Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 38 When an unreliable guy tells you confidently that everything is going well, you'd better be prepared
Batmos disabled the mechanical legions aboard the Exile, greatly reducing the number of enemies Mason had to deal with.
In the main control room at the rear, the Mad Hulk has already entangled Brainiac. Mason's goal now is to release those powerful heroes who have been "sent into" the spacecraft in advance before the two of them decide the winner.
Brainiac is powerful!
Even without the assistance of the Exile, he is definitely not an opponent that Hulk can deal with alone. Level 12 intelligent creatures have too many ways to weaken or control the angry Hulk, not to mention that guy is wearing an absurdly powerful main power armor of the universe.
But if faced with the sudden attack of Thor, Captain Marvel, Black Bolt and the good Thanos at the same time, even the powerful Brainiac will be unable to cope with all of them.
At that time, Bartmos will personally curb Brainiac's powerful computing power at the data level, which will create an excellent opportunity for the heroes of this world to defeat the enemy.
"Take the third cabin to the left. Go forward and you will find the imprisoned heroes. I looked through the logs of the Exile spaceship. These heroes had their minds disturbed after being captured. Brainiac intends to make them into his own mechanical legion commanders, so you may have to 'wake up' them first."
Bartmos reminded:
"I have interrupted the mind-disrupting process. I will just use the simplest physical consciousness calibration."
"Shua"
Under his guidance, Mason quickly jumped into the front cabin, only to see his little cutie stepping on a poor guy and beating him with a baseball bat.
That is Venom Scorpion, the weakest member of the Sinister Six who were separated by the terrain. Rather than being an evil villain, he seemed more like someone who was dragged in by the Green Goblin to make up the numbers and help out.
But unfortunately, he also chose to betray Osborn and join Brainiac.
The symbiote Venom suit on this guy wanted to sneak attack Harley, but every time it jumped out with its fangs and claws, it would be caught and beaten up by the more powerful Wasteland Venom on Harley's body.
Although both come from the same source, ordinary venom that still needs a host to exert its combat effectiveness is obviously not comparable to its powerful compatriots that have been promoted to another level.
"What level of villain are you? How dare you use the same symbiote as me! And you want to sneak attack me? Who gave you the courage?"
Harley had beaten the venom scorpion to the point of near death, but he still refused to give in.
Judging from her position, she must have wanted to follow Mason's order to rescue the hero. It can be said that Venom Scorpion was unlucky and just chose her "natural enemy".
"Harley, come with me."
Mason shouted, and the little cutie immediately pulled out his pistol with a smile on his face, and fired three shots at the villain who was knocked down on the ground, then took out a biological containment tank and put the venom that had lost its speed into it.
Such symbiotes are currently no longer needed by the main members of Team K, but they are still very useful for arming the servant army.
"Where's Zha Kang?"
Mason asked as he led Harley towards the detention area. Harley pointed upwards while chewing gum. In the previous raid, Constantine had faced off against the god of war Ares, and they were currently fighting on the upper level.
The most dangerous drug addict, Sentry, was thrown out of the spaceship and was about to rush back to kill Mason, but he was awkwardly backstabbed.
Doom, who was supposed to be on guard against Black Strange, stood in front of . The battle between the two took place in the sky. The collision of magic, technology and superpowers made the altitude of about 3,000 meters almost a real "forbidden zone".
Anyone who dares to get close will die.
"The rest of the Sinister Six have made some moves, but Osborn the Green Goblin is the only one missing. I guess he's in hiding, or maybe he was killed when these traitors rebelled.
This kind of thing is very common among villain groups. Who among the big villains in Gotham hasn't encountered this kind of backstab?"
Harley reported to Mason holding the Isu artifact baseball bat:
"But the Norman in this world is just lame. He's not as skilled as our old Green Goblin at all."
"He does lack the strategy that has accumulated over time, but given Norman Osborn's character, it is impossible for him not to have a backup plan."
Mason shook his head and said:
"Maybe that guy is waiting for the situation to become clear so he can jump out and surprise us... Eh? Why are you here?"
The door of the detention area in front of him slid open quickly under the control of Bartomos. Mason, who was ready for battle, stepped in and saw the released prisoner hero and the hunter Ciri who was sitting in the detention cabin sharpening her sword.
Judging from the traces here, she had just fought with the heroes who were released but unconscious.
And looking at Thor, who was rubbing his head and getting up with an awkward panda eye, he knew that Ciri had just completed a "quadruple kill".
Facing Mason's surprise, the hunter snorted and said boredly:
"Do you think I'm a green team member who needs your command to know how to act? Young man, when I was on the pioneering mission, you were still lying in your mother's arms and breastfeeding.
Although I have gotten used to sitting in the office over the years, I still occasionally go out to move around, and I know exactly what to do and when.
Tell me, what is the next stage of your goal?"
"To destroy Brainiac, of course!"
Mason pointed in the direction of the main control room and shouted to the four heroic prisoners who had regained consciousness:
"I have released the dangerous Hulk and the zombie Scarlet Witch to entangle him. You need to go to support him, but be careful not to be eaten by the Lost Hulk."
"That damn alien actually wanted to transform me into his hunting dog. This is unbearable!"
The Thor of this world roared and opened his five fingers to summon his own hammer. The hammer of Thor, which was stored in Brainiac's armory, rushed over with a clang.
After returning to its owner, it gave Mason precise directions to the treasure house of the God of Wisdom.
He took out the weapons he had prepared and armed the four men. He watched them rushing towards the main control room aggressively, then winked at Harley and said to Ciri:
"This ship will be handed over to Data Life as agreed, but before that we have to ensure that Brainiac's dangerous collection does not fall into the hands of dangerous people..."
"If you want to plunder, then plunder. Why are you making so many high-sounding excuses?"
Ciri curled her lips in disdain and stood up and said:
"We are all foxes of the Star Club, what are you singing about? Let's go, a Hope Director's treasure trove must be very interesting. The stuff is divided 60% and I'll take 60%!"
"Whatever you want."
Mason had no objection to this, and then Ciri grabbed both of their wrists and jumped over.
However, what they saw when they landed made the three of them a little disappointed, because Brainiac's treasure house was very "simple", and not at all as magnificent as they had imagined.
It was just a very small cabin with only a few things placed inside.
But small quantity does not mean poverty. In fact, Mason narrowed his eyes when he saw these things.
The most eye-catching thing is a black sphere placed in a precision instrument. Even though the Exile spacecraft has been hacked by Batmos and is out of control, this storage instrument is still operating at full power.
Obviously, it has been equipped with an independent energy source.
"Help me take a look at the material of this thing, I feel like it has some tricks"
Ciri, who was interested in weapons, took a silver-covered sword from the wall and handed it to Mason. Mason took it in his hand and examined it carefully. An information label popped up:
Origin X Metal Weapons
Quality: Forged Artifact, Immortal Craftsmanship
Belongs to: World Forger Set [Damaged and Missing]
Traits: Magic Immunity, Magic Break, Energy Absorption, Holy Purification, Reality Warping, Infinite Possibilities
Maker: World Forger
Item Description: The power of this thing after it is completed is far beyond your imagination, but after Brainiac was paralyzed, in order to continue to control his power, he melted down the parts except the weapon and gauntlets and reshaped them into his own power armor. Therefore, in theory, this set of artifacts has been destroyed. What a waste of good things, right?
"boom"
Just as Mason was about to tell Ciri about the power of this thing, he heard a loud noise, as if something heavy had fallen, which made him feel the crisis was coming.
“Put it on!”
He took off the silver gauntlet and threw it to Ciri. The hunter quickly put it on and held the X-metal sword tightly, while Harley grabbed an X-spike metal hammer and twisted the handle without any instruction, causing golden light to dance on the spikes of the Morningstar hammer.
"Bang"
After Mason packed all the contents of the treasure room into his bag, the door was blown open by energy.
Amid the smoke, the dejected sentinel walked in, dragging Doom, who had been beaten to the point of being unsure whether he was dead or alive. His eyes, beneath his messy golden hair, were already shining with a chaotic and brutal light.
Apparently, this mentally unstable drug addict couldn't defeat Doom, who fought with his brain , so he chose to use more dangerous power.
"He promised me..."
The sentry, who was about to lose control, whimpered incoherently:
"Damn the Nothingness! He promised me that he would help me eliminate the Nothingness! You all must die! Only a future in which Brainiac wins can make me healthy again."
"You need to get off drugs first, man."
Mason jumped into the Fenrir armor, and the moment the cockpit closed, he said with disdain:
"You have the power of millions of stars but you have fallen into depravity. Brainiac can't help you, and no one can help you, because you don't even think about living a good life."
"Shut up!"
The enraged Sentinel roared and swung his fists to smash the Vibranium Power Armor in front of him. Mason was knocked back in the loud collision, and the onboard AI Female Ultron reported the damage.
The outer armor made entirely of vibranium was pierced through an entire layer by the drug-addicted madman in front of him!
This is fucking vibranium! A super metal with atoms in a stable arrangement. Theoretically, it wouldn't be destroyed like this even if you throw it into a black hole!
So, simply by doing the math, in terms of pure power alone, this guy has surpassed a normal black hole...
He is indeed the most powerful guy Mason has ever seen, and even has the pressure that Brainiac brings.
But Mason didn't find him difficult to deal with.
Compared to the determined Clark Kent, the Sentinel is a typical example of a useless person. Have you ever seen Superman who is addicted to drugs and in a daze all day long?
If you haven't seen it, this is it.
To be honest, even comparing A-Zu with him would be humiliating A-Zu.
"Buzz"
The Sentinel's eyes shot out golden rays that blasted towards Mason, but Harley jumped over and smashed them apart with a hammer holding the X-metal hammer!
The energy beam, which was supposed to have no substance, lost all its power in front of the X-metal with infinite possibilities. Ciri dodged and swung her sword, easily leaving a bloody mark on the back of the sentinel.
man of Steel?
No, it's meaningless in front of a true demon-destroying blade.
“This thing is amazing!”
Harley waved the weapon in her hand and exclaimed, causing Mason in the cockpit to roll his eyes. Nonsense, little cutie, what you are holding in your hand right now is the artifact of origin smelted from the furnace of the universe.
Although I don't know which dimension Brainiac found it in, it would be a bit too cheap if a thing of this level can't even deal with a beam of ray.
"Beat this poisonous insect!"
Mason yelled and moved forward in his power armor, followed closely by Harley. The three of them beat up the Sentinel with the power of the X-metal artifact, and the Sentinel lost all his temper and had to protect his head and retreat repeatedly.
But after all, a man with the power of a million stars is not so easy to be defeated, and as the Sentinel suffered severe setbacks in the battle, his spirit became increasingly unstable.
His shadow was distorting and lengthening.
Rolling darkness also began to cover his golden battle suit.
"Mason! I just threw Ares into hell, but that lunatic will probably crawl back out soon. Also, the time agreed with the swordsman has come. Will the gate to the world be opened or not?"
Zha Kang's voice sounded in the team communication. Mason activated the BFG module and fired a devastating energy cannon at the sentinel, and then responded to Zha Kang:
"Open! Let's see who is the unlucky guy that the swordsman tricked here?"
"Hold on."
Constantine responded, and a few seconds later, his screams exploded in the communication, screaming:
"It wasn't a warlock! The swordsman got the wrong guy. It was a bastard skeleton who almost burned me to death and shouted that he wanted to cause trouble for you, Mason!
In order to prevent it from burning me, I told it your location!
Now that bastard is riding a weird burning car towards you! Be careful, I'm going to run away first."
"!!!"
Mason was also shocked.
He did consider that it would be difficult for the swordsman to trick the sinister warlock into killing him with his carefree personality, but he did not expect that the sister of the Lord of Hell would actually bring the Ghost Rider over.
I don't know who is coming. If it's the guy I tricked last time...
"Mason Cooper! I'm here to cause trouble for you, why don't you return my precious motorcycle to me! And then kowtow to me ninety-nine times!"
Mason's face changed drastically at the hoarse shouting.
Damn it!
Is it really the haunted Johnny Skeleton that has come?
"Ciri, change of plan! Retreat."
He shouted, and the Hunter who was stabbing the Sentinel immediately responded, jumped back to Harley, grabbed her, and put his hand on Mason's power armor. In a flash of silver light, he jumped away from the Exile spaceship with the two of them.
The next moment, a space motorcycle like a burning meteor fell from the sky, burning through the Exile's outer armor with blazing flames, and crashed into the place where Mason had just fought.
Holding a huge hammer with burning chains, Lord Johnny Skull, Grand Master of the Ghost Riders, wearing a cool motorcycle leather jacket, rode on his motorcycle and looked around but found no trace of Mason.
But it caught the scent left by Mason and grinned with an extremely sinister smile.
"Hey, man."
Johnny Skull, who was very social, lay on the handlebars of his motorcycle, looking at the confused sentinel who was being beaten and doubting his life and was now autistic. He whistled at a temperature of several thousand degrees and said:
"You look miserable. You were bullied by that bad guy Mason, right? Don't worry, your brother Johnny will help you vent your anger. Come on, tell me, where did that bastard go?"
In response to his "friendly" question for directions, the sentry, half of whose body was covered by a strange dark power, looked up.
There was a fierce and crazy light in his eyes under his messy hair, and a weird smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which was still stained with blood.
The poisonous insect sentinel could not bear the pressure.
This is the "nothingness" of the dark side of the mind!
"Bang"
Lord Johnny Skull didn't get an answer, but the Void Sentinel did respond.
He just raised his fist and hit hard, blowing away and smashing Lord Johnny's skeleton body and cool motorcycle, while also destroying Brainiac's treasure room and nearly one-tenth of the spaceship.
The bad news is that the Sentinel's power, known as "a million stars", can no longer be suppressed.
The worse news is that the Void has taken over the battle!
This malicious personality, born from the dark heart of a drug addict, was laughing wildly in the falling spaceship. Its shadow was infinitely stretched to the mid-air and gathered into a crazy and laughing black shadow, blocking the sunlight and projecting its own malice into the hearts of all things in front of it.
It didn't care about Brainiac's promise or stupid things like the survival of the world, as long as it could survive in the sun.
It only wants to do one thing now...
All I want now is to see a river of blood!!!
But before seeing a river of blood, the Void Sentinel still had to solve a small problem at hand.
Johnny Skull, whose body emerged from the flames, stared at his shattered space motorcycle in amazement. The anger of having his beloved thing destroyed swept through his already unstable mind.
"You can hit me, you can scold me, you can dismantle me, you can even humiliate me! But you shouldn't dismantle my car!"
It turned around, rolled up its sleeves, and shouted at the Void Sentinel:
"Mason, get out of the way first. If I don't teach you a lesson today, what's the point of me being the head of the group? You bastard! Look me in the eyes!"
Oh my god, Mason is not a good tank. The hatred of the world boss that suddenly appeared was transferred.
