Trajectory of Dawn in the World of American Comics

Chapter 669 36. Next time, we will meet again in a place without darkness

The candle held in Ciri's hand was delivered to Mason's hand, like some kind of ceremony.

It burns on the cliffs of this barren planet, and the weak candle can't light up the sea of ​​stars or the darkness, but it is a ray of light, so that people walking on the night road no longer fear the darkness that blinds their eyes.

Mason held it in his hand, and the flickering candlelight seemed to reflect Ciri's life.

No longer in the form of a paper figurine wife, but a real life beating in the corona formed when the fire burned.

It was not the first time for Mason to see this candle. He had seen this burning thing placed on top of the chandelier like a crown in the Shadowlands of Starsburg, but he really didn't expect Ciri to bring this thing out .

"Are you worried that I won't be able to take action?"

Mason held the unadorned plain candle in his hand and asked:

"Do you want to complete the ritual of blowing out the flames with your own hands at a necessary moment, so that I don't have to bear the pain of loss?"

"It's not as complicated as you think."

Shirley pushed her long hair behind her ears. She looked at Mason in front of her and said:

"I'm just worried that you will fall into Old A's trap because of me and be in deep crisis because of me. I can guess what choice you would make in that situation.

If old A really completes his anti-Mason tactics, when the last hope is lost, you silly little man will definitely choose to stay there and accompany me to hell.

But that's not where a soul like yours should go,

All heavens have opened their doors for you and welcome you to stay. You will enjoy happiness and beauty in those places forever.

That's what you deserve.

I just thought, if I need a way to cut off the hope that pulls you into hell, I won't endure too much pain, just a gentle blow. "

"We can't use it."

Mason shook his head and said:

"It's just Mephisto playing tricks on people's hearts.

He wanted us to see how fragile life can be, but he couldn't understand that when a fire starts, nothing can put it out.

But it's not his fault, he's just a devil.

I feel like I should say something at this time to commemorate what is about to happen. "

"Speak, I'm listening."

Shirley looked at Mason while holding the Sword of the Lake Lady, her cat-like eyes full of tenderness.

There was no more hesitation, confusion and pain, and the first ray of rain fell from the top of the two of them, like a mischievous and gentle Mason's kiss on Ciri's forehead.

Although there is little water on this uninhabited planet, for Mason now, turning a thought into water is already the most basic superpower operation.

It is drizzle and breeze.

Blow into this desolate land and moisten the nutrients in the withered ashes. Maybe in the next year, buds representing hope will grow.

It is also very stormy.

Sweeping away the filth of this broken land, the sunshine after the evil spirits have been driven away is returned to the earth, hoping to reflect the fragrance of all things in the next morning.

Mason stood in his own rain curtain holding a candle. The cold raindrops did not damage the ignition of the flame. The small flame stood proudly in the rain, like a soul unwilling to surrender showing its existence to the world.

Although humble, it cannot be ignored.

“There’s so much I want to say, but it’s hard to get the words out of my mouth.”

The captain finally gave up on this plan.

He raised his head and looked at the lady in the rain in front of him with a smile. He observed every detail of her and wanted to imprint it all in his mind and never forget it.

The pistol at the waist was drawn.

Lift, aim.

The two looked at each other, and the captain said in the most gentle tone:

"I have brought the dawn, so that when you are born again, it will be a time of hope without tragedy."

"Yes, I believe."

Ciri closed her eyes and said softly:

"I believe we will finally meet again in a place without darkness. I have traveled to the end of the night and escorted the dawn to the end of darkness. I have atoneed for the sins in my hands, and the dazzling blood has been washed away.

I walked this path with vengeance in my heart, and now I will die without regret, to declare the end of the broken age.

like.

I've got it so I can enjoy the dream that never wakes until another kiss wakes me up and I'll be waiting for you at the next stop, Mason.

I will not miss you for the rest of your life. "

"wow"

The rain fell rapidly at this moment.

It was almost harsh, perfectly covering up the gunshots.

Gulu, who was urging the heroes of Walter to walk into the gate of time and space opened by the speedsters, seemed to be frightened. She turned her head and looked at the cliff in the distance.

She saw nothing, but a candle seemed to go out.

It was another death in an age where violence and madness are the norm, but this time without any vendetta or evil.

Even an iron-blooded lady like her can feel the slight sadness in it.

Ah, she understood sadness too.

Gulu turned back, gently lifted the torn cloak on his back, shielding the sleeping child in his arms from the wind above his head and the rain in front of him, and walked towards the crack in front of him under the escort of the tall and reliable figure beside him.

This long day was over for her.

But not yet for others.

"Did you see the soldier boy?"

Queen Maeve grabbed Azu who was about to jump into another world, she lowered her voice and asked:

"The man you're supposed to call father has been a little off from before."

"Whatever he does, isn't he always the kind of bastard who can do whatever he likes?"

Azu didn't care about his biological "father" at all, and even said with disgust on his face:

"It doesn't surprise me what he does."

"No, you empty-headed idiot!"

Queen Maeve said in a deep voice:

"You don't look at the current situation. We escaped, but these guys in front of us are no better than the people in the council. Whether you want it or not, we have to exist as a whole.

In case that guy does something dangerous, we will also be implicated. Isn't he also strengthened by the No. 5 compound? It seems to me that Lord Mason, who was like a demon just now, is also a mutant.

You say it's just in case"

"Ah, damn it!"

Azu is not stupid.

Although he has not reached the level of super wisdom, he still immediately realized what Queen Maeve meant. He is a bastard himself, so he naturally understands the behavior style of bastards very well, and he thought of a set that has something to do with "dangerous" in minutes. of various situations.

In addition, their group has always been loose.

Among them are some bastards who are very close to the people in the council. If something happens, everyone has to be jointly and severally responsible, not to mention the ability of the soldier boy's bastard is really tricky.

So a few seconds later, when little Iris, who was in charge of opening the Speed ​​Force channel, was crossing his hips and thinking hard about his homework problem today, he saw a man and a woman walking beside him, and said to her mysteriously:

"Hello, little leader, we want to report a dangerous guy"

——

Mason half-kneeled on the ground while wiping in the rain, twisted the deformed bullet and burned it into a delicate frame with magic fire and placed it under the extinguished candle in his hand.

He picked up the dropped ring on the ground in front of him again.

It was a gift he had given to Ciri before. It was the same style as Harley and Quinn. There was no corpse in front of his eyes. Because of the resurrection potion, Ciri disappeared into the original place at the moment of death. land.

There wasn't even any clothes left, only a shimmering sword of the lake girl stuck in front of Mason's eyes.

There was no sadness on the captain's face, and there was still a gentle light in his eyes. He put the ring in front of his eyes and then put it on his right finger.

It is only kept temporarily and will eventually be returned to its owner.

Afterwards, on the cliff where he was the only one left, Mason got up and held the hilt of the Lake Maiden's Sword, and gently pulled out the sacred blade and it fell into the palm of his hand.

This sword is a real legend in Shirley's world. It is said that it was shaped by the greatest supernatural power. It is a holy sword born among the five virtues of human beings. Hold and use it to kill enemies.

And after each sword holder dies, the sword will disappear and return to the mysterious place to wait for its next owner again.

Legends are always exaggerated, but when Mason held the sword, he found that it was not just a "memory" left by Ciri. It did not disappear because of Ciri's death, but stayed where it was. world is dead.

Before its eyes was a saint.

Mason looked at it, and the information label popped up quickly:

Item description 1: When I am not with you, my weapons will protect you for me, my beloved. -Cilia Fiona Ellen Leanne

Item description 2: Poor thing, I originally wanted to mock you for not getting your first holy sword until now. I have too many holy swords in your hands at this time, but considering that you just got your first holy sword I killed my wife, so I’ll let you go this time.

"Give me back my feelings, you idiot! I'm going to beat you up when I see you!"

The captain cursed.

But when his fingers touched the holy sword of the lake girl exuding golden streamer, all the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart were wiped out in an instant. His fingers slid across the bright blade, making the mysterious inscription on the sword jump like When ignited, it's like a ball of golden fire flowing on a sharp weapon.

He was looking so intently that he didn't even seem to notice the guy sneaking up behind him.

The time-honored hero among Walt's heroes can be said to be the first professional hero born in the world, obviously imitating Steve Rogers, the guy nicknamed Soldier Boy is accumulating power.

He clenched his fist behind Mason, and roared the moment the captain put away the candle, and the flickering light shot out from his chest like a sharp arrow and hit Mason precisely.

He was originally endowed by the No. 5 compound with the ability to eliminate all the functions of the No. 5 compound on life forms. In his world, this is basically equivalent to completely stripping the source of power of a superhuman, but after Dum added After conducting research on Compound No. 5 and improving the effectiveness of reinforcers, Soldier Boy also benefited.

Like other Walt heroes, his ability has been upgraded to be effective for all abilities, so the direct effect of this blow is to suppress and seal Mason's mutant ability like a leech serum.

He obviously wasn't acting alone.

When the chest cannon hit Mason, the moment the latter was engulfed by light, several space-time tunnels opened at the same time, and Conqueror Kang, who was sitting on the mechanical chair, flew out of it expressionlessly.

This guy is not the bastard who died inexplicably in the past. He is Director Kang who maintains a good relationship with Old A.

"No one can be trusted these days!

Even the rest of me are a bunch of fucking worms who fail to accomplish anything but fail. It is really difficult to do something, so I have to abandon my crumbling Kang Dynasty and come and kill you myself! "

Hope Director Kang complained while holding the thing that extended from the mechanical chair that was very dangerous just by looking at it.

He is obviously much more dangerous than other Kang.

As soon as he came out, it was a big battle, not only brought other Kangs who were loyal to him, but even brought in many bullies and destroyers from other timelines from his own time empire, and surrounded the helpless Mason in just an instant.

At the same time, the reinforcements who received the news from the speedster have also arrived here. It is precisely because almost all the people who can fight in New Osborne Tower have been taken to hell, and the rest of the "Mason Family" who had to go into battle shirtless people.

They were also worried that the main body would capsize this time, but when they approached the cliff that was already surrounded by Kang the Conqueror's army, the alchemist sitting on the magic carpet in the front suddenly changed his face slightly.

He stretched out his hand and stopped the others who were shouting and rushing forward.

He said:

"Retreat! Hurry! We are not needed over there. The main body has used dangerous things. It seems that he is in a really bad mood now. Brothers, please calm down and prepare for the 'Demon Exorcism Formation'!"

Mason will need it in a while. "

"Ha, are our Darkseid brothers going to be forced to open business again?"

The jeweler whistled, looking at the golden waterfall rising into the sky in front of him, he covered his eyes and said:

"What a ghost! Look at the intensity of this energy. Is Mason about to turn dark?"

"boom"

As soon as the words fell, a stronger shock erupted again.

A golden corona formed on the broken cliff. At this time, Kang the Conqueror stared at Mason, who was expressionless and hanging in the air like a god. The latter's indifferent eyes made him feel stressed. Shanda, at this moment he suddenly realized a very serious problem.

Why was Lord Doom not involved in this assassination plan?

Could it be that guy knew that the bastard in front of him had such a dangerous thing?

Hello!

Are you cheating?

"My mind is tired, let it rest for a while."

Mason whispered:

"Dakseid, I'll leave it to you, don't kill people, keep it for use."

"Hey, who wants to listen to you!"

The captain's voice turned evil in the next instant, and the void Mason, who was awakened again, took over the body. He moved his fists and looked at the group of ants that were retreating in front of him.

The fear shining in the other person's eyes makes it very enjoyable and satisfying.

"That coward is very sad because his little wife just died, and you little cuties came to your door thoughtfully at this time. Oh my, I am so grateful to you.

After all, it was really, really hard to get him out of control once. "

Nothingness Mason moved his five fingers, feeling the trembling of the world under his feet, he laughed and shouted to everyone in front of him:

"Now...cry! Cry full of fear and despair, that is a necessary ritual at a funeral, but if you cry badly, you will be crushed to death!"
