Chapter 023: Son of the Sun God

The blonde woman was startled when a man suddenly appeared before her. Reflexively, she turned her bow and aimed an arrow at Wang Bo's forehead, letting it fly.

Wang Bo found it both amusing and exasperating. He flicked a finger, sending the arrow that was about to hit his brow flying away.

“Calm down. I’m not your enemy.”

The blonde woman naturally wouldn’t take Wang Bo at his word. Seeing that the arrow was useless, she abandoned her bow and swung her fist at Wang Bo’s nose. Wang Bo finally understood why Diana always liked to punch his face during their first sparring session—it was an Amazon tradition.

He quickly raised his hand to block the blonde woman’s attack.

At the same time, he extended his other hand and caught a bullet aimed at the blonde woman.

As for the bullets aimed at him, Wang Bo didn’t need to dodge at all. He let them strike his body, producing crisp clinking sounds. If bullets like these could break his skin, he might as well be dead.

Boom!

At that moment, a tremendous thunderclap exploded above Themyscira.

Wang Bo looked up and saw a familiar woman riding thunder from afar, hurtling toward him. Rolling thunder shook the surroundings, and massive bolts of lightning crashed down onto the sea surface.

In an instant, unceasing thunder engulfed the soldiers in the small boats.

In a flash, desperate screams rose one after another.

Wang Bo couldn’t help but mourn for those who had intruded upon Themyscira.

He had seen Wonder Woman before, and once he realized this was Themyscira, he understood that the plot had changed.

According to the original plot, after a spy who had stolen vital intelligence crashed onto Themyscira, Diana rescued him. The pursuing navy then clashed with the Amazons of Themyscira, killing many of them.

Among the fallen was even Hippolyta’s sister, Diana’s aunt… Antiope.

But unfortunately, that was only the original plot.

Because these people didn’t know that the one they were about to face was no longer the rookie Wonder Woman fresh out of the gate, but a Wonder Woman who had fought many monsters in another world and had already awakened the power of Zeus.

Facing a demigod who had grown and could command lightning, they had no chance to resist.

After a few thunderbolts fell from the sky, the German navy that had invaded Themyscira was annihilated by Diana.

Then, like a bolt of lightning, Diana descended before Wang Bo.

Wang Bo couldn’t help but break into a cheerful smile. “Surprise, surprise, I’ve come to find you again…”

Wham!

Before Wang Bo could finish his sentence, he saw a fist crackling with lightning slam hard into his nose. A tremendous impact exploded.

The next second, Wang Bo flew backward like a cannonball for hundreds of meters, shattering rock after rock along the way.

The blonde woman stared at Diana in shock.

From the man’s attitude earlier, she could tell that he seemed to be Diana’s friend—likely someone Diana had met during her disappearance.

But the question was, wasn’t Diana’s punch too harsh? Was she trying to kill her own friend?

Or had she been mistaken? Maybe he wasn’t Diana’s friend at all, but her enemy.

For a moment, the blonde woman became wary.

Boom…

Amid the thunderous explosion, Diana suddenly vanished.

Then, a massive blast came from behind. The blonde woman quickly turned around and was astonished to see Diana, wreathed in lightning, engaged in an earth-shattering battle with the mysterious man.

Yes, an earth-shattering battle.

Because the two were incredibly powerful—every punch and kick carried world-destroying force.

When Diana threw a punch, the man was sent flying hundreds of meters.

And when the man lightly kicked, he could send a massive boulder flying—one that even ten of her couldn’t budge.

As the two fought, the earth itself groaned, thunder and flame roared, and the air and space trembled. This scene, like a mythical battle, utterly stunned the blonde woman.

She knew that Diana was the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods.

So she wasn’t surprised that Diana could fight like a god.

But who was this mysterious man? How could he fight Diana to such a standstill? Was he also a god? Yet the only god left in the world should be Ares, the god of war.

And this man was clearly not Ares.

So who was he?

“Antiope!”

Just then, Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons and ruler of Themyscira, arrived hurriedly with a group of female warriors. When they saw Diana and Wang Bo fighting, they stood dumbfounded.

Dismounting, Hippolyta walked up to her sister and asked anxiously, “What’s going on? Who is that man?”

“I don’t know,” Antiope shook her head.

Hippolyta said, “He bears the power of the sun.”

“The power of the sun?” Antiope realized, “He is the sun god Apollo!”

“No, you and I both know that Ares killed all the Greek gods. He is not the sun god Apollo.”

“But you said he bears the power of the sun.”

“Yes, he is very likely the son of the sun god.”

“You mean he is also a demigod.” Antiope was somewhat surprised but also felt a sense of clarity. Yes, Diana was Zeus’s daughter, a natural demigod.

Only another god or demigod could fight a demigod to this extent.

Antiope said, “Could he also be a godk—”

“Enough.” Hippolyta stopped her before she could utter that forbidden word.

Antiope immediately understood and lowered her head.

Boom!

The next second, the battlefield underwent a startling change. After a prolonged struggle, a victor emerged. Wang Bo punched Diana away, then instantly caught up to her flying form and kicked her into the ground.

With a dull thud, Diana crashed into the earth, creating a crater over a hundred meters in diameter.

Then, Wang Bo appeared before Diana and threw a punch at her head.

But his fist stopped right in front of her straight nose.

“What, still want to continue?”

Diana grumpily slapped away Wang Bo’s fist, stood up, and opened her arms to give him a warm hug. “Welcome to Themyscira, my friend.”

Wang Bo sighed and said, “What a warm welcome.”

Meanwhile, seeing Wang Bo and Diana embrace, Hippolyta breathed a sigh of relief. At least now she was certain that this man, suspected to be the son of the sun god, was not an enemy of Themyscira.
