The fourth shock has a 7-hour countdown.

"Planetary Magnetic Field Generators 1 to 6, final detection!"

At the communications room headquarters in Osborne Tower, Mason stands in front of a large screen that connects all the worlds of the Resistance League at the same time, holding a planner to confirm the final steps.

"Generator No. 1 is operating normally and has entered the warm-up."

Cyborg in Gotham was the first to send back a message.

This was followed by the Isu World, the Aegis World, the Lord World, and the Vampire World, plus the Sixth that had begun to activate under the Osborne Tower, and all the devices were in the warm-up phase.

"Very good, the next step is the Aurora Device Signal Transmission Tower 1 to 6, and the final detection."

Mason flipped to the next page, and the same reply rang out again.

The improved devices have been officially launched, and the windows of the communications room can be seen activating the towering array of towers on the periphery, and the launch vehicle carrying 480 golden apples will be launched into Earth orbit and begin the final deployment of the Aurora device, fully automatic and without human interference.

An hour later, the power that once protected the Isu world will once again manifest its magic at the moment of the impact.

"Divine Speed Force Matrix 1 to 6, final detection."

Mason asked again.

This time, it was the Speedsters who answered, including the five members of the Lightning Family and Flash, who had been assigned to each world and had entered the "Labyrinth of Time" in place.

In addition to these six speeders, there are also "substitutes" sent here by the forces of the gods, and the three speeds of Hermes, Horus, and Mercury, are also warming up and ready to be replaced at any time.

"The Shenyu server backs up the host and the brainwave upload device 1 to 6, and the final detection."

Mason asked.

Barbara, who had already sat on the mechanical throne in the main control room and was connected to the main server of the Shrine in the Vault Dweller, replied in a deep voice:

"The network is smooth, the backup server responds clearly, the main server filters the firewall is activated, and the awareness data upload module is loaded, waiting for the upload instruction.

Attention the world, I will emphasize one last time!

Bio-consciousness uploading is the last insurance, and once the global brainwave uploading process is activated, it cannot be reversed.

The command can only be activated if it has been determined that the situation has deteriorated irreversibly, that all other means have failed, and that even the Speed Force Matrix has proven ineffective in cutting the timeline. ”

"Don't worry about incorrect instructions."

Mason folded the planner in his hand, took one last look at it, and casually dropped it on the table behind him.

He said to Barbara in a separate correspondence:

"The six worlds of creature consciousness upload instructions must be approved by me before they can enter the final execution stage, you stay safe there, Barbara.

Although the spaceship has dived into the dimensional rift at this time, there is no guarantee that there will be no direct attack on the main server, and the afterlife team has arranged to enter the spacecraft to do defensive work.

If you can't do anything at the last minute, remember to eject and escape in time. ”

"No!"

The bat girl stubbornly said:

"I will remain here until I see six new worlds appear before me, so many people have sacrificed so much for this plan, and your people are still bleeding for that common goal.

It's too much of a burden.

I wouldn't leave my brother to bear all of this alone. ”

"Neither will we, two cuties."

Selena's voice suddenly appeared in Mason and Barbara's private communication, which made Mason suddenly turn around, and saw all the members of Team K 1.0 in the door pushed open behind him.

"You should go back to Wayne Manor."

Mason rubbed his eyebrows, sighed and said:

"If something happens to you now, the master is probably going to strangle me, believe me, Damian will never miss the opportunity to give me a knife."

"I'm not as fragile as you think."

Catwoman-sama touched her belly, which was still very flat, and grinned:

"But my little brother needs my support more than the old man who has eaten me all the way to the end of the challenge.

I don't want to miss it. ”

"No one wants to miss it!"

Hallie rushed in, grabbed Mason's waist, and rubbed her head against her chest.

She whispered:

"I will celebrate with Mr. K, give a kiss of victory, or stick together and turn into the last stardust in the dark universe, I will not leave you, and you will not try to drive me away."

"How could I get rid of my little cutie? I'm used to the two of you arguing around me, and I'm bored when it's gone. ”

Mason touched Harley's head and reached out to grab Quinn beside him, he took a deep breath and looked behind him at the countdown to 6 hours and 59 minutes.

He let out a sigh of relief and said:

"So, guys, let's roar into this good night."

"Wait, don't rant, Mason, I've found some strange 'friends' on the outskirts of the Osborne Tower Wasteland!"

Old Peter suddenly called out over the communication system:

"In the valley next to the Forbidden Forest, they had made a terrible forced landing on a battered migrant ship, falling out of the purple eyes of the sky five minutes earlier."

"Not our people?"

The old green goblin, who was also in charge of the defense of the world of Osborne Tower, was stunned for a moment, and then replied coldly:

"Then leave them alone! The Amazons will put them in jail, and now making sure the fourth shock survives safely is the number one priority. ”

"But they asked to see Mason by name!"

The old spider explained:

"Gwen and I got people out of it, a bunch of mutants, all of them wounded and in need of medical attention, and they claim to be from utopia!

They said that the situation over there had collapsed, and that they had come here specifically to find Mason's help. ”

"Utopia?"

Mason, who heard Old Peter's report, immediately blinked, and then said to the other side:

"Bring them back to the treatment area, I'll be waiting for you there."

"I smell trouble."

Catwoman made a sniffing motion, and she crossed her arms and said to Mason:

"Your fellows are really going to pick the time to do this kind of thing when they are on the doorstep. But I've also heard about the style of these guys, and they will definitely not be able to hold it before they will come to you.

Let's go over and see what's going on. ”

"I've always known what kind of trouble they're going through and I'm prepared for it."

Mason clicked on his watch a few times, activated two specially programmed collective signals, and then turned to the others next to him and said:

"Don't worry, these things won't interfere with the preparation and execution of the fourth impact, I'll go to the Star Castle to talk to the swordsman about this first, and I'll be back in a while."

Minutes later, the utopian mutant discovered by Spider-Man was taken to a medical station beneath Osborne's Tower.

The old Green Goblin, who was waiting here in armor, glanced at the place where the mutants were housed with a blank face, and then noticed that Spider-Man's report was a little "slightly off" from reality.

It's not as simple as these guys getting hurt.

They're all hanging up!

And the injuries weren't caused by the fall, they were already seriously injured before they slipped through the Eye of Time and Space, and if it weren't for the emergency life-support devices on that ship, these guys would have died a few more to help the situation in front of them.

"I am the steward of this world, Mason's close comrade-in-arms, and he is gathering men to intervene in the troublesome matters that you will bring.

So just tell me what you want to say to him. ”

The Green Goblin stood next to Cyclops, who was being cleaned and bandaged by several android healers, who was miserable and had lost one eye.

After hearing Norman's self-introduction, the weak Cyclops immediately replied:

"We need help, the conquerors of the first and eighth sequences have invaded Utopia proper, the god Monarch Doom is pumping our world, and the X royal family is still resisting.

But we can't do it anymore. ”

"I am very sympathetic to what happened to you, but the truth is that we can't send more forces into another war now."

Without much hesitation, the Green Goblin refused:

"The fourth shock is coming, and it is enough for everyone to come together to protect themselves, and this world integration project is a gift from you, and you know very well how much human and material resources it will take to carry it out in several worlds at once.

So while I'm sorry, we can't help. ”

"Nope! It's not for you to join the war, we don't have that idea. ”

Cyclops explained with difficulty:

"There are still a large number of civilians over there who have not had time to be sent out, and you have a large-scale chronoteleportation method without the Council's involvement, and you only need to send a detachment to get our people out before Utopia is completely destroyed.

This is the only request we have made to break through so far. ”

"The space-time teleportation of the cosmic treadmill is an important tool to ensure the interconnection of the forces of various worlds, and handing it over to you means that Osborne Tower will be temporarily cut off from contact with other worlds."

Norman still shook his head and said:

"We can't take that risk."

Hearing this continuous refusal, Cyclophalo's raised hand hung down weakly, they didn't know that Mason was contacting the others, but the Green Goblin who came forward on Mason's behalf was not accommodating in the slightest.

The implication is obvious.

The other awake X-royal mutants in the room also fell silent.

"Rest well, you can be sure of your safety here, but the rest may have to wait until the impact is over."

Norman threw down a word and turned away.

But when he walked out of the room, he saw Mason coming from the front, and the old green devil stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a blank face:

"Don't go in, I've turned them away for you. Once you are allowed to come into contact with them, it means that you will definitely be involved in a situation that has nothing to do with you at this point in time.

You just like to do this kind of useless work.

But please look at the current situation!

With just over six hours left before the onslaught begins, we're your allies.

We need you to stay here and preside over the big picture now! Instead of following a group of defeated soldiers to a hopeless world to show your conscience that has nowhere to rest.

The fate of so many worlds weighs on your shoulders, and you are still in the mood to run and fight for some of your compatriots who don't treat you as your own at all. You'll have to check if you're not focused enough, Mason. ”

"Everything is going according to plan, Norman."

The captain sighed, he could understand the source of the old green goblin's anger in front of him, and he didn't intend to explain anything, but said softly:

"We're designing a system, we're forming a coalition, and we're trying to try a model that can be reused rather than pinning everything on a single savior.

We don't need that kind of unrepeatable miracle.

Norman, what is needed in this age is not a savior like me.

What it needs is the method.

And we've got our solution.

The role I can play by staying here is also to act as a member of the rapid response mechanism, I am just a craftsman, and everything I can do has been done in the preliminary preparations.

This is a project that we have designed and advanced together, and everyone in this tower, everyone in every world of the Resistance Alliance, is involved, and it is not a miracle that belongs to me alone.

You should have a little confidence in yourself and a little bit in your peers.

If I have to turn the tide at the end of the day, it will prove that everything we have done in the past few months has failed

How can you, Your Majesty, who claims to conquer the universe in a new era, pin everything on a young man who is old enough to be your son? ”

"Don't prevaricate me with this kind of! You know what I mean! ”

Old Norman stared at Mason viciously, and he pointed to his chest, and said:

"You can't do two things at the same time!

You can't focus on saving both groups at the same time, but I already know from the stupid glint in your eyes that you're determined to wade through the troubled waters.

I've known you for so long, and I also know that no one can convince you to change the decision you've made, so, good! We have supported you in the past, and we will fully support you.

I also don't know how long it will take to save a world, but I'll only give you six hours. ”

"I'm not going to use the forces that are already in my role, and I've been prepared for it when I had a premonition that something would happen to Utopia."

Mason Says:

"Utopia has given us support, although the two sides are not very close, but they are also one of our friends in this era, and we can't die without help."

"To me they're just a bunch of strangers."

Old Norman glanced at Mason and said:

"There's still a lot of trouble in six hours, save some energy, young man."

After saying that, this guy turned around and left, just in time to pass by the swordsman who came with a group of mutant pioneers, and all the mutant members in the Star Society were brought by her.

Further outer, there are several commanders of the newly formed K-Men, but the two sides are clearly distinguished, as if there is an invisible line stuck there.

"You said to go back to Utopia to save people, then I am willing."

The swordsman babbled:

"But what are you doing with this bunch of pure rookies? We also distracted ourselves to take care of them. ”

"They're not going to be rookies all the time, and you're just busy with just that, aren't they? According to Cyclopax, the number of civilians stranded in the Utopian war zone is a terrifying number. ”

Mason didn't care about the swordsman's upset, he said:

"The Doomsday Legion commanded by Luthor will also be with you, they will be responsible for storming the fortification, you are only responsible for saving people, the World Gate is forbidden to be used there, and the chrono teleportation of the cosmic treadmill also needs to be recharged.

This time is a tight schedule and a heavy task, so I hope you are mentally prepared. ”

"What about the first sequence of the conquerors?"

Miss Anna next to her asked:

"That's your mother's family, Mason, it's embarrassing for you to get involved in the war between them and Utopia, what are you going to do with them?"

"What mother-in-law's? It's all at this time, so don't hold on to this stupid portal and can't let go. ”

The captain shook his head and said:

"If they don't come to their senses, they are our enemies! As for what to do with them, I know in my heart. ”

"Where's Madeleine?"

The White Queen in the crowd suddenly asked, she had put on the new suit Mason had made for her, and it seemed that she was also planning to participate in the Utopia rescue battle.

She looked at her son and asked:

"What if Madeleine thwarts you again?"

"She escaped from me once."

Mason pushed the frame and said to his mother:

"I don't think she'll have a second chance, so the advice I can give her is to hope she's sensible this time, and if she continues to spill, I'll probably have to go to a family funeral.

I know what you want to do, stay here!

Don't go! ”

Emma immediately wanted to refute, and by the way, she scolded her son for daring to speak to his mother like this when he grew up, but when she saw Mason's stern expression, the perverse White Queen hesitated, and finally didn't dare to disobey the captain.

It's not that she's afraid, it's just that she's not willing to give up her relationship with Mason for the sake of another masked person.

"You might be able to talk."

Emma whispered, and Mason nodded:

"Talk, as long as she wants."
