76. At this point, a handsome observer asked: If it only affects the earth, then why not run away?
"I'm going to be scared to death by you!
Can you notify me in advance the next time you do this big work, I almost pulled you when I saw you bombing those big guys? ”
Outside the gate of the X Council Hall, when he saw Mason swaggering out with a frightened stupid bird on his shoulder, the swordsman with a heart full of fire was about to go up and reason with him with the soul sword.
As a result, Wade, a very responsible bodyguard, suddenly blocked in front of his employer, opened his hands to stop the "grumpy fan", and then was kicked to the ground by the swordsman.
As expected, the nasty bastard took advantage of the fall to the ground to peek under the swordsman's skirt, only to be stomped on the head by the Lord's angry Boots of Hell's Border.
In the face of Liana's angry shouts, Mason shrugged his shoulders and said to her:
"The two Skrulls disguised as Professor X are there, even if their psychic power is pirated and not as powerful as the genuine one, the superimposed psychic force fields of the two people are enough to capture what you are thinking.
It's not that I don't tell you, I can't tell.
But I thought you'd be a little smarter, do you think if I really had bad intentions, would I have the life to go to Council X with the Supreme Professor in charge?
You're not confident in your leader's strength, are you? ”
"Who said I didn't think of it, I obviously thought of it! Such an obvious ploy is something that only a fool would not think of, right? ”
The swordsman retorted stiffly:
"I just think you're acting like you're going to die, why don't you let Wade detonate the bomb? Do you know that even a tenth of the energy that those bigwigs threw out just now fell on you?"
"I'm a water man, Liana."
Mason felt that he had no way to talk to the bar, so he could only sigh and say:
"Although the aggression is not enough, the ability to save life is also considered to be at the forefront of the mutant society, okay, don't worry, the misunderstanding has been solved, and I talked to Professor Supreme about it well.
He forgave me for my offense.
Now take me to see the 'strong' stuff before they expel me. ”
"Then we'll go first."
The brethren of Ax's squad were relieved to see Mason return safely, and Miss Anna offered to take her leave, saying to Mason and the swordsman:
"The patrol mission assigned by Lord Hunter can't wait any longer, after the third impact, the conflicts in the realms have become more and more frequent, and even many base worlds have rebelled, and we have to collect intelligence."
"It just so happens that Team K has a pioneering mission next."
Mason thought for a moment and said to Anna:
"I was going to let the second bucket and Barbara and Zakang in my team lead the team and take those newcomers out to hone it, but something happened to Zakang, and only relying on Erkeo and Barbara is a little thin.
Can you please help the two veterans to help bring the newcomers? ”
"No problem."
Anna put on the mask of the starry sky and said to Mason:
"We are our own people, just talk about these little things."
"But don't be too often."
The king next to her played with a few purple playing cards and said to Mason:
"We have our own things to do on our side. Seriously, Mason, the first time I met you, I didn't think you were one of us, but after seeing your style of doing things in person today, I confirmed that you are the hot boy from our hometown.
It's a chance to play together. ”
"Playing cards with you?"
Mason pouted and said:
"My little coffers aren't that rich yet, but there's one small question I've always been curious about, I'm not the only test subject of Weapon X, what about the rest of the people?"
"Not as much as you think."
Rakshasa flicked her distinctive two-tone hair and explained:
"Because of the highly uncontrollable X gene, only the first three batches of test samples were special creations of locked genes, and the rest were clones that were replicated according to a single X gene.
Most of the things we salvaged at the outbreak of a nuclear war were subsequent creations, and there were only a few of them like you.
Because your genes had to be unlocked through a unique awakening, and we were unable to return to our homeland at the time, they were all sent into different garden worlds as ordinary people.
Judging from the current situation, perhaps it is a better choice for them to spend their lives quietly. ”
"I have the blueprints for the third phase of the Awakening Capsule of Project X."
Mason waved his hand and said lightly:
"If they need to. I mean, you have to ask them at least what kind of life they want to live, right? Aunt Anna, maybe they want to do something for their hometown, too.
You can't just strip them of the right to be heroes in the name of their good, can you? ”
Anna was stunned by this answer.
Then she shook her head, put on her mask again, and chuckled:
"Well, I'll go and ask them personally, tell them stories about you, ask your 'brothers and sisters' if they're willing to throw themselves into the same dangerous things as you do."
With that, Team Ax turned to leave, and although they didn't feel as extreme about this place as Wade, they obviously didn't want to stay in Utopia for too long.
The swordsman reached out to Mason, motioning for him to hold his arm, and then swung the soul blade in his hand to open the door of the world of jumping, pulling Mason to disappear in place with a whoosh.
A few minutes later, Wade, whose broken head had been restored, got up in a daze.
But there was no one waiting for him anymore.
The guy scolded and raised his middle finger to the sky, but soon a wicked smile appeared on his overly expressive mask, first pretending to look left and right, then driving the Venom suit to transform himself into a Wolverine with a helmet, and then learning the low posture of the old wolf when he spoke.
Then I walked into the intercontinental metro station in the Utopia Capital District with my hands behind my back.
It's hard to come back once, why don't you be embarrassed to leave without doing something bad? The whole world is catching Skrull's spies, and it's time to start with the chaos.
Hey, utopian fools, you're here for Grandpa Deadpool!
——
"Whoosh"
In the light and shadow, the swordsman led Mason all the way to a mysterious space.
Everywhere he looked, the stars were shining, and the two of them landed like a floating island in a sea of stars, and Mason could clearly feel a light weightlessness that made him feel like he was in outer space.
And when I look up, the scene in front of me is staggering.
An entire world of shattered stars crumbling from its core was suspended in the dark sea of stars, like the desolate corpse of a giant beast drowning in the sea.
Around the wreckage there was a huge piece of equipment that enveloped the world like an unfinished Dyson sphere, and mutant ships of all sizes flew around it, like industrious bees searching for materials to use in the wreckage.
This is an extremely huge project, and Mason quickly discovered the clue after observing it for more than ten seconds.
He looked at the swordsman beside him, frowned, and said:
"This is not the broken wreckage of one world, this is two worlds. It's two worlds that are merging but not fully merging, and that's what you told me about the mutants' self-help plan?
You've been trying to merge the worlds?
Is there any progress? ”
"Well, Mason, where is your proud imagination?"
The swordsman snorted, feeling his rare gain of the upper hand, and patted Mason on the shoulder in a lengthened voice, saying:
"We're not just trying, the first stage of world integration has been completed, haven't you found the clue in the main world power of utopia?"
"It's true that gravity is a little different from ordinary planets, but Professor Supreme told me that this world was bought by them."
Mason raised his eyebrows and said:
"You've fused the two worlds in a closed 'lab environment'?"
"It's not two! It's a world where there are three mutant civilizations! ”
The swordsman raised three fingers and shook them in front of Mason's eyes, and said:
"If you have a map of the world of Utopia, you will see that there are three continents in this world, each of which is equivalent to 70% of the land area of the rest of the Earth, and there are half-planes like 'secret lands'.
It is a by-product of the fusion of worlds, a strange space formed by overlapping a part of the real world. ”
"Awesome!"
Mason could only praise the truth revealed by the swordsman with the most primitive feelings turned into the most authentic language, and he gave a thumbs up fiercely to congratulate this group of mutants on their private achievements.
It seems that although the X royal family is racist, xenophobic, impersonal, and authoritarian, they do do real things.
The success story of this world fusion alone catapulted their position in Mason's heart, and instantly surpassed the old A gang who could only play tricks.
And Mason also sadly discovered at this moment that he was actually quite a double standard.
However, there is still a problem that cannot be ignored at the moment, that is, the wreckage of the two worlds that merge with the world in front of us.
The swordsman said that they fused three worlds in a closed environment, so the two obvious failures in front of them were probably experiments conducted in real situations.
"Is this a test done on the third impact?"
Mason pushed the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked, and the latter sighed, and somewhat helplessly led Mason up the stairs of the starry floating island to a platform covered with tombstones.
There was also a thin man in a researcher's lab coat mourning in front of a new tombstone, but the swordsman ignored him and led Mason straight to the cemetery area behind.
She crouched down in front of a tombstone carved into a cross, and with a wave of her fingers, she made a bouquet of flowers and placed it very gently in front of the tombstone.
"Remember when I told you that I had a space-time heteromorph in Utopia who chose to become a nun?"
The swordsman whispered, and Mason nodded, and he looked at the tombstone in front of him, and as expected, the name on it was "Liana Rasputin".
"She was buried here, dying in one of the fifteen world-fusion experiments that Utopia was conducting at the same time during the second impact, all of which failed.
But they left behind valuable data that allowed us to get closer to success than ever before in the third smash. ”
Liana gently touched the tombstone in front of her, which was also her own in a sense, and she said to Mason, who was silent behind her:
"All the tombstones here are in memory of our compatriots who died in this experiment, most of whom have no bones left, but no one will choose to quit once they are called.
Mason, I don't like utopias either.
It's a place where we used to be, but it's not just because we're mutants because we're all mutants.
Before I met you, the X royal family was the only force I had ever seen that dealt with shock disasters in the most pragmatic manner.
If it weren't for you, I'd probably go all the way with them. ”
"Your praise makes me feel terrified, and I don't even really put my ideas into practice compared to these pioneers."
Mason sighed, he took off the frame of his glasses and put his hand on the tombstone in front of him, he looked up at the wreckage of the two Earths that failed to merge in the distant starry sky.
A wordless pressure welled up in my heart.
As Liana watched in amazement, as Mason closed his eyes, a gentle raindrop fell from the surroundings, like a gentle wind blowing through the starlit cemetery, making the flowers bloom among the green grass.
It's like some kind of homage to the predecessors that comes from being a mutant.
"When did you get to such a nuanced connection to abilities?"
The swordsman asked:
"It's only been less than three days since you unlocked the ability, right?"
"I'm pressed for time, maybe because I'm used to getting used to new knowledge in a short period of time, or maybe it's because I'm good at learning."
He chuckled and said:
"Alright, sad time is over.
Now I need to ask you something more academic about world integration. I want to know more, I'm a true beginner in this regard. ”
"Mason Cooper! The magical man who brought hope to a desolate and desperate fox nest at the end of the third impact. ”
A man's voice rang out behind Mason, with a hint of inquiry and appreciation, as he said:
"The speed force matrix model you brought back caused a stir among the group of scientists, who thought it was a fairly well-completed theory.
Activists are already planning to apply for grants to build a network of speedforces across the entire parallel world system to counter the next onslaught. ”
Mason turned around and saw that the man who spoke was the man standing by the new grave in the cemetery.
Wenwen is angry, thin and tall, quite a bit of a creamy little temperament, and with a pair of black-framed glasses, he looks like a nerd in a laboratory.
But when Liana saw this guy, she vigilantly pulled La Mason, representing that the person in front of her was by no means an ordinary character.
"Henry McCoy, Chief Scientific Officer of the X Royalty, Fox's Nest Advanced Researcher, Leader of the 'World Fusion' Research Group, you can call me Hank."
He introduced himself to Mason, who held out his hand to shake the X-Men's wisdom, saying:
"The knowledge of the Divine Speed Force Matrix is only an occasional gain I get, I am an explorer, not a researcher."
"Of course, I know, members of the Stars."
"Beast" Hank laughed, and said with a hearty tone and a frowning eyebrow:
"Even if you don't count the important part of the data that you're hiding, that matrix is really flawed, it's close to the truth, but it's not the answer.
At least not the complete answer.
Looks like you know this too, so I guess you seem to be leaning more towards our theory of world convergence rather than playing with time? ”
"First of all, I don't hide any knowledge, what you describe is quite a terrible accusation."
Mason corrected very seriously, saying:
"Secondly, I'm a layman on both theories, there's no such thing as who is better than the other, and it's not an academic dispute, so if they are both useful, why not use them at the same time?"
"You've made it simple, Mason."
Hank shook his head, and he said:
"Come with me, and let me explain to my new compatriots the stage we are in at the moment. Liana, are you coming too? ”
"No, I get a headache when I hear that."
The swordsman shook his head and said to Mason again:
"I'll wait for you at the entrance, and I'll take you back when I'm done."
"Hmm."
Mason nodded, and followed Hank all the way forward, and as he left the cemetery, he saw the tombstone in front of which Hank had just hanged, and asked:
"Is your friend buried here?"
"Yes, Eric Lansell, not only my best friend, but also the Professor's best friend, it was he who founded the X royal family with the Professor, just as the Professor is revered as the Supreme Professor, and he is also known as the Supreme Magneto."
Hank explains:
"He was the one who led the experiments on the third impact, and we thought we would be able to do it with a perfect protocol.
But in the final stages of the fusion test, accidents are still inevitable. ”
"Isn't that right?"
Mason pointed to the wreckage of the world in the distance, and he frowned and said:
"If you have completed the process of merging the three worlds in a laboratory environment, you should not fail to this extent, even if you are limited by the time of the impact.
Look at these two worlds, they're almost crushed. ”
"Two mistakes."
Hank, who was leading the way, raised two fingers and said to Mason without looking back:
"First, the greatest difficulty in world fusion at the time of impact is not time, with our current technology, thirty-six hours between the inception of the impact and the occurrence of the collision are completely sufficient.
Second, we did not make a mistake in the integration phase.
The two worlds have indeed come together, and at that point we thought we had succeeded."
The Chief Scientific Officer of the X Royalty sighed.
He looked back at Mason, with a sense of weariness, and said:
"Mason, just because the impact event happened on Earth doesn't mean it will only affect Earth, look at this special starry sky area. We used the power of the phoenix to capture them after the experiment failed, and put them together.
What do you think it is? ”
Mason looked at the sky overhead, and after a few seconds of silence, Hank took the initiative to reveal the answer.
He whispered:
"These. It is the wreckage of the two planes, the collision of the earth is only the beginning of the disaster, but the annihilation of the plane is not the next step, this is never a simple infinite earth crisis.
Truth be told, if it only affects the planet, the problem is much simpler. ”
