Five minutes later, a black SUV, guarded by several heavily armed tanks, quickly appeared in sight.
"Cough cough — cough cough cough —"
In the passenger seat of the SUV, Maxwell Lorenzano's face was sickly as he covered his mouth and coughed violently, but his eyes were incredibly excited!
He succeeded, he was about to succeed!
Although he didn't get the chief's oil this time, he got the chief's entire armed force, and this force was enough to guarantee his safety.
Next, he just needed to systematically find those oil tycoons and induce them to make wishes to him —
Money, status, power, influence, everything he wanted would be within reach!
"Hmm?"
Maxwell Lorenzano gasped in surprise, looking with some disbelief at a woman running quickly towards them on the road ahead with long strides.
The woman's running speed was a bit abnormal, and her expression was also a bit off. There was no panic or madness of about to collide with a car, but rather a coldness and excitement of about to catch prey.
"Kill her."
Maxwell Lorenzano immediately gave the order to the Captain of the armed forces driving the car.
The effect of 100% obedience caused the Captain of the armed forces to immediately pick up the walkie-talkie and notify the surrounding heavily armed tanks.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew towards the running Barbara Minerva.
In Barbara Minerva's eyes, the speed of the bullet seemed to be slowed down countless times. She just tilted her head, and the bullet missed.
Immediately after, she used the force in her lower legs to leap up.
"Boom!"
She, who had jumped high, landed on a heavily armed tank, and the huge downward impact force caused the heavily armed tank to sink instantly.
A few seconds later, with a loud explosion, the heavily armed tank was directly overturned in the fire of the explosion.
Barbara Minerva was thrown high by the force of the explosion. By the time she landed, the SUV and other heavily armed tanks had already passed her.
"Enjoy yourselves, babies!"
Barbara Minerva narrowed her eyes and looked proudly at the panicked and shocked faces of the soldiers on the heavily armed tanks ahead, and chased after them with a 'whoosh'.
On the flat road, two heavily armed tanks were driving side by side, blocking the way.
"Da da da — da da da —"
Two heavy machine guns began to fire wildly at Barbara Minerva.
The powerful firepower coverage was like an impenetrable net, completely blocking all paths and directions for evasion. Dense bullets flew towards Barbara Minerva like rain.
Barbara Minerva, whose eyes were already blinded by power, was not afraid but even more excited.
Her already fast running speed was now even faster. She changed direction and ran off the road, quickly catching up with one of the tanks, running parallel to it, and gradually closing the distance.
Her eyes flashed with madness, and she leaped up with force, her shoulder slamming hard into the tank.
"Bang!"
The heavy tank shifted sideways directly, crashing heavily into the other tank. The two colliding tanks instantly rolled off the road under the powerful impact, and were scrapped, lying on their backs.
"Dong!"
On the SUV, Maxwell Lorenzano, who was about to turn around to check the situation, suddenly heard a sound from the roof of the car, followed by a 'clang', and the car door was actually pulled off.
Barbara Minerva, holding the roof, threw the pulled-off car door away and showed a charmingly evil smile to the panicked Maxwell Lorenzano.
"Quick, quick, shoot, shoot!" Maxwell Lorenzano shouted in a panic to the driver.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
As soon as the driver took out his gun, Maxwell Lorenzano was already grabbed by Barbara Minerva and thrown out.
At the same time, she leaned back and kicked the car.
After a few rolls, the car quickly rolled sideways and fell into the desert.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Wishing Power (Maxwell Lorenzano)"
Above the clouds, Samuel, who had watched the entire process, slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
Barbara Minerva's performance was much stronger than Diana's performance during this part in the movie.
Of course, Diana in the movie performed so poorly because her power was fading, but how to say it, it's understandable because the logic is correct, but it's hard for him to accept.
This is Wonder Woman!
A few mortals, a few bullets, a few cars, almost put Diana, who had annihilated the God of War Ares, in danger. If it weren't for Steve Trevor being 'resurrected', she might even have died here —
This is a bit hard to accept.
What's even harder to accept is that after obtaining the Wishing Power, Samuel discovered that the true identity of this power, or rather the creator of the yellow crystal wishing stone, the god of lies, was Duke of Deception.
Who is Duke of Deception?
This guy is the god of lies, but also the son of the God of War Ares!
In the comics, Duke of Deception is also one of Wonder Woman's villains and has joined an informal organization called [Sons of Ares].
The name of this organization immediately tells you what's going on; all the members are Ares' children.
Duke of Deception is proficient in illusion and spells related to enlarging and shrinking, and often uses illusions to entice humans to engage in conflict, crime, and war!
He doesn't have many scenes and mostly serves as a background character.
But in this World, Duke of Deception's strength or status is clearly higher, and the yellow crystal wishing stone is the best example.
But —
It's truly absurd that Diana in the movie, after destroying the God of War Ares and becoming stronger, was then stripped of her power by Ares' son without him even showing up.
However, having said that, although the yellow crystal wishing stone was created by the god of lies, Duke of Deception, it is not entirely its power.
There are many common elements in this World. The essence of the yellow crystal wishing stone and the Truth Lasso are the same. The power of the Truth Lasso is truth, while the power of the yellow crystal wishing stone should be lies.
Because before making a wish, the person making the wish doesn't know that the condition for the wish to be granted is actually an exchange.
The so-called wish is just a beautiful lie!
So the yellow crystal wishing stone's ability to strip Diana of her power was not entirely due to the god of lies deceiving the Duke, but mainly because of the common element, Wishing Power.
Of course, Wishing Power isn't that strong either; it cannot fulfill some wishes that exceed its power limit, and it requires gradual progress.
Just like Diana's power didn't disappear instantly, but rather after Steve Trevor was resurrected, she gradually became immersed in this 'lie', and her power slowly vanished!

PS: Seeing some brothers ask about infinite nesting, I'll explain. Serums and weapons/equipment can be infinitely nested and farmed, because if these things are on a certain person, the system will determine they belong to that person, then they can be infinitely farmed and dropped infinitely.
This is because in the system's settings, these belong to the 'equipment' category, not abilities, including serums, which are in the 'equipment' category. This was mentioned earlier.
Abilities cannot be infinitely nested. Each person's ability can only be dropped once. Using Odin Force as an example, Frog Thor can drop it once, and Stormbreaker Thor from the zombie World can also drop it once.
Although each person can only drop it once, the same power can be stacked.
