The sound waves came and went in a hurry.

They had no choice but to leave, because Starscream had already ordered all the Decepticons to gather around the dam, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Soundwave was much smarter than Red Spider. Once he confirmed that it wasn't fake, he understood who he would be loyal to in the future.

Megatron?
Shocking the heavens?
Sak Giant?

These people will eventually become dust in the universe.

Only the great Lord Wenming can lead me to an infinite future!
In the Decepticons' world, the strong always reign supreme.

The sound waves betrayed him without any psychological burden.

"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency. I will bring all my men with me, and I want them all to be able to bask in your great glory."

The words Sheng Bo said before leaving made Wen Ming look at him with newfound respect.

It seems that Soundwave really cherishes his tape army.

For Soundwave, the members of the tape unit were not his "pets," but partners who could fight alongside him.

Moreover, sound waves clearly grasped the most important point of the spatial rules: once a sound wave has been in the metaverse, it will be continuously amplified.

He wanted all his subordinates to receive this benefit.

The question is, can sound waves bring them all here?

Wen Ming was somewhat curious.

Before long, the sound waves brought a vast horde of little Vajra warriors down from the sky.

"Your Excellency Wenming, you should recognize these Decepticons. Let me introduce them to you again: Rumble, Laserbeak, Razer, Frenzy, Razer Bat, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Razer Barraskewda."

Looking at the row of Transformers in front of him, Wen Ming was somewhat shocked: "How did you bring them here? The rules of the spatial rift should be that you can only bring Transformers that are supposed to die but haven't died after the plot has ended."

Even if you could bring them directly, usually only important characters from the main storyline could be brought along.

For the first time, Wen Ming began to doubt the rules he had summarized.

“Your Excellency Wenming, you should have seen the anime. These Transformers have a very close relationship with me; you could even say they are my alter egos.”

The sound wave's words made Wen Ming realize something, and he was overjoyed.

When I was a kid watching the Transformers cartoon, my favorite part was when the Decepticon Soundwave and the Autobot Tape went head-to-head.

Two Transformers, one taking the place of the other, released their own cassette tape army members, which was arguably the ability Xiaoming most desired back then.

Of the two Transformers, the most popular is undoubtedly Soundwave.

In addition to the greater variety of soundwave tapes, the soundwave accompaniment was also the best-sounding, like wonderful music.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Wenming!"

Laserbird and the group of little King Kongs saluted Wen Ming in unison, which delighted Wen Ming.

This is the first time in all the years since the Iron Hotel opened that it has welcomed so many time travelers.

"Very good. You must protect yourselves in the three wars to come."

"As long as you don't die, you and Soundwave can be continuously enhanced multiple times, eventually surpassing your former leader Megatron!"

Wen Ming's words excited all the Decepticons, including Soundwave.

Surpass Megatron?
How could a tiny Laserbeak like me possibly surpass the mighty Megatron?

No, Megatron is no greatness whatsoever, Lord Wenming is the greatest leader!
In the three wars to come, I must be prepared to be a deserter!

"Please rest assured, sir, we will definitely protect our own lives."

Soundwave's loud declaration, with its wondrous mechanical sound, made Carol and Harley both develop a liking for this Transformer.

Moreover, the other party's decisive and opportunistic attitude made the group admire his pragmatism.

It's so smooth.

Harley admires Wen Ming even more.

As expected of a savior, he easily subdued such a powerful silicon-based life form.

Selena looked at Wen Ming with infatuation.

This man is so domineering.

They were able to subdue so many powerful robots.

"Finally, try your best to revive those Decepticons and Autobots who are doomed to die. You can compete with Starscream... Hmm, hello, Starscream!"

Wen Ming was issuing combat orders to the tape unit when an F-22 Raptor fighter jet suddenly appeared above them.

"Oh ho ho, this is going to be interesting."

Tony's gloating voice rang out, and Harley glared at him: "If you don't eat your noodles soon, you won't be able to eat them at all."

Tony stroked his mustache: "It's okay, I'll have Wen Ming redo it for me later."

"Wen Ming, what's going on? Didn't we make a promise?"

Starscream, furious, transformed into a Transformer and landed. The moment he saw Soundwave, he flew into a rage: "Why is he here?"

"Why can't I be here?"

The Decepticons, including Laserbeak, simultaneously raised their guns and pointed them at Starscream the moment he appeared, which enraged Starscream even more: "Wen Ming was my partner first, and I'm still your acting leader! Put away your damn guns!"

"No, Laserbeak arrived first!"

Soundwave reached out and patted Laserbeak's head, a hint of delight in his voice: "First come, first served!"

"Wen Ming, what do you say?"

Red Spider glared angrily at Wen Ming, who shrugged and said, "They're both my flesh and blood, I didn't want this either."

Perkins almost burst out laughing, but Rebecca reacted quickly and covered her mouth.

Perkins turned his back, leaned on Rebecca's shoulder, and tried hard to suppress his laughter.

Why does the boss sound so mean?
Starscream was furious. He had already planned how to seize the AllSpark during the chaos, and even how to revive Jazz, the Autobot who died in the first movie, and how to send Megatron to Optimus Prime's axe to be slaughtered. But then Soundwave appeared.
Soundwave chuckled and said, "I can have my tape unit act as your inside man. We'll take the AllSpark together, and then I'll cover for you by destroying all the surveillance and records in the dam base, so that Megatron won't be able to find out who took the AllSpark after he's resurrected."

Red Spider stood still, his red eyes flashing rapidly, but finally nodded helplessly: "Alright, that's settled then. Anyway, we'll all be employees of the Iron Hotel in the future!"

Red Spider knew very well that although Soundwave was just as unpopular as he was, Soundwave had a tape army.

With his help, this operation will be much easier.

"Come on, shake hands. I love seeing my employees getting along well."

Wen Ming walked up to the two Vajra with a smile and extended his hand to them at the same time.

Red Spider and Soundwave exchanged a glance, then simultaneously extended their large mechanical hands.

Wen Ming turned to the Laser Bird and other members of the tape unit beside him and said, "You guys join in too."

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

The robotic bird flapped its wings excitedly, its booming voice almost causing the floor to collapse. It even started dancing in a daze, and its gaze towards Wen Ming softened.

Red Spider cursed under his breath.

I'm so stupid.

They failed to seize such a good opportunity to win people's hearts.

No, I absolutely cannot perform this badly next time.

Hmm, this new boss has some pretty good methods; I need to learn from him.

"Remember this: if you're just showing up, don't actually do your job. Protect yourself, and whatever you do, don't die!"

A group of Transformers held hands and looked at each other, all revealing cunning eyes.

Deserter?

A traitor?
This is a fine tradition of the Decepticons.

"Carol, could you please make this trip? This time, your payment will be on Red Spider's tab."

Upon hearing this, Red Spider revealed a smug look.

"Soundwave, see that? The boss trusts me the most!"

The sound wave smiled without saying a word.

It's just gold, isn't it?

I'll find the boss a golden planet later.

What's the point of shouting loudly?

Let's see who does a good job!

……

Starscream, Soundwave, and Carol led the Decepticons away in a grand procession, while Wen Ming fell into deep thought.

He looked at John and Helen behind him: "Helen, you came here with John. Did you feel any changes in your body?"

"Variety?"

Helen shook her head: "After I recovered from cancer, I felt my body was radiating new vitality every day, but there were no major changes."

Wen Ming nodded slightly, then went to the underground laboratory and found Maya, who was researching the Extremis virus: "Maya, have you felt any changes in your body recently, such as becoming smarter or stronger?"

"Yes, my mind has been particularly clear lately, and the research progress on the Extremis virus has accelerated a lot. Could it be that I've also been enhanced?"

As a scientist, Maya quickly understood what Wenming meant. She carefully recalled the recent changes and said, "At first, I thought it was because I had a burst of inspiration after I obtained the equations, various data and herbs, because this often happens in normal research."

Now that you've mentioned it, I realize I might have been enhanced.

Wen Ming roughly guessed the reason: "You must have been enhanced. It seems you'll need to be more involved in Tony's storylines in the future."

Tony, who was following Wen Ming, had a flash of insight and guessed the reason. He then realized that this hotel was probably even more impressive than he had imagined.

It's worth noting that Maya wasn't involved in the plot of Iron Man 1 at all.

Is this okay?
Maya's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "So, I can also receive continuous enhancement just like John and Sarah."

"Yes, you can continue your research. I'll ask Pepper again tomorrow if there have been any changes."

Wen Ming bid farewell to Maya and returned to the rooftop to continue waiting. Tony followed him to the rooftop, muttering, "Wen Ming, I haven't even eaten my noodles yet. Make me another bowl."

"Don't worry, just wait."

Wen Ming pulled up a chair, sat down, and while waiting, pondered why Maya and Helen were different.

Based on the existing results, it can be inferred that Helen was not enhanced because she was someone John brought who was destined to die but did not, thus occupying a spot, and she is not a main character in the story.

Maya was also brought by Tony, but Maya is one of the female protagonists of Iron Man 3 and the inventor of the Extremis virus. So from a certain perspective, she was enhanced because she is a very important plot character and did not take up a slot.

Tony's Iron Man 1 slots were all given to his parents, which means Pepper is very likely to have also been enhanced.

After all, Pepper is not only an important plot character, but also a superhero in both comics and movies.

However, Pepper had been busy with hotel work these past few days, and Wen Ming had been busy receiving time travelers, so they hadn't met.

If it's confirmed tomorrow that Pepper has also been enhanced, then Soundwave's tape units will definitely be enhanced as well.

After all, the relationship between magnetic tape units and sound waves is much closer.

If those two have already been enhanced, why don't I feel it as much?

Is it that reinforcement cannot be stacked, or is it that one has not made the most of the reinforced brain?

As Wen Ming was pondering, a pair of beautiful twin sisters ran up from the elevator: "Wen Ming, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"You're back so soon?"

Wen Ming was somewhat surprised: "You've been in the sun for six hours?"

Kara shook her head and said, "We've been basking in the sun in the metaverse for a long time today, so we only basked in the sun for 4 hours in Malena's universe. But we've also verified that the sun in Malena's universe has enhanced other aspects of our physique."

"That's wonderful! From now on, you can bask in the suns of every universe."

Having confirmed that Kryptonians possessed such a powerful physique, Wen Ming became even happier. He wondered when their first season of the story would end, and whether he would be able to acquire the Kryptonian physique by then.
If one combines the physical attributes of a Saiyan and a Kryptonian, how strong would their physique be?

Unfortunately, I can't go to these multiverses, otherwise I would definitely sunbathe in all of them.

"Thank you!"

Kara and Camille blinked their big eyes and stared at Wen Ming.

The Kryptonian girls knew very well that the man before them had helped them unconditionally. Because of him, the two sisters had not only escaped their suffering but had also been able to continuously grow stronger. This was no simple favor; it was a life-saving act of kindness.

They also genuinely wanted to protect this man.

"Where are the Queen and Malena?"

"The two of them are putting away their luggage. The young Howard has already accepted Malena and the Blue Queen's identities. T1000 helped them capture the hidden Hydra agent."

Erkins agreed to give her the formula after the super-soldier serum research was complete, and Malena also became good friends with that Carter.

Kara chattered excitedly to Wenming about their achievements and gains on the trip, and finally she said, "There's bad news, Malena doesn't want me to tell you."

"What bad news?"

Wen Ming looked at Kara with suspicion. Kara whispered in Wen Ming's ear, "After the Hydra agent met Malena, he suddenly said that their leader had captured Malena's husband and told her to obediently return to Hans Country."

"Walter?"

Wen Ming jumped up and rushed towards the elevator without saying a word, only to run into Qing Hou and Malena.

Malena showed no abnormality on her face, but Wen Ming's powerful mental strength immediately sensed her inner unease, fear, and tension.

"Come."

Wen Ming opened his arms and gave Malena a big hug.

Sicilian Flower trembled violently as Wen Ming held her in his arms. She wanted to tell him about her husband's arrest, but she was afraid of causing Wen Ming a lot of trouble, since she had caused him trouble more than once.

“When Little Wukong arrives, I’ll have him use the Somersault Cloud to take Qinghou and T1000 back to Hans Country to rescue your husband.”

Malena was startled by his words, then shook her head violently and said, "I can't cause you any more trouble."

"No, this is not a problem, this is employee care."

Wen Ming hugged Malena tightly, patting her back repeatedly: "If you can't wait, you can directly use the spaceship that Qing Hou brought back from Elysium. That spaceship is also equipped with two robot bodyguards."

Tony stepped forward: "Leave this to me. It's just Red Skull, right? I've been wanting to see just how powerful he really is."

Tony was very interested in the big boss who could be called Captain America's number one nemesis, and the former leader of Hydra who had killed his parents, and the person Dr. Zola was sworn to serve.

Just because the captain couldn't kill him with his own hands back then doesn't mean I can't.

"No, that spaceship is too conspicuous, and Tony, your Iron Man is too eye-catching. It's too dangerous for both of you. Neither of you can hide behind the Somersault Cloud."

Malena quickly shook her head, and Wen Ming immediately laughed and said, "Alright, let's use the Somersault Cloud."

Malena then realized she had been tricked. Moved, she looked up at Wen Ming with tears in her eyes and said, "Thank you."

Tony snorted and sat back down.

Fuck, why am I less charming than Wen Ming?
Is it just because he's the hotel owner?

Wen Ming hugged Malena tightly again, then looked at Qing Hou beside him: "Where's T1000?"

"It's downstairs keeping Charon company. Do I need to call it?"

"Yes, call it here. Then notify all combat personnel to prepare for battle."

After giving the order, Wen Ming looked at the Kara sisters who were standing to the side and asked, "Do you want to go back and rest?"

At this crucial age for growth, Wen Ming didn't want his twin Super Girls to stunt their development due to lack of sleep.

"We're with you, and we can fight too."

Kara shook her head. Camille didn't say anything but stood beside Wen Ming, showing through her actions that she wanted to stay with him.

"Alright, an artifact will be delivered later. I'm not sure if it will trigger the arrival of the hellhounds, but it's better to be prepared."

As Wen Ming finished speaking, John, Perkins, Rebecca, Marcus, and the others all took out Winchester ammunition belts, which were slung over their shoulders and filled with iron salt bullets.

Tony tossed out his weapon case and quickly donned his Iron Man armor.

Hmph, this time it's finally my turn to make a move.

"You all just watch from the sidelines, I'll take care of that big dog all by myself."

Tony's words made everyone laugh: "Tony, we've been wanting to see the power of your Iron Man suit for ages!"

Tony said smugly, "Today I'll show you my palm-sized cannon."

"After everyone handed over all their electronic devices, such as cell phones, to Qing, they were all placed in the office downstairs."

Ninth brother, put away the POD 153 as well.

Wen Ming frowned and looked at Tony: "Tony, once the AllSpark arrives, your Iron Man suit will likely be turned into a Transformer. Are you sure you want to stay here?"

Tony floated in mid-air and hummed, "Are you doubting the box I made? Don't worry, the AllSpark could not possibly leak even a trace of its power."

Qinghou suddenly said, "Boss, the source of the fire does not contain the power of spacetime, so it is very likely that it will not trigger the hellhound. Should we prepare some conventional weapons?"

The spark originated from the vacuum of the physical universe at the beginning of the universe. Its original purpose was to continuously search for various metallic elements in the physical universe and transcribe them through the source code, arranging them according to the chants released from within the spark.

The Spark Source can turn any electronic device into a robot.

Transformers are born from the AllSpark and return to the AllSpark after they die.

In the live-action Transformers movies, in addition to their original role as souls, they also have the function of providing super energy.

Wen Ming turned to look at the white stone tiger on the roof, thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, if the stone tiger doesn't like to eat the fire source, and what comes is not the hellhound but the Cosmic Emperor, then things will get really interesting."

Everyone prepared dual weapons, Winchester carrying one of each: one of ordinary bullets and one of salt iron bullets, with all the ammunition belts attached.

Marcus, you and Qinghou are in charge of using the missile launchers.

"Roger that, boss!"

Everyone immediately threw out their weapon cases and began equipping themselves with new weapons. Kara and Camille clenched their fists excitedly, ready to give it their all.

Marlena silently pulled up the hem of her long skirt and took her Sig Sauer P365 off her thigh.

Just then, Qinghou suddenly laughed and said, "Come on, let me give you some new weapons."

Then, Qinghou threw out her weapon cabinet, and one after another, ASGARI RAILGUN railguns from Elysium were distributed to the crowd.

Everyone smiled happily upon seeing such advanced weaponry.

They've all seen Elysium, and they've been eyeing this ultimate weapon for a long time.

Winchester is nothing compared to it.

Upon seeing the Kaman railgun, Tony couldn't help but ask, "Wen Ming, are you selling this technology?"

"Of course, the young master is already working on this technology, and it will be available in the store tomorrow."

Wen Ming casually replied, then picked up his own Kaman railgun. He had only ever played with this in games before, and now it had become a standard weapon at the Iron Hotel.

All I can say is, Qinghou did a fantastic job!

With the Kaman railgun in place, everyone looked up at the sky with bated breath.

"Whoosh-"

A whooshing sound broke the silence, and a woman radiating golden light appeared, holding a square box in her hand.

"then!"

Carol tossed the box to Wen Ming from the air, and Wen Ming quickly put away the Kaman Railgun to catch it.

"Boom!"

The box was heavy, but as soon as Wen Ming took it, he started cursing, "Fuck! Tony, let's go!"

"Walter?"

Tony paused for a moment, then realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to take off, he uncontrollably fell from mid-air, his Iron Man armor deforming at an extremely fast speed.

"Pfft!"

Tony tumbled out of his Iron Man suit in a disheveled state, watching in horror as it rapidly deformed, a deep sense of dread washing over him.

Is this spark source really that powerful?
At the same time, T1000, which was standing next to Qinghou, was also swept by a blue light and made a "crackling" sound.

"Get ready, they're about to transform!"

Wen Ming never expected Tony and Howard to be so unreliable. The box that the father and son built together could not isolate the power of the AllSpark at all: "Don't seriously damage them. Qinghou, Ninth Brother, prepare for the invasion. Qinghou is in charge of the Iron Man armor, and Ninth Brother, you are in charge of the T1000."

"Roger that!"

As the two finished speaking, the Iron Man armor and the T1000 transformed almost simultaneously.

"Crunch, crunch, creak"

The Iron Man armor transformed into a pure black SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, while the T1000 transformed into a silver-white Dodge Tomahawk motorcycle.

Wow, beautiful.

Carroll looked at the two new Transformers, one black and one white, from mid-air and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Wen Ming was not as relaxed as Carol. He raised his hand, signaling everyone to prepare for an attack, but the next second, everyone was stunned.

"Your Excellency, I salute you."

A calm voice rang out, and two two-meter-tall "mini" Transformers quickly transformed and appeared in front of everyone. They knelt down on one knee together, pledging allegiance to Wen Ming, showing none of the ferocious appearance of the new Transformers when they were born in the movie.

"How is this going?"

Tony was somewhat taken aback, but Qinghou laughed and said, "In the movie, the AllSpark was shattered, leaving only two fragments. One was used to revive Megatron, and the other was used to turn the protagonist Sam's family's machines into rampaging Transformers."

The Boss currently possesses a complete AllSpark, therefore the Transformers created from it possess rationality.

"By the way, Ninth Brother, hurry up and release POD 153."

Ninth Brother immediately threw out his Capsule with a smile. As soon as POD 153 landed, it was swept by a beam of blue light from the AllSpark and quickly transformed into a black mechanical panther, which then turned into a "small" Transformer that was only one meter tall.

"Your Excellency, I salute you."

A happy smile appeared on Wen Ming's lips. He never expected that a bad thing would turn into a good thing: "Do you have names?"

Harley stared at the scene before her, her eyes gleaming with fervent adoration.

I knew the boss was a savior, no, a creator, otherwise how could he have given a soul to an Iron Man suit and a robot?

How many times has this happened to him?
From now on, I will definitely spread the glory of my boss to every universe!
"Please bestow a name upon me."

The three Transformers walked up to Wen Ming together. Wen Ming carefully examined the three Transformers. The Iron Man armored Transformer no longer had the red and gold paint, but it retained its original palm cannons and four miniature missiles on each of its left and right shoulders.

The face design largely retains the helmet style of the Iron Man armor, but it is not as smooth as before, instead featuring sharp angles and a more imposing look.

The T1000-transformed Transformer retains the pure silver-white style of liquid metal, but its entire body resembles a spiky hedgehog, with sharp spikes standing upright, like a born assassin.

Yes, a silver-white assassin.

I wonder if it will still be able to change its shape and color as freely as before.

Its main weapon is a plasma cannon, which is a surprise because this weapon was originally only available to Tencent in Terminator 3.

POD 153 is simple; he has a small laser cannon on each arm and stands there like an innocent little child, just like Ninth Brother.

Everyone would probably be deceived by his harmless appearance, but Wen Ming knew all too well how many amazing skills this Transformer had inherited.

Wen Ming reached out and touched POD 153's leopard head: "POD 153, from now on your name will be Yuan Bao."

"Thank you, sir."

"Call me boss, just like before."

"thank you boss!"

Yuan Bao happily transformed into a black cheetah, ran to his ninth brother's side, and raised his neck: "Ninth brother, I have a soul now too."

"Congratulations! From now on, we'll protect the boss together!"

Ninth Brother was overjoyed that POD 153 had successfully given birth to a soul. He squatted down, hugged him, and rubbed against him vigorously, saying, "So hard."

"T1000, from now on your name will be Yuan She."

Wen Ming recalled that the Dodge Tomahawk's engine was the Dodge Viper's 500-horsepower V10 engine, and the T1000's original assassin attributes, so he came up with a very suitable name for the T1000.

T1000 immediately guessed Wen Ming's meaning. Its silver surface flowed rapidly and then transformed into a beautiful woman: "Yuan She pays respects to the boss."

Everyone was surprised to see that the T1000 still retained its amazing camouflage capabilities, giving them a new understanding of its strength.

Wen Ming looked at the Iron Man suit one last time. He was about to speak when he saw Tony standing to the side, looking like he was constipated.

He laughed heartily.
