Shadow of the Beautiful World

In the early morning, at Raccoon City Base, in the physics laboratory of the non-governmental organization s.d.o.l.d.

The bald-headed Dr. Hall just turned on the computer when he saw his research partner, Dr. Bill Foster, who had also experienced Mediterranean symptoms in recent years, walking in with a sandwich in one hand and something in the other.

Bill, why haven't you seen Ava recently?

Dr. Hall asked:

Where is your daughter?

She's in the quantum state experiment cabin.

Dr. Bill was eating breakfast, sorting out the scattered experimental data on the table.

He whispered:

I dare not let her go out and run around. The energy accumulation of the quantum state on the child has reached a peak, and it is difficult for that suit to maintain her body's stability under the influence of the quantum sea.

Then what are you going to do?

Dr. Hall said with some regret:

That child is still so young, she is exactly the same age as Hua'er.

I asked George to help me find Hank.

Dr. Foster replied in a stubborn tone:

George has promised to help. With him here, there will be news soon. I will definitely find Hank...and then solve Ava's problem once and for all.

Okay, just call me if you need help.

Dr. Hall nodded, he saw what Dr. Foster was carrying again, and said:

what is that?

this?

Dr. Foster picked up what was in his hand, which looked like a data storage board.

But the above does not have a data interface that Dr. Hall is familiar with.

Ms. Carroll brought this back a few days ago. It is said that it came from a starship that was destroyed by her. At that time, the spaceship was heading towards the earth.

Um?

Dr. Hall became interested. He stood up, walked to Dr. Foster, took the black data pad, and looked at it over and over again.

He frowned and said:

It looks like Cybertronian data storage technology.

Yes.

Dr Foster said:

I did a material analysis last night. It is not composed of metals found on Earth. I also asked a mechanical knight to come to the laboratory today to help us decipher the information in this data board.

Carroll said that the data in this thing should be related to the secret activities of those Decepticons on Earth.

Yeah?

Dr. Hall nodded.

Ten minutes later, the two physicists walked into the huge underground garage of the base, where the invited mechanical knights were already waiting for them.

here comes...

Lola.

Coulson's mechanical knight, now one of the mechanical guards inside s.d.o.l.d., is also the object of several genuine Cybertronians vying to flatter.

A female robot that is also beautiful and elegant from a human point of view.

She is wearing a long red dress and carrying a two-handed mechanical sword. The lines of her body are slender and full of feminine curves.

Even that face is slightly different from other robots.

Probably because of being born on the earth, Lola's face is more like a human on earth than a robot.

The characters of the mechanical knights are closely related to the human knights. The noise and Dupont stayed too long, and the taste became bad, while Charlie's Bumblebee has always maintained a positive and optimistic attitude.

Merlin's Horus is a boring gourd.

As for Lola.

Coulson is a good knight, and Lola has a very good temper, and even speaks extremely softly and nicely.

Hello, Doctors.

Lola's metallic voice sounded in the garage, and she stretched out her hand, waving at the two doctors.

Hello, Lola.

Dr. Foster stood by the railing on the second floor. He looked at the elegant female robot in front of him, and he gave her the data pad in his hand.

He said:

I will trouble you today.

It's nothing, it's my duty.

Lola chuckled lightly. She took the black data pad with her slender mechanical fingers, popped out the loading box on her chest, and put the data pad inside.

The Cybertronian decryption program starts running.

Lola raised her head, and blue projections shot out from her eyes, forming a picture like a movie screen in front of the eyes of the two doctors.

Analysis starts, video data conversion, please wait a moment.

Lola's voice sounded, and the screen on the projection began to jump.

In the vast sea of ​​stars, a unique planet appeared on the projection. As the picture zoomed in, the two doctors saw the fragmented planet.

That is a world completely composed of all kinds of machinery and steel.

Just like a mechanical egg, but it seems to have experienced the worst war, the surface and core have been fragmented.

The silver rail lines that circle the surface of the world are like blood vessels on a dead body, and the collapsed giant metal buildings are almost entangled by those twisted steel lines.

This is a corpse.

The corpse of the mechanical world.

Like a big black ball riddled with bugs.

Those steels have been strongly corroded, which proves that the war of destroying the world should have passed for a long time, but on the corpse of the steel planet, there are still mechanical flames jumping.

Cybertron.

There is no need to explain, the two doctors and Lola himself already know what this place is.

The lost home of all Cybertronians.

The world is dead.

Another deep, metallic voice, belonging to a woman, sounded, but the projection screen was blurred.

I don't know if the data is damaged, or there is no video record at all for some reason.

But it still has the possibility of recovery, it needs energy, it needs new vitality, to plunder... Bring back my scepter! Find the ark, bring back the leadership module...

I'll remake it with another world for you!

Obey, god!

Some noisy voices sounded in the projection, just like soldiers receiving orders.

The picture resumed in the next moment, and amidst the twinkling stars, a familiar world appeared in front of the stunned two doctors.

Earth...

At the end of the screen projection, when the line of sight is extended, the two doctors can see that the dilapidated planet Cybertron is rapidly advancing among the stars under the lease of the remaining thousands of propellers.

Their target is Earth!

Dr. Hall and Dr. Bill looked at each other, and they realized the seriousness of the matter.

The data board analyzed by Lola in front of me came from a Decepticon troop carrier... This means that the so-called god wants to revive Cybertron, and it will target the earth.

Scepter, leadership module, and ark...

Dr. Hall quickly recorded the key information. He raised his head and said to Lola:

Miss Lola, do you know these things?

I...I don't know.

Lola said with some embarrassment:

I was born on Earth, but maybe Jazz or Bumblebee... They are elite fighters of the Cybertronian Rebels, and if there are Mechanic Gods in their world, they must know.

Moreover, a large part of the information in this data board is specially encrypted, and I can't crack it, so you really have to find them two.

Dr. Hall nodded. He reached out to pick up the communicator inside the base, dialed the number, and said to the other end of the communicator:

Commander Hill, I'm Franklin Hall, we found something, you might be interested.

In addition, I need Sir Cybertron to assist me in deciphering a piece of information, which is related to their hometown Cybertron.

—————————

whoosh

Far away from the earth, in the sea of ​​stars in the southern Milky Way, the shuttle driven by Raccoon Rocket flew over a barren planet at high speed.

Rocket gripped the joystick, shaking his mane-covered head back and forth to the blaring music in the cockpit.

Behind it, the tree-man Groot dipped his finger into a glass of water, drinking it that way.

The small leaves on top of it are also shaking to the rhythm of the music.

These two guys are obviously high together.

We're almost there, the front line, hell.

The rocket spit out a sentence, it said:

Take the money and die.

My name is Groot.

Facing the raccoon's complaint, the tree man responded.

I know, just take a look at it from a distance and go back, I know.

Rocket said without looking back:

I'm still waiting to find the treasure. That thing is buried on the edge planet of the Cree Empire. Maybe we can find something valuable there, so we don't have to travel around in the future. By the way, what is that thing called?

It looked at the acquaintance behind it.

Groot shrugged and said:

My name is Groot...

Yes! Cosmic Orb, isn't it? What a weird name.

The Ent didn't respond to the raccoon.

The expression on its face was a little dull, Rocket turned his head in surprise, and followed the tree man's gaze.

The expression on its mane-covered little face also changed to surprise and shock.

It's like seeing the most terrifying thing.

In front of the slowly decelerating shuttle, it was as if a curtain had been drawn, and between the nebulae filled with red-purple light streams, shining like northern lights, was an interstellar battlefield that had just quieted down.

Thousands of starship wreckage float in the bloody nebula.

Torn starships, smashed shuttles, and asteroids crushed by starship main guns.

Those space junks that represent great suffering are like debris suspended in a zero-gravity zone.

Those fragmented, twisted, tumbling wreckages that have long been unclear are part of what they are, like giant beasts that are stranded and dying.

The light from the stars shone on the torn wreckage, reflecting a cold and cruel light.

Snapped

Something hit the front of Rocket's shuttle.

It was a corpse.

The corpse of a Kerry soldier, wearing a charred uniform, fell right in front of the rocket.

In the collision, green blood spurted from the corpse.

Blood and death.

Just like that, it spread all over the space in front of the raccoon.

My God...

Rocket sighed.

There must have been a massacre here!

A fleet was routed here.

None of those horrific attackers survived.

There's only been one battle here recently, the Kree must have been cruising, and the mad titan Thanos' army slaughtered them.

The rocket turned on the spacecraft recorder and recorded everything in front of it.

These recorded images can be sent to the Nova Corps.

The Nova Corps also doesn't need to worry about the threat of war from the Kree, who have a new enemy.

An enemy has suddenly appeared at the edge of the southern galaxy.

Thanos...

Strange, the warships destroyed here seem to be only half of a standard Kree Legion?

The other half of the guys ran away! Why did he let them go? From this battlefield, he clearly has the ability to slaughter them all.

The Rocket and the Ent discussed this issue.

The two of them have been hanging out in the Southern Galaxy for so many years, and they have never heard of this name, let alone such weird behavior.

My name is Groot!

The tree man suddenly raised his hand and pointed in front of the rocket, and the raccoon raised his head and looked forward.

It saw a green flash emerge from the darkness, rushing into the ruins of the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.

In the flashing green light, the spot of light is like a flash, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

The rocket hastily turned on the information catcher of the shuttle, and in the stretch of light and shadow, a captured picture appeared in front of the raccoon and the tree man.

that thing...

Seems like a person?

At least it has a human form, and there is a layer of shining green light on the surface of the body, like some kind of energy shield.

The guy's uniform is also interesting.

Green uniform, white gloves, only wearing a strange mask over the eyes, without any respirator, just standing on the dangerous nebula battlefield.

It stood on a piece of the wreckage of a blown-up starship, holding a light with a green halo from World War I in its right hand.

It raised its left hand, and in the green light shining from the ring, it seemed to be recording something, and it seemed to be looking for something.

Have you seen that guy?

The raccoon turned to the tree man and asked.

The tree man shook his head.

Well, it looks like a ruthless character.

Rocket blinked and said:

The required information has been collected, let's not meddle in our own business, I mean, we should withdraw.

A few seconds later, the shuttle turned quickly, trying to leave the ruins of the star sea.

But at the moment it took off, the green light roared across the sea of ​​stars, and with a precise flash, it stopped in front of the rocket's shuttle.

The guy with the lamp raised his hand, and the green halo danced and gathered into a pair of big hands composed of energy, easily holding the taking-off shuttle in place.

Copy guys!

Rocket screamed, and grabbed a black large-caliber pulse gun taller than him from under his feet.

Behind it, Groot also clenched the vine's fists aggressively.

Don't be nervous! I mean no harm.

The green man hovering in the air hastily explained:

My name is Abin Su, and I am the protector of the Green Lantern Corps in this cosmic sector. The guardians have seen the terrible war erupting in this star sea, and I am here because of it!

This guy who looked very powerful was very kind. He said to the rocket and the tree man holding the gun:

Do you know who made this massacre?

The rocket and the tree man looked at each other, it put down the gun in its hand, and it said to the green light man:

We didn't see him, but we guessed it was done by a man named Thanos the Mad Titan who just appeared in this star sea recently. The Kree fleet was only half destroyed.

Why did he do this?

Abin Su, this weird-looking alien frowned and asked:

Is this a conquest? Or...

No one knows, man.

The rocket shrugged, and it joked:

If you really want to know, you can ask him face to face.

good!

Abin Su thought for a while, stretched out his hand, and waved at the rocket.

He said:

Then I'll go and ask him face to face!

Thanks for the message, man, see you next time!
