Chapter 219 The Truth About the Paradise Island Incident
The lowest level of the A-1 laboratory.

Although there were some snowflakes of signal interference, Veronica could still see Adriana's vision of connecting to the Cyberwalker.

The hope of reuniting with her daughter is just around the corner, but at this moment Veronica is not overwhelmed by joy. She looks at Adriana, whose whole body is connected by countless wires in the translucent metal cabin next to her. worry.

"Don't worry, Veronica, as soon as I get the gem, I'll break it and get Izzy's soul back. Then just disconnect and I'll be back in my body."

Adriana's voice sounded, but the source of the sound was not from the sleeping beauty-like woman in the metal cabin, but directly from Veronica's earphones.

Hearing the voice of her best friend, the uneasiness in Veronica's heart was slightly dispelled.

"Looks like it's finally over, Adrianna, I don't know how to thank you—"

However, at this moment, the scene on the screen in front of him changed.

I saw the two sons of Ares chanting some ancient spell loudly, and then the weather on Paradise Island, which was originally clear for thousands of miles, quickly became cloudy, and an expanding crack appeared on the trunk of the towering giant tree in front of it.

No, to be precise, the crack wasn't on the tree trunk—it was the space itself that was torn apart.

boom!
From the crack, a foot wearing metal armor stepped out, making deafening footsteps.

"Oh!! Our great father! Remember your sons, Phobos and Deimos, we lifted you from the seal—"

call out!
A red crescent-shaped light flashed across the air, and before the son of Ares finished speaking, the heads of the two—or the two gods rolled off their necks like ripe coconuts.

I saw a tall and burly body wearing black metal armor coming out of the crack, holding a huge two-handed sword in his right hand, and he just swung this sword to kill the two gods .

"Destroy. Rape Conquer"

Even through the remote scene, she could feel the terrifying and suffocating killing intent and aura on his body. Veronica sat down on the ground with her legs softened. Needless to say, she also knew who the figure on the screen was. .

God of War - Ares.

However, Adriana, who has transformed into electronic data, is obviously much stronger in resisting this kind of mental coercion. She immediately flew forward and snatched the cane that sealed the girl's soul from the body of the son of Ares.

"Don't worry! Veronica, at least our target has—"

Crackling!

At this moment, Adriana's perspective suddenly turned upside down, and her body in the metal cabin also trembled rapidly.

"Adriana?! What happened?!!!"

[Connection abnormality, warning, connection abnormality, unknown energy intrusion——]

At this time, the scene on the screen stabilized again.

"This is. Ares? Tell me, what did you do. A robot? Steve, did you sneak this on purpose?!"

This is a woman with impeccable figure and face. She is wearing a tight battle skirt, and a golden rope in her hand is connected to the position of the viewing angle.

Moreover, this golden energy was actually connected from the cyber walker to Adriana's body through the connection of Adriana's consciousness, and the entire laboratory sounded a rapid alarm.

Veronica immediately understood the current situation. For her, the gem that imprisoned her daughter's soul was no longer the first thing she should pay attention to.

"Adriana! Disconnect, quick!"

[Warning, warning—wrong system, offline failure——]

Dazzling electric arcs flickered in the metal cabin, and a large number of burn marks quickly appeared on Adriana's body, and her skin began to become scorched black and cracked.

"No, it shouldn't be like this, come out, stop!"

Veronica tapped on the keyboard quickly, but it still didn't work.She has no time to pay attention to the epic scene of the battle between the Goddess and the God of War on the screen, and now Veronica has only one thought in her mind.

"Don't leave me, Adriana!"

Veronica ran to the metal cabin, clenched her fist and slammed on the glass hatch.As a researcher and entrepreneur, she has no training, but even with blood on her fists, she has no intention of stopping.

And Adriana opened her eyes slightly, but her eyes had lost their luster.

"Sorry Veronica but don't worry."

"I will always be by your side."

The last sentence sounded from every corner of the entire laboratory in the form of an electronic sound.

"I see. Since then, you have been looking for a way to re-enter Paradise Island until you met me."

After listening—to be precise, after reading the experience Adriana told him, Jacques fell into deep thought.

Veronica and Adriana's story is very similar to what he knows, but there are also differences.

The biggest difference is that Adriana sneaked into Paradise Island by using cyberwalkers and summoned the son of Ares to break the seal.That incident was the trigger that made Wonder Woman lose trust in humans, and it was unexpectedly related to them behind the scenes, which was beyond Jacques' expectations.

"Now that you know our crimes, what are you going to do? Tell the Justice League to arrest us?"

Adriana is now transformed into an ordinary-looking woman with glasses and plain clothes. Jacques knows that this is Adriana's original, or real appearance before her death.

"No, if I were in your situation, I would make the same choice. Besides, the real culprit is the son of Ares. It doesn't make any sense to pursue crimes against you who are also victims."

After thinking for a moment, Jacques raised his head and looked at Adriana with burning eyes.

"But I'm curious, haven't you guys successfully sneaked into Paradise Island once, so you should already know how to get in."

"No, it's not that simple."

Adriana shook her head slightly, and said with regret.

"Without the leadership of Wonder Woman, we can only see a vast ocean when we return to that place-I don't know if this is optical camouflage, or a more advanced space folding. We have no clue about this."

"Maybe that place needs certain conditions to manifest itself, such as conditions that only Diana Prince can meet—"

"The blood of a demigod?"

Veronica's voice sounded from the door, she looked unhappy with her face covered with frost.

"Adriana, the next time you tell someone my secret, can you block my communication with you first. Although I am glad that you have nothing to hide from me, this experience of listening to others tell their own stories is honest Some shame."

Adrianna stuck out her tongue, and then her electronic phantom body turned into a light spot and disappeared.

Veronica sighed softly, then turned to look at Jacques.

"About the demigod, I just thought of a character—"

"Coincidentally, she's also Wonder Woman... and one of my crime victims."
