Death of the Queen
Diana looked at the past phantom of her mother. Hippolyta at this moment was different from usual. The Amazon Queen, who was usually full of majesty and heroic spirit, now seemed a bit lazy, as if she had just woken up.
"I reversed time to around 8 AM," Yang Le walked in unsteadily. "Because I wasn't sure of the exact time, I could only reverse it a bit more."
Yang Le looked at Diana, who was stunned in place, with concern and asked, "Do you need to watch for a while longer?"
"No, no need," Diana shook her head, trying hard to pull herself out of her sadness. "Don't worry about me, can you speed up the progress?"
Yang Le didn't say anything more, just silently increased the speed of the mechanism rotating on his head. The scene in front of him was like a movie being fast-forwarded, looking absurd and bizarre.
Diana's eyes were fixed on the image in front of her, hardly blinking at all. Her determination to bring the murderer to justice was self-evident.
"Pause," Diana's voice increased several degrees, and her hand subconsciously patted Yang Le next to her. The mechanism on Yang Le's head stopped rotating, and the playing image also stopped.
Following Diana's gaze, Yang Le indeed saw a black hole the size of eyes, glowing with purple light, quietly appearing behind Hippolyta.
At Diana's instruction, Yang Le started playing again. Under the gaze of the two, the black hole became larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye, it became about the height of a human. A distorted figure emerged from it, silently, just like a ghost.
"Creak."
Yang Le glanced in the direction of the sound and found that Wonder Woman had already placed her hand on her sword, and even her fingers were clenched until they turned white.
"This is just a past phantom, Diana," Yang Le reminded softly.
"Hiss~ Huff~" Diana said after taking a deep breath, "I know, I know."
When the distorted figure emerged from the black hole, Hippolyta and the guard had already discovered this uninvited guest. The guard drew their weapon at the first moment and protected Hippolyta behind them.
Unfortunately, the loyal guard could not stop the assassin. The distorted figure just waved its hand, and a huge palm made of energy grabbed the guard in its hand like a chick. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't shake a finger of it.
Faced with such a dangerous situation, Hippolyta still did not panic, just loudly called for the guard team. After finding it useless, she raised her scepter and aimed it at the attacker.
The attacker clapped his palm, as if admiring the Queen's courage. When he aimed his palm at the Queen again, the next second the Queen turned into a stone statue.
The guard let out a roar. The attacker seemed to just remember her, and waved his hand again. The palm made of energy suddenly exploded. After the smoke, the guard, covered in wounds, fell to the ground unconscious. The entire palace also became a mess.
After dealing with the guard, the attacker took the Queen, who had turned into a stone statue, and walked towards the black hole. When both of them completely disappeared into the black hole, the black hole also began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it completely disappeared.
It was not until the guard corps broke into the palace that Yang Le stopped playing the image.
"I am very sorry, it seems the murderer was very careful. It is difficult to discover his true identity based on the past phantom alone," Yang Le said apologetically.
Yang Le's ability only allows people to see past phantoms. These images do not contain any water. Whatever happened here in the past will be replayed exactly the same. So if the attacker concealed his appearance, Yang Le would have no method.
"No, no need to apologize, Yang Le," Diana laboriously released her hand from the sword hilt. "If it weren't for you, I might not even be able to get these clues. I am very grateful to you. You let me see the demeanor of my mother as an Amazon at her last moment, even when facing death, she still maintained the aura of a Queen."
"Now we at least have a direction," Diana walked towards the pillar that had collapsed due to the explosion. "Versatile and bizarre, this is obviously caused by magic. The magician who can break into Paradise Island and take down the Queen and her personal guard in one encounter is only one person."
Diana said through gritted teeth, "Circe!"

"I didn't expect the famous Klarion to come and find a small magician like me."
From the poppy that has bloomed since the age of Gods until now, Circe was lazily lying on a sofa made of unknown leather. The leather was shiny, making Circe's skin even more enchanting. The thin black gauze clothes on her body could not hide her sexy body at all, but the owner of the body did not care about showing off her body, and the guest who should have appreciated this erotic scene was also not interested.
"Klarion never cares who he joins hands with, I only care about whether it can bring chaos," Klarion stroked his kitty.
"So what are you going to do this time, my little Klarion?" Flicking her hair, violet strands slipped through Circe's finger. The witch looked at Klarion charmingly.
"I brought a gift," Klarion waved his hand, and a black hole appeared with it. "A gift you would never expect."
Circe didn't care about Klarion's words at first, but when she saw what was spat out of the black hole, her expression finally changed, and her originally charming expression turned into surprise.
"Wow," Circe covered her mouth with her hand. "This is really a big gift."
What was in front of Circe's eyes was surprisingly the Amazon Queen who had turned into a stone statue - Hippolyta. Circe straightened up and jumped lightly, like a cat, to the side of the stone statue, carefully examining the stone statue in front of her.
Jade-like fingers gently stroked Hippolyta's face. This was originally supposed to be an intimate gesture between best friends, but now it looked full of absurdity and a strange feeling.
"Diana must be furious," Circe's corner of mouth turned up. The smile that was originally on her face was just her habit, but now she was smiling from the heart.
"What do you want me to do?"
Klarion, as the one being asked, just bowed slightly and said, "I am just a porter, you are the one who has the final say, but I think you should already have some idea in your heart."
Circe leaned her whole body against the stone statue and said softly, "You really understand me."
As soon as the words fell, Circe exerted a little force with her finger, and the stone statue that was originally standing firmly on the ground suddenly fell to the side.
"Crash!"
After a loud sound, the stone statue that fell on the ground instantly shattered into fragments.
"Who would have thought," Circe raised her slender thigh, and her fair toes gently stepped on the fragments of the stone statue.
"The Queen of the Amazons, who is above ten thousand people, would actually die in such a way."
