Chapter 011: Going All Out

To draw an analogy, the superheroes in the Marvel world often worry about their lives, their families, and their finances when fighting crime.

Take Spider-Man, for example. This guy is a very miserable hero in the Marvel world. Before becoming a superhero, he was a miserable loser.

After becoming a superhero, he was still that same miserable loser.

His on-again, off-again relationship with his lover, busy with life every day—this is rarely seen in the DC world.

Of course, more importantly, the backgrounds of DC superheroes are all very lofty.

For instance, Superman, the last survivor of Krypton, looks like a loser, but he has a farm at home and a decent job, never worrying about life.

Batman goes without saying—he doesn't just have a mine at home; he's an outright super-rich man.

Green Arrow is the same; his family is very wealthy.

Aquaman is even the prince of Atlantis, and will become king in the future.

Another example is Wonder Woman, standing before Wang Bo. Not only is she the daughter of Zeus, but also the princess of Themyscira. Her family certainly has no shortage of gold, and she never worries about food, clothing, shelter, or transportation.

In contrast, in Marvel, aside from Iron Man and Thor, the mainstream superheroes don't seem to be wealthy.

Spider-Man goes without saying; the Hulk is a miserable wretch; Black Widow and Hawkeye are just hired muscle.

Captain America isn't rich either.

The Fantastic Four almost run their legs off trying to attract investment.

On the contrary, the supervillains, after abandoning their principles, are doing better and better.

Uh... I've digressed.

Wang Bo rubbed his temples, reining in his发散性思维, and looked directly at the woman before him. Since Wonder Woman had decided to help the humans of this world, she wouldn't give up halfway.

After all, no matter what, she was still a superhero.

Wang Bo thought for a moment and replied, "Diana, this world does need you, but before that, you must understand one thing: this world already has me, and I will help this world. You can leave this world with peace of mind."

Diana looked Wang Bo up and down a few times and said, "You mean you're stronger than me?"

Wang Bo said, "Do you know a man named Steve?"

Diana shook her head and said, "No."

Wang Bo immediately broke into a smile and said slowly, "Yes, I think I am stronger than you."

Diana: ... "What makes you think you're stronger than me?"

"Just because you don't know Steve?"

"What does Steve have to do with this?" Diana was very puzzled.

Wang Bo said slowly, "Actually, whether it's you or me, we are both in a growth phase, and our power increases every day. But the fact that you don't know Steve shows one thing: before leaving your world, you had never left Themyscira."

Diana was taken aback.

Yes, Wang Bo had hit the mark. Before coming to this world, she had indeed never left Themyscira, always living on the island with her family and the Amazon warriors.

Wang Bo continued, "Having never left Themyscira, you are still just a fledgling girl who can't even freely control your lightning powers. I think with my current strength, defeating you is no problem."

Diana looked at Wang Bo with displeasure, feeling that she was being underestimated.

"Since you think so, I can give you a chance to prove it," Diana challenged.

Wang Bo responded without hesitation, "Fine, you choose the place."

Just then, Diana's companion suddenly said, "How about the desert? Open terrain, sparsely populated, no need to hold back—you can go all out."

"The desert," Diana nodded and said slowly.

Wang Bo smiled slightly and said, "Fine."

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The next second, he and Diana appeared together in the desert—the Sahara, the largest desert in the world.

To be honest, Wang Bo had been to this place several times before; it wasn't unfamiliar to him.

He chose a spot with very open terrain.

"Ready?" Wang Bo said.

Bang!

In an instant, Diana was already in front of Wang Bo, her fist slamming into his face, sending him flying hundreds of meters away, leaving a long trench in the desert sand.

"Your reaction disappoints me," Diana said.

Wang Bo rubbed his slightly reddened nose, stood up from the sand, and shook off the dust. "The one who ambushed me sure has nerve to say that, Miss Diana."

Diana said, "You should understand that enemies won't wait for you to be ready."

As she spoke, she was still hundreds of meters away, but by the time her words faded, she had already sprinted to Wang Bo's front, her seemingly delicate fist once again smashing toward his face without hesitation.

Wang Bo quickly raised his hand to block the punch.

"Whoa, what a powerful fist," Wang Bo remarked.

Diana's punch was full of force—at least over a thousand tons—though it was nothing compared to her peak strength of millions of tons, it was still terrifying.

At least among humans, it could run rampant.

Seeing her fist blocked by Wang Bo, Diana wasn't surprised but instead smiled slightly.

The next second, violent lightning burst from her fist, like an avalanche or tsunami, knocking Wang Bo's hand aside and slamming into his face again.

Bang!

Wang Bo flew back over a thousand meters like a cannonball, smashing through rock after rock.

"It seems your fists aren't as formidable as your boasts," Diana said slowly.

Wang Bo stood up from the sand again, shook off the dust, and rubbed his nose. "Do you have to aim for my face?"

He felt like he was about to get a nosebleed.

But Diana's expression turned serious. That punch just now, though not at full strength, had used about half her power, yet it hadn't even knocked his nose crooked.

Such defense was truly terrifying.

"He can still stand after two punches. Diana, be careful—that guy is a real monster," Diana's companion quickly warned her.

"You don't have to tell me; I know," Diana said, taking the sword and shield from her back.

This meant she was going all out.

On the other hand, after taking two punches, Wang Bo was also a bit angry. Originally, he had intended to crush Diana, but instead, he had capsized in a ditch.

Thinking carefully, Diana had been in this world for over half a year, constantly fighting monsters. It was only natural that her strength had increased. He had been far too presumptuous.
