Guardian Silver Bracelet, crafted by the divine blacksmith Hephaestus, using fragments of the Aegis, the divine shield of Zeus, King of the Greek gods. It can automatically draw in firepower, protecting the wearer from incoming arrows and projectiles, rendering them impervious to blades and spears, possessing guardian powers. (T/N: I'm using this name for the Bracelets of Submission; the other one sounds weird and kinky)
David sighed in admiration, Diana, the demigoddess, and daughter of Zeus, indeed possessed divine artifacts.
Diana struggled but couldn't break free. She threw another punch, only to have it caught as well.
She gritted her teeth and shouted, attempting to break free with explosive force, but couldn't gain any advantage; both her hands were held as if in iron clamps!
"Release the princess."
A tall, serious looking, somewhat stern female warrior, emanating an air of authority, much like a decisive female general, her majestic figure launching like a cannonball from dozens of meters away. She raised her long sword, exuding an aura capable of splitting mountains, slashing toward David.
With both hands occupied, David's eyes emitted a purple energy beam.
Buzz!
High temperatures scorched the air, and a powerful shockwave sent the female general flying. She crashed like a kite with a broken string, sailing a hundred meters before her sword slipped from her hand.
"Antiope!"
Seeing her mentor, who had taught her swordsmanship and combat skills from a young age, injured, Diana's face turned anxious. She unexpectedly lunged toward David's head with force.
Thud!
A white circular shockwave burst between their heads.
Like colliding with a wall, Diana was thrown back, her head dizzy.
Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, one of her guardian silver bracelets was removed from her arm. Without hesitation, David played with it for a moment and casually threw it away.
The silver bracelet streaked like a shooting star and embedded itself in a nearby cliff.
Left with just one bracelet on her hand, Diana's expression shifted.
The collision of the two guardian silver bracelets could unleash a force capable of moving mountains and splitting the earth, which is almost one of her most powerful attacks.
However, she never thought that one of the bracelets would be stripped away by her enemy.
David swung his hand, sending another wave to knock down the approaching Amazon warriors. He threw a punch, tearing through the air toward Diana's forehead, intending to knock out the most troublesome one first.
Diana raised her arm to block, but under the immense power, she grunted, her arm feeling like it had been struck by a hammer.
Whoosh!
An incredibly sharp and exquisite longsword was hurled toward them.
As David swung his hand to blast the sword away from a distance, Diana pushed off the ground, struggling to break free from his grip and retreating.
Boom!
Seeing the tribe members rushing in being knocked away like falling leaves, her beloved daughter also captured, Hippolyta's gaze turned fierce.
"Themyscira is under the protection and watch of the gods, not a place for you to run wild, man!"
Hippolyta threw a long sword to free her daughter, leaping down from a hundred-meter cliff, her figure agile and emanating formidable power. Her counterattack was deadly, and she threw punches at David from various angles.
Unlike Diana, who hadn't experienced actual life-and-death combat, Hippolyta had fought alongside the gods during their era, even facing off against extraterrestrial invaders. Her techniques were honed in blood and fire, almost flawless.
However, the strength of the two wasn't on the same level.
"Where are the gods?"
David politely dodged twice, as if facing a frail old woman, ignoring the punches landing on him. He waved his hand, sending her flying, and smiled.
"If they are truly watching this scene, I'd be even happier."
Unfortunately, Paradise Island clearly wasn't that important. Even though Hippolyta was Zeus's lover and Diana his daughter, the gods didn't seem to pay much attention.
He found no emotional points from the Greek Gods.
Boom!
"Mother!"
Diana caught her mother, who had been knocked back and was bleeding at the corner of her mouth, glaring at David. She once again gripped the lasso at her waist, her hands tightly holding on, like a cowgirl entering a life-and-death battle, facing a formidable enemy.
Given this man's strength, only the Lasso of Truth had a chance of subduing him.
"Attack!"
The Amazon warriors surged once again, like a tide, coming to try and kill him again.
"Your weak attacks should stop as well."
David extended his palm, squeezing it tightly.
The air ruptured, accompanied by a massive wave of energy!
Centered on David, spherical ripples of energy spread outward. In an instant, they engulfed hundreds of meters, and even the thousands of Amazon warriors still able to fight were like mosquitoes swept away by a towering wave, crashing, and slamming into the hard rock walls, all knocked unconscious.
Amidst the surge of energy, Diana hurriedly shielded her mother behind her.
Like a typhoon striking, she had to close her eyes. As the energy passed in an instant, a tall figure suddenly appeared before her.
Swish!
There was barely a meter of space between them, leaving no opportunity for Diana, who had just opened her eyes, to invoke the Lasso of Truth.
A fist came crashing down, causing her already injured arm to hang limp. The Lasso of Truth was snatched away in the process.
Thud!
David released an energy blast, hitting Diana's abdomen and sending her flying. Before Diana could fly far with a pained expression, he unleashed the Lasso of Truth.
The artifact moved according to his heart, extending infinitely like golden lightning, tightly binding Diana in midair.
David gave a forceful tug, causing Diana, like a powerless bird tethered, to fly uncontrollably back to his feet. She fell onto the beach in embarrassment, securely bound by the Lasso of Truth.
"Daughter!"
Seeing her precious daughter caught, Hippolyta's eyes blazed with fury, and she rose with the intent to strike.
But with a raise of his hand, David fired an energy blast, rendering her unconscious.
On the beach, numerous tall Amazon warriors lay unconscious.
Under the bright sunlight, David held the rope with Diana sprawled on the ground at one end, gazing at the sky.
[Template Integration: 61%]
Before coming to Themyscira, it was at 60%. In just a short battle, it had increased by 1%.
This is still a new way of steady flow of the emotional points.
"However, the next step is the most important..."
...
At the center of Themyscira, within the grand and ancient palace of the Amazon tribe.
At this moment, a man not only appeared on the island where there were only women, but he also sat on the throne belonging only for the Amazon Queen. Below him, was a scene of battered and furious Amazon warriors.
Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons, stood with her generals and tribespeople in the hall, glaring at the man on the throne. Her body trembled with suppressed anger, yet she dared not take a step forward.
"Do you all find this difficult to accept?"
David sat on the throne, chin resting on his hand, observing the humiliated expressions of those below.
And they couldn't be blamed.
Diana, the princess of the Amazons, and the sole heir to the queen, had ebony hair hanging down. Her beautiful face carried a sense of fragility.
Bound tightly from head to toe by the Lasso of Truth, she couldn't even sit up straight, only weakly leaning against the other side of the throne as she glared at the invader.
In David's other hand rested a glistening sword, the very sword belonging to Queen Hippolyta. It was blocking the direction from which she could leave the throne.
But as long as Diana moved just a bit forward, her body would immediately collide with the blade's edge.
The hidden threat was clear.
"What do you intend, outsider?"
Her daughter was in another's hands, and this terrible existence had defeated their entire tribe, Hippolyta didn't dare to act rashly and suppressed her rage.
"It's very simple, Submit to me."
"You're delusional. The Amazons can be destroyed, but they will never be conquered!"
The Amazon general Antiope shouted, rallying the other Amazon warriors to angrily echo her sentiment, glaring at David.
Unfortunately, their gaze couldn't kill.
"Is that so?
But as far as I know, the Amazon tribe have been conquered by outsiders?"
From the throne, David spoke calmly and without any hurry in his tone.
"How do you know of this?"
Hippolyta's expression shifted as the most humiliating secret past of the Amazon tribe was brought up by an outsider.
