Shadow of the Beautiful World

Nevada, desert.

This barren region in the heart of North America has always been home to various secret bases.

According to folk rumors, there is a mysterious Area 51 in this desert, where various alien corpses and spaceships are stored.

Of course, this is a nonsense rumor.

Alien-related items collected by the North American government are now stored in an isolated island prison in the Atlantic Ocean.

In Nevada, there are only a few bases of the Ministry of Defense and the Sky Eye Society.

Most of them were inherited from S.H.I.E.L.D., and there are a few small ones that were just built in the past few months after the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Now, a nearly 100-meter-high monster sprang out from the depths of the Nevada desert.

It is marked as Ancient Titan No. 20.

It is going along the desert road, over the mountains and towards the densely populated city of San Francisco on the west coast.

Of course, this is not the worst news that Amanda Waller has received today.

In the secret base of the Sky Eye Society, in a temporarily transferred conference room, Vivienne stood in front of a hung map of North America.

She hugged her shoulders, showed her demeanor as a top biologist, and easily held the audience.

The people sitting in the conference room are all old acquaintances who have dealt with S.H.I.E.L.D.

In addition to Amanda Waller, there are also Trevor, the contact of the Sky Eye Society in the White House, General Thaddeus Ross, the representative of the Ministry of Defense, and five representatives of the World Security Council.

Of course, with the exception of Waller, everyone else appeared in the meeting room in real-time projection.

Yes, you heard that right.

Vivian retold the bad news she told Waller just now to everyone in front of her. She said:

In addition to the No. 20 Titan, which is currently heading towards San Francisco, in the sky in the northwest of the North American continent, there is another suspected Titan No. 20 of the same kind that is flying in the direction of the mainland.

Its flight speed is very fast. According to the flight trajectory, it should have flown across the sea from the direction of Asia.

While speaking in a concise tone, Vivian took a signal pen and drew two straight lines on the map of North America behind her.

Pointing to the place where the lines meet, she said to everyone in the conference room:

The two Titans are using electromagnetic waves to communicate. The intersection of the male and female Titans' paths is on the west coast, off the coast of San Francisco. There should be radiation there...

So, Dr. Vivian, you think they went there for the radiation?

General Ross of the Ministry of Defense obviously knew about the worldwide radiation phenomenon, and he made his own guesses.

But the next moment, Vivienne denied General Ross's guess, and she said in a cold tone:

No, it's worse than that!

She raised her head, picked up the projected image at hand, and said:

I just had a remote discussion with my supervisor. According to our preliminary conclusions, this is a signal sent by the female and the male to each other, and they choose to gather in a place with radiation.

Their purpose is not just to devour the radiation, but to mate ... and then to lay eggs, and San Francisco will be their temporary nest.

Vivienne lowered her voice, and said to the participants whose faces changed greatly:

If we can't fight off two monsters before they can mate, the West Coast will be home to a whole bunch of these monsters...

According to the hatching speed of insects, under the condition of sufficient radiation, at most one week later...

The whole of North America is finished!

Vivienne threw the pen in her hand, and shook her hair quite chicly. She said to the people in front of her:

Everyone, gather those who can fight, and then immediately evacuate all residents in San Francisco and the surrounding area, it will become a battlefield.

I mean, the work of the biologists is over here, and it's time for the fighters.

What did you say?

In the mysterious room, Merlin who was called by Xuanlan with the emergency contact method raised his head in surprise.

He sat on the sofa, looked at the serious Xuanlan, and said:

What is the No. 20 Titan? There is also the city invasion and the destruction of the hive, what is going on?

Merlin complained:

Didn't everything go well a few days ago? Why did you suddenly enter this terrible rhythm?

You have to ask the Machina next to you about this.

Xuan Lan said with a straight face, expressionless:

I know that she went to an underground hollow world under the Arctic Ocean a few days ago, and detonated an alien ark there. In fact, when Hill shared this news with me, I immediately thought of Here it is.

Merlin's housekeeper said to him:

The outside world still doesn't know what happened to the sudden radiation wave around the world, but I think it should have something to do with what Icarus did in the underground world.

The radiation drifting along the sea water caused the restlessness of the ancient Titans, and in this restlessness, there appeared a new attracted Titan, Titan No. 20.

Xuan Lan handed a clear photo to Mei Lin.

The latter took a look in his hand, he pouted and said:

It's ugly! Compared with it, Kong is the handsome guy in Titan.

Yes, it looks ugly and extremely destructive.

Xuan Lan continued:

Just passing through Las Vegas destroyed one-sixth of that city, and the Ministry of Defense dispatched an official army.

But 10 minutes ago, an airborne division was defeated head-on. Conventional firepower could not harm it at all, and even the aerial bombs were only scratched.

It is useless except to irritate it. This monster can also release an electromagnetic shock similar to EMP. Wherever it goes, it is simply chaos.

Xuan Lan glanced at the unmoved Mei Lin, she said:

To make matters worse, this terrestrial bug has others of its kind who seem to be planning to build a nest in San Francisco and produce a brood of tiny bugs.

etc.

Merlin reached out and interrupted Xuanlan's description, he asked:

Why did Hill tell you this news, did she want me to intervene in this matter?

Xuan Lan nodded.

Merlin shook his head, he glanced at the photo in his hand again, and said:

Totally unnecessary! The Justice League can handle these two bugs.

Not Titan 20!

Xuan Lan explained in a low voice:

Hill is worried about something like what happened last time in New York.

Last time?

Merlin frowned.

He knew what Hill was talking about.

Half a year ago, during the chaos in New York, the gorilla Kong, who was brought into New York City by Hydra, lost control and attracted the siege of Clark, Thor and Tony, who almost killed the gorilla.

But just when they were about to kill, Godzilla, the king of monsters, suddenly intervened in this matter.

Godzilla flew and swam towards the North American continent. It was obvious that he came to save his subjects.

So, Hill wants me to deter Godzilla from appearing in this situation?

right.

Xuan Lan nodded, she said:

Judging from the actions of the two No. 20 Titans planning to build a nest, it is impossible to reconcile between them and humans, unless the two Titans give up their plans to mate and lay eggs.

The heroes of the Justice League also promised that they would banish, or even kill the Titan 20, but if they had to face 2 Titans and Godzilla at the same time, then they couldn't solve it.

Um.

Merlin nodded and said:

I understand, this is asking me to press the stage...

And what about your answer?

Xuanlan pushed her monocle, she said:

Hill is still waiting.

Of course it helps.

Merlin sighed and said:

It must be that Waller begged Fury. Fury couldn't hide his face, so he asked Hill to spread the word... Hill is very general, and indeed he rarely asks me for help.

Go and tell her, Lan, I'll keep an eye on what's going on here.

Um.

Xuan Lan turned and left. After she took a step, she looked back at Merlin.

she says:

Have you slept with Hill?

...

Meilin, who had just picked up the teacup, was a little overwhelmed by Xuanlan's straightforward question.

He glanced at Xuanlan expressionlessly, who covered her mouth and let out a chuckle.

she says:

You really are a passionate hero, Merlin, maybe the next time they ask you for help, they should prepare a few beautiful girls dedicated to Lord Raven in advance. This is much more useful than gold and silver treasures.

I'm going out for a while.

The vain king, who was made a little hot by Xuanlan's pungent sarcasm, stood up and walked quickly to any door of the mysterious house. He reached out and held the door lock, and then pulled it out.

Where are you going?

When Xuan Lan asked, Mei Lin said without looking back:

I'll take a look at the place where Titan No. 20 came from. The two worms were not born in the same place, which proves that they were located in different underground worlds when they grew up.

Lord Raven said indifferently:

The other Titans don't take the initiative to hurt people. I can pretend that they don't exist, but these two guys are so fierce. If there is a third or fourth Titan, it will be very troublesome...

I still have my own things to do, I don't have time to wipe Tianyan's ass every time.

Two appeared on the ground, and maybe there will be more left in the underground world. I will find their lair and kill them to avoid future troubles.

Having said that, Mei Lin suddenly turned his head, glanced at Xuan Lan, and said with a hint of resentment:

Of course, the most important reason is that going anywhere is better than staying here and listening to you nagging me... Lan, if you continue to mock me with sharp teeth, you will lose me.

whispering sound.

Xuanlan put her hands on her hips and said disdainfully:

In the human TV series I watched, old couples and old wives get along like this...Forget it, you go outside to play, and remember to come back for dinner on time.

I'm not a kid, God.

Merlin shook his head, and walked into any door in front of him.

This is his astral projection, and his body is still busy in the wasteland hell.

Merlin first appeared in Nevada, and went all the way down the large pit made by the No. 20 Titan in the desert, but to his surprise, the pit did not lead to any underground world.

Isn't it born in the underground world? Was it born on the ground?

Merlin frowned, looking at the place nearly a thousand meters deep underground, he sniffed it, and found that there was some smell of nuclear radiation left here.

This should be the place where the North American government used to bury and dispose of nuclear waste. Titan No. 20 probably grew rapidly by swallowing nuclear waste.

swish

Merlin's figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he crossed the entire Pacific Ocean and appeared in a certain mountainous area in Japan, where the male of Titan No. 20 took off.

It followed the crater all the way down, and found that the crater extended from the seabed of Dongying to a certain mountain in Southeast Asia.

At the end of the tiankeng under the mountain, Merlin's figure emerged from the darkness.

As he expected, the male insects did not emerge from the underground world.

20 Titan males were also born in the surface world.

This also meant that things did not enter the worst situation as Merlin expected.

The two No. 20 Titans should be the same as Kong, the descendants of their race.

Merlin no longer needed to think of a way to catch their kind and kill them all.

But this trip is not a waste of time, because Merlin discovered in the depths of the mountains in Southeast Asia, which is better than killing to release anxiety...

something more precious.

In a cave nearly 2,000 meters deep underground, in the dead darkness, Merlin saw a secret hidden here that no one knew.

A skeleton!

A large, dinosaur-like skeleton.

Its head cranium is connected to the coccyx, at least 200 meters long.

Judging from the scattered bones embedded in the ancient rocks that have become fossils and are still relatively intact, this huge and terrifying ancient creature should have died here tens of thousands of years ago.

And before it was alive, it was definitely an ancient Titan-level life form.

Most importantly, from the shape of the skeleton, Merlin could tell its identity.

Godzilla...

No, the same race of Godzilla, the same race that died tens of thousands of years ago!

It is even very possible that it is the mother or father of the current monster king.

It's a pity, it's dead...

Merlin landed on the ground of this dead and silent underground cave. He stretched out his hand and stroked the remains of this ancient giant beast in the world.

Just from the remaining bones, as huge as a mountain, Merlin could feel how majestic and terrifying this creature must have been when it was still alive.

The giant beast full of power tramples on the world, and every roar of it will make the world tremble.

Too bad it died...

All things rest.

However, for an evil hell lord, death is just the beginning of another story.

Snapped

Merlin's hand lightly patted on the bone, making a deep sound like iron and stone.

In the darkness, he showed a gentle smile, matching the environment in front of him, it was scary no matter how you looked at it.

When I see you again, I know it's time for me to hurry up and learn necromancer magic.

Merlin stroked the bones of the ancient Godzilla, he said:

Is this... the reward for doing good deeds this time?

Hill, my good wife, I will accept the war money you gave me!
