Chapter 014: The Scorpion King's Past

Wang Bo spent several days playing all the attractions at Disneyland before sending Elsa and Anna back to Arendelle.

Since King Agnarr and Queen Iduna had been notified on the very first day, they were not anxious.

When Wang Bo brought the two girls back, they invited him alone to dinner.

Wang Bo agreed almost without hesitation.

They were Elsa and Anna's parents, the parents of his students; as a teacher, he naturally wanted to maintain good relations with them. Thus, the dinner was a pleasant affair for both host and guest.

After dinner, under their warm hospitality, Wang Bo stayed overnight in the palace and only took his leave the next day, returning to Middle-earth.

At that time, Middle-earth was still in a stable state following the recent events concerning Eru Ilúvatar.

The entire continent was harmonious.

No one dared to cause trouble at this time; even Sauron, whom the White Council had been watching, hid quietly in some corner of Middle-earth, not daring to stir up trouble.

At this moment, the One Ring, barring any accidents, should still be in the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins.

This man would hold the One Ring for decades, maintaining purity of heart under its decades-long temptation, and ultimately relinquish ownership of the Ring.

This was absolutely unique in all of Middle-earth. No one could compare to him.

Even Bilbo's nephew, Frodo Baggins, was far inferior.

Not even the Lady of Lothlórien, Galadriel, could match him.

Wang Bo recalled that in the plot of The Lord of the Rings, the One Ring once tempted Galadriel, nearly causing her to fall to darkness. Although she ultimately resisted and ignored the Ring's temptation, this did not mean she surpassed Bilbo.

After all, she had nearly fallen after just a brief contact with the One Ring.

If she had dared to live with the One Ring day and night for decades, she would likely have become Sauron's lackey. Not just Galadriel, even Gandalf could not have resisted.

Since Middle-earth was currently peaceful and Wang Bo had no business there, he left Middle-earth and returned to the Eastern Estate in the Mummy world.

At that time, the Mummy world, like Middle-earth, was harmonious with no major events.

Jonathan had already chosen a location for the nightclub and was actively renovating.

O'Connell and his wife Karen, along with their son Alex, were living an ordinary life.

As for Evelyn, she was still researching the story of the Scorpion King, frequently visiting various libraries.

Hera herself remained missing.

In the entire estate, only Wang Bo lived a leisurely life.

However, Wang Bo was quite satisfied with this kind of life, even hoping it could last a little longer.

But just then, Diana finally emerged from the Time Villa.

After much effort, she had grasped the essence of the Northern Dark Rebirth Technique and, with the wisdom of a demigod, adapted it into a divine power version of the technique.

From now on, she, Diana, was also a demigod who could resurrect after death.

Although this ability could only be used once, it at least granted an extra life.

"Impressive, Diana." Wang Bo immediately expressed his amazement upon learning of Diana's achievement.

Diana was eager to return to Themyscira to teach the Northern Dark Divine Art to the warriors of the island—though not the divine power version. She was a demigod, but the Amazon warriors of Themyscira were not. They could never cultivate the divine power version of the Northern Dark Divine Art.

Thus, Diana modified the Northern Dark Divine Art into a version that the Amazon warriors of Themyscira could cultivate.

This was not difficult for a demigod.

Wang Bo had previously given Diana many martial arts manuals for reference, even teaching her the Ripple Breathing Technique. Combining a large number of martial arts manuals, meridian theory, and the three channels and seven chakras, Diana ultimately created a version that everyone could cultivate.

This version of the Northern Dark Divine Art allowed one to run faster, jump higher, possess greater recovery and healing abilities, and ultimately achieve resurrection after death.

It could be said that this version of the Northern Dark Divine Art, like the Super Soldier Serum in the Marvel world, could comprehensively enhance the human body. But more importantly, while the Northern Dark Divine Art might not have the immediate effects of the Super Soldier Serum, it allowed continuous improvement, with a potential far exceeding that of the Super Soldier Serum.

More importantly, because Themyscira was protected by Zeus's magical barrier, all Amazon warriors were immortal. Thus, the longer they cultivated the Northern Dark Divine Art, the more terrifying their power became.

Perhaps after a thousand years or so, Amazon warriors who cultivated the Northern Dark Divine Art could even rival some demigods.

Understanding Diana's urgency, Wang Bo did not stop her but personally saw her off.

First, they went to Middle-earth, then from Middle-earth to the Transformers world, and from the Transformers world back to the DC world.

Finally, Diana was sent back to Themyscira by Wang Bo.

Wang Bo then returned to the Mummy world.

Time flew by, and soon several more days passed. The day of the Scorpion King's resurrection drew nearer.

Just this morning, Evelyn suddenly rushed to the estate. Seeing Wang Bo sunbathing, she dragged him back without a word.

Back in the hall, Evelyn said excitedly to Wang Bo, "A great discovery, a truly great discovery!"

Wang Bo asked in surprise, "What great discovery?"

Evelyn said, "I found records about the Scorpion King. Do you know what I discovered from them?"

Wang Bo shook his head.

Evelyn pulled an ancient book from the leather bag behind her, opened it to a page, and pointed to a passage, saying, "It says here that in ancient times, before the Scorpion King became the Scorpion King, he once met a mysterious maiden who gave him great help."

Wang Bo had seen the plot of The Scorpion King and naturally knew who the Scorpion King had met.

Wasn't it the sorceress Cassandra?

Without this sorceress, the Scorpion King could never have defeated that powerful opponent, the Lord of the Great City.

Evelyn, not noticing Wang Bo's expression, continued, "This mysterious maiden once taught the Scorpion King a wondrous power, but he failed to master it, which is why he suffered unprecedented defeat when attacking Thebes."
