Chapter 028: The Discovered Little Move

Diana's use of the Sword of Hephaestus did not mean that she could only wield that blade; rather, among the weapons of Themyscira, the Sword of Hephaestus was the most powerful.

In fact, she had been trained by Antiope since childhood, and besides the sword, she had also learned to use the spear, staff, and other weapons.

Gungnir was naturally no exception.

After being armed to the teeth, Diana was eager to try. "Can we go now?"

"Wait a moment, let me finish a spell."

Wang Bo drew on his magic power, using the technique of scattering beans to summon soldiers, conjuring a thousand heavenly soldiers. He dispersed them to various corners of New York, then began to chant an incantation.

The Golden Grand Art—this was one of Wang Bo's trump cards against Ares.

Once the Golden Grand Art was completed, Wang Bo estimated that this battle would be secure.

A mere Ares was nothing to worry about.

An hour passed, two hours passed. Diana asked impatiently, "What exactly are you preparing?"

"An ultra-large-scale spell. Once completed, I can achieve whatever I wish within a certain domain, even distort reality, like a god," Wang Bo explained in a low voice.

"That is truly a terrifying spell." Suddenly, a deep voice came.

Wang Bo and Diana were both startled.

They turned their heads and saw a gentleman in a long trench coat and hat standing at the entrance of the alley.

Given Wang Bo and Diana's strength, they had not noticed this gentleman, nor when he had appeared there.

"Ares," Diana immediately realized. In London, the only one who could evade both her and Wang Bo's perception and approach them quietly was that god in hiding.

The other smiled, took off his hat, revealing a gaunt face. "Nice to meet you, my sister. Please forgive my uninvited arrival."

Diana, holding Gungnir, smiled slightly. "This is perfect; it saves me the trouble of looking for you."

Wang Bo couldn't help but sigh. "I thought I could finish this spell."

Ares glanced at him and said, "Chanting an incantation in London, creating magical resonance—what made you think you could hide it from me, young human?"

Just now, while he was at home organizing documents and making plans to intensify World War I, he suddenly felt a peculiar magical resonance in London.

In this era, not many people could wield magic.

This aroused Ares' vigilance. At this critical juncture, the usually calm London suddenly produced a subtle magical resonance, making him suspect that someone was trying to target him.

Driven by vigilance and curiosity, Ares began to trace the source of the magical resonance.

After spending some time, he finally found the enemy.

When he saw Diana, he immediately understood—yes, this was his enemy.

After all, the divine power within the young woman before him could not be deceived; it was the bloodline of his philandering father.

Later, when he heard Wang Bo describe how terrifying this spell was, he decisively revealed himself, wanting to interrupt the spell. After all, even the God of War was not confident in facing a god within a certain domain.

And also his father's daughter, his sister.

Ares' words made Wang Bo slap his forehead. He admitted that Ares had a point. Although his actions were subtle, Ares was still a god; detecting this was not surprising.

Undoubtedly, he seemed to have underestimated this god.

"It looks like we have to do this the hard way," Wang Bo said to Diana. Since his plan had been discovered by Ares, Ares would never allow Wang Bo to complete this spell.

So Wang Bo decisively stopped the spell, recalled the heavenly soldiers outside, and replenished his magic power.

Ares paid no attention to Wang Bo's words. Looking at Diana, he said, "You want to fight me, my sister? We should be family."

Diana did not regard Ares as family. "You should not interfere in the wars among humans, Ares."

Ares couldn't help but laugh. "You are still too young, my sister. You do not yet know how ugly humans can be. Even without me, they would still slaughter each other. They are such a foolish race, not worth your saving."

Diana remained unwavering. "Perhaps they are more foolish than imagined, but that has nothing to do with you, Ares. They are indeed insignificant, but they are kind. Maybe some people crave war, but not everyone does. Ares, you have dragged too many innocent people into the flames of war for your own selfish desires."

Holding Gungnir, Diana pointed its tip at Ares. "Now, leave here and never interfere in human affairs again. I will let you go."

Ares' gentle smile faded, replaced by a cold expression. "You want to go to war with me for the sake of humans, my sister?"

"If you refuse to leave, then yes."

"Right here?" Ares sneered. "This is London, with millions of people. Two gods fighting here—what kind of casualties do you think that would cause? Perhaps this city will be destroyed."

This was not out of mercy on Ares' part, but a deliberate attempt to pressure Diana, making her hesitate. If Diana fought with restraint, he could easily defeat this sister.

As for that human, he had never taken him seriously from the start.

It must be said that these words put immense pressure on Diana, calming her impulsive mind.

Perhaps London was not a good place for battle.

Seeing Diana's expression, Ares' face showed a smile of triumph.

But at that moment, Wang Bo clapped his hands together, manipulating space, and directly pulled Diana and Ares into the Mirror Space.

Ares and Diana sensed the change in space and simultaneously looked at Wang Bo.

"This is the Mirror Space. No matter how fiercely you fight inside, it will not affect the outside," Wang Bo said confidently.

Diana smiled slightly, her battle spirit boiling. She knew that this guy would never let her down.

Ares glanced at Wang Bo. This human mage far exceeded his expectations. It seemed he was a worthy opponent. He admitted he had underestimated Wang Bo.

"But even so, you are still no match for me." As Ares spoke, his clothes began to burn, replaced by a suit of hard armor.

"Since you have chosen death, I will grant you death!"
