In the Marvel Universe: I can summon items from all dimensions.

Chapter 67 Running Away with a Bucket

"Wow, that's amazing?"

Looking at Magneto and the others, who were frozen in place, through the thrown eyeball, Mason exclaimed, "They can even control Omega-level beings? Is this ability really that powerful?"

In his eyes, most of the Brotherhood members were covered in cold sweat, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying in their hallucinations. Only those with some experience or countermeasures against psychic abilities, such as Eric, Wanda, Chaser, and the Black Queen, could remain conscious. However, with most of their companions unable to move, they could not act rashly. In other words, the power of the Moon Star had truly controlled the entire group.

Wow, you're awesome, ladies.

"That's quite normal," said Kuroishi Kasumi, leisurely carrying four men, including Mason, into the academy. "Psychic abilities are just that hard to guard against, you know."

"It seems we need to strengthen our defenses," Mason said. "Otherwise, who knows when—wait, what's that noise?"

An eye under the bushes witnessed a wondrous sight.

A middle-aged woman in the center of the fraternity ranks, who looked somewhat familiar but whom he couldn't quite place, suddenly screamed. In front of her, a pale and cold light was gathering, quickly forming a blurry human shape.

A sudden, inexplicable sense of familiarity spread through my heart.

"?!" Kuroshi Kasumi suddenly turned her head to look, her expression, which was usually not very emotional, showing a mixture of shock and confusion.

"That's... a photon life form?" She gasped in shock, then relaxed a moment later. "Oh, it has nothing to do with the Star of Light. Hmph... boring, you scared me."

Mason stopped joking with her because his eyes were being illuminated by the glowing humanoid figure.

It felt like when Scott energized me before, but many times more intense.

It was just a tiny bit of white light absorbed by his eyeball, yet it aroused an extremely strong sense of longing in him—something that could be compared to the impulse a smoker who hadn't touched a cigarette in a month would feel upon smelling smoke.

It's not a matter of quantity; his energy reserves have hardly increased at all.

That's right, it should be a matter of "quality". That kind of cold white light is a very suitable energy source for him.

Although there is no evidence, Mason instinctively believed that the white light could make him stronger to an unimaginable degree.

I want it, I really want it!

Just as he was sorting out his thoughts, he saw the middle-aged woman suddenly open her eyes and scream hysterically—

"Eric! Wanda! Paris! Kill this thing! Now!"

She pointed at the white, humanoid figure and screamed hysterically, "We can't let it materialize or escape! Otherwise, something terrible will happen!"

error?

However, in the blink of an eye, the three Omega-level mutants attacked simultaneously. Intense psionic light burst from Zhu Shuai's eyes, and a massive amount of energy, invisible to the naked eye, descended upon the white light humanoid figure that was taking shape. In an instant, it shattered its form, and a large amount of almost tangible white light was trapped in the psionic field, losing the possibility of escape and further transformation.

Wanda clapped her hands a beat too late, and a deep red flame ignited in the psionic field, instantly burning the already dissipated white light humanoid into nothingness, as if it had never existed at all.

This left Mason completely dumbfounded.

He instinctively realized something was wrong, but before he could react, Moira suddenly looked around and within two seconds locked his gaze on the eyeball under the bushes dozens of meters away.

"Ciscel???!!!!!"

She pointed in the direction of the eyeball and yelled, "No time to explain! Now! Find the owner of that eyeball right now! And kill him!"

error?

No? Auntie, what's wrong? When did I, Mei, offend you?

Without even a second's hesitation, Mason immediately raised his head and said, "Get me out of here, right now, as far away as possible."

Just kidding. Although we don't know who this aunt is, Zhu Shuai and Wanda just carried out her orders without hesitation. If they had been late, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

As expected, after hearing Moira's order, Zhu Shuai glanced at the eyeball on the ground and immediately looked up to lock onto the direction where Mason was.

It's fucking telepathy!!!

"???"

Black Stone Kasumi was equally bewildered, but the shock didn't hinder her professionalism. Without a second's delay, she conjured an entrance to another dimension, tossed the three police officers aside, and then, carrying Mason, leaped inside—

The process went smoothly, and Mason was immediately taken into a space where there was nothing but endless crimson mist. The discomfort of suddenly being freed from the gravitational environment made him dizzy, but fortunately he recovered quickly.

Then, Heishi Xiayu beckoned backward, and the spatial rift began to heal rapidly.

But it got stuck halfway through healing.

When she looked back, she saw a layer of red light shining on the outline of the crack.

"—What's going on?" she exclaimed in shock. "What kind of interference is this? I can't close the portal?!"

Mason turned around and saw a scene that caused his heart and lungs to stop.

Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff had somehow appeared at the entrance of the spatial rift, peering inside with what might have been curiosity, but which Mason found terrifying. She then quickly locked onto Blackrock Mistress and Mason, who were fleeing at top speed.

It's chaos magic, now we're doomed.

Then, Wanda took a step into the spatial rift—just one step—and she appeared less than a hundred meters behind Mason and Blackrock Wings, raising her hands and conjuring a deep red energy sphere.

"this----?!"

Kuroshi Kasumi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, but just like before, the change in her emotions did not affect her actions. She flung Mason backward and then suddenly raised her hand, shooting out a destructive beam that was much more powerful than when she attacked the Red Tank.

The near-light-speed attack arrived in front of Wanda immediately, but an even more terrifying scene unfolded.

What was clearly a destructive beam of light, a mixture of high-energy particle streams and plasma, transformed into countless ribbons as it approached Wanda—the kind of nylon fabric you can buy in bulk for a few dollars in a store. In the weightless space, these ribbons fluttered in different directions, none of them touching Wanda's body.

—Reality itself has been distorted by her.

In the main Marvel Universe, Wanda's chaos magic is the earliest primordial light in the cognition of the universe and random events, a strange and impossible flame of life—this may be hard for many to understand, so let's start with the conclusion. In short, Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff can easily transform matter, modify causality, create things out of thin air, and distort spacetime and the laws of physics, among many other things that are even more powerful than the gods of the universe.

Although we don't know exactly what chaos magic in this world is, it seems to at least involve reality distortion, which is clearly something that a super beast can't handle. It might be more like calling Ultraman over.

Looking around, they saw that Zhu Shuai had also entered the spatial rift and was charging towards them.

It's all over.

At this critical moment, Mason remained calm and collected, his mind not clouded.

After a moment's thought, he sent a message to Heishi Xiayu.

"You go first, they're here to see me."

"Huh? I'm a mercenary dispatched to protect my guests' safety, how could I possibly run away beforehand? Watch me unleash my true form and fight these two bastards!"

"If we stay here, two of us will die. If I'm alone, I might be able to escape."

"There's no time to explain, just do as I say."

"it is good."

Kuroshi Kasumi readily agreed.

Then, Zhu Shuai arrived and unleashed a terrifying psionic energy wave at her—

It hit the target squarely, and in an instant, Heishi Xiayu's body was blown to pieces.

But she didn't die. In the end, what was exposed was just her mimicry body. The true form of the super beast Baksim was still hidden in a deeper space bubble.

Wanda and Zhu Shuai seem unaware of this fact.

Mason breathed a slight sigh of relief, then raised his hands and said to the two plague gods who were charging towards him, "At least let me die knowing why—I've never seen you before, so why are you fighting so hard to kill me?"

"6

'

"?"

Wanda paused for a moment, then raised her hand, pointing the crimson energy ball at Mason: "Moira's prophecy is not wrong; you must die here."

Moira? Moira Marktagt? The mutant with the ability to reincarnate?

what?

Is this the mess I made in the future?

Grass (a modal particle)!

"I see."

Faced with two Omega-level mutants, Mason didn't know if his method would work, but he had no choice but to try it out.

After extracting some information, he didn't hesitate to open the door to the center of the galaxy deep in his mind before Wanda could launch her attack, and then rushed in with the ferocity of a desperate escape.

In the next instant, he completely disappeared from the spot.

Wanda: "?"

Zhu Shuai: "?"

-

Regardless of what Zhu Shuai and Wanda thought when they saw the cooked duck flap its wings and fly away, for Mason, the moment he stepped through the door, he felt as if he had become an autumn leaf, swept away by an unimaginably large gale to an unknown destination.

If his senses hadn't undergone multiple trials, he would definitely have been vomiting while floating—that would have been a rather unpleasant sight.

Where am I supposed to take this?

The hole that opened this door just gave birth to Ah Zu. Does that mean he's going to drift into the world of The Boys?

That's fine too. Anyway, that world is full of mediocre people from top to bottom. Although there are a few guys with more troublesome abilities, just avoid them. In any case, there won't be any scary stories like the Scarlet Witch coming at you.

—Speaking of which, I hope she won't come over via the internet connection?

Mason was startled by a terrifying thought, but quickly relaxed.

So be it. As the saying goes, "When a person dies, the bird flies to the sky." I've already done my best. If I still get caught—then I might as well die. It's not the first time anyway, so it won't matter.

In the boundless chaotic storm, Mason could not see anything in front of him, could not hear anything, lost his sense of distance, and even his ability to distinguish time scales became dulled. He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally felt that the surrounding environment had become calmer.

Everything gradually calmed down, and a strange sense of peace spread through his heart.

Mason found it hard to describe the feeling at that moment; it was as if he had fallen into a huge, warm embrace—yes, someone or something had "salvaged" him from the boundless storm of chaos and brought him to a safe place.

What's going on here?

After the surrounding situation had completely calmed down, Mason slowly opened his eyes.

The sight before him startled him—

He found himself standing in a boundless, pitch-black space, with a huge sphere in front of him, a mixture of light blue, dark green, and earthy yellow, that felt both strange and familiar.

—Yes, this is Earth.

Although it differs slightly from the photos I've seen in scientific publications, this is indeed Earth—and in the distance, there's a much smaller, pale planet, which is clearly the Moon.

ha?

Is this how you travel between worlds? There's clearly something wrong with the spatial coordinates! And if my physical body is in outer space, why didn't I turn into an ice sculpture or suffocate?!

Mason, who had never experienced anything like this before, looked around in a panic, but saw nothing.

Once I heard it...

"please----"

In the pitch-black starry sky, something unseen carried a gentle voice into Mason's heart.

"Remove—the harmful thorns—"

Although the voice was very gentle, it was also much louder than Mason had imagined. He even felt that the other person was bending down with all their might and carefully controlling their strength to transmit the information to him. Even so, the overwhelming amount of information made it very difficult for him to decipher, and he could only distinguish a few key pieces of information.

"Help me, and you can get what you need."

The general idea is that this entity wants to entrust him with something, such as getting rid of someone or disposing of something, in order to obtain something he needs.

The meaning was quite straightforward, but the most crucial question—"what exactly needs to be eliminated"—was something he didn't understand—or rather, couldn't comprehend.

—Although I don’t quite understand it, it seems to be a very troublesome matter. After all, the scale of this unknown entity is so large that I can’t even get a glimpse of its entirety. It’s hard to imagine what such an entity would need to ask someone else to do.

Could it be something like blowing up Mars or strangling the extraterrestrial demons that came to cause trouble? (Panic)

The problem is—it seems I don't really know how to refuse?

Although the other person seems gentle and mild-mannered, who can say for sure that they are safe? What if you offend them and they just come over and slap you to death?

It seems like we've escaped one danger only to fall into another.

After some thought, Mason decided that it was more appropriate to focus on immediate security.

So he nodded in agreement.

"————Thank you————" the voice replied, "During the commission, please————do as you please————I will provide you————whatever you need————

As soon as he finished speaking, Mason suddenly felt a powerful pull coming from the blue planet in front of him. He only had time to let out a scream before he was pulled down.

"Ughh ...

His senses gradually returned, and after descending a certain distance, he felt the strong wind on his face. The fall, which far exceeded the record for skydiving altitude, made it impossible for him to even open his eyes. He could only roughly confirm his landing point through the corner of his eye while tumbling.

Asia, Japan.

The outlines of the ground and town were rapidly approaching him, and Mason instinctively closed his eyes.

Just as I was bracing for the impact, I only felt the sudden and abrupt shift from movement to stillness.

error?

He slowly opened his eyes and found himself sitting in a dark bedroom with a computer in front of him. A chat box was displayed on the screen. For a moment, he had the illusion that he had become one of those villains in movies who liked to save electricity.

The next moment, he smelled a subtle sweet and fishy smell and a slightly strong smell of gunpowder. Turning his head slightly, he could also find a pistol with a silencer on the side of the laptop.

Mason:

'

Okay, okay, you're pulling this trick on me again, aren't you?

He looked back and, because he was already prepared, the body lying beside the bed, clearly killed by a gunshot to the head, did not frighten him.

Well, some things seem novel the first time you see them, but become a bit boring the second time.

Mason sighed, then stood up, found the light switch to solve the problem of darkness in the room, and then began to investigate the situation while rubbing his temples.

The good news is that I didn't get shot in the head this time, so in a sense, I guess I've improved.

After a while, Mason sat back down in his chair with a deep expression, trying his best to suppress the surging urge to complain. After a long silence, he finally let out a soft sigh.

Just like last time, there are two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

Let's start with the bad news—after arriving in this world, he lost contact with Kuroishi Kasumi. It seems that the only things he could bring when crossing the portal were his personal clothing and the magical tools he had extracted from the other world; he couldn't bring himself with him.

Considering that at least 99% of his strength was in her hands, suddenly losing contact with her was obviously terrible news—but the portal to the other world was as he had expected; if he wanted, he could travel through it again at any time and return to the Marvel world.

——————————————————————————————————————

But going back now seems no different from courting death? Besides, he just accepted a commission from some unknown entity. If he runs away without doing anything, who knows if he'll be found by the internet and slapped to death.

Then came the good news: he knew where he was and what his current situation was.

After searching the room, he found a diary in a briefcase, which contained detailed information about his "current identity".

His name is still Mason, but his identity is that of a member of the "Black Organization" codenamed "Konek". To sum up his job, he does fieldwork and kill people. This is the world of Detective Conan, and he has become a senior employee of a distillery—no, I mean, a distillery with a distillery name.

Like a mission log, the diary meticulously records "Konek's" life story:

Born into an orphanage, she worked her way through university and was recruited by the Black Organization as a member. After receiving assassin training, she made a living by doing missions. To put it in perspective, she was roughly equivalent to Chianti or Cohen, who were quite versatile and used to going on missions alone. Everything that a member of the Black Organization should know was recorded in that diary, to an absurd degree.

Therefore, Mason suspects that his current identity may have been created by that unknown entity to help him better fulfill his mission.

—That's not some kind of world consciousness or something, is it?
