Diana helped the Amazon Queen. She breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that her mother was only temporarily weak and not seriously ill.
"Take care of Her Majesty, the Queen."
She gave Hippolyta, who was unconscious and unstable, to the General, Antiope.
"I think she just drank the poisoned wine. It was mixed with the aconite of Kerberos, but fortunately the dose wasn't too much."
Diana not only knew skills on the battlefield, but was also adept at studying and had some knowledge of herbs.
It was the three-headed dog of Hell from Greek mythology, the Cerberus, with a dragon tail on its lower body and snakes wrapped around its head and back.
Once it saw the sunlight, it would spit out poisonous saliva, which dripped to the ground and turned into aconite grass.
It was a rare herb with high toxicity, even the demigod Hippolyte wasn't immune to it.
Weakening her with poison, then assassinate!
Diana glanced over the golden trident and looked at the Atlanteans with displeasure.
Such a weapon was obviously the weapon of those underwater people.
"Have you found the assassin?"
She turned her attention to Penthesilea, the most famous female warrior of Themyscira.
When the assassination happened, she was the first to chased them.
"No, I only saw one figure. The assassin jumped into the sea."
Penthesilea shook her head, expressing regret.
"Let's split up. Let the delegation of the human world leave. Let's go back to Themyscira first."
When Hippolyta was attacked and was unable to take charge of the situation, Diana rightly stepped forward.
The Amazon Princess proved to be very committed and decisive, quickly handling the chaotic situation.
Even if they couldn't exclude the outsiders and Atlanteans as suspects...
She still opened up the entrance and exit restrictions and refrained from creating more meaningless conflicts.
Ensuring the safety of the Amazon Queen was the top priority.
There were witches on Themyscira who could neutralise the toxicity of the aconite.
"His Highness Curry wanted to come and ask about the Queen ..."
An Amazon soldier lowered her voice and spoke to Diana.
The latter's eyes involuntarily glanced at Luke, who was leaning to one side with his arms over his chest and then shook her head in refusal.
Somehow, the Amazon Princess didn't want Arthur Curry to appear at this time.
"I'm very busy right now. I appreciate the sympathy and concern of the Atlanteans. Tell His Royal Highness to please go back."
Diana waved her hand, refusing the future King of the Sea's generous gesture.
She didn't have the heart to deal with the other party. The sudden assassination attempt on her mother had clouded the peace talks, which should have ended successfully.
Not long after, the Amazon battleship anchored at the port sailed in.
The General Antiope took the Amazon Queen to the ship, and they rushed to Themyscira.
"Come home with me."
Diana, who was in charge of the overall situation, slowed down and didn't get on the ship. She spoke to Luke, who stayed behind.
"To Themyscira?"
Luke's mouth turned up. He shook his head and said...
"The assassination attempt on the Amazon Queen will certainly cause the Gods of Olympus to react. If the culprit is the human world, then the war between the gods and mortals will start; if the culprit is Atlantean, then the war between land and sea will be ignited; if the culprit is ... a god, then there will be an internal dispute."
"Diana, there will be a lot of things you need to deal with in the next few days, and that responsibility is on your shoulders."
"So, I'm not going to make a mess; I can't help you anyway."
At first, when she heard Luke refuse, Diana pouted, obviously dissatisfied.
But the calm analysis afterwards made her put away her capriciousness.
"Did you know that a long time ago, the Amazons had a tradition that if they liked a male of a tribe, they would ask him for a duel and then try to defeat him ..."
Standing at the port, Diana's eyes looked a little complicated, as if she was torn between her heart and her decision.
"Knock him out and take him back to Themyscira, and then that man would be her future husband."
Luke raised his eyebrows. His gaze involuntarily shifted to the Amazon Princess, who had changed into her divine golden armour.
He was a little worried that in the next moment, the other party would use a pan, or a shield or something like that, to knock himself out, pack him up and send him to Themyscira.
"This sounds a bit like a primitive tribal marriage, where the bride is knocked out with a big stick and dragged into a cave to get married."
Luke avoided Diana's gaze and changed the subject.
He hadn't thought about how to take Wonder Woman out of the Flashpoint world yet.
Besides, she wouldn't necessarily want to go with him.
At this time, if he collected too much goodwill, they would fall into a passive position.
"If you don't want to come back to Themyscira with me, then why are you here?"
Diana was a little angry. Her intuition told her that Luke was hiding a lot of secrets.
If she could, she really wanted to tie this guy down with Lasso of Truth, so he would tell her the truth.
"Of course, in order to fulfill a promise."
Luke opened his palm and. As if by magic, he created some strawberry ice cream in a cup.
It was sprinkled with crushed nuts, and there was no sign of melting as if it was just made.
"The gift is delivered."
He smiled and handed Diana the ice cream.
The Amazon Princess hummed softly. In the days she had participated in the conference, she had already tasted all kinds of sweets from the world of man.
But facing the ice cream in Luke's hand, Diana still couldn't resist the temptation, so she quickly took it.
'I deserve this!'
"Don't try to buy me off with this little thing!"
The Amazon Princess said firmly as she ate.
"Then I'll reveal a little more information so that Her Highness would forgive me for being insensitive."
Luke's lips were raised. He looked at the Amazon warrior standing at the bow of the ship and whispered, "There's a traitor in Themyscira."
Diana, who was eating the ice cream, paused as if she didn't hear clearly, and then she reacted.
"Impossible!"
She almost subconsciously dismissed the possibility.
Then, the pair of clear eyes firmly stared at Luke.
"Who is it?"
Diana hesitated for a moment and asked with a heavy voice.
If it were someone else, she wouldn't believe it.
The Amazons value honour and camaraderie, and betrayal was an extremely shameful crime!
Over the years, the Amazon Princess had never heard of anyone who would disobey the Queen's will and the teachings of Mother Earth.
"Her Majesty's sister, Penthesilea."
Luke answered truthfully.
"She has an unknown identity, that is, the daughter of Ares."
Themyscira's 'Penthesilea' was not some four-star card from some anime game.
She was the daughter of Ares, the God of War, and one of the spies who planned this assassination.
"In addition to her, Ocean Master Orm of Atlantis was also involved, and perhaps Ares himself was behind the scenes."
Luke didn't mind giving Diana 'spoilers' because the Flashpoint world had been changed anyway.
The original trajectory, in fact, was in which the Ocean Master Orm colluded with Ares's daughter, Penthesilea.
The two worked together to assassinate Hippolyta, the Amazon Queen, and then the King of Atlantis in an attempt to provoke a war between the two sides.
As for the purpose?
If Themyscira lost Hippolyta and Diana didn't show competent leadership, then Penthesilea would be the new Queen.
Ares was the son of Zeus and Hera and had an extraordinary status.
With his support, the gods wouldn't raise any objections.
Ocean Master Orm could also remove the biggest stumbling block on his way forward, his brother, Arthur, and become King.
Finally, Ares, the God of War, who hid behind the scenes...
Could also earn divine power and strengthen himself through this world war.
A perfect cooperation!
Everyone was a winner!
Except for Diana, Arthur Curry, and the human world that was innocently swept up in it.
"Do you have any evidence?"
After listening to the long-winded 'spoilers', Diana was a little shaken.
She wasn't the kind of person who easily doubted her companion's character, but all these strange guesses came from Luke.
And it was reasonable and logical.
"No evidence is needed."
Luke looked into the distance and whispered, "The battle between Themyscira and Atlantis can't be ignited if the Amazon Queen isn't successfully assassinated according to the original plan. She survived."
"So, Ares will definitely take action."
