Chapter 305 Moral Shackles
"What I want to know is, what was your purpose in coming into this world? And why does 'Mr. Fantastic' Reed hate you so much?"
The question posed by "Mr. Ominous Signs" sounds as if it were merely a matter of satisfying curiosity.
"I don't know." Connors declined to comment, but the two women beside him, "Lady of the House" and "Wonder Woman," who were still conscious, were quite curious.
"It seems you don't want any news about 'Mr. Fantastic'. Well then, I'm very sorry, but I have some bad news for you."
"Mr. Ominous" looked extremely grim. He stretched out a hand as if to grab Connors, and his voice became low and menacing:
"In order to work with 'Mr. Fantastic' again, I must kill you and your two female companions to prevent him from being exposed."
These words made Connors and both Dianas laugh.
The two Amazonian princesses put all their weapons, including the Vulcan Greatsword and the Divine Shield, into their respective magic pouches, crossed their arms, and stood aside, looking like they were watching a show.
Connors simply pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them open, waiting to see what tricks this "Mr. Ominous Sign" was going to use to deal with him.
The three men's nonchalant laughter caused "Mr. Ominous" to momentarily change his expression, even making him feel a little inferior. But he was, after all, a man who had lived for hundreds of years, and his mental fortitude was strong enough.
"According to my information, you're just an 'Epsilon-class' mutant 'locksmith' —"
"Mr. Ominous" pointed at the members of the "Endangered Team" who had lost their minds and were completely under his control, and said:
"Now they have all offered their pitiful heads to me, and even the 'White Queen' has no time to care about you. How will you save yourself?"
Emma, the "White Queen," who was the only one present who could escape the mind control of "Mr. Ominous" by using diamond transformation, stood motionless like a wooden statue.
Clearly, while Emma the White Queen was not under control, she was unable to help Connors at this point.
Although Connors's laughter was inexplicable, "Mr. Ominous" believed that his intelligence not only stated that Connors was just a weak mutant, but also that not long ago when Connors was under the Celestials' feet, he had to be protected by the members of the "Endangered Team".
Although Wonder Woman and Lord Woman displayed considerable strength at the time, their deep concern for Connors, almost to the point of being inseparable from him, also indicated that Connors was someone who might be of great use, but still needed to be protected.
"Let me think. You're laughing so wildly; you must have someone backing you up."
"Mr. Ominous" glanced cautiously at Diana, who stood with her arms crossed on either side of Connors:
"They are very strong, but—"
"Mr. Ominous Sign" produced a glass of red wine from who-knows-where, held it shakily in his hand, and stood at the eye of the god's head.
From here, you can see the scenery outside at a glance:
"But I'd rather see your skills, just how far your so-called 'locksmith' abilities actually go?"
Just as "Mr. Ominous" was about to attack Connors, and Connors was also preparing to show his opponent his strength, a bullet flew from a distance and pierced through "Mr. Ominous's" head with a "bang," passing through the crystal on his forehead.
Hope, who had somehow replicated the White Queen's abilities, jumped down from a distant rooftop, the large gun she held in her hands still emitting white smoke from its muzzle.
"How incredibly stupid does this guy have to be to stick a target on his forehead?"
"Mr. Ominous" was shot through the head by a sniper bullet, and the mind control of "Endangered Team" immediately failed. Everyone came to their senses. "We're free of control—" "Cyclops" muttered to himself.
They saw the body of "Mr. Ominous" on the ground with his head pierced, and realized it was the work of their "Omega-level" teammate Hope.
But at that moment, the voice of "Mr. Ominous Sign" came again:
"Please, just stand still—"
Colossus immediately snapped back to reality, grabbed the head of the other "Mr. Omen," and crushed it in one swift motion.
"Stand still and wait to become part of my legion?"
Despite his head being crushed, "Mr. Ominous" still managed to finish his sentence. At that moment, inside the palace of the Celestials' heads, one after another, the heads of the clones appeared as rhomboid crystals.
The words just now came from one of the clones.
"Save your breath, you can't possibly kill me."
"Mr. Ominous" seemed to reappear in the body of a soldier in a red uniform, his body rapidly twisting and changing, transforming back into a man in a black tuxedo.
"The 'Ominous Sign' is a system, a race—'Everyone is an Ominous Sign' is not a joke. If you are not an 'Ominous Sign,' then this is your death day."
At this moment, a swarm of clones poured into the palace, turning it once again into a battlefield where various abilities were displayed in turn.
"I previously wanted to use the opportunity of you sacrificing your lives to let the 'locksmith' unlock the moral shackles of all humanity, but now you'll have to witness it firsthand. Remember, don't blink!"
"Mr. Ominous" is like an elegant magician; no matter how many times he is killed by the "Endless Squad," he can always "resurrect" from other clones.
This time, instead of trying to manipulate the minds of the "Endangered Team," he focused all his efforts on attacking Connors's mental state.
"We cannot let the 'ominous sign' succeed. We have no idea what the limits of the 'locksmith's' abilities are, nor can we bear the consequences of all humanity unlocking the chains of morality."
"Storm Girl" spoke urgently, her body crackling with lightning, like a goddess of storms from mythology, as she charged toward Connors with unstoppable force.
"Ghost" Iliana even used her abilities to open a portal to the border of hell, attempting to send Connors into a realm she could control.
But unexpectedly, Connors reached out and grabbed "Magical's" hand, freezing Iliana in place.
"Mystery" Iliana instinctively tried to break free, but Connors's hand was as hard as cast steel, making it impossible for her to escape.
Storm's lightning shrouded Connors, and she intended to use her own lightning to protect him.
But in a daze, a black smoke flashed by, and the dazzling lightning inside the palace disappeared in an instant, leaving Connors completely exposed to a space without any protection.
Meanwhile, Wonder Woman and Lord Valkyrie, who were also Connors's protectors in the eyes of the "Endless Team," stood by with their arms crossed, motionless, seemingly unaware of the danger Connors was about to face.
"It's over.."
This is the thought in the minds of three "Omega-class" mutants in the "Endangered Team," who seem to have already witnessed the world descending into a hell on earth with no moral bottom line.
