Volume 7: Da Mu Da Mu Chapter 70 Want to form an alliance? No problem, but please send a sour and spicy messenger next time
Although the invasion war has ended, not all participants have left the battlefield world. SHIELD still has a very high-level team of messengers left in Gotham, observing the other world while pushing the cooperation between the two sides to a closer level.
They have had many meaningful conversations with the Justice League, planned and reorganized the superhero ecosystems of both sides, achieved an end-to-end strong combination of the Avengers and the Justice League, effectively deepened the perception of both sides, planned a new track for the resistance cause, formed a joint battle force against the Council of Hope, found a new way of playing and tried to deliver a short, flat and fast combination punch.
In layman's terms, both sides are learning from each other.
After all, they are the top hero teams in each other's world and have something in common. After learning about each other's past experiences, they will inevitably have a feeling of mutual appreciation.
This time, both sides of the war did cooperate with each other and realized that they needed to learn from each other's strengths. For example, the Avengers believed that it was necessary to select a character similar to Batman from among them to become the brain of the team, and the Justice League also felt that some of the Avengers' ideas were very good, such as their numerical advantage and good cooperation with the authorities.
Especially with the support of S.H.I.E.L.D., a huge official spy organization, the Avengers have a huge advantage in intelligence.
Batman, who doesn't trust anyone, is also happy to see this kind of cooperation. On the one hand, he can satisfy his weird voyeurism.
Yay! There are new idiots here to try to install surveillance cameras on these otherworldly guests!
On the other hand, considering the threat of the Conqueror Sequence, the master also felt that he must collect as much information as possible on heroes and superhumans from other worlds.
It would be best to get the Avengers' database directly, so that one's own anti-XX tactics can be enriched more quickly.
Of course, there are simpler ways, such as calling Mason and asking him to copy the reaction tactics he has developed and use them directly.
However, the master is also a veteran hero with his own dignity, and he disdains to use such "take-it-as-it-is" means, although he has to admit that Mason is probably better than his master in collecting information and formulating countermeasures.
It's not just the Avengers' messengers and representatives who remain in the Gotham world, there are also more mysterious and powerful guys, the ultimate K-Team trio.
These three big guys have disappeared since the end of the war.
But they have been wandering in this strange world to make effective and direct observations, and what attracts them is naturally not ordinary things.
"I found traces of the Split Fungus and the Withered Ashes. They are hidden very deep. Compared to the original three forces, these new forces that gradually evolved with the development of human society are very low-key."
In the shadows of the Batcave, Frog said to Black Strange, who was standing in front of the Batcomputer:
"The Split Fungus represents the will of fungi, while the Withered Ashes are microorganisms. The two originally came from the same source but subsequently split into different branches.
They hide their kingdom outside the real world and do not intervene in the world's evolution on a large scale, but their power, like the three original forces, is spread throughout every corner of the world.
It’s a magical existence.”
“Do you also feel magical about these things?”
Hei Qiyi turned his head and glanced at Frog Tu, who was writing and drawing in a large notebook. He said jokingly:
"As a former observer, I thought you knew all the mysteries of the universe."
"Observers can see a lot, but we can't see everything. It's not that we don't have the ability, but we don't have to."
The frog with the mark of exile on his forehead shrugged and said in a very Versailles way:
“There is always a need to leave some fun in a long life. The experience of accidentally discovering new things like this always satisfies my overly strong curiosity.
Next, I plan to continue tracking the root power of this world's existence. According to some legends, there is still a final metal spirit among the six original forces of this world that has not yet been discovered by me.
I guess its cause must be related to the rapid development of scientific and technological power, perhaps hidden in machinery and the Internet. This is the perfect field for Ultron, so I will borrow him temporarily. "
"Whatever you want."
Hei Qiyi waved his hand and said:
"Go and do your thing, I can do it alone.
This world doesn't seem that interesting to me. Its appeal to me is rapidly declining. Perhaps I will leave here soon.
Rather than watching these dying creatures, I would rather see what Mason and his crew do next."
"You want to follow Team K?"
Frog opened his eyes wide and said:
"Do you plan to stay there permanently, or participate in their actions in other ways?"
"It will be all right."
Hei Qiyi raised his head, sensing something throbbing in the darkness, and said:
“The Fourth Impact is coming, can you feel it?
The tremor originating from the depths of the universe is already brewing, which will be a very important fate and time node for Team K and Mason Cooper.
The same is true for us.”
"I don't deny that."
Wa Tu put away his big notebook, took out a strange-looking armillary sphere and put it in his hand. He said:
"The model of this universe has entered an irreversible collapse. Time is running out for everyone. You are not like me and Ultron. You don't have much perception of eternal death.
You still have work to do, and it's necessary to pay more attention to Mason.
But if you continue to stay in the material world, then others will also notice you, and if I guess correctly, messengers from other forces will soon appear in front of you.
It’s the same harassment and requests that they’ve been trying to establish contact with us as observers.”
"What are you implying? You might as well make your words clearer!"
Hei Qiyi looked at Wa Tu with a strange attitude and eyes. Wa Tu was silent for a moment and said very frankly:
"I just don't want to see you in the enemy camp one day, Strange. You are too persistent, and what's worse is that you don't even hide your persistence.
Mason used this to convince you, and the other party may also use this to convince and take advantage of you.
As I said, you are not resistant to being taken advantage of.
As long as the goal can be achieved.
In the words of the Bat Family, you're a destabilizing factor, you know what I mean?"
"Just do your own thing and mind your own business so that you can continue your boring life for hundreds of millions of years. I don't need you to think too much for me."
The Dark Mage Supreme snorted.
He didn't like discussing his obsession with others casually, and Watu didn't continue to persuade him. He took a step back and disappeared into the shadows.
Black Qi reached out his hand expressionlessly and pressed a button on Batman's computer. It seemed to be a mechanical operation, but it was actually some kind of magic that started the Batcomputer and bypassed various restrictions to start browsing various information in the database.
He was not too curious about things in the material world .
Just to kill time and let Mr. Hei see what the stupid humans in this world are doing that they simply cannot understand?
A few minutes later, Hei Qiyi suddenly stopped browsing and looked back at the energy vortex that appeared behind him. He smiled sinisterly, leaned against the Batcomputer, and said:
"You are finally here. I have been waiting for a long time."
"Hats off to you, Doctor Strange."
Amidst hearty laughter, a large black man dressed in primitive attire walked out of the energy vortex.
He was dressed in a very wild manner, holding a wooden spear, his face was covered with various oil paints, and the shape of eyes was sculpted with colored clay on his forehead.
It looks a bit weird, but the divinity floating around this guy means he is no ordinary person.
Under Hei Qi's strange gaze, he took the initiative to introduce:
"I am the messenger of the Council of Hope and a member of the 'Gods'. I come here to greet you and bring you the Council's sincere invitation.
We hope you will join us in working towards the future of the Stars.”
“I won’t ask you where you get the confidence to convince me, nor do I need you to introduce to me how powerful the Hope Council is, or what status it can give me.
I don’t care about that.”
Hei Qiyi waved his hand, indicating that these polite words should be stopped.
He asked bluntly:
"Let's talk about your philosophy first. If you want me to join you, you have to convince me of your views on impact, your plans for the parallel world, and your thoughts on the future."
"It's really direct. Your style of not wasting time is really worthy of praise."
The Council's messenger laughed, then explained seriously:
“I hope that the original intention of establishing the Council is undoubtedly the same as the cause that Mason Cooper is promoting at this time. Everyone is trying to find a path to rebirth in the annihilation of the Dark Ages. To achieve this, we can use any means.
As for the impact.
That is just a sad stage of the death of an overly old universe, and we have summed up a set of effective methods to avoid its continued impact through repeated impacts. "
"Oh, I understand. When you face difficulties, you choose to escape, and you hope that I can be a country rat like you and be proud of it."
Hei Qiyi sneered and said:
“It’s really not surprising at all.”
“It’s not just about running away.”
The messenger was not angry at the bitter sarcasm. He shook his head and said:
"We are ready to deal with the last few impacts. Multiple forces have reached an agreement. We will jointly create a 'final world' and transfer valuable lives and civilizations to it to create a 'doomsday ark'.
The change of eras is inevitable.
But it does not mean the end of all things, just as there is rebirth in death, if strong people like you join us, this operation can proceed more smoothly.
We have calculated the timing of the era change and established an effective response model. Now all we need is to build a sufficiently solid framework.
Please believe in our sincerity.
Compared to us who have countless resources to deploy, the chance that the camp of Mason Cooper you have currently chosen can survive to the end is so small that it cannot be ignored.
Their victory is but a fight between ants beneath the feet of a giant, and represents nothing of value."
"You seem confident, even though I think Mason's description of you as 'clay-footed giants' is accurate. You are not united, but you look strong but each of you has his own agenda, like rats huddled together on a sinking ship.
Not really happy with the current situation, just because you have no other choice.
Even from your empty words, I can sense your despair. In terms of confidence and hope, you are not even as good as an 18-year-old young man. You dare not even speak out your true thoughts. "
Hei Qi sighed.
He looked at the messenger in front of him with a strange look, just like a chef looking at ingredients, or like a gourmet waiting for the dish to be served, and he said:
"Okay, okay, before you make a decision, I have one last question..."
…
Mason, who was busy with his work in the office of Osborne Tower, suddenly raised his head and saw Mr. Black Strange walking out of the dark door.
The latter seemed to have just finished his meal and was wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
He walked up to Mason's desk, stretched out his hand to him without beating around the bush, and said:
“Don’t embed the Time Stone in a weapon, that’s the stupidest way to use it. Make a magic pendant like the Eye of Agamotto and place it close to your body.
You are not a spellcaster, so don't try to control the power of time. The greatest use of this thing in your hands is to prevent you from sudden death. Of course, you can try to discover its uses with your amazing craftsmanship , but that is your own business and I will not get involved.
Now, give me the black apple in your hand. I need to ask it a question. "
"A person can only ask once."
Mason picked up the penguin umbrella and handed it to Hei Qiyi, and then earnestly instructed:
"You'd better make sure that's what you really want to ask before asking. In addition, although it will give a standard answer to your question.
But the standard answer does not mean it is correct.
These are two different concepts.”
"I know what I'm doing, kid, and I don't need you to worry about me."
Hei Qi glanced at Mason, as if he disliked his meddling in other people's business.
Then he held the black apple decorated on the umbrella handle in both hands, looked directly at this round cosmic artifact, closed his eyes and asked his own question in his heart.
Mason watched the process with great curiosity.
This was the first time he saw the Black Apple take effect, and he was curious about what it would look like when it took effect.
Will there be auspicious clouds flying all over the sky? Will there be an energy explosion that will wipe out the entire Osborne Tower in an instant? Or will it turn the world under my feet into humble stardust among the stars?
He stopped writing and looked ahead.
But nothing happened.
It was not until a few seconds later that Hei Qiyi opened his eyes again and returned the penguin umbrella in his hand to Mason with an expressionless face.
He opened his mouth to speak.
But black blood flowed down the corners of his mouth and nostrils. Under Mason's gaze, the strange black human disguise "collapsed" at this moment, and the appearance of the evil god in the material world made Mason's ears ring with strange low sounds.
But he soon regained control of his body's changes and returned to his usual sinister attitude. After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he said to Mason:
"I hope the Council sends an emissary to persuade me to join them."
"I'm not surprised by that."
Mason looked at Hei Qiyi with his hands folded and asked:
"So how do you feel about this?"
"It's a bit bitter, like the combination of fresh bitter melon and sea fish. It's refreshing at first but has a bad aftertaste. I have to say that they have a bad eye for selecting envoys."
The Dark Supreme Sorcerer seemed to have answered the question irrelevantly.
But Mason curled his lips and was completely relieved.
He said jokingly:
"Maybe they should have picked a spicy one. No one hates spicy. I'm also glad you didn't abandon us."
"It's just temporary."
Hei Qiyi snorted and said:
"I just want to see how you will respond to this impact. If it doesn't meet my expectations, there's no need for me to continue playing these doomsday games with you.
The black apple...
Don’t use it casually!
You can't withstand its mental backlash right now, maybe you can be three times stronger."
After saying that, he turned and left. Mason asked behind him:
“Can you share the question you just asked it and the answer? I’m really curious about this.”
"Being too curious is not a good thing. Exploring dangerous secrets is also harmful to your health. Why do you always look at other people? Pay more attention to yourself."
Hei Qiyi was obviously not in the mood to share his thoughts. The questions he asked to the origin of the universe and the answers were destined to be known only to him.
But before leaving, Mason took out a box from the drawer beside him and said to Hei Qiyi:
"I need your help, Strange. I need to find a sufficiently powerful and stable energy source for these spells. The powers they need to be endowed with are varied. Among the strong men around me, only you are the most qualified."
"Why would I do that?"
This boss, who always had a cocky personality, turned around 180 degrees and said to Mason in a very scary manner:
"What good would it do me to give my power to your creations?"
"You should be familiar with the style of the Bat Family, right?"
Mason picked up a blasting dragon charm, tossed it in his hand, winked at Hei Qiyi and said:
"Everything we send out has at least one monitor inside it, which helps us gather information and avoid bad situations.
These talismans imbued with your power will be sent out by me, and anyone who holds them will become your "eyes" and "ears". In this way, as they continue to be active in the worlds, you will be able to gain a lot of information without leaving home.
This is an intelligence network that comes to your doorstep!
Tsk, if I didn’t have the ability, I would have come here myself.
Even if you don't care about this information, wouldn't it be nice to use these spells to make some dark deals with the users when you're bored, or to instruct them to do something that pleases you?
One has to find some fun for oneself, right?
The greater the pressure, the more this is the case. If there is no entertainment in the boring life, people will go crazy.
I mean, be nice to yourself, big man."
