Chapter 0144: Let's See Who Conquers Whom
Lorelai's proposal was somewhat unexpected and very attractive to Su Zhan, so Mei was worried that Su Zhan would agree.
She didn't believe Lorelai would surrender so easily; instead, it seemed more like a delaying tactic, or even a deliberate attempt to get close to Su Zhan.
Mei hastily opened her mouth to try and persuade Su Zhan not to agree, but Su Zhan spoke first.
He shook his head and said to Lorelai, "It sounds very appealing.
You can use this to escape S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Heavenly Palace's pursuit, and I can gain an assistant, or rather, a subordinate.
Your Ability can easily help me build an army and gather intelligence.
It seems I should agree to your proposal, shouldn't I?"
"Of course, I can do all the things you mentioned with ease," Lorelai said affirmatively.
She smiled and slowly walked towards Su Zhan, saying as she went, "You can imagine, with my help, your War Alliance will quickly become the strongest organization on Earth.
If you wish, I can make you President, I can make you the sole king on Earth, as long as…"
"You submit to me!"
Unbeknownst to Su Zhan, Lorelai's hand was already on his shoulder.
Lorelai's heart rejoiced, and a triumphant expression instantly appeared on her face.
"Oh no!"
Mei was startled.
Listening to Lorelai's words, she had involuntarily thought of that possibility and hadn't noticed that Lorelai had already touched Su Zhan.
If Lorelai controlled Su Zhan, Mei dared not imagine what would happen.
She rushed towards Lorelai, but Lorelai easily dodged her.
Lorelai, with her hand on Su Zhan's shoulder, moved behind him, brought her lips close to Su Zhan's ear, and, looking at Mei, triumphantly whispered, "Kill her!"
"No, Su Zhan, quickly wake up, she's controlling you!" Mei shouted, retreating cautiously while trying to rouse Su Zhan.
"Don't waste your breath, he can't escape my control.
What a pity… Tsk tsk, I originally thought he would be the king I've always been searching for.
Now it seems he's not; he's just a pawn in my hand, my puppet…"
"So, you only submit to a king?
It seems you Asgardian women are all quite similar," Su Zhan suddenly said.
Lorelai was startled and quickly moved away from him.
"This… how is this possible?"
Although Lorelai had always been searching for what she considered a king, no one had ever been able to resist her charm and control.
Now, suddenly seeing that Su Zhan was not controlled by her, she was somewhat slow to react.
"Perhaps, I am the king you speak of?" Su Zhan turned around and looked at Lorelai.
The reason he wasn't controlled was simple: he copied Lorelai's Ability and found that the two Abilities would cancel each other out.
That's why he knew Lorelai was deliberately trying to get close to him and control him, but he didn't stop her.
She really wanted to see Lorelai's expression.
Now, she saw it.
It was quite interesting.
"Boom!"
A loud noise suddenly appeared in the sky.
Lorelai looked up, her expression instantly changed, and then she suddenly shouted at Su Zhan, "I'll come back for you."
As her voice fell, a green light suddenly appeared around her, and in the blink of an eye, she was already hidden within it, disappearing from sight.
"Is this magic teleportation?" Su Zhan was somewhat surprised; he didn't expect her to have this skill.
He tried to locate Lorelai's position but found he couldn't.
"You'll come back for me, will you?
Then let's see, will you conquer me, or will I conquer you!"
Lorelai's magic teleportation was indeed a bit unexpected for him, as he didn't feel that he had copied this Ability, so he didn't anticipate her having such a skill.
However, if he wanted to stop her, it would have been easy; he just needed to stop time, but he didn't do that.
She had aroused a challenge in Su Zhan.
"Who is this again?"
Mei looked at the woman who suddenly appeared, holding a sword and shield, dressed in silver armor, and looking like a warrior, and couldn't help but ask.
"Still an Asgardian, but this one is one of us!"
Su Zhan said with a smile and opened his arms to Sif.
Sif hesitated for a moment, then walked over and hugged Su Zhan.
Mei's expression became a little strange.
"Why did it take you so long to come down?
I thought you'd arrive earlier," Su Zhan asked Sif after they released each other.
"You knew I was coming?" Sif asked in surprise.
"Lorelai escaped from the Heavenly Palace, so you would definitely want to capture her and bring her back.
Her Ability is special, so you are the most suitable person.
Moreover, I'm here too, so I figured you would definitely come down," Su Zhan said with a smile.
Sif nodded: "You're right, I was indeed ordered to capture Lorelai and bring her back.
As soon as I confirmed her location, I came down, but I didn't expect her to escape.
By the way, are you alright?"
"You can tell by looking at me that I'm fine.
Her Ability has no effect on me," Su Zhan explained.
"No effect?
Why is that?
To this day, I haven't heard of anyone being able to nullify Lorelai's Ability," Sif said, surprised.
"Because I am Su Zhan.
If I weren't special, how could I be your man?" Su Zhan whispered in Sif's ear, and Sif's face instantly turned red.
"Perhaps, not just my man, right?"
"Ahem, this…"
Sif's words instantly choked Su Zhan, and he stammered for a long time without making any sense.
Fortunately, Sif only said one sentence and didn't press the matter, which made Su Zhan breathe a sigh of relief.
It seemed she wasn't going to hold it against him?
"Lorelai is very cunning.
Now that she's run off, it will probably be difficult to find her again.
I need your help!" Sif said, looking at Su Zhan.
Su Zhan nodded: "Don't worry, we'll definitely find her."
Even if they didn't look for her, she would come to them.
"Ahem, shouldn't we go back?"
Seeing that the two seemed to have finished talking, Mei coughed twice and said.
"Mm, let's go back."
Su Zhan nodded in agreement, releasing his lantern ring energy.
He couldn't teleport two people at once, so they could only fly back.
Chapter 0145: Getting Along After a Short Separation
Su Zhan took Mei and Sif back to rendezvous with Coulson and Skye.
After landing, Coulson walked over and, seeing Sif, paused and said, "Isn't that Lorelai?
Why is it Sif?"
"Lorelai ran away, and Sif also came down to catch her," Su Zhan simply said, then entered the plane, and Mei followed, explaining to Coulson.
Inside the plane, Fitz, Simmons, and Skye looked at Sif curiously; her attire was indeed very eye-catching.
"This is Sif, an Asgardian, the female warrior goddess of the Heavenly Palace, here to capture Lorelai."
None of them had met Sif before, so Su Zhan introduced her to avoid any misunderstanding that Sif was Lorelai.
Sif placed her left hand in front of her, her arm slightly bent, and her body leaning forward, greeting them.
This was the Asgardian way of greeting.
Su Zhan had been a little worried about Sif and Skye meeting, but apparently, he had worried too much.
Skye was unaware, and Sif didn't deliberately do anything; she seemed very calm, and the two even chatted for a few sentences.
Since this matter was no longer a concern, Su Zhan pondered Lorelai.
He tried to locate Lorelai again, but still couldn't.
Su Zhan was a little curious: was it because she went to some special place he couldn't locate, or was it because she was an Asgardian that he couldn't locate her?
After thinking for a moment, Su Zhan tried to locate Sif.
The result was that Sif was clearly nearby but still couldn't be located.
It seemed that it was because of the Asgardian nature that they couldn't be located.
