Chapter 271 Reward for Eating Melon: Allure
Aside from the fact that Barry Allen, the "Lord of Lightning" from Earth-3, looks exactly like the TV version, which is why Connors quickly became buddies with him after arriving on Earth-3.
Other "superheroes" or "supervillains" are more or less different from those in comics or movies due to factors such as lifestyle and living environment.
Connors stared blankly at the dark red-haired soldier who had betrayed the castle's guards and opened the gates to welcome the enemy. He didn't realize who this was until he heard "The Witch" Morgan le Fay's words:
"Jason Brad, thanks to you opening the city gates from the inside, my soldiers were spared heavy casualties."
Tell me, what do you want? I will grant you one wish.
Jason Brad knelt on one knee, looking at "The Witch" Morgan le Fay with an almost pious gaze, a look Connors had seen in the eyes of some pure-love warriors before his transmigration.
"King Arthur thought the walls could separate us, but Morgan le Fay, your beauty has completely captured my heart, and I am willing to give everything for you!"
"How I long to possess you, to possess you, this one and only witch in the world, no, an angel!"
Jason Brad stretched out his hands, seemingly trying to grab the hands of Morgan Leffe, the "witch" standing in front of him.
Connors silently used "Recombination" to create a two-seater rattan chair and lay down on it, with the two little girls, Aisley and Ivy, on either side.
He took out a handful of sunflower seeds and distributed them to the two little girls, then looked curiously at Morgan Lefebvre, Jason Brad, and Mordred, who looked impatient.
"I see, so your wish is to gain my love, is that right?"
Morgan le Fay's mystique dissipated somewhat, and even with a gold mask on, she exuded genuine aristocratic elegance.
"No problem, Jason."
She offered one hand to Jason Brad, who was kneeling on one knee, and he happily accepted Morgan Leffe's jade-like hand.
But he was clearly too naive. Even though he betrayed his companions and sold out the "King Arthur" he was protecting, he still did not truly win over Morgan le Fay.
The medieval witch's elegant demeanor vanished, replaced by a mysterious aura unique to "witches." The fingertips she extended to Jason Brad were suddenly tinged with a deep blue hue, and she lightly slid them across his face.
A long gash immediately appeared on Jason Brad's face, and blood quickly flowed out and congealed.
Centered on the wound, his blood vessels began to swell, turn blue, and become visible on his skin, while the skin itself began to ulcerate rapidly.
Just then, a whole troop of soldiers emerged from the depths of the castle. Their first sights were the open city gate and Morgan Lefebvre, followed by Jason Brad's festering skin.
"We've been betrayed!"
"For the glory of King Arthur!"
"Why! Jason? Why!"
The moment the attacking and defending soldiers clashed, blood splattered everywhere, and corpses collapsed helplessly to the ground.
"Why?" Jason Brad asked Morgan Leffy with a sorrowful expression.
Morgan Lefebvre didn't even glance at him, leading Mordred and the soldiers into the castle.
Connors glanced at the two little girls leisurely eating raw sunflower seeds and hesitated for a moment whether to follow Morgan Lefebvre to watch the battle or stay and see if Jason was alive or dead.
Just then, the world, which was originally brightly colored, was suddenly shrouded in a layer of blood, and an old man in a white robe appeared in this blood-red landscape.
"Are you satisfied now, you demon? You betrayed your own companions, handing over the castle that you had to protect with your life to that witch, and she didn't even give you a second glance."
Jason Brad's body was mostly decaying, but he was still able to speak:
"You wouldn't understand, Merlin. You'll never comprehend what love means to mortals."
Upon hearing this, everyone—from the medieval archmage named Merlin to Connors, and even the two little girls—had strange expressions.
Connors was somewhat puzzled:
"Is this what they call being love-struck?"
"What is a love-struck brain?" Little Ivy asked curiously from the side.
"They're those fools who get blinded by love and lose their minds, like this guy in front of me." Connors pointed at Jason Brand.
"He calls this old man 'Merlin'? Is he the legendary magician?"
Little Aisley's focus was on how Jason Brand addressed the old man.
Connors nodded to her again:
"yes-"
He paused mid-sentence, then began to use his abilities.
Since the old man in front of them was "Archmage Merlin," the blood-red color around them seemed to indicate that he was using magic.
In this illusory "dream," can I use "magic affinity" to learn the magic he possesses?
Without hesitation, Connors activated "Magic Affinity" and tried his best to perceive everything around him.
At that moment, "Merlin the Archmage" seemed to sense Jason Brand's incorrigibility, and his beard bristled with rage.
"You are cursed, Jason! You will be given endless lives to atone for your sins; your evil deeds have sold your soul."
You will become a demon, a being forever despised!
Little Ivy started scratching her head. She felt a little itchy on her little head and wondered if it meant her brain was starting to grow.
"—Turning an ordinary person on the verge of death from poisoning into an immortal demon? Is this punishment or a reward?"
"I think it's a reward," Ashley chimed in.
Connors was not involved in the two little girls' discussion at the moment; he was focused on absorbing the magical abilities of "Grand Wizard Merlin".
In order to realize his idea in one fell swoop, Connors also used the "Dream Relic" to enhance the effect of "Magical Affinity".
Following Strange's "Vishanti White Magic" and Wanda's "Chaos Magic," Connors successfully mastered a third type of magic.
However, when he came out of his state of complete concentration, the castle he was in had vanished, and besides the two little girls, there was only Jason Brand, who seemed to be wandering, or rather, "the devil" Itrigan.

[Allure: It will always be captivating to any creature, regardless of age or race.]
In the dream, the "demon" Itrigan begins his centuries-long path of redemption, while Connors stares dumbfounded at his gossip-watching system:
"Wait, wait? I've become a succubus?"
