The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 637 4. It's time to test whether you are plastic sisters [Monthly ticket plus 210]

On the operating table in the confinement room, Queen Gulu's injury was nearly healed under Mason's miraculous first aid skills. Of course, the lack of energy could not be filled so easily.

Although the Predator is much stronger than humans in all aspects, they are still carbon-based creatures. To follow the recovery model of organisms, at least a few days of rest and a big meal can restore some vitality.

After all, Queen Gulu has rolled several times on the death line this time, and she is very lucky to survive.

But although she got rid of the bad luck of death, she was not happy.

After Mason sewed up her wound and injected various healing drugs to allow her to move freely, the once arrogant and tyrannical queen was extremely distraught, standing by the window in a daze holding the time ball in her arms, Looking at the blue sea and blue sky outside the island where the new Osborne Tower is located.

Her whole body exuded a kind of decadence and despair, and even the black nerve bundles at the back of her head drooped listlessly.

This kind of emotional change cannot be a disguise. In fact, the Predator is not a race with delicate emotions. Being able to behave like this proves that Queen Gulu is really very, very desperate.

"What's up with her?"

While cleaning the blood from his fingers, the old hat on Mason's head was like making an observation report on alien creatures. A face was recessed, looking curiously at the Iron Queen and asking Mason at the spiritual level:
"Why are you so depressed? Even the plan to revenge you was given up at once, as if losing the only meaning of existence in life."

"Because she has really lost the meaning of existence in life, my poor hat who knows little about aliens."

Mason responded casually in his heart:

"The civilization system of the Predator is a very martial civilization, which is basically equivalent to the insane enhanced version of the interstellar Spartan kingdom. These ethnic groups that show strength and glory by hunting and fighting are very illusory things like the sense of honor. Heavy, that is the totem of civilization engraved in their inheritance.

Even Predator recruits risk their own death trying to hunt dangerous predators like Xenomorphs alone, simply to test their strength and try to gain respect among their kin with their trophies.

For such a civilization, being captured means that all dignity will disappear, and Gollum's situation is even more serious.

She is the queen!
Not only the nominal leader of the Iron Blood Warriors, but also the real strongest person in the Iron Blood Kingdom. Her strength is strong, but her self-esteem is several levels higher than her own strength.

She survived, and was also parasitized by the alien, which means that she has a scar representing shame, and even if she returns to the group, she will be abandoned again.

She was no longer an empress, nor even a warrior. "

The captain recalled the class division of the Predator in his mind, and after a few seconds, he used a rather professional vocabulary to explain:

"She became the Outcast, the Lost, the Fallen, the Deserter, unable even to regain her dignity and prestige by going back to hunting alone as a recruit.

Basically equivalent to social death.

For the Predator who valued the sense of honor extremely, this was much more uncomfortable than killing them.

What's even more frightening is that the existence of the special alien in her hand will cause her to be judged by the arbitrators sent by the Predators, and the Lone Wolf, Falcon, Lion Mask, Scar and other Predators in the star sea will spontaneously come to hunt. Kill her to remove the shame of the clan.

Even if she can escape or defeat these young warriors, she will still alarm the more powerful iron-blooded guards, the iron-blooded elders and even the ancient iron-blooded ones who wake up from their slumber and dormancy and regard her as prey.

From being reduced to an exile from the queen overnight, she is not crazy now, which shows that she has a strong mind. "

"Ha, that's what a stupid power civilization is like. It has super high technology, but it still rules the civilization with the wild rules of the clan system."

The hat sneered bitterly:

"It was to be expected when they were unwilling to revise their 'old and holy' laws. But that's not a bad thing for you, is it?
You can convince her helpless to join your cause, or even directly influence the Eighth Order of Conquerors.

It was a Jagged Legion, and it was time for Gollum to deal with them.

This is called a professional counterpart. "

"That's what I said, but the stubbornness of the predators is as incomprehensible as their self-esteem. To be honest, I don't have the confidence to convince her."

After grooming, Mason looked at his watch. There were still 5 hours before the action tonight. Considering that he had nothing else to do next, he decided to give it a try.

"Gollum."

Mason simply sorted out his thoughts, then turned around and said to the Iron Queen who exudes low air pressure all over her body:
"What did you think about what I just told you? Regarding your best friend Madeleine, do you need me to introduce her current situation for you?"

"Gollum!"

The queen let out a hoarse roar without looking back.

Although he still couldn't understand Iron Blood, Mason guessed it was a dirty word.

"Chair, act as an interpreter."

Mason let the Mobius chair suspended next to him act as a translator. This superintelligence has a language analysis module. As long as it collects some voice features, it can accurately and silently translate the meaning of the other party.

"She said, you are an evil creature, and you didn't kill her just to let her experience the real despair, and she also said that everything that happened on Utopia is just the survival of the fittest by natural selection.

Your anger at her is pointless.

Because even if the eighth conqueror doesn't go, other sequences will be sent there, and the survival of those civilians depends entirely on the noble character of the Predator!

They disdain to use force against civilians, and they also voluntarily released some people into the underground fortress. "

The chair quickly translated these, and reminded:
"All the above translations have been processed with silenced words, but the queen's cursing skills are really clumsy"

"I don't want to discuss with you whether the destruction of Utopia is justified in your opinion. We only discuss Madeleine."

Mason sat on the Mobius chair, hanging behind the Jagged Queen, and he said slowly:

"You should have seen before that Madeleine has absorbed too much Phoenix Force, but her control ability is obviously insufficient and has begun to be reversely controlled by the Phoenix Force. Even the spiritual protection that the Supreme Professor finally put on her can't change the situation. , it was only a matter of time before she became a dark phoenix.

Do you know what the dark phoenix represents to the host of the phoenix? "

Facing Mason's question, the queen hesitated and shook her head.

It seems that the relationship between her and Madeleine is indeed very good. This question can even temporarily relieve her of the despair of losing everything. However, with Madeleine's character, it is estimated that she will not take the initiative to talk about the Phoenix Force to the Queen. weakness.

She didn't know this was normal.

Mason explained:

"All the hosts chosen by the power of the phoenix are called 'phoenix apostles', this is the first stage, the individual will is fused with the phoenix fragments, and the power of creation can be controlled.

In this case, the power of the phoenix fragments is not enough to change the character and personality of the host, but it has begun to amplify their inner emotions.

The good turned bad, and the bad got worse.

In the second stage, as the power of the phoenix was absorbed from the outside world, the apostles began to transform into a more powerful stage, and they had two transformation directions.

If his will is firm and supported by a clear goal, and he can resist the magnification of the dark side of the soul by the power of the phoenix with help from the outside world, then he may use his own will to overwhelm the chaotic nature of the power of the phoenix. Leading to make their own form to 'white phoenix' change.

This is the most perfect evolution!
The finally formed white phoenix is ​​omnipotent, because the host's perfect manipulation of the power of creation will make him the strongest person who can be born in the universe, equivalent to the gods of the universe.

However, this happens as often as the double-queen Alien in your hand.

Basically only exists in the legend.

The fate of all Phoenix apostles under normal circumstances is to become a black phoenix. After all, there are very few people who can resist the echo of the Phoenix's power with their will. "

Mason sighed and said:

"Compared to the perfect white phoenix, the black phoenix is ​​a complete disaster, the host's will was completely eroded by the chaos of the phoenix force, causing him to become a puppet of the phoenix force.

High-dimensional life being bound in an individual will have an instinct of resistance to destroy everything, and this instinct, through the process of the apostle's continuous strengthening, will turn everywhere he goes into the chaotic state before the birth of the universe.

If it only destroys other things, it can only be regarded as an uncontrollable weapon at best, but the deadly thing about Dark Phoenix is ​​that he also destroys himself while spreading destruction.

Just like Madeleine's current state.

She is very powerful, but also extremely fragile. When her body cannot bear the energy of self-annihilation, she will turn into the most humble particle in the world and disappear forever in your and my memory.

There will be no trace of her, and no one will remember her when she walks through this miserable world.

This is where your best friend is now, she is one step away from death. "

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

The queen turned her head and barked her teeth and roared, and the Mobius chair immediately translated:

"She said that Madeleine was a dark miracle bred from pain and despair, she never bowed to fate and endured danger and torture time after time.

She believed that Madeleine could turn danger into good fortune.

She also thinks that you want to use her as a bait to lure Madeleine back, and imprison Madeleine like imprisoning her. Although she doesn't know how you will defeat Madeleine, she believes that the cunning and evil You must already have a complete plan.

She will not be your tool to harm her best friend. "

"It's really a touching friendship, such a pure emotion is rarely seen between girls."

Mason shrugged.

He took out a containment box from his luggage, and when he opened it, there was a twisted needle inside. He handed this thing to Gulu, and said:
"Okay then, since we can't convince you on the emotional level, let's use concrete evidence to explain the situation she is facing at this time. God Lord Dum is sitting on the power of a goblin who is eager to swallow all the energy in the world. This should be for you It's not a secret.

The needle in your hand is the weapon that Supreme Beast Hank used to attack Doom before he died. I can confirm that it was pierced into Doom and injected some particles into the god.

After my recovery and verification, Hank injected him with Phoenix Factor.

It was a special injection containing a weak sample of the Phoenix Force, possibly a fringe creation of the experiment that Madeleine participated in back then.

Obviously, Hank already knew the truth about the destruction of Utopia, and he wanted to provoke a fight between the two enemies to achieve the goal of turning them against each other and dying together.

As expected of the symbol of wisdom in Utopia, this assassination was very successful.

At the cost of his own life, Hank made the goblin power in Doom taste the delicacy of the Phoenix Force. For that evil, greedy ancient power, tasting means longing.

It will drive God Lord Dum to constantly search for more phoenix power to feed him, but currently in this broken parallel world system, who has the most phoenix power? "

Mason stared at the wide-eyed Jagged Queen in front of him, and said in a low voice:
"I'm not suggesting to you some dire future for Madeleine, but the fact is that if she chooses to work with Lord Doom in order to save you or to hate me, it's tantamount to being a sheep. jaws of death.

If I were Doom, I would lead her to fulfill her duties as a weapon, aiming the blades of the first series at my enemies, after she succeeds or fails, after she loses her use value, she will become a saty goblin A delicious ration of strength.

With the energy of the Phoenix Force in Madeleine's current body, Doom can use her as a long-term 'reserve'.

Look, Gollum.

Even without considering my factors, your best friend's current situation can be described as precarious. The most terrible thing is that she may not be aware of her situation.

I admit that her life was full of pain and darkness, and she was almost never treated with kindness, but I also had to make a judgment, that is, my sister is not a smart person who is good at detecting danger and making preparations in advance.

She is being used all the time!
In addition to her ill-fated fate, this is also related to the fact that she has not learned enough lessons from her past painful experiences. She is not a person who is good at learning.

This is the biggest flaw in her character.

I reminded her, but she thought I was mocking her."

Having said that, Mason felt that he didn't need to persuade him anymore. He said to the former Iron Queen who crushed the twisted needle in front of him:
"I deeply regret what happened to you personally and call it self-inflicted, but if you really want to help your girlfriend, you need to know who your trusted allies are right now.

You can no longer return to the eighth sequence of conquerors, and you cannot return to your kingdom, because your 'ancient and sacred' laws have caused you to become a disgrace in the eyes of your people that must be washed away.

You have nowhere to go.

And Doom happens to be one of the enemies I'm sure will kill.

So, what's your answer? "

Looking at Mason who was waiting for an answer in front of him, looking at the expressionless face that was actually a sure winner, Gulu wished he could wave his paws and smash this damned face into a pile of pieces of meat.

But she can't do it.

She felt like a puppet played by the devil in human legends. The bastard in front of her could clearly control her to become a weapon of war, but he insisted on convincing her with this soul-destroying method.

She knew that she had countless reasons to refuse Mason's offer, but when she thought of Madeleine's delicate face that implied sadness and pain, the queen couldn't make up her mind to abandon her little girl.

She once had to make compromises and sacrifices for her people and civilization, but now that the burden of civilization leader has been removed by an unexpected disaster, losing the shackles of the leader may not be a bad thing.

At least now, she can ignore those laws and make her own choices.

After 2 minutes of silent thinking, Gulu stretched out his hand, and pulled out three bloodstains on his broad cheeks and forehead bone plates, which were the symbols of the fallen iron blood or the exiled iron blood, representing the decision she had finally made.

"Grunt! (I need weapons! Armor and my vehicle!)"

She stared at Mason and said:

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr(I will hunt with you until Madeleine is rescued, but I will not turn my weapons on my people.)<<

"Whatever you want, that's your choice, I won't interfere, I hope you still have such firm resolve when your people chase you down."

Mason wrote down the list of weapons and combat readiness that the Queen needed, handed it to her, and signaled her to go to the engineering laboratory of Osborne Tower to make and test these things.

Engineer Mason opened his own little shop there, where he could get everything.

"You'd better let it out."

As Gollum limped away, Mason reminded:
"If you can tame it. No, you definitely can. It is theoretically your child, and it should obey the mother's orders."

"Gollum! (Shut up! You bloody devil!)"
