Chapter 473

Storm originally thought Su Quan would break in directly or use his space ability to take the mutants out of the sanitarium without anyone noticing.

After all, that person in charge, Dr. Reyes, and her energy force field were four words to him: purely decorative!

As it turned out... Su Quan didn't take the usual path; he was actually planning to sneak into the sanitarium and proceed slowly.

Proceed slowly?

For such a purely decorative sanitarium, what is there to proceed slowly about?

Isn't it just wanting to get in, get familiar with them, preferably get them, and then make them follow you wholeheartedly and willingly?

Did you think I didn't know your routine?

Others say: a forced melon isn't sweet, but it quenches thirst!

You, on the other hand, don't want to force it, but it has to be sweet, and it has to quench thirst!

The person, you want!

The heart, you want that too!

Su Quan uses this routine for Storm, or rather, for his targets in the academy!

Based on an almost endless lifespan, no matter how long he stays in any world, when he leaves, he can return to the time point he wants in another world.

Time has no meaning to him, and it has no meaning to the people accompanying him. He has many ways to smooth out the effects of aging and lifespan.

Storm asked speechlessly: "How are we going to sneak in?"

"Not we, it's me!" Su Quan didn't intend to let Storm act together.

Storm was stunned: "Why?"

"Besides this world, I have several other targets in other worlds. Only after completing them all will I take you back to my world. By then, you will have plenty to keep you busy. Although it won't be impossible to come back, it won't be as convenient."

Storm understood Su Quan's meaning: he wanted her to cherish the time left at the academy and in her own world.

"How long do you plan to stay here?"

"It depends on the situation. Once I sneak in, I will suggest a space gate connecting the two worlds. You can come find me at any time, and I will find you too!"

Su Quan admitted that he liked the new, but he never tired of the old. Besides, Storm wasn't exactly old; after all, they had just gotten together, and it was the height of their passion...

It's just... even if he didn't come to this world, there was still Jean Grey in the academy, or even Kitty Pryde. They didn't have many opportunities to be together anyway, so he might as well take this gap to finish the targets in this world.

Storm understood this too and didn't dwell on it. After getting dressed, she let Su Quan send her back to the academy.

Su Quan modified the spatial location outside the hotel room door. Storm opened the door and walked out, returning directly to her room at the academy.

"Hum—"

Su Quan didn't leave the hotel but focused slightly and activated his ability.

The surrounding space twisted slightly, ripples vibrated, gradually became ethereal, and finally turned into the appearance of the Void!

He didn't teleport back to the Void, but after sensing the location of the Void, he connected the space of this world with the Void, creating an overlapping space.

At this moment, he was in the Void, but not entirely in the Void!

"Lord... Lord of the Void!"

A somewhat panicked voice sounded. In Su Quan's line of sight, Laurie Juspeczyk knelt down in a panic.

Laurie Juspeczyk, the second Silk Spectre, from the Watchmen world.

Like Magik, she was taken by him to the Void to participate in the first Void Brawl Arena.

"It's you..."

Seeing the second Silk Spectre reminded him of Doctor Manhattan. Su Quan took the opportunity to observe the Arrowverse multiverse.

Flashpoint hadn't happened yet, and Doctor Manhattan hadn't taken the opportunity to restart the universe. Very good, there was still time, and he shouldn't miss this big event!

However...

The situation of the second Silk Spectre was a bit troublesome.

She was different from Magik, Sunspot, and the second Green Goblin, who were also taken to the Void by him.

It was easy for others to return to their worlds; he just needed to travel to the time point they left.

But the second Silk Spectre couldn't go back.

The Watchmen world had been restarted countless times by Doctor Manhattan and had long been ruined. Not to mention that a new version of her had replaced her existence after the restart, even if there hadn't been, the world she returned to wouldn't be the one she was familiar with.

This was his fault, and it was also Doctor Manhattan's fault, but overall, it was still his fault!

If he hadn't taken her out of the Watchmen universe, she wouldn't be homeless.

"Do you have any wishes?" Su Quan prepared to make it up to her.

The second Silk Spectre, kneeling on the ground, was a bit nervous. Hearing Su Quan's words, she raised her head slightly and tentatively asked: "Can... can you send me home?"

Su Quan shook his head: "Your home is gone."

W-what?

My home is gone?

"Jonathan will become Doctor Manhattan, who possesses supreme power in the future. In order to prevent your universe from heading toward destruction, after I took you away, he restarted the universe countless times."

"Everything you are familiar with is gone. There might be another you who has replaced you, so..."

"You can't go back."

Having lived in the Void for so long, the second Silk Spectre could fully understand what restarting the universe and another self replacing oneself meant.

"Can... can I never go back..."

The second Silk Spectre murmured.

Perhaps it was because she had been away for too long, or perhaps she had long been mentally prepared that she couldn't go back, she didn't collapse, nor was she too agitated.

"Change to another wish. As compensation for making you homeless, I will help you realize it!"

The second Silk Spectre shook her head blankly: "I... I don't know."

Su Quan asked: "Don't you want to leave the Void?"

"I do!"

The second Silk Spectre said with emotion: "But... my world, everything I am familiar with no longer exists. Even if I leave the Void, I don't know where to go."

"I have gotten used to life here, used to the people here. This is the only place I am familiar with now."

"Then follow me and truly become a part of the Void." Su Quan said.

The second Silk Spectre nodded and said softly: "Okay."

"Go call Magik and tell her I am in her world."

"Yes."

The second Silk Spectre agreed and went to find Magik.

Ten minutes later, the second Silk Spectre brought an excited Magik over.

"Can... can I go home?" As soon as she got close, Magik couldn't help but ask Su Quan excitedly.

Su Quan said: "I'm a bit interested in the sanitarium you stayed in before. I'm planning to take you to relive the old days."

The excitement on Magik's face froze instantly: "You want to take me back to the sanitarium? God, that hellhole is no different from a prison. What's good about it?"

"Can we not go back to the sanitarium?"
