Then, Diana tells him:
Goodbye brother.
before she kills him.
Why did she say that?

Because in the DC mythology, they share Zeus as a father.
Originally the comic book character of Diana Prince / Wonder Woman was 'created out of clay and brought to life' but that was changed in later comics to Zeus being her father.
Ares is a son of Zeus in both DC and Greek mythology.
So, although their age differs massively, they are half-sibling.
