Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 923 21. I would rather be broken jade

In a vast high sky, above the ruins of the Trident Tower.

Merlin was hovering in the confined space in the center of the orange halo.

Like a knight waiting for the battle to begin, the orange streamer was still shaking in front of his eyes.

But after Clark and a group of heroes became the host and carrier, most of the orange light flow has dissipated.

And under the call of Dr. Reed, there are still a steady stream of heroes rushing over.

Cowards definitely dare not come, and not everyone is capable of fighting the raven.

Dr. Reed was sifting through the hero information in the large database of S.H.I.E.L.D. He wanted to choose those heroes who could withstand Merlin's attack and would not be killed in one blow, or who had great potential.

In the halo of fluttering orange light, Merlin also saw many acquaintances.

The X-Men, Big Emma, ​​Gambit, Domino, and Psylocke...

She came too, in fact, she was the fastest to come after learning about the situation.

Like everyone else, she was suspended in the orange light, trying her best to absorb the power of the orange light.

Some people also came from the afterlife of the aliens.

Merlin saw Gordon the Eyeless Man, and the Crystal.

The wizards were also called, and although most of them were in Raccoon City to stop the virus from spreading, Merlin's old acquaintances Crow and Aethinus also hovered in the orange light.

Everyone from the Heroes' Association was among them.

Merlin also saw Thalia, the female assassin in white holding Batman's hand tightly in the orange light.

Well, even though she said she had no emotion on her lips, Thalia still cared about Bruce when it came to the critical moment.

Those orange lights can not only give these heroes strength, but can even repair those broken machines, Iron Man's Super Mark, Batman's hidden cards, and the transformable Batmobile.

Even the dead Horus...

This was a pleasant surprise.

"thank you."

Merlin looked up at the sky, and he said to the invisible gambling dogs:

"Thank you for the gorgeous ceremony...perfect for saying goodbye!"

At the other end of the gaming table among the stars, Overlord and Death saw Merlin's smile, and their teeth itch with hatred.

This bastard who knew the answer in advance is really getting more and more arrogant!

And what about Merlin himself?

Just like those heroes who are drawing strength to prepare for battle, he is also sitting and preparing for the big battle that is about to begin.

And his state at this time can really be described as cool.

A crimson arc danced on his body, and there were sparks that elongated and danced like electric arcs at the corners of his eyes.

That is the blessing from the Crimson Lord, it is brute force and endless impact.

The magic power of the Sangong was also surging, and Merlin reached out to form a huge dark cloak, covering the sky and the sun.

On Merlin's body, Beowulf, the symbiote that once again connected to the god of the abyss, also squirmed his body, covering Merlin with a symbiote battle suit dotted with ancient spells.

Even without the divine power of the fearful serpent Kul, the three powers are still the same as before, and they are colliding and balancing each other to form a new trinary power.

But this time, Merlin also has the pure magic power from the ancient three demons to form a framework for the integration of the trinary powers.

Like chains.

Lock the three forces that tend to balance tightly together, so that they will not completely affect Merlin's fighting rhythm under the imbalance of a certain force like in the previous battles.

The ternary system is becoming more and more proficient, and this power itself is also growing rapidly, but unfortunately...

After all, it is borrowed power, and it is too risky to use it.

However, it is not a big problem to use it in the last battle, to fight to the death.

Merlin looked at the two people who appeared behind him, and he stared at Ms. Cassandra, who had a dangerous hairstyle.

他 说:

"Holy Shield Brotherhood? Is this the name of your organization? It sounds very powerful."

"We're really good."

Ms. Cassandra held what looked like a golden apple in her hand, and she said to Merlin:

"We maintain the stability of each era on the timeline, and the little girl Ciri should have revealed something to you..."

"Our existence runs through the history of this world, and there are traces of our activities everywhere."

"Pythagoras, Aristotle, Newton, Einstein, Zhang Heng, Tesla, Nathaniel Richards, Howard Stark..."

"You know, and you don't know, those outstanding people who existed in history, or were erased... are our members!"

The demigod lady said in a deep voice:

"Our mission is the same as yours, Merlin. We are all maintaining order, but the scope of our supervision is wider than you can imagine."

"From the past when everything was first, to the future when everything is annihilated, time... endless time is our battlefield."

"We need someone as good as you..."

Cilia also took a step forward, and the swordsman in white stretched out her hand to pluck her own bangs. She said to Merlin:

"I'm sorry about Qin, Merlin, but we still have a chance to save it. We can go back to the past and help Qin return to her true destiny..."

"Join us, Merlin, your assessment has passed."

Merlin looked at the two friends in front of him, and he heard their persuasion.

He was thinking, and after a few seconds, he glanced at the sky.

Then he shook his head.

"Your proposal is very attractive, Ciri, and Ms. Cassandra. If it was a month ago, I would gladly join you."

"But now, no!"

"why?"

Ciri stepped forward a little excitedly, and she grabbed Merlin's wrist.

Pointing to the dancing orange light behind Merlin, she said:

"We can help you, Merlin, the powerful heroes of the whole world are being molded into your enemies, this is a great sacrifice, I can understand, but you have smarter choices..."

"You don't have to face it all alone."

Hillary advised:

"Such a situation is not often encountered by the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield, but we are capable of handling it. You don't even need to use dangerous power to fight..."

"We're going to sort it all out."

"Stop being stubborn, stop being machismo."

Ciri gritted her teeth and said:

"You are my friend, and I don't want to see you face the most dangerous group of people in the world alone."

"Accept help at this time, no shame!"

"No, Ciri."

Merlin smiled at Ciri.

He could feel the sincerity in the silver female swordsman's words, but he still took a step back.

He shook off Ciri's hand and said:

"You came to help me at this last moment, I am very touched, but what I need is not you to help me deal with all this, and it is impossible for me to join you, as for the reason..."

Merlin shook his head:

"I can't tell you the reason, because you can't bear the terrible reality."

"Your appearance represents a choice. My friends, you may not understand, but if I let you intervene, it means that I will lose my last hope."

"I will lose..."

Merlin said softly:

"And the price of my loss is this world..."

"It will no longer be able to get the freedom it deserves, and even you will be bound to a sad fate."

"I want you to be real!"

Merlin says:

"I wish you really existed..."

"I will give you freedom. This is the only reason why I have appeared here and persisted until now."

"Are we false?"

Ciri screamed. She took Merlin's hand and held it to her face. She said:

"Are you crazy? We're all real...don't be stubborn, you can't handle this."

"Actually..."

Merlin touched Ciri's face, he withdrew his fingers and took a step back.

Hundreds of armor pieces shot out from his hands, spun around Merlin, and stuck to the surface of his body one by one, like a set of black battle armor being reshaped in Merlin's figure.

His hands were covered with gauntlets of sharp claws.

On the shoulders are heavy shoulder armor carved with ravens.

There is also a war helmet shaped like a ghost face on top of the head.

The black cloak swayed, and the reorganized power of the three phases shone on the cloak.

In the gaze of the dark red eyes under the ghost face.

Merlin said in a low voice:

"I think I can..."

"I have made too much preparation for this, and today, I will smash the fate that is entwined in my life, and I will also release you...my friends."

"My courage is given by you."

Ciri was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ms. Cassandra behind her.

The demigod took a step forward, staring at Merlin and the man in the armor, she sighed, and said:

"Do you have to be so stubborn?"

"It has nothing to do with being stubborn."

Merlin turned around, no longer looking at the two behind him, he said:

"One must have some faith in life..."

"Actually, if you really want to help me, just like them, accept the power that punishes me and oppresses me to make choices."

"If you want to help me, become my enemy..."

"You are really crazy!"

Silia reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword behind her, and the space power endowed by the power of the elders made her figure appear ethereal.

she screamed:

"I will stop you, I will bring you back! Elsa is still waiting for you...I can't watch you die!"

"Swish"

The figure of the white-clothed swordsman turned into a dancing phantom, split into dozens at the same time, and chopped down towards Merlin.

"boom"

Merlin held out his hand back.

In the jump of the dark red lightning, under the call of this set of armor that stored hundreds of mutant abilities, white light that decomposed burst out from between the Merlins, smashing those illusions like bubbles.

In the beating of the sharp blade, Merlin's fingers danced, and precisely clamped the blade that Xilia had cut.

The power of the elder attached to the blade was shaken away.

The long sword buzzed endlessly, and Shirley's expression also became quite exciting at this moment.

"Look... Ciri."

Merlin said softly:

"You are no longer my opponent, so don't worry about hurting me."

"I have made up my mind, today."

"I challenge them, I will no longer be bound by them, I will no longer live as a puppet!"

"My life is not a game to be manipulated, nor is it a joke full of mischief... Your life is the same. No one should make fun of other people's lives!"

"So, today... I would rather be broken!"

"Not for nothing!"

Merlin held Ciri's blade, and as the swordswoman screamed, she was restrained by the massive magnetic force attached to Merlin's armor.

He was held in Merlin's arms like a princess.

Ciri struggled, but was thrown into the orange light in front of him by Merlin.

As if being thrown into a glass box, Ciri frantically patted the orange light like a drowning person.

She glared at Merlin with anger in her eyes.

"I will apologize."

Merlin reached out to take off his helmet, and he waved to Ciri, saying:

"If we ever meet again, I will definitely apologize."

After speaking, Merlin looked back at Ms. Cassandra behind her.

He turned sideways, made a "please" gesture to the demigod lady, and said:

"Ma'am, help me!"

"Insanity!"

Ms. Cassandra stared at Merlin. The elder who had lived for more than 2400 years looked at Merlin's armor, and the power in the armor that was being reorganized and becoming stable and balanced.

That amazing power.

She yelled, then coughed again.

She compared her strength with Merlin's at this time. She looked at Ciri who was struggling in the orange light, and asked:

"If I refuse, will you forcefully throw me into that light too?"

"Correct."

A strange smile appeared on Merlin's face, and he said:

"Although it's not polite to take action against elders, but you can also see, ma'am, I really need help now..."

"For the sake of your image, I think we can skip the boring fight and jump straight to the final step."

"Please, ma'am, this is to save the world..."

"Hmph, Merlin."

Ms. Cassandra undid her long braids and tied a single ponytail behind her head.

She walked towards the orange light, and when passing by Merlin, she stretched out her finger and pointed at Merlin's chest, she said:

"In a while, I will definitely teach you a lesson! Those 'gods' back then didn't dare to talk to me like that!"

"I'm looking forward to it too."

Merlin responded with a smile:

"I also want to see how strong the god-slaying heroes were in their heyday, ma'am, those lights can help you regain your strength, maybe they can also remind you of the past..."

"So, enjoy today's battle to the fullest."

Cassandra smiled, and she walked up to the orange light.

She stretched out her fingers and touched the light.

The next moment, the sound of a giant beast swallowing water resounded in the sky, and those swaying orange lights poured into Ms. Cassandra's body like a sea tide, like a dry sponge absorbing water crazily.

In an instant, those rays of light were only one-fifth of the original.

She alone absorbs as much light as the entire X-Men.

From this, it can be seen how powerful this old demigod was in his heyday...

As expected of Zeng Tushen's assassin.

Ok.

Merlin shrugged.

He'd managed to get himself into big trouble... big, big trouble.

--------

"you lose!"

At the star gambling table, the Grim Reaper laughed heartily, pointing to the gloomy Overlord and said:

"Not only did Merlin not accept the power you prepared, he also turned them all into enemies...Maybe I really can't win, friend."

Tyrion's voice became extremely free at this moment, and he said to Seber:

"but you..."

"Because of self-defeating, you have suffered a crushing defeat! You underestimated him! Just like I underestimated him."

"Declare war on the whole world..."

"Great!"
