Chapter 139

"Guards! Seize them!"

Unfortunately, no one responded.

"Huh!"

The officer's shouted orders were cut short as the green plant behind him transformed into a piranha, swallowing him whole.

"You...what is the meaning of this? This is the White House, and I am the President of the United States!"

The elderly white-haired man rose to his feet, his voice filled with desperation.

Jude cocked his head. "Yes, you are the president, but...I couldn't care less."

"Indeed, I wonder why so many villains from Marvel and DC don't target you. You're clearly a weakling, yet they dare not touch you. But that doesn't mean I won't. Mr. President, you've picked the wrong adversary."

With a wave of his hand, Jude unleashed a blast of green energy directly at the elderly man's head.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ceiling shattered, and a dark figure plummeted onto the conference table from above.

The energy beam struck the shadow, but it seemed to rebound off as if hitting a mirror, exploding against a nearby wall.

The shadow swiftly knocked Jude several dozen meters away, leaving the politicians breathless with relief. Though they couldn't see who had saved them, the mere fact of their survival was enough.

The elderly president was the first to leap to his feet and bolted out of the room, followed hastily by the others. They weren't foolish; there had to be a secret escape route in the White House, and the president would know its location.

Outside on the White House Square, a few figures stood tall, and Jude recognized the shadowy visitor.

A ripple of excitement swept through the air as the figure emerged—a graceful wave, a beautiful visage, a powerful physique, adorned with silver armor, a circlet upon the brow, a lasso at the waist, and a sword at the back.

It was none other than Diana, the Wonder Woman, DC's iconic superhero.

As a native princess of Earth, daughter of the Greek god Zeus, and Amazon queen Hippolyta, Diana possessed superhuman abilities bestowed upon her by the gods themselves.

In addition to her innate gifts, her arsenal included divine equipment—her star-spangled tiara, her guardian bracelets, her magic lasso, her sword of divine fire, her wings of flight, and her enchanted shield—all crafted by divine hands.

Vigilantly, she surveyed the few figures before her. While the others were unfamiliar to her, the towering Juhua Girl, Razul, was an old acquaintance.

"Who are you? Why target the president?" Diana demanded.

Jude sighed. "What's the big deal? Planning to take on these amateurs, Wonder Woman?"

"It's merely a president. Both parties' congressmen are anticipating his downfall. Otherwise, when will they have their turn? If one president falls, they'll just replace him with another," Diana retorted, ignoring Jude's taunt.

"Razul, are these your accomplices? Didn't you promise to avenge me once your sentence was served?" Diana turned her attention to Juhua Girl.

Juhua Girl pointed at Jude. "He's the boss, and I'm following him now."

Diana focused on Jude. "I don't know you, but regardless of your power or affiliation, Washington is under my protection. I won't allow anyone to commit murder here."

However, Diana's words only revealed one aspect of her motivation. The true reason lay in the threat to Paradise Island, which had already been discovered by outsiders. The ongoing conflict between the US government and the Amazons had led Diana to pledge her presence in Washington to safeguard politicians when necessary.

Jude gestured lazily. "Since you've said that, very well. Deal with her, and let's see what you're made of, Wonder Woman."

"She's just a Demigod. It's nothing to fear, especially with her Gal Gadot looks," he added.

With a roar, Juhua Girl transformed into a fifty-meter giant and leaped high, aiming to crush Diana beneath her colossal weight. But Diana remained composed, effortlessly deflecting the attack with her seemingly slender arms.

"Razul, return to prison where you belong!" Diana commanded sternly as she countered the giant's assault.

Undeterred, Juhua Girl retaliated by launching herself at Diana with a powerful strike, but the Amazonian princess deftly evaded, causing Juhua Girl to crash into the White House, reducing it to rubble.

While the surface maintained a semblance of camaraderie, beneath it lay simmering discord. Unperturbed by their facade, the battle raged on. After all, who had time for formalities amidst such fierce combat?

Witnessing the destruction of the White House, Diana concealed a sense of satisfaction, maintaining her regal composure. "I will not allow you to pass!"

Meanwhile, Titania and Absorbing Man exchanged a glance before launching a joint assault. Both known for their brute strength, they relied on sheer muscle power to overwhelm their opponent.

Titania's punch connected with Diana, but the Amazonian princess effortlessly grabbed her fist, countering with a powerful headbutt that sent Titania flying.

Seizing the opportunity, Absorbing Man grabbed Diana's guardian bracelet, activating his assimilation ability to absorb its power. Transformed into a silvery hue, he unleashed a ferocious punch that sent Diana hurtling across the square.

Recovering quickly, Diana eyed Absorbing Man with bewilderment. "How...how do you possess godly power?"

Ignoring her question, Absorbing Man pressed on with the attack alongside Titania and Juhua Girl.

Jude beckoned Singularity forward. "Why aren't you attacking?"

Singularity pointed to her mouth. "I want ice cream. You promised."

"Fine, fine. Attack Wonder Woman first, and once she's down, I'll make you an energy ice cream," Jude relented.

Excitedly, Singularity unleashed a blast of blue energy towards Diana's back, catching her off guard and sending her crashing to the ground with a resounding thud.

Undeterred, Diana rose to her feet, her resolve unshaken. With a swift motion, she removed her star-spangled tiara and flung it at Singularity like a boomerang, striking her neck from behind.

Singularity's form dissipated momentarily, passing through Diana harmlessly before returning to solid form.

"Huh? Physical attacks ineffective? Then try this!" Diana declared, summoning her bracelets' thunderous energy and unleashing a powerful shockwave that sent Singularity hurtling away.

Juhua Girl leaped into action, cleaving a nearby building in half with a single strike and hurling it at Diana.

Amidst the chaos, a sonic boom echoed from the horizon, heralding the arrival of a black-clad figure, emblematic of hope.
