Chapter 443 Understanding Medusa
Since he was already there, Connors decided to make the best of it and, after discovering that he couldn't use teleportation abilities to leave the Inhumans' moon, decided to settle down and stay.
The superheroes who remained on Earth were no pushovers, and none of those who, like him, were weak, were sent out to search for Magneto in numerous universes.
Superman, the god of Apokolips; Strange, the supreme being with six Infinity Stones; Batman, who wields the Möbius Chair—each of them is a being who can roam freely in most universes.
After Connors put aside his hasty thoughts and took over the Inhumans' palace, Medusa, who temporarily became the Inhumans' queen, began to visit him every few days.
Judging from her appearance, it seems that her actions in wiping out the Skrulls also eliminated many of her own kind, and Medusa used this opportunity to gradually expand her ambitions:
She wants to replace Black Bolt and become the true queen of the Inhumans, not just the temporary one she is now.
On the night before the moon was about to be pushed to Earth, Medusa came to Connors's residence once again.
She finally took off the off-shoulder white wedding dress and put on a fitted misty purple long dress, her deep red hair almost dragging on the ground behind her.
Medusa seemed to have put on makeup today; the contrast between her bright red lips and fair skin was exceptionally strong. When she got closer to Connors, he could even smell the perfume that Medusa had deliberately sprayed on.
It wouldn't be to say the scent was particularly pleasant; to this day, Connors has never seen anyone whose fragrance could compare to Catwoman Selena's.
This fragrance contains aphrodisiac elements, and Medusa's purpose in spraying it is obvious.
"Possessing strength comparable to or even surpassing Black Bolt, and having no connection whatsoever with any power in this world—"
Medusa watched Connors dancing with flames in his palm and pondered to herself.
Compared to the other Inhumans, Connors is quite good, which makes her an asset to the Inhuman Queen.
However, unlike Black Bolt who silently ruled the Inhumans, Connors has been quite active these past few days, often joining in the fun in the city called Attilan. Medusa felt that she couldn't control this man with words alone.
So she decided to use other means to control Connors and then completely control the Inhumans.
With this thought in mind, Medusa slowly leaned forward in her chair, revealing large swathes of her snow-white skin through the neckline of her form-fitting long dress.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Connors asked righteously, staring unabashedly at the cleavage that Medusa was deliberately displaying.
This was the first time he had ever been seduced in the strict sense, and Connors wanted to see just how determined Medusa was to control the Inhumans.
"Power-hungry individuals are not uncommon, even among the rigidly hierarchical Inhumans," Connors thought to himself, looking at Medusa.
Medusa's determination was greater than he had imagined. She stared directly into Connors' eyes: "You are too powerful. Every day you are in Attilan makes me uneasy."
"For you, the Inhumans could disappear from this world at any time because of your bad mood, so I want to make a deal with you."
The Queen, still having some sense of propriety, didn't get straight to the point. Instead, she disguised her ambition to control the Inhumans: "You will help me become the true Queen, and I will do anything for you in return for peace between you and the Inhumans."
Connors looked at Medusa, who was leaning closer to him, and slowly inserted a finger into the deep crevice that was almost flattened like a snowflake, asking, "Judging from your expression, you've already decided on the order of these two things?"
When the moment came, even Medusa, who had made up her mind, couldn't help but feel shy. But Connors then activated the "Charm" reward for watching the show, causing Medusa's last bit of composure to vanish.
On the road outside the Inhumans' palace, Gorgon and Karnak were still patrolling.
"That outsider has been staying in the palace for the past few days, and Medusa has not ordered him to be driven out."
Gorgon muttered angrily to his companion beside him.
Karnak sighed and said, "Now it's obvious to everyone that Black Bolt is missing, and that outsider Connors has wiped out a large number of Skrulls. In terms of strength, no Inhuman can rival him. Medusa can only treat him as a guest."
"Then what do we do?" Gorgon frowned. The Inhumans, who dared to wage a full-scale war against the human armies on Earth, were now being suffocated by just one person pressing down on their heads. He felt like he could hardly breathe.
"Brother, don't even mention it, we're all worried about this too." Karnak and Gorgon's voices faded into the distance. "Attilan is threatened by Connors, and the approaching Earth is threatened by the Avengers and their military—"
"I wonder what methods Queen Medusa will use to allow the Inhumans to survive in this precarious situation —"
Inside the palace, Connors, one of the Inhumans, was not very clear about the situation, but he did get a good look at Medusa's situation.
They stopped at night and continued until the next day, when the moon finally entered the solar system.
"—The Inhumans, mutants, and humans on Earth were locked in a three-way struggle until a few years ago when mutants and humans reached some kind of agreement to fight against the Inhumans together. That's why we took the moon and escaped into the depths of space."
Deep red waves covered Medusa's fair body as she explained to Connors the reason why the moon had left the earth.
"Mutants are barely able to protect themselves, yet they'd unite with humans to fight the Inhumans?" Connors asked doubtfully. "Queen Medusa, are you perhaps hiding something from me?"
According to Medusa's description, the Inhumans were completely innocent, sitting peacefully at home when war suddenly broke out, forcing them to flee with the moon, along with mutants and armies.
"The Inhumans have only caused a handful of major incidents in the comics—" Connors pondered, then casually guessed, "Could it be that Black Bolt's brother used the Terrigen Mist to stir up some trouble?"
This refers to the "Terrigan Mist" incident in the comics. After mixing with Earth's atmosphere, the Terrigan Mist became a toxic substance to mutants, and most mutants contracted diseases after coming into contact with it.
Connors could only think of one event that could make mutants decide to join forces with Earth's military to wage war against the Inhumans.
He was just guessing, but to his surprise, Medusa's expression changed, and she stammered, "You actually knew?"
Seeing that Medusa had confirmed it, Connors couldn't help but start to feel a headache coming on. He was a little worried about whether the "Polaris" Lorna Dayne he was looking for was still alive.
