The track of dawn in the world of American manga

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 is prevalent.

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 guys who have naturally awakened the Isu lineage in their blood, but it is very doubtful whether these "sages" who have been passed down to later generations are still themselves after awakening.

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

Those who have long died 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 7 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 didn't like the Isu people.

However, in the sight of Hephaestus today, even if the two of them did not talk for more than 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 god he met for the first time.

Of course, Mason's ability to go so far in various manufacturing fields is indeed 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 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 dissipated figures of Hephaestus and Aphrodite turned into light spots 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 did not happen naturally.

Someone is interfering with all this!
Could it be that other Isu were coming to pick a peach?

"It seems that you have a good talk with Hephaestus."

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 the master not to trust anyone's tactics, but after all, he has not reached the level of Batman's obsession.

Mason has a "trusted list" in mind.

It's hard to say who exactly, 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 was also one of Mason's mentors.

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

Mason turned back with a smile and said:

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

"Hey, I once believed in Hephaestus when he was alive. He was the engineer and creator I respect the most, but he has been dead for more than 7 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 successor was? "

Mason shook his head.

Consus didn't let it go, he said softly:

"Nikola 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 Harley and him must have a common language, but you say 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, which goddess is the dove a symbol of, as far as you know?"

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 innocent as he had just shown.

This guy is also a very complicated person.

"got it?"

Consus shook his head and said:
"I'm not accusing my brother of driving a brilliant genius insane, I'm just saying that just because you're credible in life doesn't mean you'll stick to the code in death.

The long time of 7 years, reincarnation after reincarnation has already driven many of my compatriots crazy, they have become crazy, reckless and reckless.

The Brotherhood of Assassins and the Knights Templar are in trouble today, and the role played by the Isu ghosts cannot be explained clearly 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 ends his long-delayed death with a clean and complete death.

Perhaps it was also because of his arrogance that he didn't want to see himself step into the end of 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 kind of sad symbol, and I also longed to retain the last dignity of myself.

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

It's a great honor for me to witness you come to the present, but my story may come to an end. "

"Hey, you two are in completely different situations, okay?"

Mason immediately stopped:
"I have already asked Batemos 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 of seeing Hephaestus choose to die, then I will 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.

The 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 in this era, and my mission is over."

"mission?"

Tasting the word, Mason 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 human beings as gene carriers is just one of them, and the Aurora device is also one of them.

But this is not all.

If you had a 7-year plan, would you design everything and leave it all to fate?

No, you won't.

You have to 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 Warden, but the others have all been lost to history.

Cassandra was the last watchman chosen by them before she 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.

I should have woken up then.

But why?

Consus, I have united the five worlds. 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 learning about the existence of Brainiac and Butmoss, I realized that the technology of the Isu people cannot guarantee my concealment for a long time.

And your trust in me means that once I fall into the hands of the enemy, 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 7 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, and 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 be regarded as a kind of 'kidnapping of favor'. "

The Fire Stealer in the 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.

Let the latter narrow his eyes.

"This is?"

He looked at Consus, who nodded and said:

"The production and transfer process of biomarks, and how to preserve the integrity and purity of 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 next to you can use this method to survive like me.

That way it doesn't have to put you in a dead end.

You won'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.

Last but not least, this method also protects your soul from death if you are unfortunate enough to lose in the future.

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

The emotions I have kept alive in it for 7 years have proved its reliability and durability, you just need to upgrade it to ensure that it will accompany you to the end. "

"I still think it's a bad idea!"

Mason accepted Consus's kindness, and he retorted:

"But we still have a way for you to survive. 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 know that you are an emotional person, but seeing Hephaestus' departure with my own eyes 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 searching for a hometown 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, saluted Mason respectfully, and whispered like a hymn:

"Blessed are the walkers of the Isu.

We shall rise from a long death and follow the brave back to the present.

Blessed are the ghosts of yesteryear.

We will be able to get out of the darkness and move on to something truly great.

Blessed are the lost soldiers.

We get 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, ignorant darkness and hideous evil killed each other out of fear.

A 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."

"Swish"

Mason's eyes opened the next moment.

When he entered the eyes, he saw the ooze monster Kevin 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 brows 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? The trustworthy Isu who always carried lies and concealment in his heart?"

"Well, he's gone."

Mason stood up and manipulated the water to reshape his water bodies. In the process, the hat lamented like losing a dear 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 get to be friends with him while he was still around. "

"Ah? 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 can it be so easy!

Well, don't waste time, everyone keep busy!

There is still so much to do! "
-
"Swish"

Consus opened his eyes in a daze.

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

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

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

"Welcome to Night City, idiot, we still need 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. "
