Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 43 When Your Boss Is So Unkind
"Bang"
The protective flames of Phoenix Apostle Mason were shattered, and the whole person fell from a high altitude in the energy collision and was thrown into the magma pool connected to the heart of hell.
The unharmed old devil grinned and threw a dark ball downwards to make a finishing blow, but was burned to ashes by the flying phoenix.
When Mason was repelled, it was the turn of this weak, pitiful but gluttonous wild phoenix to hold the situation temporarily. Its owner was really weak. Even with the power of the phoenix, it was still difficult to defeat this lonely old devil.
Mason seemed to have caught Fox's inner complaints, and he struggled to get up in the lava pool.
The screams of all the victims in the entire hell dimension were still echoing in his ears. This "mental attack" made the captain shake his head vigorously, and large amounts of cold air were growing in an effort to force himself to remain calm.
With the dual protection of Phoenix Fire and organic ice body, it will not be burned by the hellish magma, but facts have proved that the Phoenix Apostle is still at a considerable disadvantage against the old devil.
Mason is not a spellcaster.
Although he has profound control over mutant powers, he is still no match for a true magic master. Up to now, he has been just stalling for time.
The only lucky thing is that this is his ultimate mission here.
From the moment he stepped into this place, the captain never thought that he could kill the bastard in front of him by himself. That was not what a craftsman should do.
While it is true that an Engineer can use an Engineering Wrench to crack open someone's skull when he's angry, that's not what a wrench is supposed to do, and the same goes for scalpels, carving knives, forging hammers, and skinning knives.
"boom"
Mason flew out of the magma and once again gathered the power of the Phoenix in his body and smashed it at the old devil in front of him in a brutal but shocking manner. The powerful reality distortion caused the space to be crushed wherever the energy went.
But there was no way such an unskilled attack could hit Mephisto.
The latter covered himself with the Cloak of Sin, and silently cast a curse spell to weaken Mason while changing shape. Although the Phoenix Fire expelled the curse in the next moment, a moment of stiffness still caused Mason to be smashed to the ground for the third time.
After fighting to this point, the old devil finally came to his senses.
Excluding the small possibility that Mason intended to kill himself in this clumsy and brutal way, the truth was obvious: this guy was stalling for time!
But a new question arises: why should he delay?
Could it be that he has some incredible trick in mind?
The battle at Star Castle is so intense, and the resistance coalition forces on the Scorch Plain outside the castle have also entered a desperate situation of retreating and resisting stubbornly. Shouldn't we fight a quick battle and end it quickly?
unless……
This guy was certain that once his plan was implemented, no matter how big an advantage he had, he would be overturned in an instant, but how could this be possible? He was already the most powerful creature that could be born in this dark age.
Um?
wrong!
The old devil's mind raced, and he waved his claws to disperse the magic in his palm that was about to beat Mason again. He then waved his fingertips to let his huge consciousness scan the entire hell dimension like a radar, and locked onto the big maze below a second later.
The old devil was horrified when he sensed that the Gray Bat, the heroes of the Justice League and the Mason family were about to pass through two-thirds of the maze and reach the main body of the World Gate.
He guessed the truth in an instant, and this truth made him panic.
"That's your plan?! You're going to release another monster to kill a devil like me?"
He roared in the air:
"When did you know about the death plane?"
His answer was a Phoenix punch.
At the moment when the cold air splashed, the fist that froze everything, covered with the Phoenix flame that distorted reality and annihilated matter, hit Lao Mo's bloody cheek, Mason replied coldly:
"A lot sooner than you think!"
"You are just drinking poison to quench your thirst."
Mephisto was extremely angry.
This anger replaced the previous calmness and control, which meant that he felt threatened. Once the Death Star was really released by this group of lunatics, given His hatred for him, he would definitely not be able to escape today.
"Bang"
Mason, who had thrown a beautiful straight punch and broken one of Old Mo's teeth, was thrown to the ground of the throne room again. However, the old devil did not finish him off but instead activated some secret technique to move himself towards the maze.
"Hello!"
Mason shouted from behind, but Lao Mo ignored him. Then something hit him on the head, and a purple flame jumped, which then triggered an explosion of cosmic power.
Although the Star Devourer's lighter could not exert its due destructive power because the throne room was isolated from all technological power, the collision with the power of the universe alone still caused the old devil to suffer a bloody head.
Under the sudden pain, Mephisto felt more and more worried. He realized that Mason's connection with the Death Star was deeper than he thought.
The latter was even able to grant his power to Mason without alerting him, which meant a rather terrifying fact.
There is a problem with the seal of the World Gate!
It’s not sealed and it’s leaking.
This fatal mistake has been caught by Mason, and this guy is really patient and didn't make it public until this time. The death trap set for himself had been laid out long ago and was not set up on a whim.
"Among my many nicknames, there is one that I don't like very much, but if you want to know the whole truth, I will tell you that you can also call me 'Star Devourer' Mason."
The captain got up from the ground, feeling his body being restored to its peak by the healing power of the Phoenix Fire. He reached into his bag and grabbed something, then said to the old Mo who was interrupted in front of him:
“I should have no intersection with that cosmic god who is drowning in death and gluttony, just like an ant crawling on the ground and the bright moon.
But that's how wonderful things are, because your evil deeds have given us a common enemy, because you have united us both.
It's come to this point, so it's no big deal to tell you everything.
I have a covenant with Him.
I open that door for Him, and He crushes you for me...not a bad deal, right?"
"Idiot! So stupid!"
Old Mo's eyes were blazing with fire, and he shouted to Mason below:
"Do you think He will obey the agreement?
No, He will only stay in the dimension beyond death through the door you opened, and devour everything you cherish and everything you just won!
You made a terrible choice, Mason Cooper, it's the worst of all your 'anti-Mephisto tactics'!
The water here is too deep and you have no control over it.
Stop it, there's still time!"
"I don't know whether He will fulfill the agreement, but I don't intend to do it obediently."
The captain smiled, uncorked the cork with a bang, tilted his head back and poured the second bottle of Million Star Potion in his hand down his throat . He threw away the bottle, stretched his body, and said to Mephisto:
“Also, the cruel truth is that I just lied to you, Lord Fate.
The Phoenix Force is not used against you but to repair the damage to my body so that I can withstand this level of power a second time in a short period of time.
But you seem to be too caught up in the cat and mouse game to notice this.
Hey, popping champagne at halftime is never a good habit.
So now the offense and defense are reversed, you felt really good beating me up just now, right?
Now it's your turn to try to break through my defenses."
The first half of the sentence was still in Mason's voice, but the second half was strangely changed to another tone. The golden light burst out like a blazing flame, but the black energy cloak was silently hanging on the shoulders.
The power of the Phoenix has not yet disappeared, but the energy of millions of stars has already been added. The combination of the two makes the Void Mason that appears this time even more brutal and unprovoked.
"This bastard treated me as a cheap thug summoned by Didi to beat someone up! This is really unpleasant."
Void Mason roared:
"But what's even more annoying is that I actually think this method of exchange is not bad... It's really weird! Hey, devil, do you have a way to completely kill Mason Cooper's consciousness so that I can occupy this God-given body?"
"Of course I can! I'm experienced in this area."
The old Mo blinked and started to fool people.
However, the next moment, a sun fist came crashing down. In the bombardment of brilliant light, Void Mason shouted:
"You're nothing! The fact that you were reduced to such a miserable state by Mason's little tricks proves that your so-called fate is nothing more than this. You're clearly lying to me!
You bastard!
I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid!
Beat you to death, you deceiving old bastard!"
…
"boom"
The laser beam shattered the magic barrier, and the remaining power hit the pillars above the castle, causing the sculptures representing the three great mentors to shake.
Heavy bricks came crashing down, and everyone else moved out of the way.
But Deadpool, who was pulling several people to fight with swordsmen on the spot, had no time to dodge, and his head was smashed into his chest, killing him on the spot.
But no one cared about this little accident, not even Deadpool himself.
After all, a few seconds later he was back to being a lively and brave man.
However, even if even Deadpool stopped slacking off and chose to fully devote himself to this "big melee" of the Star Party, his personal bravery could not save the front line of Star Castle from being constantly pushed back.
Although every tactic of the defenders was executed perfectly, the numerical disadvantage became an imperfect problem that could not be ignored at this moment.
This is a civil war within the Star Society, and the only defenders that can be gathered together are the pioneers under the command of the three great mentors. They have to face everyone in the entire Star Society except themselves.
Although there were some sensible guys who expressed their willingness to help defend the city, the candles were in the shadow of the castle, and the people of Legion K did not dare to put them in the front line.
God knows what they are thinking?
As long as there is a little Fengxian among them who wants to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, the situation will slide into an even more uncontrollable abyss.
"We can't hold on any longer. Retreat!"
Mr. Li Sanguang, who was operating an energy turret in front, saw that a large number of self-destruct machines had been sent to the front line and knew that they could no longer stay here.
The K Corps' vassal troops further away had been completely cut off in the sea of people, and they planned to retreat.
Lord Sanguang jumped out of the turret cockpit with nimble movements, jumped backwards at the moment several heavy bombs hit the war vehicle, and completed a perfect relay in the air with old Aunt Ada who was gliding over, and landed on the retreat trail at the rear.
When the brave warrior landed, he swung the butt of his rifle and hit the head of the ratman pioneer who was trying to assassinate Miss Jerusalem. After the daily heroic act of saving the beauty, he swung out his explosive backpack and stuck it under the large walkway leading to the castle. While he skillfully arranged the detonator, he shouted to the people in front of him:
"Claude! Don't hold on there, retreat into the castle! We can't hold here anymore. You guys go first, I'm going to blow up this trail, at least we can buy some time."
"When will the wanderers arrive?"
Miss Tifa, who was rescued, stood guard beside Li Sanguang holding a fighting stick. She looked at the increasing number of pioneers ahead and couldn't help asking:
"The call-up order was given before, why haven't they come yet?"
"The World Gate projection core has been shut down."
Leon replied without even looking up:
“Our people can only go through the Eye of Time and Space. It’s natural that they are slow to arrive, but this is a good thing. The shutdown of the projection core means that the World Gate itself has been threatened.
The operations of Lord Mason and his warriors went very smoothly.
All we have to do now is hold on until this shit is over."
"Buzz"
A black heavy motorcycle came rushing over. This Fenrir chariot was covered with glaring battle scars, and the arms of the yellow-haired swordsman driving the motorcycle were pierced by sharp arrows.
While crossing the sermon, he asked Tifa to get on the car and reached out to Leon, but the latter refused.
He glanced at the pioneers who were rushing to preach.
Their eyes were all red.
It's like a group of people fighting for life and existence, a group of people who are forced into a desperate situation.
This is indeed the case.
Put yourself in his shoes. If your life candle fell into the hands of other pioneers, Lord Sanguang would never let it go.
Precisely because they were all pioneers of the Star Society, they could better understand what kind of assholes each other was. When they thought that their lives would be wiped out by a gust of wind, the fear of death came upon them.
That is a kind of pressure that is difficult to eliminate with just a few words, not to mention that there is a devil behind it doing whatever he wants.
"You go!"
Li Sanguang stood up, wiped the dust off his face, grabbed the detonator and said:
"There's no time to set up the remote detonation. I can only stay here and take good care of Ada, Ashley, Claire and..."
"Don't show off your damn popularity with women at this time, asshole."
Claude interrupted him, snatched the detonator and prepared to accept this cruel fate himself, but before the two guys could discuss a result, a figure fell from the sky.
The swordsman wearing the demon helmet casually threw the blood-stained helmet away, stabbed his soul sword into the ground with a bang, stretched out his hand towards Claude, and said in a commanding tone:
"Give me that thing! Are the bombs enough?"
"That's enough."
Li Sanguang replied:
"The ground can definitely be blown down. This several dozen meters long sermon is the only ground connecting to the castle. If it collapses, they won't be able to attack us directly. They can only attack from the air, but the castle's anti-aircraft firepower is very dense."
"Who asked you that?"
The swordsman grabbed the detonator and corrected him carelessly:
"I mean, are these bombs enough to kill me?"
"ah?"
This question stunned the three people present.
They thought they had heard it wrong, but in fact Liana did not ask the wrong question. She shook her head, waved her hand and told the three people to hurry in. She did not wear a helmet herself, shook her long golden hair, and stood on the pulpit.
"Come on! You ignorant idiots!"
The Grand Master grabbed his soul sword and shouted at the pioneers who were rushing towards him:
"It's already this late, and you still haven't figured out who is helping you and who is trying to hurt you. But I'm too lazy to explain it to you. What good people can join the Star Club?"
Liana adjusted her greatsword to "stun mode".
This is her secret technique. When the blade pierces the body, it will hurt the soul but will not cause fatal damage.
"When I was young and ignorant, I mistakenly joined a villain organization full of bastards, and somehow I was promoted to the position of leader, but in fact I have no interest in leading you bastards!
Especially knowing that my boss was a jerk, I just wanted to burn it all down.”
The swordsman dragged his sword into the crowd in front of him, striking with his blade without mercy. The majesty of the battle master was fully demonstrated at that moment.
In this unbridled fight as usual, the demon form of the Queen of Hell Limbo also appeared in the flames, and she roared:
"I am going to die today. I would have died even without you. This is my funeral, and I hope it will be as lively as possible, so that when I am reborn I will have a lot to brag about.
so!
Come on, bastards, send the Queen of Hell off with your screams and fear!
Right here!
Anyone who stands in my way will die! "
