Chapter 482 28. The proton torpedo must be thrown accurately into the hatch. Do you have a Star Destroyer Cannon? That’s okay【13】
(It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and readers are eager to read more.)
As an exploratory organization formed across countless parallel worlds, the Society of the Stars was able to run rampant in the Dark Ages even though its poor operating style and plunder-first strategy led to it not being as powerful as it should be most of the time. Seventeen years have indeed accumulated a pretty good foundation for them.
For example, at this time, the Grand Master Warlock ordered to be teleported to the "Battle Death Star" outside the orbit of the Gotham world.
This thing is a "deterrence-level" weapon of the Society of Stars, and the confidentiality level is naturally very high. Moreover, it has not been used a few times since it was created by the mad scientists from the Fox Nest. As a result, Mason, a B-level personnel, knows nothing about this thing. known.
Therefore, after receiving Ciri's cross-world warning call, Mason, who was directing the second-line heroes in Washington to capture the defeated Trail Blazers, rarely showed a confused look on his face.
"What the hell? Death Star?"
A rather terrifying thing immediately appeared in his mind. When he felt his scalp numb, he asked again:
"Are you talking about the super war fortress with a diameter of 160 kilometers, a carrying number of two million people, and the ability to shake celestial bodies and planets by its own gravity alone? It has 768 tractor beams and 15,000 turbolaser cannons. Its planet-level laser cannon only needs A terrifying thing that can penetrate stars with one shot?
There are still things of this level in the Star Club?
You should have told me earlier!
Once this thing comes out, what will we do? I pitched right at the beginning and avoided a beating. ”
Mason calmed down quickly after a brief shock.
He realized that he must have thought wrong.
If Warlock really had this thing under his command and could dispatch it in any world invasion war, the Society of Stars would not be just a pioneering organization.
So he rubbed his eyebrows and said to Shiri on the other side of the phone:
"The 'battle Death Star' you mentioned and the 'Death Star' I imagined are actually two different things, right?"
"Well, what you are talking about is the 'Decisive Weapon' of the Cleaner Legion. It is an ancient relic they dragged back from the Star Sea battlefield after the collapse of the Galactic Empire on a certain plane.
I heard that that thing was repaired by Fox Nest scientists and has been used as a training ground and operational base for the Conqueror sequence. ”
Ciri, who was in the Star Castle office, rolled her eyes and explained:
"The 'Combat Death Star' in Warlock's hands is a downgraded version. It only uses the weapon parts of the real Death Star and a fully-automatic mechanical space station structure. It was made by Fox Nest scientists ten years ago and distributed to the Stars Society. 'Experimental' weapons intended to be tested for destructive power in an impact event
Later, the researcher who led the project, M.O.D.O.K. 15, was executed for abusing resources, causing the operation itself to come to nothing. The experimental battle Death Star has remained in the Castle of Stars as a 'mascot' .
I also didn't expect Warlock to activate it at this time.
But don't worry, the diameter of this thing is only 30 kilometers, and its attack range will not affect the earth's environment by relying on its own gravity.
But the bad news is that it is equipped with a more dangerous neutron killing beam engine. ”
Xili looked at the parameters of the weapons placed in front of her and said with some sadness:
"I just found its instruction file. It says that when attacking a planet, this thing can lock on to fifty targets at once and kill twenty of them at a low energy level. Its power can clear out a whole city in an instant. All organic matter in large cities
The maximum energy level can clear an entire world of rebels in minutes while leaving buildings and valuable property intact.
When it is activated, it will cause a lot of optical pollution, and its manifestation is"
"A faint blue beam plume."
Mason looked back at the sky, and seven white rays that tore through the sky appeared in everyone's eyes like pillars stretching from heaven to earth.
There was no need for Ciri to read the weapon parameters on the document anymore, because one of the seven beams fired from space towards the earth hit the center of the city in front of Mason.
The moment the continuous neutron killing beam touched the surface, a large amount of gasified and decomposed organic matter, that is, walking humanoids, dissipated in the surging beam.
Those pioneers who were still standing in the center of the city stopped at this moment with their last screams.
The only good news is that such a death is painless, and the area where Mason is currently located is still a little away from the city center.
This means that he still has a few seconds to confess the past regrets in his life and the small sins hidden in his heart before he is engulfed by the destroying beam.
Or he can choose to activate the Speed Tail Ring in his hand and let himself run at the speed of light to complete the teleportation of everyone else in a few seconds.
As far as Mason knows, the strongest record of all the speedsters in saving this field is set by the third generation Flash Wally West.
That kid once saved 530,000 people in 0.00001 microseconds. Mason couldn't understand what speed that was, but the situation he was facing now was actually similar.
The only good thing is that the time left for him should be about 3 seconds, and there are only tens of thousands of people who need to be saved. But if he wants to accomplish this goal, Mason must try to exceed the speed of light for the first time.
"唰"
His figure disappeared from the spot.
Faced with the sudden disaster, everyone in the entire city of Washington, whether they were pioneers, rebels or even ordinary people, fell into sluggishness.
Only that beam of light kept running, accelerating and accelerating.
A few seconds passed quickly, and the blue plume finally engulfed the entire city of Washington.
Mason didn't know if he had broken through the speed of light, but the moment he dragged Catwoman and Erbang out of the neutron killing effect area thirty kilometers away from the city, the speed tail ring on his finger clicked. It shattered, and the remaining Speed Force energy exploded, throwing Mason away and hitting the ground hard.
His body was shattered by the violent kinetic energy, and the water body was reorganized in the next moment.
When he stood up, he was surrounded by thousands of people who he had just dragged out of the Oblivion Zone, including superheroes and scared pioneers.
The moment he stood up, Mason even had a hallucination.
He vaguely saw a skeleton wearing a black lightning suit emerging from the light and extending its zombie-like claws towards him.
When that thing was about to touch Mason, Professor McGonagall next to him let out a harsh hiss. His whole body arched like a cat in danger, and the Black Death Sword suit suddenly covered his whole body. Only then did the illusion of black lightning dissipate. Let Mason wake up.
He looked at the person next to him.
I saw the lost Catwoman and Ergong clenching his fists and roaring.
He searched in the crowd but couldn't find Zha Kang and Ivy. Zha and the Demon Knight were also missing. Less than a third of the superheroes he had summoned here before were saved by him. out.
The rest
"No!!!"
Shazam, who fell from the sky, looked at the dead city in front of him. The buildings were still intact but all the life in them had disappeared, causing the fifteen-year-old boy with magical power to roar like a beast in pain and despair.
Mason's body swayed.
Not only was he weak due to the impact of the Speed Force explosion, his face turned pale in an instant, because this was the first time he had truly lost his teammates and partners.
His worst fear finally happened.
He had promised not to make any of his fellow travelers a "price," but now he has broken his promise.
"Bang"
Mason fell to his knees, clasping the soil in front of his hands with his hands, veins stretching out on his fingers.
An unspeakable sense of frustration filled his heart. He should have made plans for this situation in advance. He should have provided more protection for his teammates instead of letting them come here without any protection.
He should work harder to repair the Speed Force armor captured from Savitar in advance, so that he could rescue more people in the last few seconds.
He made a mistake.
The silent city in front of them is the price of mistakes made in the war.
"Mason."
Catwoman endured the pain of losing her partner and stepped forward. She reached out and hugged the silent Mason on the ground, and patted his back gently.
As his original partner, no one understands Mason's persistence in this area better than her.
"You've done a good enough job, don't blame yourself so much."
She whispered, and was about to say more words to comfort Mason, but unexpectedly a voice that wanted to be beaten suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
"Hey, is this the old aunt who finally decided to give Batboy a super big cuckold because she couldn't hide her desire for fresh meat? I knew something would definitely happen if you two stayed together.
Look, I guessed it right, if I came out one second later."
"唰"
Mason and Catwoman looked up at the same time, and saw John Constantine appearing in front of them, blowing out a smoke ring and holding a frightened Zac in his arms.
Not only these two people, but in the air that is constantly "swaying" like water waves behind Zha Kang, Poison Ivy, Demon Knight, and those superheroes and pioneers who were not brought out by Mason are quickly appearing.
It was as if some magical covering magic was being removed, and dense crowds of people appeared in front of the silent crowd.
Zha Kang curled his lips and looked at the red-eyed Mason and the round-eyed Catwoman with a weird smile. He flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said in a long voice:
"Although it is really touching to see someone so sad if I die, but have my two idiot teammates forgotten one thing?
I have learned all the black and strange magic!
Although he may not be very proficient in it, wasn't the excellent life-saving and control magic of Mirror Dimension just prepared for that moment? ”
He grinned with a hearty smile and knelt down, handed a dirty handkerchief to Mason who was staring at him, and said warmly:
"I just saw you trying to drag these things out like a fool, so I was going to call you to stop you. In fact, there is no need for you to work so hard and end up being targeted by the 'Speed Force Traffic Police' Black Lightning because of your super-light speed. < br>
But it’s actually pretty cool to see you being silly every once in a while.
We're your teammates, Mason.
Just worry about other people, everyone in Team K is capable of taking care of themselves.”
Mason took the handkerchief from Zha Kang with an expressionless face, broke away from Catwoman's embrace, rushed forward, and punched Zha Kang in the eye socket. As the latter screamed, he rode on his waist and started shooting from left to right. hammer.
This was the first time that Mason had been truly frightened. The despair of losing his companions had outweighed the panic when he faced Black Strange.
"Stop fighting!"
Xiao Zha was saved by Zha Kang. Now he was hurriedly trying to pull Mason away, but Catwoman pulled him aside. Ergong took off his bucket helmet and threw it to the side. He rushed towards Zha Kang and kicked Zha Kang in the face. Go down.
This bastard!
This bad joke is really not funny!
"Stop!"
While the three little men in the team were playing a war game, Catwoman took the place of the captain and issued an ultimatum to the pioneers who had escaped and planned to sneak away.
Poison Ivy stood behind her, and the power of the green of all things unfolded silently, causing the weeds on the surrounding ground to grow wildly and turn into monsters like snakes, blocking the way of these guys.
"You should know now who your real enemy is."
Selina put her hands on her hips and shouted to the disgraced fellow pioneers in front of her:
"We don't ask you to defect to our side, but next time we treat you as dispensable cannon fodder because of the evil deeds of the warlocks, don't pray that we will show up to save you again!"
"Madam, although we are not good people, we remember the kindness of Team K."
The oldest B-class captain among the nearly 100 pioneers who had escaped the roundup and survived the annihilation beam stood up. This old man wearing a master sergeant's Spartan armor and carrying a ray rifle on his back stood up. He solemnly made a strange gesture on his chest.
He said hoarsely:
"No one can tell what will happen in the future, but at least in this war, we will definitely stay away from wherever Team K goes. We are not die-hard fans of the Warlocks, we were also forcibly recruited.
If given the choice, no one would want to get involved in the infighting between the three great mentors. ”
"This is not an internal fight between the three mentors. This is a duel between the K team and the warlock. The swordsman and the hunter are not the leaders, but Mason is! And you should know who will win, and clearly know which side to expect to win!"< br>
Catwoman snorted and said:
"Warlocks can't cover the sky with one hand, and they don't even have the chance to return to the Star Castle to give orders. You should also know that you have to earn your own life.
Forget it, get out!
Don't let me see you again. ”
She waved her hand like a royal sister, and Poison Ivy released a path. Under the gazes of the heroes of this world who shared the same hatred and were extremely disgusted, these pioneers could only leave in despair.
"Stop fighting! Think of a way!"
Zha Kang, who was beaten with a bruised nose and face, screamed:
"This time there are seven annihilation beams. Who knows how many there will be next time. Seven cities have already suffered. This kind of instant annihilation will cause terrible pressure on the ordinary people here. The warlocks are forcing them to surrender!
Damn it!
Rather than continuing to beat me, why don't you come up with an idea quickly? ”
"Of course I always have ideas."
Mason stood up unhappily and wiped the traces of dirt on his face, and glanced at the sky again. He kicked Zha Kang again angrily, then took out the communicator and said to the other end:
"Judy! Turn on the secret device X. Is the release position of the annihilation beam just locked?"
"At a synchronization point just outside the Earth's orbit, a target with a diameter of 30 kilometers is easy to target. It needs to be maintained at a specific location to maintain a precise attack on the surface.
It's moving over Gotham City!
The next target must be here, it will enter the effective range of the secret device X in five minutes! ”
The technological girl from the Afterlife Team quickly reported:
"I have activated the energy supply, but I doubt your skills! Mason, the thing you made can only fire two shots now. Are you sure that such a thing can really be used as a 'Star Destroyer Cannon'?"
"I'm sure that even though I just used it as a model at first, it was made by me after all, and no one knows its stability better than me."
Mason popped out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. Zha Kang, who had panda eyes punched out next to him, offered a flame to help Mason light it. The captain blew out a smoke ring and said to Judy:
"You can be responsible for firing the cannon, but for safety's sake, you'd better stay away."
"Hey, it feels more and more unreliable."
Judy complained and then hung up the communication. A five-minute launch countdown also appeared on Mason's watch.
Shazam came up and looked at the beating time curiously. He whispered:
"How are you going to kill that thing hanging over our heads? And I just heard that sister saying something like a 'Star Destroyer Cannon' to you. Do you really have such a thing in your hand?"
"唰"
Mason pulled out a BFG9000 from his bag and put it in his hand, and said to the curious Shazam:
"Look, this is an electromagnetic gun."
"I know, it's very powerful. I've seen you use this thing to wipe out Swamp Monster's tree army."
Shazam nodded vigorously but still didn't understand what the gun had to do with the topic he was discussing with Mason. Mason blew out a smoke ring and patiently explained to the little fool:
"The most amazing thing about this gun is that after being enlarged 1,000 times, it becomes a super star destroyer that has been tested in actual combat. Of course, with my current skills, I can't restore it like this, so I just used the Wayne Group's With the help of Yidian, a 1:500 model of Gotham Underground was created
It is definitely impossible to destroy a planet, but if the target is an armed space station with a diameter of only 30 kilometers within the ultimate range, it is basically guaranteed to penetrate the soul with one shot. ”
"Is it like this?"
The second-tier hero Atom, who was listening in rapt attention, asked:
"Then when did you start preparing for this awesome-sounding thing?"
"Hmm"
Mason thought for a while and said:
"Probably the night I got the blueprints for the BFG9000? After all, which craftsman can resist the temptation to make a Star Destroyer Cannon with his own hands?"
"Then was your act of hiding it underground in Gotham City intentional? Or was it a careful choice?"
Zha Kang said dissatisfied:
"You still do it secretly without telling us. Even your own people can't believe it, right?"
"It's really just a model that I use to please myself. I'm not prepared to bring it into actual combat one day. As for site selection, well, I admit that I'm taking a gamble."
Mason shrugged and said:
"But my bet was right. The magical Gotham will indeed encounter anything you can imagine, including being targeted by neutron killing cannons." (End of Chapter)
