In the square of Block C of Osborne Tower, the huge transfer door is shining like a wall of light curtains, and the doomsday refugees from another world are rushing out of it one after another.

Many of them were still covered in ash and blood, some were carrying children, some were dragging boxes, and many more rushed in empty-handed with fear on their faces.

What catches your eye is a towering metal tower that no 18th-century man could have imagined in any way, and an indifferent city that glows in the sun with a silvery gray glow.

It's a very different scenery from the Port of Virginia.

Let these people fleeing from the apocalypse always subconsciously stop and look, and then a long stick with electricity will come down, scolding them to move forward immediately and not block the path of those behind them.

There are too many people, this is the transfer of nearly a million people in the apocalypse, even if the old Green Goblin vacates the large square in Area C that can accommodate tens of thousands of people in advance, but a slight stagnation will still cause pushing and even stampede accidents.

The current Iceberg Bar security personnel and ex-pirates from the Black Pearl did not hesitate to carry out this mission, and the black uniforms who knocked the sticks down in their hands would always make the overwhelmed grin.

There were also guards wearing flight reports flying around in the air to maintain order.

But no one is complaining.

They were all horrified by the apocalyptic scene they had just witnessed.

"Cat goddess! It's a goddess! ”

The crowd didn't know who shouted, and suddenly a large group of people rushed over and gathered around Selena, who was wearing a cloak and still a little pale, and was being supported by Mary Jane.

These superstitious people from the sea have long heard the legend of the "cat goddess who brings hope", and the sight of real people, combined with the experience of being actually fished out of disaster, makes their wandering hearts almost instantaneously return to hearsay faith.

The tearful prayer in despair is so sincere.

It's enough to impress people.

This sudden scene made Catwoman, who was leading the servant army to maintain order in this square, a little at a loss for a while, and when the people on Turtle Island shouted the cat goddess, she just thought it was funny and let it go.

But right now, it's a terrible situation.

Seeing that more and more people are coming to her to bow down, if they don't stop it, they may really come up with a strange religion. But just as Selena was standing on a box with Mary Jane's arms in her arms, ready to explain, Mason's voice came from behind:

"Let them go, don't explain too much."

"Huh?"

Catwoman looked back at Mason, who had already put on his black Superman armor but didn't have a helmet.

The chest of this heavy armor no longer emitted a purple fluorescence, but instead it was a shimmering Ark reactor, which looked like it had ignited a light in the black metal from a distance.

"They are people from an ancient world where gods exist, Selena, and faith is a part of their lives."

Nearly 2.5 meters tall, Mason, dressed in power armor, is like a majestic metal knight, approaching the "cat goddess" in the eyes of the frightened and fearful gaze of the doomsday refugees.

He said to Selena, who was full of hesitation:

"Rather than let those invented cults occupy the hearts of these refugees after the end of the world, it is better for you to do it, at least we all know that you will not let these poor people do some cruel human sacrifice and the like, except for these poor people to give you all kinds of jewelry.

Bringing them here is just the beginning."

Mason looked at the growing number of doomsday refugees in front of him, shook his head and said:

"Osborne's Tower can't accommodate so many people, and the old Green Goblin told me they had to rebuild their lives in abandoned New York City after a short break, and that Dr. Connors's lizardmen would help them as much as they could.

Any beneficial stabilizing factor in this case is precious.

Since they call you a goddess, then you can simply pretend to be a real goddess, your appearance and temperament are absolutely enough, and I think this kind of Cos difficulty is not difficult for you. ”

"I don't like to play tricks."

Catwoman crossed her waist and said:

"While it's true that there are many men who have complimented me as their goddess on various occasions, I don't think the two have the same meaning.

Are you going to pass?

Can I help you?

You know, Bruce came to see me the other day, and I told him everything I could tell him as you asked. I think if you need help, just a phone call away and he'll start mobilizing right away.

For something like this, no one in the Justice League dares to oppose it, otherwise Dachao will blow their heads off. ”

"We're going to need him, but not now, we've got our troubles and they've got theirs. I'll leave it to you, ladies, and we'll see you after the war. ”

Mason shook his head and put on the black battle helmet, and the moment the metal battle helmet buckle was fastened, the special Isu Vanguard Armor data module was immediately connected, and the sorting hat that was originally worn on his head immediately transformed into a head ring and buckled on the young man's forehead, which did not affect the human-computer interaction between him and the anti-superman armor.

The heavily armed anti-superman armor strode forward like a giant, and the doomsday refugees rushing out of the light curtain in front of them naturally made way for the black mechanical warrior.

People whispered that this was the Iron Knight under the throne of the great and beautiful cat goddess.

The 2077 War Vehicle Lizard, which had been modified from the inside out, slowly moved forward in a levitating stance, with an oversized Warframe Storage Tank clasped into its rear armor filled with weapon modules.

"It's about to enter the door of transfer, and the Dlastain program takes over, moving to autonomous driving. Good luck guys, Mason. ”

Judy's voice rang out in the communication of the anti-Superman Warframe.

She advised:

"I equipped the lizard with a self-detonation module, and it is quite powerful. Don't skimp on vehicles when necessary, you already have the drawings, and you can knock one out with both hands.

People are the most important thing.

In addition, I have contacted Lao Wei, who has prepared a full set of prosthetics to be connected to the operating cabin. I know you don't want you or your team members to be 'transhumans' like us.

But it's a war after all.

Just let it go.

As long as you're not dead, we can get you back. ”

"Hey! Didn't Captain Morgan teach you? ”

Before entering the light curtain of the Diversion Gate, Mason replied dissatisfiedly:

"Don't put up such a flag before the big war! And you can say something good. ”

With such a complaint, Mason's figure disappeared into the starlight curtain, and the lizard vehicle that turned into autopilot behind him was also very stable and approached the light curtain like a flying heavy tank.

The neutral male voice of the intelligent AI de la Man, who was originally driving a taxi in Night City, echoed in the empty cockpit:

"The Delamain intelligent travel program is at your service, and the current service program is the 'Keep Improving' package, the battle mode is unlocked, and the vehicle body is self-checked"

The moment he entered the light curtain, the originally peaceful electronic sound suddenly became irritable.

Although the voice is still the same voice, this AI seems to have entered the state of "cyber psychosis" from the mode of "electronic butler" all of a sudden, and screamed hoarsely:

"Didi! King! Eight! Egg! Kill you! ”

"What's going on on the other side?"

The shrill shouts startled Zakang and Jack, who were still in Virginia City on the other side of the transfer gate, and the two guys were organizing the orderly evacuation of the people in the city, and then saw that the transfer door was temporarily cut off.

The familiar black armor strode out, causing the crowd to exclaim.

Behind Mason, a powerful gadget that looked like a combination of a tank and a floating vehicle appeared little by little, causing the poor people who were frightened by the sudden change in the scene to fall to their knees as soon as their legs went limp.

"Delaman, the first test of the gravity well module."

Mason, who was in the driver's seat, said to the onboard AI from the cockpit:

"Activate it, slowly intensify the electrical stimulation, be gentle, don't drive it to the maximum all at once."

"I get that, Mason, you don't have to stress that."

The automatic program in the tank has gone crazy, but this Dramain program in the Mason armor is still very stable, and this intelligent AI suspected of multiple schizophrenia said in a gentle voice:

"After leaving Night City, I was used extensively in various settings for the afterlife, including laboratory support procedures. I was reprogrammed to be able to autonomously complete the testing of new modules, you just need to focus on giving orders during combat, dear passengers.

Well, the test of the new module begins.10% power supply"

"Buzz"

An arc of electricity pulsed at the boots of the Anti-Superman Warframe, which was activated by the two gravity well engineering devices that Mason had put in, and the liquid gravity was stimulated by the current to transform the surrounding gravity and exert it on the heavy Warframe.

In Mason's exclamation, the anti-superman armor took off on the spot in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed up to a height of 100 meters with its hands dancing.

Luckily, this thing wasn't rocket-propelled, otherwise his poor maneuvering would have been enough to make him lose his stability and do Brownian motion in the air.

This very unscientific gravity well was activated to create an invisible "anti-gravity force field", in which Mason and his Warframe were encased.

Therefore, although the attitude of the lift-off is very bad, it will not fall down again if it flies up.

"With all due respect, passengers."

The onboard AI Delaman was also taken aback, and it hurriedly reduced the power supply so that Mason would not continue to float so that he would not fly into the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters and freeze to death, while kindly reminding:

"You may need to install a flight control module to help you better operate this gravity well system that I don't understand at all, or maybe you can enter the knowledge about 'magic' into my database to help me better learn deeply."

"Shut up! You terrible third-rate driver. ”

Mason scolded angrily.

The good-natured Delamane did not refute that this time it was indeed not good enough.

"I'll manually control the power input from the gravity well, and you'll take care of the rest."

He adjusted his mode to get used to the way he was flying in the air, and it took him a few minutes to land next to Zakang and Jack.

With a click, the full-coverage visor bounced off the sides, revealing Mason's face.

He looked left and right, and the reflection of the suspended world above his head was much more "real" than before he left, and at this rate, it could completely "coincide" with the earth at Mason's feet in a day.

"Do you hear that?"

Holding the coral trident as a staff, Slag Kang said beside Mason, and mysterious:

"The ground beneath our feet is groaning in pain, and every minute and every second it is crumbling with overwhelming weight, it is the sound of the collapse of the continental shelf and this is just the beginning.

Our 'new friends' harness the sea to keep the rapidly rising sea levels from backing up, but a global high tide has formed.

The world will be buried by the icy waters, and in the abyss, which is colder than ice, the scorching center of the earth will also fall apart, and finally the world will be exposed to deep space with a bang.

At that time, may our death please the dark stars. ”

"Shut up! When have you been reciting poetry, are you possessed by Itregan? ”

Mason Says:

"It's not that you won't be allowed to run, and I didn't say that I would fight to the death here. Haven't the cleaners arrived yet? ”

"No, but soon."

Captain Jack held a cigarette butt in his mouth and squeezed the small pistol in his hand quite restlessly, and said:

"Colypso was uneasy, she said she could sense danger approaching, but the formation of a large tide was a good thing, and it made her much more powerful as a sea god."

"Here's what you're given."

Mason saw Jack's uneasiness, and he took the model of the Batmobile out of his bag and handed it to his team members, saying:

"The weapon system has been replaced, and Draman's onboard AI is in charge of piloting, so you can manipulate the weapon to blow it up. It's all foolish interactions that don't bother you, it's your world, it's your land, Jack.

You'll have to fight for it. ”

"Mason!"

The second bucket and Barbara also jumped down from the crumbling tower with their flying claws, and jumped to Mason's side, but the bat girl had no fear on her face, and she whispered to Mason as she fell:

The pirates tried to run too, but Will Turner suddenly appeared and stopped them. Captain Ghost asked them to stay and fight, but no one wanted to listen, so."

"They were on fire, and it was a one-sided massacre."

The second bucket said succinctly:

"The pirates were slain on their backs, and their bodies were pulled back onto the ghost ship. Barbossa was already in captivity, he had a special status and had no resistance, so Will Turnado gave him some time.

But he wants to see you. ”

"Well, I'll see him right away."

Mason nodded, pointed to the lizard chariot suspended in the air not far away, and said to Barbara and the second bucket:

"You go ahead and pilot that, Draman takes over the piloting, and you take care of firing and maneuvering the drone swarm. Two buckets, after the start of the fight you go to help Colypso, but you have to remember your mission. ”

"I understand!"

The second bucket nodded, touched the hilt of the Alice saber at his waist, and said:

"If I can't do anything, I'll make her suffer less."

"There's no need to go that far."

Zakang spit out the smoke ring, stroked the coral trident in his hand, and said with his eyes squinted and rolled his eyes:

"This thing can hold divinity, we don't need to give that precious thing to the hunters, Mason doesn't trust them anyway, we can hide it ourselves.

With divinity in hand, I still can't get rid of the curse, but at least I can make sure that the hidden dangers of that thing won't deepen.

That way, Colypso can survive in human form, and we don't have to die here. ”

"That's a good idea."

Captain Jack complained beside him:

"But you have to convince the unruly goddess of the sea to listen to you, and you want her to surrender her power, and I don't think she'll do it meekly. At the end of the day, you'll have to fight.

It's better for Mason to arrange it now.

Kill people with knives, don't dirty our hands. ”

"No, no, no."

Mason rolled his eyes, shook his head and explained:

"I'm not as bad as you think, Jack, don't spread rumors and slander. The choice has always been in Colypso's hands, and she is unwilling to give up her divine power to fight the mad dogs to the death.

But we also talked to her before.

We can arrange for her to leave at any time if she wants to.

I also hope that it will end perfectly, but we don't count it.

Prepare yourselves.

I'm going to meet Barbossa. ”

He turned around and was not very skilled in activating the power connection of the gravity well module, and this time instead of "spiraling up", he did a squat and jump in place.

With a whoosh, it flew into the air and flew towards the docks that had been blocked by the flying Dutchman.

The pirates under house arrest are trapped here, and the eerie Dutchman stands proudly above the rolling waves, with cursed pirates rising and falling in the undulating waters.

Mason landed on the half-submerged dock, and when he landed, he felt the ground shake violently, but the monstrous pirate captain in front of him stood straight in the water.

His already twisted hand grasped the sea monster sword at his waist, not like a man seeking death in the face of the end, but like a commander reviewing the fleet and preparing to go on an expedition.

"Will!"

Mason shouted.

Captain Ghost turned his head, a smile on his face, which would have scared a crying child, and said:

"Mason, you're not gone yet. It's really reassuring, it seems that we don't have to fight alone anymore. ”

"It doesn't have to be like this."

Mason approached him and whispered:

"The Trident is in our hands, and I can lift your curse if you want, and you can go over to the other side to be with your wife and children.

No one will despise you for that, and you and your crew are brave enough. ”

"Nope! Don't give us hope, Mason. ”

The monstrous Will Turner shook his head, and then stretched out his tentacle-like finger to the rising ocean in front of him, and said:

"We were once the evil symbol of this world, we were called monsters and scum, but in this time of despair, even we have made a final pact with our world and our civilization!

We're still fighting.

So, our world is not dead!

We know we're going to hell, but no matter what hell we're in, we're going to be the best ghosts."

"A world is coming to an end, Mason, my companion."

Old Teague's voice also came from behind him.

The dashing old pirate, who seemed to have no doomsday at all to affect his mood, sat there with a guitar in his arms and plucked the strings, and in the old and sad melody he whispered:

"There are always people who stand up and fight for it, just like a closing ceremony, there must be someone to cheer for it, this is our choice, bless us."

The old pirate smiled mysteriously and said to Mason:

"But we'll see you again, I promise!"
