Volume 3: The Nameless Chapter 80 You are the fat pigeon we released
"run!"
There was a dead silence in the Great Temple until the swordsman lady shouted and woke everyone up.
As expected of being one of the three great mentors, she moved very quickly even when she was seriously injured. She grabbed Barbara's right hand with her left hand and wanted to pull Mason, but a golden light shot from above forced her to hold Ertong's shoulders. She flashed and disappeared in the great temple with the two guys.
Zha Kang hurriedly activated the teleportation rune he had left outside the temple.
The dark wizard still had some sense of loyalty and wanted to take Mason with him, but the strange rebound of the golden light almost prevented him from escaping, and he could only disappear on the spot in reluctance.
Mason could clearly feel that the demigod of this world who appeared above him was locking onto him.
He didn't dare to act rashly, but the good news was that Mason would have "strong reinforcements" now.
Phoenix Fox, who was grilling virus skewers, saw a mysterious person appear above his head and throw weapons at Mason, so he screamed and flew up to fight with her.
It also doesn't really like Mason.
But this guy brought himself out of the doomsday world and gave it sweet flames for nirvana and rebirth. It established some kind of connection with Mason, so it couldn't allow Mason to die here.
The legendary creature's disruption gave the targeted captain a chance to catch his breath.
Taking advantage of the fire above his head, he rushed to Mr. Hunter's side, grabbed her wrist and helped her up despite her injury.
In this situation, the girl dressed as a man did not say hypocritically that she did not like being touched. Seeing that Team K was still there and Wesker seemed to be about to die, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
"pay close attention!"
She said this in a hoarse voice, then looked up at the local demigod who was interacting with the phoenix in the rainstorm in the broken temple above her head. She waved her hand, a crack with silver light splashing in front of her opened, and she and Mason walked into it and disappeared there.
But they didn't get far.
Amid the increasingly violent coughing, a sudden flash of silver light appeared somewhere outside the wilderness, allowing Mason and the hunter to appear in the heavy rain at night.
Mason glanced at the sky.
The rain, which had just weakened a little, now became even louder, as if highlighting his current dire situation.
He glanced at his boss who was coughing violently, pursed his lips, grabbed her waist and picked her up, then quickly rushed to a hidden crack in the rocks in front of him, took out a golden cup from his bag and handed the purified healing potion inside to the hunter.
He said:
"Drink it, it's good for you."
"it's useless."
Mr. Hunter was very weak at the moment, and he could make a very neutral hoarse voice without even disguising his voice. She covered her abdomen and said:
"This is not an ordinary injury. That woman has locked my self-healing ability in some way. It could be poison or some damn Isu heritage.
Did you...did you unlock the golden apple?"
"Well, I also got a lot of information that you must be very interested in."
Mason didn't hide it.
He glanced at the frighteningly dark night in the rainstorm and said:
"But I'm more curious about what happened to you? Were you ambushed? That's not possible, right?"
"You have no idea how much trouble this world has caused."
The hunter leaned against the narrow crack in the rock, took out a bottle of amber potion and drank it. However, not only did it not heal herself, but some conflicting power in her body caused her to spit out blood again.
But the Grand Master had strong vitality, and spitting out just this little bit of blood was not fatal.
She coughed and explained:
"Before I came over, I saw a beam of light emitted from here penetrate the projection core of the World Gate in the Star Castle. If we think about the worst-case scenario, at least one-third of the vassal worlds will be temporarily disconnected this time.
They must have done it on purpose, they must have planned it in advance.
They know us very well. I even suspect that some local assassins have disguised themselves and entered the Star Castle for on-site reconnaissance. This is a precise and deadly trap...
I was attracted to the golden apples.
The warlock must have gotten some hints of key information. If we hadn't been vigilant enough, we would be the ones trapped here now.
But the result is not bad.
The assassins in this world are very clear about what kind of response their actions will bring, and even our plan to forcibly cross the border to rescue people is within their consideration. "
"And the swordsman."
Mason added:
"I rescued a pioneer under the swordsman on the road. She said her name was Mysterio."
"Um?"
The hunter was stunned by Mason's message. Although blocked by the starry sky mask, Mason could feel her sudden change of emotions.
He frowned and said:
"What? Is there a problem?"
"No, it's fine."
The hunter didn't seem to want to discuss this issue. She covered her waist and abdomen and continued:
"It's a little late to say this now. That local demigod is very strong. Mason, I don't want to pretend that I can solve the problem. The fact is that in a one-on-one situation I have a chance of winning, but it's slim.
And it's hard to take care of you.
You have to bring back the unlocked information, you hear me?"
She said to Mason:
"It turns out that the Isu civilization of this world did leave behind something incredible. Just this device that can sever the connection between this world and the parallel world system is worth the risk.
Although in my opinion this is still a tricky and evasive response, but if this device can be spread to other worlds... think about it, Mason, if we can save one more person, our work will not be in vain.
Please wait a moment.
I'll find a way to get you out once I recover."
"What about my teammates?"
Mason said:
"What about you? I'm going back alone? No! I refuse!"
"It's already like this, and you still expect this to end successfully?"
The hunter coughed and scolded:
"Should I praise you for always being full of hope? Or should I say you are naive? I understand that people who value feelings cannot accept this kind of price at first, but you will get used to it slowly."
"Don't say 'price' in front of me!"
Mason scoffed at this argument, saying:
"I never intended to treat every player I recruited as cannon fodder or a 'price' to be paid when necessary. That's not my style.
As for whether it is perfect or not, you will know only until the end.
I have an idea…”
"Whoosh"
Before Mason could finish his words, a spear shining with golden light flew out from the rain in the dark night, brushed past the two of them with a bang, and was nailed to the stone wall behind them.
The hunter's mask was completely shattered as she dodged the fatal blow.
Under Mason's surprised gaze, her silver hair scattered. She dropped the sword in her hand that was shining with red light, drew out a slender black two-handed sword with her backhand, and was about to flash out to fight with the incoming opponent.
When he stood up, he also reminded:
"Hurry up! I'll hold her back and bring the message back... Bang"
A blow from behind interrupted the hunter's words.
Mason behind her pulled out the Isu spear that was stuck in the stone wall. The blessing from the Isu bloodline allowed the spear to unleash its full power in his hand.
The blow was delivered with a very standard club, just as striking as the one that Mason used to save Catwoman that night in Gotham City, and the hunter, who was attacked from both sides, had no idea that the attack was coming from behind.
She felt dizzy and fell to the ground. The last scene was Mason with an expressionless face, squatting down with a spear in his hand and stabbing a needle into her neck.
If it were in its prime, such a sneak attack would never succeed against a hunter with built-in flash.
But this is an exception.
Under the influence of a larger dose of bat sedative, the hunter fell into a coma.
Mason took a look at her face, which was always hidden behind the mask. The slightly smoky eyes and the iconic shallow knife scar on her cheek confirmed her identity.
Mason wasn't too surprised by this.
He stood up, leaning on the Isu spear of light in his hand, and looked at the pursuer who appeared in the rain and walked through the darkness. The latter was wearing a black hood and holding a broken spear, looking murderous.
But she didn't attack immediately.
Perhaps she was surprised by Mason's backstabbing of his own people.
"Cassandra!"
Mason threw the spear in his hand to the ground, spread his hands, and said:
"We need to talk!"
"What identity do you have to talk to me?"
A very nice and magnetic female voice penetrated the rain curtain, and she said indifferently:
"A hound of the Star Order? Or a traitor who betrayed his friends for fame? You know, just because you betrayed your friends doesn't mean I'm going to show you mercy."
"Don't pretend. I don't believe you can't feel the power flowing through my body."
Mason was not afraid.
He walked out of the rock cleft where he had been hiding, and as the rain pelted down upon him, he said:
"I am speaking to you as Hephaestus of the Isu. If that is not enough, then I will also speak to you as a rebel of the Star Society!
My teammates and I killed an A-class personnel who was ordered to find secrets and wait for opportunities to start wars in your world. This was not the first time I slaughtered these hounds.
We also have the ability to shut down the Aurora System in the Great Temple, restart the World Gate, and bring you a war.
But we didn't do that.
I think this is enough to prove that I am not talking nonsense, and I didn't knock my superior unconscious in order to sell her to you, but just didn't want her to hear our subsequent conversation.
That’s all.”
The pursuer in the rain did not answer.
After a few seconds of orderly silence, she flipped her fingers and put the fierce broken spear into her sleeve, and glanced at the unconscious hunter at Mason's feet.
She said:
"Take her with you and follow me."
"And my teammates!"
Mason added:
"They mean no harm to you, and they don't deserve to be hurt!"
"That's not up to me."
The pursuer Cassandra said without turning back:
"The assassins have lost their comrades, and they are filled with anger. You are the last link in this eradication campaign. I have no reason to stop those hidden blades that pierce the night.
Unless you can give me a reasonable explanation."
"puff"
John Wick, who was hidden in the suitcase, was thrown out and fell in the rain in a very embarrassing state. Mason said:
"We didn't harm any of your members. The assassins' anger cannot be vented on us."
Cassandra glanced at the Assassin Saint who was unconscious but not injured. She nodded and gave instructions to her subordinates who were hunting her through the special communicator.
Then he picked up the unconscious Wick with one hand like a chicken. Mason also carried the hunter on his back and followed the local demigod back to the rift of the great temple in the increasingly violent night rain.
This place has been surrounded by the assembled Assassins and Templars.
When Mason returned, a group of people wearing multiple protective suits were cleaning up the last remains of Wesker, who was burned to death by the Phoenix flames.
They used the most advanced protective equipment to collect the flesh and blood of those who were dead but still had some vitality, and loaded them into helicopters parked outside. Some assassin saints wearing black and white robes guarded key locations, and some Templar saints wearing blood-red robes with crosses on their bodies guarded the important roads with heavy guards.
They really united!
Two forces that have been hostile to each other for more than two thousand years have joined together just to strangle the third party that represents chaos.
Entering the temple area, Mason saw the captured Zha Kang and Er Tong at a glance. They were placed in some kind of biological cabin. Barbara and Miss Mysterio were missing, probably still on the run.
Cassandra in the temple waved her hand, and the staff here immediately filed out respectfully, making the place quiet soon.
But Mason was sure that those murderous guys were standing outside the door sharpening their knives. If he said something wrong, they would be happy to execute him, an outsider, on behalf of the demigod of this world.
But sitting back and waiting for death is not Mason's style.
He looked at the place where he had fought before, and saw his own power armor that had been burned black and cleared out by the armed personnel of this world.
By the way, I saw a phoenix egg stored in a glass jar...
All right.
Poor Fox was reborn and turned back into a phoenix egg in less than ten minutes. Isn't this a waste of his life?
"As expected of the legendary god-killing hero."
Mason grumbled quietly:
"It took less than five minutes to kill my phoenix, which is a legendary creature."
“When I was young, I killed at least ten legendary creatures, if not a dozen. You have no idea how crazy the followers of Artemis, the goddess of hunting, were back then.
It's just a juvenile phoenix now, how difficult can it be?"
In response to Mason's complaints, Cassandra, who was no longer in a fighting state, spoke in a much kinder tone.
She reached out, grasped her hood and pushed it back, revealing her face, which had never aged in two thousand years of watching over the world, to Mason.
The iconic braids hung down on her chest, which made Mason want to complain again, "Madam, your hairstyle is really dangerous."
"Go ahead and try to buy a way out for you and your companions with sweet words."
Sister Ka folded her arms and leaned against the stone pillar in a very casual manner, looking up at the pale and shining lights flying on the top of the activated temple.
She knew exactly what it was.
She had seen plenty of it in her long life.
Although humans ostensibly ruled the world, Ancients like her knew that the influence of the Isu had never faded throughout the history of this world.
Without these ancient objects, the world would be just ordinary.
And the most ridiculous thing is that in the eyes of the younger descendants guarding outside, Cassandra herself is actually one of these ancient and legendary creatures.
Although both the Assassins and the Knights Templar have long passed the stage of god worship, Sister Ka herself is well aware that there are still many young people in the current organization who worship her as a real "god".
But she had no intention of correcting any of that.
Time will always smooth out everything for her, whether it is fanaticism or vigilance.
"Team K is spies."
Mason said frankly:
"We are undercover agents sent by our world into the Star Society. Just like your world is resisting the invasion, we have also put the threat of the Star Society on the agenda and successfully thwarted one of their secret pollution operations.
I think this alone is enough for us to leave here safely."
"Yeah?"
Sister Ka didn't comment. She waved her hand and a suspended stone pillar fell from the sky to her side. She glanced at Mason and said:
"What are your world coordinates?"
Mason skillfully reported the coordinates of the Gotham world. Sister Ka executed a search program on the stone in front of her, and the World Tree host clone of the Great Temple quickly gave the search results.
She said:
"Well, according to the database we copied from Star Castle, you did have a failed invasion. It seems you didn't lie."
"You have infiltrated to this extent?"
Mason raised his eyebrows and said:
"Even the Star Society's database was hacked? This is too much. Many A-level worlds cannot do this."
"Don't forget the power characteristics of this world, C-class personnel Mason Cooper. Lurking, disguise and spying are the specialties of assassins. What's more, we also have the technology left by the Isu."
Sister Ka waved her hand and said:
"We prepared for this operation in less than 12 hours for 12 months. The whole world was revolving around this plan. It is not surprising to have achieved this.
But this is our limit.
We can only cause them some damage but cannot completely eradicate that dark and chaotic organization."
She stared at Mason with deep and sharp eyes, a scrutiny condensed from the wisdom and experience of an ancient who had lived for more than two thousand two hundred years.
I have to say, it's extremely stressful.
After a few seconds, she waved her hands and said:
"You may go, Mason Cooper. If you are still here after this shock is over, I hope you will send a messenger back to visit us."
"Is it that simple?"
Mason raised his eyebrows and said:
"I have prepared many arguments to persuade you to be kind."
"How hard can this be?"
Sister Ka snorted and said:
"Anyone with eyes can see that we need help. Whether we want to continue fighting the Star Society or seek survival in the end of the world, we need help.
We find no fellow travelers in the Star Society.
We tried, but there were no qualified companions there.
Your world may be worth considering, so we extend kindness and expect a response.
And you, Mason..."
Sister Ka reached out her hand and nodded at Mason's heart. She said:
"You are the dove we released."
