Chapter 214 12 Doomsday Lonely Army


Chapter 214 12. Doomsday Alone

In the square of Area C of Osborne Tower, the huge transfer door is shining with bright light, like a wall of light curtain, from which doomsday refugees from another world are rushing out one after another.

Many of them were still stained with volcanic ash and blood, some were carrying children, some were dragging boxes, and many more rushed over with empty hands and fear on their faces.

What came into view was a towering metal tower that no one in the 18th century could have imagined, and an indifferent city filled with silvery gray light in the sun.

This is a completely different scenery from Virginia Harbor.

The people escaping from the apocalypse would always stop and take a look subconsciously, and then they would be beaten down with long electric sticks, and they would be scolded and asked to move forward immediately and not block the way of those behind.

There are too many people. This is the transfer of nearly a million people in the apocalypse. Even if the old Green Goblin vacates the large square in Area C that can accommodate tens of thousands of people in advance, a slight stagnation will still lead to pushing and even stampede accidents.

The current Iceberg Bar security personnel and former pirates from the Black Pearl performed this task without any hesitation. Wearing black uniforms, they knocked down the sticks in their hands, which always made the overwhelmed people grin in pain.

There were also some guards wearing flight reports flying around in the air to maintain order.

But no one was complaining at this point.

They were all frightened by the doomsday scene they had just witnessed.

"Cat goddess! It's the goddess!"

Someone in the crowd shouted something, and suddenly a large group of people came over and gathered around Selina, who was wearing a cloak and looking a little pale, and was being supported by Mary Jane.

These superstitious people from the sea have long heard the legend of the "cat goddess who brings hope". Seeing a real person and the experience of being fished out of the disaster made their hesitant hearts almost stop. Reduced in an instant to hearsay belief.

The tearful prayers in despair also seemed so sincere.

It's enough to impress people.

This sudden scene made Lady Catwoman, who was maintaining order in the square with her army of servants, a little confused for a moment. When the people on Turtle Island shouted about the cat goddess, she just thought it was fun and let it go.

But the current situation is terrible.

Seeing that more and more people were coming towards her and kneeling down to worship her, if they were not stopped, a strange religion might really emerge. But just when Selina was supported by Mary Jane and stood on a box, ready to explain, Mason's voice came from behind:

"Let them be, no need to explain too much."

"Huh?"

Catwoman looked back at Mason, who had put on the black Anti-Superman suit but without the helmet.

The chest of this thick armor no longer emits purple fluorescence, but is replaced by an Ark reactor that emits a faint light. From a distance, it looks like a light is ignited in the black metal.

"They are people from an ancient world where gods existed, Selina. Faith is a part of their lives."

Wearing power armor, Mason is nearly 2.5 meters tall. Like a majestic metal knight, Mason approaches the "cat goddess" in the eyes of the doomsday refugees in the horrified and fearful eyes.

He said to Selena, who was full of hesitation:

"Instead of letting those fabricated cults occupy the hearts of these refugees who are in desperate need of comfort after the end of the world, it is better for you to take action. At least we all know that you will not do anything other than asking these poor people to offer you various jewelry. Let them do some cruel human sacrifices and stuff.

Getting them here is just the beginning.”

Mason looked at the increasing number of doomsday refugees in front of him, he shook his head and said:

"Osborne Tower cannot accommodate so many people. The old Green Goblin told me that after a short rest here, they will have to go to the abandoned New York City to rebuild their lives. Dr. Connors's lizard people will help them as much as possible.


Any beneficial stabilizing factor in this situation is precious.

Since they call you a goddess, then just pretend to be a real goddess for once. Your appearance and temperament are definitely enough and I think this kind of Cosplay difficulty will not be difficult for you. ”

"I don't like to pretend."

Catwoman put her hands on her hips and said:

"Although it is true that many men have called me their goddess on various occasions, but I think the meanings of the two are different.

Are you about to pass?

Need help?

You know, Bruce came to see me a few days ago, and as you asked, I told him everything I could. I feel like if you need help, all it takes is a phone call and he'll start mobilizing immediately.

No one in the Justice League dares to object to something like this, otherwise Superboy will blow their heads off. ”

"We will need him, but not now, we have our troubles and they have theirs. I leave it to you, ladies, and I'll see you after the war."

Mason shook his head and put on the black battle helmet. The moment the metal battle helmet was buckled, the special Isu Pioneer Armor data module was immediately connected. The Sorting Hat originally worn on his head immediately transformed into a ring on the young man's head. forehead, does not affect his human-computer interaction with the Anti-Superman suit.

The heavily armed anti-Superman suit strode forward like a giant. The doomsday refugees rushing out of the light curtain in front naturally made way for this black mechanical warrior.

People are whispering that this is the Iron Knight under the great and beautiful cat goddess.

The 2077 War Vehicle Demonic Lizard, which has been modified from the inside out, slowly moves forward in a suspended propulsion posture. There is also an oversized war weapon in its rear armor filled with weapon modules. A storage jar.

"About to enter the transfer gate, the Draman process takes over and switches to autopilot. Good luck, Mason."

Judy's voice sounded over the Anti-Superman suit's communications.

She warned:

"I installed a self-destruct module on the Demon Lizard, and its power is considerable. Don't begrudge the vehicle when necessary. You already have the blueprints, and you can knock out one yourself with both hands.

People are the most important.

In addition, I have contacted Lao Wei, and he has prepared a complete set of prostheses to be inserted into the operating cabin. I know you don't want you or your team members to become 'reformers' like us.

But this is a war after all.

Just go ahead and do it.

As long as you are not completely dead, we can bring you back. ”

"Hey! Didn't Captain Morgan teach you?"

Before entering the light curtain of the transfer door, Mason replied dissatisfiedly:

"Don't raise such a flag before a war! And can you say something nice?"

With such complaints, Mason's figure disappeared into the curtain of starlight. Behind him, the Demon Lizard vehicle that switched to autopilot also approached the light curtain in a very stable posture like a flying heavy tank.

The neutral male voice of Dramman, the intelligent AI who originally drove a taxi in Night City, echoed in the empty cockpit:

"The Delaman Intelligent Travel Program is at your service. The current service program is the 'Excellence' package, with combat mode unlocked and vehicle body self-inspection"

The moment he entered the light curtain, the originally peaceful electronic sound suddenly became violent.

Although the voice is still the same, this AI seems to have suddenly entered the state of "cyber psychosis" from the "electronic butler" mode, screaming at the top of its lungs:

"Didi! Bastard! Egg! I will kill you!"

"What's coming from the other side?"

The sharp shouts startled Zha Kang and Jack who were still in Virginia City on the other side of the transfer gate. The two guys were organizing an orderly evacuation of the people in the city, and then they saw that the transfer gate was temporarily cut off.

The familiar black armor strode out, causing the crowd to exclaim.

Behind Mason, another powerful thing that looked like a combination of a tank and an aerial vehicle appeared bit by bit, causing those poor people who were frightened by the sudden change of scene to have their legs trembling and fall to their knees as soon as their legs became weak. .

"Delaman, first test of gravity well module."

Mason, who was driving the Anti-Superman suit, said to the onboard AI in the cockpit:

"Activate it, slowly increase the electric stimulation, be gentle, don't turn it up to the maximum all at once."

"I understand, Mason, you don't have to stress."

The automatic program in the tank has gone crazy, but the Draman program in the Mason armor is still very stable. This intelligent AI suspected of multiple schizophrenia said in a gentle tone:

"After leaving Night City, I was widely used by the Afterlife Team on various occasions, including the laboratory auxiliary program. The program I was rewritten can complete the testing of new modules independently. You only need to focus on combat. Order, dear passengers

Then, the new module test begins.10% power supply"

"Buzz"

A ball of electric arc danced in the Anti-Superman armor's boots. It was activated by the two gravity well engineering devices that Mason had just put in. The liquid gravity was stimulated by the electric current and transformed into a form. The moment it changed form, it transformed the surrounding gravity and exerted it on this heavy On top of the armor.

In Mason's exclamation, the anti-Superman suit took off on the spot in an instant, and in the blink of an eye it danced up to a height of 100 meters.

Fortunately, this thing is not propelled by a rocket, otherwise his poor control posture would be enough to cause him to lose stability and perform Brownian motion in the air.

After the activation of this very unscientific gravity well, it creates an invisible "anti-gravity field", in which Mason and his armor are equivalent to being wrapped.

Therefore, even though the lift-off attitude is terrible, once it flies up, it won't crash down again.

"With all due respect, passenger."

The airborne AI Draman was also startled. It hurriedly reduced the power supply to prevent Mason from continuing to float to prevent him from flying into an altitude of 10,000 meters and freezing to death. It reminded kindly:

"You may need to install a flight control module to help you better control this gravity well system whose principles I don't understand at all. Maybe you can enter knowledge about 'magic' into my database to help me better "Deep Learning"

"Shut up! You terrible third-rate driver."

Mason cursed angrily.

The good-natured Delamain did not refute. This time it was indeed not good enough.

"I will manually control the electrical energy input of the gravity well, and leave the rest to you."

He adjusted the mode so that he could adapt to the way of flying in the air little by little, and it took him a few minutes to land next to Zha Kang and Jack.

With a click, the full-covering visor popped to both sides, revealing Mason's face.

He looked around and saw that the reflection of the world hanging above his head was much more "real" than before he left. At this rate, it might be completely "coinciding" with the earth under Mason's feet within a day.

"Did you hear that?"

Zha Kang, holding a coral trident as a staff, said in a mean and mysterious manner beside Mason:

"The earth beneath our feet is groaning in pain, and it is collapsing under the load every minute and every second. That is the sound of the continental shelf collapsing, and this is just the beginning.

Our 'new friends' are steering the seas to keep rapidly rising sea levels from flooding back, but global tides are already forming.

This world will first be buried by icy sea water, and in the abyss that is colder than ice, the scorching core of the earth will fall apart, and finally with a bang, this world and us in it will be exposed to the deep space. .

Until then, may our deaths please the dark stars. ”

"Shut up! What time has it been and you are still reciting poetry? Are you possessed by Etrigan?"

Mason said:

"It's not like I won't let you run away, and I didn't say I would fight to the death here. Haven't the liquidators arrived yet?"

"No, but soon."

Captain Jack held the cigarette butt in his mouth and pinched the small pistol in his hand anxiously, and said:

"Colypso is very uneasy. She said that she can feel the danger approaching, but the formation of the big tide is a good thing. It greatly enhances the power she can control as the sea god."

"Here you go."

Mason saw Jack's uneasiness. He took out the Batmobile model from his bag and gave it to his team members and said:

"The weapon system has been replaced. Delamain's onboard AI is responsible for driving. When the time comes, you can control the weapon to explode. It's all fool-like interactions that won't trouble you. This is your world and your land. Jack.

You have to fight for it. ”

"Mason!"

At this moment, Ergong and Barbara also used their flying claws to pull their bodies and jumped down from the crumbling tower, swinging to Mason's side. There was no fear on the Bat Girl's face. When she fell, she reported to Mason in a low voice: < br>


"Those pirates also wanted to run away, but Will Turner suddenly appeared and stopped them. Captain Ghost asked them to stay and fight, but no one wanted to listen, so."

"They fought each other. It was a one-sided massacre."

Ertong said concisely:

"The pirates who were killed fell over and their bodies were pulled onto the ghost ship. Barbossa was already imprisoned. He had a special status and did not resist, so Will Turner gave him some more time.

But he hopes to meet you. ”

"Well, I'll go see him right away."

Mason nodded, pointed at the Demon Lizard Chariot suspended in the air not far away, and said to Barbara and Ertong:

"You continue to fly that one, Draman takes over the driving, and you are responsible for firing and controlling the drone swarm. Second barrel, after the fighting starts, you go to help Colypso, but you have to remember your mission."

"I understand!"

Ertong nodded, touched the handle of the Alice sword at his waist, and said:

"If nothing can be done, I will make her suffer less."

"There's actually no need to go that far."

Zha Kang blew out a smoke ring and touched the coral trident in his hand. He squinted his eyes and said:

"This thing can contain divinity. We don't need to give that precious thing to the hunters. Mason doesn't believe them anyway. We can hide it ourselves.

With divinity in hand, although I still can't get rid of the curse, I can at least ensure that the hidden dangers of that thing will not deepen.

This way, Colypso can survive in human form, and we don't have to fight to the death here. ”

"Good idea."

Captain Jack complained next to him:

"But you have to convince that rebellious Poseidon to listen to you first. If you ask her to hand over her power, I don't think she will be docile and do it. There will still be a fight in the end.

It's better that Mason arranges it like this now.

Killing someone with a borrowed knife does not dirty our hands. ”

"No, no, no."

Mason rolled his eyes, shook his head and explained:

"I'm not as bad as you think, Jack, don't spread rumors and slander. The choice has always been in Colypso's hands. She was unwilling to give up her power and had to fight to the death with the mad dogs.

But we made an agreement with her before.

We can arrange for her to leave at any time if she wishes.

I also hope that things can end perfectly, but it doesn't matter if we talk about it.

Get ready.

I'm going to see Barbossa. ”

He turned around and activated the power connection of the gravity well module not very skillfully. This time he did not "spiral to the sky" but did a squat and jump on the spot.

With a whooshing sound, it jumped into the air and flew towards the dock that had been blocked by the Flying Dutchman.

The big pirates who were under house arrest were all trapped here, and the eerie Dutchman stood proudly on the rolling waves. There were cursed pirates rising and falling in the undulating water.

Mason landed on the dock that was mostly submerged. When he landed, he felt the ground shaking violently, but the monster-like pirate captain in front of him stood upright in the water.

His twisted hands grasped the sea monster sword at his waist, not like a man seeking death facing the end, but like a commander reviewing the fleet and preparing to go on an expedition.

"Will!"

Mason shouted.

The ghost captain turned around, with a smile on his face that could scare a child into crying, and he said:

"Mason, you haven't left yet. It's so gratifying. It seems that we don't have to fight alone in the apocalypse."

"It's not necessary."

Mason approached him and whispered:

"The trident is in our hands. If you are willing, I can lift your curse, and you can go to the other side to be with your wife and children.

No one will look down upon you for this, you and your crew are brave enough. ”

"No! Don't give us hope, Mason."

The monster-like Will Turner shook his head and stretched out his tentacle-like fingers to point at the rising ocean in front of him. He said:

"We were once a symbol of evil in this world. We were called monsters and scum, but in this desperate era, even we have signed the final contract with our world and our civilization!


We are still fighting.

So, our world is not dead yet!

We know that we will definitely go to hell, but no matter which hell we are in, we will be the best ghosts."

"A world is coming to an end, Mason, my companion."

Old Teague's voice also came from behind.

This dashing old pirate seemed not to be affected by the end of the world at all. He sat there holding a guitar and plucked the strings. In the ancient and sad melody, he whispered:

"Some people have to stand up and fight for it. Just like a closing ceremony, there are always people to cheer for it. This is our choice. Bless us."

The old pirate smiled mysteriously and said to Mason:

"But we will meet again, I promise!" (End of Chapter)
