Chapter 632 98. If you are in hell, the only one who can save you is the devil
Lord Doom left quickly. He handed over an important force under his command to Old A and promised to send someone to join him in the upcoming operation.
However, he himself chose to be absent because he wanted to appease the goblin power and complete the final construction of the Doomsday Star.
This reason is impeccable.
However, the decision itself revealed Lord Doom's attitude towards assassination. For a person who regards reason as a good character, this is indeed not the first option he would choose when he is at a disadvantage.
Fury did not leave the beach.
He watched Lord Doom disappear in an arc of light, and then leaned back on the deserted beach chair, stretched out his hand to support his forehead and fell into thought.
Doom is not the only one who wants to meet tonight. He is determined to complete the joint operation tonight and complete the final kill on Mason with the momentum of a lion fighting a rabbit.
Doom was just the first collaborator to meet, he wasn't even the most important one.
After the failure of Utopia's operation, Doom's importance in Old A's plan dropped significantly. As he said, they missed the most important opportunity, which was enough to turn a tailwind into a big headwind.
But even if the mentality has exploded, the game must continue to be played. What should I do if I don’t play? Did you vote directly?
"Hiss"
The noise caused by the energy piercing time and space woke up Old A from deep thought. He raised his head and saw a pair of lights and shadows opening on the beach chair opposite.
The aperture composed of pixels spreads into a vivid holographic image, which is enough to look real. The only problem is that the mold is worn.
This guy's feet were under the sand.
"What's the matter with you?"
The Chief Arbitrator frowned and asked:
"It's rare that you make such a low-level mistake, and you are so panicked? What happened? Wait, before you answer, tell me, who are you?
What about the conquerors? ”
"He's at war."
The light and shadow cast in front of Kang is a black man with a silent face. The latter is wearing a set of armor that is obviously used for combat and is sitting on an extremely mechanical suspended throne.
He replied to Old A:
"I am Quantum Lord Kang, his ally and supporter. The sacred timeline collapsed again. The success of Mason Cooper's world fusion directly caused the sacred timeline to split into the largest branch in history.
This led to the collapse of Kang's dynasty.
A third of Kang has chosen to rebel, and the Conqueror is now frantic, having to fight every one of his own on every branch of time, which is a lot busier than you think, so we'd better hurry up.
I have just cleared up my problems here and speak to you on behalf of the Conqueror.
But I don't have much time.
There is a terrible rebellion brewing in the past time stream. I must deal with this hidden danger before it happens. Tell me, Chief Arbiter, what do you want to talk to Kang? ”
"The person who caused your big problem!"
Old A was not polite, he leaned on the beach chair, crossed his legs, and said to Kang, the Quantum Lord in front of him:
"You control time and created the extremely magnificent Kang Dynasty based on the existence of the sacred timeline. However, one attempt by a young man caused your empire to collapse.
If I were you, I would choose to solve the problem from the source."
"What a typical layman's speech! I always like to point to the source of what I say from a high position, but if I really ask you to have an in-depth conversation, I won't even say shit.
Stop playing this stupid thing in front of me, and stop talking nonsense about things you don't understand. It will only expose your stupidity. ”
The Quantum Lord curled his lips disdainfully and said:
"If things were really that simple, this great rebellion would not have spread to such an uncontrollable level. You know nothing about the operation of the sacred timeline. Do you need me to take a few seconds to explain it to you?"< br>
"No need! It's going to collapse anyway! There's no point in discussing a thing that's destined to be destroyed."
Fury sneered and said:
"Kang the Conqueror and his dynasty's reasons for joining the Council of Hope have never changed. He sees better than you all. It is only a matter of time before the sacred timeline you live on collapses. What he desires is to be in the next Era controls time from the source and is reshaping a dynasty that is even greater than the current one.
I cannot understand why you are still fighting each other over a throne that is about to be burned, but please tell my words to everyone you can find.
Allies or foes, tell them that Mason Cooper will not allow them to control time in the next era without you even trying.
The only person who can give you this privilege is me. The Star of the End is the only hope for the Kang Dynasty to continue into the next era!
I don't care which Kang is in charge in the future, but if you can't control the present, there's no future. I don't understand how timelines work, and thinking about that stuff is bad for my brain.
But I know one thing.
Until you clear out the disruptors, you will never be able to unite again.
I want to assassinate Mason and eradicate the chaos he caused in the physical world and the timeline level. I have found others to participate, and you can stand by and watch.
But whether it is success or failure, it will not be your part.
Can you understand what I'm trying to say? ”
"I just think you are doing useless work"
The Quantum Lord snorted and propped up his chin with both hands. He was about to ridicule Old A who was talking nonsense about the time controllers, but unexpectedly a bullet was shot from the side, and with a bang, Old Hei's head was blown away in the energy explosion. The whole thing exploded.
The simulation effect of the holographic projection was so realistic that even the splash of blood left a dazzling trajectory.
Fury watched expressionlessly as the projection in front of him shook for a few times, and then an old man dressed in a wasteland style, Kang, stepped forward with a pistol that was still emitting smoke, and kicked the headless Quantum Lord Kang down. throne.
He didn't care about the blood on the Mechanical Throne. He sat on it and opened his hood, scolding Old A in front of him:
"You idiot! This guy is from the Kangzhi Resistance Army. He intercepted the communication signals between you and the Conqueror. You almost leaked your plan yourself."
"It doesn't matter."
Old A played with the soul gem in his hand and said casually:
"Do you think Mason can't notice the change in the situation? He knows very well what I will do, and I also know very well that all my actions cannot be hidden from him. This game is a clear sign.
It's a fight with real swords and guns, and it's a final try.
So, what is your answer to the unknown Kang in front of you? ”
"Let's join!"
Wasteland Kang sneered a few times, activated the Mechanical Throne and headed to the next point in time. In the flicker of the time vortex, he said:
"We will never be late. Although assassinating an important figure who has triggered a branch of the sacred timeline will have disastrous consequences, as you said, the sacred timeline has already begun to collapse on itself, and it is no longer a matter of keeping this window paper. Meaning.”
"唰"
Kang's projection flickered and disappeared, leaving Old A alone on the beach again. The second collaborator had been found, and their determination made Fury feel relieved for a moment.
He regained that feeling of ease and ease, and the situation in front of him reminded him of his life when he was not the Arbitrator of the Council, and he was also looking for opportunities to defeat the enemy in such adversities one after another.
At that time, he was much weaker than he is now, and the resources he could use at that time were much poorer than now. But he survived, and so many difficulties and setbacks failed to defeat him. Now facing Mason's challenge, he has the strength to What is there to be afraid of?
"Ah, the young lion is provoking the old lion king, and a war in the name of the king is about to break out on the dark grassland"
Fury looked up at the dim stars above his head, took a deep breath and said:
"If it ends with such a confrontation, it would actually be okay."
"Well, are you so desperate that you start picking out tombstones for yourself?"
A vague voice sounded in Old A's ears, but he could only hear his body but not see him. What he revealed was a horror and mystery, but the voice was gentle and persuasive, very much like an old friend from afar. Sincere greetings.
Needless to say, this way of appearing is naturally the result of those guys who love to pretend to be gods and ghosts.
"I'm too lazy to say what I said twice. What's your answer?"
Fury asked directly.
The voice that lingered in my ears with the wind was silent for a moment, and answered seriously:
"Half of us are standing on the opposite side, and the other half has no other choice. Although some people are planning to sit on the sidelines, the fact is that choosing you is more in our interests than Mason.
A god-killer cannot be friends with gods. Looking at the fate of poor Naboo, we know that Mason will not easily forget his past grudges.
So, let's join in!
We're going to give you something, something you've been craving but never been able to get your hands on. It won't kill Mason, but it will help you complete the assassination.
You must choose a user for it, a fearless warrior willing to sacrifice himself, a being who holds power and is not afraid to embrace it. ”
"There are many such people."
Old A nodded and said:
"I'll figure it out, but your uncertainty is a big problem"
"That is a problem that cannot be eradicated, dear Chief Arbitrator."
The voice said helplessly:
"The majestic figure of God is made of human thoughts. We are the conceptual body of countless thoughts, and every thought that shapes us is full of uncertainty.
We are the source of chaos and unrest, we are the fusion of past and future, we are the symbol of darkness and light.
You killed your opponents, and new ones appeared. You might as well just live with it. However, now, you and your former disciples are on both sides of the scale, just like God is under both of them at the same time. Note.
No matter who of you wins, we will not lose.
Phew, this is the privilege of being a god. ”
"It's just a simple risk hedging. You always like to make such easy-to-understand things mysterious. If I didn't really need you, I would definitely"
Old A endured the impatience in his heart and finally did not say those rude and disrespectful words, and the voice speaking for the gods also let out a light laughter, and finally sang a light flute that was very suitable for the rolling tide. disappeared on this empty beach.
Another collaborator expressed his attitude.
Another piece of strength was taken into his arms.
If this was not the beginning of a life-and-death struggle, then such a scene of unity would definitely make Old A feel happy.
It's a shame that this unity is only based on the threat posed by the same enemy.
Old A took out a watch and looked at the time. There was one last guest tonight, and the most important person on Old A's invitation list was still missing.
Maybe it's because you messed up something so you don't have the face to see him?
After all, the guy had promised that Mason would return without success, but he broke his promise.
"I guess you must be complaining about me crazily in your heart now, and you must be resenting me for not being able to do what I promised, and for choosing to be late for such an important occasion as tonight.
For a person of status, such a situation is really unseemly. ”
As Old A waited patiently, the guy finally appeared belatedly.
He walked barefoot on the delicate beach, leaving his own weird footprints and walked behind Fury. He put his black-gloved hands on the shoulders of the arbiter, making such an intimate gesture like a true friend. .
He said:
"I thought throwing a mountain on his big baby would teach him a lesson, but it turns out I may have slept too long, or maybe today's young people are not as delicate as I thought.< br>
I caused him trouble, but not as much trouble as I thought.
He staged a shocking reversal at the last moment. That scene made me, who had been watching the live broadcast, give a thumbs up and call it wonderful.
Sorry, my friend, I messed up. ”
Mephisto's sincere apology did not make Fury forget the incident. Old A said hoarsely:
"It's not that you failed, nor that you lack the ability. You are just happy to see the situation develop to this point. You are happy to see us lose our advantage. Only in this way can you take advantage of the situation.
I should have guessed it when you asked me to join the Club of Stars!
You did it on purpose, right? ”
"If you insist on my answer, I can only tell you that I was careless."
The old devil smiled and walked around the dining table and sat on the chair opposite Fury.
This guy's human form is indeed graceful and full of methodical temperament. He puts the cane engraved with a crystal skull at his hand and leans back on the beach chair very relaxedly with his hands intertwined.
His burning pupils stared at the expressionless Fury opposite.
He said:
"You asked me for help in exchange for the garden world in the hands of the council, and I helped. But my request for 'friendship' was rejected by you, which made me not so happy.
In the eyes of a life that follows tradition like me, cooperation has always been a matter of two parties. You make a request, and I make a request. Only in this way can cooperation continue through equal exchange.
You only give me 50% sincerity, and I will only do 50% of the things.
Isn't this a normal rule of the game?
As you can see, I did send Mason into a desperate situation, but the kid was lucky enough to break free. I didn't promise that I would help you deal with him, right?
That's my person!
He has my tattoo on his arm. But you don't! ”
Old A stared at the devil opposite without saying a word. The latter felt no discomfort when being stared at by such a murderous look. Probably because as a devil, he had been accustomed to such "cold violence" since he was born.
"I know you're upset, but looking on the bright side, things are really perfect for me right now."
Mephisto showed a smile and said to Old A:
"You are already in the hell of passivity. Isn't it time to show a friendly smile to the devil who can help you? You are so rude, Chief Arbiter.
You know, where I come from, the polite people would call me a bastard and a freak"
"I have no interest in the customs and customs of hell!"
Old A interrupted the old devil's chatting and said:
"I need your help. Mason can't go any further. This time the help can no longer be based on luck. I want you to do your best."
"Sorry, I refuse."
The old devil shook his head and said:
"The statute of limitations has passed. Even a person like me who longs for friendship will not waste time with a guy who is unwilling to make friends with me. It is precisely because the opportunity is only once that it is so precious.
I came here tonight to tell you that I will not be directly involved in any of your actions against Mason, not because I don't want to play anymore, but because I have to play a single game with him.
Your Excellency, Chief Arbiter, please understand that for a person who has planned to destroy the Association of Stars from the beginning, my position in his heart is much more important than yours.
So tell me your plan and see if I can use it.
I mean, we take some of the pressure off each other and stuff. "(End of Chapter)
