Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 64 I can easily destroy the world! But being a good mother... you need someone else to help you
Two days later, in the early morning, Wayne Manor had taken on a new look in the morning light. The servants were laying the reception area at the entrance of the manor. The two-hundred-year-old mansion was cleaned spotlessly like a freshly-minted coin. The appropriate flowers did not overshadow the manor, but rather it was like a layer of floral coat that made it show a different style.
Mason rested here last night, of course not to hold an outrageous bachelor party for his master, but simply because he was too lazy to move places and get up early and take a car to rush here.
At this moment, he was standing by the window of the guest room, looking out, watching the guests coming from afar entering the venue of today's ceremony under the personal welcome of the old butler.
A dance party has been prepared in the hall for the young people, and morning tea has been prepared in the garden, providing an elegant place for conversation for those guests who are no longer young and are beginning to pursue the depth of life.
There are also people who guide guests who come here for the first time to tour the entire estate to show the heritage and wealth of the Wayne family.
Well, I guess no one cares about wealth.
After all, whether it is Black Lord Black Panther who just got off his land vehicle, or Tony 7 who was being helped out of the mobile treatment cabin by his daughter, money has long ceased to be one of the pursuits in life.
As one of Star-Lord and Black Panther's team members, Howard the Duck, dressed in a black suit, was boasting to the curious Joe next to him that a distant uncle in his hometown owned a huge swimming pool made entirely of gold coins.
Compared to that mysterious gentleman, even if the wealth of Black Panther, Stark and Wayne Group were tripled combined, they would still not be a match for him.
"Wasn't it agreed to be a small banquet?"
After getting up reluctantly, Halle, who had just changed into a red bridesmaid dress, put on makeup while pouting and complaining to Mason:
"Why are there so many people here? It's only daybreak and they're here. Do they all like feasting so much?"
"Considering the current size of the alliances in various planes, the presence of so many people today can indeed be considered a small ceremony. Each force was very restrained and only sent important figures who could represent each other, rather than a large group of visiting delegations."
Mason didn't mind.
He opened his arms and let Quinn, who was more obedient and wearing a black dress today, help him put on his coat. He said in a good mood:
"Whether Bruce and Selina are willing or not, it is impossible for them to completely avoid such 'wedding diplomacy' in their current positions.
As far as I know, the old Green Goblin started making plans for today, including the banquet after the wedding, when he got the news three days ago.
That guy had to talk to at least thirteen different people about various things.
The arrangements of other forces that are interested in intervening in the new world order are probably similar. You see, this is the survival logic of these guys. For them, any opportunity that can be exploited must be fully utilized.
I can only be thankful that I am not a power-hungry guy, otherwise my life would be much more tiring than theirs."
"But the invincible little sweetheart only needs to use one tenth of her wisdom to get rid of them."
Harley snorted and as usual placed a red star sticker above her cheek as part of her unique makeup, then picked up the jewelry box and selected accessories for herself.
After Mason changed his clothes and tied a bow tie, he turned around and saw Harley holding a ring in front of him.
The ring was the same style as the one on her finger, but Harry's ring had a cute hound's head on it, while the ring on her palm was engraved with a white wolf's head.
"Can you not wear it today?"
Harley stared at Mason with her bright eyes wide open, blinking, as if asking a terrible question, but was hit on the forehead by Quinn's angry finger, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Ignore her."
Quinn dodged Harley's fingers, took Mason's right hand and helped him put the ring on, saying:
"She just likes to play tricks like this. In fact, if you really don't bring her, she will worry. Harley is an insecure little lunatic.
She was in a state of ever-changing emotions, and naturally longed to see a stable state of affairs that would no longer change.
This was the situation she wanted to see and enjoy right now.
But speaking of it, it’s been several days, and there’s still no sign of Ciri’s resurrection?”
"Within six months, this is the only information that can be confirmed at this time."
Mason touched the ring on his finger and said:
"Beyond that, we have no idea where, when, or how she will return. I can feel that her consciousness has been bound to my being, like an egg waiting to be hatched.
Just be patient and wait.
She will come back, and so will Liana."
"That means we have six months..."
Harley opened the door and let the three dogs, who had been waiting outside and were dressed up today, rush into the house and circled around Mason and Quinn, barking.
Mason's little cutie put his hands on his hips and counted on his fingers, muttering to himself:
"Only one week a month is the most suitable. Multiply that by two and then by six, and you get 82... Emmmm, the frequency can be a little more frequent."
"Who are you?"
Quinn pulled Luke's reins and yelled with a frown, but Harley refuted with a plausible argument:
"Of course, we are calculating the success rate of our little plan. If there is nothing wrong with little sweetheart's body, before Ciri comes back, at least one of us should have an absolute advantage, right?
The same way Selina defeated Talia.
You see, we are one, and if one of us makes a move, it means the other one will be able to escape, and that child will be born to the three of us."
"Your brain is broken, Harley!"
Quinn yelled and threw Luther's reins to Harley, and the two crazy beauties noisily led the dogs out of the room. Mason fell behind and squatted down to put the leash on the golden retriever lying at his feet.
He patted the docile dog on the head and whispered:
"I should probably tell them both that the chances of my triple helix combining with their normal human genes are negligible, but I guess that would just be asking for trouble.
As long as either Harley or Quinn asked the rest of the Mason family for help, those bastards would be happy to contribute some weird and wonderful ideas.
For example, using the refining array to directly create a child and other messy things.
So, let’s leave it at that for now.”
From John Wick's "Legacy", the golden retriever looked at Mason in front of him with surprise, as if to say, are you such a dog?
You even hid this from your lover? Have you done a premarital checkup? Asshole!
Mason pretended not to notice the gentle but intelligent dog's gaze, and led it out of the room and towards the garden. As soon as he walked out of the castle, he met the Elric brothers.
Alphonse was admiring the scenery of Wayne Manor, and next to little Edward was a lively blonde girl, who must be his childhood sweetheart.
"Yo, Mason, you look relieved."
Edward took the initiative to extend his hand to greet him. Mason responded, walked over with the dog and asked:
"What about you guys? I haven't seen you guys go out these past few days. Are you planning to move out of Osborne Tower?"
"Well, we plan to settle in the Garden World where Winry is."
Edward was enjoying the breeze, with his hands in his pockets and a cocky expression on his face. He said:
"While continuing to study alchemy, I performed truth conversion on Alphonse and got his body and my arm back. That was the oath we made for the survival of the world, but now that we have embraced the future, the oath has become insignificant.
However, the major and his friends want to join the group of "Sons of the Future" that old Norman is going to form.
The general meaning is that after finally winning back the future, we can no longer hand it over to a group of ambitious people, blah blah blah, it’s all nonsense. "
Edward suddenly stopped talking here.
He looked up at Mason, who was dressed very handsomely today, and asked a question that he had obviously thought about for a long time. He said:
"You led us to take back the future. If we mess it up again, will you lead us to take it back again?"
"Hey, I'm about to retire."
Mason shrugged and said:
"I can only say that you should find someone else to help you with this matter. Besides, didn't I personally demonstrate how to regain hope? It's not possible to copy homework incorrectly, right?"
Edward was a little disappointed by Mason's answer, but soon he smiled again, nodded and said:
“Yes, you have demonstrated it, and we can indeed imitate it.
But I believe those guys will be afraid of you, and until they are sure you are gone, no one will want to use the Star Conference and the Council as a reference template for their career.
By the way, Al and I just made the elixir of immortality.
Do you want to try it? "
"You just figured out the formula? It seems like your research progress has really slowed down without me."
Mason complained:
"The alchemist has already researched seven routes for the elixir of immortality, not to mention that he has made a perfect elixir of immortality and has already gone through experiments...
Look, here comes the test subject."
The captain pointed behind the two of them. Edward turned around and saw the White Queen Emma, accompanied by an iron-blooded lady in black armor, floating towards them in a luxurious wheelchair holding a sleeping baby.
There was nothing wrong with the White Queen and the baby in her arms; the problem was Gollum.
The former Iron-Blooded Queen has now switched jobs to become a full-time wet nurse. Her combat backpack, which should have been filled with proton bombs and various hunting weapons, is now filled with milk powder, bottles, diapers, teething sticks and other baby supplies.
But she herself thinks there is nothing wrong with it.
After all, she is such a powerful iron-blooded hunter that she can defeat an army even with her bare hands. The most important thing is to ensure that little Madeline has milk to drink when she cries.
"Is that your legendary sister?"
Edward was so astonished at this moment that he couldn't help but give Mason a thumbs up and praised him:
"You used your own family members as test subjects for the immortality drug. Awesome! You remind me of the guy who used his own daughter... Uh, never mind. It's too unlucky to talk about this on such a happy day.
In short, you do have the cold-blooded qualities to be an alchemist, Mason."
"Things are not what you think, but I feel that no matter how I explain, I can't change the crazy thoughts in your little head, so I can only tell you that if you dare to spread this everywhere, I will beat you.
You can try to see if I can find your secluded world."
The captain waved his fist in a threatening manner, then ignored the little kid and walked forward, squatted down, and checked on Emma's health.
The good news is that the White Queen has recovered well, as most of the mental damage caused by forcibly intervening in the Black Phoenix's will has been recovered.
The bad news was that his action startled Madeline in Emma's arms, causing the baby, who was appropriately dressed in a pink bat baby costume today, to burst into tears.
"You and she really clash..."
Emma rolled her eyes and complained while comforting the baby in her arms:
"Everything is fine in my arms."
"Please stop pretending."
Mason also rolled his eyes and said:
"You are so ignorant, yet you are still looking after the child. She is crying more and more fiercely. Hurry and give her back to her special nanny. I won't laugh at you.
Hello!
Don’t use spiritual power to comfort your children!
Her brain isn't fully developed yet, how can she withstand what you're doing?"
Seeing that something bad was about to happen, the captain quickly took the crying child from Emma's arms, who looked helpless, and threw him to Guru, who was anxiously reaching out his hand.
Miraculously, little Madeline calmed down as soon as she was in Guru's arms, sucking her thumb and quickly fell asleep.
"Obviously I am her mother!"
Emma was complaining loudly nearby, probably complaining about how her two children didn't like her very much when they first met. However, when Mason tied the dog's reins to the hover wheelchair and prepared to push her away, Gollum suddenly took something out of his waist bag and handed it to him.
Mason took it in his hand and narrowed his eyes.
It was a triangular badge.
It is obviously an item of the Iron-Blooded Warrior. There are bloody marks on it, which are the words of Iron-Blooded Warrior. Although he can't understand it, the captain can guess what it means.
He looked at Gollum's visor and said:
"They found you? Is this a wanted notice?"
Gollum nodded silently, and Mason asked again:
"So what are you going to do?"
"Shua"
Gollum stretched out her finger and traced her neck. This simple action represented her decision and made Mason nod and say:
"Go find the engineer. Your equipment upgrade plan should have been completed. My suggestion is that since you have to fight anyway, you might as well solve the problem in one go.
Do you know where the eighth sequence's flagship is?
I can send K-Force to accompany you. As long as you are willing to do it, this problem is actually easy to solve."
Gollum hesitated.
She looked at little Madeline in her arms, and after a few seconds, she nodded to Mason.
Thus, the pact for another war was signed.
"You can go recruit a few players."
Mason reminded:
"Team K has just been disbanded, and everyone has nothing to do. From what I know, some people miss the good life of being on the brink of death. As long as you can convince them, I have no objection."
Gollum walked into the garden while rocking the child in his arms, while Mason pushed Emma and the dog towards the wedding venue. When they were alone, Emma suddenly asked:
"Are you leaving?"
"Can't you just stop reading my mind?"
Mason said helplessly:
"This will damage our relationship, and I mean it."
"I can tell what you're thinking without having to read your mind."
Emma complained:
"Don't I know my son? You came to this wedding just to leave a happy ending for your teammates and friends, and then go to the next war alone.
Maybe I should go with you?"
"It's taking care of little Madeleine that's wearing you out, isn't it?"
The captain said bluntly:
"Are you planning to sneak away? But you said you would be a good mother."
“I tried, but it turns out that for an old lady like me who has been unreliable all my life, becoming a qualified mother is probably a terrible goal that I will never be able to achieve until the end of my life.
It’s really tiring, and I’m a disabled person…”
The White Queen said with a frown:
"Compared to getting up twice every night to feed her, I think it might be easier to go to the battlefield with my own son. You see, taking care of her these days has made me ugly and wrinkled...
Okay, I know what you mean.
No one can change your decision so just go with it.
But you must come back. I have been too indifferent to family and emotions in the first half of my life, and I don’t plan to spend the second half of my life alone.”
"I will, I swear."
Mason said softly, and in front of the two of them, melodious music was already echoing. It was the band's final tuning and rehearsal before the ceremony began.
The bridesmaids and groomsmen are in place.
The master was talking to the Chao couple. Farther away, Blue Beetle and Cyborg were hovering in the air, one on the left and one on the right, operating camera drones to record today's event from every angle.
The sun is shining, and good things are just around the corner.
"All of this is enough to soothe the fatigue of the rebels. Look at these beautiful things. The more you see, the more determined you will be."
Mason whispered:
"In the name of the future we have just taken back, let's leave all our worries for tomorrow."
