Chapter 471 17. Jimei unite and smash the tower together!
The Tower of Destiny, the residence of Doctor Fate Kent Nelson.
It is a mysterious building located in the real world but not visible to ordinary people. Even members of the magic circle who want to visit Dr. Fate need to make an appointment in advance.
This boss obviously has the grace and majesty that a leader of spell casters should have, but because of his secretive whereabouts and ability to see through time, it is basically impossible to ambush him from the outside world.
The good news is that Dr. Fate himself does not have the ability of the Sorcerer Supreme to control time. His time-seeing is more about prediction than reversal.
Only when he wears the helmet given to him by Nabu, the god of order, does he have super powers such as time travel and immortality.
The bad news is, according to Zatanna, who is close to Dr. Fate, Dr. Fate has been wearing a helmet for years.
"He once told me that when he put on the helmet, he could talk to the spirit of the god Naboo, and the ancient god of order would also give him divine power through the helmet."
On the top floor of the Afterlife Bar, Xiao Zha, who had stabilized his mind, introduced a group of magical characters who were ready to go to the Tower of Destiny to "remove bugs and shoot the sun":
"Nelson once told me that Naboo is not a good god in the standard sense. Everything he claims to do is to maintain order. Therefore, when encountering certain situations that require a choice or Nelson himself and Naboo When God's ideas match, He forces Nelson to act according to His will
At such times, Nelson would take off his Naboo helmet and use his magic and wisdom to solve problems. ”
Xiao Zha took a deep breath, looked at Mason who was loading vibranium cursed armor-piercing bullets into his pistol, and said:
"So, I suspect that the alliance between Doctor Fate and Warlock was not out of Nelson's own will. It is possible that the god Naboo controlled him. This can be seen from the fact that he has not taken off his helmet for a long time,
He'd been bewitched by that damn helmet. ”
"It's possible!"
Next to him, Shazam grabbed the belt of the replica Thor's Hammer and swung the weapon with lightning splashing, while saying to the others:
"When I visited Mrs. Xanadu last time, I heard her occasionally say that Wizard Nelson used to be funny and humorous, but since he was inseparable from his helmet, he has become more and more withdrawn."
Demon Knight Jason Blood has no opinion on this. He is currently choosing weapons for combat among the demon-breaking weapons that Mason took out.
But it can be seen from his expression that he is quite dissatisfied with Xiao Zha and Shazam's speculation.
Since they are already enemies, stop speaking for each other. Now just think about how to kill him. As for mourning, you can leave it to the funeral.
Zha Kang also had the same attitude.
The dark wizard sat at Mason's desk. He blew out smoke rings and said:
"But don't forget one thing. Kent Nelson can take off his helmet anytime he wants. No one is forcing him to wear it all the time, so don't take things so well.
In my opinion, this matter cannot be ended without some bloodshed. ”
As he spoke, Zha Kang looked at Mason and indicated with his eyes whether he could contact Hei Qiqi. Obviously, this guy felt that if something went wrong during this operation, he would have to call the big boss to come to the rescue.
But Mason shook his head.
He put the four magazines containing different bullets in front of him into his bag, put Lao Wan's helmet on his head, stood up and said to the others:
"No matter what the truth is, we have to deal with Doctor Destiny ourselves! We have foreign aid, but it's not time for them to appear. This is a battle for the survival of the world. I hope you can all take it seriously."
"You should be more direct."
The Demon Knight turned around holding an Origin X metal halberd and said in a more direct tone:
"No matter what everyone thinks of Doctor Fate, or how good some people are with him privately, Kent Nelson is an enemy now that he has betrayed him.
The goal of this trip is to get rid of him.
No one should have any objections to this, right? ”
Xiao Zha knew that Jason was telling her this, but she could not refute it at this time and could only silently cast a spell to open the portal to the Tower of Destiny.
Mason took a look at the non-staff members on this trip, including Poison Ivy, who had become the spokesperson for the green of all things, Zombie Wanda, and the great wizard McGonagall, who was held in her arms and resting with her eyes closed.
He said:
"Time is urgent and we cannot summon more magic heroes to come for support, and they may not dare to rush to the Tower of Destiny with us. Needless to say, the danger of this trip is so high. If you have any requests, just ask them."
< br>
"I want more blackness of decay!"
Zombie Wanda waved her ferocious zombie claws rudely and said:
"Now this power is not enough to suppress the blood lust in my heart. It will interfere with my spellcasting. I hope I can return to a completely rational state.
That big zombie Solomon Grundy is not your friend, so why should you keep it? ”
"That's what worries me too, Mason."
Poison Ivy Ivy held the hands of Harley and Quinn. She blinked her green eyes and asked in confusion:
"Is it really okay for you to imprison all the members of the Legion of Doom here? Not to mention how long the plant spores I left behind can suppress the redness of all living beings on Leopard Girl. Just a few other guys are not good.
They won't just stay here and die.
Now that the master and others have gone to prepare for the war, and you want to take us to the Tower of Destiny, the androids in the bar, Groot and Rocket alone cannot stop them.
Each of those guys are geniuses at escaping prison. ”
"Then let them run."
Mason narrowed his eyes and said:
"Lex Luthor is a big threat. He is hiding now but I need him to show up. The members of the Legion of Doom will help us find Luthor.
Then, his ordeal will begin.
I hate the Society of the Stars.
But I hate those ‘awakeners’ even more! To put it bluntly, it is still unclear whether we will win or lose this battle, but I am not going to let any of these traitors go! ”
Ivy nodded after hearing Mason's explanation. She probably understood Mason's plan and stopped asking any more questions.
As the portal to the Tower of Destiny was opened by Zuckerberg, Mason stood up and stepped into it. The other members of Team K, basically the entire Bat Family, were left here under his command.
Erbang, Barbara and Catwoman are not magic characters and are of little use in the past. Kite Man is also an excellent scout and fire support after the equipment is upgraded. It makes more sense for them to stay in Gotham and follow the master.
Leopard Girl said that three A-level teams had infiltrated into this world, which was a huge threat. The Justice League became busy because of this, and even the Young K team was sent to Metropolis.
Now everyone has their own work, and no one can take time off.
"You should stay here, Harley, and Quinn."
Poison Ivy persuaded her two best friends:
"The Tower of Destiny is a dangerous place. You know nothing about magic. It will be dangerous to follow."
"But we have this!"
Harley blew a big bubble gum and patted Quinn on the shoulder.
The latter held up his own X-metal warhammer with an expressionless face. This is a rare magic-breaking item. The power of X-metal to be immune to magic is enough to make Quinn the best magic killer.
Harley must have made up her mind to follow Mason, no matter where the sweetheart went, she would follow him. For this reason, she also took two short knives from Brainiac's X metal arsenal and stuck them at her waist.
Seeing that Ivy couldn't persuade her, she could only take out two magic seeds and told them to take them with them.
A group of people crossed the portal and came to a flat valley. There was nothing in front of them. But as Zha Kang pinched a ball of magic powder and sprinkled it forward, the disguised illusion suddenly disappeared, turning an obelisk-shaped golden obelisk. The tower appeared before everyone's eyes.
This tall tower has no decorative patterns, no windows or even doors. It is obviously impossible to be allowed to enter by knocking on the door politely.
Xiao Zha stepped forward and put her hand on the wall, silently reciting the magic that entered the Tower of Destiny. The purple arc light danced on her fingertips but showed no change.
The magician Hei Changzhi turned around with an ugly expression and said to everyone:
"Nelson blocked the Tower of Destiny, and there was no response when I called Inza."
"Why bother? Are we here as guests?"
Zha Kang lowered his head, held a cigarette in his mouth, and made a gesture to Quinn.
Quinn, who changed into a red and black leather suit to distinguish herself from Harley, stepped forward and swung the Origin
The demon-breaking object's immunity to magic immediately triggered a chain reaction.
The magic power contained in the extremely solid wall was defeated, so it instantly shattered, and a "door" was opened in the dust, allowing everyone to enter and exit freely.
Quinn picked up the war hammer with a malicious smile, blew a kiss to her little sweetheart, and then made a "please" gesture.
"Wait a minute, let me give you some protection."
Shazam called to everyone.
This guy who looked tall and handsome but was actually only fifteen years old raised his war hammer in a decent manner. Blue lightning fell from the sky and converged on everyone, forming a surrounding arc.
This is a new trick that Shazam just learned.
Call upon the power of the Six Gods to strengthen your teammates so that they can send them to you.
But this effect was of no use to Mason. As soon as the divine lightning fell, it was swallowed by the still sleeping Black Death Sword fragment.
Mason curled his lips, not caring about Shazam's wide eyes. Without the Black Death Sword to protect him, he would not have joined the battle against Doctor Destiny.
But if Kent Nelson is really bewitched by Naboo, the god of order, then Mason will ask Naboo to taste the fiery taste of the Black Death Sword.
"Wow! Why is this here! What an annoying place."
Harley yelled angrily when she walked into the Tower of Destiny carrying a baseball bat.
What appears in front of everyone is not a real upward staircase, but a special structure like a cut plane.
It seems that the entire interior of the tower is composed of square magic platforms, like a large number of "building blocks" rotating and reorganizing in a disorderly and chaotic manner in the purple space.
This obviously does not comply with the laws of physics and fully proves that the interior of the Tower of Destiny should be a demiplane isolated from the material world.
"A very subtle architectural magic. The spatial system is completely disrupted here, and even the laws of physics no longer apply here."
The hat on Mason's head immediately became active when he saw this thing in front of him. It twisted its body and "looked left and right", and warned Mason in its heart:
"Your engineering gadgets may fail here, but the power of magical side creations will be strengthened here, and the contract connection with Fox will not be affected, but you must be careful.
Doctor Fate's understanding of magic is obviously several levels beyond mine, and I may not be able to help you detect danger in advance. ”
"Um, is that so?"
Mason threw the Falk gun back into his bag, pulled out two finely crafted Judgment Guns and held them in his hands.
Although he is not good at melee combat, the Gungnir war spear he made by himself can also be used as a long-range weapon, and when thrown, it enjoys the bonus of his shooting skills.
"Go up!"
Zatanna, who had spent several years studying magic with Dr. Fate, was familiar with this place.
She held the imitation Staff of Hermes previously provided by Mason in her hand, jumped onto the first platform that rotated along the central axis in front of her with a light movement, and said to the people behind her:
"This is what it looks like after the protective magic of the Tower of Destiny is activated. It is also a little joke Nelson gives to intruders. Don't worry about losing your footing and falling into the void. If you really fall, you will only be teleported outside the Tower of Destiny. < br>
As long as you keep going up, after passing 33 steps, you can reach the upper floor of the Tower of Destiny, which is also Nelson's library and meditation room.
He spent most of his time there. ”
"All of these great magicians have brain problems. They insist on making their magic towers so weird and gaudy."
Zha Kang curled his lips and jumped up to the steps in front of him after Xiao Zha. Mason also stepped on it, but when he touched the first step, he felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be a cold wind blowing around him.
Mason looked back and saw that everyone around him was gone.
"A decoy teleportation technique is so cunning!"
The hat whispered:
"He obviously knows we are coming, and he seems to have something to say to you alone. Be careful, Mason, you have been teleported to a secret space in the Tower of Destiny"
"Don't be afraid, intruder."
Before Hat finished speaking, a weak female voice sounded beside Mason. Mason, who was already on alert, turned around and shot him.
Golden lightning shot out from the replica Gun of Judgment, sending ripples through the magic shield beside him, but it did not penetrate the protection.
"I mean no harm! I just want to talk to you, Mason Cooper. I know you, and I want to warn you about something that is at stake for your life."
The voice explained again.
This time with a little anxiety, Mason looked up and found a weak woman lying in the corner of the dark place in front of him.
She seemed to have been seriously injured. She could only move her left hand, but she still held the seal to control the magic power to block Mason's attack.
Just this one hand proves that this lady is definitely a spellcaster with powerful magical attainments.
She was wearing a blood-stained robe, which looked like hermits' monastic attire. Judging from the solidified blood stains on her clothes, she must have been lying here for a long time.
"Are you Ms. Inza?"
Mason did not recognize this lady who was injured but still had a cold temperament. He held two war spears and summoned the phoenix for body protection. Then he cautiously stepped forward and asked:
"Xiao Zha said that you are Dr. Destiny's wife and assistant, your injury"
"Nelson did it."
Ms. Inza, who was lying on the bed, sighed and said hoarsely:
"Nelson was so deeply bewitched by Naboo that he could no longer turn back. I tried to help him take off the helmet, but you also saw my fate, but you cannot be his opponent in this Tower of Destiny.
Leave, don't waste your life. ”
"If only it were that simple, ma'am."
Mason explains:
"Doctor Fate, your husband has betrayed the world. In order to win the next war, we will have to do something that will make you sad."
"Then break that helmet."
Inza coughed and emphasized:
"But it can't be done by you, you have to leave! This is a trap they have prepared for you. They know that you will definitely notice something strange about Nelson.
They have confidence in you and they take advantage of your acumen.
That guy named ‘Warlock’ is determined to take care of you here.
I heard his conversation with Naboo. ”
"Huh?"
This news made Mason blink, and he asked:
"So I'm going to leave my companions and run away alone?"
"You can still save them if you leave them."
Inza advised:
"The Warlock knows that you will not give up on your teammates, and he will capture them as bargaining chips, but if you continue to stay...you! What are you doing? Come back!
Hear me out! ”
In front of her, Mason had already stood up and walked towards the exit of this secret space. He pushed Lao Wan's helmet on his head and said:
"I hate playing this hostage game with assholes, Ms. Inza, and it's so obvious that you want me to leave. You know I have a weapon that could kill your husband, and you don't want him dead." br>
Between the world and private life, did you choose the latter, or should I reward you with a bullet? ”
"You know it's a scam and you still go? I'm not lying about this!"
Ms. Inza said excitedly:
"Is getting rid of my traitorous husband so important to you that you are willing to risk death?"
"You really don't want Kent Nelson to die here. It's such a great and twisted love that turns even the wisest mage in the world into a fool."
Mason snorted and said:
"But this is a trap for me. Wouldn't it be rude of me not to go? Well, your beloved Nelson may survive, but you!
Ms. Inza, you have to do me a favor.
If you fail to fulfill this agreement, your lover will die. "(End of Chapter)
