Chapter 403 18. Why are the strange things I encounter not serious? (Throwing the table)-monthly ticket plus updates【1820】
Mason's time is rolling back.
Just like Barry Allen intercepted the timeline in the world of war, Mason's personal time is constantly being pulled backwards. Even though he is running forward at the speed of light, the whole world in Naihe's eyes is like a movie playing backwards.
This dilemma can only be ended if he jumps into the time network beyond the speed of light.
Unfortunately, the Speed Tail Ring does not have this function. The information label of this thing has clearly stated that this item cannot be used for time travel.
So the next moment, he was back in New York City shrouded in rain.
Still a familiar street corner, still a familiar enemy.
Zha Kang had collapsed from exhaustion, and Mason's water had disappeared, leaving only clothes and luggage on the ground.
Poor Constantine finally decided to save his friend, but his desperate counterattack failed to cause any harm to his opponent.
His evaluation of the strength of both sides was very accurate, and they were invincible opponents.
"I just want to ask a question, all I need is an answer."
In front of him, the dark Doctor Strange, who maintained a gloomy elegance like the legendary vampire archduke, was suspended in the air. He said to Mason expressionlessly:
"Your and Constantine's lives are not necessary in my eyes. If my curiosity is satisfied, I will naturally let you go."
"Oh, by 'leaving' you mean sacrificing us to your mortal enemy, the beholder evil god 'Shuma Gorath' who originated from the Sunless Sea?
What's the difference between that and death?
No, it would be better to just die. ”
Mason knew he couldn't beat him but still didn't give up.
He held the activation key of Fenrir's armor and the Superman medicine in the other hand. On the street where everything was suspended, he gritted his teeth and said to Black Strange:
"With all due respect, this is a grudge between you two bosses, so please don't involve us otherworldly fish in it, okay?"
"You know quite a lot."
Heiqi Qi became interested. He looked at Mason up and down and said:
"Constantine didn't lie. His captain is indeed a knowledgeable and wise man. No wonder he was able to do such a great thing in that dirty place called the 'Club of the Stars'.
But think on the bright side, Lord Mason.
The sacrificial ceremony only requires the sacrifice of one person. There is a 50% chance that you will not die, but if you continue to resist, the fatality rate will become 100%. ”
Faced with this threat, Mason's reaction was to raise his head and take the golden superhuman medicine.
The next moment, Da Chao's power came, causing him to raise his head and shoot two heat rays towards Hei Qiqi.
The dark runes floating in front of the latter acted as a shield to resist, and then Mason clenched his fists and smashed at him. The brute force gathered together to shatter Hei Qi's shield, but the latter calmly raised his left hand and five fingers. Such as the evil god transformed into a black and purple octopus evil god tentacles, bound Mason in the air, lifted him into the air and hit the ground hard.
One impact completely destroyed the entire block, and it was difficult for a Kryptonian to tear apart the tentacles that bound him.
After all, this thing comes from an evil god from another dimension.
But fortunately, Mason has never been afraid of such things with divinity.
"Stop fucking sleeping! Get to work!"
he shouted.
The Black Death Sword suit like the tattooed wristband on his left hand surged out, covering Mason's body and transforming into biological claws. He latched onto the ferocious tentacles in front of him and began to feast.
Black Death Sword suit + Superman medicine.
This is basically the strongest weapon Mason has at his disposal right now. In this form, it shouldn't be a big problem to defeat any member of the Justice League under normal conditions without a sneak attack.
The tentacles of the evil god that had absorbed the divinity were quickly retracted in pain, leaving a trace of surprise on Hei Qi's gloomy face that was always expressionless.
He originally thought that this method could kill Mason.
"Okay, time to cast some illegal spells."
Facing Mason who was rushing towards him, Darkness Strange moved his neck.
He formed a special seal with his fingers, and the secret forbidden spell of Kama Taj was inspired by the shape of Iken, causing him to grow four hands in an instant like a six-armed naga.
He continued to cast spells with his own hands, and the forbidden spell of the crimson girdle called Cytorak was activated.
The dark red energy beam turned into chains and burst out from the earth and sky. More than a dozen magic locks were pulled and entangled in mid-air by Mason, who rushed over at the speed of light in an instant.
This scene is like a flying bird crashing directly into the net.
Those crimson belts made a rattling sound as they were being pulled, but they were wrapped around Mason's Black Death Sword suit like a snake, getting tighter and tighter, even making him feel suffocated in his superman state.
This thing is a forbidden spell-level magic control method. It even seals Mason's ability to reorganize water molecules, so that he can only maintain the current situation and be beaten passively.
And the principle of its spellcasting makes Hat, who is the gathering of the remnant souls of four legendary wizards, unable to even read it, let alone defend or break free. All he can do is to continuously shout "Fuck" and "666" without any dignity.
It was not interested in the outcome of the battle in front of it.
It was certain that Mason would not die or even be tortured.
Therefore, it was cunning and regarded this as a "performance show" of forbidden magic, and it was trying to learn a few tricks from the black strange in front of it.
"Try harder! Haven't you eaten?"
Mason summoned the strength to break free and shouted at the Black Death Sword suit.
The latter was not without his efforts, but the Black Death Sword boss, who had always cut down enemies like melons and vegetables, was silent this time.
The black strange creature in front of him is already stronger than the previous owner of the Black Death Sword, the God-Slayer Gal, and can even compete with the God of Darkness, Gnar, who forged it.
So, this is not a question of whether it can be beaten or not.
This shouldn't be fought at all.
"You have used all your methods, so it's my turn."
Hei Qiqi whispered something, controlled Mason with the crimson belt with both hands, and twisted the remaining four hands into strange postures.
Under the urging of transformation-like magic, they turned into the heads of sheep, lions and giant snakes. Finally, a hand lit fire and poured out the head of the fireball dragon that had just been "eaten".
The four monster heads were like four energy cannon barrels aimed at Mason, who was bound into a large font, and then hit the unlucky guy with four attacks of ice, fire, toxin and sound waves at the same time.
The Black Death Sword suit lasted for five seconds before retracting into Mason's body, and the rest relied solely on the temporarily strengthened Kryptonian body to resist.
But the problem is that Kryptonians are weak demons!
There is another super caster in front of you. This is basically the same as a weak jungler encountering a full-level poodle, or a level 30 trumpet passing through Stranglethorn Valley at night and seeing three-season rice.
Purely for free.
"Plop"
The crimson ribbon dissipated into feathers of light flying in the sky, and Mason, whose body exuded the aroma of barbecue, hit the ground. If it weren't for the temporarily strengthened Kryptonian body, he would have been sprinkled with chopped green onion and chopped into minced meat. The dishes are on the plate.
What made him even more angry was that when he grinned in pain and turned his head, he saw Zha Kang lying there winking at him crazily, indicating that he should be cowardly.
Obviously this guy's "collapse from exhaustion" just now was just a gesture of weakness.
"Do you want to continue?"
Dark Strange was not annoyed, and even asked politely:
"You can take out your machine and try it again. Anyway, seeking death during the time pause will not waste your precious time."
"I surrender."
Mason decisively raised the white flag.
As the hat said, it is not shameful to admit defeat in front of such a guy. With the level of power shown by the opponent in the past few fights, even if Mason summons the super combination of Thanos + Darkseid, he probably won't be afraid. of.
I probably won't be able to beat him, but I definitely won't lose.
This is already a monster that cannot be explained by common sense.
As Mason climbed up, he obediently allowed the magic chain to be clasped around his wrist.
The black strange man in front of him waved his hand and opened a circular portal with sparks of darkness, leading directly to the dark realm where he and Zha Kang had just escaped.
"I'm curious, why do you hide in this world?"
he asked.
Heiqi twisted the seal to open the Eye of Agamotto on his chest, allowing time to rewind to the situation before the block in front of him was destroyed. He then took a black rose from the hands of pedestrians paused under the rain curtain and placed it in his hand. Play around.
He stepped into his territory and said without looking back:
"Who told you I was hiding here?
I'm just a prisoner, Mason Cooper. This boring world is my prison. The big bald frog is angry that I didn't listen to advice and went my own way and ended up destroying my world.
He ordered me to reflect here.
This is the whole story.
Come in, there is still some time, we can chat, I believe I will be able to get more interesting news about the changes in the outside world from you. ”
Mason shrugged, bent down and put all the scattered bits and pieces back together, and kicked Zha Kang who was still pretending to be dead.
The latter stood up holding the exhausted coral trident and said to Mason in an evil voice:
"You bastard, you actually left your body here and used me as cannon fodder? Damn it! I was planning to sacrifice myself to give you a chance. You give me back my feelings! Bastard."
"How fresh. Don't you know how much trouble you have caused?"
Mason rolled his eyes and said:
"If I don't make some preparations, am I really going to stay and wait for death? If I can't escape, you will be dead! You bastard, I made a strategic switch to save hope, although I couldn't save it.
I finally escaped once, but this guy made me lose so completely!
grass! ”
The two of them complained to each other and walked into the portal with black light floating in front of them. The moment the arc of light danced and dissipated, the block that was frozen in time immediately returned to normal.
The raindrops fall and the pedestrians come to life again.
The reflections of the neon lights in the rain also came alive. No one knew that their souls had returned to hell more than ten seconds ago and were brought back again. Well, this situation can probably be summed up as "ignorance is bliss".
——
"Coffee? Tea? Or beer?"
Heiqiyi sat cross-legged on his cushion in the standard spellcaster meditation posture, and asked Mason standing in front of him. The captain shrugged, took out the water he carried with him from his bag, shook it, and said:
"No need, I brought it with me. I want to ask, were you the one who stepped forward to help resolve the three previous impacts? Did you eat those earths?"
"I thought it was my turn to ask questions first."
Heiqi glanced at Mason, and the strange look in his eyes made Mason's heart skip a beat, but although this spellcaster was dark and terrifying, he was very polite.
Faced with Mason's question, he closed his eyes and maintained meditation, and answered:
"The first world was full of zombies and tasted bitter, the taste of death soaked in despair.
The second world has become an abandoned wasteland, and the residents and lives on it have been transferred. The entrance has a slightly salty fragrance, probably because the tears of leaving home penetrate deeply into the deeply loved earth.
The third world is a bit interesting.
A group of beings who call themselves "cleaners" are building a hive-like plan in it, just like busy and brainless worker ants arming the planet.
It was delicious and juicy, but at the same time, it was extremely smelly.
It's like the empty shell of a walking corpse that has been stripped of its soul is already tasteless, but a bad cook insists on filling it with some filthy thoughts like excrement.
I knew the existence of the ‘Gathering of Stars’ from their wails as they were being digested.
And fate loves me so much that after those Skrulls broke into my cage like insects, they brought Constantine to me.
A cunning and changeable soul, rotten on the outside but still strange on the inside.
Just clear it up for me.
It’s a pity that he can only satisfy a little bit of my curiosity, which makes me scratch my head and toss and turn”
The words of a "planetary gourmet" commenting on the taste of the world have ended here. Mason's lack of expression really shows that his emotional intelligence is too low.
The boss didn't need to say anything, he immediately handed over his diary that he never left behind.
It was a magic notebook given by Mr. Potter, in which Mason wrote down everything he encountered after joining the Council of Stars and all his guesses.
If this diary had a name, it would probably be called "Two or Three Things About Maoren Old K and the Star Club"?
"The content is detailed, the plot is interesting, and the more difficult points are not watery at all."
Heiqi turned over a few pages and became interested. He glanced at Mason and said:
"For the sake of this diary, you can ask whatever you want."
"Your world. I mean the world that you destroyed. Did it die before the impact or after?"
Mason asked quietly.
Dr. Dark Strange snorted and said in a penetrating voice:
"What you really want to ask is why I destroyed it? He's such a clever guy, and he knows how to make innuendoes, but there's nothing he can't say.
I lost my love and I want to get her back.
So I tried again and again.
I succeeded and I failed.
The complete collapse of the entire plane from the timeline level was just a giveaway from that failure, and this realm you see is the last remnant of my world in the multiverse.
It will follow me to the end of the universe's collapse, and will be used as fuel and sacrifice for the rebirth of the era just like other worlds. ”
Mason's heart moved. It seemed that the indescribable black man's strange experience in front of him was just like the story he knew in his mind. He thought about it and asked again:
"Frog Tu can't control you, right? You can leave anytime you want."
"It wasn't him who imprisoned me."
Heiqi looked at Mason's notes and said without raising his head:
"A world or universe without Christine is just a bigger cage to me. Staying here is no different from staying outside.
I know what you're trying to do, Mason Cooper.
But give up.
I don't care about the invasion of the Skrulls or even the survival of the outside world. There is indeed Christine in this world, but she is not the one who belongs to me.
I've always been picky about this. ”
"But I care about the fate of the Skrulls."
Mason spread his hands and said:
"I came here with a mission. I hope this world can survive the coming conflicts and wars, so that my little plan can have another chance of winning.
I can tell you everything I know, and after I'm done, can I leave here and get on with my work? ”
"Oh, Mason, how I want to tell you, you can."
Heiqi Qi sighed and returned the notes he had read to Mason. He shook his head and said:
"But actually you can't.
Your activities in this world have greatly interfered with the timeline it should have followed. Your previous actions against the Pym family have caused this world to lose a possibility to the future.
Observer Frog Picture was very unhappy about this.
He asked me to keep you here so that his observations can continue. ”
"What is the significance of this observation?"
Mason retorted:
"High-dimensional creatures like Frog Tu can see the future and the past. What he is doing is not observation at all. He is just making sure that the things he wants to see continue to happen.
That big bald guy is a dogmatic idiot.
But you are different, Doctor.
You already know that the impact exists, so it doesn't matter whether the world can continue according to its inherent timeline! It will eventually be destroyed.
Even if it is not destroyed by the impact, it will be destroyed by the invasion of the Star Society.
Then even you will be involved in the conflict. ”
"Well said!"
Dr. Dark Strange clapped his hands, shook his head and said:
“But it’s not good enough.
Even if the outside world is destroyed, it won't affect this place. On the contrary, if you two stay here, the devil who planted a soul curse on you will no longer be able to hurt you.
I can ensure that my little realm will survive until the end of this cosmic era.
It’s not too far anyway.
And when the real end of the universe comes, the three of us can still return to nothingness together, and we will have a companion on the road.
Oh, no!
Not three, but two.
The sacrifice must be carried out nine days later, and one of you two will be the sacrifice, so the one you need to convince now is not me. You should find a way to make Constantine take the initiative to die heroically. "(End of Chapter)
