Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 31 However, all this is in the plan of Honorable Robin
Before, when Star-Lord and Black Panther drove the spaceship to take everyone to the Skyward Sword to rescue Lu Dan, Mason reminded the prodigal king that it was not a good thing to let a seemingly docile and loyal prince brother to govern the country for him.
Especially since this cousin had spent the first thirty years of his life preparing to inherit the throne.
This is like placing a time bomb under your bed with your own hands.
But maybe the T'Challa in this world is just playing for stimulation, just like when he hooked up with Storm even though he already had a girlfriend.
Right now Black Panther is in New York City to "audit" Lord Brainiac who has crossed the border, and Mason will have to bear the "bitter fruit" he has sown.
The three researchers were surrounded by kingdom guards wearing armor and holding Wakanda vibranium spears, while the real boss, Prince Eric the "Leopard", walked into the main control room escorted by several tall attendants.
He was very conspicuous in his gradient-colored Black Panther suit with mixed golden spots, which looked very luxurious.
From the strange styles of the uniforms worn by the guards beside him, it can be seen that his action this time was recognized by several tribes in Wakanda. It is unknown what kind of infuriating things Star-Lord Black Panther did when he was the king of his own country that caused the clan leaders under his command to collectively defect.
"Don't resist and you won't get hurt."
Prince Eric's voice sounded from under his helmet, with a hint of calmness, he said:
"You are all still guests of Wakanda. We are a country that values wisdom and does not engage in unnecessary killing. I need to ask you to return to your rooms and rest for a few days. After everything is settled, you will be escorted out of the country.
Brainiac does not covet our world.
All he wants is the perfect Ultron, and he will leave naturally when his desire is satisfied.
This is just a deal, not a kowtow to anyone."
"I think you have a slight misunderstanding of how the Council of Hope works, Your Highness."
Mason was pointed at by dozens of vibranium weapons that could fire high-energy lasers, but he did not panic. He maintained the most standard French military salute and said to the leopard in front of him:
"Brainiac is indeed not interested in your world, but the way he lets you go is definitely not to leave quietly without anything happening.
This is a privateering operation that is not allowed by the Council. In order to prevent his actions from being discovered by his colleagues, what kind of "silencing" measures do you think the World Collector will take against you?
I’m not saying you…”
Mason sighed and said:
"You dare to go all in without even checking the other party's background before making a deal. You are all real gambling freaks. The risk of dealing with you is too great."
"This is the risk we need to consider, Mr. Mason."
Eric's tone cooled.
This is normal.
No matter how rational a person is, they will not like their behavior to be criticized, especially when what the other party says is so reasonable that it is impossible to refute.
You don't even give me a chance to step aside. How can you be so unkind?
go!
Go to the small dark room and calm down for a few days, and reflect on how you should talk properly to His Majesty the King!
Golden Leopard waved his hand, and the palace guards stepped forward to imprison the three researchers, but suddenly a violent explosion sounded outside the door.
Several clown-painted terror grenades were thrown into the room, while a large area of Cyttorak's Crimson Chains were summoned from all sides.
Mason turned around and put the breathing mask on Dr. Reed's face. In the green smoke of fear, John Parker also completed his changing of clothes. Harley and Zack, who had been lying in ambush, took the opportunity to rush in.
As the fierce fighting sounds suddenly broke out, the entire control room was in chaos.
The Wakandans' vibranium armor and advanced weaponry are troublesome, but Mason began studying the properties of the metal long ago.
The most important thing is that his full vibranium power armor has rarely appeared since he entered this world, and he has been disguised as a scientific researcher. Obviously, this has caused the Golden Leopard to have an unnecessary "misunderstanding" of his true strength.
In short, a few minutes later, after the air circulation system in the main control room extracted all the fear gas inside, the ferocious palace guards were lying all over the floor.
Harley was taking off their armor and weapons to take back for the servants of Legion K to use.
Mason, standing behind Fenrir's armor, returned to the console expressionlessly and resumed remote communication. While fine-tuning the angle to observe what was happening in New York at the moment, he said to Prince Eric, who was tied tightly with scarlet chains and hung in the air behind him:
"In this world, you were brought back to Wakanda to be trained as the heir to the throne. You didn't have the opportunity to live the life of a mercenary, so you naturally couldn't develop a set of powerful martial arts that could rival the Black Panthers of all generations. Even if you ate the heart-shaped grass, you couldn't really become an excellent warrior.
I don't know how Norman convinced you to defect at this time.
But I am sure that you are just a cannon fodder to delay time. But don't worry, Your Excellency, I have no interest in judging your betrayal. I will leave it to your prodigal brother."
"That throne was originally mine! I've been preparing for it for twenty years!"
The hung leopard was instantly defeated and shouted:
"T'Challa should just stay in his southern galaxy and be a free and happy cosmic wanderer. That's the life he longs for, just like I long for the throne.
He told me many times that the throne was just a heavy burden for him.
Do you think he doesn't know what I'm thinking?
No! He was just indulging me in carrying out today's plan, begging me to give him a legitimate reason to give up my responsibility.
idiot!
I am just the executor of this rebellion.
The real mastermind is my bastard brother who plans to marry a female robot and disregards the responsibility of inheritance!"
"I told you, I have no interest in what happens between you brothers, Your Highness."
Mason waved his hand.
With a wicked smile, Zha Kang immediately stuffed a bunch of smelly socks into Eric's mouth, and used a "Disarm" spell to take off the leopard's Vibranium King's battle suit, which looked very expensive.
"Mason! Wakanda's border barrier has been opened, and a strange mechanical army is heading here."
Mr. Zhang checked the information on the console and shouted to Mason. Dr. Reed also stepped forward anxiously and tried to restart the barrier to preserve the last piece of pure land in this invaded world.
"It's useless. Leopard opened Wakanda's network to Brainiac. With that guy's terrifying intelligence and almost unlimited manipulation of data, this place will soon be completely taken over.
The Skrulls' strategy of implementing a global power outage is also intended to facilitate this takeover."
Mason pointed at the screen and said to the two:
"Look! The Exile spaceship is coming."
At this moment, everyone in the control room looked at the optical screen projected onto the wall in front of them, which was broadcasting live everything that was happening in New York City.
The sky, dyed purple by a special energy, was like a fluctuating mirror, or a portal to another world, and a silver spaceship as large as a city was slowly infiltrating from the sky into this material world.
Its appearance is very attractive.
The overall shape is a metal head magnified thousands of times, with complete eye sockets, nostrils and mouth. From a distance, it looks like an alienated "human head balloon".
Around the hundreds of propulsion devices below, there are octopus-like silver mechanical tentacles dancing in the air. They are as thick as tower cranes, but compared with the size of the skeleton ship, they appear much thinner, just like the blood vessels extending from a plucked head.
Evil, powerful, and creepy.
That was Brainiac's ship, the Exile.
It is his vehicle, laboratory, residence, collection warehouse and arsenal for traveling in the universe.
This was not the only lonely spaceship crossing the border at this time. Surrounding the huge, intimidating and oppressive Exile spaceship, densely packed small skull-headed spaceships were following closely behind like a swarm of bees.
The large and small spaceships were identical in shape, almost a perfect replica except for the size difference, and each spaceship had an operator who was exactly the same as Brainiac.
This is not a clone.
This is the unique "copy of consciousness" of intelligent data life, and the mighty skeleton fleet that is descending on the earth is the dreaded Brainiac Legion of Brainiac, the "Conqueror of the Universe".
A mechanical army created in the form of an ant colony!
The Earth heroes in New York City were dumbfounded.
They had just defeated the Skrulls with the help of Mason, but now they were confronted with this mechanical fleet that was ten times more dangerous than the Skrulls in every way.
The Skrull Queen, who had been beaten by Captain Carter and was lying on the ground with blood all over her face, raised her hands to the sky enthusiastically and shouted in the Skrull language:
"He loves us...Most High Brainiac, the great god of wisdom, he loves us..."
"Whoosh"
Captain Marvel and Thor, who reacted the fastest, rushed towards the Brainiac Legion that was crossing the border overhead. The small spaceships tried to stop them but were knocked over in the air.
Amid a series of explosions, the two powerful heroes rushed straight towards the largest spaceship, the Exile. Thor, holding Mjolnir, shouted Odin's name to call for thunder, while Captain Marvel directly entered the binary star form and prepared for a classic "flesh-killing spaceship" attack.
This scene looks cool.
As the thunder rolled ahead, Captain Marvel swung her fist and smashed the spaceship, as if the huge skeleton ship would be completely pierced in the next moment.
But unfortunately, a layer of purple energy matrix suddenly appeared and wrapped the entire spacecraft. No matter whether it was Thor's thunder or Captain Marvel's energy blows, only faint ripples would be splashed on it.
It's like ants biting a giant.
"Kinetic stasis and energy neutralization field...invincible black technology."
Mason in the Wakanda control room shook his head when he saw this scene. Brainiac's high-profile story was exactly the same as the stories about the conqueror of the universe in his memory.
This guy is one of the most powerful enemies of the Justice League no matter which world he is in. He has tortured Master and Superman to the point of near collapse several times, but now he is still calm when facing the Avengers.
The reaction of these guys who can only fight with brute force when facing the unique level 12 intelligent creatures in the universe is as ridiculous as stupid primitive people trying to attack spaceships with stone spears.
Just like Mason who was shaking his head at this moment, in the control room of the Exile, Brainiac, who was sitting on the extremely advanced mechanical throne, snorted with disdain.
This conqueror of the universe, god of wisdom and director of hope was even too lazy to personally deal with this group of "rebels".
His tall, cyborg body is covered with technological energy rings, and the mind readers extending from the throne are connected to his brain like tentacles, manipulating his own power with his wisdom and thinking as the main body of the legion.
It is worth mentioning that although Brainiac is very high-end, his appearance still maintains a human form and is not very scary. He has green skin and pointed ears.
If you don't look closely, it does look like a large Skrull.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Brainiac took the Skrulls as his servants? After all, even the most cold-blooded person would have some special emotions towards creatures that are similar to themselves.
The next moment, under the cold gaze of the green giant, the Brainiac Legion separated one-fifth of its miniature skeleton ships, accelerated away from the fleet, and swept through New York City at several times the speed of sound.
Various rays, force fields and weapons bombarded in turns. It looked chaotic but was actually well-organized.
Brainiac's database contains all the weaknesses of the heroes before him, and his spaceship's arsenal also has enough weapons to use.
If these savage guys think that they can compete with him by defeating the Skrulls who are his servants, then Old Bull doesn't mind opening their eyes and letting them see the majesty of a "level twelfth intelligent creature."
At this moment, Dr. Reed felt so cold just by watching the live broadcast of the optical projection that he felt his spine spin.
His super intelligence in judging the battlefield situation told him that the super conqueror in front of him was no ordinary person, and one third of the heroes who had been targeted by the successive bombardments had been laid down.
The evil six hiding in the crowd completed a sinister backstab at this moment, Captain Carter was knocked unconscious, and Cyclops's mind was disturbed.
Black Bolt was covered with a very special "silent" force field. The kind version of Thanos took several quantum bombs and was entangled by the god of war Ares.
Even the most powerful Thor and Captain Marvel have been captured by the Exile's mechanical tentacles.
If no help is given, total destruction is imminent.
"Mason!"
The doctor turned around and looked at the outsider beside him who was frowning and analyzing the situation. He shouted:
"I don't know what you were going to do, but you had anticipated this! You must have a backup plan, quick! Help them!"
"Oh, wait a minute."
Mason nodded and turned his eyes away from the screen.
The punishment of the Skrulls has been completed, all the traitors in this world have appeared, Brainiac has been led into this world, the perfect Ultron is only two gems away from being truly formed, and he has also sent news to potential allies.
All of his objectives in the first half of the current secret invasion had been accomplished, and now it was time to shift strategy and attempt a counterattack.
"Strange, help me."
He whispered.
A few seconds later, the shadows of several people in the main control room cast on the ground flipped strangely, covering their bodies like boiling mud, and dragging them out of the material plane.
Amid the flash of strange arc light, Mason and his companions were brought from Wakanda into a strange dark realm.
The gloomy-looking magician was floating on his cushion in a meditative posture. He closed his eyes and said in a bad tone:
"Next time you bother me with these little things, I will stuff your consciousness into a stinking worm and throw it into the lightless sea..."
"For the last time, sir, I promise."
Mason said something soft.
But from Hei's strange expression, it can be seen that he doesn't believe Mason's promise at all. Dr. Reed next to him wanted to say something but was held back by Harley and Zack.
Just shut up now!
If we anger this big guy, we will all be doomed.
"Buzz buzz buzz"
The faint vibration sound was like the echo of the vibration of a guitar string. As Dr. Reed looked back, the Earth heroes who were thrown into the realm of mass extinction by Brainiac were pulled into the dark realm one by one.
"Leave the best ones there."
Seeing that Black Strange was about to drag the captured Thor and Captain Marvel into the dark realm, Mason whispered to stop him:
"Keep them in the heart of the enemy so that we don't have to send them in again when we counterattack."
"They'll be manipulated."
Black Strange says:
"You're asking for trouble."
"It's hard to explain my thoughts to you, but listen to me, that's right."
Mason waved his hand.
Black Strange snorted and stopped the magic, which directly led to the most powerful heroes on Earth being captured by Brainiac and taken to the Exile.
A few seconds later, everyone who was sent into the dark realm woke up one after another. Captain Carter stood up with a look of shame on her face. She looked around and saw that most people were there, except for a few unlucky ones who were seriously injured.
The strongest ones like Thor, Carol, Black Bolt, and Thanos are nowhere to be seen.
"Okay, stop looking so sad."
Mason stepped forward.
He clapped his hands at the group of defeated heroes in front of him, asking them to look at him, and then he announced:
"It turns out that your counterattack plan is not enough to deal with the current situation, so now I will continue to take over the defense of this world. Does anyone have any objections?"
He looked around, but no one answered. Even the boiled egg with a broken leg remained silent.
"very good."
Mason nodded and said:
"Now it's time to plan a counterattack. Don't be afraid, everyone. Brainiac is indeed very powerful, but we are not without a chance of winning."
