Chapter 510 56 I Admit that I Spoke a Little Too Loudly Before, and I Apologize to You Now [810]
Chapter 510 56. I admit that I spoke a little loudly before, and I apologize to you now [810]
The meeting between the God's Messenger Team and Mason was scheduled long ago.
There was no problem with the time and the location. Both parties were punctual and polite. The only flaw was that the current environment had undergone a "subtle" change.
According to Moonlight Knight's original idea, the meeting at this time and place should be the time when Gotham was attacked by the Warlock and the Conqueror, and it was also the time when Mason and others needed help the most.
In that case, he showed up with a powerful A-level team to negotiate conditions, turn his back on the warlock or secretly support him, and he could easily control Mason and negotiate a deal that would definitely not lose money.
As Mason expected, this "Messenger of the Gods" was not a pioneer who stood firmly on the side of the Warlock. He had his own little thoughts and the gods behind him also had a very "flexible" ethics that authorized him to act according to circumstances.
The interests of the God's Messenger Team and the interests of the Warlock were definitely not consistent.
Although they ostensibly helped Warlock pass the invasion plan proposal in the Council, they obviously wanted to do something tricky, such as hedging risks by betting on both sides. The best outcome is that Warlock stepped into the quagmire and was dragged down by the Gotham world.
In this way, Warlock, who needed external assistance, had to give up his interests to the gods.
In short, it was all a game.
The plan was great and feasible, but there was one bad thing. The gods, including their messengers, made an empirical mistake.
The changes came too fast.
The Gotham world was caught in the most critical moment by the laughter in the previous second,
Guess what happened in the next second?
They turned the tables directly.
Not only did they kill Warlock neatly, but there were also three big guys who were playing Happy Candy Crush to eliminate the cleaners and conquerors that still existed in the world.
The situation changed so quickly that the gods could not keep up with the decision-making speed, so they naturally had no time to adjust their strategy. Seeing that the meeting time was up, they could only bite the bullet and push the messenger out.
Without giving any strategy, he asked Moonlight Knight to come and talk.
He said that he would delegate decision-making power, but in fact he just found someone to take the blame.
"I guess, if we can't reach a good agreement here today, maybe in a few days, your head will be sent to my desk in the name of "apology." "
Mason, who jumped off the flying motorcycle, was very relaxed. He walked forward and looked at the Moonlight Knight whose face was covered by a strange white mask. He stretched out his hand and whispered:
"They are scared, right? They thought of using me or the warlock to gain benefits for their own camp to get involved in the command level of the Star Society, but they didn't expect to play too much.
Maybe it was because I, the "bug", showed too much aggressiveness and sent Yun Are the gods on the top shocked?"
"Hehe"
The Moonlight Knight smiled awkwardly, held Mason's hand, and said dryly:
"Don't think too much, it's just a meeting between colleagues of the Star Society, not as many twists and turns as you said. Speaking of which, isn't it a hostage exchange?
Why not meet Black Adam?"
"I changed my mind. It's too risky to hand over the traitor to a stranger whose enemy is unknown."
Mason's expression turned cold, he pulled his hand away from the Moonlight Knight and said:
"What? Are you unhappy to see me change my mind at the last minute?"
How the hell can I be happy?
Do you see a trace of happiness on my face?
Hey, if you don't need your eyes, you can donate them to people in need!
The Moonlight Knight, who was holding back his anger, really wanted to draw out the Moon Wheel Saber and cut the bastard in front of him into a hundred pounds of sauerkraut and put it into the lunch box with cartilage, but he was really confident now.
The tragic death of the warlock had sounded the alarm for him.
Just looking at the suspicious attitude of the team members behind him, you can see that they are under great pressure, fearing that Mason will call an extraordinary boss to crush them here as if they were bugs.
So the god's envoy laughed dryly again under the mask without any expression:
"Haha, think about it carefully, my previous request is indeed a bit difficult, you should consider it carefully. Now, I brought your people."
He waved his hand, and the magical Mary behind him, that is, Shazam's sister in another world, grabbed the bruised Skrull Queen Vikran from the air with a casual stroke.
The latter was obviously tortured and lost 70% of her life.
But obviously she was conscious after proper first aid, and her injuries were not so serious that she was dying. She was even changed into a festive red dress to cover the blood on her body.
The green face of the Skrull Queen was also confused at this time.
As a captive who failed to ambush, she had no idea what happened. Thirty minutes ago, she was still hanging in the black cell waiting to die. Then these bastards rushed in, treated her and brought her here while talking nicely.
"She's seriously injured."
Mason frowned as he looked at the Skrull Queen who was sent to him. He glanced at the Moonlight Knight beside him and said:
"Is this how the gods treat guests? I sent my servants to you to discuss cooperation matters. It's fine if you don't want to pay attention, but you actually tortured my messenger.
Tsk, don't you understand the principle of not killing messengers when two armies are fighting?"
"Accident! It's all accidental."
Moonlight Knight waved his hand and forced an explanation:
"We express regret for this embarrassing 'diplomatic accident' and have already given Ms. Vikram adequate compensation and obtained her understanding.
Madam, would you like to say something? You being so silent now seems as if we have bullied you. "
He glanced at Vikram.
Queen Skrull touched several filled bags on her waist and nodded to Mason, indicating that with the "full salary and full dedication" and "with hundreds of millions of people" apology from the Angel Team, the two sides had indeed reached a " Agreement of Understanding”.
"Well, since the parties involved are not pursuing the case anymore, it would be rude for me to continue to pester you like this."
Mason snorted, casually took out the Super Skrull Psychic Beacon from his right hand and threw it to Queen Viklan, as agreed before.
The latter immediately held this artifact that could control the fate of all Skrulls in his hand, and very obediently handed over all the bags around his waist to the captain, and then silently stepped aside.
For her, it was over.
Although he was caught and beaten, and although he still doesn’t know what happened to change the situation in the middle, everything is fine now that the outcome is good.
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's talk about business."
Moonlight Knight rubbed his hands and stopped mentioning the "hostage exchange" thing he mentioned before. He pretended that he farted more than ten hours ago. He looked at Mason and said:
"We need to talk about two things. One is the issue of the existence of the new Stars Society in the future of the God Envoy Team in the Stars Society. Uh, I mean, the existence of the new Stars Society. The second is to convey the gods' message to the future leader of the Stars Society. congratulate!"
"I presume you said the same thing to the warlock thirty minutes ago?"
Mason stretched out his hand to interrupt him, and asked Moon Knight meaningfully. The latter sighed awkwardly, feeling deeply that it was really unpleasant to deal with a clever little guy like Mason.
At the same time, he also realized that it would be difficult for him to gain the upper hand in a verbal dispute with Mason with his own wisdom, so he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, deciding to pass the blame on to someone more suitable.
"Stephen! Come on!"
he shouted to himself.
The next moment, the strips of moonlight cloth wrapped around his body as a battle suit were quickly pulled away and rotated, and the "transformation" was completed under the cover of the moonlight cloak.
The warrior-like Moon Knight transformed into a gentleman in a suit and leather shoes.
This guy no longer wears a hood or a cape. He is wearing a sexy moon-white suit and has a red rose stuck in the pocket of his jacket. His face is still wrapped in white gauze, but the lines on his face are obviously much softer.
"Hey, hello, Mr. Mason."
This familiar-looking guy changed his awkward posture, moved his body very relaxedly, stretched out his hand to Mason again and said:
"Let me introduce you again. My name is Stephen Grant. Among the many personalities of Moonlight Knight, he is the best at using his brain and negotiating. The person I was talking to you just now is Mark.
You could tell by his appearance that that guy was a violent maniac, and he couldn't do such a delicate job as negotiating terms.
I already said that the moment the situation changed, he should let me take control of the situation. "
"Wow! Two personalities!"
Mason folded his arms behind him and tried hard to pretend that he was a strong bodyguard, but Harley, who kept blowing pink bubble gum out of boredom, opened her eyes wide, looked at her head and screamed:
"Look! Quinn, our patient!"
"Well, this lady seems to have multiple personalities. It's really a pleasure to meet her."
Stephen Grant, who called himself "Mr. Knight", politely took off the flowers from his chest and handed them to Harley to express his kindness. He explained:
"But I don't just have two personalities. I also have a very, very scary bastard that Mark and I jointly suppress in the depths of my soul. I don't dare to let him come out to avoid bad things."
"Yeah, I did this to Quinn before!"
Harley's eyes shone like a "patient communication", and she said to Mr. Knight:
"Quinn is a big bad guy who has always tempted me to do terrible things. I relied on my fierce love for Mr. K to suppress her.
But then we reconciled.
Harley is cute and cunning, and Quinn is cunning and cute. When the two of us join forces, we become the most powerful me.
You guys should give it a try too! "
"We tried it and it turned out badly."
Mr. Knight sighed.
Although he really wanted to talk more with Harley, his "patient", and share each other's patterns and experiences in dealing with sub-personalities, he obviously knew that this would be more important.
"It's okay, you can continue talking."
Mason next to him waved his hands and said:
"I'm not in a hurry at all! All kidding aside, it's much more interesting to listen to you talk about the happy things between these mental patients than to negotiate terms with the wallflower gods who always want to get benefits.
How about we change places?
I know there's a good coffee shop in Gotham. You and Mark will love the environment there. If Jack pops out, don't worry! I have a way to deal with that cold-blooded scumbag. "
As he spoke, Mason touched the Black Death Sword and the Gun of Ragnarok on his waist, and showed a gentle smile to the knight in front of him.
But it was this smile that made Mr. Knight Stephen swallow his saliva.
He is not Mason. If fighting alone, the enhanced version of Moon Knight and the full-state Mason are about 40-60, but the gun on Mason's waist is too stupid.
If the weapon specially designed for anti-divinity is really used, the entire team of divine envoys can easily be wiped out here.
Obviously, in the last brief confrontation, Mason didn't show his true ability at all. This guy is simply a "natural enemy" for anyone who uses divine power but is not strong enough.
"Okay, okay, put your scary little pistol on your waist and stop scaring us poor people, Mr. Mason."
Mr. Knight made a gesture, and his team members left the Rock of Eternity through the World Gate. Obviously, the next conversation was not what they should hear.
This is not a harsh grade rule, but a proper protection.
For messengers like them, knowing too many secrets of the gods will never end well.
"Although Mark is a bastard who doesn't understand the art of language, he did explain the two most important things today."
Mr. Knight whispered:
"You are right, Lord Mason. The victory in this world shocked the gods. The military and strategic victory came second. The main thing is that the three extraordinary strong men you summoned are impossible to ignore.
They were strong enough in their own right to get onto the Hope Council as strong councilors, but now they're at your disposal.
This situation has surpassed the meaning of the victory or defeat of this war itself. Your Excellency, I am here to find out the truth. The gods behind me are eager to know your purpose. "
"Is Odin one of you?"
Mason didn't answer the question. His question made Moon Knight hesitate for a moment, then nodded and said:
"All the gods that you know exist in legends, those powerful creatures named "gods" that will be born in the past, present and future and have been born are our members.
But don't be surprised.
Just like the Association of Stars, which only has three great masters, can still cause such an astonishing internal fight on such a scale, the gods are all arrogant guys and will not be so willing to obey the command and control of the same kind.
We are very disunited.
The scale of the inner hills far exceeds the scale of the Society of Stars and the Council of Hope. In fact, because of the existence of the web of divine power in different worlds and planes, we could have become a similar large-scale organization. However, the concept of 'us' emerged. From that moment on, true unity was never achieved.
We are the ones who help the Warlocks pass the war resolution in the Council. We are the ones who hope to seek a balance of power between the Warlocks and you to gain benefits. We are the ones who look forward to seeing rivers of blood and chaos running rampant. We are the ones who long to overthrow the stars. The orderly rebels are still us. "
Mr. Knight sighed and said:
"Our greatest enemy is never outside, our greatest enemy is ourselves. This powerful-sounding collection of gods has been hopeless from the beginning.
The God Envoy Team represents those who are truly eager to do something and have the strongest execution ability in the concept of ‘gods’. "
"Thank you for your explanation."
Mason kept this important information in mind, then looked at Moon Knight and said:
"If you want to know my purpose, you have to tell me your own purpose first, right? I think this is the prerequisite for a frank conversation."
"exist!"
Mr. Knight Steve held out a finger and said in a serious and serious tone:
"Everything is for existence, and existence is everything. The purpose of the power we represent has always been simple. An ant can still live in vain, let alone a life that is naturally powerful and immortal?
Everyone is struggling, and on a cosmic level, the gods are not that different from us.
You don’t have to doubt the correctness of this statement. This is what Kong Su told me personally.
Although the autistic person is ugly and cunning, he is generally not very good at deceiving others.
Therefore, in order to exist, we can help the evildoer, we can be cold-blooded, we can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and we can also stab people in the back.
Now that your power is about to be established inside and outside the Association of Stars, for us who are seeking to survive, there is no harm in having a good relationship with you. One more friend will open up a new path. "
"A very reasonable reason."
Mason nodded, then looked at Moon Knight and said:
"I will destroy the Council of Stars and end the Dark Ages."
"hiss"
This straightforward answer made Moon Knight take a breath of air. He hesitated for nearly ten seconds before speaking:
"It's a terrible and courageous ideal, but it's not unacceptable. After all, only when the stars fall, can the gods replace it with the web of divine power."
"It doesn't matter, who will be in power in the post-Stellium era is not my concern,"
Mason shook his head and said:
"I don't care what happens in the era after the stars are destroyed. I don't have the ability to plan for such a long future.
You just need to answer me. Can you and the spirit behind you help me? "
"Can."
Moonlight Knight nodded and said:
"But you and I both know that the real problem is not the Star Club, but the impact. Do you have any refreshing approach to this core issue?"
"I'm still trying, I'm not sure yet."
Mason shook his head and said:
"But if I really do it, you can only weld the car door shut and follow me until it's dark. Go back and think about it carefully, and discuss it with your friends.
This is a big deal after all, so don’t rush to conclusions. "
The captain stretched out his hand, put it on Mr. Knight's shoulder, and whispered:
"I will look forward to our next meeting, the ugly and cunning Lord Kongsu."
