Trajectory of Dawn in the World of American Comics

"That Red Skull is crazy!"

In the passage leading to the underground area of ​​Spicy Palace, Harley, who was maintaining the venom suit, held a baseball bat, stepped forward vigilantly and whispered to Mason:

"His mental state of extreme pursuit of self-destruction is very abnormal, sweetheart, I can be sure that he definitely suffers from serious mental illness, such as paranoia or mania."

"He just looks like the Red Skull after all."

Mason frowned at the faded Speed ​​Force ring on his finger.

The previous activation made it completely consume the stored energy. In this world without speed force, the ring cannot be replenished, but fortunately, Barry gave him a speed force brick before.

He took off the dim tail ring, put it into the container storing the Speed ​​Brick, and let it absorb power by itself, and whispered to Harry in the dead silence around him:

"The lunatic may have done terrible things to himself. His insanity stemmed from his inability to fully control his brain. Perhaps there was a residual will competing with him for control of the body, which made him behave. All sorts of weird behavior."

"The more you say it, the more terrifying it is, Mr. K. It's almost like the beginning of a horror story specially used to scare bear children, putting other people's brains in your own head or something."

Harry was a little creepy, and glanced at the brightened surroundings again, she whispered:

"Ah, this underground base is fully automatic, and there is no one guarding it, which saves us a lot of energy."

Mason nodded, and strode into the underground base with Harry, which occupies a very large area.

This place is like a "breeding farm". Looking down from where they are, you can see a dense array of biological jars, and a new mutant is being bred in each biological cabin.

When the Weapon X project was established, all known mutant genes were gathered here, which is like a "mutant incubation base". Unfortunately, because the X gene is highly uncontrollable, mature gene fusion has not been completed until now. can not achieve.

It is estimated that Mason is already among the group of fusions who are closest to success.

"We have to destroy this place."

Harley took out a bomb with an evil clown drawn from her arms and threw it up and down. She said to Mason:

"This place is so evil! But, sweetheart, are you sure you were born from a biological jar here? Can you still remember where you were born?"

"Don't make trouble, I was not even a year old when I was sent away, how can I remember these things?"

Mason sighed, he didn't feel like he belonged here.

After all, would a normal clone miss the jar it was born in?

He retracted his gaze, and quickly walked along the corridor to enter the main control room in the center of the building above. A huge advanced instrument was placed in front, and multiple encrypted automatic programs were running to control the operation of the entire Weapon X project.

Mason couldn't find any data interface that could be accessed on this console at all, which shows that it was built with possible data intrusion in mind, so it made a kind of "super encapsulation".

But there's no need to hack it either.

He reached out and took out his identity card that was sent to the Gotham Orphanage with him, and inserted it into the only hole punch-like device on the console in front of him that could hold cards.

A moment later, a screen in front of him lit up, and a large amount of green data flashed across the screen, and then, under the gazes of Harry and Mason, a large piece of information was translated.

"Weapon X project · doomsday plan · the third batch of subject No. 13 · codenamed 'Maia' · the end of the third phase of the experiment · waiting for awakening."

A line of large characters confirmed Mason's identity, and then a red command lit up, assigning Mason to biochamber 13 in Area A to carry out the "gene awakening" process.

But Mason, who got the key information, did not leave immediately.

Instead, relying on the authority of his experimental body, he entered a line of search instructions on the console in front of him, and then began to search for the corresponding information in the local database according to the index directory.

Harley is still waiting to see the mutant ability of Little Sweetheart. Seeing that Mason is engrossed in searching for information, he sweetly urged:

"Logan and the Kryptonians will be overwhelmed at any time, Mr. K, we have to hurry up."

"I need a little more time."

Mason pushed the lensless frame on the bridge of his nose. He stared at the characters on the screen and said:

"Just now the Red Skull referred to the warlock master teacher as a 'traitor', which made me very concerned. Maybe that crazy guy casually said some very unbelievable truths.

This is probably the only one in the world that is still running. There should be relevant information in the super-large database. If we miss this, we may never be able to find it again. Ugh!

found it! "

His finger pressed enter to release a document, a death record from S.H.I.E.L.D., with a photo of a burnt corpse.

"The hero's code name is 'Doctor Strange', and the cause of death is that he was accidentally burned by sky fire while manipulating the prophecy spell in the Holy of Holies?"

Mason narrowed his eyes.

Looking at the death report in front of him, he noticed that the time stamp was a week before the nuclear war occurred seventeen years ago.

This timing is very delicate.

I learned from Stark's program that a traitor appeared in the Illuminati of this world, and Emma told him that the Weapon X project was secretly promoted by that traitor.

The other five members of the Illuminati, including Professor X, Neptune Namor, Iron Man Tony Stark, Captain Steve Rogers, and Mister Fantastic Reed Richards, all died in that day and night.

Black Bolt became the only surviving member of the Illuminati with his life, but he also lost his own people.

Black Bolt's demise and pain cannot be faked, and the probability of him being a traitor is extremely slim.

In this way, Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange, who suddenly "died" for strange reasons a week before the end, is very suspicious.

Coupled with the gloomy but true spellcaster's demeanor of the warlock's great mentor, and the crazy description of the Red Skull, all these clues are connected, and Mason can't help but jump out of a bold guess.

"Warlock is Doctor Strange who escaped from this world by feigning death?"

In the dark place, Mason whispered:

"This is not only my hometown, but also the hometown of warlocks! This can also explain why he can use his mentorship to snatch this world from the swordsman who is most qualified to 'inherit' it, and also cast magic to hide this world in darkness among the stars.

He wasn't just trying to avoid detection by the ever-running Weapon X project, he was protecting his identity from being revealed.

etc!

We might as well guess a little more boldly, the motorcycle of the ghost rider enshrined by the ghost riding gang, the magic fire that is in the same line as me, and the ghost rider who disappeared inexplicably

Perhaps this is not only the hometown of Warlock and me, but also the hometown of Lord Destiny!

This is the world of the Great Devil Mephisto! "

Mason took a step back.

He rubbed his head and looked at the death report on the screen in front of him. At this moment, he felt a little ridiculous.

Everything is connected, but in a way Mason never imagined.

Although there was no real evidence, all the clues could piece together an absurd truth, and he realized that he might have made a common-sense mistake.

He has always believed that the Council of Hope came first, and then there was the Stars Club, an organization under its jurisdiction.

He also believes that there will be the foundation and source of the stars, Lord Destiny, that is, the big devil Mephisto who has strange hobbies and likes to spend money to "raise" racers. He must come from the same world as the old A in the Council of Hope. .

This is also easy to understand.

After all, only guys from the same world can establish the most basic unity and trust before the impact. Even if the two sides have different positions, they can work together in the face of existential issues.

But now that he got these clues that were just discovered before him, Mason's idea was overturned, and he got the birth order of the two wrong.

"This withered world that has become wasteland is the place where the Stars Society originated. I have been one of them from the beginning?"

Mason looked at the dead and cold underground bases around him and the equipment that was still in operation, his clever mind started to work, and he began to make bold associations and reorganize the logical chain following this guess.

The truth about the union of these two organizations

Perhaps it is very likely that the great devil sensed the signs of the impact in this world, so he first joined forces with Doctor Strange, the world's most powerful spellcaster, to seek a way out.

After looking inward to no avail, we look outward for hope.

They set up the grassroots team of the Stars Association, and then by chance, they came into contact with the Hope Council, which was also in its infancy at that time.

The two sides hit it off and reached a cooperation.

The great transfer seventeen years ago was the first action of the Constellation Society.

This can also explain that Doctor Strange in this world had secretly colluded with Lord Fate before he jumped back, and the nuclear war seventeen years ago was just a means to force this world to accept "aid" from the Society of Stars.

The Weapon X project is likely to be specially designed by Fate to show his sincerity to his allies.

As a member of the Illuminati, Doctor Strange has enough ability to turn this plan into reality, and finally chooses to feign death before the agreed date to get away, making a gorgeous turn, from the leader of spellcasters in this world to the Society of Stars The great warlock mentor who exists aboveboard in the high-level.

So far, at the cost of the withering of this world, the two organizations finally completed the "fusion".

They have formed the current structure through running-in with each other. After the first impact, the first batch of conquerors and clearers also appeared, and those cannon fodder were composed of the experimental bodies of the Weapon X project.

Mason didn't have complete evidence to verify the guess that came to his mind.

But on a purely logical level, it all makes sense.

"The truth is really shocking."

He held the console in front of him and felt a little dizzy in his brain. Mason also felt struggling to sort out these thoughts in a short time, but what was even more indescribable was the nature of the birth of stars.

This organization has destroyed many worlds, but the darkness it emanates is the first to strike the place where it was born.

"Sure enough, Qunxinghui has never been 'in vain' at all."

Mason stroked the black devil tattoo on his arm.

He said in a complicated tone:

"This organization has been black since its inception, Old A must have known about it and was even one of the designers of the great transfer seventeen years ago.

But he chose to hide it.

Yes, of course he will hide it! Nick Fury is a lying spymaster, no matter which world he is in. Phew, I was almost fooled by his 'sincere' speech.

mutual benefit?

Pooh!

You can't believe a single punctuation mark that guy said, and of course, I'm not stupid enough to believe him. Huh, it turns out that Batman's 'distrust' strategy is effective at all times.

Thanks to the earnest teaching of the master to save me from falling into this trap. "

"So we're on the right track for this adventure?"

Harley didn't understand the specific content of the logic chain that Mason had just discovered, but she knew that Mr. K had discovered something extraordinary when she saw the rapidly changing expression on Mason's face.

She helped Mason leave the main control room to go to No. 13 awakening cabin in Area A, and asked in a low voice on the way:

"Then if this world is really the lair of Your Excellency Destiny, can we do it! My head hurts, I can't say this, I can't even think about it.

The damned curse! "

"It's okay, just listen to me, cutie."

Mason rubbed Harry's head that was aching because of the curse, and said:

"It's useless for us to confirm this, the devil has long since left here, and it no longer needs this world to provide it with some 'nutrients'.

Not even revealing the secret could harm it or the warlock.

But the truth is the truth!

Understanding where they originated means that we finally understand where the real enemy lies.

I can use this to persuade those who have been kept in the dark to completely fall to us, and even guide the hatred of the shattered world in my hometown to turn it into a sharp knife that we can wield.

However, these are things for the future.

Harry, you have to remember that you can't tell anyone these things without my permission.

This can bring you danger and trouble. "

"Well, I've always been very obedient."

Harry nodded vigorously.

She and Mason quickly followed the marked route to Area A. In the fully automatic base, a faint blue awakening pod was ready.

It is filled with a special azure liquid, waiting for Mason to lie in it to unlock the X-gene fragments locked in his body, which will give him mutant natural abilities.

There is not much danger in this process, Mason just needs to lie down and wait for the unlocking to complete.

But Harry was worried.

She was suspicious and always felt that the instrument in front of her would hurt her little sweetheart, but Mason was very frank. He took off his clothes and only put on his shorts, and lay down in the icy water under Harry's worried gaze.

He comforted his little cutie:

"Don't be afraid, Emma promised that there will be no danger, you can stay here or leave, Harley, it is said that there will be uncontrollable risks when mutants awaken their abilities.

I'm afraid I'll hurt you. "

"No! I'll stay here."

Harley hugged Mason's clothes, she bent down and kissed Mason's forehead lightly, and said in a gentle but firm tone:

"I'm going to wait for you here, although I heard that some mutants will become ugly, but don't worry, sweetheart, no matter what you become after you come out, I will not abandon you.

I will be here with you, and so will Quinn.

If you are afraid, call us.

We can hear it. "

"I'm not the child you imagined."

Mason rolled his eyes and said:

"I'm not afraid of the dark."

"Yes, yes, Mr. K is the bravest. He is already a big boy who is not afraid of anything."

Harry helped Mason lower the hatch cover of the wake-up cabin like coaxing a child, she grinned and waved to Mason:

"Hurry up, you have to come out before my first gray hair grows, you hear me?"

"Um."

Mason responded.

The blue hatch was completely locked in the next moment, and then a bone-chilling energy began to burst out from the water around Mason. At this moment, it seemed so cold that even his soul would freeze.

The White Queen said that Mason's paternal gene, which has shown signs of awakening, comes from the Omega mutant "Iceman" Bobby Drake.

Since Mason's ability is biased towards water, his energy awakening process must also be "tempered" by water.

He felt like he was going to freeze.

But just like the last time he witnessed the illusion of the stars when he obtained power from Lord Destiny, this time when the X gene was unlocked and awakened, Mason also seemed to see a white world of ice and snow.

In the snowstorm flying all over the sky, he could vaguely see a crystal clear ice sculpture standing in the quiet white world. He felt like a piece of falling snow, as if he would blend into this flying snow scene at any time, or like The sea tide was surging, and the torrential rain that covered the sky and the sun was falling, causing ripples in the whole world.

However, these illusions originating in his heart did not make Mason feel too much anxiety, because this is his innate power, which was hidden on the day he was born.

Some people say that he is a hero born for salvation, and some people curse him as a tool used by evil to spread darkness from the beginning, but these evaluations from others cannot define Mason's life.

After all, only a fool would deny himself because of the evaluation of others.

So, with some anticipation, a line of text quickly appeared on the translucent character card:

"The hidden gene fragment is unlocked, and it is determined that the specific blood, mutant, and activation in the harmless life form conversion. The genetic path is determined to be: 'Iceman' Bobby Drake/'Sea King' Namor

The race is changed to: standard humanoid creature, human subspecies, Isu/mutant hybrid [Isu blood concentration 9.94%, X gene power level: strong]

Genetic ability identification, please wait a moment."

"Why do you still have two paternal genes? No wonder I was able to use that damned trident. After arguing for a long time, I actually have the right to inherit Atlantis."

Before falling into the ice, Mason complained in his heart:

"Hey, Emma, ​​how messed up is your private life! Also, don't write everything into my DNA, bastard!"
