#413 - Return to Paradise Island

"This is Batman."

Batman sat on the wrecked Longtail Shark armor, contacting the other members of the Justice League through the communication device.

"I've apprehended a squad of Amazons here. Green Arrow and I will bring them back to the Hall of Justice later. Is anyone stationed at the Hall right now?"

"Seriously, is our bet still on?" Green Arrow slid down beside Batman on a rope.

Ten minutes. That's how long it took Batman to take down all the Amazons. This efficiency is astonishing. A fully armed Amazon squad could basically participate in a small war, yet Batman, alone, triumphed in just ten minutes. It can only be described as terrifying.

But the cost is also visible. The recently upgraded and rebuilt Longtail Shark armor is wrecked once again. However, the Longtail Shark armor was destroyed once by a swarm of Talons and another time by a fully armed Amazon squad, and both times it achieved victory. It can be said that it died a worthy death.

Faced with Green Arrow's inquiry, Batman didn't answer. He was still waiting for a response from others on the communication channel.

"This is Superman..." "This is Wonder Woman!"

Superman had just spoken on the communication channel when Wonder Woman drowned him out with an even louder voice. Hearing her friend's full-bodied voice, Superman and Batman immediately understood that she had recovered. Excited, they listened intently to the rest of her sentence.

"Circe's plot is to launch all of America's nuclear missiles!"

Upon hearing this sentence, the superheroes on the communication channel were all shaken. Even they hadn't heard such a simple yet insane plan in a long time.

Hearing this, Batman, who was in Washington, immediately looked towards the White House.

--- Earlier ---

Blessed by Hermes, Diana returned to Themyscira in the blink of an eye. After passing through the protective shield, she saw her homeland again after many months. Its appearance was now vastly different from what she remembered.

The original simple ancient Greek-style architecture had now been replaced with Egyptian-style buildings, indicating that the Lost Amazon tribe had been ruling here for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Diana couldn't help but feel ashamed. The main reason for all of this was her incompetence. If she had nipped this in the bud, or woken up sooner, things wouldn't have gotten to this point.

Clearing the cluttered thoughts from her brain, Diana's eyes were unusually firm. There was no point in dwelling on past mistakes; it was better to focus on the present to make up for her errors.

"Stop! Who is it!" The patrol quickly discovered Diana. Her armor gleamed in the afterglow of dusk, and her black hair fluttered in the wind as she strode towards the main city.

"It's Diana! Capture her!"

After seeing who it was, the patrol was overjoyed. Not long ago, the Queen had been furious about Diana's escape. If they caught her now, wouldn't it be a great achievement?

In an instant, dust flew as a large number of people charged towards Diana. Facing the cavalry rushing towards her, Diana was not afraid at all. Instead, she raised her hands, and a pair of golden bracers appeared on her arms.

This was part of the armor Yang Le had made for her. The original Guardian Bracelets had been confiscated along with other equipment when she was defeated by Troy. This was also why this patrol dared to attack head-on.

Although Amazons have a habit of wearing silver bracelets, the silver bracelets worn by ordinary Amazons are not to be confused with the Guardian Bracelets worn by Diana. The Guardian Bracelets were made by the god of fire, Hephaestus, using the Aegis shield as raw material. Not only could they protect Diana from being hurt by sharp weapons, but they could also unleash divine power when the two silver bracelets collided.

Yang Le had to admit that it was indeed difficult to surpass what this god of fire had created in the short term, but Yang Le could achieve a similar effect.

And Yang Le's answer was the silver bracelets that Diana was now wearing.

"Clang!"

A sound like a great bell appeared the moment the pair of golden bracelets collided. A huge wave spread forward in a fan shape at a rapid speed, enveloping the entire patrol.

After the ripples enveloped them, everyone in the patrol felt dizzy for the first time. After experiencing a brief dizziness, they found that their bodies could not move.

Not only that, but the horses ridden by the patrol were the same. They were running one second and stiffened the next, beginning to fall forward under the inertia of momentum.

This was the effect of this pair of golden bracelets. Yang Le did not remove the ability to imprison demigods from the chains. Instead, he turned it into a weapon hidden in the golden bracelets. As long as the two golden bracelets collided, the power of imprisonment would be released. According to Yang Le's test, even a true god with a godhood would be affected. (Referring to Yang Le himself)

Diana expressionlessly jumped over the overturned patrol and continued running towards the royal city.

Along the way, Diana encountered many obstacles, but the imprisonment golden bracelets were able to cope with them. Diana announced her return in a high-profile manner, knocking and hitting all the way, and this scene was also seen by some Amazons who were being used as coolies.

"That's... Diana!?" Philips, covered in wounds, looked in surprise at the Amazon princess showing off her power.

Circe did not reveal the news of her escape, and Diana had lived a "low-key" life for several months. All the Amazons thought that Diana was still locked in prison, and even secretly discussed rescuing Diana, gathering all the Amazons to launch a counterattack.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't need their rescue and had already escaped. Not only that, but she was also rampaging in the royal city occupied by the Lost Amazon tribe. Was there such a good thing?

Seeing this scene, Philips looked fiercely at the coolie guard in front of her. The other party was currently facing away from her, guarding against Diana killing towards the guardhouse. Several months of dominance, coupled with Philips's forbearance, the other party had obviously forgotten that the coolies behind her were all experienced Amazon warriors.

Philips grabbed the chain on the shackles and put it around the guard's neck. The other party panicked and tried to resist, but was firmly locked by Philips. It was a pity that Philips hadn't eaten her fill in months and couldn't compare with the energetic guard at all.

But there was not only Philips in this guardhouse. When the other Amazons saw their captain suddenly rebelling, they immediately responded, swarming up and locking all five limbs of the guard.

"Three, two..." Philips directly counted down, and the other Amazons immediately understood and waited for the final number to arrive.

"One!"

"Tear!"

The countdown ended, and the nameless Amazons exerted force at the same time, ending the guard's life.
