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

So after Dane gave up his position, Diana took the Sword of Vulcan and counterattacked the orc army.

Ten minutes later, thousands of orcs were killed by Diana alone. Even the ancient heroes could not match such fighting skills. Hespera was in a bad mood.

This means that for quite some time they have no way to prevent the temple from changing hands.

The three of them occupied the small divine realm where the three goddesses had lived for many years. Anthea was manipulated by Circe to go to the treasury of the temple. Although there was no magic in this place, there were still some divine materials.

Diana took Calypso and Hespera to check out the army here. Although those orcs were vulnerable to her, they were much stronger than ordinary humans. Perhaps they could serve as an effective supplement to the Amazon army, or even as cannon fodder.

Dane, on the other hand, came to the Tree of Life with the scepter. This giant tree that once bore golden apples has now become a candle in the wind, with very little vitality left.

If it weren't for it, this small divine world would have long become a dead place.

Dane was very familiar with doing this kind of thing. He raised the scepter high, and the sky above Mount Atlas changed color in an instant.

Even Diana, Circe and others were attracted and looked outside the temple.

Hespera already had a little bit of magic power, and she sensed that a powerful divine power was gathering in the air.

"He is a god?" Hespera turned her head sharply and stared at Diana with burning eyes.

Among the three people just now, only Diana introduced herself. She only knew that this woman with excellent fighting skills was a demigod, but she didn't know much about the other two.

But the fact that he could cause such a celestial phenomenon showed that the man was qualified to use that power and was definitely a god with authority.

"That's none of your business. Keep leading the way." Diana said coldly. Calypso's mouth was too dirty and she had silenced it. Now she was being tied up by Diana like a mortal.

Hespera was choked by Diana's attitude and could only hold back her anger and continue to lead the way, thinking that she would endure for a while and teach the other party a lesson after her strength was fully restored.

Dane raised the scepter in his hand high, and a bolt of lightning descended from the dim sky and struck the scepter. The barrier that had enveloped the small divine realm for a thousand years was finally completely opened.

The scepter slammed into the ground, and the thunder was directed into the earth. The divine power in it was absorbed by the Tree of Life along the roots underground.

After more than ten seconds, flowers bloomed on the Tree of Life, and the shriveled trunk gradually filled up. The Tree of Life did not return to its heyday, but it had escaped the crisis of withering.

As the barrier was broken, the vitality of the human world began to flow into the small divine world, bringing with it the source of magic power.

The essence of magic is actually life force. Under the complex reactions of the ecosystem, the air will be filled with weak magical elements, which is also the source of magic for many spellcasters in the DC universe.

It's just that due to modern industrial pollution, the magic power in the human world is somewhat not very clean.

In addition, after entering the modern era, human society has been filled with desires, the seven deadly sins have filled every corner of the world, and the source of magic that should have been pure has been stained with a layer of gray.

This leads to the fact that in modern society, black magic is always easier to perform than white magic, and the effect of magic is actually deeply affected by the environment.

Modern spellcasters have adapted to such magic, just as modern humans have adapted to and coexist with the turbid quality of the air.

However, the three goddesses were imprisoned in the small divine realm thousands of years ago. At that time, the magical elements had not yet been severely polluted. So although they felt the magic power beginning to flow in the small divine realm, they were choked by this "dirty" magic power for a moment.

"How can the magic in this world be... so filthy?" Hespera's face turned pale. She felt like a fish that suddenly entered the sewer, and was contaminated by this filthy magic.

This was not like before. Since the Rock of Eternity was isolated from the real world, the magic within it was naturally kept clean. However, when Hespera faced the magic of the human world, she was not as happy as before.

Diana found her baffling and simply urged her to lead the way.

Three days later, Diana initially subdued the beast soldiers here. Although these soldiers who looked like big-headed gorillas were not smart enough and could not speak, they were obedient and strong. With a little training, they could become good combat effectiveness.

Diana planned to use these beast soldiers as cannon fodder to fill the shortage of Amazon troops.

In the past few days, Cersei has also rearranged the new altar, and in order to enhance the effect of the resurrection ceremony, she deliberately set up the altar in the square where the Tree of Life is located.

The roots of this big tree are connected to the new divine realm, and setting up an altar here can bring people closer to the gods.

"The altar has been set up. Now we just need to place the sacrifices and then we can proceed with the resurrection ceremony." Cersei found Dayne and Diana.

Dane has been getting familiar with his divine body these days. Strictly speaking, he is less than a month old and has not yet fully tapped the potential of this body.

For this reason, he directly rejected all the tasks that Diana wanted to give him. Diana was very angry and felt that Dane was out of control at all, but she had no choice but to be angry. She fought with Dane, but was no match at all.

As a world-destroying weapon created by the gods, Dane's divine body is ridiculously strong. His defense, which cannot be cut by the sword of the god of fire, has already made him absolutely invincible.

After all, not even the Kryptonians dared to stand up to a sword that was said to be able to cut atoms.

During the battle between the two, Dane didn't even use any magic or energy radiation. He easily defeated Diana with his indestructible body and fighting skills.

From that time on, no matter how dissatisfied Diana was with Dane, she could only hold back her dissatisfaction, so much so that even the queen had to handle chores herself.

Fortunately, in name, Dane still recognized Diana as the lord, which brought Diana a little comfort.

She couldn't possibly complain to her father, could she? It was embarrassing enough that she couldn't control her weapons, and complaining to her parents would only be more embarrassing. Diana, with her strong self-esteem, would never do such a thing.

But what Diana didn't know was that, unlike them, Dane's target had never been Atlantis or humans. He had set his sights on the gods who were controlling everything behind the scenes.

With the scepter in hand, he will be able to seize the power of the gods once they appear.

Although he didn't know what the gods were planning, he couldn't escape the goal of wanting to control the world.

If Earth must have a god to rule the world, Dane felt that this god could only be himself, Zeus? Better to just stay in the new realm of the gods, drinking, having fun, and playing with women!

Diana brought a team of beast soldiers to the altar in front of the Tree of Life. This altar looked much larger than the one on New Paradise Island.

Not sure about the effectiveness.

"You, commit suicide." Diana ordered a beast soldier coldly.

The beast soldier was simple-minded and absolutely loyal. After receiving Diana's order, he immediately stepped forward, cut his neck with a knife, and let the blood splatter on the altar.

Cersei closed her eyes and entered a state of clairvoyance, chanting a spell. A moment later, the rocks on the ground gathered together and gradually piled up into a human figure, which gradually turned into flesh and blood. An armored Amazon warrior was resurrected.

She knelt on one knee in front of Diana: "Queen Diana!"

Diana almost shed tears. This is the attitude that subjects should have when facing the monarch!

Chapter 537 It’s scary to think about it carefully

"You're not planning to use all the beast soldiers to resurrect those people, are you?" Cersei asked doubtfully.

"Of course not, I plan to plunder people from the human world." Diana said coldly.

At this time, Dane expressed a different opinion: "No."

Diana immediately turned her head and stared at her, her eyes clearly sending out the signal of "I have tolerated you for a long time", but Dane ignored it.

"You are killing indiscriminately by doing this. I remember that Amazons never attack the weak."

"I can catch those soldiers."

"Isn't that the same? Those soldiers are no match for you."

“They owe us this!”

"I think the common people of Great Britain have something to say."

Although the Amazons on New Paradise Island were wiped out by humans, in the final analysis, if the Amazons had not occupied human land and killed all the men there, humans might not have used dirty bombs to attack.

Compared to the irresponsible United States governments that Dane had experienced in the past, Dane felt that they in this world had been very restrained, and they had actually waited until now to use nuclear weapons against the Amazons.

Diana's dissatisfaction was about to reach its limit: "Whose side are you on?"

Circe and the newly resurrected Amazons hid aside and dared not speak.

Having said that, Dane felt it was time to come clean, so he bluntly stated, "I think what you're doing is wrong. You shouldn't have dragged humanity into this war in the first place. Your only enemies are the Atlanteans, so why are you provoking them? They haven't provoked you at all, have they?"

Even though the woman in front of him is not Dane's Diana, their growth trajectories should be similar. Diana, who has received orthodox Amazon 077 education, should not be a person with great love, nor should she be the person who cannot distinguish between good and evil and kills innocent people.

To be honest, Dane was a little disappointed in her.

Although Dane doesn't care about the United States, he only hates a few trash and pests among humans. He always has a certain good impression of the entire human group because he comes from them.

Diana was silent. In the eyes of Circe and the Amazon warriors, her silence seemed as long as a century. They all felt that Diana was like a volcano, as if it would erupt at any time.

"Do you have the ability to stop the bomb before?" Diana suddenly asked.

Dane looked at her calmly and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I watched it explode."

"Why?" At this time, Diana calmed down.

"This war was unfair from the beginning. The human casualties were real, and they had no way of being resurrected like the Amazons.

I don't know what you think of human life. It's not something you can trample on casually. If you can't recognize its value, then I think you should experience it yourself and be in awe of death.

"Then why did you save me? Wouldn't it be better to just let me die on that island?"

"If you die, you will only ascend to the divine realm under the guidance of the gods, or be resurrected by them through other means.

Besides, if you die, how can you feel the pain of losing your relatives and friends?"

"I know! I've felt it!" Diana roared at him.

How could he say that? She had already lost Hippolyta.

In response, Dane said softly, "If that's the case, why do you inflict this pain on people you don't even know? Do you think those innocent people you killed have no family?"

Because Amazons and Atlanteans find it difficult to die, they have become numb to death itself. Dane feels that these people are just playing a real-life game, while humans are treated as NPCs and can be sacrificed at will.

He didn't like this. Possessing the equation of life, he realized the value of life. Even if they were to die, those people should not lose in such a meaningless way.

Since these "players" don't take human life seriously, Dane simply lets them experience death collectively, but he didn't expect Diana to still be unrepentant and continue to treat humans as consumables, attempting to capture them as sacrifices.

What’s the difference between this and the evil god?

"Do you really have to stop me?" Diana said with a gloomy face.

The scepter appeared in Dane's hand again, and the magical light flickering in the crystal illuminated Diana's beautiful face, but unfortunately her gloomy expression destroyed this beauty.

"Your Majesty, I hope you know that the barrier of this place, which I can open, can naturally be closed again."

Diana clenched her fists, and Circe was also surprised. She didn't want to be locked up in a ghost place without magic, because she wouldn't even be able to maintain her immortality, and would end up becoming as old as Hespera and Calypso. This was absolutely not allowed!

So she immediately showed her loyalty to Dane in a servile manner: "Dane, I'm on your side!" she said nervously.

But unfortunately, Dane ignored her and just stared at Diana, waiting for her reply.

You know, the scepter can take away divine power. Depending on the situation, the only divine power left in Diana may not be hers in the next second.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment. Just when Dane thought she was still stubborn and was about to "kill her own relatives for the greater good," he finally heard a tired voice: "If we don't use humans, then what should we use as sacrifices? I remind you, ordinary animals cannot serve as sacrifices. Their souls are not of sufficient quality."

Although she didn't say it explicitly, everyone who knew Diana knew that her behavior was a sign of weakness.

The newly resurrected female warrior was very surprised. Since Hippolyta's death and Diana's ascension to the throne, she had never seen the queen compromise with anyone.

Dane nodded with satisfaction. He didn't know which god had influenced Diana, which made it difficult to completely correct her. However, as long as there was a possibility of turning things around, it was good. He didn't mind being a little patient with her.

The scepter disappeared from Dane's hand. Dane smiled at her and said, "Actually, I already had a plan for this problem. I found a race that is very suitable to serve as a sacrifice."

"Which one? You don't mean the Atlanteans?" Diana frowned. Although she hated these underwater people very much, the Amazons and the beast soldiers could not fight in the water. Did she and Dane have to go into the water and catch them directly?

When will we catch him?

The underwater strength of the Undersea Kingdom should not be underestimated. The last time she went into the water in anger, she only took out Mera and failed to expand the victory. The underwater environment is very oppressive for a terrestrial creature like her.

Unless…Diana looked at Dane thoughtfully.

Dane seemed to see what she was thinking and was speechless: "What are you thinking? I can't possibly help you do something like a human trafficker."

"The sacrifice I'm talking about isn't from Atlantis, but it is indeed from one of the underwater kingdoms. I wonder if you've heard of the Trench Kingdom?"

"The Trench Kingdom!" Circe said in surprise. As a witch who had lived for a very long time, she knew most of the secret history of this world, including the underwater kingdom.

The Trench Kingdom is the only one among all the underwater kingdoms where the entire clan's intelligence has degenerated and eventually turned into sea monsters. It is said that only the royal family members can still retain basic human intelligence, and the rest of the citizens are all irrational monsters.

But these monsters are different from real beasts. After all, their origin is human, so the quality of their souls is comparable to that of humans, enough to serve as sacrifices to resurrect the Amazons.

So, these monsters are indeed enough to serve as sacrifices, Circe thought. Besides, the number of the Trench Clan is so huge that there will definitely be enough.

Since Dane offered a solution, Diana calmed down for the time being. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, she didn't want to become enemies with the other party.

Amazon has declined to such an extent that it cannot afford to lose any more support.

"I hope this situation will never happen again today." As a queen, Diana could not tolerate anyone being insubordinate to her.

In response, Dane simply said perfunctorily: "My approach depends on your situation, Your Majesty."

The implication is that you will dare to do it again next time.

Diana couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Cersei hurried forward to persuade them to stop. She was afraid that Dane would really close this place.

So she took Diana away from Dane and said nice things to her in private.

Poor thousand-year-old witch, when has she ever done such a job? She actually has to act as a lobbyist for two juniors. It's really enough.

After finally persuading Diana, Cersei came back and saw that Dain was acting as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't know that he had just threatened the monarch he was supposed to be loyal to.

She was a little angry, but soon she sighed helplessly. Dane's confidence came from his strength, and to be honest, if he hadn't found this place, she and Diana might have been displaced by now.

As a mature witch, she knew how to grasp the key points.
