Chapter 1075

~7 min read 1,348 words

The gale howled, and the waves surged.

In the vast, boundless deep blue ocean, giant waves rolled in one after another, emitting a roar that sounded like the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting; they were like roaring tigers, surging with power and whipping up waves of fury.

Along with the downpour, a massive whirlpool appeared on the sea surface, rapidly and forcefully pulling at the panicked Psylocke.

The ferocity of nature left Psylocke, who prided herself on fearing nothing, unable to resist; where was there any trace of her former defiance on her bedraggled and pale face?

Only despair and terror remained!

The change in the weather by the sea naturally attracted the attention of the others, and upon discovering Psylocke spinning rapidly in the whirlpool and gradually sinking to the bottom, everyone guessed what was happening.

"Tsk tsk tsk—if I remember correctly, among the people the Master has recruited, she is the most miserable one, right?"

"She is indeed the most miserable."

"The Master isn't petty, nor does he care about background or personality; he wouldn't bully her like this for no reason, would he? Do you think she said or did something to annoy the Master?"

"You just said the Master isn't petty, so how could he punish her so casually!"

"If you ask me, the Master is likely establishing his authority. Don't forget, she tried to abandon Caliban and run away earlier. The Master can be tolerant in other aspects, but when it comes to loyalty, there is no room for negotiation!"

"You're right, that's a possibility!"

The onlookers speculated and discussed among themselves, but none of them went over.

Psylocke, caught in the whirlpool, already felt the approach of death; she didn't want to die, and she didn't want to die in such a muddled way.

She begged for mercy and conceded.

"Save... glug glug... save me... I concede... I concede..."

"Glug glug..."

The surging seawater poured into her mouth, the pain of suffocation making her face look hideous; she struggled and flailed her limbs, her consciousness gradually fading.

"Am I going to die? No... I don't want to die, I don't want to..."

"Bang!"

Just as her will was about to fall into a deep sleep, she suddenly vanished from the whirlpool, and immediately appeared out of thin air on the beach, being thrown down heavily.

"Ugh..."

Psylocke lay on the beach vomiting for a long time, then sat blankly on the sand, looking at the clear, cloudless sky and the mirror-like calm sea.

If it weren't for the fact that her hair and body were still dripping wet, she would have even suspected that the terrifying scene just now hadn't actually happened, and that it might all have been a hallucination.

Su Quan remained unruffled and asked lightly: "Do you concede?"

Hearing the voice, Psylocke shivered subconsciously, a look of fear appearing on her face, and she nodded repeatedly regardless of her disheveled state: "I concede, I concede."

"Then just follow me obediently. However, I'll say this first: I allow you to have a personality, and I allow you to be yourself, but you must firmly remember one thing."

"Loyalty!"

"Loyalty!"

"And f***ing loyalty!"

"Do you understand?"

"I, I understand!"

Psylocke nodded heavily, vaguely realizing that this must have been a show of force directed at her.

As for the reason, perhaps it was because she had abandoned Caliban and tried to run away?

Honestly, Psylocke didn't feel she had done anything wrong; Caliban had never helped her, nor was he her benefactor or master—their relationship was purely one of employment.

Caliban gave her money, and she did things for him; that was all.

If she could have won, she wouldn't have run away, but she couldn't win—not only him, but even Caliban and that group of subordinates had been wiped out in one go. If she didn't run at a time like this, was she supposed to wait and die with them?

However, she didn't offer any excuses.

Because even if she hadn't betrayed Caliban, she had still abandoned her employer; after all, Caliban hadn't died yet at the time, so there was nothing to justify.

"The people who brought you back are Polaris, Rogue, and Blink; they are my guard team, also known as members of the Void Guard."

"You are also a member of the Void Guard; from now on, you will be colleagues."

Psylocke's eyes widened: "Void... Void Guard? Is this Void... the Void I'm thinking of?"

Su Quan's lips curled slightly, and he asked a question he already knew the answer to: "Did I not tell you? My name is Su Quan, I am the master of Void Island, and also the Lord of the Void!"

Psylocke felt a *buzz* in her head, and her whole person was stunned.

The person who captured me is actually the Lord of the Void, Su Quan?

I've joined Void Island?

From now on, I am a person of Void Island, a person of the Lord of the Void?

My God!

At this moment, Psylocke was just like Caliban when he learned the truth—she was completely overwhelmed.

What is called a blessing in disguise?

This is what's called a blessing in disguise!

However, if you had said earlier that you were from Void Island, and said earlier that the person who wanted to see me was Su Quan, would I have fought you? I definitely would have cooperated and come with you immediately.

Psylocke secretly slandered those b*tches... those unreliable people in her heart, but the unwillingness and resentment in her heart were completely gone.

As for almost dying just now?

What does that count for? The opponent was Su Quan; daring to make a move against Su Quan, it was lucky enough to not be dead, let alone becoming Su Quan's person as a blessing in disguise.

If she had known earlier that she could become Su Quan's person this way, she wouldn't have needed Su Quan to make a move—she would have jumped into the sea herself, and made an even bigger mess of it than now.

Watching Psylocke, whose eyes were shining and who had become more docile than a cat, Su Quan beckoned her over for a head-pat, and incidentally steamed her hair and clothes dry.

"This is a pocket universe I created, located inside the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters; everyone who can enter this pocket universe is one of our own."

"Go pick a room in the villa, familiarize yourself with the environment, and get to know them."

Psylocke turned her head to look into the depths of the island, where a villa stood prominently, and several figures were standing in the villa waving at her.

"Yes."

"I, I'm going over now?"

"Go."

Su Quan waved his hand lazily, and he closed his eyes again, lazily sunbathing.

Nothing to do!

Young Jean Grey recruited, young Jubilee recruited, young Storm recruited, Dazzler recruited, Psylocke recruited, Magneto recruited, Quicksilver recruited.

The established goals had basically all been achieved, leaving only the solar flare energy and the alien Smith, but they wouldn't appear for another ten years.

He had already been idling on Void Island for twenty years; another ten years would be a bit hard to bear.

Su Quan had two ideas.

One, go to other worlds to kill time.

Worlds with too much plot were temporarily not considered, so as not to be unable to spare himself when the time came, affecting the real business.

Two, time travel.

Travel directly to ten years later, seamlessly connecting to the alien plot, and after achieving the goal, take Void Island back to the Marvel world directly.

Time travel is convenient, but it's a bit unfair to the people around him to just leave.

After thinking it over, Su Quan felt that going to other worlds to kill time was better; that way, even if a few years had passed when he returned, the time spent apart wouldn't be considered long!

Most importantly, the arrangements made a long time ago could also be completed by taking this opportunity!
