Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 277 Sun Queen, Divine Source, Undead Legion (8K views, please vote twice)
Although Wen Ming didn't plan to meet the gods in the "Kung Fu King" universe at this point in time, he still wanted to confirm it.

Therefore, Wen Ming directly dispatched the White Queen Emma and the vampire queen Semira. The two of them went out together and quickly found the antique shop where the Ruyi Jingu Bang was located.

And the so-called chosen one—the male protagonist Jason—was still wearing open-crotch pants.

"Boss, why don't we just rob it? I think you're the chosen one."

Emma looked at the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) in the antique shop, unable to contain her excitement: "It's been delivered right to you!"

"No, come back. I'd rather not have this collective enhancement."

After confirming the existence of the Forbidden Kingdom universe, Wen Ming became even more confident: "Don't disturb them. Let's try again when my strength is sufficient."

"Huh? You're not strong enough yet?" Emma asked in confusion. "You killed Hades, the god of the underworld, and Hera, the queen of the gods."

"What kind of gods are they? Even a single hair of the Monkey King could kill them."

Wen Ming shook his head and said, "Don't disturb them, just go back to the hotel."

Emma and Semira exchanged a glance, both somewhat displeased. Semira's eyes darted around, "Boss, aren't you going to meet the Sun Queen Himiko with Laura? We'll protect you."

Emma immediately nodded and said, "Yes, such a powerful ancient god, boss, you need some bodyguards."

"I'm already on Yamatai Island," Wen Ming said, then hung up the call.

Emma and Semira exchanged a glance, then excitedly mounted their somersault cloud and flew towards Yamatai: "Somersault cloud, I need you to get me to the boss as fast as you can!"

"call--"

……

"Boss, we agreed to come on vacation, but you're busy again."

Malena tenderly embraced Wen Ming, completely disregarding Laura sitting beside her.

Laura understood the unspoken meaning in Malena's words and was deeply moved.

She knew that Wen Ming brought her to this island so that she would have no regrets, so she said directly, "After things are settled on this island, I will take you to my newly bought private island for a few days of fun, and I will make sure Wen Ming doesn't have to worry about anything else."

Malena smiled happily.

She truly felt sorry for Wen Ming.

Originally, I thought there wouldn't be too much trouble in the Tomb Raider universe, but first I discovered the artifact from The Forbidden Kingdom, and then I had to go to Yamatai Island in Tomb Raider: Origin or Tomb Raider 9 to help Lara find her father.

This made Malena angry.

Next time, let's go straight to the Terminator universe.

If that doesn't work, try The Walking Dead universe.

I refuse to believe that these two post-apocalyptic universes can still produce new storylines.

……

The first film in the Tomb Raider reboot series, Tomb Raider: Origin, is an adaptation of the game Tomb Raider 9.

The plot of the movie mainly revolves around Lara discovering clues left by her father, traveling to Yamatai Island, where she actually finds her father Richard and also the legendary body of Queen Himiko.

It turns out that Queen Himiko carried a contagious virus that only she was immune to, and in order to prevent it from spreading to her people, she chose to exile herself.

To prevent the Trinity organization's plot from succeeding, Laura and her father joined forces to fight against them. However, Richard, infected with the virus, chose to use explosives to completely bury Himiko.

Conversely, in the game's storyline, Richard is clearly dead, and Queen Himiko is not a self-exiled person, but rather constantly seeks a physical vessel to be reincarnated in order to achieve immortality.

Regardless of which one it is, Queen Himiko possesses the ability to summon wind and rain, control lightning and waves. She can keep the skies above Yamatai Island shrouded in thunderstorms and storms year-round, and can also cause towering waves around Yamatai Island, causing any planes or ships that dare to approach to mysteriously crash.

"Boss, how do we get in?"

The somersault cloud hovered above Yamatai Island. Looking down at the storm-swept island below, 2B frowned and said, "Why don't I just jump down and kill Queen Himiko with one strike?"

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Wen Ming slammed his arms together, and a spatial rift immediately opened, revealing the temple where Queen Himiko was located on the other side.

The moment Lara saw the temple, she knew for sure: "It's from the game's storyline."

Wen Ming quickly pulled her into his arms: "It's okay, I'll keep helping you search until we bring your parents home."

Laura nodded, her eyes filled with determination, and then stepped into the spatial rift.

Who are you? Kill them!

As soon as the group stepped into the temple where Queen Himiko was located, several shouts rang out; they were from the Storm Guardians who protected Queen Himiko.

Himiko was born during the Yamatai civil war. She possessed magical abilities and could communicate with demons. She used her magic to gain the obedience of the people and ascended the throne as queen at the age of 17. She lived in seclusion in the palace for many years and never married.

Queen Himiko originally commanded an army called the "Storm Guardians." In every battle, she would summon storms to destroy the enemy's forces, making the Storm Guardians invincible. Similarly, the Storm Guardians held Queen Himiko in utmost reverence and loyalty, honoring her as the "Sun Queen."

The leader of the Stormguards is called the "Storm General." This position is very special; the Storm General is the commander of the army, the Queen's personal bodyguard, the only man who can get close to the Queen, and the person directly in charge of the Queen's reincarnation and coronation ceremony.

Hundreds of years ago, Queen Himiko was about to undergo a reincarnation and coronation ceremony. The chosen priestess was named "Hoshi". Hoshi stole a dagger from General Storm and hid it in her clothes. Just as the queen was about to begin infusing her soul, Hoshi stabbed the queen's body with the dagger. When General Storm rushed in, Hoshi committed suicide with the dagger.

The star destroyed the Queen's existing body and also damaged its own, making it impossible for the Queen to continue using reincarnation. With her injured and dying body, the Queen could not quickly find a new heir to complete the coronation.

Thus, Himiko's soul could only remain in her existing body.

After the failed coronation ceremony, the Stormguards swore to protect the Queen and the Secret Chamber. They killed anyone who approached the Chamber, devoured the corpses, and drew life force from them to ensure their survival for hundreds of years.

The arrival of Wen Ming and his men immediately alerted the Stormguards. However, before they could even raise their swords, two black figures swiftly weaved through their ranks. In just a few seconds, hundreds of Stormguards were cut into pieces.

Crows spotted the scraps of meat in the air, immediately cawing as they swooped down to peck at them.

They ate countless people in the past, and now they have become food for other creatures.

Wenming didn't look at the Storm Guardians, but instead walked into the hall with Laura and went directly to Queen Himiko.

Queen Himiko wore heavy makeup because the Storm Guardians had used paint to decorate her decaying face and body and placed her on the altar for worship.

As Wenming and Laura entered the temple, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky above Yamatai, plunging the temple into complete darkness. Then, countless bolts of lightning ripped through the sky, causing the world to flicker between light and shadow.

"Why do you possess Kamui?"

A faint, elusive voice echoed within the temple. Malena nervously grabbed Wenming's arm, but then, feeling that this would disturb him, she quickly let go. However, Wenming immediately grabbed her small hand.

Malena immediately felt her body warm up rapidly, starting from her right hand.

Laura looked at Queen Himiko with some surprise, not understanding what she meant by divine power, but she quickly looked at Wenming in astonishment.

The legend that Wen Ming is a god is no secret in the hotel; in fact, many people secretly worship Wen Ming, which is an open secret.

Even the most scientifically minded professors like Professor Erkins, Tony, and Howard have never denied this.

Now, whenever Queen Himiko sees Wenming, she exclaims that Wenming possesses divine power, which makes Laura even more certain that Wenming is a god.

Before Wen Ming could even speak, Queen Himiko on the altar suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.

Unable to move her body, she could only kneel on the ground in an extremely awkward way: "Please, great God, save me, I am willing to offer my loyalty."

Wen Ming was stunned; he hadn't expected the other party to kneel down as soon as he arrived.

I thought there would be a big battle or something, but this is too easy!

Is this divine power really that effective?
It should be noted that Queen Himiko's body was severely decayed, so her ability to perform such a kneeling gesture definitely required the use of her soul power.

This scene is like the local deity meeting the Monkey King in "Journey to the West".

After careful consideration, Wen Ming concluded that the divine power within him most likely came from the Hades God Power and the Heavenly Queen God Power that he had devoured, or from the Hades God Blood and the Heavenly Queen God Blood.

After absorbing this divine power and blood, his strength increased, but he could not hide it. This allowed Queen Himiko, a soul with great power, to keenly perceive his divine might.

This is a problem that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

Wen Ming fell silent. Laura and Malena stood to the side, not disturbing his thoughts.

Himiko became anxious when she saw that Wen Ming remained silent, and a small ball of white energy quickly appeared above her head.

That is part of the soul.

This powerful Sun Queen was now as humble as an ant, only seeking God's salvation.

"The person you need to be loyal to is her."

Wen Ming pointed at Laura, who was a little surprised, but then understood what Wen Ming meant. She happily hugged Wen Ming's head and gave him a big kiss: "Thank you, darling."

The Sun Queen didn't know why this powerful god wanted her to serve an ordinary human, even if this human was stronger than the average human. However, she knew that her life was nearing its end, especially since all her Stormguards had died. So she had no choice but to send her soul to Lara.

Just as Laura received Queen Himiko's soul, Wen Ming immediately grabbed her and Queen Himiko and appeared on the rooftop of Building 1 of the Flatiron Hotel.

A flash of white light appeared on the divine beast White Tiger, and the soul of Queen Himiko in Lara's hand was immediately imprinted with a soul mark.

From then on, she became Lara's guardian queen.

Laura sensed that she could control Queen Himiko's life and death at any time, and she could no longer suppress her joy: "Are you preparing a family guardian for the future Earl Crawford?"

No, this is a gift for you.

I don't want you to go on adventures alone anymore, even if you now have the most advanced robots, equipment, and gear.

I want her to take my place and protect your safety.

Countess Crawford was immediately moved: "Love me."

"God, please save me..."

Although Queen Himiko knew it was inappropriate to interrupt her master's moment of pleasure, her body was rapidly decaying since she left Yamatai Island, and death could come at any moment.

Wen Ming had no choice but to grab Queen Himiko's body, tear open a spatial rift, and arrive at Zhao Hailun's laboratory.

Zhao Hailun was studying the divine blood when she saw Wen Ming holding a horrifying corpse, and she was so frightened that she almost screamed.

However, she had recently witnessed quite a few strange things, so she quickly calmed down: "What's wrong, boss?"

“She’s dying. See if you can use the Regeneration Cradle to reshape her body.”

Wen Ming then looked at the divine blood beside him: "Give her ten drops of the Heavenly Empress's divine blood."

"this is very simple."

Zhao Hailun quickly placed Queen Himiko's body into the regeneration cradle, and within just a few minutes, the state of every cell in her body was scanned.

"God, I need a new body."

Queen Himiko, unaware of what the other party was doing, forced out her plea from her parched throat: "Give me a body."

"Don't worry, I'm just giving you a body now."

Zhao Hailun smiled gently, calming Queen Himiko down. She raised her hand and pressed a button on the control panel, and dozens of lasers quickly began to remove all the rotten flesh and bones from her body.

Then, one needle after another pops out, and the removed tissues and organs are quickly 3D printed.

This scene left Queen Himiko speechless.

She's seen it all.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a god.

But today, she actually saw the other party using a strange thing to make her flesh and bones reappear bit by bit.

This is simply a miracle.

"You, are you also, a god?"

Queen Himiko initially thought she would have to struggle to speak as much as before, but she soon discovered that she could speak normally, just as she had hundreds of years ago.

This surprised and delighted her even more.

"I am not a god, I am just a follower of a god."

Zhao Hailun made a playful joke, but her eyes glanced at Laura's hand, which was tightly gripping Wen Ming's.

Laura saw Zhao Hailun's gaze and gave her a defiant look.

Zhao Hailun quickly turned around and began to prepare the divine blood of the Heavenly Queen for Queen Himiko.

Laura smiled victoriously.

Compare with me?
Are you bigger than me?

……

Queen Himiko's original physical body simply couldn't withstand the absorption of divine blood, so Zhao Hailun didn't directly inject the divine blood. Instead, he first injected Queen Himiko with super soldier serum that matched her genes, thus strengthening her body.

After the Super Soldier Serum was integrated into her body, Helen Zhao re-collected her genetic sample and then matched it with the Divine Blood of the Queen.

If it were any other hotel employee or time traveler, they certainly wouldn't be able to withstand the power of divine blood, but Queen Himiko herself was no ordinary person.

Queen Himiko thought it was already a miracle that her physical body could be regenerated, but when the first drop of the Queen's divine blood was injected into her body, she trembled violently.

"God, what is this?"

Wen Ming smiled slightly: "This is the divine blood of the Queen Hera. After absorbing it, your body will most likely no longer collapse due to being unable to withstand your power, and you will no longer need to find a new physical vessel to reincarnate in the future."

"what?"

Queen Himiko was stunned when she heard the words "blood of the goddess Hera".

My God, have you killed Hera, the Queen of Gods?

Otherwise, how could he have obtained the divine blood of Hera, the Queen of Gods? Moreover, judging from this, he is not the first person to receive the blessing of divine blood.

Queen Himiko's heart trembled even more.

I must grovel before my god!
No, I want to properly lick the boots of God's woman!

If I lick her until she's satisfied, my God will surely grant me more divine blood!

……

With ten drops of divine blood, combined with an energy block from the body of the Celestial Triumph, Queen Himiko not only regained her youth, but her strength also increased rapidly.

In just over an hour, a stunningly beautiful and imposing Sun Queen appeared behind Lara.

"great!"

Wen Ming nodded in satisfaction: "Let's see if we can bring Himiko back to your universe."

Lara waved her hand, and the Sun Queen immediately flew into her body. A golden sun mark suddenly appeared on Lara's forehead, which added a touch of mystery to her already beautiful appearance.

Laura took the elevator to the plaza of Building 3, crossed the plaza and disappeared from the spot, and Wen Ming couldn't help but show a happy smile.

Soon, Laura rushed back happily: "I can take her back."

Pandora watched with envy, wondering, "Why can't I go back?"

Wen Ming rubbed her head: "Himiko's body has been reshaped, and because of the soul contract, she became Laura's guardian queen, so she should be considered a completely new life form, which is why she was not rejected."

Pandora squinted comfortably, but still looked at Queen Himiko, who had flown out again, with a hint of envy.

I wonder if she will be enhanced.

The answer was revealed very quickly.

"Wen Ming, I've been enhanced!"

"God, I've been enhanced!"

Laura and Himiko's voices rang out simultaneously. The two hugged each other with cheers and then rushed towards Wenming together.

Wen Ming hadn't expected Himiko to be strengthened as well. Now it seemed that Himiko had completely transformed from the dignified Sun Queen into a summoned beast just like the goddess Minerva.

"From now on, you will be responsible for Laura's safety."

Wen Ming looked at Himiko and said, "If you can satisfy Laura, I will bestow upon you the blood of Hades, the god of the underworld."

Hades, the god of the underworld?

Upon hearing this name, Queen Himiko's breathing quickened.

Having absorbed the divine blood of Hera, she naturally knew that the divine blood of Hades, the god of the underworld who was even more powerful than Hera, would definitely make her stronger.

So without saying a word, she knelt down and said, "God, rest assured, anyone who dares to harm Laura will have to step over my dead body."

Laura couldn't help but give her another kiss: "Let's go to my private island. Your vacation has only just begun. If I don't let you rest soon, Malena will kill me."

……

"Boss, you promised me a vacation."

Returning to the Tomb Raider universe, Wen Ming did not go directly to Lara's private island, but headed straight for his next destination.

Marlena was reluctant, but Wen Ming rubbed her head and said, "I'll finish this soon."

"They always say it will be quick, but it always takes a long time."

Malena's face turned red with anger. Laura knelt beside her, using both hands to comfort Malena: "Now that it's confirmed that there are gods in this universe more powerful than Zeus and the others, and that the game's plot exists, Wen Ming naturally wants to get his hands on all those treasures as soon as possible."

"If you don't believe me, feel it. Wen Ming's muscles are constantly tense; he's been worried about me."

Malena touched Wen Ming's calf and immediately understood that the presence of the deity had pushed Wen Ming to his limit. This made her lower her head deeply: "Boss, I will always be with you. If you really can't control yourself, just come at me."

"Thank you!"

Wen Ming looked down at Malena and Laura and smiled happily: "I promise, it will be over soon."

Lara leaned closer: "The plot of the tenth book is very simple."

The plot of Tomb Raider 10 mainly tells the story of Lara Croft's journey to find the Prophet's tomb a year after her adventure in Yamatai, in order to fulfill her father's last wish. She eventually encounters the immortal prophet Jacob in a labor camp of the Trinity organization.

It turns out that the prophet Jacob had lived for thousands of years, and after accidentally obtaining the "divine source," he gained the ability to live forever.

He used the "Divine Source" to create the Undead Legion, but because he could not control the Legion's backlash against his people, he sealed it and the Divine Source under the ice and snow in the city of Kit. He and the villagers guarded the city from outside.

However, as the Holy Trinity organization drew ever closer, Jacob finally made up his mind to open the sealed passage to the Undead Legion, helping Lara reach Kit City faster to destroy the Holy Source.

Because Laura shattered the divine source, Jacob lost his immortality and died as a result.

Wen Ming was very interested in this "divine source" that could grant immortality, but he was only interested.

It's not rare.

Because this "divine source" has drawbacks; if the divine source is destroyed, the ability to live forever will disappear.

This is a prop setting that Western screenwriters love to use.

Just like the monsters in "The Great Wall", when the mother monster dies, all the monsters will also die.

It's hilarious.

This type of setting is ubiquitous.

In fact, in such a species, after the death of a female insect, a male insect will quickly transform into a new female insect, rather than the entire species dying out.

If everyone did this, species would have gone extinct long ago.

Therefore, Wen Ming was very curious about the principle behind this "divine source".

Most importantly, the game's storyline once hinted that this sacred source was an extraterrestrial object, but it was not specified whether it was a product of advanced alien technology.

So after returning to the Tomb Raider universe, Wen Ming couldn't wait to go to the place where the Divine Source was located—above Kit City.

This place is covered in ice and snow, untouched for hundreds of years. The undead army lies dormant here, waiting for the day when it will once again rule the world.

In the nearby village, wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys; it was clearly the village of the prophet Jacob.

"prophet……"

Laura seemed to remember something: "If we take away the Divine Source, then the Prophet will die."

"Let's conduct our research in this universe first, then we'll go straight in!"

Wen Ming nodded to Qing Hou, the sonic boom tunnel opened, and everyone came to the ice and snow together.

Inside the cathedral in Kitt, an object wrapped in yellow cloth lies quietly on the floor, untouched for centuries.

Just as Lara was about to pick up the Holy Source, a dark mass of figures suddenly surged out from the passageways around the cathedral—it was the Undead Legion.

Compared to the Storm Guardians—the pseudo-undead legion—on Yamatai Island, the undead legion here is much stronger. Their eyes glow with blue and white light, they wear medieval armor, form battle formations, and cautiously approach this side.

"Don't linger in battle; they can't get out."

Just as Wen Ming was about to tear open a spatial rift to leave, Queen Himiko suddenly flew out of Laura's body: "Boss, leave them to me."

"here you are?"

The group looked at her in confusion, only to see Queen Himiko raise her hand and the air temperature inside the cathedral suddenly drop. Instantly, the undead legion in the passageway was frozen into ice cubes.

Then, the passage was completely frozen.

"Is this a new ability you've acquired, or has an existing ability been enhanced?"

Wen Ming's eyes lit up, and Queen Himiko smiled modestly, "This is an ability I originally possessed, but seawater doesn't freeze easily, so I mostly cause storms."

"I thought you were Storm."

Wen Ming smiled slightly, then clapped his hands: "Qing Hou, start scanning the Divine Source. Marlena, go back and bring people over. 2B, you and A2 go and loot all the wealth."

Since this wasn't the first time anyone had experienced the storyline, they quickly and methodically got to work.

Bulma, Helen Zhao, and others quickly arrived. Bulma retrieved various high-tech instruments using a magic capsule, and soon, a holographic projection of the Divine Source appeared above the temporary research room.

"The energy fluctuations are very strange..."

"This seems to be some kind of soul device..."

"We've found the resonant frequency; this frequency seems to connect all the undead legions..."

With the Iron Hotel's current technological foundation, deciphering the source of the divine is not very difficult, especially since among these scientists are nine members of the Pearl Clan of the Mu Star who are proficient in mental skills.

"Boss, this is a substance that falls somewhere between a scientific product and a magical item; it's more like a highly complex bio-energy field generator."

Its energy source is a certain particle it absorbs from the universe. The specific principle behind how it keeps people immortal still needs to be tested to fully understand its working principle.

However, we discovered numerous energy clusters of different frequencies inside, which appeared to be the souls of all the Undead Legion members…

Princess Liho stood shyly in front of Wenming. She quickly introduced their preliminary research results to Wenming, and when she saw Wenming's encouraging look, Princess Liho was instantly filled with courage.

"Based on the above data, we preliminarily infer that its mechanism of action is to collect souls, use the souls as a bridge to endow living beings with powerful bio-energy, and achieve the result of immortality."

As for why all the undead legions died after the Divine Source was shattered, we speculate that it was because after the Divine Source was shattered, the soul energy dissipated and could not return to their bodies. Without the supply of biological energy, their bodies could no longer sustain themselves, so they died at the same time.

The reason why the villainous boss Anna did not die on the spot after the Holy Source was destroyed, despite absorbing its energy, remains to be seen.

However, we speculate that it is highly likely that her own bioenergy had not been exhausted, even though she had cancer, and that her soul was able to return to her body because she had just established a soul connection with the divine source.

Based on the above speculation, this sacred source has two extremes in terms of both strengths and weaknesses; please use it with caution, boss.

After listening to Li Huo's report, Wen Ming didn't say anything directly, but instead waved to her.

Li Huo glanced shyly at Malena, who was peeling grapes for Wen Ming.

Malena smiled slightly: "Come on, don't treat me like an outsider."

Princess Li Huo then happily sat down next to Wen Ming.

The starry sky on her forehead had now turned pink.

Wen Ming took Princess Li Huo's small hand, and the pink starry sky turned red: "How have you been lately?"

"We've made rapid progress; everyone is willing to teach us without reservation."

Princess Liho tried hard not to distract herself, but the warmth from those large hands was spreading from the small hands all over her body, and soon she felt a little dizzy.

"How about in terms of daily life? Are you used to it?"

"It's very comfortable. Thank you, boss, for preparing the beach suite for us."

Princess Liho thought of her beach suite and felt that the starry sky on her forehead must have turned deep red.

While other hotel staff had holographic simulations of their suites, the suites for myself and the other eight princesses featured real sand and coconut trees that the owner had brought from Paradise Island, and the suites also simulated the sunlight, temperature, and humidity of Planet Mu.

The owner even placed a pearl from the planet Mu in his suite.

Many times, Liho felt like she was still living on Mu.

This home-like feeling is something that other hotel employees can't enjoy.

"I'm relieved that you're comfortable here."

Wen Ming smiled slightly: "If you need anything in the future, just come and find me."

"thank you boss."

Princess Liho nodded happily and was about to leave when she saw Malena peel two more grapes and put them into Wenming's mouth.

This time, she was completely stunned.

No, you did it right in front of me?
The next second, she felt a hand pulling her, and the starry sky on her forehead quickly changed into the most beautiful rose red.

Without hesitating for less than half a second, Princess Liho lowered her starry sky and began to transform it into a rainbow of colors.

Wen Ming was amazed and couldn't help but sit up straight: "I feel that your body is even more wondrous than the Divine Source."

"There's something even more amazing."

Princess Li Huo tilted her head back, allowing Wen Ming to see the colorful starry sky on her forehead: "Boss, the nine of us can resonate with each other."

"Oh? Quick, quick, call all eight of them over here too, I want to study them carefully!"

……

Inside the laboratory, Bulma and the others were still engrossed in studying the Divine Source, completely unaware that Princess Riho had been gone for several hours.

For scientists, studying a single piece of data can often take several hours, so time is something they tend to overlook.

After studying a set of data, the red-haired Shana suddenly said, "If we send a set of waves of a specific frequency to the Divine Source, can we control the Undead Legion?"

Bulma and Melina's eyes lit up: "Great idea!"

……

P.S.: Please vote for me!
We'll continue the lucky draw this month.
