Chapter 421 36. Always betting on the winner is a very good strategy, the problem is to distinguish who is the real winner!
When the Mason trio appeared on the streets of New York with a suitcase containing the Soul Gem, they were immediately spotted by a drone unleashed by Brainiac.
These spherical drones with a strong appearance style are the "eyes" of the God of Wisdom. They can not only capture any unexpected situations, but also shoot scorching lasers to cut everything when necessary.
When the three drones surrounded them and began to charge, Mason raised the mechanical suitcase in his hand and said to the drone with the laser generator in front of him:
"Your Excellency Brainiac, we can talk. The soul gem is in the box. I installed a self-destruct device for it. Once we die here, the gem you are thinking about will be broken into **** here."
"唰"
An optical projection hit in front of the three of them, and Brainiac, who was sitting on the Mechanical Throne, stared at them expressionlessly. The big green-skinned alien said:
"I don't think you have a device that can destroy infinite rough stones. Similar infinite stone crushers require at least eleven levels of wisdom to make."
"Then you can take a gamble, green skin with pointed ears."
Halley let out a bright laugh and waved a baseball bat, and said excitedly in her trademark sharp voice:
"Mr. K told us everything, if you really don't care about all of this, there is no need to hide this sneaky privateering operation without telling the Hope Council!
There is no need to risk being discovered and run over in person!
You can kill us, but guess how long it will be before you find another plane with full Infinity Stones and no one bothering you to do bad things? "
"Really! We 'really' don't have the means to destroy the Infinity Stone."
Jakon on the other side of Mason exhaled a smoke ring, winked and said to the drone image:
"Come on, Lord Brainiac, shoot lasers at us, kill us and screw everything up. Don't forget what we do, we have plenty of weird things!"
These two guys mocked in every possible way, but Mason maintained a look of wisdom in his hands, which made Brainiac a little bit wary. Members of the Stars Club travel through the worlds, and it is really hard to guarantee whether the bold three have the real thing in their hands. ?
Infinity gems can be destroyed, I hope the high level of the council will be clear about this.
The current situation has entered a common "chicken's game" stage. After a few seconds of confrontation, the drones surrounding the three of Mason spread out, and soon a beam of light was shot down in front of the three from a high altitude.
It's like an invitation.
"Step forward and step into the teleportation beam."
Brainiac's voice came from the drone, and he said:
"You and I come from the same system, we can really talk."
"Hey, let me be honest, Mr. Director, do you think your private plundering has not been discovered? Why do you think we are here?"
Mason pressed the hat on his head and whispered to the drone beside him:
"Let me remind you, Director Brainiac, my nickname is 'Old K', a colleague of yours who stepped down as the chairman not long ago asked us to say hello to you.
We are his emissaries, come to discuss some matters with you, and help you accomplish the great cause you most desire at this time.
Considering that our "bizarre death" in a few seconds will be regarded as your provocation against another force, so I suggest you check whether this transmission beam is really "safe" at the end? "
Mason's "reminder" did not cause any special changes in the phantom projected by the drone, but the color of the transmission beam ahead did change abruptly.
This made Zha Kang behind Mason laugh weirdly, and Mason shook his head and said sarcastically:
"You are really careful, Mr. Director, no wonder you have sent super spies to multiple worlds and have not revealed it until today."
He strode forward into the beam, followed by Harry and Jarcon.
In the next moment, the three of them appeared in the main control room of the exile spaceship. In front of them was Brainiac sitting on the Mechanical Throne. It was not until he stood in front of him that Mason realized that this guy was very tall. Burly, the 185 Queen Skrull stood beside his throne like a stunted green bean sprout.
The perfect Ultron, which already has five gems, stands on the other side of the throne, fulfilling its mission and obligation as a tool.
"Old A sends greetings to you, Mr. Director."
Mason took a step forward and opened the mechanical box in front of Brainiac. The appearance of the Soul Gem intact made Brainiac narrow his eyes.
Ultron next to him stepped forward with robotic steps, took the gem out of the box and put it into the last groove on his chest.
The next moment, the six gemstones gathered to form a complete system, causing the silver robot to burst out with a powerful energy shock, pushing the three of Mason a few steps away.
The power from the origin of the universe on a plane continuously erupts from the body of Perfect Ultron, and the colorful streamer extends along its metal body and continuously spills out, finally forming a layer of glazed halo.
The energy readings in his body continued to rise and finally successfully broke through a certain limit, causing Brainiac behind him to widen his eyes.
That's how it feels!
Perfect Ultron's life form has entered a higher level, it can already carry its huge consciousness and help itself build a ladder to the next stage.
You only need to start the consciousness conversion program, and you can get out of this backward and weak body.
But Brainiac was in no rush to complete the ritual.
He waved and ordered Perfect Ultron to enter the isolation cabin to prepare for consciousness download, and let his mechanical throne levitate, looking down at the three Masons in front of him. At this moment, the universe conqueror said gently:
"I thank Mr. Nick Fury for his help to my career. I have seen his sincerity. So, can the missions of the three be revealed at this moment?
What would your master want to talk to me about? "
"Old A wants to control the Star Club!"
Mason was also polite, looked up to Brainiac and said:
"You have to do your best to help him complete this matter. The warlock master loyal to Mephisto is a threat to prevent old A from moving, and that is also our goal in the next stage.
We know you have a relationship with him.
We need to take advantage of this, and give me your remaining Skrull servants, and Quint will put them to good use. "
"It's a very reasonable request, and it's in line with my consistent view of 'Old A'. I knew he wouldn't be willing to be an honest arbiter."
Blainiak doesn't doubt Mason's statement, because there is indeed a lot of evidence that Nick Fury in the Council of Hope has a great interest in the exploration organization of the Stars.
But this twelfth-level intelligent creature still had some final doubts. He stared at Mason and said:
"If you are really his emissary, why slaughter my servant? You know that as long as you reveal your identity in the first place, there will be no conflict between us."
"Because I have another identity besides the messenger of old A."
Mason generously took out his Royal X Knight medal, waved it in front of Brainiac, and said:
"I am a mutant from Utopia! My war against the Skrulls does not involve a higher level, this is just the punishment your servant deserves for viciously infiltrating Utopia!
This may offend you.
But this is how we rude mutants do things. Whoever dares to show his teeth and claws at us, we will cut off his claws!
You and the Supreme Professor still have a lot of issues to discuss about compensation, but that is not my field, I just perform my duties as the "Utopian Executioner".
But look, my lord.
I could have driven the heroes of this world to slaughter your pathetic servants, but I still have a part left to serve you.
This is exactly my sincerity. "
"It's very reasonable, and it's in line with Utopia's usual code of conduct. For this regrettable mistake, I will personally go to the Supreme Professor to express my apology."
Brainiac nodded solemnly on his mechanical throne, then he glanced at the trembling Queen Skrull and said to Mason:
"Now, they are yours."
"No, master!"
Queen Skrull stared at Mason with hatred, and begged Brainiac again:
"Please don't abandon us! Give us another chance, we love you, we follow you, we infiltrated and destroyed countless worlds for you, this should not be our end."
"Your mission with me is over, now you will be loyal to your new master."
Brainiac replied indifferently.
Then popped out a rather special command module from his Mechanical Throne, which was about the size of a metal box. It kept changing shape in the air and finally stopped in front of Mason.
The information tab pops up:
Skrull of Eternity/Claibron Life Crystal
Quality: divine crafting material
Utility:
Claiborne is the last member of "Eternal Skrull" and the supreme **** worshiped by the current Skrull Empire. After a short but not violent conflict, its crystallization of life was taken by Brainiac Obtained and crafted as a Beacon of Psychic Awareness.
The user who holds this beacon will have the right to guide all Skrulls.
The crystal can be used as a material in the production process, and the resulting finished product will inherit all the power of the item.
hint!
The mind control of the Skrulls by this item is not compulsory, and the control method will be temporarily invalid when encountering a powerful psychic force collision, and the Skrulls with strong wills can also rely on themselves to get rid of the control of the Psychic Beacon.
hint!
Brainiac somehow enhanced the Psychic Beacon to perfect his control over the Skrulls, the item currently lacks an augmentation component.
Producer: Brainiac
Item description: You know that Skrulls can change in ever-changing ways and their camouflage is a fully bionic structure, right? And you already have a soul key that can manipulate their entire family. Where have I seen this plot? In short, remember to call me when you start YP.
"It's so nasty."
Mason expressed his disdain for today's item description.
But the effect of this thing is really good. When Mason raised his right hand towards Queen Skrull Vikram, the latter's body trembled and half knelt on the ground.
She still kept the hatred for Mason in her eyes, because the guy in front of her used a virus weapon to make her lose half of her clan in half an hour.
But the hatred at this time can no longer change the transfer of ownership. Unless Mason dies in the next moment, this "genocide butcher" will have to become their new owner.
"I have to ask you to rest now, guests."
Brainiac whispered:
"I still have some important things to deal with. Also, since the old Lord A has reached an agreement with me, for the sake of confidentiality, this world"
"We will stay in charge of finishing, Mr. Director."
Mason lowered his head, and said in a humble tone:
"Please rest assured, the members of the Stars Club are absolutely professional when it comes to destroying corpses and eradicating traces."
"That's good."
Brainiac laughed, and the mechanical door leaving the main control room on the left slid open quietly, representing the idea of "seeing off guests".
The three of Mason left here with the resentful Queen Skrull, and the mechanical throne under Brainiac also began to slowly deform at this moment, and soon unfolded into a device like an operating table.
In the isolation cabin that bounced up from below, the perfect Ultron has entered the shutdown procedure, just like an empty body waiting for consciousness to be poured.
"Well, the real journey will start now!"
Rao is Lao Bu who has been rational all his life, and he can't help getting excited now that what he longs for is about to come true.
His finger flicked down, and the moment his eyes closed, the mechanical tentacles that were connected to the back of his head at all times to control the Exile spaceship and Brainiac's Legion were actively disconnected.
Then there is a new mechanical interface extending from under the throne, and it is connected to Brainiac and Perfect Ultron at the same time.
As several red lights went out one by one, the consciousness transfer procedure started!
Under the protection of the stasis force field, which was strong enough to resist all attacks, Brainiac seemed to be asleep.
A huge amount of information and data was transferred from his exhausted brain to Perfect Ultron's body, but just after he entered this "deep sleep", the lights in the main control room of the exile spaceship suddenly turned on.
After a few strobes that looked like a mechanical failure, it returned to calm again.
—
Mason and his gang, who left the main control room, wanted to sneak into Brainiac's spaceship storage room, but just after turning two corners, they saw a decadent man in a yellow suit leaning against the mechanical cabin. the wall.
There are empty medicine bottles under his feet, and he is still holding a small bottle of strangely colored medicine in his hand and sending it to his mouth.
The blond hair hangs down in disorder to cover his cheeks, and his decadent appearance looks like a grown-up fellow Taoist. When he saw this guy, Mason's eyes suddenly changed.
He motioned for Harry and Jarcon to back out, but after the three of them took a few steps back, the man who drank the potion suddenly turned around, revealing his shimmering eyes under the cover of his messy hair.
He stared at Mason, crushed the medicine bottle in his hand, and said:
"He promised that if he squeezed you to death, he would help me get rid of this **** addiction. This thing is killing me."
"Sentinel, I thought you were Norman Osborn's loyal dog."
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Mason retorted and said:
"You really looked like a dog when you served the Green Goblin, and now you're an idiot wagging your tail at strangers when you switch to Brainiac.
There are always reasons for others to rebel.
But for you, maybe a bottle of pills is enough to make you sell everything you cherish, shameful addicts can’t get rid of the bad habit of eating **** even if they get the power of a million stars.”
"You're talking shit, man, but I have to admit you're pretty **** good."
A deep voice came from behind the three of them. Ares, the **** of war, and the White Queen, holding battle axes, appeared from left to right, blocking the way of the three of Mason. A venomous scorpion was climbing up above their heads, baring their teeth and claws.
"Brainiak didn't just make a deal with the Goblin, he made a deal with every single one of us, Mason Cooper."
The young version of the White Queen stretched her neck and let her white cloak sway behind her. She said:
"The Green Goblin always wants to have both sides, but unfortunately there is not much he can give us at this moment.
But he has a good saying, stand on the side of the winner! No matter how we look at it, we feel that you who took the initiative to send the Soul Gem cannot turn the tables. It just so happens that Brainiac placed a high bounty on your head.
The alien conquerors were unwilling to do it themselves, so they asked us to create an 'indigenous riot' to make your 'variable' disappear unexpectedly.
Sorry, baby.
You are actually quite in line with my aesthetics. "
"Always following the winner is an excellent strategy, but unfortunately, the idiots always have a problem understanding the word 'winner', their vision is too poor, everyone.
No wonder Doom doesn't like hanging out with you guys. "
Mason sighed.
He pushed the frame of the bridge of the nose, and at the moment when the impatient venom scorpion pounced on Harry, he shouted:
"Buttermoss, do it!"
"kuang"
A loud bang exploded in the center of the exile spaceship, and then there was the scream of Brainiac, who had always had the upper hand since his appearance, sounded from the main control room.
The mechanical tentacles that suddenly popped out from the bulkhead swept around and smashed the Venom Scorpion into the air. The bulkhead exploded and threw the Sentinel that had just taken off into the sky, and Zha Kang's control magic also entangled Ares in the next moment.
The White Queen only had time to convert her skin into a diamond defense, and the next moment she was knocked to the ground in the middle of her forehead by a flying black shadow.
She struggled.
But the mechanical tentacles extending from all around entangled her limbs and pulled her up and fixed her in the air. In the chaos, Mason, who put on the old Wan's battle helmet, walked towards the White Queen, and picked up the thunder-spattered forged sword from her feet. hammer.
In the background where the lights in the corridor continued to flicker crazily, Mason raised his hand to fix the neck of the struggling White Queen, raised the forging hammer in the other hand, and whispered:
"You still look more pleasing to the eye after twenty years."
"What the **** did you do?"
The White Queen in diamond form turned pale when she saw the sudden change in the situation before her. Mason shrugged, raised the forging hammer in his hand, and said:
"you guess?"
"boom"
