Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 32 So, this game is actually the God of Wisdom VS the God of Data
The heroes' morale is low after their recent defeat, and after witnessing what Brainiac had done against them, those who survived feel that there is little hope of a counterattack.
Especially the aliens who have lost their leader.
After Black Bolt was captured, Medusa became the temporary leader. However, they were all extremely weak, obviously weakened by Brainiac using special means.
Mason knew that he could no longer play word games at this time. He had to tell these defeated soldiers what to do in the most direct way. Giving them a clear goal would be more useful than spending time helping them adjust their morale.
"Brainiac's apparent purpose in coming to this world was to replace his body, and Perfect Ultron was the 'divine body' he chose for himself.
But there is a prerequisite for uploading the consciousness of this level 12 intelligent creature.
The perfect Ultron must collect all six infinite stones in this universe. Only in this way can the robot you made with your own hands complete the "upgrade" of life form in your hometown.
Only a complete Six Gem Ultron can possess infinite possibilities and be tough enough to avoid being dismantled and collapsed by heavy pressure."
In the strange dark realm, all the awakened heroes sat on the ground. In front of these hundreds of people, Mason was holding a bamboo pole and pointing at a small blackboard.
He made a mind map to make his plan look concise and clear.
He said to the crowd:
"Now that Ultron has four gems, there is no need to have any illusions about the remaining space gem. If I am not mistaken, the thing that disappeared on Earth should have fallen into the hands of Dr. Doom.
Doom is the last member of the Sinister Six, so he will deliver the Space Stone to Brainiac personally.
Therefore, the only room for maneuver left for us is the most mysterious soul gem.
The Skrulls should have prepared this thing in advance, but because of your heroic resistance, the Skrulls lost the game early, forcing Brainiac to take the field himself.
Therefore, the Soul Stone has become the 'match point'!
Whoever gets it will dominate the game.”
"Isn't that thing on Vormir?"
The scumbag next to him whispered:
"This is no secret in the Star Society. Many teams have tried to find this gem in different universes."
"That's another universe."
Mason shook his head and emphasized:
"I have consulted our extremely powerful Dark Doctor Strange, and he told me that the Soul Gem of this world has been transferred. It is obvious that the most peculiar member of the Infinity Stone has its own consciousness and is unwilling to be obtained by the Skrulls.
It is currently hidden among the stars.
The good news is that Dark Doctor Strange is on his way to find the gem, and it might take a while to get you there.
The bad news is that Brainiac is also looking for it, and I don't think that would be a problem for a level 12 intelligent being.
This is a competition and time is of the essence.
In addition, you need to be mentally prepared for some cruelty. The famous "soul for soul" operation of the Soul Stone means that no matter which side wants to get it, they must pay a price. "
"Then what?"
Fury, who was sitting cross-legged in front of Mason, looked pale, but his mind was still working quickly. He asked:
"If we get the last Infinity Stone, how will we fight back? That bastard is so powerful that he has all our weaknesses. It turns out that even if we unite, we are no match for him.
unless……"
Lu Dan's gaze passed Mason and fell on the black monster not far away who was in a meditative state, wandering in the depths of the universe searching for the location of the Soul Gem.
Mazefak whispered:
"Unless this mysterious big man is willing to help."
"Don't even think about it. He is a cold-blooded man. He has no interest in the survival of your world. He is helping you out of my meager favor."
Mason shook his head, and without keeping any secret, he said to Fury and the other heroes:
"But I have already found reinforcements. They will send news at any time and are very likely to participate in this world's counterattack against Brainiac's tyranny.
This is the job I need to take on!
Everyone, I will be responsible for finding a big guy to escort you, and you will find a way to get the Soul Stone. The two-line operation must ensure that both goals are achieved, otherwise the counterattack will be in vain. "
"What does he do to the innocents of this world?"
Captain Carter clenched her fists, and she asked in a hoarse voice, admiring the feeling of frustration:
"That Brainiac, what will he do to our compatriots?"
"Don't worry, he won't start a massacre."
Mason replied:
"Brainiac is a rather peculiar being.
He prides himself on his absolute rationality and would not do such a meaningless thing. Instead of worrying about the harm he will do to the world, we should worry about what he will do after he achieves his goal.
I gave that answer to our Prince Eric."
He pointed at the leopard prince who was knocked unconscious and stripped naked with only a pair of "royal underwear" to cover his body not far away, and said to Star-Lord Black Panther who was lowering his head in the crowd:
“Your Majesty T’Challa can go ask your cousin. I won’t repeat the horrible answer here to avoid affecting your preparations for battle.
But there is not much time left for you to be sad or despair.
If anyone doesn't want to do this anymore, please remember to sign up with my little cutie. I will be responsible for sending you to another world after this world is destroyed. This is the rule of our industry.
If you still want to join the Star Club and help the evil, please remind me so that I can shoot you when it's all over."
After saying that, Mason shrugged and walked away, leaving the heroes alone to heal their wounds and discuss the situation.
Deep in the dark realm, Ciri was waiting for him.
"Found it?"
Mason looked at his female superior, and the hunter nodded and pointed to the sky and said:
"The place where that guy was hiding was hard to find, in the cracks of the real plane. He was very unfriendly, and he almost shot me in the head with a weird-looking gun.
Are you sure you want to go see him?"
"You have to go."
Mason pointed at his watch with a headache. There was a communication reminder on it but he could not get through, just like he encountered an emergency and the Internet was suddenly disconnected.
He said to Ciri:
"In order to ensure that his privateering operations would not be discovered, Brainiac blocked the information and data of this plane as soon as he came in. The contact between me and my team members was cut off, not to mention the contact with other forces.
I guess you can’t contact Mr. A now.
This guy's technological capabilities are simply incredible, so we must find a place that will not be affected by his technological capabilities!
It would be a waste of time to ask you to take me all the way across half the galaxy to escape Brainiac's 'offline zone', so visiting that big bald guy is the best option right now.
In addition, due to some personal needs, my engineering skills urgently need to find breakthrough ideas, but the existing knowledge cannot guide me in the right direction.
I heard there are a lot of amazing things in Watu..."
"He'll kill you."
Ciri complained:
"I have never seen a thief bold enough to break into the residence of the Observers. They are a very unique existence, Mason. The Hope Council has been trying to win them over, but all attempts to reach them have been rejected."
"I'll go talk to him."
Mason made up his mind, and said a few words to comfort the pouting Harley beside him, and told Zack to heal the wounds of those lonely heroes. Then he took Ciri's arm and disappeared into the dark realm in a flash of silver light.
When they reappeared, they had already left the real plane.
Just like the dark area maintained by Hei Qiyi, the space in front of us is also another mysterious place that has no connection with reality, as if it is separated by a layer of strange glass.
When Mason looked back, he could see the phantom of the moon being refracted by the light wall into a very special image. When he looked back again, a silent big bald head appeared in front of him.
This guy has a big head and a small body. There is no grass on his round head, not even eyebrows. He wears a white robe decorated with a blue ribbon, which gives him a sense of religious sacredness and technological simplicity.
But at this moment, this expressionless guy was holding a delicate silver lighter in his blue-gloved hand. The ignition port of the thing was aimed at Mason and Ciri, and his finger was on the trigger of the "lighter".
This scene made Mason feel scared and he quickly raised his hands to show that he meant no harm.
This is the "Ultimate Eraser"!
A rule-level weapon that can crush Uncle Tun and the entire dimension with one shot. Everyone knows that your collection has always been terrifying, but now is the time, please don’t carry such a dangerous thing around, okay?
If you, an old comrade who is hundreds of millions of years old, make a slight mistake, the entire Milky Way will disappear in an instant.
"I suppose you took this out as a precaution against Brainiac?"
Mason raised his hands and whispered:
"You also feel threatened, right? You are much better than that double-faced guy Black Qiyi. That bastard is clearly waiting for me to make a request so that he can take advantage of me, but he still pretends to be willing to take the bait."
The bald observer Watu continued to stare at Mason expressionlessly, with no intention of responding.
This is the rule of their clan.
Do not intervene in any situation, do not interfere with any cause and effect, do not say any unnecessary words, just observe, unless the situation is serious enough to threaten their existence and safety.
“Once Perfect Ultron gathers six Infinity Stones from the same universe, he will ascend to the level of the strongest life in the universe. This is a major event that is enough to shake the parallel world. Now Brainiac wants to upload his consciousness into Ultron.
The combination of the strongest body and the strongest consciousness will create a 'super life form' in this plane..."
Mason stared at the big bald head in front of him and said:
"The newly born Brainiac may not be immediately powerful enough to rival the gods of the universe, but he will undoubtedly have the qualifications to survive the change of eras.
You will witness with your own eyes the birth of the 'God of Wisdom' of the next era.
As an observer, you should be cheering and excited about this change, but look at you, holding your most valuable weapon in your hand ready to launch at any time, looking like a frightened bird...
You are obviously also afraid of this situation.
I'm here to stop him, Watu, can you please help me? I just need to borrow your observer computer to have a conversation with a friend of mine who I've never met before."
The bald man remained silent.
But after a few seconds, he put down the Ultimate Eraser in his hand, pretended not to see Mason and Ciri, turned around and staggered out in another direction like an old man taking a stroll.
“You are truly amazing!”
This scene left Ciri stunned.
She patted Mason on the shoulder and exclaimed in a low voice:
"How did you convince him? How did you guess that the Observers didn't want Brainiac to complete the 'Life Ascension' ritual? Don't they stay out of everything?"
"I hope the Council is strong enough in the current situation. Once Brainiac is promoted, the Council, which is already plagued by internal strife, may be unified by him."
Mason walked quickly towards the golden palace of the observer in front of him, while explaining in a low voice:
"That is what Old A has always wanted to accomplish. Just imagine for yourself, the Council of Hope, united under a cold will, will unleash such terrifying execution power.
They will complete the cleanup of other parallel worlds in a very short time, and under the auspices of Brainiac, select the final "surviving star" to end the continuation of the impact event.
However, the mission of the Observers is to record the rise and fall of the universe.
They are like the historians of the universe, but if the objects being observed are no longer around, then what is the point of the observers' existence?
Frog fears Brainiac's transformation , perhaps because he knows more about the truth of the impact? Or maybe because he thinks that the unification of the Council of Hope will lead to something more terrible than the impact?
But he never speaks, so who knows what this bald guy is thinking?
These Riddlers are really the most annoying! "
With such complaints, Mason and Ciri entered the palace hall of Watu, and he soon found a photon computer that looked more advanced than the Isu civilization.
It should be a device used by Watu himself. The authority has been decentralized, allowing Mason to easily manipulate it to communicate with other dimensions.
He did not waste any time and immediately transferred the blocked communication request on the watch to the photon computer. Mason then took his hands off the keyboard and let strange strings of characters flash across the screen in front of him.
The scene was very much like a hacker in the distance trying to break through the super firewall of this photon computer, and Mason's role was to provide the highly skilled hacker with an invasion interface.
After the three-minute data invasion was finally completed, the screen of Watu's photon computer flashed as if it was turned off, and then lit up again. The face of a middle-aged man who looked a little decadent was projected on the screen.
He was wearing a wrinkled black shirt, holding a mug in his hand, and his face looked as if he was a programmer who had been working overtime for a month, but at the same time, his sharp eyes were staring at Mason through the screen.
After a few seconds, he took the initiative to speak:
"Hello, Mason, I'm Bartmos. I heard you have something to discuss with me?"
"Well, time is of the essence, so I'll keep it short."
Mason lit a cigarette.
After taking a deep breath of smoke, he said to the "strongest hacker in the parallel world" and "God of Data" who had high technological capabilities and could hack into the Observer's host:
"I have led Brainiac into a parallel world that has not yet been discovered. He is going to complete the transfer of consciousness and the upgrading of his life here. I need you to help him do some harm in this process."
"Brainiac? The god of wisdom in the Council of Hope?"
Bartmos shook his head and refused with a look of disinterest:
“That guy’s technological capabilities are much better than mine. I have tried to hack into his Exile host several times, but he discovered it every time and upgraded the firewall.
I understand his existence at this moment.
It is not easy for him to find a suitable body with his twelfth-level intelligence. Now that he has decided to transfer his consciousness, his protective work must have been done perfectly.
It's not that I won't help you, Mason.
We have identified you as a very valuable partner. Otto's evaluation of you even makes me jealous, but I am a data lifeform and I follow the development of science and technology. I cannot hack into an AI that is more advanced than me as you think...Okay, let me be more direct.
I may be able to do what you want me to do, but my logic tells me that the effort and risk are not proportional to the rewards I can get.
My decision-making process has ruled that out.”
"I didn't tell you to hack into Brainiac's mechanical brain directly, and now I'm going to tell you the most interesting part of this matter."
Mason snapped his fingers and said:
"The perfect body Brainiac has found for himself this time is a robot! Perfect Ultron's quantum brain is full of smart little parts that you can fiddle with and play with.
You and I both know that you are the supreme king in this realm.
In the most perfect and smoothest scenario, you could turn Brainiac into a drooling idiot just by snapping your fingers in his head.
Like the ease with which you shred an old web.
How about it?
Wanna do it together?"
In response to Mason's invitation, Bartmos pushed his black-framed glasses and took a sip of "data coffee". His image suddenly changed, and a huge stream of data jumped disorderly like a waterfall, eventually forming a data resolution that Mason could not understand at all.
The next moment, Bartmos's image reappeared, and he said:
"That sounds good. The risk assessment has been reduced to medium, and the difficulty has been reduced from impossible to slightly difficult. OK, you've convinced me.
I can try, but I need a large redundant database hard drive to store a separate program I am about to separate..."
“It’s already in the works.”
Mason nodded and said:
"I asked the smartest scientist in the world to make it, but before you actually come over, I still want to talk to you about the reward.
You see, if we don’t discuss some conditions for such a big cooperation, neither you nor I will feel at ease.”
"Then I'll be welcome."
Bartmos gave a programmers' unique "shy smile", coughed, and said:
"The Outcast! Brainiac's space conqueror is ours. You may take whatever you like from it, but you must not touch the secrets Brainiac has hidden deep within the ship!
Don't ask what it is. I will let you know when it's time for you to know.
make a deal?"
Mason glanced at Ciri, and the "big boss" of the Star Club shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture of "you take care of it", so Mason turned his head to look at Bartmos, nodded and said:
"Well, deal!"
