It was him!
It was that powerful psychic!
It was the mysterious man who clearly had the strength to resolve everyone completely, yet let them off with a whimper, giving them a fright over nothing.
Looking at the hand he extended, slender-fingered with prominent knuckles, White Queen swore that this was definitely the most beautiful and charming pair of hands she had ever seen.
"Mm!"
She nodded heavily, mustering all her strength to leap out of the sea like a mermaid yearning for a brand-new life. She grabbed his hand, seizing the chance to leave the ocean.
"Whoosh—"
The evening breeze rippled the wavy sea surface. A few speedboats of the Coast Guard bobbed with the waves, their lights sweeping back and forth across the water, but not a single person was in sight—only the deep, quiet, and terrifying sea...
"Splash."
Soaking wet, White Queen collapsed forward onto the floor, water droplets from her hair dripping patter, patter onto the soft carpet.
She froze.
Raising her head, she looked around. This was a spacious and luxurious living room, seemingly that of a hotel suite.
Warm and cozy...
"Drink?"
Su Quan sat on the sofa beside the carpet, poured a glass of whiskey, and handed it to the dazed and horrified White Queen.
White Queen blankly took it, took a large gulp, drew a few deep breaths, and asked, "What is this place?"
"New World."
"New World?" White Queen murmured softly, and suddenly, an incredulous expression appeared on her face.
New World?
Could it be... Is this really the kind of New World I'm thinking of?!
PS: I'm about to have a nervous breakdown stuck on this chapter. Stuck for over three hours last night, woke up today and kept going, barely managed to transition past it.

The next day, afternoon.
A coffee shop near Columbia University.
The sky was as clear as a sheet of blue paper, and a few thin white clouds, as if baked and melted by the sunlight, drifted leisurely with the wind.
White Queen sat by the street-facing window, gently touching the golden afterglow streaming in through the window.
The sunlight was warm and bright, dispelling the gloom in her heart and making her feel warm all over.
On the table, seven or eight magazines and a few newspapers were pushed to one side.
This world had no mutants, no Hellfire Club, and none of everything she was familiar with.
The time was different, too.
From 1962 to 2005, forty-three years passed in the blink of an eye. Like the wind from Nanshan scattering grain piles, or the water from Beihai submerging tombstones, going from a queen walking at the forefront of the era to a completely ignorant old-timer—truly, time flies and the years bring great changes.
The past had become a memory, the future had already become the present. Seize the present and look forward to the future—this was a brand-new beginning!
"What should I do?" White Queen looked at the serene young man opposite her. This esoteric and powerful man who had given her a new life was her new king, the new object of her allegiance!
Su Quan put down his coffee cup and said slowly, "We won't stay in this world for long. We came here to find a man named Reed Richards to help me fix a few things. Even though he's still an ordinary person right now, he possesses what can be called the multiverse's number-one brilliant brain."
"He's right in this school. Find him, hand these things over to him, and then—"
A slender finger tapped his head: "What's mine is mine. Don't touch it, don't move it, don't grab it, understand?"
Understood!
Although she didn't know what the items were, he was only responsible for repairing them. She shouldn't harbor any other ideas she shouldn't have!
White Queen nodded, picked up the bag to the side, and prepared to stand up and leave.
"There's living expenses I left for you inside. Your task is to keep an eye on him and ensure no accidents happen during the process."
"Yes."
Seeing him pick up his coffee cup, White Queen nodded perceptively, turned and left the coffee shop, walking through the school gates of Columbia University.
Last night's brief time-travel could be said to have over-fulfilled its goals.
The combination of White Queen's and Professor X's psychic abilities was astonishingly powerful; perhaps she could try controlling Elios. If successful, turning it into her guard dog would truly make her a deserving Lord of the Void!
Magneto's ability to control magnetic fields was also particularly important. Once Elios was controlled and the Void was completely mastered, she, the Lord of the Void, couldn't possibly still hang around in an underground castle, right?
Engaging in infrastructure construction—Magneto's ability was simply peerless.
There were also those abandoned spaceships abandoned in different corners that had repair value; they needed to be recovered and managed uniformly, which also required this ability.
As for Havok's and Black King Shaw's abilities, the former had low applicability, while the latter leaned toward passive abilities, rendering them almost useless in the matter of building the Void.
As a side note, on the system panel, Black King Shaw's Absorption and Release of Energy and Starlight's Light Emission and Energy Absorption had merged, unifying into: Absorption and Release of Energy.
Five minutes later, Su Quan paid the bill, walked out of the coffee shop, and teleported to the Void from a secluded alley nearby.
"Huh?"
"Did I fall into a pile of Lokis?"
The moment Su Quan appeared, he found himself surrounded three layers deep and three layers wide by a group of 'Loki's with different appearances and varying outfits.
Wearing a horned crown, a suit, a green vest, and a tie, President Loki pushed the others aside, came before Su Quan, raised his head proudly, and spread his arms: "Welcome to my domain. I am the king here, Loki!"
"I am the king here." A Loki of unknown description muttered in unconvinced, low sabotage.
"No, I am the king."
"Bullshit, I am the king."
"The kingship is mine, you guys don't even think about snatching it from me."
[...]
True total betrayal!
Before Su Quan could even speak, they were already undermining each other and betraying each other.
You don't submit to me, I don't submit to you; arguing back and forth, they actually vaguely looked like they were about to start fighting.
This wave was every Loki feeling that the advantage was his.
"Pfft—"
Amidst the chaos, nobody knew which Loki couldn't hold back and stealthily stabbed another Loki.
The stabbed Loki widened his eyes in disbelief, swung around, and stabbed a spectator Loki.
"You launched a sneak attack! You can't afford to lose! You little piece of trash! You have no strength! You don't even dare to face me head-on! What the hell are you playing at!"
The spectator Loki cursed while following suit, finding other onlookers. There was no way he was going to take a stab all by himself!
Su Quan hadn't said a single word, but the whole scene had already gotten so chaotic that it made one's scalp tingle.
Talents!
They were all fucking talents!
Watching the Lokis go on a killing spree regardless of friend or foe, Su Quan had every reason to suspect that this was their routine 'welcome ceremony'.
Well, basic operation, don't make a fuss!
"Enough!"
Seeing more and more Lokis lying down, President Loki finally shouted out, coming forward to save the day and put a stop to this farce.

Silence fell. Everyone maintained their existing postures without moving a muscle. The entire scene seemed as though the pause button had been pressed, coming to a complete standstill!
President Loki smiled smugly.
Did you see that?
This was his deterrent force!
This was his ruling power!
He was the true king—
"Pfft!"
The sound of a weapon piercing flesh rang out abruptly and harshly amidst the silence.
President Loki, who had only been smug for a few seconds, followed the sound and roared furiously at a Loki who had just fatally stabbed the Loki next to him.
"Didn't you hear me say enough?!"
