Chapter 486
After all, no one would dare to presume to impersonate the Lord of the Void.
Putting everything else aside, Hellfire Club is no pushover!
Although the Hellfire Club has never officially claimed any connection with the Void Island, their regular contact with the Void Island is an open secret.
The Lord of the Void not only attended my concert, but also came backstage to find me?
Even in her dreams, Ellie wouldn't dare to dream of such a scenario.
"Oh no."
"Was my attitude just now offensive to the Lord of the Void?"
Ellie, who had been excited, was instantly sobered up as if doused with cold water. She looked over anxiously and tentatively explained:
"Yes, I'm sorry!"
"I didn't know you were the Lord of the Void. If I had known your identity, I wouldn't have dared to fight you even if I had a hundred times more courage."
Su Quan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Why don't you dare?"
"Because, because you are the Lord of the Void."
"Because I'm strong..."
Su Quan smiled and asked again, "What if one day your opponent is as strong as me? Would you still not dare to make a move? Would you still be as subservient and obsequious as you are now?"
Ellie was taken aback by his words and instinctively wanted to argue, but a sudden thought flashed through her mind, and she said thoughtfully, "That depends on who I'm fighting for."
"Oh? For you?" Su Quan smiled.
Ellie said, "For my own sake, I should naturally bow my head and submit when necessary, after all, I don't want to die."
If I have the chance to take revenge later, I will; if not, I will just endure it.
Be flexible and adaptable, and don't act impulsively.
Su Quan asked again, neither confirming nor denying, "What if it's for me?"
Ellie's heart suddenly raced, and she thought to herself, "I guessed right."
"If it's for your sake, then we have no choice but to fight to the death."
Why?
"By then, I would have already joined Void Island and become one of your people. If I am unwilling to fight to the death for you, why would you accept me and protect me?"
Equivalent exchange?
Can you win people's hearts in return?
"Raising an army for a thousand days to use it for one moment?"
It will be all right!
Su Quan was fairly satisfied with her answer and nodded slightly, "I hope you can keep your word."
Ellie was overjoyed. "Does this mean I've joined the Void Island?"
At Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Su Quan took in Ellie and brought her and the girl Jean Grey back, and then they never went out again.
He created a Pocket Space within the academy and used his ability to Reality Warping to transform it into a year-round summer island environment.
The island is a real island, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and villas standing tall, like a paradise on earth.
The sea is indeed the sea, with its surface rippling with blue waves, and its seabed varying in depth, where all sorts of marine life swim and frolic freely.
Since the creation of the Pocket Universe, Su Quan and the Void Guard have moved in, not to mention Ellie.
Although the girl Jean Grey has already officially joined, and Jubilee, who has not yet been officially announced but is almost certain to join, have their own rooms even though they haven't moved in directly.
The only two who were turned away were Magneto and his son Quicksilver.
The reason for the rejection was reasonable: most of the people inside were women, the weather was hot, and they were dressed lightly, so it wouldn't be appropriate for you to go in.
As for why Su Quan was allowed to live there?
Hehe.
This space was created by Su Quan. As the creator, isn't it normal for him to move in?
Besides, the Void Guard's duty is to be wherever Su Quan is.
Su Quan moved in, so they have to move in too. That makes perfect sense!
Of course, these reasons aren't really necessary.
Su Quan made the decision of who to let live and who not to let live with a single word; there was no need for explanation!
Su Quan didn't indulge in debauchery or live a dissolute life. After all, the Void Guard had been with him for many years, so there was no difference between being here and being on the Void Island.
Those who wanted to spend money and have fun have already done so.
Su Quan's decision not to go out does not mean that his recruitment plan has been suspended. With so many subordinates around him, there is no need to do everything personally. If he is interested, he can take charge himself; if he is not interested, he can simply have his subordinates bring the people back.
For example, right now, a target has been brought back by Polaris, Rogue, and Blink.
The seaside, the sandy beach.
Su Quan lay between Lauren and the young Storm. Despite the blazing sun and stuffy air, the sunlight was not scorching and the sea breeze was cool thanks to their abilities.
The target, with her long, dark purple hair cascading down her back and her head hanging low, drifted over like a ghost, following Polaris, Rogue, and Flash.
Su Quan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the unconscious target, and asked them in a daze, "What's going on? Doesn't she want to come?"
Given the reputation and status of the Void Island, Psylocke shouldn't refuse the invitation. After all, in the movie, she betrayed Caliban without hesitation and became one of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse.
Yes, this time the target is Psylocke!
Psylocke is working for Caliban, but even if Caliban knew that she was trying to poach him, he probably wouldn't dare to stop her.
Unless he feels he can stop Void Island and then doesn't want to do business with Void Island anymore.
But is it possible?
Caliban, a black market merchant, is best at assessing situations and making judgments; otherwise, he would have been wiped out long ago. As long as the root of the problem isn't touched, he's unlikely to break ties with Void Island.
Moreover, Su Quan didn't just ask for people without giving them a word. He not only gave him a million dollars, but also promised to give him a few spots to join Void Island regularly.
It's worth noting that Caliban's business largely revolves around making fake passports for Mutants who want to smuggle themselves out or escape. If he could get people to join the Void Island, one can imagine how much his influence, status, and benefits would increase.
No matter how you look at it, neither Psylocke nor Caliban had any reason to refuse her, so why was Psylocke brought here while unconscious?
Polaris, Rogue, and Blink exchanged glances, and finally Polaris spoke.
"Uh... we didn't tell her that you wanted to see the master, nor did we reveal our identity as Void Island."
As long as the task is completed, Su Quan doesn't mind if they have the freedom to do as they please. After all, everyone has their own habits and personality. It would be undesirable if they became monotonous puppets without any individuality.
"Tell me what happened."
"Yes."
Polaris nodded and began to recount what had happened.
The reason is actually quite simple: there are Psylocke from the Old Timeline on Void Island. They are very curious about the Psylocke's Doppelganger and want to hide their identities to observe first.
This Psylocke turned out to be much more fiery than the Psylocke on Void Island; it became impatient and attacked without warning.
Now that we've already started, we can't reveal our identities now, can we?
This makes people look down on us.
It seemed as if they were afraid, and they even tarnished the prestige of Void Island.
Let's win first!
Psylocke is quite strong, with very sharp swordsmanship, but her abilities haven't been enhanced, so her overall strength is not as good as it was during the Four Horsemen's time in the movie.
Who are her opponents?
Needless to say, Blink didn't even make a move; it was just a 'vehicle'.
Rogue's abilities are too wicked; anyone who touches Psylocke will either die or faint, so there's no rush to make a move.
It was Polaris that made the move.
Regardless of her abilities or strength, Psylocke is no match for her now.
What if you can't win?
Call for backup!
Then Caliban joined the war with a group of Mutants.
At this point, it was even more unacceptable to reveal one's identity, and the one-on-one fight turned into a group brawl, and then... that was the end of it.
Caliban wasn't Mutants skilled in combat to begin with. His Mutants, while not exactly grotesque, didn't have any decent strongmen either. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept Psylocke by his side to protect him.
As expected, Caliban and his gang were wiped out.
Of course, this "team wipeout" is not the same as the "team wipeout" in the traditional sense; it simply means that some members of the team were injured or knocked unconscious.
The injury was caused by Polaris, while the unconsciousness was caused by Rogue, including the still unconscious Psylocke!
