Chapter 117
"Boom!"
The Thor Corps was not to be outdone, and bolts of lightning followed one after another.
A few seconds later, the energy shield shattered.
Ares gritted his teeth and retreated, disappearing with a whoosh.
"Here!"
Penthesilea spotted Ares Teleportation in immediately, and quickly flew over with her Stormbreaker, slamming him back into everyone's sight with a Savage Charge.
"Snap!"
"Boom!"
Several bolts of lightning struck Ares almost simultaneously.
Ares screamed in mid-air as he was slammed to the ground by the blow.
"Bang!"
The ground caved in instantly, Ares' head bounced a few times on the ground, and then stopped moving!
The Thor Corps exchanged glances and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Is he dead?"
"No way! He's Ares, the God of War!"
"So what? We're still Thor! Even the God of War is useless against so many Thor attacking us at once!"
"You guys attacked too fast! I didn't even have time to raise my Storm Stormbreaker struck. If he's dead, I won't have a chance to fight him."
"Me too."
Good heavens! Su Quan exclaimed in disbelief.
They actually started blaming each other for almost killing Ares?
The treatment of Ares, the God of War, is far too poor!
In truth, Thor Corps initially held Ares, the God of War, in some fear and respect, given his undeniably formidable fighting record; however—
From the moment he appeared, he gained almost no advantage. He made a few nonsensical remarks and was constantly beaten by Diana, even losing an arm.
The only highlight was probably that he destroyed the God-Slaying Sword.
Although Thor Corps has never fought Ares, they fight Diana several times a day. Even though Diana also uses Stormbreaker, it is not easy to defeat more than two Thor at the same time.
Ares's performance brought him down from his pedestal!
Thor Corps was naturally eager to try their luck and were vying to fight him.
"He's not dead yet. Be careful. The longer he lives, the longer you can play with him."
Su Quan gave a 'cruel' reminder, then curiously studied the divine power that the God of War, Ares, had just lost when he was struck by lightning.
As usual, Ares's divine power was integrated into the Power of Divinity. Judging from the amplification of the Power of Divinity, Ares's divine power was almost equal to Diana's, or at most much stronger.
However, Ares's power has a special characteristic—the more wars he wages, the stronger he becomes; the fewer wars he wages, the weaker he becomes!
Ares's power has a similar characteristic to Ares in the New 52 series, becoming weaker as wars on Earth gradually decrease.
Moreover, after his death, Diana became the new God of War!
However, the Old Gods in the Justice League Universe do not have any so-called divine office or divine status.
So, after Diana defeated Ares in the movie, she didn't become the new God of War. It was just that the battle awakened her divine power and made her stronger!
Ares's divine power has both advantages and disadvantages, as can be seen from the changes in his strength.
In the great war during Darkseid's invasion in ancient times, three members of the Old Gods participated.
King of the Gods: Zeus.
Ares, the God of War.
Goddess of the Hunt: Artemis.
The best player of the night was neither Zeus nor Artemis, who shot down the spaceship with her arrows, but Ares, whose power exploded due to his divine nature!
In the subsequent War of the Gods, Ares instigated a war in which he Carnage the gods and defeated Zeus, the King of the Gods!
After that, Ares's strength fluctuated wildly!
The reduction in wars led to a rapid decline in his power!
To give an example that may not be entirely accurate, Ares in the ancient era was equivalent to Thor in the Stormbreaker era; even with Six Infinity Stones, he could still Thanos a single axe strike.
So Ares now is equivalent to Thor Thor's Hammer when he first appeared in Thor 1!
The difference in strength between the two is quite obvious!
Speaking of which, Darkseid and Thanos truly deserve to be called 'twin brothers,' as their fates of being injured by an axe during their invasion of Earth are so synchronized!
Getting back to the main point, the characteristics of Ares's power are only beneficial to Su Quan and have no drawbacks!
His superpowers destined him to never stray far from war, so his strength would only increase, never decrease!
Even without war, the weakening of his power would not affect the other divine powers of the Power of Divinity. At most, it would be affected when there was no superposition of this divine power. Not to mention that the Power of Divinity is just one of his many powers, and it has no impact on his overall strength at all!
"Enough!"
Ares roared like a madman, his divine power surging, directly shaking the Thunder Thor Corps, who were alternately releasing lightning in an attempt to 'awaken' him, causing them to take several steps back.
From within the crater, a disheveled Ares slowly floated up, his eyes fixed on Thor Corps with a sinister and cold gaze.
"You will all die today!"
Antiope sneered and stepped forward, "No! Today, the only one who will die is you!"
Having said that, he picked up the Lasso of Truth and threw it out.
"Whoosh!"
The Lasso of Truth bound Ares.
Immediately afterwards, golden lights flashed one after another as everyone in Thor Corps unleashed their Lasso of Truth.
In an instant, Ares's neck, waist, hands, and feet were all bound by Lasso of Truth!
Ares tried to break free with his divine power surging, but he was entangled by more than a dozen 'Thor' with the Lasso of Truth. How could he possibly break free in his current state?
After struggling several times, instead of breaking free, she was strangled even tighter!
"Diana!"
Antiope looked at Diana in a deep voice, thinking that the destiny of killing Ares, the God of War, should still be ended by her.
Diana lowered the Stormbreaker with a serious expression, staring intently at Ares as he raised his arm.
"No!"
Ares knew this was his last chance, and without holding back any of his remaining divine power, he unleashed a devastating attack on Diana.
The incredibly thick, azure lightning bolts emitted a blinding light like the sun, making the entire sky, and even the whole world, seem to turn azure blue.
"Bang bang bang!"
Ares, with his divine power, shattered the Lasso of Truth that bound him.
Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning as large as the sun struck Diana.
Diana stared directly at the thunderbolt and slammed her arm down.
"Bang!"
The Bracelets of Submission collided heavily, and the Divine Power Impact directly clashed with Ares's lightning.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"
The massive thunderbolt seemed to have been stopped.
But--
One second, two seconds, three seconds!
In just three seconds, Diana's divine power was broken!
Immediately afterwards, a massive, raging bolt of lightning rushed towards Diana and struck her in an instant.
"Bang!"
Diana was hit head-on, and the huge impact caused her arms to swing back and her body to lean backward, as if she would be blown away at any moment.
At that moment, she suddenly and inexplicably thought of the scene when she first met Su Quan.
"Thunder will not harm me; on the contrary, it will become my strength!"
Diana murmured softly.
Suddenly, time seemed to slow down countless times at this moment!
She seemed to see Antiope and the others running towards her with worry, she seemed to see Ares's gleeful expression and crazed eyes, she seemed to see the surging, increasing power within her!
"Bang!"
