Chapter 381 Paradise Island
Vanished without a trace?
Yang Le asked with a puzzled expression, "Then why are you so sure that the Queen is dead?"
Honestly, if Yang Le didn't know Wonder Woman's character, he would have thought she was a usurper putting on a full acting performance in front of him. With no body and no sign of life, how could they be so sure?
"The Guard Corps saw my mother turn into a Stone Statue in front of them, and then she was shattered," Wonder Woman said painfully.
"I see," Yang Le nodded. "So, that means the attacker first attacked the Queen, killed her, and then injured the Queen's Guard Corps."
"Exactly, I think this is a provocation," Wonder Woman said through gritted teeth. "Deliberately leaving some clue for us, it looks just like Batman's nemesis."
"You've hit the nail on the head," Yang Le snapped his fingers. "Then why don't you go to the World's Greatest Detective? If Batman takes action, he will definitely find the Murderer quickly."
"Before coming to you, I went to Batman first," Wonder Woman rolled her eyes at Yang Le, as if saying, 'Did you think I wouldn't think of that?'
"He is still unconscious, and his injury is not light either. I can't let him drag his injuries to help me."
Seeing Yang Le's idea, Wonder Woman continued, "As for the others in the Justice League, they are mostly the same. Some are injured, some are cleaning up the aftermath. After thinking about it, only you have free time to help me."
Yang Le was not annoyed by being labeled as a 'free person'. After all, it was indeed the case. Superheroes have dual identities. After the Beastification Event, not only do they have things to do in their Superhero State, but they also have a lot of business to attend to in their Ordinary Person State.
Only Yang Le is special. He has almost no ties in this Universe, and therefore he became the 'free person' in Wonder Woman's words.
"You want me to help you find the Murderer?" Yang Le asked.
Wonder Woman nodded and said, "Yes, I want you to help me find the Murderer who killed my mother. I want to personally retrieve my mother's Corpse. She should not be left wandering outside. Paradise Island is the home where she should rest in peace."
"Of course, I won't let you help for nothing," Wonder Woman continued. "Whether you find him or not, I owe you a favor, and I will also keep the business of N Metal a secret."
Hearing Wonder Woman say this, Yang Le immediately extended his right hand and said, "Although I don't understand what you are talking about, I don't think I have any reason to refuse a partner's request."
Wonder Woman grasped Yang Le's extended right hand, stood up smoothly, and looked at Yang Le gratefully.
"Thank you."
"When shall we set off then?" Yang Le asked while feeling the soft hand in his.
"Although I want to say the sooner the better, it's really too late now," Wonder Woman concealed the anxiety in her eyes. "Let's set off tomorrow morning. You are different from me. Your main body is just an ordinary person. After being busy in the morning, staying up late might be too much for you to bear."
Actually, there was another sentence that didn't need to be said, but Yang Le understood. If Queen Hippolyta was still alive, then they would definitely need to race against time. But now, the other party is very likely dead, so being anxious seems meaningless. But all of this is based on the premise that the Queen is dead.
"It's better not to," Yang Le waved his hand. "Time waits for no one. Since the opponent can use illusions to deceive the Guard Corps outside the Palace, there is no reason why they can't deceive a close Guard. So, it's not impossible that the Queen is still alive. We should speed up our footsteps and go to the scene of the crime now to take a look."
"Thank you," Wonder Woman looked at Yang Le with gratitude, and without further ado, grabbed Yang Le and flew up.
Don't underestimate Wonder Woman's speed in descriptions. In the speed rankings given in DC Comics, she is actually among the top. Ahead of her are only Speedster and Superman, those few monsters.
If only talking about speed, Yang Le in Asgardian God State would definitely be completely outmatched. It is estimated that only when the entire planet is plunged into war, strengthening his Godhood of War, could he catch up with Wonder Woman.
Because of this, even though Yang Le could fly himself at this time, he let Wonder Woman carry him. It's efficient and effortless, why not?
In the blink of an eye, Yang Le was brought by Wonder Woman to a boundless sea. At this time, Wonder Woman reduced her speed and was constantly decreasing altitude. Yang Le knew they should have arrived.
Sure enough, relying on the Asgardian's sensitivity to magic and divine power, Yang Le saw a thin film that was absolutely impossible to detect if you didn't look carefully, like foam. After passing through that thin film, an island carrying a piece of ancient Greek architecture appeared before his eyes.
Only about one-fifth of the island's area had buildings, and the rest was all natural scenery. Moreover, the climate was also different from the outside world. The cold wind seemed to have no effect here. That thin film seemed to isolate the cold wind outside, and here it was only the warmth of spring all year round.
"This is really a good place to live in seclusion," Yang Le couldn't help but blurt out.
"Paradise Island is indeed the most beautiful place in the world," Wonder Woman squeezed out a smile. Perhaps only at this time could she alleviate the anxiety in her heart.
"It's a pity that no males are ever allowed to enter," Yang Le smiled wryly. "Speaking of which, won't I be breaking the rule if I go in?"
"Special cases are handled specially," Wonder Woman slowly descended with Yang Le. "Don't worry, I will persuade my Amazonian Sisters. After all, you are the helper I invited, and I won't let you be embarrassed."
After the two landed, and Yang Le's feet stepped on the soft ground, Wonder Woman also released Yang Le's hand. The latter couldn't help but feel a little regretful. After all, the former's hand felt very good, not at all like a hand that wielded swords and spears all year round. Not to mention calluses, there wasn't even dead skin.
"This way," Wonder Woman raised her hand to signal Yang Le to follow her, and then walked towards the buildings. Yang Le immediately followed.
They hadn't walked a few steps before they stopped, not because they had arrived, but because a group of Amazon soldiers riding war horses had already surrounded them.
One of the Amazonian Warriors wearing armor that was obviously different from the others controlled her war horse and walked in front of the two, and said loudly.
"Diana, why did you bring a male to Paradise Island? Don't you know this is a taboo?"
"Philippus, I know," Wonder Woman's gaze was firm, not at all intimidated by the tall war horses and the gleaming weapons around her.
"This is the helper I invited, for the purpose of helping us find the Murderer who killed the Amazon Queen!"
