Chapter 1004 The Key Is in Hand
The blade formed by red energy pierced through Wonder Woman's body neatly, and the huge divine power contained on it instantly severely injured Diana.
"Diana!"
It happened so fast that even Superman Clark didn't have time to react. When they came back to their senses, such a scene was already in front of them.
Ethan held Diana's neck with his left hand, and his movements were very gentle, as if gently brushing Diana's black hair. His right hand held a long blade formed by condensed red energy, piercing Diana's body , The armor on Wonder Woman's body did not play any protective role.
As the energy blade condensed in Ethan's hand disappeared, the unobstructed wound began to gush out blood emitting a faint white light.
Diana felt that her strength was gradually fading. She really wanted to say something, but just when she was about to speak, a surge of hot blood rushed up from her throat, making her swallow the words she wanted to say.
He covered the wound in front of him with his hands, but he couldn't stop the blood from gushing out. He couldn't stand anymore and gradually fell limp, but was gently supported by Ethan, so he didn't fall directly to the ground.
"Sleep well, it will be over soon."
Ethan's voice was very soft, which gave Diana a very weird feeling. It really didn't sound like the tone a person who had just seriously injured or killed himself should use.
It's a pity that she didn't have the energy to think carefully about why, and she completely lost consciousness after being gently put down on the ground.
"Do not!"
Among several superheroes, only Bruce Wayne and Diana are more familiar, and he is also the most excited one. However, as an ordinary person, Batman can't do it even if he wants to rush up. He only rushed two steps away before he was bound into a rice dumpling by the rope transformed from red energy.
In fact, Superman moved faster. He had already made his iconic flying action and wanted to rush to Diana for first aid treatment. However, as if he had been frozen, he was posing in the air, and he seemed to be flying at high speed. But in the eyes of everyone, he stayed where he was, without moving at all.
When Diana completely lost the signs of life, Superman finally 'stopped', hovering in mid-air and staring at Ethan.
Cyborg has become an ordinary person, even if he has any ideas, he can't do it, not to mention that he is not a superhero at all, and his mind is chaotic at this time.
The Flash's ability is still there, but he is not a superhero now, he is just a rookie, facing this kind of change, he has no idea what to do, and he is at a loss.
Arthur and Mera are fighters who have received rigorous training, but now the gap between strength and weakness is too obvious, and they don't know what to do. It seems that there is only one option left to fight their opponents and die in battle.
"Why do you want to do this?"
Batman, who was thrown to the ground by Kuncheng, stared at Ethan with his head up. Although his eyes showed obvious anger, he was calm and still thinking hard about countermeasures.
Ethan didn't answer, looking at Diana's 'corpse' in front of him, he stretched out his hands, and the bracelet on his left hand emitted brilliant colorful light, and with the energy released by Ethan, Diana's 'corpse' The body' wrapped, everyone found that Diana seemed to have turned into two.
"How is this going?"
Ethan's outstretched hands moved slightly apart, and the last orange light illuminated the whole world, as if turning the whole world into a dim yellow.
After blinking, I found that nothing had changed, and everything that happened just now seemed to be an illusion.
But there are indeed two Dianas lying on the ground in front of them. What is going on?
Just when Bruce Wayne couldn't figure out what was going on, he found that he had regained his mobility, and Batman, who jumped up, immediately noticed that another person had done the same action as himself.
Diana jumped up from the ground, looked around with a blank face, then lowered her head and kept checking herself. The place where the big hole should have been poked out was completely intact at this time without any injuries. The armor was restored to its original state.
"How is this going?"
As soon as she turned her head, she saw another self on the ground. This one didn't look so good. Not only did she have terrible wounds on her body, but she could also feel a very powerful energy in this body, which was about to burst out of it. .
She looked at Ethan, and she thought that this man would definitely be able to give her the answer.
Ethan didn't mean to explain now, he continued to point his hands at 'Diana' on the ground, and as the white light in his palms gradually dazzled, the Diana on the ground also turned into a white light ball.
"That is……"
Diana felt that this force was both familiar and unfamiliar. She tried it with a little luck, and found that her arms wearing the wrist guards also flashed white light, but it was completely incomparable with the mass of energy in front of her.
She thought it was the power hidden in her body, but after testing, she found that her power was still there, so what exactly is this energy?
Not to mention that Diana couldn't figure it out, the other people couldn't figure it out even more. They were all in a dazed state and could only stand there stupidly watching Ethan's performance.
After Ethan let the energy wrap himself, and then slowly merged into his body, he fell from mid-air back to the ground, stood there quietly for a while before opening his eyes again.
With a sigh of relief, no matter what, I finally finished this annoying key task.
In fact, it doesn't need to be so troublesome to complete this task. After collecting the three mother boxes, he only needs to kill Diana, take out the 'key' 'stored' in Diana's body in this world, and then he can leave directly.
And when he was taking out the mother box, he didn't need to specifically heal Steel-Bone Victor.
But he couldn't pass the test in his heart.
Ethan never thought he was a good person, but when he really wanted to be a villain, he found that he couldn't fight hard, let alone Diana.
"However... If I were the one before these two missions, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get stabbed."
His thoughts were very clear, and he thought about problems very quickly, but his emotions hardly fluctuated at all. He obviously resisted killing Diana, but he didn't feel any discomfort in his body.
"Humph!"
Of course he knew why, anyway, sooner or later he would go to that guy to solve all this, so Ethan didn't continue to worry about it anymore.
Glancing at these superheroes, they were still confused. Ethan could have left directly, anyway, he would not have any interaction with these superheroes.
But he decided to take it easy, and it doesn't matter if he chats with these people.
With a light wave of their hands, the red light swept across, and several superheroes noticed that the surrounding environment had changed drastically. They were sitting in a cafe, and all of them were sitting in a booth.
Because Ethan has shown countless magical methods, they did not express any surprise, and Bruce Wayne immediately asked a key question.
"What happened just now?"
"To put it simply, there was a guy who locked the door of my home and threw the key into this world."
"..."
Everyone did not interrupt, quietly listening to Ethan's narration.
Ethan didn't tell the ins and outs of everything, but just told them what they could know.
For example, if someone added material to the mother box, he had to find all three mother boxes before he knew where the real key was.
When Steel Bone saw him, he became so excited, because the mother box was "tampered with", and would do everything possible to prevent himself from getting the mother box to complete this "task".
"You said the real key, could it be..."
Not only Batman thought of it, everyone guessed it, and Ethan nodded directly.
"That's right, the key to my home was put in Diana's body by that guy, and Diana must be killed to get it out."
At this moment, all the heroes were very angry. They didn't know who would do such a thing, but no one suspected that what Ethan said was a lie.
The Flash then asked: "Why did Diana come back to life after being killed by you? And it looks completely different from Victor's condition."
Victor's restored state is a bit like time reversal, and Batman Bruce Wayne noticed that the energy used by Ethan has different colors. Through analysis, he has seen that blue is related to space, and green seems to be time. In addition, there are red, purple and orange, but he has not analyzed the specific power.
"I intercepted a part of reality and distorted it, so that there were two Dianas at the same time - one of them was killed by me, and the other was not. I didn't divide Diana's soul when I distorted it, so I didn't It’s not like being divided into two people.”
The guy threw only one key, and it won't be divided because of Ethan's distortion of "reality"—even if it is divided, it doesn't matter, Ethan only needs to get one of them.
Ethan's explanation made everyone dumbfounded. They didn't expect that there were still 'people' who could do this kind of thing.
"Who the hell are you?"
Ethan thought for a while, and used his most frequently used identity.
"Just think of me as a god from another universe."
This is an acceptable answer. With Ethan's narration, the heroes gradually had no problem, only Diana asked a question suddenly.
"You could have just killed me and taken the key, why not?"
To this god, they are all pure strangers, there is no need to care about their life and death. Although it could be considered that the other party was a kind god, Diana instinctively felt that this was not the reason.
"This... because I don't want to be taught by my wife when I go home."
With these words, Ethan's figure slowly disappeared, and several superheroes found themselves back in the real world, sitting in the cafe where Ethan had been before.
