Chapter 212 10. You guessed it right! It’s the Stitch Monster from Secret Wars + Crisis on Infinite Earths
Since joining the Stellaris Society and becoming a member of the cross-world villain organization, Mason and his team members have been speculating on the truth of the so-called "Impact" incident.
From a supernova explosion destroying a galaxy in an instant, to the extinction of the sun leading to the death of all things, and even more outrageous conjectures that the collapse of the parallel world system instantly triggers the extinction of all things.
But it wasn't until the impact incident suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes in an absolutely real manner that they realized that their previous conjectures were still too advanced.
The true face of Doomsday comes quietly.
Even almost simple, not as cool as imagined.
But it is this simplicity that makes every change so shocking, so shocking that only one word is needed to describe the state of people's hearts at this time:
"Fuck!"
Zha Kang, who was busy assembling the transfer gate with Captain Jack and his crew full of complaints at the city gate, looked up and saw the reflection of the world in front of him, and his hair immediately stood up.
Unlike those idiots who were still pointing at the sky, John Constantine, a master of magic, understood all the truth of this "impact" event almost instantly.
He no longer hides it.
With a whoosh, he teleported himself from the ground to the highest point of the city. He took out a very delicate golden armillary sphere and put it in his hand to check certain magic parameters that only he could understand.
The more he checked, the paler Zha Kang's face became.
"The space frame is disordered, the magic network is collapsing, the spell casting constant is out of balance, and the planet's tides are also affected. The next step should be the damage to the earth's core."
"Boom"
As soon as he finished speaking, a violent earthquake erupted just as the words were spoken.
When Constantine looked back at the great plain behind him, terrifying cracks were bursting out from under the earth, tearing apart the earth's crust and allowing hot magma to break through the shackles and spread from the center of the earth.
Further away, at the end of the line of sight, there is the majestic scene of a volcanic eruption. The magma that was ejected high into the sky dragged a long tail from the clouds and bombarded the earth like a meteor shower.
The terrain around Virginia City was reshaped almost instantly.
One-fifth of the city walls on the edge of the entire city collapsed in an instant, and a large number of screaming zombies rushed into the city, attracted by the scent of flesh and blood.
Zha Kang, who had no time to think about it, immediately took out the sewn magic floating cloak from his bag and tied it on his body. He flew into the sky and rushed towards the chaotic land like Superman. He also used the ability given by the god-like devil from the Association of Stars to summon him. A large number of hellhounds appeared out of thin air, mixed with the smell of burning sulfur and pounced on the crazy zombies.
Zha Kang just did it instinctively to ensure that the collapse of the surroundings would not affect the opening of the transfer door, and his attention never moved away from the vision above his head.
The effect of the reinforcements Mason gave him was presented in a perfect way at this time. Constantine, who was multitasking, was still stable and orderly, and even the magic thread at hand did not shake at all.
With this level of spellcasting, Kama Taj is qualified to be brothers with the "treasury management" version of Lao Wang.
As a spellcaster, he can feel more clearly than ordinary people that the illusion of the world reflected in the sky above his head is getting closer to reality every second.
That's not an illusion.
There really is another world emerging from another dimension and in a dimension close to the Caribbean world. This process is very rapid and the "tremor" originating from the basic power of the dark star sea makes it completely unstoppable.
Unless you have the power to influence the rules of the universe.
And once the strange world that is "breaking out of the shadow" in front of us moves to a suitable position, the two worlds that almost completely overlap in astronomical units will be attracted by each other's gravity and collapse.
There will be no collision, no sparks hitting the earth. Both worlds will shatter into pieces like cracked walnuts in that second, and then become extinguished ash in the dark stars.
This process never takes more than 48 hours.
But don't worry.
At that time, no one will feel the pain and despair, and no one will be able to witness the final moment.
Because before the two worlds are annihilated by each other, the world-class disaster caused by the imbalance of gravity, gravity, and various magic constants is enough to exterminate all life in the two worlds within a few hours.
The collapse and annihilation of the world and the world is only the end of the end, not the beginning.
"Mason? Mason where are you? Bastard! Come here!"
Zha Kang shouted crazily in the air.
He cursed:
"Now tell me what should we do?
Gotta go now! Must leave immediately. Big earthquakes are followed by deep collapse of the continental shelf! Sea levels will rise rapidly until they submerge the world and usher in the extinction of all things as the core of the earth collapses.
Hell, two days at most.”
"Stop howling, John, Mason isn't here."
Ergong's voice sounded in the team communication:
"He just went to Peter's world for a while and will be back soon. Are you okay over there? Open the door quickly! We have to get everyone here out before the earthquake destroys the city.
Jack? Did you hear that?
Open the door! ”
"This hasn't been debugged yet."
Captain Jack shouted a little numbly at this moment, but then he saw Zha Kang whizzing down from the sky, swinging his kick and kicking open the door to the world that was still being debugged.
The World Gate equipped with the Transfer Gate module opens to both sides, and the image of Osborne Tower is reflected in its swirling and shining starlight.
Zha Kang and Jack could even clearly see Catwoman and Lady Elizabeth who were busy directing them on the other side.
Everyone in the Iceberg Bar was mobilized there, commanded by two dashing ladies in women's suits to maintain order. Even Judy was helping.
There are also a large number of Osborne guards, fully armed and waiting.
The World Gate equipped with the Transfer Gate module can temporarily switch the landing point to the target world and allow more lives to pass through at the same time.
This thing is a device specially used by the stars for large-scale life transfer in this kind of doomsday. It will only be distributed in important worlds when the impact is approaching.
But it's not a panacea.
Zha Kang knew this.
The proximity of the two worlds to each other in different dimensions will eventually affect the accuracy of the World Gate, and it is very likely that this thing will fail when the impact reaches the final stage.
If a complete world opens the door to transfer at this time, it will definitely be hopeless.
But fortunately or unfortunately, there are only so many people alive in the Caribbean world, and most of them are gathered in nearby areas. If we start moving now, there will barely be enough time.
"Aren't they afraid of being discovered when they all went there so blatantly? Didn't it mean that the magicians were monitoring Gotham?"
Captain Jack exclaimed.
Zha Kang blew out the smoke ring fiercely and said:
"It's like this here, do you think we can still be safe over there? The Justice League and Batboy are probably on fire now, how can they have time to pay attention to Gotham's affairs?
Everyone in the magic circle must have been mobilized as well. It doesn't matter as long as they don't get discovered before they finish.
What are you still doing there?
Waiting to die? ”
The black magician turned his head viciously and looked at the aristocratic woman beside him who was holding a child with a panicked expression. He stretched out his hand and pinched the lady's overly plump ass.
When the other party exclaimed like he was waking up from a dream, the dark wizard pointed at the Starlight Gate in front of him and said in a rough tone:
"Take your cub over there!"
"Remember you owe us a life! All of you! You owe Team K one, no, two lives!"
——
"Is this the truth?"
In the laboratory of Osborne Tower, Mason, who rushed over in a hurry, had no time to be polite. He stared at the old Green Goblin, Dr. Otto and a group of people in charge gathered here and said:
"Do two planets in a parallel world system collide at a specific time? Until all the worlds are wiped out? This is really simple and crude.
It seems that I have made things complicated. ”
"No, not all planets."
The old Green Goblin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking up at the reflection of the world that also appeared in the sky of his own world.
He shook his head and said:
"Only Earth!
The earth in all parallel world systems will perish one by one in this cruel way. If we don't want to become a broken star ring among the dark stars, we can only destroy the world that collides with us before the world collides.
I've seen such a scene before.
This is the second time.”
"So, more than three years ago, our world survived at the cost of another world dying because of us?"
The atmosphere in the laboratory became gloomy. The old spider held his daughter, who still didn't know what was going on and was curiously watching the changes in the sky, and said softly:
"Is this the price of surviving the apocalypse? Do you have to stain your hands with blood to survive?"
"Don't be stupid. At that time, you were still hiding underground and pretending that the world was peaceful."
Old Norman Osborne sneered and said:
"Why do you think the Star Society spreads viruses in the parallel world? Isn't it just to make you kind-hearted cuties less entangled in making decisions?
When you learn that your world can only survive by destroying other people's worlds, someone is bound to jump out and shout that humanity is supreme.
But what if your enemies are a group of monsters?
If the world opposite you has been reduced to ruins long before the end.
In this way, you will naturally not have any psychological burden when you are determined to destroy them, just like what we are going to do now.
Otto, are you okay yet? ”
He shouted impatiently at Doctor Octopus who was busy in the laboratory. Dr. Otto, who was wearing a hippie cultural shirt, said without raising his head:
"Give me a little more time. The machine they sent is a bit strange. It's my first time to calibrate the phase coordinates, so I can't make any mistakes.
Also, Norman, are you sure that the world opposite is full of zombies? ”
"Look, what did I say?"
The old Green Goblin's tone became more sarcastic, and he said:
"We have all become like this, and our kind-hearted Doctor Octopus is still in the mood to consider the feelings of the other side. So what if the other side is not a world where zombies are rampant?
If there were still living people and a complete civilization in that world, what choices do you think they would make when faced with the current situation?
If they had a nuclear bomb in their hands, do you think they would hesitate for a second when they dropped the bomb this way?
After all, according to their observations, our world is already full of zombies.
Don't be stupid!
Don't pin our hope of survival on the mercy of the other side.
Open when ready!
No time for jokes now. ”
"The transfer door has been opened successfully, Mason. It is in the square in Area C. Your people are maintaining order there."
Just as a group of people were talking, the door of the laboratory was pushed open, and Matt Murdock in the Daredevil suit walked in and said to Mason:
"The first batch of refugees from the world you designated are entering Osborne Tower. Everything is going according to plan. Don't worry. If everything goes well on your side, they will all be able to pass safely before the worlds collide."
"That's not what I'm worried about now."
Mason frowned and looked at the instruments used to monitor the conditions of this world in the laboratory in front of him.
While various natural disasters broke out in the Caribbean world due to the approaching impact, the Spider-Man world was not able to escape these crises. The drawings of the instrument showed that just a few minutes ago, the entire ruined Western Europe had sunk in a major earthquake.
"I am really doubtful about whether the life-saving device that Quint will send will be effective."
He was still troubled by the truth of the "shock" incident he had witnessed with his own eyes, and his mind was so confused that he wanted to drink a few bottles of demulcents to calm down.
He took out the medicine bottle and unscrewed the stopper, and said:
"I had a quarrel with them before, and now I really doubt their sincerity. I didn't send those people here just to send them from one hell to another."
"Can you at least have some confidence in your own organization? Even if you don't trust them, don't make it so obvious."
The old Green Goblin showed a weird smile and said:
"Mason, you can stay here and watch how it works. Perhaps this will give you a clearer understanding of the true strength of our enemy.
Also, if you're serious about taking on the Liquidators in that Pirates of the Caribbean world, you should be ready now.
Based on my understanding of those mad dogs, they will not miss this good opportunity. It is said that during the preparation stage of the impact, the intervals between the parallel worlds will be temporarily broken, making it easier to travel through the worlds.
If I were them, I would definitely take action at this time. ”
"That's what I'm here for."
Mason walked to the window and glanced down.
Next to a vehicle warehouse on the ground below, the re-armed "Magic Lizard" was driving out of the warehouse little by little. The reinforcements from the outer armor to the weapon system made it once again become a beast full of fangs. War weapons.
Fenrir's armor is being made final adjustments by Judy.
The military drones that were mass-produced at Osborne Tower were also being loaded onto trucks and prepared to be sent to the Caribbean world for Barbara to control.
There is also a special type of weapon missile that is being taken out from the Osborne Tower silo and is being carefully loaded into the arsenal of the Demon Lizard tank.
That was a tactical nuclear bomb "friendly gift" from the old Green Goblin.
These things greatly strengthened Mason's confidence.
"You have to be careful."
Perhaps out of the goodwill between his new companions, the gloomy and cunning old Green Goblin whispered to Mason:
"The Liquidators are just trouble at the beginning. I've been in contact with those guys a lot and I know a lot about them. If they are determined to get their hands on something, then defeating the first wave of landed bastards is just the beginning. < br>
Once they think they need to apply for support, they will send out more dangerous 'vanguards'.
Those guys were called ‘conquerors’.
Have you heard of this name? ”
"Yeah."
Mason touched his restless hat and said:
"I have personally seen a world destroyed by conquerors. It is said that only two or three people were used to complete a worldwide massacre."
"Yes, that's what I want to say."
The Green Goblin snorted, narrowed his eyes and said:
"You are likely to encounter them, Mason. Those are monsters that can destroy civilization alone. The current apparent strength of Team K is completely insufficient to compete with them.
Therefore, when nothing can be done, retreat in time, and don't risk your life just for some ridiculous orders.
You have to survive before you can have a future. ”
The old Green Goblin, who had already been in contact with Mason's organization and gained an "identity", drew a Gwent card and put it in his hand. Mason noticed a "7" in the corner of the card in his hand.
Mason also drew his own card and kept his identity as strict as an underground worker joint.
Old Norman Osborne laughed twice, patted Mason on the shoulder and said:
"You see, I am now a member of this small organization. Although I have only had one contact with them, I roughly understand some of the purposes of this organization.
It is not as noble or great as I thought, and it just came into being with certain ideas like the Society of Stars.
I have one more option at my fingertips, which is great.
But I'm still craving more.
You just said you had an argument with them?
Tsk tsk, Mason, I have always known that you are a young man with ideas, and I am also willing to be your friend and partner, so if you need help, don't hide it.
For example, now, I will help you without reservation.
I reorganized the Six-Headed Snake Team. They are all stupid and clumsy, but they are good for fighting. Now they are at your disposal. Take them there later.
You're going to need help. ”
"I don't need it right now. I won't be polite to you when I need it."
Mason nodded, stared at the instrument in front of him and then looked up at the sky.
He said:
"But Norman, please just let me be quiet now, okay? I want to appreciate the methods of the Star Club." (End of Chapter)
