After sealing the remaining divinity of the God of War and cleaning up the battlefield, the writer and Wonder Woman each had their own thoughts and seemed to have no interest in talking, as they were immersed in their own thoughts.
For the author, eliminating the God of Truth is his most important task in going deep into the forbidden zone of time. If the "unknown" events that stumbled upon the Norse pantheon were minor problems, then the existence of the God of Truth itself was a major concern.
Lin You is sure that there is still an undiscovered conspiracy behind the God of Truth. Just by looking at the sword that came to rescue Him when He was trapped, he knew that the other party had planned and premeditated to hide in the time forbidden zone; He pushed several main gods of the Norse pantheon in the front, and colluded with Loki to muddy the waters. No one would believe that he didn't have a deeper conspiracy.
Based on this inference, Lin You's killing of Patrick Morgan was actually a bit hasty. He should have tried to find out the subsequent conspiracy before dealing with it, which would have been safer. However, the writer had a more important reason and had to kill him in advance.
Perhaps they initially just wanted to create a large amount of "unknowns" in order to awaken the will of the world; but no one expected that they would inadvertently uncover the secret of the author.
The most fortunate thing for Lin You was that these gods were never able to touch the core of the secret, let alone realize how important this secret was; they had no idea that they had inadvertently discovered the writer's weakness, just like the God of Truth did not realize it until he was dying.
Even more fortunately, the two gods closest to the secret truth: one was abolished and it would be difficult for him to wake up without Lin You's detoxification; the other was killed and his ashes were scattered by Lin You himself; the secret of the writer was temporarily preserved.
After reviewing the situation, Lin You felt relieved and had the leisure to pay attention to his surroundings. He found that Diana was still worried, with a slightly frown on her face and remained silent.
"Killing the God of Truth won't make you happy?" Lin You asked curiously.
Diana looked up upon hearing the voice, looked at Lin You, then turned to look in the direction of the guerrilla camp; her gaze gradually became vacant, and she seemed to see battlefields further away along the traffic routes.
"The god who symbolizes the disaster of war is dead, but the war is not over."
Lin You comforted him, "Mankind's wars have nothing to do with God most of the time. The only thing we can do is to eliminate the existence of God from human wars. Human affairs should be left to humans to resolve themselves."
Diana was not satisfied with this answer; "Can't you do more?"
"Of course." Lin You's answer first made Diana's eyes light up, but the next words made her expression gradually dim, "But humans don't like it; whether the existence of gods promotes and expands wars, or curbs and eliminates wars, in the end they will be rejected by humans."
Humans do not want a god who is above all others; one of the important reasons why religions in the real dimension have so many believers is precisely that gods never appear in front of people. Even if they don't say it, the attitude of devout believers towards God is actually the same in their hearts - He is better off being a chamber pot.
When I need you, you should help me solve the problem as soon as possible. When I don’t need you, it’s best if you don’t get in my way.
If this is not the case, why does the number of believers grow fastest during economic crises and turmoil? Why do believers who live in more difficult circumstances go to church and pray more frequently?
Having lived in human society for more than half a year and been subtly influenced by Lin You for more than half a year, Diana is actually very aware of the fact that she is unable to handle many things; it's just that her almost innate "social responsibility" always makes it difficult for her to let go when encountering problems.
Marvel's superheroes all have their own reasons for becoming "heroes"; DC's superheroes become "heroes" many times because of their innate sense of mission - this is especially true for characters that were designed in the early stages.
The character design of the real dimension always affects the virtual dimension, and even the gods who see through the truth of the dimension cannot completely get rid of this influence. Otherwise, Asclepius in the Saint Seiya world would not have to fight to his death.
Even the gods who have seen through the truth of the dimension are no exception, let alone Diana who still hasn't seen through the truth? Now, Wonder Woman is influenced by the character's personality, and the mentality of "compassion for the world" is completely involuntary.
"How does your newfound power feel? Want to try it?" Lin You deliberately changed the subject; in addition to her innate sense of social responsibility, Wonder Woman also has the Amazon's obsession with fighting skills and strength.
As expected, when it comes to increasing strength, Diana's attention is immediately diverted. She clenched her fists excitedly, feeling the powerful divine power surging in her body, but soon she had new worries. "It seems difficult to control."
Lin You took a look and also found something wrong; because the divine bracelet on Diana's wrist was emitting a strong light, and it was rapidly increasing at an unnatural speed. He reacted very quickly, and in a moment, a new dimension enveloped the location where the two were.
Almost at the same time as the dimensional space appeared, the divine power bracelet emitted a deafening explosion without being struck, and then a violent energy shock swept across the entire place.
The hastily formed dimensional space was not reinforced and only lasted a few seconds before it shattered. Fortunately, the shock wave spontaneously generated by the divine bracelet was weak and had consumed most of the energy after shattering the dimensional space, and quickly dissipated.
The energy turbulence caused by the space being shattered surged back and forth among the mountains, like the whistling of a mountain wind, and the grass and trees were broken in response; judging from the scene and the momentum alone, the damage caused seemed to be even greater than that of the previous battle.
"Stronger than I expected." Lin You looked around the scene and made such an evaluation. In 1994, he fought side by side with the mature Diana, and at that time he felt that the fighting power shown by the other party was stronger than the character setting in the movie; now he knows that it was because she absorbed the god of truth and the godhood of Ares.
However, according to the test results, Diana's current strength seems to be stronger than that of more than ninety years later? Did something happen in the past ninety years that weakened her, or did she hold back and conceal her true strength ninety years later?
When writing about Diana, the writer's thoughts often drift to other things, such as her legs, her waist...
Ahem, no no, hurry up and get back to your senses; I'm thinking about the changes in her strength, this is the real thing! Thinking about it again, in 1994, her strength seemed to be about the same as before she broke through to the Gold Saint Seiya...
No, the woman was on top almost every time!
Lin You remembered that when she pressed him on the sofa, he had almost no room to resist - although the woman said that they were equally strong, now thinking back, they were all lies to save the man's face.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so weirdly?" Diana's voice sounded in her ears, her tone and expression were inexplicably strange.
"Uh, nothing much, just some minor stuff."
Lin You came to his senses and saw Diana's slightly puzzled eyes. He was extremely embarrassed and prevaricated. Every time he saw this innocent Amazon princess in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the charming Wonder Woman who dared to push a man to bed.
"You're lying. The expression you showed just now was similar to the last time you wanted to kiss me." Diana's straightforward style is unbearable even for straight men, let alone a guy like Lin You who already has something to hide.
"No, you read it wrong. It's different from last time... No, I mean, it wasn't the same as last time..." The writer shook his head like a rattle.
"When men lie, they dare not look women in the eye, and their speech will be incoherent; especially when they are suddenly attacked by women," Diana said confidently.
Lin You was dumbfounded: "Where did you learn this from?"
"Irene taught me that." Diana said confidently, "I think she makes a lot of sense."
Lin You regretted so much that he almost slapped his forehead; he shouldn't have taken the easy way out and let that female thief teach the Amazon princess how to learn the human female way of thinking and how to integrate into human society.
That was a female hooligan who dared to strip a man naked and tie him to a hotel bed! What good could you learn from her?
Some things are not worth learning and cannot be copied completely!
The author would never want to end up like Sherlock Holmes.
That's not right. Diana pushed a sixteen-year-old boy onto the bed ninety years later. Could she have learned it from Irene Adler? (End of this chapter)
