21. Your tragedies are all the fault of this world! So, let's create a universe without sorrow
Mason says to negotiate, and Black Strange isn't surprised.
But Mason's next sentence struck the soul of Black Strange, and he put down his teacup and said:
"Do you still want to save your Christine?"
"Huh?"
The eyes full of dark circles rose and stared at Mason, and there was a throbbing killing intent tumbling in them, apparently because the young man had mentioned the taboo of black bizarre.
Some things can be written in a diary, they can be seen, but they can't be taken out and said.
Especially when it comes to using it as a bargaining chip.
"If you want to use this topic as a conversation starter, then it sucks."
Black Strange put down the teacup and whispered:
"But if your purpose is to provoke me, then congratulations, your attempt has been very successful, and a few more words, Mason Cooper, it suddenly occurred to me that perhaps the summoning of the evil god would not have to wait until six days later."
He flicked his fingers, and the realm that belonged to him changed in an instant, bringing everyone to the depths of this secret place.
An entrenched summoning ritual is glittering in the darkness.
As Mason watched, Black Strange reached into the space and grabbed it, and Harley, who was outside to attract the attention of the mages of the Sanctuary, was brought in out of thin air, and placed above the summoning ritual in a dance.
Perhaps all it takes is a movement of Black Strange's mind, and Mason's cutie will be thrown as a sacrifice into the ritual formation that has been warmed up.
"You don't seem to have the understanding or empathy for what I'm going through, Mason."
Black Strange hung in the air in the swing of his cloak, and he looked at Mason condescendingly, and said:
"Maybe I should let you experience how I used to feel, like a hollow out of my heart, an emptiness that will never be filled, will drive you crazy to lose, and every day for the rest of your life will be her face when she died."
"Little sweetheart! Come on! ”
Harley, who was caught here, was still struggling in the air.
She swung her baseball bat wildly and tried to hit the invisible energy that bound her, but the increasingly hot lines of the lava-like lines of the ritual beneath her seemed to open a door to hell before her eyes.
Her hair was about to be scorched.
There was still not much fear on Hallie's face, she was just worried that if she died here, there would be no one to take care of Mr. K, what would she do?
"She has you in her heart, and even the threat of death can't shake her desire to protect you, which is really touching."
Black Strange sarcastically said:
"The purer it is, the more painful it is to lose. The balance of Harley Quinn's life has been weighed, and I look forward to your next remarks. ”
"Absolutely!"
Mason stared at him and said very seriously:
"I've looked at your diary over and over again, and I've figured it out that you're at an absolute point in time before you get Christine back."
"Wow!"
Harley exclaimed, and she descended in the air, getting closer and closer to the burning ritual, indicating that Black Strange wasn't very happy with Mason's answer.
He said:
"Say something I don't know, thanks, you're wasting the little time you have left. If you really don't have anything to say, you might as well say goodbye to her.
I can give you a few minutes. ”
"The absolute point in time is the support of the time network, and when a timeline is determined, it is also determined, and any point that goes wrong will lead to the collapse of the entire timeline, which in turn affects the complex time network and causes a chain reaction."
Mason's tone remained the same, and he spoke calmly.
Behind him, Harry's position continued to fall, and the sacrificial ritual was activated, and an eerie phantom sound rang out from the lightless sea at the other end of the ritual, haunting everyone's hearts as if a thousand people were talking at the same time.
The sword of the Lake Maiden held by the hunter shone brightly, and the golden light of the debut dao protected her and the two beside her, and Zakang also cast a spell to release psychic protection to ensure that they would not be affected by the words of the evil god.
Harley, who was closest to the ritual, also had a puzzled look on her face, she was the least reactive of all, and even thought that the sound of depravity coming from the ritual was a bit nice.
This is normal.
She's crazy.
Maniacs are naturally immune to most psychic magic and chaos effects.
"That's what I wrote in my diary."
Black Strange sneered and said:
"I don't need you to remind me that research on absolute point in time has fallen into irretrievable stagnation and conflict, Mason, don't stall any longer.
Shuma Goras has emerged from the Lightless Sea and is approaching the plane of reality, and your little girlfriend is the best bait to lure him in.
I suggest you think about her. ”
"There's a big black squid jumping out."
Harry's exclamation caused Zak Kang and Ciri to turn back at the same time, and they saw a dark tentacle emerging from the ritual formation.
Like a monster pouring out of the deep sea in burning magma, and the depraved words that attack the mind are suddenly strengthened tenfold when the evil god's body is about to emerge?
The spell of the Sword of the Lake Maiden shone like a light bulb that had been touched poorly, and the hat buckled to the door of Zakon's head let out a low whistle, which was a reminder for Mason to speed up.
"I have to say this before I can get what I'm trying to say."
Mason's fist was clenched.
It would be defamatory to say that he didn't care about Harley's life, but he knew very well that only by being calm enough could he reach some in-depth cooperation agreement with Black Strange at the moment.
He wasn't deliberately provoking the dangerous guy, but getting to the heart of the matter in the first place.
He looked up and said to Black Strange:
"In the existing universe, countless absolute points in time hold up the sacred timeline that runs through countless parallel worlds! It's a manifestation of the concept of 'time' in the entire universe, and it's not because you've done something wrong that you've broken through the absolute point in time in your world that caused the world to collapse, Strange.
It's just that your power is not enough, and if you can't shake the sacred timeline, you can't really reverse the future, it just gives you a lesson that you will never forget because of your actions.
You're too far from the level where you can warp the sacred timeline, and you know that, so you're hiding here and studying to make yourself stronger.
Isn't devouring evil gods also to advance to higher life forms?
But you were wrong from the start! ”
"Smack"
Hovering over the circle in the back, Harley, who was being sacrificed, swung a shiny Isu baseball bat and knocked a tentacle out of her, but soon more tentacles lunged at her.
It's like a hungry monster who has finally found delicious bait, and he doesn't want to go back honestly today.
"I can hold on! Little sweetheart, keep talking! Leave me alone. ”
Hallie has absolutely faith in her Mr. K.
She shouted and swung her weapon back, knocking the tentacles back one by one, and the wasteland venom that lived on her body conjured more creature blades to slash through the growing number of demonic tentacles below.
This is a serious evil thing.
Harley has no divinity to resist the existential erosion of this thing, and if Black Strange really intends to use her as bait, then the moment the evil god Shuma Goras appears, the cutie will be twisted into a strange thing.
She's still full of energy, and it must be that Black Strange has put some kind of resistance magic on her.
This was enough to make Mason breathe a sigh of relief.
He stared at the expressionless Doctor Strange from above, and he knew that his game against him had reached the most critical moment, so he paused, organized his tone, and said:
"This cosmic system is too old.
The sacred timeline it evolved from the beginning of the epoch to the current epoch of destruction, and it is impossible for you to overturn this timeline alone, even if it is only a small node where Christine must die.
You shouldn't be trying to fight it, Strange.
It's like Sisyphus pushing a stone, because you yourself are part of the divine timeline and you can't go against yourself, which creates a terrible time paradox.
You can't explain yourself in paradoxes, and the result is that your existence collapses.
Christine was a victim of the fate of the Supreme Mage, and she died because of you, which may explain why you would rather give up the whole world than bring her back.
Not just out of love, but also out of remorse and self-loathing.
I had a friend who has studied a lot of time describe this situation to me, and he said it was as bad as throwing in a fan. ”
Very expressive description. It's a bit disgusting though. ”
Black Strange's eyes full of dark circles stared at Mason, and he said:
"With the reason out of the way, I expect you to tell me how to do it and not just pick on my thorns. Let me remind you again, because of your little girlfriend's overly active performance, Shuma is very interested in her.
In 30 seconds at most, it will rise to the physical world at the risk of being caught by me, and it has always been greedy and cannot resist the curiosity of death. ”
"The solution I gave was to give up this universe, there was no chance."
Mason exclaimed:
"You don't need to go through a shock event to sense that this cosmic epoch has entered the end of destruction, and the tremors from the depths of the universe are its dying convulsions.
All evil and bad things are caused by this, and I and my companions are the only ones who are a breath of fresh air among all the apocalyptic currents.
We will not aim to continue the last life of this old universe, we want to take everyone through the singularity of destruction and into the beginning of the next epoch.
And that's your last chance, Strange!
Even if you shake the sacred timeline and bring back Christine, you will only be able to welcome the end of the epoch with her, but if you follow us, if we can step into the beginning of the next epoch.
In that singularity at the beginning of all things!
Strange, in the singularity of this sacred timeline that has just collapsed and the next sacred timeline has yet to begin, at a moment when there will be no concept of absolute point in time!
You don't even need to pay more, just a simple backtracking time to bring the Christine you've been thinking of back to you! Then take her to the beginning of the next divine timeline and let her enter the next epoch alive, so that her existence is as immortal as yours.
There is no time paradox!
There is no self-contradiction!
There is no need for logical self-consistent existential explanations.
In a singularity where the concept of 'time' doesn't even exist, time itself is a building block toy for you to play with, and you can build a perfect Christine for yourself.
But only if we have to get to that singularity, we have to defeat the people who are holding us back, and most importantly, get the fuck out of my girlfriend!
I've given you the way!
Your wife is dead but someone else's lover is still there, do something nice and give Dr. Christine some yin virtue, bastard! ”
Under Mason's almost shouting scolding, Black Strange threw it away, and the screaming Harley was pulled out of the wolves surrounded by the evil tentacles, and landed accurately in Mason's arms with open arms.
She wasn't too frightened, she just thought it was exciting, and she even had a smile on her face.
But in the next moment, Mason hugged her tightly, and the strength of his arms even made Harley feel suffocated, making her realize the fear in her little sweetheart's heart.
Just now, Mason almost lost her forever.
"Oh good, it's okay, I'm back."
Hallie gently patted Mr. K on the back and comforted him as a victim, which fell into the eyes of Heri next to him, making the old aunt quite helpless.
She probably realized that she was worse than Harley.
Although Mason has always maintained a fairly independent personality and style, in fact, he may also be a deeply hidden "uneasy person", and he also needs unreserved attachment and companionship like Hallie to soothe some kind of uneasiness deep in his heart.
Tsk, Mason wants to be really demanding.
Himself, Catwoman, and Barbara are indeed not very suitable, but Harley Quinn, a Robin girl, is a natural match with him.
"You've given me a solution, and while the chances of success are slim, it's at least a little comfort for a person in a desperate situation. But now, I need you to do one last thing for me. ”
Black Strange crossed his hands and turned into a dark Raggador Ring in front of him, and grew more eight arms in the illusion forbidden spell in the form of Ekern, and at the same time, he cast a dozen amplification and protective spells on the four people in front of him.
By this time, his dark realm had been shaken.
The Big-Eyed Demon God who crawled out of the summoning ritual is roaring to destroy the place, and by the way, he slams his old rival to the ground to avenge the bastard's "evil deeds" of eating his tentacles years ago.
In front of the evil god, all kinds of gorgeous or evil magic on the four Mason are beating coolly, and with the blessing of these magic power amplifications, Mason feels that he can rely on his fists to have a boxing match with Da Chao without drinking superhuman medicine.
And it wasn't until this that he finally realized why Black Strange wanted to imprison Zakang
This guy needs a helper!
He alone is no match for the evil god Shuma Goras, he needs some collaborators who don't pull him back, because he and Ciri are both fish that "the willing one takes the bait" because of Zakkang's captivity.
Since then, the five of them have finally formed a "Evil God Crusade Squad".
"You're really a good catcher!"
Mason twisted the cap of the improved superhuman medicine and complained to the black strange who turned into an evil god next to him:
"But I'm curious, if we don't be fooled, if we don't come to save Zakang, how are you going to deal with this evil god that you have attracted?"
"Oh, look at your terrible questions and inferior intelligence."
Black Strange's distorted seven eyes showed a terrifying smile on the terrifying face on his forehead, and he whispered:
"Guess why I hide my realm in the Holy of Holies of this world? The Kama Taj here isn't as strong as my hometown, but the good news is that they also have a bit of power, though not much.
Being a teammate may not be so qualified, but being cannon fodder is more than enough.
I have a chance to devour Shuma Golas, it's nothing more than how many casualties it takes, you see, Mason, I said at the beginning, it really doesn't matter to me whether the outside world is dead or alive.
I gave all my enthusiasm to Christine, and nothing else to give to others. ”
"But we can't do it for you!"
Realizing that Black Strange had changed from an "enemy" to a "temporary companion", he had the audacity to complain:
"You have to pay someone to do the work, man."
"Then why don't I rip out all the magic you stole from me? All it takes is a small craniotomy."
Hei Qiwei glanced at Zakang, who immediately froze.
"As for you, my friend."
In the background of the terrifying phantom of the evil god Shuma Goras from the Sea of Darkness who had completely jumped into the dark realm and wielded thousands of tentacles in this dark place, Black Strange looked at the hunter Ciri, looked her up and down, and said:
"You sold your soul to the devil, it's not a good deal, you're no longer saved, just like me back then, but you see, as a senior who embarked on the path of evil, I may be able to give you a crooked path.
What do you think?
Is this price appropriate? Ladies and gentlemen. ”
