33. The life of Madeleine, the tool man

The flame of the phoenix burns all things, the annihilation force field destroys the stars, although the black phoenix is temporarily suppressed, the black flames that continue to beat from Madeleine Pryor are still attached to the surrounding existence and continue to erode, which is the most intuitive system of the power of creation.

It wants to burn out the individuals who bear this out-of-control power, and before it returns the imbalanced world to a flame ignited for the future, it recovers this energy and scatters the warm ashes throughout the dark star.

The rampage of the power of the phoenix is infecting the foundation of this ruined base world, and the sinkhole of downward annihilation has pierced the mantle layer, and the dark flames are like a continuous vein of destruction in the planet, and it only takes a powerful vibration to completely destroy the entire world when it erodes into the earth's core.

This is also the "self-help" plan that Mason is promoting.

At this time, there are still six minutes before the arrival of the global neutron extermination, and the chief captain can be sure that the neutron extermination is only the most "gentle" of all the dispositions that Lao A left for himself.

"Warning! Data Pollution! Warn! ”

As Madeline and Gollum hugged each other in farewell, a sharp sound came from Mason's Power Armor, which meant that the Star Emperor's Heart, which had become more active in the fight against the power of the Phoenix, had begun to infect the AI of this suit of armor while infusing the Power Armor with power.

The captain immediately chose to format all the databases and ordered the AI to self-destruct.

He didn't want to see the Cosmic Power Armor look like when it mutinied, how deadly this power armor was in his hands, how tricky it was when it became an enemy.

"Smack"

The black Star Emperor's Heart processor was removed from the armor by Mason, and it quickly returned to its original appearance in the palm of Mason's hand, and the glittering silver armor also bounced off at this moment, allowing Mason to walk out of it, and then it folded itself and was recycled into a special storage tank.

Until the data contamination of the Emperor of the Universe is removed, this set of power armor cannot be used at risk.

This worries Ciri a lot.

She said:

"The battle isn't over yet, and not using it puts you at more risk."

"No, it's over."

Mason grabbed Ciri's waist and looked at Madeleine and Gollum in front of him, and he whispered:

"The fact that the Dark Phoenix was able to kill me before it regained its senses has proved that Old A's last killing move failed, Emma's consciousness is still in Madeleine's heart, and with her to stabilize the Red Queen's last sanity, the next time Dark Phoenix goes berserk is when it dies.

Madeleine.

My sister has never been short of decisions, and her presence here means that she has made up her mind, and she has finally chosen to take her destiny into her own hands.

This may be the best ending to her sad and lamentable life. ”

Ciri nodded.

She had learned of Madeleine's story from Mason, and she didn't want to comment too much on the Red Queen's fate, but when the battle was over, she looked up and asked:

"I just saw you feed the Dark Phoenix something. What is that? ”

"Secret."

Mason smiled mysteriously.

He looked at Madeleine, who was trying her best to suppress the power of the runaway phoenix, and said:

"But you soon saw it with your own eyes."

The Red Queen's goodbye to Gollum didn't last long, and her situation didn't allow her to say more for her best friend, but Gollum's eyes were already dripping with tears.

While it's a bit unnecessary to say anything cool in such a situation, the Predator looks really bad when he cries, and their tear ducts may not be designed to shed fragile tears.

"They're still peeking into the battlefield."

Ciri pointed to the distance, where the rainstorm had ended, but the gods could still be seen above the clouds in the not-so-clear sky.

They were clearly waiting for a Jedi to strike back.

They knew, and Mason knew, that this opportunity would eventually fall to Madeleine, and the way it would take effect didn't even need to be guessed to know that it would definitely be a problem with the Black Sword of Death.

Speaking of which, Mason's Black Death Sword fragment swore that it would win against its own kind, but it had been so long that the guy hadn't heard from him.

Well, there is a high probability that it should be gacked, how can a pioneer who is so strong in his mouth have such a weak sword?

"Leave them alone."

The captain waved his hand and said:

"They have never been the key factor that can determine the outcome, even if they don't wear power armor and rely on my armor, which is also an artifact-level clothes, they don't have a problem with me, huh?

What the hell is moving? ”

Before Mason could finish speaking, he heard a violent sonic boom explode behind him, and he and Ciri looked back in surprise to see a figure wrapped in a red cloak whistling into the sky from under the ruins in the distance.

Its posture is so arrogant that it is like a superhero who has entered a state of battle, and after rushing into the clouds, there are crimson heat rays erupting from the clouds, and such a head rushing into the hiding place of the gods is obviously provoking a fight, and behind the guy who hit the head, there is also a large group of strangely dressed people who also rushed out of the hiding place.

The black-clad "Storm", similar to the Storm Girl, rushed into the clouds, and the lightning and thunder played the "counter-offensive overture" of the local natives.

Ciri also sees that Queen Maeve, who was scared away by Mason earlier, is among them, and the latter is shooting into the sky with a particle cannon that has been removed from the base's defense system.

The gods didn't expect the attack to come from these guys who were supposed to be allies.

They were caught off guard, and in the face of these professional heroes strengthened by the improved version of Compound Five, although they had the advantage in strength, they would not be able to take them for a while.

"What is this doing?"

The Hunter's eyes widened and he said:

"Is there infighting? At this time? ”

"No, it's a confession."

Mason narrowed his eyes, rubbed his chin and said:

"It seems that Azu has made up his mind, perhaps because he saw Lao A's arrangement being penetrated by me layer by layer, so he realized who would win this ambush battle.

Don't expect anything from their character.

They may look like the Justice League and the Avengers, but they make the hero profession a profession, and their loyalty depends on profit and there is not much idealization in them.

It's a pretty good mercenary warrior.

They don't want to die in the global neutron extermination that Lao A is about to start, and they don't want to bury this ruined world, so there is only one choice left for them. ”

"Bang"

As soon as the captain finished speaking, Azu, who was carrying a human head, roared and landed in front of him, suspended in the air in a superhuman posture, the head belonging to Apollo in his hand was still dripping blood, but the other hand was covering his abdomen.

His pretty face was distorted, and that was the glorious demeanor of winning the intestinal speed skating championship, the last stubbornness that went out of his way to keep the filth out of his trousers.

He gritted his teeth and stared at Mason, squeezing a voice out of his teeth:

"We acted as you wished, and we were willing to follow you, but now. Give me the antidote! Damn it! I was buried in the toilet and almost died at the hands of that terrible black phoenix.

It's the worst death gesture I could ever think of, it's stupid! ”

"If you hang up so easily, what's the point of me recruiting you? Mr. Iron Stomach. ”

Mason made no secret of his gloating expression, took out a tube of potion from his combat belt and threw it over, and was held in Azu's hand and twisted the lid open, not caring if there were other strange things inside, and tilted his head and dried it.

Then a refreshing sound came out of his mouth, and it seemed that he suddenly came back to his soul and made a bad gesture to Mason, reflexively made a sudden gesture in the air, and rushed back to the cloud battlefield again.

He understands very well that if he wants to escape, he has to work hard, and it seems that it is not unreasonable to become the top hero of Walter Company.

"Da Chao will definitely refuse to admit that such a guy is also a superman."

The Hunter said faintly:

"He's far from that title in every way."

"However, Azu is just a true person, and if you know what he has done, it is not difficult to see that this guy is a giant baby with an immature mind but always longing to be respected.

Inferior, uglier, but also more real. ”

Mason no longer paid attention to the battle between the pro heroes and the gods behind him, he glanced at his watch, there were still three minutes before the countdown to neutron killing, at which point the Death Star Battle Fortress that had been teleported beyond the planet's orbit had opened its light track and begun to lock onto its target, the weaponry of the thing was fully opened, and all kinds of destruction were put into the delivery port.

In order to ensure that Mason died here today, even the antimatter bombs used to create the miniature black hole were loaded into two dozen.

Once the slaughter begins, these deterrent things will be thrown on the captain's head.

But Mason no longer pays attention to it.

"I'm leaving."

Madeleine pushed Gollum away and placed one of her close-fitting necklaces into her hand, the last relic of the Red Queen's destruction of her own world.

She looked back at Mason.

Her body had begun to glow with a black light, a sign that the power of the Dark Phoenix could no longer be suppressed, making her whole person look like a fission bomb about to explode.

"Get out!"

She raised her hand and said to the captain and the hunter:

"I will channel the energy of the Dark Phoenix to the star core, blow up the world and tear apart the space-time blockade here, that is your last chance to leave.

It's only a few seconds, but I'm sure you can handle it.

Your name is Fox, right? ”

Madeleine looked at the wild phoenix standing on Mason's shoulder, burping, and she called:

"Come here, devour as much phoenix power as you can, lest this fall into the hands of Doom after my death."

"Chirp"

The ever-greedy Wild Phoenix looked at the pure phoenix power gathered in Madeleine's palm, which was still delicious to it, but it stood on Mason's shoulder and shook its head frantically.

The black onyx-like eyes revealed a sense of despair and resistance.

I can't eat it anymore.

Its body is already full of the condensation of phoenix power, except for the organs necessary to sustain life, and it will definitely die if it takes a few more bites.

Although this will also trigger the phoenix's passive nirvana rebirth, Fawkes is only greedy and not stupid, so it will not kill itself in the pain of being strangled to death.

"Perhaps we should expect the Divine Monarch of Doom to eat these phoenix powers."

Mason shook his head and said:

"That would give him a temporary gratification of his elven powers, but the biggest problem with that power is that it is never satisfied, and its tranquility does not even last more than a week, and then its greedy nature swells again to the point that Doom cannot control, and finally leaves the bastard who has caused countless tragedies to suffer the consequences.

This may be your last and best revenge on him. ”

Madeleine was stunned for a moment, then smiled fiercely and nodded, she had no more doubts, and then let go of the suppression of the Dark Phoenix's power.

In an instant, those black and dangerous flames ignited again, and Madeleine surged to the ground in a chaotic and uncontrollable micro-manipulation, and the whole earth shook violently, and the light that erupted from the ground poured into the sky along the torn crust.

This is the anger of the star core when it is ignited, and it is also a precursor to the tearing of the world.

"Kill him!"

Odin's roar rang out above the clouds, and then a black light whistled down from the sky, splitting the light and dancing clouds into the ground.

In the burst of cold aura, countless black streamers projected in the material world dispersed, exposing the black death sword wrapped in it to Madeleine's eyes.

It was the full Black Death Sword.

The streamlined sword has a curved hollow in its body, and its entire body is dark and shows the characteristics of the most primitive bladed weapon, but if you look closely, the seemingly smooth sword body is composed entirely of surging symbiotes.

They cling to the blades of their swords and never rest, and the call of the dark god Narr casts a sinister laugh that overlays the shadow of despair over everyone present.

Mason and Ciri's shadows rebel, dark creatures turning into tentacles that anchor them in flickering shadows.

The black phoenix in front of her seemed to be called by the black death sword, she stretched out her hand to hold the cold hilt, and the collision of the phoenix's power and the dark power formed a scattered dark circle of light on her fingers.

"Kill him!"

The roar from Old A echoed in Madeleine's heart, an order given to the Dark Phoenix, and the perfect ending that the Judge wanted most.

"Huh"

The strange and dangerous blade of the sword lifted and aimed at Mason, who was bound to the earth.

The Black Death Sword Fragment is a must-kill thing for enemies with divine nature, but the intact Black Death Sword is not only anti-godly, it has the destructive power to destroy everything that is not dark.

According to Mason's estimates, even the Cosmic Main Power Armor will have a greatly reduced defense power in the face of such a star-stellar fierce soldier.

"Do it, Madeleine."

Mason spread his hands out in place, holding Ciri at his side.

He said to the sword-bearer, who was burning in the black flames before him:

"Don't care about Emma's nonsense, it's between you and me after all, and now it's up to you to decide, choose an ending for your life with your own hands.

I want to tell you that when we first met, I was really happy when you called me my brother, even though things took a turn for the worse.

At least in that moment, I realized that I wasn't alone. ”

"This kind of goodbye really sucks, Mason, I'm really sorry for everything I've done to you, let me apologize with death."

Multiple resonant voices came out of the Dark Phoenix's mouth, her black burning pupils one last glance at Mason, and then swung her blade and stabbed her heart with a grunt behind her.

Decisive, precise and deadly.

At the moment when the heart was pierced, the body's life force quickly changed and burned.

The Dark Phoenix was also roaring to repair Madeleine's broken heart, but the Black Death Sword's slaughter of all life-destroying life made death extremely simple.

Madeleine's body burned, and the black light poured out of her fallen body with a strange howl, turning into a black phoenix that covered the sky and the sun screamed and pounced on Mason, a malicious chaos that wanted to take the life in front of her with it.

But a second before it touched Mason, the call from the Dou Realm drained it with a greedy and eager gesture, and was swallowed into the belly by another monster to satisfy its tongue.

The scorching power is crumbling.

Dressed in an "anti-phoenix trench coat", Mason simply raised his hand and waved it to dissipate the black arc light, and he strode towards Madeleine's corpse.

The burned bones were scattered in ashes in the shaking of the world's collapse, and Mason crouched down to remove the ashes, in which he searched for something.

At the same time, in Madeleine's mental world, in the midst of the collapse of everything, in the warm living room, Emma held the weak Madeleine in her arms and hummed a lullaby for her, as if to coax her daughter, who had been miserable all her life, to sleep peacefully.

"I'm leaving."

The Red Queen closed her eyes in Emma's arms, she could feel the call of death, and she whispered as she became irresistibly weak:

"You're a good mother, it's a pity I met you too late."

"Don't be afraid, kid."

Emma bowed her head and kissed the dissipating Madeleine on the forehead, and she said:

"We finally meet again in the world of the dead, and at that point, I'll try to be a good mother, I promise."

"I wasn't looking forward to the future."

Madeleine's last consciousness dissipated like a soap bubble, and she whispered in Emma's ear:

"But please give me a glimpse of the new world Mason has brought to life, if we can meet again there."

She's gone.

The White Queen got up in amazement, looked at the collapsed room, and wiped her eyes to retract her spiritual power when she saw her daughter on her last journey.

But in the next second, Emma suddenly turned around.

She saw it

It was Mason's last gift to Madeleine.
