Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 58 I declare that Team K is disbanded!
In fact, Mason had already anticipated that Mephisto would cheat.
But he did not expect that after Galactus joined the war, the old devil could still do such a cruel thing that would make people dizzy. However, when Mason heard Johnny Blaze say that Mephisto died at the hands of Old A, he suddenly understood.
He slapped his forehead hard, feeling sad that he had forgotten such an important point.
Clearly, when he stepped into Old A's death trap, he had already noticed that guy was tricked by Mephisto into joining the Star Society, but he failed to take corresponding precautions against this in the ever-changing and dangerous battle situation.
"Don't worry about it. It's just a small mistake. Compared to the terrible results you have achieved, such a small problem is not worthy of being elevated to the strategic level."
Johnny saw Mason's expression and guessed what this harsh guy was thinking. He blew a smoke ring, stood in the shadow of the ramp without street lights, with his back to the busy Gotham City, and said to Mason:
"The soul contract between you and Mephisto is one-way, so it's not surprising that you can't detect his little tricks, but we Ghost Riders have a more direct connection with him. After Galactus ate the Hell Dimension, everyone was forced to flee that area, but we can always feel a trace of the old devil's residual soul floating around.
We had planned to charge in all at once and put an end to it all, but when we gathered our men and were ready to set off, Mephisto died.
Silently and without any warning.
A bullet took the life of the person he chose as his final host, and the old devil fell into the eternal abyss with him.
We can even see that scene…”
"So the pit he dug for Old A finally came back to haunt him? Ha, this is really a bit of fatalistic and vulgar taste. But for the ending of a ghost story with an old devil as the protagonist, this ending is unexpectedly appropriate, and even makes me applaud it."
Mason exhaled a smoke ring. The surprise in his heart due to the news brought by Johnny could not be calmed for a while.
I had originally planned to talk to Old A after today's incident was over, and to completely end the feud between the two of us, but I didn't expect the latter to give me a bullet so decisively.
Ah, the pitiful self-esteem of old men is still terrible. They would rather face death than bow their heads in front of their subordinates who gave them a tragic defeat?
"I have a suspicion."
Johnny threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out. As the tip of his shoe turned, he lowered his head and said:
"Maybe that wasn't Old A, maybe it was just a clone or something, maybe the real him is still hiding in some corner of that world, waiting for you to come over and seek revenge and then give you a hard blow.
He is definitely capable of doing this.”
"Your guess is valuable, though it doesn't mean much to me."
Mason let out a long breath, shook his head and said:
"Let's not talk about the possibility that a bastard like Mephisto would choose the wrong target to possess, this is just my feeling, Old A is indeed dead.
Although this is not something he would do, after experiencing continuous failures, being teased and used by the devil, and being deserted by his friends and relatives, it is understandable that he chose to take this path.
You don’t have to comfort me like this…”
The captain shook his head and put his hands in his trouser pockets, letting the night wind blow up the corners of his windbreaker. The frame of the glasses on his nose rose with his head, looking at the Eye of Time and Space that was still flashing in the night sky.
He said:
“That’s just the death of an enemy, it doesn’t mean everything will end.
The symbol represented by Old A collapsed with his death, but the remnants who were unwilling to retreat were still planning their shameful deeds in the gutter.
This is not over yet.”
"I'm just saying this casually, lest you lose your way because you've lost your goal. I've seen this happen too many times, but you're still so determined, so I have nothing to worry about."
Johnny reached out and patted Mason on the shoulder. The wind blew his messy hair, making him look quite open-minded. He said:
"Then we'll leave now. See you in the future if there's a chance."
"Don't say goodbye, it's the same as goodbye forever."
Mason shrugged and said:
"The biggest problem that has troubled you has come to an end. Although everyone has a crazy spirit of revenge in their hearts, howling for you to punish the evildoers, at least you don't have to work for the devil anymore, which is the greatest victory.
Now that you're riding this Harley again, you don't need that Wolf motorcycle anymore, right? Why not..."
"Sorry, we are barely brothers now, but you can't lend me your car or wife!"
Johnny flatly rejected Mason's unspoken and rude request, put on his helmet, gave Mason the middle finger, and then returned to his motorcycle.
He straightened the front of the car and started the engine with his foot.
The moment the engine roared, a dazzling flame rose up, turning the steady and handsome Johnny Blaze back into the crazy Johnny Skull.
The thirteen knights behind him also transformed almost at the same time, and the hellfire of the Ghost Knights gathered together to illuminate this dark place as bright as day.
"Do more good, Mason Cooper! Savior."
Johnny Skull blew a very bad skull whistle, and in the roar of the burning locomotive, he roared:
"When the day comes that you become a villain, we will come after you. Huhuhuhu, don't let us, the burning death gods, seize that opportunity!
Brothers and sisters, retreat."
The Grand Commander of the Ghost Knights took the lead and galloped forward, leaving traces of burning on the ground. Then the rotating flaming gate opened, reflecting the scene of another world.
It was then crashed into by the Skeleton Knight, causing the embers of fire to fly. The other knights followed suit and rushed into it and disappeared, leaving only melted asphalt and burning flames on the ground.
This will definitely have Gotham city officials jumping up and down tomorrow morning.
And while this scene is indeed cool, Mason really wants to remind the curry-smelling Indian knight in Ghost Rider that, seriously, bro, change the song.
Fighting with such a weird BGM will really bring your status and deterrence down to negative numbers.
"Wow, wow, I've been stripped of my knighthood in the reserve, and it's all your fault, sweetheart!"
Harley, who was standing next to her, wiped her tears with a handkerchief and waved goodbye to the cool and beautiful female knight Jones. She grabbed Mason's arm and shook it, saying:
"Why can you still keep your vehicle's demonization? This is not fair!"
"Tomorrow, have the engineer install two flamethrowers on your Harley Speeder. At least it should look exactly like the Hellbike. Don't ask for more."
Mason touched Harley's head, then leaned over and nibbled her on the mouth as she continued to scream.
This intimate gesture immediately made Harley forget all her unhappiness and devote herself fully to it. A few minutes later, she returned to Mobius' cabin panting.
The black car started up again and disappeared like a fish into the Gotham night.
…
"cheers!"
The Afterlife Bar has become a sea of joy.
The scale of this banquet was larger and more luxurious than many previous ones. All those who could come were there, filling up the fifth floor of the Lai Sheng Bar.
This is not just a temporary victory but a symbol that the New Utopia Plan has really entered its final stage. For most people, this means that the era of suffering has ended and a new future is waiting ahead.
Following Sister Ka’s enthusiastic cheers, another round of clinking glasses rang out.
Those who can appear in the hall are all drinking heroes, each one is a big wine barrel. However, the most eye-catching one is not Sister Ka who is bandaged and covered with wounds but still drinking wildly, but the man who is drinking with Sister Ka.
Not the party Thor.
The scene today was too big and that young man couldn't control it.
At this time, his old father, Odin, the king of the gods, raised a golden horn cup and drank with the godslayer hero from the Isu world.
Asgard's bigwigs, including General Heimdall, were invited, and some members of the Knights Templar and the Assassin Brotherhood could be seen walking among the crowd in their iconic ancient robes.
They were so drunk that few people even noticed Mason's low-key walk into the hall.
This seems to confirm the previous ridicule of the Möbius chair.
No one cared about Mason's feelings.
The captain was thankful for this. Although he was a water man and theoretically could purify the water continuously to make everyone here drink down without any problem, he was not a guy who loved alcohol, so he was not interested in this kind of life-threatening drinking.
Besides, his Mason family had already been enjoying themselves here a long time ago.
He also saw the drunken alchemist sitting in a booth explaining the seven ways of deriving the elixir of immortality to a group of muscular Amazon sisters around him. The spellcasters with sparkling eyes crawled around him and were secretly taking notes.
"Let's go directly to Team K's box."
Mason said to Harley and Quinn .
The two men led the way, "protecting" Mason as he quickly crossed the first floor lobby. They walked up the stairs instead of taking the elevator, and almost interrupted a few pairs of lovebirds along the way.
It's really embarrassing, but today is a good day so everyone has no taboos.
However, on the relatively quiet fourth floor, Mason signaled his little cuties to pause. He approached a table of old ladies who were reminiscing about the past and discussing some makeup topics, reached out and nodded on Agent Hill's shoulder. The latter turned around and saw Mason, her eyes widened, and she quickly invited her to sit down.
But Mason had experienced the lethality of these old ladies last time. He declined and said to Agent Hill:
"You can let your little one out and move around freely. He doesn't have to hide anymore."
"Um?"
Agent Hill was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted. She covered her mouth and exclaimed:
"You mean, Old A has already..."
"Well, although I'm not 100% sure, I'm basically sure that he's dead. There won't be a crazy and scary Nick Fury chasing his own time-space alter ego around anymore."
Mason took the champagne handed to him by Ms. Sif and said to Agent Hill, who was full of surprise:
"You can return to your normal pace of life, which should be a good thing for you."
"Indeed."
She smiled, took out her cell phone and waved it in front of Mason's eyes, saying:
"I'll call him over right now, so he won't be suspicious when he's taking care of the kids all day. He also has a part in this grand celebration, but are you sure you can't go down and have a drink with everyone?
As a leader, you cannot be so shy."
"Happiness belongs to everyone. If I go over there, I'm sure I'll have to talk about a lot of things related to the plan, so I won't bother you guys."
Mason raised the champagne in his hand to the aunts at the table, and while they were whispering about something and then bursting into meaningless laughter, he took Harley and Quinn and continued to escape to the upper floors.
"Those shy aunts are discussing whether you are such a gentleman in bed?"
Harry came over and whispered in Mason's ear:
"I heard it all. I really want to tell them that Mr. K was not a gentleman at all at that time. The aunts were deceived by your well-behaved appearance. If they knew the truth, they would definitely be disappointed."
"Shouldn't I be more excited?"
Quinn said quietly:
"Sweetheart just pleases the aunts, and he likes these aunts very much. It's a pity that the two of us are not his type."
"You're not. Sweetheart loves me the most. Whenever the three of us are together, he always ends up hugging me."
Harley snorted, arrogantly took Mason's hand and pushed open the door of the big box where Team K was. The people sitting in front of her were also enjoying the joy after the victory in a warm atmosphere.
The scumbag Kang also brought his family along, and it turned out that this bad guy teamed up with Captain Jack to get the child Blue Beetle drunk, and then encouraged the kid to do pole dancing on the table wearing his own space armor but in a rather weird external posture, with a group of unscrupulous adults nearby cheering.
Ashley Parker stuffed a stack of bills into the underwear of the drunk Blue Beetle, and the good girl Valeria next to him blushed. Bizarro Biao, who did not take the blue kryptonite today, clapped and cheered beside him.
Wow, this is really fun.
"Why are you still in a wheelchair?"
Mason immediately saw Barbara placed between Zack and Poison Ivy.
Mason frowned at the latter's weak posture. As soon as he leaned over and touched Batgirl's wrist, he raised his head in surprise and looked into the other's eyes.
There were no longer any light strips in the depths of the pupils of those eyes that represented data transmission, and the bionic prostheses in this body had been completely removed, leaving Barbara back to the way she was when she met Mason.
"Is this surprising?"
Barbara held a cup of hot juice and looked at her brother sickly. She smiled like an ice beauty and said softly:
"You've been complaining that I might get cyberpsychosis if I abuse my prosthetics, and you've always said that it would affect my health, so as you wish, I've changed back.
This will be very uncomfortable.
Combat power analysis and danger countermeasures cannot be enabled. The world in my eyes is no longer so colorful and straight to the core, but it is much more real.
For example, I never realized before…”
She reached out her hand and touched Mason's cheek and his hair and said:
"Look, you have white hair now. You should take a good rest. I guess you must have the side effects of overusing your brain."
"Maybe I can go to the new Hogwarts School and be a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher or something."
Xiao Zu is in a particularly good mood today.
Although she still had the wounds from the battlefield in hell , she was in high spirits and joked to Mason:
"Of course you must wear your hat, otherwise you might be stumped by the tricky questions asked by those naughty kids."
"Tsk tsk, people who wear rings really speak with confidence."
Mason glanced at the sparkling magic diamond ring on Zack's right hand and said in a long voice:
"You have to keep an eye on him. He will be a free man soon. I won't be able to restrain you then. If you have any relationship problems again, I'm sorry I can't intervene."
"I'm not alone, you don't have to worry about it."
Xiao Zu gave a mysterious smile.
Mason shrugged and stood up. He picked up the fruit knife on the table and tapped the wine glass in his hand. The crisp sound quieted the noisy box.
Everyone, including the dazed Blue Beetle who was still fighting drunkenly, was pulled down from the table. They all looked at Mason, their captain.
Mason glanced at the time on his watch and didn't exchange any pleasantries.
He raised the glass in his hand directly and said to his companions:
“It has been a pleasure working with you all over the past period of time. You are all very professional and outstanding, but all good things must come to an end, so today, on this moment of victory...
I declare!
Team K...is officially disbanded.
You are free too.”
