"Tell me, Queen Mother, where do we come from?" Diana looked at the stars in the distance on the beach of Paradise Island. At a young age, she was very curious about the world outside Paradise Island. She was also curious about the things that the Amazons believed in for endless years. The gods of Olympus were very interested.

Diana knew the gods were real, but she had never seen them.

"We are the creations of the Olympus gods, Diana." Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons looked at her daughter tenderly and said, "The gods need believers, and they need people who perform their duties for them in the human world. Warriors, and those warriors have always been men. In order to compete with other gods for the faith of men, the Olympian gods held a meeting. Ares, the son of Zeus and the god of war, announced that he would launch a large-scale The wars triggered the desire of human beings to fight for power, and the gods could take the opportunity to offer an olive branch or directly force them to kneel down. Artemis, the goddess of hunting, proposed a plan to create a new race, an all-female race. With the same strength as men, and possessing the virtues of kindness and reason, they will show mankind the justice and greatness of the gods."

"That's us, right?" Diana's silky hair fluttered with the sea breeze.

"Yes, Diana. Zeus acquiesced to this plan. Although Ares objected, the goddesses still gave birth to us Amazons through the womb of Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth. They gave us beauty and wisdom, and other things that did not belong to The power of men. They gave us the golden belt of Gaia, the goddess of the earth, so that we can serve and worship the Olympian gods forever." Hippolyta ruffled Diana's hair, causing the girl to giggle, "We Founded Shemisqela, the great city-state ruled by women, but the men did not treat us as equals as the goddesses expected. They were jealous of our strength and great achievements. They could not conquer us, so they began to slander us, and Hercules tried to defeat us.”

"That's the son of God King Zeus, right?" Diana blinked.

"Yes, a demigod with infinite power. He got the divine power of Hera, and he also got the immortal body." Hippolyta's eyes were slightly angry, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. It was like seeing the past again, "He was bewitched and challenged me, and I defeated him."

"Wow! I want to fight him too!" Diana clenched her little fists and gestured excitedly.

"Listen, Diana, he is extremely selfish, he has no honor, and he is cruel and ruthless! He accepted his failure, but it was just an illusion. He held a banquet for us, but took the opportunity to poison us." Hippolyta resented He said, "He played with us and killed most of our sisters! He imprisoned us and ravaged us as slaves! My innocence and stupidity cost me and my sisters a heavy price! Obviously the goddesses issued Warning! It’s clear that my sister Menalippi received a prophecy!”

Diana was stunned. It was the first time she heard her mother talk about this tragic history. It was also the first time she was exposed to conspiracy and deception, because there was no dispute on Paradise Island, and it was as pure as the Garden of Eden.

The sound of the rolling waves now sounded like roars, and the mournful howls of the dead Amazons.

"Fortunately, the goddesses did not abandon us, and Athena gave us a second chance. I used the power given by the goddess to break free of the shackles, and I led my tribe to start revenge. We killed all Hercules' soldiers! We were even prepared to capture the city and bloodbath the dynasties established by those men!" Hippolyta sighed, looking up at the bright silver crescent moon, "But... I finally restrained the urge for revenge. We must Following the teachings of the gods, we cannot kill and avenge each other like men. When is the time to retaliate against each other? We..."

"Why?" Diana tilted her head in confusion and asked, her brows furrowed, she was also angry, "Mother, they killed our people! Our family! Why can't we drive them all away? Why are the gods? To prevent our revenge? Why should we let a despicable villain like Hercules survive in the world?"

Hippolyta looked down at Diana, who clenched her fists in anger. She couldn't answer this question because she had always been brooding about it. It was precisely because of that tragedy that the Amazons were divided. Antiope abandoned the golden belt of Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, in anger. She severed her connection with the Olympus gods, and she could not accept compromise. The sisters left.

"Revenge will make people feel lost, Diana." Hippolyta slowly knelt down and reached out her hand to gently touch Diana's face. The moonlight shone between her eyes. "I don't know if my choice was right or not." Correct, but I don’t want to see my sisters lost in the war, and then all die in the spiral of hatred. I chose... to leave. That is another destiny prepared by Athena for us. Poseidon, the god of the sea, will Separately, let us ride forward, and we finally arrived at the Paradise Island, where we established the new Shemisqela. We built the pantheon, and then, I gave birth to you, Diana, and I prayed to the gods that they would finally All the wonderful blessings have been given to you. You are my gift and the gift of the gods. You are my future. And maybe one day, you will find an answer, because I can see that you and Antiope It's very similar, but you are more determined, more sensible, and kinder than her. Maybe you will know the true path of justice, Diana, with my love, daughter, don't get lost in anger and darkness, never... "

That's not the answer to the question, Queen Mother.

I've never found it either.

I got the qualification to leave the island from the competition on Paradise Island. I went to the world in order to defeat Ares and prevent the gods from falling.

I saw wars, I saw death, I saw cries of destruction and helplessness, I saw joys and sorrows, I saw all the imperfections in the world, I saw bloody conspiracies and bottomless abyss-like whirlpools of desire.

I thought I could save everyone, I thought I could really become a great warrior, I thought I could defeat Ares.

But the irony is that Ares showed me the truest side of the world and human nature, which is not light, but eternal darkness.

But... I still saw hope, I saw love, and the souls struggling in the darkness. It was those like-minded souls who saved me, and those heroes made me see that everything I fought for would be worth it. Yes, they let me see how there would be a vast ocean without water droplets!

This is not a blessing from the gods, nor are the Amazons their puppets.

My justice will not fight for them, and I may never find the answer. I just know, mother, if I just give up, how can I keep hope in the world forever?

I am not the daughter of the gods, I am no longer the princess of Paradise Island, I am Wonder Woman, I am Diana Prince.

A mere mortal!

Thousands of rays of light penetrated Diana's soul like a meteor. She opened her eyes instantly. She looked at the beating heart in front of her. She stretched out her hand, held it in her hand, and then without hesitation stuffed it into the heart that had already been harmonized with the light. In one body.

The fierce wind swept everything around, Diana's eyes sprayed pure white flames, and her hair turned into countless silver strands. The silver-white tight-fitting armor was born from the light, and the dazzling blade formed the new wings behind her armor.

Diana began to fall like a meteor, the flaming sword appeared in her right hand, and her left hand grabbed Batman's scarred arm.

"Thank you, Bruce." Diana smiled. She looked at Batman who was shrouded in pure white light and said softly, "You are the light walking in the darkness, Bruce, you are the Knight of Light."
