Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 90: The routine of falling before dawn has never been popular
Fox Nest is a multi-functional stellar research facility. These smart brains have done their best to transform it into a planetary fortress that can handle a variety of different tasks.
When the Miranda broke through the firepower network inside the Fox Nest and rushed into the star port, it could be clearly seen that the area below the Fox Nest had been transformed into huge spaces, some of which still had forests or desert terrains inside. There were several huge, stopped mechanical arms sticking out of the star spacecraft alone, and there were also several unfinished star exploration ships in the star port.
As for the Earth that accompanies this moon ... well, its situation is pretty bad.
Probably because Fox Nest's various studies often need to use the Earth as a test sample, the Earth in front of us has not only been dismantled by a quarter in the southern hemisphere, but we can even see the exposed core and the surrounding radial continental shelf debris. The northern hemisphere is even covered by some kind of constantly blowing energy storm, forming a global sandstorm.
The crazy scientists must have made some modifications to it, so that it has not disintegrated and remains intact under such circumstances. The structure similar to the planetary shield is releasing pulse energy intermittently.
But the shield is failing due to lack of maintenance.
Such a world would certainly be uninhabitable, but it would be pretty cool as an experimental site.
When Mason walked out of the cabin, he saw his own Superman fighting with another guy wrapped in sunlight in space, and then both of them fell towards the earth which was serving as a testing ground.
There they will decide the champion of this "Kryptonian Tournament".
"That's Injustice Superman, right?"
Mason pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and whispered:
"This council is really capable. They actually found such a guy whose style of doing things is perfectly in line with theirs to become the conqueror. Is this the legendary birds of a feather flock together?"
"You know that guy?"
Damian asked curiously:
"What kind of superman is that? Who is more powerful, him or the Overlord?"
"Of course the lord is super powerful."
Mason summoned the demonized Fenrir as a vanguard to charge forward and fight the robot guards sent by Skynet who took over the defense of the Fox Nest. On the way into the main body of the Fox Nest, he explained to Damian:
"Lord Chao is the strongest individual among all the 'job transfer routes' of Kryptonians under normal circumstances. He gave up the oath of protection and devoted himself to absolute order. This basically gave him the strongest combat power that an idealist superman could achieve.
His ultimate form may be Golden Superman...
But if it is an abnormal battle, our Dachao is the most powerful!
Although his strength fluctuates greatly, this also makes him an absolutely idealistic and super-strong "nervous knife" talent.
Theoretically speaking, as long as our Superman has enough burning will and faith, he can destroy the existing parallel world system with one punch and achieve a rare achievement of world destruction.
So I think our Dachao can be transformed into the most powerful Silver Superman in the future."
"What about this Unrighteous Chao?"
Damian blinked and recorded the information in his notebook. He asked:
“From the conversation between Lord Chao and Da Chao, we can tell that this guy is crazy. He has also abandoned the oath of protection, but has not embraced order.
He embraced chaos?"
"No, no matter how crazy Superman is, he will never become a chaotic character like the Joker. It can only be said that Injustice Superman is stuck in the rut of violence and cannot extricate himself.
His story is actually quite tragic.
But compared to Big Super and Lord Super, his image is much thinner, especially after he transformed Batman into a world monitor, he has become a thug with no meaning of existence and no clear goal. "
Mason shook his head and said:
"He gave up all his principles in exchange for the destructive power of every attack. He seems to be more powerful than Dachao and Lord Chao, but in fact his upper limit is not as good as Dachao, and his absolute strength is not as good as Lord Chao. The only thing worth praising is his will to fight and his more unscrupulous tactics.
The ultimate form of this career path should be Superman or with a small chance of becoming Superboy Supreme, but the possibility of changing jobs is too small. With his current crazy look, there is a high probability that he will mistakenly evolve into a Destroyer in the future.
This account is considered useless, you know?
If you want to determine the future career path for your good friend Xiao Qiao now, don't let him change his job in this direction.
This is a sewer job in the Kryptonian combat system, and you will never be able to turn things around in your lifetime."
"Tsk, this isn't for him."
The little madman curled his lips and said:
"Xiao Qiao has his own ideas. It depends on what he chooses in the future. I just need to make sure he doesn't go down the path of no return like Injustice or Devastator.
Morgan found the elevator leading to the testing area, and Stark Six sent her a message saying that they had set up a temporary defense line there. There were casualties, but not many.
They can still hold on, No. 6, let us go rescue Tony No. 7 first."
"Um."
Mason nodded and turned to look at Batgirl who was connecting to the Fox Nest central processor. The latter had accessed the Fox Nest central computer through the Mobius chair and was browsing the internal database to find the location where Tony No. 7 was imprisoned.
"All the imprisoned researchers are locked up in the lower level. The good news is that their vital signs are stable. The bad news is that the Council is replicating their minds in an attempt to create a super AI that combines the wisdom of all Fox Nest researchers.
Not just Tony Seven!
According to this plan, after the Fourth Impact, all researchers will be forced to accept this project. In addition, I found the information of the Earth in front of us. He is the experiment subject No. 7 of the "Planet Restart" project..."
Barbara read the test information of this Earth, she turned her head and said to the people behind her:
"This is the seventh backup of Fox Nest's project to try to restart those worlds that have become wastelands. These lunatics have used seven Earths to conduct similar experiments on this project alone.
But they didn’t even come up with an effective solution?
I think I understand why the Council wants to kill them."
"This is a complicated matter, Barbara, don't judge them so casually. Open the passage, and let's go rescue Tony! Also, I have an idea."
Mason looked at the unconventional and neat interior of the star that was being shaped in front of him, full of the simple style of the laboratory, and said:
"After seeing the scale of the Fox Nest with my own eyes, I suddenly felt that it was not worthwhile for us to come here just to rescue people. Such a planetary-class spacecraft must have a propulsion system.
Why not…”
"Grab it!"
Damian said with shining eyes:
"For the Junior K Team... er, I mean, for the K Corps to use as a base! We can't always occupy the Green Goblin's territory, we should also have an operation base of our own.
Watchtowers are so lame, I want this!
Mason, let's grab it!"
"Look at the stupid thing you said when you saw the toy."
The captain snorted and said:
“The data and knowledge stored in such a research facility can definitely change the entire universe. Whether it is for the future of the Fusion Project or for existence in the next era, we need such a scientific fortress.
Change of plans! "
He said to the people behind him who were rubbing their hands in anticipation:
"Barbara, take the others to find the main control room and relieve Skynet of its control over the Fox Nest. Damian, Morgan and I will go to the lower level to rescue Tony 7."
"Hey, it's long overdue."
Damian waved his fist in satisfaction, but Barbara, who was sitting on the Mobius chair, was a little hesitant. She said:
"I'm confident that we can break through Skynet's firewall with the help of the Mobius Chair, but I'm sure it will activate a self-destruct protocol when we capture the planet.
We don’t have enough staff to investigate.”
"Use this."
Mason took out the Star Emperor's Heart main processor, handed the black mechanical box to Barbara, and said:
"You don't even need to crack Skynet's data protection. Just find a socket in the main control room and plug it in. I'm sure there is no known machine or data object that can resist the power of Unicron's core spark."
“This machine can take on this task!”
The lights on the Mobius Chair flashed, and it volunteered:
"You only need to place the Star Emperor Heart processor in the system of this machine. This machine can guarantee to take over this planetary spaceship within ten minutes. Quick! Barbara, put that hot thing into the body of this machine. This machine can't wait to experience the feeling of ascension again."
"Don't give it to him. This guy is begging for it."
Mason stopped:
"Using the Star Emperor's Heart on the same machine multiple times may cause data contamination. I don't want to see this guy suddenly jump out and claim to give us the whole life.
Also don't bother restarting the energy core.
That thing must have been locked, don't waste time, just use the Star Emperor's Heart as a new energy module."
"OK."
Barbara took the Star Emperor's Heart module and led a group of people to the main control room, while Mason and the other two moved to the top of the lower prison area according to the map copied by Barbara.
But this place has been completely sealed off.
Apparently their invasion caused Skynet to activate its defense program. Morgan was worried about his father Tony No. 7, so he raised his armor hand cannon and was about to attack forward, but was stopped by Damian.
"This thing is nearly twenty meters thick and made of a special alloy. Even if you use up all your energy, you can't destroy it."
The team leader glanced at Mason and saw the captain, who was lying on the ground setting up a miniature detonator.
After more than ten seconds, he stood up, took out the Star-Eating Messenger lighter and lit a cigarette, then like Xiao Ma Ge, he casually threw the lighter wrapped in purple light on the detonator.
Precisely calculated energy exploded downwards, piercing through nearly three kilometers of middle-layer defenses in a flash of purple light, creating a vertical shaft leading directly to the prison cell.
Mason didn't need to give any more instructions. Morgan jumped down with Damian in his hand. Mason jumped down right after him. The penguin umbrella in his hand opened like a parachute and allowed him to land smoothly after a few seconds.
The activated autonomous machines in the confinement area had been defeated by Morgan and Damian, and the road to the confinement core was clear when Mason landed.
However, the Twelfth Sequence also deployed defensive forces in this important area. A young man named "Nightwing" wearing red armor and holding an electric bat stick and Black Adam wearing black combat clothes blocked the three people on the left and right.
They are all accomplices of the Unjust Superman.
In that world, the eldest son is dead, and it is Damian Wayne who inherits the name of Nightwing.
"Look, Damian."
Mason said to the crazy guy who had drawn his samurai sword:
"I've told you a long time ago that you don't need to worry too much about your height. Look, when you grow up, won't it be easy to exceed 1.8 meters?"
Damian stared at his own temporal alter ego.
He looked at his future self. He was quite satisfied with his height, appearance and body shape when he was twenty years old. However, the rebellious look on the other person's face made him quite unhappy.
So he gave up the idea of inviting his future self to join the K team and decided to give the guy in front of him a little "sweetness".
A quick and clean death may be a new way to say hello to yourself.
"They both belong to me! Go and save Tony Seven."
The little madman hooked his finger at Mason, meaning to get some equipment support. Mason pulled out the Ragnarok pistol from his waist, turned it in his palm and handed it to Damian, while instructing:
"Just fire one shot. I've taken good care of the Black Death Sword. It's very wild and powerful and will never obey you. Your small body simply can't handle this little manly toy."
"whispering sound"
Damian curled his lips, holding the gun in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, he rushed towards the two unrighteous accomplices in front of him. The moment he stood up, his whole body was covered with nano-bat mechanical suits, and he was unparalleled in his momentum when fighting two alone.
Mason and Morgan crossed the battlefield from the edge. "Nightwing" over there was unwilling to let them go and jumped over to stop them, but Mason's hand caused the blood to flow backwards and his feet went weak and he almost fell. Layers of fine ice flakes wrapped around his skin under his armor, making him feel like he had fallen into a thousand-year-old glacier.
"Hmm? Has your water control ability improved again?"
Mason almost stopped himself.
He recovered most of his strength when he released it for the last time so as not to freeze Nightwing in front of him into ice chips. When fighting with the Void before, the latter claimed that he had mastered the perfect use of all Mason's abilities.
Now it seems that Mason Darkseid Cooper did not lie. Just the qualitative change of the energy remaining in Mason's body has raised his water control ability to a higher level.
It seems that we are not far from Omega-level manipulation.
"dad!"
A few minutes later, Morgan used the armor's chest cannon to penetrate the mechanical outer wall of the prison and saw Tony No. 7 placed in a biological tank at a glance.
Although his relationship with Tony No. 7 was not as close as the latter advertised.
But after experiencing the true separation of life and death, it is obvious that young Morgan has realized that he has actually accepted Tony No. 7, this unreliable "stepfather", in his heart.
Especially when he saw Tony No. 7 being soaked in biological fluid, with tubes inserted behind his head and his body emaciated to the point of being skin and bones, he could no longer control his emotions.
The little girl stepped forward and smashed the jar with a few punches. Amid the explosion of biological fluid with a pungent smell, she carefully took Tony No. 7 out of it and put him on the ground.
Mason stepped forward and gave him simple first aid and tests.
"Their bodies are weak but not fatally injured. It's just that their brain activity is abnormally intense. Perhaps they have suffered irreversible damage. These guys were too brutal. They almost sucked all their brains dry."
The captain said, and reached out to grasp the biological tube connected to the back of Tony No. 7's head, pulling it out bit by bit with a steady hand.
This experiment was of course inhumane. When Mason pulled out the tube from behind his head, Tony No. 7 began to tremble violently, breathing rapidly and even rolling his eyes.
Morgan was so anxious that he almost cried.
"Don't be afraid, kid, this is normal. Quickly cover him with your armor and activate the life support system."
Mason warned:
"There is still a thought extractor left in his brain, but he cannot undergo surgery in his current state. He needs to recover for a while."
"Um."
Morgan immediately took off his nano armor and placed it on Tony No. 7's chest. As the red and blue armor covered him, Mason stood up and looked back at the pure white experimental cabin behind him.
In addition to Tony No. 7, there are dozens of other researchers immersed in the biological tank in the same posture, and each of them has a thought extraction device connected to the back of their head.
This made the scene look like a mad scientist's laboratory in a B-movie. Although it was spotlessly clean, it revealed a kind of nausea that made people feel deep in their hearts.
"You are safe now, everyone. We will untie you in a moment."
Mason said softly, and several of the people who had just been put in and still had some consciousness struggled a few times in the jar, as if they were trying to express their gratitude.
"Captain! Dad wants to ask you something, but he can't speak!"
Morgan held Tony No. 7, who was covered in armor, and shouted to Mason. The captain turned around and pulled over a chair for the extremely weak Tony No. 7 to sit on it.
He stared at the skinny face and the cloudy, dull eyes that were revealed when the armor mask popped open. He could feel that Tony No. 7 was trying hard to move his mouth but couldn't utter a single syllable.
Mason took his hand and said:
"Don't worry, I know what you want to ask... We did it, Tony!"
Tony No. 7 shook his body, as if this was not the answer he wanted, so Mason thought about it and continued:
"All four control experiments were successful. Your calculations were correct! We saved our world with your method. We survived the impact, man.
This is all thanks to you, my friend, you are the real hero."
After hearing that his calculations were correct, Tony No. 7 finally stopped struggling. He closed his eyes contentedly in endless fatigue and pain.
He had to rest in his precious daughter's arms.
But he knew he was absolutely right!
Hey.
In such important matters, I believe Stark will never be wrong.
