Shadow trail of the beautiful world

939 Chapter 37. Breaking away

"He...he just..."

In the ruins of the Trident Building, the moment Rui Wen was unconscious, a bad feeling rose in Steve's heart.

The captain took a step forward uncontrollably, and he looked at the things Carol held in his hands.

A trace of bewilderment flashed in his eyes, followed by uncontrollable pain and shock.

"Merlin, how could he just...just die like that?"

The captain looked blankly at Clark who was also astonished beside him.

他 说:

"You have seen it with your own eyes, we have all seen it, we have all experienced it personally, he is so strong, beyond everything else, how could it be so..."

"No matter how strong a person is, there are enemies that cannot be solved."

Beside Captain and Superman, Wonder Woman, who was blasted out by Merlin with a Crimson Crow, rubbed her sore wrist while looking at the things Merlin left behind.

She didn't know Merlin very well.

But at least they have fought side by side and faced the ancient evil god together.

Just now, just now, Merlin saved the world with his own hands.

Again.

"Merlin has met a terrible opponent, right?"

Wonder Woman looked up, looked at Carol, and asked:

"Can you tell us who it is?"

Carol didn't answer, she wasn't stupid.

In the current situation, rashly saying Odin's name will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.

But seeing Merlin die in the hands of Odin with his own eyes, and seeing his lover die in his arms, he said that Carol was not angry at all...

That's obviously not possible.

She just can't be as decisive as Elsa.

Maybe...

Maybe in terms of love, she really lost to Elsa.

But she doesn't hold a grudge.

She really couldn't hate a woman who would give up everything for Merlin.

Carol could feel the existing, illusory but real breath all over his body, which came from the same source as Odin.

She turned her head and looked at Thor, who was standing aside with a pale face.

Thunder God, the son of the God King, may have already noticed something from the lingering aura that was about to dissipate on those broken weapons.

There was even more remorse and guilt on his already weak face.

Although the change in Carol's eyes was brief when he looked at Thor, it couldn't be hidden from some people with keen senses, such as...

The little wolf girl who has been watching her.

"what!"

Laura let out a scream, her claws popped out, she gritted her teeth, and rushed towards Thor like a really ferocious wolf cub.

Thor has lost his powers, and he's just an ordinary man now.

He didn't notice Laura's surprise attack at all, and he barely reacted just before Laura's claws were about to pierce his chest.

"boom"

A hand held Laura down.

The little wolf girl who was attacking with all her strength was easily held in place.

Laura raised her head viciously, and saw Carol with a calm face looking at her.

"Merlin wouldn't want to see you do this..."

Carol said to Laura:

"This matter has nothing to do with him. Don't be angry, child."

"go to hell!"

While Carol held Laura down, a sharper, weeping hiss sounded from Thor's other side.

Lorna with red eyes opened her hands, and her long green hair fluttered behind her head. Under the uncontrollable magnetic vibration, all the metals in the ruins were moved.

The weapons worn by the heroes, the steel twisted in the ruins, were suspended in the air as if injected with life.

In the roar of Lorna's gritted teeth, she smashed at Thor who was at a loss from all directions.

No one expected Lorna to shoot so fast and so powerfully.

The few heroines who tried to hold her down were blown away by the burst of magnetic force before they even got close to Lorna.

And the captain with sharp eyes and quick hands pulled Thor back quickly, and several sharp weapons bombarded Thor's place in the next second.

The pain of losing her brother reverberated in Lorna's heart. The pain stimulated her potential, and the magnetic force she controlled at this moment exploded.

Even Thor's Hammer that hit the ground hummed endlessly amidst the magnetic shock.

"boom"

The terrifying weapon that fell from the sky hit Clark's body, and Superman protected Thor with his body.

He shouted to Lorna:

"Don't do that, Lorna."

"He's right, don't do that!"

Carol flicked her fingers, and cosmic flames erupted from the lady's fingers, spreading out in the form of a halo, forcibly crushing the metals controlled by Lorna.

She appeared beside Lorna like a flash of light.

She pointed her fingers at this green-haired, hot-tempered girl, suppressing her surging magnetic force.

she says:

"Merlin doesn't want you to do this!"

"Don't worry about it! Go away!"

With tears on Lorna's face, the girl cried out in pain:

"Why is he still alive!"

"I don't have a brother! We all don't have a brother...I'm going to kill him! Get out of the way!"

"Cry, child."

Carol closed her eyes, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. The pain of losing Merlin in her heart was not less than that of these children,

She hugged Laura and opened her arms again, taking Lorna in her arms.

She let the little wolf girl's paws slide on her body, and amidst the sparks flying, she hugged the two children tightly, and said in a sad voice:

"Your brother... Merlin, before he left, he asked me to take care of you."

"Whether you like it or not, from today onwards, I will be your guardian..."

"I won't let anyone hurt you, I swear."

That's when Carol stops the two kids from doing something stupid.

On the other side, among the crowd, Lingdie was holding a samurai sword with a wooden face.

Her expression was indifferent, and she moved rudely away from the onlookers, and the crimson energy spread behind her.

Amid the flashes of huge butterfly-like light wings, the icy sharp blade suddenly unsheathed.

"clang"

The knife that Psylocke slashed was only an inch away from decapitating Thor.

But it was eventually blocked.

The captain held up his shield to block the sharp blade cut by the spirit butterfly. Clark also turned around, and with a wave of his wrist, the sharp blade was snatched away.

Ling Die, whose expression was numb but with murderous intent shining in his eyes, was also dragged back by several X-Men who rushed up.

He looked at the glamorous beauty with purple hair in front of him, and he recognized it as an X-Men.

But he didn't know why she would also take Thor's life.

Could this be Merlin's...

"Leave it to us."

Emma, ​​the white queen who came late and missed the big battle, apologized and said to the captain:

"The relationship between Spirit Butterfly and Merlin... is a bit complicated. In short, please trust us, she doesn't mean anything malicious."

"Ah."

The captain nodded heavily, he said a few words to the divine man, the cloak was quickly found, and Thor, who was full of guilt, was sent to a safe place.

Enough with the moths today.

Stop bleeding innocent people.

Clark looked at Carol who led the children away from the square with complicated eyes. He walked up to Batman who was standing at the edge of the crowd, and he stood with Batman.

他 说:

"You wanted to kill Thor, too, didn't you?"

"Ah."

Bruce snorted, didn't answer, didn't deny.

"I felt a flash of killing intent."

Clark looked at the distant city and said:

"I haven't met you before, but Merlin can recruit you into the Avengers without telling us, which means that he must trust you very much. Are you friends with him?"

"No, not friends."

Batman was silent for a moment, he sighed, and said hoarsely:

"It's brother."

"No wonder."

Clark shook his head, he just stood there so quietly, like a pillar.

After a moment, Batman said to him:

"Someone is calling you, the captain is summoning the Avengers, why don't you go?"

"What about you?"

Clark said:

"You're an Avenger too, aren't you going?"

"Not anymore."

Bruce said in a calm voice:

"I didn't come here just for you to guess. I came here desperately because Merlin begged me, he needed me..."

"I can't refuse my brother's call, that's all."

"Avenger, hehe."

Batman let out an unintelligible chuckle.

Beside him, Clark also reached out to take out his ID from the Kryptonian battle suit, and he looked at it.

After a few seconds, he dropped the thing at his feet.

This action was seen by the captain behind him, which also made the captain's raised hand stagnate in the air.

Steve looked at Clark's back with complicated eyes.

In the end, he shook his head, turned around and left in a rather overwhelmed manner.

Clark could of course feel the footsteps of the captain leaving, but he was very tired at this moment, and he didn't want to pay attention to those things.

His relationship with Merlin has also surpassed that of ordinary friends.

Perhaps, they can also be called brothers.

"You know what? Batman."

Clark looked at the city ahead, and he said to the people around him:

"When I first came here, I thought I wouldn't be lonely in a city of millions of people."

"But it's not. When you're in it, you feel more lonely... People's feelings are not the same..."

"Unless you have friends, family, love... I lost a friend today, a brother, and I'm sad."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Batman was unimpressed and said:

"We're just strangers. Apart from the fact that I beat you up before, we have nothing to do with each other. I'm not interested in making friends now."

"Merlin!"

Clark said:

"We have a mutual friend. If Merlin can trust you and entrust everything to you, then I think I can too..."

"Hey, don't think so highly of yourself."

Batman sneered, he turned around, and walked towards his Batmobile without looking back.

He said to Clark behind him:

"Why do you think you can be as important as Merlin in my heart? Go home..."

"I'm going home too."

"Snapped"

Something was thrown by Batman, and Clark took it in his hand and found that it was a symbiote suit in a box.

"I don't need it anymore."

Bruce opened the car door, got into the Batmobile, and said to Clark:

"Give it back for me, I don't want to have anything to do with those who indirectly killed my brother..."

"But you're not bad, you seem to have some conscience..."

"Bless yourself."

"boom"

In the roar of the Batmobile, the car quickly changed its shape and reorganized into a black Batfighter, carrying Bruce into the night sky.

Clark watched Batman leave. He entrusted the divine man, handed the symbiote suit to Steve, and then rushed into the sky.

In less than 1 minute, he returned to his door.

Clark changed his clothes, then reached out and knocked on the door.

A moment later, Louise opened the door with a vigilant face. When she saw Clark, her face was full of surprise, and then quickly turned into dissatisfaction.

With her arms akimbo, she said to Clark:

"Where did you go? You didn't answer my call! You didn't tell me, do you know that I have..."

"Swish"

The next moment, the silent Clark reached out and hugged Louise tightly.

Louise's complaint was interrupted, the wise woman could sense her boyfriend's sadness.

Her face became tender, and she reached out, hugged Clark, and patted him on the back.

"what happened?"

Louise asked softly.

"I...I lost a good friend, a brother..."

In front of the person he trusted the most, Clark no longer hid his pain. The steely man said in a hoarse voice:

"I should have saved him, I should have gone with him... I lost him..."

Louise didn't know how to comfort her boyfriend.

She could only hold him tighter.

Under the gentle light, the two hugged each other, enjoying the hard-won peace.

"Louise..."

"Ok?"

"Let's...get married, I don't want to wait..."

-----------

"bang, bang"

A knock sounded at the Queens apartment, and a worried May opened the door.

She saw a strange woman standing at the door of her house.

Behind her stood Lorna and Laura, Raven was held in the arms of the daughter, and Matt and Daisy followed behind her.

The children had tears on their faces.

And Merlin, her younger brother, who was supposed to bring these children back together, was nowhere to be seen.

May's expression changed.

A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

She put her fingers over her mouth and took a step back, tears welling from May's eyes, and she let out a whimper.

She leaned against the wall and fell to the ground along the wall.

She didn't even dare to cry aloud, little Peter had just fallen asleep, and Ben had already rested.

She didn't want to wake them up.

I don't want to tell them bad news.

Merlin, her only remaining relative...

Probably won't be back tonight...

PS:

The timing setting is wrong, the extra one posted in the morning should be tomorrow's.

But if it doesn't affect the plot, it should be regarded as adding more.

Wait for the editor to apply for a change before going to work... I seriously suspect that I lost my head yesterday...
