American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Chapter 118 Reanimation Jutsu

Wenwu had never seen a Cosmic Cube before and didn't know what it was. He frowned and asked, "What is this?"

"This is the Cosmic Cube!"

"It can open a portal to any place in the universe."

"The portal that allowed the aliens to invade New York, and the portal that brought me from New York, were both created by it."

Roy gave a brief introduction to the Cosmic Cube.

After hearing his explanation, Wenwu immediately had a thought: to steal the Cosmic Cube and then use it to create a portal to the Tarot.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Although he had never fought Roy before, he was very familiar with Roy and knew that Roy's strength was definitely no less than his own.

Even with a perfect score, he wasn't guaranteed to win.

The ten-ring is indeed a very powerful weapon.

But having ten rings doesn't mean you're invincible.

His first encounter with his wife, Yingli, is a good example.

More than ten years ago, he successfully found the bamboo forest where the Tarot entrance was located and met Yingli, who was then the Tarot Guardian, dressed in green, wearing a straw hat and mask.

Wenwu tried to force Yingli to reveal the entrance to the Tarot, thus gaining access to the Tarot.

Yingli, of course, wouldn't tell him.

Without any suspense, they started fighting.

At first, Wenwu and Yingli were evenly matched.

Yingli voluntarily threw away her straw hat and mask, allowing Wenwu to see her face.

Immediately afterwards, Yingli, now serious, began to use the "qi" bestowed upon her by the dragon, employing a Tai Chi-like approach of using softness to overcome hardness, defeating Wenwu and giving Wenwu his first defeat in life.

Although Wenwu lost to Yingli in one battle, he won another.

Yingli fell in love with him at first sight.

In order to be with him, Yingli resigned as the Tarot Guardian, returned the "Qi" bestowed upon her by the dragon, left the Tarot, married Wenwu, and gave birth to Shangqi and Xialing.

After getting married, Wenwu gave up his idea of ​​conquering the Tarot because of Yingli. He took off the ten rings, disbanded the previous ten-ring army, and lived a peaceful life with his wife and children.

However, the good times did not last long.

Wenwu chose to retire from the martial arts world, but his enemies did not give up their revenge.

When his enemies came knocking, he happened to be out buying necessities.

To protect Shangqi and Xialing, Yingli had to deal with the enemies who came to her door all by herself.

Without the "qi" bestowed by the dragon, Yingli's strength was far inferior to before, and she perished together with her enemies who came seeking revenge.

On the night Yingli was killed, Wenwu put on his ring again and began training Shangqi.

After thinking for a moment, Wenwu stared at Roy and asked, "What do you want?"

"Your ten rings!" Roy replied.

A flash of anger crossed Wenwu's face as he coldly said, "I can find the entrance to the Tarot even without your help!"

"Yes, you can find it, but it will take you a long time," Roy said slowly.

"It seems you don't understand the power of a tenth ring. I have plenty of time," Wenwu said dismissively.

Roy shook his head and continued, "No, I know very well what abilities the tenth ring possesses."

"I know that you will live forever after wearing the ten rings, but the ten rings cannot immediately fulfill your wish and let you enter the Tarot."

"I also know that you took the tenth ring back then, which led to your enemies coming after you, resulting in Yingli dying in battle to protect Shangqi and Xialing."

Upon hearing him mention Yingli's name, Wenwu's expression immediately turned gloomy.

"Since you know that, what makes you think I'd trade a ten-ring to you?"

If Wenwu weren't unsure of his ability to defeat Roy, he would have already made his move and shown Roy his fury.

Under Wenwu's angry glare, Roy calmly said, "Because you are a smart person."

"It's not that I'm arrogant, but even if I sit here and don't move, and you attack me, you can't hurt me."

"And I only need to make a slight move to take your life."

"Although the final result is not much different, both are losing the rings, one can get you into Tarot, while the other will leave you with nothing."

"With your intelligence, you probably wouldn't choose the second one."

Although Wenwu wasn't exactly a good person, Roy's impression of him wasn't too bad.

Compared to Wenwu, he disliked Shangqi even more after he grew up.

He could understand Shang-Chi running away from home.

After all, not everyone is willing to be a ruthless killer.

But Shang-Chi's choices after running away from home were something he couldn't understand.

Wenwu fell silent.

After a dozen seconds, he said, "If you can really let me see Yingli, I can give you the tenth ring."

"No, I can't let you see Yingli. I can only take you into the Tarot," Roy replied.

Wenwu was bewitched by the Soul Eater and thought that Yingli was still alive, but was just imprisoned by Tarot. He was not bewitched by the Soul Eater.

While there are ways to resurrect the dead in the Marvel Universe, without exception, all of these methods are extremely difficult.

The ten-ring is indeed a fine collectible, but not so precious that it warranted his great effort to revive Yingli.

Yingli was Wenwu's wife, not his wife.

Wenwu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Even you can't handle the Tarot people?"

"Of course I can deal with the people in Tarot, but I can only promise to send you into Tarot," Roy replied.

Now is not the right time to explain the truth to Wenwu.

Before breaking the dark gate that sealed the Soul Eater, no matter what he said, Wenwu would not accept the fact that Yingli was completely dead.

Since that's the case, there's no need to waste words.

Wenwu stared at Roy, his mind racing.

He made his decision after only a few seconds of thought.

"Once I've done what I want, the ten rings will be yours."

As soon as Wenwu finished speaking, a new request appeared in Roy's field of vision.

[Commission: Help Wenwu enter the Tarot]

[Status: Incomplete]

[Reward for the Commission: Impure World Reincarnation]

this----

Looking at the commission information in front of him, Roy's face flashed with surprise.

It's normal that Wenwu's request passed the system's assessment.

But he didn't expect that the reward given by the system would be Edo Tensei (a form of reanimation).

Was it because Wenwu wanted to see Yingli "alive"?

This guess unconsciously flashed through Roy's mind.

Although he didn't know if his guess was right, he quickly made a decision.

If Wenwu doesn't actively seek death after seeing the Soul-Eating Monster, then help him revive Yingli!

With the Impure World Reincarnation technique, reviving Eri would not be difficult for him.

After closing the information panel, Roy said to Wenwu, "Okay!"

Wenwu didn't say anything more, and raised his right hand.

Upon seeing his gesture, Razor Fist and Death Trader, who were standing at the living room door, quickly came to him.

"Assemble the army, attack Tarot, and rescue my wife."

"Yes, sir!"

Razor Fist and Death Trader replied simultaneously.

A few minutes later.

The wide plaza outside was filled with fully armed soldiers of the Ten Rings Legion.

Although it is now the 21st century, the soldiers of the Ten Rings Legion still use cold weapons.

Or, to put it another way, using cold weapons that have been improved and optimized by high technology.

In this respect, Wenwu's Ten Rings Legion is similar to the Wakanda army.

The only difference is that the Ten Rings Legion uses both cold weapons and firearms, while the Wakanda army exclusively favors close-quarters combat.

Furthermore, although the Ten Rings Legion is called a legion, it is actually more like an assassin group.

When the Ten Rings Legion assembled, Wenwu, who was originally wearing a suit, also put on a combat uniform with a strong ancient style.

Wenwu stood on the stairs in front of the square, glanced at the Ten Rings Legion in front of him, and said to Roy, "Open the portal."

Roy didn't say anything, picked up the Cosmic Cube, and created a portal to the entrance of the Tarot.

In just two or three seconds, the portal to the Tarot entrance was formed.
