Chapter 024: First Battle

Hippolyta, seeing the two reconciled, stepped forward and said, "Can anyone tell me what exactly is going on?"

Diana said generously, "Let me introduce you, Mother. This is my friend, Wang Bo. He is a very powerful warrior, even stronger than me."

Hippolyta looked at Wang Bo, her gaze seeming somewhat puzzled. "Young man, I sense the power of the sun in you. What is your relationship with the sun god Apollo?"

Diana looked at Wang Bo in surprise. "You have a connection with the sun god?"

"No, I have no connection with the sun god," Wang Bo said. "It's just that I can absorb the sun's power to strengthen myself."

Antiope stepped forward and said, "So you are not a son of the sun god."

"Yes," Wang Bo nodded. He knew well whose son he was.

Antiope said suspiciously, "If you are not a demigod, how could you defeat Diana? Humans cannot defeat gods."

"Why can't humans defeat gods?"

"Because gods..."

"Enough, Antiope." Hippolyta stopped her sister. "The facts are clear enough. Let's set this aside for now. What I want to ask is, young man, what is your relationship with those invaders?"

Diana nodded and said to Wang Bo, "I also want to ask you, why are you wearing the same clothes as those invaders?"

Wang Bo said helplessly, "I've told you before, every time I go to a new world, I take on a new identity. This time, my identity is a German sailor."

"So you brought a large group of sailors to Themyscira to find me?"

"To be precise, we were chasing a spy and ended up on Themyscira by accident. Honestly, if I hadn't seen Themyscira, I wouldn't have been sure that I had actually come to your world."

Wang Bo couldn't help but smile. "We haven't been apart long, and yet we meet again. In a sense, we are truly fated, Diana."

Diana rolled her eyes at Wang Bo.

Hippolyta scanned Wang Bo with an expressionless face. If not for her顾忌 of Wang Bo's formidable power, she would have already started driving him away. But now, she could only change the subject. "And the spy?"

Diana said, "I rescued him."

At that time, while she was alone familiarizing herself with the power within her, she suddenly sensed someone invading Themyscira, so she rescued the intruder.

But before she could settle that person, she sensed others invading Themyscira.

So Diana had to hastily leave that person aside, ride the lightning, and fly over to annihilate the German sailors who had invaded Themyscira.

After listening to Diana's explanation, Hippolyta led the elders of Themyscira to convene a meeting.

At the same time, she ordered the spy to be brought to the place where everyone was meeting. Because Wang Bo was Diana's friend, he was permitted to observe the meeting.

Before long, a man was brought in by an Amazon warrior.

The man clearly had no idea what was happening here. With a reluctant expression, he looked around at the surrounding Amazon warriors and asked, "Where is this place? And who are you?"

An Amazon warrior displeasedly kicked the man in the back of his knee, forcing him to kneel before Hippolyta.

Hippolyta said, "That should be my question. Who are you, and what is your name?"

"I am... I am..."

The man clearly did not want to tell the truth, but at that moment, the rope binding him emitted an astonishing heat. The man couldn't help but shout, "I am Steve Trevor, a spy. What is this? Why can't I help but tell the truth?"

Hippolyta said, "No one can lie before the Lasso of Truth."

Diana couldn't help but glance at Wang Bo. If she remembered correctly, when she and Wang Bo first met, he had asked if she knew Steve Trevor.

She had said no at the time, but now this man had appeared.

What did this mean?

But soon, Diana had no mind to think about that, because she learned a shocking piece of information from Steve Trevor's mouth.

Outside, a war was raging—a war that had engulfed dozens of countries, a vast war that had already killed millions and wounded tens of millions.

A war of unimaginable horror.

Diana immediately realized it was World War I.

After the interrogation ended, Steve Trevor was taken away and temporarily imprisoned.

Diana walked up to her mother and asked, "What do you plan to do with this man, Mother?"

"Lock him up."

"No, I think you should let him leave here."

"No, I disagree."

Unsurprisingly, Hippolyta refused Diana's proposal.

"Why?" Diana asked, puzzled. "You heard what he said. Out there, many people are being hurt. Millions have already died, Mother."

"But he has discovered Themyscira. I cannot take that risk, Diana." Hippolyta looked at her daughter and said slowly, "If I let him go and he returns to tell others, what if they come to attack us? Do you want me to gamble the safety of Themyscira to let go of an insignificant man? Diana."

Diana said, "I have a way to avoid that."

"What way?" Hippolyta asked.

Diana couldn't help but look at Wang Bo, and Hippolyta also looked over.

Wang Bo looked helplessly at Diana. So your plan is to rely on me?

But when he saw Hippolyta also looking at him, he had to say, "I am proficient in some magic. I can erase Steve Trevor's memories of entering Themyscira."

Diana nodded with satisfaction. "That way, we can let him go. Mother, you wouldn't want a man locked up on the island, would you?"

Hippolyta asked, "Are you sure this won't cause problems?"

"Yes," Wang Bo said.

Hippolyta pondered, unsure whether to trust Wang Bo.

Diana said, "Maybe you don't trust Wang Bo, but you should trust me, Mother."

In the end, Hippolyta agreed to Diana's request.

Diana took Wang Bo to the place where Steve Trevor was imprisoned.

Steve saw Wang Bo and Diana approaching and couldn't help asking, "Have you decided? Are you going to let me go? Or..."

Diana said, "We have decided to let you leave here."

Steve said gratefully, "Thank you. Truly, thank you so much."
