American Comics Universe: I, the Containment Object Revealed at the Start

It immediately turned into a cloud of smoke and dispersed, seemingly trying to escape.

"Don't even think about running away!"

After Diana finished speaking, she plunged the Sword of Oath into the ground in front of her with all her might.

At that moment, the light transformed into countless laser beams, spraying outwards like a torrential rain.

When the light touches wisps of smoke, it immediately forms a large net that surrounds the smoke.

Countless nets intertwined to form massive walls of light, sealing off everything inside.

Even if the smoke seeps into the walls, it will be drawn out by the light.

Light is everywhere!

Thus, the light of the Sword of Oath formed a huge cage, trapping the Balrog giant inside.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Inside the cage of light, the fire demon giant frantically attacked the walls, trying to escape.

But no matter how hard it attacked, it could not break through the wall of light.

"sizzle"

At this moment, Diana took a deep breath; this move was constantly draining her physical strength and energy.

But it's not over yet.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Immediately afterwards, Diana roared and forcefully plunged the Excalibur into the ground.

The next second, the fire demon giant inside the cage was suddenly suppressed by an invisible pressure, making it difficult for it to move.

Then, countless runes appeared inside the cage. Some of them looked very similar to the elven script on the Sword of Oath, while the origin of the rest was unknown.

Once the runes appeared, they were directly affixed to every corner of the Fire Giant's body.

This made the Balrog feel as if it were bound by countless chains, unable to move at all.

The fire demon giant then turned into smoke and tried to escape.

However, the runes are like maggots clinging to bones.

Even if the Fire Demon Giant turns into smoke.

The runes would also stick tightly to the smoke, making the Fire Giant completely unable to move!

They can only remain trapped in the cage forever!

"Whirring whirring!!!"

After doing all this, Diana took a few heavy breaths and then forcefully pulled out the Excalibur.

"I guess I don't know you completely yet."

Diana spoke these words, holding the Sword of Oath.

Without the Sword of Oath, even if Diana could use sealing magic, she would never have been able to achieve this effect.

When she used the light magic of the Oath Sword to cast sealing magic, she felt as if she had opened up an unprecedented realm.

Only then could such a sealed cage be created.

"It seems we need to learn more about this."

Diana smiled and stroked the Sword of Oath as she spoke.

Hey! You're amazing!

At that moment, Barry excitedly ran over, almost unable to stop.

“Barry, I think you should train your combat skills and improve your combat awareness, instead of being full of flaws like you. I think you only defeat many enemies because you are fast. Once you encounter someone who is prepared, I'm afraid you will be in trouble.”

Diana, like an elder, gave Barry these instructions.

"Ok."

Barry, thoroughly lectured, blushed deeply and shyly lowered his head, scratching it repeatedly.

"Ah, has that monster been sealed away? It can't escape now."

Barry quickly changed the subject, pointing to the Cage of Light and asking.

"I can't escape for now, and I don't know how long my seal can last."

Diana shrugged and gave a very honest answer.

"What?! What if he runs away again?!"

Barry was immediately devastated. That monster was so terrifying; if it got up there, many people would die.

"Don't worry, Barry, I will come back regularly to check the seal and replenish it with energy."

Diana said this.

Her only solution was to periodically reinforce the seal.

Chapter 222 Rewards: The Rope of Deception and the Dionysian Factor

"Never mind, as long as you're safe and sound, that's all that matters. You'll have to work hard from now on, Miss Diana. If there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask."

Barry said to Diana with a shy expression.

After he finished speaking, he felt something was off, and he opened his mouth halfway, unsure of what else to say.

Diana looked at Barry's boyish appearance and couldn't help but shake her head and smile helplessly.

This only made Barry more embarrassed, and he walked away with a shy look on his face, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, at Batman's base.

After witnessing this scene between Diana and Barry, Alfred shook his head helplessly.

"Master, it seems you'll soon have another rival. I hope I'm just overthinking it."

"Congratulations to Diana and Barry Allen on successfully containing the underground Balrog. Rewards will now be distributed."

"What?! What is that sound?!"

Upon hearing the voice in his ear, Barry couldn't help but cry out in shock.

"Shh, be quiet."

Diana was already used to this and told Barry to keep quiet.

"Reward Diana with the Rope of Deception; reward Barry Allen with the Dionysian Factor."

When the sound ended, a rope that Diana had never seen before appeared in her hand.

"A rope of deception?"

Diana looked at the rope she had never seen before and couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

She vaguely remembered hearing about this rope, but couldn't quite place where.

"Huh? Dionysus factor, isn't that liquid metal?"

Barry stared blankly at the canister of green liquid metal that had suddenly appeared in his hand, completely bewildered and having no idea what it was.

"The Lasso of Deception, also created by Hephaestus, the god of fire in the DC Universe, was a magical artifact he wove into a rope when doubt arose in his mind. Its creation method is the same as the Lasso of Truth."

"However, the rope of deception differs from the lasso of truth. The lasso of truth compels one to speak the truth, while the rope of deception deceives others. Anyone caught in the rope of deception will be deceived by lies, even when the truth is right before their eyes."

"The Dionysus Factor, also a unique metal in the DC Universe, appears to have no effect under normal circumstances, indistinguishable from ordinary metals. However, when the holder is near death, it can heal all injuries, cure diseases, and restore them to a healthy state. Even the already dead can be resurrected and their lifespan extended!"

The screen then begins explaining the function of these two items.

"What! It's Hephaestus's doing again!"

Diana looked at the rope in surprise, and finally remembered where she had heard the name before—in the ancient books on Paradise Island!

This magical artifact had been lost in the human world for a long time, and unexpectedly, it ended up back in her hands after going through many twists and turns!

Looking at this rope that used lies to deceive others, Diana just pursed her lips, thinking it wasn't very good.

She has always been a person who fights with honor and integrity, so why would she need to deceive with lies?

She vowed she would never use such underhanded methods!

"This piece of metal can heal all injuries and diseases? It can even revive the dead and prolong life! You must be kidding me."

Barry Allen looked the Dionysus Factor up and down in his hand.

It's hard to believe that such a small thing has such an amazing function.

"I think we can try this: I'll cut you half to death, and then you can see if it works."

Diana suddenly smiled and made this suggestion.

"I reject!"

Barry refused without hesitation, having clearly seen just how capable Diana truly was.

Let him take the brunt of Diana's attacks?

It's just telling him to go and die!

"Then we can only wait until you get injured and then we can test it."

Diana shrugged helplessly.

"I'm so fast that no one can hit me, how could I possibly get seriously injured?"

Barry, however, didn't care, believing he didn't need to use it at all.

"Oh, really? And the blood on your face..."

Diana gave a mischievous look and pointed to the bloodstains on Barry's face.

Barry then remembered that he had been ambushed and knocked away by the fire demon giant that had turned into a fly, and quickly wiped the blood off his face.

"This was an accident! An accident!"

Seeing Barry's flustered and childish behavior, Diana could only shake her head helplessly.
