18. The secret to choosing a girlfriend is whether she can save you in a crisis

The Red Queen Madeleine in a defeated posture didn't know who she was asking for help, but the other party's response was swift.

Almost instantly, a strange beam of light appeared from outside time and space, and the streamer-like mechanical war spear roared from behind and slammed into Mason's shoulder.

The chief captain did not move.

Still holding the phoenix egg in his hand, it continued to compete with Madeleine for the power of the phoenix, but the near-invincible Cosmic Main Power Armor made a muffled click, causing Mason to frown.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the new guy has destroyed this set of power armor, but just because the temporarily modified armor has reached its limit.

But that doesn't disappoint.

To be honest, it was surprising enough that it could hold up for so long in the face of the bombardment of the Phoenix Power, which fully proved that although Engineer Mason is an abnormal bastard who has found himself an AI girlfriend and likes to drink antifreeze, his skills are really good.

"Click"

Madeleine's skull was broken again, and a tall figure jumped out of the light, wielding a hot molten sword embellished with the bones of the Zerg skull and slashing at the back of the power armor.

The sparks splashed but didn't leave a single scratch on the power armor.

Mason turned around and threw a burst of energy to knock the latter back, and at this moment he saw the face of the comer.

She is a tall woman wearing only hunting armor, but her strange body shape and "long hair" composed of black nerve bundles on the back of her head reveal her identity.

This. How is a Predator? What is her relationship with Madeleine?

Wait a minute!

Hunting insignia on her belt. Is this an Iron Empress?

"Stop her!"

Mason called for help, but he was no longer in need of command of the situation.

The lord super roared into the air, sending a sonic boom out of the attacker's ferocious knee, the latter seemed to be protected by the supernatural power of various kinds of magic, and fought with the big super several times in the air without winning or losing.

It seems that although the lord is strong, magic is still his weakness.

Seeing that they could not defeat the enemy, the supporters simply gave up the frontal battle and activated some special device instead, causing it to flicker and fall next to Madeleine, who had been resurrected but was still pinned down by the main force armor of the universe.

She naturally won't get entangled in saving people, but the way she saves people is also full of the fierceness and directness of the iron-blooded warriors.

The crisp ejection of the hunting wrist knife slashed past the neck of the Red Queen, who was choked by Mason, and the headless corpse that fell in the separation of flesh and blood took another hunting flash, accurately dodging Mason's fist smash and the tomahawk chopped by the Queen of Justice.

Its agility is not like that of mortals, and its every move is full of fierce and swift aura, like the deadliest hunter that can be found in a withered parallel world.

The phoenix fire burns, bringing Madeleine back to life.

But this time she learned to be obedient.

Hiding behind the tall figures of allies, he raised his hands to distort reality, no longer pursuing lethality and turning into infinite defense, resisting the attacks of Mason and the Righteous Lords, and teleporting the two out of the world without saying a word of cruelty.

Obviously, she was scared of being beaten by Brother Mason, and perhaps a delay in a word would make her return to the awkward part of family problems.

The King of the Seven Seas, awakened by the Black Lantern Ring, screamed and pounced, followed by Wally the Speedy, only to be rewarded with a sticky proton bomb and kicked back by the Iron Queen.

The dead King of the Seven Seas was not afraid of the explosion, and was reflexively sent out of the atmosphere by the Lord's super punch, and Mason also stepped forward to clasp the proton bomb on Wally's body with both hands and closed it tightly with both hands and armor.

There was a muffled thud.

An explosion that could wipe out a city erupted in the palm of the captain's hand, hurting no one while only emitting a bleak black smoke.

Beyond the night, a bright flame announced that the Black Lantern Man, the King of the Seven Seas, had died outside the atmosphere once again, but he soon reappeared in the physical world in the infusion of the Black Lantern Ring's death power.

"Click"

The magnetic field generated by the operation of the magnetic poles around the world is being exerted, and the lieutenant Magneto, who has only returned from the battlefield until now, bears the inspection axe of the Queen of Justice in a gesture of generosity to death.

He threw his final attack on Mason, all to cover his commander's escape, at the cost of his left arm being neatly chopped off by the Queen.

The Cosmic Main Power Armor itself is still not damaged, even if it fights with the power of the phoenix head-on, it is still intact.

This was a testament to its invincibility and lethal force, but its poor durability made it impossible to continue fighting in a shattered stance.

The flying X-metal component smashed into Mason's feet, as if it had stripped off the shell of a turtle, causing Mason to slip from his invincibility to his normal posture again.

"Spare him his life!"

Just as Diana swung her inspection axe to struck Magneto in the head, Mason, who had recovered the Time Gem, jumped up and grabbed her wrist and said:

"The battle is over, we've won, let him stay alive, I still have a lot to ask him."

It was a very dangerous move to face the righteous queen in combat and interfere with her battle, but this time the queen did not fight Mason again, but quickly calmed down.

Maybe it's because Mason has shown his toughness and strength just now, maybe it's because his child is still in Mason's hands, or maybe it's because the sincerity has been delivered, so that the relationship between the two sides has really begun to enter a benign one.

In short, the red-eyed Queen of Justice looked at Magneto, the adjutant on the ground who was waiting for death with her eyes closed, she spat a mouthful of bloody saliva, put her tomahawk in her hand, and said:

"Okay, in the name of today's big victory, I will give you a face."

The queen laughed heroically, leaned over and picked up Lao Wan's helmet and held it in her arms as a trophy, and as soon as Mason turned around, Harley and Quinn jumped up and hugged him.

Not as noisy and noisy as it used to be.

The two crazy girls were really scared, and just now, they almost lost their little sweethearts.

Mason stroked his girlfriends' hair, sensing their silent concern and then looked up into the distance, nodding to Ciri, who was standing under a tree in the darkness, wearing only pajamas and robes.

The hunter nodded.

The four eyes are facing each other, and everything is silent.

She let out a sigh of relief, turned and slashed out another streak of silver light and left the place.

As long as it's safe, let's talk about it slowly after the rest, Mason's heart is not calm at this time, and the image of the moment he was hit by the phoenix ruling keeps flashing back in his mind, making him can't help but think more.

Soon, the same question that Mephisto had asked him when they first met came to mind and made Mason realize.

The old devil had already given him a hint that the so-called standard of detachment was the only one in all worlds, and it was no longer bound by any past or future.

Existence is eternal.

Mason had obviously not yet reached that stage, and he was far from that point of view in every way, but without any space-time heterogeneous body, he had indeed achieved the uniqueness of the worlds.

Perhaps he was endowed with some kind of mysterious symbolism because of this.

"It seems that I am a miracle of no small significance."

The captain looked up at the calm sky.

He reached out and hugged Harley and Quinn in his arms, tonight was too exciting, and he desperately needed a break now.

However, what is the Red Queen Madeleine, who has been killed at least thirteen times tonight, her "good sister", what is she doing now?

——

"Huh"

Carried on the back of the rescuers she called, Madeleine crossed the sea of stars in the sonic boom tunnel and landed in the cabin of a rather strangely shaped alien ship.

It was deserted, except for self-running navigation devices and a whole wall of displays filled with various "trophies".

It is covered with various skulls.

From the bones and spines of normal humanoids, to the heads and claws of abnormal Zerg life, there are some special gadgets from different worlds.

This includes, but is not limited to, the blood-stained magic book, the shattered vibranium suit, the Hulk's fist and hand bones, and even a complete set of Edelman alloy skeletons, which at first glance are "gifts" from Uncle Wolf.

On the other side of the wall, there are weapons stocked with retro cold weapons, futuristic hot weapons, and even two authentic Falk guns are prominently displayed.

Finally, there is a mechanical storage cabinet for the armor, which houses three very different styles of women's armor.

A set of the most classic Iron-Blooded Hunter light armor, which is covered with traces of countless battles, has been completely destroyed and placed here for memorial significance.

But the other two sets are very unusual.

The dark green Empress Hunter's suit is heavy and ferocious, the skull of an extraordinary dragon is embellished with breastplates, the bone crown of the alien queen is molded into shoulder guards, and it is equipped with a variety of high-level weapons that allow users to easily complete the heavy task of planetary annihilation.

The third set of heavy armor was stored in a jar, like a symbiote suit, but this unique set took on a strange whiteness, as fierce and monstrous as its owner.

These things don't match each other in a chaotic style, but they all have one thing in common.

They were all collected by the ship's owner over the past countless years, and both the bones and the weapons are a profound interpretation of personal bravery and a supreme tribute to the hunting tradition.

The frail Madeleine was placed in a treatment device in the control chamber by the tall figure of the man, and with a rough movement, she pulled out the biological tube and connected the respirator and buckled it on the Red Queen's face, and then grabbed a silver syringe with her hideous scale-covered hand, put it on the pillow, and stabbed it towards Madeleine's wrist.

The whole set of movements was smooth and neat, and in just a few minutes, the red queen's pale face returned to blood.

After seeing his "best friend" rejuvenated, the tall hunter was relieved.

She grunted in an alien language like a roar, and reached out to remove the crimson iron-blooded hunting helmet that covered her head, revealing the white skull below and the braided bundle of biological nerves attached to the back of her head, and sat in front of the creature pod to gasp and calm her anger at defeat.

"Thanks to you this time."

Madeleine regained some of her strength, and with her mask on, she gasped and said to the Iron Empress who was resting beside her:

"I couldn't think of anyone who could save me, but you."

"Gollum"

The empress waved her hand without looking back, expressing in alien language that it was not a big deal.

After all, the two have been friends and best friends for a long time, and Madeleine has helped herself before, although as a noble Predator and Supreme Queen of Hunting, she only fell into a deadly trap and only took her last breath.

But in that case, she could fight back and didn't need help.

Of course, it is another story to use the power of Madeleine and the conqueror to make herself empress, and quickly complete the centralization of the iron-blooded civilization in this dim and disorderly era.

They are not just ordinary girlfriends, but also an alliance of interests.

Madeleine, of course, knew that her best friend was terrifying, but in fact a very stubborn but also very arrogant guy.

After the Empress checked her friend's health and made sure that Madeleine was recovering, she rolled her eyes and asked:

"Gollum? Coo-coo? (How did you get yourself into such a mess?) The mighty Red Queen was beaten as weak as a crying little girl? )”

There was a bit of sarcasm and ridicule in his words, but the Red Queen didn't care.

These serious Predators live very ascetic lives.

All their lives, they will only be interested in two things: battle and glory, and having an Iron Empress take the initiative to joke already means that the relationship between the two is indeed good.

She has very few friends.

The monster-like lady in front of her is considered one, and being able to rescue her in that situation just now also means that the friendship between the two is indeed life-threatening.

There is no need to hide your embarrassment in front of such friends.

Madeleine breathed in the strange-smelling Predator biorepair gas and said in a mute voice:

"I made a stupid mistake, I underestimated him, like I was confident about pinching a bug to death, only to find out in the end that I was challenging a dragon."

"Gollum Gurr! (I've made a similar mistake, but you escaped alive, and you still have a chance for revenge!) )”

The Empress sat down beside her friend with her sword, patted her on the shoulder in an iron-clad manner, and gave her a big sigh of comfort.

But Madeleine smiled wryly.

She felt the pain in her heart as she felt less than two-thirds of the phoenix fragments left in her body, Mason's wild phoenix had as much appetite as its guts.

I really lost my wife and soldiers this time.

However, the Red Queen knew that she could not show such a discouraged expression in front of the Iron Empress, or she would be disgusted, and these hunters were straightforward, and if they thought you were a coward, all the previous friendships would be gone.

And now the first sequence of the conqueror and the eighth sequence of the conqueror where the Predator is located are a cooperative relationship, and the union of the two sides is based on strength.

Once the Predator finds out that she is not as powerful as before, the collaboration will probably fall through.

Madeleine knows that although her best friend is tsundere, she does put the interests of the community first.

So the Red Queen rolled her eyes and decided to adopt the traditional tactics of the fox, preparing to use Mason's victory to cover up her defeat and skillfully combine the two.

She sighed and said:

"Alas, my brother is as brave and wise as the legend says, and I would have tried to convince him to join our plan, but he clearly has his own plans."

"Gollum? Grunt? Cuckoo? (The one who defeated you was your brother?) Biological? Aren't you a clone? )”

The empress opened her mouth in astonishment, proving that it is the nature of all female creatures to love gossip.

She stared at the Red Queen with her cold, piercing gaze, while Madeleine popped out her Project X ID card and whispered Mason's relationship with her without reservation.

At last, she got up and leaned on the Empress's strong shoulders, and said:

"Yes, that's my family, it's part of our big family, and although there are some philosophical differences between me and him, he has acknowledged my existence.

He also told me that he would do something in this shock.

So my advice is that we don't act rashly during this time, my friend.

You also saw that my brother's charisma and the power he possessed, the power of the phoenix was no match for him, and he was recruiting troops in that lord world.

If

I mean, if he can really make a difference, maybe at that time, your people and my people will have another choice but to give it a go and seize power.

I know you worship the strong.

You once thought I was a strong man and wanted to be friends with me, and now my dear brother has proved that he is better and better than me, so we should all choose our allies sensibly in order to hope for a more brilliant victory, shouldn't we? ”

"Gollum."

The Empress nodded.

She still understood this simple truth, and the contempt for Madeleine's defeat before was also carefully hidden by her, but then, the empress lowered her voice and asked:

"Gollum? Grunt. (Will your awesome brother be part of our next mission?) That's for mutants, after all, and he's one of them. )”

"He doesn't know yet, and I'm not going to let him know now, that the good cards have to be saved for the end."

The Red Queen leaned into her best friend's arms.

She reached out and stroked the empress's black nerve bundle decorated with bones, narrowed her eyes and whispered:

"But maybe we should give him some proper information at some point, I hate utopia, but if I can take this opportunity to repair the 'brother-sister relationship', it's not that I can't let those guys have a way out.

Although, they have hurt us deeply

But if in the name of the future, those unpleasant pasts can also be forgotten. ”
