Chapter 307 They were stunned by us.
The news that the "Endangered Team" had fought against the previous "Celestial Team" consisting of only one member had spread throughout the world.
At this moment, countless satellites and reporters in helicopters are transmitting the scene to every screen:
A scene depicting the confrontation between the "mutants" and the "Celestials".
"Eric, how are you?"
"Cyclops" walked up to "Magneto" and asked in a low voice. If he hadn't been struggling to keep the headless Celestial's body running, they would probably still be fighting wits and courage against those metal flying insects.
Magneto Erik shook his head slightly; his face was so pale it rivaled even that of the diamond-like Emma Watson, the White Queen.
"Not so great, but there are hundreds and thousands of satellites pointing at us right now, the whole world is watching us—I won't let that show."
As the team leader, "Cyclops" then turned his gaze to "White Queen" Emma, but unexpectedly, she spoke first:
"You want me to back down? No way. The chance to truly confront the gods is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Laser Eyes" looked at Connors again, but the newly joined "locksmith" seemed to be sleepy or something else; his eyes were lifeless.
I feel like I could burst into a big yawn at any moment.
Considering that neither Magneto nor the White Queen intends to back down, and with countless satellites watching overhead, continuing to dawdle would inevitably affect the public's perception of mutants.
He cleared his throat and took the lead, heading towards the "Celestial Group":
"Gentlemen, line up and prepare to face the 'God'!"
The sound of the helicopter rotors was almost deafening, and the strong wind made the clothes of the "Endangered Team" members flutter.
There was a fearless reporter carrying a camera, intending to broadcast the following content live from close range.
"Laser Eyes" looked up at the dozen or so "Celestials" standing on the ground or floating in the sky, and carefully considered his words:
"Um—I hope you understand what I mean, this planet is under our protection."
"This planet is under my protection."
In a dimension outside of reality, Connors spoke alone to more than a dozen "Celestials".
The language he speaks does not belong to any language on Earth; rather, it is the "adaptive translation" ability that allows him to communicate in the language of the "Celestials."
Since he was not in the "real dimension" at this time, neither Iliana, the "Genius" who was able to enter the border of hell from the "Endangered Team," nor the three "Omega-level" mutants noticed him.
In reality, Connors seemed to be in a sleepwalking state, not saying a word, and his eyes seemed unfocused.
Something was clearly wrong. "Lady of the House" and "Wonder Woman" exchanged a glance, each preparing to protect Connors at any moment.
The Celestials remained completely still and showed no reaction to "Laser Eyes'" words.
"One of your members recently arrived on Earth and encountered some kind of crisis, but fortunately we managed to save him."
Seeing that the gods didn't react, "Laser Eyes" had no choice but to recount what had just happened, while also glorifying the "Endangered Team".
"We protected him, and we are not your enemies," Cyclops said, standing there somewhat awkwardly with his head tilted back.
He tried his best to make the "mutant" stance clear so that these "Celestials" would think they were there to declare war.
For their "Endangered Team," it would be best to avoid this battle. If a fight were to break out, the already endangered mutant population would certainly be reduced by another batch.
However, the "Heavenly Gods" group still did not respond to this.
The members of the "Endangered Team" clenched their fists, almost anticipating the great battle that was about to unfold.
They struggled so much just dealing with "Mr. Ominous," who had borrowed the power of the gods. How could they possibly win a battle against more than a dozen gods at the same time?
"Magneto" Erik couldn't figure it out, and neither could the others, making the atmosphere extremely tense.
Compared to the increasingly tense atmosphere in reality, the scene in the high latitude where Connors is currently located is quite different:
"What price are you willing to pay to get me to take action?"
Through his conversation with the Celestials, Connors has learned why this large group of Celestials came to Earth:
He took matters into his own hands to deal with the "anti-surveillance agents".
Their knowledge of Connors's identity as a "Monitor" and the threat posed by the "Anti-Monitor" stemmed entirely from the first world swallowed up by the "Anti-Monitor."
That is, the world of Cindy ("Spider Silk") and Yuki ("Ice Moon Flower Snow").
Even if these "Celestials" don't show up, Connors's constant observation is also aimed at dealing with the "Anti-Monitors," but clearly these Celestials don't know this, so Connors takes the opportunity to make a request:
"I can help you deal with the 'anti-surveillancers,' but in exchange, I need you to hand over the 'Observer.'"
The Celestials will search for the Observer, thus saving Connors the trouble of running around himself.
"This is a difficult problem; there's more than one 'observer'—they're a group."
One of the "Celestials" said that he also used their language, which was inaudible to those in the real dimensions of Earth.
"If it's too difficult, then don't do it?" Connors scoffed. He could tell these guys were trying to bargain. "Just don't come crying to me when the world is swallowed up by the 'Anti-Monitors.'"
These gods were clearly not good at bargaining; faced with the naked threat that the world would sooner or later be swallowed up by the "Anti-Monitors," they decisively chose to compromise:
"Alright, we'll begin hunting the 'Observers' immediately."
Connors waved his hand:
"You can leave now."
In the real world, "Laser Eyes" is already sweating profusely. As the leader of the now-crippled team, he gritted his teeth and contacted the "Avengers":
"Listen, Steve, we're all in this together now. These gods haven't revealed their intentions yet, and I need your support."
The "Omega-class" mutant Hope quietly begins to replicate the abilities of all her teammates, preparing for an impending great crisis.
Storm's eyes turned blue and white as she secretly manipulated the gathering of a storm in the distance.
Magneto Erik was desperately taking deep breaths to relieve the pressure of maintaining his celestial body and to prepare himself for the upcoming attacks.
Less than ten kilometers away from them, a large group of ordinary people and reporters, holding cell phones and carrying cameras, gathered there, watching the confrontation between the mutants and the gods with fanatical expressions.
But as the ground trembled slightly, these silently standing "Celestials" began to rise into the air, bursting out of the atmosphere and disappearing from sight.
One by one—after all the Celestials had left Earth, everyone in the "Endangered Team" breathed a sigh of relief:
"My God, we did it? We made these gods leave Earth?"
"Laser Eyes" finally calmed his racing heart. He glanced back at the reporters and ordinary people in the distance, who were standing there dumbfounded:
"They saw with their own eyes that the eleven of us came out to face the gods, and they were all stunned by us."
"Laser Eyes" naturally assumed that his words had worked, successfully dissuading the "Celestials" from leaving, which surprised Connors, who had just returned to the real world.
