Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 31: In our place, this thing is called a bar weapon
The bottle that should have been thrown out of the window was put back on the table.
This little episode did not attract the attention of other people on the third floor of the bar, but seeing Conqueror Kang sitting opposite the drunkard, Ms. Janet immediately felt a palpitation.
If the bottle in Kang's hand had not been thrown down and hit Mason on the head at the right time, perhaps everything she knew afterwards would have been changed.
When a butterfly begins to flap its wings...
"Who are you?"
The drunk with his head down cursed unhappily, but Kang didn't care about this pleasure-seeking guy. On the contrary, he held the bottle of rum in his hand, raised his head and smiled at Ms. Janet who was walking towards him.
It seemed that he had already guessed that the two would meet under such circumstances.
"Bang"
The original Wasp raised her wrist and fired a shot into the sky, then opened her handbag to reveal a bomb that had already started counting down, and shouted to the quiet surroundings:
"This is a personal grudge, everyone who has nothing to do with it please get out!"
Normally, such behavior would cause an uproar in other places, but this is Gotham, and it is a bar opened by the Penguin. Those who can have fun here are naturally not ordinary people.
Even though there was a ticking bomb in front of them, the crowd still evacuated in a very orderly manner, and some gentlemanly guys even protected their female companions.
After a few seconds of slow and orderly progress, the circle of people was cleared out.
The wrist cannon, which was pulsating with energy, aimed at Conqueror Kang in front of her. Janet stared at him and said:
"Drop that bottle! Now!"
"You're still like this, pushing me to do things I don't want to do. Maybe you should take some time to reflect on why we can't be together, Janet."
Kang shrugged, not feeling threatened at all. Instead, he rested his arms on the table in a relaxed manner and said to the Wasp, with whom he had a deep relationship:
“Now the bottle is in my hand. Don’t worry. There are still a few minutes until the node of destiny arrives. Maybe we can talk.
Come here, Janet.
sit down!
You know that killing me here will only make things worse, and you've tried it before, so you should have learned your lesson."
Ms. Janet stared at him, wishing she could shoot the bastard right away, but in the end she stepped forward and pushed the drunk to the seat next to her.
She sat down opposite Kang the Conqueror and said:
"You are the leader of Kang's army now? You are doing well."
“No, I’m not. The leader is another guy. He’s currently being hunted down by Kang’s rebels from other timelines. He might die in the next second.
But that was a necessary risk for him as the leader. No one cared about his fate. There were too many ambitious and capable mutants waiting to succeed him.
Sadly, I lost interest in this game a long time ago.
You can’t be against yourself, and you are always your own worst opponent.”
Kang in front of me was just chatting with an old friend. He was playing with the bottle of wine in his hand and said:
"I've been studying fate recently, and I happened to come across Old A organizing people to assassinate Mason. I thought it was interesting, so I participated. While other idiots like Kang were still working on reversing the future in a fate that had already begun, I was the only one who realized that Mason's unique fate had already begun before his story officially progressed.
You know, everyone's life is a finished book to me, and I lost interest in exploring these various but already-forged destinies a long time ago.
However, the more I research Mason Cooper's life, the fewer answers I am sure of and the more doubts I have. This is why I have invited you to this conversation.
Janet, let me ask you a question, do you really know the leader you trust?"
Kang had a very meaningful smile on his dark face, and he said to Ms. Janet who was sitting opposite him:
“If you answer correctly, I will hand you this bottle with a smile, and let you complete it and ensure that this node of destiny moves forward smoothly.
Answer me!
Do you really know Mason?"
"What do you want to say?"
Janet, who knew Kang's bad character well, skipped the answering part. She stared at Kang in front of her with her body tense and said:
"Tell me what you have researched. You seem to want to reach some kind of agreement with me, just like you did when you deceived and used me before."
"It seems like you have a different understanding of that relationship than I do. That's a shame. I thought you were going to enjoy it."
Kang shook his head and put the bottle in his hand on the table, shaking it with only one-third of the wine left. Although there was a drunkard talking nonsense next to the two men, they didn't pay any attention to him.
"Mason's origins are more mysterious than you think!"
Kang the Conqueror narrowed his eyes and said to Janet:
“The little guy who claimed to be born in Gotham, was abused by his adoptive father since childhood and was forced to join the gang, and started his heroic life by chance, was hiding a very terrible secret.
Have you looked at the first seventeen years of his life?
Did you go see him when he was taken away from your hometown and mine in that fateful night, when he was sent to Gotham as a baby, when he was adopted, and in the seventeen years he grew up in this city?
Let me tell you, Janet.
The past was like a background specially written to explain Mason Cooper's entire existence. It seemed important but meaningless.
Before you came, I had already conducted 'experiments' on him at many points in his past seventeen years.
The result is surprising. No matter how Mason Cooper's fate changed in the first seventeen years of his life, it would not affect the things he would do in the future.
It's like a life that has been cut apart...
Although they share the same name, identity and even the same face, they are two completely different people with no connection at all! The fate of the Mason Cooper you know begins tonight.
To be precise, two minutes later, when he was walking down the street below us with a lost look on his face, and was hit on the head by the bottle in my hand!
And now Mason Cooper, who is about to get off work in the bar kitchen, is just an ordinary person in Gotham City, a nobody who no one cares about and no one will pay attention to.
That’s what I wanted to tell you!”
Kang leaned forward, staring at Janet's complicated eyes, and said:
"Your leader is a shameful thief! This guy from nowhere stole Mason Cooper's life. He tried his best to play the hero, perhaps out of guilt.
You don't know Mason at all!
He deceived you just like he deceived everyone around him.
But you are willing to sacrifice your no longer young life for his career. You are still as sentimental, naive, and stupid as before."
"Are you trying to turn me against you?"
Ms. Janet sneered and said:
"That's a poor excuse. Do you think I will let you push Mason's fate off track just because of your nonsense?
It doesn't matter what his past is like, my only concern is whether he can turn this dark age around in the future.
And I am Mason's guard on the timeline!
I won't allow you to destroy our future, that bottle!
Leave it to me! "
"No! I didn't intend to distort the future. I only wanted to explore the past. The answers and endings of the future have already been determined in the past."
Kang the Conqueror shook his head and extended an invitation to Janet, saying:
"Mason is an 'outsider'. His existence itself is a certain answer to this dark age. It represents the attention from the 'outside world' and the actions of those unknown lives that want to interfere with this era.
I don't intend to worry about the future anymore.
Now I just want to figure out where Mason came from. The future no longer belongs to me. I haven’t seen the other Kangs clearly yet, but I have already seen through the ending.
Whether Mason wins or Old A wins, in the next era there will no longer be the Kang Dynasty monopolizing time to build our undefeated empire.
That was inevitable.
But if I can take this opportunity to escape this dark place, perhaps I can open up a new life and story, Janet, and I invite you to join me.
We can trace back from Mason Cooper's 'birth' tonight, and together we can find the door that was the starting point of Mason's life!
That is the best answer to this dark age and uncertain future.
That is the most direct relief.
That door is about to open, and you can leave this boring era with me, and we will explore the unknown together, just like we depended on each other in the quantum field back then."
His eyes, full of tenderness, fixed on Lady Janet, and he said:
"I don't want to hide it from you, I really loved..."
"puff"
The pointed high-heeled shoes were lifted from under the table like a stretched spring, and kicked Kang's lower body accurately, causing the latter to blush as he said goodbye with affection.
"That's my answer to you! Asshole, I'm no longer the kind of young girl who would fall into the same pit twice. It's not your turn to explain whether Mason lied to us or not.
I believe him as much as I want to kill you right now."
The first Wasp succeeded in her attack, stood up and slapped Kang on the shoulder, snatched the bottle from his hand, kicked him over, stood up and flew to the window to look down.
She saw Mason Cooper, with his head hunched, staggering through the crowd on the pedestrian street below, so she raised the bottle in her hand and prepared to throw it down.
But Kang, who stood up from behind, grabbed Ms. Janet's long hair and roughly pulled her back from the window. The latter wanted to reduce the confrontation but Kang knocked the Pym particle device out of his arms first, so a man and a woman started fighting by the window.
Eh~
A grown man actually hits a woman!
shameless!
There were only a few seconds left before Mason's fateful moment . It was too late to activate any high-tech equipment. It was like a couple who were breaking up and were overwhelmed by their emotions. They were fighting with punches and kicks, leaving the surroundings in a mess in a moment.
"Ha, I can get away without you!"
Kang pressed Janet down on the sofa, put his left hand around her neck to restrain her in place, then raised his hand and slapped Janet in the face, knocking the bottle of wine out of her hand.
As he roared, the Wasp reached out to grab the falling bottle, but Kang shot out his hidden knife and hit her waist. In severe pain, she could only watch the bottle roll to the ground and roll in the other direction.
Finished!
I can’t catch up, damn it!
"Hah, watch Mason Cooper's life change course. I admit I lied just now. I never get tired of seeing these great people become ordinary people due to my intervention.
Everyone fears fate.
And I am destiny!
You stupid woman who broke my heart, you could have shared the throne..."
Kang laughed.
He grabbed Ms. Janet by the neck and pressed her against the wall. The latter was already in a state of disarray after the brutal fight, and she was angry because her breathing was suppressed.
But the next moment, Ms. Janet's eyes widened.
Among the mess of tables and chairs behind Kang, the drunkard bent down to pick up a bottle with some wine left in it from the ground, raised his head and drank the rest of the wine in the bottle without any disgust, then he let out a comfortable sigh, wiped his mouth and held the bottle in his backhand.
He quickly stepped forward and smashed the empty bottle on Kang's forehead with a bang.
There was blood splatter and the sound of wine bottles breaking. Then, he skillfully stabbed the freshly-made "bar weapon" into Kang's lower back as if holding a dagger.
The attack was ruthless and extinguished all chances of survival.
The millions of details in this one move are at least as high as a fifteen or sixteen-story building, and this superb technique of the five-star kidney strike cannot be mastered without killing thousands of people.
"Hey, man."
The guy put his hand on Kang's shoulder and said drunkenly behind his back:
"I just wanted to ask you, you are so brave, how dare you disturb me while I am drinking? And you kept talking to me about fate, the future and other weird and stupid things.
As an ant, you should have some self-awareness and don't pay attention to topics that you don't understand at all.
Besides, you actually dared to bully such a cute and hot aunt in front of me... Hey, I despise the weaklings who beat women the most, lie down!"
The moment the murder weapon from the bar, stained with blinding blood, was pulled out, Kang fell to the ground as if he had lost all his strength. Death came so suddenly that confusion and surprise were still flashing in this guy's wide-open eyes as he fell in a pool of blood.
Who could have thought that a man who could manipulate the empire of time would die tragically in a bar fight like a fighting thug?
Ms. Janet, who was holding her neck and coughing violently, also leaned against the window. She didn't have time to wipe the blood from her mouth and nostrils. She just kept her eyes on Mason in the crowd below.
The latter has approached this window.
The broken bottle was handed to her, with Kang's blood still dripping from it. The drunkard took out a pipe, put it in his mouth and kicked Kang's body.
He raised his head and brushed his long hair, then gave the old lady a scoundrelly smile and said:
"You coming? Or should I?"
"Come on, you look like a master."
Janet took a step back. She stared at the down-and-out but by no means simple drunk in front of her, watching him exhale a smoke ring and then throw it away.
The broken wine bottle flew out of the window, spun down, and after spinning dozens of times in the air, it accurately hit the head of the unlucky guy below.
The staggering Mason fell into the crowd with a thud, and bled amid the screams of people around him.
"I give myself nine points for this fatal throw. I gave myself one less point because I was afraid that I would become proud. Ha, everything is done! It's easy and fun."
The drunkard laughed and rolled up the window, his posture looking like an old man who had done something bad but was very skilled at it.
It was not until this moment that Ms. Janet noticed that this drunkard actually had a pair of extremely rare ocean blue eyes, as if the entire ocean was contained in his pupils.
"Who are you?"
The Wasp asked breathlessly:
"You're the one who brought Mason into this world? Are you his...some kind of guardian angel?"
"Angel?"
The drunkard curled his lips and said:
"If you continue to humiliate me like this, I will beat you, Auntie. You look like a smart person and you should know how to keep your mouth shut when the time is right."
"I understand."
Ms. Janet glanced at Kang, who was lying on the ground with his eyes open, and she suddenly realized that she was asking a fatal question.
She assured:
" I promise! I will never tell anyone else about what happened tonight!"
"Ha, when someone tells me 'I promise' it means they can't keep a secret, just like when they say 'trust me' they're ready to lie."
The mysterious drunkard winked and said to Ms. Janet mysteriously:
"In fact, the solution is very simple. You see, as long as you don't remember that I was here, then I have never been here."
"you……"
The Wasp suddenly felt something was wrong.
But the pair of ocean-blue eyes in front of her had begun to spin strangely.
It was like a black hole was swallowing up all her attention.
The whole world seemed to start dancing, those sounds came into her ears, and then the dim sea of stars smiled at her, and the lost and beautiful nebula whispered in her ears.
The truth of the universe smiled at her and opened its arms.
In the rotating dark nebula, a figure in a black robe with thousands of snake tentacles was staring at her. Under the hood of the endless dark sea of stars, seven eyes of truth were flashing.
Ah, come, kneel before the Silent One and enjoy the glory of the darkness.
A smile from the heart appeared on the old lady's embarrassed face.
With her memory as a guide, all the speedsters and Kang's memories of this time travel are disappearing and being erased, but she seems to gradually understand everything...
This feeling of cleansing the soul is so hot!
