The night is like water, and the bright moonlight falls on the sparkling sea, reflecting the silvery brilliance.

The gentle breeze drifted quietly through the vast mountain forest, shaking the leaves on the branches and making a fine "rustling" sound.

Luke stood on the spacious balcony, holding a glass of Amazonians's special fruit wine and sipping it.

For outsiders, this group of demigod female warriors living on the island do not have any obvious hostility.

It's more about novelty, surprise and unabashed enthusiasm.

After all, in Paradise Island, this purely female country, men are a species that has never existed.

"Isn't it really just the origin story of Wonder Woman?"

Luke took a sip of the fragrant fruit wine, and many doubts arose in his heart.

According to Cosmic Entities, a brand new change, this is more like a description of a big event.

Moreover, before he came to this world, he clearly saw Flash Barry-Allen.

"It's hard to guess the right answer."

Looking at the rising tide on the sea in the distance, Luke shook his head and smiled, putting the problem behind him.

He can always figure out the time point. Before that, he still quietly observes this strange world.

Amazonians, with the Greek gods behind it.

And they are divided into Old Gods, which is the original Titan Giants, such as Chaos God, Kaos, Mother Earth Gaia and so on.

Amazonians believes in Old Gods, but Wonder Woman is the descendant of New Gods, that is, the batch of Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon.

The two parties are mortal enemies, and their internal interests are intertwined.

Just like Asgard in Marvel Universe, the history of the Greek gods is essentially family conflict.

Fathers and sons kill each other, brothers kill each other, have affairs and cheat on each other, sowing seeds everywhere...

Those gods have no ethics at all. For example, Pluto Hades had evil thoughts towards his niece, Wonder Woman Diana.

Thinking that just Paradise Island had such a complicated background, Luke couldn't help but feel a headache.

"The water is too deep."

he sighed.

"What do you mean... too deep?"

A delicate and clean face appeared on the edge of the balcony without any warning, interrupting Luke's divergent thoughts.

"I thought only Amazonians had the habit of talking to himself."

The girl Diana climbed on the railing with both hands and stuck her head out to look at Luke.

She had a triumphant smile on her face, as if she had accomplished something great.

With a strong push of both hands, she jumped into the balcony easily like a strong and powerful female leopard.

"Diana, Amazon Queen should have said that ladies will not run around at night, and a noble princess should not break into a strange man's room in the dead of night."

Luke glanced down and said helplessly.

His room stood on the edge of a cliff, close to the shore.

Surrounded by steep rock walls, there was no place to stay.

If it weren't for Amazonians's extremely strong physical fitness, and if Diana was blessed by Twelve Sovereign Gods, climbing with bare hands would be an impossible task.

"As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know."

Diana didn't care. In her opinion, a small cliff would not trouble the brave and fearless Amazon Princess at all.

"Mother said Amazonian Games will be held tomorrow."

"The warrior who wins in the end will return you to the human world and establish a bridge of communication with the outside world."

Luke nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at the girl with a cheerful smile. She was different from the heroic figure with long hair tied up and wearing cloth armor that she saw during the day.

In the evening, Diana put on a white robe, and her long black hair like seaweed was spread down, which invisibly added a bit of feminine beauty.

"Will you participate?"

Luke asked curiously.

He felt as if he had replaced the role of Steve-Trevor and became the person who brought Diana out of Paradise Island.

"My mother didn't allow me to participate, she rejected me."

Diana lowered his head, obviously a little frustrated.

Influenced by Amazonians's culture since childhood, Princess is eager to prove his bravery and his strong qualifications as a true warrior.

But Amazon Queen, who has always been gentle and kind, refused the request to participate in the competition without thinking.

"But... I really want to see the outside world."

Diana felt a little depressed and said softly, "Paradise Island doesn't have the steamships you mentioned, nor those interesting fairy tales and circus performances."

"By the way, what happened to that story you told me during the day? Jack and Rose, they met on a ship called the Titanic."

Luke The corners of his mouth twitched and he resumed the unfinished story.

To be honest, facing the refreshing night breeze, telling stories to beautiful girls.

No matter how you look at it, the atmosphere seems a bit subtle.

"... In this way, the story comes to a successful end."

When Luke finished speaking, Diana did not show any moved expression on his face.

Instead, she was slightly confused and asked, "Rose had an improper physical relationship with Jack without telling her fiancé clearly. Isn't this betrayal?"

"And she also took away the expensive Heart of the Ocean. Is this considered stealing someone else's property?"

"Besides, when Jack knew that Rose was engaged, they called it an affair. Even in the human world, this is immoral behavior, right?"

"..."

Hearing Diana's constant questions, Luke felt like his head was spinning.

According to common sense, after listening to Titanic, shouldn't the girl be moved to tears and then throw herself into her arms?

"Well, this is actually the story of an affair between a romantic man and a rich lady."

Luke shrugged and said that Diana made sense, Jack and Rose were the third party and Bitchi.

"Do you think there is any way to get my mother to agree to my participation in the competition?"

After chatting for a while, the topic returned to its original point.

Diana complained that she should have been wary of strangers from outside.

However, due to her noble status and the hierarchy of Amazonians, the girl could not find anyone to talk to.

Diana has friends and partners, but they also respect Amazon Queen and will not question any decision of Hippolyta.

"Parents always don't want their children to grow up. Maybe you want to prove your courage and the excellent qualities of a Amazon Princess, but obviously your mother doesn't think so. She thinks you are still a child and need to live under her protection. The outside world is not safe and full of dangers. She is just afraid that you will be hurt."

Luke acts as a qualified listener, and Amazon Queen obviously has other purposes.

Sending an outsider who broke into Paradise Island back to the human world does not require such a big fanfare at all.

"But I'm not a child, I want to become a qualified Amazon warrior!"

Diana was sitting on the balcony railing, her slender legs dangling in the air.

"It doesn't depend on what you think, Diana. When I was very young, my father wanted me to be the best person, but I rarely satisfied him. Even if every time the report card was A+, he always said that I lacked courage. Later I asked the teacher what courage is. The teacher told me that daring to challenge things that are impossible, knowing that you will lose but still rushing forward. This seemingly fool-like behavior is true courage."

"Then what did you do to prove your courage to your father?"

Diana asked curiously, she leaned over and stared into the young man's eyes.

"I had a fight with the strongest fat guy in the class. Every transfer student and junior student was bullied by him. I wrote homework for him for a whole semester... That day, I came home bruised and swollen, like a dirty puppy, but I saw my father's satisfied eyes. He told me that this world is both realistic and cruel, and only brave children can protect and get what they want."

Luke said lightly, with a smile on his lips.

The dark clouds that accumulated in the sky dispersed, and the stars dotted the night sky like pearls.

Diana seemed to understand something, with firm determination in his eyes.

As Amazon Princess, she has never lacked the ability to put ideas into action.

"Thank you, Luke, I really want to see the outside world - traveling around the world like you."

Diana said quietly, the girl's heart is always full of beautiful fantasies and illusory longing for the unknown world.

"The world is not a beautiful place, but it is worth seeing."

Luke said with a smile, the night wind blew gently by them, seeming to pluck someone's heartstrings.
