Chapter 297 Master Lockpicker
"It has nothing to do with me."
Connors knew about Cyclops's out-of-control situation before Diana did, but he didn't care.
Anyway, he came to this world to watch the drama unfold, and the fact that he is "a newly minted Omega-level mutant" should be enough to attract the attention of Reed, who may exist in this world as "Mr. Fantastic".
Not to mention the stalker "Watchers" in the Marvel Universe.
By using the out-of-control "Laser Eyes," Connors achieved three goals at once.
He chatted and laughed with the two Dianas beside him under this out-of-control ray, but the "Cyclops" opposite him was not so good.
Like a flooded levee, "Laser Eyes'" eyes could barely keep up with the increasingly violent rays. His eye sockets were forcibly stretched open, and the blood evaporated instantly before it could even flow out.
The cracks around his eyes were charred black by the intense heat of the rays, and a perfectly healthy young man suddenly developed large dark circles under his eyes.
That was secondary. As the mutants around the testing site were carried away by Psylocke, Domino, and Magik, the land began to turn scorched yellow and seemed to be crystallizing further.
While the metal walls weren't melting, their surface temperatures were frighteningly high; an ordinary person would likely have their skin burned off instantly if they simply touched them.
Just as Connors remained unmoved, and "Cyclops" was unable to control himself from closing his eyes, the drizzle suddenly turned into a torrential downpour.
Amidst lightning and thunder, with her long white hair fluttering in the wind, Storm, dressed in a strapless battle suit and almost flawless except for her slightly dark skin, descended from the sky once again.
This time she didn't come alone; she brought someone else with her.
Compared to Storm's black and gold-trimmed battle suit, the person she brought was dressed in a white robe with long, light-gold hair draped over his shoulders.
"It's up to you, Emma."
Storm landed slowly and spoke to the woman she had brought with her.
The woman with long, light golden hair and a white robe nodded and slowly walked towards Connors.
As she moved, the woman named Emma raised her hands in front of her and unbuttoned her white robe, revealing a bikini underneath.
She was covered by an airtight robe, exuding a cool and aloof aura, but underneath the robe was a seductive bikini. This contrast even made Connors give her a thumbs up.
The two Amazonian princesses were initially looking at this new face with curiosity, wondering what methods he planned to use to stop "Cyclops" from going berserk.
When they saw Emma take off her robe and walk towards them in a barely-there bikini, swaying her hips, their pretty faces immediately darkened:
"What is she trying to do?!"
Connors looked at Emma, who had walked up to him, with a puzzled expression. Judging from her attire and her boldness in taking off her clothes as soon as they met, she was clearly "The White Queen" Emma Grace Frost.
"I've contacted Professor Charles. He's worried you might not be able to withstand Cyclops's berserk rays, so he wants me to take your place."
"But now it seems you don't need my help at all?"
Emma Grace, the "White Queen," looked at Connors with curiosity, slowly reaching out a hand toward the red ray.
As her hand gradually approached the ray, her originally human skin rapidly became translucent, like a diamond.
The rays that other mutants feared as a major threat seemed to be nothing more than a tickle to her.
When she removed her hand from the rays, Connors found that the hand had returned to its human form without any damage.
"Since you don't need my help, please wait a few minutes. Professor Charles is gathering some flying mutants."
Transport "Laser Eye" to Nemo Point.
"Point Nemo" is the point in the ocean farthest from land, located in the South Pacific Ocean.
Connors was unaware of this knowledge; it was the knowledgeable "Lady of the House" who told him.
The "White Queen" not only makes her body as clear and translucent as a diamond, but even her voice has a clear and bright quality that is exceptionally pleasant to listen to.
But Connors felt it was unnecessary to go through all that trouble:
"Is it enough to just make 'Laser Eyes' close his eyes? Won't he just burst his own head?"
"No, his eyes are just channels; the rays will automatically shut off when he closes them," the "White Queen" explained, giving Connors a strange look.
Could this newly emerged mutant, suspected to be of "Omega" level, not only have a tough body but also other special abilities?
The White Queen's mind raced, and she felt that her guess was correct, because she herself was a mutant who possessed both the ability to "diamondize" and "telepathy".
Ignoring the "White Queen," whose clothes were barely enough to make a mask, Connors strode toward "Laser Eyes."
The nearby Storm was a little nervous:
"Wait, stopping 'Laser Eye' depends on your own safety. Are you sure you can handle that?"
brush!
Connors raised his hand and poked "Cyclops's" eyes with two fingers, causing him to immediately close his eyes, which were unable to close due to his powers going out of control. The rampaging rays in the air also disappeared without a trace.
"Well, what's there to be sure about?" Connors then replied to Storm.
As soon as "Laser Eyes" closed his eyes, several medical staff suddenly appeared out of nowhere, carrying a stretcher and rushing out. One of them covered "Laser Eyes" Scott's eyes with a strip of cloth, while the others lifted him onto the stretcher and ran away in a flash.
It took less than five seconds from start to finish, leaving Connors dumbfounded.
The rain was pouring down. Connors didn't deliberately ask "Black Smoke" to shield him from the rain, but "Storm" still thoughtfully controlled the wind and rain so that they wouldn't fall on Connors.
"Now that this episode is over, I will test your abilities," Storm said as she walked gracefully up to Connors.
"More tests?" Connors asked, puzzled. "Yes, besides your indestructible body, do you have any other abilities? I noticed that your clothes didn't show any burn marks at all."
As Storm spoke, she reached out and touched Connors's shirt.
Connors wanted to go along with it and say that his ability was just "physical toughness," but that couldn't explain why his clothes could withstand rays powerful enough to destroy a city.
He thought for a moment, then finally uttered the almost elaborate term "master of lock picking":
"My ability is to pick locks."
The abilities rewarded by the gossip system were all incredibly powerful, but Connors only chose the most abstract one.
Storm blinked, and for a moment she even wondered if there was something wrong with her ears:
"Wait, sorry, I didn't hear you. Could you repeat that?"
Before Connors could answer, the two "Dianas" walked over and took his arms, one on each side, seemingly asserting their ownership over "Storm" who had just touched Connors.
He said his ability was "lock picking."
Storm heard him clearly this time. Her mind wasn't on the inexplicable hostility from the two valiant female warriors before her, but rather on repeating with a look of utter disbelief:
"Lock picking? Omega-level lock picking?"
"Yes, that's why I call myself the 'Master Lockpicker'." Connors said with an air of self-righteousness.
