Volume 5: The Young Wolf Seeks Home Chapter 73 Mason's bird seems to have grown crooked
In the battle between the Homeworld and the Ghost Rider, the egg of the ill-fated Phoenix Fawkes had already absorbed enough magical flames, and at that time it was only one step away from Nirvana and rebirth.
After being brought back to Osborne Tower, Mason has been using fire to help the phoenix eggs hatch.
But perhaps the life energy converted from ordinary fire was very weak. In any case, there had been no movement until today, at a time completely beyond Mason's expectations, the Phoenix Fox finally hatched again.
But the two unclear deaths in a row obviously made the phoenix very angry. In a bad mood, it engulfed the storage room with raging fire the moment it broke out of the shell.
A small tuft of Halle's hair was the most insignificant loss.
When Mason arrived at the storage room, the temperature in this area where various minerals and gems were stored was so high that it was almost burning through the floor.
The shrill sound of the fire alarm continued to echo, but the Osborn guards who rushed over had no idea what to do about the situation. Spraying water on them would only further anger Fox, causing flying flames to spray out like a flamethrower.
“Back off!”
Mason shouted, and drove out all the irrelevant people amid the shrill voice of Harley who was crying and holding her hair.
Crazy Wade wanted to join in the fun, but the symbiote suit on his body whooshed back into his body when he got close to the fire, leaving Deadpool naked all of a sudden.
He himself didn't care, after all, he had done streaking more than once.
But the super girl who rushed over had never seen such a scene before.
Kara thought she had met a pervert, so she closed her eyes, screamed, and punched Deadpool in the chest, sending him flying like a cannonball, breaking the glass and falling towards the bottom of the Osborne Tower.
“What a disgusting feeling~~~~”
Accompanied by Vedra's long, oily shout, Firestorm also flew out from the laboratory below.
But when he saw the phoenix flying around in the raging fire in the burning storage room, the guy was completely stunned.
"Dr. Stein said his worldview had been shaken..."
Little Black Jacks was suspended not far from the sea of fire. He stretched out his hand and poked Barbara next to him, and whispered:
"Is that a phoenix? Does Team K have any more of this legendary creature? How many weird things do you have left to show?"
"Isn't it just a phoenix? Is it worth making such a fuss?"
The well-informed Batgirl was so careless that her nerve endings were almost dead. She took out a hair growth agent to treat the burnt hair of the crying Harley, while waving her hands and saying:
"That's Fox, the phoenix that Mason picked up. Technically, it's his pet?"
"Well, the relationship between the captain and his pet is really strained."
Firestorm took a step back.
He was not afraid of fire, but the Phoenix Fire before him was obviously not an ordinary burning material, and it was difficult to use technological means to avoid the accompanying magical damage.
The Kryptonians were also somewhat at a loss.
Bizarro had just tried to put out the fire with a freeze ray, but ended up getting spit sparks in the face by the angry Fox. Now he was lying on the ground with his face in his hands, wailing.
Given the Kryptonians' "weak" physical constitution, it would be better for them to stay away from such things that cannot be explained by common sense.
"Mason! Mind your bird!"
Even the old Green Goblin was alarmed.
His voice rang out over the loudspeaker on this floor, scolding:
"The temperature in storage room No. 17 has exceeded the limit of what the building materials can withstand. If the fire continues, the whole building will be burned down. I have rebuilt this place three times since you moved in!
Damn it!
You guys pay for the materials this time!"
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Mason was sweating profusely at this moment. He stood at the door of the burning storage room, frantically trying to wake up his hat while asking people around him to step back.
Although the phoenix in front of him was only in its larval stage, its innate magical animal abilities had been awakened very deeply. Perhaps it was because it was beaten quite badly by Sister Ka last time?
“It’s angry…”
Hat had rarely seen a creature like the Phoenix lose control to this extent. He tried to communicate but Mason just curled his lips.
There's no need for you to translate if it's very angry.
Look at the chirping sound inside. Although Mason doesn't understand bird language, he can guess Fox's defensive mood at the moment. Well, although he can't understand what it is cursing, it must be very dirty.
"Let the flames go out first, and then we can talk it over."
Mason urged, and the hat acted as a "translator" and conveyed his thoughts to the phoenix that was making a fuss in the storage room. However, less than a second after the words were spoken, even more terrifying flames erupted in front of Mason.
Not only was the flame blazing, but its color had also turned into a dark blue magical fire. This was the same purifying fire that had burned off half of Wesker's life in the New York Grand Temple.
Mason's scalp tingled when he saw it.
Fortunately, he had successfully changed his job to a "water man". The moment he was hit by the fire, he disappeared on the spot as if he had evaporated. Then, through the principle of three-state conversion, he restored himself on the scorched ground.
"It's going to make some rules for you, Mason."
The hat was almost burned, luckily Mason covered it with his "water". The raging fire made the hat sweat all over its forehead, and it quickly conveyed the angry phoenix's intention.
"It said that if it had a choice, it would definitely not have been so obsessed with accepting your magical flame in Gotham that night, but now things have come to this, and it can't sever the connection between the two unless you die.
But you have to accept its three conditions.”
"Speak up! Tell me everything. We can discuss it, but can you please put out the fire first?"
Mason said frantically:
"My laboratory is right next to it. If the things stored in it explode, we'll be doomed!"
At his request, the flames in the storage room quickly rolled back as if time was replayed, and the bright flames turned into feathers of light surrounding Fox, making it look quite fantastic as it squatted on the melted metal shelf.
But seriously, this phoenix is not very big.
The overall size is about the same as the walking ground.
But the fiery red feathers on its head and the flaming tail feathers on its tail are particularly long and flowing, and the feathers on its wings have the illusion of fire, making it look several times larger than normal.
It squatted there, glaring at Mason fiercely with its pair of lively black glass-like eyes, and continued to utter obscene words in the bird language world while chirping lightly.
"Well, that's too dirty, so I won't translate it. Anyway, its first requirement is that you can't let it deal with those crazy guys it can't deal with at all.
I'm talking about your sister Ka."
The Hat coughed, perfectly fulfilling the duties of an interpreter and making Phoenix's first request.
Very reasonable request.
There was absolutely no intention to be unreasonable. Instead, Mason felt a little ashamed. To be honest, it was indeed unethical to let a young phoenix deal with the Isu demigod.
So he quickly nodded and agreed.
As a result, Fox screamed again and spewed flames to express his dissatisfaction.
"You can't just say it, you have to sign a document."
The hat whispered a reminder, Mason curled his lips, took out his notebook, wrote a few words, and showed it to the cunning Fox Phoenix.
Only then did it feel satisfied and stop screaming obscenities. Instead, it pecked at the flaming feathers on its wings with its long black beak in an extremely graceful manner, and then stretched out its voice and hissed a few times.
"The second requirement is that it needs magical flames as food. It is tired of the dryness and tastelessness of ordinary flames. It wants a unique and fierce fire as its own food."
The hat is very calm and composed.
"I guess what it means is that you need to use your magic flame to feed it every day. If you really can't spare the time, go find other flames to give it snacks.
What a greedy little thing.
But considering that what you did before was really not authentic, you should just give in. "
"That's fine, it's not a big deal."
Mason tilted his head and scribbled a few more words.
The phoenix was even more satisfied. Seeing Mason's cooperation, its bad mood was almost gone. It flapped its wings and flew to Mason's side amid the scattering of flaming feathers. It circled around him a few times and finally shrank its body and landed on Mason's shoulder.
He expressed his last request in an elegant chirp.
"Ahem, it said that you have to sort out the identity issues between you and it. It is not your pet, but just your collaborator, so you can't ask it to do menial work against its will."
Hat says:
“In addition, Fox demanded that he must have a luxurious bird’s nest that was in line with his status, made of the finest sycamore wood and embellished with various gemstones.
If possible, it hopes that you can help it find a partner who is equally noble and elegant... Well, this request was something Dumbledore promised it before but never did.
Even in the world of Hogwarts, the phoenix is a very rare species, and the Dumbledore family has been searching for generations without success. "
"Ah, I'll go to the secret treasure house in Star Castle some other day."
Mason promised with a headache, and finally wrote his name on the paper in his hand. Fox tilted his head and looked at the words. After reading them over and over again, he spit out a ball of fire that turned into a signature and fell on the paper.
Then the paper in Mason's hand burned, forming a unique power in the flying light feathers, and fell into his body like a hidden lock.
This is obviously a very advanced "contract", which fully proves that the phoenix can not only control fire, but also control magical powers.
"Wow, what a beautiful bird."
Harley, wearing a headscarf to allow the hair growth agent to take effect, walked up with her eyes blinking. She reached out and tried to touch Fox on Mason's shoulder, but the latter pretended not to see Harley's hand and suddenly pecked her when she got close.
The scorching heat almost burned Harley's fingers, scaring her so much that she jumped out and hid behind Barbara, causing Fox to raise his head and let out a delighted neigh.
Ah, yes! That's the picture of a crazy bird laughing up to the sky.gif
"This Phoenix's personality is not right!"
Mason said to his hat:
"Is it like this in Dumbledore's hands? Why do I feel like I've raised it the wrong way?"
"Uh, maybe it's because of the fire?"
The hat guessed:
“You kept feeding it hellfire, and some of the symbolism contained in this energy that comes from the chaotic side may have really affected the character of the Phoenix.
But it's not a big deal.
It is still a creature of order after all, you just have to be more careful in the future... Uh, Mason, change your clothes before you leave for Utopia."
"Hmm? My clothes are fine. I just changed them today."
"No... there's bird shit on your chest, and it's burning. Look, it's smoking! Hmm, I feel like there's something wrong with you, the phoenix."
——
Twenty minutes later, Mason with a sour face followed Wade, who was full of energy, through the world gates five times in a row and finally reached the border of Utopia.
Fox, who was still singing, was still standing on his shoulder. Everything seemed new to the newborn phoenix, and the experience of traveling through the world made it very fascinated and in a very good mood.
This is probably what Mason got after "sacrificing" his favorite windbreaker.
"We can't use the World Gate any further."
Wade, who had kept his promise and remained silent all the way, was finally able to speak, which made him feel extremely comfortable. Mason pretended not to see his crazy sign language along the way.
It's just like his fucking ninja hand seals.
This annoying guy always has ways to attract other people's attention.
He was standing in front of the gate of a desolate world, pointing at the Chaos Nebula in the distance and saying:
"We have to stay here and wait for the door to Utopia to open to us. That place is kept secret. Its world coordinates are constantly changing and cannot be locked by any external guidance."
"How long has it been blocked here?"
Amid Fox's elegant exclamation, Mason, with a bird on his shoulder, asked:
"How many mutants are there here?"
"I can't count them all."
Wade took out a wasteland version of Mexican burrito and ate it while saying:
"Since the impact began, almost all the mutant civilizations discovered have been relocated here. It's like merging several worlds together. I'm too lazy to care about this kind of thing.
But in my words, utopia is shit-flavored chocolate mixed with chocolate-flavored shit eggs, and it will disgust you no matter how you taste it. "
"It seems like you have a deep grudge against this place?"
Mason raised his eyebrows in surprise and said:
"Don't you think this is the only home for mutants in the apocalypse?"
"Tsk, I can live well without you in there."
Wade took a JOJO-style stance, with his hands on his hips and his lower body raised, and said with disdain:
"Would you like a place that kicked you out several times? I didn't do anything bad. I just painted on their palace and hooked up with a few girls from the royal family.
But that doesn't matter, you know what's the most disgusting thing? Mason."
Deadpool snorted, looking at the strange aircraft landing in the distance, he lowered his voice and said to Mason:
"The people in the X royal family are all mentally ill! They stubbornly believe that mutants and humans cannot coexist. Perhaps it's a disease they were born with. Mutants who want to join here must sever all ties with their human relatives and friends...
I may be a lunatic, but I also know some basic truths. How can you expect people who can abandon even their own families to come together and do great things? "
At this point, Wade's mask, which was full of overly expressive expressions, forced out a very weird and evil smile. He patted Mason on the shoulder and said:
"You asked me to choose between Utopia and the Star Club. Who do you think I would choose?"
"Why do I have to choose between two defenses?"
Mason reached out and put his arm around Wade's shoulders. He whispered:
"You now have a third choice, Wade. I may need to take up a little of your time to explain to you my views on this era. You can...
Um, what is this in your hand?
Why is it so sticky?
"Oh, I was bored waiting so... you know, it feels really good to reward myself with the Venom suit, but I don't know if the symbiote will get pregnant.
I guess it's unlikely, right?
well?
Why did your bird open its mouth at me?
What is this for?
This is……"
"boom"
As Mason watched indifferently, wiping his fingers with a handkerchief, the Phoenix Fire burst forth, burning the filth.
TMD, let the flames purify all filth!
