Chapter 270 The Traitor
All the adults in the Shadowlands were sent back to Earth, including the supervillains and superheroes. Upon their return, the supervillains scattered and fled, while the superheroes, led by the Justice League, hunted them down around the world.
Mordred lay on the ground with her arms outstretched, looking utterly dejected, as the "Lords of Justice," now back in their original forms, slowly surrounded her.
But at that moment, Mordred suddenly opened his mouth and exclaimed in surprise:
"Mother!"
Everyone looked up and saw a noblewoman dressed in a deep purple medieval dress and wearing an elaborate headdress, surrounded by pink and purple magic, slowly descending from the sky.
In an instant, the amusement park around them, which had returned to normal, began to change. The castle became an ancient castle, the garden remained a garden, but the various children's entertainment facilities turned into various siege weapons.
The surrounding area was filled with deafening shouts of battle as tens of thousands of warriors clad in medieval plate armor charged forward, weapons raised high.
"Where is this?"
"Lady of the Lords" frowned, instinctively using "Athena's Vision" in an attempt to see through the illusion.
But everything around seemed not to be a false illusion, but a fact that was actually happening.
Not only that, but pinkish-purple halos lit up under the feet of the five "Lords of Justice," and then their figures vanished instantly.
Connors instinctively grabbed the two "Poison Ivy Lolis" beside him.
"Outsider, watcher—you will feel guilty for everything you've done."
"The Witch" Morgan le Fay, along with her son Mordred, slowly floated into the air:
"The Philosopher's Stone cannot be easily destroyed; it carries with it a predetermined, unalterable history, and will reappear in the world—its true name is the 'Philosopher's Stone.'"
Connors scratched his head:
"What?"
Morgan Lefebvre was momentarily stunned, but she quickly recovered:
"Ignorance! That's the jewel embedded in the sword in the stone, containing all the magic of this world throughout history!"
"That demon seems to have disappeared," little Ivy said, looking around as Connors held her hand.
Upon hearing this, Connors looked around and, sure enough, the demon Itrigan had vanished without a trace. He hadn't even noticed when it disappeared. A mocking expression appeared on Morgan le Fay's face.
"I said, the wheels of history will move forward along their predetermined course."
Her posture remained impeccably elegant, but her gaze towards Connors would occasionally flash with a venomous malice.
The medieval witch seems to be angry.
The sounds of battle were deafening all around. Every now and then, well-dressed soldiers would rush past Connors toward the nearby castle and fight with the guards who came out of the castle to defend it.
Catapults nearby continuously launched boulders at the castle, and flaming arrows flew through the air in a continuous barrage, as if a rain of fire was falling from the sky.
A siege is underway here, and the reasons for the war between the two sides are unknown.
"I will find the Philosopher's Stone once more, restore my kingdom, and restore Mordred to the throne. As for you, 'Watcher,' you will be trapped in this dream."
After Morgan Lefebvre finished speaking, he and his son mounted two passing warhorses and headed toward the castle.
With each step their warhorses took, the decorations on their bodies changed.
Mordred's clothes changed from a dark blue robe to small, fitted plate armor.
Morgan le Fay's dark purple medieval gown shimmered with gold, transforming into a woman's gold plate armor. The skirt itself became a skirt armor, while the inner lining became casual clothing for ease of movement.
The elaborate headdress gradually disappeared, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, and a golden mask appeared on her face, replacing her previous elegance with mystery and sharpness.
Without giving Connors another glance, the mother and son's warhorses began to accelerate toward the castle gates.
Here, a dozen strong soldiers were carrying huge logs and ramming them against the city gate, making it bang loudly.
Connors keenly sensed that although Morgan Lefebvre and Mordred were still the same people, their inner spirit and energy had changed, and they were almost not the same people he had seen in the "Shadow Realm" and on Earth Zero.
"That older sister seemed to say this is a dream," Ashley said, looking up at Connors.
Little Ivy squatted down with some skepticism, dipped her finger in the dirt, and tasted it:
"Ugh~ Ptooey, ptooey!"
She said with a distressed look on her face:
"Was this dream a little too real?"
Little Alice reached out and tapped Little Ivy's nose:
"Fool!"
She stretched out a hand, and the grass on the ground grew rapidly, flowering and bearing fruit within seconds, producing round, green berries.
Aisley picked the fruit, put it in her mouth, and took a small bite. Her little face immediately scrunched up.
"How sour~ It seems this dream was indeed real."
Connors watched the two little girls beside him clown around with amusement, showing no sign of the tension one might feel in the depths of a dream. On the contrary, he was unusually relaxed and said:
"Dreams? Isn't that my area of expertise?"
He uses the "Dream Relic" quite rarely compared to his other abilities, but each time he uses it, it has a huge effect, which is the ability to control dreams.
The two "Poison Ivy Lolis" tilted their little heads up in surprise to look at Connors, and said in unison:
"How come we didn't know?"
Neither of them had ever seen Connors use the "Dream Relic" ability.
Connors counted on his fingers that one instance was using "Dream Relics" to bring the "Justice Association's" JS ring back to reality from Seaside City.
One instance is the resurrection of the "Justice Association" from memory.
Another instance involved delving into the memories of "Lord Superman," transforming the ruthless "Lord of Justice" back into the big boy who grew up on the farm.
Three times, "Poison Ivy Lolita" happened to be absent. "Come with me."
As Connors spoke, he led a little girl by the hand and walked towards the castle, where Morgan le Fay, who had changed his demeanor and attire, was guarding the gate with Mordred.
The soldiers continued to ram the city gate with logs, but the gate seemed incredibly sturdy, showing no cracks or deformation to this day.
At the same time, rocks and arrows rained down on the castle from above, striking the attacking soldiers below and causing them to cry out in agony.
Just when the situation seemed to be deadlocked and Morgan le Fay was suffering heavy losses, the castle gates suddenly creaked open from the inside.
A man with dark red hair, dressed in silver plate armor and whose style was completely different from the siege soldiers, opened the city gate and welcomed Morgan le Fay and his soldiers inside.
"This is—a mole?"
Connors, curious, led the two little girls into the castle with the soldiers, only to see the man with dark red hair kneeling on one knee, expressing his love to Morgan le Fay.
