Chapter 427 42. The invincible Uncle Tun! Someone is touching you here!
The restart of the Exile ship was just a false alarm, but when the Green Goblin's headless head was rolled up by the mechanical tentacles and thrown out of the main control room, Mason still shrugged regretfully.
He said to Shiri beside him:
"I originally planned to take this middle-aged version of Norman back to show old Norman, but that's fine. It's also dangerous to bring around a cunning guy who always wants to pick up the slack."
"The Green Goblin at Osborne Tower is tough enough."
Shirley nodded in agreement and shared the gossip with Mason:
"He joined the Quint Society under your recommendation, but he just kept eating resources and refused to do all the tasks ordered by Old A.
But precisely because of the personnel placed in various departments under the council, Old A was unable to kick the Green Goblin out.
I'm sure Old A knows about the offensive and defensive alliance between you and the Green Goblin, but he can't come up with any good ideas. ”
"It's not that he can't deal with the old Green Goblin's cunning, he's just too lazy to spend his time."
Mason corrected:
"Even if Norman doesn't cooperate, all he has in his hands is an insignificant wasteland world. In the eyes of old A, the threat of the old Green Goblin is not as good as mine.
Our leader always focuses on the grand narrative and his own great goals. He has obviously fallen down, but he doesn't seem to have learned much. ”
"Welcome both of you to the Exile."
When they entered the spacecraft along the crack in the main control room, Buttermos controlled the mechanical throne to hover in front of them. There were dazzling blood stains on it, and an autonomous drone was floating there for cleaning and wiping.
"Want to come over to the chair? Mason."
The God of Hackers sent the Mechanical Throne to Mason and invited:
"I have released the safety lock. You can experience the feeling of driving a spaceship with a human brain, as well as the various secrets Brainiac hides in this spaceship.
But when I saw the log, you guys have emptied his treasure room. It's a pity. I originally planned to distribute the loot fairly. ”
"But we agreed, you only want this spaceship."
Mason refused to sit on Brainiac's mechanical throne. He raised his head and said to an observation camera on the throne:
"It is only right that we take away the treasure. When I was fighting on this ship before, I noticed a sealing structure in the middle of the hull. Based on my understanding of the spacecraft vehicle, it was definitely not a hull device.
So I'm curious, what's in it?
That's what you chose to work with me for, right?
Those hidden secrets are what you data beings must get. Do you mind sharing this secret with me? For the sake of us already being friends. ”
"Of course, I'd be happy to introduce you to Brainiac's true ambitions."
Buttermoss did not refuse Mason's request, but before opening the sealed space, he reminded Mason:
"But you have to tell me first, what did you find in Brainiac's treasure house?"
Mason and Ciri looked at each other.
He released the items he had previously taken from the treasure house from his luggage, the most conspicuous of which was of course the black sphere protected by an independent energy device.
Mason had no time to look at it carefully because it was raided by the Sentinels before. As soon as he took it out, the hacker god in front of him let out a sigh:
"This thing is indeed! It is the 'Black Apple', the cosmic artifact that Brainiac seized during the collapse of the Wall of Origin."
"Black Apple? The Wall of Origin Collapse?"
Mason blinked and looked at the empty Mechanical Throne in front of him. Although there was no one on it, he could vaguely see Buttermoss, dressed like a programmer, sitting on it and pushing his eyes.
He asked:
"Is this related to the truth about the impact?"
"It's not related. This incident happened a long time ago. It's hard to say whether there is a direct connection between the two. I also found the ancient file after secretly hacking into the research host of Fox Nest. .”
Bartmos explains:
"The multiverse-level crisis has been calmed down by the intervention of some mysterious organizations, but many divine objects were thrown into the material universe when the Wall of Origin, which is the barrier and frontier of the multiverse, was broken.
This ‘black apple’ is one of them. ”
The God of Hackers controlled a mechanical tentacle with detection function and circled around the black sphere. He said with emotion:
"It is said that this thing gathers the forbidden knowledge of all things originating from the origin of the universe, and can give 'answers' to all those who hold it. The scientists in the Fox Nest have always wanted to get one.
But after nearly eighteen years of development and execution, and searching countless worlds, nothing was found.
This is truly priceless!
But it is indeed in line with Brainiac's nature of pursuing all knowledge that can be grasped. I guess that the reason why he secretly carried out his big plan without telling the Council was due to the revelation given to him by the 'Black Apple'
< br>
Mason, can you exchange this for us? ”
Bartmos Requested to:
"We are willing to give you everything you desire in exchange. If you don't want to give up, we can also exchange for the right to use it. It only takes one time.
We have a lot of questions and we want answers. ”
"Let's talk about it later."
Mason looked at this black sphere of extraordinary origin, and he said to Buttermoss:
"I'm not stalling for time. The main thing is that I have to study it first before I can reach a conclusion. If it doesn't mean much to me, I can even give it to you.
Can you help me unlock this independent energy protection device? ”
"Yes, but it will take some time."
The God of Hackers replied:
"You can complete the unlocking while going to Brainiac's 'real treasure house', but the remaining items must also be taken seriously. Brainiac's collection is by no means simple."
"Indeed."
Ciri was not interested in the black apple.
She was looking through several other things at the moment, including a Moebius chair with part of its device disassembled, Origin
The first two are easy to understand, but the last pile of oily things seems completely incompatible with the word "treasure house".
The stain should be thrown directly into the garbage dump, but the fact that it is so cherished by Brainiac and placed alongside a cosmic artifact like the Black Apple proves that it is extraordinary.
Mason bent down and put his hand on the pile of broken parts. The feedback he received in the next moment made his face change slightly:
Miracle Machine/Wish Machine
Status: Disassembled·Components complete·Needs to be reassembled
Effect:
Activate the wish machine and realize your heart's strongest desire.
hint!
The Wish Machine will disassemble itself every time it is started, and its parts will be scattered in any known area. If you want to use it again, you must first reassemble it.
Producer: Morrison
Item description: Have you seen "Dragon Ball"? This thing is the technological version of Dragon Ball, but when you can use it in the future, you must choose your wishes carefully. You only have one chance in a lifetime.
hint!
Repairing the Miracle Machine requires Engineering Lv10 and understanding the knowledge of "Law of Cause and Effect".
Mason retracted his palm with a strange expression, which surprised Ciri and asked:
"What is that thing?"
Mason pursed his lips and said:
"The Miracle Machine is, of course, a damaged wreckage. Brainiac must have spent a lot of time finding it and trying to put it back together, but it's not that easy."
"That 'miracle machine' that claims to be able to fulfill all wishes without side effects?"
The Lord Hunter was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously:
"When the Destiny Machine in the Great Library was repaired, it was said that the principles of that machine were used as reference. Can you really repair this thing?"
"Not yet, but maybe in the future."
Mason is cautiously optimistic.
But to be honest, the information label on this thing stated that the repair required Level 10 engineering and the requirement to be familiar with the "Law of Cause and Effect", which put a lot of pressure on him.
This is basically an "advanced challenge" that can only be attempted after he has completed all branches.
"Then take it first, don't forget to owe me a favor."
Xiri picked through the Origin
This is her share of this development. Coupled with the Origin Glove artifact in her hand at this time, this harvest is very impressive even for the rich and generous old aunt of the great mentor.
Mason turned his attention to Brainiac's last collection, the black mechanical chair with some modules removed. He put his hand on it and patted it.
Information label pops up:
Safe Mode·Mobius Chair No.0
Quality: Legendary engineering items·Immortal craftsmanship [removing key modules reduces quality]
Effect:
1. Noble Phantasm of Knowledge:
In order to more conveniently seize the secrets of the universe, Brainiac disassembled and rendered harmless the Moebius chair he found. He removed key modules to make the system open source and no longer required to test the user's health. qualifications.
This robs the item of its ability to penetrate the mysteries of the universe.
But it is connected to the central database of the Exile ship, and users can browse all the information left by the conqueror of the universe, Brainiac.
This item can interact with all known data storage methods and capture and store knowledge according to the user's will.
This item's data storage uses Apokolips technology and can be considered unlimited.
This item is made in a way that mimics Mother Box technology, so it has data intrusion and remote control of most mechanical bodies.
2. Dimensional vehicles:
This item is considered a [vehicle], and the minimum requirement for its safe use is Engineering Level 8.
When the engineering skill reaches Lv8, the user can try to disable "safe mode" and unlock the weapon system.
After the safe mode is released, the Mobius Chair will have the [Plane Teleportation] effect, which can transport the user freely and safely to any recorded plane.
3. Urgent need for repair:
After the user understands the structure and working principle of the Mobius Chair, they can try to repair the vehicle to restore it to its original version and re-establish the connection between the object and the mysteries of the universe.
warn!
This operation will cause the [harmless] effect of the Mobius chair to disappear and cause unpredictable effects to the user.
hint!
Perfect repair of this item requires Engineering Lv10 and knowledge related to "Digital Rate".
Producer: Metron
Item description: There may be many Möbius chairs in countless parallel worlds, but the one in front of you is special because it is the source of all Möbius chairs and the first one born in the entire parallel world system. The Chair of Mystery.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the value of genuine products. You just need to know that even Brainiac didn’t have the guts to sit on it directly.
Mason stared at the name of the chair, and the "No. 0" logo made him raise his eyebrows. Team K had a complete Moebius chair before, which was a gift from the master.
But that chair was temporarily given to Fox Nest to study the topic of world integration. Now this "castrated version" seems to have come at the right time.
At least it can help Mason get familiar with the operation.
However, he sighed when he saw that his current engineering level was only Lv6+1, and he still needed to upgrade it to another level to meet the minimum requirements for controlling this thing.
So.
Dear Mason Engineering colleagues! Don't have any rest tonight, right?
He sent a message in his mind to his water clones who were busy in the suitcase factory, and soon received a response from his clones.
Everyone is a group of roll kings, and there is no problem of fatigue when shaping water molecules.
Isn’t that just staying up late to cultivate immortality? Come on!
"唰"
The lower hatch of the main control room leading to the internal structure of the spacecraft slowly opened, and Buttermos activated a Brainiac escort robot, leading Ciri and Mason downward like a guide.
He explained:
"You will see Brainiac's biggest secret in a moment. Be mentally prepared. Even a data life like me was deeply moved when I saw it for the first time.
You must know that Brainiac's desire to find the perfect body for himself to complete his upgrade is not just to gain power, it is only part of his grand goal.
In other words, it is the first step in a great journey.
Unfortunately, this level 12 intelligent creature seems to have chosen the wrong opponent.
His real journey was over before it even began. ”
"It must be quite shocking for a powerful Hope Trustee to see something as a great journey."
Mason pushed up the frame on the bridge of his nose, filled with the expectation of revealing the secret, while Ciri was not so optimistic. She kept her hand on the hilt of the Sword of the Lady of the Lake at her waist.
As a great mentor, her intuition told her that such great secrets would often have corresponding dangers waiting.
The internal structure of the Exile's ship was encrypted in several layers, and Bartmos took some time to open them all. However, when the last major door was opened, several dangerous beams of light also shot out from it.
The sneer in Xili's heart flashed out, and then screams sounded from the front. Mason blinked and raised his right hand and rushed out, scolding a group of guys who were fighting in Xili:
"Back off!"
This scolding was like a law.
When the Skrull spiritual beacon on his right wrist took effect, the large group of Skrulls hiding here dropped their weapons and knelt down one by one with pale faces.
The Skrull Queen Viklan, who had disappeared in the chaos before, also retreated hastily, but she gritted her teeth and endured the oppression from the spiritual beacon, blocking the road to the deeper places, and begged Mason and Ciri:
< br>
"Don't destroy it! Please!"
"What are you hiding here for?"
Mason asked without needing an answer from the Skrulls. Amidst Buttermoss' chuckle, the last mechanical partition was opened, revealing the deepest secret of the Exile's ship.
In a mysterious space like a "glass fish tank" in front of you, tens of thousands of world planets shrunk to the size of a fist are arranged in it.
They are set to operate in special patterns, and there is even a captured star placed in this "miniature galaxy" to emit light and heat.
It's like a simulation of an astronomical experiment.
But every world in this system is real, and every planet is carefully selected and placed in it by Brainiac.
These are "fine worlds" that the conquerors of the universe have spent many years amassing.
"They are protecting their world, Mason. They fear that you will choose to destroy their true homeland because of the war crimes they have committed."
Bartmos’s faint explanation:
"Look carefully, the seventeenth planet in the third spiral arm.
The green one!
That was the Skrull homeworld, where all of Queen Viklan's people lived, and they had been housed in this miniature galaxy for nearly seventeen years. ”
Amid the pleadings of the Skrulls, Mason stepped forward and stood in front of the unsealed console. He and Ciri looked at the running miniature galaxy in front of them with shocked eyes.
This must have been shaped by Brainiac using the power of some unknown technology.
"Don't try, they can't be released now."
The hacker god whispered:
"Brainiac placed them here as his 'steps to godhood' in the new era. He set up safety locks for this system in advance.
Only when an epoch change is detected will these planets be released from this stable system.
If they were to be forcibly untied, they would only annihilate each other in an instant. ”
"Becoming a god through this?"
Xili said in confusion:
"I can't understand it."
"It's 'symbolic'."
Mason bit his lip and whispered:
"Brainiac is deliberately imitating the birth process of Galactus, one of the five gods of the universe. I probably know all his plans."
Ps:
Brainiac's armor and collection of weapons should be the tenth metal, which is X metal, not the ninth metal·N metal. I made a mistake. Thanks to the brothers for reminding me, I will find time to change it later. (End of chapter)
