Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 57 Is this the so-called End Star Project? Why not change the name to Wandering with a Corpse?
When Mason arrived at the Utopia capital, there were only four hours and twenty-seven minutes left before the impact began, but after Mason used two powerful moves to wipe out the threats of aliens and sentinel robots, the large-scale evacuation of civilians had already begun.
As long as we wait for the transfer gate of the Star Society to arrive, this process will only take three hours at most.
The rescue operation went quite smoothly, but Mason couldn't be happy at all when he saw the scene before him.
Because it was very strange, no, strange is not enough to describe what he saw.
The captain, sitting on the Mobius chair, stared at the city in front of him. The mutant capital in his memory had changed a lot, but there didn't seem to be any signs of war here. At least those black buildings with the authoritarian style of the X royal family had not been destroyed or razed to the ground. The entire capital was shrouded in a very special beam of light.
It's like a layer of gauze covering your eyes, or like a super sandstorm when the PM2.5 index reaches several thousand, or the unique scenery of yellow sand all over the sky in the cyberpunk world.
Everything looks gray.
Mason stared at the strange scene in front of him, then looked back. It was clearly one world, but it seemed to be split into two by this light.
At this moment, he was standing on the edge of this unique halo spreading into the material world. He stretched out his hand to touch the road sign tilted in the wind and sand, but he touched nothing.
The thing is clearly right in front of me, but it seems to be in another space.
This made the captain blink his eyes, and he instructed the Mobius chair:
"This situation is definitely not normal. Scan the space structure ahead!"
"Hold on."
The mechanical chair emitted a faint blue light like a CT scan, and an optical projection screen popped up in front of Mason's eyes. After a large amount of incomprehensible data scrolled by, the Mobius chair came to its own conclusion.
It reported in a calm voice:
"The spatial distortion level in the area ahead has reached level 7 and is still rising! It has been determined that the area is being transferred from the material world to a special dimension.
Its spatial distortion spectrum is emitting, proving that the area is expanding. Based on its energy level, the entire Utopia capital area will be included in the distortion range in thirty minutes at most.
Energy levels peak after three hours.
By then, all areas covered by space distortion will be completely transferred to the target dimension. The estimated transfer area is 550,000 square kilometers, which means that matter equivalent to the combined area of two British Isles will disappear from this world.
However, the range of space transfer has not broken through the mantle layer, so it can be determined that the force causing the distortion does not intend to dismantle the planet, but the space conversion will take away part of the world's matter.
Therefore, this operation will also cause the Utopian planet to disintegrate. "
In order to better illustrate what is happening, the Möbius Chair also thoughtfully made a simple map of the planet, painting the areas that may be moved in red.
Now Mason can see it more intuitively.
He stroked his chin and said:
"This transfer area includes all the important facilities of the X royal family and their strategic material storage areas. If I remember correctly, it also includes three special spaces formed by the fusion of the worlds.
The stellar matter that was taken away is more than you calculated, which is equivalent to digging out and packing up the most essential area of utopia? The one who performed this high-end operation should be the God Doom himself, right?
Is this to bring some fresh nutrients to his famous 'Stitched World' fighting world?"
The captain complained like this.
He was just about to discuss with the Mobius Chair how to safely enter the high-energy space distortion zone in front of him, when suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, causing the captain to stand up from his chair.
He stared at the area of matter in front of him that was being transferred to a special dimension, and a light of understanding flashed in his narrowed eyes.
"'The End Star', this is the 'End Star'!"
Mason took out his notebook and flipped through it, and found the record of the first time he heard Old A talk about the "Last Survivor World" of the Council of Hope.
He looked at the area of matter being transferred in front of him, shook his head, and tore off the entire page.
"Create a new archive record! Order for the 'End Star' project video data, carefully analyze the effectiveness of this distortion zone and record the data.
This will become very important research material and...evidence!"
Mason sat back in the mechanical chair and said to the Mobius chair:
“This is the plan that the Council of Hope has been taking to fight against the change of the universe. We misunderstood before. The so-called last Earth in the old world does not mean selecting one from the existing world to become the final doomsday ark.
That's not the case!
They are planning to hand-roll a real 'End Star'.
Just like what is happening before our eyes, the most essential areas of each world are dug out from the stars, and then put back together into an Earth with the help of the cosmic power wielded by the God Doom.
Just like the way he had created an entire Doujie from scratch. An Earth created out of nothing, an Earth made by them, an Earth that could survive without the need for impact...
They didn't even think about fighting this disaster!
They also knew that there couldn't be a chosen world that could survive the bloody battle to the end, and these guys never put their hopes on the survival of the fittest from the beginning.
They deliberately let the impact go on to the end. Only then will this 'Doomsday Star', which continuously draws nutrients from the wreckage of other worlds and is born by devouring blood and bones, come as a savior.
Formed by the fusion of the best parts of other worlds, the most powerful new world is carefully designed to survive the change of eras in the ashes after destruction .
That's their plan.
A plan filled with selfishness, arrogance, and greed... huh?"
As the Captain was glimpsing more truth about the "End Star" in his mind, Hawkeye Precognition was suddenly activated, and a scene suddenly appeared in which he was attacked from behind and the Mobius Chair was captured by some device.
Mason jumped away from the mechanical chair.
Just as he saw, a black micro black hole appeared at this moment behind it, pulling the mechanical chair and making it unable to maintain the protection of the energy matrix.
The Iron Blood javelin used for sneak attacks flew past the captain's shoulder, and when the two were closest to each other, the phase lock installed on it popped open, releasing a huge War Queen alien that swallowed Mason in one gulp.
This nearly seven-meter-tall monster is covered with a thick black exoskeleton, has a gorgeous bone crown protecting its skull, walks upright, and has ferocious claws. It is quite cunning.
It seemed to know that Mason could control water, so it did not swallow the food in its mouth, but shook its head and threw the captain who was converting the water body backwards.
The mechanical flying cable swung from below interrupted Mason's lazy waist, and exploded upon contact, allowing the mist containing leech serum components to contaminate Mason's water body.
A series of combos went smoothly, and when Mason landed, he was once again in the predicament of having his X gene sealed.
However, for the master alchemist, the first time he was controlled by drugs he could say it was a sudden incident and he had an excuse, but if he was hurt by the same thing a second time it would only be a shame for him.
"puff"
The captain summoned the demonized Fenrir to block the War Queen alien that was charging at him, and while retreating he pulled out the syringe from his belt and stabbed it into his wrist.
The liquid is a genetic medicine developed for the leech sealant, which can break the control of the X gene from the outside and restore his ability.
However, it takes time for the drug to take effect, but the attacker obviously did not intend to give Mason time to react.
While the demonized Fenrir and the War Queen Alien collided in a monster battle, the Iron-Blooded Queen Gollum, who had been hiding and touched Mason, suddenly emerged from hiding, swung the melta blade in her hand, and knocked Mason's raised Ragnarok pistol away. Then she kicked Mason, who was temporarily unable to separate from the water body, to the ground with her legs.
The two made brief contact for a moment, and the captain's combat belt was precisely cut open and then grabbed by Queen Gollum and pulled off his pants.
Don't get me wrong, this is not hooliganism.
She had already concluded by accessing the Conqueror database and collecting combat data that this cunning little human was a deadly marksman at long range, but he was not good at close combat and was good at using all kinds of strange tools to defeat the enemy. Those tools were hidden in several of his bags.
Now Mason's combat belt and his bag have been removed, rolled up by Gollum and thrown into his combat backpack. At the same time, he kicked the Ragnarok pistol under his feet into the area of space distortion not far away.
Mason is disarmed!
He didn't even have time to put on the armor that could beat up his best friend. His other weapons were in his bag. Apart from the clothes on his body, he only had a wrinkled hat. The only magic power armor that could protect him from his sword had been entangled by his War Queen alien beast.
Ha, the prey is caught in the net.
The hunt begins now!
Queen Gollum, who was wearing heavy armor, let out a low laugh, and without saying anything, she rushed towards Mason with her melta blade in hand. She understood very well that even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit.
Therefore, I don't intend to waste any more time talking to give the latter time to turn the tables.
Looking at the Iron-Blooded Queen who pounced on him, although the latter was wearing heavy hunting armor, Mason immediately recognized that she was the one who rescued Madeline that day.
It turns out that it wasn’t our first meeting, but rather that we were enemies that met on a narrow road!
Very good, this way I don’t have to worry about anything .
Despite being injected with anti-leech disruptors, his mutant abilities would still take at least ten seconds to recover, which meant that he had fallen into a predicament carefully designed by this cunning hunter and had to hold on for at least ten seconds.
Now it seems that the only way left is to use fists to fight against the opponent's hot melt sword.
but……
What's so difficult about this?
"hat!"
Mason stood where he was, and when the murderous queen began to charge, he raised his hand and shouted without panic.
"I am here."
The old man responded, and a standard "Expelliarmus" was released through Mason's body, hitting the Iron Queen, causing the melta blade in her hand to jump out and penetrate the ground.
Along with the iron-blooded spear on her hunting armor, two cross-placed collector's edition Fak guns and several disc knives used for long-range killing fell to the ground.
The latter reacted extremely quickly. Instead of retreating, she moved forward and ejected the ferocious wrist knife, accelerating again. It was as fast as lightning. With her super strength and physique that could withstand extremely heavy punches, if this knife hit Mason, he would probably be cut into pieces on the spot.
but……
"Kevin!"
The captain shouted like a summoner.
Carrying a large gourd of mud on its back, the dramatic slime monster, who is known as "Mason's sword-bearing guard", jumped out.
It transformed into Harley's appearance, opened its arms in a fearless manner and stood in front of Mason, and turned its head to show Mason a loving expression.
Imitation degree 100%!
If it weren't for the big gourd behind it that betrayed it, Mason might have really believed it.
"puff"
As expected, the drama slime monster was chopped into pieces. Gollum's wrist knife can not only chop but also has energy impact. This time, Kevin was hit into mud spots flying all over the sky.
The Queen was only one step away from Mason. It seemed that she could kill her target by just raising her wrist knife, but at this moment she retreated instead of advancing.
With the help of the armor thrusters, he distanced himself from Mason like a flash, dodging the missed attack of Shenfeng Wuying and also making Kevin's slime sneak attack miss.
The hat on Mason's head has turned back into the gray wizard hat it used to be when it was the Sorting Hat. Now, with the help of Mason as a carrier, he uses all kinds of magic that he has learned from various places to perform.
The green Avada was munching on a big melon and was thrown out by the captain like a six-meridian divine sword, and his right hand was clenched into a coquettish orchid finger to create a deep red band of Cytorak.
The crimson magic energy shot out and formed chains to bind the dodging Queen Gollum.
But this Iron-Blooded Queen was truly amazing. She kept jumping at high speed and moving in a ghostly phase, and she managed to accurately avoid the restraints of every energy lock.
She also ejected a self-stabilizing omnidirectional hunting particle cannon from her shoulder armor and fired at Mason repeatedly while moving at high speed, but Kevin used the mud in his mud gourd to create one person he knew after another to block the particle beam bombardment for Mason.
The Crimson Chain is still continuing. This high-level magic consumes a lot of magic power. Even though the magic power that the hat can store has increased several times after several repairs, it still cannot withstand this.
"3 seconds! Change tactics, hat, be patient."
Seeing that he couldn't defeat his enemy, Mason simply crossed his hands and communicated with his hat to make a big move.
The mirror dimension spread rapidly from his feet, but without spreading too far, it bound the Iron-Blooded Queen Gollum inside and then closed up .
This magic completely drained the hat's magic power, weakening its breath. The Iron-Blooded Queen, who had been flashing back and forth, also laughed at Mason for locking him and herself in such a "cage".
Although he had no way to retreat, it also meant that Mason had nowhere to escape.
In the current situation, she is sure to win.
"Gulu! (I accept your skull!)"
The particle cannon that popped out of the shoulder armor kept firing, suppressing Kevin and preventing him from getting close. The Queen took two steps forward and flexibly dodged the last pursuit of the Cytorak's crimson chain, then stepped forward and pressed Mason's shoulders with such force that he knelt on one knee.
Then, with the wrist knife vibrating at high speed, he stabbed the captain's neck with a clean and sharp blow.
The hunt is complete!
Blood gushed out of Mason's wound, and his face was filled with pain as he was forced to look up. Perhaps the Queen only needed to apply force with her fingers, and his spine would be pulled off along with his head.
"boom"
Green energy burst out from behind, and a devastating beam of light engulfed the Queen and the Captain-General at that moment.
Kevin, who fired the shot, grinned in the full mimicry of the Iron Queen, and threw the collector's edition Falcon gun belonging to Queen Gollum in his hand. It was caught by Mason who reappeared in the splashing water.
The captain rolled on the ground and stood up.
He looked at the iron-blooded female Huang who was climbing up from the ground in front of him. The latter's armor was ridiculously strong. Even after taking a powerful hit from the Fak Gun head-on, the armor was only slightly melted.
But when he saw that Mason had recovered his mutant powers, Gollum's heart sank.
Looking at the mirror dimension that was constantly moving around her, she realized that her hunt this time would probably be in vain, but it was certainly impossible for her to retreat like this!
The Queen is not only a hunter, but also a warrior!
If a sneak attack fails, then use a strong attack. Anyway, this guy in front of me will never be able to hit me with his weak bullets!
She activated the heavy armor thrusters and swung her wrist knife to kill Mason, while releasing a second War Queen alien pet to cover and charge with her, showing the demeanor of a survival hunter who is not afraid of close combat.
Mason fired two shots in a row but was hit hard by Gollum's alien war pet. The heavy helmet on the latter was obviously carefully crafted, and its energy absorption efficiency was almost as efficient as that of the top Isu armor.
But just as the Queen successfully killed Mason and entered the close combat circle, the captain suddenly revealed a cunning smile as if to say "I've finally waited for this".
By now his information has probably been thoroughly read by the people in the board of directors. He has already been labeled as "not good at close combat", so it is impossible for him not to be targeted in this aspect.
But what if this was a deliberate trap?
As he was trembling, four "Melee Masons" jumped out holding weapons made of ice. One blocked the Queen's slash, one stabbed her from behind, and the remaining two held Gollum's arms on the left and right.
We don't seek to defeat the enemy, we only seek to entangle them.
"Now that you've seen my secret, don't even think about leaving."
Mason said something in a low voice, stretched out his hand to grab the hot melt blade thrown by Kevin, raised his hands and slashed forward.
Just the way he holds the knife and chops doesn't look like a powerless long-range shooter at all.
After all, the water clones' skill practice will be fed back to the main body, so please enjoy this Lv7 melee headshot!
