The 5000-year-old girl in American comics

Chapter 171 Heavenly God's Meteor Hammer

"Ready?" Diana said casually to the men in front of her. She didn't care about their trump cards or anything like that, but the preparation time seemed a bit too long.

It's not like they've transformed or can exist in an invincible space. They're invisible and intangible, and after a long period of preparation, if Diana hadn't wanted to see what they could achieve, they would already be a bunch of useless people.

Diana's question did not interrupt their preparations. However, an OAA that had fully gathered the energy of the Celestials was ready, but it had no intention of making a move. It simply stood quietly in the void, waiting for its allies to complete all preparations.

They could only hope that their opponents were confident enough to give them time to prepare and complete their task. There were certainly people who would resort to violence at the slightest provocation, but Diana acted far too swiftly and ruthlessly. She gave them absolutely no preparation, or perhaps it's fair to say that the observers' verbal attacks were utterly ineffective.

Diana had already given them this much time; if she didn't act now, she would simply be letting those guys waste her time.

"Then let's start with you!"

Before the words had even faded, she was already there. Diana had rushed to the ready-to-go OAA, and the Mantra Chains wrapped around her fists shone with boundless golden light at that moment.

A tiny fist struck the towering body of the god. Compared to the god, Diana's fist was nothing more than a speck of dust, yet it was precisely this speck of dust that shattered the god's armor.

The contact between the fist and the Celestial Armor created a tangible energy shockwave.

Diana did shatter the god's outer armor, but the energy contained within it effectively blocked Diana's fist from continuing to penetrate the god's interior.

Even so, the Celestial was sent flying backward by Diana's punch, smashing through several Celestial hulls floating in the cosmic gaps before finally coming to a stop. But looking at the shattered Celestial hulls around her, the OAA knew that the Celestials she had smashed could never return to their original forms. But the OAA had no time to think about it anymore.

The woman charged at him again, fists raised.

This time, the god clenched his fist and collided with Diana's small fist, but the result was still not optimistic. The god could feel his middle finger deform and twist under Diana's tiny fist, and finally shatter completely.

But just as Diana's fist was about to continue destroying the internal structure of the Celestial's fist, the energy barrier that had previously blocked Diana's attack failed to function again. Instead, another Celestial on the other side had completed his preparations.

The powerful energy surge sent Diana flying, giving her no chance to move forward.

The energy surge relentlessly washed over Diana, forcefully repelling her hundreds of miles away until she crashed into the shattered remains of a celestial being, finally bringing her to a stop. However, the force of the energy continued to engulf Diana, shattering the celestial being's remains before finally halting her impact.

Diana tilted her head, a hint of excitement in her eyes, and then grabbed a shattered fragment of a celestial being, hurling it back at it. Before the fragment could even fly far, Diana had already used her Mantra Chains to bind another, still-intact, celestial body, transforming it and her Mantra Chains into a large flail, which she then swung out.

The two prepared gods, seeing the mangled body Diana had thrown out, felt no pity, simply tearing it apart with a casual energy blast. But what followed was the corpse being smashed down by Diana like a flail.

At this point, it would be utterly impossible to shatter the god's body, which was bound like a mummy by the chains of truth, with an energy shock. The previous energy shocks hadn't even caused any significant damage to the chains, so it was even less likely now.

All they can do now is prepare to withstand the "God's" meteor hammer that Diana created.

Just as the two celestials combined their strength to erect a super shield capable of covering themselves, the other celestials had also completed their preparations. Several energy blasts struck the meteor hammer, propelling it towards Diana. They used their energy blasts to swing the meteor hammer once more, but this time, the target wasn't a celestial, but Diana herself.

But if you use someone else's weapon to attack them, would they agree to that?

Diana had no intention of ending up like Thor, with the hammer not truly hers. She immediately retracted her Mantra Chains, transforming them back into the homemade brass knuckles wrapped around her fists.

As for the celestial body bound by the chains of truth, it also disappeared under the outpouring of energy from numerous OAAs.

Even after personally extinguishing any potential hope of resurrection for their own kind, these men showed no sign of distress. It was merely a reasonable loss in the course of war, nothing to be alarmed about, nor should it warrant abandoning their pursuit of Diana.

I believe that the people who can no longer be brought back to life will understand them.

Gazing at the black-haired woman floating in the cosmic gap in the distance, the gazes of the numerous OAA members grew even more resolute. The woman's current level of threat was far beyond what the observers could comprehend. Although she existed in a single universe, the emergence of a crisis in the multiverse meant that no single universe could be ignored.

Now they're only concerned with the safety of their own universe.

Diana remained silent, glanced at the OAAs, and then laughed.

Even if they didn't know why the woman could still laugh at this moment, the gods understood that she might have some other tricks up her sleeve in the upcoming battle. At least for now, they knew that the energy blasts probably wouldn't harm Diana and would only push them further away from her, preventing them from directly hurting her.

The only method they could think of now was to pull Diana in front of them for close combat. However, their bodies were simply too large, and to avoid being at a disadvantage in close combat, something had to restrain Diana's movements; otherwise, it would just become Diana walking them like dogs.

So all we can do is hope that what the observer has is actually useful. But why haven't those stupid big shots managed to take down a single robot yet?

"Is your thing not ready yet?" an OAA asked in a deep voice to the observers who were still fiddling with the Sentinel robot.

The observers naturally wanted to minimize the number of resurrectable gods, but they had no intention of letting the One-Above-Alls (OAAs) die at this time. Now, everyone was in the same boat; no one could escape.

All I could do was nod to the OAAs to indicate that I had finished my work.

The observers weren't lying; the sentinel robots were indeed completely dealt with. And now, the sentinels—no, perhaps the moment that thing opened its eyes—had already completely severed ties with the sentinel robots.

The moment the thing opened its eyes, a scarlet ray shot out, slicing through the shattered celestial body in front of it. And on its chest, tiny mechanical parts slowly formed a symbol covering its entire surface—a giant S.

Chapter 172 The Battlefield That Shouldn't Be Changed

Even Diana had to admire the Watchers' top-notch thinking at this point. To transform the Sentinels into their current form, she wondered if they'd paid their universe's creators any royalties. But judging from their expressions, these guys probably didn't care about such things at all; right now, anything was worth it as long as they could kill her.

But what could she do? Diana knew perfectly well that what these guys had poured their hearts and souls into creating was no ordinary item. But so what? She'd already tested the genuine article; why fear a mere imitation?

Diana didn't give them any more time to greet their new companions; she vanished instantly and appeared before the gods. But this time, Diana didn't even have time to throw a punch before she immediately withdrew from the gods' presence.

A blazing ray of light arrived at Diana's original spot just as she made her dodge maneuver.

That guy, modeled after Diana's own teammates, really did bear a resemblance to Kal-El. However, it seems this Sentinel Superman might not have any of those so-called Kryptonite weaknesses. After all, this guy was born from another universe, so Kryptonite and the like simply don't apply to him.

The heat vision in Sentinel Superman's eyes slowly faded, returning to its original pair of mechanical eyes with a deep blue light. Now, Diana had officially become this creature's first target since its birth, but whether she would be its last remained to be seen; only time would tell if it possessed the power to guarantee its existence.

Diana wouldn't hold back. Even if the current observers brought the original over, Diana would fight them before making any decisions. Having already arrived in another universe, why would she back down because of something? That was impossible.

The time for thought was but a fleeting moment, yet the Celestials had already grasped Sentinel Superman's fighting style and devised a coordinated strategy to defeat him in one strike. All of this was for the safety of the multiverse and for the well-being of everyone.

There's already a universe about to break away from another universe; we absolutely cannot allow a second one to happen. This kind of thing must be nipped in the bud at the source. And the source, of course, is this woman with black and blue hair right now.

and many more...

At this moment, the gods and observers realized that for some unknown reason, Diana's long black hair had turned into a black-to-blue gradient, and even her original starlight tiara was no longer the same. Instead, it had several upward-pointing horn-like strands, and the original peaceful feeling had been completely replaced by a different kind of sharpness.

Even Diana's armor has undergone significant changes. The original champion's helmet now features two black patterns on the breastplate, and the leg armor, which previously only covered her knees, is now extending upwards. The smooth shoulders that used to be exposed are now obscured by what appears to be the skull of some kind of beast, and the protective silver bracelets on her arms have been transformed into sharper, more aggressive arm guards.

The biggest change, of course, was the appearance of the blood-red cape behind Diana.

"Phew~" Diana let out a long breath. Her eyes were no longer calm as before, but rather excited. "I really never thought that one day I would be able to wear this armor again."

After stretching her neck, Diana looked at the group of people in front of her with great interest, casually beckoning them with her hand: "You want to stop me? Then come on, let's see if you have the right to say such things."

Such a drastic change in their common enemy left even those observers who had previously witnessed Diana's massive, golden torso bewildered. They had never seen Diana in this state before. It was entirely outside their knowledge; they had no idea how this woman differed from before.

"You won't come? Then I'll go!" Diana sneered, and the next moment, all that could be seen was a red streak shooting straight towards the gods. As for the red light, it was merely an illusion caused by the red cloak trailing behind Diana due to her excessive speed, leaving afterimages in the gaps of space.

One OAA was tracking Diana's movements, trying to keep her away from everyone, but in doing so, he became someone he himself overlooked. Although other OAAs were also searching for Diana, there were always times when they missed someone.

"Stop judging others, worry about yourself!"

A furious shout rang in the mind of this OAA, and the next moment he saw Diana's fist growing larger and larger in his vision until it completely pierced through one of his divine fire eyes used to observe his surroundings.

When Diana pierced the eye of the OAA, Sentinel Superman was supposed to enter the OAA's body along with Diana. However, as the OAA's mortal enemy, the Watcher naturally knew that at this moment, he couldn't let his Sentinel Superman go in to stop Diana. At that time, it would be unclear who actually killed the OAA.

Didn't you see those guys already eyeing them menacingly?

The Sentinel robot did indeed heed the Observer's words and did not follow Diana inside. However, a hint of crimson appeared in its originally azure eyes, which were no longer the mechanical blue they once were.

Perhaps, some things are truly beyond everyone's control.

After breaking through the Celestial's eye, Diana's momentum didn't diminish. She burrowed into the Celestial's brain through the hole in the divine fire eye. No matter how powerful a being is, as long as it's a living being, brain damage is bound to have a bad outcome. As for the Celestial being being an energy entity, that wasn't a problem for Diana, especially since she was already inside the Celestial's body.

With her hands forming an X shape in front of her chest, a surge of energy began to flow through Diana's body, eventually being completely released by her.

The OAA instinctively felt that his body was being completely stretched by a powerful energy. He was like a balloon that had been blown to its maximum limit, and if anything went wrong, he would explode.

Moreover, there's a needle inside his body right now, how could it not explode?

"Bang!!!"

As expected, the god's body exploded, followed by a tsunami-like surge of energy that crashed in all directions. It even blasted away the one closest to the OAA, sending him crashing into the boundary of a single universe before finally coming to a stop.

However, the boundary of that single universe showed signs of cracking. If it happened again, that single universe would collapse into the cosmic gap due to the collapse of its boundary. That would mean that these people not only failed to stop Diana from interfering with the universe, but had even become a sharp blade in it.

The battlefield can no longer be in the interstellar space, otherwise the outcome would be far more tragic than they imagined!

The next moment, it was as if a giant hand had directly grasped the cosmic gap and moved the entire gap to another location. Here, there were no individual universes, only streams of light that flowed like rivers yet intertwined with each other.

Chapter 173 The Changes in the Sentinels

Beneath everyone's feet lay an endless, flat arena, as if a gigantic dueling platform had been moved from the void. And now, this naturally became Diana and her companions' battleground.

An arena built by some guys.

The sudden shift in the battlefield had no impact on Diana; instead, it disrupted her opponents to varying degrees. After all, transforming from a cosmic rift into a gladiatorial arena was a completely different experience. The only reassuring thing for them was that their battle would no longer affect other individual universes.

But the first one to make a move was neither Diana nor Celestial, but the one who hadn't really made a move yet: Sentry Superman.

The crimson heat vision struck Diana squarely in the chest, and the sudden burst of energy propelled her away, but not as Sentinel Superman had predicted. Diana didn't suffer any major openings from Sentinel Superman's sudden attack, nor was she thrown out of control by the heat vision's power.

Under the impact of the heat vision, Diana was constantly pushed back by its force, her feet carving two deep furrows in the ground, almost reaching her ankles.

Even now, the Sentinel Superman only caught Diana off guard once, but the heat vision did not achieve the effect it had in mind.

Diana pulled her left foot out of the ground and stomped it backward. The once flat ground was completely transformed under Diana's foot, exposing the massive, jagged rocks. The soil beneath Diana's left foot was utterly crushed and no longer resembled its original state.

But Diana had already gotten what she wanted. Diana had stopped under the pressure of the heat gaze.

As the one who launched the attack, Sentinel Superman was well aware of the power of his attack, but he never expected Diana to resolve the attack so easily. The opportunity to catch her off guard, as before, would never come again.

The heat vision, which originally contained a powerful aura, is now slowly disappearing. The current heat vision is still too much of a burden for Sentry Superman; the template and abilities the Watchers redefined for it are simply too outrageous. Even though it has been completely rebuilt by the Watchers using entirely new materials, it still can't withstand this level of sustained output.

Diana brushed off non-existent dust from her breastplate and gave Sentinel Superman a nonchalant smile. But the next moment, Diana slammed her right foot into the ground, the immense force shattering the earth beneath her feet. The powerful gust of wind sent the shattered stones flying, leaving the once relatively clean ground behind her a scene of devastation and ruin.

In Sentinel Superman's vision, Diana was now right in front of him, her long legs sweeping out, aiming straight for his head. All he could do was raise his arm to block Diana's attack.

"Bang!!!"

The leg armor clashed heavily with Sentry Superman's replica Superman body and arm, creating a tangible shockwave that was now relentlessly blasting through the surrounding area. The observer closest to the two was blown away by the shockwave, only managing to avoid being blown away himself because the observer behind him held him tightly.

The gods on the other side, however, didn't have this problem. Their towering figures gave them an advantage in the current environment. The aftershocks of Diana's battle with this imposter Superman were nothing to them.

After blocking Diana's leg, the sentry grabbed her ankle and prepared to throw her away. The direction she was thrown towards was precisely towards the prepared gods. The gods had already gathered immense energy in their hands, and as Diana was thrown, they completely subdued her.

How could Diana possibly grant its wish? Just as the sentry grabbed its ankle, another leg slammed heavily into the sentry's head.

Although the Sentinel was a manufactured super robot, it still couldn't accurately control its movements when its head was struck. With a sudden release, Diana was freed.

Seeing this, the Celestial didn't care whether it would cause any harm to the Sentry Superman; the energy gathered in his hands poured out towards Diana and the Sentry.

The immense energy continued to shatter the earth and advance deeper underground, filling the space with a thick, cloud-covered layer of dust. But for those currently engaged in battle, the dust was no obstacle to their vision.

However, the gods did not find any trace of Diana there.

The next moment, a scarlet cloak appeared before them, and Diana floated in front of the gods, smiling as she watched these guys doing some useless work that wasted their energy.

The gods' enormous bodies, while having an advantage here, also presented a disadvantage. Their massive size granted them unparalleled stability and immense power. However, their already limited agility became even more sluggish.

Moreover, their defenses were still no match for Diana's attacks.
