Shadow of the Beautiful World

In an abandoned galaxy in the Southern Milky Way.

A dying sun hangs in the black sea of ​​stars, burning itself, releasing its last light and heat.

In the center of this desolate galaxy, there is a huge head floating.

The flesh and blood on the skull had long since perished and disintegrated, leaving only the remains of this ancient mysterious creature.

But just a head is bigger than the stars in this galaxy.

The dozens of planets in this galaxy, as well as some small stars, do not revolve around the star, but revolve around this head.

Including that star.

It is the source of gravity for this galaxy.

Even after death, there is such power that people can't imagine how powerful this creature must be when it is alive.

hum

A ray of light shot out from the dark and dead sea of ​​stars.

Like the first light to tear through the darkness.

It soared at high speed, and the moment it appeared, it spanned countless light years.

It is looking for a foothold.

Finally, it found the mysterious skull, and it circled around the skull a few times, probably feeling very satisfied.

As the light jumped, the eye sockets of the skull as deep as an abyss were lit up.

A city!

A star port, so weirdly illuminated by the light, like a mirage illusion, transformed from a floating light curtain into a solid body, and suddenly appeared in the center of this skull planet.

Well...

Wearing a black robe with a strange shape, and coquettishly dotted the appearance of white on the outside of the robe, with cool long white hair, wearing gloves, the guy with weird movements walked out of the light.

He stood on a tall building, looking forward at the star port and city that had been shaped out of thin air.

A strange smile appeared on his ageless face.

swish

Another figure appeared in the light.

That guy seemed to be stuck in the light, waving his hands constantly, trying to jump out of the crack in the light, but he couldn't.

The rift of light seemed unable to allow him to enter this world.

He could only grin and shout:

Brother, come and help me!

whispering sound.

The first guy who came out looked back at the person stuck in the light, he curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and said:

Aren't you amazing? Gast, do you still need my help?

Stop talking nonsense!

The man caught in the light yelled:

Hurry up, if Sebo finds out that I am making small moves, he will tear apart my old bones, and maybe Tyrion will help too. Guess who will be the next target after they kill me?

The guy seemed to be threatening.

This made the weird guy who was the first to walk out of the light curtain rub his hands together.

He thought for a moment, turned around, and grabbed the guy stuck in the light, like pulling a carrot.

It took him several minutes to pull the hapless creature stuck in the light.

The two brothers sat on the platform panting. Behind them, the cracks in the surging light curtain were repaired bit by bit, turning into cracks, and quickly healed under the compensation of cosmic power.

So far, a highly risky smuggling has been officially completed.

And when the light faded away, the second guy also completed his shaping. He moved his body and stood up, bouncing around on the spot twice.

This guy...

He was dressed in yellow, with messy hair, weird paint on his chin, and a sly gleam in his eyes.

This guy...

Gao Tianzun!

Isn't this the host who presided over the gambling game that just ended outside the stars?

A real cosmic old gambler, why did he appear in...

I said, brother.

The first guy to jump into this universe, the younger brother of Gao Tianzun, the elder of the universe who participated in the star game as a bystander before, looked around and asked in a low voice:

How did you leave this 'back door' in full view?

Hey, I have my own plan.

Gao Tianzun snorted triumphantly at the inquiry from his younger brother. He raised his hand and pointed at the star-filled universe in front of him. He said:

The cosmic melting pot in this place, but I found it for Cyber, and when I placed it, I left a little 'trick'.

The old gambling dog made a blasting action, and he explained:

That is a door, and it will not be opened until the level of cosmic power enters the single universe.

?

Gao Tianzun's younger brother, the Elder Universe who calls himself The Collector said doubtfully:

Then how can you be sure that the world won't evolve to that extent at the end of the game? The game ends at the level of the Heavenly Father. Is this also in your calculations?

Well

Gao Tianzun's old face flushed, he waved his hand, and said casually:

Of course, everything is according to my plan, you don't need to worry, brother.

All right.

The collector rubbed his chin, and after a while, the guy said to Gao Tianzun:

You assured me that I can find many interesting collectibles in this world, so I took the risk to come here with you, you'd better not lie to me...

What we came here is just a cosmic projection, and the main body is still outside the stars...

He looked at his brother who had always been dishonest, and he threatened:

If I can't find a good collection this trip, I will definitely report you on the spot!

Relax, reassure, dear Tiwan.

Gao Tianzun patted his younger brother's shoulder, he stretched out his hand confidently, and put his arm around Collector's shoulder, he pointed to the endless sea of ​​stars in front of him.

He said to his younger brother in a seductive tone that envisioned a bright future:

This is a universe that is evolving. The original power of the universe is scattered everywhere in this sea of ​​stars. They will turn into all kinds of strange things, and then be found by the tool people in this group of stars.

You just need to give them something sweet, and they will be like a group of wild dogs looking for food, and send those treasures to you in a steady stream!

Those are treasures that were derived before the melting pot of the universe was ignited, and they are good things that you can't find in our universe.

Gao Tianzun glanced at his younger brother's bright eyes, and he laughed.

No one knew his brother better than him.

Collecting addiction, in the past billions of years, I have gone crazy and collected all kinds of meaningless things in the multiverse.

With this rhetoric, he would definitely risk being hacked to death by the Overlord and the Grim Reaper, and join him in this fatal smuggling.

But the collector is also an elder of the universe, he must not be considered stupid.

Although he was dazzled by the collection, he still retained his sanity. He looked at his brother and asked:

What about you? What are you risking to do here?

Collector says:

This universe has just evolved to the level of a single body. There will be no gladiators that will make your eyes shine, and there will be no interesting bets for you. Don't tell me, you are risking eternal death, just come here for sightseeing of?

of course not.

Gao Tianzun narrowed his eyes, he walked forward a few steps with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the dying red sun hanging in the distant starry sky, he said:

Brother, tell me, how many people are there on the shattered Stars Gambling Table?

Are you stupid?

The collector looked at himself hysterical, pretending to be a deep brother, he said disdainfully:

Isn't it just a gamble between two people?

wrong!

Gao Tianzun turned his head and showed a strange smile to his younger brother. He raised three fingers and said:

There are three people at the gaming table... er, counting Merlin who just came to the table, that's four people!

You mean... you're one of them?

The collector's eyes widened, and the elder of the universe changed his mind. After a while, he looked at Gao Tianzun, and he said:

You, you want this universe too?

so smart!

Gao Tianzun smiled, raised his head, looked at the sea of ​​stars above his head, and said:

When I created this universe, I also contributed. At the beginning, I didn't have this plan. I just wanted to experience the fun of a great gambling game.

But they ruined it!

Gao Tianzun's expression became gloomy, even a bit ferocious, he gritted his teeth and said:

Go to tm's tie! How can such a boring thing as a tie be allowed in a game of gambling! Isn't it that we go to the gambling table to compete?

He looked back at the stunned collector, and with a weird smile, he said:

Since they don't intend to let me have fun, I might as well flip the table!

Calm down! Calm down! Brother!

The collector rushed up and grabbed Gao Tianzun's wrist. He said in a panicked tone:

Don't get on top! You can't beat them, and neither can I. We haven't been fighters from the beginning, you're trying to die!

Hey, how do you talk!

Gao Tianzun shook off his younger brother's hand in dissatisfaction, he snorted and said:

We are family, you should support me!

Listen to me, I'm Gao Tianzun for nothing, so I won't take the initiative to seek death...Brother, we were the elders who used to maintain the cosmic furnace. No one knows better than us about lighting the furnace. gone.

Gao Tianzun said confidently:

When I said flipping the table, it was just a metaphor. I didn't intend to do everything.

But you see, the Overlord and the Grim Reaper are waiting outside now. They swore an oath not to interfere with the evolution of the stars. This is our chance!

They intend to inject energy from the outside after the evolution of the universe is over, ignite the furnace for this universe, completely burn the first era of this universe, and open the second era, so as to use this sea of ​​stars as a refuge.

Gao Tianzun showed a sly expression, he said:

But this is against the law of the evolution of the universe. You and I both know that only by igniting the melting pot of the universe from the inside can it be regarded as a sign that the universe has truly entered a complete body.

It's like an egg, broken outside is death, broken inside is new life.

He spread his five fingers and clasped them tightly. He patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said:

Before they did, we collected enough primordial power in the universe, and then ignited it from within, so as to take control of the universe.

I'm going to win this bet! There won't be any more bloody draws.

Gao Tianzun said:

And you, my younger brother, you will get a unique universe, and that is your reward. By the way, you can open this universe to the Overlord and Death God's family members, and you can get two favors.

The universe elder said with a smile:

Do you think they will turn against us with Pocket Universe in hand?

No, they won't!

The collector also laughed, squinting his eyes and said:

That's when they begged us...

Just figure it out, it's a lucrative business.

Gao Tianzun said to his younger brother:

That's why I brought you here, when it comes to finding things, no one is better at it than you...

Listen to me, I have used our universe as a reference and selected some gods that can be used to ignite the cosmic furnace and are rich in cosmic energy.

He handed a scroll to the collector, saying:

Let's collect the above things together. In addition, when we encounter those unrecorded treasures that also have the power of the universe, we must get them as much as possible, and we must hurry up!

I know.

The Collector nodded, and he opened the scroll, which listed a series of odd-looking gadgets.

Some he knew, and some he hadn't even heard of.

Infinity Gems, Scepter of Vatum, Ultimate Negater, Cosmic Cube, Evil Eye of Avalon, Box of Winter, Stone of Norn, Eternal Flame, Book of Eternity, Orb of Ora, Book of Darkness, Ultimate Mother Box, Power Cell, Spear of Destiny, Medusa's Mask, Green Bell Silver Wheel and Red Pot...

Ah, they are all good things!

I love this universe! Gentlemen, from the heart!

———————

On the streets of New York, above a tall building, a purple light flashed, and a slender and tall figure appeared in this world.

That is a girl.

He looks about 17 or 8 years old, and wears weird clothes.

She wears a... hard-to-describe helmet.

Half-covered, with a purple eye patch covering the eyes, and a high purple crown, like a gentleman's hat.

But on both sides of the helmet, there are two decorations that look like machinery and flying wings that protrude upwards.

The girl is in excellent shape.

Wearing a purple miniskirt with black stripes, it barely covered her high breasts.

And on the dizzying, perfect long legs, wrapped in purple stockings, until the soles of the feet extend into comfortable boots.

Behind her short skirt, there are two flying devices suspended in the air, extending obliquely towards the sky to form two purple wings made of unknown metal.

This girl must love purple...

The pupils of her beautiful big eyes are all purple...

But fortunately, the waist-length flying hair is black, except for those unidentified high-tech devices, which makes her look more like an ordinary earth girl.

Dad, I went out to play for thousands of years and then went home.

While changing the clothes on her body into a white skirt, the girl happily raised her wrist and shouted to her father who was far away from the endless stars:

Don't worry about me!

hum

As soon as the words fell, the black stripes on her wrists, waist and feet turned into black rings like jewelry, buckled on her body.

This made the girl very dissatisfied.

She screamed to her father again:

You restricted me to the Heavenly Father level, what if I am in danger!

That world can't stand your toss. If you encounter danger, just call me.

A deep voice sounded in the girl's ears. She curled her lips, snorted, and then turned her head to look at this strange world.

After a while she said to her old father:

Is there anything else you want to tell me? Dad, you're going to bed again, aren't you? You're such a slob!

Don't eat indiscriminately...

The deep voice sounded again.

As they approached, the sound of sleeping snoring floated, ending the conversation between father and daughter.

Tch, big slob!

The lively girl blinked her eyes, complained about her father again, then raised her head and took a deep breath.

A howling wind roared through New York City, surprising the people in the city.

Well, it's a nice world.

Standing by the tall building, the girl with beautiful purple eyes put her hands on her hips, rubbed her stomach, and licked her lips.

she says:

Even bacteria are so delicious... Well, I can't say, I can't say, I'm hungry again...

Ah, I'm so hungry...

Go find something to eat.
