Diana supported Amazon Queen, and after confirming that her mother was only temporarily weak and nothing serious, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Take care of Her Majesty."

She handed the unconscious and unsteady Hippolyta to the female general Antiope.

"I probably just drank poisonous wine, which was mixed with Cerberus Aconitum. Fortunately, the dose was not large."

Diana not only knows the skills on the battlefield, she is also good at learning and has a certain understanding of medicinal herbs.

Cerberus is the "three-headed dog of hell" in Greek mythology. It has a dragon tail on its lower body and venomous snakes on its head and back.

As soon as it sees the sun, it spits out poisonous saliva, which drops to the ground and turns into aconite.

It was a rare herb that was extremely poisonous, and even Hippolyta's demigod body was not immune to it.

Weaken him with poison, then assassinate him!

Diana glanced at Golden Trident, who was bounced away, and looked at the Atlantis envoy with a somewhat unkind look.

Such a murder weapon is very similar to the weapon style of Deep Sea People.

"Did you find the murderer?"

She turned her attention to Penthesilea, who was the most famous female warrior Paradise Island.

When the assassination happened, she immediately chased him out.

"No, I just saw a figure from behind. The murderer jumped into the sea and didn't have time to stop him."

Penthesilea shook his head, showing regret.

"Let's break up. Let the delegation from the human world go out. Let's go back to Paradise Island first."

Hippolyta was assassinated and unable to take charge of the overall situation. Diana should stand up as a matter of course.

Facts have proved that Amazon Princess is very responsible and decisive, and quickly handled the chaotic situation.

Even if the suspicion of the murderer of the human world and Atlantis cannot be ruled out.

She still relaxed the restrictions on entrances and exits and did not create more meaningless conflicts.

Ensuring the safety of Amazon Queen is the top priority.

There is a witch on Paradise Island who can neutralize the poison of aconite.

"Prince Curry, he wants to come over and ask about the queen's situation..."

A Amazon soldier lowered his voice and said to Diana.

The latter involuntarily glanced at Luke, who was leaning to the side with his arms crossed, and then shook his head in refusal.

I don't know why, Amazon Princess doesn't want Arthur-Kurry to appear at this time.

"I'm very busy now. I appreciate Atlantis's condolences and concerns. Please let His Highness go back."

Diana waved his hand and rejected future Aquaman's overtures.

She had no intention of dealing with the other party. Her mother was suddenly assassinated, and the peace talks that were supposed to end successfully cast a shadow.

Not long after, the Amazon battleship anchored at the port came in.

Female general Antiope took Hippolyta to the flagship and rushed to Paradise Island first.

"You come back with me."

Diana, who was in charge of the overall situation, slowed down and did not get on the boat, and said to Luke who stayed behind.

"Paradise Island?"

Luke raised the corners of his mouth, shook his head and said.

"Amazon Queen is assassinated, which will inevitably cause a reaction from Olympian Gods. If the murderer is the human world, then the war between gods and mortals will begin. If the murderer is Atlantis, then the war between land and sea will ignite. If the murderer is... a certain god, then it is an internal dispute."

"Diana, there will be a lot of things that you need to deal with in the next period of time, and all the responsibilities will be on your shoulders."

"So, I won't go over and cause trouble. I can't help much anyway."

When Luke refused at first, Diana pursed his lips, obviously unhappy.

But the calm analysis behind Luke made her put away her willfulness.

This man can always convince himself.

"Did you know that Amazonians had a tradition a long time ago. If they liked a man from a certain tribe, they would challenge him for a duel and then work hard to defeat him..."

Standing at the port, Diana's eyes were a little complicated, as if he was in a tangle of inner thoughts and had difficulty making a decision.

"Knock him unconscious and bring Paradise Island back. That man will be her future husband."

Luke raised his eyebrows and his eyes couldn't help but move to Amazon Princess who was replaced by God-Metal Armor.

He was a little worried that the next moment the other party would use a pan or a shield to knock him out, and then pack him up and send him to Paradise Island.

"This sounds a bit like the way primitive tribes get married. They are knocked unconscious with a big stick and dragged into a cave to get married together."

Luke avoided Diana's gaze and changed the topic.

He hasn't figured out yet how to take Wonder Woman out of the Flashpoint world.

Furthermore, others may not follow you.

If you brush too much favorability at this time, you will fall into a more passive situation.

"If you don't want to come back to Paradise Island with me, then why do you show up here?"

Diana was a little angry, and her intuition told her that Luke had hidden many secrets.

If she could, she really wanted to use Lasso of Truth to tie up this guy severely and make him recruit him for real.

"Of course to fulfill the promise."

Luke spread out his palms and, like magic, conjured up a strawberry ice cream.

It was sprinkled with chopped nuts and showed no signs of melting, as if it had just been made.

"The gift arrived."

He smiled and handed the ice cream to Diana.

Amazon Princess snorted softly. During the past few days of participating in the talks, she had tasted all kinds of sweets in the human world.

But facing the ice cream in Luke's hand, Diana still couldn't resist the temptation and took it readily.

This is what you deserve!

"Don't try to bribe me with this little thing!"

Amazon Princess said firmly while eating.

"Then let me reveal a little more information, so that Princess can forgive me for my lack of knowledge."

Luke raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Amazon Warriors standing on the bow of the ship, and said softly, "Paradise Island has caught a traitor."

Diana, who was licking the ice cream, was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't hear clearly, and then he reacted.

"Impossible!"

She almost subconsciously rejected this possibility.

Immediately, those clear eyes stared closely at Luke.

"Who is it?"

Diana hesitated for a moment and asked in a deep voice.

If it were anyone else, she would definitely not believe it.

Amazonians values honor and comrades, betrayal is an extremely shameful crime!

Over the years, Amazon Princess has never heard of anyone who would go against the Queen's will and disobey the teachings of Mother Earth.

"Her Majesty's sister, Penthesilea."

Luke answered truthfully.

"She has an unknown identity, that is, she is the daughter of Ares."

Paradise Island's "Penthesilea" is not a four-star card in a certain krypton gold game.

She is the daughter of God of War Ares and one of the insiders who planned the assassination.

"In addition to her, Ocean Master Orm of Atlantis is also involved, and perhaps there is also the secret promotion of Ares himself."

Luke doesn't mind giving "spoilers" to Diana. Anyway, enough things have been changed in the Flashpoint world.

The original trajectory was actually that Ocean Master Orm colluded with Penthesilea, the daughter of Ares.

The two cooperated internally and externally, first assassinating Amazon Queen Hippolyta, and then assassinating the king of Atlantis in an attempt to provoke a war between the two sides.

As for the purpose?

Paradise Island loses Hippolyta. If Diana fails to show qualified leadership skills, then Penthesilea is likely to become the new queen.

Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera, and his status is extraordinary.

With his support, the gods will not object.

And Ocean Master Orm can also remove the biggest stumbling block on his way forward, his brother Arthur, and thus ascend to the throne as king.

Finally, hidden behind the scenes is God of War Ares.

You can also draw on divine power and strengthen yourself through this world war.

A perfect collaboration!

Everyone is a winner!

In addition to Diana and Arthur-Kuri, as well as the innocent people involved in the human world.

"Do you have any evidence?"

After listening to the lengthy "spoilers", Diana was a little shaken.

She is not the kind of character who easily doubts her companions, but these incredible speculations all come from the mouth of Luke.

And it is well-founded and logically consistent.

"No evidence required."

Luke looked into the distance and whispered, "Amazon Queen was successfully assassinated without following the original script. She is still alive, and the war between Paradise Island and Atlantis cannot be ignited."

"So, Ares will definitely take action."
