30 Chapter 32: Teachings.

[Please read the note at the end of the chapter, it is important.]

....

Four days later.

"Tell me ..." I say in a neutral tone to Faora as I float in my room with my eyes closed. "What did you learn about the last mission?"

I feel Faora looking at me, I feel her closing her eyes and thinking of what to say. The senses of a Kryptonian are something surprising, the strength, the endurance, the speed. Everything about my race is something superhuman. When I close my eyes and focus, I can feel and hear everything on my ship.

This is something I learned while meditating in sunshine. I got into a habit, I'm always meditating when I have no duties to do. When I meditate in sunshine, I slowly feel 'something' growing inside of me. I don't know what that 'something' is, but I feel stronger.

And even with all this strength and resistance, a harmless lasso managed to influence me. I'm curious, I want to know what is this 'energy' that Zero was unable to identify.

Since I don't have information about this type of energy, I decided to ask a man who is more familiar with it ... Wrong, I didn't ask a man, I asked a god.

Ares, The God Of War, is a god with a strong determination. He refuses to say anything, even suffering daily tortures, he remains silent. He is truly The God Of War.

I can't get any useful information about that unknown 'energy' that was on Diana's side, all this torture was useless.

Well, not everything was useless. What happens is, the very existence of Ares is something interesting. Even if he loses an arm, legs, organs, head, everything is recovered the next day.

Ares may die, but this is only temporary. Once, I took his heart out and what happened? He revived the next day.

He is truly an interesting existence. If what makes him immortal is responsible for him being a god, I wonder what a god is.

Are gods immortal beings? Are gods beings of great powers?

So the guardians of the universe are also gods? After all, they are an immortal race that founded the Green Lantern Corps.

In a way, they are also gods.

This curiosity is something that has been taking my attention out of the past few days. What is more frustrating is that I have someone who can give me an answer, but that person refuses to speak.

No matter the torture, no matter the threats, Ares remained unshakable.

He is truly admirable. Whether he is immortal or not, he can endure tortures such as making his blood warm until his organs slowly melt, drinking acid, removing nails, removing limbs, etc.

I already lost count of how many tortures I applied to Ares and even then, he never screamed or cried for mercy. He always remained firm, he always remained silent, he certainly has an incredible determination.

Well, at least my bond with Faora has grown, I also learned how to torture someone correctly.

"I followed you throughout the mission. Your methods were somewhat cold and perfectly calculated. You learned about Diana's personality, understanding her personality, you were able to deduce what kind of person was the person who created Diana. Using this information, you made a perfect plan that exploits the enemy's weakness ... I couldn't do something as detailed as that. " Faora spoke in a neutral tone.

I open my eyes and smile a little. "You can do it, don't underestimate yourself. If you can explain the plan I made in minute detail, then you can repeat the same plan I made. "

Faora opens her eyes a little and nods, then she goes back to reading the data she was studying.

"I must correct you about something."

"Hmm?"

"I didn't know about Diana's mother's personality."

"Huh?"

I smile a little. "I have a firm belief in learning and its influences." I continue to explain when I realize that she didn't understand: "For example: If a child is raised by two kind parents, if that child has no contact with any other child, if that child has no other influence on his life, I am 100% sure that this child would be a kind soul. "

I flew towards the ground: "Let's put this same situation in the context of the Amazon."

"The Amazons live in a society that is governed by women warriors, they are determined, courageous and noble." I sit on the bed:

"They are a race that hates men. They hate men because in the past the son of Zeus, Hercules committed a betrayal with the Amazons."

"If the books are true, if the books were not tampered with by humans. I can use that data and build a 'personality' for the queen of the Amazons. Taking into account the personality of the queen I created, I can more or less deduce how a princess of that race would be created. "

"She would be a noble, courageous woman with a high sense of responsibility."

"..... Huh?"

I laughed a little when I saw Faora's confused face. "This is not so difficult to understand. Just think about my context, I was created by Zod, Jor-El, Zor-El and Alura In-Ze."

"And I grew up in a cold society that values logic and reason. Using this data, you can more or less understand what my personality is like."

"... But this is not 100% accurate."

"You're right, but it doesn't matter. If I'm 50% correct, that will be enough to make a flexible plan, a plan that I can change at any time. Of course the more information I have about an individual the better, but it will not always be possible. There are enemies that I have no idea what their personality is like. "

"For example: Darkseid. I know he is a tyrant, but what does he like? What does he dislike? What does he hate? What does he love? What are his life goals? I don't know any of that. "

"Hmmmmmm." Faora starts to think.

I laughed a little, I approached her and stroked her head. "Think about what I said. The lesson I wanted to teach today is: if you have enough information about an enemy, if you know your enemy as if it were the back of your hand, and if you fight 100 times with that enemy, you can win all 100 battles. " Of course, that is not all, but for now it is enough.

Faora looks at me, and says in an uncertain tone: "But that's not all, is it? Should I always look from a broader perspective? Perhaps, should I make more flexible plans in the future? Should I always have an alternative plan available? After all, when you dealt with the Amazons, you had several alternative plans. "

Faora started to think out loud, this is a habit she acquired when she is unable to understand something.

"Heh." I give a small satisfied smile. "Maybe yes. Maybe not. Who knows? Think for yourself, eventually you will come to the answer. " After all, every Kryptonian that is bathed in yellow sunlight has the capacity to be a genius.

My dear readers who are fans of DC comics.

I'll be honest, I don't know almost anything about the DC of comics, I forgot everything, I haven't read comics in years, because of that, I'm using content from Wiki searches and things I remember vaguely.

This research can be quite dubious, but don't judge me too much.

There are several things that I don't know about DC for example: Kryptonian technology, DC writers will not write anything very deep about it, because of that, I am mixing elements of Mass Efect and Kryptonian crystals.

The Amazonian island, to be honest, I did not find anything that the island exists in another dimension, the only measure of another dimension was Mount Olympus.

The Amazonian island appears to be somewhere in the Bermuda triangle, and it is being protected by a shield.

Another thing, the wiki I researched said that the truth loop tells only the user's truth, it is as they say the truth is subjective. [At least that's what the Wiki said.]

What I mean is: Just look at this novel as if it were an UA. [Alternative universe.]

Take it easy on me, I haven't read anything about DC in years, I know more about Marvel than about DC, after all, I watch a lot of Marvel movies.

And the DC films were not so good. [The Batman trilogy, and Joker last film, are too good.]

I said a lot, but the point is, face this fanfic as if it were a UA. I am not using 100% of DC stories, I am using various elements like Mass Effect, and the original Greek mythology.

Anyway, fans of comics, please don't come to my discord and send me spam in the private message, this is annoying.

>>>>important notice, if the novel reaches 1000 power stones in the week, I will launch a bonus chapter. [I think it's quite impossible for that to happen, but here's the challenge.] <<<
