Chapter 191 74 If You Can’t Change the World, Then You Can only Change Yourself.

Chapter 191 74. If you can’t change the world, then you can only change yourself.

Although he said he was going to the Grand Temple, he couldn't just leave without making any preparations.

What the Isu bloodline gave him was knowledge rather than direct combat power. Although the potion used Super Soldier Serum as an adapter did strengthen Mason's body, it could not turn him into Superman all of a sudden.

Speaking of which, although Mason has never seriously strengthened his body, he was strengthened once when he joined the Society of Stars, and then drank the unicorn potion. Now he has the improvement of this tube of Isu potion. Although he doesn't pay much attention to this increase in pure strength, Mason estimates that his current physical fitness can be regarded as a "junior superhuman".

However, this does not affect Mason's full strength in other areas, but his melee skills are still appalling at Lv1.

He himself said that he always felt insecure about melee combat, except of course when wearing power armor. In that state, Mason felt extremely safe.

At this time, the Assassins and Templars in this world must have set up defenses near the Grand Temple. If they rushed over like this, they would probably be beaten to pieces on the spot. Therefore, after waking up, Mason got busy in his suitcase factory.

Of course, don’t forget to contact your teammates.

"John, how are you doing over there?"

While Mason was disassembling the Widowmaker, a precision rifle in his hand, and injecting magic into the lapel pin on his collar, he asked:

"They're after you, right?"

"It's not bad, but the whole city and even the whole world are trying to kill us. What a big deal."

Constantine's slightly weak voice came from the other end of the lapel pin, and he complained:

"It's almost crazy. I never thought that I would be forced to this point by a group of mortal assassins, trekking out of the city in the smelly sewers. What the hell!

And you?

How are you?

Barbara said we should meet you at the Great Underground Temple outside the city, which I think is a terrible idea, but now that the gate to the world is sealed by these guys, we have nowhere to go but there.

The whole city is full of their people.

All communications are being monitored, and my only blessing is that these guys don't know magic. "

Mason nodded, thinking, and then looked at the technical rifle that was disassembled into a table of components. He looked at these components, and ideas for their modification kept floating in his mind.

The scientific and technological knowledge originating from the Isu people floated in his mind, filling Mason with all kinds of fantastic ideas at this moment. He pushed up the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose, feeling that he was very confident that he could transform this advanced firearm from 2077. It's more convenient.

After all, compared to the black technology of the Isu people, the military level of Night City is indeed a bit unsatisfactory.

"You can use golden apples, John."

Mason picked up the charging module of the technological rifle and the multifunctional engineering wrench at hand. He blinked and said to his team members:

"Now take out that thing and follow my command to operate it. It will help you escape from the assassins' capture, and then join me at the Grand Temple."

"That's the problem, Mason, we have a guest now."

Zha Kang lowered his voice and said:

"He's still a big shot. Albert Wesker, captain of the plague squad of the Council of Twelve, is traveling with us. He said he was sent here by the Grand Master Warlock to search for information.

Hey, he's an unlucky guy like us.

That guy was frightened by our information about the Great Temple, but I'm sure that as long as I take out the golden apple now, he will grab it. The three of us can't beat him. "

"No need to fight. As long as you move fast enough, you will be able to scare him. Wesker has a suspicious temper."

Mason was not surprised when he heard Wesker's name. He had seen Cloud and Jerusalem in the Star Castle, bah! Swaggering around with Tifa.

Now he's just a mere Wesker.

He warned:

"Take it out first and follow my instructions."

On the other side, in the sewers of New York City, Team K is trudging along the sewage side.

Zha Kang was hesitant when he heard Mason's statement. He glanced at the man in sunglasses who was opening the way in front of him, and after a few seconds, he raised his fingers at the two barrels next to him.

Er Tong stared at him in surprise. After the two made eye contact for a few seconds, he took out the golden apple from his bag and handed it to Zha Kang. He then pulled out his kinetic pistol and looked in front of him warily.

Barbara took a step back to form a covering formation with the two people in front. The broken light in her pupils danced, causing several suspended combat Griffin drones to hover next to the three of them.

"Um?"

When the golden apple was taken out, Wesker, who was walking in front, immediately turned back. His scarlet eyes under his sunglasses stared at the Isu artifact in Zha Kang's hand.

There wasn't much exchange of words.

But the atmosphere on both sides suddenly changed, especially when Wesker walked towards them.

"Put the golden apple in the palm of your hand. The one with the triangular emblem is at the bottom. Don't hold it upside down."

Mason's voice rang in his ears along with Zha Kang's magic, and then he heard his captain's gentle reminder:

"Put your fingers on it, and clasp the second and fourth quadrilateral outlines at the third middle ring to put it into charging mode, and then inject magic into it.

It doesn't take much, just let me know when it shines. "

Zha Kang immediately followed the instructions. Seeing Wesker getting closer and closer and the latter's left hand began to emit strange heat, he said:

"This thing lights up, and what next? Come on, damn it!"

"Then point it at Wesker with the idea of ​​making him kneel down and call you daddy!"

Mason said this, and the dark wizard immediately lifted the golden apple in his hand.

The next moment, light flowed, and dazzling fragments of light erupted from the golden apple in Zha Kang's hand like fireworks. The voice of a yellow bell also exploded in Albert Wesker's heart at this moment.

"Kneel down! Call daddy!"

It's like some kind of magic that acts directly on the soul. It breaks down the defenses at once and is so fast that people can't react at all. Brother Sunglasses' legs instinctively wanted to bend downwards and he already opened his mouth, but he was forced to hold it back. Stay, and then dodge far away like teleportation.

Then he looked at Zha Kang and the obviously awakened golden apple in his palm with a wary expression.

He couldn't understand what was happening at all, but he was sure that Constantine, the famous "group destruction engine" in the Star Club in front of him, had mastered the use of the golden apple.

"Holy crap! This thing is awesome!"

Zha Kang's face was filled with surprise.

As a spell caster, he just felt a very clear energy shock erupting from the golden apple. It seemed that this strange thing suddenly became a carrier of some evil spiritual magic.

"Just scare him, not as powerful as you think."

Mason explains:

“Isu artifacts like the Golden Apple are designed to manipulate the will, body and spirit of standard humanoid creatures.

This thing has irresistible power for ordinary people within 200 feet, but it is very ineffective against "virus people" like Wesker, and it is difficult to control it accurately if you don't have Isu blood.

So stop playing.

Now inject magic into it again, and clasp the glowing thread in the second middle ring to let it enter the 'thinking rewriting' program.

In this mode, the golden apple can generate a thinking force field.

Any human who sees its light will fall into unconsciousness and coma. The effect will be worse for those with Isu blood, but it is enough for you to escape from the assassin's circle.

The thought force field can last for six hours once activated.

But don't use it to do bad things when you are escaping. John, you are also a standard humanoid, so you will also be eroded by the thought force field. This thing was designed as a 'pointer' for slave owners, and it is a kind of sacrilege for slaves to hold it now.

It's just as dangerous to you, so hurry up. "

"receive."

At this time, Zha Kang was holding a glowing golden apple, as majestic as a god descending from the world.

He handed the thing in the direction of Wesker coquettishly, and conveyed his will into Brother Sunglasses' mind in the way of a "mental hammer".

"You want this? Come and get it, dear Wesker."

"What was that just now?"

Wesker was undaunted.

He just looked at the golden apple in Zha Kang's hand hesitantly and couldn't understand why Team K suddenly mastered the use of this dangerous Isu artifact.

"Evil slave program."

Zha Kang snorted, pretended to have a great advantage and said with his hands on his hips:

"The golden apple is an artifact used by the evil Isu people to enslave humans in this world. We were ordered to take it away from this world. We studied it before coming.

It's not like you, who dares to come here to die without knowing anything.

I'm not bragging, but if I want, I can turn you into the most obedient little cutie and have you take off your clothes and run around to attract the attention of those assassins.

Okay, what scares you is not as scary as you think.

It's nothing more than a psychic blast that turns you into a drooling fool when you're about to do something bad, so you'd better watch your hands. "

Zha Kang glanced at the two teammates beside him, held the golden apple and swaggered forward to find the nearest passage out of the sewer.

And Wesker looked at Constantine and the golden apple in his hand with a suspicious look. The "body manipulation" that went straight into the soul just now cannot be faked. It seems that Team K really has something he doesn't know about. strength.

From this point of view, they should not be deceiving him by going to the great temple. Maybe there is really a way to leave this world there?

"Mason, we managed to scare him."

Zha Kang had been observing Wesker's actions. When he saw the sunglasses man following them twenty meters behind them and leaving the sewer without saying a word, the dark wizard let out a sigh of relief.

He said to Mason through the Hell Eye collar:

"What adventure did you encounter? How come you suddenly became so good at these things?"

"I just accidentally found some lost knowledge, John. It's not as magical as you thought."

Mason, who was still in the suitcase factory, was flying with his hands and fingers. The original technological rifle had been reassembled by him, and instead of having fewer components on the table, there were more.

Apparently Mason used the Isu knowledge he had just learned to modify the gun based on his understanding, adding a strengthening entry of [Quick Charging] and [Energy Gathering] to it.

While he put his new precision rifle on his shoulder and made a shooting motion, he told his teammates:

"When you get close to the rift in the great temple, don't rush in. Just wait for me outside. The Isu have disguised the temple, and there is probably an Assassin Saint ambushing it inside.

We will proceed to the next step after we meet up.

In addition, if you unfortunately meet a black-haired girl wearing a suit and pigtails on the road, with a gold bracelet on her wrist, and her accent is "Malaka", don't resist and don't try to flirt with her.

You do whatever she asks you to do.

If she attacks you just tell her, 'Hephaestus wants to talk to the Falconer,' and she will understand. "

"So who is it?"

Zha Kang asked in confusion:

"Is he the leader of those damn Assassin Saints? He sounds like a very dangerous person to you?"

"Human? No, that's not a human, John."

Mason sighed and said:

"Barbara should have told you what we discovered. There are some things in this world that cannot be measured by common sense. You can just understand her as a 'living demigod' like Wonder Woman.

The only difference between the two is that based on Malaika's elder sister's combat experience and the degree to which she is strengthened by the Isu bloodline at this time, it is estimated that she can press Diana Prince to the ground and beat her.

It is impossible for us to leave this world without her permission.

So you'd better pray that the two-thousand-year-old sister is nice enough to us. "

"Depend on!"

Zha Kang cursed and complained:

"We are here to support Mr. Hunter. There has been a massacre like this happening here, and the third instructor can't think of a way to save him?

Let us, a group of pioneering explorers, fight against a world and a powerful demigod!

Those guys really have no conscience. "

"It's better to wait for death than to wait for them to come to the rescue. At least death will come sooner or later."

Mason complained:

“Or is our great John Constantine willing to pin his hopes of survival on the consciences of a group of world-spanning villains who may or may not have them?

And to be honest, based on what I know about the Isu and Sister Malaka now, even if Mr. Hunter does come, it is not certain whether that guy can escape unscathed.

This is their home court.

In short, you should act as soon as possible. I will prepare some weapons here and go to join you.

John, take care of Barbara and Erbuk.

This kind of desperate situation is when you come into play. Isn't that why I invited you to join Team K? Work harder, it will be in your favor to get out alive this time.

Really, I'm not going to lie to you. "

With kind words and words to reassure Zha Kang that he should work hard, Mason frowned after the communication was cut off. He didn't expect that there would be an A-level personnel involved in this matter.

"If it's Albert Wesker, then this little water gun probably won't work very well."

Mason looked at the technological rifle he had just modified in his hand, and after thinking about it, he felt that even using kinetic energy bullets to hit "Virus Man" would be a bit unsightly.

He needs a little more deterrent "heavy firepower."

The next moment, Mason's eyes fell on the dark anti-Superman suit that was hanging by a few chains in the modification workshop. This thing was still in the process of being repaired after beating up the Cleaners in the old Spider World.

Mason had a lot of thoughts about it.

But before, he was always unable to put it into practice due to insufficient knowledge reserves. But now that he has the Isu inheritance, he is full of Isu ideas and takes this opportunity to overhaul the armor.

Engineering was originally at Level 5, but now the [Ingenuity] talent unlocked by Isu inheritance has been added a little more.

Level 5+1 engineering is just enough to complete the technical level of transforming the Anti-Superman suit. It happened that his beloved Batmobile was blown up by John Wick using Isu weapons, so he removed the weapons installed in the car and added them to his own. on the armor.

Then use the Isu people's unique understanding of energy circulation to rearrange the energy system.

As for its missing energy core

"Shua"

With a flick of Mason's finger, the Ark reactor jumped into the palm of his hand. Although the palladium collection operation of Kite and Captain Jack in the world of Hogwarts was not over yet, Mason had a palladium plate on hand that could start the reactor.

Unfortunately, the all-out battle is estimated to only last about 2-5 hours.

But the good news is that the skill judgment of the Isu bloodline is +1, which allows Mason to unlock the production blueprint for the reactor at hand. When he has enough time to get enough materials, he can "wholesale" this thing.

Even better!

Use the Isu's superb energy manipulation talents to transform it!

"Well, if I didn't have the ability to repair you now, using you as the 'Heart of Machinery' would be perfect."

Mason stretched out his hand and flicked the broken life-binding rat charm spinning on his fingertips.

This magical item that can give life to all dead things is the most perfect energy source in Mason's mind.

The reason is also very simple.

You see, the number one strategy for mechas is always to destroy the energy source. But if there is no energy source in my mecha, wouldn't this fatal weakness disappear?

This combination of magic and technology is the perfect tactic in Mason's imagination. The only regret is that his jewelry processing skills are now only Lv2 with the blessing of Isu blood.

It is impossible to repair or make twelve talismans.

"Why do you think there are only 24 hours in this day?"

Mason rolled up his sleeves and picked up a strange engineering wrench, walked to the workshop to start overhauling his anti-Superman suit, and complained fiercely:

"Why can't my day be 48 hours? It's not enough to split every minute into two petals. How great would it be if there were two of me?

Hmm?

Two of me?

Yes!

Two of me! Why not?"

The young man blinked and took out the Yin-Yang Tiger Talisman from his pocket.

He suddenly had a bold idea. If he couldn't be strong enough to change the law of time, then it seemed that he could only start from himself.

Now it seems that after Team K escapes from this world alive, the focus of the next stage may be on jewelry processing and inscription branches?

When thinking about the Isu inscription field, which accounts for a large part of Isu knowledge, emmmm, this idea is worth considering.
