Chapter 283 Magic Tricks
Everyone present was stunned for a moment when they saw the metal shell beneath Ant-Man's flesh and blood.
Although he is old and his former glory has faded, Magneto's ruthlessness has never disappeared.
After shattering Ant-Man's true form with a single blow, he didn't hesitate and manipulated the iron sand surrounding him to attack the White Queen, the only telepath present.
"What? It wasn't me!"
Seeing this, the White Queen Emma Foster couldn't even utter a few words in her own defense before she had to transform into a diamond body. Her smooth, snow-white skin hardened to the extreme, barely managing to withstand the close-range impact of the magnetic fluid.
With her arms outstretched, the diamond shield extended outwards, repelling the magnetic sand. After exiting her diamond form, the White Queen's eyes flashed with a cold light as she rapidly approached Magneto's location.
Kara, who was standing nearby, reacted immediately. Within a fraction of a second, she opened her eyes and unleashed her killing move, sending her heat vision toward Magneto.
"This is complete chaos!"
Joey, who had already been paying close attention to the sudden turn of events, sensed something was wrong when the White Queen was about to return to her normal form from her diamond form despite Magneto's deadly attack.
In her normal human form, the Hundred Queens is physically fragile and can use telepathy, but in her diamond form, she is extremely hard and can no longer disturb the minds of others. He knew that the other party had used telepathy again.
Having anticipated this, Joey stepped in front of Magneto, extending his palm and using his bio-field to neutralize the intense heat of the ten-million-degree Celsius thermometer.
He hadn't expected that the person controlled by the White Queen would be Kara.
Shouldn't the mind of a violent, madwoman like this be difficult to disrupt?
In that instant, Joey's brain raced, searching for a solution to the problem.
They were inside an underground ruin thousands of miles below the sea in Bermuda. If he and Kara were to clash, the shockwave generated by their fists striking each other would be enough to cause this fragile shelter to collapse instantly.
At such a depth, the pressure of the seawater is terrifying. If the shelter collapses and seawater floods in, few people on site will survive.
While Joey was fretting over this, he realized something—it was too slow.
Everything in the room slowed down instantly.
More importantly, the same applies to Kara.
The White Queen disrupted her mind to the point that she was unable to demonstrate the speed of thought and action that a Kryptonian like Joey could match.
Normally, the other person would probably have punched Joey in the face immediately, but now she was just as stunned as everyone else.
Okay, let's think about it one by one now that things have come to this.
Realizing that he could actually think for a very long time, Joey decided to observe the current situation first.
Ant-Man, whose right cheek was pierced by a single blow, is regenerating body tissue from the wound; his flesh and machines are intertwined.
There's an inexplicable and eerie quality to it.
So that's what happened.
Spider-Man's spider-sense is an extremely overpowered ability; his ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune is almost as accurate as predicting the future, which cannot be explained simply by biological mutation.
However, having learned from the experience of some creatures being stimulated by bio-field disturbances in Mark's universe, Joey never took the spider-like sensations that Zhang Parker frequently experienced shortly after meeting Ant-Man seriously.
Upon their first meeting, the danger that Zhang Parker sensed did not come from Joey's abnormal biofield.
It came from Ultron, who was disguised as Ant-Man!
Countless iron filings continued to gather around Magneto, the strongest magnetic field manipulator on Earth, who was clearly preparing to launch an indiscriminate attack, stirring up a magnetohydrodynamic storm in this small shelter where a mere graze would result in death and a single touch would result in injury.
How did Magneto realize this and launch the attack?
Joey's gaze fell on Magneto's head—obviously, it was the helmet that blocked telepathy.
That was supposed to be Magneto's way of protecting himself from his best friend, Professor X, but it turns out it's actually coming in handy here.
Iceman and Zhang Parker remained rooted to the spot with a look of astonishment.
These two aren't exactly quick-witted, and besides, it's a bit much to expect them to notice something that even Joey and Kara couldn't figure out.
As for Joey, who had meticulously scanned her from head to toe, he was seriously considering whether to finish her off with a heat vision.
This insider deal makes absolutely no sense. Ant-Man is an android created by Ultron, which is understandable.
The White Queen is a genuine, original carbon-based living being with some X genes mixed in. What kind of mentality would lead her to use her telepathic abilities to control Magneto?
something wrong.
Unable to understand this or that, Joey realized that if he kept looking back and forth like this, even if he had a lot of time, it wouldn't be enough for him to waste.
Eager to temporarily stabilize the current situation, Joey was about to make a forceful decision, at least to knock out the White Queen, when he caught a glimpse of purple lightning flashing from the gaps in Kara's armor.
With a snap, Kara, who had been moving at a "slow" pace like the others, suddenly sprang into action after the purple arc of electricity appeared. Before Joey could even react, her burning gaze swept across the area, cleaving the White Queen in two at the waist.
After making this move, blood spurted from her nostrils, and she immediately let out a muffled groan and knelt down on the ground.
Joey rushed forward and opened his arms to catch Carla, preventing her from landing face-first. He noticed that Carla was not unconscious, but her face was contorted with veins and she was sweating profusely, as if she was enduring unbearable pain.
"I'm fine! This is a pre-set emergency plan within the armor."
Pale-faced, Kara gritted her teeth and cursed her uncle, each word dripping with veiled contempt: "Damn Joe El!"
Over the past two decades, the Kryptonians have encountered many formidable enemies in their conquest of the universe, including those who can manipulate minds.
The upgraded suit of armor newly developed by Jor El also includes the ability to monitor the host's status and automatically disengage from mind control, although the disengagement method is rather simplistic and crude—
Since Kryptonians are tough and resilient, why not just use the Pain Matrix on the wearer? That should wake them up no matter what kind of mind control they're under.
After figuring out what had happened, Joey didn't know what kind of expression to make.
Joe Al's design philosophy for this equipment is truly remarkable – it's all about sheer force and sheer power.
The Pain Matrix is technology that Jor-El copied from Apokolips. Starfire suffered because of it when he first encountered him in the Watchtower.
When Darkseid used it, he was able to control the parallel universe's Superman, who completely overwhelmed him in terms of physical strength, for several seconds, rendering him unable to move due to the intense pain of the attack spreading throughout his body. How much more so for someone like Kara, who has already suffered enough beatings.
Kara, awakened by the Pain Matrix, immediately followed Magneto's lead and killed Emma, the White Queen, who was the only one present with telepathic abilities.
However, her intense gaze wasn't just about eliminating the Hundred Queens.
Boom!
This is the sound of the outer walls of the ruins collapsing. The overflowing heat rays also severed the entire structure of the ruins. The prehistoric pyramids, which were already barely hanging on, finally met their destruction.
Such a crack would be insignificant to a pyramid on land, but this is 20,000 miles underwater, where the immense water pressure could crush the entire pyramid ruins in the next second.
Upon hearing the commotion, Joey quickly grabbed Kara and Zhang Parker, the only two people he was sure were safe, intending to salvage as many as possible before the pyramid collapsed.
Then he realized something was wrong.
Why didn't seawater flow in?
This is the result of Scarlet Witch's continued efforts to maintain the prehistoric magic circle at the core of this underground ruin.
"Yes, but no."
Seemingly sensing the question on Joey's face, a dark green figure floated out from the center of the ruins. The god of lies and pranks very politely answered Joey's questions:
"It's the effect of magic, but not the Scarlet Witch. How about the Green Wizard?"
As Loki appeared, the entire ruins began to fade, revealing a cold, solid metallic surface.
