Chapter 633 99. Operation Code·Kill Old K and Beyond Destiny
The old devil's answer seemed full of contradictions, but in fact it was not difficult to understand.
He made it clear that he would not participate in Old A's actions, but then explained the reason. In Mephisto's view, Mason would not give up his efforts to destroy the Society of Stars. Whether Old A or not would have no impact on this .
After he officially intervened in the fusion plan, his confrontation with Mason was essentially on the agenda, but it was impossible for the old devil to place this confrontation anywhere other than his own territory.
The decisive battle between Mason and Lord Destiny will inevitably take place in a certain hell.
That was Lao Mo's territory, where he had the best chance of winning.
However, the old devil doesn't mind other people getting involved to relieve some of the pressure Mason brings to him. In other words, the old devil doesn't want Old A to succeed, but the entire plan must be centered on him.
This is of course a situation that the chief arbitrator does not want to see.
"Are you kidding me?"
Fury scolded:
"Do you think Mason is really stupid enough to start a war with both of us at the same time? He is not a person who takes risks. This kind of radical move is not in his interest, and he would not do it if he had any brains."
< br>
"Well said, of course he doesn't want to fall into the desperate situation of fighting on two fronts, but when will his will interfere with our ideas? We are not dogs that rely on others to survive. Only the freedom to act according to our own ideas can It is the most valuable privilege that a trapped person has.”
The old devil snorted and said:
"The more he is unwilling to do something, we must let him do it. If he cannot take into account both sides, he is destined to be at a disadvantage and fail in a certain confrontation.
If he loses to you, he will die.
If he loses to me, his life will be worse than death.
See, does this do us any harm? ”
"You are changing the concept. When one party wins, one party will inevitably pay a heavy price."
Old A shook his head and said:
"Although I don't want to admit it, Mason's power has become established. The concentration of power at his hands is enough to cause a qualitative change. Your proposal is good, but I will not become cannon fodder at your mercy."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how long has it been, and you still want to escape unscathed?"
The old devil sneered:
"A greedy and naive guy like you will be thrown into hell. My dear Fury, you keep saying that you will stop Mason at all costs, but I can't see that you are ready to shed blood and sacrifice." .
Do you really think he is a character who can be dismissed casually?
In addition, since I dare to propose this plan, I must have the confidence. It is too easy to induce Mason to participate in two wars at the same time.
He himself is certainly smart enough and has learned a set of damn thinking from the annoying Batman, which is enough for him to avoid most of the traps prepared for him.
But just because he's impeccable doesn't mean the same goes for those around him.
Friendship, family affection and even love.
Do you know why people who do great things can't have too many emotional ties? Because that would create all kinds of weaknesses out of thin air for a powerful person.
The release of emotions is unhealthy. ”
Mephisto raised his hand, and a rather unique candle appeared in its palm.
The candle seems to be no longer burning, but if you look carefully, there are still dancing sparks in the wick, which seems to be the last struggle not to be annihilated.
"I hid something."
He said to the wide-eyed old A:
"When I first hid it, I wanted to keep it as a collection. I didn't expect that it would be used one day, but now it seems that hiding more good things is not a bad thing.
When you need help the most, how about these treasures that have been prepared in advance and will not let you down? With this thing here, you can relax now, right?
Little Mason will take the bait.
Especially after he knows that the Garden World under the Council has fallen into my hands, he will know that there is not much time left for him.
And when he decides to give it a go, you give him a little 'Old A shock', and then a difficult choice is placed in front of the savior.
These are all the most beautiful things in the world. Which one do you think he will choose?
Tsk, choice, a key that everyone wants and thinks is a good thing but is actually full of endless torture. The more choices you have, the more painful you will be.
Because if you choose one, you are destined to lose the other.
The more choices you have, the more you have to lose.
Therefore, the most common method we devils use to seduce others is to give victims enough choices, making them think that they have the initiative and step into the trap step by step in the illusion that they can control their own lives.
Until the cruel reveal at the last moment
pain!
The difficulty of choice and the pain of loss will overwhelm them, leaving me with a delicious soul. ”
"Pa"
The old devil threw the thing in his hand to old A. The latter felt a slight pain in his fingers the moment he took it in his hand. He looked down and saw a drop of blood gushing out from the tip of his finger.
This made Fury's expression change greatly.
But then as the hot breath rose, a pattern quietly appeared on his arm.
The black lines outline the ferociousness of the devil's head. The wings on its back and the thin and twisted body lines form a circle. Under Old A's gaze, it finally formed the membership symbol of the Stars Society.
The old devil, who laughed so sinisterly that he was like a fox that had stolen Yin, dissipated in front of his eyes like smoke, and appeared behind Fury in the next moment. He put his hands on Fury's shoulders, just like he did when he appeared on the stage.
He said in Fury's ear:
"It was not easy to get you to let your guard down, but I did it in the end. Well, Nicholas Joseph Fury. Welcome to the Order of the Stars. The position I left for Mason is yours, my dear Hidden Grand Master."< br>
"You're kidding me!"
Old A clenched his fist, but the moment he punched, he heard the old devil say quietly:
"Only in this way can we trust each other! You know this is necessary, as I just said, you think you have a choice but you don't.
That's not a bad thing, you mean you don't have much to lose.
Think on the bright side, even if the Doomsday Star you have been preparing for fails, you will not have nowhere to go. When I transcend, I will take you into the next era.
If you wish, I can entrust you with the entire nascent universe.
Of course, that's for later.
Now, let's get down to the details. To trap a cunning little guy like Mason, the details have to be polished to perfection.
Let me tell you quietly, before we even begin, I've planted a stinger into the heart of Mason's camp.
Seeing blood seals the throat, it is a highly poisonous thing.
Maybe this will cheer you up? ”
——
"Mason, a strange message came in from the Garden World under the Council. I can't trace it backwards, but this message is left for you."
The morning after the enjoyable and enjoyable dinner at Gordon's House, Mason had just opened his eyes from a three-hour break on the sofa in the top office of the Afterlife Bar when he saw Barbara's holographic projection on Lights up in the office.
Bat Girl should have been preparing to go on vacation with her eldest son by now. It's really hard for her to continue working while packing her things. Of course, she has to finish the battle meeting this morning before she can go on vacation.
Mason manipulated the water body to wash up and wake up. He put on a nightgown and opened the transferred information, forming a textual projection in front of him.
Just one glance made the captain's face become serious.
This information was sent by Dr. Halsey from the tenth series of Conquerors. He explained their new discoveries to Mason, and it also represented the deterioration of the situation.
Half an hour later, in the commercial conference room on the top floor of the Afterlife Bar, all members of Team K were already here. Even the three bosses of Ultimate Team K attended the meeting as magic clones or projections.
When Kite Man sent out the gathering message to everyone before, he emphasized that this might be the last operation of Team K, so the conference room was filled with a different atmosphere at this time.
Some relaxation, some anticipation, and some heaviness.
Mason stood in front of the long table and looked at the people sitting and standing in front of him. His expression was not relaxed.
"There is sudden bad news."
The captain put his hands on the table and said to everyone looking at him:
"Our friends in the Conqueror Sequence relayed a piece of solid information that a batch of secret supplies was delivered to the many Garden Worlds under the Council last night.
It has been confirmed that it is an item with the divinity of hell and has been distributed.
Hopefully, the Council is starting to move full steam ahead with Mephisto's transcendence process.
After getting so much feedback on the concept of Garden World, Lord Destiny will complete his 'emerging butterfly' at a faster speed. It seems that our success has indeed brought great pressure to the Council, so that they have already A counterattack regardless of the outcome.
This also means we must take action. ”
Mason flicked his watch, and a combat plan drawn up by him was sent to each member's personal terminal. The name of the plan was quite concise, it was called "Beyond Destiny".
The meaning is self-evident.
"The first stage is to determine the location of Mephisto's lair, the second stage is to break into it and kill him, and the third stage is to announce that the stars will disband."
Mason said:
"The plan itself is very simple, there is nothing to say. The specific steps are in the document and you can check it out by yourself. I have assigned tasks and timetables to each team. The official action will start five days after the preliminary preparations are completed. < br>
The main problem now is external.
It can be seen from the actions of Garden World that the Hope Council will not sit back and watch our smooth progress, so we must be prepared to face them.
But I don't plan to negotiate with them. I plan to cause them some trouble, starting with the Conqueror Sequence, a violent organization under their command.
We have friends among them, maybe more than one. I will be responsible for contacting them privately to see if we can instigate rebellion, or at least let them remain neutral.
We have the gift of Utopia at hand, which means we can focus our operations on the First Order of Conquerors, disrupting their power to intimidate the Council and buy time for our operations in Hell. ”
"Old A! How will he deal with it?"
Barbara, who had already changed into loose clothes for vacation and had her suitcase next to her, raised her hand and said:
"Now everyone knows that you and Old A have an agreement about impact. Do you think he will be honest and willing to admit defeat? If he is not willing, doesn't it mean that we may have to fight on two or even three fronts? ”
"There is indeed this risk."
Mason did not hide the situation. He rubbed his chin and said to everyone:
"I will contact him first to see if I can stabilize them first, which means that I may not be able to participate in the early actions regarding Lord Destiny.
But I will launch a secret project that I have been secretly preparing for a while, which can help relieve a lot of stress for you.
The first phase of Operation Beyond Destiny is led by Zha Kang and Er Tong. If things really come to a situation where a two-front battle is necessary, I will be solely responsible for Lao A's side and will not add any more pressure to you.
But you don’t have to worry. ”
The captain said seriously:
"Even if we really have to fight on two fronts, we are not without advantages.
In fact, this plan seems to be disadvantageous to us, but if we can complete operations on two battlefields at the same time and win, this will mean that the mission of Team K ends early.
This is the final battle in the true sense, brothers and sisters of Team K.
Our not-so-long but definitely colorful story will come to an end after this battle. I don’t know what you think, but for me personally, this will be a moment of relief from this hard journey. ”
"You don't want this kind of mentality."
Zha Kang complained:
"This is just like saying your last words in advance."
"Shut up!"
Charles next to him punched him, and the others also glared at the handsome mage. Seeing the public outrage, Zha Kang could only laugh twice and say nothing more.
But he made eye contact with Mason.
Instructing Mason not to forget about the Star Castle. The information about those candles is still kept secret, but it cannot be hidden forever. This thing is a time bomb.
Once it detonates at an unfavorable moment, it will absolutely blow everyone involved into pieces.
Mason nodded inaudibly, indicating that he had not forgotten this hidden danger.
But he didn't mention it in this meeting. In the next twenty minutes, the captain went through the outline of the plan in the document and confirmed that each team understood their tasks and had an action plan. Afterwards, he adjourned the meeting.
Mason glanced at the time and said to the others:
"Now, everyone can enjoy a rare vacation and visit the new world we have personally pushed and shaped, but please do not go to dangerous areas or you will not be able to make it back in time in five days.
Please stay with some members of Ultimate K Team. I have other things to tell you. Others can leave the meeting. ”
The sound of chairs and the floor suddenly sounded in the conference room. Team members like Barbara who had planned a vacation had already dragged their suitcases and left humming. Others who had no plans planned to rest on the spot and go downstairs to have a drink in the bar. Then flirt with the android ladies and stuff like that.
Kite Man was going to pick up the kids from school and take Selina, who was already suffering from mild morning sickness, back to Wayne Manor to recuperate.
The Kryptonian trio left together as usual, Zod and Kara were talking, and Bizarro, who had regained his sanity under the influence of blue kryptonite, was still happy to be a light bulb next to them.
Everyone in the Young K Team made an appointment to go to the Fox Nest to visit the Stark Legion and see the situation of Tony No. 7, but Damian didn't go.
The little madman has an appointment today.
He wanted to explore the vampire world with his female friend who always wore a cloak and looked very silent. He should go on a trip to relax and bring some gifts to his second brother.
Mason is also pleased to see that his team members have their own lives, which means that they can quickly return to the focus of life after the K-Team is disbanded.
"What are you going to say if you leave us?"
Hei Qiqi asked in an indifferent tone. The boss was still recovering from his injuries, and his magic clone seemed a little out of breath.
"A very important thing."
Mason retracted his gaze and looked at the three bosses. He moved his fingers and said:
"I would like to ask you to allocate part of your energy to find the base world of the Hope Council while preparing to attack the old devil's base camp. That place is kept very closely guarded. But if the war from the outside world cannot burn their homeland, they will think about it. I will always sit back and watch with something I shouldn’t have.
They need to be made aware of the reality of the situation so that they can make a choice. ”
"What happens after you find it?"
Frog Picture did not refuse this request, a former observer asked:
"What are you going to do to that world?"
"It won't be destruction, don't worry."
Mason stood up and said:
"The world itself is innocent, and it should also be integrated into the new sea of stars. That is its power. But everything should have a beginning and an end, just as the end of the dark age should also have a relatively satisfactory ending. .
We want to leave behind a pure new world, and let these ashes of the old era pass away with the wind. ”
"Are you really not going to let anyone go?"
Heiqi snorted, stood up and said:
"Want to know what answers I got from Black Apple?"
"I've always been curious."
Mason blinked and looked at the boss.
Hei Qiqi also looked at him, and after a few seconds of silence, said:
"A new world will come, but I don't see you in it"
Mason was stunned for a moment.
Then he showed a smile and said:
"But that's not a bad thing, right?" (End of Chapter)
