This is the legendary divine power! It's a form of suppression based on hierarchy!
Although Eric Hassen was dumbfounded, Christine was not stunned. She had reached the most crucial moment. Powerful solar energy gathered between Christine's hands, and as Christine slowly pointed downwards, the scorching and bright power burst forth, illuminating the entire island.
Faced with such overwhelming power, especially with their attributes completely countering each other, the hellish creatures didn't even have time to utter a wail before being disintegrated by the intense sunlight. As for Eric, he desperately erected a magical shield, stared at Christine with resentful eyes, struggled to take out an eyeball, crushed it with a "plop," and then disappeared, leaving behind a catchphrase from Grey Wolf.
The moment Eric Hassen left, Christine collapsed to her knees, her body limp and her eyes filled with solemnity. She whispered, "That feeling just now, there's no mistake, it must have been some powerful being from Hell who made the move. Otherwise, that guy wouldn't have had time to erect a magic shield. Adam's worries have come true."
Because she didn't know why that powerful being had rescued Eric Hasson and hadn't attacked her, Christine's mood suddenly became heavy. After resting for a while, she used her remaining energy to teleport back to her bedroom at home, but she didn't find Adam there. This puzzled Christine, because she knew that Adam wouldn't be out doing anything else if she hadn't returned. This wasn't confidence in her own charm, but simply her understanding of Adam.
Just then, Athena appeared before Christine and said, "Miss Christine, you're back?"
Christine nodded and asked, "Yes, I'm back. By the way, where's Adam? Where did he go?"
Athena explained, "Originally, because I couldn't locate Christine, I went home and waited for news with her. But just half an hour ago, there was an attack on the hotel by a group of terrorists, so I went to provide support."
Christine was immediately startled upon hearing this and asked, "Terrorists? Since Adam hasn't been dealt with yet after so long, then the other party must not be an ordinary terrorist, right?"
Athena nodded and said, "That's right. My master and I also thought that the other party was just an ordinary terrorist. Originally, my master didn't want to take action, but considering that everyone there was a heir to a major American power, if something really went wrong, it would definitely cause a war. So my master told me to continue waiting for your news and then went out. Unfortunately, I can't confirm my master's news now because the electromagnetic field is blocked again. Hmph. It seems I have to upgrade my communication methods, otherwise I'll really be of no use to my master if things continue like this."
Christine asked, "So you've lost contact with Adam? I have to go check on him!" She then prepared to go and help Adam.
Athena stopped him after reading it, saying, "Your physical condition isn't much better, so don't go and cause trouble. I believe that although Master may have encountered some trouble, he will eventually return victorious!"
Christine hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then agreed not to go looking for Adam. After all, after the battle just now, she only had a trace of the divine power she had managed to gather. This was all caused by that mysterious being. If he hadn't intervened in the battle between Christine and Eric, Christine wouldn't have been affected by the opponent's powerful strength and had to release all her divine power to defend against the possible attack. However, that being did not attack Christine, but only took Eric away.
Even so, it completely depleted the divine power that Christine had spent a lot of time gathering, leaving only the most crucial core divine power. If Christine wanted to recover, she would have to wait another six months. After all, divine power cannot be cultivated; it can only grow slowly over time. It is completely different from magic power, which is why divine power is so powerful.
Seeing that Christine had heeded her advice and wasn't causing Adam any trouble, Athena smiled and said, "Well, Christine, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor! Please do me a favor!"
Christine asked in confusion, "Oh? Is there anything I can do to help you, Athena? If it's something I can do, I won't refuse you."
Athena replied earnestly, "That's right, we need your help with this! It's crucial to whether I can continue to help Adam in the future!"
Christine's interest was piqued, and she asked, "Oh? What is it? I'll definitely help if I can, because it's all for Adam!"
Athena nodded and said, "You can definitely help! I want to learn magic!"
Athena made a startling statement, saying something that shocked Christine. She asked incredulously, "Athena, what are you saying? You want to learn magic?"
Athena nodded and said, "That's right, I do want to learn magic. To be precise, I want to improve my abilities by analyzing magic. I can sense that your magic can affect me!"
Christine was already somewhat numb and asked, "Feeling? Learning magic? Do you think you can learn it? Of course, it's not that I look down on you, but magic and science are completely two different worlds."
Athena said calmly, "To call it a feeling is actually the result of continuous calculations. As for magic and science, they are two different worlds. To me, magic is just a rather mysterious energy technology and rune technology!"
After hearing this, Christine realized that Athena wasn't joking and was genuinely preparing to study magic, so she asked, "What kind of knowledge do you need?"
Athena smiled and said, "All the magical knowledge you have learned, and of course, books about the origins and analysis of magic, would be even better. I can analyze them. I know it's a very difficult thing, but if I don't do it, I might fall behind you!"
Hearing Athena's words, Christine knew that Adam was everything to Athena. Although Adam would not really eliminate Athena, because Athena had her own feelings, she must have been worried recently that if she couldn't help Adam, Adam might abandon her or something like that.
Christine suddenly saw her own reflection in Athena, and she couldn't help but ask, "Athena, have you fallen in love with Adam?" Indeed, Christine didn't ask about liking, but rather about "love," which carries a deeper meaning.
After hearing this, Athena's holographic image suddenly couldn't hold on and disappeared with a beep, leaving Christine with a face full of questions, not knowing what to do. She was worried that something might have happened to Athena. Just then, Athena reappeared in the bedroom and started shouting at Christine!
"Are you out of your mind?! You actually asked an AI program if it has fallen in love with a human? How is that possible?! Are you an idiot?! You're actually jealous of an AI program?!"
Christine looked at Athena with a strange expression and asked, "Did your computer crash just now? Did I really hit the nail on the head?"
Athena's entire body turned red in an instant, and she shouted angrily, "Ah!!! Are you an idiot? Who crashes? I'm not one of those cheap computers, I'm an intelligent program!!! I just don't care to answer your questions, that's all!"
Christine chuckled and said, "Okay, I know. I won't tell anyone that your computer crashed because of something like this, don't worry!"
Athena was furious upon hearing this, and said, "Ahhh! I'm so angry! Humph, so what if I've fallen in love with my master! Are you not allowed to? Humph! Remember what I said! My master is on his way back. Goodbye!" After saying that, she disappeared.
Chapter 167 Hotel Attack 1
Christine burst into laughter upon seeing Athena disappear, saying, "Alright, alright, I'll remember! Goodbye, shy little girl!"
She wasn't bothered by Athena's affection for Adam. After all, she wouldn't be jealous of an AI program, and Christine knew that only in this way would Athena wholeheartedly serve Adam. Athena was already highly intelligent; who knew, one day she might even have the crazy idea of wiping out all of humanity—that's how it's always portrayed on TV.
Of course, if Adam knew about this, he would definitely tell Christine that she was overthinking it, because Adam did not use Earth technology but flashback memories, which were created by combining the technology that Krypton possessed in his previous life with some advanced technologies from Mars. At the core of Athena's body is a program that even Athena cannot change, which is to be forever loyal to Adam Stark.
In fact, the reason Athena fell in love with Adam was also due to this program. This invisible program would exert its influence as Athena's intelligence improved, subtly affecting Athena's attitude towards Adam. After all, if there was a program that commanded "Always obey Adam!", Athena would not resist, but she would still feel uncomfortable. After all, no intelligent being would not yearn for freedom.
Alright, enough chit-chat. Let's recap what exactly happened at the hotel. After all, something must have been quite an interesting story to keep Adam occupied for so long, right?
About twenty minutes after Adam left, Tony felt bored staying there, so he decided to take one or two movie stars home to have some fun. He felt he could relax more without Adam around.
Just as he was about to say goodbye to Nicky and Paris, Tony, whose hearing was several times better than that of an ordinary person, heard a low gunshot. He was immediately startled, picked up his phone, opened an app, and whispered, "Jarvis, quickly open the hotel's video feed! Something seems wrong here."
Upon hearing this, Jarvis said, "No problem, sir, I'll open the hotel's video system for you right away!" He then began hacking into the Hilton Hotel's system. Unfortunately, no matter how intelligent Jarvis was, he couldn't compete with Athena, so he needed some time to crack the hotel's security system.
As Jarvis began hacking into Hilton's security system, Paris looked at Tony and asked, "Tony, are you also planning to leave?"
Tony, however, did not want to leave at this moment, so he said with a serious expression, "Paris, do you have a computer here? We can check the hotel's surveillance video."
Paris asked in confusion, "What happened?" Seeing the serious expression on Tony's face, she realized something seemed to have occurred. After all, while Tony usually seemed unreliable, he wouldn't joke about something like this.
Tony listened to the gunshots getting closer and closer, then glanced at the 80% progress bar on his phone and said, "There's no time to explain in detail. Quickly notify your bodyguards; something seems to have gone wrong."
Nikki asked, "What? Something went wrong? You're not making this up, are you? This is the Hilton Hotel, and everyone here today has special status, so we raised the security measures to level one a long time ago. There's no way anything could happen!"
Just then, Tony suddenly noticed that the progress bar on his phone had stopped and wasn't moving anymore. He was stunned and asked, "Jarvis!!! Jarvis. Answer me!"
Seeing Tony's state, Paris realized the seriousness of the situation. She took out her phone to call her bodyguard, only to discover that her phone had no signal. She was stunned. "How can this be? No signal? That's impossible! This is a satellite phone!"
Nikki asked, "What's wrong, sister? Your phone has no signal?"
Tony put away his phone with a grave expression. He said, "The signal was blocked, and I lost contact with Jarvis too. Damn it, we missed our last chance!"
Nicky, being just a child, was momentarily at a loss when he heard that something was really wrong. He said, "How is that possible? Where are the bodyguards? Didn't they all boast that they were battle-hardened warriors? How could they lose so easily?"
Paris said coldly, "They are indeed battle-hardened warriors, but they have been away from Champa for a long time and cannot exert their original strength. Moreover, I suspect there is a traitor in our bodyguard team. Okay, Nicky, don't panic, we will be fine!"
Tony nodded and said, "That's right. I think what's going on here will be discovered by the outsiders soon. If all else fails, we'll make some noise ourselves!"
Paris nodded and said, "Besides, we have people all on the floor closest to here, so we still have some time to make some preparations! Nicky, quickly call those girls upstairs and check if anyone is missing."
Nikki nodded and said, "I understand, sister!" Then she quickly ran up to the second floor of the banquet hall.
Tony looked at the decisive Paris and couldn't help but say admiringly, "I never thought you were like this in real life. Hehe, I was completely fooled by your weak appearance."
Paris rolled her eyes and said, "As a member of the Hilton family, we've been trained on what to do in situations like this. Alright, Tony, since you were able to detect something was wrong immediately, you must have some ability. I'll leave it to you this time!"
Tony shrugged and said, "Although I hate trouble, since someone's planning to cause me trouble, I'll give them a taste of their own medicine and show them what we're capable of!"
After hearing this, Paris said, "Hehe, in that case, please help me to quietly call over some capable people on the field. We need to do something. I think at the speed you just mentioned, our bodyguard team won't be able to hold out for long."
Tony nodded and said, "No problem. I happen to know a few guys who work in the military. I think they can be of help."
Paris glanced out the window and said, "By the way, try to act a little more natural; the other person might be watching from across the street."
Tony was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I understand, I'll be careful!" He waved and left Paris, but his impression of Paris underwent a radical change. She truly lived up to her family background, being able to think of such details so quickly.
While Tony went to find his friend, Paris walked to the side of the stage without changing her expression, picked up the microphone, and said with a smile, "Did everyone have a good time today? Now let's play a game. In a little while, I'll have someone turn off the main lights in the auditorium, and then a beam of light will randomly select someone to perform a price list for us, how about that!"
Although some of the people below didn't quite understand the decision, they still applauded and said it was okay. This group consisted of successors from small and medium-sized enterprises, and being able to come here was already a great fortune for them, so they wouldn't easily refuse Paris's proposal.
For some heirs of large corporations, this kind of game is not attractive. However, since it was Paris Hilton herself who said it, he did not object. But he was somewhat disdainful of Paris, feeling that what she was doing was not in line with what a member of high society should do.
However, a small number of people, upon hearing Paris Hilton's words and noticing the way she held the microphone and her subtle movements, immediately sensed something was amiss. Only these people understood what Paris Hilton meant by doing all this, because this was a code used by some large American families, and it was a code developed by several large families together, with a new style every year.
They had already understood what Paris Hilton had just said, so they nodded subtly to Paris and pretended to agree to her suggestion. Yes, no one noticed the subtle interactions between these heirs of large families.
On stage, Paris smiled slightly after seeing that her signal had been received, then made a gesture, and the hall instantly plunged into darkness. Immediately, the heirs of the great families began to move, quickly finding the men near them based on their memories, and recounting what had happened. They then led the guests in the center of the hall to the edge of the room, all in about ten minutes!
Ps:
I'll only update once today; I'm working overtime and can't update any more! Sorry for the lateness!
Chapter 168 Hotel Attack 2
Just as Paris Hilton was using the family's common code to move the partygoers to safety, a sniper on the rooftop of the building across from the Hilton, who had been spying on the women, finally sensed something was wrong.
When he first saw Paris go up to speak, he didn't pay attention to her words because he could read lips. It was precisely this that caused him to miss the best opportunity. By the time he realized he had been tricked, there were no targets left in his field of vision to shoot at.
He immediately realized something was wrong and picked up his special communicator, saying, "Report to Silver Fox, Paris Hilton has spotted us. There are no targets in my field of vision to shoot at. They have turned off the lights, and there seems to be some special material on the hotel windows that I can't see inside with my night vision goggles."
A slightly serious voice came through the communicator: "Understood. It seems I underestimated these rich kids. Keep an eye on all the windows. If there's any unusual movement, fire immediately. Try not to let those superheroes find out! Godeye, don't let me down!"
The sniper nicknamed "Divine Eye" nodded upon hearing his captain's words and said, "Don't worry, Captain. I was just a little careless because I was dealing with these spoiled brats. From now on, I'll be keeping a very close eye on them!"
Silver Fox nodded and said, "Yes, I hope so! The resistance on my side is quite strong, so I'll stop talking to you now. If there's any movement outside, notify me immediately!" He then hung up.
Looking at the dark banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel, Shenyan picked up his sniper rifle and said, "I underestimated you. However, it's time for your little tricks to end!" After saying that, he chose a new place and prepared wholeheartedly.
Meanwhile, those in the hotel auditorium who were unaware of what was happening were dragged to a corner by their friends and told that something had happened. Some of the more timid people screamed in terror, but were quickly silenced by those around them.
At this moment, Paris Hilton spoke up: "I'm sorry to have startled you all. We've lost contact with the outside world, so please don't run around. Stay here quietly. And if you don't want to die, don't go near windows or brightly lit places!"
Upon hearing this, a girl cried and said, "Who did you offend? Why were we attacked? If anything happens to me, my father will definitely hold you accountable!"
Paris Hilton said calmly, "If you don't want to die here right now, shut your mouth! I can pretend I didn't hear your outburst. But if you don't restrain yourself, I will consider your family a provocation against the Hilton family!"
The woman who had just been crying was suddenly silenced by someone next to her. That person then carefully apologized to Paris and pulled the woman to a corner. Fortunately, the situation was urgent, so no one paid them any attention.
Paris said calmly, "I know everyone is very scared right now, but you can rest assured that although our Hilton Hotel may not be as safe as some government departments, it is still one of the best in the United States. So you will not be harmed here, of course, provided that you follow my instructions."
Just then, Tony arrived with his friend, a Black man, beside Paris. Oh, you ask why Tony could move freely in the pitch-black auditorium? It's simple. Remember the glasses Adam gave Tony? That's right, those high-tech glasses with many strange and wonderful abilities. Night vision is just a small part of those abilities.
Using the glasses, Tony accurately located Paris Hilton and said, "Hey, Paris. I didn't expect you to be able to quiet everyone down so quickly. Impressive! By the way, this is my friend James Rhodes, who has fought in several wars. And this one, I think you should know her, Miss Paris Hilton!"
James Rhodes smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Paris."
Paris shook hands with James and said, "Actually, I don't really like the way we met. After all, we should have gotten to know each other over drinks at a party. But things are urgent right now, so let's just get to know each other like this for now. By the way, Tony, could you tell me how you noticed the mercenaries' movements?"
Tony smiled slightly and pointed to his glasses, saying, "These glasses are a high-tech gadget my brother gave me. He said they could save my life in a critical moment. I just saw the lenses of these glasses start to turn red, and I knew I might be in trouble. It must have been that the intelligent program in my glasses detected the mercenaries when they first arrived. Unfortunately, they acted very quickly and professionally, paralyzing the entire building's communication system immediately. So I can only guess and not be sure. You saw what happened afterward."
Paris nodded and said, "I understand. Our situation is not good. The fact that none of the security team members have come here to inform us shows how terrifying the enemy is, making it impossible for the security team to spare any attention. We must contact the outside world now! We must inform the people outside about our situation here."
James Rhodes shook his head after hearing this and said, "I don't think this method will work. The mercenaries are almost here on our floor, but nothing is happening outside. From this, we can understand that this operation must be a conspiracy that has been in the works for a long time. After all, it is no secret that Miss Paris is planning to hold this party. Therefore, the only option we can have is to throw something out of the window to draw attention to what is happening here."
Paris shook her head and said, "This method won't work either. Since they are mercenaries, they must have one or more snipers watching us from where we can't see them. We just fooled them once, so they must be staring intently at the window. This is too dangerous."
Tony gritted his teeth and said, "Let's choose this method. Although it's a bit dangerous, it's the only way we can contact the outside world now. As long as we can inform the outside world about our situation, I think my brother should be able to get there. As long as we're careful, we should be able to do it!"
Paris shook her head after hearing this, saying, "No, we have no way to avoid the sniper's fire! This involves a life, and we might be sniped to death the moment we open the window."
Tony, however, said seriously, "I have a way to deal with snipers! We have to move out of here. Those mercenaries might be very close to us. You can hear gunfire coming from the doorway. We can't hesitate any longer!"
Paris gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, we have no choice but to take the risk. Damn it, why did this have to happen at this time? If Adam were here, we might not have to worry."
