Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 66 I will beat anyone who says doing good things is useless
As soon as the Fourth Impact began, the Rebel Alliance ran into trouble.
Although the mutual assistance between Osborne Tower and the SHIELD world, the Lord world and the Vampire world has reduced Mason's worries a lot, the situation in the other two worlds does not seem to be satisfactory at present.
If Mason was not mistaken, the people they encountered in the Isu world should be the Cybertronians, a group of serious powerful mechanical life forms .
That is a problem that must be dealt with seriously, but now Mason has to go to Gotham to meet another group of mysterious guys before going to the battlefield to "tear apart the Gundam with his bare hands."
According to the master, the target of the attack on the Gotham world this time was a garden world under the Council of Hope.
This kind of thing was quite common before, but in the Council's structure, the Garden World's defense is notoriously high. Not only does it have black technology such as the World Shield, but it also has a elite sequence of conquerors specifically used for security patrols.
Any world that threatens the survival of the Garden World when the impact occurs will be destroyed in a clean and efficient manner by this conqueror.
Then some smart people will definitely ask, what if it is a collision of two garden worlds?
Of course, we would first assess the value, transfer the low-value party, and then destroy it cleanly and efficiently.
However, the chances of this happening are not high, because the Garden World of choice is generally not Earth, and it is not difficult to find a planet suitable for colonization among the many planes of the stars managed by the Council.
In short, when Mason came for the appointment, he had already guessed the true identity of the guy he was about to meet. And when Catwoman, dressed as a secretary, pushed open the door of the top-floor office of the Next Life Bar, the three sets of Thor's Hammer Type VI Spartan power armor that came into view confirmed the captain's guess.
It’s them!
The tenth sequence of conquerors, messengers of the "Halo" fleet, the protector of the Garden World, a group of Spartan cyborgs, or a simpler and more understandable title.
A bunch of sergeants!
Of course, there are also some interstellar creatures who call them "devils". Emmmm, just from this name that carries insults, fear and awe at the same time, you can tell how strong the martial virtues of these guys are.
The old man and Dachao were standing in the office at this time. The other members of the Justice League had been sent to support the invasion of the Isu world. They stayed here to ensure that the conversation about "peace" could go smoothly.
"Our allied worlds are being invaded, fellow Spartans."
Mason was not polite. He walked into the office and said directly:
"I don't have that much time to talk about some official words with you. I know that it is your duty to defend the Garden World. I also know that there are at least three assault starships hovering over our world, and at least a whole group of Hell Paratroopers waiting to drop from orbit.
But since you have sent a messenger, it means there is still room for discussion.
State your terms and don’t waste either party’s time.”
The three sergeants who came as messengers looked at each other. The special shape of their Mjolnir armor and the smooth visor on the helmets that were often ridiculed as toilet helmets reflected the figures of the people in front of them.
After a brief exchange, the leading female Spartan Space Marine spoke:
"We have submitted a large-scale transfer application to our superiors and have received approval. The pioneers of the Star Society have delivered the first batch of transfer gates. We also have large-scale transfer equipment on our flagship. Therefore, after three to four hours of transfer, we will hand over this garden world that is experiencing an impact so that you can complete your fusion adventure.
We are not here to start a war.
But we hope that during the great shift in this world, your superheroes will not land at will to interfere with our operations.
In addition, you can also remove the aiming of the several strange-looking star destroyers you have deployed on this planet. After all, such a confrontation can easily lead to a dangerous situation of accidental firing."
"Um?"
Mason's expression changed.
He had already prepared for the threat of force, but he did not expect the other party to surrender on their own initiative. However, he did not think that it was the force of the Gotham world that intimidated these interstellar tough guys and girls who dared to charge the fleet alone.
The courage of the Master Chiefs has always been as bright as the sun. For those who dare to charge into the Star Ring alone, being a mere superhero is nothing to worry about. Therefore, it can be confirmed that this is not a choice made out of fear.
The captain hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Can I ask why? In my impression, fleeing without a fight is never an option for Spartan warriors. Although it is just a project code name for you, you interstellar warriors do have some characteristics of ancient Spartans.
This may be a result of gene editing.”
"Reasons are certainly allowed to be answered, especially now that we have confirmed your identity, Mason Cooper."
The leading Spartan female interstellar warrior replied in a calm tone:
"Ten days ago, an unexpected space-time invasion occurred in the Garden World codenamed Y-57. A demon army from a certain dimension attacked one of our patrol fleets.
The situation was extremely critical, our fleet and the three protected garden worlds were in danger of destruction, but before the reinforcements arrived, a mysterious man drove a strange power armor into the battlefield.
He defeated the Eldritch through decapitation and data raids, and rescued over two hundred Space Marine recruits and saved one of our flagships.
Because of his activeness, the safety of more than 9 billion people in the three garden worlds is guaranteed.
That mysterious helper who wishes to remain anonymous is you, right, Mr. Mason?
These words made the eyes of Master and Superman become subtle, while Catwoman next to them smiled with satisfaction. This was the little brother Mason in her understanding, the kind of young boy who did good deeds without leaving a name.
It turns out that good things always pay off.
"Yes, it's me."
Mason did not hide anything. He stared at the three sergeants in front of him and said:
"I didn't expect that my casual action would result in this beautiful flower of peace today, but this is not the main reason, right? You are soldiers, and you don't talk about morality on the battlefield. "
"Yes, this is not the main reason why we choose to avoid war."
The sergeant said bluntly:
"If you understand the differences between the Conqueror Sequences, you should know that we at the Tenth Sequence are completely different from the other Conquerors. We never participate in any foreign wars of the Council. We are only responsible for protecting innocent civilians who have lost their homes due to the impact.
But it is not our intention to submit to the Council.
I'll just say it straight.
We accepted the number of the Tenth Sequence because we have not found any other forces that have such a large-scale protection before. The Council has a dark side, but they do protect hundreds of billions of lives.
This is our voluntary choice.
But it does not mean that we have given up the possibility of finding a better solution. In this regard, we have great autonomy.
With the reminder of some well-informed colleagues, we learned about the project that Team K was promoting, so the second reason for this peace was that we wanted to see the results.
A different path than the Council's choice!
If this path is feasible, it means that we Spartans who have lost our way will have a chance to start over."
"etc!"
Mason reached out and interrupted the description of the older sister in front of him. He grasped a certain point in her words and said:
"Trek? You're not locals here? Are you from 'outside' too?"
"What do you think, Mason?"
The sister in front of him, whose personality was too "active" and didn't fit in with the other silent Spartan Space Marines, laughed and said:
"You seem to know us well, and you even accurately told us our names and the nicknames of the power armor we wear. I don't know where you got this information, but since you know us, you should know what level of enemies the Spartan Space Marines faced before. Do you really think that a civilization like ours can be born in a universe that is on the verge of collapse?
This was indeed an accident caused by navigation.
After the war between the Covenant and Earth eased and the crisis of the Flood came, I decided to start an unplanned research, and I detected a distortion signal in our universe.
But when my guards and I got close to there, a force threw us into this doomsday universe.
That was more than ten years ago.
I know what you're asking, Mason.
We have never given up trying to get home, but after studying the Council's extremely stupid "Final Star" plan again and again, I am sure that their plan is almost impossible to succeed."
The Spartan female warrior paused, and finally, under Mason's gaze, she grasped the edge of her helmet and pushed it gently, revealing the face of an old lady with short hair who was in her fifties but in a very good condition.
She had obviously undergone genetic editing and modification, so that the years had not left many traces on her body, except for the light in her eyes which was very sharp and cold.
It can even hurt others.
"It's you."
Mason recognized her.
He extended his hand to the leader disguised as a messenger and said respectfully:
"Welcome to Gotham, Dr. Halsey."
“You do know!”
Dr. Halsey looked Mason in the eye. She took Mason's hand and as she drew closer she whispered:
"You're from outside, too? I've never revealed my identity in this universe."
Mason did not answer the question, but changed the subject:
"So, you decided to help us complete this fusion attempt to determine whether we can enter the next cosmic era with a new attitude?"
"right."
Seeing that Mason was unwilling to answer, the doctor did not ask any more questions.
She held her Spartan Sergeant's helmet and said to Mason seriously:
“Only when this dying universe passes through its decay period and is reborn, the dimensional blockade leading to the outside world will be reopened. Only then can I take my children away from here and return to my home.
The war there needs me and my children.
Although there are no devastating disasters like impact events, the things left behind by the pioneer civilization are no worse than the troubles you encounter.
We want to go home!
The Council can't help us and doesn't want to help us, so now hope rests on you, little one.
In addition, another personal reason for facilitating this peace talk is that you may not have known it when you suddenly came out to help that day, but I was on vacation in the world invaded by the alien demons from Apocalypse.
If it weren't for you, I, an old woman, would have been buried there."
"You are joking. How could a mere demon defeat your wisdom? A super researcher who can chat and laugh with the pioneer civilization is my idol."
Mason nodded, and after some business exchanging, he said to Dr. Halsey in front of him:
“But time is running out. Even if the Speed Force Matrix remains in effect, we cannot wait for four hours for your transfer to complete before starting the world fusion.
Now that we have spoken, I now request the assistance of the Halo Fleet in placing the World Magnetic Field Generator into the center of Garden World and in beginning construction of the signal tower for the Isu Aurora Device.
Both tasks must be completed within four hours! We have ready-made building blocks..."
"Okay, leave it to us. Actually, some of the black technologies in your special universe are quite interesting. I know you are also a great craftsman, so let's exchange ideas about hard drives when you have time, Mason."
Dr. Halsey did not refute. She smiled, put her helmet back on, and returned to her two guards, indicating the end of the conversation.
Mason nodded to the old man and Dachao, indicating that a temporary alliance had been reached.
But he really didn't have much time to make friends here. The situation in the Isu world was too critical and he had to rush there immediately. However, before Mason left, he asked Dr. Halsey one last question.
"You just said that the news about Team K was told to you by a well-informed colleague? Can I know his or her identity?"
"I can't tell you yet."
The doctor waved his hand and said:
"But he has full confidence in you, and he is also waiting for the answer you are about to submit. However, little Mason, I hope there are some very strange things in the Council...
I can't describe it.
But from my several contacts with them, I can feel that the radicalization of this organization may be the result of guidance, especially their enthusiasm, stubbornness and admiration for the extremely stupid "Final Star" project, which seems quite strange no matter how you look at it.
This is a point worth digging deeper into.
But for a group of people who are traveling in a universe that does not belong to us and whose goal is to go home, and who do not want to leave too many traces, this is not a secret we should explore."
"I understand."
Mason nodded and said:
" But let's wait until we get through this shock first. I will definitely visit your hometown if I have the chance in the future. As a craftsman, I am really interested in the astonishing cosmic wonders and various magnificent knowledge left by the pioneer civilization."
…
In the reflection of the sky of the Isu world, on the broken and withered land of another world, the Kryptonian team that has rushed over is sending the earth's magnetic field generator into the center of this mechanical world.
This job is very difficult.
Not only is there all sorts of weird looking mechanical entities surrounding them that are projecting massive firepower at them, but the world itself is just weird.
It is not the real Earth, or rather, it probably has not looked like the Earth for a long time.
Most of this world has been transformed. The soil and rocks have been replaced with stronger steel. Except for the mantle layer that is still retained to maintain heat, the entire planet has begun to change from the main part.
This makes it look like an ugly steel fortress, although it still maintains the appearance of the earth.
"The magic we carry cannot open the way to the center of the earth, Zedd!"
Kara, wearing vibranium armor, smashed a robot that had transformed into a steamroller with one punch, turned around and shouted to the team members behind her who were using heat rays to dismantle the flying robot:
"We must launch a more direct offensive to shatter the surface of this iron star."
"Call for Star Destroyer support!"
Zod crossed his arms to block the bombardment in front of him. He and Kara protected Bizarro, who was carrying a huge mechanical box on his back.
That is the main body of the magnetic field generator.
"Assassin Brotherhood! This is the Kryptonian Assault Team. We are currently carrying out the installation of a magnetic field generator on the surface of an enemy world. We need you to activate your assigned BFG10000 and use low-level power to blast a tunnel to the center of the Earth towards our location."
Kara immediately contacted the headquarters of the Isu world that was being invaded by mechanical life, and they responded quickly:
"Will this work? Isn't it said that this thing can blow up a planet once it fires?"
"It would definitely not work in other worlds, but the world under our feet has been transformed into a metal star. It can withstand the minimum output, but it must not exceed the warning line."
Kara replied, and then she saw a giant, ferocious robot that looked like a monster falling from the sky, flapping its mechanical wings and spewing fire towards her.
On the surface of the Isu world, in the area where the BFG10000 star destroyer was installed, the operators of the Assassin Brotherhood who received the order were about to lock onto the target when they heard violent gunfire mixed with the screams of an elder.
This scene made everyone silent.
Until 30 seconds later, the assassin saint John Wick, his body covered in blood, walked out of the control room clutching a broken pencil.
Under the gaze of others, he came to the control panel of the huge star destroyer cannon and pulled the power mode joystick from "annihilation" back to "penetration" with his bloody hands.
He glanced at the operators around him, replaced a new magazine in front of them, and said:
"The elder was old and confused so he delivered the wrong order, but this small mistake has been corrected."
"The world fusion continues, everyone, let's get to work!"
