A cry for help?

The crowd was somewhat taken aback. The Ancient One stepped forward, took the skull-shaped goblet from Wen Ming's hand, listened intently, and after a moment, shook her head and said, "I didn't hear anything."

The Wonder Woman sisters came over, tried it, and shook their heads, saying, "We didn't hear anything either."

Marvel Wanda asked doubtfully, "Dad definitely didn't mishear, is there something wrong with your ears?"

Wonder Woman laughed in exasperation: "How could our ears have a problem? Our super hearing may not be as good as Superman's or Supergirl's, but it's not much worse."

The Ancient One wasn't angry; instead, she looked at Wen Ming thoughtfully and asked, "Is it because of your identity?"

"My identity?"

After careful consideration, Wen Ming concluded that it was either due to the metaverse or because he had absorbed the divine essence of Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, and Hera.

Could I really be considered a god in this universe?
But now is not the time to think about that.

"I decided to rescue her."

Everyone immediately frowned. Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, looked at Wen Ming with concern: "We still don't know the other party's identity, nor do we know if their location is dangerous..."

"She said her name was Hecate!"

Wen Ming's words startled everyone in the DC audience: "Who are you talking about?"

"Hercate!"

Wen Ming looked at Qing Hou beside him, and Qing Hou immediately projected the other party's information: "After the Flashpoint event in DC Comics, at the dawn of time, magic surrounds the forming multiverse."

Magic shaped her, a girl, and her plane became the realm of the gods.

Humans named the girl 'Hecate'. Because humans followed Hecate to learn magic, it triggered an evolution, giving birth to the gods and the Pantheon. The realm of the gods was divided into several smaller areas inhabited by the gods.

Different pantheons tried to win Hecate's favor, all believing that Hecate was the true creator of the universe.

Ultimately, Hecate chose the Pantheon where Zeus resided and agreed to marry Zeus's brother, Hades, the god of the underworld. However, Hades broke off the engagement because he fell in love with Persephone.

Humans wanted to steal Hecate's power, so they used a ritual to summon Hecate and imprison her.

Hecate, imprisoned for many years, appealed to the Pantheon countless times, but never received a response.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood that the cry for help coming from the skull goblet was from Hecate, who was imprisoned.

"In the comic book universe, Hecate, having nowhere to turn for help and upon learning that Hades had broken off the engagement, let out a scream that shook the entire reality. Hecate's rage burned a hole in reality, introducing the power of dark magic into the multiverse."

Hecate became a purely evil Kron, wanting all life to feel the pain she had suffered…

Queen Qing revealed Hecate's ultimate fate, and Wonder Woman realized what was happening: "After that, one of my destined enemies, Cersei, along with me and three other girls, became the five vessels for Hecate's hidden power—if anyone betrays Hecate again, she will activate the witch's mark on the five of us, stripping all the gods of their divine authority and destroying all the gods."

"That's right, so what the boss is hearing now is Hecate's cries for help. It should be Hecate asking her fiancé Hades for help, but I don't know how many times she has asked for help."

Qinghou's super brain worked quickly, and then she said, "If you had rescued her when she first asked for help, you would likely have been hated by her—because you killed her fiancé."

If she has already cried for help many times, then she will face the greatest danger: what if she uses her rage to burn through reality, introducing the power of dark magic into the DC multiverse, and thus confronting Hecate's counterpart in the Dark Multiverse—the Inverted Man?

Upon hearing the names of the Upside-Downs, whether it was the three goddesses of agriculture, the Hippolyta sisters, or the Wonder Woman sisters, they all frowned.

Wen Ming thought for a moment and said, "Then I should save her even more. If we get there too late, those rulers of the Dark Multiverse, Barbatos, might enter this universe."

At this point, Wen Ming paused, "I don't want Paradise Island and the Underworld to suffer such a threat."

The faces of Queen Hippolyta and her sisters, Wonder Woman and her sisters, Hades and the others were all filled with emotion. Before they could say anything, Wen Ming had already clasped his arms together, and a spatial rift was opened.

"help me……"

As the spatial rift opened, a cry for help suddenly resounded above Hades' Temple.

Looking through the spatial rift, everyone saw a small altar on the other side.

Red incantations were inscribed around the altar. In the center of the altar was a circle emitting white light, and on the circle sat a woman wearing a purple one-shoulder dress.

The woman was extremely beautiful, ranking among the top three even in the Iron Hotel, where beauties were plentiful. She had an inverted moon mark on her forehead, but her face showed pain and sorrow.

"Hercate?"

Wen Ming gazed at the altar opposite him, not daring to step in rashly. Hecate was somewhat taken aback when she heard her name; she thought she was hallucinating. She slowly raised her head, glanced around, and when she saw the spatial rift, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Hades, did you come to save me? Did you finally answer my call?"

"I am not Hades, but I can save you."

The moment Wen Ming saw the other person's face, he knew that the other person was the famous Hecate.

Hecate was overjoyed upon hearing this, and without caring whether the other person was Hades or not, she said, "Thank you, I will definitely repay you."

"Are you able to move now?"

Wen Ming cautiously glanced around. The Ancient One looked at the incantation on the ground and frowned: "This incantation is extremely vicious."

"This is not a spell, this is the power of magic's very essence!"

Hecate shook his head and said, "They summoned me using the magic circle I used to visit the Crossroads of Reality, then stole a sliver of my magical power to obtain the power of the origin of magic, and finally restricted this power to my body. I can't move at all now."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ming understood.

The biggest setting of DC is that you can't take back the power you give away.

"It's a bit troublesome."

Wen Ming frowned: "Is this primal power only targeting you, or everyone else?"

Hecate said bitterly, "It's aimed at me, and at everyone who wants to save me."

The Ancient One nodded and said, "This spell means that anyone who saves Hecate will be killed by the backlash of their own magical power."

“How vicious!”

Marvel's Wanda and the Supergirls all frowned, but Wen Ming asked with a strange expression, "Is it that anyone without magical powers can save you?"

Hecate paused, about to say something, but her eyes passed over Wen Ming and looked at a figure behind him: "You, who are you?"

Wen Ming was stunned for a moment, then followed Hecate's gaze and looked back, only to find that the person she was looking at was none other than Hecate.

Hecate was also somewhat puzzled: "I am Hecate."

Hecate exclaimed with immense joy, "You are my future self!"

"Walter?"

Everyone was stunned. Qinghou reacted the fastest: "After Hecate turned evil, she became a complete goddess of the three, that is, a three-headed, three-bodied goddess of the three phases."

Hecate, like Hecate, is a goddess of magic. Hecate, like Hecate, only appears when summoned at the Crossroads. In addition, Hecate and Hecate share the same name…

As everyone gradually understood what was going on, Hecate looked at Hecate excitedly and said, "If you use magic to save me, I can escape from here."

"Really? I'll give it a try."

Hecate stepped forward, about to cast a spell, but Wenming grabbed her hand: "Hecate, will Hecate die if she uses magic?"

Hecate was startled, only then remembering the spell.

"Yes, but she is my future self. As long as I come out, she will reappear in the future. She and I are one person."

Hecate was beaming with excitement, but Wen Ming's expression was quite grim: "Hecate will still die now?"

"Uh……"

Hecate understood Wen Ming's meaning this time, and she looked at him blankly: "Future body, who is he?"

"He is my husband!"

Hecate leaned on Wenming's shoulder, and all three faces said at the same time, "Our dearest one."

Hecate stared blankly at the four of them, and after a long silence, said, "Congratulations, my future self, you have found true love. He truly loves you and protects you. I don't need you to save me anymore."

Hecate shuddered, sensing the sorrow and pain in Hecate's heart. She looked at Wenming pleadingly, "Let me save her. I'll be back in the near future anyway."

"No, the you that reappears will not be the same as you are now."

Wen Ming shook his head firmly, then looked at Hecate: "You don't need to suffer there anymore, I have someone else to save you."

"Other candidates?"

Hecate was taken aback: "In this universe, there are people who don't know magic?"

Wen Ming smiled and nodded, saying, "It exists not only in this universe, but also in other universes, and there are many of them."

……

"You called us here in such a hurry just to save her?"

5 minute later.

Two people appeared beside Wen Ming.

Iron Man and Batman stared at the person opposite them, their expressions somewhat strange: "Is she your new lover?"

Batman recognized the other person at a glance: "I didn't expect Hecate to not have turned evil yet. I thought this part of history had already happened in the comics."

"So we need your help to save it."

Wen Ming looked at the two men cursed by magic: "She must be saved by someone who doesn't know magic, otherwise she will be killed by the backlash of her own magic. Tell me the truth, which one of you doesn't know magic?"

Iron Man and Batman exchanged a strange look.

Tony coughed lightly: "You definitely don't know magic, right?"

Bruce countered, "You certainly don't know magic, right?"

The two of them fell silent at the same time.

Upon seeing this, the three Hela sisters immediately understood: "I thought they were so smart, but they're just two idiots."

Who are you calling an idiot?

Tony snapped, "Isn't it good that I can use magic?"

The Wanda sisters immediately started yelling: "You, Tony, you've already learned magic, and you've been pretending you don't!"

Tony unconsciously touched his nose: "I just wanted to play it safe, who knew this stinky bat would copy me."

Bruce narrowed his eyes slightly: "As everyone knows, I always have a Plan B."

The Super Girl sisters were immediately displeased: "You're still hiding this from us? Have we always told you we have magic? It's so tiring being friends with you guys."

The Wanda sisters also mocked, "It's not sincere at all."

Bruce blushed. It wasn't so bad to be talked about by others, but being looked at with disdain by the Supergirl sisters and the Wanda sisters made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Natasha and Harley laughed heartily: "What's that old saying in the Great Qian Kingdom? Where there's a Crouching Dragon, there's bound to be a Young Phoenix!"
"You two actually thought you could hide this from the boss? What could possibly be hidden from the boss at the Iron Hotel?"

Tony scoffed, "Isn't this the hotel's style? Who knows how much magic Wen Ming knows now? He's already mastered the Flying Technique; I suspect he can unleash shockwaves at will!"

"I do have shockwaves."

"Walter?"

Tony was completely dumbfounded: "You really can?"

"Of course... I was just kidding you. Shockwaves require learning ki, and I've never practiced it."

Tony's eyes flashed with distrust, and Bruce also expressed his disbelief.

Wen Ming shook his head helplessly, then looked at Hecate on the other side of the spatial rift. Hecate's face was originally full of hope, but now that she heard that the person Wen Ming had found could use magic, her eyes were clouded with gloom.

"Don't worry, as I said, there are many people who don't know magic."

With that, Wen Ming snapped his fingers, and Red Spider appeared beside him: "Boss, is it finally my turn to make my appearance?"

"Go, completely destroy the altar on the other side."

Wen Ming pointed to the runes around the altar: "Use your highest frequency neon rays, and be fast. You take the tape unit with you and go help with the sound waves."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency!"

Red Spider laughed heartily, transformed into an F-22 Raptor fighter jet, and plunged into the spatial rift: "Finally, it's my turn to shine!"

The altar that seals Hecate contains the power of magic, but those who like to use magic, especially those who are old-fashioned and conservative, always have a limited understanding of the power of technology.

They stubbornly believe that magic is the most powerful force in the world, and that technology is heresy, a view that is especially evident in the realm of the gods.

Starscream's neon ray is actually his weakest yet most prized weapon. It can paralyze a target by interrupting circuits or damaging the nervous system, but its core function is paralysis rather than lethality.

Runes are actually a kind of energy pathway, only the form of energy is different from electricity.

On many occasions, Megatron required him to use neon rays to control circuits and create energy cubes.

However, the current Starscream is different from the Starscream in the original storyline.

He has been enhanced.

It has been enhanced more than once.

So how strong are the neon rays of the red spider now?
"Zi-"

A beam of neon light emanating red suddenly shot out towards the runes surrounding the altar. In just a few dozen seconds, one of the runes had a stroke damaged.

The moment the tear appeared, Hecate jumped to her feet, staring at her hands in disbelief: "My power is back!"

"Aren't you coming over here right now?" Wen Ming shouted. Hecate snapped out of his daze, strode forward, and appeared directly in the Underworld.

"Haha, mission accomplished!"

Red Spider retracted his helium-neon ray and was about to return to the Underworld when a furious roar echoed from the depths of the hall where the altar was located: "How dare you destroy the altar! Do you know who you released?"

Just as Red Spider was about to turn around for a look, Wen Ming grabbed him with his large hand, and Red Spider's body immediately and uncontrollably entered the spatial rift. The sound wave and tape unit also rushed back immediately.

The next second, the spatial rift closed.

"Pretty!"

The Wanda Sisters and the Supergirl Sisters cheered in unison, while 838 Thor frowned: "I still want to see how amazing the people over there are."

Thor immediately patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, why are you still so clumsy? Mom has reminded you more than once that you must learn Wenming's way of doing things."

Regardless of who the other party is, we should not launch an attack rashly before we are fully prepared.

838 Thor twirled the Meow Hammer in his hand: "I feel a bit stifled."

"I can't do without you when it comes to fighting!"

Thor patted him on the shoulder, then looked at Hecate, who had just escaped the seal.

Hecate was filled with lingering fear: "Those people were so evil; they actually dared to try and take away all my power."

"Don't worry, now that you're here, you're one of the boss's people."

Harley walked over with a grin and hugged her: "As long as you're protected by the boss, no one can hurt you anymore."

"Thank you!"

Hecate then came to her senses and bowed politely to Wenming in thanks. Wenming smiled and said, "I did this for Hecate's sake."

Hecate leaned happily on Wenming's shoulder, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes: "I want to know, where is Hades? Isn't this the underworld? How come you're holding Hades' goblet and sitting on his throne?"

"It's a long story, why don't you let Hecate tell you?"

Wen Ming patted Hecate on the shoulder, and Hecate happily got up and walked to Hecate's side: "Let's go, we... um... how could we..."

The moment Hecate and Hecate's hands touched, a white light and a black light suddenly intertwined, and their figures were directly swallowed up by the black and white light.

"elder sister!"

Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, nervously reached out to grab Hecate, and Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, also eagerly tried to grab her daughter. Wenming quickly reached out and grabbed the two of them: "Don't rush, it's just the past and future selves meeting. This is a normal phenomenon. Their powers, knowledge, and memories will merge."

The Hela sisters, unusually, offered words of comfort: "Don't worry, we've been through this twice before."

The mother and daughter were somewhat relieved upon hearing this.

The black and white lights intertwined rapidly, but it seemed as if a force was hindering them, preventing them from merging.

Wen Ming frowned upon seeing this.

Just as he was about to do something, he saw a dark power quietly emerging between the black and white rays of light.

"This is……"

Wen Ming reacted instinctively, flicking out an inextinguishable flame. The dark power screamed the moment it encountered the inextinguishable flame.

"They're upside-down people!"

The usually composed Bruce was the first to recognize the source of the dark power.

Upon seeing this, the Ancient One was about to step in to help, but Wen Ming had already reached out his hand directly to the two who were merging.

The Inverted Man is the counterpart of Hecate in the Dark Multiverse.

He and Hecate, one being equivalent to antimatter and the other to matter, are natural enemies.

Hecate discovered the existence of the Dark Multiverse and the Upside-Downs at the moment of her birth. She immediately built a barrier to separate the Multiverse from the Dark Multiverse, as she did not want the beautiful Multiverse to be tainted by darkness and fear.

In the original storyline of the comics, Hecate, due to her corruption, opened the barrier, allowing dark magic to enter reality. This also granted the person who sealed her dark magic power, enabling them to become the Lord of Order.

Hecate then became the embodiment of hatred, no longer trusting anyone. She divided her power into five parts, hiding them in five young women: Wonder Woman, Manitu Dawn, Witchfire, Black Orchid, and Cersei.

However, because of this wrong decision, Hecate was ultimately devoured by the Upside-Down Man due to her lack of power when facing him.

The Upside-Down Man was also banished back to his original universe by Wonder Woman.

Hecate said that Hecate is her future self, which also means that Hecate is the corrupted Hecate in the future. She opened the barrier in the future, allowing the inverted to enter the multiverse.

Wen Ming was confused as to why Hecate, the future version of Hecate, had already appeared when this plot hadn't even happened yet. He suspected that Hecate had mistaken someone else for someone else.

However, the current process of the two of them attracting each other's power is very similar to the scene when Hela from Universe 838 met Hela from the main universe, which makes him a little unsure of what is going on.

However, the universe they are in now is a very special spacetime, where all time is different from that of the DC main universe. Perhaps Hecate has confused the current Hecate with the Hecate of the DC main universe.

If it's identified as Hecate from the DC universe, then everything makes sense.

It's like Diana and Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is Diana's future self. Everything Wonder Woman experiences must be something Diana is experiencing in the present for her to experience.

It was precisely for this reason that Wen Ming unleashed his strongest flame without hesitation.

Even if the other party is the source of dark magic in the dark multiverse!
"boom--"

The golden, indestructible flames suddenly ignited, and the dark power, like a drop of water falling into a boiling pot, rapidly simmered.

"I'm going to devour you, Hecate!"

The wails of the upside-down people echoed throughout the entire Temple of Hades.

Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, and Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, changed their expressions. They disregarded everything else and simultaneously reached out their hands, wanting to transfer their divine power to Hecate, but Wenming grabbed their hands.

Give me your divine power!

The mother and daughter immediately obeyed and poured all their divine power into Wen Ming's body. The Undying Flame in Wen Ming's hand immediately shone brighter, and the wailing of the madman became even more tragic.

"It seems you are unwilling to leave."

Wen Ming turned to look at the Ancient One and the three Hela sisters: "Since he won't leave, then swallow him."

The three Hela sisters giggled and said, "I love how much you spoil me, my husband."

The Ancient One raised her hand and flung out countless golden threads, which were about to entangle the opponent when the black power vanished instantly, and the mournful wail stopped abruptly at the same time, as if nothing had ever happened.

The Hela sisters reluctantly withdrew their hands: "They ran so fast!"

The black and white forces, now unobstructed, quickly merged into one, but like the yin and yang of the world, they still could not fully integrate.

The Undying Flame in Wen Ming's hand suddenly increased its power, and the next second...

Wenming, Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, and Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, were suddenly drawn into the black and white power by a powerful suction force.

"boss!"

Natasha and the others exclaimed in surprise, but Qinghou waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, this is very similar to what happened to Misaka Mikoto or Minerva. It should be a good thing."

"Good thing?"

Tony and Bruce's eyes flashed simultaneously.

Has Wen Ming gotten stronger again?
That's the goddess of magic.

The supreme magical being in the DC Universe.

The source of magic.

The embodiment of magic!

If Wen Ming possessed Hecate's power, wouldn't he grow into a powerful being on the multiverse level?
Most importantly, will this bastard also get involved with Hecate because of Hecate?
Tony was highly skeptical of the possibility of this happening.

The current situation, in particular, gave him a bad feeling.

Fake!

I've been completely outshone again!

"Please go back to the hotel first."

Having had several experiences before, Qinghou roughly guessed what the scene would be like, so she politely asked everyone to leave—especially the men.

Tony and Bruce nodded and were about to leave when Qinghou reminded them, "Could you two please register with Hill? That way, when Hill assigns missions next time, he can allocate resources based on your strengths."

Also, have your battle armor been upgraded to magical battle armor? Do you need to purchase any hotel-related products? This service can be customized.

Hearing Qinghou's sales pitch, Tony and Bruce held back for a while, but finally couldn't help but say, "I'll design it myself."

The Queen of the Blues didn't seem to care at all: "The hotel's magic system was designed by Scarlett after consulting with magic masters, witches, and goddesses such as the Ancient One, Frigga, and Hecate. Are you sure your magic system is stronger than theirs?"

The two exchanged a glance and immediately gave in: "Buy!"

The Queen immediately smiled: "Scarlett has been waiting for you all along."

"Were you waiting for us all along?"

Tony and Bruce exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning: "Wen Ming already knew we could use magic?"

"You guys are so stupid!"

This time, it wasn't the Hela sisters mocking the two, but Harley who was laughing at them: "The power detector can scan all energy. You think you've hidden your magical power well?"

"Wow? How come I don't know?"

Tony and Bruce had "awkward" written all over their faces. They thought they had hidden it well, but it turned out everyone already knew.
The Queen covered her mouth and chuckled: "You two upgraded your own combat power detectors, while everyone else's were custom-made by the hotel. The magic power detection function has been online for a long time, didn't you know?"

Tony and Bruce coughed awkwardly, unable to stay still any longer, and vanished from the spot: "Let's go find Scarlett!"

"Hahaha--"

Natasha and the others burst into laughter inside Hades's Palace. The Thor brothers also laughed and left, saying, "So they're not that smart after all. I thought I was the only one who was stupid."

The Ancient One smiled and left, saying, "Call me if you need anything."

After most people had left, Natasha and Harley looked at Qinghou with strange expressions: "Wait a minute, will this family of four be accompanied by holy light...?"

"I don't know either, but I wouldn't recommend you stay."

Qinghou blinked: "I don't plan to stay either, but I'll prepare a few outfits for the boss here."

"No wonder you're the boss's favorite."

Natasha smiled smugly and said, "It seems that the status of our family of six is ​​still unmatched for the time being."

Harley glanced at her: "Your family of six can't compare to their family of four. Besides, Diana and Wonder Woman are also part of their family. If you add the Queen and her sister, then it's at least a family of 11."

As Harley was saying this, she suddenly thought of something: "There are still many relatives of Diana and Persephone on Mount Olympus. Should we join forces with the boss to conquer Mount Olympus? Anyway, there aren't many decent gods left on Mount Olympus now."

Natasha pursed her lips, realizing she really couldn't compete with these gods; it was all Zeus's fault for his reckless behavior.

Well, this is perfect for my man: "I also think we can take down Mount Olympus."

"The boss isn't the kind of person who likes to plunder."

Qinghou shook her head and said, "Unless someone actively infringes on him, or places he cares about like Paradise Island or the Underworld."

"Actively invade? I believe those gods would definitely not sit idly by; Mount Olympus will surely become the boss's new backyard!"

Harley was smiling and preparing to go back when she suddenly looked up at the lifeless star: "This place will be the boss's new blessed land in the future, and also the foundation for the family of four that the boss cares about. Even if they only stay here for four months a year, isn't it a bit lifeless?"

Natasha looked up and agreed, "No wonder the Queen of the Underworld is always so melancholy; there's not a single vibrant color here."

Qinghou didn't pay much attention at first, but her super brain unconsciously calculated a certain possibility, and then she became excited: "Wait, I need to scan the creatures here."

Harley and Natasha looked at the Blue Queen with some confusion. The Blue Queen did not explain, but flew out of Hades's Palace quickly. After more than ten minutes, she rushed in with an excited look on her face. "I scanned the bodies of the dead, monsters and demons here, and conducted experiments."

"Then?"

Harley and Natasha awaited the Queen's next words.

"They are not afraid of sunlight!"

Qinghou laughed happily, "The creatures here are not like those described in the books, afraid of sunlight."

Harley and Natasha didn't react at first, but then their hearts started pounding and a possibility crossed their minds: "Do we need Carol?"

"Of course!"

A voice suddenly rang out behind the three of them. The Queen, Harley, and Natasha immediately turned around excitedly, only to be blinded by the enormous holy light.

"Boss, isn't it exciting?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Wen Ming walked over, and Harley happily jumped into his arms: "Boss, pick me!"

Wen Ming was speechless. He turned to look at Qing Hou.

"Go and get Carol back here for me. I'm about to do something big!"
