Paradise Island, according to legend, was created by the gods, including Zeus, the King of the Olympian Gods.

The area surrounding the island was protected by a magical force field, making it impossible for even the most advanced technological equipment to detect its exact location.

From a distance, there was nothing but an endless expanse of ocean. Almost like an illusion.

Once someone gets closer, a dense fog appears, causing them to lose their sense of direction.

Not many would dare to venture in too deep, even if they somehow find themselves nearby.

The small escape ship from the Waverider passed through the dense fog, and the scenery changed abruptly.

The fog disappeared, and was replaced by a clear blue sky.

Layers of white clouds floated above the crystal-clear waters, and a majestic, beautiful island emerged into view.

High cliffs, lush natural ecology, and from a distance, a complex of buildings could be seen on the island.

"This is Paradise Island. It's so beautiful." Sarah Lance landed on the shore in the small expeditionary escape ship.

The hatch opened, and Sarah Lance and Allen walked down.

Stepping onto the golden sand, Allen smiled with satisfaction.

"I'm starting to like this place. Are you sure you want to leave me here?"

Sarah paused for a second.

"I know from my memory that you're very skilled, but Amazons are not ordinary women. So don't stir up trouble, for me or for yourself."

"Find a place to hide, and I'll come back to pick you up soon."

Sarah Lance had learned from Gideon about the situation on Paradise Island, so she reminded Allen very seriously.

She didn't think Allen could do anything significant here.

On the contrary, she was more concerned about his safety.

After all... this was Paradise Island.

Seeing Sarah Lance's serious warning, Allen shrugged nonchalantly.

"Don't blame me for not warning you. Just don't regret it later."

Sarah Lance chuckled and turned away.

Watching the small expedition escape ship take off and leave, Allen turned and looked at Paradise Island with a smile.

He had always felt that the name "Paradise Island" was very fitting.

For the Amazons, it was an isolated paradise away from the world.

'For men... an island full of women, wasn't that also a paradise?'

"Should I shout like some Second-rate character, 'Paradise Island, I'm here!'?" Allen thought about it seriously, but in the end, he gave up.

That's because he saw the Amazons.

Several Amazons wearing helmets and leather armor, carrying bows and arrows, appeared on the cliffs tens of meters above him.

These women were strikingly beautiful and radiated a heroic aura.

Their figures were upright and lean, exuding strength and discipline.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several Amazons suddenly leaped off the cliff.

Mid-air, they shot arrows that landed in the cliffside, using ropes to descend smoothly.

Upon landing, they quickly drew their bows again, aiming directly at Allen as they advanced with vigilance.

The entire process took less than ten seconds, it was smooth and fluid.

The sharp arrows looked like they could turn Allen into a pincushion at any moment, yet he remained calm.

He observed them with curiosity.

"Hello," Allen greeted with a bright smile.

But the Amazons only stared at him coldly and didn't respond.

Allen pouted. "Rude."

Da-da-da. Da-da-da.

The sound of horse hooves came from a distance, growing closer in an instant.

"Queen, how shall we deal with this intruder?" one Amazon asked the woman clearly distinguished by her presence, who sat atop a white horse.

This woman had long golden hair, and wore a forehead circlet symbolizing authority and status.

Her clothes consisted of a leather armor that left her shoulders exposed and a long sleeveless waistcoat draped over it.

Her legs were visible as she rode, clad in a pair of dark gold over-the-knee boots.

She was the Amazon Queen of Paradise Island, Diana's mother.

Hippolyta.

"He's alone?" Hippolyta asked calmly.

"He's the only one we found."

"Take him back and question him."

After giving the order, Hippolyta turned her horse to head back.

At the same time, several Amazons moved toward Allen to escort him.

"Can I ride your horse?" Allen suddenly asked a question that stunned everyone and sparked immediate outcries.

"Ride the Queen's horse?"

"You're an intruder, and you dare to make such a request?!"

Hippolyta turned her head and stared coldly at Allen.

"Intruder, are you mocking me?"

Allen responded with a friendly smile.

"I just want to know what it feels like to ride a horse. You know, it's not that easy to ride a horse in the outside world. So... since your horse is the best-looking one here, I thought I'd give it a shot. Although I'm not a prince, I still want to try and ride a white horse."

"Seize this fool," Hippolyta ordered calmy. She was not going to ignore the blatant provocation.

But she refrained from having him killed outright, at least not until they found out whether he had accomplices.

At her command, the Amazons charged forward.

"Legendary Team, I warned you not to regret it."

Seeing the Amazons rushing toward him, Allen muttered to himself and crouched down as if ready to surrender.

Was he scared?

The Amazons who had been filled with anger couldn't help but wonder.

'Just moments ago, he had the nerve to mock their Queen, and now he was chickening out?'

[Hundredfold]

Allen raised his fist and slammed it into the ground.

BOOM!

The beach instantly caved in.

The tremendous force erupted in a shockwave that knocked the nearby Amazons to the ground.

The startled horses neighed, and even Hippolyta and the others were shaken off their mounts.

Allen slowly stood up, retracted his fist, and glanced at the stunned faces of the fallen Amazons with a light sigh.

"Why must you be so complicated? I just wanted to ride your horse, not you!"
