Chapter 559 25 The Dark Chronicles of the Conquerors
Chapter 559 25. The Dark Chronicle of the Conqueror
"Stabbing in the back and refusing to save anyone, it seems that you really have a lot of resentment against them. But you just said that I would be punished. Who will punish me? By Madeleine Pryor, the Red Queen to whom you are loyal? "
Facing the uncooperative Omega Storm Girl, Mason popped out a cigarette and held it in his mouth.
His beloved lighter was gone and he had to rub the magic fire to light it. He then reached out and shook the head of the restrained Conqueror General in front of him, making her turn to look at Magneto, the commander-in-chief's adjutant, who was held in the third time stasis cabin next to him.
The captain said:
"You know him, and you know what his presence here means. Your commander-in-chief, the Red Queen, personally went out to defeat the traitor you called the traitor, but she almost died in my hands.
The fact is that you can't do anything to me now.
I don't intend to humiliate you or kill you. Your abilities can be used for more valuable causes than destruction. I also don't want to spy on the military secrets of the first sequence of conquerors. I just want to understand your thoughts.
How did Madeleine unite you all? What are the reasons for you to serve on the Hope Council? Would you be interested in taking a few minutes to introduce your philosophy to my fellow rebellious fellow?
We come from the same place.
If she can convince you, maybe she can convince me too. "
Storm gritted her teeth and refused to respond, but she endured it very hard. The truth pushed by the Veritaserum was already on her lips, and perhaps she just needed a chance to pry her mouth open.
Mason realized this.
He raised the golden apple in his hand, and the psychic invasion began to interfere with Storm Girl's will.
But with little success.
On the one hand, it is because as a high-end power among the conqueror mutants, her willpower is quite good, and on the other hand, it is also because there is a power similar to "Occlumency" in effect in her brain.
Ororo could also sense Mason's attempt. She showed a sarcastic smile and said:
"When you are imprisoned in the prison on the ship in the headquarters, someone will naturally introduce all this to you, and you will have enough time to understand and learn our way of survival.
As for psychic interference, don't try it. It's ineffective against us. The power of our compatriots is protecting us. "
This answer made Mason nod his head and he said:
"So there is Professor
For example, my sister, what is your appearance serial number? "
“The third base of the Weapon
My serial number is 05024. "
The storm girl no longer concealed these non-critical information. She poured out all her information like a bamboo tube, finally alleviating the surging desire to share in her heart.
She originally wanted to use this method of changing the subject to fight Mason's evil potion, but she couldn't hold back her opening.
Driven by a strong desire to talk, the captured general-level clone kept talking:
"I was born in the third year after the establishment of the Hope Council. At that time, there were only three sequences of Conquerors. The Iron Armored Legion led by Iron Emperor Stark and the Supreme Avengers led by Steve Rogers all had their own ideas. They Agree with the strategy of the Hope Council and actively participate in the formation of military forces.
But we didn't.
We clones didn't even get a chance to express our support or resistance.
Like a bunch of lost dogs!
We can only passively accept orders, and obedience to the program is our dog leash, making us willing to make sacrifices for things we don't understand at all.
My recollections of that period are very clear, as my fellow hatchlings were exhausted in just three months of action, but new companions quickly took their place.
The first sequence was the earliest conquerors formed, but our casualty rate is always the highest, probably because the clones were born for consumption.
We work hard without complaining.
We used our corpses to pave the ladder to the strength of the Council of Hope, but no one remembers us or even cares about us. Our silent demise is nothing more than a string of numbers in the Council's casualty statistics.
You are wrong, the first sequence never truly serves the Council!
We hate them!
Every clone that survives the blood sea of corpses will hate them. This hatred is the cornerstone of the original unity. Unfortunately, hatred cannot make us survive longer in the cruel struggle. "
“It’s so tragic, I remember Batman saying something about you.
He said that if you really want to create hard-working cannon fodder, you shouldn't give them too much free will, but you are endowed with complete wisdom, which makes you always start to look back at the past and reflect on your life at some point.
This is where the pain comes from. "
The Queen of Justice next to her said something sympathetically, and the war-goddess holding a battle ax asked again:
"So when did that change?"
“When they learned to make demonoids from the Apokolips technology in a certain world, and started mass-producing Cleaners with the help of the mad scientists in Fox Nest.
We thought we could finally escape the fate of cannon fodder, but the situation has not fundamentally changed. "
Storm gasped.
She realized that she was about to say something she couldn't say, and she wanted to shut up, but Mason injected another Veritaserum into her veins and increased the interference of Golden Apple's thoughts.
This made Ororo cry out in pain, and she said intermittently:
“We are sent to conquer those tough bones, fight against the guardians of the world in an A-level world, and even step into the realm of the gods to intimidate them into submission.
The first capture of Olympus left thousands of clones dead in the war, and the destruction of some crazy Hela's Hades cost us three large corps at once.
It was we who conquered the forces of the gods along the way and made them join the council obediently.
We try to resist.
Especially after the first Omega clone was born in the continuous flames of war, the constraints of obeying the program were finally released for the first time, and we saw hope.
So we ask for help from our more powerful compatriots
Those primarchs!
The mutants of Utopia pretended to accept us, but actually used and betrayed us. They are the same thing as those superior 'masters'. Ah! "
A mouthful of blood was spit out from Ororo's mouth, mixed with the bitten tongue.
She didn't want to talk any more and reveal those painful memories, so she began to fight Mason's questioning with pain.
A ferocious expression appeared on his face covered with blood, and he stared at the captain fiercely, but an injury like biting off his tongue was not a fatal injury for a first aid master.
Mason pinched Ororo's bloody mouth and poured an epic healing potion into it to stop the bleeding and restore him.
He said:
"If you don't want to answer, you can tell me. There is no need to show your courage in this self-harming way. Besides, you have already told me the key information. I can always find a way to get the rest."
He snapped his fingers and issued the release command. The time stasis chambers of General Omega Iceman and Lieutenant Magneto were opened at this moment, and Mystique was also ejected from the chamber.
The Queen of Justice stared at the weak mutants in front of her with her axe, but before the three could escape, Mason's imitation leech disruptor had been injected into the bodies of the three.
Although it is impossible to truly seal the X gene without obtaining the key leech serum, alchemist masters can always simulate similar effects through constant attempts and the effectiveness of various drugs.
"I won't ask her again in case she hurts herself again, but I thought you might be able to give me an answer?"
The captain looked at the other three people and said:
"Concerning the grudge between the First Sequence of Conquerors and Utopia, how did they use and betray you?"
"Let her go first!"
When Iceman saw Storm's face covered in blood, he was about to attack, but his adjutant Magneto reached out to stop him. This guy's arm had been cut off by the Queen of Justice before, and although the injuries on his body had healed, he was still weak.
He did not show any more hostility, but said to Mason calmly:
"If you just want to know the answer, then I will tell you. I don't expect you to release us, but please don't inflict any more shame on us for the sake of our compatriots."
"I promise."
Mason let go of Ororo, who twitched into a ball on the restraint table due to the pain of tongue regeneration, and was helped by Ice Man and Mystique.
"So how can I help you understand this faster?"
Magneto, who was missing an arm, rubbed his eyebrows. Under Mason's gaze, he thought for a moment and said:
"Before Utopia intervened, the probability that the Weapon It was promoted to one ten thousandth.
The Iceman and I in front of you, as well as the dead Vulcan, are all the products of that vicious 'backstab'. "
"You said that Utopia completed the subsequent upgrade of the Weapon X project as a participant?"
This revelation made Mason narrow his eyes.
If what Magneto said about the clones is true, it means that Utopia's previous firm attitude on the issue of clones was all a disguise, including supporting Mason in blowing up the Project X base in his hometown, which may have had ulterior motives.
This sounds incredible, but if you think about it this way, many incomprehensible things seem to be able to find reasonable explanations.
For example, why has Utopia not been particularly active in destroying these cloning experiments after learning the clues about the Weapon X project?
Another example is how they turned a blind eye to the first sequence of conquerors.
But Mason soon realized that the answer would not be that simple. He quickly thought of another thing, looked at his lieutenant Magneto, and said:
"You were responsible for the attack and serious injury that happened to Professor Supreme before? Is this revenge?"
"It's not revenge, it's just a self-rescue operation."
Magneto glanced at Mason in surprise. This young compatriot seemed to know more than he thought.
He followed Mason's question and said:
"The main purpose of that attack was not to kill Professor Supreme, and we knew that was simply not possible.
We sent thirty Omega generals, led by the Red Queen, to ambush their spaceship and laboratory, destroying the 'third upgrade plan' they were about to submit to God Lord Doom.
It is said that the plan contains a blueprint for upgrading the 'obedience procedures'. Once the Hope Council gets its hands on it, we will never have peace.
Being able to injure Professor Supreme was an unexpected surprise. The results of that operation were beyond our expectations. The commander-in-chief had assured us that the cold-blooded bastard could not survive, but he survived death. It is said that he used some special method. Drug. "
"The truth is really hurtful. It seems that my fate with Hogwarts was destined seventeen years ago."
Mason touched the silent hat on his head. The reason for the destruction of the world of Hogwarts was completely understood, but the answer still did not make people feel happy.
The captain thought for a moment and said:
"So, you really wanted to ask Utopia for help in the first place?"
"Yes, ten years ago."
Lieutenant Magneto whispered:
"At that time, several clones who grew to the Omega level in the war secretly formed an organization, and Storm Girl was one of them. They vowed to change the reality that our brothers and sisters have been cruelly consumed.
The most direct way we can think of is to ask for the help of the Primarchs. At that time, Utopia was already searching for mutant civilization in the parallel world.
We naively thought they would help us too.
Therefore, these respectable pioneers risked being executed to find the contact person of Utopia, and under the latter's instructions, they stole a complete set of data on the Weapon X project from the unique fusion world of God Lord Doom, and at the same time A group of members with the most potential were secretly handed over to Utopia.
They said that they would do their best to help us free ourselves from the shackles, and accept the first sequence to become a member of Utopia after the event is completed, so as to avoid the pursuit and killing that will inevitably come from the Hope Council.
But what we are waiting for is neither help nor acceptance.
A few months later, God Lord Doom upgraded the technology of the cloning system at all Project
Best of all, the obedience program was upgraded!
This directly resulted in the lower-level clones being unable to disobey the orders of their superiors. From then on, we knew that we had been tricked by those bastard originals!
They don't care about our fate at all. We are used by them as a tool to show our loyalty to the council! It's all a scam. They first gave us hope and then brutally extinguished it.
It is precisely because of their intervention that we can no longer escape the manipulation and control of the Council. "
"What about Madeleine?"
Mason asked:
"How did Madeleine become the Red Queen and Commander-in-Chief of the First Order?"
"It stemmed from revenge."
Adjutant Magneto sneered:
"After realizing that we had been tricked, the Omega clones who had united together were determined to take revenge. God Lord Doom may be aware of this, but he is happy to see the conflict between the clones and the original body growing.
So he let us go.
I was just an Alpha warrior at the time and followed the Forerunners into Utopia. We destroyed several cities and snatched back the members we had handed over to them.
But fate favors us after all.
Lady Madeleine was the most wonderful gift of that operation. She was used by those bastard Primarchs to test the power of the Phoenix Force, and she was extremely lucky to master that power.
When we were besieged by Hunting Sentinels and were about to be destroyed, she stepped forward to save us and brought us back to the Conqueror ship.
From that day on, the first sequence of conquests finally had a real commander!
Her power stunned Doom, and the power upgrades given to us by those bastard Primarchs saved us from being cannon fodder, and from then on, we had a bargaining chip with the Council of Hope. "
Having said this, Magneto looked at Mason and said seriously:
"The ideals and concepts you mentioned that the Red Queen used to unite our compatriots do not exist, Mason Cooper. Whether it is ideals or the future, those things are too luxurious for us as clones.
The reason we stick together is because no one will help us except ourselves, and no one will even care about us!
Don't think of us as evil people, we just have no way out.
That's all. "
He looked at Mason, and after a few seconds of silence, he sighed with a tone of regret and jealousy:
"Not every compatriot can be as free as you and have unlimited possibilities in life. Mason, you have not experienced the desperate situation of being abandoned, let alone use your childish idea of the world to be unified to measure our choices.
The grudge between you and Ms. Madeleine is your own business. Others have no qualifications or reason to participate, but between Utopia and the first sequence, you must make a choice! "
——
"Mason has come into contact with the clones of the first sequence of Conquerors, Professor. Although what happened back then has been forgotten, maybe we should get involved? Lest this potential star turn against us.
Although he has never directly admitted that he is one of us, he has been given an important responsibility after all. "
In a lounge in Utopia, Professor Supreme, who was closing his eyes and concentrating, sensed a spiritual dialogue rising in his heart, which was a warning from Mr. Sinister.
But facing this suggestion, he had no intention of intervening. After a few seconds of silence, the Supreme Professor said warmly:
"Don't worry about him. There are more important things right now. Have the civilians around the world been settled? Are there enough immigrant ships? Are the soldiers on the border ready?"
"But if Mason knows that."
"Then let him know."
The Supreme Professor waved his hand and ended the topic. He said:
"The truth cannot be hidden. You must know that Mason never thought he was one of us, and he never thought about becoming a part of Utopia.
Both parties have only been in a cooperative relationship from beginning to end.
The Fourth Impact is coming, and the darkest moment for Utopia is also coming. Spend more time on the business."
