Volume 5: The Young Wolf Seeks Home Chapter 78: Humiliation, provocation, smuggling, for the crimes you committed, Mason, our punishment for you is...
When Mason returned from the "Planet Test Site" to the entrance of this special area, the Grand Master Swordsman was so bored that he almost fell asleep. However, seeing that Mason had been with the dangerous X-Beast Hank for so long without any harm, Liana was relieved.
She whispered to Mason:
“That Hank is more than just a research scholar. In the previous incident where Professor Supreme was attacked and injured, he killed seventeen mind-controlled conquerors by himself.
No one knows how he does it, but this guy is definitely the most dangerous guy in the X-Royal Family.
You can actually make friends with him, you are amazing."
"Rather than being impressed by my ability to make friends, I am more interested in the attack on the Supreme Professor."
Mason said:
"Do you know the inside story?"
"Me? Do you think that a small leader of the Star Club like me would have any way of knowing the secret details of the attack on a powerful member of the Hope Council?"
Liana leaned on her soul sword and said with a curled lip:
“You think too highly of me, but that kind of thing is nothing more than a conspiracy for power and profit. Perhaps it is a signal that the infighting within the Council, which has already become uncontrollable, will turn into a more dangerous conflict.
I only know that after the Supreme Professor was attacked and injured, nine Beyond Grade A worlds and their representatives have been implicated, and the Conquerors have been extremely busy recently.
All day long, he is either destroying the world or demolishing that planet.
But this time, the Skrulls' lurking incident suddenly made me realize that perhaps there were deeper reasons behind the attack..."
"Alas, it's not peaceful outside, and it's even more peaceful inside. Look at what's happened."
Mason shook his head and jumped away from the test field with Liana. The swordsman wanted to take him to visit other famous cities in the Utopia world, but Mason, who had something else on his mind, declined the invitation.
He had to go back quickly, extract the information from Hank's chip and start preparing for this matter from now on.
However, when Mason and the Swordsman returned to the space point where they left Utopia, what was waiting for them was a shabby spaceship that had come from nowhere.
Just looking at the appearance, it looks like the African style of Wakanda. The black surface of the spaceship is also decorated with many wild-style paint jobs. Deadpool, holding a burrito and a milkshake, is leaning against the side of the spaceship and eating and drinking.
After seeing Mason and the swordsman coming over, he shouted happily:
"Look what I found? The spaceship that our group of X refugees took when they arrived at Utopia! This poor thing has been thrown into Magneto's dismantling plant No. 3 to be scrapped, and I used my good looks to get it.
This is a good thing given to us by Storm's rich husband. Alas, both Storm and her husband are dead.
What a shame, she has such a nice figure.”
"It seems a bit inappropriate to tease the dead like this, right?"
Mason looked at the Wakanda spacecraft in front of him, which was obviously a transport model. Although it was indeed a bit shabby and its most precious vibranium coating had been completely dismantled, its main functional areas were not damaged.
It can still be used after some repairs, and compared to the overly advanced X Royal spacecraft, this high-tech gadget may be more suitable to become the standard combat and support aircraft of the "Second Black Pearl".
"Not very good! They're all dead, what do they care what I say about them?"
Faced with Mason's statement, the casual Deadpool expressed disdain.
While munching on his snacks, he took out a set of black underwear from his bag and showed it to Mason under the swordsman's contemptuous gaze.
He even boasted proudly:
"Look, Storm's original underwear! Guess how I got it? I'm not exaggerating, but if I hadn't turned myself into an ugly monster because of the damn cancer and the awakening of the X-gene, there would be no T'Challa.
Which of the girls in X-Men has a "token of love" that I don't have?
When I have time, I will take you to the secret base of the Deadpool Corps and show you my proud collection. Scarlet Witch's yoga pants, Jean Grey's bikini, and the White Queen's belly-baring dress, wow, they are all really good stuff."
"Alright, stop bragging about your glorious achievements. It's almost causing me psychological trauma."
Mason shook his head and said to the swordsman beside him:
"I really need this spaceship. Let's use it to leave here. After leaving Utopia, you can open the time tunnel to Osborne Tower."
"Okay, I have no problem with that."
The swordsman agreed with his hands on his hips , and Mason turned to board the airship, but Deadpool glared at him and reminded him:
"Did you forget something?"
"ah?"
Mason was stunned for a moment, looked up and down, and said:
"They're all here... ah, yes, my little bird, it flew away on its own when the swordsman was carrying it just now. Hat, can you call Fox over?"
"You called it by its name yourself."
The hat said somewhat listlessly:
"There is a contract between you and the Phoenix. It can hear your voice and come back to you no matter where you are."
"What’s wrong with you?"
Mason was keenly aware of the hat's not very high mood, so he asked:
"Is it because I didn't stand in your shoes and rebuke the Supreme Professor's hypocrisy and shamelessness?"
"No, you've done good enough."
The hat sighed and said:
"The world of Hogwarts has been destroyed, and you have rescued the last survivors and obtained a personal promise from the Supreme Professor for them. I can't ask you to do more.
I just...
How to say it?
It's a pity.
In the eyes of the Supreme Professor, the destruction of a low-level world is a pressure that can be offset by a promise. I even feel that the reason why he is so generous is more for your face rather than the destruction itself.
In this dark age, being weak is the original sin."
“It’s very realistic, but I have to say it’s true.”
Mason called Fox's name and said:
"Look at the bright side, Hatter. Your world is left with a bunch of little wizards, and my hometown is left with only a few X-Men and the continuators who have drifted to who knows where.
We are all poor fellows who share the same suffering, no wonder we can get along so happily. "
"joy?"
The hat snorted and said:
"What I want is for you to quickly turn yourself into a master tailor and sew me back to the most perfect shape. This half-baked appearance now cannot be called happiness."
"Buzz"
A ball of dancing light feathers and flames bloomed before Mason's eyes, and then Fox appeared, flapping his wings of fire gracefully, and landed steadily on Mason's shoulder.
It pretended not to notice Mason's gaze asking where it was going, tilted its head and used its beak to adjust its feathers, and gave a short urge to its useless owner to set off quickly.
The proud Phoenix-sama doesn't like this dangerous world...
Then, it burped a little, not-so-gentlemanly, as Mason watched.
"Hey! What did you eat when you ran out?"
Mason sat in the cabin of the spaceship at Deadpool's urging, and whispered to the bird on his shoulder:
"Don't eat anything carelessly. You're just a juvenile phoenix. You'll die if you eat something poisonous."
Facing Mason's chattering, Fox glanced at him arrogantly, meaning that you, a rookie, should stay out of the business of our noble Phoenix. This made Mason look annoying, so he jumped and turned his butt towards him.
The long, thin tail feathers carried a high-temperature flame that almost burned Mason's hair.
Tsk, what an arrogant, pampered and narcissistic pet...
Mason complained in his mind, but didn't dare to complain too harshly in case Fox would sense his complaint in a contract similar to the "soul link".
The slime monster Kevin appeared in Mason's palm with a wronged look on his face, showing his almost roasted body to his owner.
It is a mud monster that naturally likes a humid environment. The arrival of the Phoenix Fox made Kevin miserable, and he and Mason seemed to be in the same boat.
Mason sighed again, gathering moisture in his palms to calm the slime monster that was afraid of Fox, and at the same time he stretched out his hand and placed it on the hull of the spaceship next to him, intending to use the time to complete the analysis of the blueprints of this Wakanda spaceship.
But a few seconds later, Mason looked at Wade Wilson with strange eyes, who was holding the rudder and trying to control the spacecraft to break out of the Utopia atmosphere.
The latter seemed to be in a good mood and even hummed a song with very pornographic content.
"Hey, Wade!"
Mason asked coldly:
"What did you put in the hangar of the ship?"
"ha?"
This question startled Deadpool, who was driving the spaceship. He suddenly deflected the rudder in his hand, causing the three of them to make a 720° turn in the air. Then, in the subsequent frantic operation, he struggled to pull the spaceship into a stable state.
Deadpool laughed dryly, and then said in an attempt to cover up his mistake:
"Oh, it's nothing, they're just some sex toys I purchased in Utopia, some pretty naughty stuff but something my wife loves...a good boy like you wouldn't want to know."
"Oh, so the sex toys you and your wife are referring to are the 374 Utopian mutants who tried to sneak out of the country without permission?"
Mason pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and said in a condescending tone:
"It seems that you and your succubus wife are really into all kinds of things. Do you need nearly four hundred people to watch and provide various services for both of you every time you mate?"
"bass"
The swordsman's reaction was more direct. She drew her soul blade and pressed it against Deadpool 's neck. She scolded:
"Damn it! Wade, you're courting your own death! You're taking us with you. The crime of smuggling so many compatriots out of Utopia at one time is not the same as you painting on the Great Council Hall.
You will be sent to the 'leech platform' for euthanasia!
Turn!
quick!
Get them back before the Alpha Sentinels find them, or we'll be destroyed here."
"It's too late."
Mason looked with a headache at the black X-shaped assault spacecraft that flew out from the Utopia airspace behind the spacecraft, which was surrounded by twelve silver-gray sentinel robots.
Just like chasing an enemy plane, it chased after the tattered Wakanda fighter plane.
"Boarding! Interstellar boarding! I've wanted to try it for a long time!"
Wade yelled as he unbuckled his seat belt, pulled out his pistol and high-carbon steel sword, and then grabbed an armed belt full of grenades from under the seat and put it on himself.
But the swordsman glared at him fiercely, then reached out and grabbed Mason's wrist, intending to jump out with Mason before the sentins surrounded him.
"The spaceship ahead will stop immediately! We have been ordered to convey a special order from the X Council to Mason Cooper! At the same time, we have detected that there are 374 compatriots on your spaceship who have left the country without permission!
Stop the boat immediately for inspection!
First warning! "
A low and hoarse voice sounded over the spacecraft's communication, carrying a sense of indifference and threat. Twelve silver-gray sentinel robots accelerated and flew around the Wakanda airship.
These robots are clearly designed based on the appearance of the Stark armor in the Mark series, but they are covered with weapon bays.
The worst thing is that these sentinel robots were originally designed to find and hunt mutants, so the scanners and search systems they are equipped with can directly detect the X gene.
There is no way to run in this situation.
However, the X royal family has a way. They directly transformed the evil robots originally used to exterminate mutants into their own loyal guards. At present, this batch is just the most primitive hunting sentinels.
In the Utopia system, there are also more advanced Alpha Sentinels and the legendary "Nimrod-class" Sentinels.
That thing controlled by the mother module, shared thinking, autonomous learning and rapid proliferation and evolution is already a star-destroying weapon. This technological power alone is enough for Mason, as an engineer, to show enough respect for the X royal family.
"Stop the boat!"
Mason stopped the swordsman from taking the risk of jumping away with him, and shouted to Deadpool:
"They have a message for me. Although it is likely to announce that I will be permanently deported, I have something that may allow us to leave safely."
"Are you sure?"
At this moment, "Gun Deadpool", who has armed himself to the teeth and exaggeratedly carries a Vulcan cannon on his back, has his hand on the instrument to summon the Deadpool Legion.
But when he saw Mason nodding, he shrugged and stopped the spaceship obediently. He just handed over his own life and the lives of 374 compatriots he "rescued" to Mason.
Deadpool is a lunatic, there's no doubt about that.
But he does have a kind of "good luck" that cannot be explained by science or other theories. In this life-and-death moment, other people will try their best, but Deadpool chooses to leave everything to his own intuition...
He won't die anyway!
It doesn’t matter if you guess wrong.
"My name is Mason Cooper."
Mason responded to the call from the spacecraft behind him at the control console and said:
"What is the punishment for my disrespect and humiliation before me by Council X? I am ready to accept it. Speak , fellow citizens.
But the 374 mutants on this spacecraft are my assistants selected for special missions . You can verify this with Mr. Hank, the Chief Scientific Officer of the X Royal Family.
This is not smuggling.
At most, it was an incomplete departure declaration, but considering the confidentiality of the mission, I don’t think it was a mistake.”
There was silence for a few seconds, and then the cold voice sounded again:
"The order is confirmed, and the smuggling charge is cancelled. But Wade Wilson, you are permanently expelled, and Utopia no longer welcomes you back. As for Mr. Mason Cooper...
Because of your outstanding contribution to Utopia in identifying dangerous spies, the X Council has decided to award you the honorary titles of "Honorary Citizen of Utopia" and "Royal X Knight".
We have prepared a residence for you in the Capital District and welcome you back home at any time.
Now please open the hangar of the spaceship. These twelve hunting sentinels will serve as your "knight squires" and participate in daily security. After your title enters the next stage, you can return to your hometown to apply for Alpha-level sentinel guards."
"???"
The three people in the spaceship were stunned at this moment.
The swordsman's expression was particularly interesting. She rubbed her cheeks as if she were in a dream, and said to Mason:
"You are probably the first bastard in history who insulted the congressmen in person and was rewarded. It can't be said to be unprecedented, but it can only be said to be unprecedented."
"Hey, what you said is a bit ambiguous."
Deadpool, who escaped the disaster, winked and said:
"Brother Mason's thing is huge, it must be unprecedented. I found some private photos of them making out in his girlfriend's room before..."
"Bang"
Johnny's gun was drawn.
Mason, holding the gun in his left hand, shot the nasty Deadpool in the head with Death Eye and quick draw. Amid the blood splatter, he wiped the blood off the muzzle expressionlessly and said to the communicator:
"Thank you for the award and assistance from Council X. Please express my apologies and gratitude to all the council members on my behalf."
“That doesn’t have to be the case.”
The person on the other side still spoke in a calm and indifferent tone. He said:
"Utopia wishes every fellow citizen to fulfill their duties and responsibilities. This is the Phoenix Five's combat captain, codenamed Supreme Cyclops. Communication ends."
After saying that, the X-spaceship behind turned around and returned.
Mason watched it leave, and after the twelve hunting sentinels entered the airship containment cabin, he moved forward along the route set by Deadpool.
He looked at the dark stars behind him, and after a few seconds, he whispered:
"Goodbye, fellow countrymen."
