American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

He then did the same thing, moving other customers and waiters out of the cafe, and rescued the passengers and driver in the bus.

While he was acting, many yellow lightning bolts shot out from his body, but strangely, not a single arc of lightning hurt the people he wanted to save, as if they all had eyes.

Only after Barry made sure that everyone was safe did he return to Iris, take back his suit, and quit the Speed Force.

The "play button" was turned on again, and the bus rushed into the cafe. The fuel tank exploded in the hall, and flames licked outward. The people outside the cafe woke up as if from a dream and began to scream wildly.

But after a few minutes, they found themselves outside the cafe and no one was injured.

This is simply a miracle!

Iris's expression of fear had not yet faded, and Barry tried his best to comfort her: "It's okay, everything is okay, Iris, you are safe..."

He kept saying this until Iris threw herself into his arms, causing him to freeze.

Chapter 323: The Imprisoned God of Craftsmen, the Divine Ring That Lost Its Mind

Devil's Island, Dane came to an active volcano on the island according to Hippolyta's guidance.

The gods of this world are not completely extinct, nor have they hidden themselves in the new divine realm like in the other world.

Some half-crippled gods chose another way to live together with humans and hide in human society.

Many superhumans on Earth-3 are actually descendants of these lingering gods and some humans, and are of demigod bloodline.

But on Devil's Island, there is still a real god alive, and Dane has been fascinated by this god for a long time.

He is Hephaestus, the god of fire.

Going deep into the volcano, there is the palace that Hephaestus built for himself. It is not a very magnificent place, but it is extremely grand and huge.

Like the kingdom under the mountain in The Hobbit, the palace's dome is very high, as if it were prepared for a giant.

When Dane met the legendary god of craftsmen, he knew that this place was indeed prepared for giants.

Hephaestus is very huge, like the dwarf in Marvel next door, and his legs seem to be of different lengths.

Legend has it that when Hephaestus was born, his mother Hera disliked his ugliness and threw him off Mount Olympus, causing him to become lame.

Dane didn't know if the original world was like this, but it seemed to be so in this world.

Hephaestus seemed to sense a stranger approaching, and he turned to look at Dane.

Once this face was exposed, well, it's no wonder that Hera disliked it and Aphrodite was unwilling. This guy is really ugly. Can you imagine what an enlarged version of Gollum looks like?

Dane also noticed that around Hephaestus' body, there were countless chains piercing his skin, and the other ends were connected to the surrounding walls.

Every time he moved, the chains on his body would shake, making a metallic clashing sound.

He is not living in seclusion here, he is imprisoned here.

Hephaestus narrowed his eyes and looked at Dane. He didn't like overly handsome men, but he was not stupid. The aftermath of the battle a few days ago had reached him.

Devil's Island never allows any man to stay on the island unless he is dead or a conqueror.

He guessed Dane must be the latter.

"I assume you must be the man who defeated the Amazons. Are you here to find a loser like me?"

Dane didn't say anything, but took out a huge head from somewhere and threw it to Hephaestus. It was the head of the god of war Ares.

At this time, the head had turned stone-gray, and the roaring expression was still on the face, as if it was still unwilling to give in.

The moment Hephaestus saw the head, he raised his leg and crushed Ares' head with one foot!

Although there are many differences between the two worlds, those romantic deeds still happened. Aphrodite even gave birth to several little war gods for Ares, who played a significant role in the Ragnarok War.

In order to humiliate Hephaestus, Ares imprisoned him and even dragged Aphrodite to perform erotic scenes in front of him many times. Which man could tolerate this?

Therefore, Hephaestus hated this man to the core. After he crushed Ares' head, he still felt unsatisfied and continued to crush it.

Then he looked at Dane: "What do you mean?"

Although he lost his mind for a moment when he saw the head, his rationality returned after venting. He understood that if Dane could kill Ares, he could naturally kill him easily.

"This is just a welcome gift." Dane crossed his arms. "Hephaestus, I hope you can do something for me. If you are willing, I can remove your seal."

Hephaestus was silent. Dane's words did not surprise him. The only thing worth praising about him was his skills as the god of craftsmen.

But he was a little confused at this time. His favorite thing to do was to help Aphrodite create exquisite jewelry, but Aphrodite betrayed him and fell into the arms of Ares, and eventually died.

His second favorite thing was to build magnificent palaces for the gods and create more powerful and sophisticated weapons, but the gods all perished in Ragnarok.

Later, he was imprisoned here by Ares, and no one could get close to him. He has only been able to survive until now because of his hatred for Ares, otherwise he would have gone crazy long ago.

But now his enemies were dead, his friends and relatives had left him, and Hephaestus suddenly couldn't find the meaning of continuing to live.

Fortunately, Dane had considered this situation in advance. He took out Ares's battle axe so that Hephaestus could see it.

He also forged this axe, so he knew this weapon very well, even Ares himself did not know this weapon better than him.

Therefore, when Dane took it out, Hephaestus could tell at a glance that the soul of Ares resided in the battle axe, but this soul was in a daze and seemed to have no will of its own.

A divine light flashed in Hephaestus' eyes, as dazzling as lava. He moved his big head in front of Dane and stared at the axe.

"Yes, I think you can see that the soul of Ares is imprisoned in this battle axe. If you agree to my conditions, the Ares inside will be yours..."

"I promise you!" Hephaestus' voice was as loud as a bell, and he agreed at once.

Dane was also decisive. He swung his battle axe out, and the power of the god of war wrapped around the battle axe and cut the surrounding chains one by one. When the last chain broke, Hephaestus was finally freed. He couldn't help but raised his head and roared.

Its sound penetrated the volcanic palace and echoed over the entire Devil's Island.

Hippolyta, who was working, raised her head and looked solemnly in the direction of the volcano.

"It's the voice of Hephaestus..."

She had seen this god of craftsmen more than once during the era when gods and humans lived together. Many of the Amazons' precious weapons were also made by this god.

However, the Volcano Temple was a forbidden area set up by Ares. They had been unable to enter for thousands of years, but now Dane had entered.

I don’t know whether this is a blessing or a curse for Amazon?

Back in the palace, Dane did not take back the battle axe, but left it to Hephaestus.

"I have given you his soul. He has become an idiot now, so you can do whatever you want to him.

As for this battle axe, I hope you will melt it down and make a new weapon. By the way, do you know how to process the ninth metal?"

Hephaestus gave him an affirmative answer: "As long as I have the materials, I can make anything you want!" This was his pride as the god of craftsmen and the god of fire.

"Very good, I will find the metal as soon as possible, and you can prepare to start the furnace."

This volcano is not only the energy source for Hephaestus to maintain his divine power, but also his furnace.

He is the god of fire. Wherever there is fire, he can obtain the basic energy to maintain his existence.

He is also the god of craftsmen, and this godhood will not be lost as long as there are minerals.

The volcanic land just happened to meet his needs for maintaining his divinity, so after Hephaestus regained his freedom, he did not want to leave the palace, nor did he want to see the Amazons, Ares' creations.

At this moment, he was staring at the Axe of Ares in his hand, thinking about how to deal with him.

Suddenly he asked, "Can you restore his sanity?"

Dane looked at him in surprise, and when he saw the hatred burning in his eyes, he understood the meaning of this request.

So he said nothing, and used the Gift of Life again to modify the God of War's sanity, but still sealed his magical knowledge, habitually playing it safe.

After regaining his sanity, Ares screamed: "Hephaestus! You're free!"

Hephaestus opened his terrifying mouth, and his uneven teeth and the gaps between them as black as charcoal made him look very evil.

Ares seemed to have already seen his own end. He screamed again: "No! You can't do this!"

Dane took a quick glance and lost interest in reading any further. "I won't interrupt your game. Remember what I told you."

Hephaestus waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

As a craftsman god who creates countless magical weapons for the gods, he knows many kinds of enchanting magic, and his treasure chest also contains many tools for transforming and processing souls.

Dane turned and left. At the palace gate, he could still hear the screams of Ares' soul. This sound was only audible to him, and it was quite loud.

But considering the grievances Hephaestus had suffered over the years, he did not blame him for disturbing the people.

Back at the Amazon Palace, Diana and Zatanna were all watching the excitement around the magic crystal ball, mainly watching Barry "fall in love" with a girl. Who says goddesses don't watch TV series? Isn't this one having a lot of fun?

"I'm going out for a while, do you want to come with me?"

Diana thought for a moment and said, "I want to stay in the Amazon. I have a feeling they might play a role in the future."

When Zatanna heard her say that, he thought about it and said, "Since Diana is staying, I'll stay too, otherwise I'm afraid those Amazons won't be able to hold on..." Diana's training intensity is indeed a bit high, as she is aiming to train a superhero.

She was a little dissatisfied. "They are too lazy! If they can't even withstand this level of intensity, how can they call themselves Amazon warriors?"

Diana must be holding the Amazons to the same standards as Artemis or Dabarda. Not to mention them, it would be difficult to find a few warriors in the entire world who could match those two.

Dane understood her thoughts: "Since none of you are going, then stay here. If you have anything, you can contact me through the magic box."

Zatanna and Diana nodded, and as they watched, Dane flew into the clouds and disappeared into the sky.

"Do you think he will be here too..."

Diana frowned slightly: "No way? There is no woman here who is worthy of him."

Zatanna turned her head and looked at Barry in the magic crystal ball, but said meaningfully: "That's not necessarily true~"

Dane couldn't hear what they were saying. He was now flying in a certain direction, which was the direction where Zansha fled.

The Crime Syndicate was unable to find the hidden Zansha, but the magic of Alcatraz was constantly monitoring him, allowing Dane to discover his hiding place.

In Seaside City, Hal feels that he has integrated into this city. Although he and Martin Jordan do not get along very well, Jessica seems to have changed her opinion of him.

He didn't know why, maybe out of pity or other emotions, he hoped to change people's impression of "Hal Jordan".

On this day, Hal unknowingly walked to where Carol lived. It was not his fault. The two places he was most familiar with in Seaside City were his home and this place.

Hal didn't want to see anything he didn't want to see. If Carol was different from what he remembered, he felt like he would go crazy, so he turned and walked away.

But by coincidence, Carol was driving home from Ferris's company and saw him.

"Hal?" Carlo asked curiously.

Hal Jordan's love for Carol in this world is completely unrequited, so they are not in a romantic relationship.

And because "Hal Jordan" once stole the business secrets of Ferris Corporation, he was almost beaten half to death by his boss Ferris.

"How dare you come back?"

Carol got out of the car and looked at Hal with her hands on her hips. She felt a little disappointed with Hal Jordan. He obviously had a great talent for flying, but he was as timid as a mouse.

Hal didn't understand what she was saying, but he knew that whatever Carol was saying was definitely not to him, but to another "Hal".

So he said, "You've got the wrong person," and wanted to leave.

However, Carol immediately sneered, "Don't you even have the courage to face me now? I thought you would be more reasonable now that you have become the Ring of Power."

Hal turned his head in surprise: "Power Ring?"

Carol raised her head proudly: "Do you think I can't recognize you just because you changed into a tight-fitting outfit? Your aura is so unique, I can see through it at a glance."

She and Hal met almost every day at the company. She knew very well about the man's vulgarity and cowardice. In the past, she hated such people because they were from completely different worlds.

But things were different after Hal got the power ring. Even after Hal put on the power ring, the look in his eyes when he looked at Carol was still so disgusting, which is why Carol was able to discover his true identity.

But Ferris wants the power ring, and Carol also wants to study the power of the ring and use Hal so that their Ferris company can gain greater benefits from the ring.

For this reason, Carol didn't mind giving Hal a little sweetness. That's why she got out of the car today to talk to this loser. For the sake of benefit, she was willing to make some sacrifices.

"I think you must have misunderstood."

Hal still said this, which made Carol feel dissatisfied. She was about to say something when she found that Hal opposite her suddenly raised his head with a serious expression and looked at the sky.

Carol followed his gaze and saw a man floating in the sky. It was the Divine Power Ring!

"Carol..." There was something wrong with the state of the divine power ring, and it seemed a little confused.

Carol was a little confused. She glanced at Hal beside her and said in disbelief: "You are not..."

"No, obviously I'm not."

Hal smiled, a confident and sunny smile that was certainly not the kind of smile the man Carol knew could produce. It even made Carol's heart beat a little faster.

"Carol, I can't take it anymore. I need you and I want you now!"

The Divine Power Ring seemed to have really lost its mind and rushed directly towards Carol, apparently wanting to kidnap her.
