The Track of Dawn In the World of Marvel

  Mason's understanding of the Isu world is not superficial, he knows that there have always been legends about "sages" in the vision where the assassin's inheritance prevails.

   It's not an "artificial saint" like John Wick.

  When Team K entered that world for the first time, Barbara picked up from Abstergo's database the people in that world's organization and collection of the Isu heritage.

  Since the birth of human civilization, there will be "sages" in every era. Their abilities are different from ordinary people, and they even give people a feeling of omnipotence, especially in terms of leadership and charisma.

  These are all Isu bloodline guys who have naturally awakened in their blood, but it is very doubtful whether these "sages" who have been handed down to later generations are not themselves after awakening.

  At least Mason believes that quite a few of these saints active in history are haunted by the ghosts of the Isu.

  Those long-dead guys are unwilling to just give up the world. They have been secretly shaping the world into what they hoped for through the "divine blood" hidden in the source of human genes 70,000 years ago.

  Consus once asked Mason what he thought of the Isu in Mikoshi World, but Mason chose not to answer at that time.

   But obviously, he really doesn't like the Isu people.

  However, when I saw Hephaestus today, even if the conversation between the two did not exceed ten sentences, the latter still left a deep impression on Mason with his chic and decisive refusal.

   So much so that Mason was able to call him "mentor" when he saw off the forging **** he met for the first time.

  Of course, Mason’s progress in various manufacturing fields is really thanks to the knowledge and wisdom Hephaestus left him, especially when the K team was still weak, these gifts really helped a lot.

  From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration for him to call him a mentor.

  The only regret is that I can't invite such outstanding Isu people to join my career, but everyone has their own ambitions, and this kind of thing can't be forced.

  The spiritual illusion brought about by the complete awakening of the Isu bloodline is rapidly dissipating.

  The disappearing figures of Hephaestus and Aphrodite turned into points of light under Mason's gaze, and the surroundings became white, as if in a world model simulated by data but not yet painted.

   This scene is very similar to the scene of "Young Hero Restart" after "Out of Sync", but Mason's expression turned serious.

  He knew that he should return to his body after the mental projection dissipated, so the "cutscene" in front of him didn't happen naturally.

   Someone is interfering with this!

   Could it be that other Isu are coming to pick a peach?

   "It seems that you and Hephaestus had a good talk."

  But before Mason was ready to fight back, Consus's familiar voice sounded in the white light, making the captain's vigilance relax immediately.

  Although he learned from his master not to trust anyone's tactics, he hasn't reached the level of Batman's obsession after all.

  Mason has a "trusted list" in mind.

   It is hard to say who is specific, but Consus and Hat are definitely on the list.

This Isu ghost has been doing his best to help Team K advance their cause since the moment he appeared by Mason's side, especially in the field of guiding Mason to combine the obscure Isu biology and alchemy. Seuss is teaching.

  He is also one of Mason's mentors.

   "I thought you didn't care about me."

  Mason turned back and said with a smile:

   "It seems that you don't have much confidence in the integrity of your real brother?"

   "Alas, I once trusted Hephaestus when he was alive. He was the engineer and creator I respect the most, but he has been dead for more than 70,000 years after all."

  Consus standing in the white light sighed and said:

"You are not the first heir of Hephaestus. In the past time of the Isu world, although I was dormant most of the time, I heard something about him during the journey of walking the world when I was awakened occasionally. gossip.

  Do you know who his last heir is? "

   Mason shook his head.

  Consus didn't keep it secret either, he said softly:

  “Nicola Tesla, the most dazzling son of wisdom in an era, a great inventor, and a saint who behaved insanely.”

  "His most famous deed is falling in love with pigeons. I think Harry and him must have a common language, but you say that he is the saint of Hephaestus, which is somewhat."

  Mason added a sentence to show his gossip ability, and then he heard Consus explain in a quiet voice:

   "Then tell me, Mason, as far as you know, which goddess is the white dove a symbol of?"

  The captain was stunned for a moment and then blinked, but did not answer the question.

   But this frightening little detail made him realize that what Consus said was true, and Hephaestus didn't seem to be as simple as he just showed.

   This guy is also a very complicated person.

"got it?"

  Consus shook his head and said:

   "I'm not accusing my brother of driving that brilliant genius insane, I'm just saying that just because someone is credible in life doesn't mean he's bound to abide by the code after death.

  The long time of 70,000 years, reincarnation after reincarnation has already driven many of my compatriots crazy, they became crazy, reckless and act recklessly.

  Assassin Brotherhood and Templar Knights are in trouble today, the role played by the Isu ghosts cannot be clearly explained in a few words.

   But fortunately, Hephaestus recognized you.

  The best craftsman in the Isu society regards your wisdom as a priceless treasure that cannot bear to be destroyed, and uses a clean and thorough death as the end of his long-delayed death.

  Perhaps it was also because he was so proud that he didn't want to see the end of his madness in the torture, so he chose to preserve his last and fragmented dignity.

   Anyway, may he rest in peace. "

   "Well, thank you for making a special trip to look after me."

   Mason nodded and said to Consus:

   "Then let's go back now, there are still a lot of things to do."

   "No, I decided not to go back."

  Consus smiled and said to Mason:

  "After witnessing the choice made by my brother, I realized that my own existence seemed to have become a sad symbol, and I also longed to retain my last dignity.

   This is the last time we see each other, Mason.

  I am honored to witness you come to the present with my own eyes, but my story may come to an end. "

   "Hey, you two are in very different situations!"

   Mason immediately stopped:

   "I have asked Bartmoss to customize a set of prosthetics for you that can transfer your biological characteristics, and I am planning to give it to you as a gift. How can you give up at this time?

  If you say this is all because you saw Hephaestus choose to die, then I would think you are an idiot, but the problem is, you are not!

   So there must be some reason behind this, right? "

   "Yes, there is a very important reason."

   Consus did not deny it at all.

   This guy admitted with a smile:

   "It's because of you, Mason Cooper, because just now, I witnessed the birth of the 'leader' of the Isu people in this era, and my mission is over."

   "Mission?"

   Mason tasted the word, he looked to Consus, who explained:

   "Just as you can see that many worlds are making their own plans to fight the end, the Isu also have plans to face the end.

  Transforming humans as gene carriers is just one of them, and the Aurora device is also one of them.

   But that's not all.

  If you set a plan that lasted 70,000 years, would you design everything and leave them all to fate?

   No, you won't.

  You must choose some 'executors' or 'watchmen' for this long-term plan to be properly promoted, and I am one of them.

  You also know that I was once called 'Prometheus', the legendary 'Fire Stealer', why do you think I was called such a name? "

  Consus smiled and said to Mason very calmly:

   "I am one of the watchmen chosen by my people.

  I have personally witnessed the development of human civilization from its infancy to the present. During this process, whenever there is a deviation in the grand plan of the Isu civilization, I will use my method to make fine-tuning.

   I'm not the only Watcher, but the others have all been lost to history.

  Cassandra was the last watchman they chose before they died, and she has lived until now by relying on the Staff of Hermes. Her light is so bright that I can hide in the darkness.

   I thought my mission was over.

   But it turns out that when I met you, my real mission was just beginning.

  I realized that what I need to do has never been to guarantee a plan that lasts for tens of thousands of years. In the face of such a big change that shocks the situation, what I need to do most is to choose a leader for my long-lost people!

   Mason, leaders like you. "

   "Ah, I see, you didn't lie to me."

  Mason pouted and said:

   "You just didn't tell the whole truth, I now finally understand the conversation you had with me in the mikoshi world, asking me about my opinion on the Isu.

   Then I should have woken up.

   But why?

  Consus, I have united the five worlds together. I don’t mind helping the Isu if you tell the truth. Why do you have to choose to die?

  I'm used to all kinds of advice you give me in times of crisis, although not all of them are correct. "

   "Because of weakness!"

  Consus said in a deep voice:

  "After entering the Mikoshi world, after knowing the existence of Brainiac and Butmoss, I realized that the technology of the Isu cannot guarantee my concealment for a long time.

  And your trust in me means that once I fall into the enemy's control, you will also be in danger. I admit that this is a bit absurd idea, but I am willing to erase a weakness for my leader.

  Even if the price is my demise.

  Of course, the bigger reason is what I just said. I have been lingering for 70,000 years, Mason, I have witnessed the collapse of my civilization, I have witnessed the rise of human beings, and I have seen the impact coming.

  I have taught you everything I can teach you. Your attainments in the field of Isu biological science are already comparable to mine, so my ability is no longer enough to accompany you to continue walking forward.

  It is also a good choice to retreat bravely now.

  Of course, this can also be regarded as a kind of 'humanity kidnapping'. "

  The fire stealer in Isu mythology laughed loudly, he stretched out his hand, and passed some information to Mason in this spiritual space supported by the special function of the shroud.

   Made the latter narrow his eyes.

"This is?"

  He looked at Consus, who nodded and said:

  "The production and transfer process of the biological imprint, and how to preserve the integrity and purity of the soul data to the greatest extent under the pollution of filthy energy.

   This is the last gift I leave you.

  If everything is about to go to the cruelest point, the hunter lady beside you can use this method to survive like me.

   This way it doesn't have to put you in a dilemma.

  You don't necessarily use it.

   But I know you prefer to have a few more options in your hands before a crisis hits, that makes you feel comfortable.

  Finally, if you lose in the future, this method can also protect your soul from death.

  However, there is only one Isu shroud made by me, and there is only one soul data that can be stored in it. Don't worry about its lack of function.

  I have been hiding in it for 70,000 years and still maintain such a vivid emotion. It has proved its reliability and durability. You only need to upgrade it to ensure that it can accompany you to the end. "

   "I still think this is a bad idea!"

  Mason accepted Consus's kindness, and he retorted:

   "But we still have a way to keep you alive. You should perform your duties and missions to your people, and continue to watch until you see the reconstruction of the Isu civilization with your own eyes.

  You can't just abdicate your duties and become a coward, Consus! "

   "Don't be so childish, Mason."

  Consus shook his head, he said softly:

   "I know that you regard me as a friend, and I also know that you are an emotional person, but witnessing the departure of Hephaestus made me feel a lot.

  I am a ghost.

   Wandering in an era that doesn’t belong to me, maybe it’s time to end this journey of finding a homeland and entrust everything to the future. "

   Mason fell silent.

   After a few seconds, he looked up to Consus and said:

   "If you insist on doing this, at least let me send you for the last journey, as a friend, comrade-in-arms and companion."

   "As a leader!"

  Consus put his left hand on his chest and saluted Mason respectfully. He said softly like a hymn:

   "Blessed are the walkers of the Isu.

  We will rise from a long death and follow the brave back to the world.

   Blessed are the ghosts of the past.

  We will be able to escape from the dark situation and move towards the truly great goal.

   Blessed are the lost warriors.

  We have a glimpse of the light of enlightenment falling from the sky, and an era of chaos will thus end.

   On the night when he appeared in this age like a red sun with hope, the ignorant darkness and the abominable evil killed each other out of fear.

  The new myth is written here, and I am honored to witness this dawn trajectory. "

In Consus’s religious chants, Mason raised his hand and put it on his shoulder. In the white light of the dissipated biological consciousness compiled by data, this Mason’s best friend bowed his proud head to him, speaking softly. With a voice like an oath, he said:

   "I salute you, my leader."

   "唰"

  Mason's eyes opened in the next moment.

  When I entered my eyes, I saw Kevin the ooze monster who was turning into Batman and looked at him worriedly. It changed vividly, but the big gourd behind it that did not conform to the image of the master betrayed it.

   "Ah, I knew I wouldn't give you this thing, it has pulled your camouflage level from perfection to the level of a comedian."

  The commander-in-chief complained, rubbed his eyebrows and sat cross-legged on the spot. He picked up the hat at hand and patted the dust on his head. The next moment, the hat said sadly:

   "He's gone, isn't he? That Isu man who always carried lies and concealment in his heart but was really trustworthy is gone?"

   "Well, he's gone."

  Mason stood up and manipulated the water to reshape his water bodies. In the process, the hat lamented as if he had lost his best friend:

  “I hated him, I was wary of him, but when he actually left, I felt like I had lost an old friend.

   It's a pity I didn't become friends with him while he was still around. "

   "Huh? Do you have any regrets?"

  Mason pouted and said:

   "Then when he comes back next time, you can personally tell him your plan to make friends."

   "?"

  The hat protruded from the face and put on an expression full of question marks, and Mason said casually:

   "I'm already the officially certified 'King of the Isu', what? As a leader, can't I even ask my friends to continue to serve Albert?

  I'm so busy, he still wants to follow Hephaestus' example of slipping away and being lazy?

  How could it be so easy!

  Okay, don't waste time, let's keep busy!

  There are still many things to do! "

—

   "唰"

  Consus opened his eyes in a daze.

  He thought he was dead, but he wasn't.

   Appearing in front of his eyes was a neon city covered by heavy rain. Those weird neon lights reflected in the water stains on the ground reflected weird light, and such colors everywhere made the whole city seriously polluted by light.

  In front of Consus, an idiot singer with an umbrella and a silver arm was blowing smoke rings at him, and said impatiently:

   "Welcome to Night City, idiot, we still lack a powerful doctor to adjust the consciousness data of those cyber lunatics. Idiot Mason just recommended you to us, but how long are you going to stay here, idiot?

follow me!

  Lao Wei gave up his clinic to you, it is time to continue working in another place. "
