"This battle doesn't seem as hard as I thought? Maybe I should adjust my estimate of the strength of the members of the Stellar Society?"

In the Amaterasu's station, which was burned to pieces, the two buckets wiped the blood from their knives while watching Zakang frantically rummage through the surrounding boxes and cabinets for loot.

He glanced at Mason, who was "bleeding" the Grand Wizard, and said:

"The whole process only took less than a minute, and it was a waste of my mental construction to prepare myself for the battle to die... Why are these wizards so weak?"

"Weak?"

Before Mason could speak, Za Kang was unhappy and said:

"You blind little fool knows when you encounter them head-on in the open that they're weak. Mason's hat sealed the talismans and summoning spells that these wizards were best at as soon as the battle began, and the condensed poison gas of fear disrupted their senses.

I also used my hole cards.

I did my best to risk being killed by my friends down there.

You're just making up for it, and of course it's easy, because the pressure is all on my side."

"John was right, these guys didn't expect anyone to attack them at the Star Fortress, and there was almost no protective magic in this station, which gave us the possibility of a successful sneak attack.

And that's it."

Mason tossed aside the body of the breathless Great Wizard Tengu.

The old man's throat had been cut almost completely, and his gloomy eyes were filled with intense reluctance when he died. Mason ignored him and picked up the golden cup full of blood.

After confirming that the seal on it had been unsealed, he shook his head and said:

"The destruction of Team Amaterasu will make the other wizard betrayers more vigilant, and it will be almost impossible to succeed in a sneak attack if they are prepared.

You've just seen how troublesome their shapeshifting is, bullets can't hit them at all, and even assassins like you can be tortured to death by the Mind Curse if they get away.

Not to mention the Avada Curse that directly attacks the soul...

They're not weak at all, Jason.

It's just that we've been prepared, it's just that we're stronger."

"Look at these precious runes and summoning charms, and make a lot of money this time!"

Compared with the post-war summary of the second barrel, Konstantin, who was still panting, was obviously more concerned about the gains after paying.

He walked back with a large box of various runes in his hand, collected the magic bags of several wizards, and finally found a large magic backpack that looked like Mason's suitcase.

This dark wizard who is good at cleaning the battlefield easily threw a few captured famous knives to the second barrel, and it is definitely not an ordinary weapon that can be placed in the station.

The mana fluctuations that come out of those neon-style blades mean that they are all pretty good mana items.

Now, the second bucket, who likes all kinds of cold weapons, is also satisfied.

"What's next?"

As he poured the pick-me-up into his mouth, he looked at Mason, who was spilling the blood of the traitor in the golden cup, and said:

"The sneak attack was a big success, but that's where the trouble begins. The things in the room may have been noticed, so what are we going to do about the aftermath?"

"It's simple, we don't deal with it, someone will do it for us." ….

Mason placed the washed gold cup on the burnt table, poured the alchemy materials he had brought with him into it, lit the moving alchemist's holy grail with magic fire, and removed the hair from the corpse next to him and threw it into it.

The Holy Grail made by the legendary archwizard Lady Hufflepuff was so powerful that it usually took tens of minutes to make the Polyjuice Potion in less than ten minutes.

Mason did the same, and made three potions for the three of them.

They put the corpses in their bags to wipe out all their whereabouts, drank the potion and transformed into the Anamesuya team leader and members, and took down the world gate fixed in the station.

According to Mr. Hunter's "words and deeds", the holy water was poured at the gate of the world made by Zakang on the spot

doorknob, so that it erases all world coordinates and becomes untraceable.

After doing these things, the three of them pushed the door and left.

Sending a warm and indifferent greeting to the peers he met along the way, he went around the third floor of the Star Fort to brush up on his presence before returning to Team K's station.

When Mason pushed the door open, he saw two members of Team Amaterasu tied to the ground in chains, both of whom had been drenched in water of life and death, and fell into a deep sleep that could not resist.

"Done?"

Catwoman, who was slowly sipping a glass of red wine, glanced back at the new images of the three people, and said:

"Let's go now?"

"Lest you have long nights and many dreams."

Mason took out the legendary pistol from his waist and returned it to Judy, and said to her:

"It's a good gun, and today is probably the first time it's drunk blood. Congratulations, my dear friend, you have a killing gun."

"I always felt like you guys were a bunch of big bad guys."

Judy took the pistol and complained:

"To put it mildly, a squad can be so calm, Mason, are you sure you're not some kind of cold-blooded killer or something dangerous?"

"We're all in this business, and there's no practical point in dwelling on this."

Mr. K, the captain of Team K, who wears the appearance of the Great Wizard Tengu, smiles at his new friend, saying:

"All I can say is that those guys have a way to die, that's all. Why don't you sit in our base world? Judy, I think you're going to love it there.

You can live with Barbara,

Her home is huge.

When you get tired of playing, you just fall asleep."

"I'd love to, but not right now."

The Tech-Girl shrugged her shoulders and got up to leave with the three android guards who had returned to their original appearances, and she said to Mason:

"Wait until 'impact, and then talk about it. If your world is still around, I'll definitely find time to visit. I must inform the captain of what you did today...

You have to understand, Mason, that my captain is a cautious man."

"Go, go, go."

At the same time as Zakon activates the door of the world to open the passage back to Gotham, Mason sends Judy out of the station, and in the background of the two barrels dragging the two unlucky eggs bound by chains, he says goodbye:

"I'm sure I'll be able to meet your captain soon, and by then, we'll both be truly trustworthy and dependable 'of our own.'" ….

You are always welcome to visit my city, Judy.

Trust me, you'll be able to rediscover the Night City feel in Gotham City, where the people are simple and vibrant, and you'll love it, I promise!"

---

Minutes after Team K left Fort of the Stars, the door to Team Amaterasu's residence was pushed open.

Mr. Hunter, who was wearing a mask and robe, walked into it with his subordinate Anna, and she shook her head as she looked at the devastated marks of the battle in front of her, then at the floor where blood still remained on the ground.

"It's so unprofessional!"

Miss Anna, the leader of the Exx team next to Mr. Hunter, looked at the mess in front of her and complained:

"I thought that Mason Cooper would be more cautious, you warned him! But look at the traces he left behind, anyone who is not blind knows that there was a homicide here.

That is, His Excellency Warlock was not there, and he was not able to track the battle in the first place.

Otherwise, I guess those three people won't be able to leave, and they'll be arrested. Didn't I say, Mr. Hunter, how could you take a fancy to such a reckless man?

That doesn't seem to be your style."

"You say he's reckless?"

Mr. Hunter chuckled and said:

"No, Anna, he wasn't reckless, on the contrary, he made the right choice.

The captain and main members of the Amaterasu team

is dead, but the team is not destroyed, and two people are captured alive by Team K, and the captain's authority will fall to one of those two people.

Therefore, in the tracking of the Stars Society, Team Amaterasu is still operating normally, and the capture of the captain also allows Team K to successfully obtain the second World Gate that can be used.

And who do you think he left these things for?"

Captain Anna was stunned for a moment, then reacted, stomped her foot in annoyance, and said:

"That bad guy knew you'd be here to check it out, so he deliberately asked you to help him deal with this mess? That's too much!"

"Nothing excessive. Subordinates work hard to realize the will of the leader, even fighting for their lives, and as a leader, it is natural for the leader to respond to such a noble dedication."

Mr. Hunter shook his head and said:

"Mason knew that I was the only one in the Star Castle who could make it a trivial matter, so he enlisted my help instead of messing around on his own.

It was the right choice, Anna.

That young man understands the relationship between 'obligations' and 'rights', and you're much worse off on that.

You always want to get things done on your own.

But you don't realize that if you do everything perfectly, then what is the purpose of my boss's existence?

You should give me some room once in a while."

Captain Anna pouted.

She knew that Mr. Hunter was making such a bad joke again.

After a few seconds, she frowned and said:

"Okay, I'll admit you have a point, but I still don't understand why Mason had to do such a dangerous thing in Starcastle? He's only been a member of the Stars Society for a month, and he doesn't have any conflicts with Team Amaterasu."

"In what we do, conflict and contradiction are not the only reasons to act. What's more, there are indeed contradictions, irreconcilable contradictions, between them." ….

Mr. Hunter walked through the devastated station, eventually picking up a broken picture frame from the embers of the flames, placing it in his hand and wiping it down.

In the frame is an old photograph.

The black-and-white photograph shows the Grand Wizards of the Merlin Order all smiling on their faces, and this magical image perfectly captures the scene when this photograph was taken.

At that time, the great wizard Tengu was still very young and standing with the white-bearded old man Dumbledore, his face full of pride and pride as an archwizard.

"The man who died in this room is a traitor, Anna."

Mr. Hunter stared at the magical photograph and whispered:

"When Amaterasu, the Death Eaters, and the Lighthouse joined the Stars, I checked their backgrounds. You know that their world wasn't just destroyed by hounds.

There is still a secret to the fall of that world.

And these wizards, who were supposed to stand with their compatriots and resolutely resist the invaders, threw themselves into the arms of the enemy at the first time.

I've seen the battle briefly.

They were the ones who helped unleash the virus and attack governments around the world, and without their help, the world would have been able to resist much longer.

The least diluted zombie virus can't destroy the world that should have great potential so quickly.

Team K has no grudges against them.

But perhaps in Mason's eyes, these traitors are his enemies!

Just like I was at the beginning...

This young man is doing what I used to do, and what you are doing. He's finding out the traitors who are more hateful than the invaders, one by one, and sending them where they're supposed to be.

This will not bring back the survival of the world, but at least it will be able to breathe."

"But he's not from that world at all!"

Captain Anna sighed and said:

"He didn't have any reason to do this, was he just going to risk his destruction to execute these bastards who would die later?

I don't think he's that great, and he doesn't feel like a radical

of people."

"It doesn't matter what he thinks."

Mr. Hunter put the black-and-white photograph in his backpack and whispered as he reconstructed the devastated Residency room with his Grand Mentor authority:

"In these complex and dark times, we don't have that much time for a person's heart, Anna, what he does is more important than what he thinks.

As for the reason...

Oh, when the sons of justice enter a place of evil where black and white are reversed and order is broken, it is their only and natural mission to turn it upside down.

And they will do it!

Even if it's just because of witnessing someone else's disaster.

Mason Cooper has a kind heart, and the best thing is that he is not pedantic at all, and knows how to fight the darkness in an effective and decisive and even cold-blooded way.

Just to witness today's 'vengeance of the dead' is enough to make me happy.

I'm starting to like that little guy."

Mr. Hunter smiled and said:

"Even if it's only two sides. He seemed to have figured out what I was hiding under the mask, and he knew what I wanted to see, so he presented this scene for me. ….

The death cry of the traitor and the scattering of filthy blood are probably the 'reward' he left me to pay for helping him deal with the mess.

Learn a little, Anna.

It puts me in a better mood than you have done everything I have ever asked me to do."

"Collect your bad tastes, sir."

Captain Anna complained behind her back:

"Mason Cooper doesn't know what kind of dangerous thing we're planning, and if he did, he'd probably be scared to flee your clutches as soon as possible."

"Oh?"

Mr. Hunter looked at the surrounding resident rooms, which had been completely restored to their previous state.

She looked back at Anna and said meaningfully:

"Do you really think he didn't guess? Perhaps, after all, this young man has not seen the impact with his own eyes, but I am sure that he will soon make up for this shortcoming.

At that point, he was faced with a choice.

Or join us.

Or, for a variety of reasons, willingly become a... Hound!"

"Then he will be our enemy."

Captain Anna moved the gray combat gloves on her hands and whispered:

"If he dares to live up to your expectations, then I will execute him with my own hands! As I have done before, a traitor is never worthy of forgiveness!"

"Don't talk about that."

Mr. Hunter opened a silver light curtain door, and as she stepped inside, she asked softly:

"Haven't you found your friend yet? It's been so long, wouldn't those people have been..."

"No, it won't!"

Captain Anna said in a firm tone:

"They set out on a great mission, and in the dark night of the last days, they pinned on us homeless people with the last hope.

I trust that they will send those precious seeds into a safe world and then come back to join us.

They're definitely alive!

They may have returned to their hometown, if only I could find my way back... Yes, as long as I can find that damn world coordinates! I'll definitely find it!

Having witnessed the destruction of my homeland, I have vowed never to abandon any of my fellow citizens again."

"You know how hard it is, Anna, you're looking for something more difficult than Mason wants to do, and now he just wants to turn it all upside down, and you're trying to find a way to rebuild."

Mr. Hunter sighed as well.

She patted Anna on the shoulder and said:

"But with hope and expectation, in this dark age, that's all we have left. Speaking of which, the swordsman has been in contact with you lately

Is it done?"

"Who's going to contact her!"

Miss Anna snorted and said:

"She's not one of us anymore, she's a traitor, and I'll do it myself... I'm going to do it!".
