Chapter 324 23. Jane Foster in this world said that she has loved and is tired.
Mason's three Kryptonians are the strongest men in the squad, but they can't do anything with Quake either, proving that pure brute force is useless against this thing.
The captain also wants to try the challenge of pulling out the magic hammer.
But he's clearly a know-it-all.
Under the faint gaze of the eagle eye, Mason took a deep breath, and said to the old stone hammer in a solemn tone:
"As conditions permit, I, Mason Cooper, a homecoming wanderer in this wasteland world, I swear to do my best to help this post-apocalyptic hometown.
Just as your previous holder did. "
As a solemn oath was made, Mason then held the worn-out handle of Thor's Hammer. He seemed to have the illusion that the hammer was shaking, but after a few seconds, the hammer remained motionless under the force of his whole body.
Well, Oath guessed wrong.
Thor's dying words have nothing to do with "Guardian".
Eagle Eye, who was staring at Mason's movements, sighed regretfully, and the glimmer of expectation in his eyes under the sunglasses also dimmed.
The old hero took out the wine jug on his waist and unscrewed the lid, and said softly:
"It's not your fault, Mason, it's just because this world has long been hopeless. Let it stay here, and let Thor's last wish rot with this world."
"If I could, I would, too."
Mason glanced at the black death sword suit on his left hand, which could no longer be suppressed, and said:
"Sorry, Clint, your friend's relic may be damaged today. For me, when I can't use legitimate methods to obtain something I desperately need, I am actually not hesitant to adopt a more 'flexible' method."
"唰"
Black viscous liquid covered Thor's Hammer under his feet like a swarm of snakes.
In an instant, thunder splattered, and the wind and cloud changed color, causing Eagle Eye and the old wolf not far away to look up at the sky at the same time. This scene reminded them of the glorious scene of the man who controlled the thunder descending from the sky a long time ago.
However, this is just an instinctive counterattack of the worn-out artifact that lost its master, but it is powerless to resist the bite of the wolf-like black death sword without any support.
In just a few seconds, all visions disappeared.
Wrapped in fine blue electric arcs, the Black Death Sword lazily returned to Mason's wrist, as if he had tasted a delicious morsel.
Under the gaze of everyone, Thor's Hammer, which had stood here for seventeen years, fell to the ground with a bang, as if it had lost all its magic.
This made Eagle Eye suddenly stand up.
He looked at Mason in surprise, who gave him an apologetic smile.
He really couldn't control Hei Death Sword's actions, and he delayed giving him a chance to try just now because Hei Death Sword saw that he had "happy cooperation" with Mason before.
"Okay, the brute force cracking is complete, now let us reveal what Thor's last words are."
Mason bent down and reached out to pick up Mjolnir, who had lost his divinity. His hands were heavy but within acceptable range, as if all the divine power had been swallowed up and only a heavy body remained.
This time, the entry of the hammer is no longer concealed in Mason's eyes:
Mjolnir Thor's Hammer
Quality: Epic Forging/Inscription/Enchanted Creation·Immortal Craft [The lack of divinity reduces the quality]
Trait: Thunder Infusion·Death Star Build
Effect: The Thor's Hammer, which has been extracted with divine power, has become a mortal thing, but it can still be regarded as a high-level magic item with considerable lethality, and it can summon thunder attacks in the hands of the user.
hint!
Because it comes from the hands of dwarves, Mjolnir can be regarded as a forging hammer of the same quality. When using it for forging, there is a chance to infuse the finished product with additional entries related to [Thunder] and [War] fields.
The effective probability of this effect is related to the blacksmith's skills. Under the current blacksmithing skills, the chance of triggering [Thunder Infusion] is low.
Divine Law (expired):
1. Anyone who holds this hammer can control the power of Thor, which comes from God King Odin.
Two. No matter who it is, please save my brother, from Thor Odinson, the God of Thunder.
Creator: Ai Tri of Nidavi
Item Description: I just wanted to tell you that there is actually a way to circumvent that law. If you can listen to me, you will have a Meow Hammer that belongs to you. Unfortunately, there is not enough space to write it down.
"Want to know what Thor's dying wish was?"
Mason ignored the item description that was obviously messing with his mentality. With a hint of ridicule, he held the Thor's Hammer that had lost its power, and turned to Eagle Eye and said:
"I think it will definitely exceed your imagination."
"Speak."
Clint said with a complex expression:
"I will try my best to fulfill Thor's last wish, if we can still do it."
"At the end of his life, he still hoped that someone could help him save Loki, his stinky younger brother who was born with bad blood."
Mason shook his head.
He threw the newly harvested forging hammer into the bag, patted the dust on his hands, and said with emotion:
"Sometimes I really envy Loki, and I don't need to think about the result when I do something wrong, because there will always be a big stupid guy desperate to wipe my ass.
I suspect that the unique way of getting along between the two brothers is just a trick used by Loki to act like a baby to his brother, tsk, it always feels wrong to say that. "
"Speaking of this, I remembered a gossip I heard before."
Hawkeye rubbed his chin with a messy beard, and said softly:
"It is said that when the Fantastic Four blocked Loki, the evil **** could have escaped, but he went crazy like crazy, contrary to normal cunning, and fought with the Fantastic Four to the end.
Maybe
The truth is as you say.
The world without Thor is not worthy of nostalgia for Loki. He may have realized the cruel truth that Thor died at the hands of Hulk, so he chose to kill himself with the death of his relatives. "
"But why?"
The doubts in Mason's heart became more and more floating, and he asked:
"It is said that on the night of the nuclear war, the super villains of the whole world united without warning, and they launched a counterattack against the justice camp under the leadership of the Red Skull.
Sounds like a group of crazy people going crazy.
But even crazy people do things for a reason, and if this was the area where a lot of nuclear bombs went off, why is there hardly any radiation left?
Look here, Clint, in terms of radiation residues, this place is much cleaner than Logan's farm, and even these people have lived here for seventeen years.
Maybe someone absorbed all the radiation from the detonation?
Is it Hulk?
Catalyzed from gamma energy, he does have such an ability, which may also explain the result of his battle with Thor. Killing Thor is not an easy task even for the furious Hulk. "
"I haven't heard similar rumors, but your guess is very reasonable. This can also explain why Hulk went crazy. The terrifying radiation absorbed by one brain is enough to destroy his already useless brain.
As for the truth of the nuclear war, maybe it is the prophesied doomsday natural disaster? "
Eagle Eye popped out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, saying:
"Only in terms of results, the entire world and civilization did collapse after that night, which verified their previous prophecy of the end of the world."
"No, this is a civil war at best."
Mason shook his head and said:
"The real crisis comes from outside the world, but I guess you are well protected so you don't know what happened to the outside world in the past seventeen years."
"Protect?"
Eagle Eye curled his lips and said:
"This is the most nonsense I've ever heard! Making the world like this is still called protection. The values of you outsiders are really **** distorted."
"At least you are still alive, although you are like mice living in a garbage dump, eating leftovers every day."
Mason pushed the mirror frame on the bridge of his nose, and he said patiently:
"It sounds miserable, but the truth is that you only need to pay attention to the food to satisfy your hunger and beware of the malice of the people around you, instead of worrying about some more terrifying situations with the little remaining energy.
To be honest, you will be envied outside for your 'carefree' living conditions. Why? you do not believe? Then why don't you take a moment to listen to me tell you what kind of troubles the entire parallel world system has encountered in the past seventeen years? "
Eagle Eye was also a little moved, but at this moment, the captain suddenly felt the black death sword suit on his wrist suddenly excited.
This surprised him.
At the same time, Barbara's screams also sounded in the communication:
"Mason! Something is coming out of the ground! Run!"
Mason activated the speed force ring with a shock, threw the spider car into the bag at the moment of entering superluminal speed, and ran out a few kilometers away in a flash while grabbing the eagle eye.
The poor old hero was caught off guard and experienced a "supercar" that accelerated to the speed of light in a few tenths of a second. The moment Mason showed his figure, Clint fell to his knees with a plop, almost Spit out the stomach.
asshole!
Even the sense of balance of a superhero is not born to adapt to this rhythm!
Before you start running, you better get me ready, okay?
"Boom"
But before Eagle Eye could complain, one-fifth of Hammerfall's surface collapsed suddenly.
It was like a big earthquake that changed the earth's crust, and it was like the legendary earth dragon turning over. As far as the eyes could see, the already dilapidated buildings fell down in rows and splashed a lot of smoke and dust.
Chaotic screams erupted in the city, and Mason, who reacted extremely quickly, grabbed a replica wide falcon backpack and started the thrusters to fly into the sky and look ahead.
Flying smoke and dust severely reduced visibility.
But one could vaguely see a nest of filthy black beings rolling in the cracks like the legendary snake that devoured the world.
"What it is?"
Mason frowned and asked softly, but no one could answer him, because other than him and Barbara, the members of K Team 2.0 had never seen anything of this scale.
"Mason! I detected a very strange life signal."
Ten seconds after the earthquake, Batgirl's voice rang through the team comm, she said:
"The thing below is very similar to Selena's venom suit! But the biological energy level is at least twenty times higher! In addition, the blue beetle scanned the gap, and we can be sure that the thing has hollowed out Hammerfell and the nearby Gobi. The underground space is like a monster hiding in the ground is startled by something.
The initial explosion point of this thing is in your area. What the **** did you do? "
"Quake!"
Mason narrowed his eyes, and the cause and effect were instantly connected. He said:
"I took Mjolnir, so this thing got out of the way. Well, a very reasonable explanation. It seems that the divine power of Quake's hammer was restraining the surrounding ground, which happened to suppress this thing under the ground. relief."
He touched the extremely excited black death sword suit on his wrist again.
The old man's excitement at this time was not the excitement of seeing the food, but more like the excitement of seeing the same kind of bully who could be "bullied" by it, which made Mason curl his lips.
"You finally found the same kind, look at you."
He looked at the giant black symbiote that was still expanding the gap, and complained to the black death sword suit:
"But you don't intend to help me, how can I clean up this mess now?"
"Catch! Fusion! Complete!"
After understanding Mason's meaning, the black death sword battle suit rarely took the initiative to convey a ray of consciousness information to his "pendant". It was very vague, but he could still distinguish its meaning.
"Maybe it's because the giant symbiont in front of me has undergone some kind of qualitative change beyond the quantitative change?"
Isu biologist Consus projected on Mason's side, explaining to Mason based on his own guesses in the professional field:
"As the apex of the King's Landing symbiote family, the fragment of the Black Death Sword dismissed the venom in Selena's hands, but it became interested in the extremely large sample in front of it.
You shall meet its demands, my brother.
This may make the black death sword fragments in your hand more complete, or unlock more vitality. "
"But is it really necessary?"
The hat on Mason's head complained:
"I think this guy is already active enough, and it's only interested in divine enemies. It seems a bit outweighed by the gain to let Mason attack such a dangerous enemy at the risk of injury to his team members?"
"No, Mr. Hat."
Consus explained slowly:
"The fragments of the Black Death Sword only attack divine enemies. Apart from its own arrogance, it is also because it is in a weak state. Providing it with more choices may help it to exert its power more frequently."
"Is it really?"
Mason is skeptical of this statement.
But he finally chose to trust Consus's professional opinion in his own field, but Mason still needs to collect a little more target information before making any moves.
"Blue Beetle!"
The captain instructed in the team communication:
"Turn on the life scanning mode of the scarab system, and sweep this guy from the beginning to the end! Then tell me the conclusion, and others should stay away.
Harry, send the Hautleys and Hawkeye out of danger on a flying motorcycle. "
"Received!" X2
Two energetic responses from a man and a woman sounded.
The blue flying motorcycle turned around and flew out of the smoky Hammerfell Town. Harry, wearing a windshield, slammed the gas pedal, while the old wolf was sitting in the back of the car, clinging to Mason's magic suitcase.
His family is in it.
Behind Harley, the blue beetle armed with alien scarabs accelerated and flew towards the giant black symbiosis that was tearing the earth apart.
Inheriting the tough folk customs of the Texans, the cowboy boy is surprisingly bold, and he has no fear in the face of this huge monster with a diameter of about ten meters in front of him.
But after getting closer, he discovered that the "giant snake" he thought had no scalp-numbing snake skin or bones at all.
This thing is only covered with a layer of rock shell. After the thick rock shell is gradually broken, what is exposed is a "body" that is still staggering and rolling like black mud.
It's like a thing made from oil.
"It's disgusting."
He cursed, and then activated the life detection according to Mason's request.
The life detection of a cosmic level war weapon is extraordinary. The blue light beam shoots out from the arm of the blue beetle, and sweeps into the surging giant below like an X-ray. It takes him ten seconds to sweep from the beginning to the end, and then reports to :
"Report to the captain! The target is suspected to be a cosmic life in the form of a parasite. It has grown to a very advanced level and is suspected to have super-deadness.
The weakness information of this race is not included in the scarab database, but the combat suggestion it gives is to use fire! I can make a flamethrower."
"Your little water gun should be put away first, it won't come in handy."
Mason asked:
"Did you find any symbiont hosts in the scan?"
"Host?"
Blue Beetle was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at the information and repeated confirmation before replying:
"No! No! This symbiont is a single life, and there is no second life signal in its body."
"Sure enough, your guess is right, Consus."
Mason nodded and it became clear where the excitement of the Black Death Sword came from. He was suspended in the air and said:
"The venom in front of us seems to have completed the 'evolution'. Like the black death sword, it does not need a host to maintain its individual existence. No wonder the black death sword uncle is excited about its appearance."
"I've been right professionally, my brother."
Consus' figure turned into pixels and dissipated. He reminded:
"The target of this strange symbiote is the life in the city. It is obviously very hungry and wants to feast on brothers. No matter what you want to do, hurry up."
"Catch it, of course."
Mason rubbed his chin, watching the dramatic geological changes in front of him.
He said in the tone of a researcher:
"The environment of the wasteland and the fierce battle seventeen years ago obviously caused some interesting changes in Venom, and its vitality can obviously be used as a better research material.
Tsk, you can meet but you can't get it.
As the hometown of Wasteland, it is really generous enough not to disappoint. "
