Ch: 331-340
Chapter 331 Let's talk about this somewhere else
"I couldn't help it. You were still unconscious when I left to find Kara, so of course, I couldn't take you with me."
Leon teased, "After all, you wouldn't want Iron Man to be a burden, right, Tony?"
Tony's eyelids twitched, and he reluctantly sat back down in his chair.
"You don't understand your older brother's thoughts at all, you brat."
The three of them were currently in an open forest outside Metropolis.
Tony's equipment was all brought by him from Marvel and stored in the World Ring Leon gave him.
Inside, he had already built several armor production lines, which Jarvis kept running continuously.
"So what did you all do?"
"I finally found Kara's location, but I didn't expect you to get there first."
After Tony and Kara got to know each other, he questioned Leon again.
He swiped his right hand across the projection screen in front of him, opening a video from a series of files.
The screen began to play a combat recording of a mercenary squad.
First, a meteor fell from the sky in the dark screen, striking the courtyard guarded by mercenaries, kicking up dust.
Then, various urgent commands came from the shaking screen.
Someone ordered to protect Young Master Rex.
Upon reaching the meteor crater, everyone discovered that what had fallen from the sky was a huge oval-shaped capsule.
The materials and technology used for the capsule were all something out of a science fiction movie.
A mercenary was ordered to go forward and check, while the others held their guns at the ready, prepared to shoot at any moment.
The mercenary who went forward carefully tapped the capsule's outer shell with his gun butt.
The next moment, the capsule opened with a whoosh, revealing a blonde little girl inside, sculpted like jade.
The video suddenly became quiet.
The little girl opened her eyes, saw dozens of gun barrels in front of her, and showed a look of panic.
She almost instinctively chose to flee, moving as fast as a cheetah.
Some mercenaries reflexively pulled the trigger.
Then, gunshots rained down continuously.
At the end of the footage, the unconscious little girl was knocked out on the ground, and the continuous bullets only left red marks on her body, unable to even penetrate her skin.
Tony closed the finished video and pointed at the screen.
"After Jarvis and I understood the structure of this World, we determined that this should be a Worldsimilar to a Flashpoint event."
"It's just that the one imprisoned by humans is Supergirl, not Superman."
"Then we found this video in various databases worldwide from ten to thirty years ago."
"We confirmed that when Kara fell to Earth, she landed in the Lex family's estate courtyard in Kansas."
"But as soon as we started investigating the Lex family and LexCorp…"
"You suddenly came back and said you found the person and dealt with the enemy."
Tony rubbed his forehead, "Shouldn't Superman be hesitant, waiting for his external Super Brain to solve the problem?"
"Tony, you can't blame me. You know me. My superpowers are too strong. I don't even need to think; the enemies start confessing their plans to me voluntarily."
Leon stated that his super-enhanced vision and hearing really made it impossible for him to slack off.
Tony shook his head, "Now I think it's a good thing you didn't join the Avengers. If you were there, Captain and I could retire thirty years early."
Leon couldn't help but correct him, "Not quite. From future intelligence, you died in 2023, so it should be retiring 14 years early."
"Well, thank you very much," Tony rolled his eyes.
"Tony, look on the bright side. While you can't help much in combat, you can in other areas."
"What areas? Wait, are you trying to ask for my help now?" Tony looked surprised.
"Hmm…" Leon feigned a difficult expression, "We first need to define what 'asking for help' means."
"Haha, my Leon, I knew you must have a problem you couldn't solve!"
"Come on, tell me. It's not shameful to ask your smart brother for help."
Tony immediately became happy.
Leon was only slightly inferior to him in terms of technological innovation.
Even Superman, with his Super Brain, had to ask him for help.
In fact, by approximation, he was also equivalent to a powerful Kryptonian.
"First, let me clarify, it's not asking for help, just needing your assistance."
Leon said, "You know I need the life codex. I explained that thing to you before, but now the codex is on Kara."
Tony rested his chin on his palm, "I remember you said it was on Clark in this Universe. Why did it change?"
"It's like this…" Leon briefly summarized the situation of this World and his process of rescuing Kara.
As Tony listened, his gaze towards Leon changed.
It was hard to say whether it was relief or triumph.
He raised an eyebrow at Leon, conveying with his eyes: You little rascal have become like me back then, always attracting girls wherever you go. Now you know what a great sin it was when you bothered me at night when you were little, right! The dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon!
Leon returned a speechless look: Compared to you bringing different people home every day, I'm being faithful.
Tony showed a teasing look: Faithful means only focusing on a group of the most beautiful girls?
Kara stood aside, watching the two exchange glances back and forth without speaking, always feeling like they were communicating about something bad.
"What are you two doing?" she asked suspiciously.
Leon and Tony immediately averted their gazes upon hearing her.
"We're discussing how to safely extract the life codex from you," Leon bluffed without changing his expression.
"Communicating with your eyes?" Kara was a little surprised.
Tony was also serious, "That's how scientists are. Inspiration sparks from eye contact."
"So, do you have an idea?" Kara still felt the atmosphere was a bit strange.
It was like that awkward moment when she wet the bed as a child but secretly poured Water on it to fake the scene, only to be discovered.
"Strictly speaking, yes."
Tony tapped an instrument in front of him, and all the overlapping projection screens in front of him went dark.
He put away the table, chairs, and equipment.
He tapped the Ark Reactor on his chest, and his armor materialized, "My idea is that we should leave now."
"You just murdered—no, forcibly killed the President in the White House in Metropolis, and now you're chatting with me in the outskirts of Metropolis."
Tony was somewhat speechless, controlling his armor to activate the thrusters and take off.
"Are you two bored, so you want to find some trouble and then crush a country's retaliation in front of the whole World?"
"If we don't want to waste time, we need to change locations now."
With that, Tony soared into the sky.
Leon and Kara exchanged glances, then shrugged, "Tony's right. Let's go, follow him."
"Then where are we going?" Kara floated up.
"Looking at Tony's flight path, it should be Gotham."
Chapter 332 Barry wants to rebuild the Justice League
In Leon's impression, Gotham was a city full of sin.
The city was enveloped in a decadent atmosphere, and under the misty night, there were murderous intentions and crazy laughter everywhere.
Calling this city Gotham is not really an accurate description.
You could just as well call it Batman, or Two-Face, Penguin, Joker…
They are all labels of this city: dark, chaotic, greedy, and insane.
If this were the Gotham in a normal DC Universe.
Then if Leon went out in his battle suit for a stroll at night, perhaps a guy with ridiculous makeup would come over and ask him, "Why so serious?"
Of course, it's also possible a Batmobile would drift to a stop in front of him, and the dark knight would push open the door and get out, asking him, "Do you bleed?"
But in this rebooted Universe.
The nights in this Gotham are lively, peaceful, and thriving.
Even the sewage flowing in the sewers seems to rumble with the sound of peace.
Tony and Leon looked out at the city from the highest hotel room in Gotham.
The entire city was brightly lit, and the vehicles on the overpasses were like fireflies converging into a river.
"After three days here, I still can't believe this is Gotham."
Tony was a bit depressed, "The Batman here is actually the one played by Michael Keaton, he doesn't have a no-kill rule."
Keaton's "Batman" and "Batman Returns" were released in 1989 and 1992 respectively, and they also exist in Marvel.
Tony had watched them all before he came.
"What's so strange about that? Anything is possible when it comes to Flash."
Leon said, "Besides, you originally planned to use the chaos of Gotham to cover our tracks. Although it's not chaotic here, no one has discovered us, so the goal has been achieved all the same."
Three days passed.
The Kryptonian in space was nowhere to be found.
Although the people on Earth were a bit panicked, the enemy had disappeared, so life went on as usual.
America had already begun peace talks with Atlantis due to Lex Luthor's Death.
At the same time, they were also hunting for Luthor's killer worldwide, shifting the blame to the culprit.
However, the intensity of this manhunt was not strong at all.
Leon and the other two stayed in Gotham for three days, and no one even thought of them as the killers.
And the research on extracting the life codex was also progressing steadily.
It's just that Tony felt a bit bored.
"I wanted to meet Batman before." Tony suddenly said, looking at the brightly lit city outside the window.
"I originally planned to find villains like Joker and Killer Croc, deal with them all, and then throw them in front of Bruce Wayne."
Tony's mouth curved up, "Then I would tell him that his no-kill rule is nothing, that he's just a lunatic who keeps criminals as pets for make-believe."
"But look at this city, the Batman here is Keaton's Batman, he doesn't have a no-kill rule, and all the Jokers and Penguins are long dead!"
Leon didn't expect Tony to be so leisurely, coming to DC and still thinking about slapping Batman's face on the spot.
"You're just idle. Can't you use this time to properly research the extraction of the life codex? Come on, Tony, get a Flash of inspiration and solve the problem."
"Heh, no matter how much inspiration bursts forth, it still needs a basic foundation. Why don't you let your Super Brain think of a solution? The framework has already been built in three days, is this progress slow?"
"It's still slow, Tony, that's where you can't compare to Reed." Leon retorted.
"Mister Fantastic Reed just scratches his head, and he can build anything overnight, while you still have to frown and ponder, waiting for a Flash of inspiration. What a difference."
Tony pouted at the remark: "That's the Reed in the comics! In the comics, I also have a wisdom gem hidden in my head."
Tony, who had read Marvel comics, naturally knew Mister Fantastic Reed.
That guy is actually the smartest person in Marvel; the writer really messed up the settings.
The two occasionally discussed things while looking at the night.
It was now break time.
Extracting the life codex had to be done without harming Kara, so the research was not rushed.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Kara walked in: "Someone is looking for us. They claim to be Batman and Flash."
… … … …
In the living room of the hotel's luxury suite, the clock on the wall ticked.
Leon and the other two sat opposite the two visitors.
One of the two was an old man with white hair, but he was full of vigor.
The old man had one hand resting on the back of the leather sofa, looking unconventional, or perhaps a bit sloppy.
His eyes were unfocused, yet they gave off a sense of constant vigilance.
As if at the slightest disturbance, this old man with a despondent aura could immediately jump up and sweep everything away.
The other person was a reserved young man.
He clasped his hands between his legs, his back slightly hunched, and from time to time, he would Flash a friendly but awkward smile at the three people opposite him.
The silence in the living room was broken only when Leon spoke: "So, why have you come to find us?"
"It's like this, it's like this, we've come to deal with the Kryptonian, in Bruce's Batcave, um, this is Bruce Wayne, he is Batman."
The awkward atmosphere was broken.
Barry Allen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his mouth running like a wild horse unbridled.
"There's Bruce's Super Brain in the Batcave, and we hacked into the networks of various countries and found that you killed Luthor."
Before he finished speaking, he immediately shook his hands vigorously, "Of course, of course, we won't report you. We're here to rebuild the Justice League with you and fight the Kryptonian together!"
"Rebuild the Justice League?" Leon and Tony exchanged glances.
"Yes! I actually came from the future and know a lot of things, this is very important!"
Barry pointed at Leon: "I know you are Clark Kent, also known as Kal-El, you are Superman."
Then he pointed at Kara and Tony, "You are Wonder Woman and Cyborg, you are Diana and Victor!"
The three couldn't help but lean back a few inches, listening to his resolute tone.
Barry continued: "Please listen to me, everyone, because I ran back in time using the Speed Force to save my mother, the World has changed."
"Although I don't know why you haven't started operating as Superheroes yet."
"But we must unite to fight the Kryptonian, otherwise they will destroy Earth!"
"And also, this time Bruce won't target you, Clark, you won't die, so Steppenwolf won't come to Eartheither!"
Barry said, excitedly clenching his fists: "This way, Earth can remain peaceful forever!"
"Although the World has become a bit strange, even your appearances have changed, this time we can avoid many tragedies!"
"What you said makes sense, Barry." Leon said thoughtfully at this point.
"However, the Kryptonian has already been dealt with by me and Kara, and besides, my name isn't Clark; the Clark you're talking about is already dead."
"Ah?" Barry's eyes widened in confusion.
Chapter 333 Extracting the Code of Life
Stepping out of the hotel, Barry Allen was mercilessly slapped in the face by the cold night wind.
He still hadn't recovered.
His brain was as chaotic as if it had been churned into a paste by a juicer.
He just kept walking forward blankly, repeating a few words over and over again.
"Clark's cousin, Superman from another Universe, Iron Man from Marvel…"
"Wonder Woman is still on the island, Cyborg is still a football player, Aquaman hasn't been born, Batman has become an old man, and Superman is dead."
"What have I done…?"
Barry muttered nervously under the dim streetlights.
His disoriented appearance was like Bruce on a certain night decades ago, who lost his parents in a Gotham alley.
The aged Bruce Wayne looked at Barry at this moment and suddenly thought of himself back then.
He stood with his hands in his pockets, watching Barry for a while.
Suddenly he asked, "In your future, am I also Batman?"
Barry's muttering stopped, and he nodded blankly.
He had told Batman this question many times in Wayne Manor.
Before, Batman seemed unconcerned, and he didn't know why he suddenly asked now.
"Also Batman… perhaps this is Bruce Wayne's destiny…" Bruce whispered.
His initial motivation for becoming Batman was to avenge his parents, who died in a robbery.
It was just that the enemy was the darkness of the entire Gotham.
The other Batman should be no exception.
Perhaps Bruce Wayne was destined to become Batman, and his parents were also destined to leave on that night.
"Barry, you traveled through time to save your mother, so your parents are still alive, right?" Bruce said casually.
Barry didn't know why Batman asked this question.
But he still nodded honestly: "That day Mom asked Dad to go to the supermarket to buy ketchup, but she was killed by someone who broke into the house, and Dad was too late when he came back and was also treated as a suspect, with no alibi, so I wanted to change…"
"I didn't ask you the reason for changing the past." Bruce directly interrupted Barry's confession.
He was not interested in such immature and impulsive reasons.
"Ah, I mean… well, they are all still alive." Barry said honestly.
"That's good. It's already a foregone conclusion that your changing the past has caused changes in the World. No matter what kind of bad situation it has caused, go back and find your parents first. Don't pay so much and do nothing."
Bruce waved his hand, opened the door of his Lamborghini, got in, and started the car.
"Cherish your family; you know all this didn't come easily."
He left the last sentence, preparing to step on the accelerator and leave.
But Barry followed, opened the door, and got in.
The young man lowered his head: "Actually, I can't go anywhere."
"The me of this timeline is dead. I went back home, but they all thought I was an Atlantis disguised as a human."
Upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness appeared on Bruce Wayne's usually expressionless face.
This guy named Barry was really a bit unlucky.
He turned to look at Barry: "You can tell them the truth, tell them your identity and what you've sacrificed."
"But…"
"No buts. Atlantis has ceased fire. Go back and reunite with your parents. After explaining clearly, you can sit at the table and have dinner with them the next day. Get out of the car now."
Barry was driven out of the car by Batman.
Bruce Wayne's words, left amidst the roar of the car, drifted with the wind.
"Don't come looking for me unless there's something important."
Just like that, Bruce left.
The person Barry was most familiar with in this World also went home.
Everyone has a home.
Well, Bruce is also alone at home, no different from him.
But he really had nowhere to go.
Unless, as Batman said, he confessed to his parents.
The Kryptonian threat disappeared, and the Third World War also began to die down.
Barry stood under the streetlight, clenching and unclenching his palms, and after a long struggle, he finally made a decision.
"Batman is right. I've already caused so many sacrifices. Even if I do nothing, I can't change the current situation. I… I'm going back to find them."
Barry looked up, entered Speed Force mode, and left Gotham like lightning.
...…
Top floor of the hotel.
The three of them, Leon, looked at Bruce and Barry, who were leaving the ground one after another, and couldn't help but shake their heads.
"It's a good thing our Universe doesn't have something like the Speed Force that can reset the World; it's too dangerous." Tony sighed.
He thought for a moment, "The fastest person is probably that kid Quicksilver, hey, he can't possibly exceed Light Speed even if he runs until his legs break. There's no possibility of resetting the World."
Leon chuckled at the side.
Marvel doesn't have the Speed Force, but it has the Infinity Stones.
And Wanda's Chaos Magic directly modifies the Universe, which is no worse than the Speed Forceresetting the Universe.
Marvel and DC shouldn't criticize each other, okay?
Both Worlds are terrible places that will be destroyed today if not tomorrow.
"Stop looking. Barry should be able to explain everything to his parents. This World is temporarily at peace. We need to quickly get the extraction equipment ready."
...…
A few days later.
The life codex extraction equipment was finally completed.
Kara lay on the neither hard nor soft operating table.
Leon and Tony, wearing White protective suits, began the "operation" with Jarvis's cooperation.
A set of precise, cabinet-like equipment was placed beside the operating table.
Several mechanical arms extended from the cabinet, with instruments similar to miniature spotlights at their ends.
But that wasn't a spotlight.
The mechanical arms moved back and forth above Kara, and their ends emitted a straight line of scanning light.
Lines of light checked the state of Kara's cells.
After everything was ready, Tony said, "Jarvis has already calculated the extraction force for every cell. We can begin."
Leon nodded.
He looked down at Kara: "Tony and I have experimented repeatedly with your blood many times. Don't worry, there won't be any accidents. You just need to relax."
Kara blinked. She trusted Leon very much and wasn't nervous at all.
After the experiment began, the scanning light emitted by the mechanical arms extinguished, and instead, they began to release an invisible shockwave.
Those shockwaves radiated into Kara's body, separating the life codex from her DNA during the oscillation.
The Kryptonian fleet's equipment for extracting the life codex required penetration into the living body for extraction.
The equipment improved by Leon and Tony together was undoubtedly countless times gentler.
As the shockwave oscillation intensified,
Every cell of Kara's began to precipitate tiny light particles.
Those light particles floated away from her body like bubbles rising to the Water's surface.
The golden light particles were not obvious at first.
But as billions of light particles continued to emerge,
A layer of golden film covered Kara's body surface.
Leon began to guide those light particles to converge.
It looked as if the energy from Kara's body was re-gathering into a ball of light outside her body.
When the last light particle left Kara's body and entered the light ball,
All the golden light immediately extinguished.
The golden reflection in their eyes disappeared, replaced by a pitch-black skull suspended above Kara's head.
"Is this the life codex?" Kara had never seen the true form of the life codex either.
Chapter 334: Goal in DC World, Achieved√
Leon reached out and grabbed the skull, pulling it in front of him.
"That's right, this is the life codex." Leon stared at the skull in his hand, mesmerized.
He wasn't obsessed with the skull's appearance.
Rather, it was the information contained within.
With just a glance from his Super Brain, the tens of thousands of particles on the skull's surface revealed their most fundamental form in his eyes.
Those were tens of thousands of Kryptonian genetic templates.
There were Engineer templates, Politician templates, Meteorologist templates, Warrior templates…
Krypton had bred for countless years using fixed genetic templates.
Their infants were destined from birth to reach a specific endpoint in their lives.
This undoubtedly sounded like a cruel mechanism.
But at this moment, Leon couldn't help but be grateful for this cruelty.
Just a casual glance revealed tens of thousands of genes.
The genetic templates within the entire skull would be counted in the trillions.
Leon's Super Brain immediately began to eagerly deduce, constantly referencing the templates to evolve and optimize his own genes.
He even began to experiment!
Countless DNA arrangements flashed through Leon's mind.
The DNA chains in every cell of his body began to constantly disassemble and reassemble.
Under the horrified gazes of Kara and Tony,
Leon suddenly began to twitch grotesquely, constantly exploding and reassembling, melting and reforming.
A line of blood spurted here, a clump of muscle burst there.
He looked as if he was possessed by Cthulhu Loki, beginning to show signs of mutation.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! Leon, what are you doing!? Stop it, stop it quickly!!"
Tony's scalp tingled, feeling as if his brother was about to leave his last words today, asking him to take care of Pepper.
Kara also flipped off the operating table, looking at Leon nervously.
She hadn't felt any pain during the extraction of the life codex.
It even felt a little comfortable.
The vibrations caused by the shockwaves within her body felt like countless hands massaging her cells.
Now that the operation was over, Kara still felt a tingling sensation all over her body.
Just as Leon had said, she hadn't suffered any injuries during the operation.
But why was Leon like this now?
Could it be that the life codex had a problem?
Kara's pupils trembled, and her Super Brain instinctively directed her to look at Tony.
Look, here's an excellent external Super Brain!
"Is there a way to help Leon? He looks like his genes are collapsing!" Kara's voice was urgent.
Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on Tony's forehead: "Let me think, let me think, calm down first. Such symptoms aren't fatal for Leon, are they?"
Kara finally remembered Leon's previous resurrection method, and her tense heartstring relaxed slightly.
"How long will such a change in him last? This is simply not a pain a normal person can endure."
Leon's flesh was destroyed and reborn again and again, making Kara's heart pound.
She suddenly felt that her experience of being imprisoned for more than ten years, compared to Leon's current situation, could even be said to be incomparably fortunate.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later, after Leon had been reborn hundreds of times, that he finally stopped repeatedly becoming a bloody mess.
He regained his human form, his body trembled slightly, and the blood and debris covering his whole body fell to the ground.
With the self-gene locking ability from the Biochemical world,
all blood and flesh leaving Leon's body would automatically lose the genetic information he didn't want to leak.
So Leon didn't have to worry about his genes being stolen.
Unlike Tony and Kara's expressions of lingering shock,
Leon had a smile on his face at this moment, unable to suppress his excitement.
1001 times!
Adjusting his own genes based on the racial templates in the life codex.
After only trillions of deductions and hundreds of experiments,
his genetic level increased from 1000 to 1001!
If he could continue to evolve at this rate,
becoming a perfect life was simply just around the corner.
"Haha! Tony, I made it!" Leon couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The purpose of coming to the DC Universe was successfully achieved, and the results were even much better than he had imagined.
If it weren't for the unsuitable occasion and the ground being covered in blood,
Leon would even want to take Kara's hand and, like Captain America and Carter, dance an elegant and romantic duet to express his feelings.
"Fuck! You little brat, what did you make it into!?"
Tony, however, couldn't be happy at all, pointing at Leon, panting like an ox.
He was furious.
For a moment there, his entire heart really turned into Batman's Lamborghini, hitting the gas and racing straight to three hundred beats per second.
Leon looked at Tony, who was furious from excessive worry, and Kara, whose face was full of concern.
He also understood that his experiment this time was too reckless and sudden.
"I found the path to continue getting stronger, Tony, the life codex is as important to me as I thought!"
Leon didn't apologize, but instead patted his chest.
"You know I can constantly regenerate, so the changes just now were just a bit of wear and tear, no need to worry."
After saying that, before Tony could blow up again,
Leon added: "Besides, worrying is useless. In the future, my gene research will become a norm. If these genes collapse thousands of times a day, I'll slowly get used to it."
Now Tony had nothing to say.
He was both angry and helpless: "Next time you make such a big commotion, can you give a warning signal first?"
"Are you trying to scare me to death in the DC Universe so you can go back and monopolize Stark Industries' assets?"
Tony snapped his fingers as he spoke: "Leon, don't call yourself Superman anymore, just call yourself Death-seeking Boy. You die several times a day… Don't let me see how you die, it's really…"
"It's really… damn it, I'm going to rest. Don't call me unless it's important."
Tony tore off his White protective suit and slammed the door shut as he left the room.
Leon shrugged at the remaining Kara: "Tony has been busy with research these past few days, let him get some good rest."
"Then aren't you going to rest?" Kara walked closer and carefully examined Leon.
"You're also researching, and you just died… died many times. Are you really okay?"
"I'm really fine, no need to worry."
Leon held up the skull in his hand.
"However, I'm afraid I'll need to borrow the life codex for a longer period. The information it stores is very important to me."
Kara looked at the skull, her gaze seemingly traveling through time to the destroyed Kryptonian.
She nodded gently: "Give it back to me when you no longer need it."
Having just witnessed Leon getting stronger with the help of the life codex,
Kara couldn't say anything about worrying that he would use the codex for wrong purposes anymore.
However, Kara still planned to follow Leon.
Just as Leon had "translated" before,
she no longer had any relatives in this Universe.
And Earth had left a very bad impression on her.
The only person she knew and trusted was Leon, who came from another World.
This feeling of looking around and seeing everyone as a stranger, or even an enemy, was actually very lonely.
As if she had been abandoned by this World.
The World was bright, but she stood outside the World in a place where no light shone, only able to gaze far into the distance at the bustling scene.
Only when she was by Leon's side did Kara feel that someone still cared about her, and that she still had someone to care about.
"Okay, okay, rest assured that the codex is with me. When I become stronger in the future, I'll help you rebuild Kryptonian." Leon drew a picture.
Kara, however, believed him: "I will wait for that day."
Chapter 335 The Promise Ninety Years Ago
For a split second, Leon had a misconception.
He felt that Kara was a bit like Jarvis, who always followed Tony.
Because Jarvis was also like that.
Whatever Tony said, he believed it, and whatever he was told to do, even if it was wrong, he would firmly execute it after offering his opinion.
However, it wasn't that Leon now felt Kara was his housekeeper.
Rather, Kara's trust in him had reached a very high level—
At least two or three stories high.
Being gazed upon by Kara's sincere, seemingly pure eyes.
Even if Leon was genuinely making empty promises, he inexplicably felt a sense of guilt.
With a strange sense of guilt, he averted his gaze, took off his White protective suit, and opened the door.
"Then it's settled, let's go, it's time for us to leave."
Outside the door was air with the scent of disinfectant and the pale light of street lamps.
This was actually inside Tony's World Ring.
After the battle with Dormammu.
Leon had custom-made a pair of World Rings for Tony and Pepper.
The World inside the ring was very Small, and there was no Sun, just a wilderness with vegetation and minerals.
Tony built his secret Base on this wilderness.
The Base had complete battle suit production lines, abundant entertainment equipment, and Packagesmedical and research facilities.
Kara's surgery was performed in a sterile room here.
After stepping out of the room, Leon scanned the area, confirming that Tony had already left the Small World.
Generally speaking, people couldn't stay in this World.
It had no Sunlight; all energy and light came from the various Ark Reactors built by Tony.
The entire World had a desolate Victorian industrial style.
The rumbling sound of the battle suit production line could be heard from a long distance away.
Only Jarvis's sub-entities were willing to stay here to build battle suits for Tony.
Leon was also unwilling to stay long.
Because a place without even Sunlight would greatly annoy him, a fake Kryptonian.
Kara instinctively stepped forward and took Leon's wrist.
Leon's thought moved.
The industrial-style building complex in front of them instantly switched to a luxurious hotel room.
The two returned to the hotel in Gotham.
Sunlight slanted in through the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside, summer cicadas were chirping madly.
It was hard to believe such an afternoon would appear in Gotham.
"Kara, it's still afternoon. You can go out and explore. Although you've been on Earth for so many years, you haven't seen the local customs and culture, have you? Gotham shouldn't disappoint you."
Leon stretched his limbs in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Having the life codex in hand made him feel very happy.
Now, everything looked good to him.
Even Gotham seemed to be gilded in his eyes.
Kara looked at him from behind Leon: "I will. Are you... going to rest like Tony?"
"I don't need to. The word 'rest' only belongs to mortals like Tony. For us Kryptonians, just basking in the Sun is enough." Leon winked his left eye at Kara, joking.
Kara nodded. Her gaze lingered on Leon for a few seconds, then on the tall buildings outside the window for a few more seconds.
She looked like a little girl who sees ice cream while shopping with her parents.
Although she said nothing, her eager expression was too easy to read.
Leon chuckled and patted his forehead: "Sorry, I probably can't go shopping with you today. I still have a ninety-year-old appointment to fulfill."
Leon and Tony jumping through time, from World War I to World War III, was just an instant.
But on the other side of the Earth, over the Black Sea, adjacent to the Aegean Sea.
There was a girl who had waited for him for ninety years.
Although they didn't have a promised double dance like Captain and Carter.
Diana, however, would always sit on the cliff edge of Paradise Island, lost in thought, looking in the direction he left.
For the past week, Leon had been researching the life codex extraction equipment with Tony.
This was so that after the purpose of this Crossing was achieved.
He could then wholeheartedly accompany that girl.
"An appointment? What appointment?" Kara was surprised, "Didn't you and Tony just arrive here a week ago?"
Because of Leon, Kara and Tony were now quite familiar with each other.
Although Tony often felt "heartbroken" because his younger brother was going to harm another beautiful girl.
He still maintained a good relationship with Kara from a "parental" perspective.
Much of the information about Leon was told to Kara by him.
This made Kara very curious how Leon could still have an appointment in this World.
"An appointment... it's an agreement made ninety years ago to meet again."
Leon's nonsensical literary style blurted out.
Then he waved goodbye: "I'm leaving. You go shopping by yourself. Be careful... uh, if you encounter bad people, be careful not to hit too hard."
As his voice fell, Leon had already disappeared from in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
If Kara knew about his appointment with Diana, she would definitely want to go with him.
But he didn't plan to take Kara to see Diana.
Although he was relatively honest and didn't intend to hide it from Kara.
But Diana had waited for him for ninety years.
If he brought another girl with him after such a long-awaited reunion.
Only someone completely thoughtless would do that.
...
Black Sea, Paradise Island.
The giant Sun was setting into the sea, and the island's trees swayed in the wind.
The leaves were layers of orange-red under the setting Sun, like a red ocean filled with longing.
Diana sat on the cliff edge, gazing at the horizon.
The emotions in her heart were like the waves below.
Crashing against the shore again and again, then rolling back again and again.
"Diana, it's almost dark. Come back, it's time for dinner." Hippolyta stood behind Diana.
"You all go ahead, Mother. I'll be back after sitting for a while longer."
Diana didn't turn around, picking up a pebble and throwing it into the sea.
The immense force carried the pebble through the waves, carving an arc-shaped groove on the surface of the Water, which was smoothed out by the waves moments later.
"I'll sit a little longer... maybe Leon will come today." Diana said uncertainly.
Queen Hippolyta sighed: "Oh, you, still unwilling to give up? After all these years, you wait here every day for that Leon. Maybe he's forgotten you. For ordinary people, ninety-plus years is their entire life."
"He won't. He said he would jump through time to the future; it's just that the time has not arrived yet."
Diana puffed out her cheeks in rebuttal, then threw a torpedo-like pebble into the sea, blasting open the Water's surface.
She said Leon would come, and she truly believed it in her heart.
But with the long wait, she felt both a deepening anticipation and a deepening resentment.
Although ninety-plus years was not long for her, who had lived for thousands of years.
But that also depended on what period of her life it was compared to.
During her carefree growth in the past, let alone ninety years, even if a thousand or two thousand years passed, she would still be carefree and happy.
But these ninety years were ninety years of waiting for Leon.
She waited for Leon every single day.
Waiting for Leon to come and hug her, tell her it's been a long time, and take her to human society.
But Leon never came.
Chapter 336 Paradise Island is hot
Time changes many things.
Diana still clearly remembered Leon's appearance;
She remembered that smile when Ares died that day, and Leon walked up to her and told her that everyone was still alive.
She missed Leon very much; she longed for him.
After learning the story of Zeus and her mother from her mother.
She also knew that she had fallen in love with Leon.
It was just that ninety years of separation was too long.
So long that Leon had almost become a Shadow in her heart.
When she woke up in the morning, that Shadow would appear before her eyes.
Watching the Sun set over the ocean in the evening, she would think of him again.
Even the cawing of seagulls on the cliff would make her stand up, wondering if Leon had arrived.
Without her mother Hippolyta saying anything.
Diana also knew that something seemed to be wrong with her.
Sometimes she even thought, if only she hadn't let Leon leave back then.
She really should have tied Leon to the headboard with the Truth Lasso so she could see him every morning when she woke up.
But such a thought was dismissed with a shake of her head as soon as it emerged.
The Truth Lasso probably couldn't tie Leon… No, no, how could she tie Leon with a rope?
Leon, on the other side of Earth, didn't know that Diana had ever had such a thought.
If he had known.
He would probably have been so scared that he would hear the whistling sound of a boiling kettle in his ears.
And yell in his heart that Diana was turning into a yandere-type beautiful girl.
...
Hippolyta once again heard Diana say the words "Leon will come" which she had said ten thousand times.
She could only helplessly squat down and sit with Diana on the edge of the cliff.
"If you don't go, then I'll wait with you."
Hippolyta looked at the setting Sun, which was shattered into countless diamond-shaped light spots on the sea.
She sighed: "You and I were really alike back then; I also waited for Zeus here, but he also had Hera, and Themis, Eris…"
"With so many lovers waiting for his favor, how could he remember that on a remote island, there was still an Amazon queen who was thinking of him and waiting for him."
"Diana, it's best not to have too much expectation for Leon; too much expectation is obsession, and obsession will make you lose your mind."
"Men, they will never remember the feelings they once left with a certain woman."
"They think women are things that can just be left in the past and then have nothing more to do with them."
"But in reality, no one can be shaken off; those who can be shaken off are just those who no longer pursue, who have let go of their obsession."
Hippolyta stroked Diana's hair.
"And I gave up, besides Zeus is already dead; whether human or god, one must learn to let go of things that cannot be held in hand."
"You still have so, so much time to live, Diana, don't let yourself be trapped."
Queen Hippolyta advised Diana as someone who had been through it all.
Her words were sincere and reasonable.
They completely resonated with Diana's heart.
This made her a little sullen.
Her mother's words made her unable to help but think of a certain possibility that she had always deliberately ignored.
The more she thought about it, the unhappier she became.
So she threw another stone, stirring up huge waves.
The fish swimming near Paradise Island today were really unlucky.
Large schools of sea fish were stunned by the giant waves, turning belly up and floating on the surface of the sea.
Under the setting Sun, this scene was as eerie as an apocalyptic wasteland.
Diana's eyes, however, lit up, and she threw her worries to the back of her mind, flipping over and jumping down the cliff.
"Mother, I'm going fishing!"
"Wait… Oh, you child! Don't misuse your divine power after awakening it; you catch so many fish every day, there are already too many fish on the island to eat." Hippolyta was even more helpless.
Although helpless, the persuasion just now had undoubtedly worked.
Hippolyta believed that as long as she came to persuade once every day, and each time she persuaded with new ideas and to a higher level.
Diana would one day change her mind.
Thinking this, Hippolyta finally stopped being depressed.
She even began to plan tomorrow's persuasive words, imagining how Diana would refute her, and how she should widely cite evidence to persuade her.
But just then, Diana's scream suddenly came from below the cliff.
"Ah!!"
The scream was full of panic, full of surprise.
But ever since Diana defeated Ares, she had never screamed again.
Had she encountered danger?
"Diana!" Queen Hippolyta's heart tightened, and she frantically lowered her head to look.
However, before her head was even fully lowered.
Diana had already come up.
Queen Hippolyta's face was blank.
Because Diana was being carried up by that man named Leon.
That Leon had arrived at Paradise Island at some unknown time and just happened to catch Diana who had jumped off the cliff.
He was wearing the same casual clothes from ninety years ago, holding Diana in his arms in a bridal carry.
And Diana was tightly wrapping her arms around his head.
Their two heads were close together, twisting back and forth.
Hippolyta could only see the back of Diana's head.
But that posture, that sound, that eagerness to melt into each other's bodies.
How could she not know what they were doing.
"You rascal, you rascal!" Hippolyta didn't expect that after ninety years, this Leon would actually come back.
Zeus hadn't even come.
How could this boy come!?
Hippolyta glared fiercely at Leon, then helplessly looked at Diana.
Watching the fiery reunion of the two after a long separation.
She sighed softly in her heart, Diana would now completely forget this scoundrel.
She hoped Diana's ending wouldn't be the same as hers…
Hippolyta picked up her long sword from the ground.
She walked into the interior of Paradise Island without looking back.
Leaving time and space to Leon and Diana.
…
Leon had never experienced such a passionate kiss.
It was not only passionate with the longing that had been suppressed for ninety years.
But also violent, so violent that it was like a whale performing CPR on him.
However, that breath was not blowing into his lungs, but sucking air out.
The intensity seemed to drain all the air from his body.
Leon guaranteed.
If he were an ordinary person.
No, that's not right.
If he were a Super boy who had just awakened his Kryptonian Bloodline not long ago.
At this moment, he would probably have his lungs sucked out by Diana.
This girl had no experience at all, but she was incredibly passionate, completely expressing her ninety years of accumulated longing in her own way—
So longing that she seemed to want to suck everything of Leon into her belly.
Fortunately, Leon was not to be outdone.
… (Not writing more) …
When the sky completely darkened, and only the last afterglow of the Sun remained.
Diana finally paused temporarily, breathing heavily.
She looked at Leon affectionately, the tenderness in her eyes like an entire melted World.
"I knew you'd come back." Diana said.
Leon used his finger to brush away Diana's messy hair: "That's what we agreed on, isn't it."
"Mm!" Diana hummed softly, her eyes fixed, as if she could never get enough of looking at Leon.
But as she looked, she became a little resentful, and playfully punched Leon hard.
"But how did you skip ninety years of time? It's been so long, I thought you had forgotten me."
Diana's punch, its force was definitely enough to easily collapse a building.
It was only because Leon's body was sturdy that he was unharmed, only rubbing his chest and pretending to be in great pain.
"Ow!" He didn't offer any explanation, but cried out, "That hurts so much, Diana!"
Tony's Guide to Wooing Women — What women need is never practical reasons, but emotions and attitude.
"Ah, I, I accidentally used too much force, Leon are you okay?"
Diana was indeed distracted, anxiously lowering her head to check Leon's chest.
But as she lowered her head, Leon suddenly transformed into a big bad wolf, pouncing and pinning Diana to the ground.
"Huh, the ground is cold, Leon what are you going to do?" Diana asked, puzzled.
"Make a baby? Are you going to mold a clay doll?"
"Ah, is, is it… like this?"
"We don't look alike."
Paradise Island was very hot tonight, and very terrifying.
The entire island seemed to have drifted into an earthquake zone, rumbling and vibrating all night.
Chapter 337 Her Majesty the Queen is on the Lookout
Below him was soft earth, and above, floating White clouds.
Super-powered individuals don't need bedding to sleep.
Leon, for once, relaxed his mind and slept soundly for a night.
Although his consciousness remained awake through his two avatars in his inner World.
At least his main body slept embraced with Diana.
When the morning breeze blew.
Leon's eyelids fluttered, and he woke up.
The moment he opened his eyes, Diana was right there.
Enveloped in a faint glow in the morning light, the girl curled up in Leon's arms like a lychee peeled of its skin.
Diana's hair tips glistened with dew, and through the strands scattered across her face, one could see her rosy cheeks and slightly rising, flushed lips.
Her moist breath, emanating from her slightly parted lips, wafted onto Leon's face, and the morning chill vanished without a trace.
Of course, Leon wasn't feeling cold.
The chill came from a distant hill, from Hippolyta, who was looking over with icy eyes.
That gaze had been there for a long time.
It was impressive that Her Majesty the Queen had endured the entire night without coming to demand an explanation.
Even other Amazon warriors, who had rushed over out of curiosity or alarm, were stopped by the Queen.
The earth-shattering commotion last night made every Amazon feel a panic that the island was about to sink.
It wasn't until Queen Hippolyta, with a dark expression, declared it a normal phenomenon that they calmed down, though they still spent the night on edge.
Only Her Majesty the Queen knew the truth.
She knew that her precious daughter, like a prized cabbage, had been 'porked' by a wild boar...
Of course, judging by the terrifying commotion, it was also possible that her own domestic pig had 'porked' the wild vegetable from outside.
To be honest, Hippolyta was questioning her life.
Even when Zeus and she were together, there wasn't such a commotion, was there?
That Leon better not be played to death by Diana.
Because of this worry.
After the mountain-shattering commotion ended, Hippolyta rushed to the epicenter at the first opportunity.
But just a distant glance, without even seeing clearly or thoroughly, her face darkened.
It was awful; Diana was truly going to be abducted this time.
And that Leon, doing such things without even finding a room, truly thought Paradise Island was his home now!
Hippolyta really wanted to rush over and pull the two apart.
But the 'battle' over there had already entered a vigorous stage; was she supposed to join in if she went?
Hippolyta could only turn and walk back into the island with a sullen expression, going to sleep filled with indignation.
But she hadn't even fallen into a deep sleep yet.
When she heard warriors wanting to search the island to find the cause of the tremor.
She quickly got up again, dismissed everyone, and quietly ran to the hill by herself to stand guard for the two.
This was truly... a sin!
As Diana's mother, she had to stand guard for her daughter in such a matter.
Queen Hippolyta grew angrier the more she thought about it.
She wished she could strike Leon with her sword.
When Leon woke up, what he perceived was the icy gaze from Her Majesty the Queen, who was standing guard.
Using his super hearing to understand the movements of the people on the island, Leon quickly understood the whole situation and awkwardly rubbed his nose.
He quietly draped clothes over Diana, controlling the Dormammu Suit to re-form on his body in the style of casual wear.
"Hmm… Is it already morning, Leon?"
Noticing the warmth that had been embracing her disappear, Diana also woke from her deep sleep.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up, her hair falling over her shoulders, and the clothes Leon had put on her slipped off, revealing her wheat-colored skin and the flushed redness on her full breasts.
Leon leaned in and lightly kissed Diana on the corner of her mouth, then picked up the clothes to help Diana put them on.
These clothes were actually Diana's leather armor.
Leon didn't have a habit of tearing clothes, so they were still intact.
After all, he only needed to use spatial rules to lightly slice, and even the tightest wraps would slide off as smoothly as Dove chocolate.
"Your mother has been waiting for us for a long time. Let's go quickly, don't make her angry and explode," Leon reminded Diana.
"Right, right!" At the mention of her mother, Diana, who was still a bit groggy, instantly sobered up with a jolt.
She hastily pulled on her combat boots, fastened her long sword, then grabbed Leon's hand and ran towards the interior of the island.
"Let's quickly go back to my room! If mother finds out we spent the night by the cliff, we're absolutely doomed!"
Diana ran in a frantic hurry, her full, powerful legs leaping over ten meters with each stride, like a martial arts master practicing qinggong.
Leon jumped along with her and realized that Diana's head must still be groggy.
Otherwise, he had already told her that Hippolyta was waiting for them, so why was Diana still thinking of trying to deceive her?
Could it be that this was the confusion caused by love?
Last night, they confessed their love to each other countless times.
Now Diana was truly Leon's girlfriend.
And she was the kind who wouldn't be driven away by Tony with a million dollars.
Running into the densely packed building area of the island.
Diana then noticed that almost everyone was outside their rooms, conversing in groups of three or five.
She quickly pulled Leon, lowering her body, wanting to sneak back to her room.
But the conversations of the female warriors carried over.
"What exactly happened last night? The tremor on Paradise Island lasted for over three hours, like the rock layers beneath the island were constantly colliding."
"I can't figure it out either. This sea area around Paradise Island has been calm for thousands of years. Was someone attacking last night?"
"But His Majesty said everything was normal."
"If everything is normal, would the ground shake up and down like that? It was as if someone was pounding on the foundation with great force."
"What kind of foundation could withstand such pounding? Impossible!"
The content of those conversations was very serious.
But as Diana listened, her face turned red.
Even if Diana was as innocent and romantic as ever, at this moment she felt genuinely embarrassed.
Because the commotion discussed by her sisters was entirely caused by her doing 'bad things.'
Unlike Leon, who could perfectly transfer and exert force in any movement.
When Diana's emotions got the better of her and she completely let loose, each thrust was like a precise strike from a space-based weapon.
However, this time, Leon was truly comfortable.
Previously, the most comfortable were Ada and Jill, who transformed into a vise and a furnace.
Now it was the space-based weapon Diana.
The level of comfort had improved by leaps and bounds.
Leon decided he must take Diana away and cultivate her well.
With so many ways to become stronger in Marvel and DC, there must be one that could make Dianaevolve again on the basis of being a space-based weapon.
Preferably, she would become the ultimate weapon, integrating space-based weapons, thermobaric weapons, weather weapons, and so on.
"Leon!" At this moment, Diana suddenly gripped Leon's hand tightly.
Her small face was flushed with shyness.
"We, our movements last night were too loud!" She whispered this news to Leon.
Leon nodded: "I know."
"You know?" Diana's eyes widened. "Then why didn't you stop me a little? It would have been terrible if someone had found out last night!"
"It's fine." Leon waved his hand.
Last night, he was too engrossed and didn't even use his Bio-field to cover the island.
But it didn't matter; besides the ground in the area where he and Diana were active being broken and sinking more than ten meters, there were no other problems.
"Her Majesty the Queen stopped everyone else last night, and she even stood guard for us this morning, so it's fine."
Chapter 338 Leaving Paradise Island
"Oh, Mother, she helped keep watch, that's good… What!? My Mother, she, she, she…"
Diana shot to her feet, so startled she was incoherent.
Pointing in the direction of Hippolyta's sleeping quarters, her face instantly flushed red.
Even though Diana wasn't afraid of her Mother, and even rebelled from time to time.
But the thought of her Mother seeing her madness from last night, and even helping to keep watch…
Diana suddenly felt a sense of overwhelming embarrassment, as if the World was vast but could no longer contain her.
The Amazon warriors around her, however, had their attention drawn by Diana's exclamation.
They looked over, still unaware that the Princess was the culprit behind last night's earthquake.
They all asked Diana with concern what had happened.
Diana stammered, extremely flustered.
She suddenly wanted to punch the load-bearing pillar next to her, making the house collapse quickly to cover her.
"Diana!" A stern voice suddenly called out to Diana.
Queen Hippolyta had returned.
After the two left the cliff, Her Majesty the Queen also rode her warhorse back.
Her gaze was like electricity, and the surrounding warriors instinctively made way, feeling that the Queen today seemed exceptionally stern.
Hippolyta looked down at her daughter: "Come with me!"
She spurred her horse and whipped it, and as she passed Diana, she didn't forget to glare at Leon, who was still squatting behind Diana.
"And you, Leon, you come too!"
It was only then that the warriors noticed Leon; their attention had previously been entirely on Diana.
They hadn't expected to see this man again after ninety years.
For a moment, they were both surprised and delighted.
"It's actually Leon?"
"Leon is back on Paradise Island?"
"Oh my goodness, he's still so young, could he also be a God?"
"Hey! Hey! Leon, do you still remember me? Decades ago, you saved me from Ares!"
Leon was called by Hippolyta.
He stood up from behind Diana.
Instantly startling the female warriors present.
Among a group of Amazon warriors with slender waists and long legs, wearing only brassieres and skirts.
He stood out like a sore thumb, like a catfish thrown into a school of sardines.
A few decades was not a long time for Amazon warriors.
Even now, they still remembered the sight of Leon standing on the cliff that day, with the sea and sun behind him.
—In fact, for these warriors who hadn't seen a man in thousands of years, even if Leon were picking his toes on the spot, they would remember it clearly.
Whether it was youthful and beautiful maidens or charming older women.
At this moment, all showed immense enthusiasm.
Last night's earthquake was now forgotten as they all surrounded Leon.
The boldest female warrior even put two fingers to her mouth and whistled.
Leon didn't respond, just nodded with a subtle smile.
They say when women gather, they evolve into hooligans.
Over at Marvel, there were hundreds of Men in Black female Agents.
From time to time, they would make him experience in meetings what it meant for a hooligan's limit to have no limit.
Leon already had rich experience in dealing with this.
At times like this, whatever you say is wrong; it's all responding to those few hooligans, which will make others also unable to resist evolving into perverts.
So the best way to deal with it is to say nothing and just keep smiling.
The female hooligans would naturally be suppressed by Natasha and Yelena.
As for now, wasn't Diana still here?
"Who's whistling?" Diana grew anxious, standing in front of Leon.
"What are you doing? Don't crowd around, you'll scare Leon!"
"Everyone disperse, disperse! Weren't you supposed to investigate the cause of the earthquake? Hurry up!"
Facing her sisters, who were now like wolves and tigers, Diana frantically tried to shoo them away.
Fortunately, she herself was the biggest hooligan here.
Seeing that verbal deterrents were ineffective.
Under dozens of eager green eyes, Diana deliberately pinched Leon's chest.
Then she proudly raised her head, indicating that this was her man.
Then she couldn't help but feel shy, pulling Leon's hand to quickly chase after Hippolyta.
"Leon, hurry up! Mother will definitely scold us if we're too slow!"
At this moment, Queen Hippolyta, whom she least wanted to see, ironically became Diana's excuse.
The two scurried away, chasing Hippolyta into the temple.
Leaving behind a group of sighing female warriors.
"We usually eat together, how wonderful it would be if the consort could also be shared by everyone," someone said regretfully.
Her words immediately drew a series of agreements.
…
Inside the main hall.
Having just led Leon away from the clutches of her sisters, she hadn't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief.
Diana looked at her Mother, who was facing away from her, and felt a heavy pressure again.
"Mother," Diana called softly.
Hippolyta turned her head slightly at the sound, then turned around.
In her hand, she held a sheathed sword.
The blade was engraved with runes, and the hilt was carved with two opposing dragon heads.
"That's…" Diana's gaze was immediately drawn to the sword; she was all too familiar with this sword.
"The Godkiller Sword," Hippolyta held the sword horizontally in front of her, her eyelids lowered as she looked at the long sword.
"It wasn't locked in the tower? Mother, why did you take it out?"
Diana instinctively shielded Leon, thinking, 'Mother wouldn't really behead Leon today to vent her anger, would she?'
'That won't do; I can't just drift across the sea in a small boat holding Leon's head later.'
Hippolyta instantly saw through her daughter's thoughts.
She was both angry and helpless.
"I know I can't keep you, Diana."
Hippolyta said, "Ninety years ago, you chose to stay because of me and the warriors on the Island; this time, you're definitely leaving."
Diana nodded: "Leon will take me to the human World, but I will still come back, Mother."
"But you are still too naive and don't know the cunning of humans; they are not worthy of your trust." Hippolyta had seen too much human darkness.
"I will go and see for myself, and I also have Leon," Diana said.
"Leon…" Hippolyta sighed inwardly.
She had said so much to Diana yesterday, even using Zeus as an example, but this foolish daughter hadn't taken any of it to heart.
She could only look at Leon again: "You will protect Diana, won't you, Leon."
Leon nodded, without making any promises.
Her Majesty the Queen, who didn't quite trust men, clearly didn't need his promise either.
"That's good."
Seeing Leon nod.
Hippolyta then walked up to Diana and handed her the Godkiller Sword.
"I still have many things I want to say, but you have grown up. Take the Amazon artifact and go, do what you believe is right."
Diana pursed her lips and took the long sword.
Although Ares said this Godkiller Sword couldn't kill Gods.
There was no doubt that it was still a true artifact, powerfully formidable.
The conversation between Mother and daughter didn't last too long.
Hippolyta had already given Diana many admonitions over the past ninety years.
She didn't believe that Diana, who could defeat Ares, would encounter threats in the human World.
She was only worried that Diana would be hurt by a man, just like herself.
"Alright, go get what you need to take, and take Leon on a tour of Paradise Island while you're at it."
"Let him know that if he doesn't treat you well, we have a powerful army here," Hippolyta said at last.
So, after leaving the main hall.
Diana took Leon on a tour of the Island again.
She recounted the stories of her growing up as if they were precious heirlooms.
Every tree on this Island, she could tell a story related to her past.
Until nightfall.
After having dinner with the Amazon female warriors, Leon's identity was recognized by Queen Hippolyta, who granted him permission to freely enter and exit Paradise Island.
Only then did the two leave the Island and head to the human World.
Chapter 339 The Princess Leaving the Castle
Carrying Diana, Leon flew across the Atlantic Ocean towards Gotham.
Layers of clouds rushed past beneath them.
They were flying in pursuit of the Sun.
The Sun on the Black Sea had already sunk below the horizon.
The further west they flew, the sky gradually brightened again.
The dark clouds were slowly painted by the sunlight.
Dark blue, orange-yellow, reddish-orange, bluish-white… and finally, pure White.
The two rushed out of the clouds, and Diana, delighted, opened her arms and cheered in the oncoming long wind.
It had been a long time since Leon had flown so slowly.
He took Diana through the clouds, their speed only a few dozen Mach.
Unlike his usual self, where he would instantly arrive anywhere by opening a Portal.
Even when flying, he could move at Light Speed, reaching any place on Earth within a second.
But this journey, flying with Diana,
was truly like holding a girl's hand in a school and walking her to her dormitory.
It was clearly just a few steps, but it felt like the long journey to the West, as if they wouldn't stop until they had experienced all eighty-one hardships, or else they'd want to start all over again.
Leon held Diana's hand like this.
He enveloped her with his Bio-field.
Together, they touched the floating clouds passing by.
Those clouds, which displayed different colors as the Sun's reflection angle changed, painted a magnificent scene in their eyes.
Diana's eyes were now filled with sparkling light.
Despite having awakened her divine power for so many years, she hadn't actually learned to fly.
The clouds she could only look up at from the ground before were now within reach.
She reached out to touch them, feeling the incredible sensation of the clouds slipping through her fingers.
Then she cast out her Truth Lasso, binding a mass of clouds.
The clouds were clearly loose aggregates of tiny Water droplets and ice crystals.
But under the Truth Lasso, they were actually pulled directly to Diana like a ball of cotton candy.
Diana held the cloud mass in her hands.
She watched it change color with the changing angle of the Sun.
She showed an expression of surprise and happiness.
"So this is what clouds are really like, it's amazing, Leon!"
Everything outside Paradise Island was new to Diana.
She was even taken by Leon to touch the clouds in the sky as soon as she stepped out.
Diana felt like she had returned to her childhood, listening to her mother tell bedtime stories.
The next second always held an attraction.
"It's amazing, but I think your Truth Lasso is even more amazing; it can even bind clouds, which aren't solid," Leon said, looking at the cloud Diana held in her hand.
"That's because of divine power! Divine power can do many things, not just for fighting," Diana said, shaking the lasso, and the bound cloud also swayed with it.
"Then why don't you try flying with divine power? Ares flew when he came to Paradise Island that day."
"I haven't really tried... Can I really?"
"You definitely can. I'll teach you. The first step is to get used to the feeling of weightlessness in the air. We'll go into the clouds to experience it carefully."
Leon looked at Diana, who was like a curious baby.
Suddenly, a wicked thought came to him.
He took Diana's hand and plunged into the thick clouds.
Diana looked at him with a puzzled and innocent expression, curious about how Leon would teach her.
However, a moment later, the sea of clouds began to ripple.
Mixed in with the ripples was a rhythmic sound, like the roar of thunder.
It wasn't until several hours later that the two set off again.
Diana ultimately failed to learn to fly and would require more lessons from Leon.
Just one or two times were clearly not enough.
This would be a long and lasting task.
So Leon no longer delayed, gripping Diana's soft palm, his figure flashed, and he appeared above Gotham.
"Is this Gotham?"
Diana hung limply in Leon's arms.
Her body was sore and aching to death, but her expression was radiant.
She was craning her neck, looking down.
The endless stream of traffic on the city streets below, and the towering skyscrapers that reached into the clouds, were all strange things she had never seen before.
Diana's eyes couldn't take it all in.
How many people were there on Paradise Island?
The population was so small that every Amazon warrior knew the habits and preferences of every other person by heart.
Compared to Paradise Island,
the city below seemed like an entire World.
This World unfolded like a painting, stretching to the limits of her vision.
People bustled on the streets, densely packed, passing each other yet seeing each other's faces for the first time.
Leon slowly lowered their altitude, allowing Diana to observe the city carefully.
She was already exhausted, but her eyes were still so lively.
Even the gray-toned city of Gotham became colorful in her eyes.
When she saw Wayne Tower, covered from top to bottom in reflective glass, she would crane her neck to observe it.
But before she could look her fill, her gaze was drawn to the large and beautiful Robinson Park.
Diana was truly like a princess from a fairy tale, stepping out of her castle for the first time.
She wasn't much better than Snow White, who was so innocent she could defeat a hunter with her gaze.
"Is this the human World? So this is what it's like!"
Diana exclaimed.
She had been exclaiming the entire way, her gasps and excited self-talk never stopping.
At this moment, she was actually much quieter.
Because her physical strength had just been completely drained by Leon.
But she still looked up and kissed Leon on the cheek: "Will the place we live in later be like this?"
"Not quite, it will be livelier there," Leon said after thinking for a moment.
Compared to this Gotham, which had been tamed by Batman, New York would indeed be livelier.
Look at this Gotham.
The most chaotic it got was someone flying in the sky in broad daylight... No!
Leon looked closely and saw that the person flying was Kara, and she was flying towards him.
"Leon," Kara hovered in front of Leon, "You've been missing all day. Tony is looking for you; he hasn't slept all night."
...
Kara hadn't slept all day.
After Leon left, she didn't go shopping or experience the World as Leon had told her to.
Instead, she stayed in the hotel, sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window in Leon's spot, basking in the Sunall afternoon.
Even after nightfall and the sunset, she didn't leave.
Because no matter how warm this World was, it had nothing to do with her.
The only person she knew was Leon.
As for Tony, when she told him his brother Leon was missing, he impatiently waved his hand and said that kid must have gone to find a pretty girl.
If Tony wasn't Leon's brother, Kara felt that with the anger that flashed through her in that instant, she would definitely throw a punch.
So Kara defined Tony in her mind as an unreliable brother.
Even Jarvis, the artificial intelligence Leon mentioned, when he heard Leon was missing, told her he was invading satellites of various countries to search for Leon.
It's just that this artificial intelligence seemed to be underperforming; it had been invading all day without success.
Kara's assessment was that it was a bit worse than Kryptonian intelligent systems.
Chapter 340 Big Pig's Hoof
Kara was very anxious.
She didn't know why, but when it was late at night and she still couldn't see Leon returning, she inexplicably began to feel restless.
It was as if her heart was filled with hundreds of rabbits, jumping around and digging holes in every corner.
Although she said Leon was missing, she didn't actually believe that someone as powerful as Leon would be in danger.
She was just subconsciously looking for an excuse, wanting Tony and Jarvis to help her find out where Leon had gone.
Because she couldn't stop her mind from wondering who Leon was going to meet.
Was there anyone in this World who could make Leon stay out all night?
They had clearly slept in the same suite for the past week, with only a wall separating their bedrooms.
And during that week, Leon hadn't even left the room.
But now, as soon as he left, he didn't return for the night.
Kara suddenly felt a bit annoyed with her powerful, supercomputer-like brain.
This incredibly powerful brain was constantly throwing countless logically clear conjectures at her every second.
Accompanying these conjectures were even clear images that had been conceived—
There was the image, as Tony had said, of Leon going to another city to meet another girl.
There was also the image of Leon being exposed to red Sun light, losing his power, and being captured.
There was even the image of Leon directly abandoning her and her brother Tony at the hotel and leaving this Universe alone.
Kara's mind was in a mess.
She couldn't sleep, and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window all night.
She waited until dawn, until the sunlight once again passed through the floor-to-ceiling window, awakening her cells.
Kara still couldn't see the figure she longed to see when gazing at the horizon.
As time passed little by little, and the Sun grew hotter, Kara's Shadow shortened from behind her to beneath her.
Her mood also began to gradually become irritable.
She felt an urge to hug the sofa and pull out handfuls of cotton from it.
This emotion had never appeared during the decades she was imprisoned, or even when she was on Kryptonian.
Kara wasn't sure what was wrong with her.
She was also very confused.
She even felt distressed.
The images that kept popping up in her mind made her feel that this moment was even more agonizing than when she was imprisoned by Luthor.
Kara thought it might be because she was too worried about Leon.
After all, he was the only person she knew in this World, and he was her benefactor who had saved her many times.
She had only lent him the life codex and hadn't had a chance to repay his kindness yet.
So it was normal to worry a little more.
She comforted herself this way in her heart.
But the feeling of vexation didn't ease; it continued to burn like a Fire beneath her heart.
Kara used her super hearing and super vision to their utmost.
The movements of half of Earth were within her perception.
But Leon was not within this range.
Kara wanted to leave the hotel to search for Leon, as it had already been a full day.
However, Tony remained nonchalant and unconcerned.
Jarvis was also useless, still unable to successfully infiltrate.
These two useless people, however, wanted to stop her, saying that as soon as she went out, she would be discovered and wanted by various countries.
For this reason, Kara waited from morning until afternoon.
She stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, her shoes tapping intermittently on the floor.
As time passed, the sound of her shoes tapping the ground became more frequent, almost turning into rhythmic rap by the afternoon.
Just as Kara was about to lose control of her impulse, Leon's figure finally appeared in her vision.
In that instant, all the vexation in her heart disappeared.
It vanished completely.
It was like a computer being formatted, all the junk swept away, leaving only the joy of reloading.
But this joy lasted only for a second.
Because Kara saw the girl in Leon's arms.
Dark curly hair, beautiful eyes, and skin that was very delicate even under super vision.
The girl was incredibly beautiful, smiling so happily, like Kara herself when she came to Gotham with Leon (although Kara didn't smile, she was happy inside).
At that time, Leon held her arm.
Now Leon was holding that girl.
They slowly descended from the sky into Gotham, and the girl was kissing Leon's face.
Kara had never seen such behavior from her parents; Kryptonian people wouldn't do that.
Only Earthling, that was an Earthling girl…
Kara had seen people kissing in Gotham these past two days.
A man and a woman kissing, and others would cheer them on or look on with envy.
There was something called 'love' here, and people who loved each other would kiss.
Could it be that Leon really went out to find the person he loved?
Kara suddenly felt something shatter in her heart.
The sound was so clear, as if it shattered from her heart all the way to her eardrums.
The afternoon Sun was dazzlingly hot, and Kara subconsciously reached out and pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window, the glass shattering outwards.
Then she also flew out.
She flew towards Leon, her gaze passing through the distorted air under the high temperature, seeing a distorted figure.
How strange, why would super vision be affected by the air, seeing a distorted scene?
Kara flew in front of Leon.
Leon looked at her, and that girl was also looking at her.
Kara didn't know why she came over, or what she was going to say.
Was she going to say, 'Leon, you're amazing, you didn't come back for a whole night, and when you returned, you brought a new woman'?
Kara couldn't say such words.
She had no reason to say that.
She was just a Kryptonian saved by Leon, not an Earthling.
She didn't know what 'love' meant to Earthling.
So even though she was very sad, and tears inexplicably slid down her cheeks and fell to the ground, Kara only looked at Leon and asked, "Leon, why were you missing for a whole day? Tony was worried and didn't sleep all night."
Kara didn't know if Tony slept.
But now Kara knew that Tony really understood Leon.
Far more than she, a Kryptonian whose home had been destroyed, who had no friends or relatives in the World, understood.
"Kara, you... why are you crying?" Leon pointed at Kara's cheek.
"Are you kidding me? You were missing for a whole day, and the first thing you say when you come back is that I'm crying."
Kara stubbornly met Leon's gaze, her expression as calm as ever, only tears continuously flowing.
Leon opened his mouth, unable to speak for a moment.
What would Tony do in this situation?
He would probably pull out a check, sign it, and hand it to the crying girl, saying, 'Don't cry, we'll meet again next time, your life will be more exciting from now on.'
But Kara and he weren't like those cover girl relationships.
Besides, he hadn't done anything, so why was Kara crying like Xianglin Sao?
When did he become Yang Guo, making people fall in love at first sight and ruin their lives?
...Well, that's been the case for a long time; those sisters in the Men in Black are still clamoring for him to warm their beds.
Leon had a bit of a headache for a moment.
If he had no feelings for Kara, then it would naturally be better to have a short pain than a long one.
But Tony led him astray! Yes, it's all Tony's fault!
Leon knew he had to say something.
But Diana acted before he could come up with an excuse.
"Is your name Kara? Don't cry, don't cry, what did this bad guy do to you? Tell me, and we'll scold him together!"
Diana actually reached out from Leon's arms to wipe Kara's cheek.
Compared to Kara, who was still very unfamiliar with emotions, Diana had been influenced by her mother's stories about scumbags for decades.
The main character was, of course, Zeus.
In this scene, Diana understood at a glance.
The girl in front of her was probably similar to Zeus's Themis.
She just didn't know if she herself was Leon's Hera, or Queen Hippolyta.
Thinking of this, Diana couldn't help but turn back and glare at Leon.
She suddenly realized at this moment that her mother was indeed right; men are just big pig trotters.
