After Diana killed Ludendorff, she looked around in a daze. But she didn't see what she wanted to see. The German soldiers were still fighting, and they didn't stop resisting. On the other side, Victor saw Logan fall to the ground, but he didn't stop fighting. Instead, he became more angry and tore the German soldiers to pieces with his claws.
In the distance, teams of German troops were rushing towards the base in the dark.
The war didn't stop... Why... The God of War is dead, the war should disappear! Why, these people are still killing each other. Why?

"No! All this should stop, the fighting should stop!" Diana always believed that the war was brought by Ares. He is the God of War, and he is the source of all wars. "Why are they still fighting? They should have no reason to fight anymore!"
"Ares is dead. They should enjoy peace. The world shouldn't be like this. Human beings shouldn't be like this."
Diana looked at all this and her faith was hit unprecedentedly. She always believed that human beings were beautiful. It was not their fault that they became so evil and cruel. It was the God of War who spread evil in the world, which made everything like this.
"Do you feel strange?"
Suddenly a deep male voice came from behind Diana, and Diana turned around immediately. She found a gentleman in a coat observing something beside Ludendorff's body. He was wearing a knight's hat and holding a civilized stick in his hand. He was as kind and peaceful as when Diana first met him.
"Sir Patrick?"
Diana was deeply impressed by this old gentleman. When she first went to London, no one believed her so-called "God of War Theory", and no one would believe a woman. War was a man's business. This was common sense at the time. No one would believe that a woman could go to the battlefield. But Sir Patrick was different.
He listened to Diana's words very seriously and supported her actions. He told Diana that as long as he could end this damn war, he would give it a try even if Diana's remarks were ridiculous. It was also because of his support that the current team was established.
Otherwise, how could Steve, an American, have the ability to interfere in the British military operations? Do you really think that the United States is the world's police? Don't be funny, the United States is just a backward country bumpkin at this time, and the British don't care about the views of Americans at all.
But now... Diana has a bad feeling.
"Diana... dear. Do you think it's strange? Do you think humans should not kill each other?" Sir Patrick took off his hat very politely, nodded slightly, and said to Diana. →
"Sir Patrick... why do you..."
But Diana still hoped that her guess was false. If a person who has been helping her from beginning to end is an enemy, then everything she has experienced... what is that?
"You should call him Ares, the god of war, Diana."
In a golden spot of light, Kai walked out slowly. He had already released his second form at this time. Because he could see that the real Ares was not here, it was just an incarnation, an incarnation that resided in the body of Sir Patrick, and there was no threat.
"Kai!" Sir Patrick seemed very happy. "Ah... It's not easy. In this era when the gods have already hidden, I can still see an acquaintance."
Sir Patrick or the God of War Ares pondered for a while, "Well... Let me think about it, how long have we not seen each other... About nine thousand years. The last time we met was more than 7,500 years ago BC. Haha, speaking of it, we seem to be born to be incompatible, and every time we meet, it is under such unpleasant circumstances."
Kai adjusted his cuffs. "Yes. The relationship between us has never been good. Of course, the biggest reason is because of your unreliable father."
Ares' face froze, as if he remembered some bad memories. But he immediately discarded those emotions. "Unreliable... New word? But it's very vivid. I think so now."
"It seems that we have reached a rare consensus." Kai said with some emotion.
Ares was once the most beloved son of Zeus and Hera, but in comparison, Zeus was more proud of Athena. The conflict between Ares and Athena was actually a fight between the two for the fatherly love of Zeus, the old pervert. Kai did not expect that Ares would speak ill of his father today.
"It seems something happened between you two." Kai grabbed the restless Diana, and it was useless to rush over at this time. He could not really do anything to Ares.
"Are you curious?" Ares did not care about Diana. Instead, he looked at his old enemy with interest. Since they met, they have never talked so calmly. Confrontation is the norm between them, especially since Kai and Hera's bad relationship.
"I really want to know what happened back then. When I woke up, the world had changed. The gods were nowhere to be found, and the once great civilization disappeared. Now it seems that I can only learn something from you." Kai has always wanted to know what happened back then. He wants to know where Camelot went, and why his former friends and relatives all disappeared without a trace.
Ares smiled, and smiled happily.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha."
Now it was Kai's turn to be confused. This guy didn't have this problem before. What happened?
After laughing for a while, Ares stopped laughing.
"Sorry... I lost my composure a bit. Let's get back to the point. I can answer your question. The answer is very simple - because the Age of Gods is about to end. Interesting?"
"What do you mean?" Kai still didn't understand. He knew what the Age of Gods was, but why did it end? Who stipulated it?
"There was a group of people who suddenly felt that humans should not be bound. So they decided to end the Age of Gods and give the world to humans, allowing them to develop on their own. That's what is called freedom... Unfortunately, Zeus agreed. He decided to abandon the rule of the gods and give the world to humans. You're right, my father is a fool! He sacrificed the dignity of the gods, gave up the world of the gods, and let a bunch of apes come to tyrannize. Do you think he is stupid?"
Ares suddenly lost his composure, and his anger was felt even by Logan who had just woken up. Well, Logan is alive again. His heart was crushed by Ludendorff, but after a while, not only did his heart grow back, but also the original injury was restored. This regeneration ability is simply a bug.
"You mean, the gods disappeared because they wanted to give humans freedom?" Kai was a little confused. Come on, that was more than 7,500 years ago BC. Did the concept of freedom already sprout at that time? People at that time were already so fashionable?
"Yes, you think it's ridiculous too." Ares seemed to have been lonely for a long time and had a strong desire to confide.
"So... who decided it?" Kai couldn't say he hated this decision, but he couldn't say he liked it either. Instead, he was more curious about who decided the direction of this world?
"I don't know... I only know that they call themselves immortals! They found the leaders of all the gods at that time, including Zeus. I don't know what they said, but most of the gods agreed to their decision. I asked Zeus... He didn't say anything."
"Then... are there still those who didn't agree?"
"Disappeared, disappeared without a trace without leaving any trace. They all disappeared, hahahahaha, what do you say for freedom, isn't it because they are afraid! Zeus! He is afraid! Hahahaha, the so-called king of the gods, was afraid, he ran away in disgrace... He doesn't deserve to be king, he doesn't deserve to be a god!!!!"
Ares almost cursed at the end.
"So... you plan to destroy the world?" Diana said coldly.
"Destroy the world?" Ares looked at Diana in surprise, and then regained his composure. "Why should I destroy my own world?"
"Then you spread war, spread your hatred..."
"Hahahahahaha, do you think I spread all this? Honey, do you really think so?" Unexpectedly, after hearing Diana's words, Ares laughed out loud. "No, no, no, my little girl, I have never spread anything, and I rarely even intervene. I just watched quietly, and I even hoped that these ignorant monkeys could achieve a world that even gods could not achieve in freedom, as Zeus expected."
"You..." Diana couldn't accept such an Ares. If he was really a bystander, then the duties of the Amazons would really become a joke!
"You are the backup left by Zeus, right... my sister." Ares didn't care what Diana said, but said with malice.
"What?!!!" Everyone was dumbfounded now. Are these two people are brother and sister? Even Diana was dumbfounded. She believed in the gods, but she never thought that she would be one of the gods.
"No wonder..." Only Kai was not surprised, because he knew that Diana was a descendant of the gods, he just didn't know that she was the seed of Zeus.
There is no need to explain what the Greek gods are like. Among the three main gods, only Hades is pure and innocent, with only one wife and a few lovers. Well, even if this is pure and innocent, at least he has never harmed mortals. Hades has always been the most honest of all the gods, and he doesn't always cause trouble. But for some reason, in modern times, this guy has inexplicably become a villain, which is really unfair.
Kai has a decent relationship with him, but they don't have much in common. This guy is a senior otaku.
"It seems that Zeus has calculated my choice."
"What choice?" Diana asked impatiently. She still didn't believe it.
"Destroy humanity!"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't destroy the world?"
"That's right, I never wanted to destroy the world. I only wanted to destroy humanity! I've watched from the sidelines for so many years, I wanted to prove that Zeus was wrong! Humans don't deserve the gods' sacrifices, they are evil! And facts prove that I'm right, this pathetic species of humans is not worth the sacrifices at all, they are always wandering in self-destruction. They don't know how precious things they have got! If that's all, I might not care about human life, after all, they may kill themselves."
"But the evil of humans is not only that, they are plundering the world and destroying the world. They think they are the masters of the world, they actually try to manipulate the entire world, their existence makes the world full of pain, countless lives that should have survived are destroyed in their hands, and they will definitely destroy more! Humans are destroying the world!!"
"Come on, dear sister, open a new era with me. It's time to end the sad era of humans, and a new era should be opened!"
Ares' passionate speech stunned everyone. Even Logan and Victor were a little shocked. They were human beings, but they had to admit that some of Ares' words were right. Human beings are indeed pathetic.
"Okay, Ares, don't say such useless words. It's not your turn to decide what will happen to this world and what will happen to human beings. Human beings destroy the world, don't make me laugh, the world will always exist, and humans will only destroy themselves in the end."
Kai was dismissive of this.
Will humans be destroyed? Kai's answer is yes!
Kai has always been pessimistic about this issue. Think about human beings after the 21st century. Although Kai is not an environmentalist, he also believes that human beings will kill themselves sooner or later. Think about so many nuclear warheads in the world...Kai sometimes feels like he is sitting on a fire. As for when he will burn himself. Only God knows.
Of course, it is not just nuclear bombs that will destroy human beings. Many things will destroy human beings. Human beings have never been as powerful as they think. They are afraid of heat, pain, viruses, water, fire, and themselves...
All these can destroy humanity.
But what about the world?
The world is still the same world. Humans may make the world desolate and turn the earth into a dead planet. But as long as humans disappear, the world will still be full of vitality again after thousands, millions, and billions of years. This can be seen from countless mass extinctions of species. Life will always find a way out for itself.
Humans have never been indispensable.
So Kai never worries about the world. As for humans, Kai feels that if he makes some contributions while he is alive, he will be worthy of his identity. As for what happens to humans after he dies... he is dead, and it is none of his business. Anyway, he feels that he should not be so unlucky that he can encounter events that destroy humanity.
What he didn't know was that when he thought about his feelings later, he could only say that he was too young at the time. How could he know that the world would be so dangerous in the future, and the crisis of destroying humanity would not be said to be every three or five, but it was almost the same.
"I just want to know, what will you do? Rely on these Germans? Or rely on the British? Do you think it's possible?" Kai felt that Ares always had his own plan. As for the Germans and the British, they were just his pawns!
