Chapter 262 Illegitimate Child
The fireplace in the mysterious house was still burning, and the scent of heather wafted through the air.
This taste also appeared on the tip of Morgan le Fay's tongue, in her mouth, and deep in her throat.
Her elegance was gone, leaving only a fox-wolf witch and her headdress scattered on the ground.
Having obtained the answer he sought—a method to reverse the Earth's impending doom—Connors waited until the witch had tidied herself up and returned to her former elegant medieval form before reclaiming the Mysterious House.
Upon returning to the Shadowlands, Morgan le Fay immediately scanned his surroundings like a frightened cat, only relaxing slightly after confirming that no one else was there.
"You will regret everything you have done today," Morgan Lefebvre said bitterly. She couldn't understand why she would suffer such torment simply for saying that "Connors cannot gain her trust."
"I'll come looking for you when I regret it," Connors said. "But for now, I'm already quite satisfied with just using the witch's words."
These words nearly enraged Morgan le Fay, but when she tried to summon her magic, she was dismayed to find that she had already exhausted most of it in the House of Mystery in order to resist him.
Clutching her skirt tightly with both hands, Morgan Lefebvre nearly burst into tears. When she looked up at Connors through her teary eyes, she found that he had already disappeared.
In Return to Earth III, Connors releases Ivy and Acely from the Mystery House.
The moment Ivy was released, she sidled up to Connors and sniffed his clothes like a puppy.
"Just as I thought!"
Next to her, Ashley was catching the raindrops of juice falling from the sky, looking up at little Ivy with a blank expression:
"What do you mean they're the same?"
She looked left and right, then at Ivy and then at Connors, and felt as if the two of them had some kind of secret code, as if they had reached some kind of agreement behind her back.
"It's nothing, just things that aren't suitable for children to know."
Connors said, preparing to use "teleportation" to take the two little girls back to Earth 3.
He moved through the Shadowlands, and when he returned to Earth at midnight, he was no longer on the street outside Lady Shangdu's psychic hut.
Instead, it appeared in an amusement park in New York.
Earth Zero is now only inhabited by children. The moment they leave the adults, they gather in amusement parks around the world. In the sky, Connors' "Reality Twist" provides them with drinks and food, preventing them from going hungry.
But not all children play without a care in the world; at least Connors saw several little girls huddled together, crying their hearts out.
Connors knew without even thinking why they were crying; they were looking for their mothers or wanting to go home. Connors had no intention of comforting every child in the world one by one.
He had no such intention, but others did.
Accompanied by a dark purple magical light, a small, thin figure descended from the sky, landing right near Connors.
This is a little boy wearing a dark blue robe, a wizard's hat on his head, and a shining stone hanging on his chest.
"—Isn't this the 'illegitimate child' card from the fifth divination card set of Lady Shangdu?"
Connors, however, had the "witch" Morgan le Fay spend half a day using her persuasive skills in the Shadowlands just to find out the whereabouts of this "bastard son" Mordred.
As a result, he had just returned to Earth Zero when he ran into this unlucky kid.
Using "telepathy" instantly, Connors shielded himself and the two little girls beside him, and withdrew the ability he was about to use.
"Mind transfer".
He planned to see what Mordred, the "illegitimate son" who had caused this incident, was up to.
Mordred descended from the sky and stood in front of the little girls who were crying with their heads in their hands, hands on hips, looking arrogant and domineering.
The little girls noticed someone in front of them. They all looked up, their eyes filled with tears, at Mordred. "Who are you?"
Mordred seemed to find it too childish to put his hands on his hips, so he changed to crossing his arms, his face still bearing an arrogant expression:
"Me? I am your king, and you are my subjects. This is my kingdom!"
The little girls were stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.
"We don't want to play house, we want to go home!"
Connors saw a hint of embarrassment on Mordred's face and laughed rather unkindly.
Mordred seemed to have never imagined that his grand scheme would cause all the adults in the world to disappear, turning the creation of his kingdom into a mere "playing house."
Somewhat annoyed, he lowered his arms and then removed the magic pendant from his chest, the Philosopher's Stone he had stolen from his mother, Morgan le Fay.
A burst of pinkish-purple light, identical to that of Morgan le Fay, bloomed and spread outwards from Mordred.
Wherever it went, the amusement park's stone bricks were transformed into paved with huge boulders, and the grass turned into a garden.
The amusement park's fountains have been transformed into a gruesome guillotine, the Ferris wheel into a giant crystal ball, and the castle remains a castle, only now it is covered with thorns, wings, pointed ears, and other shapes, resembling a vampire castle.
The moment the facilities were illuminated by the pinkish-purple light, they all changed their form, transforming into a medieval style. Even the children's clothes changed from bright and beautiful children's attire to the attire symbolizing servants.
Not only the buildings and facilities, but even the sky turned dark purple, and cracks appeared everywhere on the ground, with orange-red magma churning inside, as if the earth had suddenly transformed from a human world into hell.
Connors looked left and right, found the only chair present, and sat down, with the two "Poison Ivy Lolis" following closely behind.
We followed Connors to this place.
With the "telepathic" shield in place, Mordred couldn't find Connors, Ivy, and Ashley. He raised his arms and shouted:
"Welcome to my kingdom! Now, the king is about to ascend the throne!"
"Um, do you think it's childish?" Ashley peeked her little head out from Connors' right side and looked at little Ivy.
Little Ivy nodded with a serious expression:
"It's really childish. How did he manage to hold back his laughter?"
After they finished speaking, they both looked at Mordred, ready to watch the "king's" coronation ceremony.
Connors looked at Mordred curiously, only to find that after gathering all the children in the playground, Mordred walked straight toward where Connors was.
He saw me? Wait a minute? Connors, whose "telepathy" worked wonderfully, watched Mordred walk up to him, then turn to face the children who had followed him:
"Your king is about to ascend the throne, why hasn't anyone knelt yet?"
Connors:
?
"..."
He tilted his head to look at the chair beneath him, only to discover that the only chair he had found was the "throne" Mordred had mentioned.
To avoid the unfortunate child sitting on his lap, Connors quickly picked up the two little girls and got up.
"Telepathy" only blocks others' perception of you; it is not physical "phantomization."
"You! And you! You two are hereby appointed as the King's left and right bodyguards, from this day forward."
Mordred sat in a chair and began giving orders to the two fattest little boys in the group of children.
Connors stared blankly for a long time, then asked the two little girls he was holding:
"What's the difference between this and playing house?"
Little Ivy and Aisley rolled their eyes simultaneously.
"We're not children!"
Connors wasn't interested in this "magical house" scenario, nor were the two little girls. After a few glances, Connors started yawning and quickly used "teleportation" to take them straight to Earth 3.
This is now the "Lords World," where the former "Justice League" has retained the title "Lords of Justice," except that the people are still the same group that Connors knows.
The "Lord Bat" is inherently suspicious, but was sent to Arkham Asylum by Connors with just three sentences.
"Lord Superman," who was almost devoid of humanity, was awakened by Connors and restored to the sunny, boyish self.
She possesses a pair of beautiful, long legs and, together with Connors, casts Hades, the "Lord of the Underworld," into Hell.
In the "Lord of Justice" incident, "Lord Lightning" was personally retrieved from Hell by Connors.
He watched his childhood idol fade into oblivion, only to have him brought back as "Lord Green Lantern" by Connors himself two years later.
He collaborated with Connors during the "White Martian Invasion" incident and witnessed firsthand how the "Lord Martian Hunter" was given a middle parting on Earth.
During the battle on Apokolips, I witnessed firsthand how Connors exposed Darkseid's true nature and led them to a flawless victory.
"Lord Eagle Maiden".
Compared to the Justice League of Earth Zero, which has only a dozen or so members, and other hundreds or thousands of other superheroes, only the seven Justice Lords of Earth Three have the closest relationship with Connors.
