Chapter 248 46 You Made Such a Big Fuss Just to Get This Broken Box. Why Didn’t You Tell Me Earlier?
Chapter 248 46. You made such a big scene just to want this broken box, you should have said it earlier!
During the time when Mason challenged the three giants of the Justice League, the fight between local spellcasters and foreign wizards had already become fierce.
The "Magic Development Brigade" that crossed the border had a slight advantage at first by attacking Doctor Fate and using various strange props, but after Batman opened the city monitoring system to Cyborg and the cyborg opened the "full map hang" for the magic allies, the situation suddenly turned around.
Especially after the host of the Mysterious House, Mrs. Shangdu, persuaded many people to join this magic war, the situation of the wizards became precarious.
What's worse is that they also split.
The Lighthouse Squad wanted to rush out of Gotham, but the Death Eaters were unwilling to give up the Philosopher's Stone that was right in front of them, and the two sides soon "separated their actions".
Well, this is a high EQ statement for internal strife.
In short, the great wizard Agilbert and his people escaped from Gotham before the local spellcasters completed the siege, and the remaining group hid in the complex terrain of the Gotham Island sewer system and planned to resist stubbornly.
At this time in the sewer, the local spellcasters led by Black Adam and Zatanna were trying to break the rune defense barrier propped up by the wizards in front of them.
But this kind of magic with divine power is much more difficult than ordinary magic. The characteristic of self-contained energy counterattack makes it as difficult to break as an armored dragon turtle.
"Xuan Lan sent a message that the disturbance of time and space from the outside is intensifying, and it is constantly trying to restart the world gate suppressed by Doctor Fate."
Zatanna waved her magic wand to weaken the golden light stream in front of her. She shouted to Black Adam, who was punching the runes beside her to make the golden and blue lightnings constantly collide:
"We must speed up."
"How can this be accelerated?"
Black Adam, who was called from Kandak by Doctor Fate to fight, kept punching and using his divine lightning to eliminate the divine runes in front of him. Wrapped in lightning, he frowned and said:
"Unless you can dissipate these tricky divinities now, otherwise you can only consume them bit by bit like this. Zatanna, you understand the power of divinity that is higher than reality. You know that once it is formed, it is difficult to dissipate in a short time.
Doctor Fate may have a way, but he is obviously not counted on after being attacked.
But who caused this situation now?
If you didn't forbid me to use lethal force."
"We need prisoners, not corpses. "
Zatanna, who was vented, immediately retorted:
"We need intelligence, not a meaningless victory. You also participated in the previous operation, Black Adam, you know how difficult the situation we are facing is."
"Intelligence?"
Black Adam swung his fist again, breaking a suspended golden rune, and sneered:
"Batman's 'little follower' who tricked us has enough intelligence in his head, but he chose to hide it from us. In my opinion, it is better to deal with Mason Cooper first than to waste time here with these wizards.
Thoth's wisdom gave me intuition about unknown matters.
And my intuition tells me that all our questions now can be answered from Mason, you know? Zatanna, I think we are wasting time.
I think we have been tricked.
I think all this is a game!"
"Well said! But I have paid, so you have to work!"
Mason's voice sounded from the dim sewer behind the two of them, making Black Adam turn around suddenly.
He saw the scene where Mason, with disheveled hair and a messy face, appeared with the help of Harley Quinn, who was also in a mess but with a big smile.
The young man obviously appreciated Black Adam's reasoning based on intuition, but Black Adam would not be polite to him.
The moment Mason appeared, the king of Kandak called for thunder to pounce on Mason. He wanted to capture this cunning kid to end the headache-inducing chaos tonight.
The moment he approached, Mason's eyes shot out heat rays like two shock waves to disintegrate Black Adam's thunder, and then punched forward with superman's strength, punching the magic king who was confidently planning to pick up a head and sending him flying.
The latter hit the rune barrier that was constantly shining behind him, and the collision of huge power broke another rune, causing the tricky divine power to dissipate a little.
The black death sword armor on Mason's finger smelled the delicious divinity on Black Adam and was eager to try. It told Mason that it could help him kill the guy who dared to sneak attack him at any time.
It was not the right time for Mason to appease it.
He stared at the golden rune covering a large area in front of him. The superhuman perspective ability was activated, allowing him to see a group of wizards hiding in this barrier and the star-emitting world gate in the middle of them.
"You'd better calm down, barbaric ancients."
Mason looked at the expiration time of the potion on his watch. There were less than three minutes left. He said to the two spellcasters in front of him:
"Maybe you don't believe it, but I'm here to help. The target you are chasing is not desperate to hide here. As wizards, they know how the world gate works.
The status of each world gate will be monitored by the projection core of the Star Fortress.
Once it loses control, the core will immediately intervene and continuously enhance its power until the connection is reopened. What's worse is that they have just upgraded the projection core due to some unexpected encounters before."
He looked at Zatanna.
These words were obviously meant for Zack.
Although the two had only met once before when Batman asked her to save someone, Mason had a good impression of Zack.
On the one hand, this beautiful girl with trendy clothes in front of him was the dream lover of Zack forever, and on the other hand, Zack and the old man had a deep relationship since childhood.
He did not think Zack was an enemy, and Zatanna did not immediately follow Black Adam to attack him, which seemed to indicate that the other party was also hesitant.
He emphasized:
"Unless you have a strange object that can isolate time and space for a long time, the gate of the world can only be suppressed temporarily. These wizards will hold on until that thing restarts, and the traps you set for them tonight will all be ineffective.
You obviously need a little help, Zatanna.
Look, do you want a group of prisoners who can be tortured? Or do you want to fight with me here to waste time so that the villains you have been chasing can escape?"
"Mr. K is very powerful!"
Harley beside Mason waved a baseball bat viciously, and took out a clown bomb that made a sharp laugh and swung it in her hand. She grinned and threatened:
"He can knock you down with just his fists, and I will take the opportunity to "make up" your pretty face, lovely magician."
Black Adam climbed up from the ground and touched his painful cheek. The gloomy God of Power and Zatanna looked at each other, and then they looked at the wizards who were waiting in the barrier behind them.
A few seconds later, Black Adam stepped back and made a "please" gesture.
Mason stepped forward quickly.
He did not punch the barrier in front of him.
Superman's power is not divine, and brute force can break it, but it is a waste of time.
He stretched out his left hand and placed it on the surface of the golden rune barrier. The Black Death Sword Armor Ring on his finger swallowed it like a glutton the moment it touched.
In just ten seconds, the rune that was originally as solid as a rock collapsed like a high-rise building with an unstable foundation, leaving the wizards who were resting inside looking at each other in bewilderment.
What happened?
The magic bestowed by the Queen of Heaven, Ms. Frigga, was broken just like that?
This is divine magic!
It's not the cabbage that can be seen everywhere on the street!
Seeing the golden light that was as stable as heaven turned into thunder and dissipated, the wizards shouted in their hearts that this was not magic at all, and they also grabbed their wands and started to fight desperately.
However, what greeted them was a whole bag of clown bombs thrown forward by Harley.
These things with crude clown heads painted on the surface exploded as soon as they landed, not only with fire and fragments, but also with green clown gas spreading everywhere.
Amid the continuous coughing, some injured wizards couldn't help but show strange smiles on their cheeks. They were still fighting back, but Mason and Black Adam had already turned into two lightning bolts and rushed into the crowd to kill.
Zatanna also wanted to rush in, but was pulled by Harley and dragged back desperately.
This cute little white wizard didn't understand the horror of the clown gas. Even if these wizards who inhaled the gas survived by chance, they would become complete lunatics.
The Sorting Hat, which turned into a breathing filter and covered Mason's face, roared, and cheered every time Mason punched a wizard.
At this moment, it was very grateful to have found Mason, a powerful "partner", so that it could achieve two incredible victories in just over a month in the revenge that it had originally expected to take a long time to complete.
"Bang"
The great wizard Igor, who was hiding in the crowd, just raised the stone spear ornament in his hand and aimed at the Black Adam who was bursting with divine power in the crowd, intending to launch another fatal sneak attack.
But before the stone spear was launched, his head was grabbed from behind and hit against the wall.
Blood flashed in the splashing bricks and stones. If the perpetrator had not shown mercy, this collision alone would have been enough to make the old wizard's skull explode.
"Tell me! Where did you hide the endless box of the great wizard Newt Scamander?"
Mason didn't waste any words. He seized every minute and every second before the Superman potion expired. He first broke one-third of the bones of the old bastard's body and then began to ask questions.
He held up this guy who betrayed his world and had a bad criminal record. His tone was very cold and not gentle at all.
The sorting hat on his cheek also protruded a vague human face and roared, as if Mason had two faces, which looked so hideous in the area full of clown poison gas.
Behind Mason was a group of wizards lying in all directions.
Black Adam discovered that the danger of the poison gas was dragging them out of this shaky area, and he kept exchanging glances with Zatanna to stop Mason Cooper from leaving.
No matter in public or private, the two spellcasters could not allow Mason to escape from here so easily.
Mason knew that there would be a battle between him and these two.
But he didn't care.
"Who are you!"
Igor, the former principal of Durmstrang School of Magic and a senior Death Eater, was tough. Even if he was beaten like a dead dog, he was still unwilling to reveal information with his hair disheveled and his face covered with blood.
The bloodshot eyes stared at Mason and the Sorting Hat on his face, probably guessing the relationship between this guy in front of him and Hogwarts.
He laughed lowly as if he was ready to die, and said hoarsely:
"Kill me, I won't reveal any secrets. The power of the Star Society is like a curse that locks my soul. You are also one of us, and you should also know our taboos.
It would be kinder to me if you broke my neck here. "
"Well said! But I have no interest in the dirty secrets in your head! I don't give a damn what you're thinking!"
Mason raised him in front of him and shouted:
"Let me ask you for the last time, where is the Infinity Box of Newt the Great Wizard?"
Hearing Mason ask about the whereabouts of the box for the second time, Igor confirmed that the guy in front of him who had almost tricked them to death really just wanted to get the old suitcase.
There was no terrifying conspiracy at all, and there was not much personal grudge at all. The fact that it was just about a broken box made the great wizard feel like ten thousand grass-mud horses running past.
Although his body was in terrible pain, and although inhaling the clown gas gave him a headache, he couldn't help but roar at this moment:
"Is this why you tricked us into trapping us? Just for a broken box that can't be opened at all? How much money did those undead people who went to hell give you to do this kind of thing?
You are so crazy about trapping and killing your companions, aren't you afraid of the liquidation of the Star Council? "
"Of course I'm afraid, but what's the use of being afraid?"
Mason picked up the old wizard and dragged him out of the area covered in clown gas like a barking dog with a broken spine.
The blood stretched behind him into a dazzling look, and he said:
"When I stepped into the Stars Club, I felt that there was no turning back, and to be honest, killing you shameless traitors can only be regarded as a 'perk' of my job.
Hand over that box, Igor, and in the name of Hogwarts, I promise to let you go. "
"You think I'd believe it?"
The old wizard with a bloody head sneered.
He glanced back at the projection of the World Gate that was destroyed by Black Adam with a bolt of lightning, and finally waved his finger with a hint of loneliness and regret.
A box that looked almost exactly like Mason's magic suitcase crashed to the ground, sending up a few plumes of smoke.
He had a premonition that his death was coming, so he lowered his head and said:
"I don't know what's in that box, but since you and the Sorting Hat had such a big fight to get it, I probably guessed the truth. Since they are alive, let them continue to live.
Although living in this era is not a lucky thing.
I can't predict the future, but without a doubt, I'm just one step ahead, Mason Cooper! You won't get far and I'll be waiting for you in hell.
May my death please the dark stars and illuminate our way forward."
"puff"
The sharp blade was swung up, and the head flew down.
Mason ended the conversation before he could finish speaking. The black batarang easily sliced open the neck with the help of superhuman strength, letting the traitor's blood spill to the ground.
He picked up the polished stone gun ornament from the pool of blood next to the headless corpse and whispered:
"The Meeting of the Stars is never an answer. It is at most a mistake. As for your death, I'm sorry, the Stars don't care."
The moment he said these words, all the superhuman strength in Mason's body quickly dissipated and collapsed like a deflated balloon.
He covered his mouth.
But the continuous coughing caused blood to pour out, and soon his hands were stained red.
This scene made Black Adam grinning and made Zatanna look worried. She wanted to step forward, but Harley put a gun to her chin and dragged her back.
"Xiao Zha, cute little Zha."
Harley whispered to Zatanna in her high-pitched voice:
"This is all part of Mr. K's plan. The big black man wants a beating. You, a good girl, don't get involved."
"Take it easy, Mason Cooper."
Black Adam was suspended in the air, and the divine power from the Seven Gods of Egypt turned into thunder and surrounded him, making him look like a god. He scolded with a majestic voice and dropped lightning to turn into a cage to restrain Mason.
The young man didn't even look at him.
He just picked up the gray suitcase next to him, reached out and patted the dust on the outer shell of the thing.
He stroked it and sighed:
"One-third of the reason why everything happened tonight is because of you. Oh, I hope that when I am in trouble in the future, there will be powerful heroes to save me like I saved you."
"There will be, Mason."
The hat reverted to a mask and whispered something, making Mason grin.
Then he looked up at Black Adam, who had a winning chance. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, threw the box to Harley and motioned for her to take Zha and leave quickly.
The current battle situation is so suitable, and the enemy is so generous, it would be unreasonable for him not to use a big move.
He stood up weakly while holding on to the wall. As the black substance on his fingers squirmed, Mason no longer suppressed the hunger and malice of the Black Death Sword. He said hoarsely:
"First of all I want to stress that I don't like men but you, Adam, you are delicious"
