Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 20: Underworld: Hunting Time
Mason's "fishing operation" in the Lord's world was a great success.
He was even too successful. He wanted to catch a big fish, but he caught a deep-sea Leviathan and almost ate the confident fisherman whole .
Fortunately, the result was good and the original tactical goal of promoting the alliance was successfully completed. It was not a failure on the personal level. After tonight, the captain-general had a "problematic sister".
While he was fighting hard, the other members of Team K were not idle either.
Although the overall power level of the vampire world they live in is far less exaggerated than that of the lord's world, the enemies that both sides face are the same.
Moreover, the scale of war in the vampire world is even larger than the encounters in the lord world.
The Conqueror's First Sequence Arctic Base, thanks to the activeness of the "K-Men" team before the war, the new recruits here were blocked in the underground area and the K-Men were responsible for blocking and repelling them. Therefore, the commandos led by Ertong in the ground buildings only needed to deal with the elite clones who were attacked.
He didn't bring many people with him. In addition to the thirty vampire warriors from Ms. Emilia's family, there were only two teams of Alpha Hunting Sentinels who came from Utopia for friendly support.
But these two teams of twenty-four Alpha Sentinels have dominated the entire battlefield and caused rivers of blood to flow.
Mason had previously received his Sentinel Guards as an Honorary X-Knight of Utopia. These robots that could detect the X-gene and lock on to hunt down mutants were the absolute nemesis of mutants. The X-gene absorption and growth program, which was the main component module, was specially designed for hunting down mutants.
Any attack from mutant forces that cannot quickly destroy them will make them develop resistance to the corresponding capabilities. They can also share combat experience with each other to become a fighting whole.
The main combat brains of these two teams are currently controlled by Barbara who is far away in Scarlet Castle, but their hunting program has been fully turned on, which means that wherever these guys go, people and horses are thrown to the ground.
"boom"
On the way to the depths of the base, a hunter-killer Sentinel was fighting against an entire clone squad.
Various energy attacks hitting this silver streamlined robot could not stop the latter's advance. Its two arms turned into two sharp knives under the effect of its metal manipulation ability, and its eyes continuously shot out laser beams to bombard the front. There was also a strong magnetic field covering its body. The strong firepower forced the defenders in front to retreat step by step.
What's worse is that there are elusive bloody figures that will rush out from the chaotic shadows around them. These elite vampires have received equipment support from Team K, so they are not afraid when facing the Conqueror veterans.
"Hold on! Our compatriots are retreating!"
Clone Commander Riptide raised a storm to create a defensive shield for his team members and shouted:
"Headquarters has sent reinforcements. We must hold on here! Lord Vulkan is with us!"
He shouted to instill fighting spirit into his defeated comrades, and at the same time ordered the team members in the front not to retreat according to the procedures, but it was obvious that the method of spiritual victory could not preserve any dignity in the face of cruel disadvantages.
The next moment, blood suddenly appeared from the shadow, and the kinetic pistol fired while the sharp blade stabbed.
After two or three seconds of chaos, the clone commander had to use the air flow to escape from here, but the black-haired vampire below raised his left hand and pulled it outwards fiercely. A huge amount of blood spurted out from his wound, causing the latter to fall to the ground from a high altitude like a bird with a broken wing, and was shot in the head by the flying hunting sentinel in the air.
Then, flying wind blades swept through the chaotic passage, separating the clones who had lost their commanders, and then more vampire assassins carried out chaotic assassinations.
"The passage has been cleared!"
Vampire Selina reported to her superior commander, Commander II, through the communicator placed in her ear:
"We can go deeper now, but there is a huge amount of energy gathering ahead, so it may be dangerous..."
"Bang"
Gunshots rang out, and the Phantom Cat clone who was flashing over to attack Miss Vampire was shot in the head the moment he appeared. His body fell to the ground, causing Selina to raise an eyebrow.
"If it was safe here, it wouldn't be our turn."
The sound of two barrels came from above Selina . With the sound of the flying claw gun being recovered, he fell down wearing the Scarlet Knight armor with his cloak fluttering.
The Alice sword in his hand was still dripping with blood, and a strange red glow was wrapped around the blade, and it was obvious that he had gone crazy with killing just now.
Under the red bucket helmet, Jason said to his temporary adjutant:
"Be careful, these mutants have all kinds of abilities. If you get hit, you'll have to say goodbye to this world."
"I am a vampire."
Selina, who looked like an icy beauty, said expressionlessly:
"I won't die that easily."
"That's great. They can beat you for a long time."
Ertong snorted, grabbed a large-caliber electromagnetic cannon from behind the armor and fired it at the blocked metal wall in front, blasting a high-temperature gap and rushing into it with Selina.
Four Alpha Sentinels followed closely behind, and under Barbara's remote command, they crossed the second barrel and the female adjutant to explore ahead.
This should be the command area of the base, but all the data systems in front of us have been destroyed in advance. The civilian staff of this base have already evacuated. It can be seen that they are in an orderly manner and have taken away everything that cannot be left behind.
"There are a lot of life signals ahead. It's an ambush circle."
Batgirl's reminder arrived at the right time in Ertong's ears, causing the Scarlet Knight to stop and make a tactical gesture to the vampire beside him. A few seconds later, the hunting sentinel broke through the door first and fought with the ambushers, while Ertong and Selina, who had sneaked in from the ventilation duct above, "airdropped" in the back.
The two men each held a full-fledged Fak gun in their hands, and after four consecutive shots, they eliminated the stubborn ambushers.
They continued to move forward without any pause, with the two barrels taking the main attack and Selina supporting with vampire spells. The duo's advancement speed was so fast that even the hunting sentinels could not catch up.
When they rushed to the deepest part of the base after a killing spree, Ertong replaced the special bullets for his double guns and activated the key to release his "Scarlet Knight" painted Fenrir armor.
As he jumped into the cockpit, he said to the vampire girl:
"Stand back! You stay here and don't participate in the rest of the battle. I'm going to attack by force."
The scarlet-painted Fenrir armor ejected bat-shaped floaters and high-energy particle shoulder cannons.
"boom"
Half of the deepest wall of the base was blown down, and under the protection of four Hunting Sentinels, Two Barrels rushed in. The anti-X-Men module designed by Mason himself had been activated, and there was almost no need for Two Barrels to operate too much. This heavy armor endowed with the combat personality of "Adam Hammer" instantly locked onto the twenty life forms in front and launched attacks on their weaknesses.
It was a complete massacre.
But soon, extremely high temperatures rose, and a fire as big as the sun exploded from a repair cabin. The four Alpha Sentinels were closest to it, and their metal bodies melted instantly under the heat of the solar storm.
They are trying to adapt to the heat.
But unfortunately, the energy exerted by the opponent in an instant exceeded their endurance limit, causing the expensive hunting sentinels to turn into irregular molten metal and fall to the ground.
"A mere vampire wouldn't have the ability or the courage to launch such a rebellion against us. I knew there must be other forces involved in this, but I didn't expect it to be a bunch of such daring dogs!"
Vulcan, the "God of Fire", is suspended in ionized fire.
The Conqueror Sequence General-level commander had now transformed into a ball of flaming energy. His eyes constantly bounced with golden flames, making him look like the legendary God of Fire.
If you look closely at his mutant ability, it's not actually fire, but the advanced use of various energies. However, due to his personality and fighting style, he prefers to transform energy into a raging fire to burn everything.
However, this "God of Fire" is not in his prime.
The previous failed assassination attempt on the Queen of Justice also injured him when he escaped from the Lord's World. Although he tried his best to heal, he still had to step forward and take the lead when the battle reached this final moment.
"Perhaps it is because you always like to call us 'hounds' that the relationship between the two sides has always been so tense."
Ertong replied sarcastically.
He activated Scarlet Fenrir's anti-energy mode and said jokingly:
"But I don't think that those guys who were born with obedience programmed in their genes have the right to call others 'dogs', so stop talking nonsense!
Mason is willing to give you 'brothers and sisters' a chance to surrender."
"I am also willing to spare your lives, as long as you can survive the wrath of the flames that will follow."
Vulkan responded proudly, then urged the ionized fire to bombard forward, instantly engulfing Scarlet Fenrir, but then the heavy armor broke through the flames and fired a green energy cannon at the God of Fire in response.
The main members of Team K all have their own Fenrir armor, and it is a high-end product customized by Mason Manufacturing Group according to their respective combat characteristics. The energy release level of the Omega mutants is very exaggerated, but with Mason's increasingly improved craftsmanship, it is still difficult to quickly destroy the armor.
Although Vulcan, who was hit in the face by the light cannon, did not suffer any substantial damage, the continuous blows made this proud clone extremely angry. He then rushed forward and began to "manually dismantle the armor". Ertong was not to be outdone and adjusted the armor to manual mode. He suppressed Vulkan with a set of "cyber martial arts" with three punches and two kicks.
The energy absorption of Isu Inscription was close to overload, and in the battlefield filled with boiling flames, Er Tong seized the opportunity to launch an energy counterattack.
The surging energy was gathered into a fist and slammed into the face of the God of Fire. The explosion from the direction of his energy was blasted Vulkan from the energy body back to human form.
He realized that this armor had special energy countermeasures, which meant that these attackers were well prepared!
I can't continue to pester them, otherwise I will probably fall into the trap they have specially prepared.
"Bang"
The God of Fire raised his hands and created a terrifying energy explosion to force Er Tong back. He then blew up the dome of the base and flew into the sky. He looked at the chaotic battlefield below, then closed his eyes and began to release his abilities.
Then, in this cold night, a dazzling red sun appeared, simulating the spectrum of sunlight beams and strengthening the radiation of ultraviolet rays. Under the shining light, the vampires who had no time to hide suddenly screamed, trembled on the spot, and turned into black ashes and rose up.
This is the price of rebellion!
This is just a small test. Since this world is dominated by vampires, the next step for the God of Fire is to use his own light and heat to create a second sun in the darkness, so as to kill all the vampires in the world.
This is the correct way to use Omega Mutants.
Their "self-propelled nuclear weapons" may not be stronger than Wolverine's red tank in one-on-one combat, but if the battlefield is extended to the entire planet, they can launch an extinction-level attack in a short period of time.
"Come in!"
Ertong also noticed the tactical change of Vulcan. He opened the cockpit and pulled Selina, who was hiding in the ruins, into it, and pushed the anti-energy module to the extreme.
"Barbara! Vulcan is about to launch a planetary extinction. Get Charles down! Quick!"
The Scarlet Knight sent a signal to the battlefield commander, and a response order was immediately issued. In the cold and windy clouds above the Arctic shrouded in light and heat, the kite man who had been cruising knew that it was his turn to take the stage.
A huge black shadow fell from the sky and enveloped Vulkan.
When the God of Fire looked up, he saw a black alien armor flying down at high speed and breaking through the light and heat barrier. Tens of thousands of Isu inscriptions flashed on it, dispersing and absorbing the Omega-level energy attack, and then converging into the armor's energy cabin through the conduction of the Urugin frame. When it approached the target, it bounced off the energy release device at the back of the armor.
Six black flaps popped open, and ionized plasma gathered and accelerated in the rear engine.
Just like the spread of blue wings of light.
"The first actual combat test of K Squad's anti-Omega-class energy module special armor, codenamed 'Victory Dragon', has begun!"
Charles excitedly shouted in the team communication:
"Look at me! Look at me, brothers and sisters! This thing was designed by the boss and I. It represents the arrival of the most glorious moment that the kite flyer can achieve in his life.
From now on, these Omega-level bastards can no longer show off their power so wantonly.
Light cannon here!
emission!"
"boom"
A dazzling blue beam was fired from the black armored chest cannon piloted by the Kite Man, hitting Vulkan accurately as he stared with wide eyes.
The principle of this set of armor is exactly the same as Scarlet Fenrir's energy absorption and counterattack just now, except that the redundancy of energy absorption and counterattack is increased tenfold.
Just as the Kite Man said, this is a little treasure that Mason made specifically to restrain those Omega-class humanoid nuclear bombs that are ready to launch global extinction at the slightest disagreement.
It is a fine tradition However, it turns out that even the outrageous Omega-level mutants do not have many ways to deal with the situation when their energy is used by the enemy to counterattack.
High attack and low health is probably their only weakness.
After a few seconds of energy collision, it exploded into a giant energy ring that shattered the sky and the earth. Vulkan, who was almost exhausted, wanted to transform into a stream of light and escape, but the next moment a special magic power was used in the air to spread out in all directions, bringing the entire Arctic base into a closed and isolated mirror dimension.
Zhakang, who was sent by Barbara, blew out a smoke ring, and snapped his fingers at Vulcan in front of him as the cloak of destiny swayed behind him.
"I have been practicing the secret art of swallowing for a while now. Maybe it's time to challenge myself."
The male wizard took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and said to the Omega mutant in front of him:
"If I don't strengthen myself, I will not be able to keep up with the progress of my crazy teammates. I don't want to be scolded by Mason as a guy who just wants to eat and die.
If that situation really happens, he will definitely abandon me without mercy. Besides, Emilia has served me for so long, if I don't give her some sweet treats, she will be completely won over by Xiao Zha.
Tsk, this big-breasted and brainless vampire girl thought I didn't know about her private communication with Zack. I have been following a Robin for so long, and I have long known all the ways the Bat Family monitors their own people.
Alas, tell me, what does love bring to us men?
However, I will accept your astonishing energy and your life which is not being used properly."
After saying this, Zha Kang's eyes, nostrils and mouth began to flash with dazzling light, just like the posture of Hei Qiyi when he devoured other things to strengthen himself.
The Vulcan is resisting.
But unfortunately, he was still weak after being hit by the Victory Dragon Armor just now, and was completely unable to resist the tyranny of the scumbag Constantine. Seeing how skilled the male wizard was, we knew that Constantine had actually been secretly practicing this dangerous evil magic in private.
Alas, look at the poor style of Mason's group.
A guy who was said to have a rotten soul was forced to practice hard and go down a path of no return of crazy involution.
Mason Cooper, you have done all kinds of bad things!
