Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 75 We don’t want to live in disgrace, we choose to be brave
Unicron left as swiftly as he had appeared.
Perhaps it was because Batmos and the Metal Spirit were unable to control this planet-sized super-machine very well. They did not dare to let the body of the Star Emperor, who had just undergone a "brain removal", stay here to avoid causing uncontrollable extreme consequences.
Without even having the chance to say goodbye , the horrible metal creature disappeared in the flash of pixel light.
This thing was sent back to the depths of the starry sky from which it came.
Such an operation was difficult to do in the past, especially since the core spark of the main processor was taken away, causing the Star Emperor's body to lose most of its functionality. It was like a vegetative person and it was difficult to respond effectively to new instructions.
But now is the moment of impact, the gap between the two planes has been broken, and the Eye of Time and Space created by Mason is playing tricks, which means that Bartomos only needs to issue a movement command, and the rest can be handled by the squeezing of the planes.
The most amazing thing is that when the Star Emperor's body was teleported, it helped the Isu world withstand the collision force of the two planes, so that the force that could easily crush the earth was exerted on the indestructible Unicron.
This did not cause any trouble to the God of Destruction who was undergoing recovery from the "head transplant surgery", but it helped the Isu world survive the most dangerous moment.
"The magnetic field confinement has been restarted, and the runaway gravity is recovering. The loss of some mass has changed the gravity of the planet, but it's not a big problem.
It’s a pity that the ecosystem was destroyed and we have to find a way to restart it later.”
In the ruins of the world's surface that had been completely flattened, Mason looked at the surrounding situation and made his own judgment.
Then he looked up at the remnants of the world in the sea of stars ahead. The latter was the last trace of a planet that had two-thirds of it eaten by Unicron, and now it was being pulled towards the equally incomplete Isu world by Magneto with the help of a magnetic field generator.
During the time that passed, although the Isu world avoided the fate of being decomposed and eaten by Unicron, the loss of stellar matter that was captured and swallowed was also quite serious.
From the perspective of the starry sky, the Isu world at this time is like a squeezed and broken orange. Although the Cybertronians summoned by Patmos tried their best to block the crack in the world at the last moment, a lot of stellar matter is still escaping.
Just like the delicious fruit juice constantly overflowing into the sea of stars, this scene is also like a person who is losing blood but cannot heal his wounds and can only wait to die.
But this situation can be improved, just like using two planetary entities with parts missing from each to combine together can form a complete new world.
As long as the remains of the world in front of us are sealed with magnetic fields on the cracks in the Isu world, and then the continental shelf is reshaped through various methods, this kind of stellar-level injury can be repaired.
Of course, the restoration of the planet was just the beginning. Unicron's actions almost completely destroyed the ecological environment of the Isu world.
It cannot be said that the planet has returned to barrenness, but it will certainly not be easy to regain its original quality of life.
"The force of the plane collision is weakening. For the Isu world, the most difficult part of this impact is over."
The bald frog next to Mason was using a special device to detect the vibration of the plane. He looked up and said to Mason:
"Because of the disappearance of Unicron, the breach in another plane is rapidly closing. The conditions for continuing to attempt plane fusion no longer exist here.
Unfortunately, the attempt to sample the planet failed.
But it’s not your fault.”
"Failure? How can it be a failure?"
Mason did not feel too much regret or disappointment. He looked back at the desolate mess behind him, then reached out and took the unique main processor from Barbara.
While playing with it in his hands and admiring it, he said to the frog picture:
"We were able to save a world and the life within it under the impact, and we also repelled life at the level of Unicron. We did not resort to destruction to save either side, which in itself is a victory.
All I can say is that it has not been 100% successful.
As for the plane fusion plan, aren't there three other sets of samples? It's impossible that the other three worlds will encounter a jerk of Unicron's level, right? "
"You are optimistic."
Watu shook his head and recorded the final outcome of the incident in his observer log, while Mason looked at the main processor in his hand among the people who were resting on the spot.
The fact that the information tag of this thing has been delayed for a long time fully represents its grade and incredible power.
Just when Mason was about to spend a few minutes studying and calming down, accompanied by the hum of the engine, the reserve Ghost Rider Harley came back to the crowd on a burning motorcycle carrying Cassandra, who had just returned from the center of the earth.
Harley wanted to jump up and give her little sweetheart a sweet hug, but Sister Ka was faster than her. She almost flashed to Mason's side and grabbed his collar.
The eyes of the God-killing Hero were full of bloodshot. She said:
"I just heard you guys were discussing ending this attempt at impact in my world? Why not continue! Aren't the two planes merged yet?"
"Because of Unicron's accidental involvement, there was no complete Earth colliding with the Isu world, so the fusion of the worlds can continue.
But as you can see, the breach in the other dimension is already closing.”
Frog pointed at the wreckage of the world in the starry sky that was being pulled closer to the Isu star, and said to Sister Ka:
"This was not a normal impact. Unicron almost destroyed your world, but it somehow helped you to withstand the force of the two planes squeezing each other.
This is what allowed you to survive.
But it also makes the crack in the other plane far less huge than the crack that would be caused by a normal impact, so even if Mason chooses to continue trying, the probability of the two planes eventually merging together is not high. "
"But it's not zero, right?"
Sister Ka gritted her teeth and said:
"Then continue! Look at our world, Mason, how much have we paid for this experiment under impact?
Half of the world's surface has been flattened, the planet's atmospheric system has been completely reshaped, and the ecological environment has suffered a devastating blow. We cannot accept such a result.
Just push your damn experiment through here!
If we don't take this opportunity to fully verify your theory, even if we survive this impact, we will be completely destroyed in the next disaster. Living in disgrace has never been an option for the Isu and humans."
"But you are safe now."
Captain Carter, who was standing next to her, held the excited sister Ka's hands and whispered:
"For you, this impact has ended. If it continues, it means that the two planes that have begun to separate will collide again.
This is an unnecessary risk for you.
The other three groups of worlds are all promoting fusion, and with their samples, we can get a true conclusion on whether the theory will succeed. If our attempt ultimately fails, then at least you can survive.
From a rational point of view, this is…”
"To hell with your rationality! Rationality cannot fight against doomsday, only methods can!"
Sister Ka yelled, interrupting Captain Carter's dissuasion. She let go of Mason's collar and said loudly:
"I want you to continue your attempt here. Do you hear me, the new leader of the Isu? If you are right, it means that the Isu world will enjoy a long and stable peace from today on.
If you are wrong, then we are unwilling to sit back and watch other allies perish while we survive alone until the next nightmare begins.
The shocks are happening more and more frequently, and we may not even have a month to prepare for the next one. Look at the state of the world, Mason!
Do you think that given the devastation we are facing right now, even if we are given another month, we can still survive the next one? I am not betting my world and my people, but we have to do this!
What we want is not a short-lived fantasy that only lasts for a day or a night!
You and I, as descendants of the Isu and defenders of this world, we are not cowards who will be scared off by death, and neither is this world.
You have to be right!
Your theory must be tested! The two planes must merge, to prove to my people that we have found a way to the next era.
I must give them confidence! Only in this way can they survive the difficult time during the long process of rebuilding the world."
Mason was silent for ten seconds after hearing Sister Ka's roar. He then raised his head and said to Cassandra, whose eyes were bloodshot:
"What if I'm wrong? That means you'll lose the chance to escape that you worked so hard to get."
"Then let's all die together, so we won't be alone on the road to the underworld."
Sister Ka waved her hand generously, she stood up straight and looked at the cold starry sky in front of her, she said:
"At least we were not afraid or frightened on the road to death. We faced this challenge of either victory or death with our heads held high.
We must try our best so that we don't have to regret it even if we don't get the results we want.
We choose to be brave.
We must also be brave.
Go ahead, Mason, I have faith in you. Although you have repeatedly explained your theory in these meetings and I don't understand it at all, my instinct tells me that you are right.
You are smarter than the Isu.
They think you are qualified to be their leader, so you can definitely do what they can’t do.”
This Spartan-style answer made Mason grin. He turned around and looked at the people behind him and said:
"Sister Ka decided to put the world she just won back on the gambling table again. I admire her courage. What do you think?"
"Why are you asking us this?"
Ertong sat pitifully, bandaging the wound on his neck. He had lost almost all his weapons and only had a few knives left. He rolled his eyes and said:
"Just make up your own mind. You really think highly of me by letting me express my opinion on this matter. I don't have the courage to use the survival of the world to verify a hypothesis."
"So you're just throwing this pressure on me? You bastard."
Mason cursed and looked at the others. Everyone had different expressions. Finally, it was Superman from the Gotham world who spoke up:
"Cassandra is right. We may still have time, but today is actually our last chance.
If the path we choose cannot be verified today, then our respective worlds will continue to suffer in decline until the doomsday arrives, which will truly destroy everything.
If we want to completely reverse this dark era, we must come up with a feasible solution.
Since everyone has chosen to trust Mason before, then just trust him to the end. It may seem reckless and stupid to put your future in the hands of others, but if that person is your trusted friend or brother, then what is there to hesitate about?
I agree! "
“I agree!”
Others raised their hands one after another, even Perfect Ultron, who was sitting aside regulating the energy of the Infinity Gems, raised his hand, but Black Strange still looked as if it had nothing to do with him.
But at least he didn't object.
Mason looked around, then turned back to look at Sister Ka and said:
"If it turns out that I'm wrong, I'll apologize to you when we all go to hell hand in hand."
"Stop it! Stop talking nonsense!"
Sister Ka pushed Mason and pointed at the wreckage of the world in the distance and said:
"Hurry and get to work."
"Okay, okay."
The captain shrugged and said to Barbara beside him:
"Airdrop another Isu Aurora device to that world fragment and keep it turned on, ready to receive the fusion frequency of the cosmic tuning fork.
After other worlds have also entered the second stage of fusion, the cosmic tuning fork will be activated, and then everyone will walk hand in hand into the unknown. "
"We've tried our best, sweetheart."
Harley hugged Mason's waist from behind, rubbing her head against his back and said:
"You have already done the most within your control . Since we cannot control what happens next, just let go and enjoy it.
No matter where you go, you will never be alone. I will always be by your side. Even if everyone goes to hell, I will be fried in the frying pan next to you into a delicious Harry kebab. "
"I get touched every time you say these weird and scary things."
Mason turned around and hugged Harley, tapped her forehead with his chin, and said:
"But please, little cutie, don't use such scary metaphors next time, okay?"
The big bald frog had quietly left the crowd at some point.
He disappeared on the surface of the Isu world in a flash, and when he reappeared, he had arrived in a starry sky not far from where Unicron had just disappeared.
He looked at his compatriot in front of him, who was hiding here and observing the impact with some kind of observation equipment. The latter also had a big, smooth head like Watu.
The two people's faces are very different, but the temperament that belongs only to the observer cannot be faked.
"See, my fellow countrymen?"
Frog pointed at the devastated Isu world below, which had just climbed out of the brink of destruction and decided to join the next adventure, and said to the observer in front of him:
"That's why I help them, even when faced with the impossible, we have to choose to be brave."
The other observer seemed not to have heard what Watu said at all. He remained silent and continued to observe. Watu did not care. He was familiar with the behavior of his compatriots and therefore never imagined that his people would intervene in the situation at this time.
They only know how to observe, they have been observing all the time, taking it as their own responsibility and giving up all power and possibility to intervene, becoming spectators outside of everything.
No matter new life, no matter destruction, no matter miracles, no matter disasters.
"I was deeply distressed by my exile..."
Watu touched the exile mark on his forehead, looked at his compatriots, and finally waved his hand with a relieved smile and said:
"But not now, my heart beats with the stars, and I am honored to be part of the evolution of all things. I am no longer a stone.
No one deserves to be a rock.”
After saying that, the bald man flashed back to Mason's side and said to the general who was taking a breath and resting:
"Go back to Osborne Tower and wait for your time to come. We will stay here to witness the arrival of the day of truth, or usher in the peaceful silence at dusk."
…
"I warned you that this place is the territory of the Nine Realms, you are not allowed to approach!"
In the starry sea at the edge of the Nine Realms, Asgard's fleet has been lined up here, with the light of the divine realm flickering and illuminating the flying flags.
Riding on his majestic eight-legged warhorse, the fully armed Odin stood in front of the battle formation, holding the Spear of Judgment. On his left was his filial eldest daughter, Hela, the goddess of death, and on his right was Laufey, the king of the Frost Giants.
And in front of him, a fleet with complex composition was surging towards him. The warships of the Kree Empire, the Shi'ar Empire, the Nova Corps and even the Space Locust Chitauri were mixed in it, forming an imposing star-destroying fleet.
"Get out of the way! Odin."
The leading flagship was flying in the sky, projecting the image of the supreme wisdom of the leader of the Kree Empire, who shouted:
“The people on Earth are conducting experiments on plane fusion!
My alien in a parallel dimension has told me the danger of this experiment. Once they merge their own earth with another earth, it will cause a collision between the two planes.
This will cause the starry sea we are familiar with to collapse in an instant, and everything that you and I protect and own will perish.
I can't allow this to happen.
The people of Earth do not have the power to put the survival of the starry sea in their hands."
"You who pretend nothing happened and regard everything as the will of the universe, have no power to stop those who are unwilling to go along with the darkness from dying and living."
The King of the Gods waved the spear in his hand and said coldly:
"Final warning, don't come near! Otherwise, it will be regarded as you are about to declare war on the Divine Realm!"
"You're crazy!"
The Supreme Wisdom rebuked:
"Your divine domain will be razed to the ground by us! Is it really worth it? Just for a risk that will take the entire plane with you if you fail?
How much did they give you to be a hero here?"
“They gave me nothing, and yet they gave me everything.”
Odin laughed loudly, waving his spear majestically to summon golden thunder in the sea of stars, and shouted:
"Should I bury myself in the good old days with endless fear in an aging universe? Or should I fight hard with a group of young light chasers to see the scenery beyond the darkness?
What do you think I, an old man from Asgard who has been pursuing courage all my life, will choose?
idiot!
I said, the Nine Realms are here! They cannot be shaken!"
