26. Now do you know why we call him "Divine Stick"?
"Hope for Breniac, a high-ranking member of the Council? Are you sure? ”
Returning to the Wakanda border through Ciri's rift, Mason tells the hunter the information he received from Agent Alpha, whose eyes widen for a moment, performing a "pupil quake".
She had apparently heard the name.
And judging by Ciri's performance, this guy seems to be a big man in the hope council?
"Unless the death-bent Skrull was in the mood to make up a lie before he died, I'm pretty sure it's true."
Mason lit a cigarette and kicked the stone under his feet in a bit of irritation, and he pocketed the unscathed Fenrir armor behind him, which was badly marked.
Ciri, who was speechless at the truth, asked:
"Do you want to inform Old A about this? Do you think Old A will make up his mind to go to war with Brainiac at this moment? ”
"No notice."
Mason said decisively:
"What Brainiac needs is a perfect body that can carry his heavy soul in order to ascend to the throne as a god in the next era that may arise, which does not conflict with Old A's goal of controlling the Stars Society.
Once we report the truth of this privateering, Lao A will not only not help, but will probably force us to retreat now and not disturb the affairs of Brainiac.
Although they are not aligned, they are definitely not enemies. ”
"So what?"
Healy Says:
"You're going to hide this from him? But the question is, how? Gather heavy troops now to raid Perfect Ultron? ”
"Can you kill it?"
Mason asked, Ciri frowned and thought about the comparison of combat power, nodded and said:
"The role of the Mind Gem in actual combat is not as strong as you think, the only trouble is the Time Stone, but it is not a big problem for Ultron to take out the two gems with the Black Strange Fist.
As long as this body is destroyed, Brainiac will lose the reason to come in person, and I have heard that the guy is absolutely sane and he will abandon this operation.
Even the Skrulls could retreat, and the world could be preserved as a result. ”
"But the crisis has not been eliminated, it has only been diverted."
Mason thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"Brainiac won't stop until he finds the perfect body, my world has his goals, and if he can't do it here, it means that he has a good chance of appearing in the future confrontation between my world and the Stars.
That's big bad news.
We're going to have to use Perfect Ultron to lure Brainiac over and finish him out of this world!
Once. ”
"Your idea is great, but can you do it?"
Ciri brushed her hair and said worriedly:
"That guy is very powerful, he became a director of hope with his individual strength, and Black Strange can't interfere with his protection mechanism when Perfect Ultron was born.
This proves that Brainiac's strength is on par with Black Strange. ”
"But it will definitely not be crushed, black strange plus a superhero in this world who will die if he doesn't fight, with mental calculation or unintentional, we are not without a chance of winning."
Mason narrowed his eyes at the Wakanda ship flying towards them, and whispered to Ciri:
"Don't tell them this beforehand, so as not to disturb the morale of the army."
"Hmm."
Ciri nodded, and seconds later, the royal ship hovered in front of Mason's eyes in a light position, the rear cabin ladder lowered, and Agent Natasha beckoned to them in the shadows.
When the two of them boarded the cabin, they saw Hallie pounce on her face and look up and down to see if Mason was injured, which made Ciri back a little and get out of the way.
"All the people who were transferred were kept in solitary care, in the palace of the Black Panthers."
After the ship took off, Agent Natasha whispered:
"Fury thinks Dr. Reed's conjecture is correct, and there are still Skrulls among us, but the bad news is that the kicker creature bait you gave us doesn't work for them.
The speed at which these guys fix their self-vulnerabilities is simply horrible. ”
"It's natural, and I guess the current Skrulls have a common core of intelligence."
Mason pouted.
After learning that the owner behind the Skrulls was Breniac, he was surprised by the Skruls' unusual ascension rate.
A terrifying level 12 intelligent creature wants to help a race improve its weaknesses, and that's a matter of hand.
It's not for nothing that he's revered as the "God of Wisdom" by the Skrulls, who are already far more powerful than most of the native gods.
"The Skrull's grand fleet is entering the atmosphere!"
Agent Brand, who was driving the ship, reported to Mason:
"The final images of Wakanda's military satellite were sent back before they were destroyed, and it was conservatively estimated that the fleet carried more than 10,000 Skru warriors and an untold number of mechanical legions.
Dr. Reed also recognized their Empress flagship.
The Skrulls' invasion of Earth has officially begun, and we have only a group of remnants of the defeated army who are in dire need of cultivation and are difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. ”
"Don't be so pessimistic."
Mason comforted:
"It's not time to despair, send a message to Fury, I need Dr. Reed to report to Zhang Parker's lab immediately! Also, Any news from Agent Hawkeye? ”
He looked at Agent Natasha, who shook his head and said:
"The Galactic Miranda has flown out of our existing communication distance, but if all goes well, Lady Nebula and Clint will be back with Hulk before the final battle.
But even the Hulk will struggle to face so many aliens who can casually incarnate as any superhero. ”
"Bad news everywhere, can you give me some good news?"
Cieri leaned against the bulkhead and complained to Mason:
"Why don't I erect a diversion door here, and you transfer these superheroes and all of Wakanda to Osborne? When the gap in strength is too large, it is not lacking in a wise choice to preserve the living force. ”
"As I said, it's not time for despair yet."
Mason looked like he was holding the pearl in his hand, and Harley next to him nodded vigorously, clearly thinking that Mr. K could do anything.
"Good news is not without it."
As the Royal Wakanda ship slowly lands on the tarmac of the palace, Natasha points to the mutants who are busy erecting a "storm altar" in the distance.
She whispered to Ciri and Mason:
"Agent Hill is preparing to summon our Asgardian friends, and if we're lucky, we might have a heavily armed Valhalla Valkyrie come to our aid.
Now that it has been proven that Tony Stark is a Skrull disguise, the reason for the disagreement that led to Thor's departure is gone.
Thor is a warrior who loves to fight.
He would be furious at the Skuruls' deception of him, and there was no reason for him to miss this 'party revelry', as well as Captain Marvel, who was rushing to Earth with the Nova Legion, and she was also a hero strong enough to turn the tide.
We still have a chance to win! ”
"I hope so."
Mason didn't really care about that.
At present, there is not much difference between one more and one less Thor in this situation, and the real killer weapon is no longer individual strength at this time, but wisdom
"Ding"
The door of Zhang Parker's laboratory in the palace unfolded smoothly.
Mason and Cialy walked into the lab and saw Mr. Zhang, who was busy in front of a mainframe computer, and Dr. Reed Richards, who was being guarded by Logan.
The latter sat in his chair with a helpless face like a prisoner, but he didn't dare to move, or Logan's steel claws would stick into his neck.
This is the biggest problem with the current situation.
The Skrulls' camouflage ability is so evil that the mutual trust between the coalition forces has been completely depleted, and everyone is wary of whether the people around them will be undercover, and it is impossible to achieve unity in this situation!
"Do you understand where you are now?"
Mason pulled a chair and sat across from Dr. Reid in the blue uniform of the Fantastic Four, and in response to his question, Mr. Fantastic, with white temples and an elegant face, nodded.
He was super smart enough for him to understand the predicament at hand.
"Very well, you now have a chance to prove your innocence."
Mason took the colorful but destructive circus kinetic pistol from Harry's hand, loaded it with a click, and pointed the muzzle of the gun in his hand at Mr. Fantastic, he stared at him, and said:
"Skrulls can replicate memories and emotions, but they can't replicate a person's mind, especially for someone as smart as you.
So I'm going to ask you something about the Fantastic Four that hasn't happened in this world but has been proven in other worlds, and you'll have to guess the answer with your mind.
You ready? ”
"It's a novel approach, and it seems that you do have a deep understanding of the Skuruls."
Dr. Reed didn't think Mason was embarrassing him, but instead clapped his hands at Mason's delicate thinking and made a gesture ready to answer the question.
"What will be the name of your only son in the future?"
Mason stared at Dr. Reed and asked a strange question.
Dr. Reed blinked, and after a second of thought, he shook his head and said:
"No, Susan and I will definitely have more than one child in the future, and based on the results of the DNA matching test I secretly did before, there is a 68% chance that there will be a pair of twins after the DNA fusion of the two of us.
Even if we don't have twins, we will continue to have a second child, and the best answer is a boy and a girl, so that the children will not grow up alone.
Based on my superficial research on the X gene, I found that Susan has an invisible X gene in her genes, so there is a 3 in 3 chance that one of my two children will become a mutant after birth.
If I had to guess, I would guess that boys are mutants, because boys are 4.35 times more likely to awaken the X gene than girls, based on the number of mutants in existence.
Finally, if I were lucky enough to have a son, then I would call him Franklin.
And my daughter will be called Valeria. ”
"Why?"
Mason's fingers didn't leave the trigger but asked, even though Harley beside him had already widened his eyes and looked at Dr. Reed in front of him with a look at the "magic stick".
What the fuck is science?
This is metaphysics.
Do you have a part-time job as a scientist?
"There's no reason."
Dr. Reed rubbed his eyebrows and said,
"When I thought of my son's name, the name Franklin jumped into my head, and this is the right name for my son.
But this emotional reaction is obviously not normal, so I guess it was my son who must have invented something similar to a time machine to see me at some time in the past and delete my memories.
But I still have a sense of him
My son's name is Franklin, right? ”
He looked at Mason, who withdrew the pistol from its bullet and returned it to Hallie, and held out his hand to Dr. Reed, saying:
"You're really, the Skrulls' brains aren't going to be so useful, and in fact a few seconds of such complex thinking is enough to overload their pig brains.
Also, your son's name is Franklin, and your daughter's name is Valellia, but they are now in another world and desperately need their parents to take care of them.
Something terrible happened to them.
But that's going to come later. ”
Mason pointed to the Wakanda supercomputer behind him, and he said to Dr. Reed, who had identified him:
"It's where the research of me and my compatriots about the Skurulls is stored, including their original genetic sequences and the principles of morphing and mimicking, but our research in this area has hit a bottleneck."
"So you need me to help you get through it?"
Dr. Reed pulled out a pair of glasses and put them on his face, walked over to Zhang Parker, tapped his fingers on the keyboard, and the data on the screen flashed through his eyes.
After more than ten seconds, he said:
"This kind of research has entered very deep territory, you are only one step away from the final results, give me some time, I can use these genetic sequences to make the disguise of the Skrulls temporarily disabled."
"Nope! I need you to go one step deeper! ”
Mason accentuated his voice and said to Dr. Reed:
"I need you to develop a virus weapon against the genetic weaknesses of the Skrulls, a weapon that only works against the Skrulls and does not affect human health.
Or the plague. ”
"I can't do it!"
Dr. Reed's face changed and he immediately refused.
Seeing his decisive appearance, Mason knew that this guy was not actually unable to do it, but that the Virgin's disease had flareed up again.
He shook his head and said to Dr. Reed:
"The best biologist among mutants told me that it is absolutely doable, it's not that you can't do it, you don't want to do it! But whatever you want, my compatriots are doing the same research, just a matter of waiting a little longer.
I can afford it, Reed.
But your world doesn't necessarily have that much time. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Logan behind him, who was listening to a book from heaven, and motioned to him:
"Help me contact Latvia, I'm sure His Majesty Doom has seen the Skrrull landing, and he might be willing to help us develop a virus that could kill the Skuru mongrels overnight.
Oh yes.
By the way, tell Lord Doom that Dr. Reid is struggling with a moral dilemma and doesn't know whether to do it or not. ”
"Don't look for him! Doom will use this invasion to wreak havoc, and his mercy will be limited to his people rather than the whole world. ”
Dr. Reed's face changed dramatically, and he grabbed Mason's wrist and said:
"I'll help you! However, time is of the essence, and viruses developed for weaknesses can only lead to absolute weakness, which will effectively reduce the difficulty and development time.
I've looked at the database of the Skurulls, Mason, and they're controlled by a consciousness called 'Master'.
They are guilty.
But genocide is too much. ”
"Well, whatever you want, but their 'masters' are coming soon."
Mason stared at Dr. Reed and said:
"Get what we need as soon as possible, Doctor, and may your wisdom be as strong as your conscience. Mr. Zhang, will you stay and help? ”
"Of course, I'll stay."
Zhang Parker was still the same grinning hater, and he pouted and said:
"As a conscientious entrepreneur, it's too inconsistent with my identity to fight and kill or something, by the way, call Tony Stark over, if we want to complete the weaponization of the virus as soon as possible, we need his conscienceless head."
"Boom"
The roar of thunder interrupted the discussion in the lab.
They rushed to the window and saw a blinding rainbow of light descending from the sky, and then a large blond man carrying a woman covered in blood and hanging her limbs out of the rainbow bridge.
"Yo."
The big man with a chic and fluffy hairstyle shouted to the square in front of him:
"Someone take her to the treatment room! This poor creature was bled and fell in the Golden Palace Square, I thought she was running to touch porcelain, it was miserable. Also, who can give me a glass of wine?
The long journey is exhausting me.
Odin is on top, is Midgard etiquette so bad? ”
