Chapter 6: The Godslayer System

Who is Ares? In terms of combat strength, he's probably not bad. But don't forget, he's the jerk god who always has the "I want to see blood flowing like a river" expression pack above his head. According to the history of the DC universe, Ares is the mastermind behind the first world war. Causing trouble aside, there's no word about him having any subordinates. This jerk never believes in others, only believes in himself, and is always stingy and suspicious. Believing him even one percent is like having blind eyes.

How could Angus expect anything from Ares? Let alone, even if Wonder Woman seems weak, she can still wipe out everyone here. Besides, Wonder Woman is known for her integrity! Angus answered immediately, "Of course, I'm willing to help you."

"Oh?" Wonder Woman narrowed her eyes, and those eyes, like two crescent moons, were truly charming. "You're willing to believe me like this?"

Angus affirmed, "I believe this is the guidance of 'destiny'!" When in doubt, just throw in some 'destiny,' it's definitely high class. Diana was momentarily stunned. She lowered her eyelids, and a hint of caution appeared in her gaze. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the sickroom, she looked at the splendid mansion outside, the well-trimmed garden, the artistic street lamps, and corridor reliefs.

"Mr. Angus! I cannot comprehend why someone of your presumed status and standing would suddenly believe in a woman of unknown origin, wearing strange armor, and be willing to oppose a true god for her sake."

Knowing that there's no point in trying to deceive, Angus sighed, lifted his head, and met Diana's gaze with his clear eyes. "That's right! I may look like I'm doing well, but I don't even know where my wealth and status come from. My life is like a toy castle built on a pile of quicksand; it could collapse at any moment. Those fierce villains could take everything from me, including my life."

She nodded slightly, listening quietly. "This is Gotham City, a place where it's not unusual for the world to be destroyed. I've never been a do-gooder, but I despise the lunatics and madmen in Gotham City who treat human life as insignificant. Believe me, when you step out of this mansion and go to Gotham City across the strait, you'll deeply understand what the City of Sin is. Moreover, the threat this world is about to face is not something a mere Ares can compare to. I need enough power to protect myself."

At this moment, even Diana showed respect. "Alright! I believe you. I came to this unfamiliar world and indeed need an ally. Even though your strength is too weak to help me deal with Ares."

"No problem, I can learn. I believe I will become stronger. I'll also assist you in finding strong allies." Angus said with great confidence.

Diana hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, "Alright, I can make a temporary contract with you, giving you a portion of my power. I hope you can quickly prove yourself with this power."

Saying that, she gently took Angus's left hand, retrieved a 'dagger' that resembled a claw knife, and carved a bloody rune on the back of his left hand. It wasn't very painful; after all, it was only a level of scraping the skin. Compared to gaining power, this wasn't much.

In fact, the moment Diana nodded, the system prompted: [Congratulations, host, for joining the ranks of Wonder Woman...] It wasn't until she inscribed the rune that the next prompt came: [Received power transformation from Wonder Woman; the system is officially transformed into the (Godslayer System)!] [(Godslayer System): The host can gain power and skills from hunting, defeating, or signing divine contracts with beings possessing divinity. The host can use the power of up to six beings simultaneously, and all beings must belong to the same divine lineage...]

[Current host contract status: 1/6. Contractee - Wonder Woman Diana * Prince (temporary contract)!]

[The host must gain Diana * Prince's approval within a week; otherwise, she may withdraw from the host.]

[Approval method - kill at least one evil leader...]

Congratulations to the host for obtaining the mutant skill (Slayer's Plunder): The host can gain enhancements from attributes stronger than their own and randomly plunder one or more skills matching the host's characteristics from the stronger being the host kills with their own hands.]

Congratulations to the host for temporarily gaining the following attribute upgrades: Constitution +4, Agility +12, Strength +7, Intelligence +1, Perception +5, Willpower +9!]

Congratulations to the host for temporarily upgrading the following skills: Basic Combat Lv8, Basic Archery Lv5, Triple Shot Lv3, Hawkeye Lv1, Mental Resistance Lv7, Magic Resistance Lv3.]

Along with Diana's transmitted power, there were even battle images based on her as templates. When to do what, how to conserve energy, how to move most smoothly, how to catch enemies off guard... All of this left Angus dumbfounded. This wasn't just fragments of memory, but also muscle memory. If he and Diana didn't have such a significant difference in physique, he would have really thought that these were battles he had experienced. This wasn't an Amazonian ability.

Angus looked at the claw-like thing in Diana's hand, which was actually a fragment of a powerful artifact, as revealed in the system prompt with a string of question marks. Even so, Angus couldn't hide his astonishment. If Gotham City's average 18-year-old male's ability standard was set at 10, then after attribute enhancement, his personal attributes suddenly became [Constitution 12, Agility 22, Strength 16, Intelligence 13, Perception 16, Willpower 18]. There was no doubt; he had stepped into the realm of the extraordinary, somewhat like Captain America's enhancement. Not to mention the added [Plunder] skill, which was the key point.

Indeed, hugging Wonder Woman's thigh turned out to be the right choice! Diana put the claw-like object away straightforwardly; her lips curved into a smile. "Alright, Angus. I've lent you my power."

"I will prove myself." Angus said in a deep voice.

"Well, I lack knowledge about this world. If possible..."

"I'll arrange a teacher for you right away. She will instruct you in various knowledge about this world. And if you're going to Gotham City, it's best to bring along the attendants I arranged for you in the first three days."

"So, I'm free now?" Diana seemed to imply something.

"Miss Diana, you've always been free. You can also choose to leave now." Angus said seriously.

She seemed satisfied, "For the sake of avoiding unnecessary trouble, I'm willing to learn about this world's knowledge first."

"Then I'll take my leave. I need to fully comprehend the power I just obtained."

In Angus's mansion, there was never a shortage of maids. With a call, there would naturally be maids to help Diana change her appearance and teach her various common knowledge.

After settling everything, Angus left the room, feeling the changes in his muscles and sensory systems. After a while, he deeply exhaled into the night sky.

He didn't know if there would be a chance for the male protagonist Steve from the Wonder Woman story to appear in this world. He didn't envy that guy; after all, in front of Wonder Woman's power, he was just an accessory in battle. And as a transmigrator, with the help of the system, he had the chance to gain powers beyond the mortal realm.

Betrayed by the Black Mask, pursued by the Joker's gang, after several days of anxiety, he finally obtained all of this, and Angus still found it a bit unbelievable.

Suddenly, he thought of something - why did Wonder Woman trust him so easily?

With doubt in mind, he went to the surveillance room to watch the recording, and immediately burst into laughter.

Just as he was answering, the other hand hanging down from Wonder Woman was silently tying a golden glowing rope around his ankle. The action was so gentle that he hadn't even noticed.

"Pfft! It's the [Lasso of Truth]!" This artifact was certainly one of Wonder Woman's most famous possessions; whoever was entwined by it would undoubtedly speak the truth. Since he was speaking the truth, what did Diana have to worry about?
