When Hawkeye, who was having a good time at Attillan's human bar, was invited back, he saw his angry daughter standing beside Mason.

Not only did he put on a new cool red spider suit, but he also put on a loyal guard.

Clint Sr. didn't understand what was going on for a moment, but he could probably guess that it was his rebellious daughter who had been recruited by Mason as a reservist member of Team K.

Hawkeye had a headache at the thought of following Mason to live a "good life" of licking blood in the chaotic and dangerous parallel world system in the future.

Although this bastard girl wanted to kill him to show her strength before, after all, she was her own cub, and it didn't seem good to just let him go.

"I can take her place!"

Old Clint said to Mason, who was sitting at his workbench making something in a complicated way:

"I can join you at your disposal, Mason. Ashley's personality is already quite bad, and the lack of discipline since childhood has made her obviously not good at teamwork, and she has an inexplicable fanaticism for violence.

She's not fit to be your team, and her reckless personality will get you in trouble. ”

"What do you say! Old immortal guy! ”

When Ashley heard her old father say this about her, she suddenly became angry, screaming loudly and planning to come forward and have a "father and daughter" duel with her father.

But Mason just snorted, and she immediately obediently returned to her place.

This indescribable well-behaved behavior caused Hawkeye to break through his glasses, and then following Mason's finger instructions, Clint saw the mechanical box that had been opened.

This made him suddenly get up, and the shock in his heart was self-evident.

His biggest secret is revealed.

Damn it!

At the beginning, Romanov clearly told him that this box could not be opened by violent means! Only permissions from the highest level will make it possible to turn it on

Yes!

It's Black Bolt!

That silent and sinister old bastard!

"I promised to give Ashley a serum, so she'll be a supernumerary member of me for the time being, and I've made a three-chapter agreement with her, promising to introduce her into Team K's reserve system afterwards.

There happened to be another flawed little madman with whom she could be acquainted, and the two little ones were about the same age and equally violent in their adversity, and they would surely have a common language. ”

Mason explained in a calm tone:

"In addition, I checked Ashley's blood, and her spider blood is not complete, and the most important spider senses have not been inherited at all, so she can only be regarded as a low-end rough version of Spider-Woman.

That's not going to work.

I happen to be doing research on the 'Beast Senses' in my biology lab, so Ashley Parker will be my research assistant when she returns to Osborna, and her main job is to be studied.

You are her guardian, Clint, and I must have your permission for these actions.

I've already spoken to your ex-wife, May, and she agrees with me about Ashley's career plan and will follow Ashley to Osborne Tower for a long stay.

What about you? ”

"I'll give you a punch, bastard!"

Hawkeye roared angrily:

"You TMD ruined everything! These drugs are not for you! The rebels need it more than you do! You'll just walk around the world and leave, but order is needed here!

Idiot!

Are you blind?

Without order we are maggots living in hell, I have seen with my own eyes how beautiful a world of order is, and I just want to bring it back now!

You!

You've ruined ten years of my efforts."

"Pathetic!"

Ashley mercilessly mocked her old father, who was now insane, but Mason said to him in a more rational tone:

"Not to mention the existence of the 'rebels' who have been hidden in the hearts of the enemy for seventeen years without being discovered, just your plan itself.

If you think 99 untrained super soldiers can take on a blackened version of the X-Men amassed from a 'Reserve Conqueror' base that has been operating under the wasteland for seventeen years, then I'd think you've been driven mad by the disaster, Clint.

Your plan to bring order to the wasteland was doomed from the start.

I should probably describe to you the concept of the power of the A-class members of the Stellar Society and what it means for a Grand Mentor to focus on it, but before that, give me a try on it. ”

He paused.

Combining the three-part bow body made on the workbench in his hand, the black mechanical warbow was lit up in an instant as the Isu inscription on its surface was activated.

The mysterious and simple geometric lines on its bow are filled with pale yellow light, adding a touch of mystery to this war bow.

Mason then picked up a bowstring made of unicorn's mane and attached it to the bow's arm, and made an Isu-style battle hunting bow.

And its information label is also fully presented at this moment:

Dawning Blade: Hades Warbow

Weapon Quality: Epic Engineering Creation: Exquisite Craftsmanship [Can be further modified]

Weapon Traits: Energy Convergence, Inscription Blessing, Durability

Weapon Effects:

One. Arrow of Dawn:

The Isu inscription [Dawn] on the bow will grant [Burning] and [Dark Dispel] effects to all arrows, and will additionally add [Explosion] after the archer has fired twice at the same location.

Two. Isu Artifact [Intrinsic Effects]:

This weapon is a special weapon made by the Isu Forgers for Marksmen, and uses the traditional Isu technique to give it the effect of [Energy Absorption].

It can be used to create an energy matrix for the user to defend against, or to use energy to increase the power of arrows.

Prompt!

This effect requires precise control of energy to activate.

Prompt!

This effect is an intrinsic effect that is widely found in all weapons and armor tagged with the [Isu Artifact].

Maker: Mason Cooper

Item Description: Legend has it that this bow came from Hades and was a treasure of the god of death in the underworld, but in fact the source of all its legends is nothing more than a toy bow made by an idle Isu blacksmith for his son.

"Huh"

The finished war bow was thrown by Mason to the angry Clint in front of him, and Hawkeye was not polite, and instantly pulled out the homemade arrow behind him and pulled the bowstring and aimed at Mason in front of him.

The moment the arrow touched the bow, a golden flame attached to the arrow, which looked majestic and quite a kind of legendary heroic warrior.

He was really annoyed.

Mason's actions made all his efforts go to waste.

But in the end, this arrow was not shot, not only because Zod, who suddenly probed outside the door like a ghost Viet Cong, but also because Hawkeye could not make up his mind to shoot this arrow.

Mason is not a bad person.

He'd been fully sure of that along the way, he was one of the few conscientious creatures in the wasteland.

"That's the only thing I can do for the world after losing everything and becoming a loser, and you and you let me lose so completely."

It was as if all his bones had been broken, and as the bow and arrows in his hand fell to the ground, he himself collapsed back in his chair in discouragement.

Covering his face and eyes, he said in a tone of old remorse:

"I've made up my mind that I'm going to send it to Neobabylon, I don't care what happens to me, I don't even care if the rebels really exist.

There's no hope for this world, Mason.

But now that I'm alive, I'm going to continue my work, my mission, I'm a member of the Avengers, I'm the last Avenger!

I had to do it, and in every insomniac dream, the bloodied Romanov would urge me, and the blind captain would urge me, Fury, Hill, Coulson.

Everyone was waiting for me to finish it.

Only then will I have the face to meet them, instead of struggling to survive like a coward and maggots in this damn wasteland. ”

"Mom is right!"

Ashley Parker heard her father's true feelings, and immediately clenched her fists and shouted:

"You're crazy, Hawkeye who survived the nuclear war is a madman, you're more completely insane than everyone in this wasteland."

Mason did not say anything about it.

He got up and walked over to Hawkeye, picked up the Hades Warbow from the ground, recycled it back into its non-combat state, and placed it in Hawkeye's arms, patting the old guy who had lost everything and had only a broken life.

He whispered:

"I know of a team that calls themselves 'Aegis', and that includes Black Widow and Coulson, and the Winter Soldier seems to be there, but their Hawkeye is dead.

You might be able to join them, if that gives you some comfort.

But you can do more than just desperate revenge, you can keep fighting, Clint, we need people like you, your world is gone, but everyone else's is still there. ”

"Let me think again."

The old man couldn't give any answer, he just wanted to quietly convince himself to accept the reality that the "revenge plan" he had insisted on for many years ended in vain at this moment.

Mason gave him time alone and a super-soldier serum and left the room with fifteen-year-old Ashley Parker, the "Wasteland Spider-Man".

Outside the door, they saw Logan, an old wolf leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette in silence.

He had just heard everything here.

"Maybe you should comfort him?"

Mason said this, and the old wolf threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it, and he shook his head and said:

"Clint was a strong man, he didn't need my comfort, and after that night everyone was mentally ill, and I had much more psychological problems than he did.

Mason

I'll go with you to Xavier Academy.

I'm going to tell you one thing there, but that place is in two directions to New Babylon, so after crossing the Pym Cross, we and your men split up.

You'd better prepare in advance. ”

——

Hours later, the group returned to the wasteland through Attillan's energy portal, where the completely renovated spider cart sped across the endless abandoned wasteland.

Driving side by side with the Scooter and the Scooter driving side by side to open the road ahead, Hallie, wearing flying goggles, was clearly very unhappy with Mr. K's decision, complaining:

"Are you going to go with Logan to that weird-sounding place? What kind of college would call itself 'Academy for Gifted Children'?

I have a feeling that it must be dangerous there, and Quinn feels dangerous too, so we're going to go with you.

You can't say yes! ”

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go."

Mason, riding on a roaring motorcycle, transformed the Sorting Hat into a cowboy hat, stared at the Gobi Desert in front of him, and said to Harley with squeezed eyes:

"Little cutie, you say, what should the relationship between me and Emma be counted?"

"Did you just call me 'cutie'?"

Harrie turned her head to look at Mason because of this unique title, and the captain pouted, and said:

"Am I calling Cutie Quinn?"

"No, it's not Quinn, it has to be me!"

Harley cheered.

She got up on the speeding motorcycle with acrobatic skills, intending to give Mr. K a passionate kiss at parallel speed, and was scolded by Mason to sit back on the motorcycle honestly.

There were two dogs in the body, and it would be a great deal if they fell.

Faced with Mason's question, Hallie shook her head and said:

"Although it is not a mother-son relationship in the conventional sense, Emma did give her genes for your birth, and I should be grateful to Lady White Queen for her dedication, otherwise I would not have met the lovely Mr. K.

If your birth is inseparable from old Emma, then it's not unacceptable for you to call her mother.

It's better than Mr. K's feeling that he is the truth that pops out of a test tube in a laboratory, right? ”

"I still don't care much about this issue now, but I can only say that I am a little regretful."

Mason shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Rather than what the White Queen told me, I would rather find a letter to Mason Cooper in the ruins of a city, left by his loving parents in the apocalypse.

Or find a pair of parents who have not forgotten their children in the gathering point of the wasteland, or even a bleak but gentle tombstone.

But the truth is, I'm a clone out of a rock.

But on the flip side, that's pretty cool, right? ”

"Strange statement."

Hallie pursed her lips and said:

"Who would be happy to be a clone? Mr. K may have cried in his heart, but now he is just forcing a smile. ”

"Well, I'm crying."

Mason nodded solemnly and said to Hallie:

"Especially after I knew that my girlfriend had done something pretty excessive to me while I was asleep, my heart was broken."

"Huh?"

This answer startled Hallie, and her hand trembled so that the speeding speeder almost lost control, causing her to scream and turn to the side of the road and drive out for nearly a hundred meters before she could control the motorcycle.

But then, as if she had discovered something terrible, Hallie stood by the ditch that had almost thrown her in, and shouted to Mason:

"Come here! Little sweetheart, there's something scary here! ”

"Huh?"

Mason raised an eyebrow and gestured to the spider car and companion behind him, and the three Supermen immediately flew over there, and the evil spirit motorcycle also accelerated towards it with a roar.

A few seconds later, the group stood in Hallie's place, looking at the ravine in front of them that seemed to be pulled out by the giant.

It was covered with bones, the white bones overlapping chaotically and the horrific skeletons staring into the black holes, as if there had been a massacre.

This scene made everyone wary.

Without a command, Zod and Kara flew out to scout, Bizarro with Mason at his side, and the blue beetle turned on its detector and searched the bones.

Moments later, he came to a rather penetrating conclusion:

"Captain! These bones are covered with tiny biting marks, exactly the same as the ones we found on the bones of Loki, the evil god! ”

The cowboy fell to the ground, popped out his arm energy cannon, and reported to Mason:

"The same creature must have 'eaten' them!"

"Mason! There's a lot of unknown data signals going on over there, and they're surrounding you! Rise into the air! ”

Barbara's warning immediately alerts the crowd, and two motorcycles are thrown into their bags, Mason is caught by the arm of the blue beetle and flies, while Bizarro carries Harley on his back and two barking dogs into the air.

After a few seconds, a large amount of black stuff was tumbling out from under the dirt.

Almost by the way, it was all over the trench and the bridge not far away, like a strange "black tide" coming in, dyeing the barren land rolling black.

"What the hell is that!"

Hallie was so frightened that her voice became sharp, and the "writhing" earth in front of her made her feel numb all over, and the blue beetle came to a rather bizarre conclusion after constantly scanning it:

"Ants! Those are mechanized ants, swarms of killing machines, hell! That's enough to gnaw away a city in a matter of minutes.

Sky!

There are also in the air, be careful! ”

The blue beetle's combat system frantically alarmed, so that his alien armor had already conjured weapons, and the surrounding "flying ants" shrouded like black clouds, blocking everyone from heaven and earth in the blink of an eye.

The buzzing sounds come together to make people panic.

But Mason didn't care, he just used his Isu senses to observe the ant colony in front of him, as if to distinguish between their form and how they worked.

"Hey! A couple of people over there. ”

A few seconds later, a young voice suddenly sounded in front of them, shouting towards the group of strangers:

"If you want to go over, leave the money to buy the road, this is the rule of the Ant Gang! If you don't want to give money, you can break in, whatever you want, but friendly reminder, my ant colony hasn't eaten for a long time.

So, you'd better pay obediently! ”
