Chapter 716 14. We are afraid of the end, and we would not hesitate to become the end
"Bang"
Tony Zero was dragged into the rest room of the conference room like a dead dog. The space here was not big, but it was definitely enough for a temporary interrogation.
He really didn't look like a martial artist. Mason carefully rummaged through him but couldn't find anything similar to the White Jar Symbiote Armor, which had the concealment and maximum combat effectiveness.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
After all, when he first met Tony No. 7, he said that the source of this idea of super-realistic transformation of Mark's armor came from Tony No. 0.
If wisdom is used as a standard to measure and compare, if other Tony Starks, including the sassy and beautiful Tony Six, are all sports cars, then how can the guy in front of him who is so smart that he has a physical gem of wisdom grow out of his head? It can be regarded as a high-end version of the space shuttle.
"Instead of worrying about me summoning an army of surreal armors to crush you to death, it's better to worry about whether the increasingly fierce offensive and defensive battle outside will fire a stray bullet and blow us up here."
The embarrassed Tony Zero was not angry or cursed because of Mason's rough treatment. He was incredibly calm. He stood up from the ground and ignored Mason's gun against his head. He then pulled a chair from the side and sat down. Above, after taking a few breaths, he took out a bottle of medicine and twisted it open.
The medicine bottle was held in Mason's hand in the next moment.
There was no instruction manual or drug formula, but as a master alchemist, he just put it under his nose and sniffed it, then looked back at Tony Zero and said:
"Is this a thing that suppresses the activity of cancer cells? I just saw that it's not normal for you to be like this. I didn't expect that my words turned out to be true. How could you be infected with this disease if you are so smart?"
"There's something growing in my brain, man. If a normal person's brain tumor was that big, they would be dead. It's a miracle that I'm still alive."
Tony Zero snatched the medicine bottle from Mason's hand and poured seven pills into his mouth. There was no water glass left and right, but when he saw the captain in front of him stretched out his hand, a ball of pure water gathered into a water ball.
I hope the director doesn't care, he took it and "gnawed" it in, swallowed the medicine with the help of pure water, and then coughed violently.
This scene made Mason shake his head. He took out a bottle of immortal relic-level healing potion from his luggage and handed it to him, saying:
"I don't think this thing can cure you, but it can always make you feel better and temporarily get rid of the pain so that we can successfully complete this torture.
I'll get what I want, and you'll die.
Don't have too many illusions about your destiny. The only kindness I can offer you is to let you choose your own burial place. ”
"Thank you. Compared with the threats I have suffered before, you are a bit too kind."
Tony Zero didn't care whether the potion handed over by Mason was poisonous. He pulled out the cork and raised it to Mason like a toast. This action combined with the smile on his pale face made him look a bit bohemian and uninhibited as a member of the Stark family should.
Then he raised his head and drank the potion in his hand like he was drinking, and then he took a deep breath. It felt like warm sunlight shined directly through his skin into his heart, relaxing his tired body and mind at the same time.
"Let's get started."
Zero leaned back on the chair, with a comfortable expression on his face that made this scene not look like a forced confession at all, but more like a psychotherapy session of questions and answers.
The most outrageous thing is that it was not Mason who asked the question, but Tony Zero who spoke first.
He waved his fingers on the chair and said:
"Don't ask about my disease yet. I will tell you the answer in a moment. I guess you want to know from me about the Lord Doom and the Star of the End?"
"Yes."
Mason leaned on the table next to him and loaded bullets into the causality pistol one by one. He said:
"That bastard is hiding in Doujie, polishing the final Star of the End. I want to surprise him, but I can't find Doujie now and I have almost no clues."
"Of course you can't find it, because Doujie doesn't exist in this time and space at all."
Tony Zero shrugged and answered frankly:
"The best way to hide something is to hide it somewhere invisible.
time!
Doom hid his fighting world in the past. After all, Kang the Conqueror was also involved in this project, and they were both very good at playing with time.
You have to move forward along the sacred timeline, and at a certain point in time before you appear in this world, you can find the way to the fighting world.
And before that, you still have to get an ‘invitation letter’.
A coordinate that someone has obtained before. The only coordinate that can help you locate the entrance to the Doujie in time. I helped send it out a long time ago. ”
Tony Zero opened his eyes, stared at Mason, and said:
"I know what you want to ask, but that question cannot be asked here, and I cannot answer any of your questions in this regard.
I can only tell you that the Doomsday Star is indeed not a simple doomsday ark.
As for what it is.
Do you know why you caused such a big fuss here but still no one who can speak out jumped out to stop you? Why did Doom not plan to strike first even though he knew you wouldn't let him go? Why was he hiding like a turtle waiting for the last moment?
He's not scared, Mason.
People like him will always hold their trump cards tightly in their hands, just like you will have several countermeasures when facing any enemy.
Let me put it this way. ”
The guy paused, seemed to organize his words, and while rubbing his hair, which had become much thinner, he said to Mason, who was staring at him:
"Once the Last Star sets sail, all the advantages you and your companions have gained from fighting so far will be gone. You may think Doom has lost, but he has not.
The real match point is still in his hands. I have also imagined that if you are satisfied with the achievements of overthrowing the Council of Stars, killing Mephisto, and forcing old A to death, you plan to let Doom fend for himself in the destruction of this era. It was destroyed, and then the guy came back at the last moment.
But it turns out you didn’t intend to give up halfway.
You are here.
Appearing openly and openly in the heart of the Council symbolizes that you will never let go of the culprits who have made this era more and more ugly.
This makes me feel very relieved.
We are all people walking in the dark, and we are looking forward to seeing a beam of light shining on the road ahead as we stagger forward. I think I have probably seen it, which is enough for me to die without regrets.
You may not believe it, but I believe that not all of us are bad people. ”
"I believe it."
Mason shook his head and said:
"The real bad guys cannot and cannot do the horrible things you have done. Only those who are determined and have great ambitions can cause such great damage.
Everything is withering and the world is broken. Open your eyes and look at the howling wasteland and the souls who fell into hell. Those are the footprints you left on the way forward.
Bloody footprints. ”
"I won't defend these, it makes no sense."
Tony Zero shook his head and said:
"You have to find those things on your own, those things that can guide you to time and set foot in the fighting world. I guess you should already have one or two copies in your hands.
There are not many details left before you can piece together the complete truth, and the ones you missed are already on the way.
You have to know, Mason, that there is a very small probability that those things can be missed. They represent some forces that are beyond our control. You must have heard that gods like to play with people's fate for fun, but I want to What I’m telling you is that the cruelest thing is not the tricks played by the gods, but the help they give.
I've spent more than a decade trying to persuade him to sit on the sidelines, but he's not going to sit back and watch this play out now.
He decided to help us.
This means we will suffer a fate worse than destruction. ”
"You look like the Riddler now."
Mason frowned and said:
"Maybe I should give you a bullet to wake you up. If you can't tell the truth, then at least you should give me a hint. As you just said, you don't think you are a bad person."
"I've given you enough hints."
Tony Zero shook his head and said:
"You are only one step away from the end. If you cross it, you can see everything. If you believe in the things you stand for, don't stop after killing me.
Keep moving forward!
Remove all the obstacles that finally stand in your way.
Trust me, everyone will thank you for it.
bring it on.
Give me a bullet. ”
Tony Zero closed his eyes, reached out and pointed somewhere on his forehead, and said:
"Aim here. The bullet will not destroy the wisdom gem after it flies in. Although it will make the subsequent corpse collection a little more troublesome, I don't think it will be a problem for you.
In addition, that thing is not as mysterious as the legend says.
It doesn't give you everything you need to know in one go, especially since I've been using it to study philosophy and debate skills for so many years.
It's still pretty good as a collectible, but maybe it will also give you new enemies.
There is a guy who really wants it to make himself 'complete', but he has never been incomplete. If you meet him, remember to say sorry to him for me. ”
As he spoke, he also raised his fingers to hold Mason's gun barrel and align it. What stood out was the arrival of an impatient relief.
"Hey, you look a little weird to me."
Mason's finger was on the trigger.
He could feel that Tony Zero in front of him was not playing tricks. On the contrary, he really wanted to get rid of this weak and painful body here.
And he didn't look like he was going to say anything more at this time. For such a guy, it was completely useless to force a confession.
Mason stared at him, and after a few seconds, he asked:
"You just said you would tell me the reason for your illness."
"You will always be punished in various ways if you are too close to God, not to mention that I try to interfere with God's actions and thinking."
Tony Zero whispered:
"This is the body you see that has been ravaged by the disease. Even if he did not harm me maliciously, his kindness is too much for me to bear.
As I said, the cruelest thing for God is not to manipulate or play, but to help.
He should be far away from the world and high in the clouds, but we were frightened by the disaster and tried our best to fight against the future doomsday, so we became the current doomsday.
We try our best to be the hero like you who can save the day, and then, we screw up.
That's all.
Shoot, I'll explain everything to you the next time we meet, but as long as you can get there, I don't think you need to hear my explanation then.
You have come this far, and no one has come further than you in this era.
Don't stop, keep moving forward. ”
——
"Boom"
The missile that streaked across the sky accurately landed on the periphery of the council office area. Before it hit the target and exploded, it was punched in the air by Superman in a windbreaker, causing it to change its direction and hit the air diagonally, where it exploded again. Set off a dazzling firework.
The windbreaker was suspended in front of the World Regular Meeting Hall, almost single-handedly fighting against the incoming Skynet robots. Terminators of various types and those huge and fully automatic killing machines were all dispatched to the battlefield, but The good news is that the garrison of Hope City has not been dispatched to besiege here for a long time, which means that Feng Yichao no longer has to have the psychological burden of killing innocent people.
Although he actually doesn't care much about this.
He is just nicknamed Superman.
But in fact, his style is completely different from those of Da Chao and Lord Chao. For him, protection is just an action rather than a concept, and resisting tyranny is not based on grand ideals.
He's a good guy, but he can also be a bad guy.
If other supermen have more or less principles and divinity in them, then Feng Yi Chao has no clear principles for himself, and there is no trace of divinity in him at all.
He is a more powerful super human, and he has almost all the shortcomings of humans.
Not perfect.
But very real.
Of course, although he was raised by Luther and was not as good as moral role models like Da Chao and Lord Chao in terms of personal ethics, he would never be as bad as Azu, who said, "I can do whatever I want."
"The collection of world coordinates is almost completed. Sweetheart will be able to deal with those directors right away. We will come out to help soon! Can you still stand it?"
Harley's voice echoed in the communication channel of the resistance, with a sense of pleasure in participating in a big event. Windbreaker looked down at the more and more war machines gathering below. He shrugged and took out the Mason raised his head and drank the superhuman medicine. At the moment when his power exploded, he said:
"Phew, this thing is still powerful. I have no problem here. This is much easier than I thought."
"Nonsense, I helped you hold back the garrison."
The world-weary voice of Becca, the heroine in white, sounded from the communicator. She said:
"Mason seemed to have done something in it. There was already an internal rebellion here when I arrived, which saved me a lot of effort in convincing Steve Trevor.
Destroy Skynet's machines as soon as possible and take over Hope City. Superman and the Marines of the Sixth Sequence will help us solve the troubles in other parts of the world.
It won't be long before the world falls into our hands.
You are right, this is much easier than we think. ”
"Ahem."
Just when the three giants of the 12th sequence were preparing to open the champagne at halftime, Old Luther's cough sounded in the communication, and his old god said:
"I think you are too happy too early. Ronan's sixth sequence is indeed preparing to land, but the bad news is that he is not the only one coming.
The communications of the four Conqueror sequences, the Second Sequence Iron Tyrant, the Eighth Sequence Iron-Blooded Legion, the Ninth Sequence Skynet, and the Tenth Sequence Guard Fleet, have all been connected. If we are unlucky, we will have to face four sequences at the same time. siege, which also includes the Skynet system that hides the command center in the past.
This is the real trouble.
So don't celebrate your victory in advance, my poor children! We are still far from victory, so we should finish our work immediately and wait for the situation to change.
Becca, convince your little lover as soon as possible that I need Hope's anti-aircraft fire on our side.
Harley, find Mason!
Let him not execute Tony Stark first. The Second Sequence Iron Tyrant is probably here for him. It is rumored that there is some mysterious relationship between their leader and Zero Tony Stark.
We need him to contain that armored army."
Before Luther finished speaking, Mason's coughing sounded in the communication. With a sense of apology, he said:
"Sorry, I started a little too quickly, but don't worry, I have some friendship with the Tenth Fleet and the Eighth Sequence has already arranged for someone to go there.
I said you don't have to worry because you have my strong support, everything is within my plan. ”
After saying that, Mason lowered his head and looked at the pink wisdom gem that was still dripping with blood in his hand. This strange infinite rough stone gave off a very unique refraction against the blood light.
Behind him, Tony Zero's body was already burning in some kind of alchemical flame, and clouds of ashes were flying out of the window.
Although Mason didn't know much about Tony Zero's life, the guy was freed. He also said something very Riddler before he died, saying that they would meet again after being killed by Mason.
Although he didn't understand what the guy meant, Mason decided to maintain an optimistic attitude for the time being.
After all, they have already paid in advance.
The captain wiped the blood from his fingers and tossed the pink gem of wisdom up and down in his fingers. He sighed and said:
"If all the members of the council were as 'reasonable' as you, how much trouble would I have avoided? Not bad, so it's a good start." (End of Chapter)
