Chapter 401 16 Trash Kang! I Came to the Holy of Holies and You Are Not Here at All! Where the Hell Are You? [1620]

Chapter 401 16. Zha Kang! I have come to the Holy of Holies and you are not here at all! Where the hell are you? 【1620】

After everything was arranged, Mason returned to New York alone.

He was brought back by Nightcrawler just like when he went there. Agent Brand stayed at the Mutant Academy to help with the relocation and waited for news about Fury. With the X-Men confirming their participation in the war, the forces of both sides in this confrontation are returning to the balance. middle.

But that's not Mason's concern right now.

"You can't go any further."

Because of Mason's help to the academy, Nightcrawler was very considerate and sent him directly to a few blocks outside the Sanctuary of New York.

The two landed on the top of a building in the dusk sunset. Nightwalker squatted on the eaves and pointed in the direction of the Holy of Holies. He said to Mason who took out his telescope:

"The mages have blocked the place, and any spatial fluctuations will be detected by them. When the professor was still there, we still had some contact with Kama Taj, but now the two sides are strangers.

Cyclops told me not to cause trouble at this time, but I suspect that they must have noticed something when they blocked their station in New York. "

This blue devil-like guy moved its flexible tail, turned to Mason and said:

"Perhaps Doctor Strange has also sensed the Skrulls' infiltration and invasion of the earth. A spellcaster like him claims to be the guardian of the world. There is no way he can't sense the bad things that are about to happen, right?"

"He has the Time Stone."

Mason used 2077's military telescope to constantly observe the environment around the Holy of Holies, and said calmly:

"Stephen Strange has no secrets about the future or the past as long as he wants to see it, and the focus now is not whether Doctor Strange has discovered the Skrull conspiracy.

The point is, which side will he be on in the upcoming war?

Well, the mystics are patrolling around the Holy of Holies disguised as ordinary people. It seems that they are also under a lot of pressure. In this case, trying to sneak into the Holy of Holies is simply asking for death. "

"Indeed."

Nightcrawler nodded in agreement. As the teleportation master in the X-Men, he also believed that it was impossible to sneak into the Sanctuary.

Luckily that wasn't a problem for him.

He said goodbye to Mason and then tumbled down the tall building, stretched his body in mid-air and disappeared into the air with a whoosh.

"Give me a suggestion, Hat."

Mason pushed the sorting hat on his head and said:

"You are the most accomplished master in magic that I know. Right now Zha Kang is locked up inside, and I need your help to get him out."

"No, Mason."

The old hat god reminds me:

"Zhang Parker just told you that the energy signal was found here, but it doesn't mean that Constantine must be here.

I feel a headache here just seeing the criss-crossing magic lines in front of me. This must be the base of a secret organization that has been inherited for no longer than Hogwarts, but the power of inheritance is more than ten times stronger than ours.

If you want to sneak in with the help of magic power, I advise you to give up.

Unless you have the spellcasting ability of Dr. Destiny, it is impossible to break through the monitoring barrier of the Holy of Holies head-on.

But maybe you can try another way. "

It paused and said to Mason who put down the telescope:

"Didn't Batman always tell you by words and deeds not to fight on other people's home court? Find a way to make this your home court. You didn't have this ability before, but now you have it.

This barrier only detects the flow of space and magic, but it does not hinder the inherent power of nature. These mages respect nature, and I can confirm this from their spellcasting style. "

"I understand, you are such a clever little kid."

Mason nodded and jumped down from the tall building imitating the Nightcrawler's posture.

He decomposed water molecules in the air and reorganized his body farther away. After three "jumps", he arrived at the mouth of the Hudson River and jumped into the water without attracting attention.

Transformed into a waterman, he no longer had to worry about drowning in the water. After dissolving in the water, Mason also took out the Neptune Trident from his bag and inserted it into the bottom of the river. With the help of the power of this ocean artifact, he began to Change the climate around you.

He can violently move water bodies to trigger a heavy rain that covers the city.

But that approach was too rough and could not be hidden from vigilant mages.

According to the hat's suggestion, he must make rain in the way of nature. Wherever the raindrops go, Mason can move freely.

Therefore, in theory, as long as the rain is heavy enough, he can blend into the rain curtain and slip into it without alerting the Holy Sanctuary's warning magic.

The power of the Neptune Trident to control the storm requires the blood of Atlantis to be perfectly controlled. Mason has Namor's DNA, although it is not enough to unlock all the power of this artifact, but to be honest, it is only used to make rain. A bit overkill.

After dozens of minutes of brewing, the concentration of water molecules over the city has reached saturation.

The wind blew again among the dark clouds, and soon little bits of rain fell into the city. As time went by, it turned into a downpour, which was like washing away the filth under the bright city.

Mason, holding the trident, could easily sense what was happening in the city through the raindrops. A car lost control and crashed into the roadside in Manhattan, a gang fight was going on in the dark alleys of Brooklyn, and SHIELD agents were pretending to fish in the small piece of Parker Industrial Park in Queens that was bought by Zhang.

This was the first time he had expanded his ability to this extent. A huge amount of information was transmitted to Mason's brain in the rain curtain generated by nature, but he did not feel panic.

He could accept and analyze these situations after maintaining a high-speed brain operation for a long time.

"You can create a water clone, Mason."

Under the river, the hat projected its voice into Mason's heart and said:

"The water flowing in the entire city now is controlled by you. Try it and make yourself appear in several places at the same time."

"Will this really not make me schizophrenic?"

Mason complained in a low voice.

"No, it won't."

The Isu ghost Consus also appeared at Mason's shoulder, and he whispered:

"The extrasensory senses brought by the Isu bloodline have changed you, my brother. This change is subtle. Your extraordinary thinking allows you to control this clone mode.

Just like several threads running at the same time in a computer, you are used to doing several things at the same time in the manufacturing process. In theory, this is no different from controlling several clones at the same time.

Of course, the first time will always be a mess, but with your current learning ability, I think..."

"Wait!"

Mason suddenly shuddered.

He interrupted Consus's description, and while trying to create several water clones in the rain-shrouded area, he said to Hat and Consus:

"Your wonderful analogy! Linking the water clones with the manufacturing process suddenly gave me an inspiration. I used to think that if the time of an individual cannot be extended, can the accumulation of quantity achieve some kind of qualitative change.

You said, if I create twenty water clones to try ten categories of manufacturing skills at the same time, then um? Why don't you talk?"

Mason's two "portable grandfathers" fell silent. After a few seconds, Hat and Consus cursed in unison:

"Curly dog!"

"Haha, you can mock me as much as you want, I just feel that I have finally found the right way to use my mutant ability."

Mason was amused by the reactions of these two guys, and he grinned and said:

"I think it's feasible, let's give it a try."

He closed his eyes and began to perform "magic" at the bottom of the Hudson River. In a few minutes, twelve "Masons" emerged one by one in various parts of the city.

Just like Kevin the slime monster, he twisted and turned himself into Mason Cooper in different clothes after adapting and trying, and began to move freely.

He can also transform into more clones, but currently controlling twelve water clones at the same time is the limit of his good control.

The Mason in Manhattan ran to the out-of-control car on the street to help, dragged the seriously injured driver out and gave first aid on the roadside. The Mason in Brooklyn, dressed in a bat suit, hid above the dark alley, collected rainwater and turned it into "water molecule bat darts" to shamelessly attack the gang members fighting below, to practice shooting.

The three Masons who appeared in the Parker Industrial Park did not alarm the patrolling agents, but ran into the sealed laboratory of Zhang Parker during the water body conversion and began to tinker with engineering, and tried to make the prototype of BGF9000 before the end of this rainstorm.

The remaining Masons found places to do other things, such as forging, tailoring, inscriptions, and jewelry.

The mode of twelve "sub-threads" running simultaneously in Mason's brain made him dizzy at first, but soon Mason got the hang of it.

This is nothing new.

Ordinary people can go to the toilet while taking a shower, so what's so difficult about doing two things at the same time?

He was just trying to do twelve things at the same time, which was just a little more difficult than ordinary people hiding in the bathroom and secretly peeing while washing their bodies.

Mason, who was in the "private room" at the bottom of the river, looked at the prompts of the continuous increase in the number of skills of each branch of production on the translucent character card in front of him, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth for a while.

He felt that he had finally found the smooth road to "Master of All Occupations" again.

"Ahem"

The hat couldn't stand it anymore.

It spoke to Mason, who was gaining experience at a high speed, in a faint voice:

"Business! Business! Mason, you didn't come here to kill others. Poor Constantine is still waiting for you to save him. Your teammates in distress are waiting anxiously."

"I think he can wait a little longer. Anyway, there are still nine days before he will be sacrificed to the evil god."

Mason curled his lips.

But that was all he said.

He regretfully mobilized the "Bat Mason clone" who had killed a gang in Brooklyn to approach the Sanctuary of the Holy of Holies in the water body transformation.

The fact was as the hat expected. The exquisite detection barrier covering the Sanctuary of the Holy of Holies in New York did not prevent the heavy rain from falling in nature.

The dripping water splashed on the ancient building, washing the symbol of the magic eye of Kamar-Taj very cleanly.

In the rainstorm covered by dark clouds, the water clone wearing a bat suit stood on the eaves outside the block, letting the black cloak cover his body.

The black bat helmet has raindrops falling on it and the gloomy sky behind it makes people exclaim that Bateman is coming!

"The next step will be a little more difficult."

The hat is almost teaching you step by step, and it prompts:

"You have to integrate your clone into the rain curtain to dilute the water molecules you can control to the maximum extent. In this way, your breath will also be dispersed. As long as it is fine enough, it will not trigger the alarm.

This is how all enchantments work.

It's like using a net to isolate obstacles, but as long as it is smaller than the mesh, you, the fish, can escape the eyes of the fisherman. "

"understood!"

Standing in the rain, the Mason clone of the COS master moved his shoulders. After taking a few deep breaths, he jumped down from the eaves, let the bat cape unfold behind him, and the moment he glided close to the Sanctuary, the body made of water molecules It exploded to the limit with a bang.

It is no exaggeration to say that Mason felt a sense of "loss of control" and "tearing" pain.

But a few seconds later, the figure who crushed his clone into tens of thousands of raindrops and rejoined the sewer along the three drainage pipes of the Holy of Holies stood up in the water, which meant that he had crossed that troublesome barrier. .

"Very good! You are very talented."

Hat praised in a "teachable" tone:

"You can handle the rest yourself. I'm not familiar with the terrain here, but I don't think they will imprison Zha Kang in the material world.

Pay close attention to the devices that connect to the demiplane. "

"Um."

Mason's water avatar nodded and reached out to clasp the fence of the Sanctuary's sewer, letting his body transform into the winding water, carefully avoiding those energy nodes, and after a few minutes, he arrived at the quiet hall of the Sanctuary.

No one is here.

It seems that the Supreme Mage of this world is not here either.

This is normal. There are three such sanctuaries in the world, but they are all in the nature of outposts.

Mages usually gather in Kama Taj's headquarters to practice martial arts and practice magic. They are essentially a group of ascetics who would not come to New York to hang out in this seductive and depraved world of flowers.

"Let me see what good things are here?"

Mason's water body gathered in the hall, looked around, looking for possible entrances to the demiplane, and "tasting" back and forth in Doctor Strange's collection.

He put his hand on an antique oriental-shaped black cauldron, and soon an information label popped up:

Mother Cauldron of All Things·Secret Treasure of the Alchemist

Quality: Alchemy/Forging Artifacts·Immortal Craftsmanship

Special effects: Smelting all things, extracting essence, improving medicinal efficacy, removing impurities

Produced by: Sorcerer Supreme Agamotto

Item Description: Be bold! How dare you put your dirty hands on the Mother Cauldron of All Things? Be careful, it will swallow you and cook you slowly, and after seven, seven and forty-nine days, you will refine it into a "mutant elixir", just like the Monkey King in the Eastern Heaven. Yes, there is that monkey here too, It's just that it's unlikely to happen.

hint!

The production drawings of the Mother Cauldron of All Things have been included. You can try to make it after your forging and alchemy skills reach level 7. Perfect production requires forging and alchemy skills to reach level 10.

"An alchemical artifact! An upgraded version of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, cool!"

Mason's water avatar sighed in admiration, and at the same time had a direct understanding of the quality of the Supreme Mage's collection. Where is this Zha Kang's cage in front of him?

This is clearly a treasure house full of artifacts.

Although one or two things cannot be taken away, for a craftsman like Mason, having drawings and recipes is enough. Sooner or later, he will be able to make it in person with his own hands.

Twenty minutes later, Mason, who had obtained many legendary drawings, was at a loss to do anything.

He had searched the upper and lower floors of the Holy of Holies, but found no trace of Zha Kang at all. Hat also said helplessly:

"It seems we can only use some dangerous things. Do you have the Deluminator with you?"

"How to bring this?"

Mason's Water Separate complained:

"I can't turn it into water molecules and smuggle it in together. If you can, use this clone to do it. We stayed too long and I'm a little panicked."

"Then just bear with it."

Hat gritted his teeth and said:

"I use your clone as a carrier to release a detection magic, which should be able to find the hidden plane."

"bring it on."

Mason said.

The next moment, a heavy force was released through the connection between the main body and the clone, causing Mason's water body to collapse into a water stain in an instant, and then closed up again after more than ten seconds.

The energy possessed by this clone was almost drained, but Hat's attempt was successful.

"At the top! Under the relief of the Magic Eye, there is a hidden location. Go and take a look."

Under the hat's instructions, Mason's water clone quickly found the hiding place, suspended in the air like a black eyeball.

"Why do I feel a little panicked?"

He complained:

"This thing doesn't look normal at first sight, okay?"

"Think on the bright side. If you are in danger, you will only lose one clone."

The hat urged, and Mason thought for a moment that this was also the case, so he put his hand on his black eyes. In the next moment, his whole body disappeared into the material world as if being sucked into a storm.

Before Mason could recover from his dizziness, he heard a familiar voice full of surprise:

"Ah, Mason! You're finally here! Do you know how much I've been waiting? Quick! Take me away, that terrible lunatic could come back at any time

Do you have cigarettes?

Give me one, God, I'm going to be tortured to death."
