Chapter 552 18. The secret to choosing a best friend is whether she can save you in a crisis
In a defeated posture, Red Queen Madeline didn't know who she was calling for help, but the other party responded quickly.
Almost instantly, a strange beam of light suddenly appeared from outside time and space, and a mechanical war spear like a stream of light roared with the power of breaking mountains and cracking rocks, stabbing from behind and hitting Mason's shoulder.
The captain remained motionless.
Still holding the phoenix egg in his hand, he continued to compete with Madeline for the Phoenix Power, but the nearly invincible Lord of the Universe's power armor made a muffled click, making Mason frown.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the new guy destroyed this set of power armor, it's just that the temporarily modified armor has reached its limit.
But it doesn't disappoint.
To be honest, it is surprising enough that it can last for so long in the face of the fierce bombardment of the Phoenix Force. It fully proves that although Engineer Mason is an abnormal bastard who found himself an AI girlfriend and likes to secretly drink antifreeze, but His craftsmanship is really great.
"Ka"
At the same time that Madeleine's skull was broken again, a tall figure jumped out of the light, wielding a molten sword decorated with Zerg skull bones and struck the back of the power armor with a powerful gesture.
Sparks flew everywhere but failed to leave a single scratch on the power armor.
Mason turned around and punched the latter with a burst of energy. At this moment, he saw the appearance of the person who came.
She was a tall woman wearing only hunting armor, but her weird figure and "long hair" composed of black nerve bundles on the back of her head gave away her identity.
Why is this a fierce female warrior? What is her relationship with Madeleine?
etc!
The hunting emblem on her belt. Is this an Iron-blooded Queen?
"Stop her!"
Mason called for help. In fact, the current situation no longer required his command.
The Lord Chao screamed into the air and hit the attacker with a ferocious knee to create a sonic boom. The latter seemed to be protected by some kind of magical supernatural power. He and Da Chao fought several times in the air and there was no winner.
It seems that although Lord Chao is powerful, magic is still his weakness.
Seeing that they could not defeat the enemy, the supporters simply gave up the frontal battle and activated some kind of special device, letting it fall like a flicker next to Madeline, who was resurrected but was still tightly clamped by the Lord of the Universe's power armor.
Naturally, she won't get entangled in saving people, but the way she saves people is also full of the ferocity and directness of an iron-blooded warrior.
The hunting wrist knife popped out neatly and swiped across the neck of the Red Queen who was strangled by Mason. The headless body that fell while the flesh and blood were separated was followed by another hunting flash, accurately dodging the blows and punches of Mason's fists. The battle ax chopped down by the Queen of Justice.
He is as nimble as a mortal, and every move he makes in battle is filled with a strong and swift aura, just like the deadliest hunter that can be found in the withered parallel world.
The fire of the phoenix burns and brings Madeleine back to life again.
But this time she learned the lesson.
Hiding behind the tall figures of allies, he raised his hands and distorted reality. He no longer pursued killing and turned to a strategy of infinite defense. He withstood the attacks of Mason and the Justice Lords without saying a single harsh word. Teleport the two of them out of the world.
Obviously, she was afraid of being beaten by Brother Mason, and maybe a word of delay would bring her back to the awkward family issues.
The King of the Seven Seas, awakened by the black light ring, screamed and rushed forward, followed closely by Wally the Speedster, but was rewarded with a sticky proton bomb by the latter and was kicked back by the Iron-Blooded Queen.
The dead King of the Seven Seas was not afraid of the explosion. He turned around and was sent out of the atmosphere by the Lord's super punch. Mason also stepped forward to grab the proton bomb on Wally's body with both hands and closed his gauntlets to tightly cover it.
There was a dull thud.
An explosion that could wipe out a city erupted in the palm of the captain's hand. It didn't hurt anyone and only emitted a desolate black smoke.
And outside the night at a higher altitude, a bright fire announced that the Black Lantern King of the Seven Seas had once again died outside the atmosphere, but he soon reappeared in the material world under the infusion of the death power of the Black Lantern Ring.
"Kakaka"
The magnetic field generated by the rotation of the global magnetic pole is exerting. Magneto's adjutant, who was taken out of the battlefield by his master and has only returned now, withstood the inspection ax of the Queen of Justice in a generous manner.
He threw his last attack on Mason, all just to cover his commander's safe escape, at the cost of his left arm being chopped off neatly by the Queen.
The Lord of the Universe's power armor itself still had no damage, even if it was faced with a fight with the Phoenix Force, it was still intact.
This fully demonstrates its invincible defense and lethal force, but its poor durability makes it unable to continue fighting with its broken posture.
The flying X metal components hit Mason's feet, like peeling off a turtle's shell, causing Mason to slip from invincibility to his normal posture.
"Save him alive!"
Just when Diana swung the inspection ax to kill Magneto, Mason, who had recovered the time stone, jumped over and held her wrist, saying:
"The battle is over, we have won, let him continue to live, I still have many things to ask him."
Although it is a very dangerous move to face the Queen of Justice in combat status and interfere with her battle, this time the Queen did not barge her teeth with Mason, but quickly calmed down.
Maybe it's because Mason has shown his toughness and strength just now, maybe it's because his child is still in Mason's hands, or maybe it's because the sincerity has been delivered, and the relationship between the two parties has truly begun to become positive.
In short, the Queen of Justice with red eyes looked at the adjutant Magneto who was waiting for death on the ground with his eyes closed. She spat a mouthful of bloody saliva, held the battle ax in her hand, and said:
"Okay, I'll give you some face in the name of today's great victory."
The Queen laughed boldly, leaned over to pick up Lao Wan's helmet and held it in her arms as a trophy. As soon as Mason turned around, Harley and Quinn rushed forward and hugged him.
Not as loud and noisy as it used to be.
The two crazy girls were really frightened. Just now, they almost lost their little sweetheart.
Mason stroked the hair of his girlfriends, sensing their silent worries and looked up into the distance. He nodded to Ciri, who was standing under a tree in the dark and looking far away, wearing only pajamas and a robe.
The hunter also nodded.
Their eyes met, and nothing was said.
She let out a long breath, turned around and left the place with another streak of silver light.
As long as it's safe, we'll talk about the rest later. Mason's heart was not at peace at this time. The scene of the moment when he was hit by Phoenix Judgment kept flashing back in his mind, making him unable to help but think about more. many.
Soon, the question Mephisto asked when they first met came to mind and made Mason realize something.
The old devil had already given him a reminder that the so-called standard of transcendence is the only one in all worlds, and is no longer bound by any past or future.
Existence is eternal.
Mason has obviously not reached that stage yet, and is far from it from all angles, but without any space-time alien, he has indeed become the only one in the world.
Perhaps he was endowed with some mysterious symbolism.
"It seems that I am really quite a miracle."
The captain looked up at the calm sky.
He reached out and hugged Harley and Quinn tightly in his arms. The night had been too exciting and he urgently needed to take a rest.
However, the Red Queen Madeline, her "good sister" who was killed at least thirteen times tonight, what is she doing now?
——
"唰"
The embarrassed Madeleine was carried by the rescuers she called, and was dragged across the sea of stars by the sonic boom tunnel, and finally landed in the cabin of a rather strange-looking alien spacecraft.
There is no one here, only the automatically operating navigation device and a whole display wall filled with various "trophies".
It is covered with various skulls.
From the bones and spines of normal humanoid creatures to the heads and claws of abnormal Zerg life forms, there are also some special things from different worlds.
Including but not limited to the blood-stained magic book, the broken vibranium suit, the Hulk's fist and hand bones, and even a complete Adamantium alloy skeleton, which at first glance was a "gift" from Uncle Wolf.
The other wall next to it is full of weapons, including retro cold weapons and future technology hot weapons. There are even two genuine Facker guns placed in conspicuous positions.
Finally, there is a mechanical storage cabinet where the armor is placed, which contains three women's armors with completely different styles.
One set is the most classic Jagged Hunter light armor. It is covered with traces of countless battles. It has been completely destroyed and is only placed here for commemorative purposes.
But the other two sets are very unusual.
The dark green Queen's hunter suit is made using some advanced black technology. It is heavy and fierce. The skull of the Extraordinary Dragon is embellished on the breastplate. The bone crown of the Alien Queen is shaped into shoulder pads. The various high-energy weapons it is equipped with allow the user to It can easily complete the mission of planet annihilation.
The third set of heavy armor was stored in a can, which looked very much like the symbiote suit, but this unique set had a strange gray color, just as fierce and weird as its owner.
The styles above are confusing and do not match at all, but they have one thing in common.
They were all collected by the owner of this spaceship single-handedly over the past countless years. Whether they are bones or weapons, they are a profound interpretation of personal bravery and a supreme tribute to the hunting tradition.
The weak Madeline was placed in a treatment device in the control cabin by the tall figure. It roughly pulled out the biological tube, connected it to the respirator, and buckled it on the Red Queen's face, then covered it with its own ferocious scales. He grabbed a silver syringe with his hand, put it on the pillow, and plunged it into Madeline's wrist.
The whole set of actions was smooth and neat, and it only took a few minutes for the color to return to the Red Queen's pale face.
After seeing his "best friend" regain his vitality, the tall hunter felt relieved.
She muttered an alien language like a roar, then reached out and took off the full-coverage red iron-blooded hunting helmet covering her head, revealing the white skull underneath and the dreadlocks connected to the back of her head. The same biological nerve bundle sat in front of the biological cabin and panted, trying to calm down the anger caused by failure.
"Thanks to you this time."
Madeleine regained some energy. Wearing a mask, she panted and said to the Iron-Blooded Queen who was resting next to her:
"I couldn't think of anyone who could save me, except you."
"GuluGulu"
The Queen waved her hands without looking back, expressing in alien language that this was not a big deal.
After all, the two have been friends and besties for a long time, and Madeleine has helped him before. Although she is a noble predator and the supreme hunting queen, she just fell into a fatal trap and only breathed her last. That’s all.
But she can still fight back in that situation and doesn't need help.
Of course, it would be another story to later use the power of Madeleine and the Conqueror to ascend to the position of queen, and quickly complete the centralization of the iron-blooded civilization in this dark and disorderly era.
They are not just ordinary best friends, but also an alliance of interests.
Of course Madeline knew that her best friend looked scary, but was actually a very stubborn but also very arrogant guy.
The Queen checked her friend's physical condition and confirmed that Madeleine was recovering. She rolled her eyes and asked:
"Gulu? Gulu gulu gulu? (How did you get yourself into such a mess? The powerful Red Queen was beaten to the point of being as weak as a crying little girl?)"
These words were somewhat sarcastic and teasing, but the Red Queen didn't care.
These serious warriors live a very ascetic life.
They would only be interested in two things in their lives: battle and glory. Having an Iron-blooded Queen take the initiative to joke meant that the relationship between the two was really good.
She has few friends.
The monster-like lady in front of him was one of a kind, and being able to save her from the situation just now meant that the friendship between the two was indeed beyond life.
There is no need to hide your embarrassment in front of such friends.
Madeline breathed in the strange-smelling Predator biorepair gas and said hoarsely:
"I made a stupid mistake. I underestimated him. It was like trying to crush a bug with full confidence, but in the end I realized that I was challenging a giant dragon."
"Grrrrrrrrrr! (I have made similar mistakes, but you escaped alive, you still have a chance for revenge!)"
The Queen sat next to her friend with her sword in hand, patted her shoulder in an iron-blooded manner, and gave her a word of comfort.
But Madeline smiled bitterly.
She felt miserable as she felt that less than two-thirds of the phoenix fragments were left in her body. The appetite of Mason's wild phoenix was as big as its courage.
This time I really lost my wife and my troops.
However, the Red Queen knew that she could not show such a discouraged expression in front of the Iron Queen, otherwise she would be disgusted. These hunters have a straightforward personality. Once they think you are a coward, all previous friendships will disappear.
Moreover, the first sequence of conquerors and the eighth sequence of conquerors, where the Predator is located, are now in a cooperative relationship. The alliance between the two parties is based on strength.
Once the Iron-Blooded Queen discovers that she is not as powerful as before, this cooperation will probably fall through.
Madeline knew that although her best friend was arrogant, she did put the interests of the tribe first.
So the Red Queen rolled her eyes and decided to adopt the fox's traditional tactics, preparing to use Mason's victory to cover up her own failure and cleverly combine the two.
She sighed and said:
"Alas, my brother is indeed as brave and wise as the legend says. I wanted to persuade him to join our plan, but he obviously has his own plans."
"Gulu? Gulu? Gulu? (The person who defeated you was your brother? Was he his biological son? Aren't you a clone?)"
The queen opened her mouth in surprise, fully proving that it is the nature of all female creatures to like gossip.
She stared at the Red Queen with her cold and sharp eyes, while Madeleine popped out her Project X ID card and whispered the relationship between Mason and herself without reservation.
Finally, she stood up and leaned on the Queen's strong shoulders, saying:
"Yes, that is my family, a member of our big family. Although there are some ideological differences between him and me, he has acknowledged my existence.
He also told me that he would do something about this shock.
So my suggestion is that we should not act rashly during this period, my friend.
You have also seen my brother’s appeal and his strength. Even the Phoenix Force is no match for him, and he is recruiting troops in that world of lords.
if
I mean, if he can really make a difference, maybe at that time, your people and my people will have other options besides giving it a go and seizing power.
I know you worship the strong.
You once thought that I was a strong person so you were willing to be friends with me. Now my dear brother has proven that he is better and more outstanding than me. Therefore, we should all choose our allies wisely to look forward to a more glorious victory, right? ”
"Gulu."
The Queen nodded.
She still understood this simple truth, and she carefully hid her previous contempt for Madeleine's defeat, but then, the Queen lowered her voice and asked:
"Gulu? Gulu, Gulu. (Will your powerful brother participate in our next mission? After all, it is against mutants, and he also belongs to them.)"
"He doesn't know it yet, and I don't plan to let him know it now. The good cards should be saved for the last time."
The Red Queen leaned in her best friend's arms.
She reached out and touched the black nerve bundle decorated with bones of the Queen, narrowed her eyes and said softly:
"But maybe we should properly reveal some information to him at some point. Although I hate Utopia, if I can take this opportunity to repair the 'brother-sister relationship', it's not that I can't give those guys a way out.
Although, they have hurt us deeply
But if in the name of the future, those unpleasant pasts can also be forgotten. "(End of Chapter)
