Shadow of the Beautiful World

Hey, you're not crazy, are you?

After the gate of hell, Merlin asked for a new reward. Before the Archangel Gabriel could answer, Constantine, standing beside Merlin, jumped up first.

He held his head and said to Merlin:

What's so good about this shitty place? What do you want it for?

Zha Kang grabbed his hair and said in an unbelievable tone:

It's as if you've spent ten years planning how to get out of hell, and then you end up buying the whole hell.

Change your request.

Johnny also lowered his voice and said to Merlin:

I think it's a terrible idea. Even just promising the angels to do things for heaven is much better than staying here forever.

Hush!

Merlin put his finger to his mouth, winked at his two friends, and said:

I know what I'm doing, I'm more sane than ever, trust me! Okay?

Merlin comforted his restless friend.

He turned his head to look at Gabriel, and said in surprise:

What are you still doing here?

I made a request, you should return to heaven to report to your Lord, and then give me an answer, shouldn't you?

I

The Archangel was a little overwhelmed by Merlin's request.

In her past tens of thousands of years of life, she has never encountered such a thing.

A ghost in hell like heaven claims control of a piece of hell.

No matter how it sounds, this is a bit of fantasy.

I can't promise you.

Archangel Gabriel gritted his teeth and said:

This hell is God's creation to punish those

Don't tell me that.

Merlin waved his hand. He took the cigar from Zack Kang, hooked his fingers to Johnny, and lit the thing in the flames of his skull.

The raven exhaled smoke, hugged his shoulders, and said to the archangel:

You don't need to emphasize to me over and over again what a sacred responsibility this land shoulders.

I want it! You just have to answer me, yes or no!

If you can't decide for yourself, ask your Lord.

Merlin spread his hands, and he said:

With all due respect, Ms. Gabriel, you're just wasting our shared time right now. Maybe it's worthless to you, but my time is valuable.

impossible!

Archangel said:

There is a precedent for this. Since the beginning of history, heaven has never handed over the earth with its sacred mission to anyone other than the believers of our lord, not to mention that this hell itself is my lord.

Okay, you mean we can't talk?

Merlin waved his fingers impatiently.

Behind him, Ghost Rider and Zack Kang grabbed the guys lying on the ground and threw them at Merlin's feet.

Merlin stepped on the wailing star angel Malachi, and he said to Gabriel:

You can go, Your Excellency the Archangel.

Recently pay attention to things like Heaven News, maybe soon, the scandal between heaven and hell will ferment, and then spread to all worlds at an extremely fast speed, and every believer will know what happened in the holy heaven Ugly thing.

The angels who symbolize God's will and the demons who bring disasters are in the same boat, and there may be a crisis of faith in the pits.

Merlin flicked his fingers, his voice became softer, and he said:

I also have some 'friendship' with those hell lords. I think they will help me with this. After all, it's just a message. Just a word of mouth can weaken the power of heaven. Why not do it?

Poor God will be ashamed because of the greed and stupidity of his subordinates, and his reputation will be thrown into the mud of truth, and then he will be laughed at by his peers.

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief and said:

Let me tell you, Ms. Gabriel, the truth is sour, more caustic and more burning than the filthiest, most stinking, cruelest lies.

But I think you probably don't care about these.

He spread his hands, stepped on the sobbing star angel on the ground, and said:

A miser is always like this, always eager to hold every card in his hand, but waiting to be generous when disaster strikes is too late

Gabriel's expression changed.

Spreading her wings behind her, she said:

There is another way

swish

The scorching flames pierced the star angel Malachi at Merlin's feet like a sword.

She wants to destroy the evidence.

The holy power of the archangel exploded, like a glorious flame that engulfed everything, and rolled towards Merlin, but was blocked by the invisible wall of space, and a crack appeared on the shield of the ancient body.

But Merlin and Malachi under his feet were unharmed.

I've been on guard against you!

Merlin sneered, he kicked Malachi, kicking Star Angel behind him.

Johnny swung the chain and caught the seriously injured angel.

Merlin's voice sounded in the hearts of Ghost Rider and Zack Kang:

Go back! Back to the door.

She dare not chase after

Merlin gathered his magic power and stood in front of Johnny and Jack Kang who were running around dragging the scandalous evidence like a wall.

He laughed out loud amid waves of the archangel's incoming power.

On the boundary of the gate of hell, Merlin waved his finger, and a black light flew towards Gabriel in the air, who dodged it.

Surrounded by the surging dark magic power, Merlin was clothed in the darkness of scattered shadows. He rose into the sky and said to the indifferent archangel:

Even you are afraid of this wasteland. If you come in, you will be like us, and you will never want to go out.

We'll be good neighbors, Gabriel.

Merlin says:

Your arrival will make this land radiant. I think those crazy demons will probably enjoy the feeling of tearing apart an angel.

I'll check one last time.

Merlin sensed that Zha Kang and Johnny had retreated into the gates of hell and could return to the wasteland at any time.

He looked at Gabriel, and he said:

Negotiations broke down, right?

The archangel remained silent with a cold face.

As you can see, I have nothing left to lose so don't expect me to think too much when I go crazy

Merlin's voice also became indifferent, and he said:

Go back and wait for the scandal to ferment, maybe heaven will fall because of it.

He let out a sneer, and said:

I can drag heaven to be buried with me. In the endless time of being banned here, I will savor this sin and I will enjoy it.

But Gabriel, don't forget that when Heaven went down in flames, it was your fault too.

You could have been smarter and avoided this outcome.

The archangel is wearing a golden streamer at this time, and her neutral suit has been transformed into a set of gilded armor, holding a sword and shield in her hand, and every feather on her wings is shining with light.

The golden girdle danced around her waist, like those heavenly warriors who stepped into battle in mythology.

She is very angry.

There was a coldness in her eyes.

I advise you not to do that, Merlin.

You are in the world, and there are

Go as you please.

Merlin interrupted Gabriel, his voice as cold as ice.

He said:

If you can catch any of my relatives, even if I lose, try carefully, Gabriel, once you fail once, you will cause even more trouble for your heaven.

If you're not blind, you can see what's going on in Asgard.

Merlin says:

After the fall of God's Domain, maybe the next one will be Heaven Mountain.

The archangel pursed his lips.

She knew what Merlin was referring to.

The recovery of the goddess Skadi was not only noticed by Asgard, but the hoarfrost she represented was a threat to everything in the world. Now that she was confronting Merlin, the heavenly fathers were holding a meeting for this.

Asgard has already called for help, and the other Heavenly Fathers don't seem to want to get involved in the trouble.

It's no secret that the universe is accelerating.

Hoarfrost's coming is just a sign

Archangels are also in a kind of riding a tiger right now.

If you don't stop Merlin, there will be trouble in heaven;

Threatening Merlin, there will be trouble in heaven;

That guy arranged everything before he died.

The most powerful force in the world protects Merlin's relatives. Unless a war of annihilation is launched to kill all the gods among men, no one can threaten him with this weakness.

Continuing negotiations may resolve all this, but his asking price

It's too high.

hell

Sure enough, anything connected with ravens will not be simple.

It's hard to make a choice, isn't it?

Merlin put his hands together and folded them on his abdomen. He seemed to be wearing a black robe with an extremely long hem. He hovered in the air and said to the archangel:

With all due respect, Archangel, this is no longer something you can solve

Go back and ask your lord, I think he must be much wiser than you.

Gabriel flapped her wings, and she stared at Merlin with a murderous look.

Merlin knew that this seemingly small-minded angel hated him, but it didn't matter, he didn't care.

As he watched, Gabriel quickly rose into the sky.

The moment she disappeared into the rolling clouds, Merlin also heaved a sigh of relief.

bluffed

In his current state, it is still very difficult to deal with an archangel. Once Gabriel is a little more reckless, there will be no room for turning things around.

Merlin didn't want to do anything wrong either.

At any time, you can't do anything absolutely.

That would mean tearing apart, outright hostility, and doing no good other than getting in trouble.

This is a negotiation.

Being able to resolve issues at the negotiating table is the best outcome.

It now appears that the pressure tactic has worked and things are moving in his favor.

A moment later, a ray of light descended from the sky and landed on the ground in front of Merlin's eyes.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and looked back at the tense Zakon and Johnny behind him. He gestured to them, meaning to retreat to the gate of hell if there was any situation.

This place that traps them has now become their last retreat.

It's unpredictable.

Merlin moved his shoulders, took a deep breath, and floated into the beam of light in front of him in the form of a ghost.

The moment he came into contact with the beam of light, his field of vision changed rapidly.

The sound of sea water swaying rang in his ears, and at the moment when the light faded slightly, a beautiful and quiet blue sea and blue sky appeared in front of Merlin's eyes.

At the end of the fine and white sandy beach, a white parasol stands there.

On a table, there are two glasses of juice, and on both sides of the table, there are two sun loungers.

There is a person lying on the chair on the left.

And Archangel Gabriel, like the most obedient servant, stood beside the mysterious guy.

She glared at Merlin.

She is still angry.

Alas, women are all narrow-minded.

Even the angels with endless power are the same.

Merlin walked on the beach with bare feet, the beach was quite warm under the sun, and the fine quicksand intertwined between his toes, making it very comfortable to step on.

After 7 months in hell, the scene in front of him really made Merlin feel relaxed.

Amidst the soft sound of the sea breeze blowing the palm trees, he walked to the sun lounger, without looking at the person lying beside him, he leaned there comfortably, letting his whole body relax.

The sea breeze is blowing on the face, very comfortable and relaxing.

well

A soft sigh entered Merlin's ears, and a gentle voice that was hard to distinguish between men and women sounded:

You have also commanded a group, an organization, Merlin Riley, have you ever encountered the same embarrassing situation as I am now?

the man asked.

Merlin basked in the sun, he shrugged and said:

Yes, I have.

Subordinates are incompetent, or do things wrong, causing troubles they can't solve, and the boss has to come forward to blame them and resist all the bad consequences.

It's hard, but it's the most basic requirement to be a leader

We can be cunning, we can be vicious, we can be vicious, we can be shameless, but we must be responsible.

That is nice.

There was a chuckle from the voice, followed by the sound of sipping juice.

A moment later, amidst the clang of the glass on the table, he added:

Now that you understand my difficulty, let's be more honest.

Gabriel's disposal is right, you did us a favor, but these things are not enough for you to get that piece of wasteland, and your asking price is too high.

The voice was a little depressed and said:

It took me more than half a year to create it, you know, it only takes me 7 days to create a world on average

I thought it was just a story.

Merlin chuckled lightly, and said:

I didn't expect that to be true.

There is often truth in legends, Merlin.

The voice sighed, and he said:

But if you must have it, it's not impossible for me. I have a lot of troubles to deal with every day, and some of them are very headaches.

I mean, if you can do me one more favor, I'll give it to you.

Merlin was silent for a while, and he said:

What's busy?

Have you heard of the giant beast?

The voice said to Merlin in a chatty way:

That legend that no one wants to talk about even in hell.

Um.

Merlin nodded.

Help me calm it down.

The voice said:

The universe is accelerating evolution, and it seems unwilling to sleep anymore. I want to chat with it, but it doesn't want to listen to me. It is a primitive shadow, and it always dislikes the light I emit.

It will eat me in one gulp.

Merlin says:

The universe is becoming more and more complete, your power will become stronger and stronger, and its power will also become stronger. In front of it, the Heavenly Father is just a slightly difficult little bug.

If you can't handle it, how can I

No no no.

The voice explained:

Don't be frightened by the nonsensical legends, the giant beast, it is actually an interesting will, it is not aggressive, as long as you can find the right way, it will be very willing to chat with you.

And I don't think there is anyone more suitable than you in this group of stars. You gave us freedom, and you gave it freedom. As long as you don't shout and kill, it will sell you a face.

The voice chuckled slightly, and said:

Will you help me?

I

Merlin hesitated, and after a few seconds, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

Okay, I'll help you, I'll find a way to talk to it, but I can't guarantee the result.

enough.

Something was thrown into Merlin's hands.

Like a quaint key.

Everything around began to collapse, and in the light spots where everything dissipated, the voice said:

The wasteland is yours, but you'd better not release all the things locked inside. They were locked there for a reason.

in addition

Thank you for the freedom you set us free, Merlin.

A lot of people are thanking you.

Oh, I almost forgot about Odinto. I thank you, and besides, he hopes you can take time to take care of your wife who is running amok.

Merlin also smiled, and when the light dissipated, he said:

I will try my best.

Let him bear it a little longer.
