N-A-A Chapter 544 The Shadow Behind The War
Chapter 544 The Shadow Behind The War
Little God Realm, dusk.
Dane walked into the square of the Tree of Life, and in front of the sacred tree, he saw a woman wearing a heaton.
He had rarely seen Diana wearing such regular clothes. It was traditional, but it suited her very well.
The other person stood in front of the sacred tree, with his hands on the trunk and his eyes closed, as if he was communicating with the gods.
Dane stood behind her and said nothing.
After a while, Diana opened her eyes, with a rare look of confusion.
Soon, she found En standing quietly.
"when did you come?"
"Just arrived, Your Majesty."
Diana quickly calmed down her emotions, as if the confusion just now didn't exist at all.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Intelligence brought by the human world."
Even in the Small God Realm, Dane has been in contact with Louise, and she is also investigating the person behind the war in her own way.
After the "Island of Death" incident, Louise was keenly aware that the trend of the war was a bit strange. After such a long period of mutual consumption, both the human army and the sea people acted as if they were determined to survive. It's the same as ever, with no intention of stopping the war.
Aquaman died in battle. It stands to reason that the underwater kingdom should fall into civil strife in a short period of time. The struggle for power exists in any civilization of "Zero Seventy", especially in a world like the Ocean Tribe with seven kingdoms, where each other's interests are entangled. , shouldn’t be re-stabilizing so quickly.
Although there was no evidence, Louise had a vague feeling that someone did not want the war to stop. She told Dane her doubts and learned part of the truth about the war from him.
For this reason, she expressed her willingness to lurk in human society to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
She is the daughter of a general and has close ties with the upper echelons of the United States. However, considering her status as a reporter, the Pentagon is still wary of her.
However, Louise found another way and found a job in the White House in Washington. She originally thought of saving the country through a curve and intervened in the military from here. However, she did not expect that she discovered some little secrets of the president.
"My people found traces of Ares in the human world." Dane said calmly.
Diana's eyes instantly became stern, Ares? That's an old rival of the Amazons.
"What is he doing in the human world?"
Dane glanced at her and said nothing.
Diana reacted quickly and looked a little ugly: "Is he on the side of humans?"
Dane tested it out. Although Diana was the daughter of Zeus, she didn't even know as much about the camp of gods behind it as Dane himself.
In the past, she only knew that Zeus, Gaea, Hera and Athena were standing behind her, and Poseidon was standing behind the Atlanteans, but that was all.
As for whether Poseidon had any allies or who his allies were, she knew nothing about this information.
In response to Diana's inquiry, Dane said meaningfully: "He is the God of War. How could he be missing in a place where there is war?"
"This is impossible, he was imprisoned in Tartarus by Zeus a long time ago!"
In this world, the war between Zeus and Ares still broke out like history in other timelines, but this time Ares did not stay in the world. His divine body was banished to hell by Zeus, and Hades banished him to hell. Imprisoned in the deepest part of hell, Tartarus, the place of pain.
No god or man can escape from that dark abyss. It is the place where two generations of god-kings have been imprisoned. Even they cannot escape there. What can the Ares diploma do?
Moreover, gods cannot come to the world. This is an iron law that Zeus cannot violate, so Diana immediately felt that this matter must be a mistake.
In response, Dane just said calmly: "Diana, do you know if there is an upper limit to Ares' power?"
Diana said nothing, lost in thought.
As the crown prince of the Amazons, she received education from Hippolyta, so she also had an understanding of the power of the gods.
She knew that Ares could enhance his own strength by absorbing the war fever generated on the battlefield. The greater the scale and intensity of the war, the stronger his power would be.
When the opponent competed with Zeus for the position of God King, he relied on the power he had grown in this way to compete with Zeus. The power of "Sky" is very powerful, but it is not invincible.
But to what level can the power of "war" increase Ares' strength? Diana was not very clear.
"If a war of the magnitude of a world war breaks out, how much power can it provide to Ares?" Dane wrote lightly.
The Diana of this world has not had the experience of Ares provoking a world war, so she did not think about it for a while.
When Diana heard these words, she was suddenly shocked. If it was a war of this scale, maybe it could really provide Ares with the power to break free from Tartarus.
However, Diana had never seen the power of Ares with her own eyes, so she was somewhat uncertain about his power.
At this time, Circe, who was still studying magic, came over reluctantly: "Dane, are you looking for me?"
Although there was dissatisfaction on her face, her tone of voice was very polite. She must have figured out Dane's character.
"Cersei, you are a witch who has lived from the age of the gods to the present. You must have witnessed the battle between Zeus and Ares, right?"
Circe couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "Dear Dane, you think too highly of me. How could I, a little witch, get in the middle of a war between two gods?"
"Aren't you just watching? This doesn't fit with your personality of watching the fun."
"Oh, Master Dane, how can you arrange a lady at will?"
"So my dear lady, that battle...
"I saw it~ through the magic crystal."
Diana looked at Circe speechlessly, I bet you really joined in the fun!
Dane was not very surprised by this. Circe was not a very rule-abiding witch in the past. The reason why she was never tied to a cross and burned to death was because she was very good at judging the situation.
The premise for the ability to "assess the situation" is that you must always investigate your ecological niche in the entire world.
If there are many strong people in the world, she will be coy. If there are few strong people, she will be lazy.
Therefore, Circe is very keen on spying on the battles of the strong. She wants to know how strong the current world is so that she can decide how she should appear in the current era.
"Now that you have seen that battle, according to what you have seen, whether the power of Ares can infinitely increase his strength.
Dane actually has the answer to this question, so he asked it for Diana.
"As far as I can see, until the end, Ares's power did not reach the limit in terms of the improvement of its power area.
As a manifestation of worldly rules, the power of power has limits, because the same kind of power is not used by only one god.
For example, the power of "the sun" is held by different gods in different pantheons at the same time. Helios of Olympus, Ra of Egypt, Amaterasu of Takamagahara, Kukulkan of Central America... …
There are dozens of gods who control the power of the "sun" on the earth alone. According to local myths, the Ability File sizes of these gods vary, but they are all sun gods...
This does not include the gods of other planets. The main god of Krypton, Rao, is also a sun god, and he is one of the stronger sun gods.
If other planet gods are included, the power of the "sun" is actually held by countless gods. This can explain why the abilities of some sun gods are extremely stretched.
If a power is controlled by multiple gods at the same time, then the share that each god can get will be different in File size.
Dane believes that when Ares, the god of war, initially had the power of "war", his share was not large. Otherwise, when the gods started those city-state wars in the world, he should have challenged Zeus. There is no reason. Drag to the back.
Dane noticed that the time when Ares challenged Zeus was after they expelled Darkseid, and he thought that Ares's change should be related to this.
At that time, Darkseid began to wage war on the entire universe shortly after his birth. He must also possess part of the "war" power, because this power has not been adapted to him.
But in the end, Darkseid chose "Dark Lord" as his name. Dane guessed that he may have reduced his "war" power to make room for himself to accommodate other powers.
This is also easy to understand. As a new god, Darkseid should not think highly of the power of the old gods. The old gods rely heavily on the faith of mortals, which in the eyes of Darkseid is a helpless person. Defects endured.
But this approach may have indirectly helped Ares, allowing his unique "war" power to begin to expand.
The Olympus pantheon is a relatively powerful protoss in the DC universe. Ares may have gained a greater share of "war" power. This is how he was able to almost kill Darkseid alive, and then almost kill Darkseid alive. The reason why he stole the throne of Zeus.
"But there is a problem here..." Circe frowned slightly, "Even if Ares's strength can be infinitely increased through power, how can he absorb the 1.1 aura of war?
Wasn't he beaten into Tartarus by Zeus long ago? In that kind of place, it shouldn't be possible for him to receive the blessing of power, right?"
Tartarus is located at the bottom of the underworld, the deepest part of hell. Dane once fell into that place when fighting the First Fallen. Divine power and magic cannot be used there. Logically speaking, Ares cannot absorb anything in the world. The spirit of war.
Otherwise Zeus would not have been able to imprison him here.
But for this question [Dane doesn't think there's anything surprising.
"I think Ares and Hades teamed up."
Dane has already seen it once, these two gods colluded once before he became Mephista, why not again?
"Hades..." Diana frowned, "Zeus told me that he is neutral."
According to Diana, Hades declared that he would be neutral before the war between the Amazons and Atlanteans began, which is why soldiers from both sides were able to be resurrected.
You must know that the souls of the dead are under the jurisdiction of Hades. If Hades did not agree, even Zeus and Poseidon would not be able to resurrect those soldiers who died in battle so easily and do so again and again.
As the Death God, Dane actually dislikes this kind of behavior. .
