44. Day trip to Asgard

Black Strange was noncommittal about Mason's claims.

Equal contact was obviously not the end that this powerful spellcaster wanted, and as a fierce man who had destroyed the dimensional world with his own hands and walked the path of darkness, his understanding of cooperation obviously had a different meaning.

To sum up, everything has to be left to him, and Mason has the right to suggest but cannot bypass him to make decisions.

He had been waiting for Mason to ask for help to implement the plan, but it turned out that Mason could do the incredible thing without his intervention.

This forced Black Strange to reconsider the terms of the partnership.

The two sides do not have any common interests to speak of.

For Black Strange, all he wants is a chance to try, and if he doesn't, he won't be disappointed too much, after all, he has failed too many times before.

But Mason is betting on his entire net worth and the presence of his compatriots and companions to advance his plan.

It's a win-and-death adventure, and I'd rather not have strong foreign help than invite an uncontrolled factor to stay in your camp.

After several minutes of confrontation and silence between the two sides, Hei Qiwei nodded, took the initiative to take a step back and said:

"You have proven your ability and strength, and I am willing to settle for this incredible victory. But I also have my demands, and you cannot abuse my power unless you are willing to obey me.

You know what I mean. ”

"I understand."

Mason stood up, nodded and said:

"We invited you to come as a backer and hidden hole card for the superior forces, naturally it is impossible for you to show your face casually, and we will only invite you to come out at a critical moment.

Stephen, you've seen all of our research and conjectures about the impact event, so I would like to ask, in your opinion, do you think that after the world fusion I plan enters the second stage, will it attract the intervention of those cosmic-level beings in the two planes that are about to collide? ”

"You're just a hypothesis, and all conjectures are based on theory, except for one Utopia experiment that advanced to the second stage."

Black Strange shook his head and said:

"The three shocks that this world has encountered were all terminated by me when they were just brewing, and I can indeed feel the force of the collision between planes, but I can't give you an accurate answer to what hasn't happened yet.

But if you're curious about the attitude of those cosmic-level forces towards this, then why not ask them personally?

Thor is preparing to return to Asgard."

Black Strange pointed outside and said:

"You can come with him and ask God-King Odin what he thinks about it."

"Well, good advice."

Mason nodded and left with Harry, and the moment he stepped out of the dark realm, he saw the Wasteland Heartless Hulk being pinned to the ground and pounded by the King Hulk.

The people around him were still wearing bandages and miserable, but they cheered for this Hulk civil war, especially the members of the "Hulk Army" who followed King Hulk to make a big fuss.

It turns out that the accumulation of anger caused by Daddy Banner's indulgence of the Hulk for seventeen years is useless against an enhanced version of the Hulk Gladiator who fights with his brains and tactics.

No matter how powerful Hulk's punch is, it can't hurt the skilled World Smasher, but King Hulk repeatedly slams his head with his understanding of his own strength.

He uses this "physical calm" method to forcibly wake Daddy Bruce Banner from his slumber of anticipation of death.

Rao is the Lost Hulk builds up anger and strengthens himself faster than the King Hulk, but like a fierce and seasoned hunter dealing with a dangerous beast, after nearly ten minutes of fighting, the Lost Hulk is finally defeated.

He was hit on the head more than a dozen times by King Hulk with a shield in a row, and then let out a painful roar, and then returned to Daddy Banner's "Fire Cloud Evil God" posture in the rapid shrinkage of his body.

"Damn! Idiot! Don't you see your other self bent on dying? ”

The irascible old man in tattered clothes got up and yelled at King Hulk:

"Can't you satisfy the desire of the other self? Can't you see that every day of my life is sin? Give me a knife! How hard can it be to give me a stab in the head? ”

"Hulk will fail, but Hulk won't be cowardly enough to commit suicide, there's no glory in killing you here."

King Hulk snorted disdainfully, and in the cheers of his own Hulk army, he put on a red robe and waved to the emaciated Banner Daddy behind him, saying:

"If you feel pain, go and atone for your sins!

Death doesn't bring shame, you're the pathetic thing in all of Hulkry, a twisted thing shaped by despair and darkness, so sad that I don't want to give you a good time.

The death you seek is not with me, continue to suffer! ”

He strode out of the crowd and glanced at Mason, who was taking out the magic bottle and preparing to retrieve Daddy Banner, the King Hulk with the Champion Crown on his head staring at Mason and said:

"Gao Tianzun told me about the impact before he was pinched off his neck, and he babbled that the established dark fate would be in turmoil, and perhaps he was referring to you.

I don't belong to the earth anymore, but I want my new home to be stable for a long time."

"Then you're thinking too much, Hulk Majesty."

Mason pushed the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:

"When the fourth shock comes, you will know that staying away from Earth will not get you out of the crisis, but I will leave you a communication device.

When you or I need help, we can talk to each other.

After all, who doesn't want their faction to have an invincible King Hulk as a striker when they step onto the battlefield? ”

"Hmph."

King Hulk didn't care, but he accepted the communication link from Mason and returned to their ship with his Hulk army to leave.

He didn't even say goodbye to any of his former friends.

Obviously, he really doesn't have any nostalgia for the earth, and he is probably heartbroken when he was exiled by the members of the Illuminati, and a world that doesn't love him doesn't have much to remember even if it's called his hometown.

"It's a pity, Daddy Banner, it looks like you're going to have to keep looking for someone who can kill you."

Mason walked over to the heartless Hulk, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, handed him a pair of reading glasses, and said:

"Don't worry, we have a lot of challenges ahead of us, and you can always find a guy who is strong enough and cold-blooded enough to give you the death you expect.

Do you want to get some sleep and rest now? ”

"Whatever! You scoundrel! ”

Daddy Banner glared at Mason fiercely, but didn't resist allowing Mason to recycle himself into a magic bottle maintained by Pym particles, and was carried into Mason's arms like a figure.

The Scarlet Witch zombie that was released earlier has been recovered with the help of the shock team, and Lawyer Ma, who was possessed by the beast, took advantage of the chaos, but Mason was not disappointed, and he did not plan to keep Lawyer Ma as a collection for a long time.

"You're going to Asgard with me? No problem! My dad probably wants to meet a guest from another world like you, too. ”

A few minutes later, Thor, who was drinking heavily with a large glass of wine, drunkenly turned his head to look at Mason.

This guy still has all kinds of bruises and traces of post-battle embarrassment, but a difficult victory is more precious, and when it comes to comradeship, Thor doesn't hesitate too much in the face of Mason's request.

He drank the cosmic brew in his hand in one gulp, looked back at the unlucky Thanos who was being cared for by Nebula, and finally waved goodbye to his heroic friends not far away.

"Heimdall! Pick me up! ”

Thor shouted with Thor's hammer in his hand, and in the next moment, a rainbow of light fell from the sky, enveloping Thor and Mason and Harley beside him, and disappeared in an instant.

A few seconds later, Zakang suddenly rushed out of the ruins, and behind him, the disheveled face, Miss Crystal, the inhuman princess with peach blossoms on her face and weak hands and feet.

Apparently, these two guys didn't know how to look at each other, so a friendship cannon came from the ruins after the war.

The quicksilver in this world has become a zombie, and the crystal princess is destined to be widowed, and it is nothing to have a heart-to-body contact with a foreign visitor.

"Hey! Wait for me! ”

Grabbing the belt of his trousers, he stood on top of the rune left by the opening of the rainbow bridge on the ground, and shouted to the sky:

"I haven't gotten in the car yet, hey! Don't you take me with you to hang out in Asgard? Bastard! Mason! Did you hear that? You're a big bastard! ”

——

"Buzz"

The mysterious Rainbow Bridge crosses the Nine Realms in an instant, transporting Thor and his guests into the Asgardian realm.

Mason walked out of the swirling and shining light gate and saw the gatekeeper of the Divine Domain in front of him, General Heimdall, who held the rainbow sword in his hand.

The latter's amber eyes stared at him and Harley, who was curious about everything.

He whispered in a solemn tone:

"The King of the Nine Realms is waiting for you in the Golden Palace, honored guest, who has witnessed your heroic deeds on Earth and is ready to speak with you about the dark mysteries of the universe.

As for you, Prince Thor.

Frigga is unhappy with your farewell, and you're absent from your engagement to Sif because of this, and two angry ladies are waiting for you in the Rune Tower.

You'd better change your clothes and wash off the tiredness of the past. ”

Tolton, who had been rejoicing at his return from victory, suddenly collapsed, but soon the dashing clever man rolled his eyes, pointed to Hallie, who was looking left and right, and said:

"This is also the first time this guest has come to Asgard, and as the prince of God's Domain, I owe it to me to take her on a tour of our world, so please tell my mother.

After completing the diplomatic mission of the royal family, I will go to the Runestory Tower to confess to her, as well as little Sif S. She will always forgive me because I love her and she loves me. ”

Thor then winked at Mason, raised his hammer and grabbed Harry's wrist and flew out.

"Little sweetheart! I'll go shopping and come back! Don't worry about me! ”

Hallie's shrill voice echoed in the glorious streamer of the Rainbow Bridge, and she shouted:

"I'll bring gifts for other people~"

Mason shrugged, thinking that Thor would not make any trouble in Asgard if he watched Harry, so heimdall, accompanied by Heimdall, got on Asgard's advanced and retro sky-chasing plane and quickly crossed the ocean that shrouded the gods and entered the Golden Palace.

Odin in this dimensional world is already waiting for him.

It can be seen that the God King attaches great importance to this meeting.

The entire hall of the Golden Palace had been cleared of the entire perimeter and there were no other observers, and Heimdall was personally guarding the door with the rainbow sword in hand to ensure that the meeting would not be overheard by anyone.

"Salute to you, Your Majesty Odin."

Mason was the first time he had seen a figure of this calibre, and he walked on the lavish carpet to bow down to Odin, who was seated on the throne of the god-king.

The image of the latter is not much different from the god-king in Mason's memory, sitting on a throne adorned with golden snakes, holding a majestic spear of judgment.

On either side of the throne were two ravens perched, staring curiously at the guests in front of them.

The one-eyed Odin did not answer immediately, he looked at Mason condescendingly, and after a few seconds he spoke:

"I have been contacted by Brainiac, who has promised to give the Divine Domain a lot of benefits in exchange for undisturbed operations in Midgard. From him, I got a lot of information about the outside world.

And before that, I had a premonition of the dark tremors of the universe.

This is what you call an 'impact'

I ask you, Mason Cooper, how much do you know about Godhead and Godhead? ”

"Not much, but I know it tastes good."

Mason replied with a surprising answer.

This was directly for Odin, and it was probably the first time he had heard someone say such about the power of the gods, but the god king was the god king after all, and he soon realized that Mason was referring to the devouring of the divine power by the fragments of the black death sword attached to his body.

This gave Odin a small smile.

He thought the young man in front of him was quite interesting, and he didn't shy away from having a weapon on him that could hurt him, although the God King didn't care about the small fragment of the Black Death Sword that was sleeping.

He didn't make any sloppiness or change the subject, and explained to Mason directly:

"There are countless Odin in countless worlds, and not all of them live in the Golden Palace, and not every king of the gods can sit in a realm like Asgard.

But we're interconnected, Mason.

Divine power is a net.

It allows each of the countless planes of Odin to feel each other, each other's joy, each other's loss, and each other's death.

And when necessary, when we decide to move on to the next stage, the presence of the Godhead will allow all of Odin to become one, free from the interference of the plane and the world.

This is a secret that belongs to the gods.

I think it can answer a question in your mind about the Godhead devil who has cursed you. You're not dealing with a single Mephisto, but a combination of all Mephisto in all parallel worlds.

It went further than I did.

It has taken that step, but it has not yet reached the end nor has it been able to become the 'one', and it needs more divinity to help it achieve detachment and integration. ”

At this point, Odin paused, and the king of the gods, with his handsome white beard, said meaningfully to Mason:

"Time is running out for you.

Once Mephisto has completed its detachment, it is impossible for it to be killed again. Just as Brainiac had his own plan in the face of the change of era, Mephisto also had his own plan.

I learned about the Stars from Brainac.

I can honestly tell you that once Mephisto takes the final step, those of you who have been given the devil's tattoo will be the 'price'.

Hmm, ignite the divine fire, refine the divine personality, and transcend all things.

No longer based on the world, eternity is independent of the sacred timeline, and even the change of epochs can no longer affect it. ”

Mason's mind raced to record this important news, and then he looked up, looked at Odin, and asked:

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because you have your own plan, one that's different from everyone else."

Odin stroked his beard and said very bluntly:

"You are resisting it and it has been fruitful, and the other Odin, in your words, my space-time xenomorphs have been connected through the web of divine power to show me what you are doing in other worlds.

You are not willing to sacrifice other beings at the price.

This means that your career will be difficult.

But because of that, I don't have to worry about you sending me out at the cost of being on my plane.

The dark tremors of the universe are accelerating, the end of the epoch is not far off, I have no intention of guaranteeing the eternal survival of Asgard, I know that any dynasty will collapse.

But if we are to choose a path when the end comes, then the plan you have given may be a choice that is more in the interests of the King of the Nine Realms.

I'm old, Mason.

I'm so lucky in this world.

I didn't personally experience family conflicts and human tragedies, my wife is still by my side, and although my son is not successful, it is expected that he will take over as the king of the Nine Realms.

He will choose a way out for his kingdom, and for now, it seems that he trusts you. ”

"I am deeply honored by this, Your Majesty."

Mason nodded, and then he asked his concern, saying:

"If I were to merge the Earth of the original plane with another Earth, the two colliding parallel planes would not be able to relieve the pressure and repel each other at the expense of the Earth.

In the event that it is highly likely that both planes will be destroyed, will the big names in this plane let me go? ”

"Of course they'll stop it."

Odin waved his hand and said:

"After all, your actions are very dangerous, and you are not sure that you will be able to successfully complete the fusion, and it is impossible for them to put their lives on your adventure.

They will do everything in their power to ensure that the Earth of the two planes collides in exchange for the last period of peace leading to the end of the era, and calls it a 'great and necessary sacrifice'.

Not everyone has the courage to face the end as much as you do.

Even those who call themselves 'gods' will choose to bow their heads in the face of death, but at least in this plane, you don't have to worry about that.

Mason Cooper, an exotic visitor. ”

The King of the Nine Realms lit the spear of judgment in his hand to the ground, and in a low and terrifying echo, he said in a deep voice:

"Midgard is the territory of the Nine Realms!

It is one of the Asgardian vassals, and I will not sacrifice my subjects for an illusory period of survival, and if the end is inevitable, the Asgardians will march forward.

Do it! Mason.

If others have any opinions, they can ask me first.

At last.

Mason, the legendary gods are not all your enemies, remember this advice, and you may be able to use it later. ”
