Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 204 Hela: Can I be enhanced in DC too? (8K votes requested)
An invisible ripple spread outwards from Ares, the god of war.

As Wen Ming flew through the air, he clearly felt a wave of energy sweep across his body and then spread rapidly into the distance.

"This is……"

A surge of irritation rose within Wen Ming, and he felt that everyone around him had become repulsive. His Destroyer mech rapidly ignited powerful blue-orange flames, seemingly ready to annihilate everyone around him and the countless humans walking beneath his feet at any moment.

The killing intent surged straight into his brain. Just as he was about to be completely controlled by this killing intent, a cool spiritual force suddenly surged from the depths of his brain, and his mind instantly cleared.

He broke out in a cold sweat and looked fearfully into the dizzying cabin. He saw Ada Wong, John, and the others pointing guns at each other with bloodshot eyes, as if they were about to fire their railguns at any moment.

The twin Supergirls next to them also began to flash with a scarlet light in their eyes, and the heat rays were almost bursting out of their eyes.

As Little Goku flew into the air, his body continued to expand. Judging from his posture, he might very well transform into a giant ape even without the moon.

Diana's eyes glazed over, and her jaw clenched as if she were fighting against the murderous intent within her.

"Duh——"

Wen Ming suddenly shouted, his voice carrying a powerful spiritual force that surged towards the group.

At the same time, Hela, the Goddess of Death, chuckled and raised her hand, sending a surge of killing intent rushing towards her body: "Not bad, I didn't expect to be able to absorb such powerful energy by following you this time."

With this two-pronged approach, John and his companions quickly snapped out of their negative state of killing and looked at each other with lingering fear.

Is this Ares, the God of War?

Is such power simply from unleashing a killing field?
"I think I've found someone interesting."

Ares, the God of War, slowly flew into the air and came to stand in front of the dizzy woman. He looked at Hela in the cabin with a hint of curiosity: "What kind of god are you? You were able to absorb my killing domain. The divine power on you reminds me of one of my uncles."

"You're not talking about Hades, the god of the underworld in your universe, are you?"

Hela floated out of the cabin: "I am very interested in these gods of your universe."

But today, I will reap your power.

"To reap my power?"

Ares seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. He raised his hand and summoned countless pieces of steel from the building below, which then shot towards Hela with a roar.

Just as Hela was about to retaliate, Diana, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly jumped into the air and sent the steel bars flying.

"I told you, your opponent is me!"

Diana crossed her arms again, and this time the power that erupted was not the power of a guardian deity, but an extremely powerful blue and white lightning force.

"How is this possible? How could you possess the power of thunder? This is something only gods can possess, you're just a demigod..."

Ares was filled with disbelief when he saw this power.

The power of thunder can only be wielded by the God-King and his bloodline descendants.

Diana was just a demigod. Even if she had Zeus's bloodline, how could she possibly possess such power?

Moreover, this power is incredibly strong!

Could it be that his biased father bestowed more divine power upon a demigod bastard?
Thinking of this, Ares angrily gathered his lightning power: "I will show you the power of a true god!"

The violent power of lightning rapidly condensed in mid-air, turning the entire sky from daylight to night.

Just as the two forces of lightning were about to collide, a blue-orange lightning bolt and two cyan-gold heat rays struck Ares almost simultaneously.

"Shockwave—"

The young Goku, now back to normal, was caught in mid-air by the Flying Nimbus. Seeing such a powerful enemy, he was not discouraged at all, but instead excitedly used his ultimate move that he had been practicing for a long time.

A pure white energy ball condensed between his palm, which was held in his right abdomen, and then transformed into a pure white beam of light as thick as an arm, which slammed into Ares.

"And us!"

The red and blue heat rays that had been brewing to their fullest extent in the eyes of the twin Supergirls struck Ares, the God of War, at this moment.

They hadn't activated this superpower before, but this time, they benefited from the misfortune and had it activated by Ares ahead of time.

"Do not--"

Ares roared, unleashing a torrent of divine power.

Several forces collided suddenly in mid-air, and the air fell silent for a moment in pure white.

Immediately afterwards——

"boom!!!"

The explosion's light engulfed everything, and everyone present was thrown away by the shockwave. Among them, only one figure rushed forward with a giggle: "Such powerful strength, it's all mine now."

Ares, who was thrown into the air by the violent explosion, had his God of War armor torn to shreds, and his two God of War swords were nowhere to be found. His flesh was a mess, and half of his body had been blown away. He was no longer the arrogant man he had been just moments before.

That attack just now severely injured him.

He struggled to maintain his balance and remain airborne, his mangled body writhing as he used divine power to heal his injuries. However, the figure had already reached him.

"who are you?"

"I?"

The Goddess of Death stretched out her right hand with lightning speed, easily grabbing the heavily injured Ares by the neck: "Goddess of Death, Hela!"

"Hela, the goddess of death?"

Ares looked at the woman in front of him with suspicion and uncertainty. She had no idea where she came from. Could she be another illegitimate daughter born to her father Zeus and some goddess?

"At a time like this, is there time to think about anything else?"

Hela's reminder made Ares realize the situation quickly, but what good did it do now?

"You, how could you absorb my divine power?"

Ares's face was filled with terror. Hela chuckled and said, "You know nothing of my power."

As Hela finished speaking, the powerful suction suddenly intensified, and in just a few seconds, the remaining divine power in the heavily injured Ares' body was completely absorbed by Hela.

"So cool!"

Hela casually tossed the dried-up Ares to Diana, letting her kill him, while she smiled broadly at Wen Ming: "Every time I come out with you, I feel so good. Tonight I'm going to reward you."

Inside the dizzying cabin, Ada Wong still heard those words amidst the noisy propellers. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she immediately wanted to argue with the woman. Sarah quickly pulled her back, saying, "She's talking about power. In the DC Universe, she's already gained a lot of divine and demonic power from the boss."

Ada Wong snorted, “The best word she could use is power.”

After saying that, Ada Wong looked at Diana. This Wonder Woman was unharmed in the explosion, not because of her powerful demigod body, but because a tall figure was standing in front of her.

Hmph, trying to curry favor again.

When Aunt Wang saw Diana expressing her gratitude to Wen Ming with eyes full of romantic feelings, she became even more displeased.

I'm here tonight, and you Amazon won't be able to touch a single hair on my man's head.

……

Little Goku shook his head and flew up on his Flying Nimbus: "This God of War is so powerful. I just used all my strength."

"for you!"

Wen Ming took out a Senzu Bean, first tossing one to Goku, then tossing one to Diana, and eating one himself.

Although we didn't lose much power, we've achieved Senzu Bean freedom, haven't we?

"Diana, don't be fooled by the plot. Ares is the god of war. As long as there is war, he will not fall completely. He will make a comeback during World War II."

However, he couldn't cause any trouble this time, and he certainly won't be able to defeat you again after your enhancement.

Wen Ming flew to Diana's side to remind and encourage her.

Diana nodded firmly: "As long as I exist in this universe, I will not let him cause trouble again."

"Alright, let's go. The rest of the war belongs to humanity."

Wen Ming waved for everyone to leave. He didn't care about the chaos below or the fact that ordinary people had witnessed the fight between the two.

This is the DC Universe, so it's not particularly surprising to see a few strange heroes who can fly and use lightning and heat rays.

However, before leaving, Wen Ming gave Qing Hou an order: "Go find Dr. Poison and make a copy of all her research data."

I remember she had a simplified version of a mysterious gas that could greatly increase a person's strength after inhaling it. Although it was far inferior to the Super Soldier Serum, there might still be something we could learn from it.

The Queen of Green responded and left.

……

Early in the morning, the birds on Paradise Island began to chirp and sing.

Queen Hippolyta was awakened by the chirping of birds outside her window. She slowly got up, went to the terrace, looked at the rising sun in the distance, and felt a sense of boundless satisfaction.

She was enjoying the wonderful moment when a sudden noise from the next terrace made her frown: "Antiop, what are you doing? Why are you so loud?"

"Oops, did I disturb you? Sorry."

Antiop seemed to have not slept all night, her face flushed with excitement. She stood behind the curtains on the terrace, peeking out to greet her sister: "Sister, you cried a lot last night too, loudly!"

Queen Hippolyta's eyes widened in panic.

Yesterday, when Hippolyta saw her daughter return safely, she finally felt relieved and overjoyed. After drinking celebratory wine, she thanked Wenming profusely for most of the night. However, her sister overheard her drunken crying.

There was no way around it; the enemy, Ares, the god of war, had weighed on her mind for thousands of years.

The Amazons were wiped out because of this god. Later, the Amazons were resurrected by the goddesses, but they were also forbidden by the goddesses from taking revenge on Ares.

This humiliation had been buried in Queen Hippolyta's heart for thousands of years. Now that she had been avenged with Wenming's help, how could she possibly maintain her dignity and composure as a queen?
So that night, fueled by alcohol, she shouted and cried loudly, venting all the grievances that had been bottled up in her heart for thousands of years.

This is why she felt so refreshed and relaxed after waking up this morning.

So cool.

I feel refreshed and invigorated all over.

However, her younger sister overheard her lapse in composure, which naturally made her feel a little embarrassed. She wanted to lift her long skirt and go back to her room, but her eyes were fixed on the constantly swaying curtains.

However, to her astonishment, another head peeked out from behind the curtains.

That was his younger sister, Meranipé.

"Meranipe, what are you doing here?"

Molanipe squinted and shook his head as he said, "My second sister is about to leave Paradise Island. I wanted to say goodbye to her, and I happened to run into her and Wen Ming sparring. I got a little itchy to join in, so I joined in."

Who knew that Wen Ming was so powerful that he beat my second sister and me so badly that we were completely helpless.

I'm so excited! No one on the entire Paradise Island is stronger than him.

No wonder everyone says he's a god.

"is it?"

Hippolyta's ears twitched suddenly. She looked at Antiope and Melaniepe in surprise. Her usually dignified face flushed red. "Come find me in the council chamber later."

"Okay, I'll be right there, I'll come find you."

Antiop's face was flushed red, her eyes were rapidly unfocused, and Melanie kept shaking her head: "Big sister, today is the last day for the three of us sisters to be together on Paradise Island, let's not separate, okay?"

"Huh? Antiop is leaving soon?"

The thought of her beloved younger sister, with whom she had spent thousands of years, leaving her saddened Queen Hippolyta once again.

In her heart, she never dared to believe that her sister was destined to die.

But everyone's experiences reminded her time and again that it was all real.

Antiop looked at her sister, her eyes filled with deep reluctance: "Sister, Wenming will definitely find a way to bring me back to this universe. We can also keep in touch by recording videos."

He's so capable, so incredibly capable, he can definitely do it.

In just 20 days, Amazon and its ilk have rapidly begun to accept all sorts of high-tech equipment.

Unlike the clones of the future in the NieR: Automata universe, these Amazons have survived for thousands of years, with their own core culture, beliefs, and social structure. High technology is merely a tool to them.

Just then, Meranipe comforted her, saying, "Sister, have you forgotten? You can now enter the metaverse. If Second Sister can't come back, you can come with me to see her."

Queen Hippolyta nodded, her mood improving slightly.

Fortunately, he still has his sister, Meranipé, to keep him company.

Because Meranipe is not a character who is destined to die but has not died, she can travel between Paradise Island and the Metaverse with herself and Diana.

Seeing that her sister was in a better mood, Melaniepe nudged Antiope with her shoulder. The two sisters, who were of one mind, suddenly jumped out from behind the curtains and grabbed Queen Hippolyta, who was deep in thought: "Sister, let's not be apart for a day today."

"Ah? No, no, I have things to do."

"The Queen isn't holding court today, so the three of us sisters haven't fought together in a long time, and we won't have the chance again. Don't you miss it, sister? We used to fight together all the time."

"Then, then hurry, hurry up."

"Don't worry, it will be quick."

……

"It's now confirmed that I can also take people out of the Wonder Woman universe. Like Diana, I currently have nine slots."

I gave my nine spots to nine Amazons who, apart from Antioch, were destined to die but had not.

They can never come back.

Inside the council hall of Paradise Island, many Amazons looked at the nine Amazons who were supposed to die but had not yet died, led by Siflin, standing behind Wen Ming.

People felt a mix of envy, reluctance, and relief.

Different people have different opinions.

After all, no matter how good the outside world is, it can't compare to Paradise Island, where people have lived for thousands of years. Wen Ming paused, then continued, "Diana also had nine spots. Three were given to Queen Hippolyta, Meranipe, and the seemingly doomed General Antiope. The fourth and fifth spots..."

At this point, many Amazons breathed a sigh of relief.

Although some people dislike it, most people know one thing: if chosen, in addition to going to the metaverse, they can also be strengthened again.

This was too tempting for the Amazons, who revered power.

Wen Ming looked around and then at the two people.

"Dilti and Pentessilia".

The Queen's personal guards, Deliti and Penthesilea, were stunned for a moment, then looked at Wen Ming with wild joy: "Is it me? Is it me?"

"Of course it's you two. The Queen specially requested and secured these spots for the two of you as a way of thanking you for your loyal protection over the years, and also hoping that you will be able to better assist your Princess Diana in the future."

Wen Ming smiled and gestured for the two women to stand behind Diana. The two women nodded excitedly and said, "We will definitely protect Diana well."

Before the Amazons could even feel their envy, Wen Ming turned to the women and announced, "The sixth and seventh spots are for Evia and Vineria!"

"Wow--"

Many Amazons looked on with envy at Vineria and Evia.

Although Vineria had already received the promise, she was still incredibly excited as she rushed towards Wen Ming: "Thank you, my God! I will be like Diana, your sharpest sword!"

Avia excitedly rushed over, and as she passed Harley Quinn, she gave her a hug and whispered in her ear, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"No, it is your own piety that has won God's favor. Go and thank God!"

Harley whispered in Evia's ear, and Evia excitedly lunged at Wenming again: "Thank you, my God, I love you!"

"I told you, I am not a god."

Wenming, Vineria, and Evia hugged, and the two excited women stood behind Diana.

"There are two spots remaining."

Wen Ming paused here, and the remaining Amazons all tensed up, some of them secretly regretting their actions.

When Harley approached him, why didn't he just agree to meet her directly? Why did he insist on saying he'd wait?

"The remaining two spots will be decided for now, as there are still 'Wonder Woman 2' and 'Justice League' set decades later. We will decide who will be chosen after the two films are completed."

If all goes well, there should be six more spots available after "Dawn of Justice" concludes.

Wen Ming's words filled the remaining Amazons with a sense of disappointment, but they were all relieved at the same time.

Does the fact that it's not confirmed mean I still have a chance?
Just then, Diana suddenly exclaimed, "Wen Ming, I've become stronger!"

Meranipe, Deliti, Pentessilia, Evia, Vineria, and the four Amazons who could have been taken away earlier all exclaimed at the same time: "God, I can't believe it... Oh my god, it really can be enhanced!"

Queen Hippolyta stared at her fist in disbelief: "I've become stronger too!"

Vineria excitedly rushed towards Wenming, jumped into his arms, and showered him with kisses: "My God, you have given me strength again!"

Not to be outdone, Evia also pounced.

All the Amazons present were green with envy.

Even the ten Amazons, led by Antiope, who were destined to die but had not, were envious.

They were hotel staff, not extra characters that Diana could bring to the hotel, so they couldn't be taken away by Diana like the ten lucky Amazons.

Now everyone is certain that leaving Paradise Island with Diana for the Metaverse can indeed lead to enhancement.

At that moment, every Amazon turned their gaze to Wen Ming, and everyone's breathing became heavier.

There are still 8 spots available!
Although these eight spots were supposedly given to Diana, the decision-making power actually rested with Wen Ming.

Many astute individuals have already set their sights on Harley.

They knew that Venerelia and Evia were selected by Harley because they had both been chosen.

Maybe Delilah and Pentessilia felt the same way; their expressions of surprise just now seemed a bit fake.

It seems that the Golden Dawn is indeed worth joining.

Wen Ming hadn't expected that the 11 people would receive enhancements so quickly after the list of participants was announced. He was genuinely happy for them: "Diana, how much has your strength improved?"

"At least double! I feel like I could fly right now."

Diana rushed out of the council chamber and leaped into the air, soaring through the sky: "Hahaha, I can fly! Kara, Ramir, come and see!"

Upon hearing this, the twin Super Girls immediately flew out of the council hall: "Then let's have a competition!"

Wen Ming looked at Vineria in his arms: "And you?"

Vineria silently assessed her body, then suddenly drew her sword and swiftly thrust it through the air several times: "My speed has increased by at least 30%."

Wenming looked at the Queen, and Hippolyta nodded and said, "Yes, I also have a speed boost."

Amazon is once again the envy of many.

Amazon's greatest skill is archery, and speed is also an innate attribute. After everyone was injected with the Super Soldier Serum, their speed had already increased several times, and now it has been increased by another 30%. What does that mean?
The most unruly Amazon, Artemis, couldn't take her eyes off Wenming.

I want to get that spot!

I must get that spot!

After Diana flew excitedly through the air for a while, she returned to the council hall with the Supergirl sisters. Just as Wen Ming was about to announce that he would be leaving the Wonder Woman universe with Antiope and the others, all the Amazons present screamed almost simultaneously.

The faces of the Supergirl sisters, Qinghou, Little Goku, John, Ada Wong, Kanzaki Kaori, Index, Hela the Goddess of Death, and others also showed excited expressions.

Harley Quinn reacted the fastest, stretching out her arms towards Wen Ming and shouting, "Let's welcome God's gift together!"

"Walter?"

Wen Ming looked at everyone present in surprise, somewhat puzzled.

Qinghou happily explained to Wenming, "Boss, we've all been enhanced."

Wen Ming quickly realized: "Because I led everyone through the storyline, everyone got enhanced?"

"Great! Including all Amazon products!"

Harley looked excitedly at the Amazons below the stage: "Can you feel it? This is the power of God!"

"It really can enhance me? My speed has increased too!"

"We can be strengthened even if we aren't taken away?"

"Is he really a god? He can strengthen himself without taking medicine or injections?"

……

The Amazons, who had just been filled with envy, were now in an uproar. They looked excitedly at their arms, and each of them could feel the strengthening power that seemed to appear out of nowhere from within.

Everyone can notice that their muscle fibers become denser and their speed is improved again.

Isn't it said that those of us who can't leave the Amazon can't be strengthened because of the plot?

Could he really be a god?

The way everyone looked at Wen Ming changed again.

Before it was fervent anticipation; this time, it's all about fanatical worship.

Antiop, Siflin, and the other ten Amazons who were supposed to die but hadn't died looked at Wen Ming in astonishment: "Boss, how come we were also enhanced? I feel like my speed has increased by at least 30%."

Hela, the goddess of death, looked at Wen Ming with a completely different expression: "I thought I wouldn't be enhanced in the DC universe."

Index clenched her little fists, her face flushed with excitement: "Ahhh, I'm a mage, and my speed has been enhanced! Does that mean I can eat faster from now on?"

Hearing this from the side, Little Wukong immediately clenched his little fist and said, "You definitely can't eat as fast as me."

Kanzaki Kaori looked at Wen Ming, her heart filled with gratitude.

I owe someone a big favor again.

How can I ever repay so many favors?

Am I really going to sell myself to him?

Thinking of this, Kanzaki Kaori's face flushed red.

Ada Wong was also very excited. She had thought she would have to wait several more months to be enhanced again after experiencing "Resident Evil: Code Veronica". She did not expect to have such a pleasant surprise this time.

Okay, I forgive you for flirting with so many Amazons again.

Qinghou raised her voice and said, "Everyone, wait a moment. I'm going to confirm something, and then I'll tell you what happened."

After saying that, Queen Qing pulled Diana away and disappeared from the spot. Soon, she returned with an excited Perkins and Selena.

As soon as Perkins arrived at Paradise Island, he excitedly said, "Boss, Marcus and I have also been enhanced."

Everyone looked at Qinghou, who explained, "Last time, the boss led us to actively activate the 'Indiana Jones' storyline in Universe 838, and everyone involved in the storyline was enhanced."

Therefore, Rule Seven has an additional clause: Anyone who travels to the multiverse with the boss and completes the storyline will receive some attribute enhancements.

This time, the boss replaced Steve Trevor as the male lead, starting the Wonder Woman storyline. During this storyline, all the characters involved and the employees of the Iron Hotel were enhanced.

Perkins and Marcus did not participate in the siege of Ares, the God of War, but they had previously come to Paradise Island to participate in its transformation and sparred with the Amazons.

Because Selena is from the same universe as Diana, she was also boosted by 30% in speed.

However, when the boss led the team to NieR: Automata for the final battle, it failed to trigger everyone's enhancements.

Therefore, this rule needs to be changed to:
Whenever the boss, as the protagonist, actively initiates a multiverse of storylines, all fellow travelers, travelers related to the storylines of that universe, and travelers from the same universe can receive some attribute enhancements.

In short, from now on, everyone should follow the boss around to other universes whenever they have free time; who knows, you might trigger some kind of plot.

However, such opportunities are rare and hard to come by, so don't be too eager for them.

As for why all the Amazons other than the 21 of them were enhanced, I speculate that there is a 36% chance that it is because the entire Paradise Island is under a kind of spacetime force. The boss took the initiative to open the spacetime rift of Paradise Island, connecting your closed world with the outside world and the metaverse. Therefore, all the Amazons on Paradise Island are regarded as potential employees of the metaverse.

There is a 49% chance that all the Amazons have been identified as time travelers related to the plot, and they may enter the Iron Hotel in the future and become employees of the Iron Hotel.

There's a 15% chance that the boss, as the male protagonist, has a wider range of influence over the characters in the story than one might imagine.

This needs to be verified again when a similar plot occurs, but we may not know until the end of Wonder Woman 2.

The absence of a similar situation in the previous Indiana Jones 4 and Indiana Jones 5 is likely because Red Skull influenced the plot of the first three films, since those artifacts appeared in places they shouldn't have.

In short, if the boss becomes the main character in the story, the benefits are greater than people imagine.

Qinghou's explanation made everyone understand what was going on.

Although Qinghou told everyone that such opportunities were rare because Wen Ming, as the protagonist, needed to actively initiate the plot in the multiverse, everyone was certain of one thing.

Harley's gaze at Wen Ming was beyond fanaticism: "Boss, you're a god!"

Wen Ming waved his hand and said, "This is the power of the spatial rift, not my power. I do not have the ability to grant you power."

Selena chuckled, "Yes, yes, the boss is right, it's all the power of the spatial rift."

but--"

At this point, Selena's voice suddenly rose: "Who is the owner of the spatial rift?"

Wen Ming wanted to deny it, but Hela, the Goddess of Death, stood up: "Don't be modest. We all know that all of this originated from you."

Without you, these Amazons will only be slaughtered like chickens by Darkseid in the future.

Without you, these Transformers would only be prey for humans.

Without you, these YoRHa androids would only become puppets of mechanical lifeforms.

Without you, they, including me, would have all perished at the hands of the world's will.

John walked up to Wenming and looked at him: "You saved us all."

A warm feeling welled up in Wen Ming's heart. He looked at everyone's eager gazes and suddenly smiled: "We are allies, aren't we?"

Everyone smiled knowingly.

Just then, Harley Quinn suddenly said, "Boss, why don't we rename the Golden Alliance to Golden Dawn? You always bring dawn to everyone, Golden Alliance sounds so low-class."

"Golden Dawn?"

Wen Ming pondered the word for a moment, then nodded after a few seconds: "Okay, this name sounds much better than the Golden Alliance that I just came up with on the spot before."

"Wow, the Golden Dawn has been officially established!"

Harley looked excitedly at the Blue Queen, who in turn scanned everyone present. A strange smile flashed in the eyes of the Supergirl sisters, Kanzaki Kaori, Index, 2B, A2, Selena, and others.

Wen Ming looked at the group with a puzzled expression: "It's just changing a name, what's so funny?"

Selena immediately changed the subject, saying, "We're just having fun, boss, let's have a party."

This is something to celebrate, after all, aside from Thomas and most of the hotel staff, all the Amazonian and DC Universe time travelers have been enhanced.

"Alright, let's have a big party then."

Wen Ming was used to foreigners throwing parties, so he suggested, "Let's consider this a farewell party for Antiop and her best friends."

Antiop, Siflin, and the other ten Amazons' eyes immediately turned red.

"thank you boss!"

"Let's see how we get you drunk tonight."

"No, we can't get him drunk, he won't be able to stand up!"
