Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 18 The essence of the victory that Mason desires is speed. The faster, the happier.
In response to Mason's proposal to launch a two-front war simultaneously, everyone present exchanged glances and no one raised any objections.
On the one hand, it was because Mason presented facts and reasoned clearly and convincingly about his decision-making process and reasons; on the other hand, it was because of everyone's consistent trust in him.
Apart from anything else, you see that the captain has risked his concubine's life in this operation, which is obviously a sign of complete devotion.
He, a man known throughout the world for his rationality and sentimentality, has already come this far. What is there for others to hesitate about?
"Since there is no objection, let's take a look at the scene your assault team will face."
Mason activated the confidentiality agreement on his watch. After the authorization was completed, a lot of secret information about the 2149th dimension was uploaded to the projection device on the table in front of him.
A large number of photos and images were projected into the air in front of everyone, and there was also a three-minute real-life shot, which showed the situation of the earth in the zombie dimension in a very terrifying way.
Corpse!
There were moving corpses everywhere.
Although he could not experience it personally, the coldness and weirdness of the world completely devoured by the power of death even made Lord Chao feel a little uncomfortable and moved his shoulders.
"Ms. Janet has readjusted the final landing point of the quantum tunnel in the microscopic world that can communicate between the two planes. Therefore, after your flanking operation begins, you will be sent directly to the Earth in the 2149 universe.
Our friend over there, John Stewart, the leader of the Black Lantern Corps, has gained temporary control of Earth and its satellite dimensions, so you will not be exposed to any unplanned risks during this infiltration.
The only thing you need to endure is the erosion of your body by the all-pervasive force of death."
Mason explained:
"Of course, I will make the corresponding equipment to ensure your safety. As for the search for the projection of the World Gate in the 2149 universe, it is also going smoothly.
Thanks to the busy work of those talented guys we found in various worlds, my Zombie K Team has already locked on its targets in countless levels of hell.
The only problem is that the hell there has also been eroded by death, so you must cross that hell plane in the shortest possible time to reach the location of the projection of the World Gate, and clear a safe enough path for subsequent entrants, and then... wait patiently!"
The captain breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at everyone's reactions. After confirming that everyone understood the goal of his action, he continued:
"According to the memories of the few remaining old researchers in the Fox Nest who participated in the design and casting of the World Gate, the gate that carries all the power of the World Gate of the Star Club can only be opened from one side.
Therefore someone must open that door for you in Mephisto's lair, and this is the only goal of the team in the material world that is acting at the same time as you.
Once the main body of the World Gate is opened, we will be sure to win!
With Galactus's energy level and his hatred for the old devil, once we open that door, all problems related to Mephisto will no longer be a problem!
Even better, the solidity and uniqueness of the World Gate itself ensure that even the old devil cannot destroy it, and Ciri's timely death will cause Mephisto to weaken rapidly, and he cannot guarantee that he will be able to hinder our ability to act in the material world. "
Mason knocked on the table and announced as if it was the final word:
“By that time, the old devil will not only have to face the forces of punishment from several worlds, but also a cosmic god from another dimension who he has used, bullied and ridiculed to support him.
Not to mention that he hasn't transcended yet, even if he really did transcend, he would have no way out in the face of this level of power convergence!"
After Mason finished speaking, the small conference room fell silent. Everyone was thinking about the battle plan in their own way and drawing their own conclusions, but at least in general, there was nothing wrong with the plan.
It was not until a dozen seconds later that the master put forward his own idea. He said:
“So the key to this showdown operation is to open the World Gate at the right time, and the prerequisite for its successful execution is that you must first survive Lao A’s death trap and at the same time ensure that your other team can successfully break into the devil’s lair.
So here comes the question.
First of all, what makes you think you can survive a desperate fight from all your current enemies?
Secondly, the composition of your other team is also a big problem. If I were Mephisto, I would do my best to build my lair into an impregnable and invincible fortress.
In fact, I think if we are only performing exploration duties in the 2149 universe, your K team is more suitable than us. The deterrent and destructive power of our force should be placed on the front battlefield. "
"Yes! I think so too."
Sister Ka nodded and said:
"I've always wondered which feels better: chopping devils or chopping Olympian gods?"
"If it were normal, it would be true, but the problem is that our current situation is not normal."
Mason hesitated for a moment and decided to reveal the secret to his most trusted attackers.
He whispered:
“Just because Mephisto is a bastard doesn’t mean that Uncle Tun in Universe 2149 is a good person. In fact, according to the secret reports from Zombie Squad K, they have already grasped a lot of clues.
The goddess of death in that dimension is selecting dead warriors in the resurrected universe to form a dangerous and greedy army. As for Galactus...
In our conversation, He never mentioned His plans after Mephisto's fall, but I think that if we release Him, it might not be so easy to get Him to go back to His own plane of death.
You have to understand that although the rules of the 2149 universe are not perfect, Galactus is indeed a projection of the power of a cosmic god that grew up in a distorted universe.
In terms of destructive power, ten Mephistos cannot compare to Him.
What the old devil wants is control and power, while what Uncle Tun wants is obviously the purer and more dangerous way to satisfy his never-ending gluttonous desire. "
"Well, now I understand what you said."
Sister Ka blinked and said:
"So, breaking into the devil's lair through the secret passage and catching him off guard is only our first mission. Our main task is to find a way to 'persuade' the dangerous Galactus and his dead companions to return to his universe after taking revenge?"
"Well, that's it. You don't even need to participate in the attack on Mephisto. Just delay the Death Legion and prevent them from entering the living material world.
I don't think that the current reality planes that have been poisoned to such a weak and withered state can withstand a group of monsters that feed on the sea of stars. The change of the universe's era is not only a threat to us, but also a trouble for the universe of 2149.
If the Goddess of Death transforms an entire parallel world system into her own kingdom of God, then she is very likely to turn this change of the universe into a stage leading to a higher level of power.
In this respect, she is even more dangerous than Galactus and has more motivation to act.
We cannot release another, more terrifying monster just to defeat one, as that would sow the seeds of disaster for the future.
We cannot pass our troubles on to the next generation.”
Mason said:
"In short, in my plan, protecting the connection between the two planes of the World Gate is more important than Mephisto's affairs. Once the gate is taken away by Galactus, the result will be catastrophic.
To put it simply, our action this time is to seek the skin of a tiger... That's why I want to deploy the strongest force under normal circumstances in this important position.
Of course, I won't let you fight against an entire death plane with bare hands. I will give you full support in terms of equipment and enhancement."
The captain explained the issue that the master was concerned about, and then casually said:
"As for the selection of the other commando team, you don't have to worry. The three leaders of the Ultimate K Team have already made it clear that they will shoulder their responsibilities. In addition to you, the strongest among the entire Resistance Alliance, the newly united mutants, and the Ronin of the Star Society will be carefully selected.
We have passed the stage of manpower shortage, and we are not weak in terms of elite forces.
As for my K-Team...
Unfortunately, due to Mephisto's mandatory control over soul contracts, not only can they not appear on the front battlefield, but they also have to stay away from this war as much as possible.
But don't worry about them either.
They also have their own work to do, and they cannot participate in the reckoning of Lord Fate, but they will participate in this great liberation of the stars with the same dedication and in another way!
Everyone! "
Mason opened his arms and cried:
“ Everyone we know and everyone we don’t know will become fearless warriors in this final battle. No one will be willing to be absent.”
"Well said!"
The kind-hearted Thanos was encouraged .
He applauded Mason's bold words and agreed with such a glorious cause from the bottom of his heart. Lord Chao and Daqun also nodded frequently. Although the fairy Hope still had some opinions about Mason, she had to admit that this guy was indeed good at inciting people!
Only the master was not satisfied.
After the noise of others came to an end, the master said quietly:
"You've avoided my most important question. You have to come clean, Mason. You have to tell us how you plan to survive this death trap that was set just for you.
This is very important!
Not only because you are the absolute core of the New Utopia Project, but also because you are my Robin, and I must be responsible for your life and safety."
"Well, I don't actually have a specific plan, because I don't know what kind of surprise Mr. A has prepared for me."
Mason couldn't avoid this question. Under the gaze of others, he thought about it and answered:
“But I believe that the perfected Universe Power Armor can protect my life with a high probability in dangerous situations. As far as I know, although the Hope Council hides all kinds of treasures, it is quite rare for them to have something powerful enough to destroy this power armor.
In addition, there is also my wild phoenix, which has already achieved great power.
Its flames can even restore me to full health when I am on my last breath. I also have a complete set of anti-Phoenix Force tactics. Finally, in terms of unconventional weapons, I also have this..."
He took out a bottle of "Second Generation Million Stars" potion from his pocket and placed it on the table. As soon as this thing was taken out, it attracted the attention of others, especially Thanos, the Titan who had the keenest perception of cosmic energy.
The latter frowned and said:
"This thing is powerful, but it has an aura that goes straight into darkness, and my instinct tells me to stay away from it."
"Indeed, I wouldn't take it unless I had to."
Mason rubbed his forehead and said:
“The side effects of this thing are a bit strong, and I don’t recommend it to anyone other than myself, but for supermen this may be an ultimate weapon that can be used.
My alchemist has modified it to the limit that Kryptonians can bear..."
"Then give me a bottle."
Lord Chao said:
"If I have to fight more than one cosmic god..."
"Well, this is for you."
Mason threw the potion on the table to Lord Chao and said:
"You must use it when you have no other options and the situation is most critical. I'm not kidding. After using this thing, you may have to live in the pain of fighting against yourself for the rest of your life."
"Um."
Lord Chao packed up the potion properly, then Mason clapped his hands and said to the people in front of him:
"Now, please go to my engineering laboratory. Enjenil Cooper is waiting for you there. He has prepared a complete set of unconventional weapons for each of you to enhance your personal strength to the limit.
Especially you, sir.
Your upgrade project is more tedious than others, which means you may need to stay here to adjust your weapons until the operation begins tomorrow night.
"Hurry up!"
Mason concluded:
"Whether it's your actions, my actions, or the actions of the commandos in the material world, they must be fast! The faster the better. Our three parties' actions will start in different areas but will be closely linked. Not giving the dangerous enemy more reaction time is a prerequisite for our victory."
"I understand, and I am confident that I can return triumphantly."
Sister Ka reached out and patted Mason on the shoulder. She said:
"We resisted the attack and drove away Unicron. This is enough to prove that we are no longer the weak party in this game. Although it seems against our principles to let the leader of the Isu take risks alone, considering that you have performed countless miracles, I can still trust you without reservation at this point.
We'll have a great time drinking victory wine together, I'm sure of it!"
"Yes, I will."
Mason smiled, shook hands with everyone who walked out of the small conference room, accepted their blessings and encouragement, and watched them leave.
The master was the last to leave.
He glanced at Mason and said:
"There must be haven't told us... but you are better than me in every way, and I believe that those concealments are out of good intentions. I wish you good luck, Mason."
The master extended his hand to the captain, and when their hands were clasped together, the master suddenly whispered:
"I have a feeling that our story is about to end. Perhaps every meeting from now on may be a farewell. Although I am not satisfied with this future, I also understand that your life is not limited to this.
Maybe everything that happened here is just the beginning for you, so I think maybe it's time to say goodbye to you with blessings.
Mason, I am honored to have met you and to have done so many righteous, great, and brilliant things with you.
No matter where you are, no matter where you go, you will always be a member of the Bat Family, you will always be a member of the Wayne Family."
"Master, why are you suddenly so sentimental? I'm about to cry."
Mason grinned.
He said:
"I am also very happy that I was able to witness with my own eyes that a Batman who was very close to me was able to have a relatively complete and happy life after countless tragic rehearsals of fate.
I know that tragedy, darkness and depth are the underlying colors of all Batman legends, and I like such stories, but I hope my friends can have their own happiness even more.
It's time for you to retire, sir.
The Batman story will continue, but it will have nothing to do with you."
"Well, after this battle I'll go home and get married."
The master calmly raised his hand and left while Mason's heart was beating wildly. In the small conference room where he was the only one left, Mason lit a cigarette.
As the smoke rose, he picked up his penguin umbrella and looked at the dark, deep, round gem on the top.
The black apple that hides all the secrets of the world...
Well, it's time to ask questions.
