Chapter 512 58 Hey, You, the Devourer, Are so Noble that It's Abnormal! [Additional Update 1010]
Chapter 512 58. Hey, you, the Devourer, are so noble that you are abnormal! [Additional Update 1010]
The whole world gradually returned to normal after being suspended for nearly 72 hours due to the war.
It was inevitable to liquidate the surrender faction, but Mason didn't care about it.
In this process, he even put aside his thoughts on future plans and those never-ending contingency plans, and turned to help the wounded recover in Dr. Leslie's clinic.
This war not only shocked the world, but also made Mason more deeply aware of the impact of chaos.
The scene of seven cities being destroyed in the blue plume of neutron annihilation came back in his dreams at midnight, giving the captain a deeper understanding of the cause he had been promoting.
He didn't want to see the same thing happen again.
At noon on the third day after the war, in the observation ward of Leslie's clinic, Mason, wearing a white coat, handed a box of sealed potion to the handsome uncle Oliver Queen in casual clothes in front of him.
The latter came to pick up his girlfriend home.
The black canary Dana, who was supported by him, still had gauze on her face. It was the scar left after being kidnapped by the Skrulls and parasitized by the sea star Starro.
It should have been a difficult injury to treat, but Mason used alchemy to help her restore her face, which is very important for a female hero.
"Recover your wounds after you go back, and remember to continue using the beauty potion for at least half a month to completely eliminate the scars."
Mason looked at the middle-aged uncle and old aunt in front of him, who had a similar way of getting along with the master and Catwoman, and he reminded them:
"I understand that you two have just experienced life and death, but try not to do strenuous activities in the next three days."
"We are not young people who know nothing!"
Green Arrow felt that Mason was nagging and had a hint.
But he was embarrassed to lose his temper, so he could only thank Mason very stiffly. If it weren't for the young man in front of him who he once regarded as a dangerous person, he and Dana would probably be separated forever.
Black Canary thanked him repeatedly, and was sent into a luxury car by her rich and handsome boyfriend and drove away.
"That's the last superhero patient. The rest are ordinary people. We can handle it."
Dr. Leslie's voice came from the door of the clinic. Mason looked back and saw Dr. Lalis, who was in her fifties but looked as well-maintained as a young woman in her thirties, standing at the door with a slightly tired look.
She held the coffee in her left hand and put her right hand in her pocket. She looked at Mason with a gentle smile unique to elders, and the feeling in her eyes was like looking at a junior who finally became a talent.
"I heard that you did a lot of great things after leaving here."
The doctor who took Mason in smiled and said:
"This time, even the whole world owes you a favor, Mason."
"I'm more curious about where you heard about the things I did after I left. As far as I know, I rarely move around in this world."
Mason pushed the frame on his nose and squinted his eyes to tease the doctor.
The two of them get along in much the same way as before, and Mason has great respect for the old lady who taught him how to treat wounds and suturing techniques.
However, this hint still made the smile on Dr. Leslie's face disappear in an instant. She frowned and said:
"Of course it was from your adoptive father! Every time Gordon ate with me, he would talk about what you and Barbara did as if he was reporting work, even though I had no interest in it.
Tsk, that old man is really hopeless."
"Don't say that, doctor, Gordon saved a lot of people this time."
Mason shook his head, took off his white coat and handed it to Dr. Leslie, saying:
"The reputation of Sheriff Man is spreading in the city. He will also have a dual identity in the future. Your reunion with him is bound to encounter many twists and turns.
Maybe the next time Barbara and I go home for dinner, he will introduce you to us as the hostess of Gordon's house."
"The stinky kid just can't speak. Who wants to be the hostess of that broken house?"
Dr. Leslie blushed, turned his head, and said proudly.
But when she turned around, Mason was no longer beside her, just like the turning point of the story of those legendary superheroes, just a turn, the master who was just beside her disappeared like a ghost.
"It's really hard to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad things!"
The old lady who had been busy for several days stretched her body on the spot and planned to leave work early, so she dialed a number and said that she wanted to eat home-cooked meals tonight, so the Sheriff had to leave early and go home to prepare a candlelight dinner.
In the alley across the street, Zha Kang, who was holding a cigarette, said to Mason, who was reshaping the water body beside him, in a very unhappy tone:
"You can play this Batman disappearing game with your future legal adoptive mother, but why did you have to call me over? Do you know I'm busy?"
"I know, I can see."
Mason glanced at the red strawberry on Zha Kang's neck and said:
"Is it disturbing your good time with Xiao Zha?"
"Tsk, I was dreaming. Xiao Zha was in seclusion learning magic. He was just renewing his relationship with Xiao Shuijing. He was just about to have the second shot when you called him over, you bastard!"
The male wizard threw the cigarette butt at the corner of his mouth to the ground and stepped on it hard, cursing:
"You can't stand others' good times when your good time is interrupted, right?"
"What are you talking about?"
Mason said in surprise:
"Harley and I are fine."
"I know you and Harley are on good terms, but I'm not talking about Harley."
Zha Kang rubbed his hands and said coquettishly:
"It's Mr. Xili. There are rumors that a certain innocent-looking little bastard almost killed his infatuated female boss in the ward and even took off his pants.
Okay, Mason, don’t you see, you still like to play this game? Do you want a buddy to give you some advice? "
"Who spread this news! Xili and I are innocent!"
Mason scolded angrily, but then he thought that the witness that night was the swordsman who had always been unreliable in his affairs, so he reached out to cover his eyes with a headache.
What he was worried about was not the random gossip, but mainly that it was not easy to explain to Harry.
"Send me to Rome."
Mason said something very tired. Zha Kang was stunned for a moment and then realized. He took a peek at Mason's expression and reached out to open a portal to the city of Rome.
When the captain stepped into it, Zha Kang, who lit up a cigarette again, patted his shoulder behind him and whispered:
"That's not your fault. Don't put any more pressure on yourself. This is war, and casualties are inevitable."
"I know, I've convinced myself."
Mason said without looking back:
"I just wanted to go there and take a look before I left. I would like to inform everyone that there will be a meeting at Osborne Tower in three hours. Everyone must be present. The plans and policies for the next phase need to be discussed."
"Damn, I was so full that I tried to comfort you, but you turned around and threw me a meeting notice. You have no conscience!"
Zha Kang cursed.
Mason stood in the portal and glanced back at him, saying:
"Three hours aren't enough for you to finish a friendly game?"
"Of course not enough!"
Constantine counted on his fingers:
"Little Crystal has another debt, and Colypso owes three debts, and my little pet Emilia has been in a manic stage of blood thirst recently. I also plan to take the opportunity to hook up with Storm Girl.
How about you give me eight hours? "
"Xiao Zha's lightning strike was really light."
Mason complained, turned around and disappeared into the rotating light curtain amidst Zha Kang's obscene laughter. In the next moment, he crossed the Atlantic Ocean and arrived outside the city of Rome in Europe.
The city in front of me was still in ruins.
Hei Qiqi is not a volunteer repairman, so it is naturally impossible for him to repair all the war damage in the entire world. Besides, the city of Rome is in a special location.
This city was one of the seven cities destroyed by the warlock's neutron killing. Compared with the loss of the city's buildings, the lives lost in the particle beam were the most terrifying casualties in this lifeless place.
The remaining radiation from the neutron killing was still there, and no one could get close to the ruins, so someone erected a monument outside the city, and the bottom was already filled with flowers for mourning.
Mason stands in front of the monument, which is made from the remains of a crashed Pioneer spaceship.
He reached out from his bag and took out a bouquet of white flowers and placed it on it, closing his eyes and observing for a moment.
He didn't know what to say, but the dead lives in front of him seemed to be still looking at him from the sky, and the heavy pressure made Mason's spine bend a little.
"Are you being pretentious? Or do you want to use this method to express your joy at victory and fear at failure?"
A strong woman's voice sounded behind Mason.
He did not look back. Ten seconds later, another bouquet of flowers was placed under the monument. It was placed by a dark-skinned woman in formal clothes.
She looks majestic in sunglasses, and the Tianyanhui logo on her chest represents her identity.
Amanda Waller, director of the Secret Forces of the Sky Eyes.
Of course, the real Waller had died in the crash ten minutes before the neutron kill arrived in Washington, and the one who appeared next to Mason was just a pretender.
"Don't talk to me under such skin, Brother A."
Mason didn't open his eyes. He whispered:
"It makes me feel like I'm talking to dead people. Besides, I think you should hurry up. Survivors all over the world are very angry with you who started the war.
Once they know that there is a remnant of the stars hiding here, the whole world will be angry. "
"Anger without strength is just a sign of incompetence, so I am not afraid of your revenge. This is your victory, not this world's.
They are still weak. "
The whole body of "Swallow" next to him trembled as he spoke, and in an instant he returned to the gloomy appearance of Alex Mercer, a thin young man wearing a black hood.
He stood with Mason in front of the war memorial with his hands in his pockets and said:
"Did you bring the Red of All Things? And my real body."
"It's all here."
Mason patted his luggage, opened his eyes, glanced at the person next to him, and said:
"But if you want me to give them to you, you must at least give me a reason, right?"
"That's not something people feel comfortable about."
Brother A said in a stiff tone:
"Why don't we waste this time pretending that we are all friends and playing these games of sharing the past? You give me your things and I promise that I will not appear in your sphere of influence in the future."
"What? Are you in a hurry?"
Mason said teasingly and pressed the button on his watch.
A dozen seconds later, Wonder Woman's invisible fighter roared from the Mediterranean and hovered in the sky nearby.
The classic-dressed Wonder Woman and the shrunken War Queen in black armor jumped out of the invisible fighter one after another, and Diana was still holding a struggling big bag in her hand.
The two landed not far away, blocking Brother A's escape route from two directions, but Devourer didn't care about it. The A-level personnel said in a relaxed tone:
"Killing this biological clone will not cause me any loss, but once the black light virus breaks out on a large scale, the world you just snatched back will fall into the next round of chaos in an instant.
Mason, you won't bet on this kind of thing, right?"
"I won't."
Mason stared at the monument in front of him and said softly:
"But my friends are probably not as rational as me. You see, you are asking me to give you two very dangerous things, and I think I need to know what you will do with them.
Isn't this very Is it a reasonable request? I really don't understand what you are resisting.
Go ahead, we still have three hours. "
Alex Mercer fell into silence. After several minutes of confrontation, he sighed, stretched out his hand to pull down the hood on his head, completely covering his eyes, and then spoke:
"I am a black light virus aggregate. The real Alex Mercer died a long time ago. I just chose this name as my code name, just like the Batman in your world.
So to be precise, 'I' is not a biological concept. I am more like an aggregate of virus and biological consciousness. I am I don't know how to classify a monster."
"Tell me something I don't know."
Mason pointed to the time on his wrist. Brother A was unmoved. He explained briefly:
"I devoured all life in my world, including humans, animals and even microorganisms, but that was not out of malice or madness.
It was just a sign that a plan was successfully completed.
Mason, we pioneers have seen many, many worlds trying to save themselves in the end, and most of them died quietly.
Only a few have enough time and luck to complete their world-saving plans, and even fewer can make it to the end as planned. Only one out of a thousand survives.
Fortunately, I made it to the end, and that was the last swan song of a C-level world.
They created me in the laboratory, and they hesitated whether to use me until the moment of impact when they realized that they could no longer hesitate, so 'I' was scattered all over the world, and within 18 hours, I completed the swallowing and preservation of the world's life.
My world is dead.
In the shadow of doomsday, I survived and joined the Star Society in the name of 'swallowing'. "
Brother A told the story of his birth expressionlessly, and his tone was so calm that it seemed like he was telling the tragic past of others, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
As the dark clouds covered the sky, he continued:
"The civilization that created me did not have advanced technology to protect the entire world, so they took a desperate plan called the 'World Completion Plan'.
I was created as an 'agent' at the cost of the mass extinction of the life signals of the entire world.
The body you took away is the 'world gene bank' that I must keep.
All the life characteristics of the entire world are engraved into the genetic information of the bones in the form of biological programming. They set up a very complex program to ensure that I can complete the world's revival at some point in the future."
"World revival?"
Mason narrowed his eyes. He closed his eyes, looked at Brother A, and said:
"The Blacklight virus in your body alone cannot complete this operation of resurrecting the swallowed things in reverse, so you set your sights on the Red of All Living Things? Do you think that power can help you?"
"That is Wesker's research result."
Brother A no longer concealed it at this time, he explained:
"In exchange for helping to analyze the perfect Blacklight virus sample, Wesker helped me complete the second half of the plan. He claimed that I needed to experience a "seedling of the source of life" to complete the world's recovery, and the price was that my existence collapsed and died.
I gladly accepted this."
He paused, stretched out his hand, and let the pale sunlight sprinkle on his palm.
Most of the light was in his hand, but he could not feel a trace of temperature.
Under Mason's gaze, he closed his eyes and whispered:
"This era is terrible, and the next era may not be that good, but no matter how the future develops, I am sure that there will not be a world that can accommodate monsters like me.
Instead of living in vain, it is better to complete the mission given to me as a tool, and exchange my demise for the rebirth of my hometown.
That is the path I chose for myself, and that will also be the end of Alex Mercer's fate.
This is my story, are you satisfied?"
Ps:
After the work is over, please keep the monthly ticket first, and when it doubles, I will add more and send signals!
