Paradise Island.

Founded by Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods, the island is protected by a magical field. Not only can human high-tech equipment not detect the existence of the island from the outside, but once you leave the island, you will also forget its exact location.

Because of this, Paradise Island exists on Earth, yet it remains isolated from the human world.

Diana forgot the coordinates of Paradise Island when she left it during World War I, which was essentially eternal exile, and she could never return to her home.

"That's right. " Diana nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wisdom,"But, with your help not long ago, I thought of a way to return to Paradise Island."

"My... help?" Mike was even more confused. When had he ever helped his aunt?

Diana whispered, "It's not important to find a way to return to Paradise Island. What's important is, are you willing to go back with me?"

At this moment, on the other side of the river, the scene in the modern streets became increasingly bustling, and the night wind blew away the thin layer of floating ice on the river.

Mike suddenly realized this was also an option.

Should he choose the life, identity, and everything from the past sixteen years in the human world, or choose to follow his aunt?

Was there even a need to hesitate?

Mike smiled and said, "I do."

Diana asked, somewhat doubtfully, "Even if you can never see your friends again?"

"That's naturally a very sad thing." Mike paused, then said sincerely, "But if I never see my aunt again, I will die."

Since ancient times, many heroes have died under people's skirts.

Besides, he wasn't a hero, and he sat on her skirt.

"Well, you want to stay on Paradise Island for a long time, but my mother won't agree." Diana tapped the back of Mike's head with her finger and smiled, "I haven't seen my people for a long time. I'm just going back. We'll come back together before your vacation is over."

"Then when do we set off?" Mike asked curiously. Isn't this just a trip to Paradise Island?

No, it felt more like going back to his aunt's home?

Mike thought.

Diana didn't have as many thoughts as he did. She said, "Now, let's set off immediately."

The next day, morning.

Aegean Sea, aboard a massive three-decker sightseeing cruise ship.

Due to Greece's Mediterranean climate, winter is not too cold. Under the bright sunshine, tourists boarded the open-air deck one after another to enjoy the cool sea breeze and the romance of the ocean scenery.

Tourists from all over the world seemed to be looking forward to a wonderful encounter while relaxing and having fun. Men dressed as elegant British gentlemen and women wore gorgeous long dresses. Many people chatted and socialized on the deck while enjoying the sea view.

But when a woman stepped onto the deck of the cruise ship, all the men's eyes filled with amazement, and the women competing for beauty on the scene were eclipsed.

The black-haired woman wore a white dress with a slit shoulder. Her delicate and beautiful face seemed sculpted by a god. Her tall, mature, and perfect body was outlined in a twelve-point graceful curve under the long dress. Every move she made exuded nobility and elegance, and her sexy, slightly curly shawl hair shone in the sunlight.

Next to the woman, a young boy followed with a delicate and handsome face, wearing a tight-fitting uniform.

The two of them walked side by side from the cabin to the deck, like siblings about ten years apart in age.

Immediately, a gentleman on the deck stepped forward, approaching the woman, and said politely, "Madam, may I have the honor of making your acquaintance?"

Without waiting for the mature and beautiful woman to respond, the boy next to her suddenly claimed sovereignty, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and said with a polite smile, "Sorry, this is my girlfriend."

Girlfriend?!

At that moment, countless people on the deck were shocked and briefly thought they had heard it wrong.

The gentleman who had taken off his hat to speak with her was also dumbfounded and subconsciously looked at the woman.

Diana didn't say anything but wore a faint smile on her lips, seeming to tacitly acknowledge this identity.

Mike blinked and said, "Uncle, could you please make way for me?"

"Me, uncle?" The gentleman's mouth twitched, as if suffering a fatal blow, and he stepped aside dejectedly.

Seeing this, the other gentlemen did not approach her but suddenly felt that the lady walking by was no longer attractive.

At such a young age, he has already reached the "pinnacle" of humanity and drives a top-notch car. There is no comparison between him and others!

Mike held Diana's arm as they walked to the deck railing, where they saw the vast blue sea.

Diana glanced at Mike and suddenly asked, "Just now, what did you say I am to you?"

Mike opened his mouth, then said decisively, "Auntie!"

"Really?" Diana said expressionlessly.

"Certainly."

"Let go of your hands now."

"Oh." Mike withdrew his hand awkwardly, looking a bit aggrieved.

Diana seemed to feel her tone was a little harsh and couldn't help but whisper, "Don't hug me like this outside..."

Mike's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

Does this mean you can hug her anywhere at home, but not outside?

Top-level understanding!

"What if I want to hug you tonight?" Mike couldn't help but speak, feeling the need to get his aunt's personal approval.

Diana turned her head away, looking at the sea ahead seriously, as if she didn't hear what he said.

It seemed there was no hope.

Mike didn't feel too much pity. If she really let him hug her, he would be the one feeling uncomfortable in the end.

Diana suddenly said, "I remember the location of Paradise Island."

"That's great, think about it carefully." Mike's eyes lit up, and he stopped talking, urging his aunt to concentrate.

With divine power, she should be able to see it.

At that moment, Diana's right hand held a golden lasso, and the other side was tied to her left wrist.

The golden lasso is used to bind others and force them to tell the truth.

There was a hidden rule.

Even something deep in her memory, already forgotten, would be forced to resurface!

With the inspiration she gained when she bound Mike last time, Diana now used the Lasso of Truth on herself, borrowing the artifact's power to fight against the laws of Paradise Island, in order to remind herself of the correct coordinates of the island!

"I remember now." Diana suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and reminded Mike inexplicably, "Mike, get ready!"

"Prepare? Prepare for what?"

Mike turned to look at his aunt and found that her off-shoulder slit white skirt had transformed into a red armor skirt she wore when armed. She carried a shield and a silver sword on her back, and her crown and bracelets sparkled brightly in the sun.

"Aunt, you look like this..." Mike turned around in surprise, but his voice soon trailed off.

Many tourists on the deck were still watching the scenery and socializing. No one looked at Aunt Diana in her battle attire, as if, in their eyes, she no longer existed on the deck.

"Don't worry, they can't see it." Diana said as she reached out, picked up Mike, and raised the golden lasso in her right hand. She squatted slightly to gather strength.

Mike realized what his aunt was going to do and couldn't help but shout, "Wait a minute! I'm not mentally prepared yet!"

Before Mike could finish his words, Diana had already jumped up quickly and moved several dozen meters ahead of the cruise ship.

As the two were about to land on the sea, Diana raised the golden lasso and swung it forward, hooking it onto the crest of the waves rising in the distance, using the force to pull herself and Mike ahead again!

It looked like they were speeding over the sea, creating violent ripples along the way.

"Look! What is that?"

The tourists on the deck looked toward the sea ahead of the cruise ship. They could only see a straight white track, mistakenly thinking it was some marine life, like a tuna. They watched the white water arrow disappear rapidly at the end of the Aegean Sea.

Diana was like a human fighter plane diving low over the sea. Mike, in her arms, took out a pair of goggles from his pocket and put them on, so he could open his eyes against the strong wind.

It was evident that the sea was constantly retreating to both sides, and soon the yacht was far behind, eventually disappearing. Over the vast sea, only Diana and Mike were swooping and flying.

Finally, after traveling ten kilometers or hundreds of kilometers, Diana took Mike through an invisible barrier with a "pop" sound.

Mike opened his eyes wide. The endless deep blue sea suddenly turned into a clear, shallow blue!

Amidst large reef formations guarded by soldiers, a majestic archipelago sat in the deepest part of the sea. The largest and most central island, surrounded by a golden quicksand beach, was flanked by mountains, and on the peaks and cliffs were white temples and sanctuaries in the ancient Greek style!

The large waterfall cascaded like a crown atop the mountains, falling with great momentum and creating an extremely dazzling rainbow halo!

Without needing any explanation, Mike knew it at a glance.

This was the home of the ancient Olympian gods, a dreamlike paradise island isolated from the human world and free from worldly disputes!

Paradise Island!
