So she didn't realize that Diana's target was her feet!
So Diana slashed the round shield with her sword, but at the same time she bent down and kicked Hippolyta in the calf, instantly making her lose her balance.
The huge force of the kick even made Hippolyta's whole body flip ninety degrees. When she began to use the round shield to protect her body again, Diana stabbed the round shield with a sword.
She turned the round shield with force, and the sword that Hippolyta took the opportunity to stab was also stuck in the round shield.
Then she exerted more force, pulled the shield out of Hippolyta's hand, and threw it aside.
Then he punched Hippolyta in mid-air and sent her flying.
Hippolyta bounced a few times on the ground and then tried to get up, but Diana had already pounced on her.
She used the locking technique she learned from the human world to lock Hippolyta's joints. Under the tremendous force, even Hippolyta, who had received the blessing, felt unable to move.
So she just struggled a few times and gave up.
It was really unbecoming for both her and Diana to wrestle with her opponent in the middle of the arena.
Doing this in public would be an act that would damage their honor, so Hippolyta had no choice but to admit defeat.
When Diana let her go, she was quite exasperated: "Where did you 497 learn such a shameless technique?!"
She didn't know at this time that she was being used by Diana, who took advantage of her need to always maintain her decency in front of the people.
Otherwise, the battle continues.
Diana said proudly, "Because I know that if you follow the Amazon way of fighting, you would rather fight to death than admit defeat, but the divine power in your body cannot sustain you until that time."
Once Hippolyta loses the protection of her divine power, Diana will punch her with the power of a demigod. She is really afraid that Hippolyta will be beheaded on the spot, and Diana herself may not be able to react!
At this moment, she felt that what Dane said was right. Don't hesitate when to use means, use means decisively. This is called wisdom!
Dane, who was standing in the stands, almost laughed out loud when he saw this scene.
Diana has become a bit sinister now. I don’t know who she learned this from.
"There's no honor in winning like that!"
Next to Dane, Menalip was also very angry. With her keen eyesight, she could naturally see the problem.
But it is obvious that Diana is capable of winning more decently!
"I think if it weren't for this, one of your kings would have died today."
Given Hippolyta's personality, she would probably prefer to die in battle to clear the last obstacle for Diana's throne.
The new king ascends the throne, but the old king is still alive. How can this be?
It seems that Hippolyta will still be able to seize power in the future, but she is not in the same situation as Atlanna.
Hippolyta did not make any mistakes during her reign, so by then many old people would probably be willing to continue to obey her command and sideline Diana.
But for Diana, inheriting the throne was never what she wanted. She only wanted one thing from the beginning to the end.
"Mother, now that I have won, please issue a royal decree immediately to assemble all the Amazon troops. We are going to fight a war with humans and Atlantis."
"For justice!".
Chapter 281: The Spark of God Reappears
Diana did not mention the throne, and Hippolyta knew that she might not have the intention to take over the throne from her.
Therefore, she wanted to preach immediately. How could the succession to the throne be treated so lightly?
But before she could finish her words, Antiope rushed out and spoke before Hippolyta could say anything:
"I understand. The Amazon army will be under your command."
This interruption made Hippolyta stop talking about what she wanted to say.
Only then did Antiope turn around and look at her:
"According to the rules of the throne challenge, Diana now has every right to assert her claim to the throne, so it makes perfect sense for her to command the Amazon army. What do you think?"
How could I not understand this?
Hippolyta felt that Antiope was avoiding the main point. Since she could force the claim, why not let her ascend the throne directly?
What the hell is it to just let her accept the army? This is totally against the rules!
But this was something that Antiope and Diana both knew. They both knew that Hippolyta was the most suitable person to be king, whether from the perspective of the people's wishes or from Diana's own intentions.
Diana can't give up Dane and the Justice League, so she can't really sit on the throne. Otherwise, how can she be Wonder Woman in the future?
Do we expect Hippolyta to be as hardworking and dedicated as Atlanna and act as a behind-the-scenes puppet?
Diana is not a king who needs to be entrusted like Arthur! She is capable.
"What does this mean?" Menalip asked her own question, which was actually the same question as the audience.
They seemed to have heard before that this was a battle for the throne!
Queen Hippolyta lost, so is it now Diana's turn to inherit the throne?
But no one answered their question, and soon they were shocked by an even more shocking news.
Antiope, the general of the Amazons, stood in the center of the field and announced loudly to the people in the stands.
"Amazon! Please listen to me!"
The noisy sounds at the scene suddenly quieted down, showing the good obedience of the Amazons.
"Amazon warriors, I'm sure you all know that the Mother Box has been taken."
Even if most of the Amazons here have not experienced it personally, they must have heard about Darkseid, so they can understand what Antiope means.
"Protecting the Mother Box is the responsibility given to the Amazons by the gods, but we have lost it. This is a serious dereliction of duty!"
Dane couldn't help but look sideways, this woman didn't say that yesterday!
Sure enough, this woman's face was like the weather in June, changing at any time.
Antiope's words successfully aroused the Amazons' sense of honor. They were truly a group of very simple warriors who would sacrifice their lives for some illusory glory or beliefs.
This kind of thing has become very scarce now, and Dane can understand Hippolyta's actions even more.
If she, as a queen, doesn't have a little more time to watch over these people, she might end up counting money for them after they are sold.
"Take back the Mother Box!"
"Take back the Mother Box!"
The Amazons in the stands roared, connecting like waves. As a fighting nation, their fighting spirit would be boosted with just a little encouragement.
Seeing that the army was in good spirits and morale was high, Antiope drew the sword from his waist and pointed it diagonally towards the sky.
"All Amazons, listen up! All those in training, return to your units immediately, find your centurions, and train the troops.
We Amazons will leave Paradise Island and go to the human world to let that hateful thief see the wrath of the Amazons! "
As soon as Antiope finished speaking, followers roared like clouds and thunderous cries of war that resounded in every corner of the arena.
Amazons, officially join the Earth Alliance!
Dane noticed that when Hippolyta no longer opposed the Amazons' participation in the war, even Menalipe beside him became excited and showed a sense of joy at the thought of war.
The fighting nation is just a name.
Amidst the cheers, Hippolyta was still worried. After they walked out of the arena, Hippolyta took the initiative to attack Antiope.
"Antiop, you shouldn't act on your own!"
But Antiope said to her expressionlessly, "If you could win, I wouldn't have to do this."
This sentence silenced Hippolyta. No matter what, it was because she lost that Antiope had to agree to Diana's request.
Otherwise, if Diana had really become the queen, she wouldn't have the chance to complain here.
Hippolyta had to avoid this topic and turn to another issue: "Even if we want to use military force against Steppenwolf and his minions, we have no weapons to deal with them."
She emphasized: "You saw it last time too. Our current weapons are completely ineffective against them. This is no longer the golden age."
At this time, Diana interrupted and said, "I remember that Paradise Island still has some magical weapons that were preserved from the past. They were all made by Hephaestus, the god of fire."
Although those are only mass-produced products, once they are able to work, their power will be no less than that of modern humans' thermal weapons, and they may even have a greater advantage in range.
Moreover, these divine weapons also contain magical powers, which can cause additional damage to the new gods or their creations, which is something that human weapons cannot do.
However, the premise of all this is that they must be able to work, and this is exactly Amazon’s pain point today.
Ever since the gods retreated to the new divine realm, those magical weapons have no longer received the gods' blessings and can no longer play their due role.
Since they are weapons created by God, they certainly need God to help them maintain their divine power, and this process must continue.
Otherwise it would become a disposable thing like Hippolyta.
This might not be a problem for weapons like arrows, but for weapons that need to be used continuously, such as swords, shields, and guns, if there is no god to maintain their function, they will soon be treated as scrap metal by the demon army, just like ordinary mortal soldiers.
Hippolyta now found Diana annoying no matter how she looked at her, so her tone was not very pleasant: "Now that the world has lost the gods, those divine weapons have long lost their former glory. They are now just a pile of scrap metal!"
Antiope also agreed, "Indeed, unless there is a Spark of God, perhaps it can activate their abilities."
Hippolyta heard this and knew that Diana would definitely volunteer. As the daughter of Zeus, she did have the ability to use the Spark of God, so she quickly added:
"But simply activating it is useless unless you can stably and continuously supply energy to an entire army. But let's not talk about whether you can do it. Even if you can, then you're basically saying goodbye to the battlefield."
Once Diana chooses to take on the energy supply of an entire army by herself, even if the number of Amazon warriors is not large, it will become a huge burden for her.
Carrying such a heavy burden, it was impossible for her to join the battlefield in person.
This was absolutely unacceptable to the warlike her, especially when her compatriots were fighting on the front lines but she could only watch from the rear. Based on Hippolyta's understanding of her, this was even more unbearable.
However, what Hippolyta did not expect was that Diana was not worried about this issue, but smiled at her.
"Mother, just watch. This problem is not a problem for us at all."
Hippolyta didn't understand where her confidence came from, but since her words couldn't shake Diana, she was completely helpless.
Could it be that the Amazon, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is now declining in her hands?
The Amazons are very efficient. For an army that still follows the ancient military system, their efficiency is even higher than that of the United States soldiers.
Sam Lane and his gang of old guys really should come over and take a look, it would be so embarrassing for them!
Menalip followed the queen's order and moved out all the magical weapons that had been stored in the warehouse for a long time and placed them under the sun.
I have to say it's tragic.
These weapons, which once shone brightly in the battlefield against foreign invasions, are now covered in rust, and some even have bent blades, making people wonder whether these weapons will break at the slightest touch.
The Amazon warriors had received notice when they assembled, so they did not carry any weapons at this time.
At this moment, when they saw the weapons spread out on the ground like scrap metal, they all thought:
If they were asked to go to the battlefield with such rags, they would rather go in with bare hands and fight the demons!
Hippolyta was standing right in front of the army. She looked back at Diana and said, "Now, it's up to you."
However, Diana did not move, instead Dane beside her came out.
I believe that not only Hippolyta, but also Antiope and Menalipe have been puzzled for a long time.
So, how did Dane get to be with Diana?
Dane walked slowly to the front of the pile of weapons. In front of him, besides the weapons, there were also Amazon soldiers lined up in neat rows. They also looked at the only man on Paradise Island with curious eyes, wondering what he was going to do.
Dane closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, divine power had already illuminated his eyes through the dazzling lightning.
Above the sky, the clear blue sky had been stained by the shadow of thunderclouds without anyone noticing, and the clouds were rapidly gathering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the dark clouds, you can hear the muffled sound of thunder from time to time.
Hippolyta, who was watching this scene from behind, was shocked and said, "This is the power of Zeus!"
As Zeus's lover, it was impossible for her not to have seen Zeus's power, so she could easily discern the nature of this power.
Dane raised one hand and made a fist gesture towards the sky. The clouds quickly shrank under his gesture, as if something was brewing.
At this moment, Dane suddenly swung his arm downwards, and a bolt of lightning suddenly burst out from the clouds. It fell according to his command and struck directly on the pile of "scrap metal".
A fierce white light flashed, and when everyone lowered their arms to block the light, the only things left on the field were the magical weapons shining with dazzling divine light.
That is the spark of God, the blessing from the King of Gods!
