Chapter 501

Susan looked down at the clothes that looked as if they had been pulled out of the water, lost in thought, as if she had suddenly realized something.

Then, they tentatively tried to replicate the method.

Sure enough, it's getting closer.

Although she didn't know why there was such a 'setting', she didn't think too much about it.

Is this a dream? What kind of logic can there be in a dream?

Just as she was completely unburdened, the mysterious man was already in front of her, within arm's reach, close enough to touch her.

"Who are you?" Susan asked the other person curiously.

Before the other party could answer, she couldn't help but smile and murmur, "I almost forgot, this is my dream. You are a fictional creation of mine as an apology. Besides, you don't even have a face, so how could you have a name?"

"I am the Lord of the Void."

As soon as Susan finished speaking, a magnetic voice came from the mysterious man's mouth.

P. S.: The picture is of Susan from the New Fantastic Four.

"You have a name? No, I actually gave you a name?"

Susan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, wondering why her subconscious had created such a mysterious man and even given him a name.

To be honest, she wondered if she had been single for too long and was starting to miss men.

She has been very sensible since she can remember, and she has put all her energy into her studies. Seeing the couples around her, who are so sweet and affectionate, she subconsciously began to feel envious and hopeful.

The mysterious man represents the other half one is looking for; his lack of physical appearance is because one doesn't actually like anyone.

The subconscious belief that taking off clothes allows for closer contact stems from the thought that one should be more open.

Are you too conservative and destined to be single?

What does the name Lord of the Void symbolize?

"For existence itself, 'non-existence' itself does not exist. Therefore, absolute emptiness does not exist for existence; only relative emptiness exists."

"Therefore, emptiness in the absolute sense can only be a hypothesis. That's why it's called Void!"

"It's also an emptiness of 'hypothesis,' 'illusion,' and 'falsehood'!"

"In other words, the Lord of the Void symbolizes a hypothesis, an illusion!"

Wow, my subconscious mind is amazing!

Susan's self-analysis was so seamless and reasonable that Su Quan was dumbfounded and utterly impressed!

In fact, he didn't think that much about it at all!

He wanted to use dreams to establish his existence, give Susan a temporary precognitive ability, guide her to gain power, and make her come to him on her own initiative.

He is the Lord of the Void, so isn't it normal for him to use a little trickery to guide his followers to find him?

How perfectly in line with common sense!

Well, actually, he felt it wasn't necessary to make a special trip for Susan.

I still need to grind for Silver Surfer Galactus...

Besides, Susan, who's right next to me, smells even better!

As soon as Su Quan had a thought, the mysterious man in Susan's line of sight suddenly pounced on her.

After the initial panic subsided, Susan cooperated according to her own understanding of logic...

Daylight broke.

Upon waking from her dream, Susan didn't get out of bed immediately. Instead, she reminisced for a moment, or rather, savored the memory, before starting her new day with high spirits and a radiant glow.

As the seasons changed and night fell, the stars began to shine.

Susan finished washing up early and lay down. In a daze, she drifted into a dream again.

"Huh, where am I?"

Looking at the environment, which was completely different from before, Susan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The dark and gloomy alien planet is gone, as is the mysterious man; in its place stands a familiar school gymnasium and a bustling scientific seminar.

"Father?"

"Am I attending a science conference with my father?"

Susan found herself with her father, and unlike in her previous dreams, she could not speak or move freely.

She is Susan, but Susan is not her?

Susan's every word and action seemed to be pre-programmed, completely beyond her control.

She was like an observer trapped in Susan's body, watching helplessly as 'herself' followed her father to find two students researching Quantum Teleportation and invited them to join the team.

Then, the scene shifts to a laboratory where Quantum Teleportation is being tested.

Strangely, she knew who some people were, what their names were, and what they had done, even though she didn't know them at the moment.

"Reed, Ben, Victor ..." Susan murmured the names of the people, continuing to read from her own perspective.

It felt like watching an immersive movie.

"Phew..." In her school dormitory, Susan opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.

Golden sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, and Susan's face was gravely serious. "Today's dream... was so strange..."

"Quantum Teleportation experiment, the alien planets in the first two dreams, energy tides, gaining superpowers, Victor's revenge..."

"It's so real, so real, like this 'movie,' this dream, it feels like it could really happen!"

"But... why did the content of the dream suddenly change, and even become related to the previous dreams, while other aspects are abrupt and without reason?"

Just as Susan was wondering what was going on, her phone suddenly rang. When she picked it up, she saw it was her father calling.

"Hello, Father?"

"Are you up?"

"Get up."

"The gymnasium is preparing to host a science seminar. Pack your things and come find me."

"..."

Stadium?

Science seminar?

Susan was momentarily stunned.

There are two sides to the story, but the matter boils down to one.

Fantastic Four World, Military Base.

Su Quan was invited to receive the goods that belonged to him in the transaction.

Gold, silver, diamonds, oil, rare timber, coal, and other hard currency commodities worth tens of billions of US dollars were displayed in abundance and piled up like mountains.

General Haig handed the list to Frankie Raye, who was no longer in uniform, and then chatted with Su Quan with a smile.

After exchanging a few meaningless words, General Haig tentatively asked, "Does Mr. Su Quan know about this Metahuman calls himself the Human Torch?"

In just a few days, the flamboyant and unconventional Jonathan has become a household name.

This is a real Metahuman!

Without needing any investigation, Jonathan had already revealed his identity and background completely to the beautiful reporter.

This isn't without its advantages. Now the whole world knows Jonathan is Metahuman, and unless he does something wrong, no force or individual can openly and honestly deal with him.

As for resorting to underhanded tactics?

Since he enjoyed exceptional treatment, he naturally had to bear the corresponding troubles.

If he can't grasp the meaning of 'the final page of the sword manual is that without love, one is a god,' given his personality, he'll inevitably fall apart because of a woman sooner or later.

However, that's his own business.

The Fantastic Four combination is impossible to recreate. Frankie Raye is more obedient, more attractive, and more capable, has the same abilities as Jonathan. Therefore Su Quan never intended to bring Jonathan back to the Marvel Mainstream Universe.

He can stay and protect this world, since it will eventually be incorporated into his timeline territory and will need someone to guard and manage it.

"General Haig, why ask a question you already know the answer to? Jonathan is Susan's brother, and I'm sure you've already investigated the relationship between Susan and me thoroughly," Su Quan said calmly.

"That's right!" General Haig nodded and continued, "As far as I know, Jonathan didn't have any superpowers before."

"Yes, I agree."

"In a way, his ability—was given to him by me!"

General Haig's eyes lit up instantly, his breathing quickened, and he stared intently at Su Quan.
