Chapter 196 Since we're already here, we still have to meet Superman (8K votes, please vote)
When he heard Qinghou call out his name, Lars El Gul threw a smoke bomb without saying a word, trying to escape using ninjutsu. However, after he had escaped more than a hundred meters, he was shocked to find that the girl who had been flying in the air was now standing in front of him.

"So, you must be Lars El Gur."

Qinghou slowly floated down from mid-air: "You disturbed the boss's enjoyment of his trip, I'm going to punish you!"

"Boss? Who's the boss? Uh—"

Lars El Gur let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground.

His legs were severed cleanly at the root by Qinghou using her thermal vision.

"You, what kind of monster are you?" Lars El Gur stared in horror at the Azure Queen in front of him. Was she human or a machine?
"monster?"

The glare from the blue queen shot out again, severing both of his arms: "A monster that can kill you."

Lars Al Gur's pain tolerance is extremely high. Even with his limbs and arms severed, he didn't scream out in pain, which made Qing Hou admire him as a martial arts master who had trained Batman.

"I heard you're immortal?"

As Qinghou casually annihilated the shadow warriors who came to rescue Lars El Gur, she laughed and said, "I wonder if you'll survive after you're burned to ashes?"

Lars-El Gur was finally moved: "Who are you? Why do you know so much about me?"

“Not only do I know you very well, but I also know that your immortality comes from the Pool of Lazarus.”

Upon hearing "Lazarus Pool," Lars El Gul's expression changed drastically: "You want to take over my Lazarus Pool?"

The Pool of Lazarus was Lars El Gur's greatest asset and his biggest secret, and now that the other party knew everything about it, Lars El Gur could no longer remain calm.

"That's right, I've also taken over your wealth. In just a short while, all the wealth of your Shadow Warrior Alliance has been taken over by me."

Well, as long as you don't have any other hidden assets, or even if you do, it doesn't matter, I already have all your data.

"It's so great to be in this universe; my boss doesn't restrict me from using all my abilities."

Qinghou was overjoyed; this was the first time since her birth that she had used her abilities to their fullest extent.

She turned to the Joker: "Arthur, Master Gul has decided to use all the wealth of the Shadow Warriors Alliance to compensate you for your losses today. Are you satisfied with this compensation?"

Lars El Gur was stunned to hear that his wealth was in the hands of the other party, and he even suspected that the other party was deceiving him.

However, the other party's methods were so mysterious that they could not only fly but also shoot heat rays from their eyes, which made him doubt whether what the other party said was true.

The thought that his wealth accumulated over hundreds of years might be plundered by the other party made even a strong man like Lars El Gur feel a little short of breath.

Fuck, who did I mess with?

All I wanted was to steal a medical device that could treat diseases.
How could he have lost all his wealth?
Even their own lives!

"No, I'm not satisfied!"

The enraged clown charged forward, smashing any shadow warriors who stood in his way into a bloody pulp.

"You are guilty!"

The clown grabbed Lars Al Gur by the neck and lifted him high in the air.

"No, Arthur, you can't kill anymore!"

Upon seeing this, Batman swiftly broke the ribs of the Shadow Warrior in front of him and charged towards the Joker.

The Joker tilted his head and looked at him: "Batman, this isn't just the city you protect, it's my city too! You've let me down."

With that, the clown twisted his hand, and Lars El Gur's neck snapped.

"Do not--"

Batman roared and rushed to the Joker, shouting, "Why? Why did you kill him? He was already helpless!"

"Because they have no ability to fight back."

The clown pointed at the screaming tourists who were fleeing the scene: "Your failure to kill will only cause greater bloodshed! If the boss hadn't been here, how many innocent people would have died today?"
Could a regular prison hold such supervillains? And what if they escaped... wait a minute?

The Joker, who was angrily refuting Batman, suddenly looked at the corpse in his hand, only to find that the corpse had turned into a piece of wood.

"Wood Release: Technique? Or Substitution Technique?"

Qinghou suddenly looked up and quickly scanned her surroundings. Soon she flew to the top of a sewer opening: "Come out here."

The Queen's right hand transformed into a blue-gold data stream, which quickly passed through the sewer grate and entered. The next second, a complete Lars El Gur appeared before everyone.

"It's amazing."

Looking at the other person's unharmed body, Qinghou revealed a curious expression: "Is the Pool of Lazarus's regenerative ability so strong? Or have you mastered the legendary Substitution Jutsu?"

Lars El Gul was pale, his eyes filled with terror: "Why, why were you able to find me so quickly!"

“Your Highness Hela, I think you will be interested in his power, and you will definitely like the Pool of Lazarus.”

Instead of killing Lars-el-Gur, Qinghou brought him to Hela's side.

Hela looked at Lars El Gur and smiled with satisfaction: "This evil power of resurrection and maintaining youth is indeed the most suitable for me."

Heath placed his hand on Lars El Gur's forehead, and the next second, Lars El Gur's face suddenly began to age rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he had aged into a withered old man.

"Uh--"

Before he died, Lars El Gur tried to say something, but his hands were too weak to lift, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and he finally turned into a cloud of ashes.

A generation of heroes fell like this.

"Cool!"

Hela looked at Qing and nodded in satisfaction: "You're very good."

The Queen turned to Batman with a grin: "Are you satisfied now? Lars Al Gur has had his life taken by the Goddess of Death from the other universe."

Batman opened his mouth, unsure how to respond.

The clown strode up to Hela angrily: "He is my enemy."

"You still can't kill him."

Hela liked the clown, who was giving her advice, so she patiently explained, "This power belongs to our land of death, and his spirit has been completely corrupted."

"Wen Ming, your spaceship... uh, it seems your little lover used it. Do you have any other means of transportation? I need to go and devour that Pool of Lazarus. After I do, some of my power will be restored."

"Somersault Cloud".

Wen Ming shot out a blue-orange lightning bolt, killing a black-clad shadow warrior who was about to ambush Melina. With a wave of his hand, a pure white somersault cloud appeared out of thin air: "Qinghou, you accompany Princess Hela. If there are any remnants of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, eliminate them as well."

The Pool of Lazarus, this magical pool, is problematic, and Wen Ming is happy to use it to curry favor with Hela.

"Don't worry, boss!"

Qinghou pulled Hela onto the latest model of the Somersault Cloud. Using her mind to input the coordinates, the Somersault Cloud slowly rose into the air. Hela frowned: "This thing, why is it so slow... uh!"

Before Hela could finish speaking, she appeared 5 kilometers away the next second, and 300 kilometers away a minute later.

Thirty minutes later, the two arrived at a mountain ridge.

"Hmm, not bad."

Hela retracted her rant, gave it a thumbs up, and then leaped down from the sky. Soon, screams of agony echoed from a hidden cave in the mountains.

……

"thank you boss!"

The original Black Widow gave Wen Ming a grateful smile, but Wen Ming didn't smile back. Instead, he casually flicked his wrist, and the Eternal Spear shot towards her.

Melina reacted extremely quickly, rolling on the spot to dodge a samurai sword that came slashing from behind. Just as she was about to retaliate with a spear, the black-clad shadow warrior was already skewered into meat by the Eternal Spear and pinned to the wall.

"Thank you, boss. I owe you my life again."

Melina's heart was filled with gratitude.

I owe my boss so much in this life, I must repay him properly!

With that thought in mind, Melina charged straight into the group of black-clad shadow warriors and began a massacre.

As the original Black Widow, Melina experienced far more training and bloodshed than Natasha. Although she has now switched to research, she has not neglected her training.

Especially after being injected with the perfect version of the Super Soldier Serum, she spent her spare time in the gravity chamber sparring with her three daughters, Marcus, and John.

Now, with their full firepower unleashed, the leaderless black-clad shadow warriors were quickly slaughtered.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, the clown laughed loudly: "To defile the land favored by the gods, yet to be punished by them, hahaha, how wonderful!"

Bruce frowned: "They attacked your park for the medical pods, and Wen Ming was someone I invited at the last minute."

Harley, flashing eight teeth, said, "There are no coincidences in the world. If you insist on calling it a coincidence, then you certainly don't understand the power of God."

Bruce shook his head; these two were beyond saving.

……

All the black-clad shadow warriors were killed, and Wen Ming led Marcus and the others to quickly leave Joker Park, leaving the mess to the Joker and Batman to handle.

He didn't care whether the two rivals would continue arguing.

"Boss, we didn't sense any enhancement."

After Perkins left Clown Park, he was a little unhappy. After thinking it over carefully, Wen Ming said, "This shows that only the storyline that I lead the way can bring enhancements to everyone."

"Boss, you really are our god!"

Harley licked her lips.

This time, even Melina, Rebecca, Marcus, and Charon looked at Wen Ming with much more fervor.

Harley's statement may be extreme, but it is the truth. Only by following Wenming can one be strengthened. Even in the metaverse, one cannot leave Wenming's 10-kilometer range. What else could this be but a god?
You might say that it's because the spatial rift is bound to Wenming, but what's the difference between someone who can bind such a magical spatial rift and a god?
The more people understand Wen Ming's mystery and power, the greater their admiration and loyalty towards him become.

"Don't talk nonsense. I've said it before, don't mythologize me. I'm just an ordinary hotel owner."

Wen Ming knew that Harley was not mentally sound, so he didn't bother to explain further: "You guys go back first."

"Boss, aren't you going back?"

Perkins looked at Wen Ming with some surprise, while Wen Ming looked into the distance: "Since you're here, why not go and meet the legendary Superman?"

Perkins immediately added, "And while you're at it, why don't you also meet Lina and the Carla sisters?"

"Perkins, you're going to get punished again."

Rebecca and the others immediately moved away from the straightforward girl, and Perkins quickly covered his mouth and disappeared from the spot: "Boss, I'm going back to continue cleaning the bear skin."

Wen Ming shook his head and looked at Howard and Maria: "Thank you for coming."

Howard said proudly, "Boss, I never thought I would one day step out from behind the microscope and onto the battlefield to kill the enemy. It feels amazing."

Maria was also very happy: "It's been a long time since I've exercised like this. It seems I haven't forgotten my techniques."

Wen Ming felt somewhat helpless.

Fine, none of the employees at the Iron Hotel are normal.

After seeing the Starks off, Melina drove Wenming's luxury car to the Metropolis, with Wenming, Rebecca, Selena, and Harley, who squeezed into the car, in the vehicle.

Marcus, Charon, and Max followed closely behind in another car.

The combat-type spaceship was given to Malena and Peggy to retrieve the Power Stone, Flying Nimbus was given to Blue Queen and Hela to devour the Pool of Lazarus, and transport-type Transformers such as Yuanlong and Jazz were sent to the battlefield of NieR: Automata by Wen Ming. As a result, Wen Ming did not have a high-speed means of transportation.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to get going. Since it was his first time in the DC Universe, he figured he might as well enjoy the scenery of this alien world.

To be honest, since Wen Ming took over the Iron Hotel, he has been working tirelessly to run the hotel every day, and he doesn't have much time for real leisure.

The few times I managed to go out on a date, they were all unpleasant memories.

Wen Ming even began to doubt whether he was destined to be a wage earner.

Being a hotel owner is still so tiring.

The group drove leisurely away from Gotham City towards Metropolis, their mood pleasant throughout the journey, seemingly unaffected by the earlier attack by the League of Shadows.

Rebecca sat in the passenger seat, with Harley Quinn on Wen Ming's left and Selena Gomez on his right; neither of these women were exactly the type to stay put.

The wildcat winked at Harley Quinn, who chuckled and asked, "Boss, it's been a few hours, wouldn't you like to take a break?"

"Yeah, I am a bit tired. I haven't had a proper rest since coming back from the Marvel Cinematic Universe."

Wen Ming rubbed his temples. He wasn't physically tired, but mentally exhausted. He really wanted to relax and release all the pent-up stress.

Harley Quinn immediately patted the driver's seat: "Melina, drive slower, drive carefully."

Melina immediately nodded and slightly eased off the accelerator.

Wen Ming said thank you, and then he felt a pair of lotus-like arms pull him between two clouds. The soft clouds made his head relax instantly.

Wen Ming couldn't help but turn his head, trying to find a comfortable position, only to find that there was no obstruction between his hair and the clouds. He opened his eyes and looked up, only to see a pair of beautiful cat eyes rolling around in front of him: "Boss, why don't you take a nap?"

Wen Ming nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Boss, you're too kind. You should go to sleep now."

"Harley, don't just sit around, give the boss a massage."

"Okay, boss, don't move, I'll do it."

……

"Tsk, as expected of Gotham City, it rains whenever it wants."

Rebecca glanced at the sky outside and muttered a complaint under her breath. Melina chuckled, "This city is so magical. You can't see the moon or stars, and it rains all the time, just like the Fog City... um..."

"what happened?"

Rebecca looked at Melina, who was pursing her lips and peeking at the rearview mirror.

She glanced back unconsciously, then suddenly opened her mouth wide.

Harley Quinn tied her pigtails up, then lowered her head and began to massage intently. As if her hands weren't enough, she also used her mouth, and even moved her lips.

Rebecca turned around abruptly, unable to look any longer.

How could Harley be so bold?

Melina floored the accelerator, and Rebecca quickly reminded her, "Slow down, it's raining, don't drive so fast, it's easy to have an accident."

"Ah, okay, alright, I'll go slowly, drive."

Melina quickly released the accelerator, but she dared not look in the rearview mirror again, so she simply turned the mirror aside. Rebecca's face flushed red instantly.

You won't look, but you want me to?
Should I peek?

However, Harley Quinn's audacity was beyond the comprehension of Melina and Rebecca.

Just as a torrential downpour began outside, Harley Quinn's head suddenly appeared in the middle of the driver's and passenger's seats. With her hands on the armrests, she swayed her head and chatted with the two of them: "It's raining so hard, so very hard. Should we find a motel to sleep in for the night?"
I want the kind with a super big, huge, king-size bed.

Ideally, it should be able to fit five people lying down.

"No, no, I'll drive. Gotham City isn't far from Metropolis, it's only a few hours' drive."

Melina tried to concentrate on driving, but all she could hear was the sound of water louder than rain.

It was as if it was raining inside the car.

The sound of this rain is so intense!

It was a loud, crackling sound.

It must be an illusion.

For the first time, she regretted why she had injected the super soldier serum so early.

How can my hearing be so good?

Uh, you should be able to hear very clearly even without the super soldier serum, right?
"Really? That's good, okay. Let's leave it at that, yes, that's it. Keep going, keep driving."

Harley Quinn, shaking her head, suddenly leaned close to Rebecca's ear and suggested, "Rebecca, let's switch places later."

"Okay, okay, oh no, I don't want to change it, fine, change it."

Rebecca's face turned bright red. Her hearing was just as good as Melina's, and she could even see in the rearview mirror.

When she met a pair of eyes in the rearview mirror, her little head started to spin.

What did I just promise?
Harley Quinn tilted her head to look at Melina, whose face was flushed, and whispered in her ear, "Wait a minute, I'll drive, okay?"

"No, no, no, I'll drive it."

Melina stared wide-eyed at the road in the downpour, but she couldn't help but floor the accelerator again.

How could Harley Quinn do this?
"Slow down, slow down, you're driving too fast! Have you used the medical pod recently? Did you know that you can apply a screen protector to the medical pod?"

Melina nearly went crazy: "Don't talk nonsense. That function has been blocked. Only people with special permissions can use it to prevent it from being misused and used to deceive people."

"Really? Did you use it before the permissions were disabled?"
Or are you someone with authority?
"Should I ask Qinghou to grant you the necessary permissions so you can apply screen protectors every day?"

Melina wanted to refute, but found that the other party was right; she had indeed used the medical pod before her permissions were restricted.

In fact, every employee at the hotel has been given a new lease on life at the hotel.

Yes, some people do it more than once.

Harley Quinn licked her lips: "It's raining so hard, it must be tiring to drive alone. It's settled then, I'll drive in a bit, you can sit in the back, it's very comfortable there. I'll be right there, okay, all done."

Melina's face turned bright red; she even forgot whether she should press the accelerator or the brake.

……

"what's the situation?"

Charon followed in his car and was surprised to find that the car in front of him was accelerating and decelerating, and even stopped for several tens of seconds in between.

"They're probably playing a game."

Marcus laughed and said, "Don't worry, I bet it's Harley and Selena who are behind this."

"I hope so."

Charon followed the car in front meticulously.

When the car in front accelerates, he accelerates too; when the car in front slows down, he slows down as well; when the car in front stops, he brakes decisively to a stop.

On a rainy evening, driving requires full concentration, and Charon had no time to think about anything else. Marcus and Max, on the other hand, focused intently on the combat power detector, carefully observing whether anyone would try to cause trouble again.

This time, we absolutely cannot let anyone disturb the boss's vacation.

……

One huge clap of thunder after another boomed, and the thunderstorm lasted for more than three hours.

Just as they were about to enter the metropolis, a thunderbolt suddenly struck the car Wen Ming was in, and blue and white lightning enveloped the entire vehicle.

Charon slammed on the brakes: "Oh no, boss, the boss's car is gone! Did it go back to the hotel?"

Marcus and Max suddenly looked up and saw that the luxury car that had been in front of them just moments before had vanished into thin air.

And along with it disappeared the torrential rain.

The thunderstorm has stopped.

"Contact Qinghou immediately!"

Charon immediately looked at Marcus beside him, who extended a finger and pressed the combat power detector: "Qinghou, please respond if you hear me."

"what happened?"

"After the boss's car was struck by lightning, it suddenly disappeared into thin air. He did not notify us to return to the hotel before it disappeared."

There's no signal from the boss or Selena anywhere in the world right now. I suspect some unknown enemy might have used spacetime-related powers against him.

As soon as Marcus finished speaking, a crackling sound of electricity rang out, and then Qinghou's body flew out of the combat power detector next to his ear: "Is it here?"

"Correct!"

The group got out of the car and went to the spot where Wen Ming's luxury car had disappeared. There were no traces of lightning strikes on the ground, as if Wen Ming had vanished into thin air.

"Don't rush."

After carefully observing the surroundings and confirming that there was nothing unusual about the place, Qinghou said, "The three of you stay here and wait. Do not stray far."

I'll go find Arthur and go back to the hotel to check if the boss has gone back. If he has, I'll have Arthur inform you.

If not, we'll wait for the boss at the hotel.

She noticed their unease and reassured them, "Don't worry, the boss is the master of the spacetime rift. He can go back to the hotel whenever he wants. Even if he gets trapped, we still have the divine beast White Tiger."

I'll go back and wait a while; I expect to hear from him soon.

After saying that, Qinghou entered the combat capability detector and quickly disappeared.

……

"What did you say? The boss just vanished into thin air?"

Having just dealt with the Gotham City detectives, Arthur and Bruce looked at Qing Hou with surprise and suspicion.

Qinghou said, "I need to go back to the hotel to check if the boss has returned, but I need Arthur to come with me so that I can enter this universe again."

"Okay, let's go!"

Arthur ignored the mess in the amusement park, stood up, and disappeared with Qinghou.

Bruce narrowed his eyes.

Is there some power in this universe that can make Wen Ming disappear into thin air?
What is this power?

……

"Marcus, you continue using the combat capability detector to search the globe for the boss and the others' signals. Max, you go to the driver's seat and wait, ready to fire at any moment. I'll go get reinforcements."

After the Queen left, Charon gave Marcus and Max some instructions, but his words left both of them puzzled: "Who are you calling?"

"Kara! Camille!"

Charon didn't answer, but instead shouted directly at the combat power detector pointing at him.

Marcus and Max immediately understood.

Fine.

You know how to get people involved.

Unfortunately, people aren't familiar with Superman, otherwise they could shout "Superman!" into the air.

"Charon? Is something the matter?"

Kara's voice quickly rang out in Charon's combat power detector.

Are you in the Metropolis?

"Yes, Camille and I just left Argonauts after saying goodbye to our mothers and arrived in Metropolis. When did you arrive? Are you here on a mission?"

Hearing Charon's voice, Kara was excited: "I was just thinking of going back to the hotel with Camille today."

Charon breathed a sigh of relief: "The boss originally wanted to give you a surprise, but something went wrong on the way."

"Wow? Wenming's here? Where is he? Metropolis? My God, Camille, Wenming's here!"

Kara's excited voice came through the combat power detector, and Camille's voice immediately followed: "Charon, where is Wenming?"

"Why don't you come over? We're just on the roadside outside the metropolis."

"Wait a few minutes."

……

"The boss hasn't come back."

After Qinghou returned to the crossroads, she immediately learned that Wenming had not come back.

"What should I do?"

Arthur immediately panicked: "Is someone trying to harm the boss? Should we gather everyone from the Golden Dawn?"

"Don't rush, trust the boss, he'll definitely come back."

Qinghou's words revealed an unwavering confidence in Wenming: "If the boss himself can't solve it, then we can't solve it either."

Now all we need to do is wait patiently and make sure the hotel doesn't cause any trouble while he's away.

I believe he will appear soon.

"Yes, the boss is a god, and no one can hurt a god!"

Arthur's admiration for Wenming was blind, and he quickly calmed down.

As the two were talking, Hela appeared at the crossroads: "What exactly happened?"

"It's still unclear. I speculate that there's a 71% chance it was swept away by spacetime forces, a 27% chance it encountered powerful life forms in the DC Universe, and a 2% chance it triggered some plot event."

After connecting with Haihou, Qinghou quickly deduced several different possibilities.

Hela nodded and said, "Just call me if you need my help."

"Thank you, Your Highness Hela. You're so kind to the boss."

Qinghou offered a timely compliment, and Arthur chuckled from the side, "If the boss knew, he would definitely be very touched."

The two of them chatted back and forth, which Hela found very pleasing. She stretched and said, "When he comes back, I have to thank him properly. The power contained in the Pool of Lazarus is extremely strong."

After thinking for a moment, Qinghou said, "Why don't you go back with Arthur again? Just in case it's that 2% possibility, Princess Hela, wouldn't you be able to strengthen yourself again?"

"Huh? Not bad!"

Hela quickly walked towards Arthur: "Let's go, let's go."

"Your Highness, please don't rush. Please go back to Universe 838 and wait for one minute. I'm afraid you'll exceed the time limit this time."

Qinghou offered a timely reminder, and Hela frowned: "This rule is really annoying. When will we be able to freely enter and leave the hotel?"

"I estimate the hotel will need to be upgraded several more times."

After Qinghou shrugged, Hela reluctantly returned to her own universe.

After she left, Qinghou looked at Arthur and said, "Intensify your efforts to win her over."

Arthur gave an OK sign: "Don't worry, the 838 universe will surely become a place favored by the boss, just like the NieR: Automata universe!"

Qinghou smiled and nodded, then reminded her, "Your universe is too troublesome, so you should keep a low profile."

"I know."

Arthur grinned and said, "Once all the universes have become the boss's favored lands, how long can the DC universe hold out?"

The two exchanged a smile and didn't continue their conversation.

Soon, Hela reappeared: "Come on, take me to the place where Wen Ming disappeared."

……

At the same time, Kara and Camille descended from the sky. Charon looked at the two sisters with some surprise: "You've learned to fly?"

"Hehe, where's Wen Ming? We're going to give him a surprise."

Kara and Camille were beaming with excitement, like children who had just gotten a perfect score, excitedly seeking praise from their father.

Charon pointed to a spot a dozen meters behind the two men: "The boss just disappeared from here with his car, along with Selena, Harley, Rebecca, and Melina."

"Walter?"

The twin Super Girls gaped in unison: "Wen Ming has disappeared?"

The twin sisters walked toward the place where Wen Ming had disappeared. As soon as they got close, Kara suddenly stumbled, and Camille's legs also buckled.

Charon and Marcus rushed forward in surprise and helped the two sisters up.

"what happened?"

The twin Super Girls also looked at the ground in front of them in utter horror.

"what happened?"

……
