Chapter 405
Doctor Reyes calmly stated, "It was the Essex Corporation that wanted to train you to be assassins. I was merely following orders, but I was indeed the one carrying them out."
"You can hate me if you want."
"Dr. Su... Dr. Su Quan... you helped me... to train me to be an assassin?"
Just as Sunspot was about to speak, Cannonball rushed out from the side, looking at Su Quan with a face full of grief and indignation.
Yes, and there's Su Quan too.
Although they mostly follow Doctor Reyes's instructions in terms of time and things, it is Su Quan who is responsible for helping them control their abilities!
Su Quan glanced at the heartbroken and furious Cannonball, rolled his eyes at it, and said irritably, "How long have I been training you? You can still only take off, not stop, and you even have trouble turning! I'd rather train a monkey than train you to be an assassin!"
Cannonball was somewhat depressed after being criticized. Putting aside all the talk about killers, he widened his eyes, trying to explain that he wasn't that stupid and how could he be inferior to a monkey.
"You're not convinced?" Su Quan snorted and said, "In a Parallel World of the Multiverse, there is a legendary figure in the mercenary world. He comes from the top of a mountain in the forest. An assassin was chased and injured by the party that hired him after an assassination mission and fled to the place where he lives."
"It healed the assassin, and in return, the assassin taught it various assassin skills."
"The assassin's enemies came and Carnage the assassin and his entire clan."
"It directs all its anger toward the world, it sees every killer in the world as an enemy, it lives only for revenge, it is the Killer Monkey!"
"..."
Everyone was stunned. Was this true or made up? A monkey could become an assassin?
"What did you mean by talking about Parallel Worlds in the Multiverse?" Cannonball asked hesitantly.
Su Quan said, "The literal meaning."
"So, Parallel Worlds really exist? How can you prove it?" Cannonball asked incredulously.
Su Quan casually replied, "The Magik, Wolfsbane, Laura, and Doctor Reyes can all attest to this."
The Cannonball, the Sunspot, and the moon star instinctively looked at them.
The Magik said nonchalantly, "Where do you think I went when I left here?"
Wolfsbane nodded obediently to them. "Master took me to other worlds."
Laura calmly stated, "I come from a world during the Cold War, a world without Mutants."
Finally, Doctor Reyes concluded. "You have no idea how powerful and terrifying the Essex Corporation is. The founder of the Essex Corporation, Nathaniel Essex, was also Mutants. For many years, he has been using his vast power to collect Mutant Genes and recruit Mutants killers."
"If I can't train you to control yourselves and hand you over to the company, I'll be the one who dies!"
Sunspot asked in a deep voice, "Then why are you willing to tell us the truth now? Aren't you afraid of being killed by the company?"
Doctor Reyes glanced at Su Quan, smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm not afraid anymore, because he showed me a better, safer, and brighter future."
"You, aren't you also an employee of Essex Corporation? Why are you doing this?" Sunspot looked at Su Quan.
Su Quan said calmly, "Tell him who I am."
"You are the Lord of the Void!"
As Su Quan finished speaking, several other voices rang out simultaneously.
These people are Magik, Wolfsbane, Laura, and Doctor Reyes!
Good heavens! I exclaimed, "Good heavens!" So you all knew the inside story, you all knew Su Quan's identity, only we didn't!
Sunspots, Cannonball, and moons felt isolated and discriminated against!
Yuexing, in particular, felt doubly isolated and discriminated against. After all, out of so many women, she was the only one who didn't know the inside story or the truth!
What is this if not isolation? What is this if not discrimination?
They cannot yet comprehend what the Lord of the Void means, but two things are certain.
1. The Multiverse is real, and Su Quan can take them to other Parallel Worlds.
Second: Su Quan was in cahoots with Essex Corporation, and even managed to persuade Doctor Reyes was originally under Essex Corporation's control, to reform and turn to the light.
"Can we leave here now?" Sunspot asked urgently.
Su Quan nodded and said, "Okay."
"Great!" Sunspot excitedly said to Cannonball, "What are we waiting for? Pack your things and let's get out of here."
The Cannonball hesitated and did not respond.
Sunspot frowned and said, "Let's go, what are you thinking about?"
Cannonball hesitated and said, "Leave? Where to? Once we leave here, the Essex Corporation will know that their plot has been exposed, and they will definitely hunt us down all over the world."
The Sunspot scoffed. "Come with me, my parents will protect us."
Cannonball hesitated, then Doctor Reyes spoke up, "Your parents are very wealthy and have some influence in the area, but that's not enough against the Essex Corporation!"
"The fact that you were discovered by Essex Corporation and sent here is enough to show that your parents couldn't protect you. Once you go back, you will not only harm yourselves, but also your parents."
"Believe me, no one knows the Prince of Essex better than me!"
Sunspot was just impulsive and reckless, not stupid. After Doctor Reyes said that, he realized that his parents, whom he thought were very powerful, were not omnipotent and could not handle everything!
"So, we have no choice but to go with you?"
Su Quan shook his head. "You can also leave here and go out to make your own way. I won't force you to stay. If you choose to stay, you'll have to listen to me from now on."
"I stayed."
The Cannonball made its choice.
When Sunspot saw that its best friend decided to stay, it also made the choice to stay.
Of the three, only Yuexing remained.
"I... I..." Yuexing hesitated, unable to make a choice for a moment.
Just then, a series of loud rumbling sounds rang out outside, growing louder as if some enormous creature was approaching.
Immediately afterwards, the brightly lit room suddenly went dark.
"Monster...monster..." Sunspot exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at the window.
Yuexing turned her head to look, and a sudden surge of fear made her instinctively shiver.
Yes, that's it!
It's the Demon Bear that's chasing me in my dreams!
With its crimson eyes and enormous size, the Demon Bear, blocking out the sunlight, raised its massive paw and slammed it down onto the room.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
With a single claw strike, the window shattered, the wall collapsed, and the immense impact sent everyone staggering and scrambling towards Su Quan's direction.
In dangerous situations, they know very well who can protect their safety!
The Demon Bear pried open the wall with its claws, trying to squeeze in. Su Quan glanced at it in horror, completely unaware that the Demon Bear had appeared because of Yue Xing, and casually waved his hand away.
"Buzz—"
A sudden gust of wind howled towards the Demon Bear, blowing sand and stones along its path, clearing away broken walls and ruins, and even the massive Demon Bear was blown away without any resistance.
When the wind stops, the sound ceases!
The terrified crowd stared blankly as the Demon Bear, which had been thrown away, crashed heavily to the ground, all looking utterly bewildered.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Starlight Energy (Moonstar)"
Although Su Quan attacked the Demon Bear, the Demon Bear was a manifestation of Yue Xing's fearful illusion, so the source of the battle was still Yue Xing!
"This is it!"
"Starlight energy..."
The moment Su Quan received the Starlight energy, he knew its function: it could be shaped into various forms, and upon hitting a target, it would cause the target to have a violent mental reaction and lose the ability to move.
At the same time, the combination of Starlight energy and Psychic Illusions can materialize the created illusions into a physical form!
With a thought, Su Quan's powerful Psychic Power instantly created an illusion. Then, Starlight energy surged, and a larger and stronger Demon Bear appeared out of thin air!
"Hiss--"
The appearance of the second Demon Bear caused those unaware of the situation to gasp involuntarily.
Then, they froze.
The newly appeared Demon Bear did not attack them; instead, it charged towards its 'kind' that had just gotten up from the ground not far away.
"What... what's going on? Why are they... why are they fighting amongst themselves?"
Everyone was stunned to see the two Demon Bears fighting each other, each trying to claw out the other.
"The big one, the big one, seems to be here to help us," Wolfsbane said hesitantly in a low voice.
Others have similar speculations, but they don't know the origin or reason for the appearance of these two Demon Bears, so they dare not make a judgment.
