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

Hespera ignored her smugness. She walked forward and took a closer look at Shazam, who, though expressionless, still had a certain naiveté. She wondered, "Why would that wizard choose this person as his heir?"

She had just observed carefully and found that this Shazam didn't know how to fight at all. He just relied on his own abilities to attack randomly.

Moreover, the opponent obviously lacked experience in dealing with enemies of Radon's size. Zeus's thunder was not ineffective against Radon, but Shazam did not concentrate its power when using it.

"The Father's power is really wasted on him." Hespera was very dissatisfied. "Anxi, go and see if there is a wizard's scepter!"

The wizard's scepter is the only magical weapon that can quickly seize divine power, and can speed up the recovery of divine power for the three of them.

Anxia did as she was told, and with a slight activation of the axial force, she understood the entire structure of the Eternal Rock.

Although her abilities do not have much direct effect on combat, they are very versatile in other areas.

However, Anthea searched the entire Rock of Eternity but could not find the scepter. This was of course because the scepter had been put away by Dane long ago.

But he didn't take everything, so Anthea found another very important thing.

Under the influence of the axis force, Anxia took the thing in her hand. It was the last golden apple in the world and also the seed of the Tree of Life.

When Calypso saw it, she immediately snatched it away: "Golden Apple!"

Her eyes gleamed, "As long as I eat this, my divine power will be restored to its peak immediately."

"Idiot!" Before Calypso could continue, Hespera waved her hand and the golden apple flew into her hand.

She looked at Calypso as if she were a fool. "This is the seed of the Tree of Life! You actually want to eat it? What's wrong with you?"

When Calypso heard her sister's rude rebuke, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart.

Bitch, you've regained your strength and youth, but I'm still old!

But she didn't dare say this. Even though she easily subdued Shazam, she and Radon combined might not be able to defeat Hespera. The opponent's natural power was too powerful.

When Ladon was resurrected, he used a branch of the Tree of Life, so his dragon body was of wood attribute, which was exactly what Hespera countered. Moreover, she was very familiar with Calypso's abilities and knew how to restrain her abilities.

This made Calypso completely afraid to resist her, but she still dared to express her dissatisfaction, after all, they were sisters.

"So what do you want to do with it?"

Hespera stroked the golden apple with her palm, a playful expression on her face.

"As long as the golden apples are nourished by the soil, they will soon grow into a new tree of life. The one on Mount Atlas has been occupied by the Amazons. Why don't we cultivate a tree of life of our own?"

Chapter 576 Planting Trees

The Tree of Life is said to be the manifestation of the Tree of Life in Kabbalah.

It carries the path to God, or the way God created everything out of nothing.

As an ancient goddess, Hespera once heard her father God mention that the Tree of Life contained a considerable number of life equations that could directly create intelligent beasts.

In fact, the Tree of Life has already appeared once in the human world. The mythical creatures that the Amazon once created on the New Paradise Island were hatched from the Tree of Life.

In order to help the Amazons win the war, Zeus gave Diana the golden apple that the three goddesses Athena, Hera and Aphrodite had fought over.

Diana once told Dane about this, and he was a little puzzled: "I remember in mythology, the golden apple was eventually taken away by Aphrodite. Is she on the same side with you now?"

Diana shook her head. She was certain of this: "No, the golden apple was given to me by Hera, not Aphrodite."

Dane was a little surprised to hear this. He thought about it carefully and suddenly an idea came to his mind. Could it be that after that game, Hera used her power to force Aphrodite to give her the golden apple?

He had no doubt that the jealous Hera could do such a thing. After all, she was the Queen of Heaven, a goddess that even Zeus was afraid of. If she really wanted to lose face, how could Aphrodite dare to disobey?

Besides, Hera seemed to be very displeased with Aphrodite. As the patron saint of marriage, Hera was also a defender of monogamy. She despised Aphrodite, a dissolute goddess who slept with all the people in Olympus, so it was very likely that she had robbed the golden apple.

However, the Tree of Life on New Paradise Island is not complete, having lost a great deal of its divinity in the process of crossing over, so that most of the mythical creatures it hatched only have form but not spirit, otherwise they would not be killed so easily.

"There's something you might not know. When you were hatched, the cocoon you used was actually made from the bark of the Tree of Life."

As the witch closest to God, Circe was the main operator in hatching divine weapons at that time.

Although the Tree of Life at that time lost a lot of divinity due to the cross-border reasons, the quality of the remaining divinity was still considerable when it was concentrated.

So with the blessing of the gods, Circe peeled off the bark of the Tree of Life and made it into a cocoon. After the cocoon was completed, its internal space was isolated from the world and connected to the realm of the gods.

Therefore, the power of the gods can be directly injected into the cocoon, becoming a breeding ground for Dane to develop his divine body.

This was the first time Dane heard of this. When he was developing in the cocoon, his consciousness had not yet been reborn, so he was not very clear about it.

After losing its bark, the Tree of Life died, so after Dane was born, no new monsters were born on New Paradise Island.

In the nuclear explosion not long ago, the remaining part of the Tree of Life was completely destroyed by the aftermath of the explosion and turned into nothingness.

At that time, Dane really didn't think there was this link. He only took the scepter and forgot to take the golden apple hidden in the vault.

But he was also a little curious now. The three goddesses who got the golden apple were no longer just a small organization. They were fully capable of raising an army of monsters, and they had more room to operate.

Hespera was also a man of action. Seeing that she couldn't find the scepter, she made a quick decision and left the Eternal Rock and headed for the human world.

There are many portals to other worlds in the Rock of Eternity, many of which lead to Earth.

"Do you still want to follow them?"

"Before that, let's resurrect the sacrificed Amazons."

"Hmph! It's a good thing you still remember this." Speaking of this, the boss Diana was unhappy. Although they had discussed this matter in advance, Diana felt very uncomfortable watching her own people being slaughtered.

"I'm a fighter, not a conspirator!" she emphasized.

Dane just looked at her quietly: "But you never won the war with Aquaman, did you? You are obviously stronger than him."

Diana couldn't refute this point. Unlike other Amazons, Diana liked to fight alone. This was actually a very bad habit. Because of her personal example, other Amazons also began to get used to fighting alone, and few of them were good at fighting in unity.

So she just turned her head away in anger, not wanting to talk to Dane anymore.

Circe looked from Diana to Dane as if she had discovered something interesting.

Thinking of what happened not long ago, a strange smile appeared on her face.

This expression was caught by Diana, and her fist became itchy again.

On earth, Philadelphia.

Ladon carried the three goddesses and soared into the sky from a house. It was broad daylight at that time, and countless pedestrians on the street saw the giant dragon flying in the sky, which startled countless people and made them scream.

"That's... a dragon?"

Everyone who saw Ladong was shocked. A dragon! A living one!

Ladon and the three goddesses had no idea what it meant to be low-key. They just hovered high in the sky and had not come to the human world for thousands of years. The world had already changed drastically.

Hespera felt unhappy when she saw a group of humans on the ground, holding strange cube boxes and pointing at them.

"After thousands of years, have humans no longer learned how to respect the gods?"

Anthea hesitated to speak, wanting to say something like times have changed, but Hespera's prestige was so great that she didn't dare to say it in the end.

"Ladon, find a piece of land!"

The city is full of reinforced concrete roads, which are not suitable for planting trees of life.

Ladon flew over the entire sky of Philadelphia and finally landed on a large sports field.

It's where rugby league matches are held daily, and the soft grass looks like it would be a good place for planting.

But Hespera was somewhat dissatisfied when she landed, because she felt that the grass was very shallow and the soil underneath was still poor sand. Not to mention growing the Tree of Life, even planting potatoes was not feasible.

But there is no better choice now. Unless they are willing to go to the suburbs, the countryside or the mountains, it is not easy to find a place that can support a giant tree as big as the Tree of Life.

"Just make do with it." Hespera could only sigh. She could only make up for it with her own natural power.

Calypso couldn't wait to "smash" the golden apple into the grass. At the same time, Hespera used the power of nature to turn the ground under the lawn into truly fertile soil.

"Shazam, it's your turn." Calypso ordered.

The Spark of God is most effective when used with Zeus' Thunder.

Shazam walked forward in a daze, and suddenly thunder lingered all over his body, radiating lightning along the place where the golden apple was planted.

A few minutes later, the entire stadium began to shake.

Chapter 577 The Goddesses’ Disagreement

Philadelphia was shaking so violently that everyone could feel it.

"What happened?"

The people who did not know the truth were panicked and did not understand why the authorities did not issue an earthquake warning.

"Look there!" Someone pointed at the stadium in the distance and saw a strange vine stretching towards the sky.

"What the hell is that? Jack's beanstalk?"

No one had ever seen such thick vines, nor had anyone seen a plant that could grow to the sky in seconds.

When the vine reaches a certain height, the tip suddenly spreads out to both sides, like a giant umbrella being opened.

The three sisters standing under the giant tree looked at each other in bewilderment: "This doesn't seem like the Tree of Life we've seen before. Could it have been swapped?"

"No, I would never mistake the golden apple." Hespera disagreed with Calypso.

She looked thoughtful, then suddenly bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground.

Under the influence of natural forces, the concrete ground under the lawn had been transformed into real mud, but only after touching it with her own hands did Hespera clearly understand what had happened.

After kneading the mud ball in her hand for a while, she threw it away and said with disgust, "The material elements of the human world have also been polluted. The Tree of Life 973 must have been affected by the water and soil here. Be prepared. The creatures born from this land are definitely not divine beasts."

As soon as she finished speaking, leaves began to grow on the trunk of the Tree of Life, but they were sparse and looked malnourished.

"It wants more," Calypso said.

"My natural power can only go so far at this point," Hespera emphasized. "After all, the soil here was created by me using magic."

The soil transformed by magic is naturally inferior to the natural one. What's more, the conditions required for a sacred tree like the Tree of Life are often more stringent.

If the three goddesses had no other choice, they would not have planted the Tree of Life in such a "dirty" place like the human world. The malnourished divine plant could only give birth to monsters.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Isn't this exactly our purpose?" Calypso didn't feel any pity about it. She struck the Tree of Life with the power of chaos, and the huge sacred tree began to tremble as if it was suddenly stimulated.

The earth, which had been quiet for a while as the giant tree grew, erupted again with a strong earthquake.

Countless black cocoons rose from the ground and appeared in every corner of Philadelphia.

Diana and Circe, who were hiding in the dark, suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu: "They want to hatch monsters?"

Diana has a lot to say about this: "But the strength of those monsters is very average, and they don't have brains."

She could easily kill a large group of those monsters that were hatched on the New Paradise Island.

"You can't compare yourself to others." Dane was speechless. "Not everyone has your ability to fight a thousand people alone."

When Diana heard the compliment, she involuntarily puffed out her chest, looking like she was saying, "I'm just very sad."

"She looks like she deserves a beating." Cersei said a little brazenly, hiding behind Dayne.

Ever since she had a substantial relationship with Dane, perhaps because she thought she had a backer, she has recently started to respect Diana less.

But in close combat, she saw that the other party was still a little timid.

As expected, Diana immediately gave him a death stare, but her sight was blocked by Dane's broad chest.

"Hmph!" In response, Diana could only snort coldly, convincing herself not to bother with the other party, and then focused her attention on the city.

Normally, it takes some time to hatch a monster, but Calypso was obviously impatient and didn't want to wait, so the monster only stayed in the cocoon for a few minutes before breaking out.

They are also famous mythical creatures in mythology, but the white unicorn turned into a black unicorn and became skinny. Some humanoid monsters were also hatched, but due to malnutrition and forced growth, these monsters were very small, only one-third of the monsters that once existed on New Paradise Island, and each of them was pitch black, and they were not good creatures at first glance.

"They're too impatient," said the witch master, Circe. "The Tree of Life doesn't have enough nutrients to begin with, and with so many monsters to hatch, the newly born seedlings will soon age. Look..."

Just as Cersei said, the Tree of Life has cast tens of thousands of cocoons in Philadelphia. It has just grown branches and leaves, but it has to bear so much energy to hatch monsters. At this time, the huge trunk has traces of time that only a thousand-year-old tree has, and the newly grown bark even shows signs of falling off.

Circe had carefully cared for the Tree of Life on New Paradise Island, and she knew clearly that if she didn't do something, this giant tree that had just grown would die. This would be like draining the pond to catch fish!

But Hespera and Calypso obviously have their own ideas. The monsters hatched by abnormal means have no reason and can only attack everyone indiscriminately.

The Amazons had spent a lot of effort to tame the monsters, but it was not that difficult for Calypso. Her power of chaos could easily deal with these obviously defective creatures.

She controlled the newly emerged monsters to capture humans all over Philadelphia and brought them to the Tree of Life.

Circe and Diana seemed to guess what they were going to do.

The essence of magic is vitality.

Hespera obviously understood this sentence very deeply. The captured humans were wrapped by her with the power of nature and then sank into the earth. Although no one could see where they went, everyone knew that their lives had become part of the Tree of Life.
