"Thump!"
A clear heartbeat sounded in Diana's ears, causing her to pause her action of picking up the wine glass. Beside her feet, there were already many bottles of wine.
This was the tavern where the Amazons of Utopia gathered. As one of the earliest organizations to enter Utopia, the Amazons were considered a rather reclusive group of people. They lived at a beautiful seaport on this continent. Under the leadership of the former queen, Hippolyte, they received resources from other organizations and built a small city here.
In the past few hundred years, the Amazons had been used to this kind of self-isolation. After arriving in the New World, they would not easily interact with people from other countries. However, after all, they had experienced the battle of Paradise Island, so after settling down, these fierce women would not chase away the travelers who came to Amazon City.
From this point of view, they were also using their own methods to try to integrate into this New World, and from the looks of it, the progress was not bad.
Yesterday, an Amazonian warrior married an engineer from Wayne Industries. The two of them met when they were building the city. After experiencing many things, they finally came together. As a very memorable event for the Amazons, Diana and her mother attended the wedding.
As usual, all the female warriors were drunk, and Diana drank countless bottles of wine. Of course, other than joy, she wanted to numb herself more.
The star blue ring on her finger was constantly tormenting her, causing the originally beautiful Queen Diana to become depressed and obscure. However, after a long period of torment, she also found the limit of this torment. As long as she did not think of anything related to Saber, she would not be affected by the ring.
She even rejected the invitations of the Avengers and the Justice Alliance because of this. In the War of the Stars and the Undead Calamity, she chose to retreat and left herself in this tavern to drink until she was drunk. She even gave up her heroic principles because of this.
But to be honest, when it came to things like thoughts, the more you suppressed them, the more unstoppable they would become when they rebound, and even break through all obstacles.
"Thump!"
There was another clear heartbeat, but compared to before, the heartbeat this time was a little weaker. This made Diana clench the wine glass in her hand tightly and pour a large mouthful of wine into her mouth. The numbness of her thoughts made her feel a little better. She tried to throw this emotion to the back of her mind and no longer care about these things.
"My daughter, why are you drinking alone?"
A gentle voice came from behind her. Diana's body shook a little. She turned her head, and there was a strong blush on her cheeks. She looked at her mother, smiled, and raised the wine glass in her hand.
"Do you want to have a drink together? Mother! "
Queen Hippolyte, who had stepped down, no longer had the solemn dignity. She was wearing an ordinary Amazon robe, like a gentle ordinary mother. She sat next to her daughter. As an orthodox Amazon, her alcohol tolerance was also very high. After three to five glasses, the former queen put down the wine glass and looked at her daughter with some distress. In her eyes, the pain and sadness could not be hidden from her.
"You have grown up, Diana. I don't want to ask about your life, and I don't want to intervene in your life. But sometimes, I have to take on the responsibility of a mother … Come, look into my eyes, my daughter."
Hippolyte held Diana's cold hand tightly, and she said softly,
"When you were a child, there was a time when you kept asking me who your father was …"
"Yes, you lied to me, saying that I was made out of mud by you and my aunt …"
A smile appeared at the corner of Diana's mouth. "In fact, it's not, right?"
"Your father is the King of Olympus."
There was a touch of gentleness in Queen Hippolyte's eyes. This was the first time she admitted the taboo memory of the past. She looked at her daughter and said softly,
"His Majesty Zeus had a premonition of the fall of Mount Olympus. He tried his best to preserve the fire of the Greek gods in pain. After understanding that destruction was inevitable, he changed his method. Everyone said that Greek mythology was debauched, but no one could understand the hardships and pain in order to continue the civilization under such deviant customs."
The former queen sighed and turned her head to look at the magnificent sunset beyond the Utopia Straits. A distant memory appeared in her eyes.
"The Amazons were born under such circumstances. Originally, His Majesty Zeus only regarded us as a spark of Greek civilization. He used his divine power to create me. I was the first Amazon, his creation. During that time, I existed on Mount Olympus as his maid. At first, I simply respected and admired him, but later, I discovered that under his majestic appearance, he was fragile, anxious, painful, and desperate."
She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her daughter.
"One night, everything happened so naturally … Do you know? My daughter, I used to regard it as a shame. There can't be love between a god's creation and a god. It's just crossing the taboo … But later, when I saw His Majesty Zeus for the last time, at the moment of parting with him, I saw the reluctance and tenderness in his eyes … "
Queen Hippolyte straightened her body proudly.
"During his most painful period, I was by his side. I was the one who never left him. I can't say that he gave me all his love, but I'm sure that in his heart, I was more important than Her Majesty Hera, who was known as the God Empress … For a woman who lived in that era, there was nothing more glorious than that."
Hippolyte brushed her hand over Diana's messy hair and whispered, "This is your birth.
"This is your birth, my daughter. I didn't give birth to you for a mission, but for love … Perhaps in your eyes, the way I think is too backward, not independent enough, and not civilized enough. But Diana, there is no such thing as civilization in love. Someone has to make a sacrifice, someone has to choose to retreat. You might feel that it's unfair."
"But … this is love. There is no concept of fairness in love. There is only worth and unworth."
"I sacrificed everything for His Majesty Zeus, and I think it was worth it. Because of that parting look, because of that yearning, even if it was only for a minute, it was enough for me to warm myself in a long and lonely life. I knew that all this waiting and guarding was worth it."
Queen Hippolyte looked at her daughter.
"Then, ask yourself, my poor daughter, is Saber worth you sacrificing everything for him? If not, forget him completely. If you think it's worth it … don't think so much anymore. "
"But … but I'm a queen!"
Diana struggled to close her eyes. "I risked everything for my people, my country, I can't …"
"Snap!"
The crown on her head was taken off. Queen Hippolyte took a look at the crown that had been passed down for thousands of years, shook her head, and threw it into the fireplace. She looked at her daughter with a smile on her face.
"Now you are no longer a queen … The Amazon will integrate into the New World. We don't need a queen anymore … Go do what you should do, Diana. You shouldn't refuse the war of the heroes. When countless people are fighting for the world, you shouldn't hide in this tavern and get drunk. My daughter, don't let us be your burden."
"I know. From the moment you were born, I knew that you, with the blood of Zeus flowing in your body, were destined to be the hero of this world, and its savior. I know …"
Tears glistened in the former queen's eyes.
"Let us be proud, Diana. Go and save the world. Let us be proud of you …"
Diana was stunned by her mother's unconventional move. The only bargaining chip she used to persuade her was completely shattered at this moment. The sound of the heartbeat continued to ring in Diana's ears, and each time, it was weaker than the last.
Obviously, the owner of this heart was continuing to weaken …
"I … I, I don't know what to do?"
Diana stood up, feeling very flustered. Under the gaze of Queen Hippolyte, she took off the black gloves on her hand. The purple light ring on her finger shone brightly, letting everyone who saw it feel the anxiety of the crisis.
"He's injured … very seriously. He's dying."
Purple energy wrapped around Diana's body and finally formed a complete set of light ring armor. She looked at her mother and said softly:
"I can't save the world, mother."
"I can only save him … as his lover."
"Swoosh!"
The purple light pierced through the world at this moment. It originated from the most instinctive protection and rescue of one's lover. The thoughts that Diana had been suppressing in her heart finally broke through the shackles of her own heart at this moment. The powerful force that erupted from her heart made the powerhouses of the entire Utopia look askance. The light gathered in the air and quickly broke through the dimension, forming a door that led to the unknown.
"I'm coming! Saber … "
"Hold on!"
Buzz!
Diana's silhouette disappeared beyond the gate in the sky. And in a certain corner of the universe, on an unknown asteroid, purple light surged from the depths of the planet's core, rapidly illuminating the entire cold sky.
The light of love had never shone so intensely. This was the softest but also the most paranoid emotion in the power of the emotional spectrum. At this moment, it was completely activated …
"The Star Bluestone Queen has been born … The Star Bluestone Army's recruitment has begun!"
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Hundreds of purple lights pierced through the stars at this moment. On Earth, there were dozens of them visible to the naked eye.
"Intelligent creature has been locked on!"
"Betty Ross Banner from Earth, you have a deep love in your heart."
"Virginia Potts from Earth, you have deep love in your heart."
"Selena Kyle Hawk from Earth, you have a deep love in your heart."
"Melinda May from Earth, your heart is filled with deep love."
"Felicity Smoker from Earth, you have deep love in your heart."
"Coral Filis from Earth, you have a deep love in your heart."
"Welcome to the Star Bluestone Army!"
A series of purple lights flashed, causing a ripple to appear on the order that had just stabilized on Earth. This kind of large-scale energy activity was beyond the past and had never been seen before. The Purple Lantern Army had been silent in the universe for hundreds of centuries. Now, when Diana obeyed the love in her heart and went to the world of death to save her lover, the energy of the purple lantern that was almost exhausted was once again activated. The power of the emotional spectrum was extraordinary.
And the Love Lantern Warriors who were recruited also instantly learned about the predicament that their lover was in. So on this day, the people on Earth could see the purple light that pierced through the stars with the burning belief to save and protect their lover, rushing into the stars with an indomitable will.
Don't mess with women, take care of your wife and girlfriend. You will never know how much power a woman who sacrificed for love can unleash.
"Hum"
Diana's figure cut through the haze in the sky like a giant axe falling from the sky. She easily tore apart the roaring Black Death Emperor and appeared beside Saber. At this time, Saber had already entered the heaviest sleep. His body was surrounded by the aura of death, and his will had been contaminated by the Black Lantern. He was only a step away from the final fall.
"No! Don't die, I beg you! "
Diana ignored the erosion of death and hugged Saber in her arms. She stood up and looked at the sky, but she didn't know how to save him.
The other three purple lights appeared in the dimension of death in the next moment. The four women looked at each other, and the scene was extremely awkward for a moment. But it wasn't as bad as a mistress meeting the wife because they were all recruited by the Purple Lantern Army. This meant that their feelings for Saber were all "officially recognized".
"How should we save him?"
Felicity, who had the weakest personality, was not used to the surging power of love in her body. She had never been a fighter, but when she saw Saber's terrible situation, she couldn't help but reach out and hold his hand.
"He's missing a Purple Lantern Ring …"
Catgirl Kyle held Saber's other hand, while Plum carefully checked Saber's fingers. "Purple Lantern, he doesn't have a Purple Lantern … use mine!"
The former agent immediately grabbed the Purple Lantern Ring on her finger, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't take the ring off her finger.
"It's not like that! The Purple Lantern Ring is the most special, it can't be taken off. "
Diana's voice was a little flustered.
The next moment, Phoenix's voice sounded in the four women's ears.
"Tsk tsk, what a lucky guy. So many excellent women are willing to sacrifice everything for him … hold his free finger … Ladies, the Purple Lantern Ring has always appeared in pairs. Give your love to this scumbag without holding back. If he really loves you … his Purple Lantern Ring will naturally appear."
Buzz buzz buzz buzz.
Four rays of light shrouded Saber's right ring finger at the same time. The moment Kyle's finger touched it, a quarter of the Purple Lantern Ring appeared, followed by a quarter of Plum's and a quarter of Felicity's.
They looked at Diana, who was hesitant and afraid. She was afraid that her love was one-sided, and she was also afraid that her efforts would be met with silence without any response.
But in the end, she still held Saber's finger. Finally, the Purple Lantern Ring was complete.
"Intelligent creature locked on!"
"Saber Hawk from Earth, you have deep love in your heart. You have the ability to love and be loved."
In the next moment, Green Will, Red Hatred, Yellow Fear, Blue Hope, Orange Greed, Purple Love, and finally, Green Compassion, which was very unwilling but had to appear, flashed back and forth on Seiber's unconscious body. Finally, they gathered into a pure white light.
"After thousands of years, we welcome you again …"
"The Supreme White Lantern!"
"Saber Hawk from Earth … Destiny has been waiting for a long time!"
