American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 187 Don't Learn from Clark

"Splash!"

The night wind, rising from the sea, carried a damp, salty smell.

Diana, having successfully acquired a set of "divine gear," was filled with pride. The girl held her head high, gripped her longsword tightly, and slightly lifted her toes to gaze at the distant sea.

"Let's go when you're ready." Gino walked up to the girl and gently put his arms around her waist.

"Of course I'm ready." Diana pursed her lips and subconsciously turned her head to look at Paradise Island behind her. This was the first time she had left the island, and she felt a little nostalgic.

"Let's go then." Gino didn't give Diana any time to reminisce, and pulled her close with his right arm around her waist.

"boom!"

Manipulating the bio-force field, the two rose into the air, like rockets piercing the night sky and disappearing into the horizon, leaving only a "scratch" formed by their excessive speed.

Shortly after the two left, two figures slowly emerged from a small hill not far from the beach; it was Queen Hippolyta and her general.

"Your Majesty, Diana just left with that boy like that?" The female general stared hatefully at the dark night sky.

Hippolyta sighed softly, gazing at the clouds above with a complex expression, and said, "The fledgling eagle will always spread its wings and fly; her future is the stars and the sea."

"But the outside world is dangerous..."

"I believe that boy who claims to be 'god' will protect Diana."

Why?

"Because such a strong person disdains to lie." Hippolyta smiled and shook her head. "Let's go."

....

"let's go."

It took about thirty seconds, just a few breaths, for Diana to come to her senses and find the two of them standing outside a bar not far from the famous London Bridge.

As a long-established superpower, before its younger brother, the United States, rose to prominence and took control of the world, the British Empire was the world's leader.

As the birthplace of the First Industrial Revolution, the use of steam engines became widespread throughout the country.

A ferry, roaring and spewing plumes of smoke from its chimney, slowly passed under the bridge, the air thick with the pungent smell of chemicals.

The river was filled with all sorts of dirty industrial waste.

Dirty stray cats and dogs roam the streets and alleys, and drunken homeless people can be seen lying on the ground from time to time.

The pressures of World War I severely impacted people's incomes, leading many unemployed to numb themselves with cheap alcohol.

If future generations of demons, monsters, environmentalists, vegetarians, and animal rights activists saw this, they would probably be furious.

"This...this is human society?"

At this moment, by the bridge, Diana looked around blankly at the scene, including large jet-powered ships and cars.

There were also all sorts of strange things that greatly shocked Diana.

She had thought human society was wonderful, but what she was seeing now was comparable to Hades' hell.

"That's part of it." Gino yawned. "Remember your goal: to kill Ares. What do you plan to do?"

His words brought Diana back to reality. The girl frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

She frowned, her small hands pinching her chin.

The little head was frantically thinking about the next plan.

However, this appearance gave Gino a sense of déjà vu.

No, Diana's expression looks like that of an old friend named Clark.

I sighed inwardly, "Don't be like Clark! One brute is enough."

Before Gino could react, Diana seemed to have given up thinking. She spread her hands, looked at Gino with pitiful eyes, and said, "I don't know. I want to hear your opinion."

"Slap!" Gino rubbed his forehead. Sure enough, just as he had guessed, Diana, like Clark, was the reckless type.

Speaking of which, the personalities of DC's heroes are quite interesting. If you are strong, then your strategies will definitely not be enough, and vice versa.

Having truly grasped Batman's feelings, Gino sighed softly and said, "You're not thinking you'll do whatever I say, are you?"

"Uh, no, I do think about things myself too." Diana's averted gaze betrayed her.

With a sigh, Gino suppressed his temper and patiently instructed the girl, "If you were to fight a war, what would be the first thing you do?"

Hearing Gino's words, Diana replied without hesitation, "Grab your weapons and fight!"

Well, all I can say is that they truly live up to their Amazonian nature; they're just plain reckless!

"Fight back?" Gino almost laughed out of exasperation at Diana. If he had asked Clark this question, the big boy might have said, "I'll listen to Gino." But Diana's attitude was that no matter what, they should fight first.

"Never mind." Gino sighed again, patted the silly girl on the shoulder and said, "In a war, the first thing to do is to gather intelligence."

Gino held up a finger and instructed Diana: "Gather intelligence, find clues, organize the intelligence, and make a plan."

"These four steps are enough to support a war."

Of course, everything Gino said can be summarized by the eight words of an Eastern sage: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

"Then where do we gather intelligence?" Diana tilted her head, but she kept Gino's words firmly in mind.

"It's simple." Gino pointed to the tavern behind him: "With the war raging, you can grab any random passerby and they'll give you some information."

"Bars are a melting pot of all sorts of people, making them a great place to gather information."

.......

"Click".

With their arms broken, accompanied by a piercing scream of "Ah!", the two drunkards were sent flying backwards and crashed heavily into the muddy alley, their heads lolling to the side as they fainted.

After dealing with the two scoundrels who coveted Diana's beauty, Gino and the girl walked side by side along the Thames River at night.

"What have you learned?" Gino asked, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Yes, the war was started by the Germans. A general named Ludendorff is currently leading his troops in an invasion, killing many innocent civilians."

Diana said with a serious expression, "Only Ares could commit such a cruel act."

She solemnly concluded: "Ludendorff is Ares."

"If we eliminate Ludendorff, we can stop this war!"

....

"There's not much time left!"

Inside the dimly lit underground laboratory.

A man wearing a gas mask screamed in agony.

Inside a transparent glass room, the test subjects groaned as their exposed skin was burned, boiled, and bled.

"No, that's not enough!"

A woman wearing a mask, her profile in profile, angrily pulled down the gate to end the experiment.

She raised her eyes, her gaze filled with awe as she looked at the tall, imposing figure standing by the window not far away.

"Dr. Maru, are you still unable to overcome the problem of gas masks?" The general, with graying temples and wearing a dark green cloak, looked coldly at the scenery outside the window, his thick fingers rubbing the gun at his waist.

Dr. Maru was embarrassed and quickly pleaded, "Give me some more time."

"I will definitely create a poison gas that will kill people instantly if they inhale it!"
