Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 618 27. Parasitic Eve

"I knew it would be nothing good if you summoned me like this!"

The red devil Asazo, who was temporarily called by Damon to top the tank, can perform rapid space jumps like a tetanus, while straightening his collar, complained endlessly:

"Where am I going to do my best this time? To face an evil god of a different kind? Do it!"

"Don't complain, man."

Damon put his arm around the shoulder of the Red Devil, and he said slowly:

"You are also a member of the 'Children of Hell', and you have to make some contributions to the organization. You see, Asazo, compared to other people, you are weaker, and you don't have a strong backing. If you want to get ahead, you have to work hard... If you can rescue Merlin, he owes you a favor, and now he is the titular leader of us 'children of hell', which is really a good deal."

"I believe you guys have ghosts!"

Asazo curled his lips and said:

"You devils are so bad!"

Damon shrugged, and he didn't say anything more, but since Asazo responded, it meant that the demonic mutant had already accepted this life-threatening task.

This is the meaning of an organization's existence. No matter how strong each person's ability is, it is limited. Only by cooperating with each other can we go further.

Dimon looked around, and quietly handed a black handbag to Clark beside him, saying:

"Take this, big man."

The hazy half-magic lowered his voice:

"Xuanlan asked me to give this to you. She said that if things go into the worst situation, she will give this thing to Merlin. But I advise you not to touch the things inside. I can feel that there is a quite Scary stuff."

"Ok."

Clark didn't ask what was in the handbag. Although he had only seen it a few times, he believed in Ms. Xuanlan's judgment.

that lady...

How to put it, it always gives people a feeling of reassurance.

"You'd better bring him back."

Dimon put his hands in his pockets and said to Clark:

"We fellows from hell have a contract with him, and it would be too disappointing if he died before the contract was fulfilled."

"You have a little faith in Merlin, just like me."

Clark flexed his shoulders and said:

"I don't think he will die at the hands of an inexplicable alien evil god."

Damon shrugged, he showed a weird smile, then took a step back, and entered the mode of watching the play quietly.

On the other side of the Black Stone, the mutant Wanda didn't seem to have made too much preparations. Unlike her worry-free younger brother, she was a mutant who was proficient in energy projection. The crimson energy wrapped around her fingertips , is her best defensive and offensive weapon.

"Are you ready?"

Queen Medusa and the silent Black Bolt exchanged glances. The way the couple communicated was very interesting. Most of the time, they seemed to be in eye contact, but in fact, Medusa and Black Bolt communicated through Telepathy between each other in dialogue.

The relationship between these two people seems to be very good.

Facing Medusa's question, Clark, who had changed into a Kryptonian combat uniform, nodded, and Wanda beside him also gave an OK gesture with a blank expression.

"Remember, you must go and return quickly...Remember the location where you entered the cage world, and we will open it again in 15 minutes."

The Inhuman Queen told Wanda and the Red Devil who stepped forward:

"The information inherited by Attilan does not record whether the ability of the hive is also effective for mutants. If several people on the other side of the Black Stone are infected and controlled, you should retreat as quickly as possible."

"Can't that control be lifted?"

Clark frowned and asked:

"If there are really bad situations, are we just going to give them up?"

"The scriptures of the ancestors say that the infection can be relieved."

Medusa whispered:

"But only a special alien 'lash' can cure the thought infection that originated from the hive. Unfortunately, we have been looking for him for a long time, but until now there is still no news."

"So if they are really unfortunate enough to be manipulated by the hive, then leaving them in that world of exile is the best way to deal with it."

The queen explained:

"If we really take that step, we have to adopt the second plan and gamble on luck. If we can find the 'lash' before the hive devours their flesh and blood, then they will still be saved."

"Ok."

Clark nodded with a serious expression. In front of him, the silent Black Bat King opened his hands and touched the black stone. He seemed to be sensing the vibration frequency of the black stone itself. After a while, he withdrew his fingers and nodded to the people behind him.

Everyone except Clark and Wanda quickly boarded a small boat and sailed away from this deserted island. On the sea hundreds of meters away, Black Bolt King opened his mouth, and the tuning fork on his forehead was constantly buzzing. Sparks of electric current danced, and harsh voices came out of his mouth. The high-speed oscillating energy caused the sea water around him to boil.

The frequency of the sharp sound entered the ultra-high frequency that ordinary people cannot perceive in less than 1 second. The frequency was extremely high, and the ultrasonic wave full of energy precisely hit the black stone standing on the small island in front, just like inserting a key In the door lock, the next moment, the solid black stone was opened again.

"crash"

Like the sound of sea water beating against the rocks, in front of Clark and Wanda, the solid black stone transformed into liquid in an instant, and the ominous black liquid rolled and rushed in all directions. Wanda raised her hand and applied the crimson energy shield on On himself, Clark and the Red Devil, the next moment, under the gaze of everyone on the sea, the figures of the three rescuers were engulfed by the black tide.

"buzz"

Black Bat King closed his mouth, and the high-speed vibrating energy stopped immediately, and the remaining sound waves spread to the sea surface, stirring up rings of swaying ripples around the small island.

"click"

The half-demon Damon held a pocket watch decorated with skulls in his hand and started counting. He watched the liquid black stones on the island quickly regroup into a solid body. He asked softly:

"I myself have done some insignificant research on such mystical creations. I know that generally speaking, things like this have a specific activation method... His Majesty the Black Bolt King is amazing. He can unlock the black stone I am not surprised to be shackled, but aren't you curious?"

"How was this stone activated before you came?"

A gleam flashed in Damon's eyes, and he said softly:

"In this matter, apart from you and the unlucky Merlin who got involved by accident, there seems to be a third party involved. And judging from the situation when we arrived at the scene just now, the disappearance of them is not so much an accident. , I am more willing to believe that this is a carefully arranged trap."

The half-demon let out a deep laugh:

"Someone is trying to use your evil god to deal with Merlin, Your Majesty and the Queen, there is no doubt about it."

Queen Medusa and Black Bolt looked at each other. They didn't answer Damon's guess, but people like them can see the truth clearly even without Damon's analysis.

But the answer to this mystery is not important compared to the life and death of the entire alien race. What is important is that the hive itself, the ancient evil god, must not be released!

On the other side, when the Blackstone Gate was opened again, Merlin, who had already moved to the edge of the desert in the cage world, suddenly raised his head. In this weathered ruin, with the help of Victor, the spirit of the raven, who was constantly flying and cruising, Merlin saw At the place where they fell before, a blue arc of light flashed again in the sky.

"They're here!"

He stood up and said to Diana beside him:

"I'll meet them, and you protect them both."

"Ah."

Diana nodded, and Merlin's figure disappeared in place under the distorted light of the Displacement Curse.

"Is my sister here?"

Behind Diana, leaning against the wall, the weak Crystal raised her head, she was still wearing Merlin's breathing mask, her pale face was full of worry.The young man who was sitting on the side taking care of her, Kuaiyin hurriedly stretched out his hand and held the crystal, he comforted:

"Don't worry, your sister is the queen, she shouldn't be so reckless."

"They can't come."

Crystal coughed violently, and the princess who was tortured by the withered elements of another world said with difficulty:

"The hive is hiding in this world. It is like an invisible devil. Any stranger who enters here will not have... Cough cough, water, give me some water."

Quicksilver picked up the water glass next to it, which was the magic spring water created by Merlin with the water-calling spell. He carefully supported the crystal, then took off the breathing mask, and sent the water to her mouth.

After drinking the water, Kuaiyin put the breathing mask on the crystal face again. Her Royal Highness was very tired. She rested her head on Kuaiyin's arms and held Kuaiyin's arms with both hands. This action stunned the young man Pietro After a while, but soon, he hugged Crystal's waist with his other hand, making her lie more comfortably.

Looking at this scene, Diana felt a little moved by the two young people's mutual support.

Sure enough, real feelings will be born only after going through hardships together. If they can get out from here, Crystal and Kuaiyin will probably become real lovers.

Young people, no matter at any time, they always pursue romance like this.

"Swish"

A few seconds later, Merlin returned to the ruins of the desert. Behind him, there was the second batch of rescuers who entered this world.

"younger brother!"

Wanda, a mutant with crimson energy all over her body, saw Pietro sitting on the edge of the ruins at a glance. She walked quickly to her brother and caressed his face nervously. After losing their mother, their siblings depended on each other. Although the idiot brother is very disturbing, he is indeed Wanda's last relative.

"Don't worry, sister."

Kuaiyin was still holding the crystal, unable to get up and hug his sister, he made a face to Wanda with a playful smile, and said:

"Look, I'm fine. Although I have a little problem, I said that I can really protect myself."

"When I go back, I must tie you up with a rope."

Wanda said to her brother angrily:

"You are so naughty! Maybe I have to send you to Utopia... Hey, who is this girl? She is very beautiful. She is different from your old girlfriends who smoked, drank and got tattoos."

"Shhhhhh!"

The shyness and nervousness unique to young people appeared on Kuaiyin's face. He winked at his sister vigorously, probably to change the subject. Kuaiyin took off his delicate metal pendant from his neck. He lowered his voice, saying yes sister said:

"When we first came in, that Merlin, that weird man asked me what was my relationship with Eric Lanshere? Sister, I know you keep looking for our father, tell me honestly, he... is Isn't it the Magneto who has disappeared?"

Wanda's expression changed a bit, she turned her head to look at Merlin who was talking to others, she turned her head and said to her younger brother:

"This question, wait until we go out to talk about it."

"The hive is in this world, hidden in the sand and dust in the desert. It can transform into a very small parasite, which is hard to guard against."

Merlin said to Clark and the Red Devil with a serious face:

"This is its home field."

"Well, Ms. Medusa said the same thing."

While relaying the words of the Inhuman Queen, Clark handed the black handbag that Damon gave him to Merlin, who took it with a normal expression and put it in his pocket.

"She asked us to tell you that leaving this world is the first priority, and the threat of the hive can be discussed later."

The Red Devil looked at the barren world in front of him, and said ironically in a disdainful tone:

"Although those aliens pretend to be calm, I can feel that they have a strong fear of the hive. They seem to intend to continue to maintain this exile and seal, and wait for the hive to die naturally."

"It's the smart thing to do."

Merlin pointed to the weathered and disfigured human skeletons piled up on the edge of the ruins, and he said softly:

"The hive can live for so long because the damn Hydras will open the black stone every once in a while and send some 'sacrifices' to this world. Without the maintenance of these flesh and blood sacrifices, the hive would have died long ago gone."

"They're thinking and doing the right thing, and we don't even have to fight the hive...it'll be defeated by itself."

"Ten minutes left."

The mutant Wanda on the other side stood up, and she said to Merlin:

"After 9 minutes, the Inhuman King will open the Black Stone again, and we can leave here."

"Black Bolt is here too?"

Merlin's expression changed a bit. He still remembers how Black Bolt standing on the surface of the moon used his own power to easily tear apart the Cree Starfleet in 1994 among the stars.

That alien king had the most terrifying destructive power Merlin had ever seen.

"Yes, it is the Black Stone opened by Black Bat King."

Wanda noticed the concern in Merlin's eyes, and she asked:

"Any questions?"

"It's nothing."

Merlin and Diana who stood aside exchanged glances, he glanced at the crystal, and said softly:

"It just occurred to me that, maybe, we might need a backup plan..."
