One wave is done, three waves remain.
Diana stopped and turned around, about to charge again, but then paused in surprise.
At a glance, all the skeletons in the other three directions had disintegrated, their parts scattered all over the ground. The red and silver metal monster stood there with its arms crossed, watching.
Judging from their posture, it seemed they had been waiting for her for quite some time.
Diana was slightly surprised.
She is blessed with superhuman strength, and to this day, there are few who can rival her in speed.
How could he be so fast?
Just as she was stunned, another loud crash came from behind her. Diana turned around and saw that the museum wall had been smashed open by a strange force, and a stone sculpture of armor that should have been an exhibit had come to life. The towering helmet, with its intricately decorated reliefs, looked like a glaring beast, wielding a giant sword and roaring as it charged towards Diana!
Diana was startled, but not afraid at all; instead, her fighting spirit surged. She turned around, sword in hand, her eyes sharp, and charged head-on at the massive stone sculpture churning with magical energy.
Before she could even take a step, a streak of azure light swept past her head. The stone sculpture's chest was pierced through with a deafening roar, and for a moment, azure lightning crackled within the enormous hole. Seconds later, the massive sculpture exploded, sending countless fragments flying everywhere.
Diana, who was in a charging stance, abruptly stopped in her tracks, sword in hand.
She slowly turned her head to look at the blue light spots and the red-silver body that was dissipating from her hands.
The strange look in his eyes seemed to say something.
You're moving way too fast!

Chapter 112: Aren't the dolphins a bit too outrageous?
"coffee?"
Back in his own coffee shop, Shen You sat down opposite Diana and handed her the coffee menu along the table.
“No, thank you,” Diana shook her head. “I don’t really like coffee. I prefer beer.”
"Ok."
Shen You took back the menu and shrugged.
"What a pity. I was hoping you could try our 'Song of Ice and Fire'."
"A Song of Ice and Fire?" This name piqued Diana's interest.
"Oh, this week's new product is an ice cream coffee. It's been receiving rave reviews so far."
Diana's eyes seemed to light up when she heard the word "ice cream".
“Wait a minute,” she pulled the menu back from Shen You’s hand, “I’ve been thinking, coffee helps a soldier improve his alertness and focus, so I’ll have a cup.”
Shen You's expression was a half-smile: "How about a classic Americano?"
“No, I mean that ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’.” Diana said seriously, “Add more ice cream.”
"But I don't think ice cream is good for soldiers. It will damage their muscles."
“Only mortals can do that,” Diana said with pride.
Shen You thought to himself that the fat otaku Thor from the neighboring M family might have a different opinion, but it didn't matter.
The old wizard behind the counter smirked: "What an dishonest demigod. Is this what you modern people call 'tsundere'?"
Kara, who was also behind the counter, looked at the old man with a look that seemed to say, "That makes sense, but you don't seem to have the right to say that."
"Meow~"
Even Stryker, the Kryptonian cat who was lying on the side licking milk, took time out of his busy schedule to express his agreement.
"That lady is so cool." Kara leaned on the counter, tilting her head. "But I thought Karl was already being quite perfunctory with just glasses as a disguise, she actually skipped the glasses altogether. Seriously, doesn't anyone recognize her?"
"The Amazons are proud of their extraordinary abilities and their innate divine power. They look down on all living things in the world and their nature is to express themselves rather than restrain or hide them."
The old wizard said.
“In this respect, she is the complete opposite of your cousin who grew up among humans.”
“He’s my cousin,” Kara corrected.
In fact, Shen You wasn't as concerned about concealing his identity as superheroes. Admittedly, revealing his alien identity would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, but it didn't bother Shen You.
Ultimately, his true form is actually Ultraman; the identity of "Shen You" is merely a disguise for him. So what if he's exposed? He can simply change his location, change his face, and become a completely new character.
So when he can avoid showing his face in public, he wears a disguise. But if the disguise is accidentally revealed, it doesn't really matter.
Diana's mindset was actually similar to his. She naturally disliked pretense, and having lived in the human world for a century without aging, moving, changing locations, and altering her appearance were commonplace for her. She also didn't care about her identity like Superman did.
"So, your mother told you I needed help?" Diana asked.
"That's it."
“I don’t think so,” Diana said calmly but confidently. “I can handle my own problems.”
"I think so too. But your mother said this situation is special, involving your background. She said you..."
“Actually, I wasn’t made of clay. My father is Zeus, I know that,” Diana said calmly.
"Huh, you already knew?"
The classic origin story of Wonder Woman. Queen Hippolyta implored the gods to grant her a child. Zeus, the father of the gods and the world's number one pile driver, personally intervened, saying, "Queen, I have heard your prayer. Given your piety, the Father has decided to grant your request. First, you should lie down obediently."
And so, Diana came into being.
“Yes. I met Ares, the God of War, not long after I came to the mortal world, and he told me the truth,” Diana said calmly. “That was a long time ago.”
"Well, that's roughly how it is," Shen You said. "And that's what led to the situation you're facing now."
“Hera, I know she wants to kill me.”
As Diana spoke, she pulled a stack of documents from her handbag.
"what is this?"
Shen You took the document and opened it. The first page he saw was the case file of a missing person case.
“Hera’s victims,” Diana said. “I’ve been traveling around for some time, gathering intelligence on them. These people were all killed by Hera or her men.”
Shen You flipped through several pages and found that the following pages contained case files of murders and disappearances from various places, all of which were unsolved cases that the criminal investigation system could not crack.
"Are they all Zeus's offspring?"
Shen You glanced at the thickness of the documents. Good heavens, no wonder he's Olympus's number one stallion; he's incredibly prolific!
“I categorized them. The first half is Zeus’s lovers, and the second half is his offspring,” Diana said.
Shen You opened the first half. The first few pages seemed normal, featuring mostly young and pretty girls. But when he turned to the seventh page, he couldn't help but pause in surprise.
Why is there a man here?
Well, considering that the subject of this discussion is Zeus, it doesn't seem so strange that there are men among them.
It's safe to say that he truly lives up to his reputation as the number one pile driver on Olympus; even his physiognomy follows his facial features. As long as someone is good-looking, gender can be a secondary consideration.
If Zeus were to encounter someone handsome enough, he might even consider changing his gender.
Having accepted this premise, Shen You tried his best to appear calm and collected, continuing to turn the pages. However, he couldn't hold back his composure after only two pages.
"Dolphins? Seriously?" Shen You looked up blankly.
Diana wore an awkward yet polite wry smile.
"Uh, forget it, I don't want to know anymore."
Shen You slammed the thick folder shut.
Judging by the thickness and quantity, Hera must have put in a lot of effort. Zeus charged ahead firing cannons, while Hera chased after them, capturing people all over the world.
Here's a joke: Hera is the goddess who protects families and marriages.
“I’m not worried about Hera herself; there’s nothing I can’t handle,” Diana said in a deep voice. “But during this time, I’ve discovered something else, something more worthy of attention.”
"what?"
“A prophecy,” Diana said. “I don’t know the specifics yet; I only know that such a prophecy exists. But it’s said that the Olympian gods have been thrown into a state of panic by that prophecy.”
The prophecy seems to mention someone who will die, and the fall of a god. There are indications that it may be related to Zeus and his descendants.
"Yes, that area has indeed shrunk considerably." Shen You nodded.
It probably only encompasses most of Olympus and an unknown number of demigods across the entire Earth.
"Tonight I've arranged to meet a friend from Olympus, perhaps the only one among the gods I trust. He might be able to tell me more."
Interested in coming together?
Chapter 113 Olympus
Mount Etna, inside.
The room was a warm, reddish space, filled with intense heat. A pool of lava surrounded the room, its surface churning with fiery flames that emitted intense light and heat. The air was so hot that simply approaching it would suffocate any mortal.
As Shen You walked among the furnaces, he scanned the surrounding environment with his armor.
It wasn't just simple high temperatures. Magical fluctuations permeated the room; the massive furnace roared, and the metal materials on the workbenches and racks along the way were imbued with magical aura. On the surface, it resembled an ancient, traditional forge, but even the most unassuming blocks of metal were not ordinary materials from the mortal realm.
"Your friend is a weapons fanatic," Shen You said as he scanned the device.
“His name is Hephaestus,” Diana said.
"The god of fire of Olympus?"
Shen You naturally recognized the name. The story of Vulcan, placed in Olympus, would be considered a classic tale of a loser's rise to power. As the son of Hera, the queen of the gods, and Zeus, the king of the gods, he was remarkably ugly. Hera was greatly shocked by her son's ugliness, rejected him, and casually threw him off a cliff.
Knowing from a young age that he was a despised loser among the gods, Hephaestus worked desperately and, with his extraordinary talent, fought his way back to Olympus. He not only won the position of the twelve Olympian gods but also married Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Olympus.
A classic underdog's rise to power, starting from being abandoned by his own mother, he becomes one of the twelve main gods, climbs to the pinnacle of divine life, and marries a beautiful and wealthy woman.
“He is also the god of forging, the foremost craftsman of Olympus, and a master of weapons,” Diana said. “He even forged Zeus’s lightning bolt, Apollo’s golden chariot, and Athena’s shield. Oh, but now Athena’s relationship with him is very strained.”
"why?"
"Athena wanted Hephaestus to forge armor for her, and he offered to pay her with ecstatic pleasure. When Athena refused, he forced himself on her."
