American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 190 Hostage Gino?

"boom!"

Brilliant and dazzling, like an old light bulb exploding under overload, the brilliant light and energy it releases in an instant is like a whirlwind of air that scatters and flies, stirring up dust.

Let's turn back time by one minute.

"Ares!"

After confirming the visitor's identity, Diana did not hesitate to swing the Lasso of Truth in her hand and grab the man's neck.

"Oh, Diana, my sister." Ares, dressed in a suit, shook his head, looking down at the force gripping his neck.

Ares reached out and grasped the Lasso of Truth, his tone playful.

I have no intention of being your enemy.

"But if you insist on killing me." Ares lowered his eyes slightly, and his right hand, which was holding the Lasso of Truth, suddenly crackled with a bright white electric current.

They crackled and popped, each arc of electricity containing terrifying power.

"I will oblige!" Ares's voice turned cold, and it was at this moment that the God of War revealed his true killing intent.

A terrifying killing intent, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, enveloped Diana, and along with it, the lightning arcs, shining ever brighter and hotter, erupted.

"boom!"

Its power was no less than that of dropping a missile, and the terrifying explosion even carried poisonous fog in all directions.

"Bang!"

Like a golf ball that has been hit, Diana landed heavily on the ground after a tumbling and awkward landing.

The girl felt as if her internal organs were being burned by fire, causing her to furrow her brows and groan softly, though she was filled with horror.

The reason is simple: each of the Greek gods had their own divine role. Zeus ruled the sky and thunder, Hades ruled the underworld, and Poseidon ruled the sea.

The God of War can only control war and slaughter, but judging from the attack just now, it was clearly pure lightning power striking him.

Diana sprang to her feet, showing no fear as an elite member of the Amazons. She swung her arms and charged at Ares with lightning speed once more.

She was aware of her weaknesses; only close combat might offer her a glimmer of hope.

But Ares, the god of war, clearly saw through Diana's intentions.

With a disdainful smile, the man slowly raised his hands.

The next instant, the originally gloomy night sky suddenly blazed with blue light, lightning brewed in the clouds, and then poured down onto the battlefield like two thick streams of water.

"I control the thunder!"

Ares swung his arms, and countless bolts of lightning lashed out at Diana like the whips of a god, knocking her to the ground.

"I control the sky and the lightning!"

With the man's roar, countless bolts of lightning struck Diana once more, knocking her down.

"And you, the last demigod, what makes you think you can fight me?" Ares strolled over casually. "Just your laughable, reckless courage?"

"Snapped!"

Another bolt of lightning struck Diana, sending her flying dozens of meters before she crashed into the mud.

"really."

Diana struggled to her feet, her hands gripping the mud, and looked up at Ares with fear in her eyes: "You have stolen Zeus's thunderous power!"

Hundreds of meters away, Ares floated slowly in mid-air with an indifferent look in his eyes, letting out a few sneers.

"Diana, human society is no different from the natural world."

"The law of the jungle prevails; only the fittest survive. That fool Zeus only knew how to protect humans—that's his original sin!"

Ares stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air, and with a slight wave of his hand, the originally fitted suit spontaneously combusted without fire, and was continuously tempered and transformed in the flames into a set of steel armor covered with iron spikes and burning with fierce flames.

Beneath that square Roman helmet, a pair of brown eyes were filled with savagery.

"Humans are not worthy of being saved!" Flames burned all around, and Ares, the god of war, looked on with arrogance: "Look at them, weak and despicable."

"I can give you a chance!" Ares said with a sneer, "Submit to me, and I will allow you to share the world with me!"

As he spoke, Ares looked at Diana and licked his lips, saying, "After all, only you and I are left with Zeus's bloodline. If I want the gods to grow stronger, I cannot do without your body."

Hearing Ares's insane words, Diana felt like she was about to explode with anger.

Her chest heaving violently, Diana retorted without hesitation, "You damned old man, you're dreaming!"

"Is that so? But if you don't want to, I'll kill your friend."

As he spoke, Ares pointed to Gino, who stood not far away on the edge of the battlefield.

As the god of war, understanding the battlefield is also an essential skill for him.

After observing for a long time, Ares had already noticed the strangeness in the relationship between the two.

Sometimes, you can tell from the way Diana looks at Gino that this naive girl is infatuated with him.

"You like him, don't you?" Ares sneered, his words utterly despicable. "If you don't agree, I'll kill him!"

The cold, harsh words, amplified by divine power, resounded throughout the world, reaching precisely into the ears of Gino and Diana.

Her previously pale cheeks flushed instantly. The girl, her secret exposed, seemed flustered, but quickly, her gaze turned strange. She looked up at Ares, who was flying in mid-air, and asked as if she hadn't heard him clearly, "Excuse me, what did you just say?"

Ares was slightly taken aback, but confident of victory, the god of war smiled and said, "If you disagree, I will kill this boy!"

As he spoke, the man turned his head to look towards the corner.

But upon seeing the expressionless blond boy with his arms crossed, Ares' heart skipped a beat for some reason.

A sense of fear, which he had not experienced in thousands of years, filled his heart, but it vanished in an instant, followed by shame and anger.

How could Ares, the god of war, feel fear in a boy?

Although this person could fly and was immune to poison gas, in Ares's eyes, he was at most a demigod.

As Ares's gaze swept over the strange short-sleeved shirt and trousers, as well as the spotless white sneakers, a sudden realization dawned on him.

He suddenly realized that the explosion he had created earlier had engulfed both Diana and this person.

But why was the boy completely unaffected?

You must know, I used the thunderous power of Zeus!

"Gulp." For some reason, Ares swallowed hard and clenched his fists. He suddenly realized that his biggest enemy on this battlefield was not Diana, but this blond boy who was too handsome.

Meeting Ares's gaze, Gino sighed softly, "Why would you say something like that?"

Gino seemed to be asking a question, or perhaps talking to himself: "I originally just intended for you to be Diana's sparring partner to increase her combat experience."

As one of the four pillars of the future Justice League (right, Green Arrow?), and an important force on Earth, Gino's original plan was to hammer and chain Diana to help her grow rapidly.

But Ares destroyed all of these.

Gino reluctantly released his hands, and in the next instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Gino exhaled softly: "You mean you?"

He pointed at Ares and said to the powerful god of war, "Why do you seek death?"
