43. It's all a game, Peter, don't let them hurt you
"Let's go!"
In front of him, the Green Goblin was wearing a cool armor to block the way, and he said that he wanted Team K to hand over his "kidnapped" son, but how could Mason have time to talk to him?
The moment Dr. Otto gave the warning, Mason shouted at Zakon.
"Come here!"
The black mage shouted with a cigarette in his mouth, and cast a spell with both hands to activate the teleportation rune.
The Kite Man roared down and took Catwoman who jumped out of the window in his arms, and continued all the way down to catch the two female pirates who rushed out of the tenth-story balcony behind him, activating the winged engines and carrying them into the distant night.
The underground two barrels and Barbara have also evacuated along the same route, and they have not forgotten to take their captives after being well educated by Batman.
The old spider wanted to say a few words to the Green Goblin, but was grabbed by Mason and pulled into the teleportation rune that had been activated, and in the glow they were sent out of the Osborne Tower, spinning and falling from a height of several meters, smashing into the sand washed by the filthy water.
"Doctor! Blew it up!"
Mason shouted.
In the next moment, a terrifying explosion and flames rose into the sky under the night.
Lady Elizabeth and Angelina had previously installed the explosives in the predetermined location according to the internal structure construction drawings of the Osborne Tower that Dr. Otto had given to Team K, thanks to the chaos of the entire tower and the ravages of zombie beasts, their actions went very smoothly, which caused the explosives to be detonated and did not completely destroy the towering Osborne Tower.
But an explosion at its most sophisticated mechanical engine destroyed the equipment that was constantly digging into the center of the earth to collect gravity, bringing its devastating mining to a halt.
The violent tremors that enveloped the entire coast and the distant city also came to an abrupt halt at this moment, bringing the abandoned city to a halt before it was destroyed.
The fire from the explosion ignited from the middle level of Osborne Tower and went upwards, quickly transforming the towering building into a torch in the night.
It was so bright that it almost completely illuminated the night sky around it.
The city was inhabited by more than 100,000 employees of the Osborne Corporation, but tonight's fighting was confined to the Osborne Tower and did not destroy their living quarters, but the successive explosions caused the sheltered city to spoil quickly.
It's like some kind of sign.
Just like the chaos of that night when the Doomsday invaded, it was like another desperate chaos coming.
"Mason, the neighborhood is in chaos."
Barbara's voice rang out over a somewhat distorted communicator as she said:
"Jason and I saw a lot of people screaming and rushing out of their hive house, the Osborne guards were too busy to take care of themselves, and if it continued like this, it would cause a riot!
Do you want to do something?"
"Is the city defense system still in our hands?"
Mason got up from the dirty sand, wiped the muddy water from his face, and said:
"If you're still there, activate those alerts! Send the drones out too, and whoever dares to mess around will be executed. We've got a little bit on our side... Well, the Green Goblin is coming.
I'll talk about it in a moment!"
The young man stood up on the beach.
He looked up to see the green Green Goblin at high speed toward the beach, the glow of his suit bursting from his feet lengthening an arc of light in the night. ….
There were also several wing-shaped floating cannons surrounding the approaching guy, which were clearly modified versions of the previous Green Goblin Aircraft.
And the armor on his body also made Mason very familiar.
Isn't that a modified version of Iron Man's Mark series of armor? So, the Norman Osborne who appeared in front of them was actually the Dark Dynasty's version of the "Iron Patriots"?
Tsk, bad luck.
There are so many green goblins in the parallel world, how did they choose the most difficult one?
"This guy's energy response is almost out of the sky, and I can see with my naked eye how dangerous that suit is, and the armor you stole from Batboy is a tattered one compared to that thing
Shape.
Didn't you say that this guy didn't join the Stars Club?
Why do I think he's tougher than the entire Six-Headed Squad combined?"
Zakang angrily threw away the whole pack of cigarettes wet with sea water in his hand, and stood in front of Mason with the magic book in his arms, and patted him on the shoulder with a feigned weakness, and said:
"You see, Captain, I've been working hard to help you take out the Sandstorm, and I'm not very good at these mechanical things.
So he's going to leave it up to you?"
"Huh"
A strong gust of wind blew behind the trio, and the Kite Man also crossed the night sky, rushing to send himself and the three ladies on his body to the captain's side before the energy of the mechanical wings ran out.
When Catwoman jumps down, she tosses the widowmaker rifle she picked up to Mason, who picks it up with a skilful loading but doesn't aim to shoot.
Even reach out to your teammates to stop being impulsive.
This battle may not be fought.
The main thing is to see how much sanity Lord Norman still has now, and they are not here to end the "terrible tyranny" of the Green Goblin in this world.
That's something the old spider needs to think about, it's not their job at all.
"Hand it over!"
The Green Goblin flew over and levitated in mid-air ten meters in front of Team K, and the floating cannons beside him gathered in a circle, aiming the muzzles of the black holes and the emitters of electric energy at the uninvited guests in front of them.
As Zakang said, even if you don't use the device to scan, you can feel that the energy reaction of this set of weapons is really about to break through the sky.
This is also normal.
If Mason guessed his identity correctly, the current version of the Green Goblin in front of him can handle the ruthless role of a super-first-line hero like "Sentinel".
Now, behind the old guy is the entire burning Osborne Tower, but the Green Goblin doesn't say much about the loss of his own industry.
He looked at Catwoman who was hiding behind Mason and probing her brain, and said coldly:
"Damn thief! Hand over what you took! Hand over my son! If he is wounded by a hair, I guarantee you that it will be a luxury to die a happy death."
"Norman! Enough is enough!"
The old spider couldn't listen anymore.
Already exhausted from the battle with the killers, he pulled off his hood and stepped forward to block the front of Team K, his beard skewed and he looked very haggard.
But there was no hatred or anger in those eyes for the Green Goblin at this moment.
On the contrary, those eyes were full of guilt and unbearability.
He said:....
"Harry is dead, your son, my best brother is dead, and that night... Wake up!"
"Shut up! Peter."
The Green Goblin's tone was a little colder, and the two floating cannons beside him, which looked like pumpkin dolls, had begun to charge.
He said:
"I told you not to show up in front of me! If it weren't for my Harry's dying begging me to spare your life, you ominous one, you would have died that night with your freak friends!
My son has exchanged his life for yours, and you should cherish it.
Now, get out!
Don't bother me."
"Let it go."
Mason said to Selena behind her.
Catwoman pursed her lips and opened her bag, but instead of throwing out a living person, she released a very delicate-looking creature pod.
The thing smashed into the sand in the center of the Green Goblin and Team K, and when it hit the ground, it activated its backup energy source, causing it to emit a shimmer light under its glass cover, illuminating the figure lying in it, exposing it to everyone.
The first to exclaim was the old spider.
Peter's eyes widened as he looked at the sleeping young man in the biopod.
The latter, with black hair and a handsome face, was lying in the creature chamber in a black jumpsuit, his face so vivid that he could even see the movement of his nostrils breathing.
"You're cloned
He?"
This is the first possibility that comes to Spider-Man's mind.
He turned his back to glaring at the Green Goblin and shouted:
"No! This is blasphemy!"
"It's not cloning."
Za Kang, who had been watching coldly, squinted his eyes at this moment, and a few runes flashed out of the corners of his eyes, he seemed to see through the truth of the things in front of him, and said faintly:
"This is your dead friend!
There are still traces of some kind of superior magic left on him... Well, it should be a clever time magic, and when I get close to him, I will feel the time passing disorder."
The person who was the most knowledgeable about magic rubbed his chin and guessed:
"If my guess is correct, this Harry Osborne was 'slashed' out of the past stream of time, and this isn't a low-level thing like a clone.
He's the one you remember.
It's like a fake."
"So, they used Harry Osborne's past to trap you?"
Mason also understood after seeing the "treasure" stolen by Selena, he looked up at the Green Goblin slowly falling from the sky, and said:
"That's why you accepted the arrangement of the Stars Society to become a vassal world collaborator? If I'm not mistaken, there must be some kind of limit to this time magic, right?
Like you have to recharge it regularly, or your lost child will leave you again."
"Well, that's it, typical of evil."
Za Kang also helped beside him and said:
"This is how many hellish creatures control the believers they value, first giving you a 'gift' that you can't refuse, and using this 'kindness' to trap you completely.
You know you're on the wrong path.
But the tighter your grip is, the more you can't turn back."
"Shut up!"
The Green Goblin didn't listen to the two guys' words at all.
He stretched out his delicate hand-armor and stroked the biological pod in front of him, and when he saw his sleeping son in it, a hint of relief appeared on Old Norman's face. ….
It's as if he was so irritable just now, and after he got his treasure back, he became calm and rational in an instant.
"."
He said to Team K:
"The cleaners have noticed what's going on here, and I don't think you want to deal with them. I know from the sandmen that there are similar taboos within the Stars."
"That's it?"
The kite man next to him, who was already ready for a big battle with the defender's machine gun, raised his eyebrows, and said angrily:
"We broke into your city, destroyed your machines, burned your home, and killed your dogs, but that's it? You're all armed and rushing over, shouldn't you have a fight and talk about it?"
"If you're a man of some skill, would you be willing to deign to be the king of the garbage heap?"
Old Norman sarcastically said:
"As for the Sandman, that idiot was worthless in my eyes when he fled back into this world when the army was wiped out. He is not the only pioneer I have cultivated in the Star Club, and it is the same with him or not.
If it weren't for this damn female thief stealing my child, I would have just played a play with Otto and watched you worms fight to the death for fun."
"What do you mean by that?"
This is not only Mason and Team K, but even the outsider Old Spider has heard the oddity.
He asked:
"What do you mean you mean you have more than one Trailblazer?"
"Do you want me to be clearer? Frank Casul, Gwen Stacy, the Defenders, and the revenge agents of Black Widow and Coulson..."
The Green Goblin sneered at Peter Parker and said:
"Those superheroes or villains who survived the apocalyptic invasion, well, poor Peter, have you drunk all your clever brains by indulging in drinking and having fun all these years?
You really think
Am I going to allow the outsiders who don't know where they came from to take the last of the world's powerhouses so easily?
I know more than you know.
The invasion and everything that followed was unstoppable, and the catastrophe had nothing to do with the Stars or the Cleaners.
They...
They are merely playing a tyrannical and pathetic role in this massive event.
No, I never hated them."
He looked up at Spider-Man with a stunned face, as if he was enjoying the feeling of looking at a fool.
He said:
"But you seem to be immersed in senseless anger and hatred, and even after more than three years, you still feel hopeless about the betrayal you've encountered?
When you needed help the most, the 'capitulation faction', led by Tony Stark, ignored your pleas for help and even joined the invaders after the war.
You feel like they've betrayed you.
But that's not the hard truth."
The Green Goblin connected the energy from his armor to his son's life support pod through the accessor, and while fine-tuning the data of the bio pod, he said casually as if he were sharing a secret:
"The night before Tony Stark left with the group, he had a conversation with Steve Rogers, who was determined to fight the invaders to the end. ….
It wasn't just the two of them who participated in that conversation, and I can tell you for sure that I was among them.
You know what I mean?
The arrival of the Doomsday Invasion is a disaster, but every disaster is full of opportunities, the only question is whether you have the vision to seize the opportunities.
It's all arranged.
It's all a bureau.
Poor Peter.
The Stars and their superiors thought they had conquered us, but in fact we had a 'rebirth' with them.
Of course, this world needs a group of hot-blooded heroes to die for it in times of crisis, but for existence itself, this apocalypse in front of you may need a group of people who can continue its existence to live for it.
It's true.
Don't hate them.
They suffer no less than you do in making their choices, even counting the double debt condemned by their conscience.
You!
Peter parker.
You could have been one of these 'forerunners, looking for opportunities for us to exist in countless parallel worlds), but you have fallen for yourselves."
There was a dead silence on the entire beach.
After a few seconds, Lady Elizabeth, with her mouth slightly wide open, whispered:
"Don't you even notify your own people before you do this? Didn't those who died that night die in vain for the world?"
"Nope."
Zakang spat out the smoke ring, glanced at Mason, shook his head and said:
"The sacrifices of the brave make the 'surrenders' of these capitulationists look more real, and this is perhaps the greatest significance of the arranged death.
But why are you telling us this, Norman?"
"For you are 'messengers,' It's another 'possibility,' which I've been waiting for."
The Green Goblin takes off his mechanical helmet.
The old and emaciated face stared at Mason, like a harrier eagle staring at a rabbit, and said:
"When the Sandman reviewed to me what he had suffered in your world, I knew there was something behind it. Your presence and decisive execution proved my suspicions.
There are also 'resistance' forces at the top of the Stellar Society.
I don't know how you got hooked up with someone like that, but I need you to help us match!
Mason Cooper.
We, the 'Doomsday Exiles, want to befriend the little organization behind you', we have a common goal, and we can work together.
But before you really talk about it, you have to make a decision."
Old Norman glanced back at the lights on the sea in the distance.
He smiled a sinister smile that frightened a child, and said to Mason:
"The cleaners are coming, they're watching my doglegs, you can choose how you want to get in touch with them, Mason.
They don't care which squad's base world this is, so you can take over the Sand Man's idiot and continue to make deals with them, and all they want is gravity anyway.
Their appetite seems to me small and small.
Or, you can find a way to kill them and blame me, so as to cut us off from you and the people behind you from doubting my sincerity.
Now the decision is yours, Mason.
Do you have to make a decision for the big guy behind you? Do you want to work with those of us who are 'struggling to survive' after the apocalypse?
Empty white teeth can never be trusted.
Only the blood of a common enemy can build the foundation of mutual trust.
Only, do you have the guts to do this?"
