Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 47 I woke up in the morning and went to the bathroom to see alien invasion! Who can stand this?
In the early morning of Osborne Tower, Mason made himself a cup of coffee.
As usual, he added one-tenth of the stimulant, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office with the thing in his hand. When he looked up, he saw the Eye of Space-Time above his head, which had expanded to its limit and stabilized, or as Old A said, "Mason's Eye of Fear."
A slowly rotating purple-red vortex above the sky enveloped the surroundings with a strange arc of light.
It's not that it's really glowing, but it's the manifestation of the energy generated when the cosmic matter from other dimensions rubs against the local dimension in the material world.
It was like a cool halo of light surrounding them.
A sun of evil color, emitting no light or heat.
Mason had learned about the influence of his creation through various channels last night. With the tracking of the three big guys from the Ultimate K Team, the final result of the Speed Force Cannon was extremely gratifying.
Now the captain can proudly declare that he is a man who has left his mark in all planes.
"Phew, what an incredible experience."
Mason drank the last sip of refreshing coffee, turned back to his chair, and opened the internal group chat of Team K while recalling yesterday's operation.
"Report the real-time data of the internal pressure of the plane!"
He gave an order, and the next moment information was sent back from observation teams dispatched from all the worlds currently belonging to the Resistance Alliance.
"The current reading of the internal pressure of the Lord's World plane is 10. The internal pressure is decreasing faster than expected. Perhaps it is because the scale of the space-time tunnel we opened is a circle larger than planned."
Xiao Qiao, the observer of the K team, reported clearly:
“According to the comparison between the current rate of decrease of internal pressure on the surface and the standard pressure gauge, this indicator will drop below the standard value of 4 when the impact occurs.
Lord Superman just used his super intelligence to make a prediction, and he said that this value will eventually stabilize at around the standard value of 3.5."
"The internal pressure reading of the Isu world plane is 9!"
Blue Beetle's report was followed by another question:
"But what does this mean? What standard is it set based on? Why can't I understand this formula at all? I tried to use the Scarab System to deduce its calculation mode, but it almost caused my weapon system to crash."
"The standard value of 1 refers to the maximum compression value that two colliding earths can withstand during fusion. Simply put, once external pressure exceeding the standard value of 1 is applied, our fusion will fail."
Mason explained simply:
"The operation mode of the Speed Force Cannon is quite complicated. You only need to know that we must reduce the internal pressure of each plane to below the mark value 4 before the impact occurs.
This is the most basic prerequisite to ensure the completion of world integration.”
"Sweetheart! The internal pressure of the SHIELD world has just dropped to the standard value of 8.7, but I have one last question!"
Harley, who had gone on a business trip after fooling around with Mason last night, asked cheerfully in a high-pitched voice:
"Where will the pressure inside these planes be discharged? Will the big eyeball on top of our heads absorb the pressure? I used my doctorate to think about it, and it seems unscientific."
"I'm really relieved that you're finally doing something normal with your PhD, cutie."
Mason curled his lips and looked at the complex-shaped internal pressure detector on the desk. The internal pressure reading of the Osborne Tower plane was currently 9.5, which was within the acceptable range.
This meant that the first step of Mason's plan was being successfully implemented, so he explained:
“The expansion of each plane is different, so although the execution logic is to ‘decompress in advance’, what we are actually doing is to connect all the planes, and then use the Eye of Time and Space to balance the expansion force of the entire system.
Those pressures cannot be absorbed out of thin air, we don’t have that black technology yet.
It will just be applied evenly to every plane.
In this way, the propulsion force exerted on the two earths will remain roughly consistent when the planes collide, making it easier to carry out the fusion of planets under the condition of uniform speed collision.
Well, I wonder if you understand my explanation?"
"I understand."
There were responses coming from the communication system, which made Mason raise his eyebrows.
Harley said she understood and the captain believed her. Although her little cutie was a little crazy, she had a doctorate degree after all. But Bizarro, how could you be so confident that you understood?
Are you pretending to be cool?
It has to be, right?
"Mason, Gotham has been invaded! The Watchtower has just detected a lost alien fleet entering the sky above the Earth through the Eye of Space and Time.
At present, Zhenglian has been dispatched. "
Barbara quickly brought back bad news, which made Mason blink in surprise. He then got up and went to Gotham World to check the situation.
As a result, as soon as I stepped through the World Gate and looked up, I saw an entire black fleet of starships floating outside the atmosphere. Those peculiarly shaped spaceships were casting huge shadows onto the cities on the ground.
The good news is that the citizens of Gotham are well-informed and not panicking. In fact, the streets and rooftops are filled with people watching the fun, taking pictures with their cell phones and forwarding the news to spread the news.
The bad news is that communication between the Justice League and this strange fleet seems to have failed.
Mason clearly saw that the escort satellite in the front had aimed its main gun at the ground, and dangerous and powerful energy was gathering at the muzzle in preparation for firing at the ground.
"Can anyone tell me what happened?"
Mason pushed the frame and connected to the Zhenglian communication network very smoothly. He shouted, and soon Cyborg came out to explain:
“The people on the other side are the Senagans, but they are not the Senagan fleet from our dimension.
Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter entered their starship and talked with their leader, and learned that when the Eye of Time and Space was opened yesterday, an extinction-level accident occurred in their dimension.
The entire Senagang mother planet was caught in the turbulence caused by the opening of the Eye of Time and Space and disappeared. This fleet escaped the disaster by cruising outside. They followed the direction of the opening of the Eye of Time and Space and chased after it through 26 planes.
They believed that we had destroyed their home planet using space-time weapons.
They are here for revenge!"
"That's true. We did open the Eye of Space and Time, but the turbulence it created when it opened was not enough to crush a world. Please! It's just a large 'portal', not a black hole!
It does not have destructive power, so their unfortunate home planet is likely to have drifted to some unknown dimension and has not been truly destroyed."
Mason explained:
"Can you calm these alien brothers down for a while? I can take some time to explain to these winged guys how it works... although they may not want to listen."
"boom"
Before the captain could finish his words, he saw a beam of light falling from the sky and hitting the outskirts of the city in front of him. It did not attack the city directly, but was probably trying to put pressure on this world to force it to surrender.
Unfortunately, this arrogant fleet probably has no idea what happened to this world twenty days ago. It is indeed a bit far-fetched to think that a mere main gun bombardment can scare this world, which has already witnessed neutron annihilation.
Do you think the people of Gotham are afraid?
No, they would just take pictures and comment that this method of destruction is not efficient enough!
But this crisp shot interrupted Mason's words, and the captain shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Negotiations have broken down. Prepare to attack."
He flashed to the rooftop of the Next Life Bar and looked up to see the angry Dachao rushing towards him from afar like a meteor, turning into a sharp arrow, crashing into the deck of the frigate and rushing out from the other side a second later.
Other members of the Justice League also came forward to teach these disobedient aliens a lesson, while the arc of light from the mirror dimension extended across the sky.
However, the spellcaster was not Zha Kang but Xiao Zha who had not been seen for a long time. This righteous magician had lost some weight, but his spellcasting ability was obviously greatly enhanced.
Wearing Doctor Fate's Anubis pendant, she waved her magic wand in the air and enveloped the entire exciting air combat battlefield by herself to prevent the falling starship from smashing into the city and causing an extinction event.
But the other side is an entire fleet, and it is too slow for the heroes of the Justice League to deal with it.
Moreover, there is an upper limit to the damage that mirror dimension magic can sustain. Allowing these guys who come for revenge to fire crazily will cause things to quickly deteriorate to a level that is difficult to handle.
"Barbara, teach them a lesson."
Mason called the hacker master of Team K on the comms and instructed:
"The Senagan fleet has a large amount of N metal stored in it, which is an important manufacturing material. It would be a pity to destroy it in the war. Find them a berth and find a few salvage ships to provide them with humanitarian assistance."
"receive."
Batgirl, who was still helping out on the Exile spaceship at this time, borrowed the mechanical throne in the main control room of the spaceship. Under the hands-on instruction of Ms. Ultra, she quickly completed a classic cross-dimensional invasion.
After several data viruses written on the spot were quietly uploaded to the Senagan fleet navigation system, Batgirl began to take over this aggressive fleet.
"Maybe it's because I've been fighting wits with the Exile's main control system lately, which makes me feel that their firewall is too bad. It's like getting used to the crazy computer and then dealing with the easy difficulty. It's really not challenging at all.
Perhaps it’s time to remind these Senagang people to keep the good habit of daily upgrades.”
Barbara laughed, and under Mason's satisfied gaze, the Eagle-type battleship hanging high in the sky quickly turned around and carried out an emergency evacuation crash towards the Atlantic Ocean.
The Kings of the Seven Seas and the Warriors of Atlantis were already waiting there to begin receiving the prisoners.
"Thank you."
A hoarse voice came from behind Mason. The captain turned around and saw a classic-dressed old man jumping out of the Batplane, landing on the roof and gathering his cloak.
"When did you change back?"
Mason said in surprise:
"Yesterday I clearly saw you doing justice under the name of Gray Bat and flirting with Aunt Diana ."
"Last night."
The master sighed rarely and said softly:
"The Queen of Justice made some very... in short, terrible demands that I couldn't handle. Gray Bat happened to have completed his intelligence gathering here, so I just took the opportunity to exchange it back.
And their Gotham is so quiet that it makes me feel suffocated."
Although the master spoke very briefly, Mason could fully imagine the embarrassing scene at that time.
Given the Queen of Justice's strength and personality, it is a big challenge for the master to make such embarrassing requests. If he doesn't change back, he will probably be raped.
But to be honest, if the old man had weaker willpower, it would be quite interesting to see a story where Batman cheated on Batman.
But this is Batman, and he is unrivaled in terms of willpower.
"You certainly didn't come to meet me just to say thank you, did you?"
Mason smiled and said:
"Just ask if you want to ask anything. I will never hide anything from you given our deep cooperative relationship."
“That thing…”
The master was not polite. He pointed at the purple-red Eye of Time and Space in the sky, stared at Mason and said:
“That was completely different from the scale planned. The time wormhole that was originally used only for pressure relief was expanded into a space-time tunnel that allowed the fleet to pass through.
Today's chaos is all caused by it.
It is conceivable that this thing will definitely cause even greater and longer-lasting chaos before the impact arrives and after it ends.
So, Mason, tell me, did you do this on purpose or was it an accident?"
"It's probably both. If our side is in such a mess, then the situation in the many worlds under the Council's jurisdiction must be worse than ours.
That way, they won’t have time to cause us trouble later.”
Mason didn't hide it.
In response to the questioning of the person in front of him who was on his trust list, he took off the frames on his nose and smoothed his hair which had not been taken care of recently.
In the wind that still carried the hint of war, he answered:
"If I had kept the energy projection below 200% yesterday, everything would have gone according to plan, but I let it go at more than twice the planned value.
The appearance of Black Lightning was indeed an accident, but I suddenly realized something at that time, so I decided to modify the launch mode at the last minute."
He turned around and said to the master:
“I want to take this opportunity to break their monopoly!
Old A keeps saying that he wants to establish a system where everyone can communicate with each other to ensure that the outcome of this era will not lead to the cruelest zero-sum game.
This is a great idea.
Although what they did was completely contrary to this goal, it didn't mean his idea was wrong.
He wanted to communicate, but he monopolized the way planes communicated with each other.
I helped him realize his original wish.
Now in the doomsday, people no longer need to rely on the World Gate, Mother Box technology, or magic means to meet each other. As long as they have the courage to cross the time and space tunnel in the sky, they can know the thoughts and decisions of the other side.
This won't affect our work, but it will give others a chance to avoid mutual destruction.
communicate!
I realized.
This may be the best way to dismantle the Council of Hope.
We don't need to defeat them, and we can't defeat such a huge behemoth in a short period of time.
We just need to give the power of communication back to all those who are stumbling in the dark. Once the words are spoken, there will be no need to resort to knives and guns.”
"But you built 500% redundancy into the Speed Force Cannon during the design phase."
The master asked sharply:
"This proves that this extreme plan was already in your plan. You only showed us the conservative plan because you were afraid that we would not agree with your risk-taking.
Anyway, I think you were careless on purpose!"
"Okay, I admit it."
Mason grinned and winked at the master and said:
"Is this like how you normally plan? I'm doing pretty well, right?"
Faced with this inquiry, the master chose not to answer.
He glanced at the Senagan warships that were falling into the Atlantic Ocean in the sky. Those alien warriors with wings on their backs were fleeing from the out-of-control warships on a large scale, but the collective deployment of the Justice League would not give them the opportunity to scatter around the world and cause more chaos.
The watchtower's monitoring system has been upgraded again and is now accurate enough to track every target.
The current Justice League is much stronger than before.
The master withdrew his gaze and suddenly said to Mason:
"Did Selina tell you?"
"What?"
Mason blinked, and then he heard the master say in a gentle voice:
"She's pregnant..."
"Wow, congratulations. I was wondering why you came back so suddenly. It turns out you're not just afraid that you can't control yourself and cheat on your other self."
The captain smiled instantly.
But then he realized the purpose of the master's raising this topic. He stared at Batman in front of him and said:
"Are you really planning to retire?"
"Not now!"
The master said in a deep voice:
"That devil tattoo on her arm is something I have to deal with, but I do think about future arrangements, Mason, you ..."
"I refuse!"
The captain crossed his hands and made a gesture of dama. He said in a firm tone:
"I admire your career, but I have no interest in becoming Batman. You can look for a successor among your other apprentices. To be honest, I plan to retire after I finish this job.
In the future, I will just find a scenic place and open a small shop, a clinic, a blacksmith shop or something like that. That is the life I want. Although it may sound a bit self-boasting to say this, I am indeed a reluctant hero who is forced to this point.
But I have an immature idea about your heir.
How about having all the Robins fight each other?
The battle for the cape and all that sounds great."
