Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 22 Secret Invasion Phase 1
The evil god Big Eye Demon from the Lightless Sea is very powerful. He is a more difficult enemy to deal with than Black Strange.
But how to say it?
Hei Qiyi, who had summoned a powerful helper, was obviously more powerful. After a long and fierce battle, he finally obtained the body of an evil god to complete the final forbidden devouring technique.
Others' work wasn't in vain, at least Mason's.
He was currently sitting on the main eye of the Big Eye Demon that was blinded by Ciri. The Black Death Sword extended from his left hand had just finished feasting on the evil divinity and was now burping and returning to Mason's hand.
"Sleepy... too full... sleep... complete... wait patiently..."
Intermittent thoughts were transmitted from the Black Death Sword armor to Mason's heart. The divinity from an evil god made it overwhelmed for the first time. After all, it was just a small fragment of the complete Black Death Sword and it couldn't ask for too much.
It was "fed" so well by Mason that it was about to go into hibernation to digest the nutrients in its body in order to complete its "evolution".
Mason watched the lazy Black Death Sword battle suit return to his wrist and turn into a black tattoo again. He then looked down and saw Zha Kang holding a chopping axe and selecting his "trophies".
He planned to cut off a tentacle of the evil god from Shuma Golas as a test subject for the first stage of his "forbidden devouring technique".
For a dark wizard who has a lot of enemies in heaven and hell, if he doesn't work hard to learn from a witch master like Black Strange, he would be letting down his past torture of being imprisoned.
"Look what I found, sweetheart!"
Harley, covered in blood, ran to Mason holding something. When she opened her hands, she saw a gem-like evil god's eyeball in her hand.
I don't know where she found it, but this thing is really suitable for making accessories such as rings or pendants.
"I'll make you a ring in a minute. Go pick out the base and pattern first."
Mason smiled at his little cutie, who cheered.
He took the sample drawing handed to him by Mason and jumped down to discuss the appearance of his new ring with his two dogs who were hesitating whether to taste the "evil god's meat".
“This is my first time hunting an evil creature of this level. If the demon hunters organize a hunting competition, I will accomplish a true lore kill.
My father would be proud of me.”
Ciri's voice came from behind. The sword of the Lady of the Lake in her hand was still dripping with filthy blood, but the golden light on it was dancing and shining even brighter, as if this sword of virtue was also singing praises for today's feat.
"I think Sir Geralt should be more thankful that his daughter's illness has finally been cured."
Mason lit a cigarette, blew out smoke rings and said in a low voice:
"Black Strange promised to help you untie the fusion of your soul with Mephisto, which made me feel much more relaxed. We no longer have to go through the difficult choice of having to die for the sake of a great goal.
I never thought that this seemingly ordinary world would contain so many adventures."
"And you've found a new backer."
Ciri stepped forward and stood beside Mason with a sword in hand. She brushed her long hair a little tiredly and glanced at the black monster not far away who was preparing for the final devouring.
She whispered:
“This is the most powerful guy I have ever seen… His unfathomable strength is enough to earn him an honorable position in the Hope Council, and now, he has become a non-staff member of Team K.
Old A's control over you has been further weakened. Even if you turn against him now, he may not be able to do anything to you."
"No, why now?"
Mason shook his head and said:
"Obviously it's not the right time yet. Old A is very valuable, and we must use those valuable things properly. But you are right, it does feel good to have such a big guy as a backer.
It’s like before we had to do things secretly and always felt uneasy, but now at least we have some support, allowing us to give it a try when necessary.
Are you going back?"
He blew out a smoke ring and looked at Ciri. The hunter hesitated for a moment, stroked his silver hair and asked back:
"Why? You don't want me to leave?"
"Yes, indeed."
Mason answered calmly:
"The matter of the Black Strange has come to an end, but there are still troubles outside. The Skrulls may invade this world at any time. I tried my best to build a resistance army.
But I think it is far from enough.
Didn't you tell me that the Skrulls were servants of some big shot on the Council of Hope?
Although there is no concrete evidence, I can feel that their motives for launching this secret invasion here are not pure , and they are waiting for a certain time to come.
My uneasiness was growing.
Experience tells me that if I have you by my side, my ability to handle crises will be greatly improved."
"You actually just need to ask me to stay."
Xili said faintly:
"There's no need to say so much. Fine, I can stay. The reason for going out this time is to inspect the various realms. It won't be a big problem if I stay a little longer.
The Swordsman has been secretly instigating the Deadpool Legion to cause trouble in the resource world under the Warlock's command. This action seems to have been supported by Utopia and has made the Warlock's servants a little exhausted.
He doesn't have that much energy to monitor my actions.
But I can't stay too long, if I attract the attention of Lord Fate, it will be more trouble than it's worth."
"It's okay, just listen to me."
Mason shook his head and said:
"Just let it focus. Hei Qiyi is confident that he can resist it. By the way, we can also see the limit of our new friend's ability. I always feel that he still has some reservations."
"You two should go somewhere more private to discuss such secrets."
A strange voice sounded faintly in the ears of Mason and Ciri. He said:
"You discuss using me so blatantly. Is this the way your Star Club does things? It's really eye-opening. Also, I have to remind you, Mason.
Just because I'm interested in the solution you propose doesn't mean I'll join you.
Devouring Shuma's evil god body is a long process, and I don't have much time to spare. I can help you with some small things, but you'd better not disturb me too often."
"learn!"
Mason called upon the magic fire to burn the cigarette butt in his palm, and then said to Hei Qiyi:
"What about Frog? Will he be a problem?"
“Watu and his people are watching, that is their mission.
They are very interested in everything that can be observed. Although he doesn't want you to interfere with what is going on in the world, if you insist on doing it, he won't interfere. "
Hei Qiyi let his left hand transform into an evil tentacle and pierce into the evil body in front of him, squeezing out the remaining powerful strength in it as if they were fused together.
Without even turning his head, he said:
"Don't provoke him, and he won't be a problem for you."
"But the observers seem to be very strange beings."
Mason frowned and said:
"Does our world also have observers like Watu? Aren't they restricted by parallel worlds and don't have time-space anomalies?"
“They are pluralistic and unique.”
Hei Qiyi explained with a little impatience:
“The civilization that Watu belongs to has long ago achieved the ascension of life forms through technological means. They have the ability to travel freely in parallel worlds. I guess they have been silently observing the birth of your organization and every outbreak that impacted every plane.
They won't get involved in anything unless it's a peculiar, weirdo like me?
alright.
If it's not too abrupt, I'd like to ask you to leave now. The following scene will be a little... bloody. For the sake of your poor sanity, you'd better not stay here."
"How can I contact you?"
Mason asked as he stood up.
Hei Qiyi whispered:
“Call my name and I will hear it.
Finally, I would like to remind you, Mason, that I am not interested in anything that happens in the outside world. If you encounter any trouble here, don’t call me, unless it is something you think I would be interested in…”
“I understand.”
Mason nodded, and led his companions to the exit of this dark realm. With Black's strange spell, he sent them out of New York without alerting any members of the Sanctuary of the Holy.
After seeing off the "guests", Hei Qi twisted his body and completely released his evil god appearance. Just like an ant swallowing a giant, he began to drive his tentacles and those strange heads to bite the evil god's body.
Just as he said, the process was too bloody.
"A new era... a singularity... a place where time does not exist... oh, my Christine... this may be the last chance... the only chance... another end game..."
The chaotic voice whimpered in the darkness, without any sadness or joy, and even made people feel cold.
Even the longing seems so distorted.
But you can't deny it.
This world destroyer who charges for love is truly a role model in terms of emotional persistence.
…
“Ah, it feels so good to be free!”
In a wilderness outside New York City, Zack Kondo knelt on his knees with his arms open to the moon in the night sky, posing in a classic scene of the redemption of a kidney-cutter.
But no one paid any attention to him while he was going crazy. After all, the two girls in the team were surrounding Mason.
Needless to say, the cutie Harley was pestering Mason to make her a cool and beautiful pinky ring, and to engrave some of her favorite patterns on the ring.
Ciri, a great mentor with rich pioneering experience, is also very busy.
She took out a very sophisticated instrument and put it on her wrist, which began to connect to the world's network and automatically invade communication satellites to search for all useful information.
Because she was in an unexplored alien world and everyone around her already knew her identity, Ciri no longer hid her true identity and showed it to everyone.
The perfect pair of legs and the classic look of riding boots made Zha Kang look over here frequently...
Well, she has a great figure, delicate features, and her natural silver hair is a big plus. The scar on her face is not a problem at all, but instead adds a touch of bravery and elegance of a female warrior.
There are no major disadvantages except that the breasts are a little small.
Mason has good taste!
Zha Kang was making some calculations in his mind.
Of course, he is a self-aware scumbag and naturally would not go and flirt with a tough girl whom he cannot afford to offend. Just look at Ciri's swordsmanship when she attacked the evil god just now, which was enough to make Kang have some important organs cut off by her before she did anything bad.
The lady with the sword...tsk, I can't afford to offend her.
Mason didn't choose the place. Solving Black Strange's problem made him happy, so he simply set up the alchemy table on the spot and helped Harley polish the evil god's eye gem to make accessories.
Taking this opportunity, he could finally ask the question that he had always been curious about.
"Ciri, do you have your own pioneering team?"
"Yes, the three mentors all have their private teams, but the composition is different from your pioneering team. Ours is called the Guard Team."
While browsing the important information of this world, Ciri explained casually:
"The Grand Master always has privileges, just like the Ghost Knights you saw in your hometown before. All members have been blessed with power by Lord Fate, and the same is true for our Master Guard.
There may not be many of them, but each one is an elite.
As far as I know, the Swordsman's guards come from the border of Hell which she rules. Because she has a good compatibility with the power of the devil, she has a legion of hell under her command.
As the most powerful force in the Star Society, her guards can defeat several legions of cleaners head-on, but because the creatures of Hell are brutal and difficult to control, she rarely uses her guards.
As for the Warlock...
That guy's guards are elite and have been kept hidden so no one knows how many of them there are, but they are definitely not weak.
As for my guards.
I'll keep it a secret for now, and when they are really needed I'll let you know so you can come and watch the fun."
The hunter brushed his long silver hair, smiled at Mason, and said:
"It will definitely make your jaw drop."
This scene fell into the eyes of Zha Kang who was on guard nearby. The dark wizard couldn't help curling his lips and cursing "bastards" in his heart. He was hesitating whether to go to Harry to start a fire...
Hmm, it would be interesting to see the fire in Mason's back.
"Um?"
Just as Zha Kang was thinking about doing something bad, the hunter who was retrieving information frowned as she looked at the instrument in her hand that suddenly lost the signal. She looked up at the sky and said to the people around her:
"There is clutter in outer space that is interfering with satellite communications. Based on my experience, this is likely the beginning of a large-scale information war. Something is about to happen."
"boom"
As soon as the crow-mouthed female boss finished her words, a loud bang exploded in the center of New York City not far away.
The flames shot up into the sky, causing Zha Kangdu to instantly put on his magic floating cloak and fly into the air to check.
It was midnight. As Zha Kang watched, the lights of thousands of houses in the city seemed to be covered by a black curtain. Within just a few seconds, the originally bright night city suddenly became pitch black.
"Major blackout!"
He called out over the team comms:
"There's a massive power outage. The entire city has lost power. No, not just the city. It's very likely that the entire world has been attacked. The Skrulls hiding on Earth have taken action!
But why now?
Is there any special significance to this time point? "
"have!"
Mason reached out and spread out the SHIELD's ancestral pager given to him by Agent Maria Hill when he left the Sky Sword. This gadget, which had been transformed with the technology of the Kree Empire, had a SHIELD emblem shining on its shabby display.
"Lu Dan and the others are approaching the earth."
The captain looked up at the night sky and said:
"I guess it's not just them who are coming. The Skrull fleet is also approaching this world. This power outage is the result of their coordination.
Harley, activate special communications, assemble the X-Men, and contact Mr. Zhang to check on the situation in Wakanda."
"receive!"
The little cutie saluted with a standard military salute and touched his heels together, then took out a device from his bag that could maintain communication without relying on external energy.
Designed by Judy and modified by Barbara, Harley squatted there, grabbed the waist bar and turned it vigorously for more than ten times just like starting a tractor.
Then, with the humming sound of the built-in energy source, she played the role of Mason's communications soldier and issued instructions to the two forces.
Mason was not very anxious.
He had long anticipated that this scene would happen sooner or later, and he had already made all the necessary preparations. He was even now making the evil god's eye ring for Harley in front of the alchemy table.
As the saying goes, this divine object is created by nature. It does not require too much jewelry processing skills to embellish it. It only needs an inlaid base and engraving.
A few minutes later, as Mr. Zhang roared that Wakanda was invaded, Mason handed the finished ring to Harley, who glanced at Ciri next to her, coughed deliberately, and stretched out her finger in a gesture of waiting to be put on.
Mason curled his lips, knelt on one knee, and put the ring on the little cutie's finger in response to her desire to show off.
This scene was also seen by Zha Kang, who would not miss any gossip, and made the evil-minded black wizard happy.
Ha, no need to add fuel to the fire myself! It turns out that Harley knows about Ciri's potential threat. Tsk tsk, Mason, who is so stupid, doesn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.
Zha Kang rubbed his fingers excitedly.
Oh, well done on this wave of assertion, Harley cutie! There's more to come.
