Chapter 588 54. Mutants + Aliens =?
When Mason entered the room where the cosmic treadmill was with his weapons full of complaints, everyone else was ready.
The young version of Luther put on a set of green power armor for himself. Behind him were his adjutant, the old Luther, and all the members of the newly formed "Legion of Doom."
In addition to the original members of the Legion of Doom, there are also super villains brought back from the Lord World.
Black Manta, Gigantamax, Metal Man, Parasite Demon, Silver Banshee, Leopard Girl, Poison Ivy, Living Wire and other "familiar" characters are lined up in a row, fully armed, with a look of death on their faces. His expression is waiting for the expedition.
To be honest, what you should worry about most when leading such a group of guys to implement a rescue strategy is not the vicious enemies, but whether these guys will suddenly jump back at some point and cause a big job for the captain.
However, the two Luthors looked confident, and the two Deathstrokes were still joking. Next to them, Deadshot, Bane and King Shark had expressionless faces.
They are the supervisory team, and they must be more ruthless to restrain other vicious bastards.
So probably the rule of survival in the New Legion of Doom is "fight evil with evil."
"Isn't your real leader here yet?"
Mason glanced at the time on his watch and asked, but the next moment there was a sound of the door opening behind him, and an old man wearing a mechanical bat suit strode in.
The two Luthors immediately stood up straight, and the villains of the Legion of Doom also shrank their necks, which shows the threat the old man posed in this regard.
Mason threw out the specially made anti-mutant bullets and fear grenade boxes. While others were changing to special weapons, he said to Little Flash who was warming up next to him:
"I will give you the message. After receiving confirmation that it is correct, I will start the time and space transmission to avoid letting in people who should not come."
"I will identify it."
Xiao Shan made an OK gesture and said:
"This time Mercury and Horus are helping me share the pressure. You can teleport at least twenty times in six hours. Try to gather your compatriots together.
In addition, the good news is that the time and space blockade on the other side of Utopia has been disrupted by the brewing impact. I can now send you directly to a place close to the mutant capital, so that you don't have to travel long distances. ”
"This is good news indeed."
Mason nodded, and Flash then boarded the cosmic treadmill and began to accelerate.
The flashing light flew on the treadmill track, causing the phantom of time and space to open, and the light also illuminated everyone's eyes.
The swordsman holding the demon helmet was still complaining.
She knew that anything related to the impact would not be simple, but to be honest, she did not expect to encounter such an exciting situation before the impact officially started.
However, when the captain was preparing to set off, he suddenly received a private communication request from the old Green Goblin. As soon as Mason activated the communication, he heard Norman complaining on the other side:
"I'm sorry for having a quarrel with you just now, and I'm sorry for trying to help you make a decision without your permission. I hope this will not affect our cooperative relationship.
Alas, I knew it was futile to stop you from doing such a thing ever since the malignant Peter Parker reported his damn discovery.
I know what kind of person you are, and I also know the stupid choices you make when others ask for help. You never seem to learn to refuse others, just like you helped the people in the shelter on that rainy night. Attack my city.
No chance of winning
You always like to do things that seem meaningless to others, but maybe this is why we can trust you and unite around you.
But Mason.”
The old Green Goblin said in a deep voice:
"It's not easy to give up your options at the last moment. You have to come back before the impact begins! The career you have devoted your passion and energy to is about to come to an end, and it will not be so complete without you by your side at that moment. < br>
Maybe I'm getting old.
I didn't expect that I would say this at this time.
But Mason, a new era without you won't be perfect for everyone. ”
"Ah, Norman, I'm about to cry. These words are really heart-warming, not to mention that they come from the mouth of an old guy like you who wants to be the overlord of the universe."
The captain made a gesture and asked the team members to jump into the opened space-time rift.
He looked back at the still calm sky of Osborne Tower and the still rotating Eye of Time and Space above his head, and said to the old Green Goblin:
"I have no intention of being absent, so please wait until I come back to save the world. If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
The moment he hung up the communication and walked into the space-time rift, Mason reached out and pressed the hat on his head. From the flash of the Speed Force in front of his eyes, he could see the scorched earth of Utopia shrouded in war.
He said:
"Hat, I notice you are becoming more and more silent."
"Because you don't need my help anymore, Mason, you can fly on your own."
The Sorting Hat said quietly:
"To tell you the truth, I'm thinking about retiring. Rather than following you around all day and experiencing those horrible things, maybe it would be more suitable for me to go back to those little wizards and continue to be a crazy hat."
"Then we have to wait and see the sunset of Utopia with our own eyes, right?"
Mason pulled out the pistol from his waist and jumped into the time and space rift in front of him. He said:
"On the day when the great vengeance at Hogwarts is avenged, are you willing to share your feelings?"
Hat was silent for a long time and never spoke again.
Mason could feel the complex emotions of the hat. They had all been changed by the experience. The Sorting Hat who once shouted for revenge all day long seemed to have become a very distant memory.
The surrounding team members spread out to observe the environment, and the captain also raised his head and circled around.
He saw several sonic boom tunnels rising in the ruined city filled with smoke and dust in front of him. In the chaotic sky in the distance, there were also uniquely shaped Predators' spaceships leaving the atmosphere of this world.
These guys don't know what kind of gadget they used to poison the world, causing problems in the atmospheric structure of Utopia. The light of the stars was refracted and showed a weird red glow.
It looks extremely ominous.
"The conquerors here have begun to evacuate."
Young Luther came over and said to Mason:
"I estimate that they have completed the search and destruction of the edge cities of this world. This is good news. It means that as long as we do not take the initiative to attack, we do not have to suffer the unexpected attrition caused by fighting with them.
The goal is just to rescue those trapped mutant civilians, so I mean, we're in and out. ”
Mason nodded and looked back at the guide behind him. Supreme Cable popped up a world topographic map from his robotic arm and explained:
"After the alien army broke through the second line of defense, the civilians who had no time to evacuate were placed in three underground fortresses and abandoned test site spaces near the capital.
Our landing point is still a little far away, but there is no need to check the outer area.
The civilians here have been sent to various planes before the war started. We sent apostles lurking in various planes in advance to guide them to the predetermined refuge locations.
As for the soldiers here”
The Supreme Cable was silent for a moment and finally did not come to a conclusion, but the people who came to help looked around. Even the earth was torn and baked by the manic power. It was basically impossible for any life to exist here.
"No! There are life activities underground ahead, and there are a lot of them."
Old Deathstroke holds a life detector that makes a beeping sound, and the screen shows that there are considerable biological signals in the wreckage of the fallen Sky Fortress ahead.
But Diansuo waved his hand with a bitter look on his face and explained:
"It's those monsters! The Iron-Blooded Legion releases their war pets onto the battlefield. Those monsters will look for powerful mutants as hosts and give birth to special mutants.
At the beginning, we were able to destroy their nests in time, but those guys reproduced too fast.
Especially the evolved form after acquiring the X gene is even more destructive. ”
"I never thought that the Predators would actually use aliens as weapons of war, but I am not surprised at all about the Sentinels' rebellion.
Mutants and sentry robots have always been antonyms. If they are put together, sooner or later something will happen. ”
Mason complained:
"Liana, can you open the underground fortress directly leading to the capital of the X royal family?"
"Okay, I've been there."
The swordsman wearing a full set of hell armor said in a deep voice.
Although she didn't like Utopia, she felt very uncomfortable seeing the once beautiful mutant country reduced to such a scorched earth within a few days.
I really want to find a few monsters and chop them down to vent my anger.
"This world is over, and it may become a hunting ground or a recruitment base for the Predator."
Mason got up and sat on his Mobius chair and said to the others:
"After a while, I will restrain the sentry, you go down to rescue people, let's get started."
The captain gave the order, and the swordsman grabbed the soul sword and slashed downwards. After tearing open the space, he was the first to jump in, followed closely by the others.
As soon as Mason drove the Möbius Chair over to face him, he saw several twisted creatures rushing towards him, and then, as expected, they were fixed in the air by the traction field of the Möbius Chair.
These guys have the classic appearance of an alien. The black biological carapace, the smooth and slender skull, the eyeless structure, and the serrated tail are full of some kind of strange and evil beauty, and the sharp claws and fine fragments that completely cover the biological exoskeleton. The ejection-type predatory mouthparts in the mess-toothed mouth add a hint of ferocity to it.
Mason noticed that the bodies of these warrior aliens had mutated to varying degrees. One of them had a carapace that was the color of flames and could spit flames from its mouth. Even its claws were covered with high temperatures.
This is probably the "X-gene mutant" that Cable just mentioned.
In addition to the outstanding physical attacks, energy attacks have actually evolved. It seems that the combat effectiveness of the new aliens hatched by mutants as hosts is indeed impressive.
It's a pity that no matter how much you mutate, you can't grow a biological exoskeleton that can block kinetic bullets.
"Bang"
The close range burst blasted the heads of the three mutant aliens in front of them, causing the retained lethal acid body fluids to splash everywhere, corroding the surrounding ground with a hissing sound.
The mutant observed by Mason actually used body fluids to produce a scorching explosion.
The villains of the Legion of Doom are not afraid of these ghosts.
They chopped the monsters to the ground in a few seconds. They were as reckless as the Shark King and even picked up the alien's claws and tried to put them into his mouth to taste the saltiness, but were knocked away by Deadshot next to him.
He believed that no matter how powerful the digestive system of King Shark was, eating something similar to sulfuric acid would not end well.
The movement transmitted by the commando team soon alerted the nearby alien monsters, who rushed out from the ruins of the dilapidated building that had obviously been bombed.
They didn't choose the stupid frontal charge, but were very cunning enough to pass through various weird areas where they could hide.
The two sharpshooters, Deadshot and Bloodsport, opened fire immediately.
But although the bullets they fired could still accurately hit these black bastards from a long distance, they were unable to have enough destructive power to break their exoskeletons.
"Head!"
Mason in the Mobius chair grabs the tech rifle Widowmaker and says to the others who have drawn their weapons:
"The heads of these things have hunting sensors. That's the only part of them that isn't covered with a bone helmet. But these guys move very fast. If you don't have super shooting skills, don't waste bullets."
After saying that, he pulled the trigger, and several X-mutants that were hanging upside down from the ruins in preparation for "airborne assault" tactics exploded on their heads. The corrosive body fluids spilled onto the ground, making an unsettling sound. In the death knell, Under No. 1's scolding, the bastards of the New Doom Legion took out their explosive flamethrowers.
Their thinking is quite accurate. As long as these things are still organic creatures, fire can still cause considerable damage to them.
"Careful!"
The swordsman who was looking for the entrance to the underground bunker suddenly moved his ears amidst the harsh sound of firefights. Then he jumped to the side of the rookie Psylocke in a blink of an eye. The soul sword in his hand slashed outwards, and one of the swordsmen appeared from the invisible. The gray alien was beheaded easily and the hellfire was thrown out to spread around, forcing out several other monsters that were trying to sneak attack in a blink of an eye.
"They are mutant aliens created by phantom cat genes. What is going on with these guys?"
The swordsman cursed:
"Why do I feel that their mastery of the X gene is much better than these rookies? These monsters have only been hatched for a few days, right? Can they use their abilities to this extent?
Is this justified? ”
"It's just a different evolutionary path."
Mason had already jumped off the mechanical chair and leaned over to extract biological samples from the brain of a captured alien.
He planned to use Isu biological technology to make weapons that could quickly kill aliens just like he did with the Skrulls. In the heated battlefield around him, the commander took out several sophisticated equipment and began to extract genetic samples on site, and also He casually explained to the aggrieved swordsman:
"The gene chains of aliens are different from most carbon-based organisms. There are blank areas in their DNA helices, which are used to quickly combine the best gene fragments of the host to achieve nearly unlimited evolutionary possibilities.
This is the biological characteristic that allows them to continue to grow stronger.
Therefore, theoretically, if an alien egg can parasitize Superman, then when it bursts out of the chest, it will get a Kryptonian alien.
Hiss, this idea is quite good. ”
Mason put the separated sample in his hand and looked at it. He added various alchemical liquids to it to compare the material effects and said:
"We must try this idea when we catch a bad Kryptonian. By the way, General Zod's group of Kryptonian thugs should still be wandering in the world of Gotham, right?
How about finding an opportunity for them to cooperate in the experiment and treat it as a contribution to the development of biology.
Done! ”
The captain took out the only one that changed color among the five test tubes in his hand, and burned the other four with magic fire. Then, using the components of this mixed sample that reacted violently as a blueprint, he deduced the new alchemical formula within a few minutes. .
He took out a lot of raw materials and piled them together, put on his alchemist's gloves and put three weak magic stones into them to stabilize the alchemy process, and then put his hands together to start the formation.
With a flash of red light, several large boxes of liquid biodestroying agents were completed.
Mason casually took the deflagration flamethrower from the rookie Psylocke next to him, then picked up a liquid can and installed it on the fuel tank of the flamethrower. Then he took a few steps forward and aimed at a group of X-gene special mutants that were screaming and rushing towards them. Pull the trigger.
The gray-green mist was compressed and sprayed out, and in less than five seconds, the extremely ferocious mutant aliens in front of him let out weird screams.
One by one, they lay on the ground and lost their strength as if they had eaten something unclean. It was difficult to even escape. The Shark King, who had been killed and went crazy, pounced on them and killed them one by one with his claws.
The strange smell emitted by the mist made the surrounding aliens feel as if they smelled snow. They howled and retreated quickly, and soon exited the ruins littered with corpses.
Mason nodded with satisfaction and threw the flamethrower in his hand to Psylocke, shouting to the others:
"Everyone wear alien destroyers! Don't waste time chasing them. We are not here to rid the world of bugs."
The swordsman witnessed the whole process and she exclaimed:
"How did you do that? Is this some kind of witchcraft or magic?"
"It's just a simple reuse of biology and alchemy, not worth mentioning."
Mason waved his hand quite modestly and said:
"These guys have seized the power of mutants and naturally have their weaknesses. In addition, they are sentient creatures, so it is not difficult to make biological agents that destroy the senses and cause weakness.
If you are making a special attack type plague, it may take a few days, but the evolution speed of aliens is very fast, and this biological agent will be ineffective against them after at least one generation of reproduction.
But this is enough for our actions.
Look at you, you look like you've seen a ghost, what's wrong? Have you never seen an alchemist show off his power before? ”
"You said it easily."
Liana picked up the liquid tank at hand and shook it in her hand. Her tone was weird:
"You just praised these aliens to the sky, but in the blink of an eye, the power they took countless years to evolve was defeated by your tinkering in a few minutes.
So, who is the real monster? ”
"You've known me for so long, why would you ask such a boring question?"
Mason took off his medical gloves and threw them on the alien body aside. He climbed back on the Mobius chair and answered:
"Looking for shortcomings and targeting them does not necessarily require being stronger than the enemy, but as long as they are not perfect and I catch their weaknesses, my chances of winning will be greatly increased.
Isn’t this how we craftsmen fight?
Liana, if you want to develop your future life and dominate in hell after being unemployed from the Star Society, the easiest way is to bring me more demons or demon biological samples.
As for strength?
Phew, boring stuff. ”
