American comics: Today’s big news Chapter 072

Whether it was the black magician Faust, or the gates of Hell corresponding to the key, they were all on Paradise Island.

When Connors arrived here, he realized the situation was much more serious than he had imagined.

The island’s plains had been burned over once, revealing bare land, with black ashes flying randomly in the air with the wind.

Various grass huts and mud houses inhabited by the Amazons had fallen or been burned, in a dilapidated state.

Everywhere here were stone statues, each with a face either angry or sad.

And in the Amazons’ temple, the steps were now broken into several large pieces, stone pillars scattered in disarray, and even the temple itself had collapsed by half.

“Shh—we’re much faster than expected, we can take a look at what Faust is doing first.”

Connors stopped “Wonder Woman” Diana, who was about to rush in regardless:

“Anyway, it’s already like this, impulsiveness won’t help.”

Diana sighed heavily, even though she had seen the scene of Paradise Island before, she still felt anger rising when she saw it again, wishing she could kill the black magician on the spot.

But what Connors said made sense, observe Faust secretly first, and besides, a hoarse and irritable voice was now echoing in the temple:

“Where is she? Where is the Amazon princess?”

Connors, Zatanna, and Diana together tiptoed over, and saw Faust standing at a wall in the temple, a ball of scarlet flame burning in the air.

The irritable voice was coming from this ball of flame.

Faust was wearing a dark blue robe, with a matching round hat, and was smiling as he comforted the master behind the ball of flame:

“Be patient, master, those fragments have seal protection, and are scattered all over the world, since someone is doing the work for me, why should I risk it myself?”

Connors used “Athena’s Sight” to see the ball of flame clearly, it was clearlying out from behind a golden circle, as if the circle was a passage to hell.

The scarlet flames rose in the air, forming a vague, horned monster, and the already irritable voice tended to turn into rage:

“Patience?! I have endured for more than three thousand years! If anything goes wrong with this, I will cut off your head!”

Faust did not become angry or panicked because of the irritable voice, his tone neither humble nor arrogant:

“Master, I mean the fragments will be here soon, maybe tomorrow… and then, Lord Hades, the world will be ours.”

The flames slowly extinguished, but the last sentence still echoed in the temple:

“The world will definitely be ours. Definitely!”

Faust still had a smiling expression, turned and walked to a stone statue in another corner of the temple, reaching out to touch the statue:

“I should thank you for raising such a filial daughter. She is so eager to cooperate with me to save you.”

“Wonder Woman” Diana, hiding in the dark, watched the black magician Faust stroking the statue with his hand, and could no longer hold back, rushing over:

“Faust!”

Faust stretched out his left hand, and an hourglass appeared out of thin air. He looked at the scale on the hourglass and wondered:

“So fast? There are still several hours, it really surprises me. Have all the fragments been collected?”

“Wonder Woman” Diana took out the reassembled key from her magic pocket:

“First, you have to release my mother.”

“That’s easy to say.” A talisman appeared out of thin air in Faust’s left palm, and he aimed it at the stone statue in the temple, “Now, you have to put the thing in your hand on the ground, and walk empty-handed to your mother’s side.”

Faust was worried that “Wonder Woman” Diana would take the opportunity to attack him while heed her mother.

“Wonder Woman” Diana had no way to attack, she was now looking blankly at Connors walking in along the wall of the temple.

Clearly within Faust’s line of sight, but Connors tiptoed over, and the black magician actually turned a blind eye to it.

Not only that, Connors even walked to Faust’s side, reached behind him, and pried open the fingers of the hand pointing at the stone statue one by one, took away the talisman, and replaced it with a ball of mud.

“If you don’t give me this thing, you’ll never be able to save your mother, or even the Amazons on Paradise Island.”

Faust held the mud Connors gave him in his hand, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring intently at “Wonder Woman” Diana.

Once Diana showed any abnormality, Faust would hide the petrification talisman.

“…” Diana blinked, feeling that the scene before her was somewhat absurd.

If the two were not on opposing sides, Diana would even want to remind Faust.

Connors played with the talisman he had snatched from Faust’s hand, and saw that this thing was the size of a palm, with an image of a Medusa on it, it should be the legendary “Medusa”.

With this thing, the stone statues on Paradise Island should be able to beed, right? Connors tossed the talisman up and caught it again, watching “Wonder Woman” Diana’s heart jump, afraid that it would accidentally fall to the ground and break.

But now that the petrification talisman had been snatched away, Diana had no worries, dropped the key in her hand, and backhanded the Lasso of Truth from her waist.

“It seems you are obsessed.” Faust sneered, and without looking, the mud that replaced the talisman disappeared, and a purple-black light ball condensed in his palm and threw it towards the Lasso of Truth.

The thrown lasso was blasted away by the light ball, Faust’s legs and feet did not move, and his body quickly moved horizontally on the ground, came to the side of the stone statue in the temple, and at the same time his other hand grabbed towards the key from the air.

It was not until this time that he was somewhat surprised to find Zatanna, who was standing not far away, looking like a curious baby.

Zatanna had not made a move from beginning to end, but her desire for magical knowledge made her quietly, curiously looking at it, but unexpectedly she was discovered by Faust at this time.

As for Connors…

This guy was standing behind Faust, as if as long as he hid in the other party’s figure, Faust would not be able to find him.

“Do you desire to learn magic?” Faust looked at Zatanna, who looked like a curious baby, and a smile appeared on his face under the dark blue hat.

“Yes.” Zatanna nodded, but the words she said made Faust so angry that he almost died, “Remember to write down the magic you know before you die.”

She only had a thirst for magical knowledge, but she was not blindly so. Faust’s evil deeds on Paradise Island, turning the entire Amazonian race into stone statues, had made Zatanna deeply disgusted with him.

If the magic she knew now was more functional, she would have launched an attack even before “Wonder Woman” Diana.

“Backward ignorant people, you are not worthy of having black magic.”

Faust said through gritted teeth, quickly chanting a spell, and disappeared together with Diana’s mother, Hippolyta, who had beened into a stone statue.

“Whoa, mother-in-law was abducted.” Connors said, playing with the petrification talisman.

Faust disappeared, and Connors, who had been standing behind him, as ghostly as a shadow, was naturally exposed, and of course there was no need to continue hiding at this time.

He walked to “Wonder Woman” Diana’s side and patted her bare, rounded shoulder:

“Don’t be stunned, hurry up and find my mother-in-law back?”

Diana’s figure is not thin, on the basis of a small frame, she is thin where she should be thin, such as her soft and elastic waist, and fleshy where she should be fleshy, such as her hips that are wider than her shoulders.

And the shoulders, on the premise that the figure is not thin, do not have the hardness of bones to the touch, but are and smooth, and the feel is comparable to the best suet jade.

So after Connors patted her once, he felt that it was not enough, so he simply stopped his hand on Diana’s shoulder.
