Chapter 161 44. Unanimous vote! Guys, let's charge to death
Norman Osborn.
A brilliant businessman, a twisted genius, an unqualified but not bad father, a super villain with a very successful career.
Long before the apocalypse, he was one of Spider-Man and New York City's most troublesome enemies.
According to the story that the old spider just shared with Ertong and Barbara in a low voice, the Green Goblin in this world is very, very beautiful.
In the Avengers split a few years ago, it was the Green Goblin who destroyed the reconstruction of the SHIELD after the war and formed an organization called the Skyhammer Bureau with official support.
It is said that for a while, this guy is even preparing to run for president.
So, even if the doomsday invasion didn’t come suddenly, the superheroes in this world are destined to survive a very difficult time after the villain takes power.
This is one of the reasons why this world of powerful superheroes is vulnerable to the invasion of the Star Society and the Cleaner.
Long before the arrival of the invaders, the heroes of this world have been caught in a long-term division and internal strife. Now it is basically certain that this kind of division that has been foreshadowed is that the stars will play tricks in the dark, and Mason will replay the entire invasion. In terms of the course of the incident, it has to be said that those **** really picked a perfect timing.
Almost in one wave, the superheroes who could not unite quickly were defeated.
Among them, the guy Green Goblin really contributed the most.
But he did not throw himself into the arms of the Society of Stars like the sand man who was picked up by the master swordsman due to **** luck. At least so far, Norman Osborn is still just a "partner" of the Society of Stars .
He is not a member of this organization and always reserves the right to choose.
This fully shows that he has not lost his mind.
And this is the person
But just now told Mason that he and the superheroes in this world who have been ordered to join the Stars Club formed a secret group that conspired to subvert the existing order of the Stars Club.
Judging by his appearance, he seems to be one of the leaders of that small group.
This matter sounds outrageous, but it is indeed outrageous when you think about it carefully.
But it is not difficult for Mason to understand the theory of "backdoor rebirth" that the Green Goblin just touched on.
"So, you are like parasites, when the stars will invade you, you also stretch out your minions to lurk among them, thus completing a strange-sounding 'symbiosis'?"
By the beach under the darkness of night, Mason frowned and said:
"Assuming that what you said is true, then I guess the purpose of your doing this is to obtain important information and intelligence, at least to find out the truth behind the so-called 'doomsday'.
So here comes the problem. "
Mason stared at the Goblin and said:
"If you want to persuade me to help my superior make a decision here, just say something dry. What is the truth behind this doomsday?
I won't hide it from you, I've been investigating.
But everyone I met was mysterious and unwilling to say more, just let me see with my eyes, wouldn't you do the same? "
"Are you sure you want to talk about this at this time?"
The Green Goblin glanced at the distant sea, and under the dark night, a certain island in the outer sea was already full of lights, and a large number of strange aircraft were flying towards it.
That was the dispatch of the "Cleaner Legion" stationed in this world.
Perhaps in less than ten minutes, they will reach the burning Osborne Tower and bring the chaotic situation under control.
“We all have choices.”
Mason didn't care about the dispatch of the Cleaner Legion.
He took out a copy of the official execution order of the Constellation Society from his arms and tossed it up and down, saying:
"With this thing, what we are doing tonight is an 'official operation'. No matter how cruel the liquidators are, they will not do anything to us. As for you, you can continue to cooperate with them as if nothing happened.
So you see, we still have plenty of time.
If you speak fast enough, we can even arrange a little 'ambush' for them. I won't hide it from you, one of my team members is helping us form an 'army'.
Although it is unusable, but if you do calculations with your heart and no intentions, you can really delay the time in a fight. "
"The group of 'underground people' created by Connors?"
The Green Goblin immediately understood Mason's plan, he snorted and said:
"Just a bunch of rabble."
"But we still have a 'large nuclear bomb' in our hands."
Zha Kang exhaled the smoke ring, stood on Mason's left, and said coldly:
"A supervillain who can tear you apart with one hand so I advise you to be honest, old man! Now you are begging us."
"Are you going to tell me or not?"
Catwoman on Mason's right yawned, folded her arms and sneered:
"Or are you, a cunning old man, just fooling us? If you really have a rebel army, why did Dr. Otto leave your city and choose to live in seclusion underground?"
“Would you put all your eggs in one basket?”
Old Norman retorted:
"That old hippie came forward to help you fight me tonight. Doesn't it just prove that my arrangement is correct? If I die unfortunately, those 'citizens' who are wandering outside will not lose their 'homecoming' all at once. road'.
Otto!
You're listening, right?
Do you really think I missed those secret doors you left in the mechanism at Osborne Tower? Or, do you think you're smarter than me? "
"Mason, Norman's words do have some truth."
Dr. Otto's voice then sounded in the communication, and he said in a serious tone:
"Tonight's operation was a little too smooth. Now that I think about it, the data confrontation between Barbara and Norman and I just now may really be more like a coordinated play.
He took the initiative to admit defeat. "
"Let's talk about dry goods."
Mason nodded and stared at the old Green Goblin resolutely, asking:
"Give me a 'sweetener' to help me make a decision, OK?"
"Okay, crafty brat."
The old Green Goblin hesitated for a moment, then said:
"The so-called 'shock' is an imminent disaster, and it has come to most of the parallel worlds in the entire multiverse at the same time. The doomsday invasion that occurred in our world more than three years ago is the precursor of the 'second shock'.
The result of that impact is that the earth in 3523 parallel worlds will perish forever.
Including our world, the Constellation Society and its superior organization transferred more than a thousand 'refugees' from worlds during the second impact, and two-thirds of their current 3,000 pioneering team members are also the second time It came after the aftermath of the shock.
Actually, I doubt that's what Stellaris was created for.
And what is coming now is the 'third shock', which will appear within half a month to a month. This is the news that my people found directly from the database of the Constellation Club. "
Old Norman paused, giving the members of Team K a moment to digest the information.
Then he said:
"Of all the pioneers we sent, the Black Widow's team climbed the fastest, and she has already started preparing to apply for the promotion process of the A-level twelve-member council.
She has been to the depths of the Great Library of Starsburg and saw a lot of information.
No matter what kind of ghost your organization has developed now, and what methods it uses to search and squeeze parallel worlds, in the beginning, they really established it for the cause of salvation.
Unfortunately, the records of that incident were wiped, and no one knows what caused it to actually be established.
According to the news that our people found out in the Stars Club, the first impact was seventeen years ago, and the second impact was three years ago.
The third shock will be even bigger.
But that's not the only bad news.
Because even after the third shock, there will be a fourth, fifth, until the complete death of the parallel world system of the entire multiverse.
It's accelerating.
The doomsday is speeding up, and there is really not much time left for us.
Otherwise, I wouldn't take such a risk to establish contact with you and the people behind you. Now facing this bad news, do you have anything to say? "
"Forgive me, my brain is still accepting this truth, and I don't have any unique ideas to tell you for a while."
Mason rubbed his forehead and said:
"So, what are the specific manifestations of these impact events?"
"I have no idea."
The Green Goblin waved his hand neatly and said:
"It's not that I didn't tell you, it's that I really didn't know that during the second impact, the stars would use some kind of equipment to obscure the observation of the entire planet.
I just know we made it through.
But according to my observations of the world with satellites, a large-scale meteorite crash occurred during that time, and traces of minerals from other worlds were found in those meteorites.
So I guess, this should be a cruel 'either-or'.
Because of our survival, another world was destroyed. "
"Sounds like a scale."
Zha Kang frowned tightly, smoking cigarettes one by one, and said:
"If you want to maintain balance, you have to make some sacrifices. It really fits the evil style of the Stars Club."
"No!"
"If it was the so-called 'Second Shock' that happened more than three years ago, why didn't our world feel at all? Batman was in Gotham during that time and never left.
It is impossible for him to be absent from such a world-class event. "
"Because you are 'bye'."
Green Goblin said faintly:
"And you have had two byes in a row. It seems that your world luck is really good. Of course, there is another possibility. Some of us high-level people who have mixed into the research institute have revealed a piece of news.
Actually, the Star Society and even their superior organization did not have a specific conclusion on the research on the "Doomsday Impact". Some of them speculated that this impact would first cover the lower world, and then spread upward bit by bit.
It was like a... well, brutal gladiatorial fight.
First, let the miscellaneous fish warm up and heat up the atmosphere, and then the truly fierce fighters will join in the more **** gladiatorial fights. But you can tell from the looks of you that you can't hide this time.
I guess, the powerhouses in your world are busy now? "
"Um."
Mason nodded.
He glanced at the Green Goblin, and then called through the communicator:
"Jack! Are your negotiations going well? We may need allies to appear."
"Wait a minute, we are talking."
The voice of Captain Jack came from the communicator, and he said:
"The leaders of the underground people made excessive demands, but they still gave Dr. Connors face and didn't swallow me on the spot. There is still something to talk about.
I need a moment. "
"No time for you."
Mason glanced at more and more aircraft taking off in the open sea, he said:
"Twenty minutes at most, you must rush to Osborne Tower or it will be too late."
Captain Jack was silent for a while, and after a few seconds, he said:
"I try my best."
Mason's action made the Green Goblin smile.
He knew that the captain of Team K had made a very difficult decision, but when he was about to leave with Harry Osborn's biological cabin, Mason stopped him.
"You will fight them, but what about your son?"
Mason says:
"He was dragged out of the time stream by the stars. Once they discover your rebellion, you will lose him again."
"So why do you think I am looking for the person behind you?"
The old green goblin showed a weird smile, looked at his son sleeping peacefully in the biological cabin, and said:
"If they really want to do something, if they want to control our power, they have to pay something as a 'deposit' first, don't they?"
"The third shock is coming, are you sure you want to change the court at this time?"
Mason says:
"Without the protection of the Society of Stars, this world will be over, right?"
"Take a look around you, Mason."
Old Norman pointed to the distant ruined city where the dust was scattered due to the shock just now, and he whispered:
"What's the difference between the current state of the world and death? Besides, don't you still have you? Since I'm 'selling myself', I'm naturally eager to sell it for a good price.
If you want me to hand over the hidden power that we, the remnants of the doomsday, paid the price of the whole world to build, you have to pay something, right?
This is a gamble.
I bet you rebels have a way to protect the world.
If I lose the bet.
That only shows that I have bad eyesight. "
The Green Goblin put on his mechanical helmet again, and said:
"One final reminder. Don't hold back against the Cleaners!
Those guys have been transformed to wipe out all emotions, and have been turned into walking biochemical beasts with messy enhancers. To be kind to them is to be cruel to yourself.
It's just a low-level legion stationed here, and it's not difficult to deal with as long as you make up your mind. The only trouble is their battle mothership. The firepower of that thing can wipe out the Osborne Tower in a few minutes. "
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Peter Parker who was standing there, and said coldly:
"As for you, Peter, you should also make your own choice, after wasting so much time. Do you continue to hide underground?
Or give your blood again for a world that is dead? "
The Green Goblin who dropped a few words disappeared into the night sky, leaving only the K team whispering and discussing.
"This truth is so exciting, I need some time to calm down."
Barbara Gordon, who watched the whole process, complained in the communication:
"At first I thought it was a simple matter of shoveling evil and repelling rape, so why did this turn around like a spy? And speaking of it, do you really believe what that old Norman said?
Why do I always feel like he hasn't told the whole truth? "
"He has reservations, that's for sure."
Jackson glanced at Mason while exhaling smoke rings, and said:
"Now I suspect that he has exaggerated the capabilities of his 'rebel army'. If the sand people are really useless in his eyes, he doesn't need to spend so much resources to train the Hydra team.
If you want me to say, this old guy may really have cards in his hand.
But certainly not much.
His showdown at this time is not just to show his position, but to ask for help
right!
He hopes to embrace the thigh of the organization that Mr. Hunter belongs to! "
“And I have serious doubts about his grip on the superheroes he puts in the Stellaris.”
Master Catwoman also rubbed her eyes and said:
"All conscientious people in this world died in the doomsday invasion, no matter how those who survived whitewashed their original behavior, betrayal is betrayal.
How much loyalty can you expect from those who gave up their world at the last moment to be trampled by invaders?
The Stars will have some means to win over those exiles.
But I also know that our little Mason is a kind guy, and he doesn't want people to suffer. It's impossible for you to let this world continue to be exploited by the cleaners.
I actually think you'd have to fight the Cleaners with or without the Goblin thing, or you wouldn't have Jack negotiating for reinforcements.
You have been planning this battle. "
“We really should help them!”
Ertong, who has always been silent, said briefly:
"No matter how powerful they are, they are always a help. As long as they are fighting against the Stars, they are our allies."
"I think so!"
While reloading his kinetic energy light machine gun, the kite man said to Mason:
"Boss, pulling people back can make Mr. Hunter value you more. Didn't you say that you want to show our value? Now this is a good opportunity!"
Mason nodded but did not speak immediately, but turned to look at the silent Mrs. Elizabeth and Angelina, and said:
"What do you two think?"
"Huh? Do we need to seek the opinions of our servants for such a big event?"
The female pirate found a bottle of wine from somewhere and took a sip. Although she said she didn't care, when Mason asked her opinion, she shrugged and replied:
"I have no opinion, but if you need a suggestion, I will tell you to help them!
Pirates know this.
If you have to turn down every crooked offer of cooperation when you get into trouble at sea, you'll be alone in no time.
What you do in this line of work is just a heartbeat. "
"Yes."
Mrs. Elizabeth folded her arms and looked at the deep sea.
She didn't know what she was thinking, and said without turning her head:
"It's just to see who has the better means, Mason, I have a little confidence in your wisdom. I don't have as much thoughtfulness as you at your age. Don't be afraid of them, Mr. Hunter will stand up to the sky falling.
Do it! "
"Since you all say so. Let's do it!"
Mason took a deep breath, reached out and touched the Sorting Hat, which was already screaming excitedly when he heard that the liquidator was going to be killed, then looked at his team members, and said:
"Let's fight against the Cleaners tonight, and test their quality by the way. Even if we are caught by the Justice League after we go back, we have some hard goods on hand to facilitate negotiations.
Jack!
I know you've been eavesdropping!
Damn, hurry up and pull people over, otherwise we won't be able to make a splash if we throw them in. Oh, by the way, don't forget to invite our demon knight.
A little force of justice is desperately needed here. "
