The Track of Dawn In the World of Marvel

  Chapter 284 82. People who are too smart will always develop a lot of bad habits, right, Lai Bald?

  When Mason boarded the huge Atlantis Doomsday Ark, the old man was already waiting for him on the side of the ship.

Thomas still looks like a stranger, but Damian next to him is much more relaxed. This little lunatic looks like he has enjoyed his addiction. sword.

However, seeing how close he is to old Thomas, one has to sigh. Maybe an ice cream is all you need to get along with other kids, but if you want to be a friend of Damian, you have to follow him and cut a few at least. It takes a head to convince him.

   It can only be said that the gap between bear children and bear children is really big.

"follow me."

  The old man didn’t have much time to chat. He gestured to Mason and led him to the inside of the ark. Thalia, who was behind, wanted to follow up to have a look, but was blocked by Mrs. Martha.

  The female clown with paint and war makeup on her face smiled at her little grandson and said to Talia:

   "Thomas didn't let you go, so you'd better stay here obediently."

"right."

  Bain, who was guarding beside him, also persuaded Thalia in a low voice:

   “Thomas Wayne is orders of magnitude more dangerous than Batman, decisive and brutal, true to his morals and unwavering.

  He is the kind of Batman that Lei Xiaogu most desires to see. "

  Seeing that Bain said so, Thalia nodded and no longer took the risk of probing. But Catwoman next to her naturally followed Mason to the inside of the ark. She didn't want to be too far away from her little brother Mason.

  The old man spotted the tail, but he just glanced at it and didn't comment.

   A group of people took the ark elevator all the way down, and soon came to the core area of ​​this doomsday giant ship.

  The corpses here haven't been cleaned up yet. The heavy armored submarine warriors are lying on the ground in disorder. Most of them were shot to death, and some were stabbed to death by sharp knives. It looks like Damian's handwriting.

   In the deepest part of the core area, after passing through three mechanical doors, Mason saw Lex Luthor busy on a high platform.

Lai Bald in this world took off his coat and was only wearing a shirt, rolled up his sleeves and was busy in front of a biological cabin-like device. Seeing the sweat on his shiny forehead, he must have been here for a long time .

   There's also a guy in Deathstroke-style armor standing next to him with a weapon in hand.

   "This is the doomsday device of the Atlanteans? It's a little smaller than I thought."

  Catwoman looked at the surrounding buildings and asked in a low voice. The old man nodded and said hoarsely:

   "If Luthor's judgment is correct, it is indeed here. It's just that this device used to cause destructive consequences is a bit incomprehensible."

   "Thomas! I told you not to bring anyone here to disturb my work! This is not a playground."

   Luther, who was busy on the high platform, scolded viciously:

   "The danger alarm of this device has not been lifted, and it is still ready to be activated at any time. I need some time to crack the safety device of the Atlanteans."

   “I brought in a professional.”

  The old man said calmly:

   "He was also the planner and commander of this operation."

  Mason didn't take the time to exchange greetings either. Under Laidu's suspicious gaze, the young and somewhat over-the-top engineering master took out his toolbox and strode up to the high platform of the doomsday weapon.

  He glanced around, some modules had been dismantled by Lai Tuo here, and the various components exposed inside were full of the future style of submarine technology.

  He stretched out his hand to touch the electron tube module emitting a cold light in front of his eyes, and after a while, an information label popped up:

  Doomsday Weapon/Atomic Disruption and Stabilizer

  Quality: Epic-level Engineering Creation·Perfect Craftsmanship

   Utility: The Atlanteans made it not to detonate weapons, but to control very unstable dangerous energy so that it could explode at the right time.

  Item Description: Put down the bomb disposal pliers in your hand! It's not a detonator, and removing it will only make matters worse.

hint:

  The device has been locked by a special permission [Arthur Curry], and the next step can be performed after the permission is removed.

   "Are you cracking the permission blockade of this thing?"

  Mason withdrew his fingers, glanced at Lai Bald who was beside him with a suspicious face, and said:

   "You should know that this thing is bound to Arthur Curry's vitality. In theory, no one can control it except the King of the Seven Seas."

   "I can't unlock this permission lock, but I think I can bypass the permission tree and enter the core database. I only need one thread!"

   Lex Luthor said confidently:

  "I have in-depth research on the technology of the sea people, and I have even prepared a jamming program to make this doomsday weapon harmless."

   "But you don't know what's in there yet, do you?"

  Mason shook his head, stood up, took out a long box from his bag, and said to Luthor:

   "If you knew, you wouldn't try to make it harmless, which is basically impossible."

   After speaking, under the surprised gazes of Luthor and Deathstroke beside him, Mason opened the box and took out a severed arm covered in blood, and placed it on the console.

  After the triple confirmation of fingerprints, DNA, and unique life signals, Mason obtained temporary permission and then raised the sealed core module of the doomsday weapon from below.

  When the cold mist dispersed, the "decisive weapon" of the people on the seabed was finally exposed to the people on the land, and everyone except Mason dropped their jaws in shock.

   "Why is there a person here? The doomsday weapon of the people under the sea is a person?"

  Catwoman stepped forward and looked at the biological cabin like a light tube.

   Constrained by various complicated devices, a comatose man lay in it.

  He was placed in the core compartment of the doomsday weapon and completely sealed off from the outside world.

   But this guy is not an ordinary person at first glance, his skin is blue, and there is an atomic symbol on his forehead.

More importantly, except for the intact head and torso of this guy, the other parts of his body are in a "quantum state" change, sometimes turning into an entity but then turning into a free energy body in the next moment. Jumping back and forth in the cabin.

   Visible instability to the naked eye.

   Luthor took out an energy monitor and connected it to the port of the bio-chamber with a solemn face, and it exploded immediately when it was turned on. It is obvious that the energy fluctuations in the bio-chamber have exceeded the upper limit that can be read.

   "Like a living bomb."

  Laibald wiped the sweat from his forehead, held the smoking monitor, and said to the people around him:

"The kind that can blow up the continental shelf or even a small half of the world with one blow. The existence of this individual life is very unstable. He should rely on energy to exist, but these crazy sea people have injected him with so much energy that his existence has been completely destroyed.

  He was near death. "

   "I think I've heard of this guy."

  The old hero Deathstroke beside Luther looked at the blue-skinned man in the biological cabin in front of him. He tried hard to recall some secret documents he had read, and said after a few seconds:

"He was active in the 90s, nicknamed 'Captain Atom' and worked closely with the military, and became the leader of the official superhuman team for a time. During that time, there were several small-scale conflicts between the Atlantis and the land. , it is said that he disappeared accidentally during the last conflict.

  He went to mediate the war and everyone thought he was dead. "

  Old Deathstroke's explanation made Mason nod, which was what he wanted to say.

  As for Captain Atom, not many people know his name just because he is a second-tier or even third-tier character, but his other identity is very "prominent" in a certain sense.

   This dude is the archetype of Dr. Manhattan.

  Although both have the ability to modify reality from the atomic level, Captain Atom is obviously not as buggy as Dr. Manhattan, and his most well-known trait is "very unstable" as Luthor said.

  Because of the serious crisis caused by several out-of-control, he won the nickname of "Captain Self-Explosion".

  Based on the current state of Captain Atom as a "living dead" and the power of the extremely unstable energy in his body when it is disturbed and detonated, it is indeed enough to instantly destroy a continent and lead to a world-class chain disaster.

  However, a weapon of this level is still far from completely destroying a planet.

  The old man didn't care who the person in the jar was, he asked directly:

   "Can you disarm the weapon system?"

"no!"

   Luthor and Mason replied in unison, and then they looked at each other. Mason made a gesture of "please" and handed over the dangerous work of science popularization to Laitou.

  The latter wiped the sweat that continued to secrete from his forehead, and briefly explained:

   "As soon as he leaves this stable cabin, he will explode immediately. Destroying entities with this level of quantum bombing is not his main means of killing. Now I am worried that his explosion may rewrite reality and cause an uncontrollable crisis."

   "Don't even think about waking him up."

   Mason added:

   "The energy he accommodates has exceeded the limit he can control. This is not a problem that can be solved by willpower."

   Speaking of this, Mason glanced at the biological cabin next to him that could blow up a continent, he pushed the frame without lenses on the bridge of his nose, shook his head and said:

   “And I don’t think it’s the most urgent issue we’re dealing with right now.

  In our hands, we can guarantee that this doomsday weapon compartment will not explode in the short term. The capture of the King of the Seven Seas and the Queen of War also marks the end of this great conflict. Now it is time to talk about the real core issue. "

  He pointed to the sky and said:

   "The signs of destruction hidden under the appearance of crisis, the countdown has not stopped. Everyone, the existence that is obviously leading the various changes in this world is still waiting for us to go forward and 'visit'."

"what are you talking about?"

  Old Deathstroke looked at the eloquent Mason with a dazed expression on his face, but Luthor beside him had a flash of light in his eyes. He stepped forward to stare at Mason and said:

   "You mean the truth under the time change? You also found out, right?

  This world is not real at all!

  We, we are mere marionettes, forced to act out on stage a story with a written ending.

   Time and time again, the idiots don't realize what's wrong, they're so caught up in the infighting that they're destroying each other, they don't even feel what's wrong.

but I

I can! "

  Laidu took out a crumpled notebook from his pocket, and he said to Mason:

   "According to my calculations, this is already the thirteenth time!"

   "What 'thirteenth'?"

  The old man shook his cloak, and asked in a sinister tone:

   "Luther, make it clear!"

   "Time changes! Everything evolves! Call it whatever you want, I'm talking about this phenomenon!"

  The young version of Luthor waved his hands as if in a panic. He circled Mason and said loudly to the people around him:

   "It's like a program running in a simulation sandbox! It's like a piece of self-changing data! It's been checking! In the air, under the stars, in the reflection of water, in our eyes and even in our minds!

   It has been calculating a problem.

   Trying to find the answer again and again from the attempt of changing everything, but it can't find it!

  And the only consequence of every failed calculation to the real world is the collapse of the world and civilization, and then after the point of destruction, everything is rolled back to a certain time to start again.

again and again!

us!

  Everyone, we and all the people, creatures, and existences in this world are all placed in this "super-large social destiny experiment".

   We all have our own task, and we all need to complete it to ensure that the change continues. "

  At this time, Lai Tuo was like a psychopath. He shouted the secrets that could only be hidden in his heart, and his eyes were fixed on Mason like a lunatic who was eager for answers.

  From these eyes, Mason can even feel that Lex Luthor doesn't care much about the truth, what he cares about is whether his research and conclusions are correct.

   What a scientific madman.

  Facing his inquiry, Mason shrugged and said:

"I can't give you a definite answer, Luther, but I will tell you that you are probably the person closest to the truth in this world. But I'm still curious, if you are a program that is constantly checking in the sandbox, How did you discover the truth outside the box?"

"I have no idea."

   Luthor waved the tattered notebook in his hand in a bachelor way, and replied:

   "I just found my notebook and deciphered every previous research I had been doing and was interrupted, and there were a dozen distinct mathematical models on it.

   And I spent ten years deciphering them one by one, and blending their conclusions together.

  I am the thirteenth Lex Luthor!

   Or you can call me Lex Luthor XIII. I don't care about how I discovered the truth in the past. I just want to know the final result of this super-large experiment.

   Does it represent destruction?

  Eternal death, the heat death of the universe or the collapse of the foundation of all things, the distortion of the rules of reality

  I know, you can give me an answer!

   Mason Cooper.

   Comers from outside the sandbox. "

  He stared at Mason closely, the light in his eyes was almost frenzied, which made Mason feel a little uncomfortable. The catwoman beside him said with his arms crossed:

   "Why don't you ask me? Luther, I am also an outsider, and I have seen the truth."

   "Just because you've seen it doesn't mean you can understand it."

  The young Luther dismissed the mature big sister, and said in a sarcastic tone:

   "The cow also knows that the feeding machine can bring food, but it absolutely can't understand the principle of the machine. If I want to make a machine, do I have to ask the cows on the farm?"

   "So in your eyes, I'm a pretty monkey, right?"

  Catwoman bared her paws in displeasure, but Mason almost couldn't hold back her smile, thinking that the young version of Baldy Lai in front of him was really aggressive and had a poisonous tongue.

  It took him some time to tell Luther everything that happened outside, including the shock incident. The latter frowned, but a smart brain can always quickly relieve the oppression caused by a crisis.

  Mumbling to himself, he picked up a pen next to him and wrote and drew in his notebook, as if setting up a mathematical model to try to explain the connection between the shock and the parallel world system.

   "唰"

  Just ten seconds after everyone stopped talking about this, a flash of light appeared beside them, and the Flash still had tiny electric arcs on his body, which was the embodiment of the residual speed force after running fast.

  Xiao Shan didn't bother to explain, grabbed Mason's wrist and said:

   "Time has changed, just now! The complex net of supernatural speed that envelops the world trembled! The way to the depths of time has been opened.

   I don't know if the backflash broke it, but we're running out of time!

  We must go in immediately.

  No matter what is hidden there, it cannot be obtained by flashback. "

"us?"

   Mason raised his brows, he said:

   "That is the area built by the Speed ​​Force, Barry, only you can enter it. Although I am also very interested in it, I cannot touch it."

"you can!"

  Barry gritted his teeth and said:

   "You can use Superman's blood to turn yourself into a temporary Superman, can't you? I need your power, and I'll give you blood mixed with a sample of the Speed ​​Force.

   Do something, Mason!

  I must hold back the flashback in that time maze, and someone needs to decipher the truth.

  If possible, I certainly hope that Batman or Da Chao will accompany me.

   But now, I can now believe that the only one who has a choice is you, and I really shouldn't say this, but if Bruce trusts you, then I can trust you too.

quick!

  No time to waste. "
