Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 13 Rebellion? What rebellion? I don’t know!
"This mothership can directly contact 47 Weapon X project bases, 7 of which have been abandoned or are close to being abandoned. The rest are still in operation. If the data migration mode is used, then one-third of the consciousness in the brain wave enhancement machine can be revived at one time.
But this is also a one-off.
There's no way the Council will allow those bases to fall into our hands. I expect that once the first phase of the Diamond Cradle project is completed, coupled with the collapse of the First Sequence, they will immediately destroy all current Weapon X projects in all dimensions.
However, I noticed that there were several long-range signals in the starship's database that could not be activated actively. I guessed that it was a secret base controlled by the Council.
Maybe those drug-crazed super mutants under Doom were born in those places."
Emma's tired voice sounded from Mason's mind, reporting the data she had searched in the starship database. The chaos in various places on the starship had not yet completely subsided, but that was no longer a problem.
The belated swordsman is leading the mutant pioneers to carry out armed cleanup of each area one by one to ensure that small conflicts in other places will not interfere with the upcoming large-scale data migration of the Cradle Project.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s enough for these things to be used once. The revival is also enough to restore the internal forces of the mutants to a balanced state.
Just like the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants once were.”
Mason responded, looking back at his mother, and said:
"Can you still hold on? How about taking a break? I'll give you some energy-recovery potion or something ?"
“That’s not necessary.”
The White Queen yawned sleepily and said:
“In fact, the main trouble lies in unlocking the various data blockades left by the Supreme Professor, but those blockades were already unlocked when the first batch of X-Knights were revived. The rest is mechanical data transfer.
If this thing does not need to be activated by the user's life signal, then it can be left to the program to operate automatically.
I can catch up on some sleep during this process.
Transferring nearly 50,000 consciousness backups at one time can also release the redundancy of the brain wave enhancer, thereby improving its performance. After that, this exclusive item belonging to those with psychic powers can also be used in frontal combat.
The whole process takes six hours and is completed just in time for dawn.
But I guess this process won't be so smooth, and internal conflicts are nothing.
After the obedience program was unlocked, chaos broke out within the First Sequence. In addition to this mothership, they had internal conflicts to varying degrees in 9 large bases in other dimensions. Especially after Magneto and Marshal Chaser appealed to them, their internal divisions had become increasingly obvious.
The main pressure now comes from outside.
Perhaps other Conqueror Orders will be sent in to halt our operations."
"Then let them come."
Mason glanced at the time and said casually:
"Right now, the X-Knights are still alienated from the First Order rebels, and the K-Men's cooperation with them is still superficial, but it doesn't matter. They will take the initiative to unite in the face of a common enemy.
The greater the external pressure, the faster and closer the unity will come, and the attacks on the First Sequence by other Conqueror Sequences will make those wavering clones realize the cruel truth.
The more ferociously they come, the more manpower we can absorb.
If the Council really sends someone to strangle the emerging mutant forces, it will be a true divine assist!"
"Well, now that you've said this, I don't think I need to give you any more advice. The data backup migration will begin in five minutes. During the entire process, we will try our best to ensure that the mothership is not damaged. If there is a sudden power outage in the middle of the process, you will have to say goodbye to your dear mother forever."
Emma made a joke and went into deep spiritual maneuvering with her signature laugh.
After Mason confirmed again and again that she was fine, he turned around and looked at the bridge behind him. The traces of the large-scale conflict were still there, but the bodies of those stubborn generals had been sent away.
It is impossible for our side to remain unscathed after a major war.
For example, Magneto has been sent to the medical cabin, and Zhu Shuai can still hold on, but this time he is also sitting in a chair and receiving treatment from the paramedic Mason.
The only ones who still had some energy left and looked energetic were the large group of comrades.
This super Omega mutant with more than 300 personalities is probably the most durable madman born in this era. By switching between different personalities, he can fight until the extinction of the star sea.
"Emma is about to use the Project X bases under the First Sequence to complete the resurrection of the second batch of X-Knights, but these bases are located in remote areas of various planes, and the transfer of compatriots after their resurrection is a big problem."
Mason said to the crowd:
"Once the First Order's rebellion is known to the Council, the hunt for the new comrades will definitely be put on the agenda. The Speedsters can contact them, but it will take time to bring them all back to New Osborne Tower.
Do you have any good ideas?"
"Let them hide where they are!"
A large group of personalities were transformed into a supernatural detective.
This fellow's temperament suddenly became mysterious and obscure. He took out a pipe from somewhere and played with it while saying to Mason in a very similar thinking posture to that of a master:
"Don't summon them back to New Osborne Tower. At this stage, you must use every bit of your strength properly, and the new X-Knights also need a stable recovery period. Even if you spend a lot of effort to bring them back, it will be difficult for them to form effective combat power for a while.
It would be better to let them disperse and hide in the earth or the sea of stars in various dimensions.
Their hidden stays in different worlds can also serve as a way for us to communicate with strange worlds and planes, or even become the messengers of your camp, the best candidates to communicate with those worlds and forces that have not yet heard of the new utopian project.
This is not a retreat from aiding them, Mason.
This is just based on long-term thinking. The fusion project you named "New Utopia" has been successful, which means that in the future all discrete worlds and planes will be integrated into one.
Only then will our X-Knights return home with the honor of participating in a great cause, which is obviously a beneficial choice for both parties.
As for how to help them hide and avoid being hunted, that is even simpler.”
Detective Da Tuan raised his head, stared at Mason with his sharp eyes, and said:
“As long as you are dazzling enough, the Council’s eyes will always stay on you. The bigger the trouble you cause, the safer these compatriots who are hiding will be.
You don't have to really regard them as weaklings who need to be protected. They are all X-Knights, and they are the best warriors carefully selected in this era.
There are hundreds of Resurrection Knights born in each base, and their number and quality combined are already a force that cannot be ignored.
What do you think of my suggestion? "
"Perfect!"
Mason reached out and clapped his hands, praising the detective's great plan, he was right, although Mason was indeed willing to help anyone who needed help, he could not ignore the factor of self-help.
As for the X-Knights of Utopia, they are not weaklings in the conventional sense. After their resuscitation, they can directly participate in Mason's new Utopia plan as a very elite force.
It's simply a stroke of genius.
This also gave Mason a deeper understanding of Daqun's magical split personality. He wanted to spend some time chatting with this detective personality, but after a dozen seconds, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred.
"Attention, First Rider! This external communication access to the Conqueror system has extremely high authority and comes from the Conqueror's Third Sequence Commander's Office, most likely the Third Sequence Commander himself.
He requested to speak directly to the current controller of the First Sequence Mothership. Do you want to connect?"
The reminder from the Mobius chair made Mason turn his head suddenly, and other people who were resting in the bridge also cast their eyes over, some with concern.
Perhaps it is because what happened in the First Sequence has already been known by the Council, and the commander of the Third Sequence opening the phone now may be the final warning before the war?
Mason waved his hand to signal everyone not to panic.
He sat on the Mobius chair and connected the communication after thinking for a few seconds. An optical full-body projection was placed in front of his eyes. What came into view was a quaint desk where Steve Rogers was sitting behind it, busy processing some documents.
The commander of the third sequence of conquerors and the third member of the Quint Society. Mason had met him once. It was said that this guy had some secret relationship with the death of Ciri's parents.
"You looking for me?"
Mason asked.
The latter first finished dealing with the document in hand before looking up. His face had not changed much from the last time they met. The scar under his eye was still conspicuous, completely destroying the softness of his face and adding a different kind of fierceness.
"You move very quickly."
Steve said in a gentle tone:
"I received a danger warning automatically issued by the Council's defense system fifteen minutes ago. As a result, before these people gathered, the first-order mothership fell into your hands.
It was a terrible rebellion, a sudden and swift stab of a knife in the heart of a long line of conquerors, too fast to defend against and even to comprehend.
The order to quell the rebellion may be issued soon.
But I have to assess the situation first. I am going to ask you a few questions, intruder, and I hope you will answer them truthfully."
He said this without any hostility in his words, which were gentle and casual, just like a middle-aged man joking with the young man next door.
Mason was thinking about what this guy really meant. From the information revealed by Captain Turner before, it was not difficult to judge that Steve Rogers was happy to see Mason's victory.
From an optimistic point of view, this guy should not be an enemy, at least not a hopeless bastard like Old A.
"Ahem, listen carefully."
The commander of the third sequence picked up the questionnaire and asked:
"Has the commander of the First Order died?"
"No, Madeleine is missing. She was not seen during the whole process."
Mason answered truthfully.
Steve nodded, ticked a box on the paper, and said:
"Very good, the commander is still alive, so the threat assessment level of this invasion has been lowered. It seems that there is no need to dispatch at least three Conqueror Sequences to fight a confrontation with the purpose of extermination."
This sentence made Mason and everyone around him widen their eyes.
Hello!
What are you doing?
Is dereliction of duty so blatant?
"The second question is, who is currently controlling the First Sequence Mothership? Is the command system still intact? Can orders be effectively issued to the lower levels of the sequence?"
Steve asked again.
This time it was Zhu Shuai who answered him.
The old general, whose half of his body was frozen to the point of organ failure and who was currently receiving seven injections of drugs to ensure that his condition did not worsen, coughed and replied:
"The mothership is still controlled by the clones! The command system is damaged, but it does not interfere with the normal transmission of orders! Communications between the nine important military bases under the First Order are still connected.
By the way, the mothership was not seriously damaged and the situation is currently under effective control!
This was simply an unexpected internal rebellion that did not require external intervention.”
"Hmm? Who's talking?"
The third-order commander asked in a businesslike manner:
"Tell me your name! Your rank! Your position! And your identification number. I want to remind you that everything you say is being recorded. If you lie or conceal something that leads to serious consequences, you will be sent to the Conqueror's Arbitration Tribunal!"
"Name: Paris Bennett, nickname: Zhushuai, appearance sequence number: 004 batch 003 clone, currently serving as the first sequence joint commander, performing management functions in place of the missing commander-in-chief, the Red Queen.
Conqueror Personal Identification Number XXXYR-24579-D65."
Zhu Shuai reported a long string of information very skillfully. He glanced at Mason and said with a firm tone:
"Reporting to you, Third Commander, the conflict and chaos on the mothership was just an internal affair of the First Order. It has now been settled and reiterated that there is no need for interference and assistance from other sequences.
Thank you for your attention and sorry for taking up your valuable time. ”
"Well, the identity verification has been passed. It seems that he is indeed a high-level commander. Therefore, the threat assessment level of this situation has been lowered again."
Steve Rogers spent another fortune on the documents in a serious manner.
Finally he asked the third question.
He said:
"Explain why there are other people on your mothership who are not conquerors? This is a serious violation of military prohibition!"
"Ahem, we are the pioneers of the Star Society. Because we are clones, we were invited by General Zhushuai to help quell the rebellion. As for the others who are not part of the Conqueror Sequence, they are my team members."
Mason replied:
"Do you want me to give you my serial number for the Weapon X program as well?"
"So your team has over 1,500 members?"
Steve said in a long, expressionless voice:
"Are all the pioneers of the Star Society monsters?"
"Well, I have a collecting habit. When I meet powerful guys, I can't help but recruit them into my team to become my personal retainers. We have always had the tradition of forming a retainer army."
Mason said without blinking:
"My specific identity is the A-level member of the Star Society, 'Godsmith'. This operation is a joint operation between the Star Society and the First Sequence. Because it happened suddenly, it was not reported to the Council in advance.
But both are under the Council, so there is no potential risk.”
"Okay, the identity is serious, and the threat assessment level of the incident has been downgraded again."
The third commander looked at the filled-in document in front of him, stroking his chin and judging:
"It seems to be a system false alarm. This is just a minor internal issue. According to the handling process, I will delegate the handling authority to you. Please resolve the issue as soon as possible.
The second questioning session will be in eight hours, and I hope the issue will be resolved by then.
Finally, chase the general!
You have violated thirteen military regulations of the Conqueror Order in this operation!
Therefore, you will be imprisoned for 7 days. Please relieve yourself of your duties immediately after the situation is resolved and hand over to the next commander, and go to the confinement room to complete the punishment.
Do you want to defend your behavior?
That is your power.”
"No, Third Commander, your punishment is very fair. I accept it."
General Zhu Shuai responded seriously, and the crowd nearby burst into laughter. As a result, he was glared at by Mason and Steve Rogers at the same time.
This is a video conference! Be serious, asshole!
"Okay, business is over. It's really a headache to have to get people out of bed in the middle of the night just to deal with a false alarm."
The third commander stretched his body and stood up. Under his straight military uniform was his lower body in pajamas. It seemed that he was really awakened by the warning and climbed out of bed temporarily.
The optical projection in front of him changed direction following the actions of the third commander, and finally fixed his perspective on the sea of stars outside the office window.
It was a completely different dark starry sky.
"There's still some time, let's talk about some private matters."
Steve leaned against the porthole and turned to Mason on the other side of the projection and said:
"Do you remember the bet between us?"
"Um."
Mason nodded, and then heard the third commander say softly:
"I intend to comply, but others may not. Anyway, don't act rashly and wait for my news, OK?"
"It looks like you're on my side."
The captain said:
“It’s really relaxing.”
"Mason, I don't take sides except my own."
The third commander shook his head and sighed:
"Well, tell me, how perfect would it be if everything ended peacefully and harmoniously?"
