Chapter 478 24. Mason Cooper, welcome to the top of the food chain
"Mason! Can you hear me?"
Just after finishing the conversation with his master about the Last Knight, Mason's flip phone in his pocket began to vibrate. When he answered the call, he heard Ciri warning on the other end:
"I have some bad news for you. I just read the records of the Destiny Machine.
The Warlock used the source of the zombie virus's storage a few days ago, and the weapons containing the virus were distributed to several development teams. The Swordsman was confirming the whereabouts of the virus weapons.
But the good news is that the transfer door promised by Old A is already on my side. You should prepare early and notify me immediately if the situation changes. ”
"Where is the Warlock himself?"
Mason was not surprised by the bad news. He lit a cigarette and asked:
"Has he left for the battlefield?"
"He is still in Star Castle, I am monitoring him."
The hunter replied:
"He knows that as long as he appears in your world, he will be attacked by me and the swordsman. This guy's idea should be to let the war situation get out of control first, and then make a final decision.
The entry of 100 B-level teams and nearly a thousand C-level teams, totaling tens of thousands of pioneers, will plunge your world into chaos in a short period of time. The only goal they are given is to use various means to make your The world surrenders, but it shouldn't be that easy.
I guess Warlock will then use Cleaner.
Except for the die-hard Warlock, the other teams' fighting will is not so firm.
You should know very well who the members of the Stars Club are. They are cunning and greedy and will not have much action before the situation becomes clear. Considering the dangers of the Transcendent A Grade world, most people will not enter the battlefield before they enter the battlefield. In the end, they will all choose to fish without working hard.
Moreover, the warlock has recruited many teams belonging to the swordsman faction to join the war this time, with the purpose of using your hands to complete a major cleanup within the Stars Association.
I admit that this method is vicious, but it also means that those guys have resistance in their hearts. My suggestion is to pick a few places to give them some color. A head-on attack of sufficient weight may be able to slow down the offensive.
But be careful yourself, I suspect the Warlock may use some extraneous power.
For example, the Ghost Knights are also under his command in this kind of invasion event led by the stars, and the World Gate projection core of the Star Castle is being shut down.
He is determined to turn your place into a cruel fighting arena. ”
Shirley paused and said to Mason:
"Besides, you have to hurry up!
Once the countries around the world representing the main body of civilization officially choose to surrender, this pioneering war will be over in name. When the liquidators get a reasonable request to take over, the situation will be worse. ”
"Mason! Look at this!"
Zombie Wanda shouted after Mason.
The captain turned around and saw Scarlet Witch holding a retro TV set picked up from the ruins of the Tower of Destiny. A live broadcast from the White House was playing on the screen.
The president who always seems to be unable to wake up is announcing to the people that they have reached a mutual aid agreement with "Friends among the Stars". This country will withdraw from the war and requires all superheroes and resistance groups in North America to lay down their weapons and welcome "peace". ".
Amanda Waller stood next to the white-haired president on the screen with an expressionless face. This may be an important reason why the warlock chose the Sky Eye Society as his messenger.
Next to Amanda Waller were "representatives" from the Society of the Stars.
It was an indifferent man wearing a black suit, with an ordinary face but cold eyes, as if he didn't care about anything.
"That's the A-class member 'Swallow'."
Mason transferred the screen to the hunter through the communicator and confirmed the man's identity. She said to Mason:
"As the Grand Master, the Warlock is well versed in the process of conquest wars. He uses this little trick to gain an advantage and create pressure on you, but there is still time.
What are you doing ”
While Shirley was speaking, she saw Mason pouting his lips and taking out a mechanical switch and pressing it. Then he cursed in a low voice and pressed the switch four times as if he was upset.
She asked in surprise, Mason threw away the switch and said casually:
"The Justice League's assembly order was given to me by Batman before. I assigned all the superheroes who are still able to act there. Don't they want to create a 'model of peace'?
Then I will respond to this strategic threat with practical actions.
This chaotic country and that brain-dead bastard cannot represent the main body of civilization in this world, and the peace agreement that the awakened people deceive themselves is meaningless.
Stay calm, Shirley, and wait for my news. ”
After speaking, Mason hung up the communication, gestured to Professor McGonagall beside him, and said:
"Open a portal and go over there. Let's go meet the A-class member, kill Amanda Waller, and show those 'awakeners' what happened to the capitulationists."
——
Although the President issued a global "peace initiative" twenty minutes after the invasion began under the "suggestion" of the Eyes of the Sky, it is obvious that not everyone is willing to shake hands with this group of extraterritorial invaders.
Called by Mason in the name of Batman, a large number of rebels quickly arrived in Washington and started a battle with the pioneers of the Star Society.
The Warlock side regards this first surrendered city as a forward fortress. More than ten B-level teams and nearly a hundred C-level teams are arranged here.
These die-hards fortified the city in a short period of time. When Mason walked out of the portal, he saw a red tornado sweeping across the defense lines on the chaotic streets in front of him.
That's Red Tornado, a member of the Justice League, and he's a pretty powerful guy.
There is also a female warrior with wings and the symbol of an eagle in the sky attacking the pioneer's aircraft.
This woman was extremely brave, and those low-level pioneers were easily knocked down from the air by her hammer. This should be the Senegal warrior Hawkwoman who was mentioned by Uncle Jon of Martian Manhunter before and accidentally strayed to the earth.
These two are the pioneers of the air assault. On the ground, there are also Atom, Colossus, Starfire and members of the Green Arrow family fighting with a group of street heroes. They resisted extremely bravely but were outnumbered. The people in the watchtower before The fall left many members of the Justice League trapped on the Osborn Tower, and they would not be able to return for a while.
Faced with the siege of the hounds of the Star Society, the Star Chaser relied on the Star Chaser to wave her star staff and shoot out energy beams regardless of consumption to clear the dead top.
Surprisingly, Mason actually discovered Xiao Qiao here.
"唰"
He regrouped through water and appeared on a burning high-rise building. When Xiao Qiao was chased by a griffon and flew through the air, he released the Scarlet Witch to tear the griffin and the low-level pioneers behind it into pieces. He also told Professor McGonagall to use Apparition. Shadow grabbed Superboy's arm and pulled him to safety.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you go meet Damian?"
Mason asked, Xiao Qiao curled his lips and said:
"I'm here to save my mother! I reported it to that annoying boy.
My mother heard that the president wanted to shake hands with the hunting dogs of the Club of Stars, so she came to report on the frontline news. She was trapped. I couldn't contact my father, so I had to come on my own. ”
"The reporter man is so fierce. He dares to go to the front line in such a situation."
Mason was immediately shocked by Ms. Louise Lane's dedication to her career, but he obviously did not agree with Xiao Qiao's behavior at this time. This Kryptonian boy was not very skilled in power, and it was very difficult for him to survive such a high-intensity confrontation. It's hard to really make a difference.
"You take Louise and retreat to Metropolis!"
He said to Xiao Qiao:
"Damian and his Young K Team are all there. You go join them and accept Batman's command. Don't worry, your dad and aunt will come back soon with reinforcements. That's when the real counterattack will begin. .”
"Oh."
Xiao Qiao is an obedient child. He did not refute but still asked worriedly:
"These hunting dogs are causing trouble all over the world. They have detonated several nuclear power plants. I heard from my mother that there has been a blackout in Europe.
We
It's not that I don't believe you, but can we really win? ”
Faced with Xiao Qiao's inquiry, Mason did not answer but used the communicator to shout to the other end:
"Zha Kang! Where are you and your friends? I have arrived in Washington. The situation here is hot and I need some illegal spells!"
"Positioning also takes time, so why rush!"
Zha Kang replied angrily:
"Isn't this coming?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge flashing golden arc lit up in the air, just like the classic scene when the Supreme Mage cast teleportation.
Thunderbolts converged on a red figure and flashed out of it. The moment Shazam, holding the refined version of Thor's Hammer, flew into the battlefield, there was a thunderstorm, and hundreds of thunderlights swept across and cleared the sky. of low-level pioneers.
Demon Knight Etrigen followed closely behind. He fell from the sky in his demon form. When he hit the ground, he took a deep breath and sprayed out rolling fire, burning the whole street into a sea of fire. He grabbed the X metal halberd and roared towards him. The enemy, the C-class members who were sent to the front were crying for their fathers and mothers.
This is the true fighting power of low-level members of the Stars Association.
I can’t say it’s a dish, I can only say it’s better than nothing.
According to Mason's understanding of his peers, even a well-equipped and well-integrated B-level team is at an absolute disadvantage when facing powerful heroes like Etrigan and Shazam alone.
Just like the original Six-Headed Snake Team, they were also a veteran B-class team, but not to mention confronting Super Chao head-on, they were also beaten miserably against Batman.
The pioneers can certainly use conspiracy or flexible tactics to deceive the enemy on other occasions, but on the current frontal battlefield, once powerful heroes are allowed to exert their destructive power, the hunting dogs will only have to run away. share.
After all, these villains and scumbags recruited from various worlds do not have the strong will and noble dedication to sacrifice everything for the warlock's ambition of conquest.
Without the support of will, let alone explosive seeds, it is a luxury to be able to exert the power that should be in a critical situation.
The A-level team may be the real tough guy, but the entire Stars Association can only make up twelve A-level teams, and half of them are from Mason's side. Overall, the situation is still controllable despite the chaos!
Seeing Zha Kang riding a zombie flying dragon wearing a cloak of destiny, and majestically throwing various magic bombs downwards from high altitude with Xiao Zha, Mason moved his shoulders comfortably and glanced at the side. Xiao Qiao pointed at the chaotic position below and said:
"Any questions now?"
"Uh, I thought all the Stellar Hounds were as powerful as Black Adam and Swamp Thing."
Xiao Qiao grinned, gave Mason a thumbs up and said:
"They just rely on their numbers. Once they see their cowardly nature, they don't need to be afraid of them."
"No one should be afraid of them. They are just a group of hunting dogs who are fighting for no reason and only know how to chase bones. Are you afraid of dogs?"
Mason gestured to Xiao Qiao and said:
"It's time for you to go. The Young K Team also has their missions. If you want to join, just cooperate with Damiando. I'm going to get busy.
Bless me. ”
After saying that, Mason jumped down from the burning high-rise building, and after several flashes of water, he approached the goal of his trip. In front of the white building protected by mysterious troops wearing the uniforms of the Sky Eye Society, Mason's The figure appeared from in front of the fountain. With a wave of his left hand, the coral steel death trident he had snatched from the drowned soul fell into his hand.
This thing was modified by Bruce Wayne using the Neptune Trident of her world. It no longer has the ability to affect natural water bodies and climate, but it has an additional power called "dead water", which she used to The power of the water ability that binds Mason.
This power fell into the hands of Mason, who could already manipulate water bodies and evolved into more destructive techniques.
"Back off!"
When the members of the Sky Eye Society in front saw Mason appearing in front of them across the chaotic battlefield, they launched an attack after a few simple scoldings.
A large number of bullets and explosives were thrown at him, but it was meaningless to Waterman. He walked forward quickly and suddenly disappeared, then reappeared in the crowd.
There wasn't enough water for Mason to reorganize.
But it doesn’t matter, blood will do too
At the same time as he appeared, the bodies of several members of the Sky Eye Society around him twitched and exploded.
The capillaries all over his body were burst by the countercurrent of blood in an instant. The flying blood did not fall to the ground, but continuously rotated around Mason and was thrown forward by him during the three-state transformation of the water body.
The cold wind howled and ice surged.
The coquettish blood-colored ice bloomed where it landed, freezing several people in front of him like the spreading ice wind.
Mutants' abilities require constant practice to grow, and now with the enhancement of the Dead Water Trident, Mason's water control ability has finally entered the next stage, from a support to a point where it can be used as a real weapon.
But his progress towards the white building was forced to stop after a few seconds. On the grass in front of him, the cold-faced man in a black suit was standing in front of him with his hands in his pockets.
Mason stretched out his left hand to extract the water from the man's body, but after trying, he found that the water in the man's body did not move at all. The latter's body was like a black hole, easily swallowing up all the energy that came close to him.
It is also like a black flag standing on the ground, gathering the cold dark clouds and scattering their shadows under the feet to form an invisible wall.
"Leave!"
He looked at Mason with cold gray eyes and said briefly:
"My mission is here, don't go any further!"
"What a coincidence, my target is also here."
With a twist of his wrist, Mason's backwater trident buzzed, and he said:
"Get away! 'Swallow'."
"Buzz"
When he took the first step forward, the soil under his feet suddenly vibrated and pierced with three black spikes, just like the special claws of some kind of beast piercing Mason's body quickly and quickly.
The moment the water body reorganized, Mason raised the trident and blocked it in front of him. The man in black appeared in front of him like a flash of light. With his arms sweeping across, Mason was easily suppressed.
The moment the two people's eyes met, Mason saw that the cold gray eyes were flashing with an unknown scarlet, and the latter's ordinary appearance was distorted into the face of a young man wearing a hood and casual clothes.
That is his most common form, and perhaps the form this monster once had.
"I warned you, Mason, you insisted on setting foot in it. If this is the end, then I will say sorry to you."
He whispered:
"Now, welcome to the top of the food chain" (End of Chapter)
