42. Invincible Uncle Swallow! Someone here touches you!
The Vault Dweller's restart was a false alarm, but Mason shrugged his shoulders regretfully as the Green Goblin's headless head was swept out of the main control room by mechanical tentacles.
He said to Heri, who was beside him:
"I was going to bring this middle-aged version of Norman back to show old Norman, but that's fine, it's dangerous to take a cunning guy who always wants to pick up leaks."
"Osborne's Green Goblin is tough enough."
Ciri nodded approvingly, and shared the grapevine with Mason:
"He joined the Quint Society under your recommendation, but he is just a strong resource eater, and he simply can't shirk all the tasks ordered by Old A.
But because of those personnel who were placed in various departments under the council, Lao A had no way to kick the Green Goblin out.
I'm sure Old A knows about the offensive and defensive alliance between you and the Green Goblin, but he can't come up with any good solutions. ”
"It's not that he can't deal with the old green goblin's eyes, but he's just lazy to spend his time."
Mason corrected:
"Even if Norman doesn't cooperate, all he has in his hands is an innocuous wasteland world, and in the eyes of Old A, the threat of Old Green Goblin is not as good as mine.
Our leader, who is always focused on the grand narrative and his own great goals, has clearly fallen, but he doesn't seem to have learned his lesson. ”
"Welcome to the Vault Dweller."
As they entered the ship along the rift in the main control room, Bartmoss manipulated the Throne of Machines to hover in front of the two of them, with blinding blood stains on it, and an autonomous drone floating there to wash and wipe it.
"Do you want to sit on a chair? Mason. ”
The God of Hackers sends the Throne of the Machine to Mason, inviting:
"I've unlocked the lock, and you can experience what it's like to use a human brain to drive a ship, and the secrets that Brignac has hidden in this ship.
But I saw the journal that you had emptied his treasure room, and I was sorry that I was going to divide the spoils fairly. ”
"But we said we would, you just want this ship."
Mason refused to sit on Brainiac's mechanical throne, and he looked up at one of the observation cameras on the throne and said:
"It's only right that we take the treasure, when I was fighting on this ship before, I noticed that there was a sealed structure in the middle of the hull, and from what I know about the ship's vehicle, it is definitely not a hull device.
So I'm curious, what's in there?
That's why you chose to work with me for those things, right?
Those hidden secrets are what you data beings must obtain, would you mind sharing this secret with me? For the sake of our friends. ”
"Of course, I'd be happy to introduce you to Brainiac's true ambitions."
Bartmoss did not refuse Mason's request, but before opening the sealed space, he reminded Mason:
"But you have to tell me first, what have you found in Brainac's treasury?"
Mason and Ciri looked at each other.
He freed the contents he had previously taken from the treasury from his bag, the most conspicuous of which was, of course, the black orb protected by a separate energy device.
Mason didn't have time to take a closer look at it because of the Sentinel's raid before, and as soon as he took it out, the hacker god in front of him let out a sigh:
"Sure enough! It is the 'Black Apple', a cosmic artifact that Brandiac seized during the events of the collapse of the Wall of Origin. ”
"Black apples? The Wall of Origins Collapses? ”
Mason blinked at the empty Throne of the Machines in front of him, and although there was no one on it, he could see Bartmoss, dressed like a programmer, sitting on it pushing his eyes.
He asked:
"Does this have to do with the truth of the impact?"
"It's not related, this incident happened a long time ago, it's hard to say if there is a direct connection between the two, and I also found an ancient document after sneaking into the fox's nest to study the host."
Bart Moss explains:
"That multiverse-level crisis has been quelled by the intervention of some mysterious organizations, but many artifacts have been thrown into the material universe in the broken wall of origin, which is a multiverse barrier and a frontier.
This 'black apple' is one of them. ”
The god of hacking controlled a mechanical tentacle with a detection function, and circled the black sphere, and he sighed:
"It is said that this thing gathers the forbidden knowledge of all things from the origin of the universe, and can give all those who hold it 'answers', and the scientists of the fox's nest have been wanting to get one.
But after nearly 18 years of pioneering and execution, I searched countless worlds, but I found nothing.
This is truly priceless!
But it did fit in with Blenac's instinct to pursue all the knowledge that could be grabbed, and I suspect that his secret hope that the Council would secretly carry out his big project was inspired by the 'Black Apple' to him
Mason, can this thing be exchanged for us? ”
Barthmoss requested:
"We're willing to give everything you want in exchange, and if you don't want to cut your love, we can also exchange it for the right to use it, just once.
We have a lot of questions, and we want answers. ”
"We'll talk about it later."
Mason looked at the black orb of extraordinary origin, and said to Bartmoss:
"I'm not stalling for time, the main thing is that I have to study it before I can come to a conclusion, and if it doesn't mean much to me, I can even give it to you.
Can you help me unlock this stand-alone energy protection device? ”
"Yes, but it will take some time."
The hacker god replied:
"You can unlock it while going to Brainac's 'real treasure trove', but the rest of the stuff must also be taken seriously, and Brainac's collection is anything but simple."
"That's true."
Ciri wasn't interested in the black apple.
She would be looking through a few other things, a chair of Morbius that had been partially disassembled, an Origin X metal weapon covered in a strange silver glow, and finally a pile of things that were stacked like mechanical parts.
The first two are easy to understand, but in the end, the oil-stained stuff doesn't seem to match a word like treasure trove at all.
The stains should have been thrown into the dump, but the cosmic artifact that Radiacs so cherished was a testament to its prowess, along with a cosmic artifact like the Black Apple.
Mason bent down and put his hand on the pile of broken parts, and the next moment of feedback made his face change slightly:
Miracle Machine/Wish Machine
Condition: Disassembled, Components Complete, Reassembled
Effect:
Activate the Wish Machine and fulfill your heart's strongest desires.
Prompt!
The Wish Machine disassembles itself after each activation, and its parts are scattered in any known area, and must be reassembled before it can be used again.
Maker: Morrison
Item description: Have you seen "Dragon Ball"? This thing is the technological version of Dragon Ball, but when you can use it in the future, be sure to choose your wishes carefully, you only have a once in a lifetime.
Prompt!
Restoring the Miracle Machine requires Lv10 in engineering and an understanding of the "Law of Cause and Effect".
Mason withdrew his palm with a strange expression, which surprised Ciri and asked:
"What's that thing?"
Mason pursed his lips and said:
"Miracle Machine. It was a broken wreckage, of course, and it must have taken Brainiac a long time to find it, trying to put it back together, but it wasn't that easy. ”
"The 'miracle maker' that claims to grant all wishes without side effects?"
The Hunter was stunned for a moment, and then Masase:
"When the fate machine in the big library was repaired, it was said that it was based on the principle of the machine, can you really fix this thing?"
"Not yet, but maybe in the future."
Mason is cautiously optimistic.
But to be honest, the repair of this thing's information label requires Lv10 engineering and familiarity with the "law of cause and effect" requires him to be stressed.
This is basically an "advanced challenge" that he can only try after he has completed the full level of all branches.
"Then you take it first, don't forget to owe me a favor."
Ciri picked and chose those Origin X metal weapons, took a few of the best and rewarded the remaining defective items to his capable subordinates.
This is her share in this exploration, and with the Origin Glove artifact in her hand at this time, this harvest is very impressive even for the rich and generous Great Mentor Old Aunt.
Mason turned his attention back to Brainiac's last collection, the black mechanical chair with some of the modules removed, and he reached out and patted it.
Info tab pops up:
Safe Mode Morbius Chair No. 0
Quality: Legendary Engineering Item: Immortal Craft [Removed key modules to reduce quality]
Effect:
One. Treasures of Knowledge:
In order to make it easier to grasp the mysteries of the universe, Breniac dismantled and harmlessed the Möbius chair he found, removed key modules to make his system open source, and no longer forced the qualification of users.
This deprives the item of its ability to perceive the mysteries of the universe.
However, it is connected to the central database of the Vault Dweller's ship, through which the user can browse all the information left behind by Brainac, the conqueror of the universe.
The object can interact with all known methods of data storage, and can capture and store knowledge at the user's will.
The item's data storage is based on Apocalypse technology and can be considered unlimited.
The item is crafted in a way that mimics mother box technology, allowing for data intrusion and remote manipulation of most of the machines.
Two. Dimensional Vehicles:
This item is considered a Vehicle, and the minimum requirement for safe use of it is Engineering Lv8.
At Lv 8, the user can attempt to disarm the weapon system from "Safe Mode" and unblock it.
When the safe mode is deactivated, the Mobius chair will have a [Plane Teleportation] effect, which can freely and safely send the user into any recorded plane.
Three. Urgent need for restoration:
Once the user has learned how the Möbius Chair works and how it works, they can try to restore the vehicle to its original version and reconnect the item to the mysteries of the universe.
Warn!
This will cause the [harmless] effect of the Möbius chair to disappear and cause unpredictable effects on the user.
Prompt!
Perfect repair of this item requires Lv10 in engineering and knowledge of "Number Rate".
Maker: Mittron
Item description: There may be many Möbius chairs in countless parallel worlds, but the one in front of you is more special, because it is the source of all Moubis chairs, and it is the first mystery chair born in the entire parallel world system.
Needless to say, you just need to know that even Blayniac doesn't have the guts to sit on it directly.
Mason stared at the name of the chair, the "0" logo made him raise an eyebrow, Team K had a complete Möbius chair on hand before, it was a gift from the master.
But the chair was temporarily given to the Fox's Nest to study the subject of world integration, and it seems that this "castrated version" has come at the right time.
At least get Mason familiar with the operation.
However, he looked at his current engineering level of only Lv6+1 and sighed a little, and he still needed to upgrade one level to meet the minimum requirements for controlling this thing.
So.
Colleagues in the "Mason Engineering Department"! Don't rest tonight, right?
He sent a message to his own minds about the water bodies who were busy in the suitcase factory, and he quickly got a response from his doppelgangers.
Everyone is a group of volume kings, and there is no problem of tiredness in the shaping of water molecules.
Isn't it just staying up late to cultivate immortals, come on!
"Huh"
The lower hatch from the main control room to the ship's internal structure slowly opened, and Bartmoss activated a Brainiac escort robot to carry Ciri and Mason down like a guide.
He explains:
"You'll see Brainiac's biggest secret in a moment, and be prepared, even a data life like me was thrilled when I saw it for the first time.
You must know that Brainiac's desire to find the perfect body for himself to complete his ascension is not just to gain power, it is only part of his grand goal.
Or rather, the first step in a great journey.
It's a pity that this level 12 intelligent creature seems to have chosen the wrong opponent.
His real journey ended before it even began. ”
"It's shocking to see a high-powered Hope Council member as a great journey."
Mason pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, his heart full of anticipation of revealing the secret, Ciri was not so optimistic, her hand resting on the hilt of the Sword of the Lake Maiden at her waist.
Her instincts, as a great guru, told her that there was often a danger that would await such big secrets.
The Vault Dweller's ship's internal structure was several layers of encryption, and it took Battemos to open them all, but at the same time that the last major door was opened, several dangerous beams of light shot out of it.
Ciri's sneer flashed out in his heart, and then a scream sounded from the front, Mason blinked his eyes and raised his right hand and rushed out, scolding the group of guys who were fighting in Ciri inside:
"Stand down!"
This rebuke was like a law.
In the effect of the Skrull's Mind Beacon on his right wrist, the large group of Skrulls hiding here dropped their weapons and fell to the ground one by one.
Queen Vikland, who had disappeared in the chaos before, retreated, but she gritted her teeth and stood in the way of the path to the depths, pleading with Mason and Ciri:
"Don't destroy it! Please! ”
"What are you hiding here?"
Mason asked, not needing an answer from the Skrull, and to the chuckle of Bartmoss, the last mechanical partition was opened, revealing the Vault Dweller's deepest secrets.
In a mysterious space like a "glass fish tank" in front of you, tens of thousands of world planets that have been shrunk to the size of a fist are arranging in it.
They are set to move in a special pattern, and even a captured star is placed in this "miniature galaxy" to emit light and heat.
It's like a simulation of an astronomical experiment.
But every world in this system is real, and every planet is carefully selected and housed by Brainiac.
These are the "boutique worlds" that the conquerors of the universe have spent many years accumulating.
"They're protecting their world, Mason. They fear that you will choose to destroy their true homeland because of the war crimes they have committed. ”
Bartmoss explained it quietly:
"Look closely, the seventeenth planet of the third spiral arm.
The green one!
That is the home planet of the Skrulls, where all the people of Empress Vikeland live, and they have been housed in this miniature galaxy for almost seventeen years. ”
Amid the pleading cries of the Skrulls, Mason stepped forward and stood in front of the unsealed console, and he and Ciri looked at the miniature galaxy in motion in front of them with a shocked look.
This must have been shaped by Brainiac with the power of some unknown technology.
"You don't have to try, they can't be released now."
The god of hackers whispered:
"Brainiac placed them here as his 'steps to godhood' in the New Era, and he set a safety lock for the system in advance.
Only when an epochal change is detected will the planets be released from the stable system in front of them.
If you want to forcibly unravel them, you will only make them annihilate each other in an instant. ”
"Become a god through this?"
Ciri was puzzled and said:
"I can't understand it."
"It's 'symbolic.'"
Mason bit his lip, and he whispered:
"Brainiac is deliberately mimicking the birth process of the Devourer of Planets, one of the five gods of the universe, and I probably know all his plans."
Ps:
Brainiac's Warframe and Collection Weapons should be the Tenth Metal, which is the X Metal, not the Ninth Metal· N metal, I made a mistake, thank you brothers for reminding me, and then find time to change it.
