Chapter 120
The pimples on my face disappeared, and my rough skin became fair and smooth.
Ordinary everyday clothes transformed into a bodysuit in the light, slightly more revealing than Diana's Wonder Woman outfit.
Especially when she spreads her arms, there are layers of 'feathers' under the sleeves of both arms, making them look like swan wings!
This instantly transformed her from an ugly duckling into a swan, no wonder she calls herself— Silver Swan!
P. S.: I've added some comic book characters. There aren't enough villains for Wonder Woman in the movie, and considering the timeline and plot, just writing about daily life and foreshadowing seems a bit dry.
The person is still the same, and their facial features haven't changed. Only their hair color has changed, their acne is gone, their skin has improved, and they have become more confident.
But!
The feeling they gave off was completely different; it was as if the ugly duckling had turned into a swan, leaving Diana and Viniria in awe!
Helen, or rather the Silver Swan, raised her arms and, like a real swan, took flight into the air. Then, she swooped down and punched Diana.
"Bang!"
Diana caught the Silver Swan's fist and glanced at her with slight surprise.
This is not the kind of power an ordinary person should have!
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Super Strength (Silver Swan)"
The system's loot rewards have confirmed Diana's suspicions: the Silver Swan does indeed possess Super Strength.
However, there are differences between Super Strength. The Silver Swan's power is considered super for ordinary people, but it is only at a normal level among superheroes or supervillains.
At least, she's not as good as Diana.
"How do you know who I am?!" Diana asked, gripping Silver Swan's fist in bewilderment.
The Silver Swan suddenly opened its mouth, and in an instant, a powerful and piercing sound wave rang out sharply.
The sudden, piercing sound waves caused Diana pain in both ears, and she instinctively released her and covered her ears with her hands.
"Bang!"
Silver Swan then kicked Diana to the ground.
"Diana!"
When Viniria saw this, she wanted to help, but Su Quan smiled and reached out to stop her.
"Don't worry, Diana won't lose."
"Oh."
Viniria naturally trusted Su Quan, so she stopped interfering.
Silver Swan glanced at Su Quan and Viniria, especially Su Quan: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want to defeat her."
After saying that, the Silver Swan rushed towards Diana had already stood up.
The two exchanged blows, punching and kicking each other, and fought fiercely.
Diana did not use Stormbreaker or other equipment. Although Galaxy Sky could fly and use Sonic Attack, he was far inferior to her in terms of strength and skill.
She wasn't taking it seriously, maintaining the stalemate while trying to figure out why the initially somewhat insecure 'ugly duckling' had transformed into a 'swan' determined to defeat her!
Diana was unaware of the origins of the Silver Swan, but Su Quan knew a little about it.
Every superhero has a few 'life-long enemies'.
Among Wonder Woman's most famous nemesis Diana Ares, Cheetah, and Circe.
Among them are Silver Swan.
As Wonder Woman's nemesis, Silver Swan has three generations, and almost every generation of Silver Swan has the experience of 'ugly duckling turning into swan'.
Unlike other villains, none of the three Silver Swan intentionally opposed Wonder Woman, and all of them eventually gave up their Silver Swan identity!
The three generations of Silver Swan share essentially the same abilities: Super Strength, flight, and Sonic Attack.
However, the sources of their abilities are different.
For example, Helen in front of us is the first Silver Swan, and her ability is in the form of superpowers.
The second generation is similar.
The third generation leans more towards technological equipment.
Especially starting from the second generation, the swan's wings are now independent in terms of design. They are more like Angel wings than swan wings.
Returning to Helen, Su Quan knew she was the first Silver Swan and knew her abilities, but why she recognized Diana and defeated Diana remained a mystery.
Su Quan wasn't in a hurry to use his Psychic Abilities to find out. He would wait until Diana defeated her and then use the Lasso of Truth to ask her.
A dozen minutes later, the Silver Swan, which had been relentlessly attacking, finally made Diana lose patience. She used her Lasso of Truth to bind the Silver Swan in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, there was a thud, and the Silver Swan was pulled down and thrown to the ground.
"How do you know who I am?" Diana demanded, gripping the Silver Swan of Lasso of Truth.
The Lasso of Truth shone with a golden light, and the Silver Swan held out for a few seconds before speaking.
"Ares".
"It was Ares, the God of War, who told me."
Diana was slightly taken aback. "Ares? He's dead."
"He's dead?"
Silver Swan was also taken aback, and then said, "I, because of my poor appearance, I have suffered a lot of bullying in my life. I, once prayed in an ancient Greek temple for the protection of the gods."
"It actually succeeded."
"Ares, the God of War, told me that I am a descendant of Helen, the first woman of ancient Greece!"
"Helen? The Helen who sparked the Trojan War and was known as the most beautiful woman in the world?" Su Quan asked in surprise.
The Silver Swan nodded and continued, "Zeus was captivated by the beauty of Leda, the Queen of Spartan. While Leda was bathing in the river, he transformed into a swan and approached her, thus giving birth to the beautiful Helen."
"As a descendant of Helen, I should have had the most beautiful appearance, but the long years have obscured the genetics, and in my generation, the appearance is actually very poor!"
Su Quan nodded first. Zeus is a notorious pervert, and his random high-profile behavior fits his character perfectly. However, the fact that he can turn into a swan and give birth to Helen is a bit too much!
Then he shook his head. As a descendant of Helen, Silver Swan wasn't actually that bad before her transformation. After all, she had the foundation. At most, her skin condition and temperament were a bit lacking.
However, for women of this era, it's fair to say they were terrible.
"And then?" Diana continued to ask.
The Silver Swan said, "Ares, the God of War, blessed me and activated my bloodline with divine power, giving me a stunning appearance and the superpowers of Silver Swan."
"But this ability can only last for one hour each day. Ares told me that to have it forever, I must defeat you for him!"
After saying that, Silver Swan suddenly lowered her head and shook her head dejectedly. "But I don't want to hurt you, nor do I want to hurt anyone else. If Su Quan hadn't said that fairness can only be achieved by oneself, perhaps I wouldn't have taken action."
"But why, why did Ares die?! Perhaps this is my destiny; even on my own, I cannot get what I want!"
Su Quan let out a sound of surprise, completely unexpected that it was his own inspirational quote that had swayed the Silver Swan. "You're a goose, drinking chicken soup is one thing, but the effect is so good? Unbelievable!"
Diana withdrew the Lasso of Truth, and the freed Silver Swan also ended its transformation, turning back into the 'Ugly Duckling'.
It's quite tragic for her. She's a descendant of Helen of Troy, but the inheritance effect gets worse and worse in her own blood. Even though Ares finally activated her bloodline, the effect was too poor, so she could only help Ares defeat Diana.
However, she was kind-hearted and didn't take any action until she finally met Diana, at which point she finally made a move and found herself no match for her.
That would have been bad enough, but the problem was that Ares was already dead, so her wish to fully activate her bloodline and maintain her beauty forever was dashed and almost impossible to achieve.
Looking at the dejected and resigned Silver Swan, Su Quan felt that Ares could use his divine power to activate her bloodline and keep her beautiful forever, he should be able to do the same.
The applications of divine power are very diverse. In addition to being used directly in combat, Diana in the movie also used her divine power to make airplanes invisible.
However, Silver Swan is different from Doctor Poison. Although the latter has no superpowers and is not a combatant, he is extremely valuable and has many uses.
While Silver Swan possesses superpowers, her strength and abilities are not particularly outstanding. Apart from her identity as a descendant of Helen and her appearance after transformation, she doesn't have much value in attracting people.
Helen Alexandra slowly rose, as if she had transformed back into the insecure ballerina, and hesitantly whispered to Diana, "Will you... will you kill me?"
Diana shook her head, somewhat taken aback. "No."
She hadn't taken the fight seriously at all, and besides, although Helen had some connection with Ares, it wasn't a big one, and Helen's personality didn't seem like that of a bad person, so Diana naturally wouldn't kill her.
Helen Alexandra breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively asked, "Then, can I go now?"
Diana glanced at Su Quan, who remained noncommittal, and said to her, "You can go now."
"Thanks."
Helen Alexandra nodded gratefully to her, glanced at Su Quan and Viniria, and turned to leave.
"Etc."
Just then, Su Quan suddenly called out to her.
She stiffened, turned around nervously to Su Quan, and said, "She... she said I can leave now."
