Chapter 278 76. What’s the old saying? Blackening is three points stronger, whitewashing is ten times weaker? -【2325】
(Additional updates with monthly tickets·Happy Lantern Festival~)
"We have successfully entered the Atlantean doomsday ship, Mason."
The old man's deep voice sounded on the communicator, bringing a piece of gratifying news. He said:
"The undercover you arranged in advance brought us in, but we can only stay on the periphery and cannot get close to the core area, and the ship is moving towards Gotham.
Your people also told me that the doomsday device on the ship has entered a countdown!
Once the Atlanteans are at a disadvantage in the land battle, that madman Arthur Curry will activate it to destroy everything. ”
"Be prepared for a surprise attack."
At this moment, Mason, who was driving the Fenrir armor across the vast sea at supersonic speed, responded:
"It will take me at most an hour to arrive near the ship. I will lead the first wave of attacks. We must control the doomsday weapon before it reaches Gotham."
"But what about the Amazons?"
The old man asked:
"We may be able to disrupt the undersea people's destruction plan, but those savage she-wolves will not give in so easily. Do you have a plan to deal with them?"
"Yes, he will be basking in the sun in the sky right now."
Mason replied:
"In an hour at most, Fal Zod will return to the ground. Don't worry, he can control the war in the Gotham area and prevent it from spreading, and he can definitely hold on until we rush back to Gotham.
The only problem with this plan is that it could destroy Gotham. Do you have any objections? After all, that city has been your territory for many years. ”
"Objection? Why should I object?"
The old man laughed coldly and said without any emotion:
"That city has long been hopeless! The rotten place should be burned out by a fire. The rotten things should be burned and turned into warm ashes and scattered on the earth to give birth to pure new shoots.
The only reason I didn't destroy it myself was because I didn't care anymore.
But now.”
"Yes, Thomas, that's right, that's what it tastes like!"
Before Mason could say anything, Damian's voice sounded over the communication first, with strong approval and admiration.
The little madman shouted:
"This is also my grandfather's only view of Gotham. I am honored to see that there is finally a sane Batman making the right choice on issues related to Gotham.
Maybe
I feel that the outstanding leadership issue of the League of Assassins has been resolved at this moment, and it is up to you to lead the Assassins, Thomas.
You are ten thousand times more suitable than Bruce Wayne!
Even my mother couldn't say anything against it, since deep down she longed for a Batman to lead us.
Now, please allow me to offer you my loyalty, the new leader of demons, the new king of assassins, the new one! ”
Before the crazy little lunatic finished speaking, Mason heard a thump, and then no more weird words occupied the time in the communicator.
Mason was silent for a few seconds, and then said quietly:
"Thomas, I feel that Damian's education has been put on the agenda without delay. This child obviously has some kind of terrible and deepening mental illness.
What do you think? ”
"I have no objection to that."
The old man said coldly:
"He will be obedient, and I will teach this child well. If I can't do it, I believe Martha will be willing to do it for me. In addition, Mason, the King of the Seven Seas and his most brave general are on this ship. If you Be prepared for a surprise attack
It's going to be a real tough fight. ”
"Yeah."
Mason responded, then entered communication silence.
In the cockpit, which maintained a constant temperature and was more comfortable, he mentally called up the predetermined combat mode of the power armor during the basic human-computer interaction completed through the data connection between the Vanguard Armor and Fenrir Power Armor.
Seven bright modules with different combat styles are suspended in front of you. The other modules have preset data and auxiliary calculations of actual combat data, but the anti-Sea King tactics are still empty.
This is normal.
The last time Mason beat the giants in Gotham, he didn't survive until Arthur Curry appeared. Without actual combat data, it was difficult to set a specific combat mode.
But it is indeed a difficult job to fight against the King of the Seven Seas in the sea, especially since Mason also heard that the Arthur Curry of this world did not have a human father to teach him to be tolerant.
The Aquaman here is a pure-blooded Atlantean, and is more powerful and cold-blooded than his brother Orm.
Mason had some headaches, but he still re-wrote the battle mode in the empty anti-Sea King tactics with the help of Delamain. He was not good at close combat, so when the power armor entered close combat, it was intelligently controlled by AI.
In this case, a set of preset tactics is obviously more useful than Mason's flash of knowing strikes.
Mason thought of Arthur Curry in his own world who relied on human strength to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness when far away from the ocean, but even so, Aquaman needed to enter the water every few hours otherwise he would weaken quickly.
The Aquaman in this world is only more intolerant in this regard, so the focus of the battle is to get him out of the water, but unfortunately it is not easy to do this.
Arthur Curry is not a fool.
It is impossible for him to follow Mason's footsteps and put himself in danger. From the fact that he poisoned Diana Prince, it can be seen that the King of the Seven Seas in this world is very cunning and insidious.
"Hat, I might need to give Arthur Curry a little 'magic shock.'"
Mason said to the Sorting Hat, which turned into a mask to protect his eyes and cheeks:
"Meila, the master of water magic in this world, has been beheaded by Diana. Arthur lacks the power to counter magic. This is our only chance.
I need a teleportation spell at a critical moment. ”
"It's hard, Mason."
The old hat god said in a resentful tone:
"You sewed me up so badly that it's difficult for me to connect my magic power smoothly. What's more, the point of teleportation is that the more violent the target's resistance, the worse the effect of teleportation.
The amount of magic required to forcibly transport a King of the Seven Seas in the sea would be enough to tear me to pieces three times.
Not to mention that he also has the Neptune Trident in his hand, which is a top-notch artifact even in the magic heritage of your world.
It's hard for me to help in a fight of this intensity, Mason. ”
"If it's just energy, I can extract the energy source of Fenrir's armor to help you complete this teleportation technique. The internal frame of this armor is shaped by Urukin, which can complete the conversion of energy and magic power."
Mason said:
"I just need a powerful wizard like you to control the specific position."
"This will shut down your armor!"
The hat warned:
"Your energy source will be overloaded. Oh, I forgot, you are using a disposable Ark reactor and can be replaced at any time.
Okay, so let's give it a try.
Where is the transmission point?
I need to calculate in advance the angle at which the space will break. ”
"Desert!"
The light in Mason's eyes lit up and he said:
"The nearest desert or Gobi is a place where he can dehydrate quickly."
"Well, deep in the Nevada desert, I need some time to prepare. You can now let your power armor core enter overloaded magic conversion."
Hat reminder to:
"But I don't have a physical body, so I will need your body as a casting medium. Don't worry, the unique energy adaptation of the Isu bloodline allows you to complete this job easily.
However, if it's just a quick transfer, the Flash should be able to do it, right? ”
"Barry needs to save his energy for business."
Mason replied:
"Only he can open the entrance to the special Speed Force space that hides the secret, and everything we do now is a pavement to uncover the truth.
This world obviously has some kind of strange "observer effect". After we intervene in it, it changes according to our actions.
I think it's now desperate to see something different than apocalypse, hat.
Then I'll show it to you.
I believe that this effort will be rewarded, and the answer will definitely satisfy us. ”
"Close to the source of the signal! The Atlantean doomsday ship is sailing on the seabed two thousand meters ahead, starting the underwater combat mode! The sealed cabin is activated."
Delamain's sharp reminder interrupted the conversation between Mason and Hat. The next moment, the Fenrir suit, which was cruising at supersonic speed, changed its course and plunged into the sea wrapped in gray fog.
The moment Mason entered the water, he could still see the desolate burning wreckage of the warship on the sea not far away.
That's Luther's research vessel.
It already looked like it had been torn into several pieces from underwater by some kind of giant beast, or like it had been cut from the center by a high-energy weapon. The miserable corpses were scattered all over the ocean tide, and only the feeding sharks reveled in the blood.
"Except for the conversion of magic power, all energy is sent to the thruster, Lao De."
Mason directs to:
"Arthur Curry can sense subtle changes in the sea, approach the doomsday ship as quickly as possible and prepare for the impact."
"Received!"
The moment the silver-gray power armor entered the water, the propellers on its legs and rear armor were in full operation.
Subtle changes have also been made to the exterior of the armor, making it more suitable for quickly traveling through the water, just like a submarine that is approaching a behemoth under the sea at high speed.
The black giant ship resembles a huge whale that swallows everything. It has the style of a man from the bottom of the sea, making it look majestic and ferocious.
At this time, in the cockpit of the doomsday giant ship, Arthur Curry, wearing green armor with gold embellishments, was resting on his throne with his eyes closed, and the golden Neptune Trident was at hand.
This man has an appearance that is 70% similar to that of Aquaman from Mason's hometown, but the lack of human genes makes his face even colder, with sharp edges and corners just like a mythical figure.
But it also shows more indifference and depth.
The loyal ocean lord Orm holds a silver trident to guard his brother and the king. This was once the location of Queen Mela, and after Mela was brutally killed, no one can enter Arthur's palace. A closed heart.
Unlike the ambitious ocean lords in other worlds, Orm in this world has no dissatisfaction with his brother, only supreme admiration and following.
In his mind, Arthur Curry was the perfect embodiment of the conquering nature of the Atlanteans.
He is strong enough and cunning enough, majestic enough and cold-blooded enough. Only such a person can lead the undersea people to conquer the entire world and plant the flag of Atlantis in every corner.
Even when Arthur chose to marry the Amazons to seek peace, Orm almost started a rebellion, but then things took a turn for the worse and the ocean lord returned to his brother's command.
It's just hard to say whether Mela's impulsive move to provoke Diana Prince was behind the secret push of this "loyal minister".
"Something is approaching!"
Arthur, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. With a flick of his fingers, the golden trident fell into his heart and made a crisp sound. The King of the Seven Seas stood up and said to his brother:
"It's some cold and powerful machinery. It seems that unwilling humans have sent assassins to try to destroy our ship."
"Leave it to me, Your Majesty."
Orm took the initiative to ask for war and said:
"I will destroy it mercilessly for you, just as we mercilessly flooded the whole of Europe. Despicable humans will only pollute everything around them.
There is no place for them in this world! ”
"No, you stay here."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Arthur's gray eyes, and he said:
"I have rested enough. I will leave here and lead the vanguard to land to fight those she-wolves. This will be the battle that determines the throne of the world and the heart of revenge.
I firmly believe that I will not lose.
But if God has no mercy on me, then you know what to do, my brother. ”
Orm pointed the trident in his hand on the ground, and amid the buzz of the weapon, the fanatical general shouted:
"Yes! My Majesty! The Doomsday Ship will be an eternal symbol of the unyielding Atlanteans. We would rather destroy this world than accept a defeat!"
"Very good."
The King of the Seven Seas nodded with satisfaction.
He took one last look at the colorful shells placed beside the throne, which were taken from the Poseidon's temple as a souvenir when he and Mela made a lifelong promise when he was a child.
His beloved wife died.
He died at the hands of another woman he admired, and he who had tried to seek peace had to embark on a win-or-die journey because of this murder.
Perhaps, this is the fate of the king.
"Bang"
The cockpit of the doomsday giant ship opened, and the King of the Seven Seas holding a trident rolled up the storm on the bottom of the sea like a stream of light.
In his silent call, the terrifying and gloomy shadows on the sea floor, and the bloodthirsty trench clan murlocs distorted by the disaster, came from all directions, like a school of fish, they separated the Fenrir armor and the doomsday giant ship in a short time. separated.
There is also the ferocious beast summoned from the bottomless abyss by Arthur Curry waving its tentacles.
In just a moment, Mason fell into the dilemma of being surrounded, but what was even worse was
"Alert! Alert! The armor encounters unknown corrosion!"
Delamain's sharp alarm sounded throughout the control cabin. After Mason kept zooming in on the turbid water in front of him, he was shocked to find that the water around him had turned into a gloomy black.
"It's billions of phagocytic bacteria. These ferocious microorganisms are being called by that strange life and attacking your armor, my brother."
The voice of Isu biologist Consus rang in Mason’s ears, and he reminded:
"This is a vicious enemy. He is trying to paralyze your weapons. Don't delay! Start teleporting immediately. Your Kryptonian outer armor cannot withstand this kind of microscopic decomposition and devouring.
Their destructive power when gathered together is enough to eat up a city in ten minutes! ”
"Tsk, tsk."
Mason flicked his tongue and sighed:
"It is indeed the debut of a great villain. Look at this momentum. I have never seen our Arthur Curry use such cruel power. Summoning a whale and a dolphin is probably his limit.
< br>
hat!
Prepare to teleport! ”
He gave the order.
The silver-gray armor once again accelerated to tear apart the trench tribe blocking the road and rushed towards Arthur Curry, while the King of the Seven Seas sneered. He was never afraid of the pitiful challenges from the land people.
He would not lose to anyone else before killing that poisonous woman Diana Prince with his own hands.
"Closer! I need to be closer."
The hat reminded loudly, but it was very difficult for Mason to advance under the obstruction of the huge number of Trench Tribes.
After all, the battlefield in the sea is not suitable for the use of power armor. The next moment, the golden Neptune Trident was swung by Arthur Curry. Thick lightning flew from the tip of the halberd, passing through the thick sea water and slamming into the silver. Gray armor surface.
The power of this attack shows the strength of Neptune.
The only problem is that this is a pure energy attack, and Mason has just completed the transformation of the Isu energy absorption module on Fenrir's armor.
So under Mason's surprised gaze, the power armor energy that had already bottomed out actually "bottomed out". After completely absorbing this lightning bombardment, it jumped directly from the precarious 5% to above the 35% safety line. .
"Thanks to the King of the Seven Seas for the lightning!"
Mason laughed heartily, and his hat twisted in laughter at this moment. Since Lord Neptune is so generous, then this teleportation technique must be in place.
Driven by the absolutely abundant energy, the hat boldly expanded the transmission range by one-fifth, just in time to include the King of the Seven Seas. Under the astonished gaze of Ocean Lord Orm, millions of tons of The sea water, the fish people, and the mighty King of the Seven Seas all disappeared together with the damn attacker in the dazzling light.
Where's Aquaman?
Where is my great King of the Seven Seas?
Such a big Arthur Curry was clearly here just now!
He is obviously going to win!
ah!
Human stuff! How cunning!
