Volume 4: The Last Day Chapter 68: Printing cards on the spot, right? Not pretending anymore, right? Kick out those who didn’t cheat!
The combination of old man Thomas Wayne, female clown Martha Wayne, Diana Prince, the chosen one of Khorne, and shameless villain Arthur Curry had already confirmed that Mason had arrived in the famous "Flashpoint" world.
However, the appearance of "Black Arrow" Oliver made Mason realize that this flashpoint world was not exactly the same as the story he remembered, and perhaps this was also a complex worldview.
It's like the damn Isu world.
But it's much more exciting here than with sister Malaka.
It was completely different at the level of conventional power. As soon as Mason rushed out of the burning Wayne Mansion wearing an invisibility cloak, he saw a group of black-clad ninjas advancing among a pile of ice sculptures.
Leading them was a guy dressed in all black, wearing a "padded jacket" and holding a cool freezing gun. The weapon in his hand, which emitted blue ice rays, had frozen all the Arkham criminals nearby.
"Captain Cold? He's Black Arrow's subordinate? Cool, this worldview is really interesting."
Mason complained.
In stealth mode, he took out his own freezing gun from his bag. This invention from Professor Victor was obviously not as advanced as the weapon in the opponent's hand, but considering that Captain Cold was not a superhuman, he was still a little slow in reacting when facing Mason's shameless sneak attack.
The guy who was famous for being able to create "absolute zero" at any time was frozen into a large piece of ice. The black-clad killers beside him were also cut in place by the high-speed rotating laser beams emitted by the biological killer grenades thrown by Mason.
The scene was extremely bloody, but Mason didn't care.
He stepped forward and took the weapon that looked more like a real gun from the ice sculpture of Captain Cold, and threw it into his bag as a trophy.
This thing can be used as a blueprint for upgrading the freezing gun.
However, the small encounter here has attracted the attention of the killer leader. Although the invisibility cloak has not failed, for the world's top shooter, Black Arrow Oliver has no right to capture the target before taking action.
What's more, the Oliver Queen in this world is not an ordinary person. After killing the Master Assassin and inheriting the Assassin's League, years of soaking in the Lazarus Pool gave him superhuman strength and keen senses.
Dressed in a black hunting suit, he stood on top of the flaming mansion, with his bow and arrow drawn, aiming at the ambushed assassin team below, ready to shoot an explosive arrow to destroy the entire place.
Mason also sensed the threat, and his Isu senses went wild and warned him to evacuate faster.
Just as Black Arrow was about to release the bowstring, the master assassin suddenly jumped and rolled over on the spot. Three consecutive black bat darts shot from behind, pierced his feet and then exploded, completely destroying Black Arrow's surprise attack.
Bullseye, wearing a grey Isu vanguard armor, hid in the darkness and chuckled. He did not go forward to chase, but hummed a strange song and untied the high-tech heavy sniper "Nakomata" that his employer Mason had "friendly supported" from behind.
The bloodthirsty killer's brain prosthesis was temporarily freed from all restrictions.
He could finally kill to his heart's content tonight, and his first target was Oliver Queen, who he had fought once before in Gotham.
Last time he won with the help of Mason's sneak attack, and this time he thought he had no reason to lose.
However, the fact that the dangerous sharpshooter assassin was entangled did not mean that Mason's breakout would be smooth sailing. Against the backdrop of violent explosions in the distance, when Mason rushed out of the mansion garden, he was confronted by Ms. Black Canary who fell from the sky.
Hmm, should she be called "Black Siren" in this world view?
Oliver Queen has become a cold-blooded killer in this world, so it is completely understandable that his partner and lover would be ruthless. So the moment Mason waved his cloak to block his body, the super-large-scale sonic tear came head-on.
The sound waves, which were far beyond the frequency that the human ear could receive, tore apart the entire garden that the old man disliked at all, and a large amount of soil and weeds flew into the air.
Although this scene is cool, it is not environmentally friendly at all.
However, this pure energy attack also activated the energy absorption of the Isu armor on Mason. Not only did he not get hurt, but it created an energy matrix in front of him, helping him to block several shuriken thrown by the Black Siren in time.
Seeing that the sound waves were unable to defeat the enemy, Black Siren rushed forward for close combat, but stepped on several laser mines that Mason had just laid.
The individual weapons from the world of 2077 exploded with flames that ignited the robe and hair of the black-haired girl. As she retreated in embarrassment, the slime monster Kevin, who was hiding in the flying mud, jumped out with a roar.
It entangled the female killer like spilled mud.
It was like a rope tied around her so that she couldn't break free. Mason stepped forward, pulled out the anesthetic needle and stabbed her in the neck, then opened the suitcase and let Kevin throw her in.
"I am very weak, but that doesn't mean anyone can take me down. Do you understand the value of B-level personnel? I am not afraid of Old K even if he comes in full condition now."
Mason complained as he lifted up his suitcase.
With the many means of self-defense he has now, these second- and third-tier heroes or villains who come one by one are like food being delivered to him.
But perhaps because of Mason’s “unrivaled” speech, this malicious world soon gave him a “surprise”.
Just as he rushed out of the manor gate and was about to find a place to hide and wait for the Assassin's League's raid to end, a swift black shadow suddenly jumped out from above, and the cold wind from the sharp blades made Mason's scalp numb.
He made a tactical slide to avoid the knife that was heading towards the back of his head, and turned back to look in confusion.
It was a tall figure wearing a red and black battle suit, holding two straight-blade swords, with only exposed his left eye, and a ninja-style ribbon flying behind his head.
"Death knell?"
Mason recognized him at a glance and asked back:
"What? The official superheroes are also out? Are you working with the League of Assassins?"
“It’s just that the goals are the same.”
The death knell of this world made an assault gesture and said in a cold voice:
"But I'm not here to kill you, Outsider 115. Amanda Waller wishes to speak with you."
"But I don't want to have any contact with that disgusting woman."
Mason took a step back and looked at the suitcase that had been kicked away by Deathstroke and landed on the side of the road . He blinked and said to the attacker in front of him:
"Besides, uninvited guests are annoying. Didn't you just say hello to the owner before you casually stepped into private territory?"
"Bang"
Deathstroke turned around in an instant.
The sharp blade in his left hand collided with the shark-tooth knife on the arm armor of the old man who suddenly attacked from behind, and sparks flew as the two old men started a dazzling close combat.
Mason rolled over and hid on the side of the road, then fired his grappling gun and pulled his suitcase over.
However, he did not continue to evacuate, but took off the rifle behind him and prepared to support the old man. He was very confident in the skills of Thomas Wayne, the Knight of Vengeance, but the superhuman Deathstroke was not easy to deal with either.
Under the circumstances tonight, letting the two of them fight like this is not the right choice.
However, while aiming his gun, Mason also activated the team communicator in his ear, this time connecting directly to Talia, and said without further ado:
"The Assassin's League of this world is coming for your son's head. I found a group of people to resist them, but now another troublesome guy has appeared.
Help me contact Deathstroke!
quick!"
Talia has always been a woman with strong executive ability. After hearing Mason's simple description, she switched the frequency band. After a few seconds of communication waiting, a deep male voice in pajamas sounded in Mason's ears:
"Captain, it's not even daybreak yet. Even in Atlantis, this is an evil time."
"I met your temporal alter ego in this world, and he wanted to capture me to meet Amanda Waller."
Mason ignored Deathstroke's untimely dry humor. He aimed at the Deathstroke variant that was in a close fight with the old man and asked:
"But I'm quite interested in this superhero Deathstroke, so can you tell me some of your weaknesses? Shredder, I mean the kind of tactical arrangement that can instantly change the situation of the battle but won't kill another you."
"???"
Mason's request left Deathstroke, who was still waiting in Atlantis to be summoned by Aquaman, full of questions.
how?
Are the people in the Star Club so direct? They asked me about my weakness right away. What do you want to do? Now they are preparing countermeasures without hiding from people, right?
Mr. Mason Cooper, are you sure that our relationship has really reached this point?
Seeing the death knell fall silent, Mason advised:
"It's actually no big deal. Look at how open our Batman is. The whole world knows that his biggest weakness is his ordinary physique, and that if you don't fight with Batman, you will most likely avoid being defeated by him.
Knowing your weaknesses is one thing, but whether you give me the opportunity to exploit them is another.
At least you have some confidence in yourself since you have developed 90% of your brain, Wilson. I need your weakness now, otherwise I will have to kill your time-space entity with my life.
Are you really that uninterested in another you becoming a hero and serving justice?"
"Damn it, you convinced me."
The bell on the other end snorted, cleared his throat with dissatisfaction and reluctance, and said:
“The superhuman enhancements I was injected with when I was young can only protect my torso and internal organs. If you want to capture me, try to aim at my limbs. If necessary, you can attack my right eye.
Ever since I lost that eye it has been my Achilles heel.
Although I have always protected it well, if I encounter a sudden heavy blow, I will still be dizzy for a short time, but this is not the best choice, Captain Mason.
In order to prevent myself from falling into despair, I hypnotized myself so that when I was injured to a certain extent, I would enter a state of frenzy and lose my mind.
You probably wouldn't want to see me like that, so I suggest you start with your surroundings."
"Um?"
Mason paused, his finger on the trigger and aiming at Deathstroke's right eye. He said:
"Tell me more."
"It's simple. I am so cautious that I have developed the habit of preparing an evacuation plan in advance during my many years of combat career. According to my tactical thinking, once my preparations are discovered by the enemy, I will retreat immediately regardless of whether I have the upper hand or am in danger."
Deathstroke explains to Mason:
"Look outward from the other place where I appeared. If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to find a vehicle that I can use to escape. Usually, it's a modified motorcycle or a single-person aircraft."
Mason immediately turned his gun around.
Spreading his eagle-eye perception outward from the direction where the Deathstroke of this world had attacked him, he soon found a vibration that was not right.
A few hundred meters away in the woods, there was an aircraft with optical camouflage on, waiting. Mason sensed and aimed, then pulled the trigger.
With a loud bang, a fireball exploded from the woods.
Deathstroke, who had kicked the old man's pistol away and was about to go forward to execute him but was kicked in the face by the old man and fell away, immediately stopped, looked in the direction of the explosion in doubt, and then threw a smoke bomb to cover his retreat.
"Your alien has escaped and used a very special smoke bomb to block part of my perception. Now I can shoot to the left or the right..."
Before Mason could finish his words, Deathstroke on the other end of the line immediately responded:
"right!"
"Bang, bang, bang"
Five bullets flew out of the gun barrel and hit the thick fog. The last bullet successfully brought up a flash of blood, causing the fast-moving Deathstroke who was hiding in it to stumble and fall to the ground.
"Be careful of the flying knife he shoots! That thing is a good thing obtained from the KGB, and it is launched at a very fast speed."
Deathstroke on Mason's side reminded him with interest. He seemed to be playing a "catch yourself" game and enjoying it. Mason, who was reminded, ducked to avoid the three whistling flying knives and went forward to chase him.
"I will lay mines on my escape route in advance."
Deathstroke reminded again.
Mason immediately used his flying claws to climb onto a high branch, locked onto the zombie with his eagle eyes, and kept shooting at the zombies' limbs.
But when this guy saw that all his arrangements were avoided by Mason, he knew that he must have fallen into a trap, so he decisively called for support, and soon a rocket whizzed across the night sky and hit the chaotic Wayne Manor.
That was the support from the official forces nearby for Commander Deathstroke.
This scene made the old man give up the pursuit and retreat towards the manor.
Mason wanted to chase after him, but when he passed the mine-filled trail at the end, he saw a briefcase-like explosive that had been activated and was counting down. It was estimated that its power could raze everything nearby to the ground.
This was probably the order Amanda Waller gave to Deathstroke, that if he couldn't be captured alive, he should be killed directly.
"Shua"
Mason landed next to the box bomb with his flying claws, took out his engineering wrench and opened the shell. Looking at the four red, blue, white and gray wires in front of him, he said:
"Which one do you think I should cut?"
"It's useless. If I had placed them, any one of them would have exploded."
The Deathstroke on the other end of the line yawned and said:
"But I usually set a cancel code for the explosives to prevent accidents. Hammer it at the bottom and you'll see an input device with the four-digit code 5698."
"Are you sure?"
Mason did so.
But when he entered the last digit of the password, he looked at the number that was already counting down to 20 and said:
"You know, if you deliberately say one digit wrong, you can say goodbye to me forever."
"What good would it do me to kill a senior captain like you at this time?"
Shredder Wilson asked back:
"Or do you think I trust Talia al Ghul more than a capable stranger like you?"
"bite"
Mason entered the last digit, and the box-type explosive issued a shrill whistle, causing the countdown to stop at 14.
He breathed a sigh of relief and put the exquisitely crafted explosive that seemed to be mixed with some alien technology into his bag. Then he looked up into the distance, where a black helicopter was quickly disappearing into the night sky.
"It's been a pleasure working with you, Wilson."
Mason said to the other end of the communication:
"You're pretty amazing in this world. Maybe I'll have to introduce you two to each other someday."
"Ha, there's definitely a chance."
Deathstroke laughed, without any trace of the gloom of a world-class mercenary, and said like a cheerful uncle:
"Next time I see him, he'll be mine. Oh, King Shark discovered something in Atlantis before, maybe now is the time to report it to you."
