Chapter 280 Showing off and then running away, so exciting!
Steve was still in a daze.
It felt like I was being pulled up by a rope?
But looking at the plane that exploded on the sea in the distance, isn't the distance a bit too exaggerated? And why didn't I feel anything clearly?
Diana was even more shocked: "You...how can you use magic?!"
Within the Paradise Island barrier, Li Muyang was actually able to use magic? Doesn't that mean the magic-suppressing barrier is ineffective?
Upon hearing the word "magic," Steve realized that supernatural abilities were no secret in this world. Even at this point in time, when supernatural abilities were relatively rare abroad, Steve, as a soldier, had still heard some rumors about them.
However, for some reason, Steve felt something was off when he looked at Li Muyang's face, as if he couldn't remember what the young man in front of him looked like.
Old Li gave a wicked smile; it had nothing to do with him.
When Diana asked him, Li Muyang shrugged calmly and said, "It's no big deal! Nothing is absolute. The magic-suppressing barrier on Paradise Island is not omnipotent. There is always an upper limit to its effect."
Diana stared at Li Muyang in disbelief. After spending time together, she had gotten used to it. Whenever Li Muyang looked so serious, he was definitely talking nonsense!
Well, she guessed right. Li Muyang hadn't completely neutralized the effect of the magic-suppressing barrier. At least, he now had to rely on talismans to unleash his other abilities.
But it’s enough!
Before Diana could ask any more questions, a muffled rumble resounded. The barrier that had protected Paradise Island for thousands of years had inexplicably been smashed open by several warships! And the warships were rapidly approaching Paradise Island! They looked like they belonged to San Dezi.
Li Muyang's lips twitched. "Damn it! You can't be treating me like an idiot, can you? How many warships could break through Paradise Island's barrier? What's that warship made of? Even that Hammer God next door would probably be knocked unconscious by that warship!"
Unfortunately, the other side won't explain anything, because they don't know either; they're just pawns that have been lured in.
Having already noticed the commotion, Hippolyta led the Amazonian warriors over and urged Li Muyang and Diana to evacuate the dangerous area.
Are you kidding me? You think you can walk like that?
Diana was already fully armed, and although it wasn't the divine armor she would wear in the future, it was enough for her to use now. She immediately took the lead and rushed forward.
With a wave of his hand, Li Muyang put a rope around Steve's neck, then used physical hypnosis to knock him down, and then began to scatter talismans!
Golden Light Mantra, Protective Mantra, Wind and Thunder... all sorts of buffs were cast on the Amazons.
The soldiers of the opposing San Dezi were highly skilled in combat. Even though they were secretly mocking this group of "primitive people," they did not show it. Instead, they adopted their highest level of combat readiness and tried to wipe out the Amazons right from the start.
However, as soon as they met, San Dezi's soldiers' faces darkened. Holy crap! They thought they were cavemen, but they turned out to be "numerical monsters"!
These Amazonian warriors, who looked like primitive people, not only had Hippolyta wearing magically enhanced items, but Li Muyang also layered them with countless buffs, rendering San Dezi's technological weapons completely ineffective! They couldn't even break through the first barrier!
Little did Hippolyta know that she was also shocked. She had guessed that Li Muyang had neutralized the barrier's effect and could unleash some of his combat power, but she never expected him to be this fierce!
Fortunately, they didn't cause any trouble for Li Muyang during this time. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have been able to handle the situation with their small group. Apart from themselves and Diana, the rest of the Amazon warriors combined wouldn't be enough to stop Li Muyang from going berserk.
Faced with this group of San Dezi who were destined to be wiped out, Li Muyang had no interest in continuing to mess with them. It was just a matter of dying sooner or later. Since their combat skills were so high, there was no need to hold back!
Another talisman was quickly drawn. Although Li Muyang could summon whatever he called for, under his current suppressed state, the effect of drawing it by hand was definitely better than summoning whatever he called for.
The talisman quickly took shape and fell into the sea. Moments later, a wave rose up, gradually expanding and rising, reaching a height of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye!
The soldiers of San Dezi on the opposing warship were stunned for a moment!
Turns out it's not just the numbers that are weird, it's the mechanics too! What happened to the cavemen we were supposed to know?! How can they even control tsunamis?!
There was no chance for regret. By the time the waves reached the warships, they had already risen dozens of meters high, and with a splash, they were all buried at the bottom of the sea.
Hippolyta and her Amazon warriors, who had been so aggressive and ready to drive out the enemy, were stunned by what they saw!
They really hid it well!
After doing all this, Li Muyang carried the unconscious Steve and quickly came to Hippolyta, saying, "Thank you very much for taking care of Her Majesty the Queen during this time. I think it's time to say goodbye to Paradise Island."
Diana, who was walking over from the side, asked in surprise, "Are you leaving now? In such a hurry?"
Li Muyang nodded: "I have some things to take care of. Don't worry, I'll come and help you when you face Ares."
Hippolyta intended for Li Muyang to leave the island with Diana and face Diana's trials together. Ideally, Li Muyang would defeat Ares. However, Li Muyang's sudden decision to leave has disrupted her plans, but she can't say anything since she doesn't owe him anything.
On the contrary, Li Muyang also taught Diana to master divine power during this period, teaching martial arts under the guise of sparring, which is impeccable.
Moreover, after Li Muyang demonstrated his ability to ignore the magic-suppressing barrier, Hippolyta had to admit that her vigilance towards Li Muyang had increased. If they continued to stay on Paradise Island, both she and the elders and priests would probably feel somewhat uneasy.
Oh well, plans can't keep up with changes.
"Then I wish you a safe journey." Hippolyta exchanged a few polite words and then gestured to the goddess of war beside her to take Steve's ship. Then, remembering something, she asked, "Do we need to prepare a ship?"
Li Muyang shook his head. Why would he need such a thing? He had plenty on hand! Then, after thinking for a moment, he handed Diana a small capsule and sent her a message.
Diana's eyes lit up, and she glanced gratefully at Li Muyang, remaining silent in tacit agreement.
Hippolyta pretended not to see the flirtatious glances between the two, and the other female warriors didn't care either. The principle of respecting the strong goes without saying, not to mention that Li Muyang was a distinguished guest of the gods.
Then, Li Muyang flew out of Paradise Island until he disappeared outside the barrier.
Hippolyta watched Li Muyang disappear into the direction he had gone. After a long while, she sighed. At least she had agreed to take care of Diana through the trial, which was considered a passing grade. She shouldn't think about taking any more advantage; such advantages were not easy to come by!
Especially for cultivators in the East, these kinds of debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay! They might have to spend a lifetime to repay them!
They might even risk their lives!
As for killing the creditor... you should also consider whether you can actually defeat him.
After leaving Paradise Island, Li Muyang followed the direction he remembered and flew rapidly towards a certain Britain at a speed of Mach 14 (made up).
This feeling of flying at high speed is really great!
His first target on this trip was Sir Patrick Morgan, the spokesman for the Imperial War Cabinet.
He is also Ares's disguise on Earth, the god of war, and later Diana's opponent in her trials.
It's clear from Li Muyang's choice of words that he never considered Diana's defeat of Ares to be a mission or destiny, but rather a trial similar to Hercules's Twelve Trials.
As for truly defeating it... if it's just the DC Universe, then maybe, but this world... forget about it.
Although Diana is strong, she is currently only an unawakened demigod. The fact that she was able to defeat Ares's avatar means that Ares held back a lot. Poseidon said that his roof had risen quite a bit.
As for whether it was arranged by the Olympian gods, we'll have to wait until we meet them to make a judgment.
After a busy day, Ares, who had also served as a peace ambassador all day, was at his wit's end. He felt that if this continued, he would soon be able to seize the divine right to peace.
Having just changed out of her clothes, she straightened her hunched back, stretched, and turned her head, only to be stunned.
He remembers he doesn't have a cat, right? And he locked the house before he left!
Then, right before his eyes, the tabby cat transformed into a young man.
"Hello, Your Majesty Ares," Li Muyang greeted with a smile. "Please forgive my unannounced visit."
Ares stared at Li Muyang for a moment, then gave him a kind and friendly smile: "Greetings, Your Highness."
Li Muyang hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I can't accept that title. Please just call me Li Muyang."
Ares chuckled: "You are too modest. With that transformation technique just now, I didn't feel anything was wrong at all. There really was an ordinary tabby cat in front of me. You are worthy of the title of Emperor's Son."
Li Muyang's lips twitched. He meant that he was not clear about the situation and had to ask his father when he got back. After all, Li Muyang did not know how many brothers and sisters he had, so he dared not casually call himself "the Emperor's Son".
Well, he had no idea that his father's children from the past had already died.
"Alright, that's not important." Li Muyang could only change the subject and get to his purpose: "Lord Ares, let's not waste any more words. I just want to ask you, what exactly do you want to do? Why did you give me another divine blessing?"
Ares crossed his arms and asked with a gentle, refined smile, "Before that, Your Highness, could you answer me where the divine power from Olympus that protects you comes from?"
Li Muyang answered honestly, "This is an apology from the Olympian gods of another world."
