To the astonishment of the women, the seemingly empty sea in front of them began to ripple violently like waves.
Immediately afterwards, a huge crack, like a curtain being drawn back, slowly appeared on the barrier.
Through the crack, a lush and majestic island, filled with classical Greek architecture, revealed its true form.
The "Eden" sounded its horn and sailed in through the crevice with an air of grandeur, docking beside the pristine white sand beach of Paradise Island.
Su Hui's arrival was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly alarming the entire Paradise Island.
"Intruders have broken in!"
"It's a man! A man broke in!"
A piercing alarm blared through the sky. In an instant, countless agile figures emerged from all directions of the island.
They are Amazonians.
Groups of tall, fit, and powerful female warriors poured out of the temple, the jungle, and the training grounds.
They wore various styles of bronze or silver armor, which accentuated their strong thighs and full breasts. Their skin displayed healthy tan, white, and black hues, a perfect blend of racial features from all over the world.
Everyone's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, filled with vigilance and hostility.
Armed with spears, swords, and bows and arrows, they quickly assembled on the beach into a huge semi-circular battle formation, completely surrounding the massive cruise ship and Su Hui and his entourage as they disembarked.
The legion of thousands of Amazonian female warriors exuded a murderous aura; the sheer power emanating from them was enough to instill fear in any mortal army.
however,
Su Hui simply admired the beautiful scenery before him with great interest.
To him, this was not an army, but a bountiful orchard waiting to be harvested.
The battle formation parted to create a path, and two figures slowly emerged from the crowd.
Leading the group was a graceful blonde woman, wearing a golden crown, a white robe, and holding a golden scepter symbolizing power.
Her face was mature and beautiful; time had not left many marks on her face, but instead had given her a majestic and wise demeanor befitting an empress.
She was Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons.
And standing beside her was a woman whose beauty could make the world pale in comparison.
She had long, jet-black hair that cascaded freely over her shoulders. Her features were as exquisite as the most perfect sculpture of ancient Greece, and her azure eyes were clearer and deeper than the waters of the Aegean Sea, yet they carried a hint of divine aloofness and majesty.
Her figure was tall and well-proportioned, unlike the frailty of ordinary women, but rather full of strength and healthy beauty.
Bronze armor encased her proud figure, and the golden double eagle emblem on her chest gleamed.
His bare arms and thighs were sleek and strong, exuding explosive power. At his waist, an ancient-looking sword hung on one side, while a coiled golden rope was wrapped around the other.
She is the princess of Paradise Island, the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods, a demigod—Diana Prince, the future Wonder Woman.
"man!"
Diana spoke first, her voice clear and powerful, like the beating of a war drum: "This is Paradise Island, not a place for you! How did you break through the gods' barrier? State your purpose now and leave, or you will face the wrath of the entire Amazon!"
As she spoke, she drew the Vulcan sword from her waist.
The divine sword, forged by Hephaestus, the god of fire, and said to be able to sever the electrons that make up atoms, was incredibly sharp. It reflected a chilling light in the sunlight and was aimed directly at Su Hui's throat.
A powerful demigod aura emanated from her, making the surrounding air feel heavy.
Faced with the hostility of thousands of female warriors and the death threat of a demigod, Su Hui didn't even lift an eyelid.
His gaze roamed unabashedly over Diana's powerful, perfect curves, from her resolute face to her full breastplate and her long, straight legs in her combat boots.
"Olympian bloodline, fairly pure. Good-looking too, and with an exceptional physique."
Su Hui nodded in satisfaction, as if he were evaluating a product.
He ignored the sword in Diana's hand, took a step forward, and the Amazon warriors around him immediately raised their weapons in alarm.
"I have come here for only one thing."
Su Hui's gaze swept past Diana, over Queen Hippolyta behind her, and over the thousands of valiant Amazon warriors, a domineering and arrogant smile curling at the corner of his lips.
"From this day forward, you, and this island, belong to me."
This extremely arrogant declaration exploded like a thunderclap across the entire beach.
All the Amazons were stunned, then their faces lit up with incredible anger.
They are the people protected by Zeus, a proud and warlike race. For thousands of years, no man has ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of them.
Diana was so angry that her pretty face turned red. She had never seen such an arrogant and rude man!
"you wanna die!"
Without needing further words, Queen Hippolyta, utterly enraged, raised her scepter high and issued a chilling command.
"Attack! Let him see the price a mortal pays for intruding into the realm of gods!"
The moment the command was given, thousands of longbows were drawn to their full strength at the same time.
"put!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!
Thousands of arrows, like a black swarm of locusts, blocked out the sunlight, their sharp whistling cutting through the air, transforming into a dense, impenetrable rain of death, pouring down on the arrogant man in the center of the beach.
Faced with a rain of arrows that could instantly turn an armored legion into a pincushion, Su Hui did not even move.
The women behind him, including Selena and Pamela, showed no fear whatsoever, only pity and mockery as they looked at the overconfident Amazons.
Arrows rained down, threatening to riddle Su Hui and the woman beside him with bullets.
A strange scene happened.
All the arrows that flew towards Su Hui seemed to hit an invisible wall when they came within three meters of Su Hui's body, and they all hovered in mid-air.
The densely packed arrows formed a huge, curved black curtain, with the arrowheads less than a foot away from Su Hui's face.
time,
At this moment, it was as if the pause button had been pressed.
All the Amazon warriors were stunned. Their hands, still in the firing position, held their bows, but the expressions on their faces, which had been filled with resolute anger, froze into utter shock. They had never seen such a horrific sight.
"This... what kind of power is this?"
Queen Hippolyta's hand holding the scepter trembled slightly. She could feel that it was an absolute authority that she could not comprehend at all, one that transcended divine power.
Diana's pupils contracted sharply as she sensed a tremor and...fear emanating from the depths of her blood from that invisible force.
Su Hui's lips curled into a contemptuous smile. He didn't even bother to look at the arrows, and simply snapped his fingers.
Click... click click...
The thousands of arrows suspended in mid-air, along with the spears flying behind them, twisted and shattered inch by inch, starting from their arrowheads, and finally turned into dust that was blown away by the sea breeze and disappeared without a trace.
silence.
Deathly silence.
The only sound on the beach was the crashing of the waves.
Thousands of the Amazon's most elite warriors, whose proud volleys of fire were no match for their opponent, who wouldn't even dare to lift a finger.
This overwhelming disparity in strength caused cracks to appear in their faith and pride.
No! The Amazons will never surrender!
Diana shouted, forcefully suppressing the shock in her heart. As the guardian of Paradise Island, she could not back down.
She suddenly exerted force with her feet, transforming herself into an arrow released from a bow. The Vulcan Sword in her hand slashed through the sky with the momentum to cut through everything, aiming straight for Su Hui's heart.
This sword strike contained her demigod power; it was as fast as lightning and as powerful as splitting mountains.
However, what seemed like an incredibly fast sword strike to mortals was as slow as a snail crawling within Su Hui's domain.
He didn't even look at the sword, but simply extended his index and middle fingers casually.
"clang!"
A crisp metallic clang rang out.
Diana's Vulcan sword, powerful enough to cleave atoms, was effortlessly caught by Su Hui with just two fingers.
The sword tip was less than a centimeter from his chest, but it could not go any further.
Diana's pretty face flushed red. She used all her strength to try to push the sword forward a little further, but the divine sword seemed to be held in place by an unshakable mountain, and remained motionless.
"I must say that your so-called 'demigod body' has given you some control over the rules, but compared to a true demigod, it is still far inferior."
Su Hui gave a nonchalant comment.
He gently twisted his wrist.
"what!"
Diana felt an irresistible force coming from the hilt of the sword, and her hand was instantly ripped open, bleeding profusely. She could no longer hold the divine sword that had been with her for so many years.
The Vulcan Sword flew out of his hand, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and was caught steadily by Su Hui.
He weighed it in his hand and casually tossed it to Kara behind him: "Take this and play with it. It's better than those metal pieces you used before."
"Thank you, Master!"
Kara excitedly took the sword and, like a child who had received a new toy, waved it around a couple of times with great delight.
This scene completely shattered Diana's will to fight.
Her strongest weapon and most powerful attack were like child's play in front of her opponent.
"Diana!"
Queen Hippolyta cried out in alarm and rushed forward desperately to protect her daughter.
Su Hui ignored her; his gaze fell on the golden rope around Diana's waist.
With a wave of his hand, the "Lasso of Truth," crafted from the belt of Gaia, the goddess of the earth, and capable of making anyone bound speak the truth, flew automatically into his hand.
The golden rope seemed to come alive in his hands, flying out like a serpent and instantly binding Queen Hippolyta, who was rushing up, and the distraught Diana tightly.
The mother and daughter were bound together by the lasso, pressed tightly against each other, unable to move.
"tell me,"
Su Hui toyed with the other end of the lasso, walked up to them, and asked softly in a voice like a devil's whisper, "You, the queen and princess of the Amazons, what is your deepest, truest desire?"
This problem, through the magic of the Lasso of Truth, directly affects the depths of their souls.
Diana and Hippolyta trembled violently, their eyes filled with struggle and fear.
They wanted to rebel, to lie, to uphold the millennia-old dignity of the Amazons. But before the power of the artifact, all their will seemed pale and powerless.
Their cheeks flushed bright red at a visible speed, like ripe apples.
"I...I long for it..."
Hippolyta's voice trembled, filled with shame, "I long for... a truly powerful man... who can conquer me, conquer the entire Amazon... so that I... so that we may no longer bear the burden of protection..."
"No... Mother..."
Diana looked at her mother in despair as she uttered these outrageous words.
But the next second, her own mouth opened uncontrollably, uttering a desire even more explicit than her mother's.
"I...I long to be completely...possessed...by the most powerful force..."
Her voice trailed off, trembling with sobs, “I long to be beneath him… to abandon all pride and resistance… to become his… most obedient servant…”
Two shocking truths, resonating through the Lasso of Truth, were clearly transmitted across the entire beach and reached the ears of every Amazon warrior.
Everyone was petrified.
Their faith collapsed at that moment.
Their proud queen, their princess whom they revered as a god, secretly longed to be conquered and possessed by a man.
What about their thousands of years of perseverance, their independence, their pride? A joke?
Su Hui smiled with satisfaction as the mother and daughter stared at him, filled with shame and indignation, wishing they could die immediately.
He loosened the noose, stretched out his hands, and placed them on their smooth foreheads.
"As you wish."
