Chapter 025: The Black Hand of War

Ever since being imprisoned by the Amazon warriors of Themyscira, Steve Trevor had a bad feeling. Now, suddenly hearing that they were willing to let him go.

This was completely beyond Steve's expectations. His gratitude was entirely genuine.

Diana continued, "But Themyscira is a hidden place. We can let you leave, but we must erase all your memories of entering Themyscira."

Steve Trevor was taken aback and asked cautiously, "How do you plan to erase my memories?"

Wang Bo said, "With magic, of course."

"Magic?" Steve Trevor wanted to laugh but held it in. He said slowly, "Listen, I don't know who you people are or what methods you intend to use, but magic..."

Snap!

Wang Bo suddenly snapped his fingers. The light in Steve Trevor's eyes instantly faded.

Diana said, "You should have let him finish."

Wang Bo said calmly, "Judging by his expression, he clearly doesn't believe in magic. So I think there's no need for idle talk. Just wipe this memory directly. After all, once the memory is erased, he won't remember anything about Themyscira."

Diana: ...

Wang Bo began to erase all of Steve Trevor's memories after entering Themyscira, while also implanting a new set of memories. For instance, that he flew a plane, evaded German pursuit all the way, eventually crashed into the sea, luckily encountered a ship, and with their help returned to London.

As for Themyscira, it never appeared in his memories.

"What do you think?" Wang Bo asked.

Diana thought for a moment and said, "Perfect."

"Then I'll send him back to London."

"Go ahead."

With Diana's consent, Wang Bo snapped his fingers, and Steve Trevor instantly vanished from before the two of them. Presumably, he was now back in Britain.

When he came to, Themyscira would be completely erased from his memory. He wouldn't remember ever having set foot on Themyscira.

After Wang Bo had done all this and sent Steve off, he realized that due to his intervention, the plot of Wonder Woman seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

At the very least, the romance between Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor seemed to have been cut short by him.

And this was not the first time Wang Bo had done such a thing.

In the world of The Mummy, the relationship between Evelyn and O'Connell had also gone separate ways due to his interference.

In the world of Detective Dee, Yuan Zhen and Yin Ruiji had not come to fruition either.

In the fairy tale world, the feelings between Belle and the Beast had ultimately fizzled out.

In the White Snake world, Xiao Bai had been lured away by him, so naturally she and Xu Xian had no fate together.

And now, between Diana and Steve Trevor... At this moment, Wang Bo realized that he seemed to have quite the potential as a breakup master.

After sending Steve off, Wang Bo and Diana went back to report.

In the meeting room, Hippolyta listened to Diana's account, ultimately said nothing, and waved her hand for Wang Bo and Diana to withdraw.

After the two left the meeting room, Diana stretched and said, "The annoying matter is finally settled. Now let me take you on a tour of Themyscira. Trust me, the scenery here will not disappoint you, because it is a truly enchanting place."

Wang Bo said, "So, you plan to stay on Themyscira and not stop that war?"

"You mean World War I."

"Yes." Wang Bo was not surprised that Diana knew about World War I, after all, she was also a time traveler who had once been to modern society and stayed for over half a year.

Knowing about past wars was not surprising at all.

Diana said, "If it were the old me, I would definitely stop this war. But now, I agree with a saying my mother once said: Not everyone is worth saving."

"Even if I stop this war, World War II will still break out."

"Maybe my intervention would lead to worse outcomes?"

Wang Bo couldn't help but say, "After training in other worlds for half a year, you really are different from before."

"As if you knew the old me."

"I know a little, I suppose." Wang Bo nodded and said, "The old you, upon hearing about this, would surely think it was all Ares' fault, believe that this war was instigated by Ares, and want to go eliminate Ares."

"But now I know that not every war is started by Ares. The human desire and fervor for war frighten me," Diana said.

Wang Bo couldn't help but say, "It seems Shinonono Tabane has had a great influence on you."

Wang Bo felt that Diana's current state must have something to do with Shinonono Tabane.

After all, the Diana who first arrived in the Pacific Rim world was definitely a naive young girl. Her current maturity was definitely Tabane's doing.

That woman had successfully left her mark on Diana.

Although Diana was still a hero now, she was no longer that naive hero.

"I am very grateful to Tabane." Upon hearing Wang Bo mention Shinonono Tabane, a hint of nostalgic smile appeared on Diana's face. "She helped me a lot and is my good friend."

Wang Bo shrugged.

Although Diana was reluctant to get involved in World War I, unfortunately, this time she couldn't escape.

"Diana, I know you hate this fight, but I have to remind you that World War I in this world is vastly different from the one in other worlds."

"Different? How?" Diana asked.

"In this world's World War I, a deity is meddling. If we don't defeat this deity, the death toll of this World War I might be even higher than in other worlds."

Diana was taken aback. She knew Wang Bo wouldn't lie to her about this.

And hearing Wang Bo say that a deity was meddling in this world's war, Diana instinctively thought of one god.

"Ares."

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Exactly, the God of War."

Diana's gaze instantly sharpened, and traces of lightning began to emanate from her body.

"If this war is truly instigated by Ares, then I have no choice but to stop him. That is my duty as an Amazon."

She had heard from her mother since childhood about the terror of Ares, but that was not a reason for her to back down.

After all, it was her duty as an Amazon.

Moreover, she was no longer alone now.
