9. Question of the Trajectory Series: How to become friends with strangers as quickly as possible? [Seal push plus update 4/10]
When Mason returns to the Crimson Keep, a vampire-style banquet is taking place here.
It was a ritual used by Countess Emilia to entertain other Bloodline elders, and was held every month as a sign of the Bloodline's supremacy and solidarity in the medieval world.
Of course, there are also some vampire-style activities after the banquet, such as the first hug, blood exchange, and traditional pastimes such as intrigues that cannot be discussed in the black house.
Tonight's banquet was as lavish as usual, but for those who care, the significance of this event is not hesitant to be the "Last Supper".
"This is their last chance, and I wonder if these elegantly disguised medieval vampires can understand it?"
In a room that could overlook the entire banquet hall with magic, Erke, who crossed his arms, whispered to Zakang beside him:
"The Countess has decided to act, and the world will be purged at the same time as we do, but sadly, it seems that not all vampires are as wise as Lady Emilia."
"What stupid are you talking about? Did you throw your brains out of the fight with that vampire girl last night? ”
The vicious Zakang spat out the smoke ring, looked at the magic mirror in front of him reflecting the picture of the banquet hall with an indifferent gaze, and said in a casual tone:
"From what I know about the vampire population, Emilia is the most abnormal one! These guys are born of evil and darkness, and it's in their nature to trick up tricks and cling to destructive power.
What normal vampire would follow Mason and join us in our pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty?
Is that still called a vampire?
But you're right, tonight is the last chance for these old men and ladies, and if they can't see the situation, then we're going to have to do something very bad to them.
Like the kind our captain just did.
To brutally snatch a newborn baby away from his parents and claim that it's all for the good of the child, tsk, this kind of bad thing feels creepy even to hear about it. ”
The sassy male mage, dressed in a vampire-style robe, turned around and nodded in salute to Mason as he emerged from the teleportation light, his movements graceful and imbued with an eerie sense of darkness and aliens.
"I used to think you were Batman's best apprentice, but now I finally understand that you are definitely the absolute enemy of countless Batboy in countless parallel worlds."
Za Kang said in an exaggerated tone:
"Don't talk about robbing our Batman's son as a subordinate, and now even other people's children have to be snatched and raised, can't you see poor Bruce Wayne's family complete?
Do you want that child to have your last name in the future? ”
"Shut up, it's just a strategy."
Mason angrily stepped down from the Mobius chair, and while releasing the four time stagnant capsules in the travel bag, he said to Zakang:
"You have no idea how dangerous the Lords of Justice are, they have designed a device beneath the Bat Cave that resembles a World Gate, which is now complete and in the testing phase.
It could open a portal to the pre-positioned plane, which I suspect was inspired by the Mother Box and Conqueror's technology.
They are clearly preparing for both.
If we don't show up at this time, then the future of the matter is most likely to be Lord Superman and the Righteous Lords to hold that world for a final confrontation with the Conqueror, while the Grey Bat and the Queen of Justice will take the rest to another world.
They are the sharp knives of war, and their 'immigration' work will never be carried out in a peaceful way.
Do you know what that means? ”
"Is a new, more potential, and more dangerous star being born? Perhaps I should call this group the perfect combination of the Stars and the Conquerors?
Sounds so cool! Can I get a ticket? ”
Zakang grinned, spat out the smoke ring, didn't care about this hellish state of affairs, he spread his hands, and said:
"This is the fourth round of impact, Captain, in the world that can survive until now, apart from those well-protected garden worlds, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp?
I would be surprised if they couldn't develop such technology. ”
"The Lords of Justice have seen Mason."
The second bucket next to him was holding Alice's war knife, and said sadly:
"They're able to have that kind of technology that means they've mastered the technology to lock on to the plane, and maybe through some of Mason's features, they'll be able to lock on to the Gotham world and invade there.
This is indeed a dangerous state of affairs.
But I believe we can prevent the worst. ”
"It seems that even you think that our Lord Mason is capable of anything, which is a pity."
Zakang grumbled and said:
"Just go on vacation to the medieval world and end up fighting hard, this is not the career path I set for myself when I was young, alas, I can only say that I am on the wrong thief ship.
So my mighty captain, what are you going to ask poor Konstantin to do for you? ”
"Just keep your mouth shut, I don't want anything else."
Mason replied very viciously, and told the second bucket:
"Barbara brought back a bunch of rookies of the Conquerors who I rebelled against, you go talk to them and rearm them, and lead them until Emilia makes a move, and they will lead the way into the Conqueror's base."
"I'm fine!"
The second bucket asked neatly:
"But what about the mode of action? Destroy? Or is it captured alive? I see you're interested in these mutant clones. ”
"The first warning shot, and if you resist, you will be killed."
Mason took off his coat, moved his fingers and said:
"We're not here to do charity!
My interest in them doesn't mean they have some kind of privilege, because it's a mutant business, so I applied for Utopia's aid, and an Alpha Sentinel Commando will join when the war starts.
Barbara will command them and cooperate with you.
As for you, John, you and Charles will follow Amilia. I'm here in person from the lord world, so you don't have to participate, lest you be taken hostage by those lords.
Those guys are absolute pragmatists, and I'm sure they can do that. ”
"Got it."
The second bucket was very satisfied with this order, and turned to leave with his war knife on his shoulder, and he was not opposed to staying in this low-intensity world and waiting for the opportunity to blow up the conqueror's military station in this world.
But before leaving, the guy whispered:
"Can you handle them alone? My advice is whether or not to prepare a hole card or something. ”
"Am I not preparing?"
Mason pointed to the four jars in front of him, the members of the Lightning Family were suspended in a rather comical posture, he rubbed his chin to look at them, and said to Zakang:
"How's your mirror dimension training?"
"It's absolutely fine to fish you out at a critical moment."
Sao Nan smiled and left the room with his hands behind his back, leaving room for conversation to the four members of Mason and the Lightning family.
After the door closed, the Captain activated an engineering workbench and then removed the "fish tank" he had been given as the "Star Swallower".
The purple light inside shone into a crystal-like luster, which was the posture of Uncle Swallow's cosmic energy after it was highly polymerized.
Mason stared at the mass of energy, then took one last look at the drawings with the help of a Morbius chair, and then pulled out a specialized device designed to gather and extract energy.
As he began to get busy, he snapped his fingers to disable the operation of the four time standstill pods, and the moment the thick glass was opened at the same time, three figures pounced on Mason, apparently trying to capture him.
But Mason just didn't see it.
His busy movements didn't get out of shape in the slightest, and just seconds before the three Speeders attacked Mason, Wally West rushed over and pushed his family and friends out.
The Flash leader stood in front of Mason with his arms outstretched, and scolded the three companions in front of him:
"Stop! Don't go near him! ”
"Wally!"
Free Beauty Jesse's eyes widened, and she scolded:
"Are you crazy? Or have you been brainwashed? That guy attacked us, he's a dangerous badass! ”
White Wally's daughter Iris Jr. and his cousin Black Wally also looked at him with puzzled expressions, but Wally was sober, and as the successor of Barry Allen after his death, he had learned to judge the situation under the constant teaching of the gray bat.
He said to his family and companions very seriously:
"I'm not crazy, I'm not protecting him, I'm protecting you!"
"He's right, girls, boys, listen to Wally."
Mason manipulated the special material probe to enter the star-swallowing energy, maintaining accurate energy absorption, and explained without raising his head:
"I'm doing a very dangerous engineering operation to make a little bit of a self-defense weapon for myself, and this cosmic energy in my hands is very unstable.
When disturbed by an external force such as the Speed Force, it has a high chance of exploding. ”
"To be precise, the probability of explosion is 13.75%, which is not very high."
The "mech" of Morbius, who was hovering beside Mason, explained in a calm tone:
"But given the destructive power of the Star-Swallowing Energy, once an explosion is triggered, you and the world beneath your feet will turn into the humblest of stardust in a ten-thousandth of a second.
But rather than being killed, you should be more worried about the consequences of being 'melted' when you get close to the Star-Swallowing Energy, and if Mr. Wally had stopped you 7 milliseconds late, you should have met your family in black and white by now.
The universe is full of dangerous forces that you do not understand, Speedy Ones, and the advice you can give to this is not to act rashly.
My First Rider has nine ways to kill you, even without wearing the Speed Force Armor! ”
"You can try!"
Little Iris, a little ponytail girl with flying goggles, snorted dissatisfiedly, but under her father's glare, she obediently kept her mouth shut.
Wally West turned around and looked at Mason, who was unmoved behind him.
He said:
"I listened to all the conversations you had with Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, and you made me hear it on purpose, right? You want to create a unique collaboration with the Lightning Family?
In what way? ”
"Morbius!"
Mason commanded.
His very intelligent chair with his own unique personality immediately pops up a document and projects it in the form of an interactive optical projection in front of Wally West's eyes.
The Speedy was very quick to read things, and in the blink of an eye, Wally read the contents of the document and fell into shock.
"This Divine Speed Force Matrix is a miracle!"
He exclaimed:
"I never thought that the Speed Force could work in this way, and the model and advanced use of the cosmic treadmill you posted at the end, which is a device specifically designed for chronoteleportation!
Do you have a physical object in your hands? ”
"Yes!"
Mason glanced at him and said:
"But I can't use it for you now, after all, you are a member of the Righteous Lord, to put it bluntly, I don't trust you yet. But I know someone can convince you that I gave you a chronospatial coordinate at the end of the document.
Run towards it, you've got three days to go back and forth.
If you're late, you won't be able to catch up with what I'm going to do with the Lords of Justice. ”
"That means I'm going to have to travel through most of the parallel world system, and I'll have to hide from the conquerors."
Scratching his loose hair, Wally said:
"You can't let me run, I'll run, you've got to tell me there's something waiting for me, right?"
"And who would you most like to meet? And who led you down this path? ”
Mason glanced at him and said in a gentle tone:
"Don't you want to see your poor uncle, murdered by Luther, before he married your Aunt Iris? Don't you want to surprise him?
Our Barry Allen over there isn't as old as you, so he'll have to call you brother when we do. ”
"Cool!"
Wally West laughed and was immediately moved.
He wasn't really stupid enough to believe Mason's nonsense.
Mainly because he had just heard Mason talking to the Triumvirate of the Righteous Lords, he thought that if the Grey Bat was willing to give Mason a chance, then he could trust him for the past three days.
So he turned around and said a few words to his daughter and cousin, and told his friend Jesse Quicker to take care of the two children, and then turned around and opened the speed force channel and ran out towards the space-time coordinates of Osborne Tower given by Mason.
With Wally West gone, Mason's engineering gadgets were nearing completion.
His energy probe attached to a purple spot the size of a matchhead, and he opened the retro-style lighter he was carrying with him and placed it into a preset space.
A few seconds later, when Mason snapped the button on the lighter, the ignited flame turned an eerie purple.
"Cool."
Mason exclaimed, and lowered his head to light himself a cigarette with the thing.
When the first wisp of smoke rose, Jesse Kuaike, who was watching this scene, said in surprise:
"You put so much effort into it, and you used such dangerous cosmic energy, and as a result, you were as fierce as a tiger, and finally built yourself a lighter?
Well, it's a bit rude to ask that, but this gentleman, are you a psychic psychopath? ”
"No, I'm not, but my girlfriend is. Does this truth bother you? ”
Mason waved his hand and played with the lighter infused with the star-swallowing energy in his hand, and a large list of information labels followed the beating of the lighter at his fingertips:
Star-Swallower: Retro Lighter
Quality: Legendary engineering and perfect craftsmanship
Effect:
Press the lighter to produce a noble and flawless purple flame like Uncle Swallow, complete a classic and chic cigarette lighting action, and become the most beautiful boy in the crowd.
Or activate the star-swallowing energy contained in the lighter, and release it once or more in the direction of the lighter.
Warn!
This item is designed as the Ultimate Eraser, so its destructive power depends on the user's mental state, with a maximum of [Planet Smash] and a minimum of [Ignited Tobacco].
Warn!
The item's material is unable to withstand a one-time release of Star-Swallowing Energy, so at maximum destructive power, the item is considered a [Disposable].
Maker: Mason Cooper
Item Description: It's also known as "The Less Ultimate Eraser", and the fact that you have a supernatural talent in the counterfeit dealer business is a testament to the fact that you have a certain status, so maybe you should be given the nickname "The Garbage Guy and the King of Counterfeit Dealers"?
"Why does the little girl keep staring at me?"
Mason looked back at little Iris West with the goggles, and he smiled and said:
"Come and call my brother, give you candy, it's a taste you have never tasted."
"Mom said I shouldn't play with bad guys like you."
After Daddy left, little Iris was obviously a little timid and hid behind Aunt Jesse, and Black Wally, who was as strong as a calf, was not afraid, but he did not continue to provoke Mason.
The captain looked at the three speedy ones in front of him, he rolled his eyes, and changed his expression to a smiling expression, just like the strange Shu millet that tempted children to see goldfish.
He said:
"Wally will be back in three days, do you want to follow me to do something interesting?" Anyway, you can't go back to the lord world now, and if you're idle, you're idle. ”
"How do you know we're not going back?"
Jesse said unhappily:
"I can also open the speed force channel through the two planes!"
"Yes, you can, but your speed power is not the same as other speeders, it's a little secret belonging to the Quicker family, but unfortunately I know this as well as you do.
Dear Jesse, you're not 100% sure you'll be able to make it through the plane, so let's make a deal. ”
Mason turned the lighter between his fingers, snapped his fingers with his other hand, and said:
"Give me the speed formula left by your father, Johnny Quick, and I'll take you to do something that you reserve righteous lords have always wanted to do but have never been able to do.
By the way, I would like to express my position for the difficult lords of justice behind you, I think that the enemies you have may make us friends faster, just like the best way for new employees to integrate into the environment is to complain about the company's stupid system with the old birds.
I mean, if you're not busy, let's plan to slaughter a few conquerors, shall we? ”
