Volume 5: The Young Wolf Seeks Home Chapter 52: Team Doom's Power is Great, and the K Corps is So Terrifying
When Mason left the underground base and returned to the surface with some emotion and sadness, the search of the ruins had been completed.
All of Red Skull's "collections" were dug out from under the ruins by Harley's two dogs. Those "genuine goods" from the Avengers and superheroes were packed into a big bag by Harley in a mess.
At this moment, she looked like a powerful "snitch" who had just made a big profit. When Mason came out, she was waving the captain's round shield and trying to throw it away, allowing the dog to pick it up like a frisbee.
She was having a lot of fun, and it seemed that the miserable ruins around her and the serious scene in the distance where the last batch of villains were being admitted to Attilan had no effect on Harley's good mood at all.
This scene once again made Mason sigh that heartless people can always live happily and enjoy these simple pleasures.
"Sweetheart!"
Harley ran over cheering, leaving behind the two dogs that were wagging their tails and fighting for the round shield. She blinked her bright eyes at Mason, but suddenly Mr. K stretched out his hands, pinched her cheeks and pulled them back and forth.
It's like a joke between naughty kids.
But such childish behavior rarely appeared in the pursuit of steady Mason, which surprised Harley. Then, Mason held her and for the first time took the initiative to lower his head and kiss her plump lips.
He whispered:
"Thank you for the trouble, Harry."
"So this is a reward?"
"Robin Girl" squinted her eyes, stretched out her hand with some dissatisfaction and slapped Mason's butt hard, making a loud sound. She whistled in a rogue manner and said:
"This is not enough of a reward. You are just treating beggars like this. I will collect the interest when we return to Osborne Tower."
"Uh, are you two done with your flirting?"
Barbara's voice rang out over the team's communications. She stretched out her voice like a tired parent and said:
"If it's not over yet, we can wait a little longer. The world will end in twenty minutes, so we still have enough time to wait for you to be intimate here. Do you want to spend another ten minutes communicating at a negative distance?
It's really okay!
He will die soon, so there is no need to rush."
"Okay, Barbara, stop talking so sourly."
Mason said helplessly:
"I didn't forbid you and Grayson to enjoy your own world. It's not my fault that you didn't go. Have you packed everything? What did the swordsman say?"
"She can come any time."
Batgirl reports:
"She told us to pack everything and she would jump over to pick us up and take us back to Osborne Towers in a minute. She also asked if you needed any more preparations?"
"Yes! Take over the communication."
Mason narrowed his eyes and said something, and then the communication with the swordsman was transferred to Mason. He was not polite and pulled Harley to the entrance of Attilan City and said to the other side:
"First of all! There's a traitor in Team Axe, and that guy sold all our actions to the Warlock. I have enough reason to suspect that your Utopia has been seriously infiltrated, and you haven't discovered it yet."
"What?"
The swordsman's exclamation immediately rang out over the communication channel, filled with strong disbelief and anger.
She questioned:
"Do you know who it is? I'm going to kill that traitor right now! Collaborating with foreign enemies is the number one crime in Utopia! He should be cut into pieces."
"I don't know, you need to calm down because what I'm about to say is important."
Mason said to the swordsman:
"You are to immediately send a message to the Cleaner Corps as the Grand Battle Master, reporting that this world has been invaded by foreign enemies, that the Weapon X project is facing a serious threat, and that the administrator of this world has died in battle and is in urgent need of support.
And urge them to do it as quickly as possible!"
"I don't have the authority, Mason."
The swordsman replied in a very painful tone:
"Although this world is our home, it has always been coordinated by the Warlock. I cannot contact the Cleaners directly without him. Besides, it's just a wasteland world, the Cleaners won't care."
"No, the secrets of this world are much more terrifying than you can imagine. I'll explain them to you slowly after I get back."
Mason corrected:
“But believe me, this place is of great significance to the Cleaner Corps. Once you send the message, they will immediately come to assist here.
I need you to exaggerate the situation to be more threatening, the more serious the better, and it would be best if you can trick the Conquerors into coming here to provide support.
Go find the hunter!
Let her help hold back the warlock, it will only take a dozen minutes."
"You want to kill them?"
The swordsman came to her senses and said:
"Barbara just told me that you have activated the world destruction device, so you plan to reap more rewards? But if the warlock already knows that it was you who caused trouble in that world, it is inevitable that he will be desperate after such a huge loss."
"You mean, if I don't do this and be a good kid, he'll let me go?"
Mason said coldly:
"Since we've already revealed our cards to each other, what else is there to say? In a situation where it's either him or me, I don't mind giving him a hard time.
That shameful traitor wants to kill me?
sure!
As long as he can defeat you, the hunter and the forces behind you first, I will have support. If he can't do it, he can only swallow this loss honestly.
And believe me, swordsman, when I tell you the truth about what happened here, you will want to strangle him to death with your own hands.
Do it.
Do it now!
Take advantage of the moment, I promise you won't regret it.
That's all, pick us up in ten minutes."
After saying this, Mason disconnected the call. He stood at the entrance of the energy gate of the alien city Attilan suspended in mid-air, looking back at the ruins of New Babylon behind him and the endless wilderness in the distance.
The few days I spent in this hometown world appeared in my mind one by one like flashbacks of memory.
The encounter with the old wolf, the robbery of couriers, the rush through the ruins of San Francisco, the wasteland venom, the destruction of Hammerfall, etc. Although this journey was not the most thrilling story Mason had ever experienced, it was undoubtedly the most unforgettable journey for him personally.
Next to Mason, the members of Team K also stood here and looked at the ruins in front of them.
Their expressions varied, but without exception they all maintained solemnity and dignity. After hearing about Old Wolf's final choice, the cowboy boy Blue Beetle was now crying like a sissy.
This kind of plot of a tough guy going to his death always touches the overly impulsive hearts of young people.
Professor Stein, who has seen many changes in the world, recorded this scene in his notebook. He has entered his old age, but this does not prevent him from gaining new insights from new experiences.
"How about it?"
Mason picked up a cigarette and sniffed it, then whispered to the super "thorny" Kara El beside him:
"Do you still think I'm an asshole who deceived you?"
"You're still a total jerk Batboy in my heart, there's no doubt about that."
Kara, still suffering from the rejection reaction, wrapped herself in a blanket. She did not look at Mason, but said in a hoarse voice:
"But Team K isn't hopelessly bad. As for my opinion, does it matter? I'm already on this pirate ship...Okay, don't look at me like that.
I admit we are doing something right and I will not stand up to you anymore, Mason.
Or, Mr. Captain."
"Very good. You are not hopelessly stubborn yet."
Mason shrugged, patted Zod, who also had a solemn expression beside him, and turned around with Barbara and Harley and walked into the floating energy gate behind them.
Black Bolt is already waiting to set sail in the palace of Attilan. All the swordsman needs to do is tear through time and space to give a precise phase coordinate, and the city can escape from this hopeless wilderness and enter a new world.
Ten minutes later, the swordsman arrived as promised.
The black rift in time and space opened, and Mason, who was standing in the royal garden of Attilan and looking at the wasteland, retracted his gaze and said goodbye to his hometown and friends in his heart.
"You know that the legend about Team K has begun to spread among the B-level members of the Star Society, right?"
The swordsman standing beside him was leaning on the Soul Blade to maintain the space-time rift that Attilan could transfer to. She whispered:
"Every time Team K takes part in an operation, our fellow members of the Star Society suffer heavy losses, and any world you have conquered will inevitably be destroyed. They have already called you the 'Doom Team'.
Now even our hometown is about to be destroyed by you, the name of "doom" is really so terrifying."
The yellow-haired girl Liana pouted and said:
"If I didn't know your background, I would also want to stay away from you, you unlucky bastards."
"Just laugh."
Mason glanced at her and said calmly:
"Hurry up and laugh. I'll tell you the truth later and I'll see if you can still laugh."
"Harley?"
In the garden, Barbara picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Robin, who was sitting on a chair with a frown on her face. She rarely saw Harley maintain such a serious state, it was so rare that it was like seeing Erha suddenly become serious and think about a problem.
Batgirl asked curiously:
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"I don't know either."
Harry took the glass and took a sip, wiped his mouth, rubbed his head and said:
"But I seem to have forgotten something important... Let me think, ah! I remember, that crazy woman! The mutant crazy woman that Kevin and I released.
We haven't found her yet.
Where the hell did she go?
"Whoosh"
Amid Harley's screams, the entire Attilan disappeared into the space-time rift opened by the swordsman.
The Grand Master-level energy manipulation caused the rifts left after they left to be quickly smoothed out, without leaving any disturbance in time and space. Only a few minutes later, seven sonic explosion channels exploded above the ruins of New Babylon.
These special channels, used exclusively for the operations of the Cleaners and Conquerors, were extremely destructive. Their opening made it seem as if fireworks were set off above the dead silent ruins. It was unknown what kind of information the Swordsman had sent to the Cleaners headquarters, but in any case, the first wave of Cleaners that landed included ten plunder carriers used to transport troops.
This powerful team was led by fifteen conquerors.
Perhaps due to some special considerations, these fifteen conquerors were all powerful men copied from the template of X-Men. After landing, they did not waste any time and rushed straight to the underground base.
"Bang"
The sealed gate of the base was twisted open by the terrifying force. The low collision sound and the sound of energy cutting startled Logan who was leaning deep in the base.
The old wolf didn’t know what had happened, but he understood that the person who appeared here at this time could definitely not be a friend.
So he grinned, stretched out his hand and knocked on the energy capsule next to him, which had already turned purple and was slowly operating like a raging flame, and said to Captain Atom who was lying inside and had absorbed energy to the limit:
"I guess Mason was afraid that our journey to hell would be too lonely, so he found these 'friends' for us. That young man never forgot to show his warmth.
Can you still hold on?"
"It's already... OK..."
Captain Atom suppressed the pain of the restless energy and said with difficulty:
"Start it...it won't be painful. It will only take a moment and everything will be over."
"Then bear with it."
Logan blew out a puff of smoke and reached out to enter the password in the energy cabin as Mason instructed. Due to the lack of corresponding components, this process had to be done manually, which was why Old Wolf had to stay here.
A special probe protruded from the bottom and integrated into Captain Atom's completely quantized body.
This is the "detonation" sequence, which requires only ten seconds of guidance to allow the violent power in Captain Atom's body to erupt in the most destructive way possible.
The Red Skull, who was chained tightly to the energy cabin, had a premonition that the end was approaching.
He struggled frantically, yelling and cursing, trying his best to use the psychic power emanating from Professor X's brain in his head to influence Logan and Captain Atom.
But the former was wearing Lao Wan's helmet, while the latter had already entered the detonation procedure, with his eyes emitting terrifying purple arcs of light.
Neither of them paid any attention to the Red Skull's yelling and cursing; they treated it as the accompaniment to a death funeral. You know what, the feeling of going to hell amid the enemy's curses is really quite unique.
With the shouts and roars, the powerful conquerors were already within sight.
Logan blocked the way to the energy cabin. Amid the body bags scattered around him, he spat out the cigarette butt from the corner of his mouth, faced the familiar faces in front of him, and thrust out his fists with steel claws that were slightly melted but still ferocious.
His face, which had completely returned to its youthful appearance, revealed an expression of rebellious sarcasm and laughter.
When the conquerors saw the rising purple light, they realized that something was wrong and they turned around and fled, just like a group of cowardly little ghosts who were afraid to fight a life-and-death battle straight into hell with the old wolf whose claws had popped out as the end of the world approached.
"During the years of imprisonment, I always wanted to see the stars... I can't see the stars in my hometown anymore, but the stars here are okay..."
Captain Atom's intermittent voice rang out in the purple light that burst out in the darkness, and he said to Logan:
"Go ahead, Wolverine, I'll cheer for you."
"Ha, as you wish, my friend, I will bid you farewell with blood!"
Logan roared and pounced forward, and in the light of annihilation that burst out behind him, he stabbed his claws into the back of Conqueror Cyclops.
A flash of blood suddenly appeared, and then disappeared in the white light in the next moment.
It was as if a special singularity opened here, and wherever the white light spread, steel, earth, and the cleaner's mothership were decomposed into the humblest stardust in the universe.
It looks slow, but it is actually very fast, covering the entire world in just a few seconds.
"The starlight... is so beautiful."
The ghostly echo resounded in the silence of all things, and then returned to eternal silence.
Logan also closed his eyes in this destructive beam. He was like a veteran who had fought for countless years and finally could stop and rest.
In the doomsday that came 17 years late, he seemed to see his former friends appear in front of him with smiles, including Professor X, Jean Grey, Cyclops who he had just killed again, Iceman, Rogue, and Catwoman...
Uh, the last phantom cat with disheveled hair and looking like a crazy woman is particularly real.
"What the hell is going on..."
"Snap"
His already shattered hand was grabbed, and as Logan watched in astonishment, a rift in time and space opened up, and the next moment, he disappeared into the silent doomsday.
It's like an inconspicuous ripple when destruction comes.
