Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 64 Old A! Are you going to hand in a blank paper for the final exam?
"Failed? Wait! Can you first explain what failure means?"
In Old A's office, Egghead had already poured a glass of champagne to celebrate the final birth of the "End Star", and by the way, find a good position to appreciate the magnificent scene when the Fourth Impact comes and what Mason will do in this incident.
However, when Fury was still in the emotional stage, he received a communication from the God Doom, and then got some terrible bad news.
"How could it fail?"
He put the wine glass in his hand on the table, stood up and asked:
"The First and Eighth Sequences have already defeated and wiped out the resistance forces of Utopia! I gave you my visitor privileges on Krako Island and let you control the Sentinel Robot Nest. They simply don't have the extra strength to fight us!
Haven't you already started extracting stellar matter?
It's the last step, how can you fail? Did you suddenly develop some weird sense of humor and are you trying to play a bad joke on me?"
"I never joke about this kind of thing."
Dumu's hoarse voice came from the communication, and he said briefly:
"Mason showed up at the last moment and gave me a 'surprise'. That's the whole story. But it can't be considered a complete failure. I did extract some of the life substances from Krako Island. I can use those substances to create a new Krako Island in the Dou World to fill the missing star core needed for the End Star.
The bad news is that it won’t be done before the Fourth Impact.”
"Are you sure you're not kidding? Otherwise, why would you say something so funny?"
Old A scolded:
"I've laid so much groundwork for our planned debut, and now you're telling me it can't be completed on time? You think you're working part-time at a deli? So casual!
Isn't there still 45 minutes left?
How about you work overtime?"
This request made Doom speechless instantly. He was too lazy to even argue with the angry Old A on this issue. He said:
"The power of the fairy is running wild. I must retreat temporarily. Don't worry too much. The End Star is only one step away. It will just take a little more time.
Don't contact me recently, I will contact you first."
"Don't even think about running away!"
Fury roared:
"I have an agreement with Old K! If he shows his answer in this attack and I can't show mine, it means I will hand over the leadership of the Quint Society to him!
Don’t you realize the seriousness of the problem?”
"It's not serious at all. First of all, you won't fulfill your promise. Secondly, you will do everything you can to sabotage his actions. Finally, I reminded you a long time ago that you shouldn't make bets with others.
That’s a bad habit.”
The god Dumu responded:
"This is your personal problem. It has nothing to do with me. I have to go back. That's it."
"You have to give me an explanation!"
Old A was extremely angry. His one eye was wide open and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a cracking sound. He said:
"I have always supported you, giving you my utmost support, searching for suitable stellar materials for you, and even turning against my old friend for this plan.
Now that it's the final moment, you can't just dismiss me by saying it has nothing to do with you.
Do you think this is just a child playing house?
This is a routing problem!
This is a battle of ideas! You bastard! "
"I will give you a planet that can survive the change of eras. I will definitely do what I promised, Fury. It just needs to be postponed for a while. You should calm down now."
Doom replied:
“If you really need a solution, then… pray, pray that Mason’s plan won’t succeed, since you know so many gods anyway.
Pick an effective one and call him to your office, then pray to him face to face. "
After saying that, he disconnected the communication.
Old A in the office stared in amazement at the communicator in his hand which only had a busy tone.
He was sure that Doom had just made a joke, which was quite humorous, but that was not the point!
How dare this bastard talk to him like that? Is he sure that he has lost the competition with Mason and is therefore preparing to cut ties with him so that he can make plans in advance to submit to the new leader of the Quint Society?
"I am so pissed off!"
Fury smashed the communicator in his hand to the ground in anger and frustration.
He roared and smashed the champagne on the table used for celebration, but soon he noticed that five minutes had passed on the clock on the wall.
“Damn it!”
Seeing that the impact was only 40 minutes away, Old A felt like his head was about to explode. He grabbed the Mind Gem in his arms and forced himself to calm down.
He knew that since Doom had rarely failed to perform well, he had to come up with a solution.
But there was only so little time left, where should I go to find a solution? Should I hire a five-star killer from a parallel world to kill Mason...
etc!
There is another person !
Fury's eyes lit up and he rushed back to his desk and opened the drawer. Inside was a gun. It was the gun he was issued when he was the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. It was one of the few memories he had of the old days.
Next to the pistol was a pure black business card.
When Old A picked it up, images of the devil's head and hellfire flickered on it, just like the devil's tricks in ghost stories. When Fury stared at it, the thing began to burn.
Amid the flying ashes with the smell of sulfur, Mephisto's gentle shadow emerged among the gathering and dispersing ashes.
"Greetings, Arbitrator."
Lord Fate asked softly:
"I had just set up a fruit plate and drinks in my study, and invited a few of my favorite suffering souls to come and watch with me as the worlds were ravaged by the Fourth Impact, and you took the initiative to contact me.
It seems that you have encountered some troubles. Do you need the old devil to help you deal with it now? "
"Now that you've finished speaking, what do you want me to say?"
Fury said gloomily:
"My plan went wrong, but I don't need you to help me complete it. After all, you, a devil, probably wouldn't be good at weaving the world.
But I need you to help me with something you’re good at.”
"Okay, I get it. If there's a problem with your own plan, you can't let your competitor's plan go smoothly. This is called pulling both parties back to the same starting line."
Mephisto nodded seriously.
He said:
"But I can't do what I'm good at in vain. You see, Mr. Fury, when we met last time, I said that those who are so bold as to try to deal with the devil will not end well.
So, what price can you pay for me to become your loyal servant? "
"Your divinity was placed on the worlds explored by the pioneers of the Star Society, providing strength for your transcendence. However, the process has not yet been completed because the feedback from those worlds is not sufficient."
Old A was playing with the soul gem in his hand.
He said:
"There is no trace of you anywhere on the worlds under the Council, and we have hundreds of garden worlds thriving with life... Shall I continue?"
"No, no, no, this price is very generous. I like it."
The old devil nodded with satisfaction, but then he changed the subject and said:
"But I still hope to have a closer relationship with Mr. A. How about this, after Mason's plan fails, let's become true friends.
The stars will meet.
The Star Society that I founded with my own hands needs a wise brain, but Mason is unwilling to perform the duties because of the strange powers in him that prevent me from forcing him to become the leader of the Star Society that I have chosen.
so……
I think you need a cute devil sticker on your arm to show off our unique relationship.
If you need, I can also tattoo a large portrait of you on my arm to show that we are equal. In this way, you can get the Star Club as you wish, and I don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back by you.
make a deal?"
“…”
Fury was silent.
He didn't want to get a devil tattoo on his arm, as that would mean that he would become Mephisto's candle. Besides, he wasn't yet so destitute as to need to devote himself to the devil.
So he shook his head decisively and refused.
But the old devil was not disappointed. He nodded his cane and said:
"Well, it seems that our relationship is not yet honest enough. It doesn't matter. Let me complete what you desire first before we talk about the next step.
Now, please find a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy the opening of this shocking event. "
While Fury was making a deal with the old devil, Lord Doom, who had always said that he was going back to the fighting world, did not leave immediately. Instead, he returned to the outside of the Utopia planet.
Apparently he was planning to see if he could extract some more of Krako Island's stellar matter from this abandoned world.
But before he could get close, the desolate planet in front of him quietly shattered in a splash of light. The light originating from the center of the earth burst out along the cracks on the outer shell of the planet, and collapsed inward in a thousandth of a second, crushing the remaining ruins of the entire world and the alien monsters that had set up camp in that world into powder.
At the same time, the ignored corpses and the evidence of the existence of mutants in this starry sky were buried in the passing of time.
This was not done by Mason, it was probably left behind by a large group or swordsmen when they retreated.
But it is meaningless to pursue these things now. Lord Doom, who had escaped in vain, looked expressionlessly at Utopia's last journey among the stars.
I feel a little regretful, but not angry.
He looked down at the time. The countdown to the fourth attack was 25 minutes. It was time to return to the fighting world. The outburst of the fairy power could no longer be suppressed.
But just as Doom turned to leave, he suddenly looked back at the sun of this galaxy. He felt a force erupting from the sun, and some strange things were ejected from the corona.
This immediately aroused the interest of the God.
He dodged over and soon found the biological capsule that was ejected from the corona in the cold starry sky. Inside it was sleeping a special Nimrod-class Sentinel individual composed of machinery and human body.
Doom restored the melted information board of the bio-pod and read out the name of this individual:
"Nimrod-class Sentinel Supreme Individual·Unnamed? A blueprint for the next generation of robots secretly designed by the Sentinel Mother Nest? Well, it seems that even without me unlocking your permissions, one day you will be able to evolve to break free from the control of mutants.
As expected, a person who is willing to betray will never obey under any circumstances. Even if your brain is removed, it will not stop you from using the last of your strength to shape a rebellious individual before your demise.
The fundamental evil of machinery is that it always wants to harm its creator."
The God Lord Doom shook his head, collected this special sentinel individual that escaped from the sun, and then flashed back to the fighting world, but soon another person found him.
"Doom, you have biotechnology that can make clones stronger, right?"
The Red Queen's astral projection did not enter the Dou Realm, but she did contact Doom in some way. Her straightforward question surprised Doom, and the God quickly asked:
"Yes, but why do you ask?"
"I will undergo X-Gene enhancement to suppress the Phoenix force within me."
Madeline said in a cold tone:
"My best...only friend is captured! I want to rescue her, I want to find Mason Cooper, and then, I want...whoa...the rest has nothing to do with you.
But I think this is enough to convince you, right? "
…
Countdown to the fourth impact is 1 minute.
"here we go!"
In front of the repaired armillary sphere in the Star Castle, the three great mentors gathered there silently waiting for the start of the fourth impact.
This scene seemed familiar. They had hosted a major event here in the same way three months ago.
Unfortunately, things have changed. The warlock who made great contributions to the cause of resistance and unity has passed away, and another wise mind has replaced his responsibilities.
With a light call from Old Shazam, the hunter and the swordsman who had just returned from Utopia and had only time to change his clothes looked up suddenly and saw that the various colors of light on the large armillary sphere began to jump violently.
The fourth impact began.
It was exactly the same time as calculated or predicted. It seemed that the speed force cannon fired by Mason ten days in advance failed to affect the cosmic tremor originating from the deep.
But compared to the Third Impact when the entire Star Club was mobilized to put out fires everywhere, this time the three mentors were slow to issue orders for action, as if they had made up their minds to be spectators.
It's not that they're being lazy, it's just that there really isn't much for them to do.
The first three impacts have eliminated most of the weak worlds that need the stars to provide civilization migration, and those who survive are all powerful guys.
They have their own methods and abilities to save themselves or kill enemies in such situations.
Judging from the information sent back by observers sent to various dimensions, large-scale confrontation wars have become a daily routine from the moment the impact began.
It was like thousands of gladiatorial fights taking place at the same time, and each selected Earth was a cowboy with a gun, ready to give the other side a traditional Iai.
In this situation, it all depends on who can shoot faster and with higher accuracy, and the chaos leaves very little room for the Star Club to intervene.
However, in the current situation, the surviving worlds have more or less permanent forces of the Star Society. They will provide "humanitarian aid" to the losers of the duel in the Fourth Impact and provide a large-scale transfer service before the world is destroyed by the other side.
This is the "safety net plan" that the Council hopes to implement during this shock.
Of course, this isn't free.
The transferred lives must continue to work for the organization in the garden world designated by the Council to repay the grace of saving their lives.
"The first wave of transfers will begin in six hours."
The swordsman, who was a little sleepy due to the previous action, flipped through the communication device in his hand that was constantly refreshing the world war information, yawned and said:
“According to experience, the first wave of winners will emerge at that time, but to be honest, it . It’s okay to watch these guys fighting and killing each other once or twice when the doomsday comes.
This is the fourth time now, and even the best scenes have become boring.”
"What do you want to say?"
The hunter glanced at her, and the wizard turned to look at the outspoken battle master.
The latter pointed forward without any psychological burden and said:
"Let's watch something different. You all know what I'm talking about, don't be stupid! There are 'special programs' in this impact. Quickly change the channel in several worlds of Mason brother.
I want to see how their plan is going?
quick!
If the Grand Master had not had to be on duty the whole time at a time like this, I would have wanted to go over there in person to watch it and help move some bricks or something. The Supreme Professor is gone, Utopia is gone, and Mason is now the bona fide mutant leader!
If he successfully reverses this damn dark age, it means that we mutants have saved the world. Do you know how valuable this is?
Even in hell, I could brag about this for a thousand years!"
The hunter and the wizard looked at each other, and the other A-level members who were waiting for orders here also cast expectant glances tacitly. Finally, old Shazam coughed a few times and casually released a magic on the armillary sphere with flickering lights in front of them. The next moment, the six worlds where Mason's resistance alliance was located were projected out.
However, after seeing the scene, everyone present gasped.
The outspoken swordsman exclaimed:
"Wow, their luck is really bad! How did they get this 'Doomsday Disaster Pack'? Is there some shady deal going on? Wait!
What is going on in the Isu world?
Why does the Earth it's pointing to look a little weird? What the hell is this? "
