Chapter 662 29. The war that determines the future in the past is how time travelers fight
Ciri quickly brought Queen Gollum to the area where Mason was.
But when they jumped out of the silver crack, they were both shocked by the sight in front of them. The original ecological area was gone, leaving only a terrifying "sinkhole".
Everything extending from the center of the circle three hundred meters underground to all directions was decomposed and annihilated by the violent phoenix power. The rubble was suspended into the shape of a broken star ring, and waves of dangerous power devoured everything.
This range is still expanding, like an invisible glutton feeding on this world.
Ciri stood at the edge of the area affected by the Phoenix Force and looked down. The energy erupting from Madeleine's body had dug up the ground and extended to the center of the earth. High-temperature magma was splashing, but this destructive thing would still be destroyed. The Phoenix Power engulfs and decomposes.
And her little lover was at the center of the burning black-red flame, pressing Madeline's shoulders in a restraining posture. The latter was struggling crazily and roaring like a beast, but was unable to escape from its ultimate form. Mason broke free from his hands, and the super energy brought by the Star Emperor's Heart Processor made Mason feel like Superman standing in the corona of the sun.
But that is also a place only he can set foot on.
"Gulu. (How did it become like this? We are late.)"
The fallen Iron-Blooded Gollum, who had been quietly brought here earlier when Mason came for the appointment but had been waiting in the surrounding ruins, looked at the scene in front of him in despair.
Even if she didn't know much about the Phoenix Force, she knew that her best friend had entered an irreversible self-destruction.
"I heard Mason say what happened in Utopia."
Xili grabbed Gulu and kept retreating to a safe area. In the increasingly majestic rainstorm, she whispered:
"You shouldn't have let her escape at that time. From what I know about Mason, that was the last chance he gave Madeleine, and she obviously didn't take it."
"Grrrr! (That's not her fault. Wait! Look at him! Something's not right with him!)"
Gulu wanted to argue a few words, but then she realized something was wrong. She grabbed Ciri's wrist with her backhand, pointed at Mason who was restraining Madeleine, and exclaimed.
When the hunter looked up, his expression changed drastically.
Mason's body is "flickering" strangely, like a soap bubble about to burst, constantly changing between solidity and illusion.
Even the light from the surroundings would pass through his body at some point, as if it was about to disappear.
"It's Kang the Conqueror!"
Xili gritted her teeth and said:
"It's a vicious attack on the time level. I knew that bastard director wouldn't miss this opportunity. They knew they had no chance of winning, so they wanted to kill Mason in the past to seek victory in the present.
What a bunch of bastards! ”
"Gollum? (But isn't Mason's future constant?)"
The queen widened her eyes and said:
"Gulu! (Will a person who is beyond destiny also be affected by time?)"
"He is just the only one, he has not transcended."
Xili clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand, and looked back at the clouds gathering behind her, hiding their heads and tails, and the sneaky gods. She said coldly:
"Don't let these bastards get close! They may want to choose Madeline as the wielder of the Black Death Sword. We didn't bring you here just to watch the show, Gulu!
superior! ”
——
In the yellow sand of the space distortion zone of the Utopia planet, Kang, the berserker armed with high-tech cold weapons, is engaged in a fatal fight with Wally West.
Outside the battlefield between the two of them, there was a dazzling light flashing through an area of extremely low visibility. It was Ms. Janet who was attacking several other Kangs who came to assassinate her, and further away there was a flickering and distorted time. The tunnel is slowly closing, and several cunning Kangs have retreated to the edge of the tunnel, ready to run away with their feet greased.
This area has been extracted from the world by the god Lord Doom using special power, resulting in very serious spatial distortion. Therefore, the battle between the berserker Kang and Wally will always be sent into a completely disrupted space structure after each move.
However, this does not affect the two guys who have a profound understanding of time to continue fighting.
A few kilometers away from them, a golden arc of light was erupting in the sky, and the gray smoke could not block the dazzling light.
"Wally! Mason has just drank the incomplete Million Star Potion at this point in time and is about to enter his weakest moment. He must persist until Doom is repelled and the horde is released."
Ms. Janet's shout sounded in Wally Bai's helmet, adding a bit of pressure to the speedster.
He hit the berserker Kang in front of him at super speed, but the latter's figure disappeared in place in the shattering like an optical projection, which made Wally even more irritated.
Kang is a pretty unique villain.
His body itself is not particularly powerful, but through the black technology of the future era, he successfully used his own damn time theory to allow himself to exist at countless points in time at the same time and formed his Kang Dynasty.
Such an enemy is quite difficult even for a speedster.
Because all attacks against him will be predicted by him in the future and responded to in the present. Even if he misses, it doesn't matter. Anyway, a new Kang will appear every second. This means that this guy has gained insight into the operation of the sacred timeline. In a sense, true "eternal life" has been achieved.
And because this guy has experienced countless battles, he is good at using black technology and knows how to face enemies with different abilities. In Mason's words, this guy is a guy who relies on his brain to fight. He is good at using cunning wisdom to become He defeated an opponent who seemed low-key but was actually quite difficult to deal with.
Like a bad version of Batman that can travel through time.
Faced with Ms. Janet's urging, Wally responded while relocating the traces of assassin Kang in the time stream:
"It's not enough for us to stop them here. Everyone in the Lightning family has sent a battle signal. This means that we are fighting the same enemy on different timelines.
This feeling is terrible.
It turns out that Kang has gone completely crazy. He has now abandoned the taboo of time and no longer cares about the negative impact his actions will have on the sacred timeline.
He can appear in every second of Mason's past life. How should we defend ourselves from this? ”
"Don't despair, Kang is not invincible, otherwise we will all die by now."
Ms. Janet was very calm.
While chasing down several variants of Kang that she had beaten, she said calmly:
"I said before when assigning mission areas that Kang's own strength may be his biggest weakness. You have to remember that after stripping away those seemingly cool and scary black technologies, he is just an ordinary person, while Mason is in high school. The advantage in technology is no greater than that of Kang Xiao. His superb knowledge in various fields and his own caution make him less easily defeated
Therefore, Kang would never choose to assassinate Mason when he was in his prime!
The important node is Mason's weakest moment in his past life, when he has no power to fight back and only needs a dagger or a bullet to take him away.
I've known Mason longer than you, and I understand that young man better than you do, and I can tell you that Mason has been avoiding that situation ever since he set out on this road.
And he told me all the time periods that we need to defend before setting off. The task range I assigned to you is the time point when something is most likely to happen.
Secondly, although Kang's connection at various points in time gives him nearly unlimited resources and power, he also has his own opponents to deal with.
Rebellion has always been a repertoire of the Kang Dynasty. They did not dare to send more forces to hunt down Mason. This would directly lead to problems in their base camp and other Kangs would steal their homes.
The power they can use in this operation is limited.
Guard every position! Don't be tempted by the cunning Kang to pursue us. We are defending and protecting, not to defeat Kang or kill him.
The sacred timeline is still there, Kang will not die, don't do useless work!
Countdown to three seconds.
The last three seconds!
Hold on! ”
Janet's shout made Wally start running on the spot, and in the next moment he arrived at the outskirts of where Mason was at this point in time.
He was hiding behind a suspended boulder. Looking down, he could see that Mason, who had transformed into a golden sentinel, was punching the mysterious white-clothed Doom. It seemed that he was going to crush Doom to ashes, but in fact, the power of the fist landed. Accurately lock on the biological capsule half-buried in the ruins of the spacecraft behind Doom.
The moment the punch was thrown, Mason's breath dropped obviously.
As Wally watched, three Kangs appeared almost at the same time to kill Mason, but Wally, who was waiting, pounced on him and rolled up the three assassin Kangs into the distance.
"Bang"
A large group of biological tanks shattered, and the freedom of the strongest mutants also meant that Mason at this point in time had spent the most dangerous moment.
Under the protection of a large group of people, Kang didn't dare to show up to assassinate him no matter how big his heart was.
"Done!"
Wally ran back to Ms. Janet's side. He watched the three Kangs who were beaten away screaming and jumping into the unfolding time rift. He also glanced at the corpses of several Kang transformations lying scattered at the feet of the Wasp. I couldn't help but stick out my tongue.
Hello!
You just said that it was pointless to insist on hunting down these variants of Kang. How did you become such a cold-blooded killer of Kang in the blink of an eye? Moreover, the gesture of gunshots and headshots looks like a personal grudge!
"Ka"
Ms. Janet didn't care what Wally thought. She stuffed a new energy magazine into her Causal Law wrist cannon, pulled up the mask of her very "wasteland style" Wasp suit, and kicked it. Kang's body, which was under his feet, turned to Wally and ordered:
"This is just the first wave of attacks. From what I know about Kang, he won't let it go.
Let me remind you that Kang will learn from each of his failures and rework his tactics around your movement patterns, meaning this defense will only get harder and harder.
You may be able to travel through time, but that's not enough for Kang, time is his ally!
So it must be hard.
But you must stay here, and after each round, return to the starting point of time and continue to defend until I capture the commander of Kang's Legion at a certain point in the past and completely end this time pursuit. ”
"Won't Kang's true form come?"
Wally asked curiously:
"And why are you so familiar with his affairs? Were you friends with Kang before?"
"You might as well ask more frankly, you dirty little boy."
The old aunt glanced at Wally, then looked back at the unpleasant desert landscape. Her thoughts seemed to have returned to the past.
After a few seconds of silence, she said quietly:
"I don't deny that I once had a relationship with Kang. It was the darkest and most desperate time in my life, and that cunning bastard also entered my life at that time. My despair prompted me to make a move. A decision I regret very much.
Being trapped in the quantum realm with him is like two trapped animals locked in the same cell. It is normal to support each other in that situation.
For years, I viewed it as part of a dark life that had to be forgotten, convincing myself to forget the details that made me feel sick.
I don't deny that the appearance of Kang the Conqueror may really have something to do with me, although the Kang I know may have died in the never-ending battle between them.
Mason knows all this.
I don’t know how he learned about it, but he didn’t take the initiative to ask me to help him. Obviously he knew the impact of that experience on me.
I thank him for helping me hide this secret, but maybe it’s time to say goodbye to the past in a serious manner.
I will end this once and for all on this trip.
You, stay here! ”
Ms. Janet flexed her fingers and said:
"I'm going to continue to go back in time to the next Mason's 'Fragile Life' node, Wally, I don't want to put pressure on you, but it is the fact"
"I understand."
Wally Bai was feeling guilty at the moment. He was a kind man. From the tone and expression of Ms. Janet's words just now, he knew that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked.
He very seriously promised:
"Actually, we also have our own judgment methods. You know that Mason has provoked Black Lightning, and Black Lightning is the God of Death of the Speed Force. Ordinary death cannot catch up with the Speedster, so the appearance of Black Lightning means that we will die. .
That guy is very vindictive.
Mason humiliated it so that it would not allow Mason to die an ordinary death, so we all agreed that Mason was absolutely safe at any point in time when Black Lightning did not appear.
At least that's the case so far. ”
"This is indeed a useful detail."
Ms. Janet nodded, took out a jar of Pym particles and put it into the "time travel device" on her waist. This was a specially customized device by the scientists at Fox Nest for this operation.
She waved goodbye to Wally and then disappeared into the rapidly shrinking point of light, while the Speedster stayed in place watching the conversation between Mason and the large group in the distance.
After confirming that the two guys hadn't noticed him, Wally took a deep breath and entered the Speed Force tunnel, and appeared at the previous time a few seconds later.
Almost the moment he jumped out of the Speed Force tunnel, an assassin team 2.0 consisting of seven Kang appeared again.
The leader is still the berserker Kang!
"Bah, the kid in red!"
The guy was carrying a strange-shaped cannon and aimed it at Wally, and he shouted:
"I won't let you run away so easily this time. You can win countless times, but we only need to win once! Idiot, time is our domain, and you broke into this deadly hunting ground.
Die! ”
"Boom"
A ball of energy that could interfere with the Speed Force hit Wally in the next moment, and everyone laughed and thought that the bastard had been killed.
But after the light dissipated, what appeared in front of them was a set of red and yellow, very cool Savitar-type Speed Force armor with personalized adjustments in the details.
Wally, who was wrapped in the armor, moved his limbs comfortably. He took out a digital bomb from the weapon slot of the armor and said sarcastically to the dumbfounded assassin Kangs in front of him:
< br>
"Are you sure you want to compete with the Mason family in black technology? Hey, how deep Mason's equipment pool is is still an unsolved mystery, and he opened up all the weapons arsenal for us before setting off, bastards!
All I can say is that you picked the wrong opponent. "(End of Chapter)
