Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 35 Yes, We Have a Baby
"Bang"
A-Zu flew out of the space crack opened by the hunter-lord at an extremely fast speed and in a very cool posture, and then crashed headfirst into the rocks of this uninhabited planet.
Because he was rushing too fast and had no way to slow down, he crashed into the mountain wall, and plowed a gully out of it with a loud noise of flying rocks.
This is really embarrassing.
But it didn't matter. After all, they had just completed an almost impossible escape and victory. Compared with the life they had just saved, it was just embarrassing and nothing serious.
Most of the other odd-looking professional heroes who rushed out with A-Zu thought the same.
As Mason said, for these workers who treat being a superhero as a stable job, don't expect them to have any lofty ideals or noble character.
For the Justice League, the moral obligation of a hero is to become the light that illuminates everyone in times of despair, but for the Vought heroes, being able to survive every bad situation is a victory!
After they escaped, they even cheered on the spot.
A few of them who were obviously having an affair even hugged each other and kissed passionately as if no one was around. If the current situation was not wrong, these guys actually wouldn't mind freely releasing the most primitive desires in their hearts to relieve the pressure in their hearts.
Compared to them, Mason and Lord Hunter, who finally walked out of the rift, were much more decent.
Firstly, it was because these two were well-informed. It was just a scene of the world exploding, wasn't it? Tsk, I've seen a lot, what's there to panic about?
Secondly, because Mason had accurately timed his actions, he was sure that his actions were all in plan, so there was no need for him to rush in so suddenly and destroy his image as a winner.
The Iron Queen followed Mason with a crying baby in her arms. Beside her followed the increasingly sturdy Iron Alien. This guy had a set of hunting armor made by Mason's manufacturing team to cover his hideous face. He looked like an enhanced Iron Bodyguard. No one could guess his true identity until he really started killing.
But Gollum is indeed an expert at taming animals.
Especially when it comes to training aliens, this iron-blooded alien is quite well-behaved beside her. Of course, it is also possible that it feels the breath of its "mother" and so dares not act rashly?
"Gulu! (She seems hungry.)"
The Queen is an expert at hunting and killing, but it is really hard for such a tough woman to take care of a child. She is protecting the infant version of Madeline in a very stiff manner, and poking Mason with her finger for help.
"Feed me when I'm hungry."
The captain glanced at her and said:
"What? Don't you always have powdered milk in your battle bag? It seems you still need to learn more from Harley in this regard."
"Gulu Gulu (Kill you, believe it or not! Asshole, don't make sarcastic remarks, her temperature is a little high, it seems she is sick.)"
The Queen complained angrily, and handed the baby in her arms to Mason for examination. The captain took it and checked the child's condition with his superb medical skills, then shook his head and said:
"No, she is very healthy. It should be the rapid gathering of vitality that caused her body temperature to rise. This may be normal, but to be on the safe side, she should be sent back to the New Osborne Tower and handed over to Emma.
wrong!
Emma has never taken care of a child before. I grew up in a biological jar, and she is also a novice mother. It seems that I have to leave it to Martha to make people feel more at ease. "
As Mason spoke, he activated Team K's communications, which had been silent until then.
Ciri's random teleportation sent them to an uninhabited planet, where no one knew. Since they couldn't use the World Gate, the speedsters had to make another trip.
"Mason? You survived? I knew it!"
The person who answered the call was Barbara.
Batgirl was currently guarding the Star Castle with the main force. She was immediately delighted when she saw her little brother jumping around with all his limbs intact in the communication projection.
She was relieved and was about to ask another question, but she noticed the crying baby in Mason's arms. It was obviously a newborn baby.
This scene immediately made Barbara's expression strange, and she exclaimed:
"This child! Wait, whose child is this? You should go save Ciri, right? Could it be that..."
"Bang"
Before she could finish , a loud sound of something heavy falling was heard in the background of the communication. Then, amid a familiar scream, Barbara's communicator was snatched away by the furious Harry.
The captain's cute little face stared at Mason and the child in his arms with wide eyes in front of the projection. After a few seconds of silence, Harley pursed her lips, and her big eyes were immediately filled with tears.
She said aggrievedly:
“I knew it! Woohoo, there must be something going on between you and Ciri… Woohoo, in the blink of an eye you even have a child! Damn it, that bad woman hid it so well!
I didn't realize she was pregnant before. This baby was just born, right?
It must be, right?
It’s so infuriating!
Quinn! Quinn, hurry up and grab the body bag you prepared, we're going to go find Ciri and give her... uh, wait, this is wrong!"
At this moment, the intelligence of great wisdom suddenly occupied the chaotic mind. Harley wiped her eyes and said with a strange look:
"You and Ciri have only known each other for five or six months, right? And I heard that witchers can't get pregnant, so whose child is this?"
"You are so stupid!"
Quinn next to her knocked on Harley's head and said sinisterly:
"Ten months of pregnancy is just a human saying. Maybe the Isu can give birth to a child in just one month? Don't forget, sweetheart is half Isu.
The child's eyes are so similar to his, he must be hiding something from us..."
"Ahem, that's enough for you two!"
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Mason hurriedly explained:
“This is Madeline. She took a resurrection potion before she died and was reborn as a baby. The alchemist’s potion was proven to be effective.
This is also the first thing I want to tell you. Send someone to New Osborne Tower immediately to find the alchemist. There he has the potion prepared for Liana and Old Shazam.
Take it back and let them both drink it.
In addition, the speedsters who stayed behind in New Osborne Tower should be Little Iris and Black Wally. Let them come to my coordinates as quickly as possible to bring this child, Gollum, and our new batch of members back."
"Got it! Arrange for someone to go immediately."
Barbara snatched her communicator back from Harley and answered without Mason asking:
"Everything is calm in Star Castle, and no unusual incidents have occurred so far, but you have now escaped from Old A's death trap, which means that the operation in which Mephisto participated has also failed.
I suspect that the old devil is about to launch a desperate counterattack by the Star Society. We will be prepared here. Mason, you don't have to come back here, go directly to the battlefield of Hell!
We contacted them fifteen minutes ago. They had broken through the obstacles of the Ghost Riders and approached the old devil's lair, but encountered great resistance.
You are clearly needed more there.”
"Well, I'll be there soon after I finish the last thing I'm doing."
Mason responded, and Barbara obviously knew what Mason meant by "the last thing", so she said no more, just reminded Mason to be careful, and then cut off the communication.
The captain looked down at the baby in his arms, who was crying non-stop as if he was happy about the birth of his own life.
He shook his head and held her in his arms as he had held little Bruce Kent before. He then took out the "flavored milk " that he had left for A-Zu from his bag, dropped a small amount of potion into it, shook it well, and gave her the first meal in her restarted life.
A few minutes later, the child, who had stopped crying, was handed back to Guru, who was "crouching" and watching nearby.
The iron-blooded queen focused all her attention on the child. She held little Madeleine in her arms and heard Mason remind her:
"I can understand your desire to adopt her, but your current identity is special. Your tribe will soon discover your existence and send a large number of people to hunt you and your 'baby'.
You'll be on the run for the rest of your life, I think..."
"Gulu! (That was the old rule.)"
The Queen gently touched Madeline's soft nose with her claws that could easily break steel. She seemed to have made up her mind and muttered:
"Gulu Gulu (The first sequence is already free, and the eighth sequence must also live in true freedom. I will personally deliver the future woven by you to my people.
No one can stop me from raising a little girl to adulthood. This is my mission and responsibility.
No one! )"
"It's up to you. The Speedster will be here soon. Watch them here and don't let them run around."
Mason glanced at the Vought professional heroes who were resting on the uninhabited planet. He also left Kevin and the wild phoenix Fox, who was flying around to digest his food, here.
Then he turned to look at Ciri. The hunter was leaning on her sword of the Lady of the Lake and gazing at the dark sea of stars above her head. Her silver hair was flying and she looked like someone who would disappear at any time.
Full of an uncertain unknown.
"Let's go for a walk."
Mason stepped forward and said.
Of course Ciri knew what this meant.
She turned around with a gentle smile, put the sword behind her back and held Mason's arm. The two were swallowed up by the silver arc of light in the next moment, and reappeared on the cliff of a barren mountain not far away.
This place is great.
The view is good and it is quiet enough. Facing north and south, it can also receive the light from the sea of stars. It is a very wonderful location for a tomb.
"Are you going to shoot me in the back? Or use a weapon in a more ritualistic way? Or are you going to strangle me to a bloodless death?"
Ciri was in a really good mood.
She did not feel the reluctance, pain or despair that came with death.
She was even in the mood to play a joke on Mason behind her, and from the looks of her, it seemed that she really intended to cooperate with any way of death Mason proposed.
She said:
"You're a great pharmacist, maybe you could give me a potion that would allow me to embark on the journey to death without any pain?"
“I’m still a chef.”
Mason stepped forward and held Ciri's waist from behind. The two of them pressed together and he whispered:
"Shall I prepare you a poisoned pastry that will allow you to close your eyes in the sweetness?"
"Forget it, it's sweet enough now. If it goes any further, I'll get diabetes."
The hunter smiled and raised his head, kissing Mason who lowered his head. There was no more shyness as before. This time he was truly fully committed, as if he wanted to enjoy the last tenderness before death.
Her hair swayed, falling on Mason's shoulders and neck, and her hands dropped to hold Mason's fingers around his waist.
After nearly a minute of passionate kissing, she said in a hoarse voice:
"We still have some time. Perhaps I should invite you to complete the task that lovers must do. You still have one last chance to think about it. You also said that the potion I drank will take effect at an uncertain time.
Maybe you will be old when we meet again next time. "
"It won't be more than six months at the latest."
Mason shook his head and said:
"I still stick to my original idea. After this mess is over, let's enjoy the rest of our destined long life.
There is no need to rush at this moment, and there will be a big battle soon.
I don't think the result of being drained by you here and then going to the battlefield will be very good."
"That's what I said."
Ciri snorted.
She no longer had to worry about her status as the Grand Master of the Star Society, and she relaxed completely, leaning into her lover's arms and resting her head on Mason's shoulder.
She looked at the dark stars dancing in the sky and said:
“My parents’ souls are still quite weak. They have been imprisoned in Mephisto’s hell for seventeen years. They need to sleep for a long time to recover their strength before considering resurrection or simply living as spirits.
I guess that's a good thing.
The next time they wake up, maybe they'll be able to attend my wedding, or even make it in time to witness the birth of their grandchildren. Your potion will allow me to be resurrected in the purest form.
That means the effects of the Demon Hunter's Herbal Potion will also be cleared, right?"
"Are you so eager to have a child?"
Mason complained:
"Shouldn't you first enjoy your world of two people...er, four people?"
"No, I don't plan on living with you and Harley and Quinn."
Ciri closed her eyes and thought about the future as she was about to die. She said:
"That kind of life is nothing short of hell for a demon hunter. We cannot be at peace unless we stop fighting. I am the Lord Hunter who travels across all realms, and my service to the Star Society is about to end.
The leash on me will be removed and the rest of my life will be mine.
I'm not going to waste it on a man who will make me so depressed that I don't want to start traveling again. Ah, now I finally understand why Selina ran away from the wedding that Bruce planned for her.
It turns out that this feeling of wanting to hug but being afraid of the gentle trap is so disturbing. "
She paused, reached out and stroked Mason's cheek, her cat-like eyes sparkling, and she said to Mason:
"You are the Robin who is most like Batman. I think you should have a partner in your life who is as close yet distant as Catwoman. In fact, you envy Selina and Bruce's love...
I will help you realize this wish, and I will make the same commitment to you as Selena did.
When I get my first wrinkle, I will marry you without hesitation, but until then, we have to continue this battle of love."
"Sure, that sounds interesting."
Mason nodded and said:
"But I have a request. When you want to settle down, you have to propose to me. Ciri...what are you doing?"
Before he could finish his words, he felt the Master Hunter in his arms struggle.
She turned around and stood one step away from Mason, put her hand to her mouth and coughed, then took off the Wolf School pendant from her neck.
Under Mason's astonished gaze, he knelt on one knee and said to the captain in front of him:
"So, Mason Cooper, will you be my, Cirilla Fiona Ellen Lillian's, eternal soul mate?"
"Hey, do you have to be so sudden?"
Mason was a little confused by Ciri's move, but the next moment, he smiled and reached out to hold the pendant in Ciri's hand. He blinked and said:
"Of course, I do. Remember to be ceremonial when you propose. Also, as a demon hunter, won't you give me your Gwent card?"
Isn’t this a tradition?”
"Tsk, it's not time yet."
The hunter rolled his eyes, stood up, and brushed his long hair.
The two looked at each other in silence at this moment, a sad emotion was outlined in the silence. Even if separation is for the next reunion, such a thing will never make people happy.
Ciri let out a long sigh, took out the still burning candle from her bag, and handed it to Mason.
She said:
"It's time. Come on, let the raindrops drown out the sound of gunfire. Let me die in romance..."
