Chapter 665 32. My daughter, your whole life is a joke
On the planet rich in Compound No. 5, in the huge crater that was still being annihilated due to the out-of-control power of the Phoenix, Mason, standing in the dark phoenix flame, glanced at his hand.
The body that has been flickering like a lack of energy since just now is regaining its stability, and the most dangerous link in the vicious time attack has passed.
Obviously the speedsters had protected him on the battlefield in the past, so that Kang the Conqueror's fateful surprise attack on him failed.
Another death trap set by old A was cracked, and the stability of the past was like shaping the foundation of a building, firmly and silently supporting the captain to push his story to the end at this moment.
In front of his eyes, Madeleine's burning body was still firmly bound.
Those eyes that were beating with flames reflected chaotic light. With the help of the brainwave booster repeater inside the active power armor of the universe, Emma the White Queen had already entered Madeleine's chaotic mind at this time.
This is not good news.
Because after losing Madeleine's will to dominate, the dark phoenix's chaotic power is no longer under control. It is gradually controlling the body that fits it perfectly and trying to entangle Madeleine from the psychic power. Pulled out from the network, in order to complete the final arrival of the Dark Phoenix in this world.
"Emma, hurry up."
Mason took a look at the declining shield value of the MAX-level energy matrix of the main processor of the Star Emperor's Heart on the Active Power Armor of the Universe, estimated the time it would take, and then urged.
"I've found her!"
The White Queen responded:
"The flow of time in the spiritual world is much slower than the outside world. This family conflict that has troubled you for a long time should be resolved today. I will help you solve it, son."
"I think you are thinking about a rather dangerous plan now, but whatever you want, I will continue to suppress the Black Phoenix, but you must withdraw your consciousness after three minutes.
Its energy level has been raised to the point where it cannot be blocked, which is enough to tear the world apart and send Ciri and me to safety.
Old A's trap is over! "
Mason reminded that the black phoenix who was bound in front of him seemed to have a premonition of the crisis of being used.
In her fury, she carried out a more resolute and crazy offensive, and the dark phoenix fire was transformed into swirling dark spots of light, which were energy entering the ion state, and each drop was enough to wipe out a city.
During the near-zero-distance bombing, all of them were hit on Mason's body. His offensive further increased the load on the Star Emperor's Heart processor installed on the power plus, and even the core fire beat more violently.
The ghostly wild phoenix also seems to have foreseen that the tragic life of the black phoenix is coming to an end. It drives the cunning gods back in the peripheral battle, and then turns back with a flame and rushes into the destructive annihilation force field. He hid in Mason's power armor protection matrix in a stern posture, and got as close as possible to Madeleine to continue to devour the burning flames on her body.
It’s rare to see such a legitimate opportunity to add meals. Although I’m already very full, if I don’t hurry up and eat more, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance in the future.
"Ciri, get Gollum ready."
Mason reminded Lord Hunter in the disturbed communication, and Ciri asked in a surprised echo during the fierce battle:
"What are you going to do? Throw her into Madeleine's side? This level of material annihilation will melt Gollum in an instant! Kryptonians can't stand that kind of environment."
"No."
The captain opened the storage compartment of the main power armor of the universe, clasped something in his hand, stared at the chaotic burning eyes in front of him, and stretched out his hand to clasp Black Phoenix's chin.
When the latter opened his mouth to spit out annihilating flames, he stuffed the object into her mouth and forced her to swallow it.
He corrected:
"I mean, getting Gollum ready to say goodbye to her friends, even life as a queen is a little more ritualistic, right?"
—
"I have imagined what the spiritual world of Dark Phoenix is like, but this is a bit too exaggerated, right?"
The White Queen frowned as soon as she entered Madeleine's mind. When the figure woven by her strengthened spiritual power appeared, Emma looked up at the burning world in front of her.
In the reflection of the flames in the sky, one can vaguely see the impact of another world.
The surrounding area should be a complete picture of a block, but at this time it has been turned into desolate ruins in the blazing doomsday scene, only a white house in front of it is still intact.
"She's hiding in there."
Emma moved her fingers and said softly:
"The power of the Black Phoenix acts on matter and consciousness at the same time, destroying her sanity while destroying the outside world. This is the only fragment in her memory that is still intact, and it is a moment of great significance to her.
I guess, the image of Madeleine when her foster world was destroyed by the impact.
The child’s life also took a fork in the road at this time. One day she was a carefree little girl, and the next day she would be sent to Utopia to meet the darkest moment of life.
This is her destiny node.
Like that night in Gotham City when my Mason got hit by that **** bottle, he'd always tell me that **** story. "
Emma, who was wearing the classic White Queen's battle suit, walked forward. There was not much hindering force in the hiding place left for Madeleine's last sanity. After opening the door, she could see the panoramic view of the house.
The simple, everyday but warm internal structure is in sharp contrast to the catastrophe of the outside world. It seems that two completely different destinies have been shaped by a wall.
She locked herself here, like a "doomsday shelter" built for herself.
"Madeleine? Are you there?"
Emma called out.
Then the door was pushed open, and the pale Red Queen appeared in front of her. It was not as vicious and chaotic as the outside world, but the flickering light in her eyes meant that she had already guessed her own ending.
"Mason, let her listen."
The White Queen called out, and the captain of the outside world stretched out his hand and flicked it by his side, turned on the playback device of the power armor of the outer universe, and played the words that Bastion said before into Madeleine's heart In the book, without any embellishment, the desperate plan of the Supreme Beast before its death and Dum's arrangement for Madeleine are clearly stated.
But the Red Queen's expression didn't change much.
She's not an idiot.
In fact, when she absorbed four phoenix fragments and confronted the supreme professor, she already knew that she could not escape the cruel future of becoming a black phoenix.
"Release Gollum! I have come this far because of her, my only friend."
She didn't hide anything, and tried to maintain the last decency and calmness and said to Emma in front of her:
"If your son hadn't disturbed the situation that day, I would have been buried with Utopia. Ling Dan had the Utopia Cradle Project in his mind, and I was a mind-manipulating mutant.
I knew the truth when I killed him.
I was going to die there!
In the name of revenge, I died with the professor. I know that my people will be free in the end, so I have no worries about the future.
Mason, he shouldn't have meddled. "
"That's not just my son, it's also your brother. Besides, if this is your complete revenge plan, it's too stupid! How could I give birth to such a stupid daughter like you?"
The White Queen shook her head and said:
"It was you who pushed yourself to this point after a series of wrong decisions. Mason did nothing wrong in this matter. I guess you regretted it when Compound No. 5 was injected into your body.
It was never strength that was needed to fight the Phoenix Force, and when your brother tried to help you at my unreasonable begging, you turned to the wrong person for help.
But... I'm not here to argue with you about this. "
Emma looked at Madeleine.
This is the first time she has really seen this girl who also has her own genes in her body. Drawing on the relationship between Mason and her, the Madeleine in front of her is undoubtedly her daughter.
"Your best friend Gulu is outside, Mason brought her here, the only request she chooses to serve your brother is to save you.
You are lucky in this regard.
Your life may be gloomy, but your friendship is real.
I'm here to help you. Your brother is willing to give you one last chance. I can remotely back up your consciousness into the brainwave enhancement machine.
The premise is that you do so voluntarily. "
"You lost your parents here, right?"
"I tried my best to save them and the community I grew up in, but I couldn't do it. My power awakened under the pressure of the doomsday.
But that is not a mighty force that can turn everything around. "
Madeleine has no malice towards Emma, she knows the relationship between the woman in front of her and her.
But when Mason met Emma for the first time, the mere genetic level or blood connection was not enough for two strangers to become relatives or form a family.
She looked around the room with mixed emotions, and said to Emma in this place where memories are made:
"This is the end of light and the beginning of darkness. After possessing the power of the phoenix, I once wanted to send myself back here, wanting to leave behind the only good things that have disappeared in my short and bad life.
But I can't.
I can't hide myself in my own memories and become a coward. After they sent me to the first sequence of conquerors, those compatriots who had the same experience as me needed me more.
They need a leader.
They chose me.
I try my best to do my best, and hope that my tragedy will not happen to other compatriots.
But unfortunately, I don't have Mason's wisdom and luck. I can't make those wonderful plans, and I don't have a way to fight those malicious things, let alone an ideal that is so grand that I hope to reverse the dark age.
I admit that I am a loser.
Whether it is to be a leader, or a friend, or even to be a good person, I have failed miserably in these attempts.
I really wanted to ask him to stand beside me, the son Mason who makes you proud, I can see in your eyes that he is the perfect heir in your heart.
After hearing his story and what he went through, I knew Mason was the man my fellow countrymen needed. "
Here, Madeleine stripped of all external identities and returned to her pure self, no longer denying her mistakes, perhaps because Mason is not here so that she can be more honest.
She turned her head to look at Emma, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Everything I told him when I first met him was true. Apart from the mind control part, I had no friends other than Gollum, and it was hard for me to learn to be right in the environment I grew up in. expression of goodwill.
Sorry for trying to kill your son, I always have a hard time controlling my emotions when the Phoenix Force is in effect.
But I thought, there's no point in saying that now, my story is coming to an end and Mason has chosen an ending for me.
I have no other option but to accept.
I appreciate your kindness.
Even after I hurt your family, you are still willing to help me.
However, it is no longer necessary.
The addition of Compound No. 5 has deepened the fusion between the Phoenix Force and me. The residence you see is my last sanity, and it has been locked by the Black Phoenix.
I can't escape.
It won't allow me to leave, it needs a host to exert its full destructive power.
If you guys want to help me, kill me. "
This remark made Emma silent for a moment, and she said:
"I thought it would be difficult to convince you, but I didn't expect you to know everything. You are really sensible and sober. If you were so honest when you and your brother first met, then things might not have come to this point .
But you got one thing wrong.
Except for Gollum, you are not without friends. Although the mutants of the first sequence did not talk to Mason in advance, I guessed their thoughts.
Right now, they are fighting in hell.
It seems that the elite group is for the great goal called the future, but under the decisive action, they also hope to use this sacrifice to ask Mason to forgive you.
Madeleine, you have done a pretty good job as a leader, because your protection and leadership of them made them willing to obey you and make sacrifices to save you.
They remember you, and still call you the Commander.
What you have done for your people will not be forgotten.
Even if Mason is placed in your position, he may not be able to do better than you. That kind of collective hatred will not be diluted and given up just because of one or two people.
Professor Supreme's choice at the last moment proves that he also knows that only the fall of Utopia can ease the past hatred.
In this matter, you did nothing wrong.
Your only mistake is that you should have trusted your family more, he has been trying to get close to you, and you have been stubbornly pushing him away, maybe because he didn't save you when you needed it most like he saved others.
But you know it's not his fault. "
She took a step forward, and when she got close to Madeleine, she could feel the heart-burning power emanating from this will, which was the erosion of the black phoenix, but Emma did not retreat.
Under Madeleine's hesitant gaze, she reached out to hold the girl's cold hand, and she said:
"This is our first meeting and the last time.
I don't want Mason to complete your execution with his own hands. It will have an irreparable impact on his sentimental heart, like a knife stabbing into his heart. That is mutual harm that should not exist among family members.
I will help you end this pain of solitude, my daughter, by allowing you to die as Madeleine Pryor, but perhaps before you go, you should see your friend again.
Sorry, kid.
When you needed it most, I couldn't be by your side either.
But I promise, I will stay here with you until the end. You did do many things wrong, but maybe at the last moment, you can tell Mason what you want to tell him.
Go, at this moment, there is no need to hide your vulnerability, he will not laugh at you.
Go, I will protect your 'sanctuary' here and wait for your return. "
Emma's words kept Madeleine silent for a few seconds, then she sighed and said to the lady in front of her:
"Thank you, Emma, you are a nice person."
"I'm not, at least not before I met Mason."
Emma smiled, endured the burning of the black phoenix, and reached out to touch Madeleine's hair.
She kissed her daughter on the forehead, then stretched out her hand to push, and forcibly tore open the power restraint of the black phoenix in the burst of psychic power of the brainwave enhancement machine, allowing Madeleine to return her last sanity to her body.
At the same time, Mason also let go of his hand outside. He watched the annihilation energy of everything withering in front of him being suppressed and recycled into Madeleine's body at this moment.
The flames in those chaotic eyes were also extinguished at this moment, and she looked at Mason who bounced off the visor in front of her with very complicated eyes.
The gray-blue lips moved, and said softly:
"I'm sorry, Mason, I'm sorry that my presence must have bothered you."
"You should have told her."
Mason pointed behind him, and when Madeleine turned around, she saw Ciri flashing over with Gollum.
Falled into this vacant place amidst the remnants of the dangerous power, and the Iron-Blooded Fallen uncovered his mask, so that the ferocious face could no longer hide his worries and concerns.
"Gulu. (little girl, are you okay?
She yelled, and the next moment, Madeleine threw herself into Gulu's arms with red eyes, and said in a crying voice:
"It hurts, Gulu."
The queen hugged her trembling friend tightly, she stroked her shoulder, and said in a gentle voice that shouldn't belong to the Predator:
"Gulu Gulu (It's okay, it's okay, I'm here.
