The 5000-year-old girl in American comics

Bo Tu remained completely calm. Instead, he thrust forward with a powerful palm strike, hitting Diana squarely in the abdomen, while saying, "I don't know if you're from Kunlun, but getting close to her is your biggest mistake."

Diana only felt a slightly cold force sweep across her lower abdomen, and then nothing else.

"This is impossible!"

Sowanda gasped as she watched Diana, who had been struck squarely by the gambler's palm, remain completely still.

Even the gambler himself looked at his palm in disbelief.

At this moment, Stick and Matt also officially entered the warehouse, but there was neither the carnage they had imagined nor any fierce fighting inside.

After the gambler struck Diana, it was as if everything had been put on pause.

Diana didn't say anything, but simply raised her right hand, slapped the shocked gambler across the face.

Perhaps intentionally, Diana did not hold back against the leader of the Hand, but instead slapped the gambler's head so hard it turned into a bloody mist.

The splashing red smoke enveloped the other three.

No one dared to move; they just stood there, stunned. Even though the red mist around them had been the heads of their comrades just a moment before, none of that mattered to their own lives.

The gambler's headless torso fell straight down, kicking up smoke from the ground.

The mercenaries, as if they had seen a demon, desperately wanted to escape the warehouse, but the Hand ninjas blocked all their escape routes and slaughtered them all.

The three members of the Hand dared not say anything, but that doesn't mean that if they did nothing, no one else would.

"Why did you kill him!" Matt yelled at Diana. Although he couldn't see, he could roughly form an image of everything around him in his mind.

It was quite obvious that person just killed someone.

The person killed may have been a member of the Hand, guilty of heinous crimes, but everything should be left to the law to resolve, not to be subjected to vigilante justice.

Diana felt as if it were all happening in the past; someone had said that to her before.

Turning around, I looked at the man in the red bodysuit, who gradually merged with the Gotham Night Bat.

"Why did you kill him! You were perfectly capable of capturing him!" Matt didn't care at all whether this person had the power to kill him at will; not killing was his bottom line.

When a person uses their power to kill a criminal, they themselves become a criminal.

Diana ignored Matt's shouting; she simply thought the little brat resembled her comrade to some extent, but that was all.

Diana shook her hand; after all, there was still a little blood on that slap.

"Now, can any of you tell me what you're doing?" Diana asked the three men again.

“Answer me!” Matt walked toward Diana, seemingly questioning her.

“Answer my question.” Diana ignored the little brat and addressed the three Hands instead.

"In order to awaken the Black Sky." Murakami was the first to succumb to the pressure and blurted it out.

The headless corpse of the gambler lay before them, and the immense pressure of life and death was enough to break the psychological defenses of those with weak wills.

"What are you trying to do?" Before Diana could speak, the previously silent Stick spoke up.

At that moment, Matt came to Diana's side, but before he could speak, Diana grabbed him by the neck with her strong hand and lifted him up.

"What's your relationship with him?" Diana glanced at Matt's exposed chin, which did indeed resemble her Gotham Batman comrade, but this question was directed at the blind old man.

“I am his master.” Although the old man didn’t have Matt’s keen senses, he could still tell whether someone was speaking to him or not.

"Ha, just as naive as ever." Diana flicked her hand, sending Matt flying to the old man's feet.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Matt rubbed his neck as if he was trying to cough up his lungs.

"Don't speak when you shouldn't," Diana said calmly to the old man.

Chapter 41 Black Sky? Beast? What are you talking about?

"Don't speak when you shouldn't," Diana said calmly to the old man.

The old man silently helped Matt up, saying nothing more. In his eyes, Diana was nothing more than a brainless brute who relied on brute force; in the face of Black Sky's threat, she would ultimately have to rely on him.

"Now answer me, what is Black Sky?" Diana's figure at this moment was like a goddess descending to earth, and everyone who faced her trembled with fear.

"Will you let me go if I tell you?" It was Murakami again, speaking to Diana ahead of time once more.

Diana glanced at Murakami, then raised her hand again and swung it down.

"Pong!"

Just like the gambler's death, his head was once again turned into a bloody mist by Diana.

Matt felt Murakami's death, and rage erupted from his eyes. He wanted to rush to Diana and confront her, completely forgetting how he had just been subdued by that woman.

The stick-wielder stopped this street hero with an overly high moral standard, forcefully restraining Matt to prevent him from going near Diana. When Black Sky emerges, everything will be different.

She will need their help.

At that moment, Diana had no idea what the old man behind her was up to, but even if she did, she would probably just smile indifferently.

“I don’t want anyone to try to bargain with me,” Diana said, looking at the two people in front of her who were beginning to tremble.

"The Lasso of Truth, those bound by it can only tell the truth," Diana said, pulling out the Lasso of Truth that she always kept hanging at her waist.

Alexandra and Sowanda looked at the golden lasso in Diana's hand. If what this woman said was true, then Bottom and Murakami were basically the chickens used as a warning to others.

If Boto and Murakami knew that Diana had this item from the beginning... they probably wouldn't believe it either.

Diana lassoed Sowanda directly: "Now tell me, what is the Black Sky?"

"Black Void is the totem of our faith: the Beast, the vessel of the Beast's power, possessing the greatest strength. Now Black Void will soon awaken. The only one who can control him now is me, and then you will all die! Hahaha!" Sowanda was like a pathetic rag doll. Even now, Sowanda didn't think he would die. With Black Void as his trump card, no one dared to kill him. "Black Void's power is enough to destroy the entire city of New York. No one can kill him! Hahaha!"

Because that's what he really thinks; that's what he truly believes.

He also believed that once the woman in front of him learned of the terror of the Black Sky, she would spare him, and that would be her death day!

Matt and Alexandra both looked flustered. Matt didn't know the extent of Black Sky's strength, but now he did. Alexandra, on the other hand, genuinely hadn't expected the Bots to dare do this. Judging from Sowanda's words, this Black Sky wasn't one of those half-baked ones; it was likely a physical clone of a beast or something similar.

Stickman remained calm. He knew this, but he believed he could subdue Black Sky, or even kill it.

Diana's expression remained unchanged. A mere speck capable of destroying a city wasn't enough to make her change her expression. Unless you could summon Darkseid, perhaps she would frown.

But Darkseid doesn't seem as threatening as that bat that keeps laughing.

As Diana withdrew the lasso of truth, Sowanda was like a shot put thrown with great force, crashing into the concrete wall of the warehouse.

I don't know how many bones are broken. He was lying there, barely breathing, and it looked like he wouldn't survive.

Alexandra had no idea whether Sowanda could be saved; the woman in front of her, a symbol of death, had already turned her gaze toward her.

Just as I was about to say something, I heard a roar that sounded like a ferocious beast coming from the basement of the warehouse.

Alexandra's face showed excitement and relief. After all, under a huge threat that could destroy New York at any moment, she should have a chance to survive.

But it was clear that Diana did not give her that thought. However, unlike the other three, Diana used the sword of Vulcan to cut off her head.

Alexandra's face still held that somewhat manic look of relief, but her increasingly wide pupils proved that her so-called chance of survival did not exist in front of that woman.

Diana twirled her sword, as if to wipe off the bloodstains, but it was just a small habit; after all, looking cool is a lifelong pursuit.

How could a Vulcan's sword capable of cutting through subatomic particles possibly leave any bloodstains?

The roars of the beasts underground grew closer and closer to the ground, as if they would burst through the concrete floor and appear before everyone at any moment.

But strangely, the sound stopped abruptly, and everything that had just happened seemed to be a hallucination for everyone present.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the ground behind Diana was ripped open by a jet-black beast claw. The claw was clearly aimed at Diana's back, and its speed was incredibly fast.

As the beast's claws appeared, the remaining body of Hei Kong also truly appeared in the human world.

"Clang!" The ear-piercing metallic clang almost transformed into a tangible sound wave that spread throughout the space.

The moment the beast's claws appeared, Diana had already adjusted her defensive stance, and the Guardian Bracelet perfectly protected against Black Sky's sudden attack.

Diana didn't want to test whether her body was harder or the strange, black claws were harder, especially since the thing smelled terrible—a putrid, underground stench with a hint of sulfur.

"I've finally, finally come to this world! Hahaha!" The sound of the black sky, which sounded like two gongs rubbing together, was almost destroying Diana's eardrums.

"You are Black Sky?" Diana sized up the aggregate in front of her, which resembled a collection of various primal beasts. It had a thick layer of white bone on its body, making it look like an enlarged, upright lizard, which was disgusting.

It's still white.

"I am the Beast! The Great Evil God: The Beast!" The Beast looked at the woman whose sneak attack it had failed to launch. Its sudden attack was intended to severely injure this person who posed a great threat to it.

The beast didn't think there was anything wrong with failing to seriously injure the human insect, after all, there were still some capable and extraordinary individuals among these seemingly insignificant humans.

Unfortunately, it's useless; they will all eventually be killed by themselves.

Diana frowned as she looked at the beast. She had a feeling that this so-called evil god wasn't very intelligent...

“Impossible! The beast cannot descend into this world!” The old man slammed his long staff into the ground, refuting the beast’s answer. “No one can summon an evil god into this world.”

"I am just an avatar, but soon, the real me will descend here." The beast also admitted somewhat honestly that he was not the true body of the beast, but merely an avatar possessing some of the beast's power.

Just as the beast was about to continue speaking, it suddenly felt a tremendous force beside it, sending it flying. It crashed through the concrete wall of the warehouse and rolled into the park to the side.

Shaking its head, just as the beast was about to see what had sent it flying, Diana appeared in front of it, holding up a divine shield.

The second impact sent the beast sliding dozens of meters across the ground, its white bone layer shattered where Diana had struck it with her shield. Although it could quickly repair the broken bone, the beast was still filled with rage.

How could a tiny human being shatter its own bone layer?

Diana, on the other hand, nonchalantly dispelled the divine shield in her hand.

Seeing the divine power shield in the human insect's hand dissipate into specks of divine light, the beast seemed to understand why this human could shatter its bone layer.

"Since when did the Eternals start getting involved in these kinds of things?"

"I am not some Eternal One, I am the daughter of Paradise Island." Diana said, crossing her arms in front of her chest, and a burst of divine power overturned the beast's body.

Hearing the sounds of battle, Matt realized just how reckless his actions had been. He hadn't known how Diana had killed people before, but now he understood that woman was far beyond his capabilities.

The beast was somewhat dizzy from the impact of Diana's divine power. The entire white bone layer on its chest was shattered by the divine power and could not even recover. Moreover, the battle-ready divine power was still wreaking havoc within its body.

Diana couldn't help but be curious as she looked at the beast that was still able to stand up. Logically speaking, there was no reason why it could withstand a divine force attack from her.

As Diana was gathering her lightning power to test whether the thing could withstand it, a voice came from behind her.

"Wait!" Stick appeared out of nowhere and said to Diana, "The Beast is something the Hand created; it should belong to our Holy Order..."
