"Bang"

The helmet, which had nearly melted into golden debris, fell to the ground.

The original ornate and elegant helmet had now been crumpled into a strange ball of scrap metal, and the finger prints on it were clearly visible, like another abandoned artifact of the blacksmith.

It exudes high temperatures.

It was the manifestation of the process of the devouring of the divine power of the god Nabu in the material world, and the shattering of the helmet represented the death of the last shelter of the god of order, and the hollow red light of the eyes of the helmet was more like the hatred of the spirit when it was dying.

It "watched" at Kent Nelson, who had also fallen to the ground, calling weakly for his minions, while Doctor Fate, with the terrible scorch marks on his face, endured terrible pain, but still trembling in wails and reaching out to regain his hand in the helmet that called him.

"Smack"

Mason's black boots stomped on top of Naboo's helmet, and the Black Death Sword's armor exerted the extreme pressure of divinity like a warhammer, stomping the twisted helmet into shattered shards.

The wail of non-existence resounded through the already devastated area, the last cry and curse of Naboo's spirit before it perished.

It cursed Mason and the murderers involved in today's murder in the most vicious language, but the "perpetrators" were expressionless, and Zakang also spitted a smoke ring and gestured a middle finger into the air.

"Nope! What did you all do? ”

Nelson, who fell to the ground, watched in amazement as the Naboo Helmet was completely destroyed, and the whispers that had been haunting his heart dissipated but did not make him feel the slightest relief.

He held his head and screamed on the ground.

The double pain from severe burns to his face and a broken sternum also irritated him, and the confused caster shouted:

"Without Naboo, we would no longer be able to enter the land of the gods, and there would be no other place for this world that would suffer, where war would sweep and death would follow.

No, Mason Cooper!

You ruined everything!

You have pushed us into ruin and destruction, and nothing will turn around. ”

"So, this is the agreement that the god Nabu urged you to make with the Warlock?"

Mason didn't care about Kent Nelson's swearing.

People who have been mind-controlled for a long time have this virtue, and it takes some time for them to get rid of some of the deep-seated concepts that the controller has left in their minds.

But he was intrigued by the "truth" that Nelson revealed at this moment.

The black death sword suit on his body faded like a tide.

It was really "eating" this time, and Mason could even feel the moans of pain coming from the thing at the mental level, but it quickly fell silent, as if it was completely dead.

Eating the divine power of God Nabu shouldn't have killed the Black Death Sword, right?

Thinking so, Mason crouched down with a hint of worry, and said to the old wizard in front of him, who was old but majestic, but who was holding his head and wailing like a defeated dog:

"I thought you were taking refuge in Warlocks and the Stars, but now it seems that there is an inside story about this? Is it the forces of the gods who hope that the Council has sent an invitation to Naboo?

Have they promised that if the world gives up resistance under your leadership, they will become one of them and receive all kinds of assistance to get through the dark times that will follow? ”

"It was a conversation between the gods, and the real agreement was known only to them."

Nelson's sober consciousness was returning, and even without the Naboo Helmet, he was a very powerful spellcaster.

After a brief moment of confusion, he stroked the horrific scorch marks on his cheeks, which were like "torture" marks left on him by the heat caused by the Black Death Sword when it drew Naboo's divine power.

Mason deliberately left him with this scar of shame.

Although Ms. Inza was promised to spare Kent Nelson's life, in Mason's mind, it was impossible to go unpunished for doing something wrong.

If punishment can be avoided with the reason of mind control, then what is the use of law and justice?

Besides, Kent Nelson is not completely innocent in this matter.

"Personally, I prefer to speak directly to the initiators of the war."

The old wizard did not hide his disgust and resistance to Mason, he covered his face and whispered:

"The god Nabu has his ideas, and I have mine, and the warlock has promised me that if I sacrifice you, war may be avoided"

"So you believe it?"

Mason sneered:

"You don't need even a little brain to be a Doctor of Destiny these days, do you? Or is it true, as we guessed, that you're going through the same mental journey as the Warlock did when he turned black?

Do you really have a common language with him?

Do you know how his world, my hometown, ends? ”

"But at least people survived."

The old wizard whispered:

"He told me the story of your homeland, that the nuclear war was just an accident.

Without it, things would be best handled, no one would be hurt, no one would be forced into war, and these creatures would spend the rest of their lives in the garden world.

I am the guardian of the world, and I must think about all living beings.

Avoiding a devastating war is the number one priority, not to mention the shock! This war, all the strife in such a state of affairs is just meaningless internal friction.

We need a strong will to concentrate all our strength."

"It's really a super classic speech, I'm really afraid that you will say crazy things like 'what's wrong with being a dog in the Stellar Society' in the next sentence."

Mason stood up.

He looked at Kent Nelson, who was frail at his feet, whose heavy dark circles and haggard appearance after taking off Naboo's helmet meant that he must be under terrible pressure.

He made a choice.

Perhaps it was the only choice he could make in the midst of all the possibilities of the future, just like the Supreme Mage Stephen Strange back then.

This also seems to confirm what Hat said to Mason a long time ago about spellcasters, and the power of the mysterious side is more likely to be infected by the darkness of the universe.

And the stronger the emotional will, the more stubborn it will be when making wrong choices.

"That's not right!"

Xiaozha, who was closest to the wizard Nelson and regarded him as a mentor, could not listen any longer, and she stepped forward and grabbed the old wizard by the collar and yelled at him:

"We are still resisting, how can you, as the leader, be the first to surrender? Just because you can't see hope in the peep of the future, so you decide to go along with the darkness?

How did you end up like this! This is not the person I remember! ”

"He's just tired."

Mason waved his hand.

Reaching out and plucking Nelson's cloak of fate and tossing it to Zakon, he pulled off the Anubis amulet around his neck and stuffed it into the tearful little prickly hand.

He walked past the old wizard to the three-eyed sculpture floating in front of him, and said to the people behind him:

He may have had the same hope as we do, but the pressure of the end eventually overwhelmed him, causing him to utter such mad babbling in his eyes, and to see that everything would return to darkness as a matter of fate.

After all, he's made bad 'bad friends', and there's a mad spirit inside him who is constantly brainwashing him, and he thinks that I'm the source of unrest who won't give in.

He apparently thinks the world is no better off than I would be.

Yes.

I don't deny that.

I did cause some trouble for the world. ”

As he spoke, Mason's hand touched the sculpture in front of him, and he looked at the three eyes that had re-lit and said to the other side:

"Warlock, I've stepped into the trap you set for me, and it's time for you not to show up and reap my life, which means nothing to you?"

"I'm just reminiscing about the moment you just defeated poor Nelson, it was so wonderful."

The sorcerer's cold voice rang out from the sculpture, and he said:

"You're such a kind man, Mason, you're trying to pull Nelson back from the brink of collapse, and there wasn't a good person like you to help me when I was in the same situation.

But it was that accident that shaped you who you are now.

In a sense, you are a life that I have shaped, and now that we are on two sides of the enemy, it is a dramatic development

There's one last chance for you! ”

He said in an emphatic tone:

"Give up all your senseless resistance and return to where you rightfully are! You are a real talent, rare, the stars will be coveted and seized by other forces, I need talents like you to help me break the situation.

After clearing the swordsman and hunter henchmen, I will give you real power, and the Stars will be at the helm, and you have proven to be very good at this field.

The resources of the entire Dark Stars will be at your disposal, and I will not prevent you from continuing your 'plan of salvation'.

Mason, think about it. ”

"It's a tempting bargaining chip, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't know what you've done in the past, I'd be a little tempted."

Mason took a step back.

Pulling out the pistol from his waist and aiming at the three-eyed sculpture that emitted a dark streamer in front of him, he said:

"I thought it wouldn't be a big deal for me to destroy our homeland with my own hands, but when its shattered visions came back to me so often in my dreams, I realized that it had completely changed me.

I'm not just a Hogwarts Doomsday Beast, I'm no longer just a Wizard of Hope in the Caribbean, and I'm given a new identity in the afterglow of the apocalypse of a world at war.

It's not just a battle of ideas.

Warlock Stephen Strange! This is still the hatred of the country and the family, and the last prayer of my hometown was conveyed to me when it was destroyed.

It wants you to get down on your knees and repent!

It's going to see you bleed!

It wants to hear you cry in Hell!

So, that's my answer to you, come on! In this new world that raised me, two of us who belong to the remnants of the old world have a final confrontation.

You die!

Or I'm dead!

There is no third way. ”

"Bang"

The three-eyed sculpture that shot out of the chamber and shone with a black light exploded before Mason's eyes.

The flying black streamer swirled like a hell's cry to create a dancing door to the world, and two twisted figures shuffled out of it with gloomy steps.

The man on the left is dressed in red, with a dark, twisted bat and lightning sign on his chest.

The one on the right is armed with a halberd and gloomy goggles on top of her cracked face, while her helmet still reveals the construction of a bat helmet.

But there are no warlocks!

That bastard got a trick.

He didn't choose to fight when he faced Mason's challenge.

Perhaps it was the disdain to fight to the death with a small B-class personnel in the respect of the Mentor, or the pressure of some "allies" who were unable to settle the fateful feud with Mason himself.

But at this moment, Kent Nelson, who was being erected by Zakang and Shazam, suddenly raised his head to look at the ancient armillary sphere running above the top floor of the Tower of Destiny.

On the magic item that represented the trajectory of the world, thousands of red points of light burst out densely.

Each point of light represents the opening of a world gate, and within each world door will come a group of high-level pioneers who have been sent by warlocks to sprinkle destruction on the earth with a beastly mind.

"Invasion. The invasion has begun! ”

The old wizard muttered to himself, all his efforts to stop the war had been in vain at this moment.

"Inza!"

Mason's eyes narrowed the moment he saw the two "killers" teleported by the warlock in front of him to take his life, and he shouted behind him.

Hidden in the Tower of Destiny, Lady Inza immediately activated the tower's mechanisms as agreed between her and Mason, and after Doctor Fate was defeated, she became the master of the tower.

One after another, the streamers of forced teleportation techniques appeared, wrapping around everyone present.

Zar and Nelson were the first to be sent away, followed by Shazam and Jason Brad, and Poison Ivy threw a plant spore at Mason and was sent out of the Tower of Destiny.

Zak Kang tried his best to stay, but he couldn't stand up to the power of the entire Tower of Destiny.

The boy looked at Mason's back one last time, and he knew that Mason had made up his mind to stay here and take out the killer sent by the Warlock.

As he said, it was a trap for him, and it would be rude for him not to fight.

The outside world, which has been invaded, clearly needs these spellcasters who have just defeated Doctor Fate, and Mason asks Lady Inza to get them where they need to go.

"Nope! Little sweetheart! ”

Hallie was the most violent.

She swung the Origin X metal hammer to disrupt the light of the teleportation spell and lunged at Mason, she didn't want her little sweetheart to face the two terrifying bastards in front of her who looked dangerous.

But Mason turned around and hugged her.

A gentle kiss on her forehead whispered something in her ear, and with a push of both hands, Harley disappeared into the streamer behind her.

Judging by the reflection of the light, Mason's cutie should have been sent back to Gotham.

"The Tower of Destiny has been sealed, and it cannot be opened again until your battle is decided."

Ms. Inza's weak voice rang in Mason's ears as he said:

"You destroyed the Naboo Helmet and caused the tower's magic to spiral out of control, and I can't help you more, but I can't beat it!

The explosion of the Tower of Destiny will send these two dangerous characters into another dimension."

"It's useless."

Mason looked at the two in front of him and said:

"Any spatial banishment will be void in the presence of the Speedster, and I can't let these two guys out, they're going to make a big mess.

Let's go, Ms. Inza.

You've done the best you can, and I won't be more rude, but remember to send all of your X-metal collections to our agreed delivery location.

This is Kent Nelson's life money. ”

"Huh"

The scarlet streamer was like a knife, stabbing into Mason's body so hard that the water burst into flames, and under the red tights, the guy dressed like the Flash had already launched a deadly attack.

The speed of his body throbbed into scarlet.

This made him look a little more awe-inspiring and murderous than the average Speedster, and the overlay helmet could not see any expression, only the heaviness of the fusion of coldness and cruelty.

"Red Death!"

Mason's figure reconstructed in another body of water, and then activated his Speed Force Tail Ring to allow him to run at the speed of light, one red and one yellow.

But in the next moment, Mason was hit again, and had to switch the water again to avoid the fatal wound.

Another dispatched killer swung a trident in his hand like a black coral cast, and the water flow that Mason used to reconstruct was immediately restrained in place, unable to form a full body.

He fashioned his head, stared at the slender figure that bound him in front of him, and said:

"You're a drowned ghost, should I call you 'Bruce Wayne'?"

Neither of the two killers named answered Mason, but they did not deny their identities either, and simply pressed left and right towards the controlled target.

The Red Death raises his Lightspeed Blade, while the Drowning Wraith clutches his Backwater Halberd, and only needs one more attack to slay Mason there.

"I know who the Warlock's lieutenant is for this battle."

Mason, who was bound, complained in the water body transformation:

"It's like smelling a wild dog in reply, and I know that the bastard wouldn't want to miss an opportunity to harvest Batman, but I'm curious.

How much money did Laughter give you to run to the heroes? Have your funeral expenses been paid in advance? ”

"Smack"

The magic bottle hidden under the bookshelf behind it exploded in advance, and flying crimson energy shot from behind and smashed Brucy Wayne into the air.

Professor McGonagall, who landed on the ground as a cat, also threw Avada at the Red Death in the transformation of Animagus, but was instantly dodged by the opponent and returned with a light-speed knife that tore the zombie McGonagall into flying ashes.

But the power of the corrupt black was taking effect, allowing Professor McGonagall to resurrect in the next second, easily untying Mason's restraining power.

The captain who fell to the ground moved his neck, he looked at the 3V2 battlefield in front of him, pouted and said:

"Alright then, I declare, the Dark Batman Hunt Contest starts now!"
