Chapter 633 99. Action Code · Killing Old K Beyond Fate
The old devil's answer seems to be full of contradictions, but it is actually not difficult to understand.
He clearly stated that he would not participate in the old A's actions, but then he explained the reason. In Mephisto's view, Mason will not give up his efforts to destroy the Stars Club. Whether there is old A will not affect this point. .
After he officially intervened in the fusion plan, his confrontation with Mason has been substantially put on the agenda, but this confrontation cannot be placed by the old devil in a place other than his own territory.
The decisive battle between Mason and Lord Fate will inevitably take place in some kind of hell.
That is Lao Mo's territory, where he has the best chance of winning.
However, the old devil doesn't mind other people participating in it to divert the pressure from Mason.
This is of course a situation that the chief arbitrator does not want to see.
"Are you joking?"
Fury scolded:
"Do you think Mason is really stupid enough to go to war with both of us at the same time? He is not a person who would take risks. Such a radical move is not in his interest, but he would not do it if he had any brains."
"Well said, of course he doesn't want to fall into the desperate situation of fighting on two fronts, but when will his will interfere with our thoughts? We are not dogs who rely on others to survive. The freedom to act according to our own ideas is the only way It is the most precious privilege a trapped person can have."
The old devil snorted and said:
"The more he is unwilling to do something, we have to let him do it. If he can't take care of both sides, he is doomed to be at a disadvantage and fail in a certain confrontation.
If he loses to you, he will die.
If he loses to me, he will die.
Look, does this do us any harm? "
"You are shifting the concept. When one side wins, one side must pay a heavy price."
Old A shook his head and said:
"Although I don't want to admit it, Mason's power has already been established. The concentration of his power is enough to cause a qualitative change. Your proposal is very good, but I will not become cannon fodder at your will."
"Tsk tsk tsk, when is this, and you still want to get out of your body?"
The old devil sneered and said:
"A greedy and naive fellow like you is going to be burned in hell, my dear Fury, you keep saying that you will stop Mason at all costs, but I don't see you ready to bleed and die .
Do you really think he is a character who can be dismissed casually?
In addition, since I dare to propose this plan, I must have my confidence. It is too easy to lure Mason to participate in two wars at the same time.
He himself is certainly wise enough and has learned that set of **** thinking with annoying Batman, which is enough for him to avoid most of the traps prepared for him.
But just because he is invulnerable does not mean that the people around him are also the same.
Friendship, family and even love.
Do you know why people who do big things can't have too many emotional bonds? Because that would create all kinds of weaknesses for a powerful person out of thin air.
Emotional release, that's unhealthy. "
Mephisto raised his hand, and a rather unique candle appeared in his palm.
The candle seems to be no longer burning, but looking closely, there are still beating sparks at the wick, which seems to be the last struggle that does not want to be annihilated.
"I've got something hidden."
He said to the staring old A:
“When I first hid it, I was essentially thinking of making it a collection, and I didn’t expect it to be really used one day, but now it seems that it’s not a bad thing to hide more good things.
When you need help the most, these babies prepared in advance will not let you down, how about it? With this thing, you can always rest assured now, right?
Little Mason will be baited.
Especially after he knows that the garden world under the council has fallen into my hands, he will know that there is not much time left for him.
And when he decided to give it a go, you gave him a little 'old A shock', so a difficult choice was placed in front of the savior.
These are the most beautiful things in the world, which one do you think he will choose?
Gee, choice, a key that everyone wants and thinks is a good thing but is actually full of endless torture. The more choices you have, the more pain you will have.
Because you choose one, you are doomed to lose the other.
The more choices, the more you lose.
So the most common way we devils use to seduce others is to give victims enough choices to make them think that they have the initiative and step into the trap step by step in the illusion that they can dominate their lives.
Until the brutal reveal of the last moment
pain!
The difficulty of choice and the pain of loss will overwhelm them, let me harvest a delicious soul. "
"Snapped"
The old devil threw the thing in his hand to old A. The moment the latter held it in his hand, he felt a slight pain in his fingers. He looked down, and a drop of blood gushed out from his fingertips.
This made Fury's complexion change drastically.
But then in the rising of scorching breath, a pattern quietly appeared on his arm.
The black lines outline the hideousness of the devil's head. Its back-growing wings and thin and distorted body lines form a circle, which finally forms the member logo of the Stars Club under the gaze of old A.
The old devil who laughed so wickedly that he was like a fox who had stolen the cause dissipated in front of his eyes like smoke, and appeared behind Fury in the next moment. He put his hands on Fury's shoulders, just as he did when he appeared on the stage just now.
He whispered in Fury's ear:
"It was not easy for you to let your guard down, but I did it in the end. Then, Nicholas Joseph Fury. Welcome to the Stars Club. The place I left for Mason belongs to you, my dear hidden master."
"You fool me!"
Old A clenched his fists tightly, but the moment he swung his fist, he heard the old devil say faintly:
"Only so we can trust each other! You know it has to, like I just said, you think you have a choice but you don't.
It's not a bad thing, you mean you don't have much to lose.
Think about the bright side, even if the Star of the End you have been preparing for fails, you won’t have nowhere to go, and I will take you into the next era after I transcend.
If you wish, I can entrust you with the entire nascent universe.
Of course, that's for later.
Now, let's talk about the details, which have to be polished to perfection in order to trap a crafty little guy like Mason.
Let me tell you in a whisper, I planted a poisonous thorn in the heart of the Mason camp before we started.
See blood seal throat, highly poisonous thing.
Maybe this will make you happier? "

"Mason, an unfamiliar message came from the garden world under the council. I can't track it backwards, but this message is for you."
In the early morning of the second day after the enjoyable and delightful Gordon House dinner, on the sofa in the office on the top floor of the Afterlife Bar, Mason had just opened his eyes from a three-hour rest when he saw Barbara's holographic projection on the Lights up in the office.
Batgirl should already be planning to go on vacation with the young master. It's really hard for her to continue working while packing up. Of course, she has to finish this morning's combat meeting before going on vacation.
Mason manipulated the water body to finish washing and waking up. Wearing a nightgown, he opened the transferred information and formed a projection in text in front of him.
Just a glance made the captain's face serious.
This message was sent by Dr. Halsey of the tenth sequence of the conquerors, explaining their new discoveries to Mason, and it also represented the deterioration of the situation.
Half an hour later, in the commercial meeting room on the top floor of the Afterlife Bar, all members of the K team had arrived, and even the three leaders of the ultimate K team participated in the meeting in the form of magic avatars or projections.
Before the kiteman sent the assembly news to everyone, he emphasized that this may be the last operation of the K team, so the meeting room at this time was full of a different atmosphere.
Mason stood in front of the long table, looking at the people sitting or standing in front of him, his expression was not relaxed.
"There is sudden bad news."
The captain put his hands on the table and said to everyone who looked at him:
"Our friends in the Conqueror Sequence relayed a real message that a batch of secret materials was sent to many garden worlds under the council last night.
It has been confirmed that it is an item with **** divinity and has been distributed.
Hopefully, the council will start to fully promote the process of Mephisto's detachment.
After getting so much conceptual feedback from Garden World, Lord Fate will finish his 'Butterfly from Cocoon' at a faster speed, it seems that our success has indeed put a lot of pressure on the council to make them already Reckless counterattack.
This also means that we must act. "
Mason flicked his watch, and a battle plan drawn up by him was sent to each member's personal terminal. The name of the plan was quite concise, it was called "Beyond Fate".
The meaning is self-explanatory.
"In the first stage, first determine the location of Mephisto's lair, in the second stage, break into it and kill him, and in the third stage, announce that the stars will disband."
Mason says:
"The plan itself is very simple, there is nothing to say, the specific steps are all in the document, you can check it yourself, I have assigned tasks and timetables to each team, and the official action will start five days after the preliminary preparations are completed.
Now the main problem is external.
From the actions of Garden World, we can see that we hope that the council will not sit back and watch us make smooth progress, so we must be prepared to face them.
But I am not going to negotiate with them, I am going to create some trouble for them, starting with the sequence of conquerors, a violent organization under their command.
We have friends among them, maybe more than one, I will be responsible for contacting them privately to see if I can instigate rebellion, at least let them remain neutral.
We have Utopia's bounty in hand, which means we can focus on the First Order of the Conquerors, dismantling their power to intimidate the Council and buy time for our actions in Hell. "
"Old A! How does he deal with it?"
Having changed into loose clothes for going out on vacation, Barbara, who had a suitcase at hand, raised her hand and said:
"Now everyone knows that you and old A have an agreement on impact. Do you think he will honestly accept the bet? If he is not willing, doesn't that mean that we may have to fight on two or even three fronts? "
"There is indeed a risk."
Mason did not hide the situation, he rubbed his chin and said to everyone:
"I will contact him first to see if I can stabilize them first, which means that I may not be able to participate in the early actions on the side of Lord Fate.
But I will start a secret project that has been secretly prepared for a while, which will take a lot of pressure off you.
The first phase of Operation Beyond Fate is led by Zha Kang and Ertong. If things really enter into a situation where two fronts must be fought, I will be in charge of the old A side alone, and will not add more pressure to you.
But you don't have to worry. "
The captain said seriously:
"Even if we really want to fight on two fronts, we are not without advantages.
Actually, this plan seems to be unfavorable to us, but if we can complete operations and win on two battlefields at the same time, it will mean that the mission of Team K will end early.
This is the last battle in the true sense, brothers and sisters of the K team.
Our not-so-long but definitely rich story will end after this battle, I don't know about you guys, but personally, it will be a moment of relief from this ordeal. "
"Your mentality is unacceptable."
Zha Kang complained:
"This **** is like saying your last words in advance."
"Shut up!"
Charles next to him gave him a punch, and the others also glared at the male mage. Seeing that he had committed public outrage, Zha Kang could only chuckle twice and stop talking.
But he made eye contact with Mason.
Signaled Mason not to forget about the Fort of Stars. The information about those candles is still kept secret, but it cannot be concealed forever. This thing is a time bomb.
Once detonated at an unfavorable moment, everyone involved in it will definitely be blown to pieces.
Mason nodded inaudibly, indicating that he has not forgotten this hidden danger.
But he did not mention this matter in this meeting. In the next 20 minutes, the captain went through the plan outline in the document to confirm that each team had understood their mission and had a plan of action. Afterwards, he declared the meeting adjourned.
Mason glanced at the time and said to the others:
"Now, everyone can go to enjoy a rare vacation and visit the new world that we personally promote and shape, but please don't go to the dangerous area so as not to be able to return in time after five days.
The members of the Ultimate K team stay here, I have something else to tell you, and the rest of the meeting can be dismissed. "
The sound of chairs colliding with the ground suddenly sounded in the meeting room. Team members like Barbara who had planned a vacation had already dragged their suitcases and left humming. Then flirt with the android girls and things like that.
The kiteman is going to pick up the children from school and send Selena, who has begun to suffer from mild morning sickness, back to Wayne Manor to recuperate.
The Kryptonian trio left together as usual, Zod and Kara were talking, and Bizarro, who had regained his sanity under the influence of blue kryptonite, was still happy to be a light bulb beside him.
And everyone in the Junior K team made an appointment to go to the fox's nest to visit everyone in the Stark Legion, and take a look at the situation of Tony Seven, but Damian didn't go.
Little lunatic has an appointment today.
I want to explore the world of vampires with my female friend who always wears a cloak and looks very silent. It is right to go out for a trip to relax, and bring some gifts for my second brother by the way.
Mason is also pleased to see that his team members have their own lives, which means that they can quickly return to the center of life after the K team is disbanded.
"What are you going to say when you leave us?"
Hei Qiqi asked indifferently, this boss is still recovering from his injuries, and his magic avatar seems a little out of breath.
"A very important thing."
Mason withdrew his gaze and looked at the three bosses. He moved his fingers and said:
"I would like to ask you to devote part of your energy to finding the base world of the Council of Hope while preparing to attack the old devil's stronghold. That place is kept quite secret, but if the war from the outside world continues to reach their homeland, what do they think? It will always bring some things that shouldn't be on the sidelines.
Make them aware of the real situation, so that they can make a choice. "
"What happens after you find it?"
Frogtu did not deny the request, the former Observer asked:
"And what are you going to do with that world?"
"It will not be destruction, please rest assured."
Mason got up and said:
"That world itself is innocent, and it should also be integrated into the new star sea, that is its right. But everything should have a beginning and an end, just like the end of the dark age, there should be a relatively satisfactory ending .
We want to leave behind a pure new world, and let these ashes of the old age go with the wind. "
"Are you really not going to let anyone go?"
Hei Qiyi snorted, got up and said:
"Want to know what answer I got at Black Apple?"
"I've always been curious."
Mason blinked and looked at the boss.
Hei Qiqi also looked at him, and after a few seconds of silence, said:
"A new world will come, but I don't see you in it"
Mason froze for a moment.
Then he smiled and said:
"But it's not such a bad thing, is it?"
