Volume 5: The Young Wolf Seeks Home Chapter 42: Both X-Men and Team K have letters in their names, so why is there such a big difference?
The Hulk Gang's "balloon nuclear bomb" ultimately failed to explode.
It had already flown over New Babylon, but was discovered in the first place by the replica X-Men under the Red Skull. With the "youthful version" of Magneto, it was almost impossible for an iron bomb to explode at high altitude.
The rusty tactical nuclear bomb had not yet entered the throwing program when it was cleverly disassembled into harmless components in the air by the concentrated magnetic force. It was then madly accelerated into flight by the "electromagnetic cannon" in the magnetic field, tearing the green balloon and everything on it into pieces.
But this cruel scene didn't even arouse the slightest interest from Father Banner.
He made no comment on the tragic death of his eldest son, but instead drove his Hulk Gang and cannon fodder to rush towards the city of New Babylon.
As a city in the wasteland, there are certainly no city walls and no need for them.
Therefore, facing the accelerating influx of wasteland bullies, the Hydra soldiers who were fighting with Team K had to divert part of their strength to fight against the Wagggggh that was right in front of them!
This gave Team K, which was fighting hard, a chance to break out.
Following Barbara's command, everyone gave up their target at the same time and tried to retreat with the fire support of the mechanical ants and drones.
To be honest, this job is very difficult.
Because all of them, including Barbara, are facing the entanglement of more than one X-Men, and not all of them are mediocre.
Zod was being fought in a "mixed doubles" by Storm and Beast Hank, a long-range and close-range pair, while Kara was being suppressed by Cyclops and Colossus.
Bizarro faced off against Juggernaut and Gambit, while Blue Beetle was toyed around by big sister Psylocke and big brother Sabretooth.
Even Firestorm, who went to tangle with Magneto, encountered Sunfire and Flamestar, two "fellows" who also played with fire.
To be honest, with the current strength of Team K 2.0, they are already the best among all the B-level pioneer teams in the Star Club, but facing the undeviated version of the X-Men head-on still puts them at an absolute disadvantage for a while.
This is not to say that Team K is not strong enough, but it will take time for the players to realize their potential.
Right now, the only one who has the upper hand in the battle of New Babylon is the usually low- key Batgirl Barbara.
She was blocked by the "bitter couple" or "black and white lovers" duo of Dagger and Cloak, and then she summoned a colony of mechanical ants to help her, but these ground forces were of little use against Cloak who could teleport at any time.
But the ant colony bought Barbara time to "change weapons."
When Dagger and Cloak were about to launch a teleportation raid on Barbara who was hiding in a bunker, they were shocked to find that the master hacker was also playing the "gun fight".
Faced with the attack of the mutant couple, Barbara chose to give an answer with double guns.
"Bang, bang, bang"
The sharp sound of gunfire echoed in the devastated space of the burning building, and Batgirl rushed forward while aiming.
Originally, bullets posed no threat to the mutants who could teleport. However, at the moment the two sides fought, the teleporting cloaks realized that they had fallen into a trap.
The woman dressed like Black Bat is holding two guns in her hands!
Those bullets can automatically track the target.
Batgirl only needs to aim the muzzle of the gun roughly at the target, and the smart bullet fired will be able to make a large blunt-angle turn while being locked by the prosthesis and shoot into the target's body.
The two epic smart pistols "Yukimura" specially made for her by Mason were painted in a high-tech silver-gray color. As Barbara continued to move around in the small space, the two mutants could only passively take the beating.
What's even more terrible is that the mechanical ants have surrounded them in this closed space. With no other choice, Cloak can only take the dagger and teleport out of the shelter.
However, Barbara sneered and did not chase after him. She turned around, threw out her flying claws, and jumped into the chaotic street.
A few seconds after the successful breakout, a large amount of flames exploded continuously in the air.
This is when Batgirl detonated the released flying ants without hesitation, using these precious elite machines to blow Dagger and Cloak up in mid-air, and the couple finally landed on the ground where the mechanical ants were gathered.
Well, I hope they can love each other even in hell.
"Mason! Support!"
While locating her teammates in the chaotic New Babylon, Barbara shouted to the captain outside the city:
"They are entangled. If they can't break out, I will have to ask the Kryptonians to inject stimulants."
"Don't worry, I'm coming."
Mason was not flustered. He instructed:
"Hawkeye's signal has been restored. It seems he has won the fight. Go and reunite with him and then move towards the 'palace' where the Red Skull is. The subsequent X-Men do not need to be knocked down.
Unless the Red Skull doesn't want his own city, the Hulk gang will take care of them.
Let our Kryptonians take another beating.
This can effectively stimulate the superhuman potential hidden deep in their bones. You and Hawkeye go help Firestorm, and I will take care of Blue Beetle."
"receive!"
Barbara took a deep breath, took out a bottle of stimulant and poured it into her mouth. A few seconds later, with a low engine sound, a bat motorcycle crashed through the wall and sped towards the direction of Hawkeye's signal.
Less than two minutes later, Batgirl came to an abrupt stop with a graceful swing of her tail, and appeared at the edge of the street that had become a sea of fire.
In front of her, Hawkeye, covered in blood, was sitting on a headless corpse and smoking a cigarette. Next to him, Ashley Parker was yelling and fighting with Li Qianhuan, a rookie who tried to sneak attack them.
"Not bad, old man."
Barbara crouched on the black motorcycle, looking at Hawkeye and the silver mechanical arm under his feet that was still emitting sparks. She pursed her lips and said:
"Can you still fight? We need support over there."
"Of course you need support. Who would send a bunch of rookies into a battlefield like this?"
Hawkeye, who seemed to have untied the knot in his heart, blew out a smoke ring, put the Hades bow beside him on his back, and stood up staggeringly while leaning on the scandium alloy sword.
He was not in good shape after fighting the enhanced Winter Soldier one-on-one, but it was obvious that the chaos in front of him had aroused the former Avenger's fierce fighting spirit.
He caught the healing potion that Barbara threw to him, tilted his head back and drank it down like drinking wine, then threw the empty bottle behind him without looking back.
The bottle hit Li Qianhuan's head accurately as he was fighting with his daughter, causing the latter to stagger.
The wasteland spider girl screamed and pounced forward, using a rough naked choke to break the replica Li Qianhuan's neck with a click, amidst the flying energy sparks.
"I knew drinking wasn't a good habit for a shooter. My hands were shaking! Damn it, I was aiming at that chick's ass..."
Hawkeye complained.
He said to Barbara:
"You and my daughter will follow in the Spider-Car. I'm going to requisition your cool motorcycle. Let me, an old man, take you two girls to see how powerful the Avengers are."
"Don't scratch my motorcycle. This is a limited edition that my brother modified himself."
Batgirl grinned and jumped out of her car.
The unruly Hawkeye whistled, sat on the car, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out for a long distance. He then completed an almost impossible 90-degree right-angle turn on the next street, and under Barbara's instructions, he rushed towards the location where Firestorm was fighting hard.
He is old.
He was so old that he could hardly even lift a sword. It took him half his life to kill a Winter Soldier. He is no longer as brave as he used to be.
However, the strong wind blowing towards him on the Batmobile made Clint Barton feel like he was getting younger every second.
It's like those forgotten good old days have returned.
"Hold on tight, Natasha..."
He said to the empty space behind him:
"You look so sexy today. I almost want to invite you out on a date. Haha, I wish I had said it earlier."
"Hey! Old man."
Ashley Parker's unhappy and contemptuous voice sounded in the team communication. She cursed:
"Don't say your fantasies out loud, it's disgusting! I can hear them."
"So what?"
Hawkeye curled his lips and stepped on the accelerator again. He said:
"I'm divorced from your mother, so what do you care who I date, you little bastard? You two should remember to rush over and attract attention so that I can have a chance to attack you by surprise.
Watch me shoot those two arsonists to death with my Pym particle arrows!"
——
"Whoosh"
Mason activated the Speed Force Ring and appeared in the chaotic New Babylon amidst flickering yellow light. The moment he stopped, Blue Beetle screamed and fell at Mason's feet.
His cool alien scarab combat system was in a mess now. The alien weapons that were only unlocked to the second stage were completely unable to deal with the terrifying melee combination of Psylocke and Sabretooth at the same time.
The reason why it could hold out for so long against the two replica Dark X-Men was entirely due to the extraordinary defensive power of the Scarab System.
The cowboy boy from Texas finally stopped viewing this pioneering journey as a legendary adventure, because he truly felt the pressure of death, which made this usually chatterbox unusually silent at this moment.
He is making progress, and his compatibility with the scarab system is increasing rapidly. If he is given more time, he will probably be able to unlock the third stage of force restrictions on the spot.
But unfortunately, his time on the stage has come to an end.
At this moment, he fell to the ground in a very embarrassing manner, and his eyes met Mason's as he was looking down. When their eyes met, he saw the deep disappointment on Mason's face.
"A weapon of destruction that roams the universe... this is the result?"
The captain deliberately sneered:
"You can't even beat two second-tier X-Men, and you want to join the Justice League? You have no spirit at all, kid. Stand aside and let your captain teach you what fighting is."
As he spoke, Mason patted the bag lightly, and a one-handed sword decorated with a golden eagle jumped into his palm. It was Sujie's Eagle longsword that he had given to Catwoman for self-defense.
After Selina got the Venom armor and the Whip of Truth, she no longer had any use for it, so this Isu weapon returned to Mason.
This kind of weapon can only exert its true destructive power in the hands of Isu bloodline, so when Mason held the sword, the jumping edge almost formed a layer of "flowing blade" outside the blade.
With his other hand, he pulled out the silver pistol from his waist and assumed an assault stance just like the little madman Damian.
Psylocke, who was opposite him, sneered. As a mutant swordsman who was a master of weapons, he could tell at a glance that Mason's sword-holding posture was that of a complete novice.
This guy who suddenly appeared doesn't know how to fight in close combat at all.
Sabretooth, who was tall and somewhat similar to Logan, sneered, and his hands ejected claws and surrounded Mason with Psylocke on the left and right.
"It's not that I don't believe you, Captain."
The blue beetle got up and hid behind Mason. He tried his best to break through the scarab's force lock and whispered:
"But Sister Barbara said that your close combat is your weakness. How about we run? These two guys can't fly. I can take you out.
If you can't win, running away is not shameful."
"Psylocke can flash over a short distance, and your weak reaction is not enough to dodge it. If you choose to expose your back in the face of such an enemy, you are courting death."
Mason stretched his neck, and moved his wrist in a pretentious manner, emitting golden sword lights. He whispered:
"It's true that I don't like close combat, but I guess even the X-Men have never been kicked by light..."
"Shua"
Mason's figure swayed in place.
A bright red blood mark appeared on the neck of the saber-toothed tiger opposite.
As Blue Beetle and Psylocke watched in astonishment, the tall undead mutant's head slid off his neck, and then the headless corpse fell to the ground with blood gushing out.
Sabretooth has the same beast perception as Wolverine, but with the blessing of the speed force, his perception is completely unable to keep up with the speed of Mason's movement and attack.
He went to hell without even feeling the pain of having his neck cut.
So, you guys who call "Sonic Quicksilver" "Superspeed", do you understand the value of superluminal speed?
"Fortunately there is no adamantium in this guy's neck. Fortunately, this sword is sharper than a laser in my hand."
Mason glanced at Psylocke who turned and ran away, then turned back and winked at Blue Beetle and said:
"Now you know the strength of the strong man who defeated the Justice League twice alone, right?"
“It’s so terrifying!”
The cowboy girl expressed her feelings from the bottom of her heart. Mason smiled and disappeared again. When he returned a second later, he had a blood-stained samurai sword covered with purple flames in his hand.
"The Speed Force is really great, especially in the hands of a decisive person. It's not easy for Barry Allen to resist the temptation of violence once and for all."
He sighed, threw the bloody spoils to Blue Beetle, and said:
"Keep it and take it back to your brother Ertong. He will smile more at you because of it."
Blue Beetle, holding the blood-stained samurai sword, was frightened by Mason's tricks. He didn't dare to resist at all and could only ask in a low voice:
"Where are we going now? To rescue the others?"
"No, we're going straight to Huanglong."
The captain pushed up the frame of his glasses, pointed in the direction of the center of New Babylon, and poured a bottle of epic healing potion into his mouth to quickly heal his cracked leg and hand bones.
Alas, this speed force is good in every way, except that it is the same as the "Seven Wound Fist" every time it is used.
“Ouch!”
A terrifying and strange roar suddenly sounded in the city behind Mason, causing him to look back suddenly. Blue Beetle asked in confusion:
"What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Mason turned around and said to the cowboy boy:
"It's just that... the beast is out of the cage, and this city is finished."
At the same time, on the chaotic battlefield one-third of the city area away, Father Banner struggled to pull his arm out of the broken wall behind him.
With his face covered in blood, he looked at the shattered reading glasses in front of him with regret. He actually quite liked this pair of glasses that he had picked up from somewhere.
The main reason is that wearing it can add a touch of gentle temperament to him in the form of "Fire Cloud Evil God", so that he does not forget his other identity besides Hulk.
In front of Father Banner, the ferocious Red Tank grabbed the body of the Hulk's son with a crushed head in one hand, and strode towards Bruce Banner like a warrior of destruction. The burning and exploding war vehicles in the background behind him were as gorgeous as .
"You are so old! Why are you still coming here to die?"
Red Tank, one of the remake Hydra X-Men, rudely yelled to Father Banner:
"Look at you, a fool, you dare to provoke Hydra! I will tear you apart!"
"I want to die, so badly. I just want to find someone in this city who can kill me... You look very powerful... Shhh..."
Facing the roar of the Red Tank, Father Banner, who was lying in the rubble with one-third of his bones broken, raised his broken fingers and made a gesture to silence him.
A twisted and terrifying smile appeared on the blood-stained face.
He said:
"You woke him up... well, you... all of you... smell so 'delicious'... he and I know he'll have a... good feast today...
Mmm, fresh dead flesh... it tastes delicious."
