Chapter 87 Avoidance is not as good as joining

"?"

A look of confusion appeared on Om's face, but he didn't have time to think about it and pushed off with his feet.

But perhaps he was too hasty, or perhaps he used too much force, the ice beneath his feet suddenly broke, and he fell down.

Fortunately, Om reacted quickly, grabbing the still intact ice surface with his fingertips.

Connors peered down and found that below was a bottomless abyss.

"Save me, brother!" Om's fingers slid down slowly, his expression shifting from smugness to terror. "Please!"

"Aquaman" Arthur stood in front of Orm, staring at him silently for a long time before bending down.

Before Orm could even form a smile, he was startled to find that Aquaman Arthur's hand wasn't reaching for him, but rather for the trident that had fallen to the ground.

"I believe I deserve it."

Arthur's face was expressionless; his words were a response to Orm's earlier statement, "You are not worthy of the throne."

As Om's fingertips slid, they completely detached from the ice, plummeting downwards with a drawn-out thud.

"No VN"

"The mouth still echoes." Connors peered again at the rapidly falling Om.

"Aquaman" Arthur, expressionless, held his trident and looked at Connors:

"Is Mera's body still there?"

"They should be there," Connors replied. "They're still inside the palace."

After he poisoned Meila, he ignored her.

"I will throw her body into the sea to feed the fish."

After Arthur finished speaking, he walked towards the thermal reactor device.

"I'm taking the uranium back to Earth," Batman said.

"That was originally yours," Arthur said without any objection.

Upon returning to the palace, the Atlantean soldiers were dismissed again.

Those generals who were misled by Orm and led the charge were mercilessly executed by Arthur, while several other generals who had been imprisoned by Orm and refused to submit were released.

Mera, the "Queen of the Sea," had her body thrown into the trench, feeding the monsters lurking beneath the surface.

However, the former queen's death was not only gruesome, but also covered in rags, with various plants strangely growing on her body. [Today's Gossip: The Altered Future, Civil War in Atlantis]

[Reward for watching the drama: Riding the waves]

【Riding the Waves: Extremely fast speed in water, plus the ability to breathe underwater】

This time, not only was there little spectacle to be had, failing to satisfy the visual cravings, but the number of people actually participating was also pitifully small.

Connors wasn't very satisfied with this gossip.

If it weren't for the involvement of four superheroes, including "Superman" Clark, and the unexpected emergence of a "changed future" event due to his own verbal sparring, Connors estimated that the reward given by the system would have been even lower.

On the one hand, he didn't want to stay in Atlantis any longer, and on the other hand, Connors wanted to test his newly acquired abilities, so he decisively bid farewell to Clark and the others.

Once in the water, Connors understood just how fast the "riding the waves" reward he received truly was.

It took Connors less than three hours to travel from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean where Atlantis is located to New York.

And this is only because Connors couldn't speed things up again due to his physical limitations; otherwise, the time could have been shortened even further.

And some time was spent admiring the scenery in the sea. The only regret was that Connors did not see any mermaids, whether in Atlantis or elsewhere.

It was early morning when I left Atlantis, and now it's almost dawn.

At the port of New York, Connors had barely stepped ashore when Cindy "Spider Silk" sensed his arrival.

Before Connors could even dry his wet clothes, Cindy was already standing in front of him.

(Cindy Muen, Spider Silk)

Although it had been a while since we last met, Cindy "Spider Silk" looked exactly the same as before, still wearing her signature black, red and white battle suit and a red mask covering her face.

Her graceful figure couldn't be completely concealed even by her battle suit, and her obscured face showed no expression whatsoever.

But from Cindy's arched eyebrows and her eyes brimming with spring water, Connors could deeply sense just how delighted she was by his arrival.

So Cindy Moon took him to the sky.

While in the air, Cindy impatiently wrapped her legs around Connors' waist.

"So eager?" Connors laughed as he looked at Cindy, who was shooting out spider silk with one hand and holding him with the other.

Cindy remained as taciturn as before, but her rapid breathing clearly replaced her answer.

Before, I might not have been able to do it, but now, with the combined abilities of "precise control," "master pilot," and "human limits," I can do it in the air too—

Connors, not slowing down his actions, reached out and groped around for a while, then wondered:

"Is your combat suit a one-piece?"

He couldn't very well just strip Cindy Moon of her "Spider Silk" costume and let this quiet girl run naked and fly around New York.

Seemingly too hasty, Cindy subconsciously overlooked this point. At this moment, the two were still flying high in the sky above New York. Upon hearing these words, even their rapid breathing paused for a moment.

But just two seconds later, a short, gentle voice, like a warm spring breeze, but clearly urgent, rang out from beneath Cindy Moon's mask:

"Tear it open."

Without hesitation, Connors grabbed the suit from both sides with his hands and ripped it open.

The mortise and tenon joint truly deserves to be called a great invention of ancient Chinese craftsmen, Connors thought to himself with heartfelt admiration.

After "Black Widow" Natasha brought Cindy to New York, she did not keep Cindy with Reed to cooperate with the experiments, as Connors had imagined.

To Connors' surprise, she had her own place to live in New York.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't her own residence, but rather a shared home with "Black Widow" Natasha—a double-room apartment on the 30th floor.

When the two, still connected, opened a window from the exterior wall of the high-rise building and swung into the apartment, "Black Widow"...

Natasha was also there.

"Connors?"

Natasha clearly hadn't forgotten the strangely skilled man she encountered in Gotham so quickly, but she didn't expect to meet him again so soon.

She was about to get up from the sofa to give a symbolic handshake or hug, but her background as a secret agent quickly alerted her to something amiss.

Connors and "Spider Silk" Cindy Moon....:

"Perhaps I should avoid this area?"

Natasha was somewhat surprised by what she saw, but she didn't show any particular surprise; she simply turned her head away slightly.

Connors recalled the character design of "Black Widow" in the comics....:

(Natasha, Black Widow)
