The Lizard Chariot, which had fallen into the sea, finally got rid of the ice and began to rise.

The bat girl clutched her shockingly hot head, as if it were boiling, and weakly jumped out of the driver's seat and shot its claws at the tide ahead, pulling Jason to her side with difficulty.

But she couldn't even complete this action with the terrible pain in her brain, and with a flick of her wrist, she lay on the armor of the lizard tank, and the healing needle she pulled out in her hand also slipped into the sea water floating up and down beside her.

"Nope."

Barbara looked at the two buckets floating on the water in the distance, and she groaned in pain:

"Who's going to help me"

Perhaps the bat girl's prayer was actually heard by something, and the moment she struggled to get up, the healing injection, which had sunk into the sea, was lifted up from under the water by a strange tentacle hand covered with white horns and barnacles.

A twisted shadow moved quickly in the water, and with the other hand pushed Jason Todd, who had sunk into the water, onto the armor of the lizard tank suspended above the sea.

Barbara looked into the water.

A familiar, weather-beaten face could be seen through the water, with a few gold teeth in his mouth and an old hat on his head, but his body had twisted into a half-monstrous shape like his captain at this point.

Captain Barbossa

Barbara called.

The distorted shadow underneath didn't look back, but waved goodbye to her, and then disappeared into the cold, muddy waters.

The Batgirl pulled the frighteningly low barrel over, grabbed the injection made from the life-saving potion mixed with the blood of a unicorn that Mason had given her, plunged it into Jason's neck, and put him in the driver's seat of the Lizard Chariot.

The thrusters of this combat vehicle are being self-examined and repaired, and as a technological weapon of the future era, it has a complete biological monitoring and protection system, and the two barrels of seriously injured people will be treated and maintained in it.

With Mason's magic potion, as long as he doesn't have his head cut off, he can still be saved, so it's a big deal to send the second bucket to Judy and replace him with some prosthetics, and it won't be long before he is a good man again.

"Old De, we have to go back and send us over. The sea is heating up, and the world can't hold on. ”

Barbara struggled back into the cockpit.

She grabbed a packet of ice cubes and placed them on her hot forehead to physically cool the anterior lobe, in which case she didn't dare to connect to the lizard's consciousness console again, but luckily there was an old driver AI in operation in the scattered tank that had been dismantled by Bizarro.

And just as the thing was struggling to start, a cracked hand snapped onto the scandium alloy reactive armor of the Lizard Tank.

Then a guy with a knife stuck in his back struggled to climb onto the top cover.

This movement was immediately picked up by the tank's external surveillance, and Barbara grabbed the Mox shotgun in her hand the moment she saw the miserable zombie Superman climb up.

She glanced at the unconscious second bucket beside her, gritted her teeth, and shouted to the on-board AI:

"Self-detonation program activated! Dlaman, shoot us both out and blow this guy up by the way! ”

"Calm down! Passenger Four, the target seems to be talking! ”

The intelligent AI Delaman stopped Barbara's somewhat overreacting, activating the sound acquisition module, allowing the weak voice of the zombie Superman lying in the back of the tank to be transmitted into the cockpit.

Here's what the guy said:

"Help. Brought monsters to weak enemies. I slept. Kill me"

"Is this a provocation? So hard? ”

Barbara's teeth were rubbing out of the sparks, but Delaman explained:

"Passenger No. 1 said before that all the actions of this living being, including thinking, are reversed, so this program guesses that what he really wants to express is that he wants us to save him?"

——

"Your team members are very powerful, all the superhuman fourth-ranked guys in the cleaner sequence have been defeated by you, it seems that Team K is really not just a C-class team.

I can probably see why old Norman insisted that I stop by and talk to you. ”

In the ruins of the highest city hall in Virginia City, completely covered by the runaway tide, Tony Stark, sitting in a lame chair in the dim zone, stared at the Fenrir armor in front of him.

To be precise, it was Mason who was staring at him in the cockpit where the armor popped open.

The fists of the giant power armor in front of this guy were raised.

The left arm is an enlarged caliber freeze gun, and the right arm is an EMP jammer composed of electromagnetic circles, and four high-energy particle shoulder cannons pop out of the silver-gray armor shoulder, constantly moving back and forth to aim at various important positions on his body.

At the slightest movement, Mason will turn the last 5% of his energy into a lethal attack and smash it on him.

At the foot of the Fenrir armor is a storage box of the dismantled red nano-blood-edged armor that only remains of the wreckage, like a high-tech suitcase, with a very classic red and gold livery.

This thing is Mason's "trophy".

He wasn't going to give it back to anyone or to anyone.

"Are you going to stay silent forever? Stare me to death with your eyes? ”

Mason's silence soon upset Tony Stark in front of him, he crossed his legs in the lame chair, raised his left arm and looked at a watch-like instrument in front of him, and said very politely:

"The shock is accelerating, and the world is only fifteen minutes away from the final collapse, and it is conservatively estimated that we will both have ten minutes to deal with each other's personal affairs, so there are only five minutes left to talk.

Would you like me to prove my identity by telling me some details from the Battle of Doom more than three years ago? ”

"Not necessarily! I'm sure you're from the Norman side, otherwise it wouldn't have been me who would have been unlucky first. ”

Mason squinted his eyes and asked:

"What position do you hold in the parent organization of the Stellar Society? And why did he enter here as a conqueror, etc., the second question does not need to be answered.

Are you here to pick up old J?

Are you hooking up with the Quint Club? It's pretty fast. ”

"Two mistakes!"

Tony Stark, who was in front of Mason, touched his coquettish beard, held up two fingers and said:

"First of all, I'm not in the parent organization of the Stars, I work in their sister organization, a place called 'Fox's Nest', where the best and most talented researchers in the parallel world gather.

The Fox's Nest is responsible for collecting various conjectures about the apocalyptic impact in various parallel worlds, refining and verifying them, in an attempt to restore the principle and truth of the impact.

This brings us to your second mistake.

I'm not here as a 'conqueror,' Mason.

I'm here as a frontline researcher.

At this time, I was in charge of collecting the laws of the various imbalances of cosmological constants caused by the impact of two parallel planes in the event of an impact, and in order to deduce whether it was possible to create an instrument to resist such an impact.

I picked 248 targets to collect data for this impact, and at this moment my 24 detectors are orbiting the two worlds that are colliding to collect data.

So theoretically, it's not me who entered your battlefield, but you who broke into my testing ground. ”

"Sounds amazing."

Mason was a little convinced of the guy in front of him, and he raised his eyebrows and said:

"So, is this really achievable?"

"Absolutely!

With the help of advanced or exotic technology that the good dogs of the Stars Society have recovered for us from various worlds, I am completely confident that I will be able to collect all kinds of data when the worlds collide.

It's not difficult at all. ”

Tony Stark snapped his fingers and said:

"You can even do it, you just need to be familiar with it for a while to design a similar instrument, and I actually think it can be done by a pedigal dog next to a computer."

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about your collection of data."

Mason corrected:

"I mean, your idea of experimentation, to design an instrument to withstand the collision of two worlds, can this really be achieved?"

"Uh, that's it."

Iron Man pursed his lips, spread his hands very frankly, and said:

"Of course not."

"Huh?"

Mason was stunned, and then he heard the guy in front of him say in a long voice:

"If I could do this kind of thing, I would have solved the shock incident at the root of the incident a long time ago, and then I would have some free time to come here and chat with you little one?

This research project was originally set up to facilitate the concealment of my identity and to defraud me of funds, so as to support the old Norman's efforts to stay in his hometown.

The project was so popular that it wouldn't be suspected, and at least six of them were engaged in similar projects.

Three of the remaining four are magicians trying to achieve this goal.

The last one was downright neurotic. ”

Iron Man snorted, shook his head and said:

"But it's not that simple, it's more troublesome than you think, the fox nest was established before the stars, swallowing countless resources but not even a fart so far.

I have to tragically admit that the result of our work at this time is a lump of defense. ”

"Won't it?"

Mason was surprised and said:

"Countless geniuses in countless worlds have gathered together to study for more than twenty years, and it is impossible not to be able to come up with an answer, right?"

"No, on the plus side, we do have the answer at hand."

Tony rubbed his forehead and explained:

"At worst, we TMD have too many answers.

There are no less than 150 mathematical model conjectures of shock events in the fox's nest database, and the worst thing is that each of them can be confirmed from some direction.

This means that each of those fanciful and even contradictory ideas is correct"

"It can't be!"

Mason immediately shook his head and said:

"I can understand that there are multiple solutions to a problem, but this kind of thing"

"The easier the problem, the more solutions there are."

Tony Stark stood up and walked out of the shadows with his hands behind his back, looked up at Mason in the tremor of the earth, and said:

"This shows that the truth of the impact incident is not as complicated as we think, there is no conspiracy, there is no terrible villain, maybe it is a self-destruction of the entire parallel world system that is too old.

Just as every universe will eventually enter heat death, and every life will usher in death.

If you're too old, you'll have to die once.

Of course, that's not something I'm going to discuss with you for the remaining two minutes, and frankly, it's a little too hard for you to think about it right now with your research rank.

I'm actually just bringing you a message for Norman, Mason. ”

"Click"

The control pod of the Fenrir armor bounced outward, and Mason, dressed in the Isu armor, jumped out of it, confronted Tony Stark in front of him, and said:

"I've only seen him before, less than 24 hours ago, and since he asked you to bring me something, he can't say it to my face.

He has watchers by his side? ”

"Not yet, but he doesn't want to arouse the suspicion of his 'new friends.'"

Iron Man shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Although it sounds troublesome, Norman has been able to hide under the nose of the stars for three years by relying on this kind of caution and long-sleeved good dancing, you Quint Society, it is indeed not simple.

We've been in contact with them on all fronts, and they've taken over our system and incorporated our intelligence network into them.

They are very efficient, seem to be very executing, and welcome new people.

The only problem is that they have taken over our intelligence system and demanded that we stop all covert searches and sabotage of the Stars.

The reason is that we are afraid of being exposed.

But to be honest, this behavior makes me very suspicious of their motives. ”

Hearing this, Mason raised his eyes and said faintly:

"We really can't look at everything, what if we do find something embarrassing? I probably understood what old Norman meant, and he was starting to suspect that Quint would.

It's the same as I thought.

I now feel more and more that perhaps Quint will be just a group of 'reformists' rather than the 'opposition' as we originally thought they were. They want to take over and transform the Stars, not overthrow and dissolve them as I want. ”

"Yes, that's what it means, you're a smart person."

Tony nodded happily, looked at Mason, and said:

"That's what Norman wants me to tell you.

He's not happy with the situation, so he's going to keep making friends with you.

Because he knows that you really want to turn the dark ages that the stars will shape upside down, and that is what he and those of us are for.

Norman Osborne knows that you doubt his sincerity, and he does not intend to prove it, but he has guessed the difficulty of your operation, so he has entrusted me to help you when you are about to be annihilated.

His meaning was obvious.

He doesn't expect or expect you to trust us, but when you're in despair, you can at least count on us to pull you out of the quagmire. In many cases, this is actually the basis for the two sides to deepen their cooperation. ”

"No, I don't know what you guys think, but I know that old Norman did all this just to be in power."

Mason bluntly debunked this claim, saying:

"That ambitious man couldn't get ahead in the previous Star Society, so he pinned his hopes on the Quint Society, and now he found that the Quint Society is also a raccoon dog but is unwilling to be just an executor.

He wanted him and no one else to take over the Stars, and he thought he could do better than the bugs now.

Tony, do you believe Norman Osborne? Or may I ask you a question I asked Norman, why did you lurk in the fox's den for more than three years? ”

"A lot of people are dead, and I'm still alive."

Tony Stark craned his neck and said:

"So the unfinished business of those who died should be carried out by those of us who are still alive, and I lost a lot on that night three years ago, and almost all of my best friends were gone.

I don't like Steve, he's pretty much the opposite of me, but I'm sorry and angry about his death.

Listen!

I'm not interested in what Norman really thinks, I don't care what he wants to do! All I know is that working with him will bring me one step closer to my goal.

I might as well be honest with you, Mason.

My friends and I are already on the verge of finding the coordinates of the world where the 'superior agency' is located, and the layers of encrypted 'evil heart' are about to be exposed to us.

And then"

The Iron Man in front of him showed a hideous smile, fleeting, and then straightened his collar in a gentle tone, winked at Mason and said:

"You know, my friends and I will deal with them the way they treat other worlds! Now give me an answer, Mason, are you going to follow your superiors and continue to mess with the Quint Society?

Or do you want to stand with Norman and us? ”

Faced with this question, Mason shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Why do I have to choose one? Why can't I have both? ”

"Huh?"

Tony Stark glanced at him in surprise, and Mason didn't hide it, saying:

"The foundation of the existence of the Star Society is the door of the world, and if you want to destroy this organization, you must first destroy that door and kill the devil who guards that door.

So, you see, we both have our own things to do.

You're secretly looking for the world where the 'higher authorities' are located, and I'm here to take care of the world's gates, and you need a place where we can meet and give us temporary shelter.

Why do you have to choose this time to stand on your own?

And my superiors

He's something to fight for, so leave that to me, and don't forget to call me when you take your friends to set the world of the 'higher authorities' on fire and burn the instigators of everything to ashes. ”

Mason shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I really don't want to miss that show."

"Okay, I'll treat you as our friend for the time being, Mason."

Tony Stark took a deep look at the young man in front of him, he reached out and patted Mason on the shoulder, and said:

"But to join our 'party', you and your people have to be a little bit better, and the little girl on your team is trapped in the components of her mind that manipulates Bizarro's data, and it's not a safe option.

Anim Zola, who sees Bizaro as the perfect flesh and has been manipulating him in that brainless superhuman mind, is a dangerous opponent, and you'd better put his data consciousness in a tighter prison.

Now, turn away with your men, Mason, there's nothing to see in this world that will be sacrificed to the dark stars.

I'll have to continue my experiments.

It's a cheating on money, but the end of not being able to get something out is miserable, and I don't want to be executed by those guys in the name of 'wasting resources'.

Especially when I know they can do such a thing. ”

Iron Man snapped his fingers, and a new suit appeared on his body quickly, and the out-of-tune guy admired the surprised look on Mason's face at this time.

He squeezed his eyes in a pleasant tone and said:

"Also, you don't really think that breaking a suit of armor means that you defeat the famous Iron Man, do you? You'll have to work a little harder to get there, C-class. ”
