Chapter 347 46. Hey, parents, don’t let the longing for your ex-boyfriend be engraved into my DNA!
"That Red Skull is crazy!"
In the passage leading to the underground area of the Crispy Palace, Harley, who was wearing the Venom suit, held a baseball bat and moved forward cautiously and whispered to Mason:
"His mental state of extreme pursuit of self-destruction is very abnormal, sweetheart, I am sure that he definitely suffers from a serious mental illness, such as paranoia or mania."
"He just looks like the Red Skull after all."
Mason frowned and looked at the dimmed Speed Force ring on his finger.
The activation just now completely consumed the energy stored in it. In this world without the Speed Force, the ring cannot be replenished, but fortunately, Barry gave him a Speed Force Brick before.
He took off the dim tail ring, put it into the container where the Speed Brick was stored, and let it absorb its power on its own. He then whispered to Harley in the dead silence around him:
"That lunatic may have done terrible things to himself. His madness stems from his inability to fully control his brain. Perhaps there is a remaining will fighting with him for control of the body, which is why he behaves All kinds of strange behavior.”
"The more you talk, the scarier it becomes, Mr. K. It's like the beginning of a horror story designed to scare naughty children, putting someone else's brain in your own head or something like that"
Harley felt a little creeped out. She glanced at the brighter surroundings again and whispered:
"Ah, this underground base operates fully automatically. There is no one guarding here, which saves us a lot of energy."
Mason nodded, and Harley strode into the vast underground base.
This place was like a "breeding farm". Looking down from where they were, they could see a dense display of biological jars, each of which was nurturing a new mutant.
When the Weapon X project was established, all known mutant genes were gathered here. It was like a "mutant incubation base." Unfortunately, because the Unable to achieve.
It is estimated that Mason is already among the group of fusions closest to success.
"We have to destroy this place."
Harley took out a bomb with an evil clown on it from her arms and tossed it up and down. She said to Mason:
"This place is so evil! But, sweetheart, are you sure you were born from a biological jar here? Can you still remember where you were born?"
"Don't make trouble. I was not even a year old when I was sent away. How can I remember these things?"
Mason sighed. He didn't feel like he belonged here at all.
After all, would a normal clone miss the jar in which he was born?
He withdrew his gaze and quickly walked along the corridor into the main control room in the center of the building above. A huge advanced instrument was placed in front, and multiple encrypted automatic programs were running to control the operation of the entire Weapon X project.
Mason could not find any accessible data interface on this console at all, which shows that possible data intrusion was considered when it was built, so it was made into a "super encapsulation".
But there's no need to hack it either.
He reached out and took out his identity card that was sent to the Gotham Orphanage with him, and inserted it into the only punch-like device on the console in front of him that could accommodate cards.
After a moment, a screen lit up in front of them, and a large amount of green data flashed across the screen. Then, as Harley and Mason looked up, large chunks of information were translated.
"Weapon
A line of large characters confirmed Mason's identity, and then a red command lit up, assigning Mason to go to the biological cabin No. 13 in Area A to carry out the "gene awakening" process.
But Mason, who had obtained the key information, did not leave immediately.
Instead, he relied on the authority of his experimental body to enter a line of search instructions on the console in front of him, and then began to search for the corresponding information in the local database according to the index directory.
Harley was still waiting to see the little sweetheart's mutant abilities. When she saw Mason concentrating on searching for information, she sweetly urged:
"Logan and the Kryptonians will be unable to hold on at any time, Mr. K. We have to hurry up."
"I still need a little time."
Mason pushed up the frame without lenses on the bridge of his nose. He stared at the characters on the screen and said:
"The Red Skull called Grand Master Warlock a 'traitor' just now, which made me very concerned. Maybe that crazy guy casually told some terrible truths.
This is probably the only very large database still running in the world. There should be relevant information in it. If we miss this, we will probably never be able to find it again. Hmm!
Found it! ”
His finger pressed Enter to release a document, which was a death record from SHIELD. The photo on it was of a horribly burned corpse.
"The hero's code name is 'Doctor Strange'. The cause of his death was that he was accidentally burned by heavenly fire while manipulating the prophecy spell in the Holy of Holies?"
Mason narrowed his eyes.
He looked at the death report in front of him and noticed that the time was marked as a week before the nuclear war occurred seventeen years ago.
This timing is very delicate.
I had previously learned from Stark's program that a traitor had appeared in the Illuminati in this world, and Emma told him that the Weapon X project was secretly promoted by that traitor.
The other five members of the Illuminati, including Professor
Black Bolt only escaped death and became the only remaining member of the Illuminati, but he also lost his people.
Black Bolt's end and pain cannot be faked, and the probability that he is a traitor is extremely slim.
Counting this way, Doctor Strange Stephen Strange, who suddenly "died" for strange reasons a week before the end, is very suspicious.
Coupled with the gloomy but definitely caster demeanor of the Grand Master Warlock, and the crazy description of the Red Skull, all these clues were connected, and Mason couldn't help but make a bold guess in his mind.
"The Warlock is Doctor Strange who faked his death and escaped from this world?"
In the dark place, Mason whispered:
"This is not only my hometown, but also the hometown of warlocks! This also explains why he can use his mentorship to snatch this world away from the swordsman who is most qualified to 'inherit' it, and also lays magic to hide the world in darkness Among the stars
Not only was he avoiding detection of the Weapon X program he had been running, he was also protecting his own identity.
etc!
We might as well guess a little more boldly, the motorcycle of the Ghost Rider enshrined by the Ghost Rider Gang, the Demon Fire that is the same as me, the Ghost Rider who disappeared inexplicably
This may not only be the hometown of Warlock and me, but also the hometown of Lord Destiny!
This is the world of the great devil Mephisto! ”
Mason took a step back.
He rubbed his head and looked at the death report on the screen in front of him. At this moment, he felt a little bit amused.
Everything is connected, but in ways Mason never imagined.
Although there was no tangible evidence, all the clues could already be pieced together to form an absurd truth. He realized that he might have made a common sense mistake.
He always believed that there was the Hope Council first, and then the Stars Association, a subordinate organization.
He also believes that Lord Destiny, who is the foundation and source of the stars, that is, the big devil Mephisto, who has strange hobbies and likes to spend his own money to "raise" racing drivers, must be from the same world as Old A in the Hope Council. .
This is also easy to understand.
After all, only guys from the same world can establish the most basic unity and trust before the impact. Even if the two sides have different positions, they can work together on existential issues.
But now that he had these newly discovered clues in front of him, Mason's idea was overturned. He had mistaken the order of the birth of the two.
"This withered world that has become a wasteland is the origin of the Society of Stars. Am I one of theirs from the beginning?"
Mason looked at the dead and cold underground base around him and the equipment that was still running. His smart mind started to work. Following this guess, he began to boldly associate and reorganize the logical chain.
The truth about the alliance between these two organizations
Perhaps it is possible that the big devil sensed signs of impact in this world, so he first united with Doctor Strange, the most powerful spellcaster in the world, to find a way out.
After looking inward to no avail, we look outward for hope.
They built the grassroots team of the Stars Club, and then by chance, they came into contact with the Hope Council, which was also just a prototype at the time.
The two parties hit it off and reached a cooperation.
The great transfer seventeen years ago was the first action of the Stars Association.
This can also explain that Doctor Strange in this world had secretly colluded with Lord Destiny before he jumped back, and the nuclear war seventeen years ago was just a means to force this world to accept the "assistance" of the Star Council.
The Weapon X project was probably specially designed by Lord Destiny to show his sincerity to his allies.
As a member of the Illuminati, Doctor Strange had enough ability to turn this plan into reality. In the end, he chose to fake death and escape before the agreed date. He made a gorgeous turn and jumped from the leader of spellcasters in this world to the Order of the Stars. The great master warlock who exists above all else in the upper echelons.
At this point, at the cost of the decline of this world, the two organizations finally completed their "fusion."
They formed the current structure while running into each other. After the first impact, the first batch of conquerors and liquidators also appeared, and those cannon fodder were composed of experimental subjects of the Weapon X project.
Mason didn't have complete evidence to verify the speculation that came to his mind.
But just on a logical level, it all makes sense.
"The truth is really shocking."
He held the console in front of him and felt his brain was slightly dizzy. It was difficult for Mason to sort out these thoughts in a short period of time, but what was even more difficult to describe was the nature of the birth of stars.
This organization destroyed many worlds, but the darkness it emanated first invaded the place where it was born.
"Sure enough, the Club of Stars never goes in vain."
Mason touches the black devil tattoo on his arm.
He said in a complicated tone:
"This organization has been dark since its birth. Old A must have known about this and was even one of the designers of the great transfer seventeen years ago.
But he chose to hide it.
Yes, of course he would hide it! Nick Fury is a spymaster who tells lies, no matter which world he is in. Phew, I was almost fooled by his "sincere" speech.
Mutual benefit?
Pooh!
I can't believe a single punctuation mark that comes out of that guy's mouth. Of course, I'm not stupid enough to believe him. Phew, it turns out that Batman's 'distrust' strategy is effective at all times.
Thank you for your earnest guidance, which saved me from falling into this trap. ”
"So, our adventure is at the right time?"
Harley hadn't yet understood the specific content of the logical chain that Mason had just discovered, but when she saw the rapidly changing expression on Mason's face, she knew that Mr. K had discovered something extraordinary.
She helped Mason leave the main control room and headed to the awakening cabin No. 13 in Area A, and asked softly on the way:
"Then if this world is really the home of Lord Destiny, can we do it? My head hurts so much, I can't say this, or even think about it.
This damn curse! ”
"It's okay, just listen to me, little cutie."
Mason helped Harry rub his head, which ached due to the curse, and said:
"It's useless for us to confirm this. The devil has left here long ago, and it no longer needs this world to provide it with some 'nourishment'.
Even revealing the secret would not harm it or the sorcerer.
But the truth is the truth!
Understanding where they originate means we finally understand where the real enemy is.
I can use this to persuade those who are kept in the dark to completely turn to us, and even guide the hatred of the destruction of my hometown world, turning it into a sharp blade that can be wielded by us.
However, these are things for the future.
Harley, you have to remember that you can't tell anyone these things without my permission.
This can bring you danger and trouble. ”
"Yeah, I've always been very obedient."
Harley nodded vigorously.
She and Mason quickly followed the route of the marked area and arrived at Area A. In the fully automatic base, a blue awakening cabin was ready.
It is filled with a special blue liquid, waiting for Mason to lie in it to unlock the locked X-gene fragments in his body, thereby giving him the natural abilities of a mutant.
There is not much danger in this process, Mason just needs to lie down and wait for the unlocking to complete.
But Harley was worried.
She was always suspicious that the instrument in front of her would hurt her little sweetheart, but Mason was very open-minded. He took off his clothes and only wore close-fitting shorts, and lay down in the cold water under Harley's worried gaze.
He comforted his little cutie:
"Don't be afraid. Emma promised that there will be no danger. You can stay here or leave. Harley, it is said that there is a risk of losing control when mutants awaken their abilities.
I'm afraid I'll hurt you. ”
"No! I'll stay here."
Harley held Mason's clothes, she leaned down and kissed Mason's forehead gently, and said softly but firmly:
"I'm going to wait for you here. Although I heard that some mutants can become very ugly, don't worry, sweetheart, no matter what you become after you come out, I will not abandon you.
I'll be here with you, and so will Quinn.
If you are scared, call us.
We can hear it. ”
"I'm not the child you imagined."
Mason rolled his eyes and said:
"I'm not afraid of the dark."
"Yes, yes, Mr. K is the bravest. He is already a big boy who is not afraid of anything."
Harley helped Mason lower the hatch of the wake-up cabin with her own hands like she was coaxing a child. She grinned and waved to Mason and said:
"You have to hurry up, you have to come out before I grow the first gray hair, do you hear me?"
"Yeah."
Mason responded.
The blue hatch was completely locked in the next moment, and then a chilling energy began to burst out from the water around Mason. At this moment, it seemed to be so cold that even his soul would freeze.
The White Queen said that Mason's paternal gene, which has shown signs of awakening, comes from the omega-level mutant "Iceman" Bobby Drake.
Since Mason's ability is biased towards water, his energy awakening process must also be "tempered" by water.
He felt like he was freezing.
But just like he witnessed the illusion of stars when he obtained power from Lord Destiny last time, this time when the X gene was unlocked and awakened, Mason also seemed to see a vast white world of ice and snow.
In the snowstorm flying all over the sky, he could vaguely see a crystal clear ice sculpture standing in the pale white world. He felt like a piece of falling snow, as if he would merge into the dancing snow scene at any time, and like The sea tide surged, and the torrential rain covered the sky, causing ripples to appear throughout the world.
However, these illusions originating from his heart did not make Mason feel too much panic, because this was his innate power, hidden on the day he was born.
Some say he is a destined hero born to save others, while others curse him as a tool used by evil to spread darkness from the very beginning, but these comments from others cannot define Mason's life.
After all, only a fool would deny himself because of the opinions of others.
So, with some expectation, a line of text quickly popped up on the translucent character card:
"The hidden gene fragment is unlocked, and the specific bloodline, mutant, and activation in the transformation of harmless life forms are determined. The gene path is determined to be: 'Iceman' Bobby Drake/'Aquaman' Namor
Race changed to: Standard humanoid creature·Human subspecies·Isu/mutant hybrid [Isu blood concentration 9.94%, X gene power level: strong]
Genetic abilities are being identified, please wait.”
"Why do I still have two paternal genes? No wonder I can use that damn trident. After a long time of trouble, I actually have the right to inherit Atlantis"
Mason complained bitterly in his heart before falling into the ice:
"Hey, Emma, how messed up is your personal life! Also, don't just engrave everything into my DNA, you bastard!" (End of Chapter)
