Victor Became a Gift

Paradise Island.

Giant white pillars of grey-gray rock, sculpted with statues of goddesses, support this towering, spacious palace of the Amazon Royal Palace.

There were only a few people inside the main hall.

Antiope, Phillips, and Artemis stood below.

Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazon, sat on her throne, her beautiful face solemn, her eyes filled with deep worry.

Surprisingly, there was a man in this Amazon Royal Palace.

Victor Stone.

After failing in his quest for the Green Lantern Ring, Hal was controlled by the energy of fear and was drawn to the Parallax in the depths of space, flying away from Earth and disappearing without a trace.

Diana was defeated in space and captured by Ba Di, becoming a prize of war.

Victor Stone, who has connections with Batman, returns to Paradise Island to gain control of Paradise Island forces and make them work for him.

"We have contacted people with superpowers around the world and are preparing to infiltrate the Ba Miu Luo Di Group."

"As long as we infiltrate the Ba Miu Luo Di Group and obtain the Kryptonite, we still have a very good chance of winning!"

"Amazon Queen, to avert a future apocalyptic catastrophe and save Diana, we need your help!"

Victor Stone offered his advice in a righteous and eloquent manner.

They need to save Diana, obtain Kryptonite, and fight against Ba Miu Luo Di.

The vast, magnificent hall fell silent.

The atmosphere was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Suddenly.

With a 'bang'.

Artemis's eyes were filled with anger. She took a step forward, breaking through the air currents, and punched Victor in the chest.

Victor is not currently wearing Exoskeleton Device, nor has he merged with the Mother Box to become Cyborg as he is in the familiar future.

As a mortal, he felt as if a truck had hit his chest. The violent force struck his chest, his sternum broke instantly, his heart cavity was compressed, his vision blurred, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Blood mist spread in the air, and he was sent flying, crashing into the white giant pillar.

"Uh... ah..."

Victor arched his back in agony, his breath seemingly extinguished, his blood struggling to circulate properly. He vomited another mouthful of blood, a vivid crimson, and his vision blurred as he stared intently at Artemis as she strode forward.

"Enough!"

"From the very beginning, you were liars, using visions of the future and familiarity with Diana's habits and past to deceive her into leaving Paradise Island and opposing Ba Miu Luo Di!"

"Do you still want to use Paradise Island to make the Amazon pay the price, in order to fight the evil you speak of?"

Artemis's eyes were filled with rage, her knuckles turned white from clenching her fists, and she growled angrily through gritted teeth.

"I... didn't... lie to you."

Victor gagged as he spoke with difficulty, his vision blurred as he watched Artemis approach him with the fury of God of War, her iron boots clattering on the hall floor with the angry sound of steel.

"No?"

"We have investigated everything about Ba Miu Luo Di! You have described Ba Miu Luo Di's tyranny, cruelty, and brutality in every way, but what have you done?"

"In the country he ruled, the people were happy and healthy, everything was well-regulated, disciplined, and socially orderly, with the lowest crime rate."

"He strongly supported solving the oasis problem in the Middle East, which is facing desertification."

"Terrorists were rampant, and he sheltered civilians."

"When war breaks out, he is the one who can protect the most ordinary people."

"He solved the problem of security for most civilians in the Africa famine wilderness tribes."

"Gotham, the crime capital of the United States for centuries, has become one of the cities with the lowest crime rates in recent years."

"The charitable organizations he founded have saved tens of millions of refugees and orphans."

"This is what you call the misery of ordinary people!"

Artemis's fury showed no sign of abating. Her iron boots clattered as she stepped closer to Victor, looking down at him with rage.

In the decade altered by The Flash, Ba Di did not shatter New Guinea Island. Ba Di's image, apart from being seen by governments and these superheroes as a complete tyrant, an ambitious schemer, and a demon plotting against Earth, remains largely unchanged.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Ba Di is actually the world's greatest philanthropist, doing everything he can for ordinary people, saving far more people from disasters than anyone else, and even leading the progress of the times. He can be said to be a great man of this era.

"And you! You deceived us, saying he was a tyrant, an evil one, which caused Paradise Island to become his enemy, and Diana to fall into captivity, her fate unknown."

"Paradise Island has been bombed."

"The magical protective field has been destroyed."

"The Amazon have become prey."

Victor, vomiting blood, struggled to look up at Artemis: "This is not the right future, it's just his disguise!"

The right future should be an era of superheroes and supervillains, not this tyrannical Ba Miu Luo Di.

Artemis has no right to judge whether this era of superheroes and supervillains is better or worse than the wonderful era created by the Great Unification of the Ba Miu Luo Di; she simply wants the Amazon to survive.

Artemis punched Victor in the stomach, causing Victor to arch his body like a shrimp, stare wide-eyed, vomit blood, and faint in agony.

We have eyes!

Artemis's gaze was cold and filled with disgust. If the times could develop in a better direction, why not? The lives of ordinary people would be much better, instead of living in the midst of battles between supervillains and superheroes, looking up at them, and then dying in the aftermath of war—a lowly existence.

She watched as Victor lay on her hand, then with a sudden jolt, she knocked Victor to the ground. She then ordered the guards outside to drag Victor out and imprison him.

Artemis wasn't speaking up for Ba Miu Luo Di; rather, it was all true—the facts they had gathered during their trip to Paradise Island.

Ba Miu Luo Di undoubtedly harbored great ambitions and wanted to rule the world.

However, he maintained strict discipline towards civilians and his soldiers, and the lives of civilians who did not obstruct him were peaceful, healthy, and happy.

He was simply ruthless to the extreme towards his adversaries.

Unfortunately, it was precisely this extremely ruthless behavior that nearly led to Paradise Island Paradise Island blown up by a nuclear bomb.

Artemis was furious about Ba Miu Luo Di's attack on Paradise Island, but upon returning to Paradise Island, she rationally understood everything.

All of this is largely because Paradise Island was used by those who rebelled against Ba Miu Luo Di. They became the sharpest weapons of these people, directly angering Ba Miu Luo Di and becoming the outlet for Ba Miu Luo Di rage.

That's why we've ended up with these consequences.

"Your Majesty, I will offer Victor to Ba Miu Luo Di, but that is not enough."

Artemis turned and spoke, her anger and coldness turning into silent worry.

The space was silent.

Hippolyta remained acquiescing to Artemis's actions, as the Amazon could no longer rebel with these people and could not afford the consequences.

"What Victor was talking about—uniting extraordinary individuals from all over the world to infiltrate the Emperor Tower, steal Kryptonite, and rescue Diana ..."

General Phillips said hesitantly.
