"Can anyone call the Avengers and tell them they've been eliminated?"
"The gods from the universe have acknowledged that Earth is under the protection of the 'Endangered Squad,' and they can disband now."
"Laser Eyes" said loudly and confidently.
Inside the circular conference room on Krakoa Island, almost everyone in the "Endangered Team" wore an expression of excitement.
Aside from the three genuine "Omega-level" mutants, "Magneto" Erik and Hope, and "Storm" Ororo, who have relaxed skin.
Although the joy of persuading the Celestials to leave had somewhat clouded their judgment, now back in this mutant utopia, the three of them felt increasingly uneasy. Magneto, Erik, even bluntly stated:
"A dozen or so 'gods' from across the universe traveled countless light-years to Earth just to stand there for a short while and listen to our boastful speech?"
"Hope, have you found anything?" Storm Ororo asked, looking at Hope.
Hope, with her short red hair, shook her head and turned her gaze to Connors.
If we were to name one person among the group who acted strangely when facing the "Celestials," it would only be Connors.
But his abnormal behavior at that time was no different from being terrified; he neither made any unnecessary movements nor uttered a single word.
Although Hope had doubts, he couldn't find direct evidence linking the Celestials' departure to Connors.
"Hopefully, this time it's 'luck' protecting us."
After thinking for a long time, Hope connected the departure of the "Celestials" with the lucky ability he had copied from "Domino".
"I need to speak with the 'Sky Sword Bureau'."
"Laser Eyes" said, and the female robot "Dangerous Realm" next to him immediately started a communication channel.
"Did you see that? I told you long ago that with four 'Omega-level' mutants, we can solve this problem."
He tried to speak in a calm tone, but at the end of his sentence he couldn't help but raise his voice, clearly feeling extremely pleased with himself.
"I think you guys had better adjust your condition quickly. Magneto is exhausted, the White Queen has lost an arm, and Colossus is maintaining the condition of Juggernaut. Your situation is not optimistic."
The person in charge of contacting Earth for the "Heavenly Sword Bureau" appeared to be a woman, speaking in a completely flat voice.
After hanging up the call with "Sky Sword Bureau," "Laser Eyes" looked at "White Queen" and "Colossus," who were in the most serious situations.
"Are any of the newcomers to Utopia possessing healing-related abilities?"
"Cyclops" looked at "Storm" and asked.
Storm thought for a moment and decisively shook her head:
"No. The only way to heal Emma the White Queen's severed arm right now is through the medical skills of Dr. Divine Retribution."
"Or we could go find that 'Lizard Doctor,' isn't he always researching the technology of limb regeneration?" suggested Iliana, the "Ghost."
"Namor's kingdom has herbs, but they cannot be used to treat a severed arm; they can only be used to stop bleeding," Namor added.
Emma Watson, the "White Queen," showed no expression on her diamond-like face.
"But the first question is, does anyone remember where I discarded my severed arms?"
The members of the "Endangered Team" exchanged glances and shook their heads.
Suddenly, "The Secret Guest" slapped her forehead; she remembered:
"When I brought back Colossus, who had been knocked away by the metal bug, I saw Locksmith Connors holding Emma's severed arm—"
brush!
All eyes immediately turned to Connors, especially lingering on his empty hands for a moment.
"Laser Eyes" asked tentatively:
"Where is the missing arm of the 'Locksmith'—the 'White Queen'?"
He was terrified that Connors might suddenly say, "It's lost."
The others also stared at Connors, waiting for his reply.
Fortunately, Connors did not throw away the severed arms, but placed them in his secret house.
He reached into the mysterious house and pulled the two diamond-like arms out, slamming them onto the table with a thud.
"Don't be so nervous. I couldn't possibly embezzle both of these diamond arms. If I were to embezzle, it would be the bigger one."
He was referring to Emma Watson, who still maintains her diamond-like appearance and exudes an air of nobility, known as the "White Queen."
Seeing that the meeting room was about to erupt into another heated discussion about "how to restore the severed arm," Connors quickly picked up the severed arm again and plopped down next to "The White Queen" Emma:
"What happens next is going to be a little strange, don't be nervous."
Upon hearing this, the "White Queen," who hadn't been nervous before, became tense, and her voice trembled slightly.
"What do you want to do?"
Connors's title is "Locksmith," and even though this guy is supposedly able to open "locks" in the conceptual sense, Emma, the "White Queen," cannot imagine how she could use such an ability to heal her severed arm.
"Are you sure?" Magneto stared intently at Connors. Exhausted from maintaining the body of the Celestial, he had wanted to rest for a while, but he couldn't help but perk up at this moment.
He wanted to see if Connors, whom he himself had certified as an "Omega-level" mutant, truly lived up to his name.
The "Wonder Woman" from Earth Zero had never seen Connors injured, nor had she ever seen him heal others, and now her eyes were sparkling with curiosity.
The "Lady of Earth 3" seemed thoughtful. When she first met Connors, he wasn't this strong yet. She had personally witnessed him use his healing abilities on Faust, a dark sorcerer who had been cursed by Hades, the "King of the Underworld."
But when it comes to more specific details, she knows nothing.
"Don't be surprised no matter what happens later, it's just me using the 'Locksmith' ability." Connors started by spouting nonsense.
Before the "Endangered Team" could respond, Connors placed a hand on Emma the White Queen's shoulder.
The "Master of Lockpicking" forcibly deactivated the other party's diamond transformation, causing their body to revert to its original state of wearing a white bikini with too little fabric to serve as a mask.
Blood gushed out from the severed arm, but Connors ignored the gasps of the mutants around him and quickly cast "Healing Magic".
"What kind of 'lock' is this?"
"Magneto" Erik's pupils dilated; he felt he simply couldn't comprehend the power Connors was currently wielding.
Then, the blood stopped flowing from Emma's severed arms, and as the arms were reattached to the broken ends, something miraculous happened.
The muscle tissue at the fracture site moved on its own, the blood vessels reconnected themselves, and even the bones seemed to have a sense of self.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the White Queen's severed arm was completely healed.
Just as Emma, the "White Queen," was overjoyed and tentatively flicked her fingers, finding no stiffness whatsoever, as if her arms had never been broken, she heard the "Endangered Team's" exclamation once again.
With a "thud," the White Queen's severed arm was restored, while Connors' arms were severed.
"He actually paid the price of severing both his arms to heal me?!"
Emma, the "White Queen," was instantly overwhelmed with complex emotions, and her gaze toward Connors was now devoid of any wariness.
