Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 58 I'm from the Marvel Universe, but I'm much darker than most people in DC
"It's hard to imagine what kind of thinking and mental state you were in to allow your boyfriend to carry out such a complicated task."
After watching the excited Zha Kang disappear in the teleportation, Harley, chewing gum, whispered to Zha beside her:
"If I didn't know that you were a serious and conservative woman, I would have thought that you enjoyed this unique... well, anyway, the way you and Zha Kang get along is so weird.
You must have feelings.
But both he and you act as if you are casual about this relationship."
"This is the mode of interaction between spellcasters."
Xiao Za sighed, put on his tall magic hat, and said to Harley:
"Don't bother thinking about how John and I get along. It will only torture your already broken mind. Besides, he's just an over-the-top and nasty ex-boyfriend. He doesn't need to ask for my opinion on what he decides to do.
Dr. Holland made a great sacrifice for the survival of the world, and if John's actions can comfort him, then I have nothing to say."
After saying that, Xiao Zha turned around and looked at the magical swamp behind him.
Its area is shrinking rapidly, but what is left after the mud and water recede is not the original desert but lush grassland and low shrubs. This is the green power of all things being withdrawn.
It means a crisis has been averted.
Groot is still being questioned by the Forest Council deep in the swamp. Everyone else has already withdrawn. The only one who is dissatisfied is the slime monster Kevin.
It loved this muddy swamp so much that it even planned to make it its home.
So Mason prepared a magic jar for it to hold some mud imbued with magical power for it to use. But for some unknown reason, Mason made the magic jar into the shape of a big gourd, wrote the word "mud" in Chinese on it, and asked Kevin to carry it on his back.
It looked like some mysterious spellcasting prop, but Kevin didn't care.
It thinks this thing is very cool, and is now practicing using its mud gourd to collect mud and water from the magic swamp and then releasing it to shape them into the members of the Justice League. It then turns itself into Batman and "inspects the army", just like a naughty kid who has gotten a new toy.
Mason didn't have time to take care of his drama slime monster at the moment. He was instructing the young K team who were preparing to return to the base about the next action.
“Franklin’s mutant ability is very powerful, but he obviously cannot control it well now and it is only in the early stages of awakening. His ability will expand rapidly in the coming period.
But this near-omnipotent power to distort reality is too dangerous.
Not to mention that Franklin's bad character had not yet been changed, his current control ability was far from enough to control this energy.
So I want you to escort him to Emma, who will put a mental barrier on him to prevent his dangerous abilities from being abused."
“But I think I can control it!”
Franklin was not happy about this. The now tired little man crossed his arms and said:
"I finally got to show off my skills this time. You can't suppress me like this, Mason. I also want to use this opportunity to compete with the annoying Damian for the captaincy."
"Then let me make an assumption."
Mason did not forcibly rebuke this wasteland boy who had no idea of the danger of his own power. He pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and said gently:
"If you were with your weak sister Valeria and suddenly your abilities went out of control, do you think she, with her ordinary physique, could survive the crisis you caused?
It's no exaggeration to say that with your current ability to distort reality, you only need a glance or a second of lost control of your thoughts to crush your sister into a ball of bloody flesh.
Maybe you can revive her, but I don't think a good brother would let his sister go through such a nightmare, right?
You're a mutant, Franklin, and so am I.
I awakened my power earlier than you, but now I am just getting familiar with and trying to master the power of water. Your power is a thousand times more dangerous than mine, but you have inexplicable confidence that you can control it.
"Excuse me, where did Master Richards get his arrogant confidence? Can you give me a pound?"
Hearing Mason mention Franklin's beloved sister, this wasteland boy, who was disappointing in every aspect except caring about his sister, immediately shrugged his head and stopped arguing, accepting the reality that his powerful ability was going to be sealed.
"Emma will make you a mind barrier similar to Blue Beetle's 'baby protection mode'."
Mason explained:
"You need to rely on yourself to discover and improve your own strength in order to gradually unlock it. If you can break this mental constraint by yourself, it proves that you can use powerful power reasonably, and I will naturally not ask you to be restrained anymore.
alright.
Now it’s time for you to leave.”
He looked at his watch and said to the young team K in front of him:
"Go back to Osborne Tower, have a good rest, and summarize the gains and losses of this operation. I admit that you have completed the mission, but it is not perfect. There is still a lot of room for improvement in all aspects.
Therefore, everyone should write a 3,000-word task report after returning and hand it in to Barbara for review tonight.
Jimmy, start taking the anti-aging agent when you go back. After a course of treatment, when your body is stable, I will start the adamantium infusion experiment. For other people's equipment upgrades, please make a list and submit it to Dr. Otto.
He will help you get the job done.”
Damian made an OK gesture.
Although he was tired at the moment, his spirits were very high. This was the first time that Mason recognized his command ability, and Damian was also happy about the formation of the Junior K Team.
Before leaving, he had not forgotten the new team members he had selected, and said to Little Joe, who was wrapped in a blanket and receiving a physical examination from Harley:
"Hey, farm boy, are you coming with us? Or are you staying here and waiting for your dad?"
"I'm not one of your members!"
Xiao Qiao was still angry about the injection given to him by that bastard Damian. Although the feeling when the Superman drug took effect was indeed good, the impending rejection reaction also made him feel uncomfortable all over.
He curled his lips and said:
"Besides, joining your 'violent gang' is such a big deal, I have to discuss it with mom and dad, and also seek Martha's opinion."
"Oh, look guys, there's a good baby over here."
Damian let out a strange cry, causing the unruly little bastards in Team K to laugh out loud, but Xiao Qiao had a good temper and didn't bother with them.
He is worried about his father now.
Although he has been sent to the Watchtower for treatment, this experience did make Joe realize that his father, Superman, is not omnipotent and he can also be injured or even face death.
"I said, you don't have to think too much."
Damian rolled his eyes, obviously not intending to give up the attacker he had finally found, so he walked over to sit next to Xiao Qiao and said to him:
"You see, your Aunt Kara is already a core member of Team K. In a sense, your father can also be considered an 'extra member' of the Mason team.
Your whole family are all from our side, and if you join us now it is called 'following in your father's footsteps'.
We are not some evil organization. You saw it with your own eyes. We saved the entire Kandak tonight, right? This is a heroic act that must be praised.
Whatever adults can do, we can also do it if we try hard, and we can do it better than them.
You see, the thriving K team needs people like you. You can find your place here and realize your own life value.
I know you are a good kid and you are still hesitating, which is normal."
Damian took out a special communicator for the K team from his bag and put it in Xiao Qiao's hand. He patted his shoulder and said in a very social way:
"When you've made up your mind, remember to call me. I'm going back to the base now to help you make equipment, a battle suit and cape like your father's. If you need anything unique, just send me a message.
But I gave you the communicator because I trust you, so please don’t make harassing calls or send me spam messages. I’m very busy, and if you do that I will block you.
No kidding! "
After saying that, Damian swaggered with his team members back to Osborne Tower through a makeshift world gate. Under the cover of the magic swamp, this slight disturbance in space and time would not be noticed.
"Xiao Zha, send Xiao Qiao back to the Fortress of Solitude in the Arctic. Louise and Martha are waiting there."
Mason said to the White Wizard, who nodded, but before leaving she asked again in confusion:
"Why is Jason nowhere to be seen after this whole battle? He's not the type to run away. What did you send him to do?"
"Escort a dangerous person."
Mason whispered:
"I don't feel comfortable leaving Black Adam to anyone else. Demon Knight and Shazam will personally escort him to the Rock of Eternity. Only there can he be imprisoned for a long time."
"Oh, this is a very good arrangement indeed."
Xiao Zu finally felt relieved.
She reached out and pulled up Xiao Qiao, waved her magic wand and opened a portal to the North Pole. The polite Xiao Qiao waved goodbye to Mason, then wrapped in a blanket and disappeared into the portal in the cold wind.
"Da Chao is indeed a moral role model, and he has taught his children well."
Mason sighed, and Harley, who had just finished examining Xiao Qiao, came over and whispered:
"Joe's physical fitness has been completely enhanced. The annoying Damian accidentally injected him with a superhuman drug, which made it easy for him to master the Kryptonian power that he had difficulty using before.
But Kent Farm will probably need to prepare more plates, dishes and cups next time... Um, the tree man is out! Look, sweetheart, it has grown a lot bigger. "
Mason looked back.
At the gradually shrinking entrance to the magical swamp, Groot, who had already completed his meeting with the Forest Council, was striding out.
Just as Harley described, Groot's body, which had been slender and well-proportioned, had expanded several times and looked not much different from the swamp monster covered in vines.
What stands out is a heavy sense of power.
However, compared with the previous swamp monster, this tree man from another world has a green cloak on his shoulders, and the broken tree stump on his head is shaped into a natural crown, making it look like it has retained some more "personal characteristics".
Rocket Raccoon was very happy about the change in his good brother. He proudly stood on Groot's shoulder and looked down at Harley's two dogs, showing an attitude of taking advantage of the power of the other.
As for Poison Ivy...
Mason glanced at the power orb of the Green of All Things in his hand. He had to ask Ivy's opinion before deciding whether to let her accept the will of the Green of All Things.
It can be seen from the previous performance of the swamp monster that this thing brings not only power, but also danger.
Just as Mason walked towards Poison Ivy, a shout mixed with the aftermath of the explosion suddenly rang in his ears:
"Mason! The Rock of Eternity is under attack! They're trying to kidnap Black Adam!"
Demon Knight Jason Blood is requesting support and the situation seems critical.
Mason had expected this, but it was impossible to get to a strange place like the Rock of Eternity by ordinary means of transportation, so Jason gave instructions while asking for help:
"Shazam wants you to find a means of transportation immediately. He will guide you into the Rock of Eternity. Quick! The other side has more people and more power. We can't hold on."
“Get in the car!”
Mason immediately whistled, and the Hell Locomotive parked at the edge of the swamp rushed to his side with flames.
He turned over and rode on him. Harley immediately jumped behind him and hugged her sweetheart tightly. As the motorcycle roared, she grabbed Poison Ivy's arm and pulled her behind her.
Groot threw out vines that wrapped around the burning locomotive and carried it flying.
Three people, two dogs, a tree man and a violent raccoon were crammed into a motorcycle that could only seat two people, making it look as cool as a fancy ride at an Indian military parade.
Amid the barking of the dogs, Mason twisted the accelerator and the roaring motorcycle accelerated to its maximum speed in an instant. Amid the screams of Rocket Raccoon, a mysterious passage appeared in front of him like a rotating light curtain, and then a group of people rushed straight into it.
Amidst the flashing arcs of light, this group of people were dropped into the chaotic battlefield like a force of gods descending from the sky. Mason made a dashing emergency stop on the ground, leaving a trail of burning, and as a result, he almost threw all the guys in the seriously overloaded car out.
The howling black light that came towards him shattered Mason's body, splashing water everywhere, followed by a smooth combo that froze everything. The cold squadron leader appeared again, with a disposable BFG9000 electromagnetic cannon in his hand.
He raised his hand, aimed forward and fired, blasting a cloaked girl who was fighting Shazam in close combat away.
The destructive power of the earth-shattering energy beam was incredible, and it directly knocked the girl back to a mortal from her state of divine power. However, Shazam did not step forward to finish her off. Instead, he pulled her out under the pressure before she was annihilated by the energy cannon.
"This bastard has betrayed us!"
Harley, who was holding the Origin X Metal Hammer, exclaimed when she saw this scene, but it was not the case. The reason was too complicated to explain for a while.
Seeing the reinforcements coming, the leader of the enemy who was besieging the Demon Knight whistled, and several people immediately retreated with Black Adam who was trapped by magic chains.
Groot stepped forward and unleashed the power of a swamp monster, transforming his hands into giant vine hammers and roaring and attacking. However, a weird guy holding a cane in the opposing camp created an illusory balance to eliminate all the destructive power.
He also created an illusion of a giant crocodile and rushed towards Groot, but the tree man who had just gained power was not afraid at all and stepped forward to fight with the opponent.
Next to the tree man, there was a raccoon riding on a dog with a rifle on its back, charging forward. It was just as outrageous as riding an anti-tank dog.
However, a white shadow appeared in the dim moonlight, holding two moon-wheel knives and attacking Mason from behind.
Wow, the game here is to capture the leader first!
But is it so easy to attack Mason, who has experienced so many battles?
Just as he was about to chop Mason's head with the Moon Wheel Blade, Kevin, carrying a mud gourd on his back, jumped out, transformed into Superman and punched him twice. Then a scorching phoenix appeared in the flames and opened its mouth to spit out flames that were thousands of degrees hot.
During this gap, Mason reappeared in a safe area after the water body reorganized, with a disposable Falkner in his hand. He locked, aimed and shot in one go.
With a loud bang, the opponent's leader was swallowed by the green light cannon.
However, this attack that could penetrate the starship's armor did not hurt the opponent. As the moonlight floated in the chaotic Eternal Rock, the guy who was swallowed by the energy strangely reshaped his body and appeared behind Mason like a ghost in the moonlight. He swung two moon blades and hit Mason, causing him to stagger back.
Close combat is not the captain's strong point.
"Woo woo woo"
The sharp howls of hellish ghosts mixed with the rising of sinister spiritual power shattered the seven stone statues placed in the Eternal Rock one after another. Billowing black smoke entangled and diffused the spot, even forcing back the old knight in the form of Itlet.
Then, the released dangerous evil spirit was absorbed into the body by a guy wearing a black suit and with a strange pupil in his left eye through deep breathing.
He was swaying as if he was on drugs, stirring up gusts of dark power to drive everyone back. Then he shouted to his leader:
"I got the stuff!"
"withdraw!"
The man in white, who was swinging his sword to chop the flowing water with freehand and chic movements, retreated without any delay. As he turned over nimbly, Mason pulled out his pistol and shot him with a quick shot, shattering the starry sky mask on his face.
Under the mask was a face wrapped in strange bandages, and on the forehead there was a strange crescent mark like the one on Mr. Bao.
"Moon Knight?"
Mason said his name.
The latter dodged nimbly like a ghost and landed in front of Shazam's throne at the top of the Rock of Eternity. He put away his sword in a dashing manner, and the huge moon-wheel battle blade turned into a small thing like a bat dart and was put back into the groove on his chest.
The fellow stood in the moonlight, stretched out his finger and shook it at Mason, and said in a long voice:
"NONONO! It's the A-class personnel 'God's Envoy', my dear B-class member Mason Cooper, you should call me 'Sir'.
You ruined my best-laid plans, but that's okay.
The warlock asked me to say hello to you.
What follows is a real fight, and I hope you and your world are ready for it."
After saying this, he put his hand on the imprisoned Black Adam's shoulder and whistled to Mason:
"Thank you for sending the most powerful attacker to my team. I will remember this kindness and will be gentler next time... Bye, everyone."
