Chapter 470 16. Facing fate is always stressful, so it is human nature to choose to escape

Mason left the office but did not dial the number immediately. Instead, he lit a cigarette at the exit of the undetectable area on this floor, and first conveyed the news to the old man that Class A members of the Society of Stars had infiltrated.

In this current situation, it is time to activate the hidden thread that the Assassin's League has been hiding.

After the old man received the message, Mason blew out a smoke ring and dialed the communicator in his hand to a special frequency. He turned on the optical projection and waited patiently for the connection.

After ten seconds of busy tone, a voice suddenly sounded:

"Hello?"

Along with the sound, there was also a figure projected in front of him.

The white cloak covers the body, wrapping the whole body like a mummy, and shapes a crescent moon on the forehead. There are no other facial features on the covered cheeks except a pair of moonlight eyes.

This person is clearly the A-class member "God Envoy" who had a relationship with Mason at the Rock of Eternity.

His true identity is Moon Knight, the messenger of the Egyptian god Khonsu.

"I'm still waiting for when you will contact me?"

Although Moon Knight has no mouth and only one pair of eyes, the moonlight-shining pupils twisted into weird arcs are clearly showing a smile.

This guy stared at Mason opposite the projection. He knocked on the table rhythmically in a dark place and said:

"I admit that your act of sending the fake to join us when we abducted Black Adam was very clever. Your pretender was really powerful, and even I was fooled.

However, the power of destiny finally identified this traitor for us. You know that you are doing useless work, right? ”

"Useless effort? I don't think so."

Mason burned the cigarette butts in his hands, and in the misty smoke he said to the Moon Knight in front of him:

"Am I not talking to you secretly now? Your Majesty the Envoy, isn't this conversation hidden from the Warlock Mentor? I never imagined that my pretender could lurk among you for a long time.
< br>

In fact, being able to set up a secret channel to contact each other has fulfilled all my expectations.

She accomplished this task extremely well.

She deserves an award and I hope you didn't kill her. ”

"Pa"

Moon Knight snapped his fingers.

The dim area where he was was instantly illuminated by the bright moonlight, and the whereabouts of the pretender sent by Mason, the Skrull Queen Viklan, was also revealed.

The poor Skrull Queen was hung in the air with her arms pulled by two chains, with her head lowered and not knowing whether she was alive or dead, but the scars remaining on her body represented the horrific torture she had just experienced.

"She's really loyal to you."

Moon Knight said in a relaxed tone:

"I have traveled across the worlds and heard about the reputation of the Skrulls. I really can't imagine how you can make these naturally chaotic people so loyal to you.

We have used various methods to torture her and interrogate her. We have even asked for all the information about the queen's seven lovers, even the time and place when she first tasted the forbidden fruit in her youth.

But she gritted her teeth and refused to reveal any secrets about you and Team K. To be honest, her stubbornness disgusted me!

If you hadn't made this call at this time, we might have opened her head.

Reveal the secret, shall we?

How on earth did you train these Skrulls? ”

"Freedom."

Mason touched the Skalul spiritual beacon on his right hand and said:

"I promise to give them true freedom and the power to choose their future."

"Hey, I guess that's it. It's so boring."

Moonlight Knight snorted, and he no longer took the initiative to speak. He just looked at Mason in the cruel background of the unconscious Queen Viklan being hung up and still bleeding.

He was waiting for Mason to take the initiative to speak.

"You didn't tell Warlock this news. You said you had been waiting for me to contact you. This shows that you also have doubts about the outcome of this world invasion launched by Warlock.

In this case, it means that there is the possibility of cooperation between the two parties. ”

Mason said:

"Let's talk, tell me your terms, and answer me a question."

"No, no, no."

Moonlight Knight shook his head and said:

"It was just my own selfishness not to report your little move to the warlock. Mason, my mysterious and powerful compatriot, since the establishment of the Star Society, this is the first time I have seen the Grand Master go to such great lengths to fight for a world.

The confrontation between you and the warlock has clearly gone beyond business.

This is an obviously personal feud, and I'm interested in the inside story, and I'd even be willing to be your friend if I could.

But this is just my private thoughts.

You have to understand that we people are never free. Just as the three major mentors represent different forces, A-class members also have their own difficulties. ”

This guy pointed to the sky. Although he didn't say it clearly, Mason already understood what he meant.

The captain nodded and said:

"So, even if you have no interest in the warlock's invasion and victory, you still have to lead your team members to participate in this world war because the people behind you don't give you more options?"

"That's right! It's easy to talk to smart people."

Moonlight Knight laughed, but he spread his hands and said helplessly:

"The gods in the legend are not noble, firm, or wise. They gathered together to deal with the end of the world, and were promised to join the council and occupy seats.

For the truly strong, the majesty of the gods is like the moon in the well and the flower in the mirror. They can ignore the thoughts of the gods and decide many things, which makes the gods dissatisfied.

But now I am just dissatisfied.

It's far from the time to abandon or break up. The main reason is that the gods, who have extremely strong self-esteem and strong desire to survive, currently cannot see a second option.

Mason Cooper, they're the ones you can fight for, and I'm tired of helping the bad guys, and I wish I had more options like you.

So my advice to you is, treat this like a show and show them what you can do.

The Angel Squad is your enemy!

But we may not always be enemies. It all depends on how you and your world behave next. Don't expect us to show mercy.

However, if you can show mercy to us when you have the upper hand, I will certainly thank you and remember your kindness.

Well, that's all I can tell you before the war begins.

Let's do a hostage exchange next. ”

Moonlight Knight pointed at the Skrull Queen Viklan behind him and said:

"Send back the Black Adam I need. I'll send back your servants. You just said you have another question? Tell me. I'm in a good mood today. If I can answer it, I'll tell you everything."

"Then I asked."

Mason didn't care about this guy's arrogant attitude. This is how a person with an advantage should speak. He coughed and said:

"Other than Lex Luthor and the bastards of the Sky Eye Society, who else does Warlock have in our world?"

"Tsk, tsk, look at what you asked this question."

Moonlight Knight snorted and said:

"You already have the answer in your mind, right? There are only a few people there who can monitor the world, and even fewer can cooperate with us to infiltrate without anyone noticing.

I don't know what you think, why would you let a traitor be responsible for guarding the gate? Maybe it's because that gentleman is pretending well?

Or is it because he is so majestic that you all dare not doubt him? ”

"After learning that Black Adam had rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, I did have doubts about the big man's true thoughts."

Mason flexed his fingers and said:

"I just want to know when did he collude with you?"

"Good question."

Moonlight Knight knocked on the table and asked:

"Then when did he become aware of the impact? You see, any world where 'prophet' exists is always boring, and those who can see the future will be tortured.

They know that the future is dark, and they want to save the world but have no ability to change their destiny. Under the dual pressure of a dark future and inner torture, these prophets can easily go astray.

But it's not their fault.

They need to find a way to avoid the worst outcomes, but there will always be problems with these methods, and any change must come at a cost.

Knowing the future is never a blessing, it is the most terrible curse in the world.

That's all I can say.

Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you before the end of the communication, Mason, please listen carefully. ”

The messenger of the gods paused and said to Mason in an emphasis:

"Not all A-class members are die-hard loyalists to Warlock. His reputation is not big enough to make everyone bow down, just like I am in the same situation now.

If you're sharp enough to find what everyone wants, it's not impossible to convince everyone to risk their lives with you, but there are indeed a few guys among the twelve who are very die-hard.

They choose to side with the Warlock forever for various reasons, so you must be careful when meeting them.

Don't capsize in the gutter.

Tomorrow at noon, Rock of Eternity, hostage exchange, okay? ”

"Yeah, no problem."

Mason nodded and said:

"Thanks for the reminder."

"Alas, don't talk nonsense!"

Moonlight Knight snorted and scolded:

"I didn't tell you anything. When you are taken back to Star Castle and tried as a traitor, please don't confess me, okay?"

"Yeah."

Mason hung up the communication.

He took a deep breath and returned to the office. A group of people inside stared at him. The captain looked around and said:

"The general invasion of the Star Society will happen before noon tomorrow, or even in the next hour or the next second. The good news is that not all A-level teams are die-hard enemies. They can communicate and be persuaded.


But the bad news is, we don’t know who the shaky enemies are.

In addition, the identity of the last messenger of the Society of Stars in this world has been confirmed. ”

"Doctor Fate?"

The master said something hoarsely, and Mason nodded.

This heavy truth silenced everyone present.

"Impossible!"

In the silence, Xiao Zha, who pushed the door in, shouted:

"Doctor Fate can't be a traitor! He was my mentor. After my father disappeared, he almost single-handedly trained me to where I am now.

It was he who told us about the existence of impact!

It is he who leads us to find a way out in despair, and it is he who boosts the morale of the spellcasters so that they will not be overwhelmed by the darkness.

Those kids!

Mason, the children from Hogwarts have all seen him, he gives them lessons, he teaches them the true meaning of magic, the children regard him as a reliable elder and call him 'Headmaster'.

No!

It can't be him, you guessed wrong!

You have no evidence! ”

Zha Kang wanted to appease his ex-girlfriend, but Xiao Zha was so excited that Zha Kang, a grown man, couldn't hold her down. Shazam and the Demon Knight who were following him couldn't say anything else in this situation. many.

But they were clearly leaning towards Mason and Master's guess being correct.

In fact, combined with this truth and looking back carefully like a hindsight, that guy showed a lot of flaws before. Before the third impact, it was he who called on the heroes to gather to face another world, and it was he who advocated destroying it to preserve it. home.

During the battle after Mason and the Justice League fell out, he was also responsible for tracking the wizards who fled this world, but he allowed them to hide in the world for more than two months.

For a super spellcaster who can go back in time and see the future clearly, this can no longer be described as a mistake.

Kandak's Black Adam was also very close to him, and it was impossible for him not to know about Black Adam's defection to the enemy.

It is not that no one has doubted Dr. Fate, but as the leader of the magic circle in this world, he should have been the most staunch force to resist the invasion, but he became an accomplice of the enemy. This fact is really too shocking.

"Do you know the story of Mason and I's home world?"

Although the White Queen sitting on the chair doesn't know much about Doctor Fate's life, she has no problem comparing Doctor Fate to Doctor Strange.

The charming old aunt stood up and walked to the angry Xiao Zha. She stared at the girl's red eyes and said in an indifferent tone:

"We also have a prophet there who can travel through time and see into the future. He should have tried his best to protect the world from the threat of destruction. He also saw the dark future and wanted to find ways to avoid it.

That terrible pressure oppressed him and finally drove him into madness, and he personally dedicated our world to evil and chaos.

That man was once named Stephen Strange, a symbol of hope and wisdom.

His current name is ‘Warlock’!

He is preparing to lead his pioneers into the world and crush us all to death! I know it's hard for you to accept, but it is what it is.

This is just another drama about the fall of a prophet.

They are so similar, and the problems and pressures they face are exactly the same, that I have no idea how Warlock convinced Dr. Fate to obey him.

They may have become friends.

They definitely have a lot in common. ”

The White Queen put her hand on the head of Xiao Zha, who was holding her head and crying. The power of soothing soul seeped into the violent emotions, and she said softly:

"If you don't believe all this, you can ask him personally. I think my son Mason and his friends are willing to accompany you. The war is about to begin.

Cry now while you can.

Cry away the weak tears, leaving a firm will as strong as iron to face tomorrow's disasters.

If you continue to cry tomorrow, you will only bring shame on yourself. ”

"The Tower of Destiny where Doctor Fate is located gathers the magic of the entire world, and it is the center."

The Demon Knight said expressionlessly:

"Those who don't understand magic can only seek death if they enter there. Leave this matter to us. Although we may not be Doctor Fate's opponents, we will personally eradicate the traitors among us.

As for the upcoming war"

"Let's do it!"

The old man looked at the painful Xiao Zha and sighed in his heart. He still cared about this childhood sweetheart of his, but now he couldn't show weakness.

He looked out the window at Gotham City at dusk, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice:

"You go and eliminate the traitors, and we will prepare for war."

Lady Catwoman quietly reached out and held the master's hand, while the others also looked solemn.

Even Zha Kang no longer smiled playfully.

"The time-space teleportation of Xiao Shen's treadmill has been verified successfully, and the replication machine at Osborne Tower is working overtime."

Mason took out his magic suitcase and said to the others in the room:

"Warlocks will definitely choose to block the door to the world when the war begins, but reinforcements from other worlds can still join the battlefield at any time according to our wishes. This is our biggest advantage,

This will be the final word.

At this moment, it is meaningless to make long-term plans. The only thing left is to give it a try! Everyone, although it is unlucky to say this.

But if we are destined to die indefinitely, may we all die a worthy death. "(End of Chapter)
