Volume 7: Da Mu Da Mu Chapter 49 If You Need a Plan B, Look for Batman
"Buzz"
The interference emitted by the cosmic tuning fork that looked like a golden leaning tower gradually subsided, and the traceback of the invisible force that permeated the world was difficult to perceive, but a few seconds later, Mason received a communication from the Osborne Tower.
"Mason! Are you still there? If you're alive, squeak!"
The Green Goblin's gloomy voice rang out in Mason's ears. Although it still sounded as unhurried as before, it was filled with a hint of anxiety that could not be concealed.
silence.
After five seconds of silence, Mason coughed and said to the other side:
"squeak."
"You TM..."
Even though the Green Goblin has always been calm, the ups and downs at this moment made the old man want to curse, but Mason's response meant that things did not go to the worst situation.
Although the current resistance alliance is a union of five worlds, there is too little time left for everyone to build relationships and explore each other. It can be said that at this stage, Mason and his Team K are undoubtedly the core of this alliance.
If something goes wrong with Mason, even the ambitious Green Goblin won't have the confidence to hold up the business in a short period of time.
In Norman Osborn's most optimistic estimate, if Mason really died in this war, then he would have no choice but to join Old A's team and follow that black-hearted guy till the end, which would be the only option that would allow him to survive to the end.
But now it seemed that he could still make a sound, which made him feel relieved again.
"Have Barry Allen come here quickly! Restart the cosmic treadmill. If everything goes well, the hyperspace teleportation will be online in ten minutes. Can you guys hold on?"
"I think it's uncertain. I don't know why the destroyers are late, but they could be here at any time."
Mason glanced at the night sky above his head. After the interference of the cosmic tuning fork was suspended and shut down, the expected army of conquerors and cleaners did not appear. Also, the remnants of the pioneers who had been defeated before but should have counterattacked now were unusually honest.
This abnormal situation made Mason dare not relax at all. He responded to the Green Goblin and called the Flash. Soon a stream of light appeared in front of him.
"Barry, can you still hold on?"
Mason looked at the Flash in front of him, panting and visibly about to faint from exhaustion. He felt a little reluctant, but still spoke:
"I know you are very tired, but I need you to return to Osborne Tower immediately and restart the cosmic treadmill. Bring the Avengers here first, then Sister Ka and the others. I..."
"Don't worry, Mason. I know the situation."
Xiao Shan was almost having the shaking.
After being forcibly pulled back to his own world by the cosmic tuning fork, he has been traveling between cities to save people. Although he has not participated in Gotham's war, he has not been slacking off.
After hearing Mason's instructions, he took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth:
"I already had an idea when I was running in the war world carrying a world on my shoulders. I know what I should do now. Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my duty!"
He was about to leave after saying this, but was stopped by Mason.
"Put this on."
Mason threw out his Speed Force armor and said to Flash:
"Although it cannot break the boundaries of time and space, it can at least bear some of the pressure for you when you run. You are our most valuable strategic force. I would rather lose this war than see the terrible consequences of losing you."
"That's so cheesy, Mason."
Xiao Shan curled his lips, but did not reject Mason's kindness.
He stepped into the speed force armor, stretched his limbs, and then waved to Mason. The next moment, the dark blue speed force burst out, penetrated the plane, and made Xiao Shan disappear on the spot.
At the same time, the hunter's call rang on Mason's side. He took out his flip phone and answered it. He heard Ciri gasping for breath while enduring the pain:
"Are you guys ready? We can't hold on any longer..."
With just this one sentence, Mason immediately understood why the army of conquerors and cleaners who were supposed to enter the Gotham world when Mad Laughter activated the cosmic tuning fork had not arrived yet.
They are not late.
They were stopped halfway by swordsmen, hunters and five A-level teams that were supposed to be the reserve forces. At that moment, Mason immediately thought of the scene of rivers of blood and seas of corpses.
This suddenly made his perfect impression of his female boss soar.
But this was not the time for sentimental love. Mason suppressed his emotion and asked immediately:
"Are you okay? How about the others?"
"We are fine. The reinforcements from the Shinto World and Utopia arrived just in time, but we can't delay any longer. How long will it take you to prepare the battle line?"
The hunter asked again, and Mason said to her without any hesitation:
"Retreat immediately! Let them come. The Dark Knights have been completely defeated, and my trump card power has been reconnected. In addition, the execution of the warlock is also on the agenda. You and the swordsman can come over."
"She's badly hurt."
Ciri said softly:
"We probably have to wait for a while, at least until that madwoman Liyana recovers. She has killed at least tens of thousands of people in the past ten minutes. She is such a madwoman...
See you later, Mason."
"See you later, Ciri…take care of yourself."
Mason hung up the phone and looked to his side. The Wayne family did not seize this last moment to express their longing for each other. They were gathered together to see off the Last Knight.
The guy couldn't hold on any longer.
Mason lit a cigarette, blew smoke rings as he walked over, and heard the Last Knight, who was lying beside a rock, telling Batman his last words.
The broken armor on his body, covered with scars of battle, was scattered all over the ground, revealing a little gold in the heavy rain. Although it was obvious at first glance that this thing was badly damaged, the fact that it could withstand the power of the Infinity Gauntlet showed how extraordinary this armor was.
But Mason did not pick up the spoils immediately.
Instead, he placed the "Sonic Axe" in his hand on the ground and listened to the last words of the "Dark Robin" in the sound of rain.
"I've done a lot of things wrong, Bruce."
Until the last moment of his life, the Last Knight still chose not to take off his overly dark helmet. His intermittent voice came from under the helmet, like his final confession.
He said to the master who was half kneeling beside him:
"After my world was destroyed by the Dark Knights, I vowed revenge, and I sacrificed my last companion to kill the Laughing Bat there.
I thought that was the end of revenge.
But outside the destroyed Universe Zero, there are still many parallel worlds. Then I knew that even the Dark Bats had many different time and space entities. Then I knew that my hunt was far from over.
In order to kill all these villains, I joined the Star Society..."
The Doomsday Knight coughed violently. The hidden injuries from years of hunting and fighting could no longer be suppressed at this moment. He kept bleeding, making his voice turbid.
Others could not help him.
He killed the Laughing Bat and the evil virus has infected him. Any contact may expose others to this dark power.
Amid the sound of falling raindrops, he continued:
"I carefully designed a 'chance encounter' and presented them with a world that did not belong to me. I knew that this would allow them to see my value.
I don't care!
No matter what the organization's purpose is, no matter their ideas and infighting, my goal has always been clear, just as you once taught me, Bruce.
But I was doing it wrong.
I know I'm doing something wrong.
I have pioneered again and again, invaded again and again, and even spread the virus pollution with my own hands. Many worlds tremble in my shadow, and countless people curse me as a demon.
I found the dark knights hiding in parallel worlds one by one. I killed them and ended their darkness at the cost of falling into evil.
It may have started as a vow of revenge, but it has become a battle between evil and evil.
Laughing wildly...
That is the most powerful Laughing Bat. He comes from the outside world and is different from all other Dark Knights. I tried to find him many times but he got rid of me in advance. I have never been able to find a chance to eradicate this cancer.
Until today.
I finally did what I was supposed to do.”
The Last Knight's breath weakened, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"I can finally die with a smile on my face, sinking into hell with my sins to receive eternal torture. I will smile at my end. Don't feel sad for me, everyone.
This is what I, a dark butcher with blood on my hands, deserve. "
"You are Robin. Batman has to remember all the Robins. It's my responsibility."
The master said in a hoarse voice:
"May I have your name?"
"Duke. Duke Thomas, the last Robin of Earth-0."
The Doomsday Knight smiled, and wiped his bat suit made of Doomsday Dragon leather with regret and sorrow, and whispered:
"Forget me. Don't remember me, Bruce. The Batman that belonged to me, the Robin, is long dead, but your Robins are still here. Please cherish the time you spend with them."
"You just said that this wild laughter came from outside?"
Mason suddenly asked:
"What does this mean?"
"It means literally..."
Duke Thomas realized that this was an important question, and he struggled with his last bit of strength to look at Mason. He coughed up black blood violently and answered:
"The multiverse is huge! Mason Cooper, the parallel world system we are in is just one of them. I wanted to go out and take a look, but I was not allowed to leave.
Impact!
It's like a puzzle that needs an answer! It's like a lock that needs a key! We can't leave without opening it. You must win!
If they are wrong, then you must be right!
You have to win!
You must go to the end, even for all the suffering we have endured."
"I will. I promise."
Mason said in a deep voice, but no one answered him.
Duke Thomas in front of them seemed to have activated some very special power. Under the gaze of everyone, his eyes burst into golden light, and bright flames burned from his armor.
In just a moment, the entire body was burned to ashes along with the laughing curse. The golden ashes quickly disappeared in the rain, and the armor on the spot collapsed without any support.
A Robin with a mysterious background has died.
Just as suddenly as he appeared, his departure was full of the sadness of fate, leaving everyone around him in silence and grief.
"Compared to him, the suffering we have experienced in the past is nothing."
Catwoman, who was standing next to the old man, held her lover's hand. The old man also reached out and patted Batman on the shoulder. Aunt Martha next to him had no interest in all this.
She was helping Damian clean the dirt off his body and calling him a little mud monkey.
In the distance, the sound of cameras clicking echoed in the rain. Under the cosmic tuning fork, the members of Team K were sitting on the body of the chopped-off Batman, the dragon of doom, and were looking over here. Not only was the cute Harley stealing the cards on this night of the Wayne family reunion, but even those members who were usually very steady were secretly trying to eavesdrop on the communication between these three generations.
This is the Wayne family's first-hand gossip. Who can remain indifferent to it?
Mason reached out in the rain and folded the bat suit left by the Last Knight. He did not look at the quality of the suit, because he knew that Bruce would definitely put the Robin suit into the Batcave for safekeeping.
What he really cared about was the armor and the strange axe left by Duke Thomas.
As Mason expected, when he touched the metal gauntlet that was covered with various battle scars and looked extremely worn out, the interference that he had experienced when he checked the black apple appeared on the character card again.
After a few seconds an information label pops up:
Watcher's Alternate Armor
Quality: Engineering/Forging Cosmic Artifacts·Immortal Craftsmanship
Status: Highly damaged, cannot be repaired, only available for the Watcher bloodline
Maker: Mar Novo
Item Description: This thing is forged from high-purity Origin X metal in a cosmic furnace. Although it is now in ruins, it is worth almost ten Wayne Groups if sold as scrap metal. You are lucky.
hint!
This damaged armor can be remelted into pure X-metal by special means. To complete the smelting, you need a forging skill of level 9 and a forging furnace of quality no lower than that of an artifact.
"The sacrifice of the Last Knight left us a legacy. We now have the materials to transform the Universe Master Power Armor."
Mason sighed and collected all the broken armor left by the Last Knight. His posture was just like a garbage man who found something good when "opening a treasure chest" in a trash can.
The armor of the Doomsday Knight is so powerful, and the sonic axe in his hand is naturally of great origin. It has an official name:
Inspector Space Frequency Jammer
Quality: Engineering / Jewelry Processing / Forging Artifacts·Immortal Craftsmanship
Condition: Damaged and repairable
Traits: Sharp rules, blind rules, and monitoring interference
Special effects:
Plucking the strings of the Inspection Axe, it creates cosmic frequency noise, rendering all monitoring of the user ineffective and causing a [Blindness·Rule Level] effect on the monitor.

warn!
This item is a special weapon, and to fully exert its destructive power you need melee skill level 8.
Maker: Dick Grayson, "The Last Nightwing" (Earth-0)
Item Description: When you have this axe, you can play the instrument while chopping people. This will make you appear both violent and elegant, crazy and neurotic. My advice to you is, play it now!
"Bang"
Mason, who was ready to obey, plucked his fingers upon the still-broken strings of his inspection axe.
In an instant, the master beside him lost his balance and covered his eyes, and the hunter Ciri, who had just retreated to the Star Castle to help the swordsman apply medicine, screamed and suddenly became blind and fell to the ground.
Lord Fate, who was sleeping in some strange hell plane, also snored in pain.
The worst one was a certain braised egg.
A scream came from Old A's office, which immediately alerted his tight security. The strong protector rushed into the office and saw Old A covering his only remaining eye and cursing:
"Fuck! What the hell is this old K doing? Why did I suddenly go blind?"
"Hahaha"
Mason didn't know what was going on, but when he saw the old man rubbing his eyes like a blind man and being supported by Catwoman, he knew that this inspection axe was really powerful.
I asked you to put a surveillance camera on me!
This is what happens when you peep!
Tsk, it seems I have to repair this precious axe quickly. Next time, I can flick it a few times to give those guys who are peeping at me a little Mason surprise.
"I said, the army of conquerors and cleaners will be here soon."
Mason put the inspection axe he had brought with him behind his back and said to the master who was still rubbing his eyes:
"It will take at least ten minutes for the reinforcements to redeploy. We have to hold on. I have to save my cards for last. So, if you have any ideas, please use them now, sir."
"Shut up."
Batman's eyes went dark, but he quickly steadied himself. The master with MAX blind fighting skills accurately took out a unique communicator on his armed belt, activated the special frequency band, and said to the other side:
"Tim, 'Final Plan' activated!"
"receive!"
In the secret Bat Cave far away on the back of the moon, Tim Drake, the third Robin who was secretly sent here by Batman several hours ago, yawned and inserted the three Bat Keys he carried with him into the deepest mechanical cabinet in the Moon's Bat Cave.
While he was complaining that he, Batman's last resort, didn't even have a chance to show up in such a big event, after going through a series of complicated authentication and unlocking, he saw a strange figure appear in front of him.
The third Robin widened his eyes, stepped forward to check carefully, and then exclaimed:
"Bruce! I know you have a plan B for everything, but this... Hey! Isn't this too much?"
"Untie it!"
The moment the first sonic boom channel opened over Gotham, the master's voice also rang out:
"immediately!"
