Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#576 - Instilling positive energy

“But this war wasn't caused by that God of War.”

Looking at Wonder Woman's face, full of unwavering belief and certainty, Liang Yue couldn't help but find it amusing.

“The war wasn't caused by Ares? What do you mean?”

Diana was taken aback again, then subconsciously looked at Steve beside her, who was also nodding in agreement, though his expression was somewhat unnatural, as if he didn't want to say more, a picture of unspoken difficulties.

“If you want to understand the cause of a war, you need to first understand the background of the era, as well as the history of the many participating countries, and the ~ process of social development.”

Facing Diana, who looked eager for knowledge, Liang Yue organized his words slightly.

“…This sounds a little complicated.”

Diana, hearing this, opened her big eyes and looked at him expectantly.

“Simply put, war is just a means for the countries involved to fight for interests. No side is absolutely just. For the people of the participating countries, any country that is hostile to them represents evil.”

Hearing his words, Wonder Woman's face became puzzled again.

“In short, history is written by the victors. Whoever wins the war in the end has the right to claim that they are on the side of victory.”

Steve, who was on the side, also helped to explain, which could be regarded as fulfilling his responsibility as a good friend, at least he didn't intend to deceive Diana, the fledgling goddess.

However, his next words directly made Liang Yue roll his eyes.

“Of course ~ There are always exceptions to everything. For example, the reason why the United States is participating in this war is purely because those Allied countries sank our merchant ships and caused considerable losses.

From this point of view, whether it is the reason for intervening in the war, or in the foreseeable future, we are on the side of justice ~”

Looking at Steve, who was somewhat complacent, Diana blinked her eyes, and finally looked at Liang Yue, with an expectant look on her face, as if hoping to continue to get his correction.

Seeing this, Liang Yue smiled lightly, and then replied with some emotion.

“Alas ~ Americans are naturally not a just group or organization. Various forms of racial discrimination, oppression, and bullying have always emerged endlessly in the country. It is a country that purely serves merchants.

There is no morality or honor to speak of. They can use any means for commercial interests. Take their founding and territorial expansion as an example, for the indigenous people of that land.

They are demons to the extreme, tens of millions, or even more, of indigenous people have been slaughtered, and in order to promote the continued hunting of indigenous people.

They also issued a reward order, a Native American male's scalp can be exchanged for one hundred pounds, women's fifty ~”

“Oh ~ Hey! Buddy, that's been over for many years, hasn't it? We are not bothering them anymore, and recently the country is considering giving them fair treatment in the form of legislation.”

Seeing that Liang Yue was becoming more and more explicit at this time, and shock and disbelief began to appear in Diana's eyes, Steve quickly interrupted him and tried to say a few nice words to save his country's image.

However, Liang Yue ruthlessly denied his defenses.

“Enough! Don't say any more! I'm going to get angry, Chinese!”

Steve interrupted him again at this time, his face flushed unconsciously, his voice still carrying a bit of reproach, his eyes staring straight at him.

However, Liang Yue would naturally not be frightened by the other party's emotions, looking at him like a little chick.

In the end, the other party couldn't hold on first, supported his forehead with both hands, took a deep breath, and then slowly closed his eyes.

“What's going on, Steve? How could this happen?”

The simple and kind Diana had already become a face of disbelief at this time, and even looked a little suspicious of herself.

However, this is also very much in line with her character.

In fact, according to the development of the plot, after this Wonder Woman defeats the God of War Ares, because of the death of her lover and the disappointment in human beings, she will be in a state of self-retreat and seclusion for more than half a century afterwards.

It wasn't until one day in 1984, because of the appearance of the wishing stone, that she would put on her armor again…

“So I said, this war is not the responsibility of that God of War, although he will gain power because of the existence of war, how about this ~ in order to avoid you from having some wrong cognitions because you are not deeply involved in the world ~”

Saying that, Liang Yue raised his right hand and stretched out his index finger, and a faint purple light condensed at the tip of his finger, and then pointed it towards the Wonder Woman's forehead.

“Hey ~”

Seeing this, Diana frowned subconsciously and reached out to block it.

Liang Yue seemed to have expected it, and dodged the other party's slap with an agile retreat, and then quickly clicked down.

“Hmm ~”

As that ray of light quickly merged in, Diana suddenly felt a dizziness in her head, and subconsciously shook her head, swaying a little as she sat back in her seat.

“What did you do!”

Seeing this, Steve looked at him warily, and subconsciously reached out to block Wonder Woman behind him.

Seeing this, Liang Yue spread his hands to the young man.

“It's nothing, I just transmitted some information about the development overview and information of world history in the past 100 years into her mind, anyway, the truth cannot be faked, and lies will be exposed sooner or later.

As long as she stays outside long enough, she will understand this knowledge sooner or later.”

“Alas ~”

Hearing this, Steve was once again depressed, and put his hands on his forehead again, looking very distressed.

Secretly, a pair of eyes had been staring at Diana next to him.

After about ten seconds, this Wonder Woman finished digesting the information in her mind.

However, at this time, she was obviously not very interested, her hands drooping weakly on her knees, her big eyes looking at the lava furnace in front of her in a daze.

Tears were constantly sliding down the corners of her eyes.

For a time, the atmosphere in the field seemed a little dull, and only the sound of bubbles bursting in the furnace occasionally came out.

After a while, until the sky in the distance began to brighten.

Steve, who was on the side, had fallen asleep curled up in his seat at some point, making a heavy snoring sound in his mouth.

At this time, Diana, who had been dejected all night, came back to her senses, suddenly raised her head, and then said to Liang Yue.

“I understand, no matter who caused the war, it is our Amazon tribe's mission to eliminate the God of War Ares, and I must complete it.”

“Then I wish you good luck. I think there must be sufficient reasons for this mission to exist.”

Saying that, Liang Yue picked up the teapot at hand and poured another cup of tea for the other party.

“Thank you.”

Hearing this, Diana poured the tea in the cup into her mouth in one gulp, subconsciously glanced at Steve next to her, then picked up the long sword at hand and left.

“Hey ~ Buddy, it's time to get up.”

Liang Yue woke up Steve, who was sleeping soundly on the opposite side.

“Um… what's wrong?”

Hearing this, Steve sat up groggy, unconsciously moving his somewhat stiff body.

“Your Miss Diana just left, it seems that she is heading in the direction of the German headquarters, I think it's time for you to hit the road too.”

“Oh ~ Damn! Thank you buddy, I really should go, goodbye!”

“Goodbye ~”
