Volume 7: Da Mu Da Mu Chapter 24 Mason Cooper, Welcome to the Top of the Food Chain
"Mason! Can you hear me?"
Just after finishing his conversation with the master about the Last Knight, the flip phone in Mason's pocket began to vibrate. He answered the call and heard Ciri's warning on the other end:
"I have bad news for you. I just checked the records of the destiny machine.
The Warlock used the storage of the source zombie virus a few days ago, and the weapons loaded with the virus were distributed to several pioneering teams. The Swordsman is currently confirming the whereabouts of the virus weapons.
But the good news is that the transfer gate that Old A promised to transfer is already on my side. You should make preparations early and notify me immediately if the situation changes. "
"Where's the warlock himself?"
Mason was not surprised by the bad news. He lit a cigarette and asked:
"Has he left for the battlefield?"
"He's still in Star Castle. I'm keeping an eye on him."
The hunter replied:
“He knows that as long as he appears in your world, he will be attacked by me and the swordsman. This guy’s idea should be to let the war situation deteriorate to an uncontrollable level first, and then end it with the final blow.
The entry of 100 B-class teams, nearly a thousand C-class teams, and tens of thousands of pioneers will push your world into chaos in a very short time. Their only goal is to use various means to make your world surrender, but this should not be so easy to do.
I guess the Warlock will use the Cleaner later.
Except for the diehard fans of the Warlock, the fighting spirit of other teams is not so strong.
You should know what kind of people the members of the Star Club are. They are cunning and greedy, and they will not have much motivation to act before the situation becomes clear. Considering the dangers of the Beyond Grade A world, most people will choose to work without putting in any effort after entering the battlefield.
Moreover, the Warlock has recruited many teams from the Swordsman faction to join the war this time, with the aim of using your hands to complete a major cleanup within the Star Society.
I admit that this method is vicious, but it also means that those guys are resistant in their hearts. My suggestion is to pick a few places to teach them a lesson. A head-on blow with enough weight may slow down the offensive.
But you have to be careful, I suspect the warlock may use some extra-curricular forces.
For example, the Ghost Riders are also under his command in this kind of invasion led by the Star Society, and the World Gate projection core of the Star Castle is being shut down.
He is determined to turn your place into a cruel arena."
Ciri paused and said to Mason:
“Also, you need to hurry up!
Once the world's major civilizations officially choose to surrender, this war of development will be over in name only. When the cleaners receive a reasonable request to take over, the situation will be even worse."
"Mason! Look at this!"
Zombie Wanda called out from behind Mason.
The captain turned around and saw Scarlet Witch holding a retro TV picked up from the ruins of the Tower of Destiny. The screen was playing a live broadcast from the White House.
The president who always seems to be unable to wake up is announcing to the people that they have reached a mutual assistance agreement with "friends among the stars". The country will withdraw from the war and require all superheroes and resistance organizations in North America to lay down their arms and welcome "peace".
Amanda Waller, standing next to the white-haired president on the screen, had a blank expression on her face. This might be the important reason why Warlock chose the Sky Eye as his messenger.
Next to Amanda Waller were "representatives" from the Star Club.
He was an indifferent man in a black suit. He had an ordinary face but a pair of extremely cold eyes, as if he didn't care about anything.
"That's the A-level member 'devour'."
Mason transferred the video to the hunter through the communicator and confirmed the man's identity. She said to Mason:
"As a Grand Master, the Warlock is well versed in the process of conquest wars. He uses this little trick to gain the upper hand and put pressure on you, but there is still time...
What are you doing?"
While Ciri was talking, she saw Mason pouting and taking out a mechanical switch and pressing it casually. Then, as if he was not satisfied, he cursed under his breath and pressed the switch four times in a row.
She asked in surprise, and Mason threw away the switch and said casually:
"The Justice League's assembly order was given to me by Batman. I assigned all the superheroes who are still able to move there. Don't they want to create a 'peace model'?
Then I will respond to this strategic intimidation with practical actions.
This chaotic country and that brain-dead bastard cannot represent the civilized mainstream of this world, and the peace agreement that the awakeners are deceiving themselves with is meaningless.
Keep calm, Ciri, and wait for my news."
After saying this, Mason hung up the call, gestured to Professor McGonagall beside him, and said:
"Open a portal over there. We'll go meet that A-level member and kill Amanda Waller. Let's show those 'wake-ups' what happens when they surrender."
…
Although the President issued a global "peace initiative" twenty minutes after the invasion began at the "suggestion" of the Sky Eye Society , it is clear that not everyone is willing to make peace with this group of reckless foreign invaders.
Summoned by Mason in the name of Batman, a large number of rebels soon arrived in Washington and started a fierce battle with the pioneers of the Star Society.
The Warlocks regarded the first surrendered city as a forward fortress, and more than ten B-class teams and nearly a hundred C-class teams were deployed here.
These diehard fans turned the city into a fortress in a short period of time. When Mason walked out of the portal, he saw a red tornado sweeping across the defense line on the chaotic street in front of him.
That's Red Tornado, a member of the Justice League, and he's a pretty powerful guy.
There is also a female warrior with wings and an eagle as her symbol in the sky attacking the pioneers' aircraft.
This woman was extremely brave. She could easily knock those low-level pioneers down from the air with one hammer. This should be the Senagang warrior Hawkwoman who was accidentally stranded on Earth mentioned by Martian Hunter Uncle Jon before.
These two are the pioneers of the aerial assault. On the ground, there are Atom, Colossus, Starfire and members of the Green Arrow family fighting with a group of street heroes. They resist bravely but are outnumbered. The fall of the Watchtower previously trapped many members of the Justice League in the Osborn Tower, and they would not be able to get back for a while.
This time, facing the siege of the Star Society's hounds, it was all up to the Star Chaser to swing the Star Staff and shoot out energy beams regardless of the cost to clear the field.
Surprisingly, Mason actually found Xiao Qiao here.
"Shua"
He reorganized himself through water and appeared on a burning high-rise building. When Little Joe was chased by a griffin and flew through the air, he released Scarlet Witch to tear apart the griffin and the low-level pioneers behind it. He also instructed Professor McGonagall to use Apparition to grab Superboy's arm and pull him to a safe area.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you go rejoin Damian?"
Mason asked, and Xiao Qiao curled his lips and said:
"I'm here to save my mother! I've already informed that annoying guy.
My mom heard that the president was going to make peace with the hounds of the Star Society, so she came to report the frontline news, but she got stuck. I couldn't get through to my dad, so I had to come here on my own."
"The reporter is really brave. He dares to be on the front line in such a situation."
Mason was immediately shocked by Ms. Louise Lane's dedication to her profession, but he obviously did not agree with Xiao Qiao's behavior at this time. The Kryptonian boy's power was still not proficient, and it was difficult for him to really play a role in such a high-intensity confrontation.
"Take Louise and retreat to Metropolis!"
He said to Xiao Qiao:
"Damian and his Young K Squad are there. Go and meet up with them and accept Batman's command. Don't worry, your father and aunt will be back with reinforcements soon. That's when we can truly fight back."
"oh."
Xiao Qiao was an obedient child. He did not refute but still asked worriedly:
"These hounds are causing trouble all over the world. They have already blown up several nuclear power plants. I heard from my mother that there has been a blackout in Europe.
us……
It’s not that I don’t believe you, but can we really win?”
Facing Xiao Qiao's question, Mason did not answer but used the communicator to shout to the other end:
"Zuck Kang! Where are you and your friends? I've arrived in Washington, and things are going bad here. I need some illegal spells!"
"Positioning also takes time, why are you rushing us?"
Zha Kang replied angrily:
“Isn’t it coming?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge flashing golden arc lit up in the air, just like the classic scene of the Supreme Sorcerer performing teleportation.
Thunders gathered on a red figure and flashed out from it. The moment Shazam, holding a refined version of Thor's hammer, flew into the battlefield, there was a rumbling thunder. Hundreds of lightning bolts swept across the sky, clearing out the low-level pioneers flying around.
The demon knight Itlegan followed closely behind, falling from a high altitude in the form of a demon. When he hit the ground, he took a deep breath and spewed out billowing fire towards the ground, burning the whole street into a sea of fire. He grabbed the X-metal halberd and rushed towards the enemy with a roar. With a wave of his hand, he killed the C-level members who were sent to the front and made them cry for their parents.
This is the true combat power of the low-level members of the Star Club .
It cannot be said to be a dish, it can only be said to be better than nothing.
According to Mason's understanding of his colleagues, even a well-equipped and well-coordinated B-level team would be at an absolute disadvantage when facing powerful heroes like Itlegen and Shazam alone.
Just like the Hydra team was also a veteran B-class team, but they couldn't confront Superman head-on, and they were beaten badly by Batman.
In other situations, the pioneers could certainly use conspiracy or flexible tactics to ambush the enemy, but in the current large-scale frontal battlefield, once the powerful heroes exert their destructive power, the hounds can only escape.
After all, these villains and scum recruited from various worlds do not have such strong will and noble dedication to sacrifice everything for the warlock's ambition of conquest.
Without the support of will, it is a luxury to be able to exert the strength that one should have in a crisis, let alone explode.
The A-level team might be the real tough nut to crack, but the entire Star Club can only muster twelve A-level teams, and the other half are from Mason's side. Overall, the situation is chaotic but still controllable!
Seeing Zha Kang riding on a zombie flying dragon wearing the cloak of destiny, and together with Xiao Zha majestically throwing various magic bombs from high altitude to the bottom, Mason moved his shoulders comfortably, glanced at Xiao Qiao beside him, pointed at the chaotic position below, and said:
"Do you still have any questions now?"
"Well, I thought all the Stars would be hounds as powerful as Black Adam and Swamp Thing."
Little Joe grinned, gave Mason a thumbs up and said:
"They just rely on their numbers. If you see their cowardly nature, there is no need to be afraid of them."
"No one should be afraid of them. They are just a group of hounds who don't know why they are fighting and only know how to chase bones. Are you afraid of dogs?"
Mason gestured to Little Joe and said:
“You should go now. Team K also has their own mission. If you want to join, cooperate with Damian. I have to go get busy.
Bless me.”
After saying that, Mason jumped down from the burning high-rise building. After several flashes of water, he approached the target of this trip. In front of the white building surrounded by the mysterious troops wearing the uniforms of the Sky Eye Society, Mason's figure appeared from in front of the fountain. With a wave of his left hand, the Coral Steel Death Trident snatched from the drowned ghost fell into his hand.
This thing was modified by Bruce Wayne using the Trident of Aquaman from her world. It no longer has the ability to affect natural water bodies and climate, but it has an additional power called "dead water", which is the power of the water flow ability that she used to restrain Mason.
This power fell into the hands of Mason, who was already able to manipulate water, and was evolved into even more destructive techniques.
“Back off!”
When the members of the Sky Eye Society in front saw Mason crossing the chaotic battlefield and appearing in front of them, they launched an attack after simply scolding him.
A large number of bullets and explosives hit him, but they were meaningless to the water man. He quickly walked forward, suddenly disappeared on the spot, and reappeared in the crowd.
There isn't enough water here for Mason to reconstitute the water column.
But it doesn't matter, blood is fine too...
As he appeared, the bodies of several Sky Eye Society members around him twitched and exploded.
All the capillaries in his body were burst by the backflow of blood in an instant. The flying blood did not fall to the ground, but continued to rotate around Mason and was thrown forward by him during the three-state transformation of the water body.
The cold wind howled and the ice surged.
The enchanting blood-red ice bloomed where it landed, like a spreading icy wind that froze several people in front of it.
Mutants' abilities require constant practice to grow, and now, with the enhancement of the Deadwater Trident, Mason's water control ability has finally entered the next stage, from auxiliary to the level that can be used as a real weapon.
But his progress towards the white building was forced to stop after a few seconds. On the grass in front of him, the cold-faced man in a black suit was standing in front of him with his hands in his pockets.
Mason stretched out his left hand and wanted to extract the water from the man's body, but when he tried, he found that the water in the man's body did not move at all. The latter's body was like a black hole, easily swallowing up all the energy approaching him.
It is also like a black flag standing on the ground, gathering the cold dark clouds and casting their shadows under its feet to form an invisible wall.
"leave!"
He looked at Mason with his cold grey eyes and said briefly:
"My mission is here, no further progress!"
"What a coincidence, my target is also here."
Mason turned his wrist and made the Deadwater Trident hum. He said:
"Get lost! 'Devour'."
"Buzz"
When he took the first step forward, the soil under his feet suddenly vibrated and pierced out three black spikes, like the special claws of some wild beast, which pierced Mason's body quickly and quickly.
The moment the water body reorganized, Mason raised the trident to block in front of him. The man in black appeared in front of him like a flash, and swept his arms to easily suppress Mason.
The moment their eyes met, Mason saw that the pair of cold grey eyes had flashed an ominous scarlet, and the latter's ordinary appearance was distorted into the face of a young man wearing a hood and casual clothes.
That was his most common form, and perhaps the form this monster once took.
"I warned you, Mason, but you insisted on getting involved. If this is how it ends, I'm sorry."
He whispered:
"Now, welcome to the top of the food chain..."
