Chapter 227 Zombie Hero
Connors could "see" Reed, the "observer," from beginning to end.
The rewards given by the gossip system are often seemingly ordinary abilities, but they are surprisingly effective in practice, such as "Athena's Vision".
This item, initially described as being the same as the one worn by Wonder Woman Diana and possessing the ability to see through illusions, has had its ability enhanced due to Connors's overall physical attributes.
It has been elevated to the point where Connors can see "observers" who do not belong to the real dimension. (Note: The setting has been drastically altered.)
Connors has been insisting on having the "Observer" appear because he currently lacks the ability to enter other dimensions and cannot actively make the "Observer" Reed appear.
However, when the battle between the "Evil Six" and Gwen began, Reed the Observer was observing everything from his vantage point as usual when he was caught off guard by Craven the Hunter, who was thrown up by Connors. The Observer's calm mind was shaken, and Connors decisively used the "Active Life Equation".
The "Active Life Equation," pried from Darkseid, spun in Connors's hand like a chaotic sphere, dragging down Reed, the "Observer," who was residing in space and whose body was as large as a planet.
The closer the distance, the smaller Reed the "Observer" becomes. When he breaks through the atmosphere and arrives in reality from another dimension, he becomes a figure less than two meters tall, with a head and shoulders the same width, wearing a blue robe.
"Oh ho, the all-knowing and all-powerful 'Observer' probably never imagined that I went to such lengths to orchestrate 'Gwen vs. the Evil Six,' and even transformed 'Hunter' Kraven into that form, all just to stir up your emotions and force you to reveal yourself, right?"
Connors looked at Reed the "Observer" and smiled.
"The 'Reed Council' will still make a comeback." "Observer" Reed looked at Connors expressionlessly.
Spider-Gwen watched Reed, the "observer" who had fallen from the sky, her curiosity piqued:
"who is he?"
"It's the guy who issued arrest warrants for me all over the world. He's not the 'Fantastic Four,' but 'The Watcher,' Reed," Connors explained to Gwen.
Taking advantage of the pause in their conversation, he released the "Invisible Woman," who was now dressed, from the "Mystery House," and then peered towards...
The observer, Reed, looked up at his head:
"Why hasn't it turned green?"
"Observer" Reed remained expressionless, as if he hadn't done the deed of sending his fiancée away, his cataract-like eyes fixed on Connors:
"Connors, the 'Watcher,' you've been tricked."
Connors looked at Reed, the "Observer," with a puzzled expression.
"Hunter" Craven returned from space fully armed. He excitedly waved his lizard tail and charged toward "Observer" Reed, only to be swatted away by the latter.
Then, the scene that Connors had already witnessed twice appeared again:
A head with a face full of curiosity and graying temples poked its head out from the air and glanced at him.
The head is still that of "Mr. Fantastic" Reed, but this time it's a little different.
Mr. Fantastic Reed's skin turned grayish-green, the muscles on his cheeks peeled off, his bulging eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body looked dry and rotten.
Rather than calling this "Mr. Fantastic," it's more accurate to describe it as a corpse that should have been rotting long ago.
The body was looking at Connors with a curious gaze, leaving him completely bewildered.
"You 'Reed' researchers didn't develop this kind of virus to fight me, did you? A zombie virus?"
A smug look seemed to appear on Reed's face as the "Observer":
"No, the virus is not a weapon to be used against you."
He grabbed the portal next to the zombie Reed's head with both hands, then turned it around and framed Connors and Gwen inside. "They are."
""who are they?"
Gwen and Connors strolled leisurely along the beach, watching the sunset. Gwen asked curiously.
"I don't know—could 'Observer' Reed be referring to those zombie heroes?"
"But we haven't seen a single person yet. Does the 'Observer' think these ordinary zombies are enough to kill me?"
Connors pointed to the "mourning households" following not far behind him.
These are all ordinary people turned into zombies. Connors and Gwen have been here for over an hour, and apart from killing "Zombie Reed" as soon as they arrived, they haven't seen any other superheroes.
These ordinary zombies posed almost no threat to Connors. Both the "Biofield" and the "Mysterious House" could create an open area around Connors, making it impossible for these zombies to get close.
"When can we go back? I don't want Dad to worry," Gwen asked. "And because of those pumpkin bombs, my apartment was destroyed, and I need to go see the landlady too."
"You can go back anytime." Connors tested his "mother box" and "Omega effect" and found that they could both be used normally.
"Really? Then I won't go back." Gwen's words elicited a "I knew it" look from Connors. "This is my first time on another Earth."
"They're all just ordinary people turned zombies, that's boring," Connors said.
He turned off "reality distortion," normalizing the distance between himself and the mourners following behind him.
The zombies swarmed forward, and Gwen instinctively felt a chill run down her spine, leaping into the air.
But Connors didn't hide. Instead, he stood still and waited for the mourners to arrive. Then he reached out and swiped at the sand in front of him, making a sand wall stand up.
Then, around this sand wall, more and more sand walls of varying lengths and directions rose up from the ground, surrounding the zombies with the help of "reality distortion," forming a huge maze.
The zombies were trapped in the maze, and finally, things were quiet behind Connors.
"What is your purpose in doing this—" Gwen squatted on the maze wall, looking confused.
After walking on the beach for half a day, Connors would occasionally create mazes and traps to ensnare the zombies.
Gwen didn't understand. She had asked Connors several times before, but he hadn't answered. Now she couldn't help but wonder.
"They can't get out, and they can't die. Don't you think that's a bit cruel to them?" Connors asked.
Gwen frowned:
"We've been in this world for an hour now. We've all seen these zombies; they've lost their humanity and become perpetually hungry walking corpses." Connors nodded.
"Okay, it seems you're mentally prepared."
Grabbing Gwen by the arm, Connors leaped onto the suddenly appearing black smoke warhorse and galloped toward New York on this planet.
A gladiatorial contest is being held there, a human-hosted battle between zombies, with one of the contestants being "Zombie Spider-Man" Peter Parker and his opponent being the zombie Aunt May.
