Chapter 255 53. Batman’s new alliance tactic is codenamed “Mason Cooper”
"Boom"
The violent chopping tore through the earth and destroyed the containers that were pierced and reinforced by vines at the edge of the fighting circle. The heavy containers and the torn plants were like leaves in the wind, bursting with the power of lightning. Punctured into smoking crumbs.
The underground base of Team K was in a mess like a village passed by by a strong wind. And amidst the tides summoned by the angry Sea King, old Peter dragged Lawyer Ma's hand like a spider with a dancing blade and pulled him away. The ground is brought to the height of the tower crane.
The two wasteland heroes will be a little "numb".
Not only was the furious Arthur Curry bursting out with a "home field advantage" that was quite in line with the Zhenglian giants, but also because the trident in his hand continued to release tiny lightning storms in the "clouds and rain", causing the surrounding environment to explode. The charge surges and is full of aggression.
Old Spider and Lawyer Ma felt like they were in a bad electrostatic field and would be hit by lightning at any time. If the vines arranged by Poison Ivy hadn't been able to block them, the lightning alone would have been enough for them to drink. .
"My spider senses are just recovering, how can I withstand this kind of monster?"
Spider-Man easily turned over and squatted on the top of the tower crane, looking left and right to find Neptune hiding in the flooded tide, and complained to the equally vigilant Lawyer Ma beside him:
"This guy's strength by the water is almost as strong as Thor's. We really picked the worst battlefield."
Lawyer Ma did not answer, but twisted the separated fighting sticks together in his hands.
Unlike Peter, who has relied on high-intensity dodge to remain unscathed so far, his armor already has several terrible scars, all of which were cracks caused by the close contact with Neptune's trident. Some of them were even The red-gold armor itself hurt the skin.
However, the two men were not invited to the rescue by Mason this time.
Both Old Spider and Lawyer Ma's new suits use the technology that Doctor Octopus has just reverse-engineered from Tony Stark's Nano Blood Edge suit. The damage to the suit is repairing itself, and the scandium alloy from the world of 2077 is used. The material manufacturing prevents them from "falling down at a touch" by the angry Arthur.
"He is hiding in the water and moving at high speed, like a leaf hidden in the forest."
Lawyer Ma pricked up his ears, and with the help of ear sound wave capture equipment, he maximized his super senses. It was difficult to catch the movement of Neptune. He whispered:
"The water around him is protecting him. The more water there is, the stronger his power is. He can no longer be consumed. He is obviously stalling for time. Reinforcements may arrive soon.
Mason's signal had just disappeared, and he seemed to be out of danger.
Miss Ivy is waiting for us outside the port. We must leave immediately. ”
"What I'm saying is that we are not here to fight with anyone."
The old spider nodded, and the black eye sockets on the mask of his nanosuit moved a few times. He quickly found a route from high altitude to the pier that was flooded by the tide when he switched to observation mode.
But two people can't go together.
Otherwise, the guy hiding under the water like a big shark looking for food will definitely launch a dangerous lightning call again,
"You retreat first!"
Peter shot out the spider silk ahead and said to Lawyer Ma during the jump:
"I lured the King of the Seven Seas away, and then passed over from high altitude. His inability to fly is probably the only weakness of this troublesome guy."
"Yeah."
Lawyer Ma, who had already become a veteran in "friendly exchanges" with various monsters and monsters in New York City, did not have a mother-in-law. At the same time as the old spider took off, he threw his billy stick backwards, and the stick head flew out like a flying claw. He hooked the top of the tower crane and dragged him into the night sky, then rolled and landed on the container behind him.
"Great white shark? I guess that's your nickname. Come and catch me! You're as stupid as a fish!"
The old spider responsible for luring enemies swung around in the air and made harsh sounds to provoke the King of the Seven Seas hiding in the water.
This guy's mask is like a "talking switch". After putting on the Spider-Man mask, he talks one after another. Especially after regaining his enthusiasm for life in the wasteland, he seems to be back to his youth all of a sudden.
Wandering around the docks of Dark Gotham seems no different than running around in bustling New York.
"I always hear people who run around in parallel worlds say, no matter which world you are in, you like to play with fish?"
Peter flew around shouting:
"Also, I'm curious, how do you go to the toilet in the sea? Do you think, if fish can also excrete, then wouldn't you live in a large toilet specially prepared for fish?
Hey, that sounds disgusting.
No wonder your armor is yellow. Does it symbolize status?
Or”
"Buzz"
A bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky. Old Peter, who was wandering in the air, was startled and immediately cut off the spider silk in his hand. In a moment, it rolled and landed on the container below. The exciting feeling of passing by the lightning was not over yet. He looked at him head-on. A big man jumped out of the water holding a thunderous weapon.
The surrounding tide rolled like a heavy hammer, forming a curtain of water almost instantly, blocking Peter's route.
"Bang"
Neptune's Trident clicked on the container, and the burst of electricity turned into the vanguard of the King of the Seven Seas, causing Spider-Man to jump up and down to avoid static lightning strikes on the ground.
"Little bug!"
Arthur Curry rushed forward and used a set of Atlantean martial arts to entangle the old spider. While attacking back and forth, he scolded unhappily:
"Using you to fish and build nests must be very effective. I guess the sharks will like your taste very much! You can catch them without any help! From the look of you, you must have been tricked into dying by the cunning Mason Cooper.
I don't want to hurt you. ”
"No, your understanding of Mason is obviously biased."
The old spider nimbly dodged Arthur's trident piercing it, just like a slippery loach, and could always get out of the way before the weapon came into contact.
He dodged while accumulating strength, and shouted to the King of the Seven Seas in front of him:
"In my eyes, compared with him, you are like an unreasonable violent person. If you turn around and leave now as if we have never met, I can consider not hurting you."
In response to this provocation, Arthur Curry swung his fist into the mouth of his foul-mouthed enemy.
This punch caused the surrounding tide to surge, like a powerful and heavy tidal punch. You can be sure that the consequences of being hit will be terrible.
But the old spider did not choose to dodge.
The eyes of his nano-suit were red. He did not retreat but advanced despite the force of his legs. He also punched the King of the Seven Seas in front of him.
"Bang"
The fists of the two collided head-on, and both of them were shocked by the brute force and retreated. However, the old spider had already anticipated this result. Using the force of the retreat, he turned over and shot out the spider silk high into the sky. He shook his hands and cheered, breaking through the water curtain and flying into the night sky. , and was entangled by a vine at high altitude and pulled far away.
ha!
You didn’t expect it, the king of fishmen, this is my spider uncle’s escape route!
Arthur Curry obviously did not expect the strength of this weirdo dressed like a spider. According to his previous performance, this guy jumping up and down should be an agile player.
He's really good at hiding.
But this sudden attack made Aquaman seem to have suffered a punch from Superman, and he almost staggered into the water.
But as the King of the Seven Seas, he would not just watch the spider escape. The super power belonging to Arthur Curry was activated. In the old spider's exclamation, a black dolphin screamed like a sharp arrow and rushed out of the tide. He came out and hit Peter's waist while he was dancing in the sky, completely destroying his movements.
Then a large group of sailfish bombarded him like "underwater flying bombs", so Peter could only protect his upper body and was knocked into the water from the air.
Embarrassed, he poked his head out of the water and saw a white line flying towards him on the tide. It was Arthur Curry holding a trident and walking majestically on the waves.
The tip of his golden trident was entwined with golden lightning, and coupled with the dark night wind and waves behind him, it really stirred the sea water to form a whirlpool like Poseidon, the king of the seven seas in mythology, making the old spider feel like he was thrown into The front-loading washing machine spins wildly.
"Man, you can actually talk to fish?"
The old spider who was pressed in the water and fluttering looked up and saw a shark rushing under Arthur's feet, and suddenly exclaimed:
"This is so cool!"
"Really? Hahaha, I think it's cool too, but it's a pity that those idiots just don't understand the true power."
Peter's exclamation made Neptune Arthur feel extremely happy at this moment.
In the Justice League, his frontal combat ability can be ranked among the top three, but because of his poor superpowers, "talking to fish" has become a joke.
The outsider in front of him actually knew how to appreciate this ability, which made Arthur's sense of the old spider surprisingly good.
"My daughter will definitely be willing to pay to watch you perform."
Peter said the second half of the sentence, and the smile on Arthur's face instantly froze, and then he became murderous, raised his trident, and pierced the bastard who didn't understand power.
But just when the old spider was about to "sink in the sand", a harsh sound exploded quietly in the huge waves of Miller Harbor, and before Arthur Curry heard the gunshot, the angle was tricky. The bullet had already entered his shoulder.
A hole was drilled into the steel body endowed by the blood of the royal family of Atlantis, and the blood spurted out, allowing Neptune's puncture to be deformed and allowing the old spider to escape.
Then gunshots continued to ring out. Neptune, who had his arm injured, rounded the trident in his hand and waved it around, launching Atlantis' tidal martial arts to deflect the incoming bullets.
As sparks flew, a figure quickly approached from the side, threw a billy stick and wrapped it around the wrist of Peter who was being dragged into the water by suspension, and then pulled him out of the water with a strong pull.
"Why are you back? And who is that sharpshooter who is supporting us? Was this arranged by Mason?"
Peter, who was soaked all over, exclaimed. Lawyer Ma, who was coming back in front of him, smiled and said briefly:
"You may not believe it, but that was a 'good Samaritan' Miss Ivy met on the road. We will tell you the rest later. Let's go!"
The two agile heroes naturally wanted to move very quickly, and the mysterious gunman's constant sniping and obstruction created opportunities for them. Within a few minutes, the old spider and Lawyer Ma disappeared outside the flooded Port Miller. In the night.
The King of the Seven Seas was naturally unhappy when he saw the cooked duck flying away in front of his eyes, but his arm was so painful that he couldn't lift it, so he was unable to pursue it any further.
On the ground where the tide receded rapidly, Arthur gritted his teeth and picked out the bullet from the wound with his fingers and put it in front of his eyes.
Although it was still stained with blood, the yellow fluorescence emitted by the bullet in the dark night did mean that it was an extraordinary creature and should not be a creation of this world.
The King of the Seven Seas frowned and looked at the direction in which Old Spider and Lawyer Ma were escaping. He glanced at the wounds that were already healing quickly, picked up the trident and prepared to chase after them.
For Arthur Curry, who has always followed the hardline hero route, letting the enemy escape is completely unacceptable.
But just when he was about to use Neptune's Trident to trigger a torrential rain that covered the whole journey to help him lock the target, Batman's voice came from the Justice League communication network in his ears:
"Aquaman, are you still there?"
"I'm here. Also call me 'Sea King', thank you."
Arthur stood in the messy Miller Harbor and replied, and then heard the master's instructions:
"Collect the team immediately and gather at my signal point. We must return to the watchtower immediately to support us. Something happened over there."
"You can just go, I, a sea person, don't like the feeling of space."
Neptune refused:
"And I still have my target. Mason Cooper disappeared into the deep sea. He hid in my domain, as if he had thrown himself into a trap. Give me another thirty minutes, Batman.
I can definitely do it”
"Both Superman and The Flash were injured. I just found Diana in the hospital. Cyborg's quantum brain was severely damaged and shut down, and the watchtower was looted!"
The master said with emphasis:
"You are the only one who can act now, I and Green Lantern. You may indeed be able to hunt down Mason Cooper, but how can you be sure that this is not another trap for you by that cunning man?
We can't afford to lose any more men, Arthur.
There are also a group of dangerous wizards from other worlds running around on the east coast. The top priority now is to restart the global monitoring system of the Watchtower. Now, I need you to come here immediately! ”
"Is the situation so serious?"
Arthur was shocked when he heard Batman's report.
He, the proud King of the Seven Seas, has always admired the strength of his companions. In the heart of this deep-sea man, he never thought that anyone in the world could defeat the Justice League head-on.
And now Mason Cooper alone has destroyed half of the Justice League's glorious record, making him even more wary of that mysterious young man.
What Batman said makes sense.
Now, whether he goes deep into Gotham to chase the spider monster, or returns to the deep sea to hunt down Mason Cooper, he may be attacked from both sides.
Some caution should indeed be exercised in this case.
He made a quick decision.
While walking towards the roaring tide behind him, he said to his companions:
"Inform me of the location, Batman. I'll be there immediately! Humph, that blind spider-bug is lucky today!"
——
"Hey man, who the hell are you?"
In a dark alley in Gotham City, Old Peter, who had changed into a pedestrian's attire and was wrapped in a coat, helped Lawyer Ma, who was disguised as a blind man, to walk in the dark alley. Ivy, who had changed her clothes to cover her green skin, followed them. Behind him, Spider-Man was admiring the scenery of Gotham City and asked the man in suit leading the way:
"Although you helped us, your silence makes me feel bad. You should at least inform us of your identity."
"John Wick, an assassin."
Wick, who was leading the way, didn't look cold-faced at all. At this moment, he was even holding a golden retriever dog, just like an office worker taking his pet for a walk.
That always lonely look completely interprets the exhaustion of a social worker after get off work.
While looking around with his eagle eye perception, he whispered to Old Peter, Lawyer Ma and Poison Ivy behind him:
"Don't worry about my silence, it's just my personality. I know you are wondering why I want to take the risk to help you. The reason is very simple."
He paused and said with emphasis:
"I am a messenger sent out. It is my mission to find and identify more potential allies. Mason Cooper and his K Team are the first, and you are the second.
It's not safe here yet.
The bat's eyes are all over this place. Come with me and we can discuss this in depth when we get to the safe house.
I believe that for both you and us, union and alliance will be the best option at the moment. ”
"What about Mason?"
Lawyer Ma plays the role of a blind man while holding on to a guide stick. He walks with the help of a spider and says:
"We don't care about him?"
"He has his plan."
John Wick said without looking back:
"I've seen countless people die generously. That's not the look on Mason Cooper's face. He didn't plan to die today. But if we continue to waste time here, we may miss seeing him again. See you."(End of this chapter)
