Chapter 260 Not used to speaking with head tilted back
Connors used "Precision Manipulation" to make the black smoke continuously devour Morgan le Fay's magical shield, thereby depleting the opponent's magic power.
"Wait! 'Outsider'! Don't kill her!"
"Batman" shouted, worried that Connors would kill the mysterious guy in one go—after all, from his perspective, he could only see Connors fighting against a large mass of distorted lines that made up an abstract oil painting, and he didn't know what was actually happening.
"My child made this mistake, and I just want to join forces with the Justice League to make amends. Why are you stopping me?"
As Morgan le Fay's magic gradually faded, her face turned deathly pale, and she looked so pitiful that she could easily play Lin Daiyu if she changed her clothes.
"Sister, just stay here in the 'Shadowlands' and relax," Connors said, turning to the Justice League beside her. "Leave this crisis to me, you guys take a break."
Little Ivy and Aisley sat on the black smoke warhorse, completely oblivious to the abstract oil painting-like landscape that the "Shadow Realm" had transformed into, and urged each other on:
"Connors, are you done yet?"
With a whoosh, the thick black smoke retreated back into the Black Smoke Warhorse, and Connors nodded:
"alright."
After saying that, he turned to leave:
"Wait a minute," Superman finally spoke, "'Outsider,' you seem to be deliberately blocking us from returning to Earth?"
Connors glanced at "Superman" with some surprise. He thought Clark would only realize it after he left, but he didn't expect him to figure out his purpose so quickly.
"Not bad, Superman, you've got your 'super thinking' working!"
Superman, with a serious expression, is depicted in an abstract pattern made up of large swaths of red and blue paint.
"Yes, please answer my question."
Connors considered his words carefully and said:
"This is the Shadowlands. Only adults are here. The children stayed on Earth, right?"
"Superman" nodded.
"This world doesn't have any of the buildings and infrastructure found on Earth, so there's no need to worry about causing any damage, right?"
Superman nodded again, while Batman next to him frowned.
"I tested it recently. When I walked around in the 'Shadow Realm,' my location on Earth was slightly different from where I should have been," Connors continued.
Batman suddenly realized that Superman also had "super thinking" and immediately understood Connors's meaning:
"You want us to use this opportunity to subdue those criminals who should be in Earth's prisons but have come to the 'Shadow Realm' because of this incident—before they return to Earth to escape and commit crimes?"
Connors nodded with satisfaction; "Superman" was finally willing to use his clever mind to think.
"I'm going to find those guys in Central City." "The Flash" Barry Allen was the first to respond to Connors.
Wonder Woman, Diana, also pulled a shield and a longsword from her magic pocket:
"Outsiders have no reason to deceive us on this kind of thing."
Batman looks at Superman:
"My Batmobile isn't here; you'll have to give me a ride."
Connors reminded everyone that the other members of the Justice League weren't there.
"Bruce, remember to find a way to get my message across to the other superheroes."
Batman nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
"I'll just have Superman shout a few times, and that'll be enough."
Connors: "—Having a tool is good, huh?"
They left one after another, leaving only "The Witch" Morgan le Fay alone.
As Connors stopped consuming her magic, the extremely elegant noblewoman gradually regained her fair complexion with a rosy hue.
The fleeting anger that had crossed her face was gone, replaced by an even deeper curiosity:
"So you're the 'outsider'?"
Morgan le Fay overheard the way the Justice League addressed Connors, and Connors made no attempt to hide it from them.
"To correct you, I'm now called 'The Monitor,' but you can call me by my name, 'Connors Patterson.'"
Morgan Lefebvre didn't care about the specific title; she had never been in contact with "anti-surveillancers" and didn't know what the title "surveillancer" meant.
But Morgan Lefève knew perfectly well what the term "outsider" meant.
The mastermind behind "Monster Thompson", "The Three-Body Problem", and "Eternal Evil", an unofficial member of the "Justice League", a partner of the "Dark Justice League", and the founder of the "Justice League of America".
He revived the Justice Association, whose overall strength was no less than that of the Justice League, from his memory. He was also a member of the Justice Association and always wore the "JS" ring on his hand.
The founder of the Injustice League, if it weren't for the Injustice League during the Eternal Evil event, the Earth would probably have been destroyed long ago.
A member of the "Central City Rogues," the collective idol of the "Teen Titans," and carrying an olive branch personally bestowed by the Amazon Queen of "Paradise Island," he and the "Justice League" traveled to Apokolips, where he orchestrated "Operation Apokolips," uncovering the plot of the "Dark Lord" Darkseid to wipe out the "Justice League."
A sneeze destroyed Apokolips, manipulated Darkseid and Brainiac, the universe's most advanced artificial intelligence, and destroyed Brainiac's planetary spaceship.
Connors's series of achievements on Earth Zero as an "outsider" were nothing short of dazzling, even Morgan le Fay, a witch active in legends, had heard of him.
With this series of victories, it was only natural for the Justice League to heed Connors' advice and stay in the Shadowlands to fight supervillains, handing over the task of saving the world to Connors without any burden.
The Justice League didn't even ask Connors if he could complete the mission alone on Earth.
"You're very capable; I knew that as soon as I learned you were an 'Outsider'—well, a 'Watcher'."
Morgan Lefève spoke slowly and deliberately:
"But you may not understand what you are really facing, while I have a good understanding of it."
Connors didn't mind learning more about the background of the events:
Tell me about it?
Morgan Lefebvre raised his right hand and tore off a few of the abstract lines around him, transforming them into a magnificent high-backed chair under the magical enhancement of pink and purple.
She gracefully moved to sit down, then had a replica of the chair placed beside her, and extended her hand to invite Connors to sit down.
"Would the powerful 'Watcher' do me the honor of sitting down and letting me explain?"
Connors: ".."
This noblewoman-like witch is truly elegant, but being too elegant in everything makes her seem a bit fussy.
"If you don't want to sit, just say so," Connors urged.
The time flow in the Shadowlands is synchronized with that of Earth, and he didn't want to waste too much time.
"I'm sorry, I'm not used to talking with my head tilted back," Morgan Lefebvre continued elegantly, even bringing out some tea and snacks, leisurely sipping his afternoon tea.
Connors wasn't annoyed. He silently removed the two rings from his hand, and the mysterious house quietly expanded, enveloping Morgan le Fay.
There is no concept of time in the mysterious house, and Connors doesn't mind spending his time slowly with the other party.
As for the problem of not being used to speaking with her head tilted back, that's easy to solve. Just get her used to tilting her head back and opening her mouth. Connors has his own clever methods.
