Hippolyta hesitated for a moment before saying, "Diana, you are my own daughter, not some doll made of clay by some god."
"I just don't know how to tell you the truth, your father is... Zeus!"
Diana was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Zeus! The one who had seven wives, countless lovers, and didn't even spare his sisters, aunts, or even his own descendants, great-granddaughters, men, and bulls? Is he my father?"
Hippolyta nodded awkwardly.
Over the years, some of the education on Paradise Island has included matters concerning ancient gods.
There is never a single good thing about the records concerning Zeus.
Moreover, all the Amazons know that the books and documents about Zeus were written by Hippolyta herself.
Hippolyta was also the one who despised Zeus the most.
This is also one of the main reasons why Hippolyta didn't want her daughter to know the truth.
It's so embarrassing.
Looking at Diana's shocked and strange expression.
Hippolyta maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, but inside she was panicking. She said, "Diana, I was very young then, a princess of the Amazons like you, and I was naive and inexperienced."
"During one of his travels, he transformed into the hero Theseus, deceived me, and conceived you."
"Later, my people attacked Athens. In that battle, I understood my mission. After faking my death, I returned to the Amazons pregnant with you and became their queen."
"After Zeus learned of your existence, he sent people to build a memorial column in Athens and to create the island of Paradise."
“But because I am angry about your father’s deception, I will not allow him to come see you.”
"At that time, I wrote many books recording the scandals of Zeus and often cursed him."
"As you grow up, I don't know how to explain it to you anymore."
"So I had to make up a lie, saying that you were a doll made of clay by the gods..."
After they talked it out, Hippolyta felt much more at ease.
And listening to her mother recount her life story.
Diana also showed an extremely complex expression on her face, appearing somewhat frail.
Seeing this rare opportunity, Ryan quietly approached Diana, offered her a tissue, lent her his shoulder, and then quietly embraced her.
"What are you doing?"
Just as Raine gently patted Diana's back, Hippolyta quickly snapped out of her reverie and opened her eyes to see Raine and her daughter embracing each other.
At this moment, Hippolyta saw the shadow of Zeus in Renne, the epitome of a scumbag.
Moreover, he's the kind of scumbag who's particularly manipulative and adept at seducing women.
He was awakened by Hippolyta's angry rebuke.
Diana also suddenly realized what was happening, and with her pretty face flushed red, she pushed Ryan away.
Ryan even knew when to stop, saying, "Your Majesty, Diana, please don't misunderstand. I just saw Diana's sadness and felt her pain, so I wanted to comfort her."
Gentlemanly, polite, and honest.
Ryan's performance was impeccable, and Diana didn't even feel offended.
Hippolyta was speechless, feeling that the scumbag her daughter had encountered was far more troublesome than the one she herself had met.
But at the moment, I had no reason to drive the other party away.
Just as Hippolyta was pondering how to drive Renn away from Paradise Island...
Ryan cleverly changed the subject, saying, "Your Majesty, let's talk about the ordeal Diana suffered. In my destiny, I saw Diana's blood relatives."
Upon hearing Raine's words, Diana's attention also turned to Hippolyta.
Hippolyta sighed and said, "It is Diana's grandfather, Cronus."
"Diana's father, Zeus, overthrew the rule of Cronus and became the king of the gods."
"But Cronus did not die. According to the prophecy of fate, he would eventually return to compete with Zeus for the throne of the gods and establish a new pantheon."
"For some reason, Zeus was unable to confront or fight against Cronus."
"So Zeus and his brothers and sisters, the twelve Ospilins of that time, joined forces to bestow upon Diana an unprecedented blessing."
"And Diana will also become a god-slaying weapon to deal with Cronus in the future..."
Diana was the daughter of Zeus, but also a choice of fate, unable to escape the calamities brought by destiny.
This caused Hippolyta considerable concern.
Therefore, for thousands of years, Hippolyta kept Paradise Island tightly closed and almost never communicated with the outside world, in order to do everything possible to prevent Diana from being taken by fate.
Diana was deeply moved by Hippolyta's emotional explanation.
Only Renn was slightly stunned for a moment.
This is completely different from the limited DC storylines and Greek mythology I know.
Once Hippolyta and Diana had calmed down a bit.
Raine tentatively began, "Mother-in-law, Your Majesty, is it possible that the calamity I mentioned is about to occur soon?"
"After all, I can't foresee major events like the Tragedy of the Gods."
Chapter 319 The Power of Zeus, the Approval of the Amazon Queen
Inside the royal palace of the Amazons.
Hippolyta finally realized that the man before her did indeed have some ability to read faces.
But there are many things Hippolyta does not want her daughter to know.
After being reminded once again by Ryan of those decades of loneliness and hardship.
Hippolyta sighed and looked at her daughter, saying, "Diana, go and inform Antiope, and have a banquet prepared. I need to speak with this mage alone."
Diana looked completely bewildered and asked, "Mother?"
This time, Hippolyta did not grant her daughter's request and firmly ordered Diana to leave the palace.
Diana glanced at Renault with a mixture of curiosity and longing, and said, "Mother, promise me you won't hurt Renault, okay?"
Hippolyta: "..."
My daughter used to be so smart and intelligent, but what happened to her? Oh, what a tragedy.
Don't they realize the strength that this kid Renn showed before?
Who hurt whom in the end?
I wonder if my daughter is a hopeless romantic.
Impossible. Diana received Hestia's blessing in 957, possessed the will to truth, and was able to uphold the truth. She could never be someone driven by love.
This must be because Diana hadn't seen a man in thousands of years and was temporarily captivated.
Yes, that must be the case.
Watching Diana leave the hall, turning back every few steps.
When Hippolyta looked at Renn again, her aura became powerful and fierce.
She was the queen of the Amazons and also Zeus's lover.
Hippolyta was not merely a pretty face; she possessed the fighting instincts unique to Amazon women and also had a portion of Zeus's divine power.
In addition, there is the queen's life spanning thousands of years.
When Hippolyta truly displayed her majesty, her imposing presence was not to be underestimated.
But it's a pity.
Hippolyta encountered Renn, whose momentum surged like an unstoppable ocean wave.
Rennes, however, stood there like a rock, completely still.
A long time.
They could not get to Rennes no matter what.
Hippolyta could only restrain her imposing manner and asked, "Your Highness, who exactly are you?"
Renn calmly replied, "Doesn't Her Majesty already know? Renn Sullivan, a mage who travels through dimensions, well, you could call him a mage..."
Hippolyta suddenly waved her hand, and dazzling magical runes appeared throughout the entire Amazonian palace.
Hippolyta spoke up: "Even Shazam, the most powerful mage in the entire universe, could not have acted as easily as Your Majesty under Zeus's restrictions."
“Your Majesty, the Amazons do not wish to be your enemies, but this is not something you have been toying with... Shit! Damn Zeus, he is a bastard, a damn bastard.”
Just as Hippolyta was angrily rebuking Renn.
A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in Renn's palm, simulating the unique aura of Zeus' lightning under Renn's control.
This is something Renn learned while drinking with Zeus in the Pantheon during his travels through multiple dimensions.
At the same time, this lightning simulation was also a test by Renn.
