Shadow of the Beautiful World

swish

A white spider web shot out from Peter's wrist, sticking to the edge of a torn building like a bullet.

Peter, who was holding a spider web, was holding a weird metal helmet, like a dangling orangutan, quickly walking through the ruins of this deserted city amidst cheerful screams.

The boy's movements were deft and quick, with every swing like a spider preying on it.

He doesn't stay in the air all the time, and occasionally lands on the surface of the ruins of the high-rise buildings, 90° to the ground, just like parkour, running a dozen steps along the surface of the high-rise buildings, and then soaring into the sky again .

Although he is still a little immature between the occasional jumps, this city mirrored in dimensions is Peter's best practice ground.

A few minutes later, Peter landed on the edge of the ruins behind Merlin, crouching like a spider on top of the cracked wall.

He looked down, and he could see the headless body of the black dwarf, and his uncle.

Uncle, who was that woman just now?

Holding his booty, Peter happily asked:

I saw you chatting with her just now, and she is still kneeling beside you. Is she your subordinate?

Or is it your lover like Sister Zatanna? And, and, she has wings! Is she an angel? An angel like Miss Luther?

That's a friend.

Merlin raised his head and hooked his nephew.

Peter chuckled, jumped up from the edge of the broken wall, flipped a few times in the air, and landed firmly beside his uncle.

Don't tell anyone else when I met her.

Merlin patted Peter on the head, and he said softly:

This is a secret you must keep, understand?

Well...

The little spider gave his uncle a strange look.

A 13-year-old child doesn't know many things yet, but he already knows a lot.

For example, Aunt Mei often chatted with him about his uncle, the wives around him, his lover and so on.

I can't let other people know, does this mean that my romantic uncle and the angel just now are really a little... hehehe.

Peter showed a knowing expression.

He nodded to his uncle, stretched out his finger, pulled it on his lips, made a zipper movement, and said with conviction:

Don't worry, uncle, I won't reveal your secret! I won't tell the aunts.

you...

From Peter's eyes, Merlin knew that the little guy had misunderstood something.

The reason why he asked Peter to keep it secret was because he didn't want the news that he had a close relationship with Heaven to be guessed by other old ghosts, but...

Forget it, no explanation.

Merlin felt a little tired at this moment.

Every time a new woman appeared around him, the family members would use this kind of malicious speculation to try to figure him out, and the very clean-spirited Lord Raven didn't want to explain anything anymore.

He waved his hand and tore open a light curtain leading to the wasteland. Under the command of Icarus, a large number of hell omnics quickly poured into the dimensional mirror to help the Maharaja deal with the things left by the Chitauri.

This dimensional mirror will only be canceled after everything has been cleared.

What's this?

Merlin looked at the metal helmet in Peter's arms, and he asked:

It looks like a Chitauri helmet. What are you doing with it?

This is an alien commander I personally defeated!

Holding the silver-white battle helmet in both hands, Peter lifted it up and said to Merlin:

I just found it was alive and tried to escape, so I rushed up and knocked it down. It's a valuable trophy, and it's cool, isn't it? I'm going to put it in my room as a memorial today's fight.

Then you'd better clean up the alien parasites on it first.

Merlin stretched out his finger and tapped on the top of Peter's head. He said:

Those parasites from the Chitauri's body may not hurt you, but they may hurt May. To be a hero, you must not do things carelessly. Preparing in advance is more important than dealing with it afterwards. Everything must be planned .”

You don't necessarily need to live today's day every day to be called a superhero. Use your abilities to help those in need, even if it's doing some trivial things.

Lord Raven looked back at the omnics who were collecting the corpses of the Chitauri, and he said to Peter:

The reason why heroes are called heroes is not because they can only beat bad people. You can use your own hands to do something better than killing.

It will probably take a day or two for them to clean up the ruins. You can continue to stay here and practice your abilities above board. I will let Liana and Damon prepare a venue for you to practice confrontation.

In the next period of time, they will teach you how to fight, so you must practice hard.

After finishing speaking, Merlin walked towards a broken but still intact door in the ruins. He waved to Peter and said:

Then, I hope that when we meet next time, you will become more like a hero... do more good deeds, read more books, cause less trouble and die less.

I'll keep an eye on you, Spider-Man!

Snapped

Merlin turned the lock on the door, and walked from the noisy ruins into the quiet and mysterious house step by step. It was like two worlds separated by a door.

Xuan Lan was waiting for him by the door. After Merlin arrived, she said to Raven:

Mei is resting. I just checked her. She is healthy and was not hurt by Queen Skrull.

Um.

Merlin nodded, without speaking, he walked towards the sofa by the fireplace, Xuanlan followed behind him.

The housekeeper said softly:

And the comatose queen, how to deal with it?

Throw it to Icarus.

Lord Raven said calmly:

Velanke has the most powerful disguise replacement ability among the Skrulls. Maybe we can find some helpful information in the study of her genes.

Oh, by the way, cut off the head and send it to Fury. Black Bolt and his aliens just need the head of the Skrull to become their ladder to the top of the Kree Empire.

Um.

Xuan Lan nodded, but didn't say much.

Queen Skrull is not a big deal, at least not to Lord Raven.

Merlin took a few steps forward and sat on the sofa by the burning fireplace. On the table in front of him was a large box.

It was a beautifully decorated wooden box, with a very coquettish and beautiful bow tied on the wooden box with a red ribbon, as if it was a well-prepared gift.

Ten minutes ago, Loki sent this by magic.

Xuan Lan stood beside Mei Lin, she looked at the wooden box and said:

She said that she wanted to go home to see her mother, and then came back to visit you. She also said that she needs your help with some things. This gift is her advance payment.

Yeah?

Raven stretched out his fingers, untied the feminine bow on the wooden box, and opened the wooden box.

At this moment, the golden light illuminated the dim hall. In the box in front of Raven's eyes, there was a silver, Asgardian-style staff, and in the center of the staff was a soft heart. Light golden crystal gemstone.

Within the outline of the gemstone, there is a suspended golden rough stone.

The Mind Stone?

Xuan Lan looked at the staff in surprise, she looked at the expressionless Merlin, she said:

Why did Loki give this to you?

It's not 'send'.

Merlin reached out to pick up the icy staff, and stroked the gem in the center of the staff with his fingers. He said:

Didn't she say it all, this is an 'advance' 'remuneration', she knows what I need to use this gem for, she is really a very smart girl.

Okay, for the sake of this gem, I will help her, whatever she wants.

Raven grabbed the staff and stood up, a glimmer of expectation flashed in his blue eyes, he said to Xuan Lan:

Lan, come with me to Elsa, my poor wife, she is going free.

Just today!

————————

Elsa Bloodstone has been staying in the mystery room recently.

She spends most of the day in a deep sleep. She has the evil spirit Skadi bred by hoarfrost in her body. Although she was hit hard by the raven design before, the evil spirit is restless.

She has been trying to regain control of Elsa's body, and even Elsa has to spend a lot of energy to suppress her in her body.

Because the evil spirit was born from Elsa's spirit, the two were one from the beginning.

Their situation is very similar to the state of the phoenix girl Qin Gray and the evil spirit black phoenix. They confront each other and are connected. It is almost impossible to separate the two by cutting.

This must rely on more mysterious forces.

I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

In the magic laboratory of the mysterious house, Elsa was awakened with a sleepy laziness. She reached out and plucked her long silver hair, took off the decorations on her hair, and let her long hair be like a waterfall The same sprinkled behind.

Under Merlin's gaze, Elsa turned her head and smiled at him, then reached out and unbuttoned her clothes, letting the robe slip off her smooth skin.

Exposing her body in front of her lover did not make Miss Bloodstone feel shy. She showed her body generously while preparing for the imminent separation of her soul.

Her appearance was fixed at the age of 16 by the time gem, which made Elsa's body look quite young, which did not match the mature appearance of his wife in Merlin's memory.

But one thing remains constant.

On Elsa's jade-like skin, there is a white chill that is visible to the naked eye. Although the Skadi evil spirit is suppressed, the power derived from the white frost still changed her.

You'll fix me, won't you?

With the help of Xuan Lan, the naked Miss Blood Stone sat on a stone platform made of black stone, and the stone platform was covered with various runes.

She sat there, looking at Merlin who was holding the staff, she said to Merlin:

We'll go back to the old days and never part again, right?

Yes, I promise.

Raven smiled gently. He reached out and wiped Elsa's cold face, and said softly:

You just need to sleep and when you open your eyes...

You have to kiss me awake.

Elsa let out a series of chuckles, she lay on the stone platform, stretched her body, she tilted her head, and said to her lover:

As described in the story, wake me up from my deep sleep with a warm kiss.

You've really watched too much love recently.

Merlin shook his head helplessly. He picked up the staff and poured orange vanity power into the staff. The Mind Stone dotted in the center of the staff also shone brightly.

Under the radiance of that light, Merlin gently said to Miss Bloodstone who was looking at him expectantly:

But, well, I will.

Only then did Miss Bloodstone close her eyes in satisfaction, and a few seconds later, she fell into a deep sleep.

Those white chills lingered on Elsa's body, just like the legendary Sleeping Beauty.

Waiting for his own prince.

A sound of ice shattering sounded from the stone platform. Skadi seemed to have a premonition of his doomsday, and the crazy evil spirits began to fight for control of the body even more frantically.

A layer of frost visible to the naked eye covered Elsa's skin, and those shining ice flakes refracted weird light.

In Merlin's eyes, he could see the ferocious-faced evil spirits screaming at him in those ice blocks, full of malice and madness.

Shout, shout as much as you want.

Merlin lightly tapped the staff on Elsa's chest, and he said to the evil spirit in the ice after death:

Let me listen carefully, you howl of a defeated dog.

hum

The fusion of orange and gold light spots penetrated into Elsa's body, and Merlin, holding the staff, with the help of the magical power of the Mind Stone, saw Elsa's cold soul open the door to him.

His consciousness merged into it, as if he had entered a world where everything was frozen.

This spiritual world is barren, with snow flying all over the sky, not a single blade of grass grows on the ground, and there is only an eternal glacier in sight.

I and Elsa are one!

In the cold wind, Skadi roared with a high-pitched voice full of hatred and viciousness, and she screamed:

I am the darkness of her soul, like two sides of a coin, I am her! Don't even think about stripping me, ever!

Who said I'm going to strip you?

Merlin stood in the frost-covered field of vision. He raised his head and looked directly at the vicious consciousness hidden in the ice and snow all over the sky. He held a ball of golden light in his hand and said:

I didn't mean to hurt you, poor Skadi, I wanted to set you free...

You may not understand the power of the Mind Gem. Let me explain it to you. It can manipulate people's hearts and interpret souls, but it also has a more powerful ability. It can give the will an entity.

The raven raised its hand and threw the golden light into the air. It soared rapidly and rushed into the hazy clouds. Then, a round of golden sunlight shone in the sky.

The ice and snow melted and everything recovered.

Raven looked at the rapidly melting glaciers in the distance, and the seeds bursting out of the ground under his feet, and the whole spiritual world became alive at this moment.

He squatted down and stroked the flowers blooming under the golden sunlight. On the green grass, he said:

I will not split you from Elsa's soul, it would hurt my wife.

I will give her freedom, and I will also give you freedom. You don't need to live in Elsa's soul anymore. I will use the Mind Stone to create your own body for you...

Now, you are free, Skadi.

Merlin smiled, and he plucked the white flower from the ground in his hand.

He stroked the little white flower swaying in his hand, and said:

Embrace freedom.

Snapped

Raven's five fingers tightened, and the white flower was completely crushed in his hands.

He put the remains of the petals to his ears, and he listened to the unwilling wailing, he said softly:

Then...

Embrace death.
