American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 183 with Diana

Night falls, the air cools, and the earth is silent.

The entire island was quiet, with only the sound of the sea breeze crashing against the rocks.

Paradise Island.

On the top of the tallest tower on the entire island.

A huge coin, about the size of a manhole cover and cast in gold, hangs on the tower.

In the Olympian pantheon, they believed that after death, a person needed to have a gold coin in their mouth as payment for the ferryman's boat. The Amazons also used this practice as a symbol of their civilization.

At the edge of the tower, a blond young man in a white shirt sat on the boundary.

The bright moonlight shone on his perfect face, and no one could question the boy's handsomeness.

The night breeze gently lifted his long hair, and the boy looked thoughtful.

"If you really want to think about what's valuable at this point in time."

"The Mother Box counts as one, and Ares, the only survivor who inherited half of Zeus's divine power, also counts as one."

Gino closed his eyes slightly to check his score. Looking at the huge "0", he couldn't help but twitch his lips. The Speed ​​Force was delicious, but it had indeed consumed all the negative points he had accumulated during this period.

"rustle."

It sounds like the friction of hands gripping wood as they climb a ladder.

Without turning around, Gino looked up at the white moon in the night sky: "When you have time, whatever you need, she will deliver it to you."

The light breathing echoed behind him. Although faint, it was incredibly clear to Gino with his superhuman hearing. He could hear the slightly rapid breathing due to nervousness, the girl's strong heartbeat, and the strange power contained in her boiling blood.

After a brief silence, the figure hiding on the other side of the tower slowly emerged from the stone pillar.

"Playing tricks."

She complained in a low voice, but her voice was still clear and bright. A pair of gold-plated brown leather boots stepped out of the shadows, and the moonlight illuminated her long, straight, and healthy brown legs.

She wore a finely crafted silver battle dress, and her long black hair was braided into an exquisite hairpin, ready to be thrown into battle at any moment.

This was undoubtedly a beautiful girl, with delicate, slightly sharp cheeks, and azure eyes that revealed determination and indifference. Beneath her high, straight nose was a small, moist mouth, which added a touch of gentleness to her cold demeanor.

Like a gladiator from the Roman era, he exudes a decisive and ruthless aura, but his slightly immature face ruins that aura.

It's like someone who should be in school becoming an assassin—it's so incongruous.

She tilted her fair neck, revealing her delicate collarbone, and stared intently at Gino's back, her expression complex.

"I saw you at the banquet; you are Hippolyta's daughter."

Gino didn't turn around, but his voice reached Diana's ears with perfect clarity.

The girl felt a moment of disorientation, and the scenes in front of her suddenly seemed to overlap.

Her memory began to blur, and she seemed to return to an earlier time, to the scene where the boy called himself a god.

"You may call me a god."

The calm words rang out on the crowded beach, like a bomb dropped into the sand.

"How dare you!"

"How dare you?"

The Amazon warrior could no longer suppress the rage in her heart.

For those who believe in the Olympian pantheon, any stranger who dares to call himself a god in their presence is undoubtedly an insult.

"I can no longer contain my rage, Your Majesty!" The general angrily drew his sword from his waist and pounced on the boy like a ferocious female leopard.

She moved so fast that all one could see was her afterimage, and the sharp blade pierced towards the boy's neck.

In the crowd, Diana couldn't help but cry out, "Don't kill him!"

But the next moment, Diana witnessed a scene that defied all logic.

The blade seemed to have struck an invisible barrier. The veins on the female general's muscular arm bulged as she gritted her teeth, trying to pierce through the unseen wall of air.

Unable to move forward,

Sparks flew as the blades rubbed together.

"This is impossible!" The woman's face turned pale, and she stared in disbelief at the distance.

"Nothing is impossible." Gino reached out and examined his palm, watching the sunlight fall on it. He then gently closed his hand, as if trying to grasp the sun.

As she closed her hands, the female general keenly sensed that the surrounding air began to become heavy and viscous.

"Bang!"

It was as if the body was being squeezed by invisible stone walls all around, and the body that was originally standing upright was slowly bending under that heavy pressure.

"No!"

She struggled to support herself, but the immense force felt like a hammer relentlessly pounding on her back, causing her face to flush red.

Overwhelmed, despite his immense anger, the pressure he could bear far exceeded his physical limits.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, his straight back finally bent, his knees sank into the sand, and his once fair cheeks flushed red with extreme humiliation.

"Your Majesty!" Queen Hippolyta stepped forward hastily, "We meant no offense, please forgive her rudeness!"

"I hope this is the first and the last time." Gino lowered his hand, and the mountain-like weight that had been pressing on the female general's shoulder dissipated.

The woman was panting heavily, beads of sweat streaming down her face, her eyes filled with astonishment and shock. What kind of monster was that man?

"Now." The solemn expression on his face vanished, and Gino's expression returned to one of nonchalance. "I'm hungry. Let's have a banquet."

……

Diana snapped out of her daze, her gaze falling once more on the figure with his back to her. It was hard to reconcile this easygoing young man with the previously aloof "god."

Diana pursed her lips, took long strides, and walked over to Gino's side.

With a soft "whoosh," she gently smoothed her battle skirt and sat down beside Gino.

A gentle fragrance, like herbs from the forest, wafted into my nostrils.

Diana stretched out her arms and hugged her smooth knees, following Gino's gaze as she looked into the distant woods.

"You're from out of town, right?"

"Um."

"Can you tell me about humans?" Diana asked cautiously, glancing at Gino's face out of the corner of her eye.

In the Amazonian records, humans were created by Zeus and were a kind of benevolent being. However, Zeus's son Ares became jealous of humans, which led to war and disasters, turning humans into a selfish and terrifying species.

"Humans," Gino sighed, "humans are like the night sky above us, gray and gloomy."

Diana frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Neither good nor bad, that is humankind."

Gino glanced at the girl: "Are you very interested in humans?"

He knew that the girl was Diana, and he also knew that the girl could provide him with some negative points.

Therefore, Ginobili is still willing to talk to Diana.

"I don't know." Diana shook her head blankly. "It's just that staying on the island all the time can get a little boring sometimes."
