30. Ha! Smash Mason's important nodes in the past, present and future! Fate, collapse now
World War, Gotham of the Last War.
Barry was hiding in the rubble with interest as the Bat Family beat the Laughing Bat, and behind his ass were three stunned variants of Kang, all of whom had been handcuffed with bats that he couldn't break free.
This kind of restraint is of little significance to Kang, and they have also prepared for this assassination on the timeline, just like the situation Wally just faced, as if there is a circle of time fixed to every node where Mason is very weak, and once the assassination fails, these Kang will not hesitate to activate this "ring" and send them to the place where everything began.
There they will revisit tactics for the next assault.
It's like a scoundrel with a cheater with its own S/L law.
But that's how Kang's Legion fights, they always succeed, and defeat is just a game for them to try again.
Time is a book that has been written for the Kang Dynasty for a long time, everything that has not happened has ended, and all fates have been written and cannot be changed.
And the right to read and delete this book is in Kang's hands.
Of course, this is just an exaggeration.
In the current situation where the impact of the tremor in the depths of the universe has been deepening and the sacred timeline is shattered, Kang's control over the past, present and future has been greatly negligent, otherwise he would not willingly join Lao A's final assassination that is almost angry.
"This is the third time."
After seeing the Laughing Bat being overturned by the Bat Family for the third time, Barry stretched and looked back at Kang who was dissipating in time, and he sighed and said:
"These guys are getting harder and harder to deal with, this time they're all planning to detonate the cosmic tuning fork, I don't know what they're going to do next time."
Flash fully understands Kang's difficulties, but he doesn't intend to give up.
Mason explained everything to them before leaving, the Speedsters were invited by him to come to protect him from the past time, and it was clear that Mason also knew that Kang's pursuit in the past was the most vicious and effective part of Old A's assassination plan.
In the past, Mason led and protected them, and now that the integration plan has been successfully pushed to this point, it is indeed time for them, the protected people, to protect their leaders in turn.
Flash jumped in place, then swooped into the time tunnel and returned to the rainy night of the final battle a second later, not looking at the battle between the Bat Family and the Laughing Bat behind him.
No matter how good-looking the drama is, it's a little greasy to watch it three times in a row.
He looked around vigilantly and ran at the speed of light to find the traces of the assassin Kang, but he didn't find where Kang was hiding this time?
"They gave up?"
Flash skipped this thought in her mind and immediately contacted the other speeders, only to receive a fairly unanimous answer:
"I'm in the fourth round here, but there's no sign of Kang! They retreated? ”
"Why are you only in the fourth round? It's too bad, I'm in the sixth round, hell, they just knocked out my armor, but luckily Lady Janet arrived just in time.
Are these guys going to fight monsters and level up? That's outrageous, isn't it? ”
"Kang wasn't found here!"
"Me too, they really seem to have retreated?"
The speedsters exchanged messages in a rambling manner, and their mood became more optimistic when they didn't find Kang Hou who came to stir up trouble at several of Mason's weakest points.
But Lady Janet, who was resting in the ruins of Virginia in the pirate world, had a frosty face, and after she used a device to check the surroundings to make sure there was no time wormhole, she said to the other speedsters:
"It's not like that! Kang's retreat will never be so quiet, that's not his style, and he hasn't used a weapon that can destroy the world in an instant, which means that your resistance to them hasn't reached a point where Kang can't handle it.
This is not a retreat!
This was a strategic shift that would have allowed Kang to abandon his plan to assassinate Mason when he was at his weakest, presumably because they had found a more favorable time.
They may have found Mason's 'Destiny Node'. ”
"What does that mean? Aunt. ”
Little Iris, who was beside Ms. Janet, chewed gum and asked curiously:
"What is a fate node? Sounds amazing. ”
"That's a time traveler concept, that's what it seems."
The original wasp rubbed her eyebrows and explained:
"Ordinary people think that fate is impermanent, but for Kang, everyone's life direction is certain, but in this line of life, there is always a node that is the most important turning point.
Once that node changes, it directly affects all the fates that a person can experience.
At other points in time, Kang's assassination of Mason must be guaranteed to succeed in order to change the future, but at the fateful point, they don't need to kill Mason, they just need to make Mason make a different choice than he did at the beginning, and everything can be easily changed.
That's a very hard nut to find, but we're forced to think the worst for now. Flash, you've had the most contact with Mason, think about it!
Did Mason ever tell you at what point in time he was in the past?"
"I know."
Flash immediately replied:
"The night he met Catwoman, the night he quit the Penguins and met Batman, he said many times that it was on that night that his life changed drastically."
"Go there! Everyone, go! Fast! ”
Lady Janet no longer hesitated, and with a single order, the Speedsters at all points in time began to run at the same time and travel through time to the night it all happened.
But they weren't at the same point in time.
As the Wasp emerges from the time spiral, she sees Mason standing like a doorman in front of the glittering Iceberg Bar, seemingly out of step with the typical Gotham thugs next to him.
No problem at this point in time.
Janet didn't detect any time the wormhole opened, which made her breathe a sigh of relief but frown again.
"I saw it! The first moment Mason and Catwoman meet, oh my god, Selena is so embarrassed, I've never seen her bullied like this.
No wonder she had such a good relationship with Mason, who sacrificed his life to help her when he was at his weakest.
This was the starting point for Mason to become a hero.
It was his fateful moment. ”
Flash yells in the communication and appears in Crime Alley minutes later, punching the head of an assassin, Kang, who is clutching a dagger to attack Mason.
At this time, Mason had just grabbed a crowbar and attacked his "big brother", and his eldest brother was smiling lewdly on Catwoman, who was about to sneak attack him, before being knocked down.
At this time, Mason was a real rookie, and he didn't realize what was happening at that moment, but he felt the cold wind flashing in the back of his head, and then he talked to Catwoman with a surprised face.
"No, it's not, his meeting with Batman has connected him to the Batfamily, Catwoman is just an introduction, I think I found his fate node."
Wally's shouts rang out in the next moment.
Nearly half an hour later, in the Gotham City Police Station, Wally wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the high-tech bomb in his hand that had been suspended from the countdown to the explosion.
This thing has just been put on the floor at the feet of Mason, who is helping Director Gordon against the Penguin gangsters, by a Stalker.
"But I'm full of Kang here! All kinds of Kang! ”
Jesse Quicker exclaimed:
"Come to me, right here at the scene of the Batman and Penguin duel, where Mason is hiding trying to pick up a head, and there are at least fifteen Kang on the street aiming at him with various gadgets.
What a hell!
I remember the last time I shared my beauty experience with Harley, Harley told me that Mason would always talk to her about the moment when he used a bullet to the penguin as a resignation letter.
That means Mason is out of the darkness and into the light, maybe this is."
"No, it's neither! I'm here. ”
Hermes, the god of speed, said in an unhappy tone:
"At midnight today, at least a third of the elite Assassins in the Ottosburg Police Safe House were replaced by Kang and his men during the Assassin League's raid on Mason.
You'd better hurry.
It's unlikely that I'll be able to protect him alone, and there's also the point where he and Old K met, that is, the moment he joined the Stars, which is definitely his fate.
Go to a few more people to escort. ”
The Speeders all spotted Mason's pivotal moment of the night at the point in time they jumped into, and they all seemed to have a point.
There were so many things that Mason had to do that night, and every single one of them was very important to talk about, and as Ms. Janet described, any point in the night that went wrong would lead directly to the various intricacies of Mason's miss.
None of the Speedsters can convince anyone, and they are limited in number and cannot have enough people at each node.
But Ms. Janet remained silent.
Ignoring the brawl of the Speedsters, and not being disturbed by their findings, she hid in the alley across the street from the Iceberg Bar, observing Mason across the street.
It's not that the timing of the Speedsters' discovery doesn't matter, but that Ms. Janet doesn't think those are Mason's true fateful moments.
It is likely that Kang deliberately released an illusion to interfere with their judgment, and the moment that really decided Mason's fate was not here
But where?
The original Wasp tweaked her goggles to draw her gaze closer to the face of her little penguin brother, Mason Cooper, and she carefully examined the young man in front of her, not letting go of every detail.
The black and messy hair represents the young man's uncomfortable life in the past few days, the white but shabby clothes represent his financial distress during this period, and the boredom and helplessness that flashes from time to time in his eyes indicate that Mason is not satisfied with his situation at this time.
He seems to be seeking and expecting change.
The little black eyebrow next to him smiled and handed him a "cigarette" as if to convey kindness, but Mason refused very bluntly, obviously knowing what contraband was added to this thing.
However, he was very smart, and pointed to the bandaged wound on his head to indicate that he was still a wounded man, and he couldn't wait!
Wounds?
The wasp blinked.
How did Mason get injured at this time?
She seemed to remember Mason telling her about it before, and she had heard him complain that a bottle of wine fell from the sky and smashed him on the head, almost killing him.
Before this tragedy, Mason Cooper was just a member of the crowd of Gotham City, and after he returned to the Penguins with his injuries, everything seemed different.
Change doesn't start now, and it doesn't start today.
The first moment that affected Mason's fate was not tonight or in front of us, it was this street a few days ago! It was the one who was thrown down from the third floor by an unscrupulous drinker and hit his bottle!
Got it!
Mason Cooper's true destiny node!
That smashed bottle!
"You stay here!"
Ms. Janet shouted in the communicator, put the last can of Pym particles in her waist into the shuttle with a little overheating in the core due to multiple crosses of time in a short period of time, and disappeared in place with a whoosh, turning into a point of light and continuing to move forward.
In the next moment, the figure of the original wasp appeared in the same place, still in the alley across the street from the Iceberg Bar, but the timing changed.
It was the night Mason was hit by a bottle.
And the moment Ms. Janet appeared, she looked up and saw the bastard Kang Zheng in a suit and leather shoes, holding a Gotham socialite who didn't know where to come from, with a smile on her face, and walked into the golden iceberg bar in front of her with the nod of the welcome brother next to her.
It's that bastard!
It's the bastard Kang who deceived himself in the quantum realm and left himself with an indelible psychological shadow!
He didn't die and appeared here alone, and being able to send other assassins Kang out to feint at various points in time means that this guy must have a lot of position in the Kang Dynasty.
He may be the commander of this time assassination!
"It's really a narrow road."
Lady Janet sneered.
She retreated into the darkness, and after the sound of the ropes, she took the form of a lady who still had a charm, and crossed the street with her handbag in an elegant gesture.
Throwing the bottle of the beautiful potion into the trash, he seemed to have returned to his most mature and elegant moment as he stepped up the golden bar staircase.
As Mason's most competent researcher, there is no shortage of beauty potions, but unlike other women, she never uses them to hide her true age.
This is a kind of attachment and pursuit of truth, and it is PTSD after being hurt by the unreal.
But tonight she broke her rules, nodding with a smile on her face to the men on both sides of her who had their eyes on her, and swaying her waist into the place she had never been.
She knows that today will not only be free of danger in her own protection, but also her lucky day, and it will be the day when she will truly say goodbye to the past and start her life again with a relaxed attitude.
What a wonderful moment.
"Ding"
The luxurious elevator opened on the third floor, and Ms. Janet stepped out of the elevator on Catwoman, only to be stopped by two gangsters in front of her.
Apparently this is the VIP area, a place that only people with status in Gotham City can enter.
"I have an appointment with that gentleman."
The original wasp smiled the most charmingly, and the old aunt's lethality was not covered, she pointed to Kang, who had already walked to the window, and said to the two thugs.
The two of them obviously didn't like this, and were about to politely persuade her to leave, but they were paralyzed by the smiling Lady Janet with a wrist cannon disguised as a bracelet.
Then she gritted her teeth and walked quickly to her eyes and pushed away her female companion Kang.
Next to the guy in the window seat, there was a drunken guy talking nonsense and singing weird obscene songs.
This long-haired, non-mainstream man was holding a bottle of rum that was about to be drunk, and perhaps after he finished drinking, this thing would be smashed off the third floor.
But the bottle was pressed into the air by Kang's prepared hand.
"It's a bad habit to litter, sir."
Kang the Conqueror politely said to the drunken man in front of him:
"It's not good if you hit someone who is unlucky or lucky, you say?"
