Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 6: The Commander's Household Affairs: Final Preparations Before Cleaning Up the House
"We discussed it, but you can see we couldn't come up with a definite solution other than arguing."
Facing Mason's question, Daqun shook his cool long hair and sighed:
“Although there are many people in my personality who are skilled in using psychic powers, they are all complete bastards. They are worried that wearing a brain wave enhancement machine will lead to a massacre on the spiritual level.
The 7.0 model used exclusively by the Supreme Professor has a terrifying increase in mental power. If my personality uses it, it will immediately cause an imbalance in strength.
If he used this power for internal cleansing, my three hundred or so personalities would immediately fall into a terrifying battle royale."
Da Qun smacked his forehead and lamented to Mason:
“Those guys don’t even try to hide their intentions!
As the dominant personality, I cannot suppress them when they dominate the body, so if you ask me to give you an answer, my answer is, don't let me use it.
It's my own business if there's blood flowing through my brain, but it would be terrible if I caused more trouble.
Choose someone you can trust.
It must be trustworthy!"
This Utopia's double red stick is a very serious reminder:
"The professor's brainwave enhancer 7.0 is equivalent to a superhuman potion on the spiritual level. If it falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions, it can instantly change the thinking of the creatures in the entire world or even a small galaxy.
And this rewriting is irreversible!
This is a very, very scary thing.
Professor Supreme's ability to hold the position of leader of Utopia is not just due to his qualifications and prestige. Have I told you that he can use his psychic power to help me suppress the personality in my body?
I am no match for him in this regard, which shows how powerful this thing is."
"Um……"
Mason frowned and took out the brain wave enhancer 7.0 that Professor Supreme had given him from his bag. He felt that this thing had become a hot potato.
"Looks like I'll have to make some changes to it."
The captain said that Daqun was not very interested in these "crafts", so he disappeared from the office and started wandering around the New World again.
Mason sat in the chair and looked at the instrument in his hand. Soon an information label popped up:
The fourth generation brainwave enhancer 7.0 iteration
Quality: Engineering Artifact, Immortal Craftsmanship
Features: Mind Enhancement·Consciousness Copy·Diamond Key·User Authority Lock [Only for Mutants]
Effect:
1. Consciousness Capture:
When a mutant with psychic powers wears this item, his psychic power will be increased to the limit of what the body can bear.
The brainwave enhancement machine driven by the Shi'ar Empire's antimatter engine will mark the location of all X-gene fragments within the user's perception range, and allow the user to perfectly back up the consciousness of the fragment owner after reaching level 3 control.
hint!
The consciousness replication backup function requires the brain wave enhancement machine to be connected to the diamond consciousness storage device.
2. God of the Heart:
This item has been mentally encoded by Supreme Professor Charles Xavier, and contains all the techniques for using psychic powers that the Supreme Professor has mastered, and is pre-loaded with a learning tutorial.
This item has a built-in safety lock, and the user can only unlock the next stage of skills after reaching the standard through his own attempts.
Long-term wearing of this item will effectively develop the potential of psychic mutants and help stabilize their overly large psychic powers.
warn!
Mutants who have not yet reached the required level of psychic power or do not possess psychic power should not use this item, as it is very likely to cause permanent damage to the brain.
Maker: Mutant "Craftsman"
Item Description: If you think that time stop is not exciting enough, then you should try this thing. Brainwashing is just what evil people like us like! Although for the powerful me, only a look or mental suggestion can make the idiots in the world go crazy, so I don't need this thing.
hint!
All production drawings of Brainwave Amplifier 1.0-7.0 have been included. To modify you need Engineering Lv10 and master the knowledge related to "Antimatter Engine".
"Engineer! Are you done?"
Mason took out his cell phone and made a call, shouting to the other end:
"Come over when you're done. I have a job for you that will surely interest you. Also, how much do you know about the 'antimatter engine'?"
“I haven’t touched it, but if you have the real thing, I only need to disassemble it once to fully understand it.”
Engineer Mason replied unhappily:
"I'm currently making equipment for the Iron Queen. Look at the kind of customers you introduced to my shop. I asked her for money, but she almost stabbed me!
Fortunately, I had a world amplifier modified with Pym particles to shrink her into a tiny bean, otherwise I would have been hacked to death by her.
What the hell!
These aliens are fucking savage!"
"Well, she doesn't need any money anyway, you are humiliating her."
Mason curled his lips, and when he saw his clone was in trouble, he became happy and said:
“Then I’ll send you the blueprint of this thing, you can take a look at it first and then come over to modify it. I’m going to add a remote operation lock and exemption whitelist inside it.
In addition, this thing has great functionality. I decided to use it as a prototype to modify Lao Wan's helmet. Now the enemies I face are getting more and more outrageous, and I have to arm my mind as well."
"Okay, just throw that thing in the box, I'll be there when I'm done."
The engineer responded:
"I think it should be ready before you leave tonight, but who are you planning to have with it? Do you want me to personalize it for the user or something?
For example, repaint it? Or change the shell to one that better suits the user's preferences?"
"Make it as luxurious as possible."
Mason placed the brainwave enhancer in an Isu mechanical box that only he and Engineer Mason could open, and placed it on the desk. He then said to the other end of the phone:
“It needs to be feminine, look expensive, and be paired with luxury clothing, and finally be embellished with an inscription on the shell.
Oh, by the way, remember to write a sentence on the inside of the shell, just write 'To the best mother in the world'..."
“…”
Hearing this request, Engineer Mason fell silent.
After several seconds, he complained:
"You are such a filial son! The first person you think of when facing such a dangerous situation is your mother? Aren't you afraid that Emma won't be able to control this thing and become a fool?"
"Isn't that better?"
The captain stretched out his voice and said:
“I think that way, my relationship with her might become closer, so just do as I say, and if anything really happens, I will support Emma for the rest of her life.
She has the strongest psychic power among all the mutants I know except for the horde, and I believe she will definitely be willing to help.
But what would Emma use such a mind amplifier for? Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
You don't want to see me being rewritten by my mind into a mama's boy, do you? What do you think are the chances of her doing this to me? Believe me, she will do it with a smile on her face, I am 100% sure of it. "
"Alas, your family relationship is really complicated and twisted. Fortunately, I don't have parents..."
The engineer complained and then hung up the phone.
Mason took a look at the completed action plan at hand, sent it to the K-Men who were already assembled, then stood up and left the office.
As expected, when he pushed the door open, he saw Emma, the White Queen, leaning against the wall, staring at him with her arms folded, expressionless.
"You have no conscience, you damn child!"
Emma screamed and swung her fist and hit Mason on the head, shouting as she hit him:
"Don't you think you should have discussed this dangerous matter with me in advance? I have seen Professor X's original version of the brainwave enhancer and even sat on it to experience it myself.
I don't want that terrible thing to happen again.
Not to mention the improved version in your hand. I suspect my brain will explode the moment I put it on. So has the mother-son relationship between us become distorted to this extent?
How have I ever let you down?
I'm trying my best to be a good mother!"
Mason helplessly watched his mother, a dramatic actress, going crazy, crying but without any tears in her eyes. After she finally calmed down, Mason spoke:
"I don't feel comfortable leaving that thing to other people, and you don't know what the Utopia Cradle Project is about, right?"
The captain took Emma's wrist and led her towards the garden on the platform of Osborne Tower, while telling the White Queen all the details of the Cradle Plan.
The two stepped out under the blue sky and blue sea.
In the warm sunshine, Mason pulled a chair over and placed it by the garden. After Emma sat down angrily, he stood beside the chair and concluded to her:
"Professor Supreme has designed a perfect operating system. The brainwave enhancement machine is the key to launching the Cradle Project. Possessing it is equivalent to having the power of life and death over all the mutants in Utopia.
Anyone who can lead such a force to revive from a ruined civilization will surely be revered as a god-like figure by the mutants .
Who can resist such temptation?
I have to ask you to take the risk, Emma, because I can no longer afford the cost of an unnecessary chaos at this time."
Mason looked at his mother, and in the sunlight he put his hand on Emma's shoulder.
All of the above are explained from the perspective of interests, but Mason's words then turned to the personal level. He was silent for a moment and said to the White Queen:
"I know that you have been trying to reconcile the relationship between me and Madeline, even though you have never met her. Just as you stubbornly regard me as your biological son, you also regard the girl you have never met as your daughter.
She is in a bad situation now...
If you want to help her, if you want her to have a family that can show her kindness like me, and help her escape from the increasingly dark life, you can at least talk to her, right?
As the out-of-control Phoenix force eroded her mind, only a mental strength as strong as that of the Supreme Professor could restore her sanity from the chaos.
I know you are conflicted too.
You are worried that if Madeleine shows up again and tries to interfere with my work, I will kill her myself. I admit that this possibility is very high, so if you want to help her, you have to face her with me."
Mason looked into Emma's eyes and said very seriously:
"Whether as a sibling or a mother, the brainwave enhancer can help you accomplish this, so I ask you to take it with you.
I will do everything in my power to keep you safe.”
"That means I'll have to travel in a wheelchair from now on."
The White Queen was obviously convinced, but she still pouted and said stubbornly:
“It’s like the end of life for all Professor X, and the wheelchair is the only companion that accompanies them to the end.
You don't understand that when the mental power is too strong and exceeds a certain limit, the physical body becomes a constraint on the existing spiritual body.
Alas, I was a person who just wanted to enjoy life.
But now, I am also wrapped up in these boring things, being dragged towards an ending that I could never have imagined.
If anyone else asked me to help him do something at the cost of paralysis, I would blow his head off without hesitation.
But if it were you..."
Emma raised her head, and in the garden where the sea breeze was blowing and the sun was shining, she reached out and touched Mason's cheek. All the dissatisfaction and resistance in her eyes disappeared in an instant.
Instead, there was a touch of helpless pampering.
She said:
"What mother would refuse her child's request?
This is your career, and I should naturally support you with all my strength. What's more, you would let go of a person who is full of sin in your eyes again and again because of my pleadings.
But I want you to tell me the truth, what impression do you have of Madeleine?"
“Is this question important?”
Mason asked back, and Emma nodded stubbornly and said:
"I always have to do more to prepare for the family I'm learning to protect. I have to know the answer to that, if you're willing to answer it."
"There's nothing I can't say."
The captain turned around and walked to the garden of the tower. Looking at the endless sea and the seabirds dancing on the waves, he could see an island looming in the distance, which was covered with lush forests.
That was the territory of the former Forbidden Forest that extended into the New World. It was said that the young wizards of Hogwarts were planning to move here and rebuild their school on that island.
In this new landscape, Mason organized his words, and in the warm sunshine, he began to speak:
“When we first met, I felt she was hopeless because she tried to rewrite my heart the moment we met, making me give up all my principles and stand on her side.
Now that I think about it, this might be the bad character she inherited from you.
I am angry.
I thought it was just another dark bug that had to be defeated, and I was prepared for that, but during our second meeting in Utopia, I learned about Madeline's past.
From the Supreme Professor, I learned about her growth trajectory, and I saw that she suffered the most terrible pain in the world when she was only nine years old.
I still thought she was hopeless, but I began to feel pity for her.”
Mason paused, and under Emma's gaze from behind, he said:
“Madeleine is a bad person, there’s no doubt about that.
I will not generously forgive her actions in this era just because of her past experiences. Maybe it sounds a bit pedantic, but in my opinion, the pain I have endured cannot be a reason to hurt others.
but……
But I am willing to give her another chance. She must receive enough punishment, and perhaps she can still return to us before she is completely annihilated by the uncontrolled Phoenix Force. "
The captain turned around, looked at Emma, and said:
"Am I being too arrogant to think this way? Give her a chance or something. Maybe she doesn't even need it."
"No, she does, she just doesn't know she needs help."
Emma rose and stood beside her son, and said:
"Your kindness is not at all arrogant, my child. You already have the power to control the birth, aging, sickness and death of others, but you never use it.
I never thought that I, who had done so much evil in the first half of my life, would have such a touchingly kind-hearted offspring in the second half of my life. Perhaps Madeline is not the only one who needs help.
And me.
Mason...
If it is really difficult, if she continues to be malicious towards you and refuses to repent, I swear to end her life with my own hands, just as I gave her life in the first place. "
The White Queen put her arm around her son's shoulders and rested her head on Mason's shoulder. As the wind blew her long golden hair, she said:
"After all, even family members have to have a limit to their willfulness. This is true for both her and me. Thank you for your kindness to us, son."
