Volume 4: The Last Day Chapter 57 Boys and girls, rush forward!
Entering a chaotic world where war is raging means danger, and this danger has just passed by Team K in a very real way.
Talia and her team's carefully prepared weapons had no .
Mason, who was hiding in the shell pit, took the spear stained with the blood of the shark king and checked it. Soon an information label popped up:

"The doomsday battle between the Amazons and the Atlanteans? Wait, I seem to have seen this plot somewhere before."
Mason raised his eyebrows and immediately had a bad feeling.
He bandaged the shark king's wound skillfully and gave him a large gulp of healing potion before standing up and looking around.
The offensive and defensive battle surrounding the island is gradually coming to an end. Although the Amazon warriors guarding here are very brave, their numbers are too small.
However, although the Atlanteans on the opposite side clearly had the advantage, they found it quite difficult to advance the war when faced with this group of female wolves who were ready to die and shouted the names of the gods and fought to the death.
One side has the advantage in quality, the other side has the advantage in quantity, and now a wonderful balance has been formed. If external forces do not intervene, the two sides will probably have to fight for a long time before the winner is determined.
The confrontation and fighting between the two sides of the war made Mason narrow his eyes. The captain of Team K's famously useful brain worked quickly and soon he came up with a not-so-good idea.
After Talia and Deathstroke cooperated with each other to kill the last Atlantis armed pursuer and retreated, Mason stood up and shouted to everyone:
"Ladies stand on my left, men on my right, quick!"
He turned around and shouted.
The group of people didn't understand what was going on, but they quickly split into two teams according to Mason's request.
Mason threw the various Amazon weapons he pulled out of King Shark to Talia, Selina and Harley Quinn, and then took out his magic briefcase and opened it.
He picked up a storage rack that looked like a children's toy and threw it out.
The voodoo shrinking spell was released, and in an instant a whole mechanical wall hung with various individual weapons and several sets of armor of different styles appeared in front of everyone.
He put his own Isu Vanguard Armor on Hari, the weakest person here, and gestured to start changing clothes. At the same time, he said to the others:
"Now for the new plan! Listen everyone, we must fight to the bitter end here now... so that we can escape."
"Who are you fighting?"
Talia, who was covered in dust, threw the broken samurai sword aside, grabbed a black double-barreled shotgun from the weapon rack in front of her, and asked:
"There are two groups of people outside. We must join one side to have a chance of winning!"
"We have two groups of people too, Talia."
Mason coughed while covering his stuffy chest, threw the previously seized Lasso of Truth and a bottle of black spray paint to Catwoman, and turned back to Talia and said:
"We joined both sides at the same time, attacked each other at the same time, and finally gained friendship from both sides. It's time to test your acting skills and coordination, my new and old teammates.
I'll give you five minutes to change your clothes, then we'll take action!
If anyone has a better idea, please bring it up. Team K has always been democratic."
No one answered. No one else had Mason's brains. They were still in shock from the crazy alien world. So at Mason's urging, everyone in the shell pit got busy.
The danger of this world is just as Ciri warned before sending the mission. Although it is rated as B-level because it is on the verge of self-destruction, its power level is obviously a real Beyond A-level.
In order to barely bring Team K's strength to the same level as the enemy, Mason "generously" contributed the little gadgets he made during his daily practice.
The mechanical wall he threw out was covered with various 2077-style firearms and explosives, ranging from large-caliber kinetic revolvers to self-aiming smart weapons that require a prosthetic link to use.
These "crafts" that are full of the art of killing and have been tested in another world made the eyes of Death Shooter, who had just joined Team K and was still in the "internship period", light up as soon as they were taken out.
This villain, who possessed superb shooting skills and a talent for firearm adaptation, did not need Mason's explanation at all, and quickly selected the weapon that best suited him.
A set of assassin armor that allows for easy movement, plus two replica kinetic pistols called "King Kong", a high-tech heavy sniper rifle called "Nakomata" that can be quickly charged and shoot through the lens, and a kinetic shotgun called "Tactician" for quick counterattacks.
At the same time, he took a dozen engineering grenades filled with fear gas and advanced biological cutting grenades and hung them on his weapon belt, becoming fully armed in an instant.
"Hold on!"
Mason did not waste any time and gave his teammates a temporary treatment while everyone was changing clothes.
He diluted the bone-growing spirit for treating fractures into a syringe on the spot and said something to Deadshot. The latter was about to say that as a top villain, he had seen all kinds of storms.
Do you need to endure getting an injection?
It just hurts, come on, experiencing pain is a required course for being a villain. I didn’t even cry when Superboy broke my sternum!
However, when the bone-growing spirit was injected into the wound of his broken left arm, the excruciating pain made the super shooter's face turn purple.
This is not just ordinary pain!
The pain caused by the magic potion was difficult to overcome with one's will. Even Daredevil couldn't withstand it, but it was very effective. After a dozen seconds, his broken arm was restored to its original state.
For a shooter who makes a living with his hands, this is a blessing from heaven.
"Thanks, Captain."
Deadshot flexed his arms and whistled at Mason.
Mason gave the old black man who looked like Will Smith a polite but distant smile, then turned to look at Bane who was picking and choosing.
He reached into his bag and pulled out a box of temporary reinforcements of various colors, handed it to Bane and said:
“If you need close combat, just pick one and inject it into your veins. These are all effective immediately, but don’t forget to record the effects and side effects of various enhancements.
I will improve the enhancer later. "
This simply wrote the word "experimental subject" clearly on his forehead, but Bane, who was wearing a tattered cloak to cover his body, did not refuse.
Since being "forced to detoxify" by Mason in the Batcave last time, Bane's body has recovered to a healthy .
But he occasionally missed the feeling of being extremely powerful under the influence of "Titan Toxin".
The most important thing is that Bane has been accustomed to relying on drugs to fight in the past twenty years, so it’s no big deal for him to be a "drug testing tool" for Mason now.
He inserted these convenient and practical alchemical enhancements in syringes into his battle suit's armed belt. Seeing Mason about to leave, the big assassin mercenary thought for a moment and whispered:
"Do you still have that... um, that... I mean, something strong enough?"
"Um?"
This request made Mason look back in surprise.
He looked at Bane, who removed the mask from under his hood, revealing his face, which had turned gray and ominous under the curse of the unicorn's blood.
Just like Voldemort in the movie, his eyebrows, beard and hair have all disappeared. If he was not in good health, this face alone would give people a creepy feeling of "white ghost".
Bane pointed to his strange cheek and said to Mason in his very special voice:
"You used the blood of the unicorn to harm me. I should hate you, Mason, but in the quietest moments of every night in Arkham, I can hear the voice of sin coming from my soul.
Because I am stained with unclean blood, I can examine the sins of the past.
I don't feel guilty.
However, the painful feeling of "tasting" sin fascinated me, as if I had returned to the place where I grew up, the most vivid primitive impulse to fight for survival...
If this is a curse, then I think I can turn it into a strength.
Give me some more, Mason.
The blood of those sinful powers will allow me to discover my true power."
"You are crazy!"
Mason shook his head in amazement and said:
"Others were too busy hiding from the contaminated unicorn blood, but you took the initiative to approach it. How I wish your drug addiction to fighting could be cured, Bane.
But now it seems that your brain, which has been poisoned by toxins for many years, is really beyond repair."
He took out a large amount of potions made with unclean blood from his bag and handed them to Bane. These medicines had excellent healing effects, but because they were stained with unclean blood, they also had terrible curses.
Mason had no place to use them, and originally wanted to keep them and use them to trick people later, but now that Bane wanted them, he might as well dispose of them as waste.
This was an exchange that satisfied both parties.
He raised his head and glanced around. Lady Catwoman had used black alchemical spray paint to paint the Lasso of Truth in her hand into her favorite deep black color, and also tied a whip to it to make it very similar to the cat-tail whip she was used to.
Harley is wearing Mason's Isu Vanguard Armor and is currently applying red and blue spray paint to the helmet.
Deathstroke has also been armed.
He didn't take many weapons, just a set of black vanguard armor and two replica Isu swords from Mason's collection, as well as two pistols for close combat.
This is obviously a guy who is very confident in his skills.
Like Batman, he believes in his own skills rather than external forces. In addition, Deathstroke is a genuine superhuman.
This guy completed self-enhancement a long time ago, and it is said that his brain development is over 90%, which makes most enhancements ineffective on him.
"We'll be moving in a minute, everyone! If you need anything, I'll come get it right here."
Mason shouted to everyone, and then they saw Mason take something out of his bag and hold it in his hand.
It was a black straight blade.
Its handle was decorated with a demon, and the top leaders of the entire Assassin's League knew it. Damian, Bane, and Talia's eyes were also attracted to it at this moment.
This is Lei Xiaogu’s sword, the Demon Head.
It was previously installed by Mason into the Penguin Umbrella as an umbrella sword for assassination, but it was never used. Later, after Mason installed the golden apple into the Penguin Umbrella, this thing was replaced.
It was originally intended to be given to Ertong, but Ertong didn't like anything related to the Assassin's League, so it remained with Mason.
He noticed the three people's gazes, especially Talia's longing gaze.
She needed the sword from her father to increase her legitimacy in the League of Assassins, but Mason glanced at Talia and then handed the black straight blade to the bewildered Damian.
He stared into the little lunatic's eyes and said:
"I'm lending it to you for self-defense, little lunatic. Don't break it, because you'll have to return it later."
Damian didn't reach out to take it, but subconsciously looked at his mother. He knew very well how much his mother wanted the sword, but Mason didn't give him a chance to refuse and put his grandfather's sword in his hand.
This inconspicuous action made Talia's eyes shrink.
It is impossible for Mason, who is as smart as a monkey, not to understand the significance of this sword to the members of the Assassin's League, and the person most qualified to inherit this sword is definitely not Damian.
Talia suddenly realized that this might be a small warning from Mason. It seemed that the captain of Team K was very dissatisfied with their reckless counterattack that almost caused the team to be wiped out.
Of course, it is also possible that she was overthinking it. Maybe Mason gave Damian a good weapon for self-defense because he liked him. This is normal... What the hell!
It's obviously just a warning to scare the enemy and split the mother-son relationship, okay?
"Okay, everyone, we're ready to take action! Come over here and listen to my plan!"
Mason clapped his hands and asked the armed people to gather around him. He pointed to the outside to the ladies on his left and said:
"Go help the Amazons. It would be best if you can rescue a few wounded soldiers and kill a few Atlantean soldiers. It would be even better if you can kill them in front of them.
They are bound to lose this battle.
But these people don't seem to want to run, this won't work, you have to find a way to lead them out."
Then, Mason looked at the group of men again, and said to Deathstroke, who had been observing the battlefield:
"You are the temporary commander of this team, Wilson. I need you to bring the men to join Atlantis and capture a few Amazons alive and send them over as a token of your allegiance.
The point is King Shark!"
He pointed at the blue shark king who was sitting behind everyone and humming.
The unfortunate fellow was nearly killed by the Amazon's javelins. After Mason's emergency first aid and drinking ten people's worth of healing potions, he finally recovered to the point where he could charge into the battlefield.
Hearing Mason calling his name, the Shark King, who was still a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss, stared at Mason with his little black eyes and blinked.
It looks like a ferocious beast in every aspect, but its silly look is actually a bit cute.
So fierce and cute!
"The Shark King is a sea creature, and his natural camp is in Atlantis. So, you are now the human servants of the fierce Shark King, specially responding to the call of the sea and serving His Majesty Arthur in his great cause of conquering the Amazons!
That is your slogan.”
Mason stressed:
"You must speak with one voice. Choose someone who is good at speaking to communicate with the Atlanteans."
"You want to hedge your bets?"
Talia reacted immediately, but Mason shook his head and said:
"What are you betting on? Don't be silly, open your eyes and look around. If we don't choose a side, we will all die here. We can't afford to offend either side.
But the Amazons despised all men, and the Atlanteans were by no means friendly to humans.
So this is the only way for now.
This is a world that has just been discovered but is on the verge of self-destruction. The Star Society has not set foot in it, and both parties should not be aware of the existence of outsiders.
But if they know and ask, don't hide it and tell them the truth.
Just say we are pioneers, thrown here by our superiors as cannon fodder to explore the way, and the rest is up to you.”
He took out micro communicators made with Isu technology and distributed them to everyone.
Without a super hacker like Barbara to coordinate communications, whether this thing can remain stable and effective depends on luck. However, according to the "instructions" in the mind, these communicators should be able to maintain simple cross-continental communications before the energy is exhausted.
"What about you?"
Selina asked with some concern:
"You want to go to the underwater people too?"
"No, I'm going somewhere else."
Mason looked back at the foggy coast surrounding the battlefield.
The storm raised by the Atlanteans obscured all observations of the outside world, but relying on the super perception of his Isu bloodline, Mason could vaguely see the outline of a coastal city outside the "fog of war".
"I'm going there to gather some intelligence from the human cities."
Mason turned his gaze back to the crowd and said:
"Let's act on our own. Time is running out, friends. Let's stay hidden for the first phase of this mission. Damian, come with me.
We both have our mission, we need to carry out a secret operation.
The kind that can’t be done without you.”
