Chapter 429 44. A day trip to Asgard
Regarding Mason's statement, Hei Qiqi was noncommittal.
Equal contact is obviously not the ending that this powerful spellcaster wants. As a fierce man who personally destroyed the plane world and walked the dark road, his understanding of cooperation obviously has other connotations.
In a nutshell, he has to listen to everything. Mason has the right to make suggestions but cannot bypass him to make decisions.
He has been waiting for Mason to take the initiative to ask for help to implement this plan, but it turns out that Mason can indeed accomplish incredible things without his intervention.
This made Heiqiqi have to reconsider the terms of cooperation.
The two parties have no common interests at all.
For Hei Qiqi, all he wants is a chance to try, and if it doesn’t work, he won’t be too disappointed, after all, he has failed too many times before.
But Mason has staked all his wealth and the existence of his compatriots and companions to advance his plan.
This is a win-or-die adventure. I would rather not have strong foreign aid than invite an uncontrolled factor to stay in my camp.
After several minutes of confrontation and silence between the two sides, Hei Qiqi nodded, took the initiative to take a step back and said:
"You have proved your ability and strength. For this incredible victory, I am willing to settle for the next best thing. But I also have my requirements. You cannot abuse my power unless you are willing to obey me.
you know what I mean. "
"I know."
Mason stood up, nodded and said:
"We invite you here as a backer and a hidden trump card for the higher-ups. Naturally, it is impossible to let you show your face casually. You will only be invited to come out in critical moments.
Stephen, you have read all our research and conjectures on the shock event, so I would like to ask, based on your knowledge, do you think that after the world fusion I planned enters the second stage, there will be two upcoming What about the meddling of those cosmic level existences in the colliding planes? "
"You are just a hypothesis, except that Utopia conducted an experiment that advanced to the second stage, all conjectures are based on theory."
Hei Qiqi shook his head and said:
"The three shocks this world encountered were all terminated by me when they were just brewing. I can indeed feel the force of the collision and extrusion of planes, but I can't give you an accurate answer for things that haven't happened yet. .
But if you are curious about the attitudes of those cosmic forces, why not ask them in person?
Thor is preparing to return to Asgard"
Hei Qiqi pointed to the outside and said:
"You can walk with him and ask God King Odin what he thinks about this."
"Hmm, good advice."
Mason nodded and took Harley to leave. The moment he stepped out of the dark field, he saw the Hulk of the Wasteland being beaten on the ground by the King Hulk.
The spectators around were still wearing bandages and miserable, but they encouraged and cheered for the Hulk civil war, especially those members of the "Hulk Army" who followed King Hulk to make a big fuss.
Facts have proved that the accumulation of anger caused by Papa Banner's indulgence of the Hulk for seventeen years is useless in the face of an enhanced version of the Hulk gladiator who fights with brains and tactics.
No matter how powerful the punch of Heartbroken Hulk is, it can't hurt the world smasher who is skilled in combat. On the other hand, King Hulk repeatedly punches Heartbroken Hulk's head with his own understanding of his own strength.
He used this "physical calmness" method to forcibly wake up Bruce Banner from his deep sleep expecting death.
Rao is that Frustrated Hulk accumulates anger and strengthens himself faster than King Hulk, but it is like a mighty and experienced hunter dealing with a dangerous beast. After nearly ten minutes of fighting, Frustrated Hulk is finally defeated. Come down.
After being hit on the forehead by King Hulk with a shield more than a dozen times in a row, he let out a painful roar in a daze, and returned to the "Fire Cloud Cthulhu" posture of Papa Banner while rapidly shrinking in size.
"Damn it! You idiot! Can't you see another self that wants to die?"
The irascible old man in tattered clothes got up and yelled at King Hulk:
"Can't you satisfy the desire of another self? Can't you see that every day of my life is suffering? Give me a knife! How hard can it be to give me a knife in the head?"
"The Hulk will fail, but the Hulk will not be so cowardly that he commits suicide. There is no honor in killing you here."
King Hulk snorted disdainfully. Amidst the cheers of his Hulk army, he put on a red shirt and waved to the emaciated old Banner behind him:
"If you feel pain, go to atone!
Death cannot take away shame, you are the saddest of all the Hulks, a twisted thing shaped by despair and darkness, so sad that I don't even want to give you a happy one.
The death you pursue is not with me, continue to suffer! "
He strode out of the crowd, and glanced at Mason who took out the magic bottle and was about to take back Papa Banner. The King Hulk with the fighter crown on his head stared at Mason and said:
"Gao Tianzun told me about the shock before his neck was pinched, he said in a daze that the established dark fate would have waves, maybe he was referring to you.
I no longer belong to the earth, but I hope my new home will be stable for a long time.”
"Then you are thinking too much, Your Majesty Hulk."
Mason pushed the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose and said:
"When the fourth shock comes, you will know that staying away from the earth will not get you out of the crisis, but I will leave you a communication device.
When you or I need help, we can communicate with each other.
After all, who wouldn’t want their faction to have the invincible King Hulk as the front line when they step onto the battlefield? "
"snort."
King Hulk didn't care about this, but he still accepted the communication linker from Mason, and brought his Hulk army back to their spaceship to prepare to leave.
He didn't even say goodbye to any of his former friends.
Obviously, it is true that he no longer has any nostalgia for the earth. It is estimated that he was heartbroken when he was exiled by the members of the Illuminati. A world that does not love him does not have much to commemorate even if it is called his hometown.
"It's a pity, Papa Banner, it seems that you have to keep looking for those who can kill you."
Mason walked up to the frustrated Hulk who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, handed him a pair of reading glasses, and said:
"Don't worry, we face many challenges, you can always find a guy who is strong enough and cold enough to give you the death you expect.
Want to sleep and rest now? "
"Whatever! You villain!"
Papa Banner gave Mason a hard look, but he didn't resist allowing Mason to recycle himself into the magic bottle maintained by Pym particles, and he was put into Mason's arms like a figure.
The Scarlet Witch zombie released before has been recovered with the help of the shock team. Lawyer Ma who was possessed by the beast ran away, but Mason was not disappointed. He did not intend to keep Lawyer Ma as a long-term collection.
"You want to go to Asgard with me? No problem! My dad probably also wants to meet a guest from another world like you."
A few minutes later, Thor, who was drinking heavily with a large glass of wine, turned his head and looked at Mason drunkenly.
This guy still has all kinds of bruises and traces of embarrassment after the battle, but a difficult victory is even more precious, and when he has the feeling of comrades in arms, Thor didn't hesitate too much when facing Mason's request.
He drank the cosmic special brew in his hand in one gulp, glanced back at the unlucky Thanos who was being taken care of by Nebula, and finally waved goodbye to the heroes and friends not far away.
"Heimdall! Take me back!"
Thor held Thor's Hammer in his hand and shouted, and in the next moment, colorful lights descended from the sky, covering Thor and Mason and Harley beside him, and then disappeared in an instant.
A few seconds later, Zhakang suddenly rushed out of the ruins. Behind him, who was disheveled, was followed by Miss Crystal, a foreign princess with a peachy face and weak hands and feet.
Obviously these two guys didn't know how to see each other, so they had a friendly cannonball in the ruins after the war.
The quicksilver in this world has become a zombie, and Princess Crystal is doomed to be a widow, so a heart-to-body contact with a foreign visitor is nothing.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
Zarcon grabbed his belt and stood on the rune rune left when the Rainbow Bridge opened on the ground, shouting towards the sky:
"I haven't got in the car, hey! You go to Asgard to hang out without me? Bastard! Mason! Did you hear that? You are a big bastard!"
—
"嗡"
The mysterious Rainbow Bridge spans the Nine Realms in an instant, bringing Thor and the guests into the realm of the Asgardians.
Mason, who stepped out of the revolving and shining light gate, saw General Heimdall, the gatekeeper of God's Domain holding a rainbow sword in front of him at a glance.
The latter's amber eyes stared at him and Harry, who was curious about everything beside him.
He whispered in a solemn tone:
As for you, Prince Thor.
Days later, Frigga was very dissatisfied with your leaving without saying goodbye, so you missed your engagement ceremony with Sif. Two angry ladies are waiting for you in the Rune Tower.
You'd better change your clothes and wash off your fatigue before going there. "
At first, Tolton, who was still happy because he returned from victory, suddenly lost his face, but soon this handsome and smart guy rolled his eyes, pointed to Harley who was looking left and right, and said:
"This honored guest is coming to Asgard for the first time. As the prince of God's Domain, I should take her to visit our world. Please tell my mother.
After completing the diplomatic mission of the royal family, I will go to the Rune Tower to confess to her, and little Sif. She will always forgive me, because I love her and she loves me. "
Afterwards, Thor winked at Mason, raised Thor's Hammer, grabbed Harry's wrist, and flew out.
"Sweetie! I'll be right back after I go shopping! Don't worry about me!"
Halley's sharp voice echoed in the glorious stream of the Rainbow Bridge, and she shouted:
"I will bring gifts for others~"
Mason shrugged his shoulders, thinking Thor would watch Harley and nothing would happen in Asgard, so accompanied by Heimdall, he sat in Asgard's advanced and retro chasing car. The Sky Fighter quickly crossed the ocean that enveloped the God's Domain and entered the Golden Palace.
Odin in this plane world is already waiting for him.
It can be seen that the King of Gods attaches great importance to this meeting.
The entire Golden Palace hall has been cleared and there are no other spectators here, but Heimdall personally guards the door with a rainbow sword in hand to ensure that this conversation will not be overheard by anyone.
"Salute to you, His Majesty Odin."
Mason was the first time to see a big person of this level. He walked on the luxurious carpet and bowed to Odin who was sitting on the throne of the king of gods.
The image of the latter is not much different from the God King in Mason's memory, sitting on a throne decorated with golden snakes, holding a majestic spear of judgment.
Two ravens stayed on both sides of the throne, staring at the guests in front of them with curious eyes.
The one-eyed Odin didn't answer immediately, he looked down at Mason, and after a few seconds, he said:
"Brainiak once contacted me. He promised God's Domain a lot of benefits in exchange for his uninterrupted actions in Midgard. From him, I got a lot of information about the outside world.
And before that, I already had a premonition of the dark tremor of the universe.
is what you call a 'shock' event
Let me ask you, Mason Cooper, how much do you know about "Godhead" and "Divine Power"? "
"Not much, but I know it tastes good."
Mason gave a surprising answer.
This can't be done directly to Odin. It is probably the first time he has heard someone comment on the power of the gods like this, but the king of gods is the king of gods. He quickly realized that Mason was referring to the black body attached to him. The devouring of divine power by the fragments of the dead sword.
This made Odin reveal a smile.
He thought the young man in front of him was very interesting, and he didn't shy away from the fact that he had a weapon that could hurt him, although the king of gods didn't care about the small piece of the black death sword that was sleeping.
He didn't play sloppy or change the subject, and explained to Mason straightforwardly:
"There are countless Odins in countless worlds, not all of them live in the Golden Palace, and not every king of the gods can sit in a domain like Asgard.
But we are connected, Mason.
Divinity is a net.
It allows every Odin in the countless planes to feel each other, each other's joy, each other's loss and each other's death.
And at the necessary moment, when we decide to step into the next stage, the existence of Godhead can make all Odin become one, without interference from planes and worlds.
This is a secret belonging to the gods.
I think it can answer a certain doubt in your heart, about the godhead devil who cursed you. What you have to face is not a Mephisto, but a combination of all Mephistos in all parallel worlds.
It went further than I did.
It has already taken that step, but it has not been able to reach the end or become the 'only'. It needs more divinity to help it complete detachment and integration. "
Having said that, Odin stopped, and the king of the gods with a handsome white beard said meaningfully to Mason:
"You don't have much time left.
Once Mephisto is detached, it cannot be killed again. Just as Brainiac had his own plan when facing the change of the era, Mephisto also had his own plan.
I heard about Stellaris from Brainiac.
I can tell you frankly that once Mephisto takes the last step, those of you who have been given devil tattoos will all become the 'price'.
Well, ignite the divine fire, temper the godhead, and transcend all things.
The world is no longer the foundation of existence, and eternity is independent of the sacred timeline, and even the change of eras can no longer affect it. "
Mason's mind was running fast, and he recorded this important news. Then he raised his head, looked at Odin, and asked:
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you also have your own plan, a plan that is different from everyone else's."
Odin stroked his beard, and said bluntly:
"You are resisting it and it is very effective. Other Odins use your words. My space-time aliens are connected through the network of divine power to let me see what you are doing in other worlds.
You are unwilling to sacrifice other living beings.
This means that your career will be difficult.
But because of this, I don't have to worry about you giving away my plane as a price.
The dark tremors of the universe are accelerating, and the end of the era is not far away. I have no intention to ensure that Asgard will last forever. I know that any dynasty will collapse.
But if we want to choose a path when the end comes, then the plan you gave may be a choice that is more in line with the interests of the King of the Nine Realms.
I'm getting old, Mason.
I am so lucky in this world.
I didn’t personally experience family conflicts and human relations tragedies, my wife is still by my side, and although my son is incompetent, it is expected that he will take over as the King of the Nine Realms.
He will choose a way out for his kingdom, and so far, he trusts you. "
"I am deeply honored by this, Your Majesty."
Mason nodded, and then he asked the question he was worried about, and he said:
“If I want to fuse the earth of my own plane with another earth, the two colliding parallel planes cannot complete pressure release and mutual repulsion by sacrificing the earth.
Under the circumstances that it is very likely that the two planes will perish together, will the big shots in this plane let me do anything? "
"Of course they will."
Odin waved his hand and said:
"After all, your actions are very dangerous and you are not sure that you can successfully complete the fusion. It is impossible for them to put their lives on your adventure.
They will do their best to ensure that the two planes of the earth collide and destroy, in exchange for the last period of stability leading to the end of the era, and call it a 'great and necessary sacrifice'.
Not everyone has the same courage to face the end as you.
Even those who call themselves 'gods' will choose to bow their heads in the face of death, but at least in this plane, you don't have to worry about this problem.
Mason Cooper, a visitor from a foreign land. "
The King of the Nine Realms pointed the gun of judgment in his hand on the ground. Amid the low and shocking echo, he said in a deep voice:
"Midgard is the territory of the Nine Realms!
It is one of the vassal states of Asgard. I will not sacrifice my subjects in exchange for an illusory lingering life. If the end is inevitable, the Asgardians will also go forward bravely.
Go ahead and do it! Mason.
If other people have opinions, they can ask me first.
at last.
Mason, not all the legendary gods are your enemies, remember this piece of advice, you may need it later. "
