18. The essence of the victory that Mason desires is to be fast, and the faster the happier
In the face of Mason's proposal to start a two-front battle at the same time, the congregation exchanged glances and no one objected.
On the one hand, it is because Mason is very clear and convincing in his decision-making process and reasons, and on the other hand, because of the trust that people have always placed in him.
Not to mention anything else, you see that the captain has staked his little wife's life in this operation, which is obviously a completely open performance.
He, a man like him who is known for his sanity and affection in several worlds, has already done this, so what is there for others to hesitate about?
"Since there is no objection, let's take a look at the scene that your assault team is going to face."
Mason activated the confidentiality agreement on his watch, and after the empowerment was completed, many secret information about the 2149 plane was uploaded to the projection device on the table in front of him.
A large number of photos and videos were projected into the air in front of them, and there was also a three-minute live action shooting, showing the situation of the earth on the zombie plane in a very terrifying way.
Corpse!
There were moving corpses everywhere.
Although he couldn't experience it himself, the coldness and grotesqueness of the entire world completely swallowed by the power of death even made Lord Chao move his shoulders a little uncomfortably.
"Lady Janet has readjusted the final point where the quantum tunnel can communicate between the two planes in the microcosm, so that after your flanking operation begins, you will be sent directly to Earth in Universe 2149.
Our friend over there, John Stewart, the helmsman of the Black Lantern Legion, has gained temporary control of Earth's extreme subordinate dimensions, so you will not be exposed to any unplanned risks in this infiltration.
The only thing to endure is the pervasive erosion of your body by the pervasive power of death. ”
Mason explains:
"Of course, I will make the appropriate equipment to ensure the safety of your lives in it, and the search for the projection of the World Gate itself in the 2149 universe is currently going well.
Thanks to the hectic nature of the gifted creatures we've scoured across the world, my Zombie K squad has secured its sights on countless levels of hell.
The only problem is that the hell there has also been eroded by death, so you have to travel through that hell plane in the shortest possible time to reach the location of the World Gate projection, and clear a safe enough path for subsequent entrants, and then. Sit tight! ”
The captain breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the reactions of the crowd, and after confirming that everyone understood the goal of his actions, he continued:
"According to the memories of the few remaining veteran researchers in the fox's nest who participated in the design and casting of the World Gate itself, the gate that carried all the power of the World Gate of the Stars Society could only be opened from one side.
Someone must open that door for you in Mephisto's lair, and this is the only goal of the physical world team that operates at the same time as you.
Once the World Gate is opened, then we are sure to win!
With the energy level of the Star Swallower and His hatred of the old devil, once we open that door, then all the problems associated with Mephisto will no longer be a problem!
Even better, the sturdiness and peculiarity of the Worldgate itself ensures that even the old devil can't destroy it, and Ciri's timely death will make Mephisto enter into a rapid weakening, and he can't guarantee that it will hinder our ability to act in the physical world. ”
Mason knocked on the table, announcing something akin to a final word:
"At that time, the old devil will not only have to face crusading forces from several worlds, but also a god of the otherly universe that he has used, bullied, and ridiculed to suppress us.
Not to mention that he hasn't detached yet, even if he is really detached, he has only one way to die in the face of this level of power convergence! ”
After Mason finished speaking, there was silence in the small chamber, and everyone was thinking about the battle plan in their own way and drawing their own conclusions, but for now, at least in general, there was nothing wrong with this plan.
It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that the old man put forward his idea, he said:
"So the point of this showdown is that the World Gate itself opens at the right time, and its successful execution is premised on you surviving Old A's death trap first, and at the same time ensuring that your other team can break into the devil's lair.
So here's the problem.
First of all, why do you think you're going to survive all your current enemies?
Secondly, the composition of your other team is also a big problem, and if I were Mephisto, I would do everything in my power to make my lair an impregnable undefeated fortress.
Actually, I think that if you are only carrying out pathfinding duties in the 2149 universe, your K-team is more suitable than us, and the deterrence and destructive power of our force should be placed on the frontal battlefield. ”
"That's right! I think so too. ”
Sister Ka nodded and said:
"I've always wondered if what it feels like to slash devils or what it feels like to slash those Olympian gods?"
"If it's the norm, that's true, but the problem is that we're not the norm."
Mason hesitated, deciding to give his most trusted Raiders a secret.
He whispered:
"Mephisto is a bastard, it doesn't mean that Uncle Swallow of the 2149 universe is a good person, in fact, according to the secret report of the zombie K team, they have already learned a lot of clues.
The goddess of death of that plane is picking out the warriors of death in a resurgent universe to form a dangerous and greedy army, as for the Star Swallower.
He never mentioned Mephisto's plans after Mephisto fell, but I think it wouldn't be so easy to get him to be honest back in his plane of death if we set Him free.
You must understand that although the rules of the 2149 universe are not perfect, the Star Swallower is indeed a projection of the power of the cosmic gods that grow in the distorted universe.
In terms of destructive power, none of the ten Mephisto could compare to Him.
The old devil wants control and power, and Uncle Swallow obviously wants a purer and more dangerous way to satisfy his never-ending appetite. ”
"Well, I'll understand when you say that."
Sister Ka blinked and said:
"So, breaking into the devil's lair through the secret passage and catching him by surprise is only our first task, and finding a way to 'persuade' the dangerous planet devourer and his dead companions back to his universe after revenge is our main job?"
"Well, that's right, you don't even need to be involved in the assault on Mephisto, just hold back the Legions of Death and don't let them enter the living material world.
I don't think that the planes of reality, which are currently so weakened and withered, can withstand a group of monsters that feed on the sea of stars, and the change of epochs in the universe is not only a threat to us, but also a problem for the 2149 universe.
If the Goddess of Death turns an entire parallel world system into her own divine kingdom, then it is very likely that she will turn this cosmic change into a stage leading to a higher level of power.
In this respect, she is even more dangerous and motivated to act than Swallow a Star.
We can't unleash another monster that is even more terrifying in order to defeat one monster, and that is to lay the foundation for the future.
We cannot leave our troubles to the next generation. ”
Mason Says:
"In short, in my plan, keeping the World Gate ontology connected to the two planes is more important than Mephisto's affairs, and once that door is snatched away by the Swallowing Star, the result will be disastrous.
To put it simply, our operation this time is to fight the skin of the tiger. That's why I'm going to put the strongest force in the normal state in this important position.
Of course, I won't let you fight against an entire plane of death with your bare hands, and I'll give you full support in terms of equipment and enhancements. ”
The captain explained the old man's concerns, and said casually:
"As for the candidates for the other strike team, you don't have to worry, the three bosses of the Ultimate K-Team have made it clear that they will shoulder their responsibilities, and the strongest of the entire Resistance Alliance, the newly united mutants, and the ronins of the Star Society will be carefully selected.
We have passed that stage of lack of manpower, and we are not weak in terms of elite forces.
As for my K-Squad
Unfortunately, due to Mephisto's coercive control of the Soul Contract, not only could they not appear on the frontal battlefield, but they also had to stay away from the war as much as possible.
But don't worry about them.
They also have their own work to do, and they cannot participate in the reckoning of Lord Destiny, but they will participate in this great liberation of the stars with the same effort and in another way!
All of them! ”
Mason opened his arms and said loudly:
"Everyone we know, everyone we don't know, will be fearless warriors in this final battle, and no one will be willing to be absent."
"Well said!"
The good-natured Thanos was agitated.
He applauded Mason's bold words and recognized such a glorious cause from the bottom of his heart, and the lord Chao and the big group also nodded frequently, although the little fairy Hope still had an opinion about Mason, she also had to admit that this guy did have an operation in inciting this aspect!
Only the old man was not satisfied.
After the noise of the others had come to an end, the old man said faintly:
"You've dodged my most important question, and you have to make it clear, Mason, you have to tell us how you plan to survive this death trap reserved for you?
This is important!
Not only because you are the absolute centerpiece of the neo-utopian project, but also because you are my Robin, and I am responsible for the safety of your life. ”
"Well, I don't actually have a specific plan either, because I don't know what kind of surprise Old A has in store for me."
Mason couldn't avoid the question, and in the eyes of the others, he thought for a moment and replied:
"But I believe that the Cosmic Power Armor that has been perfected will be able to protect my life with a great probability in a dangerous situation, and as far as I know, it is quite rare for them to be able to destroy this set of Power Armor, although there are thousands of treasures hidden in the Hope Council.
In addition, there is the wild phoenix that I have already achieved great success.
Its flames can even bring me back to full state when I'm beaten to the point where I have only one breath left, I also have a full set of anti-phoenix force tactics, and finally, at the level of unconventional weapons, I still have this"
He took out a bottle of "Second Generation Million Stars" potion from his pocket and placed it on the table, and as soon as he took it out, it attracted the attention of others, especially Thanos, the Titan who had the keenest sense of cosmic energy.
The latter frowned and said:
"It's powerful, but it has an aura that goes straight into the darkness, and my instincts tell me to stay away from it."
"That's true, I won't take it until I have to."
Mason rubbed his forehead and said:
"The side effects of this thing are a bit strong, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but me, but for superhumans it might be the ultimate weapon that can be used.
My alchemist has modified it to the limit that Kryptonians can tolerate."
"Then give me a bottle."
Lord Chao said:
"If I'm going to fight against more than one cosmic deity."
"Now, that's for you."
Mason threw the potion on the table to Lord Chao and instructed:
"You must use it when you have nothing to do and the situation is at its most critical, I'm not kidding, you may have to live in pain against yourself for the rest of your life."
"Hmm."
The lord Chao properly packed the potion, and then Mason clapped his hands and said to the people in front of him:
"Now, then, head to my engineering lab, where Enjinel Cooper is waiting for you, and he has prepared a complete set of unconventional weapons for each of you to strengthen your personal strength to the limit.
Especially you, sir.
Your power-up project is especially tedious compared to others, which means you may need to stay here to debug your weapons until tomorrow night's action begins.
Be fast! ”
Mason concludes:
"Whether it's your actions, my actions, or the actions of the commandos of the material world, you must be fast! The sooner the better, the actions of our three parties start in different areas but are interlocked, and not leaving more time for the dangerous enemy to react is a prerequisite for our victory. ”
"I understand, and I'm confident that I'll come back triumphantly."
Sister Ka reached out and patted Mason on the shoulder, and she said:
"We've fought against the impact and defeated the Emperor of the Universe, which is enough to show that we are no longer the weaklings in this game, although it doesn't seem like our principles to let the leader of the Isu go alone in this way, but considering that you, this little guy, have done countless miracles, I can still trust you unreservedly at this juncture.
We're going to drink the wine of victory together, and I have no doubt about that! ”
"Yes, definitely."
Mason smiled, shook hands with everyone who walked out of the small chamber, accepted their blessings and encouragement, and watched them leave.
The lord was the last to go.
He glanced at Mason and said:
"You must have something you haven't told us but you're better than me in every way, and I'm sure those concealments are well-intentioned, good luck, Mason."
The old man stretched out his hand to the captain, and when the two of them shook hands together, the old man suddenly whispered:
"I have a hunch that the story between us is coming to an end, and maybe every meeting after that may be a farewell, and although I am not happy about this future, I also understand that your life is more than that.
Perhaps what happened here is just the beginning for you, so I thought it might be time to prepare to say goodbye to you with blessings.
Mason, I am honored to have met you and to have done so many righteous, great, and glorious things with you.
No matter where you are, no matter where you go in the future, you will always be part of the Bat Family, and you will always be part of the Wayne Family. ”
"Master, why are you so sensational all of a sudden? I'm going to cry. ”
Mason grinned.
He said:
"I'm also glad that I've been able to witness a Batman close to me who can reap a relatively complete and happy life in countless sad rehearsals of fate.
I know pathos, darkness and depth are the undertones of all Batman legends, and I love stories like that, but I want my friends to have their own happiness.
It's time for you to retire, sir.
The Batman saga will continue, but that's none of your business. ”
"Well, I'll go home and get married after this fight."
The old man quietly planted a flag, turned away in Mason's cautious heartbeat, and in the small conference hall where he was alone, Mason lit a cigarette.
As the smoke rose, he picked up his penguin umbrella and looked at the dark and deep round orb at the top.
The black apple that hides all the secrets of the world.
Well, it's time to ask.
