Crimson Embers Chapter 41: Farewell to the God of Pure Love
"Didn't you two come back early to prepare for the wedding?"
An hour later, in the Afterlife bar in Gotham City in the afternoon, Mason looked at Harley and Quinn who were drunk in his office with a headache.
I don’t know what happy event made them drink so much. They were drunk and even the three dogs next to them were drunk.
Ciri, who came back with Mason, also had a headache. She knew that Harley and Quinn could be unreliable sometimes, but she didn't expect them to be so unreliable.
We had agreed to hold a ceremonial wedding for four people at 8 o'clock tonight, but there are less than four hours left and nothing has been prepared yet.
"Hey, sweetheart is back."
Harley was shaken awake, and looked at Mason with a silly smile through her drunken eyes. She cheered and rushed over, hugging Mason and chewing him like a koala, and said coquettishly:
"Don't be angry, today is my big day, you have to be happy... The wedding, uh, Quinn said she will prepare it, hey, the little naughty girl Quinn is getting married today too."
"Oh my god, you little drunk cat."
Mason pinched his nose and drove the drunk Harley down, and asked Ciri to take her to wash and sober up. He squatted down and called Quinn again, but Quinn was even more exaggerated and said in a daze that Harley had taken care of everything.
These two cuties are just blaming each other for the whole thing, then happily forgetting about it and throwing a bachelor party for their evil twin...
"You come in too!"
Veins bulged on the captain's forehead. He picked up the screaming Quinn without mercy and threw her into the bathroom, asking Ciri to help her sober up.
As soon as the door was closed, a scream was heard from inside, accompanied by Harley and Quinn's malicious giggles. It must be that the two brides-to-be dragged the third bride-to-be into the bathtub.
Alas, I’m tired, just let them have fun.
Mason scratched his head and looked at the messy office with some worry.
Fortunately, Mason always has solutions to all unexpected situations. He took out his communicator and called out. Soon, quantum teleportation was activated in the office. The good brothers of the Mason family came in talking and laughing, and brought a large number of Mark series armors that were painted pink and looked very festive.
"That's what happened."
The captain sighed and lamented his family's misfortune. He told his brothers about Harley and Quinn's mess up. The Masons looked at each other and knew what Mason was going to ask them to do.
But this is a happy event after all, so it’s not easy for everyone to complain... What the hell!
These guys immediately surrounded Mason and started to criticize him. After giving him a good beating, they angrily took a team of Mark armors and began to prepare for the wedding at the Next Life Bar.
Fortunately, Miss Huazi is still very reliable.
Although she was invited to the Isu world today to attend the completion ceremony of the Arasaka base there, she had already prepared all the supplies for her boss' wedding before leaving. With the bar staff and the bionic people busy together, four hours was definitely enough.
After all, Mason is a low-key person. He does not plan to hold a luxurious wedding like the old man and Catwoman's sister. After all, his last name is not Wayne, so where would he get so much money to squander?
"Come here, this is for you."
The alchemist pulled out a box of medicine from his bag and stuffed it into Mason's hand with a wink. Mason didn't even need to check to know what this bastard gave him.
He sighed and said:
"I'm only eighteen...I don't really need these. I appreciate your kindness, Majake."
"Stop talking nonsense. Just drink if I ask you to. We are brothers. How could I harm you?"
The alchemist patted Mason's shoulder with an unhappy look on his face and said:
“Look at your bad face. It seems that Ciri is also an incredible sword that can scrape bones and slay dragons. Harley and Quinn are enough for you, but you still want to increase your strength.
You really need to be careful, kid. Don’t die in an undignified situation and force us to collect your body.”
"Yes, yes."
The paramedic who came over put his finger on Mason's wrist in a sly and pretentious manner, and said in a drawn-out voice like an old Chinese doctor:
"Your kidneys are almost hollowed out. Young people may enjoy the taste of it, but they must exercise moderation. Your situation is very special. If you continue with this frequency, I'm afraid you will be dehydrated in less than half a month."
"That's enough, you two!"
Mason scolded with a wooden face.
The alchemist and the first aid technician chuckled and stopped teasing him. They ran side by side like two good brothers to participate in the Mason family's preparations for their brother's wedding.
The captain looked at the packet of tonic medicine in his hand and really wanted to throw it into the trash can, but after thinking about it, he put it away.
After all, it was his brother's good intentions, and what he said was not unreasonable...
Alas, the Slaanesh trend is like a flood and a beast, poisoning the new generation of promising young people. I was not like this before. Could it be that I was too tense before, and now I can't control myself when I suddenly let go?
And tonight is our wedding night, the four of us...
Hiss, it’s scary just thinking about it.
"Ahem, considering what you are thinking about right now, maybe I should send you an annihilation spell to physically crush you, a scumbag.
You know, I hate this kind of bad things the most. "
A cold voice suddenly sounded behind Mason, causing the distracted captain to turn around abruptly, and he saw the elusive pure love god Hei Qiyi looking at him with a deadly gaze.
People are not just talking.
If the two of them really didn't have a special relationship, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be any warning and a satisfying drama would have been staged where the pure love god beat up the scumbag.
No wonder Mason feels his scalp tingling every time he sees Black Strange. After all this time, he has met his nemesis.
"It's a special situation."
The captain said with a sad face:
"Although my behavior may seem like a scumbag, my wives and I are truly in love. As an expert in pure love, you should understand this best. This is really a special case...
Some men do have a lot of love, and even if they share it with many people, they will still have more than those boring men who are loyal to one person. "
"You don't have to explain. I'm not here to enforce the law. If you want to repent, you can go to a church or go to the police station to apply for chemical castration or something."
Hei Qiyi snorted in a sarcastic tone. After a few seconds of silence, he let out a long breath and said to Mason:
"I'm leaving now."
"Um?"
The captain blinked and immediately understood. He asked:
"Are you ready?"
"Well, with the help of the frog diagram, the casting time has been confirmed, and Ultron is helping calculate the energy required to surpass the absolute time point."
Hei Qiyi still had that sinister look on his face, but his tone was much softer at this moment. He said:
“That would be an astronomical figure. After all, the spell must be cast in the split second when the concept of time is broken and reorganized, so it is bound to cost a heavy price.
If we are not lucky, this may be the last time we meet.”
"No! I won't."
Mason shook his head and said:
“You saw the ending in Black Apple, which means you will definitely rekindle your relationship with Christine, but of course not with your current identity and attitude, because you will scare her.
But I guess you're ready for it.
You would give up all your power to regain her existence, right? As you said yourself, you have never forgotten your goal and motivation for seeking power.
You are probably the purest and most steadfast of all of us, and love... is such a beautiful thing."
"It is also a terrible thing. It is love that has turned me into the monster I am now."
Hei Qiyi shook his head.
He sighed and said:
"We are actually very similar, Mason. Your desire to reverse the Dark Ages and my desire to find Christine are both unreasonable and meaningless choices in the eyes of others.
But we all know what that means to us.
I know that I am not a easy person to deal with. At this farewell moment, I have to tell you that I thank you for your tolerance and understanding of me.
I thought you needed me more than I needed you.
But it turns out that the truth seems to be completely reversed.
Without Black Strange's help, Mason Cooper could still be the savior, but without Mason's help, Black Strange would have fallen into the shadow of the Lightless Sea.
Thank you, Mason, for helping me and Kristen."
"That's too formal."
Mason shook his head and said:
"We made each other successful... Alas, I really hope to see you and Kristen rekindle your relationship, it must be very touching, but unfortunately, I may not be able to see it with my own eyes.
I won't even be able to see the arrival of the new era with my own eyes.
But I believe we will meet again in the future, so I wish you a long and happy life together in advance."
"I'll lend you my good words."
Hei Qiyi did not ask about the deeper meaning of Mason's words. He pretended not to understand. After nodding goodbye, he disappeared into the shadows as quietly as he came.
Mason glanced down at his watch. There were only three hours left until his wedding. He had no more time to waste, so he quickly left the office and went to the next room to ask the tailor to make a suit for him as a groom. There was no need to work overtime on the wedding dresses for the brides, as the various dresses in Harry's collection were enough to handle the occasion.
As for Ciri, she had already picked out the most suitable clothes for herself.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. At eight o'clock in the evening, the hall of Laisheng Bar was full of people, but it was actually not that exaggerated.
Mason said it was a small ceremony and only invited members of Team K, plus at most the Bat Family and the Kryptonian Family. Apart from them, there was no other person.
The old Green Goblin and the others seemed to have acquiesced to this decision. They all knew that Mason had already said what he wanted to say to them at the Wayne family wedding.
To put it bluntly, that was the perfect day for us to say goodbye, and it was actually a bit awkward to meet again afterwards.
After all, Mason had completed his mission and responsibilities as promised. No matter what they planned to do in the coming days, Mason had no interest in participating.
Simple attire, simple guests, simple ceremony.
In the scene where Kevin, the acting slime monster, played more than 50 roles and took on all the responsibilities of a music group, singer and dancer, as the melodious and cheerful music sounded, Mason in a suit walked to the end of the red carpet accompanied by Bruce, and the members of Team K sitting in the hall immediately cheered.
Damian, Xiao Qiao and Franklin, three little bastards, kept whistling, and Blue Beetle was taking pictures crazily to send them to his girlfriend as a souvenir.
The people in the adult group were naturally more stable. Kang and Charles also turned into actors at this moment, wiping their tears with handkerchiefs as if their own sons had finally entered a major event in their lives.
This made the real Mason family members, Ms. Emma, and little Madeline in her arms, look unhappy. But these two had psychic powers. If the occasion was not wrong, the two psychic powers would be enough to turn Zack into a mentally retarded person.
“How wonderful.”
Next to Emma, Dr. Leslie also showed his emotions, and said to Emma with red eyes:
"Besides the fact that there were three wives, which was weird, it was the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to. They really loved each other, I could feel it."
"The fact that he has three wives is the biggest anomaly, this love-brained doctor aunt."
The White Queen, who should have been very happy, now complained with a wooden face:
"Although I lived a very... well, free life when I was young, this is not the happy moment I imagined for my son, not to mention that he has to marry two mentally ill people."
"Please stop talking."
The old wolf Logan, who brought his family to the wedding, relied on the fact that they were of the same generation and whispered to Emma:
"If you dare to stop this wedding, your son will turn against you on the spot. Emma, he finally accepted you. Don't make trouble. Harley and Quinn are good people. They really gave everything they had to Mason.
This is a match made in heaven.”
"Humph, you have no right to speak here."
Emma didn't buy it, but she finally sat in the mother's seat, holding her little daughter in her arms and watching the wedding in front of her with a gentle attitude.
The groom has appeared, and now it's the bride's turn.
Accompanied by Selena, Barbara and Cara, the three brides made a stunning appearance to the sound of music.
Harley wore her favorite red dress and still had blue stars on her cheeks as makeup. Quinn, contrary to her usual style, wore a blue wedding dress today, which formed a wonderful red and blue combination for the two of them.
They held hands like twin sisters and no longer fought with each other. Two clown dogs dressed like circus animals also put away their arrogance and played the role of flower girls.
Ciri, who appeared last, was the most peculiar. She was not wearing a wedding dress, but a black dress cloak that Mason had personally altered for her.
The mask of the Grand Master of the Star Society was adorned on her shoulders like a decoration, representing her identity, and in her hand she was holding the golden retriever left by Wick, like some kind of ritual.
Ciri looked up, and behind the cheering and clapping crowd, she vaguely saw two phantom figures standing next to Captain Jack.
Her parents were still recovering and deserved to rest up on the Bard.
But they still rushed over. Although they had not fully recovered their consciousness, the two ghosts still held hands and gave their daughter the most gentle blessings.
That's more than enough.
The music changed its tune, and as the wedding march progressed, the three bridesmaids held the hands of the three brides and walked to the end of the red carpet. Mason and Bruce stood there, their eyes full of tenderness.
"Little girl, you know if I had been braver, you wouldn't have any problems now, right?"
Catwoman, who was holding Harley's wrist, whispered to the crying little cutie:
"Sister, I am the first woman to enter Mason's heart..."
"But you're a coward."
Harley responded with tears in her eyes:
"You are a greedy kitten and you already have your prey. If you were brave enough, the baby in your belly would be named Cooper. Hey, I have to thank you for showing mercy, Aunt Selina~"
"Naughty kid!"
Catwoman snorted. Barbara, who was standing next to her, was still struggling with the topic that had just ruined her worldview. She asked Quinn:
"I still can't wrap my head around it. Tell me again, what are you going to do with Harley? Once one of you gets pregnant, you cancel the spell and clone yourself, so that when you separate again, both of you will have the baby?
Isn't this right?
I don’t think the tiger spell is supposed to work like this…”
Quinn smiled but said nothing.
The world was gone in her eyes, and only the gentle man in front of her remained. That was the destination she had been waiting for, even though she had claimed that she was a staunch non-marriageist...
Facts have proved that all the persistence is only because there is no reason to waver.
"Can you beat both of them by yourself?"
Supergirl Kara whispered to Shiri:
"No matter how I look at it, I feel that you are at an absolute disadvantage in this war."
"No, I already won, Kara."
The hunter smiled and whispered:
“Harley and Quinn can accompany him until their love dies, and I can share life with him. Now it’s not me challenging them, but they are joining forces to challenge me.
But why be so serious about it?
This isn’t a war anyway…”
"Red tape be damned! I can't wait! I hereby declare, by the unquestioned authority, that Harley, Quinn, Cirilla, and Mason Cooper are husband and wife!
Stay together forever and never separate.
So, the bride can kiss the groom!"
Harley suddenly screamed, she shook off Catwoman's hand and rushed towards Mason, screaming as usual.
The captain opened his arms in astonishment, helplessly but with a smile on his face, and caught her perfectly. Then the two of them kissed in front of everyone. Quinn on the left and Ciri on the right also kissed Mason on the cheek with their red lips. This scene made Sister Ka, who was guest playing the role of a priest, not know what to say for a moment.
But in a situation like this, all we need to do is smile, right?
The crowd erupted in cheers, especially from Bizarro and Charles.
Ertong tried to restrain himself at first and maintain his cool guy image, but after being kicked from behind by the eldest master who called himself his "brother-in-law", he just let go and started whistling.
That's right!
This is the crazy girl Harley that everyone knows. How could she possibly attend the wedding obediently?
"Quinn and I are only wearing skirts."
Amid the cheers, Harley whispered in Mason's ear:
"The same goes for that little wildcat Ciri. Don't even think about sleeping tonight, you little bastard! We've been waiting for this wedding for so long... I'm going to punish you severely!"
