Chapter 508 54. The crime is love, the punishment is death [Additional update 610]
Mason's K Corps currently has five teams.
The main team is the first team, the second team of teenagers, the third team of the Black Glove Deathstroke Legion, the fourth team of zombies, and finally the servant army led by Jack's trio.
They all proved their worth in this world invasion, and it was precisely because of the cooperation of the four teams that the war was pushed to the final stage.
Of course, Mason is not a show-off guy.
He also had an in-depth study of the sense of ritual, so he decided from the beginning to use his last hidden strength to draw the final words to this invasion war that had a decided outcome.
He calls it the "Ultimate K-Squad."
Of course, this is only a nominal title and it is only the name given by Mason himself. After all, the three members of this team are not theoretically members of the Society of Stars.
The mere Star Club really cannot tolerate these three gods.
At this time, in the world outside the mirror dimension, the cleansers and conquerors in North America have been divided into two. One part accepted the unshakable massacre of the golden sub-modra on the surface, and the other part was deceived by "devouring" Brother A. There was no movement as soon as they entered the secret base of the Sky Eye Society. It was like a black hole and a steady stream of people continued to be swallowed into it.
Under the command of the master, the tired Xiao Shan has once again opened the space-time teleportation of the cosmic treadmill, bringing the reinforcements from the other four worlds that were previously expelled into this world.
Like the second half after halftime.
Being able to fight against the real Legion of Cleaners also allowed the heroes from other worlds to show their true skills to face the enemy.
But even so, the rate of defeat of these invaders here still could not keep up with their rate of destruction in Europe, although only one reinforcement appeared there.
Perfect Ultron!
This silver-gray tall robot holds a mechanical dragon gun twisted out of the reality gem. With the blessing of the six-gem system on its chest, it looks like the arrival of a true god.
Wherever it goes, it not only annihilates the liquidator barbarians, but also uses the reversal of time stones to restore the destroyed cities to their previous state. Infinity stones appearing in sets are obviously more powerful than a single raw stone, even in an alien plane. It can also produce miraculous effects.
And the expedition of Ultimate K Team was also very effective.
Along with the perfect Ultron, there was also an army of Brainiac whose parameters had been reset. These powerful mechanical bodies swept through the extremely savage liquidators under the command of Ultron, and those difficult conquerors Then he was captured by Ultron himself.
Not direct killing.
Probably because Perfect Ultron has been curious about human nature recently, it really wants to use these guys as observation samples to investigate whether the impact of the impending doomsday environment on individual lives is irreversible?
This is a very ambitious research topic and naturally requires many samples.
To be able to create such an observation project, there is no doubt that the influence of the big bald Frog Tu on Perfect Ultron has already appeared. Speaking of Frog Tu, the observer who was dismissed and expelled seemed to be getting more and more flying after the distraction of an expedition. Self.
He is currently wearing a set of shining silver battle armor and is driving an unparalleled vehicle to overwhelm sweepers in the Middle East and South America at the same time. He can be described as an "invincible frog with an iron fist and a bald head."
The reason why it was so violent was probably because Frog Tu had seen all kinds of bad things these guys did to the Dark Stars when he was an observer before.
The destruction of the world, the extinction of civilization, theft of resources, and the inhumane transformation of captives have already made Frog Tu full of disgust for these interstellar locusts.
In the past, due to my responsibilities, I could only pretend I didn't see it.
But now.
I’ve lost my job, so I don’t need to endure it anymore! Today I will let you idiots see what extraordinary combat power is!
Come on, fight until it hurts!
The actions of the two bosses were naturally extraordinary. The damage speed of the liquidators had exceeded the record of looting and conquest in the past seventeen years, and it also made the hidden forces who were peeking at the battlefield feel terrified.
For example, a certain braised egg.
He always felt that although Old K was rebellious, he was still under his control, but at present, it seemed that he was still in control! Everyone has found a new big daddy for themselves, and there are still three of them!
This hidden power, let alone overthrowing the Council of Stars, already has enough high-end power even if Mason wants to start a new business now. Even though he had been trying his best to increase Mason's importance in his eyes, he found that he still underestimated him.
This is already too big to lose.
Thinking of Mason's ideas that were completely different from Quint's, and what he had said in his previous meeting, Old A suddenly had a headache.
Well, it seems that it is necessary to put those things that I have been thinking about some time ago on the agenda.
Old A, who was sitting upright in his office, took out his soul gem that never left his body. The indelible blood stain on its upper edge made him squint his eyes.
Mason's super aggressiveness and his persistence in the past are a terrible risk. This guy's potential is undoubtedly the strongest among all the people he has seen.
It would be best if we could live in peace.
But if that doesn't work, then it's necessary for him to take the initiative.
——
"A sneeze!"
In the mirror dimension, Mason, who was bandaging the swordsman's wound, suddenly sneezed, causing the hunter sitting next to him to rest and look at him in surprise.
"It's okay, it seems like someone is talking about me behind my back."
Mason curled his lips and continued to help the swordsman suture the wound, but even during the emergency surgery, the swordsman Liana kept turning her eyes away, looking over Mason's shoulder to the other side.
It's not just her.
Everyone present except Mason was looking over there.
The three-eyed warlock who was killed by Mason has been resurrected under the influence of the time stone, but the parasite of the Black Death Sword is still in effect, preventing him from regaining the power of the dark dimension.
What's even worse is that a more terrifying guy is hanging in front of him.
Hei Qiqi stared blankly at the guy below who looked exactly like him. His Soul King cloak was flying behind him, and there was a floating book beside him.
But that's not a magic book, it's just a diary that Hei Qiqi never leaves.
He was examining Stephen Strange in front of him. Although he didn't say a word, the gaze that penetrated his soul made the three-eyed warlock feel like he was mourning.
He didn't dare to make any move.
He could feel that the time and space alien in front of him was someone who could compete with the current Mephisto.
As the great mentor of the Society of Stars, he has conducted in-depth research on space-time aliens, but he has never thought that there is a Supreme Mage more powerful than himself in the parallel world system.
Why had I never heard of such a prominent figure before?
And Mason!
You have this level of fucking power behind you, and you still show weakness! Do you have to trick us unlucky ghosts who don’t know the truth into being tricked and killed?
If you generously invite Heiqi Qi to your world to take charge, let alone the meeting of stars, I hope the council will also send a special envoy to invite him to join!
This war should never have happened.
Unless the relationship between the dark Doctor Strange and Mason is not as good as it seems on the surface, maybe the two sides only have a weak cooperative relationship?
If so, he would have a chance to draw this strong man into his own camp.
It's just lip evasion. This is the core skill that every conspirator must master!
"Say something."
Hei Qiqi raised his finger, interrupting the three-eyed warlock's chaotic thoughts. He spoke in his signature sinister tone:
"Introduce yourself."
"I am you. There is nothing to say. There are countless Doctor Strange in countless worlds, but our stories and lives are all very similar.
Even if there is a difference, it is only in the details. ”
The three-eyed warlock is also a person who has seen the world. When he saw that Mason and others had retreated to the edge, he realized that his outcome today depended entirely on the time and space alien in front of him.
He said seriously:
"Our lives diverged at a certain point, probably because I realized the truth of the impact incident. I think this is what you want to hear.
About my choices, about why I took this path. ”
He observed Hei Qiqi's face. The latter was a little thinner than him, and there was no obvious change in his more evil and charming face, but it did not stop him from talking.
So the three-eyed warlock coughed, and in the shining light of the time stone on his chest, he said:
"The truth is not what they said. I betrayed my world. It's not like that! The abandonment of my hometown was just an accident caused by the Red Skull's own initiative when executing the plan. There was no nuclear war in our original plan. .
We had wanted to use my homeworld as a model for collaboration between the Constellations and the Council of Hope, as a demonstration of our exploration of the future of worlds in the Dark Ages. ”
"Hey, that's nice to say!"
The White Queen pouted, but Black Bolt reached out to stop her.
For those who have lost their hometown, figuring out the reason why Doctor Strange, who was once a member of the Illuminati, suddenly rebelled is also an explanation of their lost hometown.
Even the old wolf had a cigarette in his mouth now, wanting to hear the thoughts of this three-eyed warlock.
But Mason didn't care.
Although this matter was closely related to his birth, for him, helping the swordsman deal with the wound on his waist seemed to be more important than hearing the three-eyed warlock's confession.
This attitude made Ciri, who had been observing him, raise an eyebrow.
Lord Hunter keenly felt that Mason's dislike of warlocks stemmed more from his resistance to the Society of Stars, and the tragedy of his hometown did not account for as much of it as other people who had lost their homes.
He even didn't seem to care at all why the warlock rebelled back then, just like an outsider completing his own side mission.
"I was the first person in my hometown to predict the end of the world. While others were still immersed in enjoying peace and tranquility, I had already begun to think about future survival.
I looked through the tomes in Kama Taj and the Holy of Holies, but the wisdom left by the Supreme Masters of the past generations could not help me.
So I looked outside. ”
The three-eyed warlock whispered:
"There are countless lords and beings in countless planes in the magic world, but they are all short-sighted. The only one who can speak a common language with me is Mephisto.
The devil lord who once aspired to control hell is aware of the crisis just like me. He knows that he is weak in the impact. He doesn't want to die, and he is also looking for a way.
We hit it off immediately.
Mephisto has an advantage that I don't have. It possesses the power of hell and can communicate with itself in other planes. It took it a long time to complete this connection and unity with itself.
They formed something called the Mephisto Network, which was the prototype of the Society of Stars.
Only when more wisdom is gathered together can we have a chance of survival in the face of impact. Countless Mephistos are strong and weak, but they all have dark and evil wisdom. They finally discussed a plan. ”
At this point, the warlock paused.
He glanced at his more powerful space-time alien body and asked:
"Are you 'detached'?"
Heiqi shook his head.
The three-eyed warlock laughed and said:
"I guess you don't either, otherwise you wouldn't have to cooperate with guys like Mason. Although you are powerful, you are also trapped in the dying situation of the universe.
You also hope to survive. Like all spirits in the world, no one will willingly give up their life.
But as long as you reach transcendence, your existence does not have to rely on the material world as the basis, you will finally become the only one, and you will be able to obtain the 'ticket' that can enter the transformation of the universe, which is enough to observe this event covering countless worlds from the perspective of a bystander. disaster.
That is the privilege given by power!
That is also the method proposed by Mephisto to survive the doomsday, and is the source of the existence of the Society of Stars. We do cooperate with the Council of Hope, but our ultimate goal is different from theirs.
Just like Brainiac and others also have their own transcendence plan, we collect divine power to support Mephisto, making him stronger and stronger, getting closer and closer to the limit.
We need to create our own God!
This way you no longer have to grovel to the doomsday brought about by a weakened universe! ”
The warlock opened his arms and shouted extremely enthusiastically:
"As long as Mephisto can cross that line, as long as Lord Destiny can escape from the established destiny, he will have enough power to protect the remaining world.
We have planted the seeds of divinity in all the worlds surveyed and developed by the Constellation!
These worlds will journey through eternity with Mephisto, and all who bear the tattoo will bask in his glory, and we will survive the next era!
He is one and ten thousand.
He becomes the core that connects everything, and will also become the new god who leads us to the next era!
I was never crazy, I was never imagining, and I was never betrayed! I know this method is feasible, I am just using my own way to save this dying universe.
And you!
You are wasting our little time! ”
"Enough!"
Mason, who didn't look back, couldn't listen anymore. He stood up suddenly, looked back at the fanatical three-eyed warlock, and asked:
"So in your system, do we, including you, have the right to say 'no' to Mephisto? What he needs is not a collaborator at all, Strange.
What he needs is a slave, a slave like you who is willing to sacrifice himself for a dark future!
I just hated you before.
Now I pity you, you fool! You haven't even figured out what His Excellency Hei Qiqi really wants to hear! You don’t understand the reason why he cooperated with me at all.
There is always something beyond these meanings of existence and death. ”
"Huh?"
The three-eyed warlock raised his head in astonishment and looked at Hei Qiqi, who was still expressionless. There was obvious impatience in the latter's eyes, but the warlock, who was immersed in self-explanation, did not notice this.
What he just said was wonderful. As an answer, it was not perfect but it was definitely qualified.
The only problem is, the answer is wrong.
"On your so-called great journey, your Christine"
In the complete silence, Heiqi asked in a dumb voice:
"Is she still alive?"
"Christine? Who is that"
The warlock was confused by this question.
He didn't realize for a moment who "Kristen" Hei Qiqi was talking about. It wasn't until a few seconds later that a woman who had been forgotten so long that even her face and image could not be recalled jumped into his mind.
This question made the warlock laugh and cry, but it also made him realize that he was finished.
"It seems that you gave up on her for your so-called great ideals. You killed your love with your own hands. Even after you became the Supreme Mage, she was still by your side.
It really makes me jealous. ”
Black Strange slowly fell from the air. The moment his feet touched the ground, an invisible fear instantly strangled the three-eyed warlock's heart.
He shivered back like a sheep after seeing a tiger. The Time Stone tried its best to protect it, but Hei Qiyi casually pinched it and threw it backwards, landing accurately in Mason's hand.
The captain immediately bowed 90° and thanked the boss for the time gem.
"You had it all, and you threw it all away for a terrible plan."
Hei Qiqi put his hand on the warlock's shoulder and whispered:
"What a pity, wrong answer."
"No, Mephisto, no! Help me!"
The warlock screamed and begged for his life.
He was not stingy with his most loyal servant, Lord Destiny. A powerful force came from the connection point of the planes to save the warlock, but Black Strange just shook his cloak and dispersed the power in the collision of the Soul King's cloak. open.
Mephisto is strong.
But it's a pity that a sleeping god cannot stop what he is about to accomplish. It is a punishment in the name of love. After all, in my life, I hate to see such a fool who gives up love for a great goal.
"Say goodbye to everything you are familiar with, and may your Christine still be waiting for you in the hell of your hometown."
Hei Qiqi said softly.
Then his eyes and mouth glowed with red light.
That was the sign that the Devouring Secret Technique was activated. A stream of light flashed in front of everyone's eyes. The warlock only had time to let out a short roar before the mirror dimension he had laid shattered.
As Zha Kang and others from the outside looked at each other in disbelief, Hei Qiqi let go of his hand, and only a blood-stained magic floating cloak and the crushed Eye of Agamotto fell to the ground.
The sorcerer died, his body was gone.
The aftermath of the war continues, but it is over. (End of chapter)
