Chapter 352 51. This is probably the fate of being the captain of the self-destruction (sad)
Mason is back at the base of the Weapon X project again.
Holding the purple power gem in his hand, Logan staggered behind him. After the fire of power was recovered to the uncontrolled rough stone, he, who was extremely miserable, also began to heal quickly.
This undead body is so enticing to see, and the extreme self-healing that even the infinite gems can't kill makes Logan Hautley truly a "perfect creature" in the true sense.
The old wolf dragged the chain behind him, and at the end was the red skull whose limbs had been cut off but was still howling.
The latter realized that his secret evil plan had been spotted by Mason, which made the doomed president who was on the verge of failure almost crazy.
He cursed at Mason and provoked Logan.
The ugly words really make people feel the hairy quality of the commander of Hydra. Being commanded by such a bastard, it is no wonder that the development of Hydra has been repeatedly frustrated.
"This Red Skull is a member of your organization, will killing him affect you?"
Logan was not provoked by the red skull's foul language, he said in a hoarse voice:
"I actually don't mind letting this scum suffer for a while."
"No, there are many factions in the Star Society, and the Red Skull itself is an abandoned poor guy. He was placed in this world and is not a hero who controls one side, Logan.
Even the evil companions who did bad things with him at the beginning were wary of the madness and ambition of the Red Skull, so he was imprisoned in this wasteland in disguise.
He's just a sad **** who was used and then thrown away. "
Speaking of which, Mason glanced at the silent Red Skull, and said sarcastically:
"Just like a used condom, it was ruthlessly thrown in the garbage dump waiting to rot."
"Are the young people of the Stars Club talking so viciously now?"
The doomsday president who had all his plans dismantled said in a hoarse voice:
"But so what if you know? As long as I die Onslaught will be born! Charles Xavier wants to keep this secret, but power will always find a way!
This is a dead end, Mason Cooper.
You can't stop a stronger me from appearing. "
"Then I can only say that your imagination is still a bit weak. Maybe it's because you have been in prison for a long time and your brain is not enough."
Mason scoffed at the argument.
He and Logan walked through the main control room of the Weapon X project, and the old wolf looked at the biological cabins displayed below and the Hydra men who were being bred in them silently.
His fists were clenched tightly, and the strength stemming from anger was bursting out, wishing to destroy this nest of evil immediately, but then a more sad emotion was born in his mind.
They were tricked after all.
The Weapon X project and all the preparations made by all the heroes seventeen years ago to fight against the apocalypse are all under the guidance of people with a heart.
A whole world has become a tool in the hands of conspirators.
Even the world itself is used as a "world factory" to support the dark forces to grow stronger.
Their resistance and hope, their persistence and suffering were all proved to be meaningless actions in the end.
"That's why I chose to fight them, Logan."
The emotion that erupted in the old wolf's silence was sensed by Mason, and he whispered:
"They not only plunder the resources in the entire parallel world system, they are greedy and at the same time spread despair wantonly, squandering the suffering of others as nutrients for their own growth.
This goes beyond the definition of evil.
They are a stubborn disease that must be destroyed! It is a cancer derived from this dark age. What I saw in my dilapidated hometown will only make me more determined, and it will also make our fellow travelers more determined. "
When he finished speaking, the area where Mason's awakening cabin was located before him was quietly opened, and an Atlantis-style bio-energy cabin was placed here.
A faint blue arc appeared in the darkness, and the energy source was connected to the Weapon X project base so that the bio-energy capsule could continue to operate.
Mason stepped forward and motioned for Logan to come and have a look.
Old wolf dropped the chain in his hand and stepped forward, he was startled at first glance.
The state of Captain Atom stored in the energy cabin is much worse than when Mason discovered him before. Before that, his limbs were only chaotically switching between matter and energy levels. Now even his entire body is in the "quantum state" of superposition of existence and disappearance. .
Only one blue-skinned head remained intact.
"Adam, are you okay?"
Mason knocked on the lid of the energy cabin, and asked softly:
"It's me, Mason."
"I can hear, so you don't have to knock on the already fragile glass, lest it break it and release my uncontrollable energy, blowing you and me into ashes."
Weak and painful voices sounded from the bio-energy cabin, with a touch of ridicule, which fully proved the good character of the unlucky guy who was made into a weapon.
Captain Atom opened his eyes in the energy cabin.
Because of excessive intake of uncontrollable energy, his pupils turned pale, dotted with scattered light. He looked at Mason, then at Logan, and then said with a trace of relief and helplessness:
"So, it's about time, right?"
"Feel sorry."
Mason said softly:
"Dr. Otto, Norman, and Professor Stein have tried their best, but we can't convert you from the quantum state back to the physical body.
The crude experiments done on you by the Atlanteans have completely destabilized you. "
"It's okay, no apology, Mason."
Atomic captain Nathaniel Adam shook his head. In the body’s constantly changing peculiar form, he whispered in a voice reverberating with energy:
"When I was captured by the Atlanteans, I knew what they planned to do with me. My only regret is that I am not strong enough to escape the shackles of fate.
In the sleep of chaos, I have experienced nightmares again and again. Without exception, I was made into a weapon to destroy the world I love.
That was the scariest and saddest ending I could think of.
But when I woke up, I didn't see a broken world, Mason, I heard from Lex Luthor about the help of K-team to the world.
I also saw with my own eyes that the glorious transfer gate was displayed on the world, transferring the dying civilization to other worlds so that the people I spent my whole life protecting could continue.
It was you who helped me escape the nightmare, and it was you who helped me fulfill my responsibilities.
I was able to die with a smile, and no longer filled with hatred for others.
Not to mention that you gave me a chance to realize my existence value, although my ultimate value still has to be used to destroy a world, it is really ironic fate. "
He smiled, then looked at the silent old wolf, and said:
"Logan Hautley, I just learned about what happened to you here through a database connection to this base, and I am deeply saddened by what has happened to your world.
But Mason was right.
For such a tragic fate, it is the most decent way to give this post-apocalyptic world a relief. My final explosion will bury everything here.
Like funeral fireworks.
Honor is here, despicable is here, despair is here, great is here.
I am honored to use my death to preserve the last bit of dignity for your troubled hometown. I have also known your decision, and you will stay here to accompany me to the end, right? "
"Um."
Old Wolf already knew Mason's plan from Captain Atom's description in front of him.
He was very relieved by this and had no resistance. He stood up straight, and made a respectful courtesy to Nathaniel Adam in the bio-energy cabin, saying:
"It has been an honor to work with you, Your Excellency."
"You are just wishful thinking!"
The "human stick" Red Skull, who also listened to all this, felt the chill of a real crisis coming, and he screamed:
"A super atomic man out of control is indeed terrifying, but it is far from enough to really destroy a world. You will blow up this world, but mad attack can also survive in a fragmented star core.
Ha, you don't want to kill me! "
"well said!"
Mason pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose.
"Then you might as well guess, Lord Red Skull, what did I bring this thing here for?"
"no, you can not!"
As expected of the super villain who destroyed civilization, the Red Skull immediately realized what Mason was thinking, and he roared:
"That's an infinity gem! A wonder of the universe, owning it can make you a **** in an instant, and you can't destroy it just to make me disappear.
You can use this to call the wind and rain, but you want to let yourself down!
Don't do it!
Mason, you're being stupid! "
"god?"
Mason scoffed at this kind of argument. While opening the entrance of Captain Atom's energy capsule, he carefully took out the special tweezers and put the purple gem into it.
while saying:
"Come on, I still have three 'gods' as teammates, and they all respectfully call me captain, and I have to help them worry about it. Whoever wants to be a 'god' should go.
I am not rare. "
"嗡"
The moment the power gem was put into the energy cabin, purple sparks reverberated and exploded in the body of Captain Atom’s quantum state, and Adam tried his best to absorb it.
In just a few seconds, his original blue energy sparks were completely transformed into flame-like purple.
"It's really a powerful power."
Captain Atom said hoarsely:
"Give me twenty minutes, Mason, I only need twenty minutes to absorb and I can guarantee to crush this world into the finest stardust when it explodes.
I promise, nothing will stay!
Whether it’s the factory of the evil Hydra, or those mutant gene pools that are properly stored in a secret place, or a super villain who has ulterior motives and wants to become an ‘Evil God’.
Well, this will be the most glorious closing act I can imagine, thank you for giving me this opportunity. "
"Thanks, Adam."
Mason stood by the energy cabin and said to the poor man who voluntarily died:
"I will bring your story back to Osborne Tower, I guarantee that your fellow countrymen will know your great devotion, and they will all sing your name"
"No, let them forget me, a loser who almost destroyed the world is not worthy of being remembered."
Captain Atom whispered:
"But if there must be an exchange to make you feel at ease about my sacrifice, then I hope you can promise me one thing, Mason Cooper."
"you say."
Mason listened with a solemn expression, and then heard the atomic man in the biological cabin say softly:
"Try to go to the end.
If you think there is hope in all this, if you believe that the dark ages will pass and the future will be bright and hopeful, then go to the end.
Show me that new era.
I kind of helped make it happen, right? "
"I promise!"
Mason took a deep breath.
He bowed to the biological cabin emitting purple light in front of him, and said:
"Even if death is inevitable, I will fall on the way forward."
"Okay, it's time for you to leave!"
The old wolf waited until the farewell between Mason and Captain Atom was over. He took a cigarette and pulled the chain of the Red Skull to tie the pathetic human stick to the purple energy capsule, ensuring that the **** would feel the annihilation in the first place real touch.
Said to Mason:
"Twenty minutes is enough for you to leave, Mason, let's go! Leave here with the last blessing this world gives you, and walk with your head held high!
Do the big things you should do with an open heart, and I will ensure that this plan will go to the last step. "
"Logan, you."
Mason looked at the determined old wolf.
He wanted to persuade him again, but Logan turned his back on him and took out the body bags brought out from the ruins of Xavier College one by one from his luggage and placed them around.
It's like placing tombstones.
He knew that this was the end that the old wolf had arranged for him. He chose this place as his grave, which in itself was the answer to Mason's retention.
Facing such a stubborn bastard, any words from Mason seemed so redundant.
He sighed and said:
"Is there anything for Vanessa and the two kids?"
"Everything that needs to be said has been said on the way."
Logan stopped and said without looking back:
"Just if you can, teach my son for me, don't let him follow my old path, let alone make the same irreparable mistakes as me.
Do your best to protect your relatives and friends, and never wave your paws in the wrong direction.
So be it. "
"Um."
Mason threw out a pack of Sika cigarettes as a farewell gift, and then walked into the darkness alone. A few minutes later, the door of the base was completely locked, making the place quiet again.
Like a sealed tomb, it is full of coldness and fear.
"Logan, you know, you can actually leave with Mason."
Captain Atom waited until Logan had placed all the body bags beside him, and said:
"You still have a chance to pay off your terrible guilt in better ways than to stay here and die."
"I'm tired, Adam."
Logan stood up, popped a cigarette in his mouth, and walked to the railing to look at the biological cabins of the Hydra soldiers displayed in front of him, and responded chicly:
“No matter how harsh the fate is, an old man who is hundreds of years old cannot be required to embark on a difficult journey. You see, my brothers and sisters are all here, and this is my destination and my home.”
He exhaled the smoke ring, looked at the body bag behind him, as if he saw the former X-Men standing beside him, and at the forefront was himself seventeen years ago.
He grinned and moved his body.
It was the first time that I faced the torture of the past so calmly.
In the thick rising smoke, he said:
"Go to TM's atonement and the future, I'm tired, I can't move anymore, let the future be left to Mason and the others."
"Yeah, although they always secretly call me 'Captain Self-Explosion'."
Adam in the energy cabin complained:
"But I know that they are all good people. Entrusting the future to such people can always make people feel at ease. Alas, uncontrollable self-explosion, explosion after explosion, can always cause all kinds of troubles .
This is probably my fate.
But who would have thought that the journey to death would be so wonderful, and there were two people accompanying me on the last journey.
Tsk, Red Skull, howl louder!
Didn't you eat? You!
Everyone is dying, can you give me some strength?
Logan, kick him quickly, give him another knife, I want to hear him howling. "
"okay."
