"Are we sure we're going to do that? I always feel that their decision-making speed is a little too fast, especially when it comes to the survival of a civilization.

Shouldn't we have a meeting to discuss it first? ”

In the main control room of the Vault Dweller's spaceship, Barbara, who had returned from the conceptual plane of the metal spirit, sat on a Mobius chair and rubbed her forehead, and said to Mason, who was going through the "handover procedures" with Ms. Ott in front of her, with a suspicious expression:

"I didn't notice it until now, but when I returned to the physical world, I confirmed that there was always a force that interfered with my mind while we were in that conceptual plane.

This was by no means a miscalculation on my part!

The Möbius chair also records that change in energy.

The metal spirits interfere with our judgment in its realm, and we are all living beings, and Buttermos is more likely to be interfered with these data lives.

We should be more cautious, maybe it's the right thing to do to suspend the data consciousness shift in the world of Divine Opinion first? ”

"The idea is good, and the reasons are very well-documented, but they have all stayed there to become the spokesmen of the metal spirits, and now they have chosen to suspend the operation and not bring them back."

Mason shook his head and said:

"And if you carefully sort out the process of this matter, it is not difficult to find that even if there is no interference and inducement of data consciousness by the metal spirit, our data god will most likely make the same choice.

We have seen the conceptual plane of metal, machine, and data with our own eyes, and its instinct to grow and transform cannot be falsified, as Buttermoss says, the combination of the world of gods and the spirit of metal may not make things better, but it will never be worse.

And his bizarre 'World Egg' theory does have merit, and I began to look forward to the miracle that will be born when the Mikoshi civilization merges with the metal spirit. ”

"Miss Barbara need not be so worried, for in my presence, Mr. Mason is unable to give the rather utilitarian part of this decision.

But I can explain it for you. ”

Ott Cunningham, who was transferring the rights of the Mikido World Combatant Database, said in a calm tone:

"While I didn't enter the conceptual plane of metal with Bartmoss, nor did I see the rudiments of the future kingdom of the Mechanical God that he longed to come into, one thing is confirmed so far.

That is, the metal spirit is the power of the root of the Gotham world, and its existence is bound to the Gotham world.

The current transfer of consciousness data from the world of Divine Opinion to the conceptual plane means that we are permanently tied to our own existence and your world.

If you die in the shock, it means that our future will be ruined.

This also means that Buttermoss has abandoned his plan to survive the change of epochs in the form of data, perhaps after gathering more information, he has once again deduced the future situation and arrived at a pessimistic conclusion. ”

The data god's most trusted secretary and assistant shook his head.

She took a silver-gray plug-in from the console in the main control room, which resembled a USB flash drive ID card, handed it to Mason, and said:

"The 'War Pact' personally authorized by Bartmos, with which you can unlock all of the Mikosh Forces, including the Terrorist Task Force and the Corporate Corps, in any world with a database and basic network.

There's no limit to how many you can unlock, and as long as you have enough resources, you can even fill the world with prosthetics.

Of course, their data downloads require combat carriers, so you'd better carry at least one set of android production lines with you.

I know it's hard for you. ”

"So I'm now the Overseer or Commander of the Mikoshi Legion?"

Mason tossed the war agreement in his hand up and down, and asked:

"This downloadable consciousness data package doesn't include a legendary mercenary like V?"

"It's all the armed forces, Mr. Mason."

Ms. Ott emphasized:

"They're in it, of course, but they have the subject moving freely now, so if you really need it, you'll have to use a data copy program.

There is a certain danger to this procedure.

Especially in the case of not having time to recover and destroy the backup consciousness after the war, it is easy to cause the individual to lose control, and the higher the degree of intelligence, the more likely this problem will occur in the consciousness data. ”

"I see."

Mason nodded solemnly, but then he blinked again and asked:

"In other words, if I have unlocked the highest level of unlocking privileges, I can also create a female V with completely independent consciousness and all the combat experience and skills of V as long as I want?"

"Well, theoretically."

The Captain's thought silenced Lady Ott, who hesitated for several seconds before speaking:

"But I really don't recommend you to do this, V's personal feelings are on the one hand, gender and ethics are on the other hand, and besides, combat effectiveness has little to do with gender, right?"

"It's not big, but I just want a female V to be a bodyguard. Ha, it's purely personal entertainment. ”

With a strange expression, Mason waved his hand at Ott and said:

"Keep this a secret. Also, Did I give Johnny that stupid rat charm last time? Why didn't he come out and point at my nose and scold me?

Are you afraid of being repaired by me? ”

"Johnny is on a mission."

Ms. Ott, who was at work, said rationally and calmly:

"He's in charge of setting up and debugging the backup server in the Isu world, but he does plan to do a World Reincarnation concert of the Warrior Band, just after we survive the shock."

"Okay, I'll buy a few more tickets to support my dear foolish silverhand."

Mason laughed and glanced at the empty main control room, and he asked:

"Batmoss is going to stay in the conceptual world of the metal spirit for a long time, will it be difficult for you to control this ship alone? Need I send someone to help you? ”

"I've never been alone, Mr. Mason."

Ott raised his finger, and the dormant robots in the entire main control room were awakened by Qi Brush, and the dark-haired girl like the Queen of Machines had a dark blue circle of light floating in her eyes, and she whispered:

"This ship is self-defending, and in fact, it's much safer for me to stay here than to stay anywhere else.

According to Buttermoth's radical data migration schedule, I had to send 80% of my Divine Consciousness into the metal spirit plane in three days as a labor force to weave the world.

I'm going to be busy next. ”

"I understand, I'm leaving, don't disturb your work."

Mason nodded, he glanced at Barbara next to him, and said:

"I left my sister here to be your assistant? With the help of the Mobius chair, she will be able to help you a lot. ”

"By the way, can you learn more hacker combat techniques from me?"

Ott immediately saw through Mason's plan, but instead of refusing, she delegated the assistant authority to Barbara, and at the same time gave her an intense work plan.

The bat girl's face suddenly became bitter.

After Mason left humming a song, she cautiously said to Ott:

"That. Ma'am, can I take a few hours off? I didn't mean to slip away, and I promise I'll work extra hard when I get back, but I'm"

"There's a beloved man waiting for you?"

Ott Cunningham glanced at the embarrassed Barbara, who sat in the mechanical chair and nodded, saying:

"A candlelit dinner awaits me, and a temporary goodbye that I have to tell in person, and my wicked brother just deliberately wants to see me laugh."

"Okay, give you an hour."

Lady Ott nodded, and when she saw Barbara's expression, the cold mechanical lady suddenly showed a fleeting smile, coughed again, and said:

"An hour isn't enough, huh? That gives you three hours. But today's job must be completed by the deadline, which means you'll have to work overtime when you get back.

Proper relaxation is good for your physical and mental health, but overindulgence can consume your precious time, go for it, girl. ”

"Thank you."

Barbara let out a sigh of relief, then activated the teleportation function of the Möbius chair and sent herself back to Gotham to continue tonight's date with the hip-butted boy.

Ott hesitated for a moment, then pulled out the rat charm given by Mason and placed it in the groove of her prosthesis, and a few seconds later, she dialed Johnny Silverhand's communication.

"Ten minutes for you!"

The powerful data life, while setting up the autopilot program for the Vault Dweller spaceship, said to Johnny with great force:

"I want a mechanical candlelit dinner"

——

"Woohoo, eat so much."

In Osborne, Mason returns from the Gate of the World with his two girlfriends in tow.

Harley, dressed in a flamboyant manner, rubbed her flat stomach and enjoyed it, while Quinn hugged her sweetheart's arm and reminisced about the romantic threesome date before.

Although they don't know why Mr. K, who has always been in a moodless mood, suddenly prepared such a sultry candlelit dinner today, they both enjoyed the sudden surprise.

"I didn't know you liked that playground so much."

Mason whispered:

"Is the Ferris wheel that fun? Shouting all the way. ”

"It's not about what to play, it's about who you're playing with."

Harley tilted her little head and rubbed Mason's shoulder, and she closed her eyes and whispered:

"If it's with the little sweetheart, even if you sleep in the bridge cave tonight, you'll be very happy, but it's a pity that you have to go to the headquarters on duty later, or Quinn and I can surprise you tonight."

"I don't need surprises, there are enough surprises on the Ferris wheel."

Mason complained:

"At that time, I was afraid that the two of you would shake that place apart, rest for a while and then go to duty, although it is unlikely that there will be an emergency for the K Legion to suddenly dispatch, but everyone has work to do, and it is really not good to be blatantly lazy now."

"Got it."

Hallie stood on tiptoe and kissed Mason on the cheek, then noisily walked to their room with Quinn.

Mason walked to the window of the break room to blow the wind, allowing himself to return from a relaxed state to a working form, and even Harley and Quinn were assigned to be on daily duty, knowing that all members of Team K were now running at full capacity.

The installation and detection of equipment in various worlds, the allocation and distribution of materials, and all kinds of cumbersome situations occupy all their energy.

The Captains feel like they're like a miniature Swarm or Council of Hope now, and when the sheer management responsibilities have replaced the day-to-day of fighting and pioneering, the pressure to keep a system running is no longer as easy as it used to be.

"It's easy to fight the country, but it's hard to defend the country."

Mason sighed with emotion, glad that he still had talents in his camp like the Old Green Goblin and the company dogs of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the world of Shenyu, otherwise it would really be impossible to maintain the current situation of all parties by relying on the K-team alone.

It also made him realize that he was really not fit to be an all-encompassing manager or ruler, and it seemed that he had set himself the right goal in life.

He is only responsible for ending the dark age in front of him, and as for the future power, love whoever he wants.

I will never suffer from that.

"Subject! Come to the Alchemy Laboratory! ”

Just as Mason stretched his body and prepared to return to work, a call from the alchemist Mason sounded in his heart, making the captain's heart move, and then rushed to the alchemy laboratory as fast as he could.

Sending out this communication at this point in time made Mason realize that the great work that had been advancing in the field of alchemy had finally reached its final stage.

As he expected, when he entered the alchemy laboratory, Mason saw at a glance the mother of all things who was emitting billowing black smoke, as well as the three alchemists who were scrambling around.

The two Elric brothers maintained the alchemy formation on the left and the right, while the alchemist Mason kept throwing blood-red weak magic stones into the already boiling alchemy dome.

This precious alchemical artifact is used as an inexpensive stabilizer to ensure the smooth completion of the alchemy process, which has already reached the last step.

But now it seems that the situation is getting a little out of control.

"Come and help!"

Mason, the black-faced alchemist, shouted to the subject:

"The refining of the Nine Turns Sentinel Jin Dan has reached the final stage, but this energy reaction is a little out of control, and the Mother of All Things is a little unbearable.

Heating!

Keep heating and let it melt, fast! Otherwise, it will explode. ”

"What a broken name this is! The style of painting is not right, bastard, shouldn't it be called concentrated sentinel serum? ”

Mason took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped forward quickly.

He propped his hands on top of the hot Mother Ding of All Things, invoked the energy given by the Isu bloodline after reaching the full level, ingested the chaotic energy that was constantly spewing out of the Mother Ding in his hands, and burned through the transformation of magic fire to make flames grow under the Mother Ding.

"Keep heating up!"

Edward, who was manipulating the formation of the formation, shouted:

"Crystals are being generated, I see it! Quick, high heat to collect the juice! ”

"Boom"

A larger demonic fire was inflicted around the Mother Ding, and as Mason watched in horror, he saw a crack burst out at the edge of the Mother Ding, and a piercing cracking sound that was clearly audible in the chaos.

"You'll have to be prepared to compensate the family when that's done, Mason."

Alphonse whispered:

"Regardless of whether the alchemy succeeds or not, this baby mother will definitely not be able to keep it, to be honest, this is the most expensive refining that my brother and I have ever carried out before our debut. Wait!

Stop it!

It's going to blow up! ”

"Can't stop!!"

Alchemist Mason screamed.

In the next moment, a terrifying energy erupted from the Mother of All Things, completely destroying the alchemy artifact and blowing all four people in the laboratory away.

The release of the aftermath of the reality-bending energy shattered all the vessels in the alchemy lab, and shattered the ground and walls like a small nuclear bomb.

It even interfered with the stability of Osborne's Tower, causing the entire tower to shake violently.

The Alchemist Mason and the main Mason were the closest, and of course they were blown apart, but the advantage of the water man was once again revealed, and the two guys quickly reconstituted themselves with water bodies in a mess.

Unable to reconstruct his body, the Elric brothers fell into bad luck, and his brother was knocked unconscious, and his head was broken and bleeding.

The younger brother was even more miserable, and when he exploded, he stood in front of his elder brother and caused his expensive prosthesis to shatter completely, like the tragic scene of a cyber dismemberment incident.

"Leave us alone, we're all fine!"

Alphonse's head cried out on the ground:

"Go and see the serum crystals."

"The crystallization is fine, I found it."

The voice of the alchemist Mason rang out from the scene of the calamity billowing black smoke.

When Mason picked up Alphons's head, the fairy-faced alchemist Mason appeared in front of the two of them with an irregular brilliant crystal in his hands.

He excitedly lifted the thing that nearly destroyed the entire tower in the air, as if he were holding a championship trophy.

And Mason's main body obviously understood the reason why the alchemist was so excited, because at the moment of the explosion just now, he saw a prompt flashing in front of his eyes:

Successfully completed a Legendary Quality: Immortal Craft Alchemy Creation Craft, and the Alchemy Branch Skill has been improved, currently at Lv8+2!

Alchemy is also at full level!

Oh yes!
