Leading the charge was Paradise Island's general, Diana's 'teacher,' Antiope.
Although still far away, Samuel could clearly see the worry on Antiope's face for Diana and her coldness towards him, the invader.
As the horses galloped, Antiope, on horseback, held a bow in her left hand and an arrow in her right; with a whoosh, the arrow quivered slightly, and an arrow shot towards Samuel with lightning speed.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
Antiope's arrow was like a bugle call for attack; as soon as she shot it, the Amazonian warriors behind her all drew their bows and shot arrows.
In an instant, arrows flew towards Samuel like a dense rain.
"Ding ding ding—ding ding ding—"
The combat drop reward prompts sounded as expected, and Samuel calmly swept his gaze over them; most were points, and only Antiope dropped Super Vitality.
Thousands of years ago, the young second prince of Apokolips, Darkseid, led the Parademons army to invade Earth, and was repelled by the combined forces of the Old Gods, Atlantians, Amazons, Green Lanterns, and human armies.
At that time, Queen Hippolyta and General Antiope led the Amazonians in the battle!
The Amazonians themselves did not possess extraordinary vitality or other abilities, but after repelling Darkseid, the Amazonians at that time faced a crisis.
Hippolyta sought help from Zeus, who had just defeated his son, Ares; the gravely wounded Zeus spent a night with Hippolyta, leading to the Amazonian Queen becoming pregnant with the bloodline of an Old God, who was Diana.
To protect the only remaining demigod from being found by Ares, Zeus used his last strength to create a secret island, which was Paradise Island.
Paradise Island also had an energy barrier he left behind, which not only protected Paradise Island from being discovered but also granted Hippolyta, Antiope, and other Amazonians on the island extraordinary longevity!
Withdrawing his gaze from the system, Samuel waved his hand towards the sky full of arrows.
Whoosh—
Arrows fell neatly onto the beach.
Antiope's expression hardened; she swapped her bow for a sword, then suddenly leaped high from her horse, and in mid-air, gripping her sword with both hands, she slashed directly down at Samuel.
Samuel glanced at her, and a crimson Hot Ray instantly broke the sword in her hand; with a scream, she fell straight to the ground.
"Antiope!"
Seeing Antiope injured, Diana cried out anxiously, her arms slamming down angrily in Samuel's direction.
"Bang!"
A powerful divine energy impact surged towards Samuel.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Super Strength (Wonder Woman)"
Samuel shrugged dismissively, raising his right hand to block and absorb the impact energy generated by this divine power, while his left hand aimed at the charging Amazonian cavalry.
"Boom!"
The absorbed divine power impact was directly transferred by Samuel using the 'Cosmic Shift' technique, attacking the Amazonian cavalry.
In an instant, horses and riders were overturned, and screams echoed.
The surging Amazonian cavalry were defeated and almost completely lost their combat capability before they even reached Samuel!
With the mournful neigh of a horse, a White horse suddenly charged from behind Samuel, and in just a few seconds, it had arrived nearby.
Hippolyta pulled hard on the reins, her body leaping into the air, her long cape like a pair of huge wings blocking the sun; amidst its fluttering, a flash of sword light swept towards Samuel's neck.
"Ding!"
Hippolyta landed, staring in disbelief at the enemy who hadn't even turned around.
This sword strike was blocked.
It was, it was blocked by his single finger!
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Super Vitality (Hippolyta)"
Samuel's finger flicked lightly, and an indescribably immense force directly caused Hippolyta's sword to fly out of her hand, finally embedding itself in the distant cliff face with a powerful spin.
Samuel ignored the sneak-attacking Hippolyta and instead showed a playful smile towards Diana, who was raising her arms, preparing for another divine power impact.
The clear sky instantly became covered with dark clouds.
A fierce wind rose, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Streaks of azure lightning flashed and danced around Samuel.
"Crack!"
A bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl, accompanied by the rumbling sound of mountains collapsing and Earth shaking, struck down in the direction of Samuel's finger!
"Diana!!!"
Hippolyta cried out in anguish, running towards her desperately.
"Bang!"
Diana knelt on one knee, gritting her teeth, holding up her arms to bravely withstand the striking lightning!
"Did she block it—but it's not enough!"
Samuel casually flung away Hippolyta, who had rushed over, then pointed his finger at Diana and continuously tapped several times...
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
In the sky, light and dark alternated repeatedly, and bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking directly onto Diana's body!
With each bolt of lightning that fell, the pain on Diana's face would increase a bit!
Samuel flashed and appeared before Diana.
"Why resist it?"
Diana gritted her teeth, raised her head, and glared angrily. You strike me with lightning, and you ask me why I resist it?
"This is just ordinary lightning I drew down with God Power, Diana Prince—"
Samuel shook his head, pretending to be disappointed: "Princess of Paradise Island, daughter of Zeus! You have to believe in yourself, you are not Thor, lightning will not harm you, on the contrary, it will become your strength!"
Diana was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at her mother in the distance, whose expression was complex and difficult to decipher.
This expression—am I, am I really the daughter of Zeus?!
Samuel's finger gently tapped again.
"Crack!"
Another bolt of lightning was about to strike down.
Diana raised her head to look at the lightning falling vertically, inexplicably relaxed her body, and let go of the resistance in her heart.
Bang!
The lightning struck Diana's bracelets on both hands once again.
This time, Diana didn't feel any impact or harm, and dazzling azure blue light wrapped around the bracelets on her hands.
Diana looked at the flashing lightning with bright eyes, and the corners of her mouth subconsciously lifted.
It worked!
It actually really worked!
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and golden sunlight illuminated the coast. Diana, bathed in the golden sunlight, slowly stood up. Under Samuel's encouraging and expectant gaze from the opposite side, she faced him and forcefully slammed her arms together.
"Bang!"
A surge of God Power mixed with dazzling azure blue lightning rushed straight towards him. The brilliant sunlight seemed to dim under this impact.
"Boom!"
Along with a loud noise, the dazzling light disappeared, and everyone subconsciously looked at Samuel, who had been hit.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: God Power (Wonder Woman)"
