Volume 5: The Young Wolf Seeks Home Chapter 30 Why are you yelling so loudly!
Mason decided to move forward at full speed.
Therefore, they naturally couldn't stay too long at the most famous attraction "The Land of Fallen Gods" located in the middle of the journey. Basically, everyone got off the bus to take a group photo.
After all, it is rare to see an evil god who died tragically here with a building crushing his corpse in the entire parallel world.
However, after actually arriving here, Mason discovered that the facts were slightly different from what he had imagined.
For example, Loki, who had been dead for seventeen years, was a little...
“It’s too big!!!”
Harley stood on the Spider-Car, staring in amazement at the giant skeleton that looked like a small mountain in front of her.
It was lying at the foot of a hill, surrounded by the deserted Gobi Desert, looking quite miserable.
The only reference object was the building that was pressing on the corpse. Even if the seven-story building collapsed, it would still reach the chest of the skeleton. This was enough to prove that the evil god Loki had expanded himself to at least 30 meters before his death.
"Even if he is the descendant of the King of the Frost Giants, this is a bit too exaggerated. Perhaps it is some kind of powerful magical effect?"
Mason stood up from the opened cockpit of the Demon Lizard Heavy Tank and sighed in a low voice, while Barbara beside him was already taking pictures with her bionic eyes, intending to take them back to show her father.
Commissioner Gordon has worked in Gotham for decades. What hasn't he seen?
He probably wouldn't be surprised by the photo, but considering that he is currently in the middle of a passionate twilight romance with Dr. Lalis, this could definitely become a "funny story" that they could talk about when they are being affectionate.
"No magic can allow a caster to maintain this form seventeen years after death, Mason. This is most likely the cause of death of the evil god named Loki."
The hat on his head said calmly:
"Perhaps his enemies somehow enlarged him tenfold, causing his organs to be unable to withstand such a drastic change and explode and die."
"Well, this method of killing a god is a bit too horrifying, but considering that this building is the base of the Fantastic Four in this world, and Loki did die at the hands of the Fantastic Four, this is not surprising."
Mason jumped off the tank and said to his hat:
“Although I haven’t met Mr. Reed yet, I know that his wisdom can indeed turn all unscientific ideas into reality…Harley! What are you doing? Come down quickly!
We can’t stay here too long.”
He shouted to Harley, who was already climbing up to the remains of the evil god with her two dogs.
The two Amazon military dogs were already very excited when they saw such a big bone stick, and their owner Harley was preparing to find two chew sticks for her dogs.
"Whoosh"
The blue beetle flew to Harley's side. He turned on the detection mode of the scarab system, as if he was ready to confirm the cause of the evil god's death. However, within a few seconds after the blue scanning beam was fired, the cowboy boy screamed in the team communication:
"Guys! Something's not right! There are millions of bite marks on this bone. It's not natural weathering! Something's eating this guy's flesh.
Probably after his death...
This is so creepy.”
"Um?"
Mason frowned at the news about the Blue Beetle, feeling that something was not right. Before he could ask, Hawkeye beside him took the initiative to explain:
"It may be related to the Ant Gang. This is their sphere of influence. According to legend, the leader of those guys, a guy who calls himself the 'Ant King', can indeed command the ant colony.
But no one had ever connected Loki's remains to them before."
"Because the two have nothing to do with each other."
The old wolf, who had never been interested in these things, looked at the huge corpse in front of him and said with a bit of sarcasm:
“I have fought with Loki more than once, and I know very well how hard the bones of the Asgardians are. No matter how fierce the ants on Earth are, they cannot chew their flesh and blood.
Maybe it's something else, something more dangerous...
I feel a little uneasy.
We shouldn’t stay here too long.”
"Wait a moment, let me complete this ritual, and then we'll go."
Under the stunned gazes of the two old heroes, Mason took out the Thor's hammer, which no longer had any power, from his bag. He took the forging hammer, which fit him very well, in his hand and strode towards the skeleton in front of him, but did not get too close to it like his teammates who were flying in the sky and taking photos with this thing in various poses.
He found a place just below Loki's huge, dried skull leaning against the hillside, built a few stones and placed Thor's hammer on top.
He squatted in front of this "small altar" and said to the hammer in front of him:
"Although you have both been dead for seventeen years, you have finally met each other, the two of you. One was eaten to the point of being nothing but bones, and the other was left with nothing but weapons.
I don't know if you will meet in Asgardian hell, but I have done the last thing I could do for you two.
I'm going to take this hammer away. I can use it. If you know about this in the afterlife, I hope you'll bless me and let me use your power to help you get justice.
Now that I know there is something fishy about what happened seventeen years ago, I will get to the bottom of it.
Rest in peace, both of you."
He clasped his hands together in front of his chest.
Even by the most relaxed ritual standards his movements were somewhat casual, but Mason had not come here specifically to perform the sacrifice; he was just doing it on the way.
He stood up and lit a cigarette, leaving the war hammer there, allowing Thor and Loki to chat for a while longer in this way. After a few minutes, he estimated that the two brothers had said goodbye, so he threw away the cigarette butt, walked forward, picked up the war hammer and prepared to leave.
"Mr. K! Bud found some bones. Very strange bones!"
Harley's screams rang out from above, and Mason stopped and looked up, to see his crazy beauty standing at the edge of Loki's mountain of bones, clutching a giant rib and waving at him.
With her other hand she waved a strange looking bone and shouted:
"I'll take this thing down right away and show it to you. Wait a minute, it's still glowing."
Then, under Mason's speechless gaze, Harley slipped and fell from a height of more than ten meters with a scream. She danced and screamed in the air, hoping that her sweetheart would come to her rescue.
But before Mason could start, a blue shadow flew over, hugged her in the air, and then sent her to Mason.
"Be careful."
Kara said to Harley with a cold face:
"If you can't fly, don't climb so high."
After saying that, the superwoman glanced at Mason, then flew forward again with a whoosh, and only said in the team communication:
"I'm going to scout ahead, you guys follow me quickly."
"I'll go with you!"
Blue Beetle regarded Supergirl as his big sister, and quickly followed them by flapping his mechanical wings. Behind them, Harley waved the bones in her hand and said goodbye sharply:
"Thank you for your kindness, Kara, although I don't need your rescue at all, and you ruined my little plan!"
After saying that, she turned back to look at Mason's dim gaze, stuck out her tongue, squinted her eyes and said:
"Okay, okay, I admit that I did it on purpose. You will definitely catch me, right? My sweetheart."
"That's not necessarily true."
Mason took the bone from Harry's hand and said in a long voice:
"What if I don't react? Maybe I should get you a bat cape so you can glide down."
"No matter what, you can definitely catch me."
Harley happily hugged Mason's arm, while the captain focused his attention on the strange bone found by Harley's dog.
This thing should have been formed by the weathering of some cartilage in Loki's body. It still had a hint of chillness in Mason 's hand and did emit a faint glow.
As Mason watched, an information tag popped up:
Frost Giant Prince's Juvenile
Quality: Legendary Manufacturing Material
Effect: Adding this material to the production process of mysterious items will have a certain chance of granting the finished product a [Double Cast] effect, that is, every time magic is released, there is a chance to awaken the reverberation of the Deceitful Prince, copying the previous destructive effect and causing double damage.
hint!
After using Loki's remains to repair Thor's hammer, the probability of the manufacturing effect taking effect will increase to 100%.
Item Description: Asgard's exiled brothers' legacy collection progress [2/2], congratulations on synthesizing the "Friendly Brothers" set! Also remind you, don't worship a fallen god casually in a world where "gods" really exist, because they can really hear.
“Wow!”
Mason made a guttural sound of surprise.
He suddenly turned around and looked at the "small altar" he had just placed under Loki's skull.
That thing has been blown down by the wind...
Yes, if you really believe that a breeze can blow down rocks.
"Thank you!"
He waved the remains of Loki in his hand, waved goodbye to the huge skeleton in front of him, then returned to the Spider-Man, gave Harley some instructions, and went down to the suitcase factory.
Fortunately, he got the repair materials for Thor's Hammer, and he had to complete the repair, or upgrade, of this forging hammer as soon as possible.
After all, it was Loki's kindness and I felt embarrassed to take the things. I also had to help the two brothers fulfill their last wishes as soon as possible and let them "become one".
Team K is back on the road.
After they passed the hillside, they suddenly heard a loud noise.
Zod flew into the sky with a whoosh and looked back. With the Kryptonian's super vision, he clearly saw the whole process of the wreckage of the evil god Loki collapsing behind the hillside.
It was as if this evil god, who had been dead for seventeen years and had a very bad reputation when he was alive, finally got what he wanted to see. After fulfilling his wish, he could finally be content to pass away quietly.
This scene left the black-clad Superman Zod, who was floating in the air, speechless. He had learned from Hawkeye about the twisted brotherly relationship of love and hate between Loki and Thor.
But at this moment, he would rather believe the joke Mason made before.
Those bad jokes may really be just a way for the awkward younger brother Loki to express his closeness to his brother Thor. Unfortunately, in this cruel world, the brothers can only see each other again in this way after seventeen years of each other's death...
——
"Well, the relationship between these two brothers is twisted yet tender."
Thirty kilometers ahead of Team K, Blue Beetle beside Kara said with a sigh:
"It's even more complicated than the relationship between Batman and Superman. It's a pity that they ended up like this. Sigh, I don't know if I will have such a good brother by my side when I die..."
"You are only sixteen years old. Isn't it a little too early to think about these things now?"
Kara glanced at her little brother.
She now really feels that Blue Beetle's brain is not in sync with that of a normal person, but this may be the reason why he can attract the Scarab weapon system to bind to him?
"Um, Sister Kara, I have something to tell you."
Blue Beetle carefully studied Kara's expression, then he leaned over and whispered:
"I thought about it and decided not to go against Mason."
"Um?"
Kara's face changed and she said to her younger brother:
"Are you going to abandon me?"
"Well, that's not the case. I just unlocked the second stage of the Scarab System. It turns out that they didn't lie to me. They really arranged a training and combat plan for me step by step."
Blue Beetle shrugged and said:
"And I don't think even if we put our heads together we can come up with a plan that will frustrate Mason. Most importantly, there is absolutely no need for us to make our relationship with Mason so strained.
You see, they helped a lot of people along the way.
He also settled those wastelanders who came for help and took them away from this doomsday world. There was no need for him to pretend for such a long time just to deceive us, right?
Perhaps Professor Stein is right.
Batman sent us here so we could learn something from Mason."
"You little traitor!"
Kara pretended to fight, and Blue Beetle shrank his neck in fear, but the next moment, Supergirl waved her hands in frustration and said:
"Forget it, do whatever you want.
You're right, the two of us are not as smart as Mason. It took us a lot of effort to deal with the super symbiote just now... What's wrong with you?"
Kara noticed that Blue Beetle's body was shaking, so she asked quickly. The latter pointed to the front and said:
"The space detector I just unlocked tells me there is a space distortion ahead! Someone is coming, and there is no enemy identification, so they are not ours!"
"ha!"
Kara, who was in a bad mood, suddenly brightened up and was about to fly over to take a look. Blue Beetle stayed where he was and shouted:
"Shouldn't we request support in this situation?"
"You apply for it yourself, and I can take care of it."
The Kryptonian girl was very confident. She rushed towards the point of space distortion in front of her with a whoosh. As she got closer, she accurately locked onto a strange man in black robe who was hiding below.
"Don't run!"
She yelled and rushed forward with her fists clenched.
The man in black robe didn't even look and jumped out lightly with his legs. The area where he was was smashed to pieces by Kara's punch, and he chased after him amid the flying bricks and stones.
But the opponent is tough.
Facing Supergirl's sonic punch, he was not only unharmed, but also dodged it lightly and even engaged in close combat without fear of Kara's Kryptonian strength. He even had the upper hand in the fight.
"Oh no, this is a difficult idea!"
Blue Beetle, who was hiding and watching, saw that the big sister was in trouble, so he immediately sent a signal to the others. Soon, Zod, Bizarro and Firestorm appeared in the sky.
Under Barbara's instructions, three guys including Blue Beetle attacked the mysterious man in black robe who had been entangled by Kara from four directions. Seeing the opponent's aggressive approach, the latter had no choice but to break away from the contact.
He waved his hands to show that he meant no harm.
But unfortunately, none of these five people knew sign language.
So they chose to keep charging!
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, the man in black robe shrugged helplessly. When the three supermen and two superpowers rushed over together, he cleared his throat and said in a neither light nor heavy voice:
"Be polite, my friend."
"boom"
Five consecutive terrifying energy explosions swept everyone in an instant. Just as each person was assigned a word, the situation changed so quickly that even the Kryptonians could not react.
And then nothing happened.
Thirty kilometers away, Barbara in the Demon Lizard Heavy Tank stared in amazement at the five team members who had lost contact in the communication channel in an instant. She was also stunned for a moment.
What's going on?
Is this the end of the team?
What on earth happened in those few seconds?
Barbara felt her brain heating up again.
She skillfully took out an ice pack to cool herself down, while trying to calm herself down and use her bat wisdom to think about what to do now?
After a few seconds, she had her answer.
"Harley! Hurry and call Mason out! Something big has happened!"
