The Amazons' architecture maintained the style of ancient Greece. It was grand, simple, and dignified.
The royal palace was the same.
When Alex followed Helena into the hall, two rows of Amazon warriors were already standing inside the palace hall among the giant stone pillars.
Every one of these warriors was tall, ranging from 175 to 185 centimeters in height.
Any one of them could become a supermodel if she walked out of here. Compared to supermodels, however, the natural heroic bearing they possessed was something even the world's top models could not match.
In wartime they could serve as warriors. In peacetime they could serve as a harem.
Alex secretly thought that Zeus really knew how to enjoy himself.
At that moment, another group walked out.
Leading them was a middle-aged woman.
She wore golden armor and a cape. Though no longer young, she still looked heroic.
Alex didn't even need Eye of Truth to be certain.
She was the Amazon Queen, Diana's mother, Hippolyta.
Behind the queen stood another woman of similar age.
Upon seeing the queen, all the Amazons saluted.
They knelt on one knee to show their respect.
As a result, Alex, who remained standing casually, became especially noticeable.
Hippolyta looked Alex over, examining this blond, blue-eyed man. Her gaze moved from his handsome face to the battle suit with its obvious metallic sheen.
When Hippolyta's eyes landed on the Hercules Bracers on Alex's wrists, her pupils contracted and she shouted in a deep voice, "How do you have those bracers?"
She naturally recognized them as the Hercules Bracers that had been given to her daughter Diana.
Now that the pair appeared on the wrists of the man before her, Hippolyta could not help but think of some unpleasant possibilities.
Alex raised his hand and waved it casually, "Don't be nervous. They're not the same item as the pair you have."
"If you don't believe me, you can contact your daughter."
"I think Miss Diana will give you a satisfactory answer."
Hippolyta narrowed her eyes slightly, "You know Diana?"
"We've fought together."
Alex thought back to his various experiences with Diana and felt he wasn't lying.
They really had fought together.
Whether they had fought side by side or as opponents wasn't important.
Hippolyta was half convinced and half doubtful.
She still had questions, but she also believed him to some extent.
The bracers worn by the man before her were generally very similar to the Hercules Bracers.
However, the pattern on the right wrist was somewhat different, and there was a dull red stone set into it.
That was the Reality Stone, which had lost its effect after leaving the Marvel Universe.
Temporarily setting the matter aside, Hippolyta said, "Helena told me that you came to warn us?"
Alex nodded lightly.
Hippolyta continued, "Can you be more specific?"
A slight smile appeared on Alex's face, "Apokolips. Mother Boxes. Darkseid. The Anti-Life Equation. Steppenwolf."
"Are those hints enough?"
Hippolyta's expression changed.
"How do you—"
"How do I know so much?"
Alex smiled and pointed upward.
"Perhaps because I come from 'above.'"
Naturally, Hippolyta had no idea what "above" meant.
She frowned and waited for Alex to explain further.
But Alex did not continue that topic.
Changing the subject, he clasped his hands behind his back and said, "I know that in ancient times, when the gods still walked the earth, Darkseid of Apokolips invaded this world."
"He came in search of the Anti-Life Equation."
"He brought three Mother Boxes. When the three Mother Boxes are combined, they form the Unity."
"At that time, in order to stop Darkseid, your Amazons, the Atlanteans who now dwell beneath the sea, and humanity joined forces against him."
"The ones who fought in that war also included your 'father,' Zeus, and gods such as Ares, the God of War."
"In the end, you successfully drove Darkseid away, but his gaze never left this place."
"The three Mother Boxes remained on Earth."
"One is protected by you."
"One is guarded by Atlantis."
"The other was taken by humans."
"Now the human Mother Box has reappeared."
"And I believe it has already sent a signal to Darkseid."
"I can responsibly tell you that in the near future, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps next week, Darkseid's servants will arrive."
"And you, the brave Amazons, know nothing about it."
"In your current state, I don't think you'll be able to protect the Mother Box."
"Look. That's the reason I appeared on Paradise Island."
After delivering this speech in a tone that was almost prophetic, Alex felt that no matter what, Hippolyta should at least treat him as a friend.
Instead...
"Throw him into the water prison!"
Alex's expression stiffened slightly.
He thought he had misheard.
He hadn't.
Nor was Hippolyta confused.
And it wasn't because she didn't believe Alex's words.
On the contrary, Hippolyta believed him.
Precisely because she believed him, she wanted him imprisoned.
Alex knew too many ancient secrets.
Especially the Anti-Life Equation.
That information alone was enough for the Amazon Queen to decide not to let Alex leave.
Among the Amazons, Hippolyta was almost like a goddess.
The moment she gave the order, the Amazon warriors in the hall immediately raised their spears and shields, shouted loudly, and advanced step by step.
Alex's expression turned cold.
He wasn't a battle maniac.
He didn't want to fight everywhere he went.
But that didn't mean the Amazons could trample on his goodwill and try to take away his freedom.
"It seems the Amazons need a new ruler."
"For example, a king?"
He spoke those two sentences quietly.
Alex was talking to himself.
Just as he was about to act, a flash of red passed before his eyes.
Helena's red hair swept across his view.
The female warrior stepped in front of Alex and raised both hands.
"Queen Hippolyta, I ask that you withdraw your order."
"The Conqueror is not our enemy."
"If he were our enemy, there would be no need for him to warn us."
"If he were our enemy, my sisters and I wouldn't be standing before you right now."
Helena had witnessed Alex's strength.
Although she had confidence in Hippolyta, she worried that the queen might be harmed.
She worried that the Amazons would suffer heavy losses.
If that happened, they would not be able to deal with the coming war.
Hippolyta frowned.
A trace of hesitation appeared in her eyes.
Finally, she said, "You may stay on Paradise Island, but you may not leave."
"Helena, since you are speaking on his behalf, I want you to watch him."
"If he escapes, it will be your responsibility."
