2212 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 53

Back then, Steppenwolf had invaded Paradise Island as if the place was uninhabited, and snatched the Mother Box.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was a coward who had fled as soon as he obtained the Mother Box, the queen would’ve died on the spot.

Luke had stomped on an opponent as powerful as that, and had even cut off his head as spoils of war.

Although Diana’s account also included the other superheroes who had helped out, the queen could still tell who had contributed the most.

!!

It was best to have such a powerful ally. She would be crazy to provoke him.

This advice was her last effort; she could only let nature take its course after this.

Looking at her daughter, who was looking into the distance, the queen made this decision.

For the next week, Luke had a lot of fun on Paradise Island.

Except for the fact that he was watched by a bunch of female warriors during his morning training with Diana every day, everything else was very relaxed.

The good thing about that, however, was that nobody else wanted to spar with him anymore.

Diana was the strongest of them all. If he could fight with her on even footing, everyone else would be killed instantly.

The rest of the time, Diana would show him around their farmlands, pastures, ranches, orchards, vineyards and so on.

In the end, there were only two things that caught Luke’s eye.

The first was wine.

There were no men on Paradise Island, which was isolated from the rest of the world. Apart from training, the female warriors all had their own interests.

Wine-making was very important, or rather, the most important thing in their daily lives.

Fruit wine was very popular. Few of them drank beer, while there was a whole bunch of aged wine stashed in their cellars.

In the outside world, wine that was decades old was a super luxury, but Paradise Island had wine-making skills passed down over the years; some of the wine in the cellars here were over 100 years old.

Although Luke didn’t know much about red wine, he could still gauge their quality based on the food which he knew they were paired with.

There was no need to look for the queen if he wanted to buy wine.

With a wave of Diana’s hand, Luke could take whatever wine he wanted from any year older than a century ago.

In any case, a batch of wine was made every year, and it was fine for the Amazons to skip one year.

Luke didn’t pay special attention to the oldest batch of wine. Instead, after asking the female warrior in charge of the wine-making, he chose a year where the grapes were said to be of better quality.

In a good mood, he couldn’t help but joke with Diana, “No wonder you don’t care about money. A bottle of this wine would cost tens of thousands of dollars, right?”

Diana rolled her eyes at him. “Then I might as well go diving for some antiques that are much older and more valuable than this wine.”

Luke was lost for words. That made sense. This was the Mediterranean.

This had been a prosperous trade route in olden times, and there were countless shipwrecks here.

Ordinary people couldn’t access the shipwrecks, but the battle goddess would have a way.

Apart from the wine, Luke’s second gain was the Amazons’ ‘ancestral’ materials and methods for forging weapons.

Although they were primitive, Luke felt a trace of a divine power buff.

Compared with his Telekinesis buff, a buffed physical weapon was more effective for breaking through defenses, and it wouldn’t be a one-time thing.

He also noticed that the Amazons didn’t seem to have much divine power to complete this buff.

It was also possible that they didn’t know that they were buffing their weapons with divine power, and were just operating according to tradition.

Without sufficient divine power, the weapons he forged naturally wouldn’t be as ‘godly.’

But Luke didn’t lack divine power — he had the power of faith.

It was just that this was still the territory of the Amazons, and he didn’t want to build anything right away.

It didn’t matter if he failed. The chances of him failing to forge divine weapons using the Amazons’ methods were basically 100%. Nobody would laugh at him.

But if he succeeded, all of Amazon would probably make him stay.

Compared with earning points, it was useless no matter how beautiful and valiant the Amazons were — women weren’t as fun as playing with tech.

In order to obtain the materials and methods, Luke gave them the technology to make the floating cannon turrets.

Both Diana and the queen liked this sort of equipment with fierce firepower.

It didn’t need to be used for aerial combat; for just guarding Paradise Island, it was fast enough.

Also, full automatic control could be changed to semi-auto mode. An Amazon could sit inside and lock onto a target on the screen, just like in a shooting game – all they would need to do was press a button to fire.

It would take a long time for Paradise Island to build its own turret, but the technology was there.

It wasn’t hard for Diana to set up a few companies in the outside world and complete the purchase and assembly of parts.

The only problem was the power source. Luke also provided a batch of rechargeable energy batteries in exchange for some of the raw materials for Amazon’s divine weapons.

These batteries could be recharged with many types of energy, including electricity, heat and the high-level energy of the Mother Box; it was just that the efficiency of each type of energy was different.

Given that they had chosen the floating cannon turret, the spaceship clearly didn’t meet the queen’s requirements — Amazon still planned to remain on this island.

In the end, Luke still gave the queen and the princess two non-standard spaceships as a gift.

The queen’s spaceship looked a little like a Sovereign ship; it looked like a cigar with gentle lines and a golden body.

Diana’s ship, on the other hand, was silver and sharp, like a fierce bird.

As special models, these two spaceships were quite comfortable, especially the queen’s model.

It could also circle Earth in six hours, while Diana’s spaceship only needed four hours; it was just that they couldn’t enter stealth mode while cruising at high speeds.

In outer space, it would be very easy for the spaceships to travel to and from the solar system for a week without any problems.

The queen and Diana later learned this from the spaceship’s A.I. program. For now, Luke just had the spaceships fly on autopilot to Paradise Island, and had Diana send him off in her ship.

After a week-long break on Paradise Island, Luke felt it was time to throw himself into his new work.

It didn’t matter to him what the queen and Diana thought.

He would be in this DC universe for a long while; there was no need to rush to win the mother and daughter’s favor.

As the saying went, haste made waste. He was prepared for a protracted battle.

In any case, there were still Master Wayne and Arthur, these two fat sheep.

Luke had received news from an informant in Gotham City, which required him to get to work.

There were some opportunities that might not come again once you missed the chance

The invitation which Diana had extended to Luke at that moment was timely, and he left Gotham aboveboard, which effectively reduced Master Wayne’s suspicions.

Thinking this, Luke wasn’t in a hurry to return to Gotham. Instead, he wandered around Europe.

In the name of investing in or acquiring tech companies, he basically visited one or two companies every day.

Luke couldn’t be bothered to visit a big company himself – the negotiation team could deal with that.

His targets were small companies that could be invested in or acquired. There was also precedent for him visiting them in person.

In fact, Luke spent most of his time monitoring Gotham remotely.

After all, the spatial barrier around Paradise Island interfered too much with external signals. If he didn’t come out, he would miss the opening of a show.
