Chapter 224
If you were to become colleagues or classmates with "Invisible Woman," you might unlock many new ways to play by relying on her invisibility ability. However, at this moment, there are only Connors and "Invisible Woman" Susan in the Mysterious House, so this invisibility ability seems unnecessary.
Even so, the "Invisible Woman" still chose to remain invisible.
Connors looked at the clothes scattered by the bed and the human-shaped figure pressed out on the sheets with a sigh, then simply closed his eyes. "If your fiancé Reed knew you paid this price to get me to save him, do you think he'd turn green with rage?"
The Invisible Woman doesn't understand the cuckoldry joke, but she does understand what Connors means:
"I'm mentally prepared."
With slightly rapid breathing, the Invisible Woman, remaining invisible, removed Connors' trench coat.
Then her little mouth opened.
Gwen's apartment had been bombed by the Green Goblin with pumpkin bombs before. The fire that broke out there was extinguished by the torrential rain brought by Connors' Reality Warp, but the apartment was almost completely destroyed.
Gwen watched as the other families, who had been implicated and left homeless, stood shivering in the downpour.
Having learned to face everything after Connors used "Batman" as an example, Gwen stopped blaming herself and simply clenched her fists.
Even though Harry Osborn was once her friend, she could no longer stand by and watch him continue to run rampant in New York.
This time it only destroyed an apartment building, but what about next time? Will the lives of those tragically killed by the "Little Green Goblin" also be attributed to him?
Gwen's gaze was unusually firm. She first found a place to take shelter from the rain, then picked up a stone from the ground and began to write and draw on the wall:
"Connors mentioned the 'Group of Six,' and although I don't know what they refer to, I can speculate."
"The series of opponents we've encountered these past few days."
Gwen used stones to write the names "Kraven the Hunter," "Dr. Lizard," "Dr. Octopus," and "Little Green Goblin" on the wall.
"These are the four I've met. They definitely won't stay quietly in some corner of the city; they'll definitely make a comeback."
"Connors possesses many abilities I'm unaware of. Assuming his 'group of six' is accurate, we're still missing two people."
Gwen frowned in thought, images flashing through her mind:
"New York has no particularly unusual crime record recently, ruling out any hidden crimes—"
"Then the remaining two might be prisoners I defeated and imprisoned in the past."
"Horror? Vultures? Rhinoceros-men? Or tombstones?"
"I have to go to the prison no matter what."
Without hesitation, Gwen straightened her battle suit, which had been damaged in the fight, and flew towards the prison.
Inside the mysterious house, the "Invisible Woman" remained invisible, making Connors feel extremely awkward.
If the warm touch weren't real, he might have thought he was in the sun.
"Future 'Mrs. Reed,' it seems you're not very sincere to stay invisible like this," Connors said, provoking the "Invisible Woman."
The Invisible Woman gritted her teeth and pressed her lips tightly together, refusing to utter a sound no matter how fast Connors sped up.
Furthermore, because she was unwilling, "Invisible Woman" Susan's body was very stiff and she showed no sense of cooperation whatsoever, falling far short of Cindy and Selena.
After what Connors described as the most boring time of his life, he didn't even bother lighting a cigarette afterward, instead listening to the voice of the "Invisible Woman":
"Can you help me bring my fiancé back now?"
Connors looked at the transparent air and shook his head:
"Can't."
Susan, the "Invisible Woman," is getting anxious:
"Why? I've done all this—"
"It was 'Observer' Reed who made you do this, right? Did he think that by having you seduce me, I would obediently submit?" Connors interrupted Susan.
The "Invisible Woman" paused for a moment, then, realizing there was no need to lie, admitted:
"yes·.-·
"Cuckolding himself, Reed's a real man," Connors chuckled, speaking to the "invisible woman" who was gradually becoming visible in the air.
"The seduction attempt failed—should we try again?"
Susan, the "Invisible Woman," was already dressed, but her cheeks still flushed quickly.
This time, the "Invisible Woman" who offered herself up is no longer invisible, allowing Connors to manipulate her at will.
Connors also took the opportunity to clarify his thoughts:
"Mr. Fantastic Reed from the Gwen universe did not join the Reed Council, but he developed a new virus, which he called an opportunity for human evolution."
"We are now in an unknown universe, cut off from this world."
"The 'Observer' Reed knew of the existence of the 'Reed Council,' and the virus developed by 'Mr. Fantastic' Reed could potentially wreak havoc on the multiverse. Therefore, despite having issued an arrest warrant for him, they had no choice but to send 'Invisible Woman' to seduce him."
"In conclusion, Reed cheated on himself, and he can't solve the problem he created."
Connors spoke these words aloud, intentionally so that the Invisible Woman could hear them.
As for how much the other party could hear while under such intense impact, that was none of Connors' concern.
After saying these words, Connors silently muttered to himself:
"All of the above statements are overturned."
"The real 'Mr. Fantastic' Reed joined the Reed Council and was killed by himself."
"The 'Observer Reed' wants to kill himself using some kind of virus, which may be the result of research conducted by Reeds from other universes at the 'Observer's' behest."
"This aligns with what Reed and his ilk said in Earth-3: 'We will come back.'"
"It's certain that using 'Reality Warp' to reverse our identities in front of the omniscient and omnipotent 'Observer' won't be very effective, but I've also deduced the 'Observer's' plan, so that evens things out."
"Next, I'll find a way to force 'The Observer' Reed to show himself, relying on the 'Evil Six'."
With one final, powerful thrust, Connors patted the "Invisible Woman's" buttocks, instantly activating "Master of Lockpicking."
He didn't want to accidentally kill the Invisible Woman and have her give birth to Franklin.
In the New York prison, as Gwen watched the alarms blare and the guards hurriedly trying to maintain order, she knew that her adversaries would inevitably unite to fight against her.
Without hesitation, Gwen returned to the abandoned factory, where she found a searchlight and some scrap materials from the site.
After a brief period of activity, the searchlights were turned on, their beams shining directly onto the storm clouds, illuminating a spot of light that resembled a spider logo.
This was a signal she learned from Connors's "Batman" story, used to challenge someone to a duel.
Gwen stood quietly in the downpour. A dozen minutes later, two groups of people converged on her from two different corners of New York.
One group consists of "Green Goblin" and "Dr. Lizard," while the other group consists of "Dr. Octopus," "Electro-O," and "Kraven the Hunter."
As they stood not far from Gwen, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, accompanied by laughter, and a vulture dressed in its flight suit swooped down, landing heavily behind Gwen.
