Norman Osborne.

A brilliant businessman, a twisted genius, a father who is not up to par but not bad, and a supervillain who has a very successful career.

Long before the end came, he was one of Spider-Man and New York City's most troublesome enemies.

According to the story that the old spider just whispered to Erdou and Barbara, the Green Goblin in this world is very, very beautiful.

During the Avengers Schism a few years ago, it was the Green Goblins who single-handedly sabotaged the post-war reconstruction of S.H.I.E.L.D. and formed an organization called the Celestial Hammer with official support.

It is said that there was still a time when this guy was even preparing to run for president.

So, even if it weren't for the sudden arrival of the apocalyptic invasion, the superheroes of this world were destined to survive a very difficult time after the villain took power.

This is one of the reasons why this world of powerful superheroes is vulnerable to the invasion of the Stars and the Cleaners.

Long before the arrival of the invaders, the heroes of this world had been caught in a long period of division and infighting, and now it is almost certain that this forewarned split was the stars who would be playing tricks in the dark, and as far as Mason is concerned, it has to be said that the bastards really picked the perfect time.

Almost one wave knocked down the superheroes who couldn't unite quickly.

And among them, the Green Goblin guy really has the greatest credit.

But he didn't throw himself into the arms of the Stars Society like the sandman who was picked up by the Battle Mentor Swordsman, at least so far, Norman Osborne is still only a "partner" of the Stars Society.

He is not a member of this group and always has a choice.

This fully shows that he has not lost his mind.

And that's just such a person...

But just now he told Mason that he and the superheroes in this world who have been ordered to join the Star Society have formed a secret group to plot to subvert the existing order of the Star Society.

Judging by his appearance, he seems to be one of the leaders of that small group.

This sounds outrageous, but when you think about it, it's outrageous.

But Mason is not difficult to understand the theory that the Green Goblin just said superficially about "rebirth through the backdoor".

"So, like parasites, you lurk among them with your claws as the stars invade you, thus accomplishing some kind of strange-sounding 'symbiosis,'

On the beach at night, Mason frowned and said:

"Assuming everything you say is true, then I guess you're doing this to get important information and intelligence, or at least to find out the truth behind the so-called 'doomsday'.

So here's the problem."

Mason stared at the Green Goblin and said:

"If you want to persuade me to help my superiors make a decision here, just say something. What is the truth behind this apocalypse?

I'm not hiding it from you, I've been investigating.

But everyone I met was mysterious, and I just asked me to see with my eyes, wouldn't you do the same?"

"Are you sure you want to talk about this at this time?"

The Green Goblin glanced at the sea in the distance, and a large number of strange flying machines were already lit up on an island off the coast under the dark night. ….

It was the "Legion of Cleaners" stationed in this world.

Perhaps in less than ten minutes they will reach the burning Osborne Tower and bring the chaos under control.

"We all have a choice."

Mason didn't care about the Cleanup's sortie.

He took out an official execution order from his bosom and tossed it up and down, saying:

"With this thing here, all we're doing tonight is 'official action, and the cleanups won't do anything to us, no matter how brutal they are. As for you, you can continue to work with them as if nothing happened.

So you see, we still have a lot of time

Adequate.

If you speak fast enough, we can even arrange a small 'ambush' for them. I'm not telling you that one of my team members is helping us build an army.

Although it is useless, if you have a mental calculation and no intention, it can delay the time of a real fight."

"The 'Underground' people that Connors created,"

The Green Goblin immediately understood Mason's intentions, and he snorted and said:

"A rabble."

"But we still have a 'big nuclear bomb,' in our hands."

Zakang spat out the smoke ring, stood on Mason's left hand side, and said coldly:

"A super demon who can tear you down with one hand... So I advise you to be honest, old fellow! Now you're begging us."

"Do you even say it?"

Catwoman on Mason's right yawned and crossed her arms and sneered:

"Or are you just fooling us, cunning old man? If you really have a rebel army, why would Dr. Otto leave your city and choose to live in seclusion underground?"

"Would you put all your eggs in one basket?"

Old Norman sneered and said:

"Doesn't that old hippie come out tonight to help you fight me against me, and that proves that I'm right? If I unfortunately die, those wandering 'fellow villagers' will not lose their way home all at once.

Otto!

You're listening, right?

Do you really think I didn't find those secret doors you left in the mechanics of Osborne Tower? Or do you think you're smarter than I am?"

"Mason, there is some truth to Norman's words."

Dr. Otto's voice then rang out in the comms, and he said in a serious tone:

"Tonight's operation was a little too smooth, and now that I think about it, the data confrontation between me and Barbara and Norman just now may really be more like a play that has been put together.

He threw in the towel."

"Tell me something dry."

Mason nodded and stared at the old green goblin unrelentingly, questioning:

"Give me some 'sweetness' to help me make a decision, OK?"

"All right, cunning imp."

The old green goblin hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"The so-called 'Shock' is an imminent catastrophe that has befallen most of the parallel worlds of the entire multiverse at the same time. The apocalyptic invasion that took place in our world more than three years ago was the precursor to the 'second shock'.

The result of that shock was the eternal demise of the Earth in 3,523 parallel worlds.

The Society of Stars and its parent institutions, including ours, have displaced over a thousand of the world's refugees in the Second Impact, and two-thirds of their current 3,000 Pioneer Squad members have only emerged since the aftermath of the Second Impact. ….

Actually, I doubt that's what the stars were built to do in the first place.

And now what's coming is the 'third shock, which will appear in half a month to a month, and this is the news that my people found directly from the database of the Stellar Society."

Old Norman paused, giving the K-Team members a moment to digest the information.

Then he said:

"Of all the pioneers we've sent, Black Widow's squad is the fastest, and she's already preparing for the promotion process to the A-Rank Council of Twelve.

She had been to the depths of the Great Library of Castle des Stars, and had seen a lot of information.

No matter what the hell your organization has become and what means it uses to loot and squeeze the various parallel worlds, in the beginning, they really built it for the sake of salvation.

Sadly, the record of that event has been erased, and no one knows what actually led to its establishment.

And according to the information that our people have found in the Stars Society, the first shock was seventeen years ago, and the second one was three years ago.

The scale of the third shock will be even greater.

But that's not the only bad news.

Because even after surviving the third shock, there is a fourth, a fifth... Until the entire multiverse parallel world system completely dies out.

It's accelerating.

The end is speeding up, and there really isn't much time left for us.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken such a risk to connect with you and the people behind you, and now in the face of this bad news, do you have anything to say?"

"I beg your pardon, my brain is still accepting this truth, and I don't have any unique ideas to tell you for a while."

Mason rubbed his forehead and said:

"So, what exactly do these shocks take to manifest themselves?"

"I don't know."

The Green Goblin waved his hand neatly and said:

"It's not that I won't tell you, it's that I really don't know, the second impact of the stars will use some kind of equipment to obscure the entire planet's observation.

I just know we got through it.

But according to my observations of the world with satellites, there were large-scale meteorite falls during that time, and traces of minerals from another world were found in those meteorites.

So I guess it's a brutal either/or.

Because we survived, another world was destroyed."

"Sounds like a scale."

Za Kang frowned, smoked cigarettes one by one, and said:

"If you want to maintain balance, you have to make certain sacrifices, and it's really very much in line with the evil style of the Stars Society."

"That's not right!"

Catwoman shook her head and said:

"If it was the so-called 'second shock' that happened more than three years ago, then why didn't our world feel anything at all? During that time, Batman remained in Gotham and did not leave at all.

He couldn't have been absent from such a world-class event."

"Because you've had a bye."

The Green Goblin said faintly:

"And with two byes in a row, it seems that your world is really lucky. Of course, there is another possibility, and some of us who have been involved in the research institute have revealed a piece of news.

In fact, the research of the Star Society and even their parent institutions on the 'Doomsday Shock' has not come to a concrete conclusion, and some of them have speculated that this impact will first cover the lower worlds, and then gradually spread upwards. ….

It's like a... Well, brutal gladiatorial fights.

The miscellaneous fish warm up the atmosphere first, and then the truly fierce warriors will join in the increasingly bloody gladiatorial fight. But if you look at it, you won't be able to hide from it this time.

I guess the powerhouses of your world are busy right now?"

"Hmm."

Mason nodded.

He glanced at the Green Goblin, then called out over the communicator:

"Jack! Are the negotiations going well on your side? We may need allies."

"Wait, we're talking."

Captain Jack's voice came from the communicator, and he said:

"The leaders of the Underground have made excessive demands, but they still don't swallow me on the spot by giving Dr. Connors face, and this matter is still to be discussed.

I need some time."

"I don't have time for you."

Glancing at the increasing number of aircraft taking off the coast, Mason said:

"Twenty minutes at most, you must get to Osborne Tower or it will be too late."

Captain Jack was silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, he said:

"I try."

Mason's gesture made the Green Goblin smile.

He knew that the captain of Team K had made a difficult decision, but as he was about to leave with Harry Osborne's bio pod, Mason stopped him.

"You will rebel against them, but what about your son?"

Mason Says:

"He's been dragged out of the stream of time by the stars, and you'll lose him again if they find out about your rebellion."

"So why do you think I'm looking for the person behind you?"

The old green goblin smiled strangely, looked at his son sleeping peacefully in the biological pod, and said:

"If they really want to do something, if they want to harness our power, they're going to have to pay something as a 'deposit,' they don't have to?"

"The third shock is coming, are you sure you want to change the door at this time?"

Mason Says:

"Without the protection of the Stars Society, this world would be doomed, right?"

"Look around you, Mason."

Old Norman pointed to the distant ruined city that was still smoky from the shaking just now, and he whispered:

"What's the difference between the way the world is now and what it's dead? Besides, aren't there still you? Since I'm selling my body, I'm naturally eager to sell for a good price.

If I want to give away the hidden power that we, the remnants of the apocalypse, have built up at the cost of the whole world, you have to pay something, right?

It's a big gamble.

I bet you rebels have a way to protect the world.

If I lose my bet.

That just shows that I have a bad eye."

The Green Goblin put on his mechanical helmet again, saying:

"One last word of caution. Don't be merciful when facing the cleaners!

Those guys have been transformed to erase all feelings, and have been turned into walking biochemical beasts with a mess of boosters, and to be kind to them is to be cruel to themselves.

It's just a low-level legion stationed here, and it's not hard to deal with if you make up your mind, the only trouble is their battle mothership, which can wipe out Osborne's firepower in a matter of minutes." ….

After saying that, he glanced at Peter Parker, who was standing in place, and said coldly:

"As for you, Peter, you should make your own choice, after you have wasted so much time. Do you continue to hide underground and make a living?

Or do you want to give your blood again for your dead world?"

After dropping a few words, the Green Goblin disappeared into the night sky, leaving only Team K whispering discussions.

"This truth is so exciting, I need some time to calm down."

Barbara Gordon, who watched the whole process, complained in the newsletter:

"I thought this was a simple hoe girl, but why did she make such a spy-like twist? And speaking of which, do you really believe that old Norman?

Why do I always feel like he didn't tell the whole truth?"

"He has reservations, that's for sure."

Zhakang glanced at Mason with a smoke ring and said:

"I suspect now that he's exaggerating the capabilities of his 'rebel army', and if the Sandmen are really useless in his eyes, he doesn't need to spend so many resources on training the Six-Headed Squad .

If you want me to say, this old thing might still have cards in his hand.

But certainly not much.

At this point, he is not just trying to take a stand, but also asking for help...

Right!

He's hoping to hug the thigh of Mr. Hunter's organization!"

"And I doubt his control over the superheroes he put into the Stars."

Catwoman also rubbed her eyes and said:

"The conscientious people of this world have died in the apocalyptic invasion, and no matter how much those of them who survived try to whitewash their original actions, betrayal is betrayal.

How much loyalty can you expect from those who gave up their world at the last moment to be trampled on by the invaders?

The Stars Society has a means of wooing the exiles.

But I also know that our little Mason is a kind fellow, and it is impossible for you to let the world continue to be exploited by the cleaners.

Actually, I don't think so

Whether there's a Green Goblin or not, you're going to have to fight the cleanups, or you won't have to let Jack run to negotiate the move of reinforcements.

You've been planning this battle."

"We really should help them!"

The two barrels, who have always been silent, said briefly:

"No matter how powerful they are, they are always a help, and as long as they are against the Stars, they are our allies."

"I think so, too!"

While reloading his kinetic light machine gun, the Kite Man said to Mason:

"Boss, pulling people back can make Mr. Hunter value you more, didn't you say to show our value? This is a great opportunity now!"

Mason nodded but did not speak immediately, but turned to look at the silent Lady Elizabeth and Angelina, and said:

"What do you two think?"

"Huh? Do you need to consult our servant army on such a major matter?"

The pirate took a sip of a bottle of wine from nowhere, and though she didn't care, she shrugged her shoulders and replied when Mason asked her opinion:

"I don't have a big opinion, but if you need a suggestion, I'll tell you to help them!

The pirates know this.

If you have to refuse the absolute cooperation of every ill-intentioned person when you are in trouble at sea, you will soon be alone.

In this business, it's a heartbeat."

"Yes."

Lady Elizabeth crossed her arms and looked out into the depths of the sea.

She didn't know what she was thinking, and without looking back, she said:

"It's just a matter of seeing who is more sophisticated, Mason, and I have some confidence in your wisdom, I don't have as many eyes as you do at your age. Don't be afraid of them, the sky is falling and Mr. Hunter is on top of it.

Let's do it!"

"Since you all say so... Then do it!"

Mason let out a sigh of relief, reached out and touched the Sorting Hat, which was already screaming with excitement when he heard that the cleaner was about to be killed, and then looked at his teammates, and said:

"Let's fight the cleaners tonight, and try their quality by the way, even if we are caught by the Justice League after we go back, we have some hard goods on hand to negotiate.

Jack!

I know you've been eavesdropping!

Hurry the fuck and pull someone over, or we'll not make a splash if we throw them in, oh yes, don't forget to invite our Demon Knight.

There is an urgent need for a little power of justice here."
