Chapter 304
It is obvious that Tina Min had some knowledge of her neighbors, who were also isolated in the Himalayas.
"I... I'm afraid I should ask, but what is your purpose in seeking out the Inhumans...?" Tina Min asked somewhat nervously.
Su Quan smiled and said, "If all goes well, they will be my people from now on."
Tina Min responded with an "oh".
Su Quan chuckled and retorted, "Are you going to interfere in Kamar-Taj? If I remember correctly, you don't have much interaction with them, do you? They don't even know you exist."
"Yes." Tina Min replied subconsciously, then quickly shook her head and explained, "No, no, no, I mean they really don't know we exist, not that Kamar-Taj is going to interfere."
Su Quan raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "It's alright to get involved. I haven't encountered an opponent who can ignite my fighting spirit in a long time."
Looking at the snow-capped mountains around her and the low peaks below that seemed like two different worlds, the mystical atmosphere of being on top of the world made a sentence pop into Tina Min's mind.
I am invincible in the world!
Of course, I'm not talking about her, but about Su Quan, the Lord of the Void!
Because of her worship, or rather obsession, with Su Quan, the Lord of the Void, Tina Min paid a lot of attention to the affairs of Nato Tong. As a mage, she was naturally curious about Su Quan's strength.
She even asked the Master The Ancient One how strong Su Quan, the Lord of the Void, really was. The Master The Ancient One just smiled and said, "I don't know how strong he is either!"
Tina Min's first reaction was that if Master The Ancient One didn't know how strong Su Quan was, it meant that Su Quan's strength was likely even greater than that of the Master The Ancient One!
It was precisely because the Master The Ancient One said this that Tina Min, who had only met Su Quan once, imagined Su Quan's strength, which led to her being so eccentric and worshipping Su Quan in such an abnormal way.
No—it should be called worship!
"Aren't you going back to tell Ancient One and put her mind at ease?" Su Quan looked at Tina Min, who was lost in thought, and patted her shoulder with a smile.
Tina Min suddenly realized what was happening and awkwardly said, "I, I'll go back right away."
As he spoke, he prepared to open the Teleportation Portal.
"Wait a minute." Su Quan called out to her, smiling as he handed her something, "I didn't intend to go back on my word, this is for you."
"Staff of One?!"
Tina Min looked at the Staff of One that Su Quan handed her, then looked down at the Staff of One in her own hand, and was completely dumbfounded.
"This, how is this possible? There should only be one Staff of One!" Tina Min stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Don't forget, I am the Lord of the Void."
Su Quan winked at Tina Min, and then with a whoosh, he effortlessly arrived at the mountain peak where his Afterlife was.
Tina Min's appearance was just an unplanned interlude. If it were at another time or place, Su Quan might have chatted with her a bit more. After all, Nico Minoru's mother in the Zombie Universe is dead. If there were a chance for these two 'mother and daughter' from different time periods to meet, it would be quite interesting.
With lush green grass and a refreshing breeze, Su Quan walked straight toward the interconnected houses.
He had only taken a few steps when he was spotted.
People gradually emerged from the houses and into the distance, slowly gathering together, their expressions ranging from wary to worried to curious as they scrutinized Su Quan.
From the crowd, a woman wearing brown jeans and a gray-white work jacket stepped out.
Those legs... are so long!
Su Quan sighed inwardly, recognizing the woman's identity.
The nature of the Afterlife is like a training center. Whenever Inhuman is discovered outside, they are brought back, helped to go through the transformation period, and taught how to control their abilities.
Once their abilities have stabilized, Gordon will send anyone who wants to leave.
You can stay if you want, but you must abide by the rules of the Afterlife.
In terms of scale, the Afterlife is definitely not as good as Attilan, and it can't support as many people. So the Afterlife has a lot of Inhuman under its control, but there aren't many Inhuman in the Afterlife!
Most of the Inhuman who remained in the Afterlife were not very noticeable. Apart from Jiaying and Gordon, Su Quan only remembered two people.
One of them, Lincoln Campbell, had the ability to control electrical charge. His usual method was to discharge it, but the power of that discharge was... well, let's just say it was a bit of a mystery.
You say he's strong? His destructive power is just so-so; you say he's weak? He can hold his own against both secret agents and Inhuman.
Another one is called Lisa Whitley, also known as the Doppelganger. She can split into two, and each doppelganger can share a perspective with the others. She is both independent and a whole.
The woman walking out of the crowd is none other than Alisha Whitley, the doppelganger.
"Who are you!" Alisha Whitley walked up to Su Quan and asked warily.
"Su Quan."
Su Quan smiled and said his name.
Alisha Whitley frowned slightly and muttered to herself, "Su Quan? That name sounds familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
"Nato Tong!"
"Are you the boss of Nato Tong?"
Just then, another boy stepped out from the crowd, and coincidentally, it was Lincoln Campbell.
How should I put it?
All I can say is that he earned his role through his own efforts.
No wonder they were so noticeable in the TV series. There were at least a dozen people around them, some of whom clearly didn't look like they had just transformed and weren't familiar with their abilities yet, but none of them spoke up or stepped forward. It's no wonder they were so noticeable.
"You're the owner of Nato Tong? What are you doing here?" Alisha Whitley remembered, but she didn't let her guard down.
To the average person, Nato Tong is just a slightly more powerful courier company. Well, okay, we can remove the dot.
However, for Inhuman like Alisha Whitley with special identities, Nato Tong is much more than just a delivery company.
Most of the deliverymen at Nato Tong are not ordinary people.
As the boss, can Su Quan be ordinary?
"You've come to see me, haven't you?" A voice came from behind the crowd. The crowd gradually parted, and a man and a woman walked over one after the other.
The visitors were none other than Jiaying and Gordon, the leaders of the Afterlife.
Jiaying was wearing a cheongsam with a strong Huaxia style, and there was a scar on her face that looked quite noticeable.
Gordon wore an ordinary beige trench coat. The only unusual thing about him was that he had no eyes. His eyes, or rather his eye sockets, were covered by skin and were completely dead.
Jiaying calmly gestured to everyone not to worry, then looked at Su Quan and invited him with a smile, "Since you have come from afar, I must do my best to be a good host."
"Good."
Su Quan readily agreed and followed her through the crowd into the nearby wooden house.
The rich and fragrant aroma of tea wafted gently as Jiaying placed the teacup in front of Su Quan and sat down opposite him.
Su Quan tasted it and exclaimed, "Excellent tea!"
Jiaying didn't respond to the question, but instead asked directly, "What brings you here this time?"
"For you."
"And for all Inhumans as well."
Su Quan spoke casually and nonchalantly, but Jiaying's expression changed drastically, her brows furrowing. "They've definitely come with ill intentions..."
Recalling the rumors about Su Quan and Nato Tong, Jiaying asked in a deep voice, "How do you know about the Inhumans?"
How did I learn about the Inhumans?
Su Quan smiled.
"In 3500 BC, the Kree Empire declared war on the Skrull Empire, which sparked a war that lasted for thousands of years."
???
Jiaying was stunned. "I asked you how you know about the Inhumans. What are you talking about? The Kree Empire Skrull Empire?"
"Some radicals among the Kree, in order to enable their race to win the war, have begun searching for planets in the universe with primitive life, where they will use genetic technology to create biological weapons."
"A group of Kree visited Earth at this time, selected some humans from all over the world to modify, and called these test subjects Inhumans. The first Inhuman was a Maya who was modified and named Hive, and was chosen as the leader of the Inhumans."
Jiaying's expression changed slightly. She put aside her thoughts and listened attentively.
"Soon afterward, the radicals among the Kree were all recalled to their home planet, and the Inhuman were abandoned on Earth to develop on their own. Because they feared the power of the Hive, the Inhuman used the technology left behind by the Kree to expel them to a distant planet."
"The worshippers of the Hive left on Earth established a secret organization in human society in order to rescue their leader, which will be named Hydra in the future."
Jiaying's expression changed again, her eyes filled with boundless hatred!
Su Quan ignored him and continued, "The relationship between the Inhumans remained on Earth and humans became increasingly tense. Left with no other choice, the Inhumans chose to migrate to the outpost established by the Kree on the moon."
"From then on, the Inhumans split into two groups. One group implemented a strict caste system on the moon to control the population and promote eugenics; the other group dispersed to various parts of the earth and became smaller and more scattered."
Jiaying's expression was somewhat complicated. She hadn't expected Su Quan to know so much about the Inhumans, especially the existence of Inhumans on the moon, which was something she had never heard of before!
"You're also Inhumans?"
Jiaying felt that Su Quan knew so much about the Inhumans, and that Nato Tong had many people with special abilities, so he was very likely also Inhumans and had been searching for and recruiting other Inhuman.
This time, however, he set his sights on the Afterlife!
Su Quan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then shook his head with a smile, "I'm not Inhumans, I'm just Lord of the Void knows more and has more abilities."
"With your current limited understanding, you cannot comprehend what the Lord of the Void means. Simply put, you can regard me as Omniscient & Omnipotent —god!"
Jiaying scoffed. "Omniscient & Omnipotent god? I've never believed in a god! Even if a god truly exists, anyone who dares to plot against us in our Afterlife will face certain death!"
