Mason's three Kryptonian members are the strongest in the squad, but they can't do anything with Mjolnir, which has proven that sheer brute force means nothing to this thing.

The captain also wants to try the challenge of pulling out the hammer.

But he's clearly a sensible one.

Under the ghostly gaze of the eagle's eyes, Mason took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone to the dilapidated stone hammer in front of him:

"As long as I can, I, Mason Cooper, a returnee from this wasteland, I swear to do everything I can to help this post-apocalyptic homeland.

Just like your previous holder did. ”

Like a solemn oath, Mason then gripped the worn-out handle of the Mjolnir, and he seemed to have the illusion that the hammer was shaking, but after several seconds, the hammer remained untouched by the force of his entire body.

Well, the oath guessed wrong.

Thor's dying words have nothing to do with "guarding".

Hawkeye, who was staring at Mason's movements beside him, sighed regretfully, and the glimmer of anticipation in his eyes under his sunglasses dimmed.

The old hero took out the flask at his waist and twisted the lid open, and whispered:

"It's not your fault, Mason, it's just that this world is long gone. Just let it stay here, and let Thor's last wish rot with the world. ”

"If I could, I would like to do it too."

Mason glanced at the Black Death Sword suit that could no longer be suppressed on his left hand, and he said:

"I'm sorry, Clint, but your friend's relic may be going to be damaged today. As for me, when I can't get what I desperately need in the right way, I'm not hesitant to take a more 'flexible' approach. ”

"Huh"

A black, viscous liquid covered Thor's hammer like a swarm of snakes.

In an instant, thunder splashed and the wind and clouds changed color, making Hawkeye and the old wolf not far away raise their heads to look at the sky at the same time, this scene reminded them of the glorious scene of the man who controlled the thunder falling from the sky a long time ago.

However, this is only the instinctive counterattack of the dilapidated artifact that has lost its master, but it is no longer able to resist the bite of the wolf-like black death sword.

In just a few seconds, all visions vanished.

In the package of fine blue arcs, the black death sword lazily returned to Mason's wrist as if he had tasted a delicious snack.

Under the gaze of everyone, the hammer of Thor, which had been standing for seventeen years, fell to the ground with a bang, as if it had lost all its magic.

This made Hawkeye stand up.

He looked at Mason in surprise, who gave him an apologetic smile.

He really couldn't control the actions of the Black Death Sword, and the opportunity to delay and give him a try just now was for the sake of the Black Death Sword's "happy cooperation" with Mason before.

"Alright, the brute-force hack is complete, now let's reveal what Thor's last words were."

Mason bent down and reached out to pick up Mjournier, who had lost his divinity, his hand was heavy but still within the range of acceptance, as if all the divine power had been swallowed up and only a heavy shell remained.

This time, the entry of the Hammer was no longer disguised in Mason's eyes:

Mjournier Thor's Hammer

Quality: Epic Forge/Inscription/Enchanted Creation, Immortal Craft[Lack of divinity reduces quality]

Trait: Thunder Infusion: Death Star Crafting

Effect: The Mjolnir's Hammer has been reduced to a mortal thing, but it can still be considered a high-level magic item, with considerable lethality, and can summon a thunder attack in the user's hand.

Prompt!

Because it was created by a dwarf, Mjournir can be considered a forging hammer of the same quality, and when used to forge it, there is a chance to infuse the finished product with additional entries related to the Thunder and [War] realms.

The chance of this effect taking effect is related to the skill of the forger, and under the current forging skill, the chance of [Thunder Infusion] is triggered: Low.

Divine Law (lapsed):

One. Anyone who wields this hammer can harness the power of Thor, from the god king Odin.

Two. Whoever it is, please save my brother, from Thor Odinson, the god of thunder.

Maker: Atri of Nidawi

Item description: I just wanted to tell you that there is actually a way around that law, if you can listen to me, you will have a meow hammer that belongs to you, but unfortunately there is not enough space to write

"Want to know what Thor's dying wish was?"

Ignoring the description of the item that was clearly playing with his mentality, Mason turned back to Hawkeye with a hint of teasing, carrying the powerless Mjolnir, and said:

"I think it's going to be more than you can imagine."

"Say it."

Clint said with a complicated expression:

"I'll do my best to fulfill Thor's last wish, if we can do it."

"At the end of his life, he still hopes that someone can help him save Loki, his stinky brother who was born bad."

Mason shook his head.

He threw the freshly harvested hammer into his bag, patted the dust on his hands, and said with emotion:

"Sometimes I really envy Loki, and I don't think I need to think about the outcome when I'm doing something, because there's always a stupid big guy who is desperate to wipe my ass.

I suspect that the unique way the two brothers get along is just a little trick Loki uses to coquettish his brother, tsk, it doesn't feel right to say that. ”

"Speaking of which, I was reminded of a small piece of gossip I had heard before."

Hawkeye rubbed his chin with a messy beard and whispered:

"It is said that when the Fantastic Four blocked Loki, the evil god could have escaped, but he went crazy and fought with the Fantastic Four to the end.

maybe

The truth is exactly what you say.

The world without Thor is not worth nostalgia for Loki, who may have sensed the cruel truth that Thor died at the hands of the Hulk, and chose to kill himself with the death of his loved ones. ”

"But why?"

Mason's doubts grew more and more in his mind, and he asked:

"It is said that on the night of the nuclear war, the supervillains of the whole world united without warning, and they launched a counteroffensive against the righteous camp under the leadership of the Red Skull.

Sounds like crazy people going crazy en masse.

But even a madman does things for a reason, and if this was once the site of a massive nuclear bomb explosion, why is there almost no radiation left here?

Look here, Clint, it's much cleaner than Logan's farmstead in terms of radiation residue alone, and there are even these people who have survived here for seventeen years.

Maybe someone sucked up all the radiation during the nuclear explosion?

Is it the Hulk?

Inspired by gamma energy, he does have such abilities, which may explain the outcome of his battle with Thor, and killing Thor is not an easy task even for the furious Hulk. ”

"I haven't heard anything like it, but your guess is plausible, and it explains why Hulk went crazy with such horrific radiation being absorbed into a force that was enough to destroy his already useless brain.

As for the truth of the nuclear war, perhaps it is the prophesied apocalypse? ”

Hawkeye popped out a cigarette and put it in his mouth and said:

"As a result alone, the whole world and civilization did collapse after that night, which validates their previous prophecy of the end of the world."

"No, it's a planetary civil war at best."

Mason shook his head and said:

"The real crisis comes from outside the world, but I guess you're well protected and don't know what's going on outside in the last seventeen years."

"Protection?"

Hawkeye pursed his lips and said:

"That's the most I've ever heard! It's protection to make the world like this, and the values of you outsiders are so fucking distorted. ”

"You're at least alive, though like rats living in a garbage heap, feeding on scraps every day."

Mason pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, and he patiently said:

"It sounds miserable, but the truth is that you only need to focus on the food you eat and watch out for the malice of those around you, and you don't have to spend your little energy worrying about something more terrifying.

Truth be told, your 'carefree' state of existence will be envied on the outside. How? You don't believe it? Would you like to take a moment to hear me talk about what kind of troubles the entire parallel world system has encountered in the past 17 years? ”

Mason wanted to have a hard time with Clint.

Hawkeye was also a little moved, but at this moment, the captain suddenly felt that the black death sword suit on his wrist that had just been "full of food and drink" suddenly became excited.

He was amazed.

At the same time, Barbara's screams rang out in the communication:

"Mason! Something has rushed out of the ground! Come on! ”

Mason activated the Ring of Speed Force with a spirit, threw the spider cart into his bag the moment he entered the speed of light, and ran out several kilometers away with a smoke from the Eagle Eye.

The poor old hero was caught off guard and experienced the taste of a "supercar" that accelerated to the speed of light in a few tenths of a second, and at the moment when Mason showed his form, Clint fell to his knees with a puff, and almost vomited his stomach.

Bastard!

Even the balance of superheroes is not born to adapt to this rhythm!

You'd better get me ready before you run, okay?

"Boom"

But before Hawkeye could complain, one-fifth of the ground in Hammer Town suddenly collapsed.

Like a great earthquake that changes the earth's crust, or like the legendary earth dragon turning over, the already fallen buildings as far as the eye can see fall in rows, splashing a pile of smoke and dust.

Chaotic screams echoed throughout the city, and a fast-reacting Mason grabbed a replica wide falcon backpack and activated the thrusters and flew into the sky to look ahead.

Flying smoke severely reduced visibility.

But a nest of filthy black could be seen rolling in the cracks, like the legendary snake that devoured the world.

"What's that?"

Mason asked softly with a frown, and no one could answer him, as none of the K-Team 2.0 members had ever seen anything of this magnitude other than him and Barbara.

"Mason! I detected a very strange life signal. ”

Ten seconds after the earthquake struck, the bat girl's voice rang out in the team's communications, saying:

"The thing down there is a lot like Selena's Venom suit! But the bioenergy level is at least twenty times more! In addition, the blue beetle scanned the rift, and we were sure that the thing had hollowed out the underground space of Hammerfall Town and the nearby Gobi, like a monster hiding underground that had been alarmed by something.

The original flashpoint of this thing was in your area, what the hell did you do? ”

"Mjolnir!"

Mason narrowed his eyes, and the cause and effect were instantly linked, and he said:

"I took Mjournier so this thing got out of trouble. Well, a very reasonable explanation. It seems that it was the divine power of Thor's hammer that bound the surrounding ground, and it happened to suppress this thing in the ground and could not be freed. ”

He touched the extremely excited Black Death Sword suit on his wrist again.

The old brother's excitement at this time was not the excitement of seeing the food, but more like the excitement of seeing a bully of the same kind who could be "bullied" by it, which made Mason pout.

"You've finally found your kind, look at you."

He looked at the black giant symbiote that was still expanding the rift, and complained to the black death sword suit:

"But you're not going to help me, so how can I clean up this mess now?"

"Catch! Fusion! Complete! ”

The Black Death Sword Suit understood what Mason meant, and rarely took the initiative to convey a wisp of consciousness information to his "pendant", which was very vague, but he could still distinguish its meaning.

"Maybe it's because the giant symbiote in front of me has undergone some kind of qualitative change on top of the quantitative change?"

The Isu biologist Consus projected on Mason's side, explaining to Mason with his own speculations in his professional field:

As the apex of the King's Landing symbiote, the Black Death Sword Fragment was dismissive of the venom in Selena's hand, but it became interested in the extremely gigantic sample in front of it.

You should meet its requirements, my brother.

This may allow you to complete the Black Death Sword fragment in your hand, or unlock more vitality. ”

"But is it really necessary?"

The hat on Mason's head complains:

"I think this guy is active enough, and it's only interested in divine enemies, so it seems a bit of a loss to let Mason risk his teammates getting injured to attack such a dangerous enemy?"

"No, Your Excellency."

Consus explained slowly:

"The Black Death Sword Fragment only attacks divine enemies, in addition to its own pride, it is also because it is in a weakened state, and giving it more options may help it exert its power more often."

"Is that really the case?"

Mason was skeptical.

Eventually, however, he chose to trust Consus's expertise in his field, but Mason needed to gather a little more information about the target before he could set up the action.

"Blue beetle!"

The Captain instructs in the team newsletter that:

"Turn on the life scan mode of the Scarab system and sweep this guy from start to finish! Then tell me the conclusion, don't get any closer to the others.

Harley, using her jet bike to send the Hauntleys and Hawkeye out of the danger zone. ”

"Roger!" X2

Two energetic responses, one male and one female, rang out.

The blue scooter swerved out of the smoky Hammer Town, and Harley, with her goggles, jerked the gas pedal, while the old wolf sat in the car and clutched Mason's magic suitcase.

His family is inside.

Behind Harley, the blue beetle, armed with an alien scarab, sped towards the giant black symbiote that was tearing the earth apart below.

Inheriting the folk customs of the Texans, the cowboy boy is surprisingly bold, and he is not afraid of the behemoth with a diameter of about ten meters in front of him.

But when he got closer, he realized that what he thought was a "giant snake" didn't have any snake skin or bones that made people's scalps tingle.

The thing was only covered in a layer of rock crust on the outside, and after the heavy rock carapace gradually shattered, the "body" was still staggered and tumbling like black mud.

It's like oil.

"It's disgusting."

He cursed, and then activated the life detection as Mason asked.

The life detection of the cosmic war weapon was extraordinary, and the blue beam of light shot out from the blue beetle's arm, sweeping like an X-ray into the surging mass below, allowing him to sweep from head to tail for ten seconds, and then reported:

"Report to the captain! The cosmic life in the form of a suspected parasite has grown to a very advanced level and is suspected to possess super-devouring immortality.

Information on the scarab's weaknesses is not included in the Scarab's database, but its advice is to use fire! I can make a flamethrower."

"Your little water gun should be put away first, it won't be useful."

Mason asked:

"Did you find a host for the symbiote on the scan?"

"Host?"

The blue beetle was stunned for a moment, then replied after reviewing the information and confirming it repeatedly:

"Nope! No! This symbiote is a single life, and there is no second life signal in its body. ”

"Sure enough, your guess is right, Consus."

Mason nodded, and for a moment it became clear where the excitement of the Black Death Sword came from, and he levitated in the air and said:

"The venom in front of us is suspected to have completed 'evolution', and like the Black Death Sword, it doesn't need a host to maintain its individual existence. No wonder the Black Death Sword Master was excited because of its appearance. ”

"I've always been right in my profession, my brother."

Consus's figure dissipated into pixels, and he reminded:

"This anomalous symbiote is targeting life in the city, it's obviously hungry and wants to feast on its brothers, whatever you want to do, hurry up."

"Catch it, of course."

Mason rubbed his chin and watched the drastic geological changes in front of him.

In the voice of a researcher, he said:

"The environment of the wasteland and the fierce battle of seventeen years ago have clearly made Venom have a certain change of interest, and it is so dynamic that it can obviously be used as better research material.

Tsk, you can meet but you can't get it.

The wasteland of my hometown is so generous that it doesn't disappoint. ”
