Chapter 216: Celebrations

The big conference room fell into complete silence as everyone witnessed the shocking scene happening in front of them.

All eyes were on Ares, who had been stabbed through the chest, and the person standing behind him holding the sword.

"Looks like you haven't received my welcoming gift yet, Mr. Ares," a voice echoed through the room.

When he heard the voice, Ares felt an icy chill run down his spine.

In an instant, the sword piercing through him released a destructive power, a power so terrifying that even Ares himself felt fear.

It was an absolute god-slaying force.

He couldn't resist it.

As this thought crossed his mind, Ares knew that he was done for. This time, it was not the same as before. He really was going to die this time.

It was such a god-slaying weapon that not even his father, Zeus, could handle it.

Perhaps only that creature from a distant star who had invaded Earth in the past possessed such power.

Who knows?

Ares would never know the answer to that question because he was already dead.

BOOM!

Cracks started to show up all over his body, and a bright white light leaked through them.

In the next moment, Ares exploded with a thunderous blast, falling into eternal darkness.

Just a second before Ares exploded, Jack knew what would happen.

He quickly pulled out his sword as fast as the speed of light and turned around to protect Diana in his arms.

A devastating explosion equal to an atomic bomb happened at the German front-line base.

In an instant, the whole base disappeared from the map, leaving behind a huge hole. Everything was destroyed, even the poisonous gas bombs that Ares had made.

During the explosion, a strange power entered Jack's body, instantly absorbed by the Infinity Stones inside him, and flowed back into him.

After receiving this power, he realized what it was.

It was none other than Ares' power, the concept of war.

Ares, as the God of War, was similar to the God of War from the Marvel universe that Jack had fought before.

Battle made him stronger, and war could make him infinitely stronger. As long as there was war, he would be invincible.

It might sound like a cheat code, getting stronger with every fight, but it wasn't without weaknesses.

Zeus had discovered the weakness of this power of the God of War.

That weakness was the power of love.

To be more precise, it was the power of protection.

That is why, in the original story, Diana was able to beat Ares after she understood this power.

However, defeating Ares was not the same as killing him. As long as there was conflict among humans, he would not die.

Unfortunately, Jack, this overpowering protagonist, directly used his cheat-like abilities to kill him and reduce him to ashes.

A once formidable God of War had completely fallen.

With everything settled here and Ares taken care of, Jack flew with Diana into the sky again.

This time, they did not stop but went straight to the Aegean Sea and back to Themyscira, Paradise Island.

Diana couldn't wait to share this good news with her fellow Amazons.

...

Themyscira, the palace.

"Ares is dead?!"

When hearing this news, both Hippolyta and Antiope felt like they were dreaming.

They wondered if they were dreaming because they felt like nothing was real.

But seeing Diana's serious expression, it seemed that it wasn't so unbelievable after all.

Thinking of Jack's powers, The news became more reliable right away.

"Oh, right, you should be familiar with this,"

Jack suddenly remembered something. He flipped his wrist, and a massive double-bladed battle axe appeared in his hand.

Hippolyta and Antiope both let out gasps when they recognized the origin of the axe at the same time.

It sent a shiver down their spines.

The reason was simple.

The previous owner of that axe was Ares himself.

Although Ares was skilled with various weapons, he had a deep affection for that giant axe.

It was almost as if it were a part of him.

Now that Jack had the axe, there was no longer any question about Ares's fate.

Jack found this axe in the collapses after the explosion, and there was nothing else except for the axe.

He thought it might be a divine weapon, so he took it with him.

Finally, with Ares' death confirmed, Hippolyta sat exhaustedly on the throne, letting out a sigh with mixed emotions.

"He's finally... finally dead."

Antiope, by her side, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ares had been a burden on the entire Amazon tribe, and now that burden was lifted.

They could finally relax.

At night, in the big yard in front of the palace.

The Amazon tribe was holding a great bonfire celebration to celebrate the death of Ares.

Amazon women fighters swayed their bodies and danced wildly in the Amazon battle dance.

Jack watched the scene from a higher point of view.

The revealing armor exposed large areas of fair skin, making him feel slightly dry in the mouth.

He had to get himself a drink.

However, the more he drank, the hotter the wine seemed to get.

What was going on?

"Hey, why don't you go down?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing the voice from behind, Jack turned around to see Diana, dressed in a flowing white gown. Her appearance caught his attention, and he couldn't help but feel even thirstier.

"Ah... I'm not really fond of... celebrations."

Jack forced himself not to look at Diana and took a big drink from his cup.

"You saved us, saved the world."

Diana gracefully approached Jack and took the cup from his hand, and leaned into his embrace.

"I want to... thank you."

Gulp~

Jack's mouth and throat got dry as he felt the curves of Diana's body under the thin gown.

Looking into her eyes, filled with temptation and a hint of shyness, and at her slightly parted, fiery red lips, he trembled.

"You are the reward!"

Jack suddenly hugged Diana tightly around the waist, lowered his head, and captured those pleasing lips.

"Mmm~"

...

On the yard below, Hippolyta turned her head and glanced at the balcony, sighing softly with a complicated expression.

"This is her choice, sister."

Antiope seemed to understand what she was thinking. "She has grown up."

"Yes, she has grown up."
