Chapter 325 Chocolate and Milk
Magneto Erik is in freefall, while his opponent Iron Man Stark traces an arc in the air, purposefully searching for other opponents.
At least for now, Iron Man has won this battle.
"Strange, Magneto clearly had the strength to fight back just now, but he suddenly stopped," the White Queen said, looking at the projection on the wall of the Mysterious House with a puzzled expression.
Storm was also puzzled, and she looked at Connors for an answer.
"It's simple, he sensed the Phoenix Force approaching Earth," Connors replied.
In short, whatever the reason, "Magneto" Erik did indeed lose, and the bet between Connors and "The White Queen" Storm has begun to take effect:
"A bet's a bet. If you two lose, you'll be at my mercy, okay?"
Storm's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded very little. The White Queen slowly raised her hand to unbutton her white robe.
But to my surprise, Connors was completely serious:
"I require you to participate in the battle from now on. Ororo will deal with 'Shockwave,' and Emma will search for 'The Invisible Woman.'"
The "White Queen" paused in her act of unbuttoning her white robe, a strange sense of disappointment welling up inside her.
But just as Connors requested, it would be irresponsible of their fellow mutants to disappear at such a time, given that they are mutants.
Storm glanced down at the large hand still protruding from her strapless battle dress, neither objecting nor immediately engaging in combat. Sure enough, just as Emma, the White Queen, was filled with disappointment, Connors changed the subject:
"But while we're inside this room, time outside has no meaning for us. If you want, you can stay here for a year or two before going out, and then you'll find that the battle outside has only lasted a second."
Storm bit her lower lip, watching the battle between Captain America and Gambit projected onto the wall, and wondered:
"But aren't all these images synchronized in real time?"

"The visuals are synchronized with the outside world, but the time inside the house is not synchronized," Connors explained.
"Is this also one of the ways the 'Locksmith' uses his abilities?" the "White Queen" said with a knowing look on her face.
Storm took a deep breath, her chest tightening her strapless dress with each breath, trapping Connors's hand inside.
Every time she's with Connors, Storm Ororo discovers new abilities in him, one after another, each one incredibly powerful on its own.
She had some doubts about whether Connors was a mutant, but the existence of "Apocalypse" meant that Connors, a "mutant" with multiple abilities, was not an isolated case.
As soon as doubt arose in her mind, Storm stopped thinking. When Connors realized that his hand was firmly stuck and he could not move, he decisively used his ability "Precision Control".
The two completely opposite feelings made them feel like ants were crawling inside them, making them incredibly itchy.
However, Connors was multitasking at the moment, his gaze fixed on the image projected on the wall of the Mysterious House.
"Captain America" is a master of martial arts, a fact that Connors knows very well, but "Gambit," whom he doesn't remember well, is now wielding a long staff and is actually fighting to a draw with Captain America, Rogers.
Not only that, when the round vibranium shield flew towards "Gambit," this guy actually shook the vibranium shield in mid-air a few times, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, and knocked it down from the sky.
"We're wasting time, 'Gambit'."
Captain America Steve watched as the shield was taken by the other party. As the purple light emanated from the hands of the "Gambit," the shield also turned purple.
"I happen to have some excess energy to match your wasted time, old man!"
"Gambit" spoke very bluntly. His eyes lit up with purple energy, making his shield almost look like a small purple sun.
"I guess you want this back, right?"
After saying that, "Gambit" swung his shield at "Captain America" with both hands, and purple energy clung to it, making it seem as if it had turned into a circular saw again.
Faced with the vibranium shield brimming with explosive energy, Captain America Rogers dared not take it head-on, nor did he intend to. Instead, he stood still.
"Tony, I've got a bit of a situation here. I'll meet up with you after I've sorted it out."
After Captain America finished speaking, he dodged the vibranium shield that flew in front of him, and then lunged at "Gambit" with his bare hands.
In close combat, without the circular vibranium shield, Captain America unhesitatingly used all the fighting techniques he had already mastered.
His footwork was agile and nimble, always maintaining the distance between himself and "King of Cards," preventing the opponent from using his long stick advantage. Not only that, he also took the opportunity to strike the long stick with his palm and break it. Then, without slowing down, he grabbed "King of Cards" by the neck and pressed him against the tree trunk.
"How long until 'Phoenix' arrives on Earth, Tony?"
Captain America, holding "Gambit" in one hand, asked over the communication channel.
The "Gambit" silently placed his hand on the fish-scale suit worn by "Captain America," and purple energy quickly attached itself to Steve's chest:
"Didn't your mother teach you that leaving guests hanging is rude?"
Inside the mysterious house, Connors glanced at the White Queen and Storm, his hands now reaching deep into the lion's den.
Both of them kept their eyes closed, trying their best to keep themselves from making a sound.
Their bodies were tense, but Connors was quite relaxed, even having the leisure to tease the two women:
"You see, I never leave you all out; I always treat everyone equally."
As he spoke, he exerted force with both hands simultaneously.
The long, chocolate-colored legs and the long, milky legs instantly straightened.
On a battlefield somewhere on Krakoa Island, Captain America looked at Gambit's hand pressed against his chest, a nonchalant smile on his face:
"Come on, 'Gambit,' everyone knows your abilities are ineffective against organic matter."
But as soon as he finished speaking, a mocking smile appeared on Gambit's face, and the purple energy covering Captain America's entire chest exploded instantly, blasting Captain America far away and kicking up a cloud of dust.
