Chapter 524 70. Want to form an alliance? No problem, but next time please use a spicy and sour messenger
Although the invasion war has ended, not all the participants have left the battlefield world. S.H.I.E.L.D. still has a team of extremely high-level messengers staying in Gotham, observing the other world while pushing the cooperation between the two parties closer.
They have had many meaningful conversations with Zhenglian, planning to reorganize the superhero ecology of both parties, realizing an end-to-end powerful alliance between the Avengers and the Justice League, effectively deepening the awareness of both parties, and planning for the resistance cause. The new track formed a joint force in the battle against the Hope Council, found a new way of fighting, and tried to produce short, flat and fast combination punches.
In human terms, both sides are learning from each other.
After all, they are the top hero teams in each other's world, and they have similarities in themselves. After understanding each other's past experiences, it is inevitable that they will have a feeling of sympathy for each other.
In this war, both sides did cooperate with each other and realized that they needed to learn from each other's strengths. For example, the Avengers believed that it was necessary to select a character similar to Batman among them to become the brains of the team. Zhenglian also felt that some of the Avengers The concept is very good, such as their numerical advantage and good cooperation with the authorities.
Especially relying on SHIELD, a huge official spy organization, gives the Avengers a huge advantage in intelligence.
Batman, who doesn't trust anyone, is also happy to see this kind of cooperation. On the one hand, he can satisfy his weird voyeuristic desire.
yeah! There are new idiots coming to your doorstep. You can try to install monitors on these guests from another world!
On the other hand, considering the threat of the Conqueror Sequence, I also feel that I must collect as much information as possible on heroes and superhumans from other worlds.
It would be best to directly obtain the Avengers database, so that your anti-XX tactics can be enriched faster.
Of course, there are simpler ways, such as calling Mason and asking him to copy the reaction tactics he developed and use them directly.
However, the master is also a veteran hero, has his own dignity, and disdains the use of such "borrowing" methods, although he has to admit that Mason is probably already better than his predecessor in collecting information and formulating countermeasures.
Those who remain in the world of Gotham are not just the messengers and representatives of the Avengers, but also more mysterious and powerful guys, namely the trio of the ultimate K-Team.
These three bosses have disappeared since the end of the war.
But they have been wandering in this strange world to make effective and direct observations, and what attracts them is naturally not ordinary things.
"I have found traces of Split Fungus and Withering Ash. They are hidden very deep. Compared with the original three Forces, these new forces that have gradually evolved with the development of human society are very low-key."
In the shadow of the Batcave, Frog Tu said to Heiqiyi, who was standing in front of the Batcomputer:
"The fungus of division represents the will of the fungus, while the withering ash is the microorganism. The two originally came from the same source but later split into different branches.
They hide their country from the real world and do not intervene in the evolution of the world on a large scale, but their power is everywhere in the world like the three forces.
What a magical existence. ”
"Do you feel magical about these things too?"
Hei Qiqi turned his head and glanced at Frog Pictures, who was writing and drawing on a large notebook, and he joked:
"As a former observer, I thought you already knew all the mysteries of the universe."
"Observers can see a lot, but we can't see everything. It's not that we don't have the ability, but it's just not necessary."
Frog Tu, who had the mark of exile on his forehead, shrugged and said rather Versailles:
"Always leave some fun in a long life. The experience of discovering new things inadvertently can satisfy my overly strong curiosity every time.
Next, I plan to continue to track the root power of the existence of this world. According to some legends, among the six forces of this world, there is still the last metal spirit that I have not yet discovered.
I guess its cause must be related to the rapid development of technological power, perhaps hidden in machinery and networks. This aspect is the domain of Perfect Ultron, so I want to borrow him temporarily. ”
"Whatever you want."
Heiqi waved his hand and said:
"Go and do the work, I can do it alone.
This world doesn't seem that interesting to me. Its appeal to me is rapidly declining. Maybe I will leave here soon.
Rather than watching these dying things, I'd rather see what Mason and his crew do next. ”
"You want to follow Team K?"
Frog Tu widened his eyes and said:
"Do you plan to stay there permanently, or participate in their actions in other ways?"
"Anything is fine."
Hei Qiqi raised his head and felt something throbbing in the darkness. He said:
"The fourth impact is coming, can you feel it?
The tremor originating from the depths of the universe is already brewing. This will be a very important fate and time node for the K-Team and Mason Cooper.
The same is true for us. ”
"I don't deny that."
Frog Tu put away his big notebook, took out a strange armillary sphere and put it in his hand. He said:
"The model of this universe has entered irreversible collapse, and there is not much time left for everyone. Unlike me and Ultron, you don't have much awareness of the eternal death.
You still have work to do, and paying more attention to Mason is necessary.
But if you remain in the material world, others will notice you, and if my guess is correct, emissaries from other forces will soon appear in front of you.
Just as they have been trying to establish contact with us observers, this is an inevitable harassment and request. ”
"What are you implying? You might as well speak more clearly!"
Heiqi looked at Frog Tu with a strange attitude and eyes. The latter was silent for a moment and said frankly:
"I just don't want to see you in the enemy's camp one day, Strange, you are too persistent, and what's worse is that you don't hide your persistence at all.
Mason used this to convince you, and the other party may also use this to convince you and take advantage of you.
Like I said, you don't resist being used.
As long as the goal can be achieved.
In Bat-family parlance, you're a destabilizer, you know what I mean? ”
"Do your own thing well. Only by meddling less can your boring life of hundreds of millions of years continue. I don't need you to think more about me."
The Dark Supreme Mage snorted.
He didn't like to discuss his obsessions with other people casually, and Fatu didn't continue to persuade. He took a step back and disappeared into the shadows.
Black Strange reached out expressionlessly and pressed a button on Batman's computer. What seemed like a mechanical operation was actually some kind of magic that activated the Batcomputer and bypassed various restrictive programs to start browsing various information in the database.
He didn't have much curiosity about these things in the material world.
It should be just to relieve boredom and let someone see what stupid humans in this world are doing that they can't understand at all?
After a few minutes, Hei Qiqi suddenly stopped browsing and looked back at the energy vortex emerging behind him. He showed a sinister smile, leaned in front of the Bat Computer, and said:
"You are finally here. I have been waiting for a long time."
"Hats off, Doctor Strange."
Amid hearty laughter, a big black man in primitive attire walked out of the energy vortex.
He was dressed very wildly, holding a wooden war spear. His face was covered with various oil paints, and colored clay was used to create the shape of his eyes on his forehead.
It may seem strange, but the divinity floating around this guy means that he is no ordinary human being.
Under Hei Qiqi's gaze, he took the initiative to introduce:
"I am the messenger of the Hope Council and a member of the 'Gods'. I am here to greet you and bring you the sincere invitation of the Council.
We hope you can join us and work together for the future of the stars. ”
"I won't ask you where you can convince me with your confidence, and I don't need you to introduce to me how powerful I hope the council will be, or what status it can give me.
I don't care about that. ”
Hei Qiqi waved his hand, signaling to stop saying these polite words.
He asked directly:
"Let's talk about your philosophy first. If you want me to join you, you have to convince me in this regard, your views on impact, your plans for parallel worlds and your thoughts on the future."
"It's really direct and doesn't waste time. It's really worthy of praise."
The envoy of the Council laughed, and then explained seriously:
"The original intention of the establishment of the Hope Council is undoubtedly the cause that Mason Cooper is promoting at this time. Everyone is trying to find a path to new life in the annihilation of the dark age, and we can do whatever it takes to do this.
< br>
As for the impact.
That is just a sad stage of the death of the too old universe. We have summed up a set of effective methods to avoid its continued impact in the impact after impact. ”
"Oh, I understand. When you face difficulties, the way you choose is to escape, and you hope that I will be a country mouse like you and be proud of it."
Hei Qiqi sneered and said:
“No surprise at all.”
"Not just an escape."
The messenger was not angry at the bitter irony. He shook his head and said:
"We are ready to deal with the last few impacts. An agreement has been reached among multiple forces. We will jointly shape a 'final world' and transfer valuable lives and civilizations to it to shape a world." 'Doomsday Ark'.
The change of era has its inevitability.
But it does not represent the end of all things, just as there is new life in death. Strong people like you joining us can make this action go forward more smoothly.
We have calculated the time when the epoch change will occur and established an effective response model. All we need now is to build a stable enough framework.
Please believe in our sincerity.
Compared with us who have countless resources to deploy, the chance that Mason Cooper's camp you currently choose can survive to the end is too small to be ignored.
Their victory is nothing more than a fight between ants at the feet of a giant and represents nothing of value. ”
"You look confident. Even in my opinion, Mason's description of you, the 'clay-footed giant', is very accurate. You are not united, you just look strong but each has your own plans, like a sunken Rats huddled together on the boat
You are not very happy to maintain the current situation, just because you have no other choice.
Even just from your empty words, I can feel your despair. In terms of confidence and hope, you are not even as good as an eighteen-year-old young man, and you don't even dare to speak out your true thoughts. ”
Heiqi sighed.
He looked at the messenger in front of him with strange eyes, like a chef looking at the ingredients, or like a gourmet waiting for the dish to be served. He said:
"Okay, okay, I have one last question before I make my decision."
——
Mason, who was busy with his work in the office of Osborne Tower, suddenly raised his head and saw Mr. Black Strange walking out of the dark door.
The latter seemed to have just finished his meal and was wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
He walked to Mason's desk, stretched out his hand to him without any hesitation, and said:
"Don't set the Time Stone on a weapon. That's the stupidest way to use it. Make a magic pendant like the Eye of Agamotto and place it close to your body.
You are not a spell caster, so don’t try to control the power of time. The biggest use of this thing in your hands is to prevent you from dying suddenly. Of course, you can try to use your amazing manufacturing skills to discover its uses. That is your own business. I don't participate.
Now, give me the black apple in your hand. I need to ask it a question. ”
"A person can only ask once."
Mason picked up the penguin umbrella at hand and handed it to Hei Qiqi, and then said seriously:
"You'd better make sure it's the question you really want to ask before asking. In addition, although it will give a standard answer to your question.
But the standard answer does not mean it is correct.
These are two concepts. ”
"I know what I'm doing, kid, I don't need you to worry about me."
Heiqi glanced at Mason, as if he disliked him for being nosy.
Then he held the black apple decorated on the umbrella handle with both hands, looked directly at the round cosmic artifact, closed his eyes and asked his question in his heart.
Mason watched this process curiously.
This is the first time he has seen the black apple take effect, and he also wants to know what it looks like when it takes effect.
Will there be auspicious clouds flying all over the sky? Will it trigger an energy explosion that wipes out the entire Osborne Tower in an instant? Or will he turn the world beneath his feet into humble stardust among the stars?
He stopped writing in his hand and looked ahead.
But nothing happened.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that Hei Qi opened his eyes again and returned the penguin umbrella to Mason expressionlessly.
He opened his mouth to speak.
But there was black blood flowing down the corners of his mouth and nostrils. As Mason watched, Hei Qi's humanoid disguise also "collapsed" at this moment. The appearance of the evil god in the material world made Mason's ears ring with strange sounds. murmured.
But soon he regained control of the changes in his body and returned to his usual sinister posture. After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he said to Mason:
"I hope the Council has sent a messenger to persuade me to join them."
"I'm not surprised."
Mason tied his hands and looked at Hei Qiqi and asked:
"How do you feel about this?"
"It's a bit bitter, like the combination of fresh bitter melon and sea fish. It's refreshing in the mouth but has a bad aftertaste. I have to say that their taste in selecting messengers is really poor."
The Dark Master seemed to answer the question incorrectly.
But Mason curled his lips and was completely relieved.
He said jokingly:
"Maybe they should choose a spicy one. No one hates spicy food. I'm glad you didn't abandon us."
"It's just temporary."
Heiqi snorted and said:
"I just want to see how you will respond to this impact. If you don't meet my psychological expectations, there is no need for me to continue playing these doomsday house games with you.
That black apple.
Don't use it casually!
You can't withstand the backlash of its thinking now. If you were three times stronger, it might be about the same. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left. Mason asked behind him:
"Can you share the question you just asked it and the answer? I'm really curious about it."
"Too much curiosity is not a good thing. Exploring dangerous secrets is also harmful to your health. Why do you always look at what others are doing when you have nothing to do? Pay more attention to yourself."
Hei Qiqi obviously was not in the mood to share his thoughts. The questions and answers he asked to the origin of the universe were destined to be known only to himself.
But before leaving, Mason took out a box from the drawer at hand and said to Heiqi:
"I need your help, Strange. I want to find a strong enough and stable energy source for these spells, and the powers they need to be given are all kinds of strange. Among the strong men beside me, you are the only one who meets the conditions. .”
"Why should I do this?"
The boss, who always had a cocky personality, turned around 180 degrees and said to Mason in a very terrifying manner:
"What good will it do me to give my power to your creations?"
"You should already be familiar with the ways of the Bat-family, right?"
Mason casually picked up a Explosive Dragon Talisman, threw it in his hand, winked at Hei Qiqi and said:
"Everything we send out must have at least one monitor, which can effectively help us collect information and avoid some bad situations.
These charms contaminated with your power will be sent out by me, and anyone who holds them will become your 'eyes' and 'ears'. In this way, as they continue to be active in the worlds, you don't need to go out to You can get a lot of news.
This is an intelligence network delivered to your doorstep!
Gee, if I didn't have the ability, I would have done it myself.
Even if you don't care or care about this information, wouldn't it be nice to use these spells to make some dark deal with the user in your free time, or instruct them to do something that can please you?
People always have to have some fun for themselves, right?
The greater the pressure, the more so. If there is no entertainment in a dull life, people will go crazy.
I mean, be kind to yourself, man. "(End of Chapter)
