Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 274 The Queen of the Underworld Has Arrived! (8K votes requested)
The two Hela and Minerva deliberately controlled the speed at which they absorbed Hades' power, only increasing their efforts after Rebecca nodded and said that the blood was enough for all vampires to improve their strength and for research.

Unbeknownst to everyone, while Minerva was absorbing the power of Hades, Wen Ming's body was also undergoing subtle changes.

Hela noticed that the Hades power absorbed by Minerva was actually more than the combined Hades power absorbed by her and Hela from universe 838.

In short, Minerva alone absorbed two-thirds of Hades' divine power.

Hela simply thought that Minerva was too weak and needed to absorb more of Hades' power to grow stronger. Moreover, Minerva was the guardian goddess of Wenming, so Hela didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, there will be many more opportunities to improve my strength by following Wen Ming.

After Minerva realized Wen Ming's meaning, the golden light around her intensified, completely concealing Wen Ming's movements.

Wen Ming felt a warmth in his heart.

Thank you, sweetheart.

I'm not your baby.

Okay, baby.

Minerva turned around and glared at Wen Ming, who smiled slightly and began to absorb Hades' power recklessly.

This is the divine power of the King of the Underworld in the DC Universe. Even if you share it with others, it will still make your strength increase by leaps and bounds.

In just ten minutes, Harris's body turned into countless points of light and dissipated in the mirror space.

Hades died, and all the demons were slaughtered by the Amazons, hotel staff, and time travelers.

To everyone's disappointment, there was no collective reinforcement.

The goddesses of death, Hela and Minerva, reaped the greatest benefits from this attack, followed by the vampires, who obtained the blood of Hades, which would allow their strength to surge upon absorption.

Finally, Wanda and her sister, Quicksilver and his brother, Supergirl and Phoenix, each of the seven little ones received a Hades Soul Orb, which they could use to make a spirit costume of their choice.

The Amazon Queen hosted a grand bonfire party to thank all the hotel staff and travelers who came to help today. Because of their timely arrival, not a single Amazonian sister died today.

This was simply unimaginable in the past.

Therefore, Queen Hippolyta toasted all the meritorious officials.

Misaka Mirei, holding a wine glass, happily joined the bonfire party, which made Misaka Mikoto feel extremely embarrassed: "Mom, everyone is fighting bloody battles outside, and you're sleeping soundly inside. How dare you continue to come and freeload?"

Misaka Mirei said with a smile, "I'm here to celebrate your victory."

"Shall we have a few drinks?"

Yes, that's exactly what I mean! Cheers!

Misaka Mirei smiled and raised her wine glass, clinking glasses with everyone she met. Before she had even had a few drinks, she was already drunk again.

Misaka Mikoto had no choice but to pick her up by the waist and carry her back to her room.

This mother can't hold her liquor, but she insists on drinking contests with others.

"Oh, Mikoto, don't take me back to my room."

"Let's go to the hot springs! I want to soak in the hot springs, I want a beauty treatment!"

Misaka Mirei was yelling and screaming on Misaka Mikoto's back. Misaka Mikoto had no choice but to carry her to the hot spring cave. After finally putting her mother into the hot spring pool, she felt exhausted and covered in sweat.

A drunk mom is too much trouble.

Should I soak in a hot spring too?
After Mom took a bath last night, she seemed to become much prettier; her skin even looked much softer.

So, let's soak!
……

"How much do you know about the underworld? Is Hades truly dead this time, or will he be reborn in the underworld?"

Beside the campfire, Wen Ming, with lipstick stains all over his face, casually sat back on the beach and drank.

Wonder Woman gently wiped away his lipstick stain while shaking her head and saying, "I don't know much about the specifics, since I've never been to the Underworld."

However, I know that the underworld is located in the realm of the gods, a place where the dead from various civilizations go, and a place managed by the god of death in various mythological systems such as Hades.

Hades must pass through our Paradise Island to reach the Pantheon where Zeus and the others reside.

As for whether he is completely dead, I can't say for sure, but he is most likely dead, because I just heard the bells ringing in the Realm of the Gods.

However, gods do not die completely; they return to their origin, awaiting the opportunity to be reborn and descend again.

Wen Ming was delighted to hear this, because although Hades could not be completely killed, it also meant that for a considerable period of time in the future, the Underworld would be unable to organize a large-scale, respectable attack.

Paradise Island is about to enter a period of rapid development, and I am confident that during this time I can elevate Amazon's overall strength to a new level.

This will be my second backyard, besides NieR: Automata.

"Who will take over the underworld in the future?"

"It's uncertain, because the underworld has always been a place where strength reigns supreme. Zeus might send his child to take over, but they all have to deal with one person."

"Who?" Wen Ming asked in confusion.

Persephone, Queen of the Underworld.

Diana said, "She was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, but Zeus tricked and lured her to Hades, who took her to the underworld. Her mother, Demeter, with the help of another daughter, Hecate, chased after her to the underworld in order to save her."

It was Mother who helped open the entrance to the underworld. For this, the Amazons fought a war against the demons of the underworld, and many of their sisters died. As a result, the three of them, mother and daughters, have a very close relationship with us Amazons.

Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, forced Zeus and Hades to abandon Persephone by promising a barren harvest. However, Hades tricked Persephone into eating four pomegranate seeds, which forced her to spend four months of each year in the underworld.

It is precisely because Demeter needs to stay in the underworld for these four months to protect Persephone that there are four months every year when everything withers.

Hecate also guarded Persephone in the underworld, becoming an irresistible goddess of death, an invincible and unparalleled empress, the creator and ruler of Hell.

Hecate is incredibly powerful. She is a goddess of sorcery, witches, spells, and sorceresses, and one of the very few unmarried goddesses. She once helped Zeus defeat the Cyclops, so she possesses the strength of a giant, and even Zeus had to show her some respect.

It was thanks to her and Demeter's protection that Persephone was spared Hades's clutches. However, because she was unable to leave the underworld for four months, Persephone had no choice but to accept the position of Queen of the Underworld bestowed upon her by Zeus.

Well……"

At this point, Wonder Woman suddenly paused, looked at Wen Ming with a strange gaze, and then waved to her mother.

Queen Hippolyta approached: "What's wrong?"

"Mother, do you still remember the vow that Persephone and Hecate made?"

Wonder Woman's words startled Queen Hippolyta, who then looked at Wen Ming with a strange expression: "Wen Ming, you should be prepared."

"Walter?"

Wen Ming looked at the mother and daughter with a puzzled expression, unable to understand what they were talking about.

Just then, the direction of the underworld entrance flashed again. Wen Ming stood up abruptly, about to put on the Destroyer mech and organize everyone to fight again.

Queen Hippolyta suddenly waved her hand and said, "Don't panic, it's not an invasion from the underworld, it's Demeter and her two daughters Hecate and Persephone."

They must have come to express their gratitude for Hades' death.

Hearing that they were friends and not enemies, Wen Ming was about to sit back down on the sand when Wonder Woman took his arm and led him toward the entrance to the underworld: "They've come to thank you."

Wen Ming looked up and saw four black horses pulling a carriage, slowly driving out of the underworld passage.

The eyes and hooves of the four black horses were all burning with flames, leaving black scorch marks wherever they went.

The chariot was driven by a stunningly beautiful goddess with a very peculiar appearance. She had three heads, three bodies, and six arms, and her three pairs of eyes were looking in three different directions.

The moment she saw Wen Ming, the stunning goddess stopped her carriage, stepped down, and opened the beaded curtain.

A pair of beautiful women walked down from there.

One of them was elegant and graceful, yet without any intimidating majesty; instead, she appeared very kind. She wore a circular crown woven from golden wheat ears and held wheat ears and a sickle in her hands.

The other goddess possessed a cold and majestic aura, holding a torch in one hand and a pomegranate in the other, her eyes filled with an unyielding iciness, like the ice layers of the underworld that had stood for millions of years.

However, this aloofness appears on a woman with a youthful charm, which makes her temperament even more complex and captivating.

The three goddesses approached Hippolyta and bowed respectfully to her: "Brave and fearless Amazon queen, thank you for killing Hades."

"No, I didn't kill Hades!"

Queen Hippolyta pointed at Wenming, who was surrounded by Wonder Woman and Diana: "It was him, the great Lord of all worlds, Wenming, who killed Hades."

"he?"

The three goddesses looked at Wen Ming, their eyes flashing with surprise and doubt. The cold and beautiful goddess even showed a rare hint of astonishment: "A human?"

“That’s right! He’s no ordinary human. He wields the power of thunder and commands powerful gods and warriors from countless universes. Diana is just a small pawn in his army.”

Queen Hippolyta turned to Wenming and gestured for him to unleash the power of thunder.

Although Wen Ming was somewhat confused, he still released the power of thunder as instructed.

When they saw blue and white lightning encircling Wen Ming's entire body, the three goddesses all showed expressions of amazement. The three-headed, three-bodied woman facing Wen Ming suddenly said, "I believe he can kill Hades."

“Yes, I believe it too.” The other side spoke at the same time, and the third side nodded immediately afterward, “He is the benefactor we are looking for.”

The elegant goddess bowed to Wen Ming and said, "Thank you, Lord of All Realms, you saved us, mother and daughter, three goddesses."

“I just happened to be there, and my main purpose was to help the Amazons defend against Hades’ attack,” Wenming said modestly.

“I am Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, and this is my daughter Hecate, who is the goddess of the road, and therefore has three heads and three bodies.”

After introducing the three-headed, three-bodied goddess, Demeter pointed to the cold and beautiful goddess and said, "This is my youngest daughter, Persephone. They will be your wives from now on."

"Walter?"

Wen Ming looked at the other person in surprise, feeling as if he had heard a joke.

Queen Hippolyta, who was standing nearby, quickly explained: "Persephone and Hecate swore an oath that whoever could kill Hades would marry the other."

They didn't know it from each other when they made the vow.

Wen Ming was surprised that such a scenario actually existed in reality, and he couldn't help but ask, "What if a woman killed Hades?"

"We will also keep our oath."

Hecate, with her three heads and three bodies, spoke simultaneously from her three mouths: "This is an oath we swore by divine authority, and it can never be broken."

Wen Ming opened his mouth, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "I didn't kill them at the time, but many people killed them together, including men and women."

Queen Hippolyta shook her head and said, "You are the only man; the rest are women."

Wen Ming immediately shook his head and said, "No, Thor, Tony, Loki, Bruce, Eric, and Charles all made their moves."

“They were just your subordinates. You were the one who truly killed Hades. You discovered where Hades had hidden his soul, and you burned his soul.”

Hippolyta smiled and said, "You shouldn't refuse."

Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, suddenly said, "I sense the power of Hades within you. Only the one who kills him can inherit his power, and you will be the new Queen of the Underworld."

I will only be your Queen of the Underworld!

Wen Ming smacked his lips, feeling a bit of a headache and unsure of what to do. Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "Wow, are you the beautiful goddess coveted by Hades? You're so beautiful."

Are these your mother and sister? They are just as beautiful as you. When you stand together, you look like quintuplets.

No wonder Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon were so fascinated by you.

In mythology, Zeus was so captivated by Persephone's beauty that he eventually transformed into Hades and ventured into the underworld to obtain her.

This shows just how beautiful Persephone was that the brothers Zeus and Hades went to great lengths to obtain her.

While Demeter was searching for Persephone, who had been abducted by Hades, she was pursued by the amorous Poseidon, who even transformed himself into a horse to win her over.

It's worth noting that Demeter was also one of Zeus's wives, and the sister of Poseidon and Zeus.

In short, the three women and their two daughters were constantly targeted by the three brothers. If Hecate hadn't been so strong, she probably wouldn't have escaped their clutches.

Yes, their relationship is indeed that complicated in myths and legends.

In DC comics, the three brothers are relatively restrained.

Harley and Poison Ivy appeared behind Wen Ming. Harley laughed and walked to the three of them: "We are having a grand bonfire party to celebrate our Lord of All Realms killing Hades, the King of the Underworld. Why don't we join in?"

"It's an honor for us."

Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, nodded with pleasure. She lifted the hem of her white dress, walked slowly to Wenming, and took his arm.

Hecate also walked to the other side and took her other arm.

Wen Ming's body stiffened instantly.

He looked helplessly at Wonder Woman, who wasn't jealous at all, but instead mouthed him to calm down.

Harley, chuckling, linked arms with Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, and chattered in her ear, "Hades is dead, so you don't need to go to the underworld anymore, right?"

"No, we still need to go back, because the Underworld needs to be managed. With Hades dead, Wenming needs to be the new King of the Underworld and Persephone the Queen of the Underworld to manage it together, otherwise the Underworld will be in chaos."

Demeter, being a kind-hearted woman, gently explained to everyone, "For thousands of years, I have been guarding my daughter in the Underworld for four months each year, which has led to the division of the world into four seasons. Therefore, I cannot rashly return to the realm of the gods, otherwise it would cause great trouble for all living beings."

Poison Ivy Pamela immediately nodded and said, "Yes, this has become a natural law and cannot be broken casually anymore."

Harley's eyes lit up. "How about we go to the metaverse of the Lord of All Realms instead of the Underworld?"

"Metaverse?"

Demeter looked at Harley with some doubt, and Harley immediately began to enthusiastically tell the three goddesses about the wonders of the metaverse. When the three goddesses heard that they could also travel to other universes, they were clearly tempted.

"Since you'll be stuck in the underworld for the next four months anyway, why not go somewhere else to relax? I'm sure you won't like that dark world."

Harley's voice was light and infectious: "It must be so boring there, right?"

"Indeed, there, all colors are in one shade, and even if I wear a white dress, it will be stained black."

Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, glanced down at her white dress, her face filled with deep melancholy.

Harley raised an eyebrow: "Then why not put those boring four months in a beautiful new world?"

Besides, you will become the woman of the Lord of All Realms in the future.

Wen Ming frowned upon hearing this and scolded, "Harley..."

"Ah, Hela, come and see, this is the Queen of the Underworld from the DC Universe."

I wonder if she will have a future version of herself like Diana. Aren't you jealous?
"Shouldn't you release your true form from Universe 838 right away?"

Hela, the goddess of death, turned her head when she heard Harley's call, and then her eyes widened.

Where did this wild woman come from?
How dare she hold my man's arm!
The Queen of the Underworld felt the gaze of the Goddess of Death and raised her chin. Hela was about to teach her a lesson when she saw another woman, arm in arm with Wenming.

When she saw that the other party had three heads, three bodies, and six arms, she suddenly stopped.

They're so ugly, Wen Ming definitely wouldn't like them.

Tony, Loki, and the others were green with envy when they saw Wen Ming being linked arm-in-arm with two—no, four—goddesses.

Bruce raised his eyebrows: "What's going on? Oh, she's Hecate. I know, this is Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, and behind them is their mother, Demeter."

Bruce was naturally very familiar with the gods of his universe's various systems. He had only been stunned by the other party's beauty. When he saw Hecate, he immediately guessed the identities of the three people.

"A mother and her two daughters?"

Tony and Loki sat up straight immediately.

Bruce nodded and said, "Hecate once swore that she would marry whoever could kill Hades and rescue her sister Persephone."

She is a rare goddess in mythology who remained chaste.

Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, once swore that she would marry whoever could rescue her from the underworld.

I guess they're here to fulfill their vow!

"Walter?"

Tony and Loki's breathing suddenly became heavy.

Fake!

How come all the good things happen to Wen Ming, that bastard?

He's so lucky!
Hela scoffed at Bruce's words: "Oath? To me, it sounds more like hiring someone to clean up the mess in their underworld."

Frigga patted Hela's hand from the side: "Hela, those are three true gods, with the same status and position as you."

"True gods? I could make all three of them cry with one punch."

Hela was a little annoyed: "What's the use of these useless vases?"

Frigga grabbed Hela's hand and used magic to spread the word.

Wen Ming is the Lord of all realms. If he wants to rule all realms, he needs someone to help him rule the various divinely favored lands.

The DC Universe is so complex that it will definitely need to unite multiple forces; Themyscira alone is not enough to suppress it.

Hela immediately fell silent.

If it were the old her, she would definitely have said, "Kill all the disobedient ones."

Now, having obtained all the memories and some of the power of Hela's clone from Universe 838, she is no longer the death goddess who only kills.

She also came to understand her father more and more.

Rule requires means.

However, she still did not approve of her father.

So cowardly!

Even the Nine Great Worlds could not completely suppress it, let alone the myriad realms.
Asgard is a joke.

Wen Ming, who has both the means and the strength, is exactly the kind of person she likes best.

Don't think that Wen Ming is just a pushover who saves people and gives away good stuff everywhere.

In fact, when Wen Ming gets ruthless, no one can stop him.

Why does Wen Ming insist on killing Hades today?

Wasn't it Hades who threatened his backyard?
Thinking of the backyard, Hela squinted her eyes: "Mom, when can we go see you from Universe 838 together?"

Frigga's gaze immediately drifted away: "Um, wait a minute, I've been a bit busy lately?"

"Busy? I feel like you're always running to the Iron Hotel! You come here more often than I do!"

Hela's words made Frigga's eyes widen even more: "I...I'm not here to discuss the future of Asgard with Wenming, am I?"

Hela scoffed, "It's the future of two Asgards! I've made my decision; Asgard must become my dowry."

Frigga glanced at her two sons: "You are the queen, you make the decisions."

Hela immediately laughed: "That's how it should be!"

……

Soon, all the staff at the Iron Hotel and most of the time travelers learned about it.

Everyone's gazes fell strangely on Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, and Hecate, and then on Wenming.

The joyful bonfire party suddenly took on a slightly eerie feel.

Feeling uncomfortable, Wen Ming winked at Harley and Pamela, asking them to help entertain him, and then got up and went to the hot spring cave.

He wanted to be alone to think carefully about how to settle the two goddesses—no, the four goddesses.

No, that's not right either. There's also an agricultural goddess.

Malena immediately followed him, wanting to serve him, but Wen Ming waved his hand, signaling her to continue drinking: "You're with me every day, you don't have any time for yourself, go and have some fun."

Malena shook her head and said, "Serving you is my everything."

Wen Ming ruffled her hair: "Good girl."

Marlena then stopped insisting: "I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."

Wen Ming smiled and nodded, then walked into the hot spring cave.

The two Amazons guarding the entrance immediately exchanged an excited glance. They quickly switched eyes, and then one of the Amazons put away his weapon and hurried inside.

……

"Mom, listen, I hear someone crying."

Misaka Mikoto, who was soaking in the hot spring, opened her eyes in confusion. Misaka Mirei, who was next to her, snorted, "No one is crying. Someone is clearly laughing."

Okay, stop bothering me, I'm going back to playing games with my sister.

"younger sister?"

Misaka Mikoto looked at her mother in confusion: "Where did you get a younger sister? I have an aunt?"

"Don't ask questions you don't understand."

Misaka Mirei picked up the wine glass beside her, wanting to take a sip, but found it was empty. She swayed as she stood up from the hot spring pool: "I'll go get some more wine."

"Can you do it?"

Misaka Mikoto looked at her worriedly, while Misaka Mirei laughed and said, "You look down on your mother, don't you? Don't worry, the handsome young man arranged for Amazon to protect me, nothing will happen."

Misaka Mikoto thought about it and agreed, so she happily lay down in the hot spring pool again and began to soak in the bath.

I'm sure I'll be even more beautiful after today's bath.

Would Wen Ming like me if I became fair-skinned?

Speaking of which, I seem to have gotten bigger recently.

Hey.

Misaka Mikoto drifted off to sleep contentedly amidst the rising heat.

In her dream, she seemed to hear the singing voice, both melodious and poignant.

Why does it sound so much like my mother?
Is someone bullying her?

impossible!
It's all because Mom bullied them!

sleep.

Hmm, it's a bit hot!
This hot spring is so hot!

They were all sweating.

Fortunately, no one could see us from inside the hot spring pool.

……

The following morning, Wen Ming finished breakfast under the gentle care of Malena, and then prepared to return to the hotel.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw the elegant and graceful goddess of agriculture, Demeter, waiting for him. Wen Ming was very embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were waiting for me here."

Can we talk alone?

Demeter glanced at Malena, who immediately left. She then looked at 2B and A2, the two Neferlins remaining motionless.

Wen Ming waved his hand: "2B, you guys stay outside and keep watch."

2B and A2 were somewhat reluctant, but they still obediently stood outside the door.

The door closed, and Wen Ming and the Goddess of Agriculture sat together on the sofa by the window.

“I have learned everything about you from Queen Hippolyta, and my two daughters know it too.”

Demeter cut to the chase: "I know you may not be able to accept this right now, but I assure you, they all did it voluntarily."

Persephone and Hecate are both the purest and most innocent; please give each other a chance to accept one another.

Wen Ming shook his head and said, "First of all, I didn't go there to rescue you and your two daughters."

Secondly, I never seek anything in return for saving people. If everyone were like you, there would be far too many people wanting to marry me.

Demeter nodded and said, "I believe in your noble character."

Harley and I talked a lot too. My two daughters and I all highly approve of your character and the Iron Hotel, and we'd like to join your hotel.

Wen Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief, but Demeter's next words startled him so much that he sat up straight.

"You may not know."

"Walter?"

“When I couldn’t find my daughter anywhere and was desperate and had nowhere to turn, I made that vow.”

"What!?"

……

"Amelia, Serena, are they ready?"

When Wen Ming returned to the hotel, he was still somewhat dazed.

He had forgotten what he had promised Demeter; the other woman was so enthusiastic that he couldn't bear to refuse. Now, all he wanted to do was keep himself busy.

Amelia smiled broadly as she took Wen Ming's arm and walked into the elevator of Building 3: "Everything was prepared long ago. All the vampires didn't drink a drop of alcohol last night in preparation for the big meal later."

"Then let me see what changes will occur after a vampire drinks divine blood."

Wen Ming was getting impatient, but Amelia teased him in the ear, "Did you manage to win over two goddesses last night?"

Wen Ming slapped her on the bottom: "Don't talk nonsense."

“I didn’t guess, I was asking my God,” Amelia giggled. “I bet you $1 that you didn’t have it.”

"Why do you have so much confidence in me?"

Wen Ming looked at Amelia with a puzzled expression. Amelia smiled without saying a word, because the elevator doors had already opened.

The vampires had been waiting for a long time, and everyone looked at Wen Ming excitedly. Serena hugged her parents, her face full of happiness: "Boss, you're going to improve our strength again."

"I will definitely keep my promise to you."

Wen Ming looked at Rebecca, who nodded and said, "I have prayed to the divine beast White Tiger, and all this blood has been purified by him. However, I do not recommend that they drink too much of it, after all, it is divine blood, and it would be best if Amelia or Serena started it."

The Iron Hotel has always prioritized stability; even though Hades, the god of the underworld, is dead, his divine blood still needs to undergo a final purification.

"Serena, go first. Serena is the strongest."

Wen Ming looked at Serena, who immediately went to the regeneration cradle in front of Rebecca and lay down. The Adamantium restraint lock held her firmly in the regeneration cradle.

Instantly, a holographic projection of her body data was displayed.

Zhao Hailun, Shana, Maya, Bertha, Erskine and others all gathered around and began monitoring Serena's physical data.

"Start with one drop."

Rebecca tapped the control panel, and a syringe appeared above Serena. Immediately, a drop of golden blood fell into Serena's mouth.

Serena's eyes suddenly became unfocused.

The vampires, including Amelia, were equally disoriented; the moment they saw the golden blood, their breathing became heavy.

Wen Ming's eyes were also glazed over for a second before he regained his senses.

He silently reminded himself that he had to restrain himself, otherwise he would easily become a target.

One must not become a slave to blood.

One must become the master of blood.

Soon, Serena's body began to tremble violently. Just a drop of divine blood was enough to make Serena, the most powerful vampire, react so intensely. The other vampires, instead of regaining their senses, became even more frenzied.

That's the vampire's instinctive craving for powerful blood.

Even though their bodies have been enhanced, they still have very poor control over their bodies, just like Phoenix and Wanda back then.

It can easily get out of control.

Ten minutes later, Serena's body stopped trembling, and her eyes focused again: "Rebecca, again, one drop isn't enough, I need at least 10 drops."

……

We'll continue the lucky draw this month.
