Chapter 586 52. Wait, if there is a situation, don’t be too busy yelling!
7 hours countdown to the fourth impact.
"Planetary magnetic field generator No. 1 to No. 6, final test!"
In the communications room headquarters of Osborne Tower, Mason stood in front of the big screen that connected all the worlds of the Rebel Alliance at the same time, holding the plan in hand and confirming the final steps.
"Generator No. 1 is operating normally and has entered preheating."
Cyborg from the world of Gotham was the first to send a message back.
Then came the Isu world, the Aegis world, the Lord world and the Vampire world, plus No. 6 which had started to be activated under the Osborne Tower, and all the devices had entered the preheating stage.
"Very good, next is the Aurora Device Signal Transmission Tower No. 1 to No. 6, the final inspection."
Mason turned to the next page and the same reply came again.
These improved devices have officially entered the launch process. From the window of the communication room, you can see the towering tower array on the periphery being activated. The launch vehicle carrying 480 golden apples will be launched into Earth orbit and the final deployment of the aurora device will begin. Completely automatic and does not require manual intervention.
An hour later, the power that once protected the Isu world will once again show its magic at the moment of impact.
"Speed Force Matrix One to Six, Final Test."
Mason asked again.
The answer this time was the Speedsters, including the five members of the Lightning family and Kid Flash, who were assigned to each world and had entered the "Maze of Time" to take their places.
In addition to these six speedsters, there are also "substitutes" sent here by the forces of the gods. The three gods of speed, Hermes, Horus and Mercury, are also warming up and ready to replace them at any time.
"Mikoshi server backup host and brainwave uploading devices No. 1 to 6, final inspection."
Mason asked finally.
Barbara, who had sat on the Mechanical Throne in the main control room in the Exile's spaceship and was connected to the main server of the Gods, replied in a deep voice:
"The network channel is smooth, the backup server responds clearly, the main server filtering firewall is started, the awareness data upload module is loaded, and waiting for the upload command.
Please pay attention to all the world, I emphasize it one last time!
Biological consciousness uploading is the final insurance. Once the global brainwave uploading process is started, it cannot be withdrawn.
This command can only be activated when it is confirmed that the situation is irreversibly bad, all other means have failed, and even the Speed Force Matrix has proven unable to effectively cut the timeline. ”
"Don't worry about command errors."
Mason closed the schedule in his hand, took one last look at it, and threw it on the table behind him.
He said to Barbara in a separate communication:
"The instructions for uploading biological consciousness in the six worlds must be approved by me before they can enter the final implementation stage. Please pay attention to your safety there, Barbara.
Although the spaceship has dived deep into the rift at this time, there is no guarantee that there will not be a direct attack on the main server. The afterlife team has arranged to enter the spacecraft to do defensive work.
If nothing can be done at the last moment, remember to eject in time to escape. ”
"No!"
Bat Girl said stubbornly:
"I will stay here until I see six new worlds before my eyes. So many people have sacrificed so much for this plan, and your countrymen are still bleeding for that common goal.
< br>
The burden is too heavy.
I wasn't going to let my brother handle this alone. ”
"Neither can we, two little cuties."
Selina's voice suddenly appeared in Mason and Barbara's private communication, which made Mason suddenly turn around and saw all the members of Team K 1.0 in the door opened behind him.
"You should go back to Wayne Manor."
Mason rubbed his eyebrows and sighed:
"If something happens to you now, I will probably strangle me to death. Believe me, Damian will never miss the opportunity to stab me."
"I'm not as fragile as you think."
Catwoman touched her now extremely flat belly, grinned and said:
"But compared to the old man who has eaten me dry, my little brother needs my support more now. All of us have gone through many obstacles and finally have to face this final challenge.
I don't want to miss this scene. ”
"No one wants to miss it!"
Harley rushed in, hugged Mason's waist, and rubbed her head against his chest.
She said softly:
"I will celebrate with Mr. K, give a kiss of victory, or stick together and turn into the last stardust in the dark universe. I will not leave you, and you can't even try to drive me away."
"How could I drive away my little cutie? I'm used to you two making noisy noises around me, and I'll feel bored when I suddenly don't have them anymore."
Mason touched Harley's head and reached out to hold Quinn beside him. He took a deep breath and looked at the countdown behind him that had slipped to 6 hours and 59 minutes.
He took a deep breath and said:
"Then, everyone, let us roar into this good night."
"Wait, stop ranting, Mason, I found some strange 'friends' outside the wasteland of Osborne Tower!"
Old Peter suddenly called on the communication system:
"In the valley next to the Forbidden Forest, they made a bad emergency landing on a shabby immigrant ship and fell from the purple eye in the sky five minutes ago."
< br>
"Not one of ours?"
The old Green Goblin, who was also in the communication and responsible for the defense of the Osborne Tower world, was stunned for a moment, and then replied coldly:
"Then leave them alone! The Amazons will imprison them. The first priority now is to ensure that the Fourth Impact is passed safely."
"But they asked to see Mason by name!"
The old spider explained:
"Gwen and I rescued people from inside, a group of mutants. These guys were all injured and in urgent need of medical help, and they claimed to be from Utopia!
They said that the situation there had collapsed, and they came here specifically to seek help from Mason. ”
"Utopia?"
Mason blinked immediately after hearing Old Peter's report, and then said to the other side:
"Bring them back and send them to the treatment area, I will wait for you there."
"I smell trouble."
Catwoman made a slight sniffing gesture, folded her arms and said to Mason:
"Your fellow villagers are really good at picking the right time to do this kind of thing at the last moment. But I have also heard about the style of these guys. They must not be able to hold on anymore before they take the initiative to come to you.
Come on over and see what's going on. ”
"I always knew what kind of trouble they were in and was prepared for it."
Mason clicked a few times on his watch to activate two specially prepared collective signals, then turned to the others beside him and said:
"Don't worry, these things will not interfere with the preparation and execution of the fourth impact. I will go to the Star Castle to talk to the swordsman about this first, and I will be back soon."
A few minutes later, the Utopia mutants discovered by Spider-Man were sent to the medical station below Osborn Tower.
The old Green Goblin, who was waiting here in his armor, glanced expressionlessly at the place where the mutants were placed, and then discovered that Spider-Man's report was a "small deviation" from reality.
These guys are not as simple as everyone being injured.
They are almost dead!
And this injury was definitely not caused by the fall. They were already seriously injured before they slipped through the Eye of Time and Space. If it weren't for the emergency life-support device on the ship, several of these guys would have died in front of them. The situation adds fuel to the excitement.
"I am the manager of this world, Mason's close comrade-in-arms. He is gathering people to prepare to intervene in the affairs that you will bring that are destined to cause trouble.
So just tell me what you want to say to him. ”
The Green Goblin stood next to Cyclops, who was being cleaned and bandaged by several android healers. The latter was in such a miserable state that he was blind in one eye.
After hearing Norman's self-introduction, the weak Cyclops immediately replied:
"We need help. The conquerors of the first and eighth sequences have invaded Utopia, the god Lord Doom is extracting our world, and the X royal family is still resisting.
But there is nothing we can do to stop this. ”
"I am very sympathetic to your experience, but the fact is that we cannot send more forces to join another war now."
The Green Goblin refused without much hesitation:
"The fourth impact is coming, and everyone can only stay together to protect themselves. This world integration plan is a gift from you. You know very well how much manpower and material resources are needed to execute it in several worlds at the same time.
So while we're sorry, we can't help. ”
"No! I'm not asking you to join the war. We don't have this idea."
Cyclops explained with difficulty:
"There are still a large number of civilians over there who have not had time to be sent out. You have large-scale time-space teleportation methods that are not subject to the intervention of the Council. You only need to send a partial army to bring our people out before Utopia is completely destroyed.
This is our only request to break out. ”
"The space-time teleportation of the Cosmic Treadmill is an important tool to ensure the exchange of power between worlds. If it is handed over to you, it means that the Osborne Tower will be temporarily isolated from other worlds."
Norman still shook his head and said:
"We can't take the risk."
Hearing this continuous rejection, Cyclops' raised hand dropped weakly. They didn't know that Mason would be contacting other people, but the Green Goblin who came forward on behalf of Mason was not accommodating at all.
The meaning is obvious.
The other X-royal mutants who were still awake in the room also fell silent.
"Everyone, have a good rest. Your safety here can definitely be guaranteed, but the rest may have to wait until the impact is over."
Norman said a word and turned around to leave.
However, after walking out of the door, he saw Mason coming from the front. The old Green Goblin reached out to stop him and said expressionlessly:
"No need to go in, I rejected them for you. Once you are allowed to come into contact with them, it means that you will definitely be involved in a situation that has nothing to do with you at this point in time.
You just like doing this kind of useless work.
But please take a look at the current situation!
With just over six hours left until the impact begins, we are your allies.
We need you to stay here and take charge now! Instead of following a group of defeated soldiers and running into a world that is hopeless to show your conscience that has nowhere to go.
With the fate of so many worlds on your shoulders, you still have the heart to run and fight for some compatriots who don't regard you as one of their own. You need to take a good look at whether you are not focused enough, Mason. ”
"Everything is going according to plan, Norman."
The captain sighed. He could understand where the anger of the old Green Goblin in front of him came from, and he didn't intend to explain anything. He just said softly:
"What we design is a system, we form a coalition, what we want to try is a reusable model instead of pinning everything on a savior.
We don’t need that kind of unreplicable miracle.
Norman, what this era needs is not a savior like me.
What it needs is a method.
And we have given our plan.
My role here is to serve as a member of the rapid response mechanism. I am just a craftsman, and everything I can do has been done in the early preparations.
This is a project that we designed and promoted together. Everyone in this tower and everyone in the Rebel Alliance participated in it. It is not a miracle that belongs to me alone.
You should have some confidence in yourself and your teammates.
If I still have to step in to turn the tide at the end of the matter, it proves that everything we have done in the past few months has failed
You are His Majesty the King who claims to conquer the universe in the new era. How can you place everything on a young man who is old enough to be your son? ”
"Stop trying to prevaricate me with such nonsense! You know what I mean!"
Old Norman stared at Mason fiercely, pointed at his chest and said:
"You can't do two things at the same time!
You can't focus on saving two groups of people at the same time, but I already know from the stupid light shining in your eyes that you are determined to wade into this muddy water.
Having known you for so long, I also know that no one can convince you to change the decision you have made, so, ok! We support you in getting there and we will give you our full support.
I don’t know how long it takes to save a world, but I’ll only give you six hours. ”
"I will not use the forces that are already in their respective responsibilities. I had already made preparations in advance when I had a premonition that something would happen to Utopia."
Mason said:
"Utopia has given us support. Although the relationship between the two parties is not close, they are also one of our friends in this era. We cannot ignore death."
"To me they are just a bunch of strangers."
Old Norman glanced at Mason and said:
"There will still be a lot of trouble in six hours, so stay focused, young man."
After saying this, the guy turned around and left, just passing by the menacing swordsman who brought a group of mutant pioneers. She brought all the mutant members of the Stars Society with her.
There are also several commanders of the newly formed K-Men on the periphery, but the two sides are clearly separated, as if there is an invisible line stuck there.
"You said I would go back to Utopia to save people."
The swordsman roared:
"But what are you doing with these rookies? We have to take care of them."
"They won't always be rookies, and with just such a small number of people, how can you be so busy? From what Cyclops means, the number of civilians stranded in the Utopia war zone is a very scary number."
Mason didn't pay attention to the swordsman's displeasure, he said:
"The Legion of Doom commanded by Luther will also accompany them. They will be responsible for attacking the fortress. You are only responsible for rescuing people. The use of the World Gate is prohibited there, and the space-time teleportation of the cosmic treadmill also needs to be charged.
This time the time is tight and the tasks are heavy. I hope you are mentally prepared. ”
"Where is the first sequence of conquerors?"
Miss Anna next to me asked:
"That's your natal family, Mason. It would be embarrassing for you to get involved in the war between them and Utopia. How do you plan to deal with them?"
"What are you from your mother-in-law's family? It's time now, so stop clinging to this stupid sectarianism."
The captain shook his head and said:
"If they persist in their obsession, they are our enemies! I know how to deal with them."
"Where's Madeleine?"
The White Queen in the crowd suddenly asked. She had put on the new suit that Mason had made for her, and it seemed that she also planned to participate in the Utopia rescue battle.
She looked at her son and asked:
"What if Madeleine thwarts you again?"
"She escaped from me once."
Mason pushed the frame and said to his mother:
"I don't think she has a second chance, so the advice I can give her is that I hope she can be more sensible this time. If she continues to behave badly, I may have to attend a family funeral.
I know what you want to do, stay here!
Don't go! ”
Emma immediately wanted to retort, scolding her son for how dare he speak to his mother like this when he was grown up, but when she saw Mason's stern expression, the perverse White Queen hesitated, and ultimately did not dare to disobey the captain. .
It's not that she's afraid, it's just that she's not willing to give up her good relationship with Mason for another stranger.
"Maybe you could talk about it."
Emma said softly, Mason nodded and said:
"We can talk, as long as she is willing." (End of Chapter)
