Shadow of the Beautiful World

You've got me in trouble.

In the mysterious room, in front of Lord Raven, a slightly teasing sentence appeared on the parchment.

On top of the big, nasty stick figure with an angry expression, Oneiroi's elegant handwriting kept appearing, as if an invisible typewriter was spitting out words.

He said to Merlin:

In your world, Loki's fate has been diverted. It can be said that this change originated from you, but now, you want me to lead him back to his own destiny. It's very difficult, Merlin, it's quite difficult .”

Lord Raven searched and searched, but couldn't find his beloved quill.

He suddenly remembered that his pen had been destroyed in the rune painting just now, which made Merlin a little regretful. He snapped his fingers lightly, and Xuan Lan, who had a sympathy with him, appeared like a ghost.

The housekeeper handed the maharaja a simple pen, kissed the maharaja on the face, and then disappeared as quietly as when she came.

Merlin shrugged, waved his hand and wrote on the parchment:

If it's simple, then I'll do it myself, so I don't need to bother you.

So why did you agree to him?

Oneiroi ignored Merlin's cheeky answer, and asked:

You can completely prevaricate. Loki is different from you. He hasn't read the comics. He doesn't know how difficult this road is. You can save him, but you didn't.

If I said I was on a whim, would you rush out of the stars and beat me up?

Merlin wrote a question on the parchment.

Moments later, a large stick figure representing anger appeared on the parchment, but Oneiroi's answer was also quite interesting.

He said:

you guess?

Okay, okay, no kidding.

Merlin was in a pretty good mood today, he wrote on the parchment:

First of all, because Loki has finally found a path of his own, and an unexpected factor that would interfere with Asgard's recovery has been eliminated. I owe Odin favors. Because of the big snake, I don't want to see Loki again. This element of instability continues to be active.

It's in line with my position to find something for him to do so that he won't have the energy to plan more conspiracies for the time being.

Merlin narrowed his eyes, and he continued to write:

I've read that comic, and I know that if Orochi really has a destined battle with Thor, then Loki's participation is absolutely indispensable.

Although that prophecy may no longer follow the direction of the comic, but with the help of a story god, Thor's chances of surviving are obviously higher.

Faced with Merlin's answer, Oneiroi did not express his position.

After several minutes, he asked suspiciously:

That's it?

That's it!

Merlin was leaning on the sofa. He was reminiscing about the wonderful dance of the dancer Loki just now. A smile appeared on the corner of Raven Lord's mouth. He raised his finger and waved it twice. Continued to write:

If I have to add another reason, Loki's dance just now was pretty good, it's really pleasing to the eye. So, good work is rewarded, don't you think?

I think you are dizzy.

Oneiroi replied bluntly:

It's been a while since we talked last time. Compared with your previous state full of conspiracy, you seem to be a lot more relaxed now?

It makes you feel good that everything is going well, doesn't it?

Yes.

Merlin rubbed his chin and replied calmly:

Being busy with conspiracy for a long time makes me move in the shadows for a long time. Although I don't hate that kind of warm darkness, it's good to bask in the sun once in a while.

Elsa came back to me, which gave me a feeling of lost and found. I suddenly realized that I have neglected my family and friends recently, which should not be done.

Maybe I should face everything that comes next with a more calm attitude.

Lord Raven breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and said softly:

For a long time, the shadow of failure has weighed on my heart like a boulder, and occasionally even made me breathless.

I have made a lot of plans and prepared a lot, but among all the assumptions, only one kind of imagination is not a victory. In fact, I should have realized this after scaring Gao Tianzun and the collector away last time. .”

Accompanied by the sound of the raven, the pen moved continuously, converting the sound into words, and passing them on to the Oneiroi beyond the stars.

He said to his friend:

I don't really need to be afraid of them. They just look scary. But I also have my own advantages.

Fine, keep that mentality.

Oneiroi's handwriting emerged on the parchment, as if encouraging, he said to Merlin:

I've never told you the story about Overlord and Reaper. I don't want to put too much pressure on you, but now, you have somewhat similar to them.

May I take that as a compliment?

Merlin frowned and asked:

Why do I feel that your words don't seem like a compliment?

It's a compliment, believe me, but if you want to beat them, you have to keep working.

Oneiroi wrote the last words, ending the brief exchange.

At the same moment, behind Merlin, the door leading to his storage room was also pushed open.

Holding a psychic staff, Ms. Loki, wearing a green windbreaker and a golden horned helmet, came out of Lord Raven's storage room, holding a rolled-up parchment in her hand.

It looked very subtly similar to the parchment in Merlin's hand.

You talked to him, didn't you?

Merlin who was sitting on the sofa said softly:

He's always cryptic, isn't he?

Faced with Raven Lord's question, Loki nodded with a complicated complexion, and she said:

Can the person who claims to be Oneiroi really help me?

certainly.

Lord Raven chuckled lightly, and he replied:

There is no one in the world who is better at telling stories than him.

If you want to become the god of stories, you have to learn from him. Of course, he is not easy to get along with. You probably need to spend some time.

I suggest that you don't do this right away. The battle for the supreme mage is about to begin, Loki, if you can become the supreme mage, then you don't need to search hard for this special power.

Loki nodded.

She looked at the parchment in her hand with complicated eyes. It was the page she tore from the Dark God Book by herself according to Merlin's instructions.

She finally put it away carefully.

When leaving the mysterious room, Loki suddenly remembered something. She looked back at Lord Raven who was hiding on the sofa, closing his eyes and meditating. She said:

One more thing. When I went to the stars to find Thanos, I heard a piece of news about Peter Quill during the journey.

Loki pursed his lips and said:

It is said that a mysterious figure has come to the Milky Way and is looking for Quill all over the world, and that guy has recently gotten closer to your subordinates.

Yeah?

Lord Raven frowned.

He knew the story of the encounter between Peter Quill, Rocket Raccoon, and Angela, but he didn't pay much attention to Quill, an Earth pirate with a complicated background.

However, judging from the information Loki brought back, it seems that this young man still has some secrets.

And in the pile of comics brought back by Deadpool, it seems that there is indeed information about Peter Quill, but Merlin didn't pay much attention to him.

I'll pay attention.

Merlin stood up, folded his hands behind his back, looked at Loki, and said:

Thank you for your reminder, Miss Rocky. Then in return, I will also give you a piece of news about the power of the 'God of Stories' you are pursuing.

There was a gleam in Lord Raven's blue eyes, and he said to Loki:

Everyone in Asgard says that the young Loki is the god of mischief, but your behavior can actually be predicted. Although you are deviant, based on your past, you can always guess some of your future.

A mischievous god whose decision can be guessed is not qualified. Similarly, a story whose direction can be guessed is not attractive at all. You know, readers are very picky.

A good story must have an unexpected twist.

Merlin pointedly said:

If you want to be a story-writer and have the ability to influence destiny, you must first become unfathomable, and you must first free yourself from the influence of established destiny.

What's the meaning?

Loki frowned, doubts written all over her pretty face.

She looked at Merlin, and she said:

Can you be more clear? Don't make this as cloudy as the oracle.

Alright alright.

Lord Raven floated to Loki's side, he looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and said in a low voice:

I mean find a chance and die once.

Separate your existence completely from the long river of fate, become a bystander, recorder, and observer, first get out of the story, so that you can see the overall situation, and then find ways to intervene in the story and influence the story.

Merlin reached out and patted the sluggish Loki on the shoulder, he said with a light smile:

It is said that there are three goddesses of fate in Asgard who rule the fate of all things in the world, but there is no such thing. Asgard does not have a god of destiny in the true sense, but you may be the first.

Maybe you can become greater than Thor and Odin because of this, maybe you can change the fate of Odin and Thor, and even the entire Asgard, I am optimistic about you.

Okay, I can only help you here.

Raven made a please gesture, and he said:

My wife is waiting for me, so I won't see you off.

Go all the way, Miss Rocky. Oh, by the way, next time I have a chance, I will ask you to dance again. Your dancing posture is really good.

—

Merlin's household affairs have been completely resolved, and Lord Raven is in a good mood.

His good comrade-in-arms Nick Fury was also in a great mood, and the always gloomy former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. had a rare smile on his face. He was standing in the warehouse of a. Looking at the pile of things piled up in front of him.

A bunch of heads.

The head of a Skrull.

This scene is a bit weird, a black man wearing a blindfold stands in front of a pile of scalp-numbing heads, with a weird smile flashing across his face from time to time.

To be honest, there is no need to make too many modifications, this picture can be directly used for shooting horror movies.

Finally, all these bastards have been wiped out. I have been busy for almost 2 years.

Fury crossed his hips, looking at the hundreds of heads in special metal jars in front of him, his one-eyed eyes were full of relief.

The grievances between him and the Skrulls are difficult to explain clearly.

In the Battle of New York, SHIELD collapsed, Merlin died in battle, and the order of the entire world was almost destroyed. One of the big reasons was that a Skrull disguised himself as Nick Fury.

The Skrulls played a sad, but also teeth-gnashing role in the catastrophe that wiped out Fury's first half of his life.

Since being rescued from the Skrull stronghold by Superman and Madam Carol, Fury has been busy clearing up the Skrull affairs. This is not only the need to protect the world, but also a personal matter that cannot be put aside. contradiction.

In the act of destroying the Skrulls, Fury played the role of an avenger, and now that the vengeance has been avenged, he is naturally open-minded and happy.

However, for someone like Fury, it is not enough to just kill this group of chaotic thugs, he also has to maximize the interests of all the dead Skrulls.

Squeeze out the last use value of these bastards.

And the best part is, he already has a plan.

Ten minutes later, the spaceship carrying hundreds of heads docked in the blue zone of the moon, in the star port of the alien city Attilan.

Fury walked out of the spaceship with a few friends, and at a glance, he saw a group of aliens repairing some ruins in the star port, and the air here was filled with the smell of gunpowder that Fury was very familiar with.

There must have been a war here just now, and not a small one at that.

Fury looked left and right, and soon, he saw the people who came to greet him, Crystal the Inhuman Princess, and Daisy Johnson, a member of the royal family Shockwave.

What's going on here?

Fury asked in a low voice:

Is there a war in Attilan too?

It's Maximus.

The little crystal princess curled her lips, and said in a cold tone:

The Skrull bastard who pretended to be Maximus launched a rebellion while the royal family members were away, but we were prepared, so we didn't cause any trouble.

But the problem is that less than six hours after the real Maximus was sent back, he planned a second rebellion.

Daisy beside Crystal shrugged helplessly. Looking at the burning ruins in the Starport, she explained:

The mentally abnormal and ambitious guy took advantage of Attilan's emptiness, snatched a spaceship and fled. Before leaving, he set fire to the star port. Tritan led people to chase him, but Maximus It seems to be escaping towards the earth.

Yeah?

Fury hesitated for a moment, and he said:

Then you are really unlucky, but compared to this matter, I think we should talk about more important things now.

Fury pointed to a couple wearing long hoods beside him, and he said to Crystal and Daisy:

The Skrull's head is in the spaceship, that's what Black Bolt needs most next.

Moreover, I brought him an assistant who will help Black Bolt and you aliens gain a foothold in the Kree Empire at the fastest speed.

And the most important job is to assassinate the Supreme Intelligence and let the Kree's war empire completely run free.

Fury touched his smooth head, and he said:

In the matter of collapse, how can a knife from outside be better than a dagger stabbed by one's own people?
