Chapter 229 Guardian of Paradise Island
Richard decided to live on Paradise Island for a while, and Hippolyta agreed. At the same time, many Amazon warriors on the island were also eager to move. After all, there have been only a few men coming to this island for thousands of years. How could so many women not be tempted? After all, Richard is also a demigod.
Every day, a large number of Amazon female warriors would come to Richard for various reasons. Richard would naturally not refuse them. After all, he also wanted to find some beautiful maids who were strong in endurance and capable.
Richard is preparing to deal with Steppenwolf. In addition to the Amazon warriors, he plans to make several iron golems.
After settling down here, Richard discovered that the female warriors of Paradise Island trained in various combat skills every day. Although they had strong physical fitness, they were far from Diana's level.
Zeus's divine power grants them immortality and gives them physical fitness far superior to that of ordinary people, but this enhancement is limited. Ordinary Amazon female warriors cannot even dodge bullets, let alone catch them.
Although the thousand-year-long training made them skilled, their true strength had not changed qualitatively, and their bodies would not be infinitely strengthened. In Richard's opinion, this was a complete waste of time.
So Richard began to select some Amazon female warriors with qualified intelligence and teach them magic.
After learning that Richard was willing to teach them magic, all the Amazon warriors were excited, and Diana and Hippolyta specially thanked him.
After traveling through time and space to see the future, Hippolyta became worried about the future of Amazon. After seeing Richard's kindness, she talked to Richard in person, wanting Richard to replace Zeus as the new guardian of Amazon.
The rights and obligations of the guardians are simple: protect them, and they will obey Richard's orders.
It would be no problem for Richard to select some maids. Of course, according to the tradition here, Richard would need to conquer these Amazon warriors himself with stick skills.
Among these Amazon warriors, except Diana, the most beautiful one is a girl named Aphrodite. From the name, we can see that this female warrior is definitely a great beauty. She dares to use the goddess who is famous for her beauty among the Greek gods as her name, so she must be gorgeous.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Aphrodite was wearing a long dress in ancient Greek style at the time. The dress was very unrestrained, her beautiful face showed joy and anger, her chest had an amazing curve, and a belt revealed the line of her waist. Her legs, which were often ridden on horses, did not show any deformation. Instead, her legs were slender, plump and strong.
When Richard was visiting the training ground, Aphrodite asked to compete with Richard, so Richard took a wooden stick and sparred with her.
Aphrodite used a shield and spear, and although she was very skilled, the huge physical gap could not be made up by skills.
Richard's strength, speed and reaction were all at superhuman level. Even if Aphrodite tried her best, she was still no match for him. Instead, she was constantly whipped by him with a wooden stick.
Aphrodite's back, arms, thighs and even buttocks were whipped repeatedly by Richard. In the end, she was whipped until tears appeared in the corners of her eyes but she refused to admit defeat. However, after this fight, Aphrodite began to look for Richard with various excuses.
The first person Richard taught magic to was Aphrodite. If she wanted to improve her strength, it would be difficult to rely solely on skills, so the best way was to learn magic.
Under Richard's instruction, her magic skills improved rapidly, and after only a few days, she was able to successfully perform a spell.
Seeing how fast she learned, Richard decided to teach the Amazons magic. While teaching the Amazons magic, Richard also began to use the resources of Paradise Island to make steel golems. When Zeus created Paradise Island, he gathered all kinds of minerals in the world on this island.
Richard easily found most of the materials, of course, Vibranium and Uru were not available here. When he asked Hippolyta for a substitute metal, Hippolyta gave Richard a piece of strange metal.
"This is the metal that the Greek gods used to create their artifacts! It's also called God's Metal."
Richard conducted a simple inspection of the metal and soon discovered that this metal was a metal that was not inferior to Uru. It had a strong ability to integrate magic and divine power, and it also had self-repairing properties. It was also extremely tough and could enhance divine power and magic. Its only drawback was that the quantity was extremely small.
This metal is now only produced in small quantities on Paradise Island. Since the Amazons have no divine power or magic, they can only simply smelt these metals into weapons for use, but this practice is undoubtedly a waste of resources.
With this divine metal, the problem of the small elemental furnace was naturally solved. And with the reinforcement of this metal, the power of the Iron Golem was also improved, and it should eventually reach the level of the Guardian Golem.
The energy core of the Iron Golem was solved, and the next thing was the Soul Crystal. Amazon didn't have such a thing as a Soul Crystal, but after listening to Richard's explanation of the function and composition of the Soul Crystal, she took Richard to a temple.
"This is the temple where the Amazons have worshipped their dead in battle over the years. Under the protection of the power of the Father of the Gods, the souls of all the Amazons who died heroically will rest here." After hearing Hippolyta's words, Richard knew that this was a temple similar to the Aesir's Valhalla.
"Amazons are never afraid of fighting. If you want a soul that can control the Guardian Golem, they are the best choice!"
"I understand. You should communicate with them. Only a soul strong enough can support the Guardian Golem." Richard said.
Hippolyta walked into the temple and communicated with the spirits of the Amazon heroes who died in the battle. About a quarter of an hour later, Hippolyta walked out of the temple with several spirits.
These heroes seem to have solid souls, with a faint golden glow on their bodies, but their soul strength has not reached the legendary level. After all, warriors do not cultivate their souls, so it is difficult for their souls to transform.
Next, Richard began to transform the spirits of these Amazon warriors. This time, he did not erase the consciousness of these spirits.
Heroic Spirits are different from Soul Crystals. Heroic Spirits become Heroic Spirits because of their unyielding consciousness. If they are forcibly changed, they will only break. Richard can only use soul weaving technology to give them the ability to control the Guardian Golem.
The advantage of this is that Guardian Golems have intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans, but it also means that they do not have the blessing of a mechanized mind, and some mind-control spells will not be effective on them.
However, these Amazon warriors are all strong-willed heroes, and it is difficult to control them. Richard also added an extra layer of mental barrier to them. With the mental barrier, the chance of controlling them is very small.
After completing all this, Richard controlled their souls and merged them with the guardian golem.
