Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 33 You even cheated the brainless skeletons? Warlock, you have done so many evil things!
Mason quickly completed the coordination of this cooperation. He removed a module containing the Batmos data signal from the photonic computer used by Watu.
With this thing as a guide and bridge, Batmos can quietly break through Brainiac's information blockade of this plane and complete the "download".
After finishing this matter, Mason felt happy.
He already had the trump card to deal with Brainiac.
Of course, Batmos alone is not enough to bring down the "God of Wisdom", but Mason has more than just this plan. As long as Brainiac leaves his "mechanical throne", he himself is nothing more than a billion-point powerful alien conqueror.
“When did you get in touch with these data lives?”
Ciri looked at Mason suspiciously, who looked relaxed. She said:
"How many things are you hiding from me? We are partners, Mason, you can't be like Old A and always hide things."
“Not much left.”
Mason turned around and said to his somewhat angry female boss:
"This kind of alliance between forces can at most help us solve some difficult problems, but it cannot change the serious situation we are facing now.
I will tell you everything once we have finished punishing Brainiac here.
I promise!"
"No one would believe your promise!"
Ciri complained:
"Only an abnormal person like Harley Quinn would trust you unconditionally..."
Having said that, Ciri suddenly shut her mouth. She glanced at Mason and seemed to have found the secret to his and Harley's sweet relationship.
For someone like Batman who has many secrets in his heart, perhaps the thing he desires most is unconditional trust.
The same thing happened to Mason.
With his status, he can be considered a "Batman in reserve", right?
"Huh?"
Mason suddenly snorted in confusion as he walked out of the palace. He frowned and looked at the table at the entrance of the palace. There was something on the edge of the table.
The silver shell has a retro design and is filled with faint blue energy. The ignition stick is already fixed and you only need to twist the trigger to pop out a string of sparks to ignite the cigarette and, by the way, blow the entire world dimension into smoke.
The Ultimate Eraser!
Why did the thing that Watu was holding in his hand for self-defense just now appear here?
"It could be a trap! Don't touch it."
Ciri reached out and stopped Mason from touching her. She said in a serious tone:
“This kind of cosmic-level rule artifact is extremely rare even in the hands of the members of the Hope Council. As far as I know, this thing will not appear more than three times .
It is a real treasure.
But I don’t think Wa Tu would be so careless as to forget it on the corner of the table…”
"Don't think too much."
Mason said quietly:
“Maybe it’s really because Watu has amnesia due to his old age. He is already hundreds of millions of years old. Maybe he wakes up more than ten times a night.
It’s completely understandable that you might be a little slow-witted.”
This is of course a joke, but it also represents Mason's thoughts.
He let go of Ciri's hand and reached out to firmly touch the silver retro lighter.
At this moment, the character cards in front of him that seemed to be always reliable showed snowflake-like interference similar to information fluctuations, but soon returned to normal, and then the information label popped up:
The Ultimate Eraser that Frog 'accidentally' lost
Quality: Engineering·Cosmic Artifact·Immortal Craftsmanship
Features: Cosmic-level reality rewriting, super-rule erasure, idealistic things, biological lock
Effect:
Pull the trigger and rewrite everything.
hint!
This item is a rule-based idealistic item.
The extent of its destructive power depends directly on the strength of the user's will, and the limit of its power release is between igniting a flame of paper and erasing ten cosmic dimensions at one time.
hint!
A biological lock was applied to this item when it was created to ensure that lower-level creatures cannot use the Ultimate Eraser to cause uncontrollable serious consequences.
Producer: Some jerk behind the fourth wall who always likes to abolish the settings at will
Item Description: You'd better return it before Watu gets angry. Of course, I can also open a door for you to take it with you as an initiation offering. After all, I just happen to be in need of a useful lighter...
hint!
The production drawings of "Ultimate Eraser Retro Lighter" have been included, and there is no skill requirement for making this item.
The last tip made Mason's eyes light up, and he immediately checked the drawing and found that this thing was really just a pattern of a retro lighter, and any craftsman with a little experience could make it.
But the ingredients required to make it are pretty horrible.
The mere description of needing a power gem as fuel and a reality gem as a trigger was enough to make Mason feel overwhelmed, not to mention the strange "rule-level" materials used to make its shell.
Come on.
Mason felt that at least at this stage he was just drooling over the blueprint.
To make this thing has gone beyond the definition of "being rich". Even if you bet your entire fortune on it, you probably wouldn't even be able to make a flint.
"Shua"
The bald-headed Watu appeared silently in front of Mason and stretched out his hand towards him expressionlessly. Mason placed the Ultimate Eraser he had "picked up" into Watu's palm with some regret.
This is called returning the property to its original owner.
"Can you tell me more about the impact?"
Mason looked at the wise bald man in front of him and said:
"You don't even need to answer. I just want to ask whether the impact is inevitable, whether it represents the change of the cosmic era, and whether we have the hope of surviving this and entering the next era with hope?"
Frog Picture remained silent as always.
This made Mason a little disappointed, so he and Ciri left the golden palace. But when they were about to step out of this plane gap, a hoarse voice sounded behind them, saying:
“It’s difficult, but not impossible.”
"Um?"
Mason and Ciri looked back at the same time.
They thought they were hallucinating, but the fact was that Watu really spoke.
The bald man who was very frugal with words put the Ultimate Eraser in his arms. His weathered eyes stared at Mason, but the focus was not on Mason. It seemed that he was observing something deeper through his body.
After a few seconds, he said:
"Destruction and salvation are both answers, but which one is the right answer will only be known at the end. I can't help you, Mason Cooper, but I will watch you.
In the next era, your story will also be passed down, whether you succeed or fail. "
"You are not affected by the impact?"
Mason raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Can you enter the next era?"
"We can."
Watu nodded and said with a sense of loss:
"This is the privilege of an observer, but I have lost this privilege since I spoke my first words to you..."
"this……"
Mason and Ciri looked at each other.
They didn't expect that letting the big bald guy speak would have such serious consequences. Of course, it was definitely not just because of one sentence.
What really cost Watu his "privilege" was the help he had just given Mason.
Observers cannot intervene in any changes of events.
All they could do was observe, while Watu took part in the action himself, which turned him from a recorder into one of the many people struggling to survive in the Dark Ages.
Watu didn't say anything else. He glanced at Mason, turned around and left like a master taking a walk. However, he was too old and suspected to have amnesia, so he was careless that he left the key to his equipment room there.
Mason stepped forward and picked up the golden key.
He glanced at Ciri and said to her:
"I'm going to stay here for a while. You go back first and pick me up in an hour. Watu is breaking his duty, which will definitely have terrible and long-lasting effects on him. We can't drag him too deep into the quagmire.
The fewer people left here, the better.”
"Um."
Ciri also knew the seriousness of the matter and how rare the opportunity before her was. Without arguing, she turned around and jumped out of this plane between the cracks of reality.
Mason turned back to the Golden Palace and opened the Observer's equipment vault a few minutes later using the key that Watu "accidentally" lost.
The Observers were collectively upgraded more than one billion years ago. The fact that they are immune to the restart of the universe and enter the next era shows how terrifying the power and technology these guys possess are.
Although the Watu Collection is only a personal collection, it is still no less than a "holy tour" for Mason.
There are not many weapons and armors hanging on the wall in front of you, only a few pieces, and their prototypes are not too "ultra-modern" but instead follow a style of simplicity.
Mason reaches forward and touches a small black revolver, whose information tag pops up:
Observer with gun [Frog picture for personal use]
Quality: Legendary Engineering Creation, Immortal Craftsmanship
Traits: Non-lethal Weapons, Causality
Effect: Aim at the target, pull the trigger, and fire a bullet with the "Law of Causality". This attack will give the [Rule·Must-Hit] effect, and any life restricted by the rules of the universe will be hit and given the [Serious Injury·Non-Fatal] status.
The weapon takes 10 minutes to reload after each shot.
Producer: Observer Frog
Item Description: Ten years ago, I fired a shot at the sea on the dock to express my anger at the world. Ten years later, when I returned to my hometown and felt the comfort of the sea breeze, the moment I turned around, the bullet flew at me, bang, and hit me right between my eyebrows.
hint!
This weapon blueprint has been included, but because it contains special engineering knowledge "Causality Formula", it cannot be produced before understanding the formula and the engineering skills reach Lv10.
“Good fellow…”
Mason withdrew his fingers with deep emotion.
He was ashamed of his pathetic imagination in the field of engineering.
In his understanding, weapons have not yet reached the level of rules, but the small star-breaking pistol made by Watu taught him a good lesson.
It's not that the engineering is not powerful enough, it's that the maker is too stupid.
And by analogy, other branch skills will definitely have similar rule-level stuff after reaching the maximum level of Lv10.
This does not prevent Mason from being a craftsman, but if he can master this skill, he will enter a completely different realm due to the accumulation of knowledge.
While he was wandering around the equipment warehouse of Watu with a "pilgrimage" mood, he did not forget his business.
In this place that was not affected by Brainiac's data blockade, Mason took out his flip phone and made a call, and a very "Hell-style" ringtone rang on the other end.
A few seconds later, the swordsman's sleepy voice rang through the phone. She yawned and said:
"Do you have any sense of public morality? Don't you see what time it is? Anyone who dares to call the Lord of Hell at this evil time will be dragged into the tongue-pulling hell by the devil and boiled in oil!
Mason Cooper!
Speak up before I send out the Devil Stalkers to rip your tongue out!"
"Ahem, I just want to tell you that I'm going to do something big in the world I'm in now."
Mason reached out and picked up a "digital rate" bomb used by Watu and put it in his hand to collect the blueprint. He tilted his head and held the phone between his legs and said to his companion on the other side:
"You can act now. Just as we planned, find an excuse to lure the warlock here. If he can really be brought here, I guarantee that he won't be able to escape even if he has ten lives!"
"Are you serious?"
The swordsman suddenly became interested.
She is a mutant, a petty-minded lord of hell, and a woman. These three buffs make her unfriendly to anyone who provokes her.
She learned the whole story from Mason, and after a little thought, she replied:
"It's very difficult to cheat in this matter. The warlock is a cunning guy. He won't be fooled when we are facing each other openly. So my idea is that we should go through the formal procedures!
Just say you discovered a new world that needs to be developed urgently. I will transfer the matter to the Warlock. When a Beyond Grade A world is registered, a Grand Master-level member must come forward.
Then you seize the opportunity to give him a sneak attack!
Perfect, the plan worked!"
"He may not fall for it, especially if this plan is carried out by you, but there's no harm in trying."
Mason complained, then thought for a moment and said to the swordsman:
"Control the time well and let him or his important lackeys come in 8 to 12 hours. That's when we can start the counterattack."
"Well, leave it to me."
The swordsman agreed confidently and then cut off the communication.
She was not sleepy at all during this "evil time". She put on her armor with great interest and jumped from her demon palace into the Star Castle.
He followed the formal process to upgrade the world Mason was in to a Beyond Grade A world that needed to be entered urgently. He also used the cleverness of the Lord of Hell to write himself a sick note, and then approved and signed it himself.
In this way, this job will not be assigned to me.
Liana sent the two documents into the Destiny Machine in the Great Library of Star Castle and returned to the border of Hell humming a song. The strange instrument was working with a clacking sound. After a few minutes, the new world entry command was edited and completed. Then, the staff sent it to the office of the Grand Master of Warlock according to the work flow.
"Um?"
When the warlock finished his meditation and evil thoughts for the day and returned to his office, he saw the order at a glance.
Then the gloomy guy frowned.
There seemed to be nothing wrong with the work tasks that were assigned according to normal procedures, but it was a bit strange that the hunter went to patrol and the swordsman suddenly took sick leave.
There is nothing wrong with hunters patrolling the world, as that is the job of the Grand Master of Exploration. But how can you, a swordsman, a lord of hell, get sick?
This is a joke!
If you want to trick me into stepping into a dangerous place, please make up a better excuse, okay? You said that your relatives coming here is much better than you suddenly falling ill and being bedridden, right?
"whispering sound……"
The Grand Master Warlock curled his lips.
There was no way he would step into the so-called "unknown world", but someone had to complete this assigned daily instruction.
Three eyes turned at the same time, and soon a sinister idea came to mind.
After thinking for a few seconds, the warlock picked up the exquisite skull on the table, injected magic into it to make its eye sockets burn, and said to the other side:
"Brother Johnny? Are you healed? I need you to help cover for me. The entry process of a new world that has been discovered won't take up too much of your time.
Don't rush to scold me, because I received a rumor that a guy who looks like Mason Cooper appeared in that world...
There's not a lot of evidence to prove it, but I think you should go check it out."
This is obviously a sorcerer's nonsense, trying to trick people into taking the blame.
He had recently been planning an infiltration and invasion of Mason's Beyond Grade A world. He was confident that the Skrulls he had "rented" from Brainiac had successfully infiltrated Team K, and he continued to track Mason without alerting the enemy.
He didn't actually know where exactly Mason was right now.
But he knew that Johnny Blaze had a deep grudge against Mason and was a perfect scapegoat.
However, the Ghost Riders' Grand Master Johnny Skull didn't know this, and he was very satisfied with the news. After being "crushed to ashes" by Mason last time, this Burning Skull who likes death heavy metal is trying hard to get back at him.
It's rare that a warlock would take the initiative to deliver information.
"Okay, I'll go over there sometime."
Johnny replied, and the warlock nodded in satisfaction.
He glanced at the time on the instruction and said:
"The door to that world will open in 8 hours, don't miss it. I guess there will be some 'surprises' waiting for you there, so be sure to prepare in advance."
