Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 19: After being beaten and crying, I have to spend time with my bestie to feel better
“Snap, snap.”
The sound of the whip hitting flesh and blood echoed in Madeline's ears, making it difficult for her to calm down and summarize the battle and the losses of the Conqueror First Sequence after she had just finished treatment.
She turned around and found, as expected, that her "best friend" was abusing herself again.
The Iron-Blooded Queen who had just rescued her was right behind her. She had taken off her shoulder armor and chest protection, and with her upper body naked, she picked up a hideous whip made of an alien spine with bone spurs and whipped herself hard on the back as punishment.
There was blood gushing out from his back but he still didn't stop.
Madeline knew that this was a barbaric custom of the Iron Bloods that had been preserved since the birth of civilization, and it was not the first time she had seen it, so she put aside her desire to help others and respected her best friend's choice.
When the Iron Queen went to rescue her before, she brought almost no heavy defense, which caused her to be almost captured by the Lords of Justice. This was naturally regarded as a shame.
The reason for this result was, on the one hand, because Madeline's cry for help was too urgent for the Queen to put on her armor in time, and on the other hand, even without the protection of armor, this woman was still the most deadly life in this dark age.
She is confident in her own strength.
However, a reckless hunt without preparation is still a taboo for warriors. Her Majesty the Queen has triggered the hunters' taboo and must bear the lessons of her mistake.
The whipping at this time was to punish her for her own stupidity and arrogance.
The Iron Queen made a very iron-blooded decision to whip him thirty times and let herself endure the pain to remind her of today's failure.
Similar scars all over her body indicate that the queen's growth was not all smooth sailing.
She had experienced a tragic failure, but the fact that she was able to survive until now with these injuries showed that she had paid for all the past humiliations.
As Madeline stared with gritted teeth, the Queen whipped her own back until it was a bloody mess. Then her strange quadrilateral mouth opened and closed, emitting a hissing cry of pain.
Just look at the blood dripping from the bone spurs on the whip to know how exciting this process is.
But the iron-blooded female warrior didn't care and pulled out a small knife decorated with insect skulls from her wrist guard. She cut the tough skin on her abdomen and arms, letting the blood clots flow out to promote wound healing.
These were the injuries inflicted during the close combat with the lord just now.
The Kryptonian's power is above that of the Queen, and such an enemy must be treated with caution. She should prepare all the necessary equipment before hunting.
For example, the Kryptonite spear and the red sun lamp.
She has all these equipment, and this is not her first time hunting Kryptonians.
"Don't move, I'll treat your wound."
Seeing that the Queen was carelessly preparing to put on her armor without taking any measures, the Red Queen couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to hold her down, intending to use the Phoenix Fire to heal her best friend but was stopped by the Queen.
She was determined to keep these scars as a warrior's medal.
Apparently, in her eyes this was a beautiful symbol of power.
"Okay, I don't need to use energy to heal you, but you should at least give me some first aid and apply some medicine, right?"
Madeline took out the wound medicine used by the Iron Bloods from the Queen's armor cabinet and applied it to her while persuading her:
“You still have to carry out the mission. Your injuries will not heal and will make you weak. One failure may lead to another failure.
I don't want to see you hiding away and hurting yourself again.
This custom of yours is really terrible...Since I met you, I have seen more than one excellent Iron-blooded Warrior become weak and defeated because of self-punishment."
"Gulu Gulu Gulu? Gulu Gulu! (How can we be strong without pain? This is the cornerstone of our tribe's prosperity in this dangerous era!)"
The Queen sat there with her arms agape and refuted the question with confidence, leaving Madeleine speechless.
This difference in civilization really cannot be explained in just one or two sentences.
However, from the perspective of the aesthetics of the Predator race, her best friend is indeed a very beautiful and noble life.
Her protruding eye bones represent her supreme hunting vision. She can distinguish prey several kilometers away and accurately find their weaknesses to exploit with her naked eyes without relying on combat equipment. Her broad white skull represents that this iron-blooded lady has an extremely developed brain that can provide her with sufficiently cold-blooded, cruel and effective killing advice.
Her slender body is very agile, her taut muscles can unleash deadly power, and her chest is round, which is probably the only part of her body that reflects her feminine beauty.
But this is a real monster!
A precise killing machine, a monster that can launch devastating attacks at any time, the controller and strongest of a killing civilization.
He is the supreme lord of the iron-blooded warriors and the absolute top in the art of hunting.
Madeline had witnessed more than once how she had entered a dangerous world alone, and how she had completed the assassination of civilization and the destruction of the world in a very short period of time.
Among the many lives in the Conqueror Sequence, the Iron-Blooded Warriors are not considered an outstanding ethnic group with a profound foundation, but under the leadership of this queen, these hunters who roam the universe have formed their own regiment.
This in itself is a testament to strength and will.
The person in front of you is a life that is more qualified to have the title of "Queen" than Madeleine!
"Gulugulugulu? (There are less than twenty days left before the operation begins. Are you ready?)"
While the medicine was being applied to her wounds, the Iron Queen hissed in pain. In order to divert attention, she asked a question related to the Conqueror's next major action.
Madeleine paused, then said:
“It’s almost done. The Omega generals assigned to various places have returned to the headquarters one after another. This battle is a surprise attack, so we don’t need to bring too many soldiers. We only need the elite ones.
It is your mission to stop the enemy, and I believe you and your soldiers will accomplish it perfectly."
"Gulu! (Of course, we are all looking forward to a glorious kill.)"
The Queen clenched her fist with confidence, but then she lowered her voice and said:
"Gulu? (But do you know who our real enemy is? What are you going to do with those 'impostors' hiding among you?)"
"I said, this battle is a surprise attack and only elite troops are needed."
The Red Queen smiled and whispered in her friend's ear:
"I have to thank Lord Doom for sending me so many powerful 'little guys'. I know exactly what these imposters among imposters want to do.
However, we are attacking a superpower this time, so how can there be no casualties in such a brutal war? "
"Ho ho ho"
This meaningful answer made the Iron-Blooded Queen laugh hideously. She already understood what her cunning and vicious best friend was planning to do.
It made her appreciate Madeline's intelligence all the more.
A few minutes later, the Iron-Blooded Queen, whose bleeding had stopped, moved her body and came to the trophy cabinet. She reached out and picked up a special skull on the display stand.
That belonged to another Kryptonian.
It was once one of her most proud prey, but now it must be replaced, so let's use Lord Superman's head as its replacement!
The Queen made up her mind.
As Madeline watched, she embedded the Kryptonian skull in her hand into the handle of her own melta blade, which meant that she decided to use this blade to end the life of Lord Superman.
This is the Queen's hunting oath, and the Red Queen is the witness of her oath.
Seeing her powerful bestie ignited her fighting spirit again, Madeline smiled silently, raised her hand to distort reality, and helped the Queen to perfectly combine the melta blade in her hand with the Kryptonian skull.
"Gulu! (Perfect!)"
The Queen raised the modified Brutal Blade in front of her eyes with satisfaction and waved it in a formal manner. After confirming that the balance and feel were perfect, she turned her head and stared at Madeline, saying:
"Gulu Gulu! (Let's go. I'll send you back to your ship, and then we'll meet on the battlefield of destruction.)"
"Well, if you were a man..."
Madeline accepted her bestie's kindness. She reached out and touched the chin of the Iron-Blooded Queen, who was much taller than her, and said softly:
"Our friendship can be further developed. To be honest, aren't you looking forward to it? Cute little Ironblood."
"Goo-goo-goo! (Seriously, I don't like females.)"
The Iron-Blooded Queen pushed away Madeline's finger on her chin, shook her head seriously and said:
"Gulu-gur-gur-gur (The brave warriors who pursue me stretch from one end of the galaxy to the other. At my command they will hunt countless worlds for my pleasure.
I am not like you, who is unwanted and beaten up by your own brother, poor little guy. )"
…
While Madeline and her monster bestie were being affectionate with each other, the Lord's World had already entered the process of cleaning up the battlefield.
Mason put the disintegrated Master Power Armor of the Universe into a special safe deposit box and sent it back to the suitcase factory to await the next transformation. When he turned around, he saw Harley holding a spear decorated with a strange skull and swinging it in her hand like a little monkey.
That thing was the weapon that the rescuers Madeline had found before used to attack Mason. The captain was very concerned about its appearance, so he reached out and took it in his hand to play with it.
The information label pops up the next moment:
Hunting Halberd of the Iron Queen
Quality: Legendary Engineering/Forging/Jewelcrafting Items·Perfect Craftsmanship
Features: Sharp, Piercing, Automatic Search, Particle Beam Bombardment, Never Lose [Special Inscription Item]
Producer: Conqueror's Eighth Order Commander, Iron-Blooded Queen
Item Description: This little thing is quite unique, especially the Doomsday skull embellished on it. The way it is made is a classic example of phrenology. It not only perfectly preserves the beauty of the skull itself, but also uses a special method to give a part of Doomsday's power to the weapon itself, making it stronger when facing stronger opponents. I regard it as a perfect hunting weapon.
But its hunt failed, bringing shame upon the weapon.
hint!
Jewelry Processing Skills·Iron Blood Civilization·Loot Processing branch is opened, and Inscription Skills·Iron Blood Civilization·Strength Rune branch is opened.
"Shua"
Mason used his engineering skills to easily learn how to use this thing. With a light press on its delicate mechanism, the silver spear as tall as a person retracted in his hand into a metal rod as long as an arm, just in place of the grip of the strange skull.
He returned the thing to Harley, and told her to use it as a secondary weapon:
"Be careful when you use it. I suspect its owner will come to retrieve it someday in the future."
"Well, it's mine if it's in my hands!"
Harley swung her twin ponytails and grinned:
"This is a gift from my sweetheart. I will protect it with my life. Anyone who dares to come will be stabbed to death!"
"What a shame that we couldn't keep the dangerous Red Queen alive."
The Queen of Justice beside Mason leaned on the inspection axe in her hand and watched the speedster Wally bring back the captured Conqueror First Sequence mutant prisoners, and glanced at Magneto's adjutant who was stuffed into the time stasis capsule by Quinn.
She said with some regret:
"You have clearly created the best opportunity for us, but we failed to seize it. If we can keep her here, this protracted war may truly end."
"Don't be so pessimistic, ma'am. The war is over."
Mason checked the reports sent back by Team K and summarized them before answering:
"The conqueror bases in the vampire world have been destroyed. My team members are hunting down the last battlefield commander, 'Vulcan'. The threat to the Lord's world has been eliminated.
I will provide you with a technology that can block the planes, to ensure that the conquerors can no longer accurately locate your world.
Everyone, the war is over, we should talk about more important things next. I said before that the Fourth Impact is coming..."
The Queen of Justice nodded. There was no more wariness or disgust in her eyes as she looked at Mason. Instead, there was a sense of mutual admiration between warriors.
Amazons have always worshipped the strong, and Mason, who was able to defeat the conqueror commander on his own, was undoubtedly a strong man. Although he did not defeat the enemy with his own skills and strength, his equipment and knowledge themselves were part of his strength.
"Return to the Lord's Hall to discuss in detail!"
The Queen patted Mason on the shoulder generously and invited:
"As a friend and comrade... Of course, you still have to return my child! There's no room for negotiation. Also, I'm very comfortable using this axe. Can you give it up?"
"cannot."
Mason rubbed his brow and said:
“That is a relic of one of my companions. It is more than just a weapon . But don’t worry, Queen. I will customize a weapon that is more suitable for you.
As a token of the beginning of friendship, I will make it for free.
By the way, where are Superman and Gray Bat?"
He looked back and saw that Lord Chao and Gray Bat were not there. Only other lords were busy here. The Queen of Justice curled her lips and said:
"They are both having a 'heart-to-heart' conversation with their sons from another world. Don't pay attention to them. Conversations between men are always serious and long..."
"I don't think so."
Mason shrugged, took out two eavesdropping headphones from his pocket, put one in himself, and handed the other to the Queen of Justice. Lady Diana of this world wanted to rebuke this boring act of eavesdropping. Being so sneaky is not the behavior of a warrior!
However, Mason convinced her with just one sentence:
"That's the child of your husband and his lover in another world. The relationship between them will directly determine your son's future situation. As a mother, shouldn't you start collecting intelligence from now on?"
"whispering sound"
The Queen of Justice curled her lips, took the earplugs handed to her by Mason and put them in her ears. As Mason adjusted the frequency, the next moment, the eavesdropping devices on Xiao Qiao and Damian were activated.
At this time, the conversation between the two pairs of fathers and sons was also heard by the two "despicable" eavesdroppers.
In an abandoned high-rise building not far from the battlefield, Lord Chao, with traces of battle and burns on his body, stared at Xiao Qiao in front of him with a serious expression.
Xiao Qiao also stood with his hands on his hips, floating in the air and looking at his "father from another world". The farm boy pouted and said:
"So, you failed to protect your mother? And you got involved with Diana again? How can you be so useless in this world?"
"It's a long story."
Lord Chao sighed and planned to tell his story to Xiao Qiao.
Obviously, this child born from the union of another self and another Lois Lane also has a very special meaning to Lord Superman.
Below the flying father and son, the conversation between Gray Bat and Damian was much more "relaxed". The little madman wiped the blood off the blade, gave Gray Bat a thumbs up and said:
"I admire you, Batman, not only because you are powerful enough, but also because you in this world have finally defeated Superman on all levels!
You simply stole Superman's wife and used all kinds of means to force her to bear your child. That's awesome! This is the image of Batman I want to see. Grandpa Thomas and Grandma Martha will definitely be proud of you.
How about I arrange a family meeting?
You miss them too, right?"
"Thomas and Martha?"
Gray Bat was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head. After a long silence, he shook his head and said to Damian:
"No, I'm not ready yet. I still have a lot of things to deal with in my world, and this is not the right time to do something that will disrupt my rhythm.
However, there is another thing I need your help with. Ask your father to come over. I hope to meet the Batman from another world. I have many questions about Mason that I need to discuss with him in depth. "
"And by the way, teach him how to properly intervene in other people's lives."
Damian sheathed his sword and said:
"I really want to see the story of Batman stealing his love and Superman dying in grief in my own time. Considering that you have already succeeded once, it shouldn't be too difficult to do it again, right?"
