[DC] Chapter 31: Hippolyta. (Patreon)

Rao lands softly on the ground, he walks slowly towards Hippolyta while carrying Diana who was unconscious in his arms.

"Who are you!? What did you do with Diana? ” Hippolyta asked in a natural and noble tone, despite being concerned for her daughter, she was still a queen for a long time.

Rao looks at the woman with long black hair and blue eyes like Diana and gives a small smile, he liked Hippolyta's attitude.

"I came to this land to return this warrior." Rao spoke in a neutral tone.

"Do not move! PlaceDiana on the floor and kneel. ” Antiope ordered it, but Rao ignores it.

Kneel? How absurd, Rao would never do that. Rao looks at Antiope with a neutral look that contained no emotions.

Antiope swallows dry and pulls away a little. She had the same feeling when an angry Zeus looked at her, it was a suffocating sensation.

Rao walks towards the group of Amazonas, beside him are Faora and the Martian who had the appearance of a female Kryptonian.

“This warrior was fighting Ares, The God Of War, she was about to be killed by this god. I saved her, but Ares knocked her out. ” Rao ignores the spears being aimed at him and casually walks over to Hippolyta. "Looking at her clothes, I deduced that she belonged to the Amazons, is she one of yours?"

"Yes, she is my daughter." Hippolyta confirms in a neutral tone.

The Amazons had no orders to attack, because of that, they just let Rao walk to their queen. Some Amazons tried to attack Rao, but Rao just looked at those warriors and that was enough to make them paralyzed in fear.

Stopping in front of Hippolyta. "I come in peace." Rao speaks in a neutral tone while looking into Hippolyta's eyes, without Rao noticing their eyes have acquired a red tinge.

As Rao was taller than Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons had to raise her face slightly to look at Rao.

"... Thanks." Hippolyta felt a little pressured by Rao's gaze, it was as if he could look deep inside her.

Hippolyta takes Diana from Rao's hands and checks her daughter. Seeing that she was not hurt, she sighs in relief. She hands Diana over to an Amazon.

"Faora."

"Yes, My Lord."

Faora takes Diana's weapons and shield, she approaches Rao and hands them over.

"You have interesting weapons." Rao gave a small compliment when handing Diana's weapons over to Hippolyta.

Hippolyta looks at the weapons being delivered to them. "Thanks." She just said that so as not to reveal any information about Diana's weapons.

Rao's smile widens a little, but soon his face returns to a neutral expression.

Hippolyta takes all of Diana's weapons and checks them one by one, she soon realizes that the lasso of truth is not present. She looks at Rao and sees him holding the lasso, she gives a small smile and asks.

“Did you really save my daughter from Ares? And what happened to Ares? ” She questioned him in a neutral tone.

“Yes, I saved this warrior and about Ares, he is in my possession. He has committed several crimes against my race, I plan to punish him. ” Rao spoke in a neutral tone that contained immense coldness.

Hippolyta opens her eyes widely. At first she did not believe that he defeated Ares, but when he spoke those words holding the lasso of truth, Rao's words were more credible.

Rao hands the lasso to Hippolyta. "I'm leaving now."

Rao turns and starts flying towards the ship.

Hippolyta hurries and asks, she never expected him to leave suddenly. "Wait, what's your name?"

Rao gives a small smile: "Call me Rao... Rao, The God of The Kryptonians."

Soon Rao flies towards their ship. As soon as Rao entered the ship, it flies towards the skies.

Seeing Rao leaving, Hippolyta said."Rao ... Rao, huh?"

"Sister, is it okay to let them go?" Antiope questioned.

"Yes, they don't seem to be interested in us, they just came to return Diana." Hippolyta said. She saw how Rao held the lasso of truth while speaking. "And I don't want to fight them, we would lose."

Antiope raises his eyebrow. “Can he fight the whole of Olympus? I don't think he can fight all the gods alone. ”

"You know very well that I don't like Olympus, did you forget what those gods did to us?" Hippolyta spoke in a neutral tone that contained great hatred. “Answering your question, I don't think he can fight the whole Olympus, but he can easily destroy us, and I'm just talking about Rao. I don't know the capabilities of his subordinates, remember that he is a god from another pantheon. He can have gods as his allies too. ”

"True ... Hmm, the woman named Faora seems to be dangerous. I feel the feeling of a predator when I look at this woman, but I don't think the other girl is strong." Antiope said.

Antiope was over 3000 years old, she had enough experience to judge someone.

“We don't know yet, he said that his name was Rao, and he is a foreign god. We should look in the records, maybe we have information about this god. If we don't have information, we have to ask the gods of Olympus. " She spoke the last sentence in disgust.

"Okay."

Hippolyta looks at the sky again. 'I never heard of a god named Rao, but the divinity that emanated from his body was proof that he was a god.'

...

Earth's Moon.

In Rao's personal room.

"Do your job." Faora ordered coldly to the Martian.

"Yes." M'gann M'orzz said.

She approaches Rao and puts her hand on his head, Rao does nothing, he just waits patiently.

Soon Rao recovers the memories he decided to change.

Finishing the job, M'gann M'orzz said: "I never thought you trusted me so much."

...

"Of course, I trust you." This is a lie, I have several plans prepared in case you cheat or try to manipulate me. I have Zero constantly monitoring my brain.

What happens is, when M'gann M'orzz controls someone's mind, the brain's nervous system changes dramatically. If Zero notices a change in my brain, the Martian would be immediately immobilized by all the ship's defenses.

And she would be tortured until she brought me back to my senses.

I had to change my memories if I wanted to deceive Hippolyta. I realized that when I touched the lasso, it forced me to tell the truth, but I immediately realized a failure.

If I have a false memory like 'I saved Diana from Ares' or 'Ares is a criminal who did something against my race', that will be my truth, the lassois useless if the memory of the individual holding the bond is changed.

"Did you put blocks in Diana's memory?"

"Yes, when she tries to remember what happened, she will have a headache and will not be able to remember."

"Good." I smile satisfied, everything went the way I planned. I got a god to do experiments, I managed to make a positive first impression with a nation that has strong warriors like Diana.

I also got data on the weapons Diana was using.

Diana called me the god of another pantheon. I don't know why she called me that, I don't know what specifically a god is, but I thought I could use this to my advantage. By declaring myself as a god, I could create an image that I have several gods as allies.

In Hippolyta's view, I seem to be a much stronger enemy than I really am.

In doing so, I got a neutral ground for dialogues and future visits.

I click a few buttons on my armor and then a hologram showing Themyscira's island appears.

That was one of the biggest benefits I got. When I entered my main ship in the skies of Themyscira, I managed to place several small spy devices. Now, I'm going to know everything these warriors are doing.

"General Zod, the mission was successful, you can go back."

"Yes, My Lord."

Entering the skies of Themyscira, with my mother ship was a risky thing, because of that, I used the empty ship, and I left Zod on standby if something happened to me. If Hippolyta decided to attack me, I would have bombed Themyscira.

If that happened, I would just lose a future ally, and I would have to fight a war against the Olympian gods.

I had some plans that I created if this situation happened. I would just blame Ares, for what I read from the stories, this man did a lot of damage to the Amazons.

"It feels so good when everything goes according to plan." I speak in a low voice with a small smile.
