Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 26 Black Death Sword vs Black Death Sword! Come on, let’s duel with magic!
Ciri rushed out of the room called "rest" but actually imprisoned, carrying her weapon on her back. The soul stone containing her parents' souls was hung on her chest and placed close to her body.
When she decided to come here, she knew that nothing good would happen, but after she got here, she was forced to drink a cup of potion to clear her strength, which left her with little ability to protect herself.
But the good news is that the things are in hand and the third commander has defected at this critical moment, so the hunter will not become a delicate princess hiding in the house and waiting for Mason, Prince K, to rescue her.
She rushed out of the room and saw corpses strewn all over the corridor leading to the elevator. The sound of fist fighting could be heard not far away. But she didn't have time to take a closer look and rushed into the elevator, heading towards the surface.
This is the super mutant base of Lord Doom. Compound No. 5, which can enhance the power of mutants, was discovered in this world. Plus, there is a tradition of using this strange drug to give birth to a group of "professional heroes" here, so it is most appropriate for the Council to use it as a secret military station.
"Mason? Mason! Answer received."
Ciri was panting in the elevator, trying to regain some strength. She supported her body with the sword of the Lady of the Lake that glowed faintly in the dark, and used the communicator on her armor wrist to contact her lover.
Old A's intention of trapping her here is definitely sinister. Once Mason heads towards the underground base, he will easily be trapped in this maze-like area more than 300 meters underground.
Killing is not the most important purpose, the main purpose is to consume time to trap him to death. Steve said that Old A arranged a neutron killing, and Ciri believed that the bastard would definitely use more than just this weapon.
"Hello?"
Mason's voice soon sounded in the communicator, which made the nervous Ciri feel relieved, and then he shouted:
"Don't come down! I'll go up and meet you right away. The world has been blocked, and Old A has made a lot of preparations. There are only thirty minutes left before the first wave of neutron killings.
We...you must find a way to leave immediately."
"I'm a bit busy right now."
Mason spoke with energy-induced interference in the background, like an intermittent response in some strong magnetic environment. He said:
"I've located your elevator. Come up and wait for me there. You sound a little weak."
"The stuff is already in hand."
Ciri coughed twice and said:
"I confirm that it is true. You just need to take this soul stone out..."
"Don't be silly."
The captain said decisively and helplessly:
"I have to bring your body back too, right? I'm about to start my charge. See you later."
He cut off the communication, and Ciri took a breath, leaning against the rising elevator to recover her strength.
Her abilities as a demon hunter and her talent of elder blood were weakened by the potion, but as a great mentor she still had the power of Mephisto to use. Although she hated this power very much, she had decided to die now, so there was no need to suppress this power that came from darkness and hell.
Then, as her breathing gradually became regular, dark red energy transformed into arcs that began to dance outside her body, and a halo like burning ash appeared in her cat-like pupils.
It is somewhat similar to the posture of a swordsman fighting with all his strength, and it also adds a sense of weirdness to Ciri's original cold and gloomy temperament.
She felt her strength being replenished and she stood up and swung her sword. The dark arc of the sword made her quite satisfied.
At this time, the ascending elevator had reached a hundred meters underground. When entering the upper level of the base, the Hunter suddenly felt a mind-burning energy floating there, and she looked back in surprise.
Looking out through the elevator and the transparent area outside, a strange experiment is being carried out in a huge upper space with the assistance of a group of robots. In the center of the industrial-feeling laboratory stands a huge biological tank filled with blue liquid, and a woman with long red hair is suspended in the liquid.
She should not have woken up yet, but there were already flickering flames floating in the blue biological fluid.
Although it only took a few seconds to cross this space at the speed of the elevator, when Ciri saw this woman, her eyes narrowed immediately.
"Madeline? Didn't she go missing? Why is she here?!"
The hunter's mind raced, and he immediately realized that the Red Queen was most likely one of the fatal moves that Old A had arranged for Mason.
And if a dangerous guy who has absorbed a large amount of Phoenix power and is transforming into a Dark Phoenix is just part of the hunt for Mason, then it can be seen how powerful the killing array that Old A spent so much time constructing is.
"Mason has to get out of here now!"
Ciri made up her mind.
She touched the soul stone placed close to her chest and whispered:
"I can't let that little man be in danger again because of me. You have always taught me this."
A few seconds later, the upward elevator finally reached the surface. The moment the heavy metal hatch slid open, four figures simultaneously rushed towards the Hunter who had finally changed into the "Star Society Pioneering Grand Mentor Combat Skin".
The Red Devil, Night Walker, Flash and Phantom Cat, whose potential has been stimulated by Compound No. 5, have become the most deadly assassins in the starry sky. Their Flash attacks are so fast that they cannot be locked at all.
But Ciri doesn't need to be locked in either.
The Grand Master, who has fully activated his devilish powers, seems to have an invisible "ring of force" around him. Any life that enters this area will be bound in the air by the invisible and dark force.
There was no need for Ciri to actively control it, as four precise and deadly "Force Chokes" were inflicted on the attacker.
The dark-wrapped sword of the Lady of the Lake was swung up. Although he no longer had the magical power of the "Phantom Swordsmanship" bestowed by the blood of the elders, fighting with swords for so many years was enough to make the Lord Hunter the best swordsman.
Suddenly, blood flashed and heads fell to the ground.
The ruthless killing intimidated the surrounding super mutants who were ready to make a move, but they did not hesitate for long, perhaps because these guys who had just walked out of the bio-capsule were also given some kind of compulsory command, just like the Council used obedience programs to drive the first-sequence clones.
There was a force in their hearts that drove them to stop this woman who looked like she was not someone to be trifled with.
The heavy rain outside the building was still continuing, and the terrifying amount of rainfall had already submerged the ecological zone outside the ruins in a short period of time.
That was Mason's ability being pushed to the extreme.
"superior!"
A super mutant dressed like a low-profile version of Wonder Woman, holding a long sword and a round shield, shouted, and a group of super-strong minions around him rushed forward.
Ciri assumed the starting stance of the Wolf School's swordplay, preparing to indulge herself once before her death by learning the swordsman's style and engaging in a massive killing spree, but at the moment the two sides came into contact, a loud bang sounded from above the building.
Amid the explosion and collapse of more than thirty floors, the main power armor of the universe, shining with silver light, finally appeared and landed in front of Ciri with extreme precision.
Mason, wearing an X-metal helmet, had no expression on his face, but he was holding a near-death super mutant in each of his left and right hands.
It was several kilometers from the place where Old A had set an ambush for him to here. Mason had rushed all the way here, and his armor was still intact, reflecting the blood color as if it had been waxed.
He stared at the heroic black-haired woman who was the commander in the crowd and said:
“Queen Maeve, I just negotiated the terms with Azu, you should probably go ask your captain what to do next, this battle has nothing to do with you natives.
On the contrary, if you want to survive, the best way is to get out of here! And then hope that I can break the blockade of the world by those bastards before the neutron annihilation comes. "
He spoke slowly and logically, but unfortunately not everyone has enough rationality to listen to others in the face of such life-and-death pressure.
The fastest super red tank rushed over to crush Mason and his armor together, but the captain didn't even look at him. The moment the perfectly repaired main power armor of the universe clenched his fist, the six disposable infinity gems embedded in his chest flashed with colorful rainbow light.
With a bang, the red tank turned into flying soap bubbles the moment it was hit, making a scene that should have been extremely creepy so romantic.
The other super mutants around them were swept away by the erupting power of the gems and thrown to every corner of the world.
They were resisting, but there was little they could do against the superposition of six gems.
"Click"
After one clearing of the field, all the gems on the chest of Mason's armor shattered. Wrapped in the beautiful soap bubble formed by the explosion of the Red Tank, Mason whistled leisurely. Then, as Queen Maeve, who was left alone, watched with twitching eyes, he saw a phoenix fly out of the fire and land on Mason's shoulder, with a bag in its slender and sharp beak.
The captain took it in his hand and casually pulled out six disposable Infinity Stones and put them into the grooves in front of the armor. He glanced at the super professional hero in front of him and said in a low voice:
"You haven't thought about it yet? How about giving you a few more seconds?"
"No, I'll leave right away. Sorry to bother you two."
Queen Maeve "calmly" threw away the sword and shield in her hands, turned around and rushed into the rainstorm with a "mud give way to Luda" attitude, and disappeared in an instant.
What a joke!
A monster of this level is going to be beaten by people like them who treat superheroes as a career to make money and support their families? It seems that the A-Zu, who used to be hated by everyone, actually did a good thing today.
"You seem to be somewhat interested in the local heroes of this world?"
Seeing that Mason was unharmed and in good condition, Ciri, who had been worried, was relieved. She said to the captain who turned around and looked at her:
"Is there anything special about them? They look like a group of ordinary people playing a simulated hero game. They look very weak."
Mason didn't answer.
He and Fox, the phoenix on his shoulder, looked at Ciri with a very strange look. Seeing Ciri was a little shy, he couldn't help but brush his hair and said:
"What are you looking at? Is there something weird on my face?"
"It's just that your 'dark battle makeup' is pretty cool."
Mason looked at the dark lightning surrounding Ciri's long hair and joked:
"It's like I've suddenly transformed from a demon hunter into a super-powered little girl. It would be more suitable if I put on some eye shadow. By the way, are you interested in changing into a combat leather jacket in the future?
It will definitely suit you.”
"That's enough!"
Ciri blushed and scolded, then took off the soul stone from her neck and handed it to Mason, saying seriously:
"I leave it to you for safekeeping. You must take them out."
"I suspect there must be some evil positioning magic on this thing."
Mason complained, but still took the Soul Stone and handed it to Kevin who jumped out from his neck. The latter swallowed the Soul Stone into his stomach and returned to his hiding form.
"I saw Madeline down there! She was also used by Old A..."
Ciri was about to tell Mason what she saw Madeline when she suddenly heard strange singing. Mason turned his head to look at the sky covered by heavy rain. A large group of strange-looking guys were falling from the clouds in various postures.
“It’s a god!”
Ciri said behind him:
“As expected, the gods from various pantheons have come. Some of them have joined us, and the rest have followed the Council. This way, no matter who wins, their legends will continue.
I now suspect that the chaos and division shown by the faction of the gods from the beginning may be intentional. They are swayed enough not to offend any party so that there will be no real enemies who want to kill them. "
"You only figured it out now? I'm not bragging, but I knew what these guys were up to when I came into contact with them."
Mason closed his helmet again, and with a wave of his left hand in the Silver Power Armor, the Ragnarok pistol jumped into his hand and expanded into a hand cannon that could be used by the armor during the mechanical deformation.
The Black Death Sword residing inside it has smelled enough delicious scent to cause it to release a black substance that covers the high-tech gun body, making this thing look weird, as if it was cursed by an evil god.
"Mason Cooper! We don't have to fight!"
The gods standing proudly in the rainstorm and not affected by Mason's supernatural powers made their attitude clear.
These guys may be lacking in other aspects, but when posing, they are so accurate in positioning themselves, revealing a grand and sacred aura.
However, the position where Mason's Ragnarok pistol was pointing would suddenly become empty. The captain moved the muzzle of the gun left and right, and the gods in front of him would jump back and forth repeatedly.
How disgraceful!
“That’s enough!”
The leader of the gods in front of him is a guy who looks very similar to Odin, of course he is much younger than Odin of Asgard.
Speaking of which, the old man single-handedly blocked the Space Intervention Army in the previous fusion project, and he was said to have been injured. He is still recuperating in Asgard. Mason even wrote a thank-you letter to the old God King and gave it to Thor to take back.
The guy in front of him doesn't have the ease and composure of the old God King. He should be Odin from some magical dimension.
"We are here only for the fragment of the Black Death Sword in your hand!"
He said in a thunderous voice:
“It was originally sealed by the gods and given to the cleaners to collect divinity in all realms, but you got it. The fate of the Nabu god has warned us that such a dangerous thing cannot fall into the hands of mortals. It can only be used by you to kill and destroy.
Give it to us and we'll leave immediately."
"What else?"
Mason said in a muffled voice under his helmet:
"If I don't hand it over, are you going to bury me here? Also, you just said that you can leave here? It seems that you accidentally let it slip, Mr. Odin."
"Chiu"
As soon as the captain finished speaking, the phoenix on his shoulder screamed and flashed out, setting a raging fire above the gods. At this moment, Mason's gods-killing bullet was also fired, aiming directly at Odin.
But the latter was well prepared and threw something back to block in front of him. The bullet collided with the thing with a bang, and the metallic sound splashing in the air was so piercing that Ciri covered her ears.
Mason's face changed slightly. He felt the howling of the Black Death Sword coming from the Ragnarok pistol:
"The other me! The original me... It's calling me back... No! I'm free... I don't want to! Mason... My battle is coming... You... are a good swordsman... Hang on!
When I win... I'll help you kill them all!"
"Shua"
A black beam of light shot from the pistol into the sky. It was a game between the independent fragments of the Black Death Sword that had been obtained through Mason and the incomplete Black Death Sword in the hands of the gods.
They share the same origin and cannot resist this complete call, but judging from the message left by the Black Death Sword before it left, it is clear that it is very confident in its current self.
But the problem now is...
"boom"
The blinding lightning that fell from the sky instantly submerged Mason and Ciri. Zeus, with his eyes shining in the sky, called for the thunder above the rain-drenched clouds. He shouted:
"Although the sword-wielder has not yet appeared, you no longer have the Black Death Sword! God Slayer, today is the day you die!"
