Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 45 This shot! Pierces the stars!
"Buzz"
The golden light of the Speed Force shot into the sky like a flying arrow from the Lord's World and then disappeared, but it did not disappear. Instead, it plunged into the tunnel of the Speed Force under the special rules of the Speed Force and began to shuttle back and forth in various planes.
In a laboratory in Osborne Tower, all researchers of the K Corps have gathered here.
They are responsible for observation.
The instrument they used for observation was a model group made of a strange silver-grey material. This thing, like the armillary sphere, operated chaotically in a very special system. It seemed that there was no pattern at all. Each small ball on it represented the next plane of the current parallel world system.
This thing is a parallel world observation device made by the Mason Manufacturing Group not long ago. It is a new gadget made using the cosmic knowledge from Uncle Tun's Tower Star Database.
Dr. Otto looked at the model group with a special pair of eyes. In his eyes, the spheres of different sizes were lighting up one after another, and the different orders of lighting up outlined a strange network among each other.
Behind him, Professor Stein compared the real-time images with a complex model diagram that had been completed before the action to confirm that the speed force shot out from the speed force cannon was moving forward along the path they had originally calculated.
"The Speed Force trajectory is 100% consistent with the prediction! Preliminary conclusion is that the 'Speed Force Cannon' operation was successful."
The white-haired Professor Stein let out a long sigh, while the little Black Jacks beside him stared intently at the newly marked plane coordinates in front of him.
He couldn't help asking:
"Mason's plan says that this arrow of speed force will penetrate all parallel worlds within ten minutes. Does that mean we can also see it passing through here?"
"Yes, the estimated time of arrival at our location is 2 minutes."
Ms. Janet was holding a timer and taking notes. Without even looking up, she threw a camera-like device to Professor Stein's stupid apprentice and said:
"You can go to the top of the tower now and wait to capture the image. It will only pass through our world for less than three seconds, but if you are lucky enough, you should still be able to see it.
This is precious imagery and must be well preserved.”
"Oh, isn't this bad?"
Jacks held the camera in his hand and said:
"I have to stay here and help, lest the old professor says I have no brains again."
"You can't help us by staying here except distracting us with your big body. Go and watch the astronomical spectacle with your friends."
Dr. Victor, Mr. Freeze, walked in holding a stack of freshly printed monitoring data reports.
Although this "recruited" villain researcher has begun to cure his hypothermia, his voice is still cold and emotionless, which makes Jax a little scared.
So he rushed out of the laboratory with the camera, leaving a group of researchers here to celebrate the successful completion of this almost impossible operation in their own way.
At this time, at the top of the Osborn Tower, all the members of Team K and some muscular Amazon sisters and underwater people who had heard the news had gathered here, pointing their various devices at the sky with their cameras, ready to capture the scene of the speed force arrow flying across the sky.
There is also an artistic Amazon female painter who is mixing paints, planning to paint a classic that will be passed down through the ages.
"Come here! Jax, this is the best spot."
When Xiao Hei rushed over with the camera, Blue Beetle, who had already occupied the best position, waved to him. A group of super-powered teenagers were chattering here about the scene they were about to see.
"It's like a golden meteor streaking across the dim sky here, just like in a legendary story. Maybe we should take this opportunity to make a wish or something."
Little Morgan Stark was sharing snacks with her besties. She was holding a book in her hand, which added a touch of literary girlish air to herself.
Valeria, sitting in a wheelchair, clutches a pair of binoculars. She possesses wisdom beyond the reach of ordinary people, and therefore understands how the Speed Force works.
She shook her head and explained to the others:
"With the way that kind of supernatural power works, I think the most we can see is a golden arc breaking through the plane barrier and then disappearing. It's just a fleeting scene, not as gorgeous as you think.
And the most interesting thing about the unscientific speed force is that it works regardless of the laws of physics, so whether it is here or at the end of the universe, we can see the same light at different locations but at the same time... Wow, it's amazing."
"Ten seconds left to penetrate!"
Xiao Qiao, who was suspended in the air, held an atomic clock with a countdown, waved to the others and shouted:
"Everyone, let's count down together. It's rare for us to get together."
At the call of this good boy, everyone in the K team began to shout loudly together.
Damian thought this was childish, but the mysterious girl in a cloak who had just joined the K team a few days ago pushed him, forcing him to join in this childish game.
The roars of the muscular Amazon sisters were particularly loud, making this moment as lively as a festival.
At the moment when everyone's countdown reached 1, a loud bang sounded in the sky, and everyone looked up to see a golden light suddenly appearing from the invisible place.
The golden arc was much larger and more brilliant than they had imagined.
The light streaked across the gloomy sky like a meteor, continuously scattering golden spots of light as it flew. This scene made everyone cheer with satisfaction and surprise.
This also made Valeria, who was sitting in a wheelchair, hold the armrest tightly. Miss Smart Star widened her eyes and muttered to herself:
"wrong!
According to Mason's plan, the energy gathered by the Speed Force should not be this strong. It has passed through at least 37 dimensions before reaching our world.
Its energy loss makes it impossible for it to maintain such a huge form.
And the falling light rain should be the manifestation of the collision and fusion of the fragments of the speed force and the rules of the world where such power does not exist in the material world.
What did Mason do?
"Ah? Isn't this a good thing?"
Ashley Parker, who was pushing the wheelchair, asked in surprise. Before Miss Smart Star could explain, she heard a bang. The arrow of speed force broke through the barrier of this plane just as it appeared, and entered the next plane according to the guidance of the beacon placed outside the world.
Things should have ended here.
But the fact is that the cheers of all the people on the tower who came to watch this astronomical phenomenon were all strangled at this moment, and silence suddenly fell.
Because everyone saw something incredible.
Valeria, who was in a wheelchair, stared at the remains in the sky in amazement. She was so shocked that she grabbed the handrail and stood up suddenly. At the moment when the wind blew across the rooftop, this smart girl murmured to herself:
"The plane barrier has been... permanently destroyed... The wall that prevents the planes from connecting to each other... has collapsed. Is this... is this really part of your plan, Mason?"
Thousands of kilometers away from Osborne Tower, in the palace of the alien city of Attilan, Aunt Martha, who was basking in the sun with little Bruce Kent in her arms, now held her crying grandson in her arms and shouted to her husband:
"Thomas! Come out and see God! Little Mason has done something terrible again."
The old man, who was wearing an apron and making lunch for Aunt Martha and milk powder for his grandson in the house, heard the scream and immediately rushed out with a loaded Falkner gun.
As a result, when he looked up, this experienced old knife-holder was also stunned.
In the sky above his head, there was a rotating crack flashing with purple-red light that was slowly expanding, just like a bullet hole in a solid piece of glass.
Or does it look like... a starry devil's eye that's opening?
…
"What's going on? Why are there sudden alarms throughout the Star Castle? And why is there a sudden emergency assembly? Are the Conquerors in?"
The swordsman, still wearing pajamas with big-eyed devil head patterns, rushed into the dome observatory of the Star Castle with disheveled hair and the Sword of Soul in hand. She was awakened from a deep sleep and was still a little dazed.
But in front of him, the hunter and the wizard were looking up at the sky, and around them were more than a dozen A-level members .
Everyone was silent.
The special plane where Star Castle is located is the remains of Ciri's world that was intercepted after its demise. It is not a complete world and is therefore not included in Mason's plan. No arrows of the Speed Force will pass through here.
But what is happening right now before these pioneers' eyes makes them feel more fearful from the bottom of their hearts than that hellish astronomical phenomenon.
The swordsman looked up following their gaze and was immediately startled.
The large celestial sphere that has been placed on this observatory since the day the Star Society was founded and represents the operating rules of the parallel world system is slowly collapsing.
It's like the collapse of a quantum vortex, the process of collapse from the inside out is slow yet powerful.
This obviously meant that some kind of change that would affect the parallel world system was taking place, but for the swordsman's already overburdened brain, thinking about this symbolism undoubtedly meant terrible torture.
So she decisively chose not to think about it, but to seek answers directly from the wise man.
"What's going on?"
The swordsman leaned on his soul sword and asked the wizard:
"What happened? Why this celestial sphere, which symbolizes the operation of the parallel world system, collapse like this? I heard from that dead warlock that when this thing is destroyed, it means that the terminally ill parallel world system can no longer be maintained.
So, is the world we live in finally coming to an end? If so, I have to go back and open my 15-year-old wine collection, and get drunk with everyone before the end of the world. "
"You're not dead yet, are you?"
The hunter replied unhappily:
"So the world is not over yet, it's just that something unexpected happened. I suspect it has something to do with that man..."
"Just call it Little Mason."
The swordsman yawned and said:
"We're all family here, so who doesn't know about your little affair? Only you two are innocent enough to keep it a secret. There's no need to hide it.
But you still haven't answered my question, what exactly happened?
I heard that Mason is preparing a way to connect all parallel worlds?
Is this a sign of his success? "
"Yes, he succeeded."
The wizard Lao Shazan started to cast a spell on the collapsed armillary sphere in front of him, making the complex golden light connecting different planes appear as if through a filter.
The speed force's trajectories in different dimensions together form this overly complex speed force network that can make people dizzy at a glance.
This means that Mason really used the speed force as a thread to connect all the planes together.
"The only problem is that he may be too successful..."
Lao Sha exclaimed:
"What a great tailor! Look at his gorgeous technique. But he is too young and doesn't know how to control his strength. His single shot has made the already weak parallel world system even worse.
Although it has not yet reached the level of the last straw that breaks the camel's back, it will undoubtedly add more variables to the future."
When she heard the word "tailor", the hunter's cheeks under the mask suddenly turned red. She hurriedly shook her head to stop herself from thinking about those things and asked in a cold voice:
"So, will this phenomenon have any impact on the impact after it occurs?"
"No, it won't have any effect."
Old Shazam shook his head and said:
"The source of the impact is the rules of the universe's epochal changes. It won't stop just because the parallel world system is more fragile. What I mean by weak is that the order will become further unbalanced."
"Don't be a Riddler, asshole."
The swordsman shouted:
"Take care of us warriors who are not good at thinking. Give me an example."
"Okay, let me give you an example."
Old Shazam deeply felt the heavy pressure that the Warlock had to bear in this small group of three. He made it very clear, but this stupid swordsman didn't understand.
Oh, I'm so tired.
The wizard thought for a moment and said:
"The Star Society's expansion relied on the World Gate, and the Conqueror's conquest used an enhanced version of the sonic boom channel. What is the common point between the two?"
"Uh, both sides are bad guys?"
The swordsman blinked and said something, but the hunter couldn't bear to hear such a poor answer.
She put her hand on Liana's shoulder and replied:
"We all need tools to travel through the world, and both tools are in the hands of the Council of Hope. I think I understand what you mean. Mason broke the barrier between the planes, allowing a permanent wormhole tunnel to exist between them.
This is larger than the time wormhole planned to relieve the internal pressure of the plane, which means that many forces that were isolated from each other now have the ability to travel freely to other planes.
I hope the Council’s technological monopoly on large-scale dimensional travel can be broken!
Although it was an unintentional act by Mason, it will undoubtedly cause great psychological pressure on the members of the Council of Hope, as they have to face the covetousness of all third-party forces from all planes.
Although we will be disturbed, this sounds like a good thing?"
"Well, not a bad thing."
The old wizard pinched his white beard, blinked his eyes, and said to the hunter and other A-level personnel who were in deep thought:
"But do you really believe that this was an unintentional mistake by Mason Cooper? No, I don't think so. If I have to give a conclusion, I guess he must have modified the plan at the last minute.
Rare mistakes in such important matters were not Honor Robin's style, so this result was exactly what he expected.
This is what he planned. This is a trap that Mason Cooper set for his enemies on the spur of the moment. Ah, the young are indeed formidable. "
"We have to send someone to ask him."
The hunter said in a deep voice:
"Although the result is not bad, we must know all the truth in order to make a perfect response... Hmm? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"Hey, girl."
The swordsman smiled strangely, reached out and slapped Ciri's buttocks hard, and said:
"Hurry up and change your clothes. Wear the one he ordered for you last time. Why? Do you need someone else to help you with this kind of meeting with your lover?
Don't worry, in this battle for love, we, the 'in-laws', are all on your side!
Show Harley and Quinn some color.
Charge, hunter.
I command you to charge bravely!"
At the same time, in the Arbitration Tribunal Office of the Council of Hope, Old A stood in front of the window with a gloomy face looking at the space-time rift that was slowly opening in the sky above his head.
Once again he felt like things were beyond his control.
Although there was no evidence, the conspirator's instinct told him that it must have been done by Mason! This must have been Mason's deliberate attempt to intimidate them!
The question is what does he want to convey?
"Doing this when the Fourth Impact is about to begin? What's the difference between this and lighting a cigarette with a gas can? What kind of trick is this?"
Old A played with the Mind Gem in his hand and thought to himself:
"What exactly does he want to express? What is the underlying logic behind his actions? What is the top-level design? Or is this just a threat? I don't see how he can gain any benefit...
No!
That bastard wouldn't do things so simply, he must have a higher level to see the overall situation. Or did he already know the Council's final solution for Utopia, so he decided to take the initiative?
Impossible!
This was a decision made in a secret room, and it was impossible for anyone to send him a private message.
ah!
This unconventional little bastard is becoming more and more unpredictable and unpredictable... ah, my brain, what on earth does this bastard want to do?"
