I became light in American comics

“Great craftsmanship, Hephaestus. Thank you.”

At that moment, Diana also poked her head out of the plane. At least, her posture made it look like she was poking her head out, as if she were lying on the cockpit windshield.

There's only one question.

“Any questions, my princess,” Hephaestus smiled.

“The thing is, this plane is completely invisible except for me; I can’t even see myself,” Diana said, looking somewhat embarrassed. “How am I supposed to see the instrument panel?”

".ah?"

Hephaestus's smile froze.

"Dashboard?"

Shen You: "."

It seems this Olympian craftsman possesses skill, but sometimes his design thinking isn't very clear, resulting in equipment that sometimes appears somewhat ambiguous.

"You know what? Let's forget about it. We came here for something else."

Diana jumped off the plane and shoved Hephaestus aside.

"I remember you said you had some problems."

Hephaestus shook his dwarf-like head.

"Then ask, Diana. What do you want to know?"

“It’s about the prophecy,” Diana said in a deep voice. “You should know about the recent rumors on Olympus. Zeus’s offspring, and the fall of a god. I know something has been causing panic throughout Olympus lately, I just need to know what it is.”

"Ah, this."

Hephaestus scratched his head.

"Well, I can't say I don't know anything about this, but I'm really not very clear about it either. Or I think everyone is just very scared, but nobody really understands what's going on."

“Tell me what you know,” Diana said.

“Well, if we’re talking about the cause, it should be Zeus, the king of the gods,” Hephaestus said.

“I’ve heard. Nobody’s seen him for a while.” Diana nodded. “But that’s not surprising, is it? Zeus is elusive, always indulging in his pleasures.”

"Yes, that should be the case. But Apollo was the first to say that Zeus was no longer there. No, that's not accurate. In Apollo's own words, he consulted the prophet, and according to the prophet, Zeus never existed at all."

Diana frowned. "That sounds rather strange. Perhaps he was murdered?"

“Is that so? But that’s not all,” Hephaestus said. “Apollo believed that the person who killed Zeus—assuming Zeus was indeed killed—might still have Zeus’s blood flowing through his veins.”

Diana hesitated for a moment.

"That area is really quite 'small'."

"Yes, we all know that Zeus's bloodline is nothing special, but there aren't many people with this ability."

“That’s true,” Diana asked, “but how does this prophecy involve other gods? What are they afraid of?”

"Ah, that's another story. They believe that Zeus's death was just the beginning, the start of a new prophecy that would sweep across all of Olympus, from which no god could escape."

Demeter said this was not a prophecy, but destiny. "We will all die, and we will die at the hands of a blood relative."

"A son of Zeus?" Diana exclaimed, suddenly realizing. "So this is the prophecy. A son of Zeus will kill all the gods, and Olympus will be destroyed."

"Yes, and with Zeus gone, the position of King of the Gods is vacant, and Heaven will inevitably fall into chaos. Someone has to sit in that position. And there are quite a few people who are eyeing that seat."

As far as I know, Apollo seemed quite interested.

“Aren’t you nervous about this?” Diana asked.

"Afraid of death? Of course. The more immortal a guy is, the more nervous he gets when he hears that he might die. But even if you're afraid, it's useless. If it's predetermined, then what's meant to happen will happen."

Who knows? The killer could be anyone. Maybe Apollo, maybe Ares—many people think it could be Ares; he looks like a suspect.

It is even possible that…

He glanced at Diana, then suddenly stopped talking.

Diana paused for a moment, then realized what was happening.

You mean me?

Mount Olympus, the Temple of Hera.

“You look very sad, Mother.”

The speaker was a short-haired woman with pale skin, barefoot, sitting languidly on an ornately decorated windowsill.

That is the goddess of discord on Mount Olympus in mythology.

Queen Hera sat on her throne, swirling a golden goblet in her hand, and gave her a cold glance.

"Where you are, there will always be sorrow, won't there, child?"

“Please don’t say that, Mother. I just felt you might need some care.”

"Ha!" Hera said angrily. "Love? You have no idea what I need."

The Goddess of Conflict smiled: "I know. You think you're different from others, that you're the Queen of Heaven, unlike those who go out and have fun with your father."

“Hippocrat,” Hera said coldly, “she deceived me, in the most abhorrent way. And that Amazon, that bastard, with my husband's blood flowing in her veins, squanders the power of the gods. Mortals see her as a miracle, calling her ‘Wonder Woman.’”

"Ha, it's all for that adorable little sister," the Goddess of Strife laughed. "But she's no pushover. No offense, Mother, but she's an Amazon, and a demigod at that."

“I won’t be entangled with her for long,” Hera said coldly. “I’ve already put up a high bounty. This time, she’ll be facing a completely different opponent than before.”

"Ok?"

When the goddess of conflict heard that there was something fun to be had, her eyes widened immediately.

"Really? Why didn't you do this before?"

Hera picked up her glass and took a small sip.

"I signed a deal, at a considerable cost," the diva said with a smirk. "That Amazon will have absolutely no chance."

Chapter 117 Flight Speed ​​Measurement

After leaving Hephaestus's forge, Diana took her leave.

The prophecy concerned her greatly. A catastrophe that swept across Olympus, the fall of the gods, would undoubtedly bring chaos and even more unpredictable dangers to the entire world.

Zeus's disappearance is the best clue at present. Diana feels that if Zeus was indeed murdered, she is more inclined to believe that Ares, the god of war, was responsible.

Undeniably, this may involve some degree of Diana's prejudice against Ares himself. After all, Ares is the villain in the Greek pantheon who has clashed with Wonder Woman the most, and since Diana left the Amazon and came to the human world, there have been several incidents where Ares was found to be behind the scenes.

Furthermore, there were not many gods among Zeus's offspring who had the opportunity to kill Zeus, and Ares was one of the few gods who possessed both the ability and the motive.

However, it seems that it has been quite some years since Diana last saw Ares, and now the only clues she can rely on are rumors. This investigation will likely take a lot of effort and require her to travel around the world.

Of course, Diana had long since gotten used to this kind of life over the years.

Shen You exchanged contact information with her, and then returned to the coffee shop to continue with his own business.

A day later, in the wilderness, in the desolate mountains.

Kara-Zo-El, dressed in her family's uniform, spread her arms wide. The shimmering Kryptonian bodysuit accentuated her well-developed curves, and the "S" logo on her red cape glittered with her movements, while her long golden hair flowed like waves.

She vanished in a blur, soaring into the sky, the white clouds in the azure sky spreading out around her like soft cotton candy. She took off and landed among the clouds, like a joyful swimming fish.

Her red and blue figure flashed across the sky like lightning, the endless mountains rushing past her. Her elegant movements were so fast and unrestrained that she was practically invisible to the naked eye.

She swept over the mountains and soared into the sea. Waves exploded beneath her, slicing through the air in white trails as she moved. Her supersonic form whistled through the air, leaving even the world's fastest fighter jets in its dust.

"You've made rapid progress."

At the speed camera at the foot of the mountain, the old wizard stroked his beard, nodded slightly, and smiled with his eyes narrowed.

She had a smile similar to that of an old man playing chess in the community, a smile that seemed to say, "She's truly my granddaughter."

"Mach 17. That's really fast progress." Shen You looked at the speed measuring instrument and pondered for a moment.

Last month, when the speed was measured, Kara's maximum flight speed could only reach Mach 8, but now it has more than doubled.

As expected of Kryptonians, their leveling speed is astonishing even when they're lying down and not moving.

Kara had just completed a loop along the planned route and was passing over the speed camera again. As she flew by, she smiled down and waved in this direction.

At her height and speed of Mach 17, her waving gesture did look somewhat odd. But she knew that most people couldn't see it, while Shen You could definitely see it clearly.

However, she was clearly getting carried away, waving her hand and looking down at Shen You on the ground. By the time she realized she was already hurtling towards a mountain at high speed, it was too late.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

The novice Kryptonian clearly still needs to work on the precision of his flight control. When the little girl turned around and saw the mountain peak so close at hand, she was terrified; her first reaction was to quickly cover her eyes with her small hands.

boom! ! !

Kara crashed headfirst into the mountain.

The thunderous impact shook the valley. The poor mountain was pierced through by the Kryptonians' steel and iron bodies, and countless boulders rolled down like unleashed beasts, tearing and collapsing like a torrential rain, shattering the canyon.

Fortunately, Shen You had anticipated this possibility; the area around the testing site was completely deserted for miles around. It was a desolate wilderness, without even a bird in sight, so she could do whatever she wanted.

Most of the mountain collapsed, and smoke filled the canyon.

"What an incredible race," the old wizard remarked, watching the earth-shattering spectacle. "It's almost reminiscent of the protection of the six gods."

Shen You glanced at him, wondering if it was possible that his so-called "six divine powers" were actually a pirated version of what Kryptonians possessed.

Shazam was originally designed to imitate Superman. However, his former company was sued by DC for copyright infringement and lost the case. Later, DC simply acquired the company and its characters and incorporated them into the DC Universe, thus creating this magical version of Superman in the DC Universe.

“This is far from the limit,” Shen You said. “Her abilities are still in the initial stage of awakening, and they will become much stronger in the future.”

After a pause, Shen You swiped open the interface to view the other ability data of Kara's routine test today.

He couldn't help but mutter, "Kryptonians are truly a monstrous race."

The old wizard glanced at him from behind, hesitated, and ultimately remained silent.

But the old man thought to himself, "You're being modest. In terms of sheer monster-like qualities, you're probably just as good."

The two chatted casually when suddenly the pile of rocks in the valley exploded with a loud bang. A delicate, fair hand emerged, and a beautiful girl, covered in dust and dirt, crawled out of the rubble, coughing violently twice.

"I'm fine, cough cough, I'm perfectly fine. You guys can keep chatting there, I don't need any help at all. cough cough."
