Chapter 298 - 289
"Ms. Emma, give up. You know it won't work on me."
"On the contrary, it may end up hurting you."
Boom!!
The White Queen, who had been trying to use her psychic powers to probe Leon's mind, met his gaze. His seemingly calm eyes contained an overwhelming, terrifying aura.
In that instant, White Queen Emma's mind suffered a devastating shock. It felt as if a hammer had struck her consciousness, causing her body to sway. If not for Mystique's quick reflexes in supporting her, Emma might have truly embarrassed herself.
Regaining her composure, Emma looked up at Leon, disbelief evident in her beautiful eyes.
"How... how is this possible?"
White Queen Emma was one of the rare mutants who possessed multiple abilities. Among them, her telepathy was second only to Professor X's, and she could even construct formidable psychic barriers.
Her mental defenses were so strong that not even Professor X could easily break through them. On top of that, she had the ability to transform her entire body into diamond. In that state, she was nearly indestructible, capable of withstanding immense physical blows, and entirely immune to psychic attacks from other telepaths.
And yet—her powerful defenses had been shattered in an instant by nothing more than a single glance from the man in front of her.
Emma had heard of Leon's feats before and knew he might be the most powerful person in the world. But until now, she had never truly experienced his strength firsthand.
