Chapter 215 13: The War when All Things Finally Perish
Chapter 215 13. Respect the war at the end of all things
"I heard you wanted to see me?"
Mason took off his helmet and maneuvered the heavy anti-Superman suit into the house on the dock.
In this place blocked by monster pirates, Captain Barbossa, who used to dress like an upper class person, is now in a state of despair.
The luxurious robe he was wearing was still stained with blood, and he didn't know whether it belonged to others or his own.
When Mason walked in, he was sitting by the window of a messy house, grabbing a large bottle of rum and drinking it in big gulps, as if he wanted to numb his fear in this way.
But it doesn't seem to be very good in terms of effect.
The wig was thrown to the ground, the scepter was broken, the coat of arms and flags he carefully designed for his kingdom were also torn to pieces, and there was a crown covered with dust at the foot of his wooden legs.
This image is vividly the last indulgence of a man whose dream has been shattered, and all he needs is a few girls or a eunuch to serve him.
"Ha, Mason, the wizard who brings hope, the bastard who predicts doom."
Barbossa raised his head drunkenly, and when he saw Mason, he laughed and tried to get up, but stumbled and fell back on the chair.
After all, he is old and no longer as brave as he once was.
"They want me to go fight with them! Those damn monsters, I knew I should change them all back when I got the trident.
But I made a mistake.
My stupidity has brought me today's humiliation, my crew has been killed, my ship has been commandeered, hell, Will Turner is going to turn it into another ghost ship too.
And he had no idea what he was going to do. "
"No, I think he knows. He knows exactly what he wants to do, but you are a little confused."
Mason couldn't squat while wearing the armor, but the internal suspension system of this thing in the standing position allowed Mason to maintain a very comfortable posture and relax his whole body.
He stretched out his metal-covered gauntlet and picked up the wine bottle next to Barbossa.
As an engineer, an alchemist, and a new jewelry apprentice, Mason didn't like this kind of drink that would reduce his self-control. But seeing Barbossa in front of him so lost, Mason thought that maybe drinking a little with him would help the old man. Pirates regain their last dignity
If he really had that.
"Ahem"
Mason tried to take a sip. The alcohol that only an old pirate could enjoy was a bit too strong and made him cough out. Barbossa looked at him with contempt.
The latter snatched his own good wine from Mason's robot gauntlet, drank a few sips, and then wiped his beard covered with wine stains.
He gasped and stared at Mason, saying like an angry old bull:
“I’m going to die today, either in the hands of Will Turner or in the hands of those crazy foreign dogs who don’t know when they will come, so I won’t hide some things.
I'm so grateful to you for giving me a good dream before the end, Mason, you foreign bastard!
But I also paid you, so there is no favor between us.
I entrusted you with my daughter, and you must take good care of her, just as you helped take care of that bastard Jack and Will Turner's wife and children.
If they can trust you, then I feel like I can too.
Serena is a good child, and I promised that my daughter could become a princess. Alas, this damn world has shattered the last dreams of a repentant old man.
Damn the doomsday! "
"Don't worry, Barbossa Hector."
Mason changed his title and said:
"I have taken in so many people, and your daughter is not the least of them. I will arrange a new life for her so that she can get rid of everything in the past and swim in the ocean of knowledge. I think that is what she wants.
In fact, I also have a gift for you. "
He took out two bottles of potion from his bag and placed them in front of Barbossa, one red, one blue, and a syringe.
Mason said:
"The red one is the potion I prepared myself. It has the same properties as the enhancements I gave you before. It can make you have strong combat power in a short period of time, but the cost is very painful.
The blue one is poison.
One shot is effective, allowing you to die painlessly in a sweet dream.
I can't take you away.
Neither Will nor Old Teague would allow it. They believed that if you were the Pirate King, you must abide by the Pirate Code, and there was indeed an article in the Code that in critical moments, all pirates must obey the Pirate King's orders.
Now that Will Turner is the Pirate King, you all must follow him into battle.
But for the sake of our happy cooperation in the past, I will give you these two things so that you can have a decent ending whether you choose to embark on the battlefield or end your life here.
No matter which one you choose, I would tell Serena that her father died a heroic death. "
"Hey, do you think my smart daughter will believe your lies?"
Barbossa pouted and said:
"She is the smartest child I have ever met. She persuaded me to maintain a relationship with you when she first met you. She seemed to have guessed all this early.
But I still have to thank you, Mason. "
The old pirate raised his head and drank tons of wine from the bottle. After Mason turned around and left, the old pirate's eyes fell on the two bottles of potion on the table.
Hector Barbossa stretched out his hand and held the blue medicine bottle tremblingly, but instead of drinking it, he inserted the medicine into his belt, picked up the syringe and the red medicine and stood up.
After taking a few breaths, he slammed the wine bottle in his hand to the ground.
Glass was broken and drinks were splashing everywhere. The legendary pirate seemed to have made up his mind. He picked up the old hat he wore in the past and put it on his head. He picked up his sword and flintlock and limped open the door.
The rolling seawater before his eyes had become like a high wall, blocking out the sky and the sun, and was bound by the power of the sea goddess Colypso to surround the dock.
This fantastic scene should have attracted attention, but Barbossa didn't even look at it.
He took out the last green apple from his pocket and put it to his mouth, smacking it with juice. Then he yelled at Will Turner and Old Teague who were looking at him:
"I'm half-lying in a coffin, and I still have to fight with you bastards. It's really unlucky! Where is my ship? How can I go to war without a ship?"
——
"They're coming!"
The Cleaners did not keep Team K and Poseidon waiting for too long. Almost five hours after the impact incident entered the preparatory stage, Mason felt something moving at the gate of his world.
According to Mr. Hunter, the Liquidator Legion's war across the world also relies on the World Gate of the Star Society as a guidepost. The Caribbean world has been the exclusive world of Team K before, so the Liquidators have to go through K to enter here. The team's World Gate coordinates are used to locate the team.
Therefore, the moment they approached, the tattoo on Mason's arm sent a "warning" like a pinprick.
The only regret is that Mason was unable to prevent the Liquidators from landing by closing the world gate. He gave an order and the members of Team K immediately entered combat readiness.
Zha Kang, who was driving the zombie dragon, was the first to go out majestically, holding Grindelwald's Black Magic Book, holding a coral trident, and wearing a cracked magical floating cloak.
This appearance alone qualifies him as a legendary archmage.
And Captain Jack threw away the cigarette butt from the corner of his mouth and swooped into the Batmobile. He knew that his combat effectiveness was poor, so he took the initiative to assume the responsibilities at the rear of the battlefield.
He wants to wander around the ruined city to ensure that the transfer gate that is still passing through will not be disturbed.
Five hours is not enough time for all the refugees here to pass. Although there are only the last survivors left in this world, their number is around hundreds of thousands.
The Cleaners are a group of genetically modified biochemical mad dogs.
Once they are thrown into the battlefield, they will not care about humanitarianism. If they come near these people, they will definitely be finished.
Barbara and Ertun jumped into the two cockpits of the Devil Lizard tank, one on the left and the other on the right. The onboard AI Draman activated the autopilot, making the all-terrain tank start close to the ruins. The optical camouflage module was activated to make the huge The weapons of war have become optically invisible.
This is not the first time these two have manipulated this thing, and they are already very comfortable with it.
A few seconds later, the drone nest behind the Demon Lizard tank was activated under the control of Barbara, and more than 200 military "Griffin" drones densely surrounded the Demon Lizard.
There are also extra-large Zeta octants that are placed on city docks and used as fixed turrets.
These two gadgets are not civilian drones like "Pterodactyl".
They are killing machines from the world of 2077.
Although they are not large in appearance, they are equipped with full-power kinetic energy rapid-fire cannons and lethal-level electric shock cannons. Their all-terrain intelligent enemy tracking and ruthless shooting accuracy that ignores battlefield ethics have made them the favorite weapons of commanders.
Cheap enough and durable enough, Mason also modified them so that they would explode with an EMP blast when destroyed.
For the Cleaners' transformation method of implanting prosthetics to enhance combat effectiveness, this attack that directly impacts the prosthetic chip is obviously more effective and more vicious.
But this was inside the Demon Lizard Tank. Barbara's control mode made the second barrel next to her feel somewhat frightened.
Because a data cable was popping out of Bat Girl's arm that was just like a normal person's and connected to the tank. She was lying in the cockpit with her eyes closed, relying entirely on the data interface to command and control her drone army.
Apparently, after returning from the world of Isu assassins, she "upgraded" herself without telling Mason and others.
"Did you replace your own hands?"
Ergong was sitting in the self-driving war vehicle. While taking the time to polish his weapons and apply Mason's special combat sword oil, he whispered:
"Grayson will definitely be scared to death when he sees this. We let his crazy girlfriend turn himself into a robot. What a crime."
"Just don't tell him no! Jason."
Barbara, who had her eyes closed as if sleeping, scolded:
"I can hear everything, and the biometric monitoring shows that your heartbeat is accelerating. What? Does a cold-blooded killer like you feel nervous?"
"nonsense."
Er Tong looked at the special material cockpit in front of him that was clearly covered with armor but could be observed in a 360° panoramic view. He whispered:
"I'm going to assassinate a god soon, and I can't miss it. Who wouldn't be nervous about this job? The enemies Team K faces are getting more and more outrageous, and I'm still a mortal.
What the hell. "
"The target appears! In the sky ahead, prepare to hide!"
Mason's warning interrupted all Er Tong's complaints. When his voice fell, a door like a wormhole suddenly opened in the sky that was already occupied by the reflection of the world.
Then three giant warships that looked like black monster fish swayed into this world covered with clouds and storms.
This thing is two circles smaller than the one they killed at Old Spider, and it is obviously a more flexible assault landing design.
"What is that?"
Zha Kang shouted, and Mason said in an indifferent tone:
"'Cosmic Locust' Chitauri plundering ship! I recognized that ship when Etrigan destroyed it last time. Be careful, those ships themselves also have biological consciousness.
To put it simply, they are alive! "
"Boom"
The dazzling lightning mixed with the sudden rise of the storm momentarily obscured Team K's vision. This was the first attack launched by the angry sea goddess Colypso.
As the God of Poseidon, she could naturally control storms and thunder. In anger, this blow tore through the sky like the legendary Poseidon's Trident and hit the fish-shaped spacecraft at the front.
The latter was like a giant beast bathed in thunder. A strike from the gods caused electric sparks and dazzling explosions to explode all over its body.
The Chitauri plundering airships mounted on this biological mothership also hurriedly broke away from the mothership like a swarm of bees, carrying those highly modified liquidators and mad dogs, and rushed towards the giants displayed in the tide. Posture of colypso.
Thunder and lightning flashed, clouds gathered, and the giantess holding the thunder roared and tore apart the black monster fish, while on the sea there was a death fleet composed of tattered ghost ships rolling out from under the water and firing wildly at the sky.
This scene really has the feel of a mythical war.
But before Mason took Team K to join the battle, he received a message from the hunter.
Maybe it's because the Cleaner Corps opened a wormhole to make the connection between this world and the outside world clearer, or maybe Ciri used some magical means. In short, this message was directly reflected in Mason's mind in the form of a spiritual dialogue. middle.
"Mason, the high-level conqueror sequences of the Cleaner Legion have now been sent to different vassal worlds to perform tasks. There is no need to worry about conquerors appearing during the first round of attacks.
But those troublemakers will definitely come in later and deal with Colypso as soon as possible. "
Probably because Mason saw through his identity, Mr. Hunter stopped playing the game of pretending to be a man and directly warned him in his cold female voice:
"All actions related to divinity will be taken seriously, so no matter what you are going to do, remember, don't leave alive!"
"Thanks, Ciri."
Mason controlled the Anti-Superman armor with all his strength to activate the gravity well and rushed toward a Chitauri mothership with full firepower in the sky. He asked:
"I've been busy here and haven't had time to care about my base world. How is the situation there?"
"I'm not your agent, Mason!"
The hunter said unhappily:
"If you want to know, go and see for yourself! I'm very busy right now. There are 37 dangerous worlds waiting for me to support. How can I have time to help you collect information?
However, your base world is Transcendent A Grade, so don’t worry, it will most likely pass easily, as long as the superheroes in your world can make up their mind.
Don't be such a mother-in-law. "
"Determined to destroy a world?"
Mason hit a Chitauri plundering mothership like a black meteorite. He grabbed a huge armor plate with both hands and tore it off, and then controlled the two kinetic shotguns that popped out from the shoulders of the armor to blast the surrounding ones. The mad dog cleaners were blasted to pieces.
He shook his head with concern and said:
"If they did that, what difference would it make to the Association of Stars? This is a shameless ethical trap. Once you step into it, there is no way to turn back."
"Yes, it's a trap."
Shirley snorted and said:
"But if you don't do this, both worlds will die. Smart and kind-hearted Mason, can you come up with a perfect way to survive the impact without hurting everyone?"
Mason could only respond in silence.
A moment later, when he controlled the armor and entered the mothership with a large-caliber kinetic hand cannon, the faint voice of the hunter lady also came:
"Be realistic, Mason, even existence is a luxury in this dark era. Think on the bright side, at least your world can still exist, but the world under your feet has no hope.
Although the current situation is bad, it is better for one of them to survive than to die together.
This is at least an answer. "
"It was a mistake at best. It was never the answer in my mind."
Mason pulled the trigger, engulfing the group of mad dog sweepers in front of him in blazing flames.
Behind him, a strange twisted creature screamed and pounced on him. Mason then ejected the vibranium mantis knife from his arm and turned around, cutting it into pieces of flesh and blood. Amidst the sound of the huge bullet casing falling, he whispered:
"I will never accept that I will transform into a beast in the doomsday of the dark stars, and fight with a group of people who have no enmity against me for the most primitive existence.
That would be such a shame. "
"Then use your energy, survive, go further, and find the answers you want in this era that forces everyone to either die or become a monster, to prove that everything about this fucking thing is wrong."
Shirley said softly:
"I look forward to the day when you can come up with your own answers."
