The mechanical craze in Marvel

Under these circumstances, I do not recommend helping you defeat the enemy, War Anris. In fact, I need something else in return. After all, defeating War Anris is no easy task, and the journey involves many dangers. For me, it would be difficult to do such a thing without some benefit.

"That makes perfect sense."

The Queen of the Amazons nodded and spoke.

"In that case, please state your demands so that we can determine whether there is a basis for cooperation between us."

Chapter 450

The Amazonian queen acted decisively and without hesitation, directly asking Nolan Locke to state his demands.

Nolan Locke was somewhat surprised by her straightforward manner; he hadn't expected the Amazonian Queen to be so decisive. However, for him, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing, so Nolan Locke replied without hesitation:

"What I desire is all kinds of magical knowledge from the Amazon."

All I can do is help the Amazons fight against Ares, the god of war.

Nolan Locke did not hesitate and laid out all his chips. For him, there was no point in continuing to hide, and there was no benefit in continuing to argue with the Amazon Queen. He had already seen that the Amazon was in a state of flux, so the people on the island were usually quite straightforward.

There was absolutely no ulterior motive. Even though the Amazon Queen must have lived for many years and possessed extremely special abilities, having seen many things, her current way of doing things was very straightforward, at least to Nolan Locke. Under such circumstances, there was no benefit in hiding it, and it might not be able to achieve their goal of cooperation. So Nolan Locke naturally changed his approach, and for him, there was nothing wrong with this approach.

After hearing Nolan Locke's words, the Amazon Queen had not yet spoken, but the other Amazon warriors all showed smiles on their faces.

As they smiled, their eyes also revealed a deep disdain. This was perfectly normal; to them, outsiders were extremely weak. Although Nolan Locke's power did seem stronger to them, most of the people here had never seen Nolan Locke or actually made a move. After all, most of the people from the Construction Road Association who actually made a move weren't here; there were only one or two.

Under these circumstances, they naturally lacked a proper understanding of Nolan Locke's power. All they knew was that he had engaged in a fierce battle with their princess, Wonder Woman Diana, which clearly ended in Diana's victory. Although Nolan Locke's displayed power seemed to be evenly matched with Wonder Woman Diana's.

However, in their view, it was already very clear that Nolan Locke was able to achieve this because Wonder Woman Diana went easy on him. Under these circumstances, they naturally wouldn't care how many tools Nolan Locke had, nor would they think that Nolan Locke was that powerful.

After all, Nolan Locke's strength is extremely powerful, and it's impossible for him to be stronger than the goddess-level heroine Diana and the others. In their minds, the power they possess is absolutely invincible. Given the current situation, they don't think Nolan Locke can play any role in dealing with the real Ares. After all, Ares, the God of War, is a true deity, so his power is extremely strong.

He has orchestrated countless wars throughout Earth's history; such a being is not easily dealt with, yet he claims he can help them. To fight against the warrior Ares—what a ridiculous idea! The Amazon Queen, however, did not directly reject Nolan Locke's words. She was actually silently pondering what Nolan Locke had said, and then looked at the people around her.

Although he didn't know the full extent of Nolan Locke's abilities, he was very familiar with Diana's personality.

A draw is impossible, or rather, almost impossible. Of course, he is extremely competitive right now, so if the people in front of him are not strong, then the outcome of the battle will definitely not be a draw.

Under these circumstances, there is another possibility: the power Nolan Locke displayed must have been felt by Diana, and it was an emphasis that made this possible. Otherwise, there is only one other possibility: that Diana was in love with the man in front of her.

The Amazon Queen looked at Nolan Locke, and then a variety of strange looks appeared in her eyes. Nolan Locke was indeed quite handsome, and he did not seem to have any effeminate qualities at all. Under these circumstances, she thought that Dandana might indeed fall in love with this man.

After all, Diana had never left Tiandao Island. Under such circumstances, she had not seen many men, and those she had seen were mostly filled with extreme fear. Naturally, this made Diana feel that there were no good men in this world. Moreover, the enemy she was about to face was the God of War, Ares.

Ares, the god of war, is also a man, so Diana is inherently extremely disgusted with men. Under such circumstances, if a man who doesn't appear so effeminate but instead exudes a strong masculine aura appears, then Diana might indeed be attracted to him. Moreover, Nolan Locke looks very handsome, which is definitely a killer move for Diana.

However, he only thought about it that way. In his heart, Diana was definitely not someone who would fall in love so easily.

Therefore, in his view, the situation is now very clear. Nolan Locke's power has clearly reached a level that Diana should take seriously. Such power is unique on their Paradise Island. Even the most trusted warrior captain does not possess such power. Although their power is also strong, the gap between them and Diana is extremely large, even for the strongest person.

It was also impossible for him to gain Diana's approval in terms of combat strength. Under these circumstances, he took Nolan Locke's words to heart.

Therefore, he was seriously considering the possibility of cooperating with Diana and Nolan. If he had an accomplice, especially one who understood the outside world, finding Ares and defeating him would undoubtedly be much easier. Of course, there was another problem.

That is, they couldn't be sure if the person before them harbored any ill will towards Paradise Island, or if he was truly as suitable as he claimed. Ares was contradictory; he couldn't be certain of this because he had never left this place, nor had he ever heard of the name Nolanlock, so naturally he had no way of knowing its inner thoughts.

It can be said that once he agrees to many of Lanlock's collaborations, it will inevitably become a gamble. For him, gambling is an extremely bad thing, so he does not want to agree to this process. However, he also has to admit that he is very worried about having Diana fight against the warrior Anris. Anris's power is simply too great. Although Diana has weapons to fight against him, these weapons cannot guarantee that they can kill him.

If he had an accomplice like Nolan Locke, things would be much simpler. Under these circumstances, he thought a lot and ultimately decided to refuse Nolan Locke's cooperation.

Arnolan Locke looked at the Amazon Queen, unaware of her thoughts. As for the Amazon Queen's idea that Diana could not easily pursue love, Arnolan Locke found it utterly ridiculous, considering that Diana had never even seen a man before.

However, after the first man to enter her life appeared—a man who, despite being an air force pilot, was just an ordinary person—everyone was undoubtedly drawn to him. In that situation, and even his eventual decision to debut as a superhero, to say that Diana wasn't love-struck is, in Nolan Locke's opinion, an utterly ridiculous joke. Of course, once Diana overcomes her love-struck tendencies, she will become a fully mature Wonder Woman, and only then can she truly be considered a superheroine.

But at least for Nolan Locke right now, Diana is nowhere near that level.

After a long while, the Amazonian queen slowly spoke:

"I'm sorry, but I can't easily agree to cooperate with you. After all, I don't know the extent of the power you're using. You should know that defeating Ares is no small matter. Not everyone can stand up to Ares, the God of War. In fact, most people can't even stand in front of Ares."

I know that your ability to gain Diana's approval must mean that you possess these special powers, but these powers are still no match for defeating Ares. Therefore, I cannot agree to cooperate with you under these circumstances, since it would not be of much use to us.

Furthermore, cooperating with you involves other risks: we are completely unaware of your existence, you have no idea who you are, and we have no knowledge of your identity. Under these circumstances, cooperating with you would be a gamble.

The Amazon Queen spoke very clearly, without the slightest concealment. For him, concealing this matter was utterly meaningless. Upon hearing his words, Nolan Locke's eyes immediately revealed their shared plan; sure enough, this had happened. The Amazon Queen truly harbored no ill will towards him.

However, he naturally didn't have any goodwill towards them. Nonok had already guessed this situation. He knew that reaching a cooperation agreement with the Amazons wouldn't be an easy thing. However, in his opinion, it wasn't too difficult either. After all, it wasn't just him who wanted to ask Paradise Island for help. The Amazon Queen was also extremely worried about Diana, so they urgently needed a reliable helper.

If Nolan Locke could demonstrate sufficient strength, then the other party would naturally not refuse to cooperate with him. However, the strength that Nolan Locke is currently displaying is not enough to make the other party take him seriously. Under these circumstances, Nolan Locke naturally knows what he should do: he needs to show his more powerful muscles.

Although Nolan Locke has gained Diana's approval, such power is not a trustworthy opponent for the Amazon Queen. Under these circumstances, if Nolan wants to demonstrate other powers, they cannot be his own, since his current power has reached its limit. Although he did manage to contend with Diana for a short time with this power, it was not his true peak power.

Moreover, it is still unknown how much of her power was involved. Therefore, under such circumstances, Nolan Locke could no longer rely on his own strength to fight against the other party. However, this does not mean that he has no other means. He is a technology businessman, although network technology is still in its early stages of development.

Not much time had passed, so Locke Technology didn't possess any particularly powerful technology, but it was enough to give Nolan Locke some resources to fight against strong opponents. Under these circumstances, whatever the other party wanted to do wouldn't be a major problem for him. Therefore, Nolan Locke spoke directly to the Amazon Queen without any hesitation:

"Regarding our cooperation, I think we have reached a consensus on the conditions. At least in this matter, I think we must take Diana's opinion into consideration. Only after taking Diana's opinion into consideration can we make a final decision. However, I still want to say something. Perhaps you think you have a complete understanding of my power, but I think my power is enough to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao. If I didn't have such power, I wouldn't be here."

The Amazon Queen merely smiled at Nolan Locke's words, not paying any attention to what he was doing. After all, words are too simplistic. Although Durant was present, if Locke's demonstrated power was merely enough to gain everyone's approval, then he simply couldn't possibly fight alongside Diana. This was the war of Ares, a war that a man who could gain Diana's approval couldn't possibly accomplish.

However, he was right about one thing: the final decision-making power was in Diana's hands, not his. After all, it wasn't him who was going to fight against the warrior Avis, but Diana.

Under these circumstances, Diana has the right to decide who she wants to cooperate with, but even so, he needs to confirm whether Nolan Locke has enough power to help Dana. If he does, then it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to agree to this.

But at least for now, he couldn't see where Nolan Locke possessed such a thing. Nolan Locke had already begun communicating with the Red Queen.

Since Paradise Island wants to know just how powerful it is, then it might as well show it.

……

Chapter 451

Although Nolan Locke's current power is not strong enough, he has already made corresponding strategic preparations. After all, he is very clear that after arriving in a strange world, the most important thing is not anything else, but the power to protect himself. That's why the weapons company took out the first thing to open.

Otherwise, it could produce other life-sustaining intelligent machines, which might allow it to generate profits even faster. However, that would severely hinder the development of weapon systems, making it a losing proposition for Nolan Locke. For stable development, the most important thing is to have a stable rear, and the weapon company possesses the greatest advantage in having such a stable rear.

With Locke's vigorous development, Locke Technology's weapons company distribution has greatly improved. In addition to the products sold, Locke himself also possesses a large number of weapons for war, including Terminators, a large number of ships, and even various heavy artillery.

In the other world, Nolan Locke didn't pay too much attention to this. After all, these weapons and artillery were not very suitable for the situation at the time. In that world, he didn't really need to use them in wars very often. Therefore, Nolan Locke did not mass-produce most of the missiles. Only in the later stages did he start similar missile production lines to deal with wars happening all over the world.

These wars inevitably consume vast amounts of weapons and ammunition. But the situation is completely different in this world. The DC universe is far more complicated than the Marvel universe. While the Marvel universe also has many wars, their impact is relatively small. The problems in the DC universe are far more significant.

The war in the real world is far more complicated than in the Marvel universe, so naturally Cody immediately started the relevant weapons production line. This was an extremely important matter for him, and now what he had done was finally going to produce its own. Soon, following Nolan Locke's order, Red Queen immediately received the relevant information, and after being relayed, a large number of ships appeared in the barrier of Paradise Island.

After the large-scale invasion of the Heavenly Dao Barrier, the Amazon Queen's expression changed instantly.

However, after seeing Nolan Locke's expression, he knew that it must be Nolan Locke's power. After defeating Nolan Locke, Diana left immediately without going in. As for him, he didn't want to talk to Nolan Locke about anything else. After all, he still didn't really trust Nolan Locke. Although Nolan Locke was quite strong, these things weren't very important to him.

He instinctively felt that Nolan Locke was a troublesome person, so he avoided that and just sat there by the sea, looking at the distant sea.

This was something he often did. After all, there weren't many other entertainment options in the media in Heaven, so sitting by the sea and watching the ocean was a very pleasant experience for him.

Several Amazonian warriors sat with him, keeping him company.

Although Amazonian warriors are said to live by force, this does not mean they do not have ordinary lives.

What happened there?!

An Amazonian warrior couldn't help but speak, her gaze fixed on the depths of the barrier.

Upon hearing his words, Diana immediately looked in the direction he was referring to and saw the barrier suddenly break open on a large scale, revealing numerous ship-like objects. However, she didn't see any dismembered limbs. Although she hadn't checked in, she could guess that this was probably humanity's latest technology.

"That bastard must have brought them here!"

Diana immediately stood up.

He picked up the longsword and placed it aside.

This longsword never leaves his body. After all, this scene is very important to him. If it leaves his body, it will make him feel very uneasy. He is always looking forward to the day when he can fight Ares, the God of War, and use this sword to pierce his body, so that he will know what true power is.

Let that bastard who keeps stirring up trouble in various places know just how powerful he really is. Under such circumstances, he will naturally not have any other problems.

When Nok appeared, he did not use his weapon. After all, there was no need for him to use a weapon to deal with an ordinary person like Nok. Although Nolan Locke's power was not something he could easily deal with, at that time, neither of them showed any killing intent.

So he did not express his usual opinion, but the situation is different now. Since the other side has already shown a large-scale fighting force, it means that a war is about to break out. Such a war is an extremely bad thing for Diana, and also an extremely bad thing for the entire Swan Island.

So he had to resolve the problem here before things escalated further. However, just as he was about to make his move, the electric ships in the distance stopped on the water and stopped attacking. At the same time, a large number of Terminators appeared on Jianchuan, each of them carrying a Gatling gun and other heavy weapons.

Although these three-elemental weapons did not display any power, Diana could still sense their presence. While no one knew that these weapons could not harm them, she was very clear that if these weapons were to fall upon the Heavenly Dao, it would be a huge blow to Paradise Island. Perhaps they did not pose much of a threat to her, but others could not reach her level.

Therefore, they would inevitably face a great threat. Under these circumstances, Diana's expression became much more serious. She had not expected that the other side would have such a large number of troops and such powerful weapons. Under these circumstances, she hesitated. If she made the first move, the final result would inevitably be a war. After all, they did not yet understand the purpose of the other side's visit. If the other side had no malicious intent, then her actions would only provoke their anger, which was not a good thing for her.

And at the center of Paradise Island.

Nolan Locke's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Amazon and spoke:

"My power has already appeared within the barrier. I think Paradise Island should be able to see all of that."

Of course, Locke didn't come alone. Although the power he brought might not be very useful in his battles, Nolan Locke possessed the ability to freeze space, so leaving wouldn't be too difficult for him. However, if he didn't have his power over the entire ocean...

So even if he left, he would only be trapped in the sea. Therefore, Locke's purpose in bringing these ships was not for fighting, but to provide him with an escape route. However, since he had made such arrangements, he naturally wouldn't leave those ships unprepared. Under these circumstances, this fleet came into being, and the various weapons and equipment on board were definitely not weak. He needed to protect his own safety.

The fact that these buildings can now serve this purpose is unexpected for him, as it's the simplest way. Without a specific method, proving his strength would be a terrible thing for Amazon Li Yang, since the Amazon Queen doesn't naturally trust him. Even if he could come up with some methods, it's very likely that the Amazon Queen would misunderstand, which is something he doesn't want to see.

However, with this method available, the Amazon Queen naturally knew that he did indeed possess a certain amount of power. This power didn't need to be immense; just enough to help Diana was sufficient. Indeed, the world was like this. Upon hearing the report, the Amazon Queen's face showed a hint of shock. She hadn't expected Lolock's power to be so formidable. Lolock himself possessed considerable power, and under these circumstances, he already had a preliminary intention to cooperate with the Blue Locke Enterprises. However, mere preliminary intentions were far from enough.

After all, what he needs to do now is to tell his daughter who she is entrusting her with.

Although Diana possesses immense power, she lacks understanding of the outside world. If she were to leave Paradise Island alone, she would inevitably encounter some problems. However, with a helper, these problems could be easily resolved.

He had just considered Southeast Locke, but he didn't really trust Locke. Now, in this situation, all the power had exceeded his imagination. However, this power couldn't possibly harm Diana, so what he needed to determine was whether Nolan Locke really had a cooperating hospital, which he could do through his magical means.

Having already conducted some monitoring of Nolan Locke, it was confirmed that Locke hadn't lied and, at least not with Paradise Island, harbored any ill intentions. Under these circumstances, he was certain that he had the foundation to cooperate with Locke. Now that Locke had demonstrated sufficient power, all of Locke's conditions for cooperation had been met.

So the Queen of the Amazons smiled and then said:

"In that case, we can proceed to the next step of our discussions."

A smile appeared on Nolan Locke's lips.

This is still a very good thing. His power is not strong enough yet. Under these circumstances, if he can learn the magic of this world, it will be a great help to him. As for the magic in the original Marvel world, magic and physics are completely different, although there is no discomfort in this world.

He can't use that kind of magic, and such magic would cause various problems in this world, preventing its full release, which is a huge problem for Nono. However, if he could analyze the magic of this world, he would have a great chance to unlock it and improve himself by allowing the fluctuations between the two worlds to alter his state. Therefore, his current situation requires him to regain his ability to use magic.

Therefore, his mission this time was extremely important, and his goal was quite clear: to obtain the magic of the Amazons. Now that the Amazon Queen had agreed to cooperate with him, it meant that there shouldn't be any major problems with the matter. After all, for the Amazon Queen, the magic of the Amazons wasn't particularly important, since Diana wasn't considered a magical genius, so the magic she possessed couldn't be too powerful.

Diana used her demigod power. While the Amazons possessed some magical reserves, these reserves weren't particularly advanced, making them a worthwhile trade for Diana's assistance—a valuable asset for the Amazon queen.

As for what happened next, he couldn't fully control it. After all, although she was a very intelligent woman, she hadn't left Paradise Island much and wasn't very familiar with the outside world. Therefore, she could only make general arrangements based on what she knew. The rest was up to Diana to handle, but he believed she was fully capable. Soon, the two reached a cooperation agreement on the child's situation, and while Nono was isolated, she probably wouldn't be by his side for long. He naturally didn't intend to break his promise to the Amazon Queen.

There's really no need to deal with this, and relatively speaking, it's not a bad thing for him. Once they leave here, he can explain things about the real world to Diana, and then Diana will be powerless without the bicycle. When she needs his help, he can simply go to Locke Technology and find Hanolan Locke, who can do exactly that. There shouldn't be any trouble.

As for Diana on the beach, seeing all the ships in the distance stop, a look of confusion appeared on her face. She didn't understand what was going on.

However, he knew that there didn't seem to be any war going to happen here, but he wanted to find out what was on those ships. Upon arriving there, without hesitation, he walked straight to the beach and then leaped into the sea.
