Chapter 313 12 The End of the World Is Just a Drizzle. Mason Experienced It when He Was a Baby.

Chapter 313 12. The end of the world is just drizzle. Mason experienced it when he was a baby.

"Not to mention why you want me to destroy your, uh, our hometown along the way, you should at least tell me what happened there, and why I had this card on me when I was sent to Gotham?"

Mason, who was bound by the noose, sat on a chair and looked at the master swordsman in front of him, whose wrists were also bound by the noose. The two of them seemed to be playing a somewhat perverted game.

He didn't show too much surprise when he heard the latter's request. He just asked calmly:

"And what do you mean by the 'recycling operation' you just mentioned? This matter is full of doubts. I really don't dare to act immediately until you make it clear."

"Oh, how can you, a man, take care of your mother-in-law?"

The swordsman was a little troubled.

However, Mason’s request was reasonable, so she thought about it and answered:

"It's not that I won't tell you, I don't know the specific situation very well. Don't show such an expression, I didn't lie to you! I was still in limbo the night the incident happened.

By the time I received the news and rushed back to the human world, a nuclear war had already broken out.

80% of the entire world was plowed by nuclear bombs, and the demons and demons responsible for collecting people in hell that night were almost exhausted.

Every level of hell is full, and I heard it’s the same over at Heaven Mountain. And in the chaotic days after the war, before I could gather my compatriots to understand, people from another world suddenly appeared.

And they call themselves the ‘Council of Hope’, a disaster relief organization from another world, including some of our ‘compatriots from another world’. "

Liana sighed.

She didn't hide her experience, she casually grabbed a ball of black energy that turned into flying ghost claws, grabbed the half-drunk wine she had placed on her desk, and took a big gulp.

Under Mason's gaze, she quickly said the next thing:

"The world was in chaos at the time, and no one knew what those people were doing. When we were calling people to prepare for possible conflicts, they first expressed goodwill.

Another Professor

I hate her.

But after she died during a special operation a few years ago, I realized I didn't really hate her that much.

In short, after a series of contacts between the two sides, those of us were transferred as refugees out of the world that had been abandoned by the war. We call this the ‘Great Transfer’.

It lasted a full five months before it finally ended.

At that time, there was no convenient World Gate, nor was there the Society of Stars.

That was the first time I learned about the existence of the Hope Council. Later, I was selected by the tribe to become a representative and joined the subsequently formally formed Star Council, and rose all the way to my current position.

Well, that was already seventeen years ago. Just half a year before the first impact, according to the development history of our parent organization, that stage was still in their infancy, and the Great Transfer Operation was what they were doing. The most successful attempt since the beginning of the doomsday era.

That's when I met Hunter.

Tsk tsk, she was still very young at that time, following her parents like a little follower. She rescued some young mutants from the ruins, namely Anna and the others.

Later, Anna took the mutants who were rescued back then and joined the Society of the Stars to work with her. "

"Do you really believe this kind of 'doomsday divine revelation' story?"

Mason narrowed his eyes and asked:

"You never doubted them?"

"I know what you mean."

The swordsman took a sip of wine, shook his head and said:

"But it has nothing to do with the Hope Council that our hometown has entered the end of civilization. The nuclear war that destroyed order and civilization was not instigated by them.

At that time, the main body of the World Gate had not yet been cast. They had no way to intervene on a large scale. They did not have the ability, you know?

At that time, they used the Infinity Gauntlet and cooperated with many superhuman beings who could travel between the worlds to barely open a transfer channel to connect the two worlds.

I have also conducted secret investigations over the years.

Everything that happened in their hometown fits the definition of "war within the planet" that the stars would define, and they indeed played the role of "saviors" seventeen years ago.

At least on the surface.

The data was severely lost during the big transfer. Mason, your suspicions cannot be confirmed without evidence. "

"All right."

Mason frowned, and after thinking for a moment he asked:

"As for the organization behind you, you said before that you would not accept the old Green Goblin's request for contact because he is not one of your own. Therefore, this organization only accepts mutants, right?

Do you have any countermeasures in case of impact?

I mean, you can't just gather everyone together and wait to die, right? You must find a way to save yourself or something like that. "

"Yes, and we have been moving forward."

The swordsman waved his hand, and she stood up and said:

"But I can't tell you yet. Your X gene is still recessive. Theoretically speaking, you are just an ordinary person at the moment. I have to wait until you truly become one of my own before I can take you to Utopia.

As for you being sent away during the nuclear war and the 'recycling operation' implemented after the establishment of Utopia, this is not my responsibility.

I just know there is such a thing.

But as far as I know, the Akers team on the hunter side, that is, Anna and the others, carried out the recovery operation more than ten years ago. I will help you contact her and prove your identity.

She will tell you more.

I think you have also seen, Mason, that I am basically a hands-off shopkeeper. Unlike the hunters who insist on doing big things even though they are obviously incompetent, I am very accurate about my situation.

I basically don't get involved in things that I can't control, so my little life has been quite comfortable so far. "

The swordsman released the noose that bound Mason, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Go back and prepare. When you are ready, I will send you to our hometown.

In addition, I heard that the Warlock has placed an A-level personnel on guard duty in our home world. His true identity is unknown, but his code name is ‘Commander’, so you have to be careful.

Bring the gun!

The more the better. Do you need me to find some people to go with you? "

The swordsman brushed his long golden hair and said enthusiastically:

"I can gather a team of three A-level members. This time it's our own business. There's no reason why they can't come forward."

"Are there three of us in the Council of Twelve?"

Mason raised his eyebrows and said in surprise:

"Will the power of mutants be so strong in the stars? Based on this ratio, do we also have a say in the higher-level organizations?"

"Uh, this is just so-so."

The swordsman curled his lips and said:

"It doesn't matter how powerful it is. Maybe it's just because we joined early? As a veteran-level force, we must have some preferential treatment. There are two places for us in the parliament, but both of them are in the hands of the X royal family.

They are not the same people as us.

In the mutant community, those of us who have lost our hometowns, our leaders, and even the X-Men have all been wiped out, cannot be compared to the ‘regular army’. "

"I have one last question!"

The hat on Mason's head moved. He stretched out his hand to comfort him, then looked at the swordsman in front of him and asked seriously:

"A year ago, to be precise, a year and seven months ago, did you carry out a private mission to invade a wizarding world and search for something called the Philosopher's Stone?

According to the description of the notes left by the person involved, Scarlet Witch and Storm Girl should be involved. "

"I don't know about that."

The swordsman spread his hands without changing his expression and said:

"You gave me too little information. Utopia houses too many mutants from all worlds, including more than five Scarlet Witches of various ages and mental states.

There are more Stormmaidens.

We have Black Storm, White Storm, Short Hair Storm, Sexy Storm, Granny Storm, Girly Storm and Baby Storm.

Some of them were assigned to serve as war inspectors in the Conqueror sequence. That was a privilege won by the X royal family, but there and the stars are two different systems, so I generally don't ask about these things.

If you really care about this, could I look it up for you? "

"Forget it, it's not a big deal."

Mason smiled, waved his hand and said:

"The world has been destroyed by the third impact. I just asked casually, so be it. I'll go back to prepare and wait for Miss Anna's visit, and then I'll ask you to send me there."

"Um."

The swordsman nodded with satisfaction, personally sent Mason to the door of the office and warned:

"Remember to keep it secret. Although our existence is not a secret in the entire organization, you must have a special status. It is good to reduce the attention a little bit.

I heard that you are very trouble-making. Although I am not afraid of trouble, you should try to keep a low profile. "

She reminded:

"Don't do things like that in the Isu world. You don't know. Those things have left a psychological shadow on me."

"That's not something I can control. I'm not very lucky in this regard."

Mason felt deeply helpless, and then said goodbye to the swordsman. He left the top floor of Star Castle and entered the elevator with a normal expression. The moment the elevator door closed, the hat on his head said mutely:

"She's lying! She knows that! When you asked her, her magic from hell changed slightly, secretly but I could feel it.

That's what mutants do!

Mason, it's your people who ruined my world! Just for a few magic stones! "

"Shh!"

Mason made a gesture to silence himself. He narrowed his eyes and whispered:

"Keep a low profile, hat. We'll investigate this matter later."

The swordsman who sent Mason away looked ugly and opened her drawer in the office and took out a crystal for communication. After connecting to a certain communication, she cursed at the other side:

"Look at the good things you are doing over there! I said at the beginning that the X royal family are a group of extreme warmongers, and I should be responsible for finding things.

I have a lot of sneaky talents, you have to do it yourselves!

Now there is trouble. It seems that our new compatriots have a good relationship with the world that you ruined. I almost leaked the secret just now, but fortunately I hid it well. "

"Swordsman, you know the situation at that time."

A hoarse man's voice came from opposite Jingshi, he said:

"There is no room for us to waste time in that situation. The situation of the Supreme Professor has just stabilized. This matter is absolutely secret. Don't talk about it with your big mouth.

Don't put any more pressure on him.

If this new compatriot insists on resisting us for this reason, then let him go, Utopia is all about him. You know, this is about the interests of our species. In this era, we don't have so much energy to pay attention to other people's feelings. "

"Humph, he is different from others. He is my little compatriot and comes from the same place as me. I will not let you bully him!"

The swordsman replied forcefully. Then she hesitated and said:

"The third impact has ended, so what is the result of the experiment that Professor Supreme and his colleagues have been promoting?"

There was silence for a moment and he said:

"Failed.

It's clear that the fusion of worlds is not just about the reshaping of magnetic fields and planets. We have lost a Magneto and many compatriots who manipulated the earth.

Alas, may their sacrifices buy a future for the troubled mutants. "

——

"I heard that you made big news again, Mason. All Mr. Hunter's vassal teams were dispatched, and even the staff of the Star Castle were deployed to support the secret operation.

It was only through my connections that I found out that it was related to you.

Are you a natural troublemaker? "

In the alchemy factory on the second floor of the Castle of Stars, Edward Elric, a short man with blond hair, held a glass of juice and said jokingly to Mason, who was sitting opposite him and looking through a stack of drawings:

"Al and I have never seen anyone so capable of causing trouble in all our years in the Star Club."

"The most amazing thing is that you managed to escape unscathed time and time again!"

The ghost-like brother in armor brought freshly squeezed juice to Mason, and he was also very surprised and said:

"You are really lucky in terms of escape, and it only took you more than two months to go from D-level to C-level to B-level. This is an incredible achievement.

The reputation of Team K has become increasingly popular among the ronai, and many friends have asked us to ask for connections to see if we can join you. "

"Team K currently has no plans to recruit new members."

Mason smiled humbly, picked up the drawing in front of him, and said to Brother Elric:

"I want all of these. Although they are ordinary objects, they are not bad for practicing. But don't tell me that this is the extent of your collection?

Give me something powerful to look at. "

"You want something powerful? Okay, we just have it on hand. Let's bring it to your eyes."

Edward and his brother looked at each other. The two brothers mysteriously took out a small box from the hidden compartment of the alchemy factory and placed it in front of Mason.

When the box was opened, Mason's eyes immediately widened.

He almost jumped when he looked at the blood-red irregular crystal, but he remained calm. As the two brothers watched, he reached out and touched the surface of the crystal to pick it up and examine it carefully.

The information label pops up quickly:

Philosopher's Stone/Weak Philosopher's Stone

Quality: Epic alchemy product·Exquisite craftsmanship

Traits: Unstable·Low-level reality rewriting·Alchemy medium

Producer: Edward Elric

Item Description: Although it looks very similar, the gap between it and the genuine Philosopher's Stone is as hopeless as the gap between the stupid Mason Cooper and the great me.

hint!

This item is a downgraded product of the magic stone. Although it can also be regarded as a top-level transformation agent, its ability to join the alchemy process is weakened and the number of uses is reduced to [1/1].

Weak magic stone blueprints are included. Alchemy level 7 is required to make this item.

"Is this a downgraded version?"

Mason put the blood-colored crystal in his hand into the box. He looked at the Elric brothers and said with surprise:

"You actually made this level of magic stone in less than a month. You are truly a genius alchemist. Compared with you, I really have a pair of pig's hooves."

"Don't say that, Mason. Without the drawings and samples you provided, there is no way for us to get past the technical reserve stage. From this point of view, this thing is made by the three of us together."

Edward didn't hide anything.

He signaled his brother to hand over the complete alchemical transformation blueprint to Mason, and then said to him:

"The Philosopher's Stone, which was produced without sacrificing human life, can be regarded as a dream come true for us. However, the cost of producing it is high, and the attempts during this period almost bankrupted both of us.

Next, we have to figure out the process of the elixir, but it is really a headache to be unable to collect the materials due to the lack of money. "

Having said this, Al placed a large number of orders in front of Mason with a bang and said:

"So, these orders are troublesome for you, Mason. Although I have to borrow your labor, the money earned through the orders will be used to explore the formula, and we will share these mysteries with you."

"so much!"

Mason looked at the order in front of him that reached his waist and said with a headache:

"It will take me at least half a month to finish this. After doing this, I won't have time to do other things."

"There's no reward for this."

Edward smiled mischievously, reached out and pushed the weak magic stone in front of him towards Mason, and said:

"I know you're under a lot of pressure, so you can use it first. Remember to make experimental records and send them back. I'll see if I can modify the process or something."

"Deathly."

Mason rubbed his head, put away the huge amount of business orders in front of him, and looked at the two brothers again.

He rolled his eyes and said:

"You don't like Star Castle, so why do you stay here all day? Why don't you go to a good place with me? I won't force you to join Team K, but we are already friends.

Let's go.

Come to my place?"
