Chapter 220

Her father and mother were once Inhuman equal-rights activists like Maximus.

Unlike Maximus, who only used the lower-class Inhumans, her parents truly wanted to fight for the welfare of the lower-class people.

But they ultimately failed, causing Medusa and her sister Crystal to depend on each other from a young age.

In order to survive carefully and preserve her and her sister’s royal status, Medusa had to publicly promote views opposing her parents, claiming that royal autocracy was the correct path.

Furthermore, she had been betrothed to the super-powered Black Bolt since childhood, and had always served as his sign language interpreter.

More than a lover, she was like Black Bolt’s personal translator.

He was so wooden that, even now, he would only hold her hand...

Was this truly what she wanted...?

Medusa hadn't been able to figure it out before, but now...

Ye Li could read the emotions in her heart—

She was happy, happier than she had ever been.

Even with her memory lost.

Deep down, this Queen felt that the present seemed happier than the past...

She no longer wanted to go back...

"I want to..."

Medusa was about to say something.

Beep, beep, beep—

Ye Li’s communicator rang; it was the little Princess—

[Have you found my sister?

We were attacked by people sent by Maximus, but Black Bolt has already dealt with them. You must be careful on your end too!]

Her voice had just finished coming through the communicator.

Wuen~

A spatial distortion occurred on the observatory.

The people sent by Maximus had arrived.

"They're here already...?"

Ye Li thought for a moment and did not stop the newcomers' teleportation.

That Oran who attacked earlier was truly pathetic.

He wanted to see if the Inhumans actually had any capable individuals.

They were, after all, a super-powered race said to be on par with mutants; surely Black Bolt wasn't their only representative?

Wuen~

The teleportation ended.

Five Inhuman figures appeared on the observatory.

Ye Li glanced left and right, casually sizing them up.

The first Inhuman assassin was a thin figure wearing a crude mask, with glowing orange light emitting from the goggles, like a low-budget Cyclops.

The second was shrouded in a black hooded robe, with blue electricity crackling from the hands exposed outside the robe; clearly an electrical-type ability user.

The third looked a bit disgusting, with black lips and scar-like flesh lines rising on both cheeks, likely related to his ability.

The fourth was a woman with a normal appearance; her ability was not apparent.

The last one was also a lady, wearing a white flower in her hair as an accessory. After looking around, she said, "There are no plants here; I can't use my ability..."

Ye Li: "..." (They just exposed their own abilities? ...These Inhumans aren't just weak, they don't seem very bright either...)

"It doesn't matter, Flora, just watch from the side. The rest of us are more than enough to deal with Queen Medusa."

The black-robed man with electricity in his hands glared menacingly at Medusa.

As for Ye Li beside her, he was completely ignored.

Just a trashy Earthling; not worth mentioning in front of powerful Inhuman warriors!

"Fine, you guys be careful." The Inhuman woman named Flora heard this and obediently stepped aside.

The black-robed man then led the ugly-cheeked Inhuman to surround Medusa.

"Sax... Loxis... Flora... and..."

Medusa slowly recalled, her eyes sweeping over the few assassins one by one, finally landing on the low-budget Cyclops, "...Mordis, Maximus actually let even you out..."

This Mordis was rated as a warrior second only to Black Bolt among the Inhumans.

Seeming to feel he didn't need to act, Mordis stood with his arms crossed beside Loxis, making no move, only threatening Medusa in a low, muffled voice, "Medusa, if you cooperate and come with us, I can let them spare your life."

"..." Medusa didn't speak again, but silently began to wave her hair, preparing to fight.

However, Ye Li stopped her with one hand and said, "You don't need to act."

Crackle~!

The black-robed man raised his current-filled palm, amused, "What? Earth boy, you still want to play the hero?"

Clap, clap~

Ye Li ignored the small fry and clapped his hands twice, "Let them test your quality."

Four [Inheritors] draped in red robes walked out from the dark corners in response.

[How did I not notice them just now? ...]

Mordis’s attention was drawn to these four red-robed figures, feeling they were somewhat of a threat.

Tap, tap, tap...

Solus stayed beside Ye Li and Medusa, while Karn, Verna, and Bora flicked their red robes and walked straight toward the Inhuman assassins.

"What kind of small fry dares to be impudent in front of me!"

The black-robed man unleashed a bolt of electricity at Karn, who was in the lead—

Sizzle~!

Karn reached under his red robe and pulled out a harpoon-like weapon; with a wave, the pale red glowing tip absorbed the blue electricity completely.

"What!?" The black-robed man couldn't believe it!

Karn didn't stop because of the man's surprise; he casually thrust the harpoon, piercing it into the black-robed man's heart—

Sizzle~!

Thud~

As the harpoon went in and out, the electricity in the man's hands extinguished, and he collapsed straight down.

"One." Seeing one go down so quickly, Ye Li simply hugged Medusa and started counting on the side.

"How is this possible?!"

Sax looked at the fallen man beside him, stunned for a moment, then hurriedly puffed up his muscle-filled cheeks—

Pfft!!

Black corrosive venom sprayed from his mouth, successfully hitting Karn, burning through the red robe and soaking into the flesh.

"Hahaha! You're dead!!" Sax shouted excitedly, seeing his attack land!

But.

The next scene left him dumbfounded.

He saw.

Karn continued walking toward Sax, showing no pain, and the flesh corroded on his body was actually squirming and healing rapidly!

"How can this be...! How can weak Earthlings have powerful strength similar to our Inhumans!"

Sax didn't believe it and puffed up his mouth again to attack Karn.

Just then.

Bang~! Bang! Bang! Bang!—!

A series of gunshots rang out.

Flowers of blood bloomed on Sax's body.

Ye Li held a golden AK, sweeping him into a honeycomb.

"No way... I was just testing, and you really can't even block firearms? I'm telling you, what's the use of these superpowers? You'd be better off practicing your aim."

After the snarky comment.

Ye Li put the gun away and made a 'two' gesture, "Second one~"

"You! You guys!" Mordis finally realized something was wrong.

"You what you? Is that phlegm stuck in your throat?" Ye Li mocked playfully.

"You bastard!"

Mordis was enraged, and two golden-orange beams of scorching light erupted from his goggles, shooting instantly at Ye Li!
