Chapter 673 40. Is mere death a reason not to do good things?
"哐"
The captain in silver armor turned over and landed in the dark castle. The force of his fall was so fast that the floor beneath his feet shattered and he fell all the way to the deepest part of the castle.
His feet landed firmly on the ground, sending flying dust flying into the sky.
The flight backpack pendant on the back detached with a click, and hit the ground to extend a crawler-type mobile device. In a cool transformation, it opened the weapon bay to create a rail turret, transforming into two automatic turrets and connected to the self-discipline of the Lord of the Universe's power armor. model.
There are also silver-gray spherical drones that have also separated from the armor and are floating around Mason. The ring matrix in front of it has begun to accumulate energy, just like eyeballs suspended in the air.
This is the firepower unit Brainiac designed for this set of power armor. It is a very effective means of group attack, but it is a waste if it falls into the hands of Mason.
The main reason is that the commander-in-chief uses this armor as a defensive equipment, and most of the time he doesn't use its attack module.
But things are different now.
In the Devil's Castle in the hell dimension, of course there are all kinds of "specialties" from hell. No, as soon as Mason landed, hundreds of ferocious hell hounds appeared from the darkness and rushed toward him, and then in the present His body was instantly beaten into a disgusting sieve of flesh by the volley of particle cannons and magnetic rail impact.
Mason looked around.
He knew that at this moment, he should first clear out the surrounding resistance coalition forces that were moving towards the castle, gather superior forces, rush into the old devil's lair, and crush him to death.
But the problem is that he doesn't have much time to wait.
On the way over, Barbara reported to him that the war in Star Castle was ignited. More and more pioneers were moving towards Star Castle. It was impossible to keep them calm under the threat of candlelight. thing.
If it drags on for too long, casualties will be inevitable.
But what is the point of this meaningless death other than to please the devil?
"Kakaka"
The Ragnarok pistol continuously transforms into a portable heavy assault rapid-fire cannon in the power armor's gauntlet. After obtaining the Cybertronian mechanical components, Mason modified the gun to make it more diverse in its transformation.
Don't expect the arrogant Black Death Sword to come forward to deal with these hellish creatures in front of you. Even if it is complete, it is still not willing to show its power to these creatures that it has no interest in.
Six all-terrain rotating firepower devices based on the Predator's hunting particle cannon were also activated, resembling "light wings spread" supported by connecting rods behind the power armor.
This turned Mason into a mobile turret. No matter how many strange things jumped out of the cold castle in front of him, they would be cleared away under such firepower.
"Oh my, there are guests in my dilapidated house. You should at least notify me in advance and let me clean up those unsightly things to welcome the guests."
The old devil was clearly gritting his teeth but insisted on pretending to be calm. A strange voice sounded as Mason stepped into the castle hall. The temperature here was extremely high, so it seemed that he was very close to Mephisto's lair.
But just like the rule that all dungeons must go through a "parliamentary battle" before facing the final BOSS, Mason has to pass another level to open the way to Mephisto's "boudoir".
"Are you in pain?"
Mason raised his head and looked at the humanoid projection of Mephisto that appeared on the high platform in front of the hall. The latter looked unscathed and full of energy.
But the captain flipped off his visor and sarcastically said:
"Don't bear it if it hurts. No one will laugh at you if you scream. We bastards are always very tolerant of lonely old devils who are dying."
"What? Do you feel honored to kill your little wife with your own hands?"
When it comes to talking nonsense, the old devil has never been afraid of anyone. He retorted very viciously:
"I admit that I was wrong, Mason Cooper. I thought that Siriya and her love could hinder your steps to greatness and excellence. However, your cold-bloodedness still exceeded my imagination as a devil.< br>
I guess Xilia didn't suffer much pain when she died, so is this the last tenderness you gave her?
Or is it that, in fact, all the feelings between you and Xili are just part of one of your "anti-poor old devil tactics"?
You took advantage of that poor girl!
Let her be so obsessed with you that you can create a weakness out of thin air that can be caught by someone who wants to, and poor old A and I were the fools who jumped into the trap.
This can explain why Xili, who is deeply in love, proposed to you again and again but was coldly rejected by you.
You don't love her at all.
You're just using her!
You cold-blooded little bastard. ”
"What a great hell joke. I want to record this lovely story, and I will definitely tell it to Shirley when I meet her again."
Mason laughed.
I just felt that the old devil in front of me was probably dizzy because of the rage. However, considering that Hei Qiqi was also mocking this old guy for not understanding love just now, it is understandable that he would make such a ridiculous inference now.
Human beings cannot describe colors they have not seen before, and the same goes for devils! Nor can they comprehend what they never had.
"Ah, why is everything about Mason so bad!"
To be honest, Mephisto is indeed a bit defensive.
But after all, he was a very professional cold-blooded villain, so he quickly calmed down. He looked up and down at Mason's extremely cool set of power armor, and felt that this thing was a big trouble.
Then he rolled his eyes and sneered again. In his iconic laughter, Mephisto's projection stretched out his hand and flicked it, and a large ball of light like fireflies was thrown into the air in front of him.
They are candles that are still burning without the body of the candle. Each one represents a soul belonging to the stars.
Of course, a guy of Old Devil's caliber doesn't want just any soul. Those who can be carefully collected by him are some very powerful or unique guys.
"I want to prepare under my throne to welcome the great savior and saint of hope to my humble abode, and then I will let you play with these collections.
Just to kill some time. ”
Mephisto's projected cane hit the ground, and with a crisp impact, those light spots kept beating and shaped human shapes one after another in the air.
The power belonging to the hell dimension is poured into them, allowing them to quickly shape into evil entities.
The first thing that caught Mason's eyes was Batman, the final knight wearing a tattered black cape and a cool dragon skin armor. The sonic ax in his hand was wrapped with hellfire and looked extremely ferocious.
Behind him are Pharaoh and Hive, who also died in the world war, and even Wesker and Red Skull, who died long ago.
They are all A-level personnel!
Not only the A-class personnel who have interacted with Mason, but also all the A-class members who died unexpectedly during the past seventeen years of exploration before Mason joined the Stars Society are here.
All they have left is their souls, but the Devil's Palace has its own magical power, and even the souls will gain full or even enhanced combat power here.
"They think death is the end of service, they think death brings freedom! But no, the souls of the hounds belong to me!
So does your unique and wonderful soul. ”
Mephisto shouted from above:
"Fight with your seniors. A-class member Mason Cooper, maybe I should give you the title of 'Pioneering Grand Mentor'. After all, you personally eliminated the previous Grand Mentor.
Huh, I'll enjoy the sarcasm. ”
"I didn't see the warlock."
Mason shrugged and said to the arrogant old devil:
"Of course Ciri is not in your hands. You can't control everyone, even if you firmly believe you can, but do you know the saddest part about this?
Your so-called manipulation is just an illusion of strength. They have already broken free once, how difficult can it be the second time? ”
"Poof"
As soon as the captain finished speaking, the final knight in front of him swung his battle ax with the decisiveness of a young man and chopped down the honeycomb next to him. This seemed to be what he had always wanted to do.
The unprepared attack directly caused the latter's soul to fly away, leaving only a miserable wailing that lingered like a lingering sound for three days, and this guy's attack was so cruel that the old devil's laughter was strangled in his throat.
The soul contract is still in effect, but the power of this curse has been difficult to control those already determined souls after being weakened by death.
"It doesn't matter! It's just cannon fodder!"
Mephisto did not intend to stay here and continue to embarrass himself. He felt that the situation was starting to get crazy and out of control. It was more important to prepare early, so he said a word and disappeared, and went to prepare some tricks under his throne. Come and deal with the final PK with Mason.
After he left, the commander-in-chief did not hesitate. He raised his heavy assault particle cannon, controlled the attack drone, and joined in the desperate struggle for the souls of the Final Knight and other A-class members in front of him.
Heavy artillery roared and bullets flew, but physical attacks were a bit less effective against these supernatural forces.
After more than ten seconds, Mason simply gave up the gun and let it return to the form of Johnny's Gun and inserted it back into his waist. He then pulled out the Sword of the Lake Lady from his waist and slashed at Wesker, who was about to transform into a state of destruction. , this demon-killing sword shimmered with golden light, and struck a critical blow with one slash of the sword.
A third of Wesker's body was forcibly cut off, which meant that the spirit body would not be dying due to this injury, otherwise this blow would have been enough to kill him.
"Bruce put your cape and suit in the collection room of the Batcave, and he also got you a cenotaph in the Wayne family cemetery."
While Mason stepped forward to slash, he said to the back-to-back final knights:
"If he still knows that you are alive, he will be very happy. He will be outside directing the coalition forces to rush here. Do you want to consider meeting him and saying something?"
"No."
The soul of the final knight said in a hoarse, cold, weird and light voice:
"I am dead, and I just hope to rest in peace now, but since you are already here, it means that your career has been successful and liquidation has begun
It seems my sacrifice was not in vain. ”
"Thanks to the Laughing Bat you have been hunting, the cosmic tuning fork he took out helped us a lot. From this point of view, giving you a ten-ton medal is not enough to reward you."
< br>
After another headshot, Mason knocked on his power armor and said:
"I melted your relics and used your armor to repair my armor. Although I didn't say hello to you in advance, I guess you won't ask me for material fees or anything like that?"
< br>
"Dang"
The Last Knight didn't answer.
He was being besieged by three former A-class members, and the hell sonic ax in his hand was smashed out and melted into pieces of light flying in the sky by dangerous magic.
"Go on!"
Mason waved his hand, and the recast and repaired inspection ax flew out and was held by the terminal knight. The latter took back his most convenient weapon and turned around to kill the enemy in front of him with a cleave, and then waved the piano smoothly. Xian caused the supernatural souls around him to fall into temporary blindness and confusion, then grabbed the battle ax and performed a 270° cleave.
K.O. three guys at one time.
"No! I am happy to see my relics used in the most appropriate place."
The final knight plucked the strings and sang a song of victory. Amidst the reverberation of a tone similar to heavy metal, he replied:
"That suit of armor was stolen by me. It protected me and accompanied me through countless dangers. It has long been damaged, but I don't know the technology and can't repair it.
If the armor could talk, it would call me an asshole and cheer for you to regenerate it into a more powerful form.
You have to watch out for Mephisto, though.
All the rules in his real lair are for his use, and he will not allow you to complete the final battle with him wearing this cheating suit. ”
"It doesn't matter! I have many weapons in my arsenal that can be used. If he thinks this suit is my trump card, he will be disappointed."
Mason slashed the black curse thrown by the Pharaoh in front of him with his sword, and in the initial charge, he withstood the violent bombardment of magic in front of him and stepped forward with his sword, cutting off the Pharaoh's arm.
The latter staggered back and was kicked down by the Final Knight who rushed from the side. The Lake Lady's Sword and the Inspection Ax were chopped down at the same time. One sword pierced the heart, and the other axed the owl's head.
The big bald man who was resurrected from the dead couldn't even utter a curse, and quietly shattered in the soul-crushing ending.
Mephisto said that these powerful souls were cannon fodder used to delay time. It turns out that he, the founder of the Society of Stars, did not have a clear understanding of the power of the hounds under his command.
This made the same strategic mistake as Warlock did.
You can't let explorers perform warrior tasks, it will cause trouble! Oh, speaking of our poor Lord Warlock, his soul is indeed not here.
Because he has been eaten by Heiqi, both human and soul.
No matter how powerful Mephisto is, there is no way he can snatch the warlock's soul back from Hei's terrifying black hole-like stomach under such circumstances.
The most important thing is that he was still asleep at that time, so even if he wanted to snatch it, there was nothing he could do.
Under the protection of power armor, the nearly invincible Mason and the Final Knight teamed up to quickly send those seniors into permanent relief from death again. The death of those souls left streaks of luster suspended in the air, which was quite beautiful.
In this background that was as bright as fireworks, Mason held the Sword of the Lake Lady in front of him and looked back at the Final Knight who was doing the same thing behind him.
He unfolded his visor and said to the final knight in front of him:
"Are you sure you won't stay and see Bruce again? I know you have a special feeling for him, but you are used to suppressing it."
"What you say is strange."
The final knight with a heavy and dark aura complained:
"Every Robin has a special feeling for their Batman. They are not just mentors or strict fathers on the road to heroes, they are family members who need to be protected by Robin.
This relationship is relative.
We all have a responsibility to each other.
As long as Batman is around, Robin will be around. ”
"Then the good news is that my Batman is retiring."
Mason shrugged and said:
"So I will probably become the only Robin in the parallel world who can truly retire."
"You are unique, you are an outstanding example of all Robins, I would like to call you the strongest Robin, and in the future, you may also be able to become an example of all Batmans."
The Last Knight let out a deep laugh and hinted at something Mason didn't intend to do.
It can be seen that he is really relaxed and has no fear or intolerance when facing the soul. Under Mason's gaze, he returned the inspection ax and opened his arms, saying:
"Come on, send me on my way. I have to accompany my Batman. He also needs a good assistant in another world. He has waited too long.
So please, don't let me miss tonight's night patrol in Gotham again. ”
"Say hello to your Batman for me."
Mason stepped forward, the golden blade pierced the heart of the soul in front of him, and watched in the flash of light as the spirit body of the final knight also turned into a member of the spiritual stream flying around him.
It was like all the invisible consciousness was expressing its gratitude to Mason in this way.
Evil or righteous.
At this moment, they can finally truly rest in peace.
As the spiritual light dissipated, the captain moved his shoulders, sheathed the Lake Lady's Sword, grabbed his heavy assault particle cannon, turned around and strode towards the passage at the end of the hall.
It's time to end this!
Mephisto!
You old dog, your daddy is here! (End of chapter)
