Shadow of the Beautiful World

You are looking for me in a hurry, what's the matter?

At the edge of the wasteland's throne room, a white chasm rose from the shadows.

Amidst the swaying light, Ciri, who was wearing this white suit and high heels, walked out of the crack with her head held high and her sword on her back.

Yo, changed clothes.

While pondering over the quantum runes on the second page of the Raven Book, Merlin said without raising his head:

This is dressed like a business elite, what is he doing?

Forget it, it's annoying.

Ciri sat on the chair beside Merlin, crossed her legs, and said carelessly:

Over there in 2077, do you remember? I told you, I found a job there, and some friends, a guy named Silver Hand, recently encountered some small troubles, and I went to help .”

Fighting in a white suit?

Merlin said in surprise:

Are people in 2077 so particular?

Who said it was a fight?

Shirley's eyes widened, the scars on his face twitched, and he looked quite evil.

she says:

It's just a stand, to show that I'm a big boss, to frighten those non-mainstream little bastards, and I won't mention the era when demons danced wildly...By the way, why are you looking for me?

I want you to take me to 1970.

Merlin put down the Raven Book, and the reflections of those runes were still flashing in his eyes.

He raised his head and said to Ciri:

Go to Howard and Nathaniel, I'm going to see the progress of deciphering the infinite formula, and please do something for me. Speaking of which, about Nora...

boom

Something was dropped by Merlin's hand.

It was a soul stone that shone with a black luster.

Merlin picked up the stone and looked at it in front of his eyes. In the soul-like luster, he could vaguely see a fat woman.

Nora Allen, the wife of Henry Allen, and the mother of Barry Jr. died tragically in a supernatural event.

No trouble?

Merlin put away the soul stone, raised his head, and asked:

Didn't the angels of heaven stop you?

Of course they stopped.

Shirley curled her lips, she reached out and brushed the bangs on her cheek, she said:

Almost got into a fight, but an archangel appeared there and knocked off those star angels. She asked me to bring you a sentence... let's not say it as an example.

Oh, sounds like an acquaintance.

Merlin says:

It's Gabriel?

Yes, Gabriel, she is a very chic looking woman, but what I doubt is that she has just arrived at Heavenly Father at most.

Shirley said suspiciously:

It stands to reason that she doesn't have the ability to travel through time. How would she know that you led this matter?

It's very simple.

Merlin stood up, straightened his robe, and pointed to the sky mysteriously, he said:

Because she has a good boss...

Okay, this matter is over. I still need you to pay attention to the night when Nora died. If Barry really appeared there through time, you have to prevent him from interfering in that matter, okay?

Stop? How to stop?

Ciri is already a member of the Children of Hell. Although she doesn't stay in Hell permanently, she will still try her best to complete the things Merlin entrusts.

But this time she struck a blank tone.

She spread her hands, rolled her eyes, and said to Merlin:

You don't know how lively Allen's house was that night. I just glanced at it. There are at least 17 Barry Allen hidden in the corners, each from a different timeline... I miss my mother's departure.

Also, Merlin, I also found something interesting. When you met Henry and Nora for the first time, there were at least 4 Flashes standing behind you...

Cilia seemed to intend to scare Merlin with these words, but Raven didn't respond.

After knowing that Barry can travel through time, he has already guessed the hidden truths of the past.

But after all, Ciri did not refuse Merlin's request.

Traveling through time is not difficult for Ciri, but it is a bit difficult to stop a guy like Barry with the speed force, but Ciri also has his own method, the blood of the elders can not only travel through time.

Its improvement in combat is also very impressive. When Merlin first entered the legend, he was beaten badly by Ciri.

According to Ciri's fighting talent, when she becomes a heavenly father, she will definitely be more difficult to deal with than ordinary heavenly fathers, but this is also the problem.

The blood that made her strong was also dragging her down.

The power of the blood of the elders can only grow slowly with time. It is difficult for Ciri to use daily exercise to revive the blood of the elders faster. She can only wait and wait.

hum

Ciri stretched out her fingers, sliding them in the air in front of her eyes like unzipping a zipper.

A white arc of light shrouded her fingers like a dancing arc, and where Shirley's fingers passed, an extremely fragile and unstable door opened.

Merlin could see that the scenery of another era was reflected in the beating of the light curtain.

It is not much different from now, the young people on the street seem to be more free.

It’s less depressing and more lively. Well, the flared trousers and back-cut hairstyles that were popular in that era, as well as those carrying audio equipment, look quite weird now.

1970, another era...

Merlin sighed with emotion, then stepped into it, and was soon engulfed by the water-like light curtain.

This process does not happen overnight.

Just like the experience of trying the magic of Portkey for the first time, Merlin seemed to be walking in a colorful tunnel, he was levitating forward, and Ciri followed behind.

When the high heels collide with the light on the ground, it is like stepping on a layer of water, leaving swaying waves along the way.

You are a powerful heavenly father, you can't stay in that era for too long, it will cause strong time and space disturbance.

Hillary exhorted:

At most 30 minutes, I will take you away, otherwise this timeline will change, from the same continuous line with your time, to another completely different timeline...it will become a parallel world.

What's the difference? The two.

Merlin asked curiously:

Will something catastrophic happen?

This is not necessarily.

Ciri shrugged and said:

But it is more difficult to jump into the parallel world, and it is more difficult to control the landing point. If you are not careful, some bad things will happen. If you don't want to risk everything you are doing now, you'd better Well, do as I say.

Time, this is a very serious concept.

All right.

Lord Raven is as good as others. He stepped out of the tunnel of light curtain and asked:

I'm curious, where did you get all this knowledge? Was it given to you by the blood of the elders?

I learned it myself.

Shirley said unconvinced:

How can there be anything born to know? After messing up a lot of timelines, no matter how stupid I am, I still have to learn some experience, right?

Fine.

Merlin swung his wide sleeves as a farewell to Ciri.

The moment he completely stepped out of the light curtain, he entered a special space located underground.

The location here is unknown, but it should look like a laboratory of a military base, with experimental equipment everywhere, and Nathaniel Richards in a white coat is standing on the side, writing all kinds of complicated symbols meditating at the blackboard.

Beside him, Howard Stark was wearing goggles, sitting on a chair and admiring the latest Playboy magazine in December 2010. He seemed to have just finished an experiment.

cough cough

Merlin coughed, waking up the two people in front of him. Howard quickly hid the magazine in his hand, then straightened his collar, pretending nothing happened.

Merlin looked at them and said:

How is the progress of deciphering?

Howard and Nathaniel were no strangers to Merlin. After all, when the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield was still there, Merlin was the focus of that organization.

After that organization was disbanded, the respective members were sent back to their respective eras, but some members were contacted by Siria and took over a big project given by Merlin

Really big project.

On the derivation and production of infinite formula.

Merlin has the Kree version of the Infinity Formula and the human version of the incomplete Infinity Formula. He also ventured to get the biological samples of the Celestial Group from the Celestial Group sleeping in the sun.

It can be said that the possibility of completely deciphering the infinite formula is already very high, but this is still not a job that ordinary scientists can do.

Merlin can only entrust it to the most powerful wisdom in each age to handle it. Fortunately, with Ciri's assistance, it is not too difficult to carry out this cross-age project.

There is progress, but definitely not as much as you think.

Tony's father, Howard Stark raised his head. Like a staff member reporting work progress, he threw a picture to Merlin impatiently.

The latter is in hand.

It was found that there were several genetic comparison maps, and the standards were densely packed with scientific symbols, which was like a heavenly book to Merlin.

Let me explain.

Nathaniel's temper was obviously better than Howard's. Dr. Reed's father stepped forward, took the atlas, and placed it in front of Merlin.

He pointed to the different genetic maps and said to Merlin:

The first is the genetic map of the Cree, the second is the human map, and the third is the genetic map of the Celestial Group. There is no need to understand these scientific symbols, just from the complexity and similarity...see Is there a difference?

Um.

Lord Raven is not an idiot.

Under Nathaniel's reminder, he could see the difference between these pictures at a glance.

If these complex graphs are simply summed up in the form of data nodes, then there are probably thousands of nodes on the genetic graph of the Cree people, while there are less than 500 nodes on the human graph.

As for the genetic map of the Tenjin Group...

The dense data points, like the vast stars, are almost uncountable.

It is said that 80% of the life in the universe comes from the life seeding of the Celestial Group at the beginning of the universe. Those mysterious creatures used their own genes as a blueprint, and sprinkled the original life to the entire barren stars.

Nathaniel moved his finger back and forth between the three pictures and said:

Whether it's human beings or Cree people, our genetic modules all come from the gene modules of the Celestial Group. If you look carefully, you can even find the same genes as human beings and Cree people in the starry sky-like modules. part of the genetic identity.

But compared to the life forms of the Celestial Group, we are obviously too far behind...

Nathaniel sighed and said:

But that's not the point. Since we started from the same origin, it means that as long as we untie the shackles of genes, we can continue to evolve, and eventually reach the life form of the Celestial Group, and even surpass that life form.

Howard also interjected:

This is what the infinite formula exists for.

The Celestial Group uses countless life experiments as petri dishes to try to cultivate a real 'perfect life', and the infinite formula is the key to perfection, it can untie the shackles of biological genes and give a life infinite possibilities.

But only if we understand the secrets of these genes, can we find the key... The infinite formula blueprint you brought about the Kree people is very useful, and we can deduce the process of this calculation in reverse.

Howard took off his goggles, and regretfully said to Merlin:

Actually, before you, the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield also studied the infinite formula. Dr. Isaac Newton even claimed that he had created the infinite formula. He used that thing to configure medicine and let the great prophet Nostradamus get rid of the infinite formula. die...

But after obtaining the gene samples from the Celestial Group, we found that what Dr. Newton discovered was only a broken formula.

To deduce a complete, human version of the infinite formula, it is necessary to collect all the gene forms that currently exist in human beings, and make time-consuming big data comparisons.

Howard waved his hand, and he said to Merlin:

Master Zhang Heng and Mr. Hippocrates are busy with this matter, and there may be a result soon, but if you want the finished product of the infinite formula right now, then we really can't do it.

No, you misunderstood.

Merlin shook his head, he handed a vial containing blood to Nathaniel, he explained:

I came here for another thing. This drop of blood comes from the Kryptonians. They should also be the life forms planned by the Cosmic Celestial Group, and I can be sure that they will go farther than humans and Kree people in terms of evolution. .”

The most wonderful thing is that in this drop of blood, there is an integration of all the genetic samples of Kryptonians from birth to extinction... I will give it to you now, what I want to ask is how long will it take you to make Kryptonians version of the infinite formula?

Merlin's question made Nathaniel and Howard look at each other.

Nathaniel took the blood bottle from Merlin's hand, and he walked quickly to another laboratory for blood gene analysis.

Howard stood up, completely ignoring the laboratory's no-smoking rule, and Shi Shiran lit a cigar.

After smoky thinking, he raised his head, looked at Merlin, and said:

If it really includes all the Kryptonian gene modules, with the help of comparison with the Celestial Genome gene and the inverse deduction of the continuation of the Cree's infinite formula...then we should have a result in at most 2 months.

But you have to understand, Merlin, even if there is a result, it may not be correct.

Howard said seriously:

After all, no one has ever seen the infinite formula in the true sense, and no one knows what effect it will have... Do you understand what I mean?

I know.

Merlin said calmly:

It's not so easy to be the first person to eat crabs. If what he eats is not crabs but black widow spiders, then... In short, feel free to try it boldly.

I have a brother who shoulders a heavy mission and has made up his mind to die...

He is a strong Kryptonian, and he refuses other people's help, but he does need some help and some luck, so he will also be a good drug tester.

As for whether this thing is as magical as it is said to be, and whether we have spent so much manpower and material resources on earth, is it a waste of time? I know you all have this doubt, including me...

Just wait patiently, after three months, we will know the result.
