Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 21 Meow meow meow! (You who seek the lives of cute cats are all assholes!)
Mason got the potion.
It is packaged in a triangular crystal bottle and has a transparent luster, just like the most ordinary pure water.
But when you hold it in front of your eyes and look at it against the light, the unique spectrum of light refracted by the liquid dazzles your eyes like a disordered rainbow.
The alchemist stood behind Mason, looking at the bottle of medicine with a proud and complacent look. It was the best work he could produce in his short but brilliant alchemical career.
Of course, the smug smile on his face didn't just come from the fact that he had completed Mason's commission, but also from the fact that he had broken through his own skills.
Just when the potion was finished, the Lv10 alchemy finally reached Lv11.
Obviously, after reaching the maximum level, achieving a breakthrough in skills no longer depends on day-to-day hard practice. After the skills have been honed to perfection, it is time to seek wisdom at a higher level.
Ideas or innovation, or breaking through oneself to achieve the impossible.
The only regret is that the skill breakthrough at Lv11 did not bring more talents or supernatural powers, but for Mason now, he doesn't really need the power brought by the golden finger.
Mason looked at the potion in his hand. A translucent information label quickly popped out of the bottle:
Miracle Resurrection Drug
Quality: Alchemical Artifact, Immortal , Relic
Effect: Drinking this item will bind one's existence to a specific thing, enter the [Death] state and then enter the resurrection process and grant the [Immortality] state after the resurrection is complete.
Before the bound object is destroyed or the drinker dies, the life state of the resurrected drinker remains constant and the concept of [Death] is removed.
hint!
The drug is currently bound to Mason Cooper.
warn!
This drug contains rule-level status changes. The drinker enters the resurrection process and the effective time is uncertain under the normal time flow, but the interference state will not make the effective time later than [6 months].
After the life form enters the [Transcendence] state, the drug is cancelled by the time interference effect and takes effect immediately.
Producer: Mason McGuck Cooper
Item Description: Is this the legendary resurrection + invincibility potion? Cool, boss, give me a dozen of these things! I can pay with anything you can think of.
hint!
Artifact-level crafting recipes and resurrection potion blueprints are included. You can combine different raw materials to make resurrection potions with different effects according to your own alchemy attainments and usage scenarios.
"Very good, this is what I wanted."
Mason put the bottle of resurrection potion for Ciri into his bag with satisfaction. He turned around to express his gratitude to the alchemist, but the latter was obviously still immersed in the mysterious state of "enlightenment" brought about by the Lv11 alchemy breakthrough, and was even too lazy to talk to Mason.
He just pointed to his medicine cabinet, indicating that Mason could take a few more bottles of good medicine before leaving to fight for his life, so as not to die outside and implicate the Mason family members who had just started a new life.
Of course, Black Apple has to stay.
The alchemist also planned to let the other Masons try it one by one. Although this thing looked down upon, it was really effective in completing a breakthrough in skills at a critical moment.
The only pity is that it treats each life equally in terms of usage quota, and the side effects are a bit serious.
Mason and the alchemist could still feel the chill in their hearts, and their spirits were in a state of drowsiness that could not be relieved, which meant that the backlash of the black apple was still there.
Although the backlash did not threaten life because the truth of the universe was not asked, the aftereffects still took a long time to recover.
"Snap"
Mason opened the alchemist's medicine cabinet, and saw a cup of blood-red liquid stored in a retro medicine bottle with a cork.
He was a connoisseur of value and immediately took the thing in his hand.
The old hat on Mason's head exclaimed:
"The Elixir of Immortality! My God, your crazy brother actually made this thing. This thing is a real legend in our time. Nick Mellor only made the Philosopher's Stone to give him immortality in life form, but it still cannot relieve the fatigue and aging at the soul level.
Even that guy didn’t make a real elixir of immortality.”
"He can even make a resurrection potion by hand, and he has the formula for the genuine Philosopher's Stone in his hand, so making an unmodified version of the immortality potion is really a piece of cake for him."
Mason felt the heavy medicine bottle in his hand and looked back at the alchemist who was still daydreaming. The latter was obviously thinking about something difficult to describe, but he had already taken out his notebook and began to record the fleeting magical inspirations in his mind.
“There are so many good things here.”
The captain naturally put the bottle of [Immortal Relic]-level elixir into his pocket, and looked at the wooden medicine cabinet in front of him filled with various potions.
The alchemist was obviously a perfectionist. He made a sample of the highest quality for all the potions he knew and placed them in this cabinet. Mason was ready to fight for his life, so he naturally didn't hesitate.
He cleared out all the relic-level potions in the cabinet, but of course he didn't take this guy's things for nothing. Didn't he want to build a business empire?
Mason simply put several deeds to the worlds of the Resistance Alliance into the empty cabinet, as a way to support his Mason brothers in starting a new life from scratch.
No matter what their future life will be like, Mason will definitely be blessed.
With satisfaction and relaxation, he leisurely got on the elevator and went down to the floor where the engineers were, but he did not forget that there was a group of guys who were about to carry out the assault mission and were selecting equipment there.
The mission these men had to undertake was extremely important, so Mason had to make sure they had the best supplies possible.
However, when Mason walked into the engineer's shop and saw the master trying on the Mason Family Edition of the Hellbat Armor, he was still a little nervous.
Are you guys really trying on clothes here? You're trying on one set after another. Hey, Sister Ka, these are all armors, so there's no need to try on every set, right?
If you touch it, you have to buy it, do you understand?
But the bat armor that the master is trying on is quite suitable.
This set of Hellbat armor is extraordinary. Although it does not have the epic feeling of the participation of the Justice League members, in terms of real materials, it is really a world apart from the original set of Kryptonian armor.
The alloy was hammered by a Lv10 forger himself. The main material was a mixture of pure vibranium and N metal, and a portion of origin X metal was added to it using the steel-cladding method. This completely solved the energy problem of the armor.
The master can wear it till the end of time.
The inscriptions on the main body of the armor look simple and elegant, but in fact only experts can see the tricks. Those lines contain the combined effects of three different branches of Asgard, Olympus and Isu inscriptions.
When necessary, once the user activates these functions, they can obtain a planetary shield-level energy matrix in a short period of time. Even if the shield is broken, the recovered energy can be transformed into a devastating energy counterattack.
Although it was stuck at Lv9, the inscriptionist's skills had indeed reached perfection, just as refined as the craftsmanship of the enchanter responsible for enchanting this set of armor.
The jeweler had preset grooves for it to hold a disposable infinite number of gems. Drilling holes in armor of this level was not something that any craftsman could do.
Moreover, these grooves have been reinforced. If one day the master can find the authentic Infinity Gems or something similar, they can also be permanently inlaid.
In that case, the Bat Family will possess a set of heirlooms that can touch the level of cosmic gods when in an explosive state.
To be honest, if the situation wasn't really dangerous this time, even if the wealthy Mason wanted to give the armor to the master for free, he would still feel a little distressed.
But considering that when Team K was penniless, its basic equipment was basically all "sponsored" by the boss, now that everyone is rich, it is only right to give back a little to the original "angel investors".
"Click"
The master, wearing this Mason-like hell bat armor, moved his fingers, and three silver-gray bat darts jumped into his palm. Made of N metal, the magic immunity term alone was enough to make these darts, which were polished to perfection, become true "spellcaster killers".
"The combat assistance written by Mobius Chair has been downloaded. You have six hours to train this AI to complete deep learning."
The engineer stood beside the master, put away the engineering wrench in his hand, patted Batman on the shoulder, and said:
“This is a huge project, but I believe you can do it, so stay up tonight and test the built-in life support system designed by the paramedic.
The guy boasted that he could wear this suit for a year without sleeping.
Remember, if you can come back alive, you must give me a trial report, and I will give you this prototype for free, but subsequent upgrades will require a service fee."
"I am very satisfied."
The master looked at himself in the mirror, nodded, and handed two unlimited overdraft Bat Black Cards to Engineer Mason.
Think of this as an upfront upgrade fee.
This action greatly improved the engineer's favorability towards the master, and he even took out a small box with a set of armor-specific maintenance tools for free.
Of course it's just a gimmick.
Considering the value of this set of armor in all aspects, the master definitely cannot repair it himself. If something really happens, he can only send it back to the engineer, the profiteer, for repair.
The equipment for the other people had already been prepared.
Unlike Batman, they are all extremely powerful beings and have their own mature combat systems. All they need are simple weapons and armor and some gadgets for special situations.
For example, the kind version of Thanos is now getting used to the golden mechanical Infinity Gauntlet on his left hand. The technology of this thing has been iterated once.
Thanks to Mason for the trial and error.
In short, the improved version of the mechanical Infinity Gauntlet has been greatly improved in all aspects, and Thanos also has a bag of disposable Infinity Gems at hand to use as "ammunition" for the gloves.
In addition, Thanos also obtained a set of Tyrant Armor specially designed and forged for the strength and body shape of the Titans. Even the propeller-style Tyrant Blade was reproduced one-to-one.
Lord Chao also received a set of "Dimensional Armor".
Of course, it is definitely not the legendary god-level armor built by high-dimensional creatures. It’s not that he looks down on engineers. It’s mainly because that guy’s current technology is not yet able to replicate the sixth-dimensional armor in Mason’s memory.
But this is also terrifying right now.
The engineer added a causal module of his own making. Once activated, all of Lord Chao's attacks will have a rule-level guaranteed hit effect.
Coupled with the "Million Stars" that Mason had given to Lord Chao before, using the two together is equivalent to instantly finding a super daddy for the enemy.
"The clothes you gave me remind me of Poseidon and Hades back then..."
Sister Ka was leaning on the counter of the shop drinking coffee. She changed into a set of golden Isu-style armor and complained to Mason:
“Back then, I only saw the might of those leaders in the memories of the Isu people. I didn’t expect that I could experience it myself now. This thing must be very expensive, right?
I can't seem to afford anything he has in his store, except for that little revolver that looks like your sidearm, which looks pretty cheap."
Sister Ka pointed to a silver-gray retro revolver on the counter. Mason glanced at the direction of her finger and said with a sigh:
"No, that thing is the most expensive item in this store, the Causality Pistol, a weapon that will never miss once you aim. You really have a bad eye."
"Tsk, I just have strong fighting skills."
She snorted and stopped talking. Mason looked around but didn't see a large group. That guy didn't need any specific weapons or armor, and his fighting style also meant that there were no fixed weapons that could be matched with him.
After all, no matter how good the engineers are, they can’t create a weapon with more than 300 attack modes, right?
Therefore, it is OK to give a large group of people an energy-enhancing accessory, but that is the area where jewelers and inscriptionists excel.
"I'm going to go back for a drink tonight."
After finishing her coffee, Sister Ka stretched and said to Mason:
“Go see my great-grandchildren, who are no more than an inch tall, and then give those good-for-nothings a few words of advice, and finally pay your respects at Wick’s grave.
I'll come tomorrow at noon."
"Bring me some flowers for Wick."
Mason said:
"I'll go see him when this is over."
"You look tired. You need to rest before you go into this meeting alone."
The Lord came over and said to Mason:
"Wally has gathered the Flash family together, and Barry will be responsible for leading them to the past time where you existed to protect you in the past, so that those guys won't play some evil tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the stage.
To be honest, I still don't agree with you taking such a risk.
But you are right, the enemy will not give us a chance to breathe, so the best option is to defeat them all in one fell swoop. After this battle, perhaps peace will come."
"That's just a beginning, not an end. Perhaps it can be called the end of the beginning."
The kindhearted Thanos raised his left hand and snapped his fingers. He smiled brightly but creepily and said:
“Peace needs to be maintained by everyone, so the future of the new era still has a heavy responsibility on us.”
"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me."
Mason laughed, distributed some of the various fine medicines he had stolen from the alchemist to the attackers, then said goodbye to them and left.
However, as soon as he walked out the door, he saw Catwoman standing at the door with her arms folded, blocking him.
"I heard from Harry."
Catwoman stared at Mason and said angrily:
"You are going to do something dangerous again. I heard that you are going to jump into a trap. Are you crazy?"
"Look, since the establishment of Team K, what have we done that is not like this?"
Mason shrugged and said to the cat lady in front of him:
"I can guarantee that this is my last adventure. Perhaps I can still come back in time for your retirement ceremony. Oh, and this is for you."
The captain took out three potions of different colors from his bag and stuffed them into Catwoman's hands, instructing her:
“Drinking this when you are three, five, and seven months pregnant can make your baby healthier. The effect is similar to the Lazarus Pool that Damian often bathed in when he was a child.
But this has no side effects and can ensure that your son or daughter will be as healthy as the little lunatic."
"Come on, I hope he or she can have a peaceful life."
Selina touched her now fairly flat belly and pouted her lips and said:
"Don't go on a limb like me and Bruce or Damian, and don't listen to what scumbag Con tells you, there's no goddamn retirement ceremony.
I am only retiring temporarily, and will continue to wander when I feel like it.
After all, you know I can't sit still, and I need to practice my skills, so that I don't get into trouble when I take my son to the movies and get shot in Crime Alley and can't dodge the bullets."
Catwoman told a joke about the Bat Family without a care in the world, then put her hand on Mason's shoulder. She stared into Mason's eyes and said:
"Bruce and I have decided to name the child 'Mason' to commemorate the time we spent with you. Is that okay with you?"
"You have the mouth, and this is your child."
Mason shrugged and said:
"So what if I have an opinion? But if this is a girl, giving her this name will make her hate you for the rest of her life."
"Whatever she wants."
Catwoman waved her hand heroically and said:
"If you really have any objections, wait until she can beat me."
After that, she stepped forward on tiptoe and left an intimate kiss on Mason's forehead, saying:
“They say cats have nine lives. I think it’s okay for me to lend you one, little Mason. Remember to return it later… Well, never mind. You’ve saved me many times before. Just consider this as my repayment.
Just come back safely, okay?"
