Chapter 376 helps in controlling power.
Facing a being like "Triple Demon," whose combat power was almost on par with Darkseid, Connors dared not hold back and directly left the "Active Life Equation" in Cassie's body.
While not among the top-tier fighters in "Teen Titans," with Wonder Boy, Flash Boy, and Raven among the formidable contenders above her, Wonder Girl Cassie is generally not a primary fighter.
But now she not only fully possesses the "Tranquil Armor," but also the "Active Life Equation" within her body. Connors believes that even if Casey and Wonder Woman Diana were to fight, it's hard to say who would win.
The "Active Life Equation," intended to deal with the "Anti-Monitors," certainly couldn't be handed over to a young girl so hastily. Connors decided to take some measures.
He reviewed all the abilities he possessed. Besides the "Dream Relics" that could directly modify memories and telepathy, Connors had another ability that he hadn't used much since acquiring it:
"curse"
[Curse: Inflicts negative effects on the opponent, including but not limited to misfortune, hunger, cold, exhaustion, poisoning, mental confusion, and all other negative factors.]
All negative factors can be categorized under the ability of "curse," and being controlled by oneself is one of them.
By the time Connors returned to that primordial world from the subconscious of the magical girl Cassie, the "curse" had already taken effect.
"The moment the Silent Armor was driven into my body, I knew I was doomed."
Cassie, sitting at one end of a long, plush sofa, began to speak:
"This armor is for those who are strong enough to take on the pressure and responsibility of becoming guardians, and I am not a suitable choice."
Supergirl Cara asked curiously:
"Guardians? Guardians of whom?"
"I have a guess, but I dare not say his name," said the magical girl Cassie.
"There's nothing I'm afraid to say, it's just 'Sangoku Demon'," Connors said.
The name made Cassie stiffen for a moment, and she instinctively clutched her head, but nothing happened.
"Spark" Kellian noticed her unusual behavior and quickly asked with concern:
"Cassie, are you alright?"
The magical girl Cassie hesitated, then lowered her hands, staring intently at the lines on her palms:
"Strange, I used to get a splitting headache just thinking about this name, what's wrong with me today?"
She looked at Connors again, her eyes filled with even deeper doubt:
"Not only that, ever since I was possessed by the Silent Armor, I have been tormented by this armor almost every day. Once my mind relaxes, it will take control of me."
"This prevents me from dating like other people, from sleeping too soundly, and even from crying out loud when a close friend passes away."
Connors knew what he had to say:
"Cassie, do you believe me?"
The amazing girl Cassie nodded:
I trust you completely.
"Spark" Corian tilted her head to the side, not understanding why the magical girl Casey believed Connors so readily.
Connors was well aware of this; his "curse" against the magical girl Cassie was "unreserved trust"—a method that would neither harm her nor prevent the "Active Life Equation" from remaining under her control.
"You'll no longer suffer from the armor's torment, and you can do whatever you want freely," Connors said. "As for the 'Triple Demon' issue, I'm going to go see what's going on."
Connors was eager to get to know the gossip about "Trigon," as it was a rare opportunity to meet this top-tier character in the DC Universe, but Wonder Girl Casey hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Connors sat still on the sofa, wanting to see what Cassie was going to do.
He had previously taken a sofa from the Mystery House and sat in the middle, with Supergirl Cara next to him.
The magical girl Cassie seemed a little shy and sat in the corner, while the alien princess "Starfire" also sat in the corner to keep her company.
It's no wonder Cassie is shy. As someone who is always on edge and never dares to relax, who has never been in a relationship, and who probably doesn't even interact much with anyone other than the members of the "Teen Titans," she suddenly has 100% trust in Connors because of the "curse."
She was in a state similar to a young girl experiencing her first love, feeling both a desire to explore Connors and a sense of distance as they were still strangers.
"Um, can I speak with you alone for a few minutes?"
The amazing girl Cassie finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"Spark" Corian looked at Cassie blankly. She remembered that Cassie never even spent time alone with Superboy or Red Robin.
"That's progress, at least she's become more cheerful," Corianda muttered to herself.
However, as she watched Connors grab the hand of the magical girl Cassie and the two of them disappear from the spot, "Spark" Corianda felt a pang of jealousy.
Inside the mysterious house, Connors sat facing the magical girl Cassie and asked:
"What are you trying to say?"
The magical girl Cassie looked somewhat at a loss, and even Connors's emotionless words made her heart pound.
Connors is currently someone Cassie considers "a stranger but someone she trusts completely," and the conflict between these two emotions leaves Cassie feeling somewhat lost and helpless.
"I...I've heard Diana mention you," Cassie said softly, her head bowed.
"Luckily, this is my private territory, and my senses are extremely sharp, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to hear what you said," Connors laughed. "Don't be nervous, what did Diana mention about me?"
Unlike the "Lady of the Lords" from Earth-3 who ventured out alone, the "Wonder Woman" from Earth-Zero had her own little sidekick, the Wonder Girl Cassie.
"She said your abilities are the most unfathomable to her so far. You don't need anyone to protect you, but you do need someone to help you share the pressure."
Cassie said things that left Connors completely baffled, and then she lowered her head even further.
Connors scratched his head, wondering what pressure he was under. How come he didn't know?
After thinking for a long time, he figured it was probably because Diana always appeared to be in control in front of Wonder Woman, and because she was constantly stirring up trouble and watching the drama unfold in order to fight against the Anti-Monitors, that she had the illusion that she was under a lot of pressure.
Connors's thoughtful, scratching-headed expression had a different meaning in the eyes of the magical girl Cassie; she was even more certain that this guy, whose strength seemed to have no upper limit, was being weighed down by a mountain.
"Diana certainly didn't say anything like 'With great power comes great responsibility' to you, did she?" Connors teased.
"no."
Connors breathed a sigh of relief.
"But she said it would be best to spend a night with you if the opportunity arose, as it would help me control my own power." Cassie said this as if she wanted to hide her head under the table.
Connors swore that this part was not included in his "curse" against Cassie.
