Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 1574 28. Being a Torch

Cosmic Forge fulfilled the promise he made with Merlin.

At the cost of its own collapse, it forcibly drew the flame of the furnace core out of the combustion chamber, and helped Merlin ignite Saibo's body, completing an impossible extreme counter-kill.

It has fulfilled its duties, and now, it's time for Merlin to fulfill his oath.

The One isn't worried about Merlin reneging on his contract.

It is impossible for Raven to break the contract.

He wants the stars to enter the real era, and the reconstruction of reality has not yet been completed. To restart the stars, the melting pot of the universe must be ignited again.

And in the real world, without the support of the cosmic melting pot, it is impossible for the stars to function.

Therefore, Merlin must fulfill the promise!

He had to repair the damage to The One, and he had to restore the old furnace, fueled by firewood, to like-new condition.

Only in this way can the stars that have finally won their freedom last longer in the future era.

Just like a good car must have a perfect engine.

Therefore, when the Merlin family was in a bitter scene, The One didn't urge it. It was like a bad old man, watching the quarrel between the couple in front of it.

It even feels like fun.

"You think you're great, don't you?"

At this time, Carol no longer has the heroic appearance of a superhero. She burst into tears, just like a delicate woman. She said to Merlin:

"You think it's worth sacrificing yourself for a group of stars, don't you? Have you considered me...what you mean to them, and what you mean to me?"

"I've lost you once, and I can't afford to lose you a second time!"

The mistress threw herself into Merlin's arms, holding the raven tightly, she screamed:

"I won't allow it!"

"I won't allow you to sacrifice yourself just like that! You've done enough for us!"

Beside the two, Tony, who had just woken up, had a sore nose.

Playboy has gone through too much, and now he has to watch Merlin restart the stars at the expense of himself. This feeling of sitting and watching his friend die without being able to stop it is really too bad.

He couldn't stand it anymore.

Beside Tony, Tunmei with her hips on her hips had a strange expression on her face.

I didn't feel anything during the fierce battle just now. After relaxing now, Tunmei unexpectedly found that the cosmic tapeworm in her stomach began to become active unexpectedly.

Probably because the satiety reached 100%, it entered the active period again.

And this time, Tunmei felt bad.

An inappropriate adjective.

Tunmei felt like she was going to give birth.

Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's like a hen feeling like she's about to lay an egg.

She looked around secretly, then whistled, moved quietly, and quickly hid in the core of the cosmic furnace, although she wanted to see how the quarrel between Merlin and Carol would end.

But it's too shameful for an unmarried mother to give birth, how can this kind of thing be seen by other people?

"We have to."

Merlin held Carol in his arms, and he gently persuaded:

"My body burns, my soul burns, but that doesn't mean I die, Carol, I'm just stripped of impurities and reborn in flames."

"I'm going to be truly one with the stars."

"I will disappear, but I will also be everywhere."

Merlin stroked Carol's long hair, and his voice became softer.

他 说:

"Imagine, my Carol, in the age to come, when you take our daughter into the park in the morning and come home in the evening..."

"I am the sun that shines on you, I am the breeze that blows you, I am the earth that carries you, and I am the lawn that walks with you."

"Don't cry for me, Carol."

"I am by your side, I will always be by your side, and I will not leave."

"Every time you look back, I'll be there, you can see it, you can feel it, I'll be there."

"Whenever, wherever..."

Carol couldn't listen at all.

She held Merlin stubbornly, as if holding her last treasure, she said:

"I don't want that! I just want you, I just want you by my side... I want to be selfish once, let me be selfish once, okay? Please."

Merlin shook his head.

Pointing to the stars in the distance where light and darkness blend, he said to Carol:

"Look at this group of stars, my lady, you have traveled in it countless times, and you know how many creatures there are in this group of stars, and they are all worthy of existence."

"We've fought all the way here to keep them alive, long-lived, those beautiful lights of life, those warriors who died for us, those who were waiting for good news."

"You know, those beautiful things, those that make people feel warm..."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he kissed Carol lightly on the forehead, he said:

"And Clark, Shazam and the others, you have the heart to let them sleep forever, so that Clark will never see his son grow up, and your beloved Raven and Lorna will never be resurrected."

"Just because I..."

Merlin says:

"Do you think keeping me in this way will make me feel happy?"

"Let you and I live in pain and self-blame every day, is this the future life you want to live with me?"

Carol pursed her lips.

She knew Merlin better than anyone, and she knew she couldn't argue.

"good."

Merlin's voice was trembling, and this parting was extremely painful for him. He kissed Carol's hair for the last time, and he said:

"Fulfill my morality, this is the path I must practice."

"It's time for my story to end, and if it has to end, I want you to put the end to my life... Remember?"

"I asked you to promise me one thing, and you promised."

Merlin wiped away Carol's tears with his hands, and he said with a smile:

"Send me off with a smile, wish me a smooth journey, and pray that we will meet again in the real warm world, okay?"

"Ah."

Carol nodded with a sob.

She wanted to say something, but her throat was choked up, and the tears kept streaming down, so she could only maintain this delicate expression.

This is an expression that rarely appears on her body.

"Come on, everyone."

Merlin took Carol's hand and extended his hand to Elsa. He nodded to everyone behind him. Under their gaze, the three couples slowly walked into the core of the furnace.

At the moment of entering the furnace, Merlin looked back at Tony and said:

"Tony, don't forget to snap your fingers and bring those innocents back. Then, tell them for me that the era of suffering is over."

"The promised bright future has arrived!"

"Ok!"

Tony stretched out his hand, clenched it into a fist, imitating the posture of the Asgardian, and pounded hard on his chest.

He said to Merlin in a hoarse voice:

"Bon voyage, Raven! It's an honor... an honor to be your friend and brother!"

"I'm honored too."

Merlin waved to Tony, and he led his wives into the furnace.

Outside the furnace, Qin curled her lips. She looked around and found that the pale Tunmei was secretly giving Tony a baby who didn't know where she came from.

Tunmei said to Tony viciously:

"Take care of him...Tony Stark, one day, I will come to pick him up."

Tony looked blankly at the baby in his arms. The baby was able to open its eyes just after it was born, and it had a pair of big purple eyes exactly like Tunmei's.

He looked at Tunmei, and said:

"Uh, does he have a name?"

"No, I didn't get up in time."

Tunmei looked at the door that slowly opened in front of her eyes, leading to beyond the stars. It was the door that her father opened for her to take her away.

She jumped into the door without looking back, and left as if escaping.

She yelled to Tony:

"Let's just call him 'Merlin', in memory of my good friend, alright... see you later!"

Phoenix Girl also took advantage of this opportunity to jump into the opened gate of stars. She no longer has nostalgia for these stars, and she is eager to see new scenery.

Uh, although the memory markers prepared before didn't come in handy.

But when I think about it carefully, I didn't suffer a disadvantage. The experience that time was pretty good.

"bring it on."

In the combustion chamber of the cosmic furnace, Merlin stood in the warm embers. He stretched out his hand, held Carol's cold hand, and lifted the silver-white lighter to his heart.

He said to Carol who was trembling in front of his eyes:

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt, I won't feel the pain, don't be afraid, pull the trigger, I will only feel your love...Come on, Carol, draw the finale to my story a sum."

"Come, my love."

"I..."

Carol's fingers were shaking violently.

She looked at the smiling Merlin with tears in her eyes, Raven was fearless, he faced his impending death just as he faced every morning in his life.

Ravens are not afraid of death.

Death fears ravens...

"bring it on."

Merlin raised his head, spread his hands, and closed his eyes slightly, he said:

"There is a little heat, and there is a little light."

"Just like a firefly, dancing your own light in the dark without having to wait for the torch."

Having said that, Merlin paused.

His voice became higher and higher, as if the playing of fate had finally come to an end, and it was about to complete the final chapter in the roar of thunder.

His voice resounded across the sky and echoed in the sea of ​​stars, like a declaration.

It's like my own evaluation of myself.

My own summary of myself.

"If there is no torch again..."

"I will burn myself and become the only light..."

"Oh, beautiful new era, beautiful reality, beautiful world..."

"Raven...please!"

"boom"

Carol turned her head away and covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying. She pulled the trigger, and a dazzling flame lit up from her hand.

The flame ignited on Merlin's body, just like the scene when the bodies of Tyrion and Sable were ignited.

light.

Colorful lights burst out in the furnace.

It fills up in a covering way, sweeps across the cracked furnace, and that new force makes The One, an aging cosmic furnace, roar like a young man.

Seeing that Merlin was engulfed in flames, the silver lighter in Carol's hand fell to the ground, and she also collapsed on the ground.

Elsa, who was beside Carol, glanced overhead, and she could feel that the door to beyond the stars was about to close, and that was her last chance to leave.

Miss Bloodstone looked at the flames in front of her eyes, and at her lover in the flames, a stubborn light flashed in her eyes.

In Carol's exclamation, Elsa rushed into the burning furnace like a moth to a flame. At the moment of contact, her body was also ignited.

She also made a decision.

Just like the decision she made when she lost Merlin last time.

"This body, that fiery heart, exists only for you..."

In the scorching flames, Elsa hugged Merlin nostalgicly, she couldn't feel her own burning, she could only feel the peace of mind.

Elsa's actions shocked Carol.

She staggered to her feet, as if she was about to throw herself into the flames.

But he was stopped by Merlin in the fire.

The burning raven waved to Carol, pointing to her belly, and Carol stopped in place.

She stroked her flat stomach, then raised her head, and shouted to Merlin:

"I'll be waiting for you! Merlin!"

"I will always wait for you! Before I get old...must come back!"

The flames were raging like a curtain descending, separating the present world from the deeper world. Merlin melted in the fire. He watched Carol's figure disappear, and he sighed softly.

And Elsa, who was also burning, held Merlin's arm, and she said to Merlin dissatisfied:

"You're so biased, Carol has a baby...I want one too!"

"Okay, if we can survive, I will definitely give you one too."

---------------------

Brilliant light surged from the core of the furnace, and on the surface of the cosmic furnace, Tony holding the baby was gathered by the light.

This playboy could no longer bear the excitement in his heart, and when he was alone, he knelt down on the ground and cried loudly.

Not sad.

Of course there is sadness, but it is more of a vent, a release.

He's been through too much.

He didn't know why he was the one who survived in the end, and not other braver people.

But Tony knew that there was one more thing to do for the rest of his life.

He wants to remember what happened today, and he wants to spread these things to more people.

He wants to permanently engrave today's legend in the history of the earth and the stars for people to praise and cherish.

He wants them to know that all the good things that exist in the future are all sacrificed.

In the warm light, Tony Stark, who was limp on the ground, raised his arm, and as the fingers of the simple infinity glove made of metal slid, the six gemstones burst out the last ray of light.

"come back!"

"In the brave new world, come back, all!"

"In the name of Raven! Raven...please!!!"

"boom"
