Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 45 The man finally decided to call his secret weapon "Miaomiao House"
Odin's speech was truly eye-opening. Although there might have been some performance elements based on the arrogant self-esteem of the King of Gods, as he said, he did not adopt Loki in this world, so naturally Thor was the only heir to the throne.
Now that his silly son has made it clear that he wants to stand with Mason, the foreigner, it is understandable that the King of Gods chooses to fight to the end in order to avoid causing an incident that threatens the foundation of the Nine Realms.
And to be honest, this old man who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years has very clear thinking.
He had felt the dark tremors of the universe without having experienced the impact, which showed that the impact event caused by the change of eras in the old universe was only an appearance.
The final destruction is bound to come, so even if the earth is sacrificed it will only bring a day of peace. If no solution is found before the end of the era, it will still turn into ashes. Rather than waiting for death slowly, it is better to fight.
At least Mason had a plan.
This is much more certain than Asgard starting to figure out how to survive the apocalypse from now on.
The King of Gods did not discuss more with Mason. After all, the impact event still happened on Earth, and the help Asgard could provide was very limited. The most it could do was to help Mason and others resist the "big shots" who did not want to take a gamble and were pouring in from the depths of the universe when the next impact occurred.
Mason still felt excited even with Odin's assurance.
The plan he came up with for the next attack was destined to cover only a few parallel worlds that were connected to his own. It was an experiment that risked everything.
The winner doesn't necessarily take all, but the loser loses everything.
In this case, it's still good to have one less thing to worry about.
Moreover, the truth learned from Odin about Lord Fate, also known as Mephisto, is more valuable. According to Odin, the godly devil may be in the preparation stage before some kind of "transcendence", just like Brainiac is looking for a perfect body for himself to embark on a great journey.
If Mason was able to successfully ambush Brainiac in this world, it means that he could also replicate his tactics against Mephisto.
At present, the latter is obviously much more difficult than the former.
"How on earth did you convince my father to open up his God King's treasury to you?"
Thor had now brought Harley back to the Golden Palace, and the two of them strolled around the main city of Asgard, allowing Harley to experience the prosperity of the people of God's Realm, and bought a lot of strange "local specialties" for their teammates.
Of course, all this was paid for by the rich, stupid, and... uh, hospitable Mr. Torto.
This is already our own territory. With Mr. Tou's personality, how can he still ask the guests to pay?
No way!
The three of them chatted and then, under the guidance of the Golden Palace guards, approached the treasure room located under the palace.
In response to Thor's question, Mason shrugged and said:
"I was just asking politely, but your father was not bragging when he said he could see everything in the world. He said it could be of substantial help to my career, so he generously allowed me to taste his collection.
I am deeply grateful for that.”
"Sweetheart, you are collecting blueprints of legendary artifacts."
Harley, who was wearing a small Asgard-style crown on her forehead, exposed Mason's plan. She brought her two dogs, who were dressed in colorful clothes and wearing 99K pure Urugin collars from the Asgard God Domain Bulldog, and walked forward like dancing and said to Thor:
“Mr. K wants to make his own supreme arsenal, but his current knowledge reserves are insufficient. That crappy thing requires ninety-nine drawings of legendary artifacts to make.
For a little sweetheart who would feel uncomfortable if she didn’t do something for a day, this is unbearable.”
"Well, that's the truth."
Mason nodded seriously, but Thor had no interest in it. As for the Supreme Arsenal, he had seen the real thing from Star-Lord and Black Panther when he beat Brainiac.
For a thunderous man like him, those artifacts simulated by distorted reality are fake no matter how real they are. He prefers real things, such as the God King Wine Cellar belonging to his father that he just passed by.
Mason looked around and quietly handed Thor an engineering lock pick.
It's a fool-proof operation. You just need to insert it into the keyhole to unlock it automatically. It certainly can't open Brainiac's treasure house, but it can easily be used to lock a wine cellar.
Thor's eyes lit up, he secretly gave Mason a thumbs-up, coughed a few times, turned around and left whistling.
"This Thor is so stupid."
After watching the drunken Mr. To leave, Harry leaned over to Mason and whispered:
"He's just like a dandy boy, but he's very popular. People in the whole city like him very much. Some even call him the future king."
"Of course, in this world, he doesn't have to experience a falling out with his brothers, nor does he have to worry about Loki setting him up. The biggest trouble he encountered in his life was being deceived by the Skrulls and falling out with his friends, but now the relationship has been repaired.
He has lived a very carefree and smooth life."
Mason shook his head and concluded:
"My hometown Thor must be in tears. Let him drink and enjoy his last moments of peace. After Odin told him about the Fourth Impact, he no longer has the leisure to do so."
"Click"
The door to Odin's treasury in front was pushed open by two burly giant guards.
If Mason was not mistaken, it should be a Frost Giant. In the Golden Palace of this world, there are actually Frost Giants from Jotunheim serving as guards for Odin.
It seems that Thor is not the only one living happily in this world. His father Odin is also doing well. No wonder he is so upright.
"Wow, so many treasures!"
Harry's eyes suddenly widened into the shape of jewels. The treasure house before her was indeed glittering with precious stones. Various artifacts from Norse mythology were placed here, and the black marble was covered with legendary objects.
However, Mason, who has unlocked the blueprints of the Isu artifacts, does not have much demand for these weapons and armor. Apart from whether or not they contain divine power, there is not much difference between the weapons of the two races in nature and destructive power.
However, in Mason's eyes, the divinity that is above all things is obviously a "negative state". He dare not attach divinity to his own items, lest they be destroyed overnight by the greedy fragments of the Black Death Sword.
As Harry said, all he needed were the drawings and formulas themselves.
“Ah~”
With a sharp hiss and accompanied by flames, the Phoenix Fox, who had been wandering off to who knows where, suddenly appeared on Mason's shoulder.
After not seeing it for a few days, the wild phoenix had grown a lot bigger and looked more gorgeous than before.
Its eyes were fixed on the golden brazier set up in front of Odin's treasury. The flame that was burning without any fuel was like the most delicious food, attracting Fox's attention.
"The eternal fire."
Mason noticed the abnormality of the Phoenix. He put down the Twilight Crown that belonged to the Flame King Surtur, and calmed the restless Fox, saying:
"That's someone else's treasure. You can't eat it, or there will be a diplomatic dispute. Although the God King looks very gentle, I can't afford to offend him."
“Chirp, chirp!”
Fox neighed a few times in dissatisfaction, expressing his dissatisfaction with his useless owner. It was so uncomfortable that he couldn't eat the delicious flames even though they were right in front of him.
But things soon turned around.
Thor, drunk, staggered into the treasury with a bottle of wine in a crystal bottle, and said to Mason while burping:
"Am I dazzled? Why is there a phoenix on your shoulder? This thing is extinct in the Nine Realms, especially after the Phoenix Force descended on Earth a thousand years ago and was shattered by the Dragon Fist, no more phoenixes were born in the territory of the World Tree.
This is a rare thing.”
"This is my pet..."
Mason was about to introduce Fox but he suddenly felt Phoenix's cold eyes staring at him, so he quickly changed the topic and said:
"This is my partner, Fawkes, the last phoenix from the magic world. Although he is a noble creature, he is plotting against the eternal fire in your home. Can you think of a way to get him some snacks to prevent my hair from being burned tonight?
This little thing is very cunning."
"Eternal Fire? That's my father 's treasure. My sister Hela's death army relies on it. But there is also a kind of eternal fire in the underworld of Helheim, which she usually doesn't use.
It’s okay to give a little, anyway, this thing basically shows its preciousness and beauty in peacetime.”
Thor rubbed his drunken eyes and made a request with a roll of his eyes.
explain:
“I sneaked out to Earth to fight and nearly died there, which angered my mother and fiancée. It’s not easy to appease their anger. What I mean is, if I can give precious phoenix feathers as gifts to the ladies who love beauty and make them the absolute protagonists of the next Golden Palace banquet, this matter will be easy to discuss.
My dad listens to my mom the most..."
Wow, this young man in this world is also an expert in female psychology research and a master in picking up girls. Even after drinking so much, he still doesn't forget to ask for some benefits from the two most important women in his life.
As Harley watched with a suppressed smile, this difficult problem was put in front of the cunning and greedy Fox.
Either the wild phoenix would take two of its flaming tail feathers, which it treasured and never allowed Mason to touch, as "meal money", or he would have to watch such a rare good thing right in front of him but return empty-handed.
It was obvious that Fox didn't want to choose either of them, and he even chirped around the drunk Thor and acted pitiful, but Master Thor didn't buy it.
This Fox is a male phoenix, not a female...
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no Fox to mess around, Mason quickly touched all the weapons, armor and legendary items in Odin's treasury. With the help of Thor, he even took out the Destroyer armor hidden in the treasury and admired it.
By combining the various drawings in his mind, he finally pieced together the recipes for ninety-nine legendary items. In this way, the downgraded version of the machinery for the Supreme Arsenal could finally be produced.
The three water clones of "Mason Engineering Department" who had been waiting in the suitcase factory immediately drank some owl potion to refresh themselves, and then started working hard .
Then at this moment, Mason's face suddenly changed.
"What's wrong? Sweetheart, is something wrong?"
Harry noticed the change in Mason's expression and asked hurriedly. Mason shook his head and said:
"Nothing happened. I just suddenly lost contact with the three water clones..."
"Were they ambushed?"
Harry's eyes widened as he exclaimed:
"Weren't they hiding in the suitcase factory? How could anyone have ambushed them there?"
"No……"
Mason rubbed his brows and said with some difficulty:
"It was a sudden death. He died of overwork because he had been working non-stop since his birth... Well, it seems that having a water clone that is too realistic is not a good thing.
Well, maybe I should re-plan my daily routine, and two hours of sleep a day is not an unacceptable compromise."
"Three hours!"
Harry held up three fingers and said very seriously:
"You have to get two hours of sleep, and you have to leave an hour to satisfy your lovely girlfriend's various requests, such as going out shopping or something."
"Okay, okay."
Mason agreed without hesitation. He was really scared by what happened just now.
At the moment when the water clone was exhausted to death, he, as the main body, truly felt the illusion of death coming. It happened three times in a row, which was really hard to accept.
"Then let's start from today?"
When Harley saw Mason agreed, she smiled. She took Mason's arm and dragged him out of the treasure house, saying as she walked:
"I just saw an Asgardian-style hotel outside the Golden Palace. I have one hour to myself. Let's go. I also bought an Asgardian rope and skirt."
"I understand the skirt, but the rope..."
Mason coughed and decided not to touch on this taboo topic. He looked back at Fox who was still struggling and shouted to him:
"We will leave the divine realm in three hours, Fox, you'd better make a decision quickly. Your tail has been wrapped in flames, and no one can see that two tail feathers are missing. Besides, they will grow back.
But if you miss this chance to obtain the Eternal Flame, you'll be gone. Don't yell at me, I'm just giving you a suggestion... Besides, I'm really happy to see you in trouble."
“Chirp, chirp!”
The sharp cry of a wild phoenix was heard from the treasure house.
Mason couldn't understand bird language, but it was definitely very dirty. Oh, the upbringing of this greedy phoenix was really problematic.
…
Three hours later, Mason and Harley returned to Earth. Fox, with a sour face, stood on Mason's shoulder, savoring the deliciousness of the Eternal Fire, and burped from time to time due to the temperature of thousands of degrees.
The flame on its tail burned more fiercely than ever, just like a guilty thief who was trying to hide some flaws.
Mason was a little tired.
It wasn't just because he had drawn the production diagram of the Supreme Arsenal before leaving, but also because Harley, who was yawning next to him, was a little annoying girl who didn't keep her word.
It was clearly stated that she only had one hour, but in the end she occupied two and a half hours out of the three hours of Mason's rest. Of course, it was not anything obscene, but she dragged Mason for a walk in the city of Asgard.
Her sick mind thought this was romantic.
But Mason felt that if he continued to spend his three hours of rest every day like this, he might be one step closer to sudden death.
"We'll leave once Patmos sends someone to take the ship away."
Mason said to Harley, who had her hands full of bags:
"Go find Zha Kang and ask him to count the things he can take away. Also, tell him to behave himself for the next few days because he will be meeting Xiao Zha when he returns. I had to persuade him with all my might."
Harley yawned and was about to find a place to rest, but the sweetheart's request had to be met, so she tiptoed and kissed Mason on the cheek, then ran out with her dog.
Mason found an open space on the outer armor of the Exile spacecraft, opened the briefcase, and jumped into the factory.
The three water clones that had died suddenly before have been replenished. Now, including twelve clones and one main body, thirteen Masons have gathered in the engineering laboratory.
They were discussing the structural diagram that Mason had just drawn. In front of them were various raw materials and tools. There was also a crooked banner hanging on the top of the workshop, with a line of large characters on it:
"The first production route discussion meeting of 'Mason House'"
"Who came up with this unfortunate name?"
The main Mason was so angry that he shouted to his clones:
"That thing is called the Supreme Arsenal! What a cool name, can we not just change it randomly? You lawless fellows!"
As soon as these words were shouted out, the other twelve clones immediately quieted down. They were dressed differently and looked at the main body surrounded in the middle with strange eyes.
Mason felt something was wrong, so he pushed his glasses and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"We are doing hard labor for you here, we don't get paid a dime and three of us just died of exhaustion!"
Mason No. 1, wearing a bat costume, picked up the crowbar at hand and shouted:
"You bastard, it's fine if you didn't offer any comfort, but you went to sleep with Harley? And you played the rope game, right? And you dared to yell at us? I give you face!"
"Beat him!"
Mason shouted, not knowing which number.
The next moment, as the main Mason screamed in fear, a large group of clones rushed forward, and the bastard Mason activated the Fenrir armor and drove in to add fuel to the fire.
For a moment, the entire suitcase factory was in chaos, alchemical bombs and kinetic bullets were flying everywhere, and the high-energy particle beam shot out by the power armor passed through the studio and quickly ignited a fire, which was put out by the beaten subject Mason with water.
For a while, screams and sounds of fighting were heard everywhere.
This wave.
This time, the Mason Legion launched a rebellion without fear of the main body's power, and the main body Mason suffered this time.
Well, it seems that making the water clone too realistic is not a good thing. Observers who have the superpower of clones must take this as a warning.
