Diana continued, "There is a barrier left by Zeus, the king of the gods, that has kept it isolated from the world for thousands of years. We Amazons live on Paradise Island."

Calm and ordinary.

Diana spoke as if she were telling a very ordinary story.

Xinian never expected that he would hear about those amazing secrets left behind by the ancient Greek gods in such a casual setting at home.

Diana continued, "I was originally a princess of the Amazons, and I was always carefully protected by my mother and my master. Until one day, a warplane crashed into the sea near Paradise Island, and I left Paradise Island and came to the outside world, which is this world—at that time, humanity was in the midst of World War I."

"Later, I discovered that Ares, the god of war, was behind the human world war. So, I participated in that brutal war that became a catastrophe for humanity."

Next.

Diana not only recounted her origins and background, but also her experiences participating in World War I as "Wonder Woman," and her eventual choice to remain in the human world.

From initially admiring humanity to becoming utterly disappointed in it.

As a demigod, he hid himself as an ordinary person and lived in a human city for nearly a century.

Without missing a single detail, Diana appeared natural, as if she were giving her family a general overview of common knowledge.

Those myths and legends that are beyond human reach have now become casual family matters to be discussed at night.

Wonder Woman?

A princess of a clan?

Daughter of Zeus?

hope Nian was stunned, never expecting that Diana's identity, background and origins were so profound.

If Zeus were still alive, wouldn't he strike him with lightning?

hope Nian couldn't help but think.

After recounting her background and life experiences, Diana said with a slightly complicated expression, "I believe you already know. The woman in that old World War I photo you saw this morning is indeed me. I actually intended to tell you about my identity after you turned eighteen; it wasn't an intention to deceive you."

“I know.” hope Qing let out a breath and said, “You have been protecting me and preventing me from being harmed by anything extraordinary for the past sixteen years.”

Diana was silent for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you angry or scared about this?"

Why am I angry, and why am I afraid?

hope Nian shook his head and smiled, saying, "Even if you suddenly said that I'm actually a demon or something and wanted to eat me, I would accept it willingly. Besides, you're actually a descendant of a legendary god!"

"What do I have to be angry or afraid of, being able to live with such a beautiful goddess and superhero for so long?" hope Nian said, letting loose and gesturing wildly, which resulted in water splashing everywhere.

"What goddesses and superheroes? Calm down." Diana tapped Xinian on the head and scolded him playfully.

"Yes, yes, yes." Xinian rubbed his head in slight pain. Then, he and Diana both smiled knowingly.

The tense atmosphere and barrier between them completely melted away at that moment. In their place was a harmonious and tacit understanding where everyone considered the other's feelings.

Diana suddenly said, "By the way, tell me the truth about you wearing my suit and going outside to fight monsters."

"Please let me go! I was just about to say something!"

hope Nian raised his hands in surrender, and after organizing his thoughts, said, "Actually, I unexpectedly awakened some kind of superpower a week ago."

Without hiding anything from Diana, Xinian truthfully reported what he knew about his abilities.

After listening to Xinian's explanation, Diana frowned, a hint of understanding appearing in her eyes: "So that's how it is. You triggered this ability while having dinner with me."

“Yes.” hope Nian said with a wry smile, “Even I didn’t expect that using a used water glass as a medium could trigger an ability.”

Diana's eyes gleamed with wisdom as she said with even greater astonishment, "This superpower seems to be governed by the law of cause and effect. But it can even control the bloodline power of gods..."

Diana thought of the wishing stones she had encountered before, and only sacred objects left behind by the gods could possess such extraordinary effects.

However, although hope Nian's ability has a time limit, it has no negative effects and requires no price to pay!

Diana suddenly thought of many things, her beautiful eyes brightened slightly, and she murmured to herself, "I said I would give you the opportunity to choose which path to take in the future. I didn't expect that you would actually have such a choice."

"What are you talking about... what conditions?" hope Nian asked, confused.

"No, I was just thinking about the superpower you awakened."

Instead of offering an explanation, Diana posed a question: "I was wondering. Just by exchanging cups, you were able to master all my abilities in four hours?"

"And now, you haven't triggered the Master of Families' ability."

“That’s true.” hope Nian nodded. “Is there a problem with that?”

“What I’m thinking is,” Diana took a deep breath and pondered seriously, “if we add more media or change other media, will there be any other changes…”

Xinian felt that Diana's ideas were dangerous.

However, he really hadn't thought of that.

Could it be...?

Can the abilities of a leader of a dependent truly change over time or in other ways due to the influence of the medium?

Chapter 17, Supergirl, Kara Danvers

The next day, early in the morning.

The moment Kara Danvers, wearing a pair of old-fashioned black glasses, carrying a schoolbag, and walking with her head slightly down, stepped into the school gate, the entire vast high school opened up to her.

From the loud footsteps and slaps of soccer and basketball players on the school playground to the slight trembling of a hibernating insect in the grove behind the teaching building; from the loud discussions or whispers of students nearby to the weary yawns of the security guard at the back gate of the school on the other side.

Even though Kara wasn't consciously listening, a massive amount of audio information still entered her ears clearly and without hindrance.

Kara frowned slightly, a hint of discomfort in her eyes. Fortunately, more than three months had passed since she awakened her super hearing. She showed no sign of abnormality and walked into the teaching building as usual.

Unlike Kara, who instantly discerned and saw through their secrets, the students outside and in the corridor merely glanced at Kara before quickly looking away.

For them.

Kara, a female student, is neither good at dressing up nor has a withdrawn and gloomy personality, making her an inconspicuous figure in the school.

Kara, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't attract the attention of her classmates, including those in her own classroom, and strode briskly through the back door to her seat in the corner against the wall.

Kara reached out and gently pulled out the sturdy chair back, as if afraid of accidentally destroying it. Only after she was fully seated in the chair did she breathe a sigh of relief.

This cautious behavior was repeated almost every time I went to school.

"Carla, you can do it. Nothing went wrong this time, and nothing was damaged." Carla Danvers cheered herself on, a bright and sweet smile on her face, a beauty that even her thick black glasses couldn't hide. It was just a pity that no one could appreciate this moment.

Yes.

Kara is a Kryptonian hidden in the world of ordinary people, and the second Kryptonian remaining in the entire universe. Her real name is "Kara Zo-El".

The first Kryptonian was, of course, Superman, a superhero already famous on Earth, who was also her cousin: "Kal-El".

As for.

Why does Kara look younger than her cousin, who is only a fifteen-year-old girl in the prime of his youth? It all started when Krypton was destroyed.

As Krypton was destroyed, Kara's parents sent her to Earth to protect her infant cousin, Kal. Unexpectedly, Kara encountered a wormhole while traversing the universe, losing over a decade in an instant. When the spaceship arrived on Earth, it was already six months into the present.

By this time, her cousin had fully matured into Superman and no longer needed Kara's protection. Instead, he helped her find a foster family, the Danvers family, allowing her to live in an Earth city like an ordinary person.

Kara glanced at the clock on the wall; there were still about five minutes before class started.

She took out her textbooks to review beforehand, but the sounds of school life continued to fill her ears. The most frequent of these were, of course, the conversations and discussions among students.

Today, unlike usual, when people discuss gossip about couples at school or famous superheroes, almost nine-tenths of the students are talking about today's morning news.

Although it's a morning news report, the incident actually happened last night.

A giant green-yellow monster appeared in an outer suburb of Washington, D.C., prompting an immediate response from the armed forces to suppress it, resulting in heavy casualties among the military. News reports interspersed with blurry and shaky footage from the scene show the green-yellow monster destroying and ravaging the city and military forces with terrifying power.

Following this, Spider-Woman, the silver-haired goddess, and the golden-armored knight appeared in the city battle. A short clip of the confrontation between the silver-haired goddess and the green-yellow monster was shown, showcasing a shield bash and a giant fist clash that immediately caused a huge sensation and reaction worldwide!

Among them, the most talked-about topic is naturally the silver-haired goddess who defeated and beheaded the green monster!

"I hereby unilaterally declare that the silver-haired goddess will henceforth be my superhero idol!"

"Pah! Get lost! You used to say your idol was Superman."

"Who says that if your idol is a superhero, you can't support a silver-haired goddess?"

"As a Batman fan, I also love the silver-haired goddess; it's just that she's too cool..."

Not only among students, but in just one morning, the silver-haired goddess became the most popular superhero (female) in Washington!

Even many teachers in the high school, especially the male teachers, were banging on their desks in the office, excitedly asking, "Does this mean that the silver-haired goddess is a local superhero living in Washington, D.C."

"It's hard to say. For superheroes with such extraordinary talents, the distance between cities isn't as far as we understand it," one of the teachers rationally analyzed.

Other teachers immediately nodded in agreement. Like Superman and Iron Man, although the public knows they live in Metropolis and New York City respectively, their extraordinary abilities would not surprise anyone if they appeared on the other side of the world.

"I don't care, she's going to be my dream goddess from now on, I'll definitely buy any hero-themed merchandise she releases!" the male teacher said resolutely.

However, if he knew the identity behind the silver-haired goddess, I wonder what he would think.

"Silver-haired goddess, Spider-Woman, giant monsters..."

Kara muttered something under her breath, but she was completely uninterested in it.

Just the opposite of ordinary people.

Kara was only interested in things concerning ordinary humans; as for matters of the supernatural—her existence as a Kryptonian was the greatest hidden supernatural being in Washington, D.C.—she didn't care much about them.

"Class is about to start." Kara was slightly taken aback, but among the many voices in the school, she did not hear the gentle voice she most wanted to hear.

The person did not pass through the aisle against the wall next to her seat as usual.

Ding!

The school bell rang in the teaching building.

Kara quickly glanced towards one side of the upper floor of the teaching building. To her, the several layers of walls suddenly seemed meaningless, and she could see a classroom in the higher-level section. In the classroom, which was full of students, two seats were conspicuously empty.

The male teacher, who had just been discussing buying hero merchandise, came to the classroom podium with a thermos and explained, "Today, students Xinian Prince and Gwen Stacy are taking the day off because they are not feeling well."

"Not feeling well? He seemed perfectly healthy yesterday."

Kara frowned slightly, and what bothered her even more was that many students were whispering among themselves in that classroom.

"What a coincidence, both of them took leave at the same time?"

"It seems my guess was right, they might really be a couple!"

"So, I have no chance?!"
