Chapter 1071

~6 min read 1,165 words

At the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, Su Quan accepted Ali and brought her and the young girl Jean Grey back, and then didn't go out again.

He opened up a pocket space in the school and used his ability to modify reality to transform this space into an island environment where it was like summer all year round.

The island is a real island, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and villas standing tall, just like an earthly paradise.

The sea is also a real sea, with the sea surface rippling with clear waves, and the seabed having both deep and shallow areas, with all kinds of sea creatures swimming back and forth, happy and free.

Since opening up the pocket universe, Su Quan and the Void Guard have moved in, and there's no need to mention Ali.

The young girl Jean Grey, who had officially joined, and Blink, who hadn't officially announced it but it was almost a certainty, although they didn't move in directly, also had their own rooms.

The only two who were kept out were Magneto and his son Quicksilver.

The reason for being kept out was also reasonable: most of the people inside were women, the weather was hot, and they were dressed coolly, so it wouldn't be appropriate for you to go in.

As for why Su Quan could live inside?

Heh.

This space was created by Su Quan; as the creator, isn't it normal for him to live inside?

Besides, the duty of the Void Guard is that wherever Su Quan is, they are there.

Su Quan moved in, so they have to follow and move in too; nothing wrong with that!

Of course, actually, these reasons aren't needed either.

Who to let in and who not to let in, Su Quan decides with a single word; where is there any need for an explanatory reason!

Su Quan didn't spend his time in debauchery or dissipation either; after all, the Void Guard had been following him for many years, and being here was no different from being on Void Island.

Whatever should have been spent or squandered had long since been spent and squandered.

Su Quan not going out didn't mean his recruitment plan was paused; with so many subordinates around, there was no need to do everything himself. If he was interested, he would go out personally; if he wasn't, he would let his subordinates bring the people back.

For example, right now, there was a target brought back by Polaris, Rogue, and Blink.

By the sea, on the beach.

Su Quan was lying between Lorna and the young Storm. Even though the sun was scorching and the air was muggy, under the control of their abilities, the sunlight wasn't scorching, and the sea breeze carried coolness.

The target's black-purple long hair was scattered, her head was drooping, and her feet weren't touching the ground; she was floating over like a ghost, following Polaris, Rogue, and Blink.

Su Quan opened his eyes slowly, looked at the unconscious target, and asked them dumbly: "What's the situation? She refused to come?"

Given the reputation and status of Void Island, Psylocke shouldn't have refused the invitation; after all, in the movie, she betrayed Caliban without hesitation and became one of Apocalypse's Four Horsemen.

Yes, this target was exactly Psylocke!

Psylocke was hanging out with Caliban, but even if Caliban knew he was going to poach his wall, he shouldn't dare to stop him.

Unless he felt he could block Void Island, and also didn't want to do business with Void Island anymore.

But, is that possible?

Underground black market merchants like Caliban are best at judging the situation; otherwise, he would have been wiped out long ago. As long as it doesn't touch his foundation, he couldn't possibly fall out with Void Island.

What's more, Su Quan didn't ask for people empty-handed; he gave him a million dollars, not to mention promising him a few spots to join Void Island regularly.

You have to know that most of Caliban's business is helping mutants who want to smuggle or run away make fake passports. If he could let people join Void Island, one could imagine how his status and the benefits he received would improve.

No matter how you look at it, Psylocke and Caliban had no reason to refuse him, so why was Psylocke brought over unconscious?

Polaris, Rogue, and Blink looked at each other, and finally, it was Polaris who spoke.

"Uh... we didn't tell her that you, Master, wanted to see her, nor did we indicate the identity of Void Island."

As long as the mission was completed, Su Quan didn't mind them playing freely; after all, everyone has their own habits and personalities. If they really became puppets without self, that wouldn't be beautiful.

"Tell me about what happened."

"Yes."

Polaris nodded and told the story.

The cause was actually very simple: there was a Psylocke from the old timeline on Void Island, and they were very curious about Psylocke's doppelgänger, so they wanted to hide their identities and observe first.

As a result, this Psylocke was much more hot-tempered than the Psylocke on Void Island, and she started fighting impatiently after a disagreement.

Since they had started fighting, they couldn't reveal their identities at this time, right?

That would make them look down on them.

It would seem like they were afraid, and it would also damage the prestige of Void Island.

Win the fight first!

Psylocke's strength was not bad, and her sword technique was very sharp, but her ability hadn't been strengthened, and her overall strength was not as good as in the Four Horsemen period in the movie.

Who were her opponents?

Blink didn't need to be mentioned; she didn't make a move at all, just being a "means of transportation."

Rogue's ability was too evil; as long as she touched Psylocke, she would either die or faint, so she didn't rush to make a move either.

The one who made a move was Polaris.

No matter if it was her ability or her strength, the current Psylocke couldn't be her opponent.

What to do if you can't beat her?

Call for help!

And then Caliban brought a group of mutants to join the battle.

At this time, they couldn't reveal their identities even more, and then the one-on-one turned into a group fight, and then... there was no then.

Caliban wasn't a mutant who was good at fighting, and his mutant subordinates couldn't be said to be crooked melons and cracked dates, but they didn't have any decent experts either; otherwise, he wouldn't have kept Psylocke by his side to protect himself.

The result was predictable; Caliban's group was directly wiped out.

Of course, this "wiped out" wasn't that "wiped out"; it was nothing more than getting some injuries or fainting.

The injuries were Polaris's handiwork, while the fainting was Rogue's doing, and that included Psylocke, who hadn't woken up yet!
