Donna seemed to sense something, and looked over. Upon realizing it was Aaron, her cheeks suddenly flushed and she nervously turned away.
She, who could remain calm under the gaze of thousands, trembled nervously due to Aaron's attention. This wasn't fear, it was excitement.
Donna viewed Diana as an idol, and she subconsciously copied her experiences.
Aaron was Diana's man, which made Donna subconsciously develop certain special feelings for Aaron.
Especially since Aaron was truly handsome!
Before, Donna dared not express her thoughts, hiding among countless Amazon women, becoming a foil, watching Aaron and Diana.
But now, she had awaited an opportunity to shine.
As long as she could defeat this guy in front of her, perhaps she could follow in her idol's footsteps.
Come on, Donna!
After secretly cheering herself on, Donna, holding the lasso, sternly said, "Kneel, invader, and immediately cease your wicked deeds."
Donna's voice seemed to carry some unknown magic. With the lasso's enhancement, it almost shook the First Born's mind.
This was her Lasso of Persuasion, which, when activated, turned silver, contrasting with Diana's golden lasso. If the bound person's willpower was weaker than Donna's, they would act according to her demands.
However, The First Born's willpower was extremely strong.
For revenge, he endured the whispers and taunts of the Titans, spending a thousand years climbing out of the Earth's core.
How could such a determined individual be compared to Donna?
The First Born was only dazed for an instant before breaking free from the Lasso of Persuasion's effect and forcibly flinging Donna away with brute strength.
"Nice show, but your will is too weak. Is this all a so-called demigod is capable of?" The First Born laughed wildly.
He suddenly remembered something and came back to his senses.
What he said next sparked anger and outrage from everyone.
"You are Donna Troy? The spy the Titans left on Themyscira?"
"Little girl, I represent the will of the Titans. Now, you can return to our embrace."
Hippolyta looked at Donna in surprise. "You are with the Titans?"
Donna immediately shook her head. "No, impossible!"
"The divine power bestowed by the Titans flows within you. Now, if you just kill the Amazons beside you, you will awaken that great power."
The First Born's voice was like a devil's whisper, seemingly containing some tangible power, forcing Donna to retreat continuously.
"Don't deny it. This lasso of yours was forged by the Titanss. Diana is your enemy, your ultimate fated enemy whom you are destined to kill."
Donna looked flustered. She noticed the suspicion in the eyes of her Amazon companions. Even Hippolyta and Antiope now looked at her with alarm, and even secretly began to prepare to prevent her betrayal.
Having never experienced such a thing, Donna had no experience in handling it. She bit her lip in fear, her gaze sweeping around for help, finally meeting Aaron's eyes.
"Don't let your guard down. He's just trying to distract you." Aaron said calmly.
Donna was stunned, then reacted, but just as she was about to strengthen the lasso's hold, the First Born seized the opportunity to break free from the lasso.
"Foolish Amazons, when you raise your weapons against me, you are no longer friends, but enemies."
"Stop watching the show, kill them!"
The First Born said to Cassandra and the others.
"Leave it to us. Not a single person here will escape."
Eris, the Goddess of Discord, silently exercised her divine authority.
The Amazon Warriors, who had originally been wary and defensive, mostly turned on each other in an instant, pointing their weapons at their own people and fighting fiercely.
As Ares's daughter, Eris inherited a part of Ares's abilities, namely "discord," which forms a factor of war. Wherever she goes, discord will erupt, leading to human calamities.
In the past, Eris was Ares's most trusted and admired daughter.
Now…
Eris's power of discord is fatal to ordinary Amazons.
However, Diana and Donna were powerless to stop it.
To curb discord, one must either wait for Eris to retreat voluntarily, or kill her. Otherwise, only a more powerful concept could be used.
However, this is undoubtedly wishful thinking. The First Born would not let them do that,
And by the time they came up with a suitable method, Themyscira would probably have no other living beings left.
Not just her, Eris's brothers, Phobos, God of Fear, and Deimos, God of Dread, were also wantonly unleashing their divine authority on Themyscira.
When the three of them combined, they could trigger large-scale wars, providing themselves and Ares with a continuous supply of divine power.
The small Themyscira simply could not withstand their combined attack. Even Diana and Donna were affected by this power.
"We must stop them!"
Diana clutched her head, throwing out the Lasso of Truth.
"Your opponent is me!"
The First Born immediately appeared in front of Diana, grabbed the Lasso of Truth with one hand, and threw Diana aside.
Donna immediately stepped forward to attack Eris. However, she, who had not yet awakened her Titan power, was like a slightly larger child in front of Eris. After a few moves, she was sent flying.
Hippolyta and Antiope wanted to step forward to help but Phobos, God of Fear, came before them, and an invisible force of fear pressed the two of them rigid, their faces constantly changing, as if they had fallen into some terrifying scene.
As for the other Amazon Warriors, they had long been affected by Eris's divine power and were attacking each other.
For a time, the vast Themyscira became precarious.
Artemis was also affected by the divine power of the three children of Ares. As her face became ferocious and full of fighting spirit, she wanted to seek Circe nearby and attack her.
Seeing this, Aaron pointed his finger, and golden light surged into Artemis. The power of sacred evolution instantly washed away all negative buffs.
Artemis came to her senses. "Sorry, I didn't mean to attack you just now."
Circe was clearly also affected by divine power, resisting with difficulty. "But you wanted to attack me."
Artemis pursed her lips, ignored Circe, and looked at Aaron with a pleading gaze. "Lord… Master, only you can save Themyscira now, please help us repel them."
Aaron shook his head. "If I intervene every time, then even if this crisis is overcome, Themyscira will eventually be destroyed."
Just as Artemis felt downcast, Aaron's words took a turn.
"However… I can help you activate your original powers."
Aaron looked at Donna and Diana.
Lightning burst from his eyes, surging into their bodies in an instant, as if opening a lock. The doors of divine power, originally hidden within them, opened, and the power of the Titans and Old Gods surged.
At the same time, Aaron lightly stomped his foot. A golden halo swept outwards from him, raising faint waves, and then all the negative forces of the Amazon Warriors were cleared away.
This scene made Eris and the other two look over in horror.
"What kind of power is that!"
As children of Ares, Eris and her companions were incredibly confident in their power. Once they unleashed their divine power, even gods of the same rank would be affected.
Demigods like Diana and Donna only lasted longer than ordinary Amazons. They endured the stirring of evil thoughts in their hearts while also fighting powerful enemies, so defeat was only a matter of time.
The outcome of this battle was decided from the very beginning.
However, they did not anticipate that there was another strong individual on Themyscira. And he could easily break their divine authority.
Even the legendary God King Zeus might not have such ability, right?
What frightened Eris even more was that, Aaron merely glared and it was as if Donna had been injected with hormones, her power increasing dramatically every minute.
Originally, Eris could crush Donna with one hand. Now she had to go all out just to contend with her and Donna's power was still increasing.
"Titans' power!"
"You actually awakened the power of the Titans!"
Eris was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
The Titans were beings who could contend with Zeus.
Donna was an even more terrifying heir, used by the Titans to counter Diana and Zeus. She possessed the blessings of several of the greatest Titans within her,
It didn't matter if she didn't awaken. But once awakened, she could instantly master multiple Titan authorities.
Eris cursed those foolish Titanss in her mind.
This "double-edged sword" was too sharp, it was about to devour its master.
The First Born also felt the pressure.
After Diana's power was activated by Aaron, her physique, which had already begun to awaken, instantly ascended to a new level.
Lightning belonging to Zeus coiled around her body.
That magnificent, grand, ancient, and majestic aura of the Old gods emanated, giving The First Born the illusion of facing Zeus directly.
Without a doubt, Diana could no longer be called a "demigod". She could be said to be a powerful Old god.
"That guy is strange! I'll hold these two back, Cassandra, you and they go kill him!" The First Born shouted loudly.
Cassandra pointed at herself, bewildered. "Me?"
She looked at Aaron, who seemed like a mere spectator and posed no threat. If it weren't for his casual actions just now that reversed the situation, they probably wouldn't have paid attention to this overly handsome guy until now.
Although Aaron hadn't truly made a move yet, any discerning person could see that Aaron, subtly surrounded by the Amazon women in the very center, was the true decision-maker of Themyscira. Perhaps also the most terrifying presence on the scene.
"Don't hesitate! Deimos, Phobos, you two go together!"
Although The First Born wasn't very bright, he could sense a faint threat emanating from Aaron.
They must work together to kill Aaron!
Then, the remaining guys on Themyscira would be of no concern.
Deimos, God of Dread, hesitated. He subconsciously glanced at Aaron, and their eyes met. In that instant, it was as if he was seeing Ares for the first time when he opened his eyes as a newborn.
He was still a clueless, helpless infant, while Ares was already one of the most powerful and renowned chief gods.
Having confirmed the gaze, this one was the big daddy.
Deimos murmured, "Could it be… he's the real culprit?"
Eris and Phobos's hearts stirred.
Aaron was the bastard who killed their father?
The three exchanged glances.
Since it was a vendetta for patricide, there would be no peaceful resolution today.
"All together!"
The three of them, with a tacit understanding, abandoned their respective opponents.
The First Born endured a punch from Diana and positioned himself in front of Donna, fighting two awakened warriors alone.
Even as powerful as The First Born was, facing two terrifying main gods no weaker than himself at the same time, was no easy feat. Coupled with their luxurious, max-level divine gear, he was under immense pressure for a time.
On the other side.
Cassandra saw Eris and her two brothers attack simultaneously, gritted her teeth, and followed closely.
Because Cassandra's mother was a mortal, the bloodline power she inherited from Zeus was slightly weaker. Although she awakened earlier than Diana, she only inherited the more standard super strength, super defense, and super reflexes.
Beyond that, she could control others with her voice. This was a power similar to 'what is said comes to pass,' or it could be called prophecy, somewhere in between the two.
She could control others through language, but because her inherited divine bloodline was weak, this ability was often difficult for her to utilize. At least when facing demigods of the same level, or even true gods, it was hard for it to play a decisive role. Therefore, her strength was primarily in combat using her powerful physique. The control ability served more as support.
"Submit to me!"
"Pfft—"
Cassandra had just tried to use her ability to control Aaron's mind, but the moment she spoke, she spat blood wildly due to a magical backlash.
She looked at Aaron in terror. This was the first time she had suffered such a severe magical backlash. Not only were various parts of her body torn by the rampaging magic, reducing her power by seventy percent, she had also been completely drained of all her divine power.
Her face was pale, and her limbs were weak. At that moment, she seemed to see the Dark Goddess beckoning to her.
Cassandra's immediate and incessant vomiting of blood startled Eris and her two brothers.
Before they could figure out why, Aaron had already appeared beside Cassandra at some unknown moment and grabbed her. Cassandra was about to resist, but her weakened body was powerless to break free from his large hand.
With a flash of a black hole, Eris and the others could no longer sense Cassandra's aura.
