Chapter 666 33. The life of Madeline the tool
The fire of the phoenix burned everything, and the annihilation field destroyed the stars. Although the black phoenix was temporarily suppressed, the black flames that kept jumping out of Madeline Pryor still clung to the surroundings and eroded continuously. This was the creation of the world. The most intuitive system.
It wants to return the unbalanced world to the flames ignited for the future before the individual carrying this out-of-control power is burned up, recycle the energy and spread the warm ashes throughout the dark star sea.
The rampage of the Phoenix Power is infecting the foundation of this ruined base world. The sinkholes that are annihilating downwards have penetrated the mantle layer. The dark flames are like the veins of destruction that continue in the planet. In it, When it erodes to the core of the earth, it only takes one powerful shock to completely destroy the entire world.
This is also the "self-rescue" plan that Mason is promoting.
At this time, there are still six minutes before the arrival of global neutron annihilation, and the captain can be sure that neutron annihilation is only the most "gentle" of all the treatments that Old A left for him.
"Warning! Data pollution! Warning!"
As Madeleine and Gollum hugged each other to say goodbye, the power armor on Mason's body, who retreated to his side, emitted a sharp beep. This represented that the heart of the Star Emperor, which became more active when fighting against the Phoenix Force, was infusing the power armor. At the same time, the power also began to infect the AI of this armor.
The captain made a decisive decision to format all databases and ordered the AI to self-destruct.
He didn't want to see what the Lord of the Universe's power armor looked like when he rebelled. This set of power armor was so deadly in his own hands, and how troublesome it was when it became an enemy.
"Pa"
The black Star Emperor's Heart Processor was taken off from the armor by Mason. It quickly returned to its original appearance in Mason's hand. The shining silver armor also bounced away at this moment, allowing Mason to step out of it and then it It folded on its own and was recycled into a special storage tank.
This set of power armor cannot be used at risk until Unicron's data contamination is cleared.
This worried Ciri very much.
She said:
"The battle is not over yet. Not using it will expose you to more risks."
"No, it's over."
Mason held Ciri's waist and looked at Madeleine and Gulu in front of him. He whispered:
"The failure to kill me before Black Phoenix regained its sanity proved that Old A's last killing move was ineffective. Emma's consciousness is still in Madeline's heart. With her stabilizing the Red Queen's last sanity, Black Phoenix's next A rampage is when it dies.
Madeleine.
My sister has never been short of decisions, and her appearance here means that she has made up her mind, and she finally chooses to hold her destiny in her own hands.
This may be the best ending for her sad and deplorable life. ”
Ciri nodded.
She learned about Madeleine’s story from Mason, and she didn’t want to comment too much on the Red Queen’s fate, but when the battle came to an end, she raised her head and asked:
"I just saw you feeding Dark Phoenix something. What was it?"
"Secret."
Mason smiled mysteriously.
He looked at Madeline, who was doing her best to suppress the out-of-control Phoenix Force, and said:
"But you soon saw it for yourself."
The Red Queen's farewell to Gollum did not last long. Her situation no longer allowed her to tell more about her best friend, but tears were already falling from Gollum's eyes.
Although it is somewhat unnecessary to make sarcastic remarks in this situation, the way the Predator looks when crying is really bad. Their tear glands may not be designed to shed fragile tears.
"They are still peering into the battlefield."
Shirley pointed to the distance. At this time, the heavy rain controlled by Mason had ended, but the gods were still visible above the clouds in the not-clear sky.
They were obviously waiting for a chance to fight back.
They know, and Mason also knows, that this opportunity will eventually fall on Madeline, and the way it will take effect does not even need to be guessed to know that it will definitely use the Black Death Sword to make a fuss.
Speaking of which, Mason's Black Death Sword fragment swore that it would win when fighting its own kind, but it's been so long and there's still no news from that guy.
Well, there's a high probability that he was screwed. How could the Trail Blazers, who was holding such a sword in his mouth, have such a weak sword?
"Ignore them."
The captain waved his hand and said:
"They are never the key factor that determines the outcome. Even if I don't wear power armor and just rely on my artifact-level clothes, they can't do anything to me, right?
What the hell is going on? ”
Before Mason could finish speaking, he heard a violent sonic boom exploding from behind. He and Shirley looked back in surprise and saw a figure wrapped in a red cloak roaring into the sky from under the ruins in the distance.
The arrogance of his posture is very much like that of a Super Chao who has entered a fighting state. After rushing into the clouds, crimson heat rays burst out from the clouds. Such a headstrong rush into the hiding place of the gods is obviously provoking a fight, and in Behind the guy in the lead, a large group of people in strange clothes also rushed out from their hiding place.
The "Storm" in black clothes, similar to the storm girl, rushed into the clouds, and the "counterattack prelude" of the local indigenous people was played amidst the lightning and thunder.
Ciri also saw Queen Maeve, who was scared away by Mason before, among them. The latter was grabbing a particle cannon removed from the base's defense system and shooting into the sky.
The gods did not expect that the attack would come from these guys who were supposed to be allies.
They were caught off guard. Facing these professional heroes who were enhanced by the improved version of Compound No. 5, although they had the upper hand, they would not be able to defeat them for a while.
"What are you doing?"
Lord Hunter widened his eyes and said:
"Is there internal strife? At this time?"
"No, this is surrender."
Mason narrowed his eyes, rubbed his chin and said:
"It seems that Azu has made up his mind. Perhaps he saw with his own eyes that Old A's layout was penetrated by me layer by layer, so he realized who would win this ambush battle.
Don't expect anything from the character of these people.
Although they look like the Justice League and the Avengers, they regard the profession of heroes as a profession. Their loyalty depends on their interests and there are not many idealistic things in them.
It is a very useful mercenary warrior.
They don't want to die in the global neutron annihilation that Old A is about to start, and they don't want to be buried with this world in ruins, so there is only one choice left for them. ”
"Bang"
As soon as the captain finished speaking, Azu, holding a human head, whizzed down in front of him, suspended in the air in a superhuman posture. The head belonging to Apollo in his hand was still dripping blood, but the other hand was He held his abdomen firmly.
His still handsome face was extremely distorted. It was the glorious demeanor that one should have after winning the intestinal speed skating championship, and it was the last stubbornness that he tried his best to prevent dirt from staining his pants.
He gritted his teeth and stared at Mason, and said through his teeth:
"We took action. As you wish, we are willing to follow you, but now, give me the antidote! Damn it! I was buried in the toilet just now and almost died in the hands of that terrible Dark Phoenix.
This is the worst death gesture I can think of, it's so stupid! ”
"If you die so easily, then what's the point of recruiting you? Mr. Iron Gut."
Mason didn't hide his gloating expression. He took out a tube of potion from his combat belt and threw it over. Azu took it in his hand and opened the lid without caring whether there were other weird things inside. He raised his head and drank it. .
Then a pleasant sound came from his mouth. He seemed to have regained his consciousness and made a bad gesture to Mason. He then made a sudden gesture in the air and rushed back to the battlefield in the cloud.
He does understand that if you want to escape, you have to work hard. It seems that it is not unreasonable to become the top hero of Walter Company.
"Dachao will definitely refuse to admit that such a guy is also a superman."
Lord Hunter said quietly:
"He is far from this title in every aspect."
"However, Azu is just a sincere person. If you know what he has done, it is not difficult to find that this guy is a giant baby who is immature in mind but always longs to be respected.
Lower, uglier, but also more real. ”
Mason no longer paid attention to the battle between the group of professional heroes and the gods behind him. He glanced at his watch. There were still three minutes left before the neutron kill countdown. At this time, the Death Star battle fortress teleported from outside the planet's orbit had already been opened. The light track began to lock onto the target. The weapons arsenal of this thing was fully opened, and all kinds of destructive objects were put into the delivery port.
In order to ensure that Mason died here today, even two dozen anti-matter bombs used to create miniature black holes were loaded.
Once the killing begins, these intimidating things will be thrown on the head of the captain.
But Mason no longer paid attention to it.
"I'm leaving."
Madeline pushed Gollum away and put a necklace that was close to her body into her hand. It was the last relic that the Red Queen brought with her when her world was destroyed.
She looked back at Mason.
Her body has begun to shine with black light, which is a sign that the power of the Dark Phoenix can no longer be suppressed, making her look like a fission bomb about to explode.
"Get out!"
She raised her hand and said to the captain and the hunter:
"I will guide the energy of the Black Phoenix to the core of the star, blow up the world and tear apart the time and space blockade here. That is your last chance to leave.
It's only a few seconds, but I'm sure you can catch it.
Your name is Fox, right? ”
Madeleine looked at the burping wild phoenix standing on Mason's shoulder, and she called:
"Come here and devour as much Phoenix Power as possible, before these fall into Doom's hands after my death."
"啾啾啾"
The always greedy Wild Phoenix looked at the pure Phoenix power gathered in Madeline's hand. The thing was still delicious to it, but it stood on Mason's shoulder and shook its head wildly.
There was a sense of despair and resistance in those black onyx eyes.
Can't eat anymore.
Except for the organs necessary to maintain life, its body is already filled with the condensed power of the Phoenix. If it takes a few more bites, it will definitely die.
Although this will also trigger the Phoenix's passive nirvana and rebirth, Fox is just greedy and not stupid, so it will not seek death in the pain of being stretched to death.
"Perhaps we should expect Lord Doom to eat these Phoenix Powers."
Mason shook his head and said:
"That will temporarily satisfy his fairy power, but the biggest problem with that power is that it is never satisfied. Its tranquility will not even last for more than a week, and then its greedy nature will expand again to the point where even a Doom can't The level of control finally made the bastard who caused countless tragedies reap the consequences.
This may be your last and best revenge on him. ”
Madeline was stunned for a moment, then showed a fierce smile and nodded. She had no more doubts, and then let go of the suppression of the Dark Phoenix's power.
In an instant, those dangerous black flames ignited again, and Madeline rushed to the ground in a chaotic and out-of-control micro-operation. The whole earth shook violently, and the light erupted from the underground followed the torn crust and surged into the sky.
This is the anger when the star core is ignited, and it is also a precursor to the tearing of the world.
"Kill him!"
Odin's roar sounded above the clouds, and then a black light roared down from the sky, parting the light and bringing flying clouds straight to the ground.
In the eruption of cold breath, countless black streams of light projected in the material world were scattered, exposing the Black Death Sword wrapped in it to Madeline's eyes.
That's the complete Black Death Sword.
There is an arc-shaped hollow on the streamlined sword body, and the entire body is dark, showing the characteristics of the most primitive blade-like weapon, but if you look closely, the seemingly smooth sword body is completely composed of symbionts that are constantly surging.
They are attached to the sword body and never rest in peace, and the call from Nar, the god of darkness, turns into evil laughter, covering everyone present with the shadow of despair.
Mason and Ciri's shadows rebelled, and these dark things turned into tentacles to fix the two in the flickering and surging shadows.
The black phoenix in front of her seemed to be called by the Black Death Sword. She stretched out her hand and grasped the cold hilt of the sword. The collision of the power of the phoenix and the power of darkness formed scattered dark haloes on her fingers.
"Kill him!"
The roar from Old A echoed in Madeline's heart. This was an order given to Dark Phoenix, and it was also the perfect ending that the Arbiter most wanted to see.
"唰"
The evil and dangerous blade was raised and aimed at Mason who was bound to the earth.
The fragments of the Black Death Sword are a must-kill weapon for enemies with divinity, but the complete Black Death Sword possesses more than just anti-divine properties. It has destructive power against everything that is not dark.
According to Mason's estimation, even the Lord of the Universe's power armor would be greatly reduced in defense when faced with such vicious stars.
"Do it, Madeleine."
Mason spread his hands on the spot, protecting Ciri by his side.
He said to the sword-wielding man burning in the black flames:
"Don't pay attention to Emma's nonsense. This is ultimately a matter between you and me. The decision is now in your hands. Choose an ending for your life with your own hands.
What I want to tell you is that when we first met, when you called me your brother, I was really happy, although things took a turn for the worse afterwards.
At least in that moment, I realized that I was not alone. ”
"This is such a bad farewell, Mason. I'm really sorry for everything I did to you. Let me die to express my regret."
The multi-resonant voice came out of Black Phoenix's mouth. Her burning black pupils glanced at Mason for the last time, and then she swung the sharp blade and pierced her heart amidst the screams of Gollum from behind.
Decisive, precise and deadly.
The moment the heart was pierced, the body's vitality quickly began to burn.
The Black Phoenix is also roaring to repair Madeleine's broken heart, but the Black Death Sword's exterminating massacre of all life makes death come extremely simply.
So Madeleine's body burned, and the black light burst out of her fallen body with a weird roar, turning into a black phoenix that covered the sky and screamed at Mason. This malicious Chaos wants to take away the life in front of him.
But the second before it came into contact with Mason, the call from the fighting world drained him dry in a greedy and eager manner, and was swallowed by another monster to satisfy the desire of the mouth and tongue.
The scorching power is dissipating.
Mason, who was wearing the "Reverse Phoenix Windbreaker", just raised his hand and waved to make the black arc light dissipate, and he strode towards Madeleine's body.
The burned bones were scattered in the form of ashes in the shock of the collapse of the world. Mason squatted down and pushed aside the ashes, looking for something in them.
At the same time, in Madeleine's spiritual world, in the warm living room where everything collapsed, Emma held the weak Madeleine in her arms, humming a lullaby to her, as if to comfort her daughter who had been miserable all her life. Sleep peacefully.
"I'm leaving."
The Red Queen closed her eyes in Emma's arms. She could feel the call of death. When she was overwhelmed by irresistible weakness, she whispered:
"You are a good mother, but it is a pity that I met you too late."
"Don't be afraid, child."
Emma lowered her head and kissed Madeline's forehead as she disappeared, and she said:
"We finally meet again in the world of death. At that time, I will try to be a good mother, I promise."
"I was not looking forward to the future."
Madeleine's last consciousness dissipated like soap bubbles, and she whispered in Emma's ear:
"But please take a look for me at the new world that Mason has brought, if we can meet again there."
She's gone.
The White Queen stood up in despair, looking at the collapsed room. She wiped her eyes before sending her daughter off for the last journey, preparing to take back her spiritual power.
But in the next second, Emma suddenly turned back.
She saw it
That was Mason's last gift to Madeleine. (End of chapter)
