"Seven seconds."

On the pure white throne of the Dou Realm, the eyes of the Divine Monarch Dum under his camouflage helmet were staring at the picture in front of him, and in his eyes, he could see the cold scene of Mason neatly "disemboweling" the Fortress No. 1.

At this time, less than 10 seconds have passed since the start of the battle, which can almost be called an instant kill.

As it turns out, Dom not only miscalculated Mason's power in the Utopian world, but now he has also made a rather terrible mistake in his estimation of normal combat power.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the various programs of the fortress have just been perfected and will not have time to be infused with more combat skills, and the robot itself admits that at the hardware level, there is at least a generation difference between him and Mason's power armor.

This is equivalent to a level 90 mage sword seconds a level 60 battle cock, which is not surprising at all.

"Obviously, all of the combat power is built up by creation, and it is obviously contrary to the power code that the truly strong believe in, but after putting all his energy into 'miraculous skills', he still created a near-impossible miracle.

Mason Cooper"

The Divine Monarch's eyes narrowed.

He waved his hand away from the scene in front of him, and although there was still a steady stream of super mutants awakened in that base, they were not even "trouble" when faced with Mason wearing the main power armor of the universe.

"Is it a miracle that manufacturing skills come true when they come to life? The 'special interpretation' of power makes all the means that can be effective against other powerful people be greatly reduced in front of you.

At the end of the day, what you rely on is not brute force but wisdom. ”

The Lord of the Dou Realm rose from his throne and walked down the steps to dissipate the white mist in front of him, and the area beneath his throne was lined with more than a dozen creature pods.

It houses all aircraft from Fort II to Fort XVII.

As the ultimate creature produced by the Ninlu-class Sentinel Hive, the Fortress naturally possesses a hive consciousness, and he is a powerful individual with a God-given talent for "unity" and group fighting.

Before, the Divine Monarch was not quite sure in which direction he was going to cultivate the "Unexpected Joy" of the Fortress, but after seeing Mason's tactics with his own eyes, he suddenly had a wonderful inspiration.

"It is said that in order to make himself the pinnacle in every field of manufacturing, Mason Cooper deliberately used his abilities to create a craftsman-type doppelganger for himself that was not used in combat.

This gave him ten times more energy than others to gain external power, the power of wisdom, in endless exploration. ”

He stretched out his hand, patted the biological cabin where the Baston No. 2 was located next to him, and said:

"You can't use conventional means to deal with such a person, Lao A's ridiculous assassination has proved this truth, and it is impossible to defeat him by pure force.

Batman's teachings have taught him to always have a plan for any accident, so the only way to contain him is to be him. ”

Doom lowered his head and looked at the lifelike bastion robots in the creature pod.

He rubbed his chin and said

"From now on, your name is Mason II. Abandon useless power, I and the Star of the End, which will eventually shine, need a good manufacturing team. ”

"Click"

The creature pod opened outward in the next moment, and the bastion that opened its eyes changed its countenance, making itself an identical entity to Mason, only slightly different in detail.

He subconsciously wiped his neck and shoulders.

The experience of being beheaded by Mason just now seems to be still there, the only fortunate thing is that he has no pain and will not leave a psychological shadow. He calmly accepted the arrangements that Durm had just made for the rest of his life, and asked:

"But now, do you sit back and watch this assassination fail? If you just let it go, you will be reprimanded on the side of Your Excellency Old A, right? ”

"If I want to meddle, I have to have that ability."

Dum Divine Monarch waved his hand and said in a casual tone:

"He has sealed off the world and no longer trusts me, not to mention that I have given him the most powerful Dark Phoenix Madeleine I can get my hands on.

He played a good hand of cards badly, so why should he scold me?

Besides."

The Lord of the Fighting Realm paused and said meaningfully:

"He has to survive the duel with Old K before he can scold me that stupid 'Mazefak', right? Well, don't worry about the idea of a loser, Mason II.

Let's start learning.

I don't have much time left for you with a database of the entire council and a mind extractor from the fox's nest, but I think you should be a surprise when the dreaded Mason knocks on my door with murderous intent.

We need to harness the power of wisdom. ”

Shenjun shook his head, and after glancing down at the countdown to zero, and confirming that Madeleine's transformation was successfully completed, he completely cut off all communication channels with Lao A and others, and removed the emblem on his collar as a symbol of the status of "Director of Hope", and melted in the palm of his hand without any hesitation.

This represents a choice that is not difficult for him to make.

He said:

"I had to create my own monster to fight against that terrifying opponent in the final chapter of the apocalypse. And, of course, our magical Mason.

Tsk, looks like I'm really annoying him. ”

——

"Bang"

The blue liquid in Madeleine's bio jar has been drained, and Compound Five, which has been infused into the body in a special way, has begun to take effect.

The moment the Red Queen's consciousness returned, she could feel the primordial call from the power of the phoenix, but the psychic power she had inherited from Jean Grey and Emma Frost was also strengthened to the limit so that she could maintain her sanity in the midst of the chaotic call.

Unfortunately, it didn't last long.

To be exact.

The next second she opened her eyes, when she saw the person in front of her, Madeleine's newly regained reason instantly burned again.

"Mason !!"

She roared and shattered everything in the lab, turning into a flaming phoenix that annihilated everything and crashed into the man looking at her, the scorching light of the fire covering the reality-bending power that disintegrated everything she could perceive into the most primitive particles.

At the same time as Madeleine's control power increased, the potential of the overly large phoenix power carried in her body was also developed to a higher level, and even formed a distorted force field like a sheath.

It doesn't take energy to control, it's like a wave of annihilation with its own aura of destruction.

But a boost in power isn't always a good thing, especially if the user lacks the ability to manipulate it.

The appearance of the dangerous Annihilation Force means that Madeleine has officially stepped into the level of "Dark Phoenix" under the impetus of Compound Five, and this talented player who was once expected by Utopia has finally failed to complete the legendary miracle of "White Phoenix", and has become a victim of another horror story about Dark Phoenix.

Unfortunately, this brutal and dangerous force slapped in front of Mason like a tide, as if it had crashed into an invisible wall, blocked by the silver glow.

The combat AI of the Cosmic Main Power Armor is alarming, and the energy of the Warframe is rapidly decreasing, and the X element attached to the X metal from the Cosmic Furnace cannot withstand such consumption.

After all, on the other side is the power of the phoenix, the power of creation, and the power of the ancients, which are not weaker than the existence of the role of the world forger, and the subordinate creations of the two will naturally suffer losses in the confrontation.

So, it's really stupid to push the limits of your gear, because there's always something better than your hand beckoning.

"Smack"

The sturdy armor waved to sweep away the wave of annihilation, and the colorful streamers flickered in the phoenix fire, like a classic replica of the first meeting, and Madeleine flew back with even faster speed.

However, she made a nimble roll in the air to stop herself in embarrassment, and at the same time, she also used the tumbling of flames to shape a long dress for herself.

The red handprints on his cheeks were dissipating, and Mason stood still in front of him.

There was barely any conversation, and the next wave of phoenix flames surged again, this time Mason didn't need to resist, because the greedy bird had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

As the flames fell, the sound of chirping was absorbed and swallowed into Fawkes's sharp beak, and Mason took advantage of this time to check the condition of the power armor.

The integrity is still 100%, but the outer metal has been deformed in a less desirable way.

This means that the Dark Phoenix's controllable energy level has reached the warning line, and as Madeleine's will continues to be eroded by the power of the Phoenix, her energy level will continue to increase.

It's not that gradual ascension, the savage resurgence of the Phoenix's power has never been such a sentimental thing, and her growth will only increase exponentially, and its threat level is unreasonable to the point of being like a firework that has been ignited.

In a very short period of time, he burned all his life, turned into the brightest starlight in the dark star sea, and then flashed away in the extreme burning.

"Maybe they anticipated this when they gave the gifts? It seems that those bastards are sure that I will encounter an enemy that I can't solve with my wits. ”

Mason whispered.

In front of him, Fox had already begun to burp but was still insisting on "eating and drinking", and the captain finally used one of the last resorts of the trip.

"Click"

The Black Heart of the Star Emperor is attached to the perfectly hollowed groove on the chest of the Cosmic Main Power Armor for inlaying one-time Infinity Stones, and the main processor that is perfectly equipped for any mechanical creation changes shape the moment it comes into contact with the Power Armor, which is also a cosmic artifact, forming several black slots.

After perfectly simulating the position of the six gems, Mason's pressure was used to connect with the power armor.

The core fire burns violently, and the supply of infinite energy replaces the X-element infusion used by the power armor for energy, and the power armor as an armed vehicle is also given four enhancements by the Star Emperor's Heart [Energy Projection MAX], [Energy Absorption MAX], [Mechanical Repair MAX], and [Faster Light].

This is enough to make the main power armor of the universe change qualitatively in an instant.

The only pity is that the [Plane Leap] ability given to the vehicle cannot be activated, it seems that Lao A must have used some kind of super item to complete the blockade of this planet, and its quality is not lower than the Heart of the Star Emperor.

In order to put him in a cage, this is really a bloody investment.

"Get out of the way!"

Mason, who had completed upgrading his weapons and armor, spoke, and Fawkegar, who had already eaten the phoenix fire, turned into fire and dissipated into flames.

For the first time in his life, the greedy wild phoenix felt the pain of happiness.

I can't finish eating!

I can't finish it at all!

The black phoenix's energy burst was far beyond its comprehension, allowing this wild phoenix to truly see the horrors of the ultimate life, and of course, it also gave it a higher yearning.

Maybe that's what a phoenix should look like.

"Bang"

Being scorched by the phoenix fire again and the squeeze of reality distortion can no longer make Mason feel even the slightest pressure, in the face of the various attacks of Madeleine, whose eyes have entered pure black, the energy matrix supported outside of Mason's power armor is only a little ripple, unless the black phoenix can reach the point of shattering the star of the Universe Emperor with one blow, otherwise she has no way to take the current ultimate form Mason.

"I got here 25 seconds ago."

Mason's voice rang out from under the folded X-metal helmet, and with a sense of indifference, he said to Madeleine, who had spread out the wings of the phoenix in front of him, and had completely annihilated and collapsed the area where the base was three hundred meters underground and connected to the ground:

"I had a full 25 seconds to kill you before you woke up, but I didn't do that. I don't want to hide your end, Madeleine.

You're hopeless.

Whether it's the erosion of the Phoenix's power, or the rash acceptance of the enhancement of Compound Five, or the fact that you are in an unknown state of mind and running to Doom for help, these actions have pushed you into an irretrievable hell.

Even if I don't do it, you won't be able to leave this planet alive.

But I want you to be a ghost."

"Gollum!"

To this, Madeleine's response was:

"Give me back my Gollum!"

This is her only obsession.

In the state of the dark phoenix, the dark side of her heart that is constantly triggered by the power of the phoenix is enough to make any strong-willed person go crazy in an instant, but she miraculously did not completely sink into the desire for destruction and still roared the name of her best friend.

She had said that it was her only friend.

Now, it seems, she wasn't lying.

"I'd like to tell you Gollum is on her way here, but I guess you won't listen right now."

Mason leapt from the ground and leapt in front of Madeleine in a silver glow, reaching out and clasping her shoulders to force her to reemerge from the particle shift.

This close contact with the Dark Phoenix caused a crack in the energy matrix, and although it was repaired in the next second, it was enough to prove that Madeleine's earth-shattering energy level was actually increasing at this time.

According to the Captain's estimates, it may take less than five minutes for Madeleine to dismantle the world in this state.

The Red Queen is struggling.

It's almost exactly the same as the last encounter.

Only this time Merlin didn't crush her neck again, and under the full-covered helmet made of X metal, the captain looked at the poor man in front of him with a kind of pity, who was constantly falling to self-destruction.

Frankly, his feelings for Madeleine are not particularly special.

It was not so much to admit that she was his sister, but rather to the pictures that the Supreme Professor showed him before he died, which made Mason's heart fluctuate a little.

It was a pity and empathy for the cruelty of a little girl, but it was still a long way from being emotional, not to mention that Mason's standards for "family" had always been strict.

Even Emma took a long time to slowly get into Mason's heart.

To put it more ruthlessly, the brother Madeleine wanted was long gone, and all that existed in the shell was a foreign soul, and the bad impression left on him by Madeleine's first few meetings with Mason did not satisfy the captain.

If he really has such a sister, then Mason will definitely review whether there is something wrong with his education method?

"Emma."

Mason restrained the Dark Phoenix, who was still raising his energy level in front of him, and he said in his armor:

"If you want to do something, hurry up, even the main power armor of the universe in this form can't withstand the increasingly crazy black phoenix to rage like this.

I don't want to ask you how long it will take you to save your own daughter, but I can only give you a few minutes.

Do everything you can to bring her back and fulfill your responsibilities as a mother. ”

"But I decided to put this repeater in this armor to help you kill her, Mason."

The White Queen explains:

"I don't want to be an obstacle to you, if my son wants me to choose between the two of you, I will definitely choose."

"But how could I have made my mother make such a terrible decision?"

The captain shook his head and said:

"Forcing you to kill one child to protect another, I can't do this kind of human tragedy, and I'm not a bastard like Old A.

Come on, Emma, don't waste time. ”

"Then trap her!"

The White Queen, who activated the brainwave intensifier in the Osborne Tower, took a deep breath and said:

"Leave it to me, son, and I'll put an end to this, and I won't let the best of you in the world get your hands bloody."
