Chapter 504 50. Son Mason, I have the advantage today, let’s see how you still run! 【Additional update 210】
"The Cosmic Tuning Fork is an artifact of origin that can interfere with the operation of planes and even the frequency of the entire universe. Do the Dark Knights actually have such a thing in their hands?"
The warlock in the Star Castle who had been paying attention to the battlefield clearly felt the blockade and expulsion of the plane from the cosmic tuning fork, which also made him instantly aware of Laughter's plan.
No wonder that disgusting guy didn't care at all about the huge reinforcements gathered by Mason and had no doubt about the victory of the invasion. With such an artifact in hand, anyone would be as confident as laughing.
This also made the warlock deeply aware of his ability to recognize people, so he recruited this guy as his adjutant early on.
Although he was also very angry about the rude remarks made by Laughter before, seeing that Mason, Team K and even the Transcendent A Grade world had lost their final ability to fight back, and were treated like cooked ducks when the Conquerors and Cleaners entered the scene. Put it on the plate, and the little unpleasantness will disappear in an instant.
Such a delicious dish, please serve it quickly, I can’t wait to taste it!
The warlock laughed and stood up from his meditation room.
At this moment, all the pressure and grievances he had in the past dissipated in an instant. The most dangerous rebels that had appeared since the birth of the Stars Association would be executed by him personally, and a resource-rich Transcendent A Grade world was enough for him to hope for. Supporters on the council are satisfied it will be a huge gamble that pays off handsomely.
In the past, similar Transcendent A Grade worlds would have taken several months just to conduct reconnaissance and invasion preparations. Even if the army of conquerors and liquidators was dispatched, it would not be possible to win in one or two wars. After all, it was judged to be a parallel world. The most valuable type of world in the system also has extremely strong resistance.
Even after the formal resistance is destroyed, those who remain will continue to fight until the entire world is eaten dry.
Rarely does an invasion of a Transcendent A Grade world go as smoothly as this one.
A successful battle!
The warlock snorted.
All the above considerations are actually not very important to him. They are all things that only those with vested interests will consider.
For him, a black-hearted pioneer who naturally has some idealistic feelings, what he cares more about is that after this battle, the long-divided stars will truly unite under his will.
The defeat of the Hunters and Swordsmen will mean that the hands of other forces interfering in the Association of Stars will be completely removed, and the entire exploration and development organization will become truly united and powerful.
Old A wanted to get the Stars Club because he realized that the pioneering organization, the Stars Club, had the initial right to allocate resources. Once it grasped this important node, it could "hold the emperor and order the princes" to complete the integration of the Hope Council.
What the black braised egg can see, the warlock can also see.
He has been deeply involved in this organization for seventeen years. He has been in this industry before the Stars Association was officially established. He knows the value of the Stars Association clearly.
He would not give this sweet and savory thing away to anyone else.
Not only those power leaders, he also has his own set of plans for the future.
The dark magic floating cloak slowly fell on his shoulders, the modified Eye of Agamotto was worn on his chest, the wand of Watum, filled with dark power like a black crystal, was picked up, and finally he reached out and gently touched Pinch, a green time gem appears in your hand and disappears between your fingers like magic.
He strode out of his meditation room.
In front of him, Lao Wang, who was infected by the power of darkness just like him, was waiting respectfully. There was a crimson evil mark on the latter's forehead, which was the mark from the Lord of Darkness, Dormammu.
But it was not given, but taken away.
As Mephisto's most trusted subordinate and the first chosen Grand Master, Warlock also gained unimaginable power during the process of Lord Destiny's promotion.
He no longer needs to kowtow to Dormammu, and even the dark dimension that once gave him such a headache has become a source of magic for him to take whatever he wants.
"The Black Guards are ready, Master."
Lao Wang said respectfully:
"With your will, we can set off at any time. The team of divine envoys are also waiting to accompany you. Those gods are eager to share your victory and send congratulations to the Lord of the Stars."
"That is not my wish, nor is it what I want, King."
The warlock shook his head.
He levitated and flew towards the area where the core of the World Gate projection was blocked by himself, and said calmly:
"My original intention has not changed. After seeing the impact of the apocalypse for the first time, I wanted to do something that I could do for this too old universe.
However, too many strategies and too many calculations have seriously interfered with my energy. Those insects who have mixed into this group with various purposes will only hold me back.
Only by clearing them all away can this organization return to its original purity and vigor.
We are not venturing through world after world to satisfy the gluttonous desires of those upper-level insects. Those precious resources should be used in places that really matter. ”
"That's what you said."
Although the Dark King is not a member of the Society of Stars, as the commander of the Warlock Guards and the person Warlock trusts most, he obviously does not think that Lord Warlock's speech at this time is humility or hypocrisy to cover up his desire for power.
Lord Warlock is a very complicated person.
But it is undeniable that he really hopes that the stars will develop better and better. There is no need to question this, otherwise he would not seal the overly ambitious Red Skull in his home world.
He doesn't ask about right or wrong, but he has his own persistence in his chosen career, and he is not discouraged even if he encounters failure. The character of this iron-headed boy alone is worthy of recognition, although his methods are indeed open to question.
Upon reaching the projection core of the World Gate, Warlock's Dark Guard are waiting.
It is not as exaggerated as the swordsman's demon army, nor as neat as the hunter's wild hunting red knight. There are hundreds of top spellcasters from different worlds gathered here, including many famous people.
Saruman the White, Merlin the Great Sage, Pandora unleashing disaster, Agatha Harkness, Baron Mordo, Loki the Prince of Lies, and even the Ancient One Mage from a certain B-level world.
It is simply a sequence of conquerors composed of spellcasters, but without exception, these have evil marks originating from the dark dimension on their foreheads.
It is no exaggeration to say that it would be easy for so many mages to concentrate their power and destroy a world.
But warlocks are very picky when choosing followers.
He not only values potential, but also values aspirations and ideals. More importantly, he must truly agree with the philosophy he insists on, that is, only a strong group can tide over difficulties together in times of crisis.
This idea is not wrong, but the path they chose is difficult for most people to understand.
The last A-level team that was not dispatched, the "God Envoy", was standing nearby. When the Warlock arrived, their captain, Moonlight Knight, bowed politely to the Warlock.
This means that the victorious Warlock seems to have gained the full support of the "gods" faction in the Council of Hope.
In fact, the reason why the resolution of this invasion was promoted so smoothly in the higher-level organization was the great efforts of these gods who had friendship with Mephisto.
They are potential allies.
"Everyone, let's go!"
The warlock waved his hand, and the World Gate projection core slowly opened a door into the world of Gotham. His cloak was flying and he was the first to step inside, followed by the spellcasters.
The place where the starlight scattered into the eyes was a ruins. The golden leaning tower of the cosmic tuning fork was at the end of the sight, and the sonic boom tunnels were smashed from high altitude as planned.
Each represents the arrival of a legion of Cleaners.
Unfortunately, the Warlock could not sense the laughter or the breath of the Dark Knights in this world. He could only see a few strange dragons escaping high in the sky in the lonely night.
"That disgusting sick lunatic is dead?"
The warlock blinked in surprise, then curled his lips, feeling that this was the best thing. It seems that the guy who always claimed that everything was in his plan finally got out of his element.
Good thing!
The troublesome helper died on the eve of victory, which meant that this imperfect victory seemed acceptable.
"Warlock, where are your servants?"
The witch Agatha, who was wearing a crimson robe, looked around and said in surprise:
"Didn't you give them orders to cooperate with the liquidators everywhere? I saw the liquidators just running around in the ruins without any guidance."
"Huh?"
The warlock frowned.
The three eyes under his hood blinked simultaneously.
wrong!
This is not right!
He had clearly notified the diehard loyalists of his own faction before to take advantage of the opportunity of the reinforcements being expelled from this world to respond. According to his plan, the neutral pioneers who were forcibly recruited here should have become his own by now. .
However, let alone the B-level team, even the C-level cannon fodder who had been recruited were missing. There was not a single member of the Stars Association within the sensing range.
"Buzz"
The warlock released the communication magic and found his loyal servant, the Goblin Slayer who had previously persuaded the B-class team to take the opportunity to counterattack. The latter appeared in the projection of the communication magic but was still restrained in mid-air by the beating lightning and could not break free.
"What the hell is going on?"
he questioned.
The latter replied intermittently:
"It's Shazam! That old bastard messed up the situation. He set up a 'neutral zone' in Khandak and called on all members who were no longer willing to contribute to this invasion war to take refuge.
Except for those companions who were killed in the initial war, most of the others who survived chose to wait and see.
Those weak C-class members were on his side from the beginning, and the insects of the swordsman faction were also adding fuel to the fire and shouting.
Sir! We were viciously stabbed in the back at this evil hour. How could we possibly do a good job with the Society of the Stars with such bastards?
You must punish him severely! ”
"Waste!"
The warlock's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that something seemed to be going a little awry.
After scolding his incompetent subordinates, he immediately contacted other A-class members who were still in this world. "Fear" was still there but there was no response, "Pharaoh" and "End" were dead, and "Master" was defeated and imprisoned. Will be asking for help.
The only thing that brings good news to Warlock is Devour.
"I have taken control of the secret power of the Sky Eye Society, my lord."
The devouring gloomy voice responded to the warlock in the magic communication:
"The Cadmus Project has produced clones of every superhero and super villain, including the world's major villain organization, the Legion of Doom, which is already under my control.
All I need from you is your order, and I can immediately take them to lead the way for the king! ”
"Very good."
The warlock nodded and said:
"Then let's get started, use the resources of the Sky Eye Society to support the subsequent liquidators and conquerors, and complete the occupation of important places around the world as quickly as possible."
After he finished speaking, he turned back and gestured to the Angel Team. The Moonlight Knight immediately took his team members and a dozen spellcasters from the Warlock Guard to the Rock of Eternity in this world.
That is the place where the magic of the world gathers. Occupying it means that the magic of the entire world will be used by them.
Warlock already felt that something seemed to have gone wrong, but looking at the legion of cleansers and powerful conquerors arriving in the world in front of him, the uneasiness in his heart slowly dissipated.
With such a huge power here, this world cannot make any splash. Even if Mason Cooper calls back reinforcements from all worlds, he will be unable to save the day.
"What the hell are these lunatics from your Association of Stars doing!"
Just when he thought that the overall situation was decided and the advantage was mine, the commander of the fourth order of conquerors, the commander nicknamed "The Hero", sent his own "Claw" Richard Grayson to question him.
This villain, who was dressed very similar to the young master, but his style was even worse than Er Tong, scolded in a cold voice:
"Why are we being blocked in the no-man's land of the target world, and the blockers are the A-level teams personally commanded by the Grand Instructor of Exploration Hunter and the Grand Instructor of Combat Swordsman!
That blockage that shouldn't exist delayed the Cleaner's attack for a full thirty-five minutes! As a result, we lost nearly a hundred conquerors and five large legions of liquidators!
You must be held responsible for this undue loss! ”
"What?"
When the warlock heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue. He immediately realized what the problem was.
If the Liquidator Corps arrived at this time after being blocked by the opponent, does it mean that Mason Cooper and his two asshole collaborators had secretly completed the arrangement of something before he noticed it?
And that cosmic tuning fork.
The warlock looked at the golden leaning tower in the distance. It was clear that invisible forces were still spreading and suppressing the time and space of this plane.
Is this a trap?
"Master! The door to the world cannot be opened!"
The Dark King came to report a bad news, which made the warlock immediately narrow his eyes. Just when he was about to issue a new order, a silver rift opened in front of him, and a black space torn apart and erupted behind him.
The next moment, the hunter and the swordsman appeared in front of the warlock with murderous intent and scars from the battle, along with their five A-level pioneer teams.
"You won't forget that we are also great mentors, right? Warlock, you can seal the door to the world, and we can do the same."
Xi Li expressionlessly raised the Sword of the Lake Girl in his hand. Due to excessive killing, this artifact had already bloomed into a brilliant blade shaped by golden light.
"Finally, you, a coward, walked into the trap prepared for you, Strange!"
The swordsman behind him shouted even more unceremoniously:
"Remember what I said to you last time? Let you wash your neck. What you have done to my people in the past seventeen years, I will repay you double in the next seventeen minutes! ”
"Okay, okay."
The Warlock was not surprised by this. He opened his stance and faced the enemy with the caster guards beside him. The three eyes under the hood were flashing with strange light.
He said:
"I just didn't know you had such a big appetite. I'm curious, how could Mason eat so many liquidators and conquerors in his own world?
If he really had this kind of power, he would have shown it long ago. You are just bluffing.”
"Whoosh"
A ray of golden light slid down from high altitude, and hit the army of liquidators in Gotham City below with a terrifying sonic boom.
The bombardment of falling to the ground flattened the surrounding area in an instant. As the warlock watched with wide eyes, a strange golden mechanical body slowly rose from the pit where it landed in the posture of a Terminator.
It has no face or facial features, just a smooth metal body and a pair of gray eyes.
Facing the attacker, the war thunder god in the conqueror sequence roared and threw his war hammer to destroy it, but after the latter withstand the bombardment of the thunder hammer with his body, a lightning emblem appeared on his chest.
The next moment, it raised its hand, and thunder that was exactly like the God of Thunder flew from its five fingers, knocking the God of War away.
"Amazo?"
The warlock shouted out this guy's name, and then was interrupted by a sword light.
Xili stepped forward, and when the Lake Lady's sword pierced her, she corrected her in a cold voice:
"No, it's the Super Golden Amazo, the last surprise left by the Batman of this world to the invaders. Do you still have twenty-two legions of Cleaners and two and a half Conqueror sequences?
Too little, and you have to give it more to hit it!
But this has nothing to do with you, Warlock, your most important and only official duty today is to take this beating and be prepared to die here." (End of Chapter)
