After a series of critical hits.
After being stunned, Ares instantly flew into a rage, and the divine power within him went berserk.
The powerful force of lightning and fire shattered Rein's palm.
Upon landing, Ares instantly transformed into a tyrannical war god, tens of meters tall, clad in mithril armor and wielding a giant magma axe.
Ding!
Ares's giant axe struck like lightning, instantly slashing at Renn's shoulder, but only producing a metallic clang.
Ares's face, behind the closed visor, revealed a look of shock.
At that moment, Raine grabbed the handle of the giant magma axe, and his body began to grow rapidly, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall giant in the blink of an eye.
Ares: "..."
Renn sneered, forcefully snatched the giant magma axe from Ares's hand, grabbed Ares's head with his other hand, pressed him to the ground, and swung the axe down on his skull.
The super helmet made of mithril was cleaved into pieces.
Ares's head was almost half shaved off, revealing a blurry and grotesque skeleton.
"what!"
The unprecedented pain caused Ares to roar and howl, his entire being changing repeatedly. The mithril armor seemed to be merging into his body, and even more lightning, fire, and magma erupted from within him.
In a short while, Ares transformed into a giant of thunder, fire, and magma.
Facing Renn, Ares roared, spewing forth boundless thunder and lightning, which poured down upon Renn.
Terrifying lightning, like a waterfall, engulfed Renn.
However, amidst the blinding lightning, not a single hair on Renn's head was disturbed. He strode out and with a wave of his hand, annihilated the endless lightning.
“Brother-in-law, I can control thunder too.”
Emerging from the blazing white lightning, Raine swung his magma axe, unleashing the Five Thunderbolts Technique, which, accompanied by a purple lightning dragon, struck Ares directly in the chest.
boom!
Ares was knocked thousands of meters away, his body crackling with lightning and emitting blue smoke. His chest was blasted to pieces by the terrifying lightning, turning him into a charred mess.
"Damn it, damn it, I don't believe it!"
Ares is the god of war, born with the power of tyranny, bloodshed, lust, and battle intent. After being severely injured, his strength increased by another three percent.
Immediately afterwards, Ares plunged one hand into the ground and lifted it up, overturning hundreds of meters of earth.
Raine lost his balance and staggered.
In that instant, Ares grinned maliciously, and the magma within his body merged into the ground, turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire and magma, about to bury Renn underground.
Renn chuckled, and a flash of five-colored divine light behind him took away the flames that filled the sky.
Then, Ryan pointed his finger, and the earth turned to steel.
Ares's entire hand was fixed to the ground, and he was half-squatting there, unable to get up.
Ares tried every method, but could not break through Raine's technique of turning the earth into steel.
Only then did Ares panic.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, don't be impulsive, let's talk this out. I'll tell you everything..."
"It's late! Let me beat you up first!"
As Raine spoke, he had already arrived in front of Ares, casually tossed the giant magma axe aside, and began to beat Ares mercilessly.
Five minutes later.
In the study of Morgan Manor.
Like a gentleman, Ryan held his black tea, took a leisurely sip, and said, "Brother-in-law, let's begin. You have five minutes to explain the cause and effect."
"Diana will be coming out of the library in five minutes, and I need to pick her up..."
At this moment, Ares was in a state of utter misery.
His original image as a refined and easy-going person is completely gone. He now has a pig's head, is missing half of his teeth, and speaks with a lisp.
He glanced at Raine with trembling eyes.
Ares only dared to sit on a third of the sofa, and said cautiously, "Brother-in-law, it's all my fault. I was greedy, I was despicable, I was lowly. I secretly contacted Hades."
“But I swear, brother-in-law, I really didn’t let Hades plot against Diana.”
“Diana was my half-sister…”
Raine casually put down the black tea and glanced at Ares with a nonchalant look.
Ares shuddered and said, "My cooperation with Hades was all for the sake of vying for the throne of the gods..."
Chapter 332 Ares, Completely Played for a fool
As it turns out, even the so-called gods can yield to brutal punishment.
Especially after Raine displayed his skills in soul-capturing, bone-refining, blood-transforming, and even remote-range curses, Ares's dignity as the God of War was only maintained for two minutes.
Ares wasn't stupid; even as an avatar, he could tell that Renn's power was considerable.
That kind of effortless manipulation, that casual way of throwing oneself around.
In Ares's view, even if his true form were to descend, he would be nothing more than a dish in front of Renn, at most allowing the other party to move his hands and feet a little more.
Even if this method can't compare to that of his own father Zeus, it's certainly not far off.
Moreover, according to the information obtained from Paradise Island, Raine's main profession is a mage.
When a mage displays physical strength comparable to one's own father, the power of their magic becomes something that one can only look up to with awe.
Having such a brother-in-law, what does it matter from the heart?
This is an honor.
So when confronted with Ryan's interrogation, Ares quickly spilled the beans, telling him everything.
It was pretty much what Renne had guessed.
With the merging of the entire universe imminent, even the DC universe, once the most advanced in the entire universe, is unable to resist the overwhelming trend.
Under the will of the omnipotent universe, multi-dimensional powerhouses have basically disappeared completely.
Zeus, who had almost entered the ranks of the multiverse's strongest beings, had already sensed something was wrong thousands of years ago. He directly split his own origin, and his main will hid away and slumbered somewhere unknown.
The other incarnations also emerged from Mount Osprey, and all disappeared without a trace.
No one knows what Zeus is plotting.
However, coincidentally, after Zeus disappeared, almost all twelve Osprey gods coveted the throne of the gods.
After thousands of years of internal strife, the vast majority of people have given up vying for the throne of the god-king.
On the surface, only Athena, Apollo, and Ares have not given up.
Of these three, the most powerful was originally Apollo, the sun god.
Apollo's divine position was closest to that of the sky god, and he almost forced Athena and Ares to join forces to contend with him.
But later, Athena, in league with the Titan Helios, tricked Apollo.
Helios usurped Apollo's primary authority as the sun god, greatly diminishing Apollo's power.
Following that, Ares was also tricked by Athena, who took away some of his war powers.
In this situation, the conflict is brought to the forefront.
On Mount Olympus, the gods felt insecure, and a situation of division and defensiveness quickly emerged.
Others don't say.
Ares was naturally unhappy with this situation and could only secretly strengthen his own power.
As Diana on Paradise Island grew up, the history of humankind on Earth reached the end of the Age of Exploration.
Ares, with his keen insight, sensed that this was an opportunity to enhance his strength and expand his authority. He used his past kindness in helping the Amazons to secure a spot to come to the mortal realm and help Diana through her trials.
In fact, Ares didn't care at all about helping Diana through her trials.
After arriving in the human world, Ares hastily placed a single pawn, General Rudolf of the Ottoman Empire, to help Diana clear some levels.
Ares devoted all his other energy to expanding the war and seizing power.
In order to wrest control of the war effort from Diana.
Ares even went so far as to contact his uncle, Hades, the god of the underworld.
Ares promised Hades that he could give him half of the souls of those who died in the war, in exchange for Hades using his authority over death to help Ares continuously expand the scale of the war.
However, Ares hadn't expected this either.
Hades was no pushover either; he not only set his sights on the dead of war, but also on Diana.
The American soldier who knocked on the gates of Paradise Island was clearly a pawn secretly planted by Hades.
However, Ares had no idea what Hades was planning to do.
