Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 19 The Happy Life of Prisoners Zhakang and Mason
Mysterious impact events are clearly not the only disasters in the universe.
Even if there is no situation like the Infinite Earth Crisis, the people on Earth in countless parallel worlds always have various ways to kill themselves.
Seeking death has always been a precious human nature, said a bald observer who wishes to remain anonymous.
For example, the experience of Dark Doctor Strange is a typical example.
His world had already disappeared long before the first impact. In his words, it was just a "gift" that came with the failure of a doting man trying to rescue his beloved wife.
But the reality is much more complicated than this.
The first half of Doctor Strange's life...
To be precise, his life before he switched from a promising medical doctor to a Supreme Sorcerer was similar to the experiences of the time-space entities in other parallel worlds.
The only difference is that other Doctor Strange had car accidents that injured their hands and had to seek medical treatment, but our Black Strange was not only injured when he got into a car accident, but also caused his engaged wife to die in the accident.
This way, he had two reasons to study magic.
This gives him more motivation than other Doctor Strange to devote himself to magic. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. Other Doctor Stranges do it to save themselves, but he does it to save his wife.
However, sometimes too much motivation is not a good thing.
Dark Doctor Strange soon embarks on a less than correct path, and he spends all day thinking about how to bring his beloved Christine back from death.
At the beginning, he visited the demons of Hell and caused a lot of trouble. It was his mentor, the Ancient One, who had to clean up the mess for him. Later, the Ancient One realized that this was not going to work, so he "split" the possessed Doctor Strange into two.
The good side that focuses on maintaining order continues to stay in Kamar-Taj and live the life that Doctor Strange deserves.
And the possessed dark side was exiled to the secret castle of the first Doctor Strange, Agamotto, to reflect on his own deeds. It is obvious that the Ancient One hoped that Black Strange would change his mind and make him realize that the dead cannot be resurrected.
After all, this is the fate of the Sorcerer Supreme, the one that cannot be changed among countless destinies. In his world, if Christine did not die, Doctor Strange would not be born.
The two are causally related.
But for the guy who has already been possessed by the devil, what bullshit is cause and effect? Today I am going to "prove my truth with force"!
He thought so and did so.
Then he succeeded.
By using the forbidden devouring technique left by the first Supreme Sorcerer, he grew to the level of power of God in a short period of time and even surpassed God. He then successfully broke through the cause and effect relationship called "absolute time point", successfully turning himself into the most terrifying monster while also pulling his beloved wife back from death.
The price was the collapse of the absolute time point. The time system of the entire earth collapsed inward instantly. His world was the first to be reduced to ashes, which soon affected the entire plane.
The final outcome of this incident is that the world of Dark Doctor Strange is gone.
The wife he tried his best to save was not an "ultimate creature" like him and could not exist independently from the foundation of the world. Therefore, she died again in Hei Qiyi's arms without even being able to say "I love you".
It was a vain effort to draw water with a bamboo basket, and not only lost the wife but also the army.
As the last living creature on Earth, Dark Doctor Strange was fished out by the Observer Frog who was passing by when he was completely desperate, and was placed in the present world along with the last fragments of his own world.
The frog map did not restrict his actions.
As Mason said, even someone as powerful as Watu cannot force this to happen, but Hei Qiyi is now in a "disabled" state.
After all, his wife died, his world was gone, and all this was related to his stubbornness. The reason why he hadn't gone crazy was probably because he was determined.
But the more awake you are, the more painful it is.
As for these secrets, how did Mason know them?
Of course it’s because Dark Doctor Strange has a very unorthodox habit … he keeps a diary!
And that diary was placed on the bookshelf in this "Doomsday Realm". Because Mason showed him his diary, Black Strange also allowed Mason to read his diary.
"This guy's story is thrilling no matter how you read it. I thought he was just a madman who was obsessed with studying forbidden techniques, but I didn't expect him to be a warrior charging for love."
Zha Kang was sitting next to Mason at this time, stroking his chin while looking at the diary in front of him, and then he pouted and said to Mason with a sigh:
"Oh, this way, I and this black strange man can empathize with each other."
"You have no empathy at all!"
Mason disdainfully exposed the idea of Zha Kang to flatter himself. He carefully read the diary in front of him, especially the discussion on "absolute time point", and said:
"How can a sea ghost like you empathize with the world-destroying demon who loves him so deeply? He only loves Dr. Christine from beginning to end. What about you?
Can you count how many times you've cheated on me since you met me?
"Xiao Zha didn't summon thunder to kill you, which is a sign of her kindness."
"Ah, ah, ah, it's hard to be alone, brother."
Zha Kang held a cigarette in his mouth and complained:
"If Zuck died, I would go crazy and want to destroy the world, if I had the ability to do so.
You say that Black Stingy is really stingy. He wrote down all his spells and put them on the bookshelf. Magic such as the Form of Archaon, the Crimson Girdle of Cyttorak or the Ring of Raggadoor are all recorded in detail.
But the most powerful devouring secret technique does not have any details at all.
If I could learn this, and develop a pathetic habit of eating pica, I'd be able to kill Mephisto in Hell in a month at most."
"You think too much."
Mason curled his lips, looked back at Hei Qiyi who was meditating, then took out Lao Wan's helmet from his arms and handed it to Zha Kang, motioning him to put it on and take a look at Hei Qiyi's true face.
The latter blew out a smoke ring, put on his helmet, and looked in the strange direction of Hei Qi. In an instant, a chill rushed to his head.
Under the mental illusion of Lao Wan's helmet being peeled off, Zha Kang clearly saw Hei Qi's true face.
The body is twisted, with tattered wings on its back, and crooked ghost claws and arms that are closed like spider legs. There are no legs under the robe, only winding tentacles.
This guy's "face of an ancient god" has three heads alone. To be optimistic, two of them at least have human form, but the remaining one is a complete mixture of various demons and monsters.
There are seven eyes on his twisted forehead.
Pupils of different colors and sizes rolled, and the next moment they all looked at Zha Kang, scaring the black wizard so much that he quickly covered his eyes and dared not look again.
"Do you still want to learn now?"
Mason asked quietly, closed the black and strange diary, lit a cigarette, and said softly:
"It's impossible for such a fast and powerful method to be without hidden dangers. He is the Supreme Mage of a world and he has made himself look like this. His existence has probably been transformed into an 'evil god' by himself.
You, a dark wizard with no knowledge, should not get involved in this area. If you really want to learn something, you might as well learn from the hat and take the time to read those classics carefully."
He pointed beside the two of them.
The hat was now placed in front of an open magic book. A blurry human face appeared on the hat, reading the strange black magic book eagerly and muttering to himself.
It was obvious that he had become obsessed with it and was immersed in the ocean of knowledge about forbidden magic.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Zha Kang curled his lips, took off Lao Wan's head and put it in his arms, then asked with a wink:
"What about you? Are you really not going to leave? I've already told you that if one of us really has to be sacrificed to the evil god after nine days, I will definitely push you out."
"There are so many things going on outside, how can we waste time here?"
Mason replied, and under the gaze of Zha Kang, he took out a jug of water from his bag, poured it into a large basin, and then activated his mutant ability to recreate twelve water clones wearing different clothes. After they greeted each other politely, they started to get busy in groups of three or two according to Mason's original instructions.
Once they entered the various laboratories in the suitcase factory, branches such as alchemy, forging, engineering, inscription, jewelry processing and enchanting, tailoring, etc. began to operate in full swing.
Mason has too many ideas in his mind that need to be turned into reality.
This is a perfect opportunity. I can't get out anyway, so I can't continue wasting time here.
The improvement of the superman drug, the production of the BGF9000 electromagnetic gun, the material processing of the Isu artifacts and other branch skills, etc., things that originally required one pair of hands now finally have thirty-six pairs of hands to share the pressure.
Mason rubbed his stomach, lay down on the sofa next to him, took out the equipment for IV drip and gave himself a skillful injection.
The reason he didn't join in the busy work wasn't because he was slacking off, but mainly because the rejection reaction from the Superman drug he had drunk before had already begun.
"You will be much better off with the rejection this time."
A projection of Consus appeared beside Mason and said to him:
"My brother, your mutant ability has been activated to control water, giving you the property of 'self-purification of water', and the toxins accumulated in your body by the alchemical items can be quickly discharged.
Maybe all it takes is a few hours of rest before you can drink the super potion again."
"That being said, the weakness period doesn't just refer to the body."
Mason felt his body churning and his internal organs twitching. He said in a hoarse voice:
"My mind is really confused right now, and I can't think about important things until I get through this."
"Why don't you get some sleep?"
Consus smiled and said:
"You are under a lot of pressure right now. You have to compete with the terrifyingly powerful Doctor Strange. You can't be so tense. Didn't your 'mother' make a sleeping pendant for you?"
"this?"
Mason took out the small pendant that Harley had tried to put on him from his bag. He stroked it, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he tied it to the weapons belt around his waist.
The spiritual power left by the White Queen spread out, and soon Mason, who was in the state of rejection reaction, fell asleep.
Seeing that the bastard Mason actually slept in a swagger, Zha Kang was furious. He was still hoping that his captain would come up with some crooked ideas to convince Hei Qiyi to let them go.
"Constantine, do you have any insight into the casting process of Cyttorak's Crimson Girdle?"
The hat suddenly asked:
"I just understood the principle of how this forbidden spell works, but as you can see, I don't have the hands to make the seals to release it. Perhaps you can help me verify my guess?"
"It's so miserable that I don't have hands."
Zha Kang snorted in a mean way.
He wanted to say that he was busy.
But in fact, there was nothing he could do except lying there and wondering if Zuckerberg was cheating on him, so he curled his lips and moved closer to the hat.
He was rarely serious for a while and discussed Black Strange's strange magic with the hat.
All these changes were seen by the meditating Hei Qiyi.
He was a little curious.
After all, according to his guess, Mason would definitely not stay here obediently and would definitely choose to bargain with him. If the price he offered was right, it was not impossible for him to send them out to continue working in the outside world.
Watu doesn't want to see the timeline of this world being destroyed, but that is the Big Bald Observer's own business, and Hei Qiyi has no reason to satisfy his desire.
But this little guy Mason is really patient. Could it be that he has something to rely on?
——
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
It was calm outside, but in Mason's suitcase factory it was bustling with activity. In the engineering laboratory, Mason No. 1, wearing a bat suit, was directing Mason No. 7 and Mason No. 12 to assemble an electromagnetic gun energy source, while he himself was making the outer shell for the BFG9000.
The Mason clone, codenamed "Honorary Robin", urged loudly:
"That madman in the main body has already made up his mind to attack Black Strange together with the hunters in three days. He needs this devastating gun!"
"But this gun only fires three rounds!"
Mason No. 7, dressed as an engineer and wielding an engineering wrench, retorted:
"Our engineering skills are not up to par. We haven't reached the minimum production standards for a Falcon gun. I guess what we make will explode after one round."
"You think it's simple."
Beside him, Mason No. 12, who had a gentle tone and scholarly temperament, pushed his glasses and said gracefully:
"One burst is not a big deal, just make a few more samples.
According to a series of data summarized when the main body was beaten before, Black Strange's destructive power under normal circumstances is not actually strong enough to be exceptional. BGF9000 can hurt him when it is fully charged.
At worst, we can just shoot one and replace it with a new one. We still have time and enough materials.
Just make ten of them first! You can also improve your engineering skills at the same time.
And it's not just the Mason Engineering Department that's busy. Isn't the Mason Alchemy Department preparing a second-generation superhuman drug? A milder rejection reaction, a more concentrated burst of power, and enhanced magic resistance.
At least it can hold out for a little longer."
"Stop chatting!"
The three Masons were discussing heatedly when the door of the engineering laboratory was kicked open and Mason No. 8 strode in carrying two boxes of freshly melted metal materials.
The Mason, who was wearing a blacksmith's apron and a miner's helmet and whose face was covered in black dust, said in an irritable tone:
"The two roll masters of the Mason Jewelry Department are fucking crazy. They swear to repair the three broken charms within two days! This way, the Fenrir Armor will not need external energy and will rely entirely on the Life-Binding Rat Charm to maintain its operation.
Those two bastards who are as fierce as a dinosaur whip are putting a lot of pressure on everyone now. I think this is malicious competition.
The brothers from the 'Inscription Department' and the 'Tailoring Department' were almost pissed off.
They were thinking of slacking off.”
The three Masons in the engineering department looked at each other in bewilderment. Then, Mason No. 1 pushed his bat helmet, grinned grimly, and said:
“We are all Masons, why do three and six think they can outlast us?
It’s just a roll, who’s afraid of who?
Everyone in the engineering department, work harder and get to work!
I'll refurbish the Fenrir Armor later, according to the layout of the original body, and use his damn high-purity Urugin to thicken the internal magic-conducting frame by two layers!
No!
Three floors!
Then call the guys from the Inscription Department over to complete the Olympus Inscription, which has the strongest resistance to magic! Fortunately, the main body had kept a trick up its sleeve before, so the details of this treasure were not discovered by Hei Qiyi.
Let’s wait and see in three days!
Once the main body has come up with a complete "anti-Doctor Strange tactic", if we don't beat him up and make him bruise all over his face, he won't know how many eyes the Horse King has!"
“That’s right!”
The other two Mason clones also started to make noises, waving their engineering wrenches and shouting:
"You actually dared to challenge the Bat Family's top fighter to a fight. It's time to bring out the master's fine tradition. We may not be able to win in a skirmish, but a fight...
Haha, that’s another concept!”
