Marvel's Superman-Chapter 436 - 434 | The Outside World, The Differences.

"What are you doing here?"

The girl's face looked surprised when she learned that Luke was a man.

She stared at the other party carefully, subconsciously trying to reach out her hand, but immediately shrank back.

"Sunbathing."

Luke shrugged his shoulders and spoke with a smile, "I don't mind being touched by a beautiful girl."

Hearing this answer, the girl stepped back, and a sense of vigilance rose in her eyes.

"It's a trap, isn't it?"

She suddenly became serious and made a defensive gesture.

"You deliberately offered yourself as bait to relax my guard, and then I would fall into your trap and become your prey!"

Luke's mouth twitched. 'What thinking is that?'

'Is the Amazon mindset so clear-cut?'

"Why do you think so?"

Luke sat up and asked with interest.

"I have hunting experience! Don't try to fool me! My mother and the others all said I was smart!"

The young girl seemed even more certain of her inner suspicions and clenched her two small fists, ready to fight.

'So, she thinks I'm some kind of dangerous carnivore?'

Luke covered his forehead, indicating that it was a little difficult to communicate with the other party.

It took him a long time to explain clearly the difference between 'man' and 'beast' --although in some specific cases, their essence was similar.

"Did you come from the outside?"

The young girl was sitting on the beach, tilting her head to look at Luke. The little brain was thinking, 'What is the difference between men and Amazons?'

"Can I touch you?"

After thinking hard and not getting an answer, she made a peculiar and imaginative request.

"Well, only the upper body."

Luke scratched his head as he developed a sense of guilt for lying to children.

For Wonder Woman, who had never been out of Themyscira and had never met a man, there was really no difference between her mind and that of a child in this regard.

That's right.

The girl in front of him, wearing a long, neatly tied braid.

Strong limbs, full of youthful vigor.

With a delicate face, like a perfect creation in heaven.

Coupled with the pair of silver bracelets that exude extraordinary vigor, Luke could easily identify her. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

Diana Prince, Wonder Woman, Amazon Princess … She had many origins.

First, the clay figure made by Amazon Queen Hippolyta was endowed with life and soul by the Greek gods.

Second, the illegitimate daughter of Zeus, with demigod blood.

No matter which one, Wonder Woman had the talent gifted by the twelve Gods of Olympus, such as the power of nature given by the agricultural Goddess Demeter, so that she could compete with such powerful people as Superman and Shazam.

Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, bestowed insight and immunity to most psychic attacks and mental manipulation.

Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, gave her awe-inspiring beauty …

And so on.

Therefore, Wonder Woman in the Justice League was entirely another Superman.

In addition, her standard equipment was the 'Lasso of Truth', 'Bracelets of Submission', 'Sword of Athena', 'Shield of Alcippe', 'Star Tiara', and so on.

All divine artifacts on her whole body!

So, Luke only glanced at the silver bracelet on the girl's hand and could confirm that she was Wonder Woman.

"Why is it limited to the upper body?"

Diana, a young girl, kept asking questions.

"Because … There are established rules in the human world. If someone touches you all over your body, that person will have to take responsibility."

Luke thought for a long while and tried to explain.

"Then I will be responsible for you."

Diana, a young girl, seriously said so, thinking of contracts, vows, and the like.

"Well, thank you."

Luke's mouth twitched again.

"It doesn't feel much different from us."

Diana, the young girl, poked a little, and after satisfying her curiosity, she said so.

'The difference is huge!'

Luke resisted the urge to educate Wonder Woman about gender issues and looked at the snow-white skin presented in front of his eyes, the deep bottomless valley curves. He felt that the difference between men and women was actually quite obvious.

At least he didn't have such exaggerated pectoral muscles.

"I'm going to take you to meet the Amazon Queen, my mother."

Diana thought for a while and decided to take the first man ever to visit Themyscira back.

"Anyway, as you said, you have nowhere to go, right?"

Luke pondered for a moment. He didn't mind meeting the Amazon Queen.

He was a bit worried that the other party would pull out the Lasso of Truth and bundle himself up.

Although it was said that Superdemon had spiritual resistance, and coupled with his own Allfather level powers…

He didn't think the powers from Olympus would bewitch him.

But basic precautionary awareness must be maintained.

"This is going to visit the in-laws?"

Luke made a joke that Diana could hardly understand and then replied, "For now, I really have nowhere to go, but I have to figure out … some problems."

"For example, which world is this? "

He stood up, patted the sand off his body, shook his head, and refused the other party's proposal.

The Marvel Universe's five creator gods, who gave very limited information, only said that the next studio was undergoing a whole new transformation, and huge changes would occur.

Besides that, they didn't explain anything.

Luke still had no idea what era he was in.

Many conclusions could be drawn from the fact that Wonder Woman had never left Themyscira.

For example, during the First World War.

According to the original story, a pilot named Steve Trevor would crash to Themyscira and then take Diana to the outside world.

Or, it may be another era…

He appeared in the origin story of Wonder Woman, but there were all kinds of possibilities anyway.

"Do you want to leave Themyscira?"

Diana was a bit depressed, like a child who had lost a novel toy she had just got. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

"What's the outside world like?"

Her clear eyes twinkled with longing.

"Well, it's hard to describe …"

Luke picked out some interesting things and illustrated them to Diana.

In fact, Themyscira had a collection of books on the human world, and the Amazon people understood the outside world by reading books, outside knowledge.

But the introduction on paper couldn't compare to the words of human beings themselves.

"Then, can you take me with you?"

The young Diana listened quietly and suddenly felt the urge to go to the human world.

Themyscira was beautiful, but staying here all year round was a bit boring for her.

"It's back to the beginning. I couldn't possibly take a daughter away from her mother, the Amazon Queen, without her knowing."

Luke smiled. If he abducted the young Diana to the human world, he would be chased by the Greek gods.

And be wanted by Themyscira!

People should know that this island, which was actually called 'Paradise Island', actually had another name - Shrew Island.

Amazons and the Marvel Universe Asgardians were similar. They also had extremely strong physiques and long lifespans.

They were all-powerful female soldiers and would never lose to Asgardians.

As an illegal immigrant, Luke didn't want to cause a big storm when he first came to this world.

"Why are you afraid of my mother? Unwilling to see her?"

The young Diana was puzzled. She blinked and looked at Luke.

Although it was clear that there was an element of provocation, Superman couldn't resist it.

When had he ever been afraid?

"Hmm, Diana, take me to the Queen of the Amazons, but I don't think your mother will allow you to leave."

Luke actively stepped into the Amazon Princess's verbal trap. Maybe from Hippolyta's mouth, he could learn what the world was like.

…

…

After reaching a consensus, Diana took Luke through the magnificent ancient Greek city buildings.

Along the way, women soldiers armed to the teeth, wearing armor and holding spears were sparring with each other.

When they saw the Amazon Princess walking side by side with a man, there was an incredulous look in their eyes.

The unconcealed amazement as if they had seen some rare creature made Luke, who was calm and composed, a little uncomfortable.

Amazons live in Themyscira.

This giant island, isolated from the rest of the world, was created by the five goddesses of Olympus and later became the residence of the Amazon tribes who believed in the earth goddess Gaia.

Because it had been isolated from the world for thousands of years, no one had ever broken into this idyllic island.

Amazons living on the island had never seen a real 'man'. For them, a man was just a word in books.

"I'm suddenly a little scared … will they eat me?"

Luke joked.

He couldn't help but wonder. The Amazons were all female, so how would they … reproduce?

Or were they all into the same-sex?

"The Amazons are all good, brave warriors. They don't eat people, and -- I'll protect you!"

The innocent girl Diana said so with her head held high, apparently not understanding that it was just a joke.

Having grown up in Themyscira, a feminist-like society, Diana's interactions with this young man, who called himself a traveler, would always lead to this kind of bemusement.

This was the result of a huge difference between the two civilizations, and the Amazon Princess wasn't like the girls Luke had known.

She was more like a brave and unyielding warrior, advocating just and fair fights and respecting the brave and the strong.

Underneath this identity, she was just a young girl, ignorant of the world.

After being tested by those intense gazes, Luke stepped into an imposing palace.

It was built in the ancient Greek style with tall columns carved with intricate patterns.

Like surging waves and swaying flames, it was delicate and elegant, full of harmony and perfection as a whole.

Footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and Diana stepped forward first.

A charming, mature woman sat on the throne, looking down and talking to a tall woman in full armor beside her.

The Amazon Princess rushed over to embrace her mother, nuzzling her cheek intimately and whispering in her ear.

"Man, you claim to be a traveler?"

After listening to everything, the Amazon Queen looked at the first man who ever broke into Themyscira.

Hippolyta looked at the other party with critical eyes. As the Queen of the Amazons, she was once a demigod, strong enough to stand side by side with the Gods of Olympus.

The calm eyes carried an unparalleled majesty, like a whistling thunderbolt, with a power that shook the hearts of people and a beautiful face that one would never dare to disrespect.

Under her gaze, mortals would only speak the truth with fear and trepidation.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Luke learned of the noble status of the person on the throne and gracefully bowed with a slight arch of his head.

"I started from the North American continent and drifted around the world on a cruise ship, enjoying the customs of different countries. My life was too mediocre, and the adventure life on the ocean was so rich and colorful that I couldn't let it go."

"Not long ago, I went to visit the glorious historical sites of ancient Greece, but unfortunately, I was caught in a storm near the Aegean Sea and drifted here with the currents."

Luke's tone was sincere, and his eyes were calm.

As if all this had really happened. He was indeed a traveler who had an unfortunate storm.

"Outsiders, Themyscira is not the place for you; it is the home of the Amazons."

Hippolyta spoke indifferently. She didn't dispel her doubts. Even the Gods of Olympus had heard about the complexity and changeability of human beings.

"I'm sorry to disturb your quiet life, and I swear to the gods that I will never say a word about this place."

Luke seriously made a promise. He was eager to return to human society to see which node of time he had descended into.

"By Hera above, I'm glad you can keep the secret for us."

Hippolyta smiled as if she was satisfied with the answer.

"In return, we will send you back to the human world."

Luke nodded. The Amazon Queen shouldn't believe in him so easily.

It's just that, for some purpose, the other party didn't adopt a more violent method.

Hippolyta stood up. Her luxurious and smooth dark gold robe draped over her body, outlining her slender figure. Her healthy and lively daughter was beside her.

Because Themyscira was blessed by the five goddesses, the Amazons had a long lifespan.

Her Royal Highness, the Queen, hadn't suffered the ravages of the years and still maintained her charming appearance, like a plump, sweet fruit.

At this point, Zeus, who was sowing seeds all over the world, had a good eye.

"We still need to discuss when to send you back to the human world. Diana will arrange accommodation for you. It's best not to wander around, traveler. Themyscira is not the world where men live. It has many dangerous places."

The graceful Queen of the Amazons watched the outsider and her daughter leave. The afterglow of the sunset shone from the horizon, and she and another tall warrior woman were the only ones left in the huge, empty, lofty palace.

"Antiope, what do you think of this man who broke into Themyscira?"

The Queen asked the person beside her.

This tall, cold-blooded female warrior was the only general in Themyscira and the bravest warrior of the Amazons.

When Hippolyta was in doubt or hesitant, she usually sought and considered her advice.

"Not honest enough, but doesn't look like a liar, and doesn't seem to be one of those weak men."

The female general spoke frankly about her inner thoughts. Her resolute face looked cold.

Hippolyta nodded. She recalled the scene of meeting Luke.

The other party was upright, full of composure and calmness, without the slightest alarm and surprise.

It was as if the mythical scene in front of him couldn't shake the calmness inside.

The deep eyes carried a mysterious aura.

'He doesn't look like an ordinary man.'

She thought so.

"This outsider isn't the real threat we're facing; the outside world is."

Hippolyta's expression was grave, and her voice grew deeper.

"After a long period of history, the Amazons can no longer stand alone in the world. Sooner or later, mankind will discover the existence of Themyscira. We should make things develop in a good direction."

"We need to communicate with the outside world, to have a messenger of peace, to step out of Themyscira and go to the world of men, to spread the message of peace for the Amazons."

The Queen watched the sunset sinking into the sea… The calmness of her mind was like a seagull skimming the surface of the water, creating small ripples.
