Shadow of the Beautiful World

After giving a good lesson to the inconsistent Ms. Lingdie and giving a little punishment, Lord Raven came to Carol's sleeping room again.

The relationship between him and Psylocke is quite complicated.

Although under the urging of the power of the phoenix, Lingdie exposed the deepest thoughts in his heart, but it is not so easy for this mercenary who has been alone for a long time to accept the reality that he has fallen.

Ladies who are too emotional are always so entangled, and they are independent and long to remain independent.

But how can such things as feelings have the concept of independence?

It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to be in love with each other. It sounds chic and magnanimous, but it is just a beautiful vision after all.

In most love affairs, one party is always attached to the other.

Of course, this refers to the emotional aspect. Personality must always be kept independent, and one must become a man's vassal with all one's heart and soul, and become a slave and plaything of love.

That is indeed a bit too sad for women.

Just like Lord Raven and Ms. Carroll, their relationship and life are very separate.

The relationship between the two is deep, but it does not prevent Raven and Carol from doing their own things and living their own lives.

The two also get together less and leave more, but their relationship has not faded because of such an independent life.

On the contrary, as time goes by, they become more and more connected.

Merlin sat by the bed, holding Carol's shining fingers. The mistress in front of her was like a radiant Sleeping Beauty, and the cosmic energy covered her skin like a dancing wildfire.

But it didn't spoil the bed and bedding.

Those reverberating forces can be called gentle, like a cocoon wrapped around Carol. Under the light curtain, Ms. Marvel is undergoing some microscopic changes.

The newly born cosmic energy is acting abnormally, and those forces are changing Carol's life form.

Behind Merlin, Elsa in a long white dress rubbed her lover's shoulders and said softly:

After I brought her back, Xuan Lan checked her. Carol's injury from being impacted by the Phoenix Force has healed, but facing the powerful force directly shocked her mind. It may take a while for her to recover. adapt.

That's what she wants.

Merlin sighed.

He reached out and covered Elsa's hand on her shoulder, feeling the coldness from the fingertips, and said:

Carol has a stubborn desire to protect everyone, and she also wants to protect me. She stubbornly believes that protection requires strength, and her current strength cannot preserve everything she cherishes.

She challenged a strong enemy to get herself over the wall, and she did it...but that's not what I wanted to see.

Lord Raven sighed. He raised his head and looked at Elsa who lowered his head above. He looked at those beautiful green cat eyes. He said:

You all have such personalities.

Yeah, the one with the most character, a few hours ago, was clamoring to kill me.

Elsa pursed her lips and smiled, she said solemnly:

I heard that the folding of the Phoenix Force will allow a person to reveal the most original desire in his heart and show the most authentic mind.

Our Lord Raven is very charming. A woman like Lingdie is willing to be enchanted by you...Look, she even cut me.

Miss Bloodstone stretched out her hand, pulled up her clothes, and placed a healed wound on her arm in front of Merlin's eyes. She pouted and said:

It hurts.

Then I'll apologize to you instead of her.

Raven stretched out his hand to hold Miss Bloodstone's jade-like arm, and kissed the wound lightly. When he raised his head, the small wound had already healed.

This action made Miss Bloodstone laugh like a kitten. She shook off Merlin's hand and took a few steps back.

She brushed her long orange hair, sniffed, and said to Merlin:

You still have the scent of spirit butterfly perfume on you, you philandering man, don't even try to climb into my bed tonight... Speaking of which, is it really okay for you to waste your time with us? There are many more out there Things need you to come forward.

Merlin shrugged, he looked back at the sleeping Carol, and said:

They can solve those things by themselves. They have proved that even without me, they can still protect the world. I am already a poor old raven, no one needs me anymore.

So, I'll stay here and spend time with my lovely wives.

————————

Are you sure you want to do this?

A few days later, on the edge of New York City, in Trident Square, Steve Rogers, wearing a denim jacket and leaning on a cane, was holding his wife's hand.

He pulled down his baseball cap and said to the guy in the suit in front of him:

It has recognized you, you can continue to wave it, and no one will come to trouble you.

Having said that...

Wearing a suit and dressed like a successful businessman, Bruce Wayne looked at Thor's Hammer in his hand, and his eyes were full of thoughts.

This silver-gray warhammer was tightly held in his hand, as if there was a sense of blood connection.

As long as he closes his eyes, he can feel the scrutiny of this war hammer, that kind of power plus the pressure behind him.

Becoming the new Thor means fulfilling Mjolnir's oath.

I... I may be more suitable to continue to be my mortal hero than the restrained Thor.

Batman said something softly.

He raised his hand and placed Thor's Hammer on the stone platform in front of him, just like when he picked up Thor's Hammer before.

After the hammer was placed back on its base, a pulsating thunder flashed once on the surface of the hammer.

Immediately afterwards, this legendary weapon, which can be swung to obtain the power of Thor, changed back to its previous dusty appearance.

It is angry.

After Thor, another user dropped it.

This made Mjolnir very angry, but it was helpless. After all, it was just a weapon, and without a user, it was difficult for it to respond to everything that happened outside.

tear up

The jumping sparks hit Bruce's finger, making Batman withdraw his hand in embarrassment.

He took a deep breath, took one last look at Thor's Hammer, and then came back to his senses, looking at Steve and his wife Sharon, he reached out to adjust the bow tie on his collar, and he said:

I am in awe of powerful power, but I want to be the master of power instead of being controlled by power.

It does feel good to have it, but if the price of holding it is that I have to change my code of conduct, then I'd rather not have it.

I can change myself for it, and if there is a more useful and powerful weapon than it in the future, should I change it again?

Bruce let out a long breath.

He glanced at the suitcase at Steve's feet and said:

We are walkers walking on the edge of the abyss. As long as we are a little cowardly, we will be captured by darkness. That line cannot be crossed.

Stop lecturing me, Bruce.

The captain wearing a baseball cap chuckled, pointed to the box under his feet, and said quite openly:

I know you are warning me, don't worry, I won't touch this thing again in the future.

He looked at his wife beside him, and said softly:

This injury is not a bad thing for me. What you said before is quite right. I am no longer a pure fighter. Maybe, I should live another life, with my lover, with my daughter together.

That's good.

Bruce waved to Steve and walked over to his parked gray Lamborghini, who was in New York as chairman of the Wayne Group for the Onika Consortium meeting.

It is said that an important special resolution was passed by the World Security Council not long ago, and Bruce had to discuss it with the current chairman, Lex Luthor.

Coming to return Thor's Hammer was just a matter of passing.

The good man Bruce waved to his friend. Amid the sound of the sports car running, the Lamborghini pulled out a beautiful arc on the square and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

Sharon also bent down and lifted the box under Steve's feet, where the Dreadhammer was placed.

She brushed her hair fluttering in the wind, and said to her husband standing there:

Let's go, Steve, we have to pick up little Sharon in a while, and we agreed to cook for you today.

Then you have to stop by to buy groceries.

Leaning on a cane and holding his wife's hand, Steve walked out of the square.

He staggers a bit when he walks, and it takes years for his body to heal from previous injuries from the War Hulk.

And this time the injury was too serious, Steve might never be able to wield his shield to fight like before.

But after this battle, the captain also saw many things clearly.

Whenever there is a disaster, someone always thinks, I should stand up.

And the luckiest thing is that in this world, even without him, there are still more heroes who will shoulder this responsibility.

It's time for him to retire.

After all, he is already an old man in his 90s, and he had a child not long ago, so it is time to let go of everything and take care of his old age.

The news of Thor's Hammer's return to Trident Square quickly spread throughout New York, so in the afternoon, many more people came to this square because of the name.

The big businessman understands Wang's ticket business has also resumed.

In the evening, people who touch Thor's Hammer and want to pull it up are still queuing up, even more than before. After all, Thor's Hammer disappeared mysteriously for a few days, which means that someone has completed the great cause of pulling it up.

Others can pull it up, maybe you can too?

Isn't it just a $10 ticket.

Stop talking nonsense and take my money quickly! Don't stop me from becoming Thor and saving the world!

Of course, the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

From noon to evening, hundreds of people went to touch Thor's Hammer, but as usual, no one could pull it out, which somewhat disappointed the spectators.

$10, here you are.

As night fell, a blond man in casual clothes and a black baseball cap handed the ticket money to the staff who had already started to doze off, and then walked onto the stone platform.

He didn't touch the hammer right away.

Instead, he looked at the silver-gray, square-headed weapon with a nostalgic look.

Thor, dressed in disguise, stretched out his finger and stroked the surface of the warhammer. Where the finger passed, there was a weak current beating, as if an old friend was reunited.

Thor said in a strange tone:

I saw the projection of you fighting with Bruce and the others, and I also saw the scene of you flying around them.

Mjolnir, if I remember correctly, in the past 1,500 years, you have never danced so wantonly for me, as if you have a soul in their hands.

This really makes me jealous...

The former Thor was like patting a pet, slapping the icy hammer surface of Thor's Hammer, he complained:

But you were abandoned again. To be honest, you have to change your bad temper. Don't always ask the holder to do things your way. If you don't change, you will be abandoned for the fourth time. .”

whoosh

A jumping arc hit Thor's finger, representing Thor's hammer's dissatisfaction with Thor's scolding.

Like a tantrum-ridden kid.

Haha, just play by yourself, be a tool man, er, no, a tool hammer... In the future, when there is a disaster, there will always be heroes who will come to borrow your strength.

Thor rubbed his numb fingers, and he gloated and said to Mjolnir:

The most wonderful thing is, because of the oath, you can't refuse someone who is really qualified to hold you, haha, seeing you so unlucky, I really...

I'm so happy!

It took a long time for Thor and his old friends to reminisce, which directly caused dissatisfaction among the people queuing below. A group of rednecks shouted loudly:

Hey, hurry up, please!

Dude, get out of the way if you can't pull it out, there are real hunks waiting!

Okay, okay, am I coming down now?

Amidst a burst of booing, Torsch calmly walked down the stone platform, left the square with his hands waved, and bought a hot dog for dinner along the way.

In the darkness of New York, he hails a cab, only to find out that the driver is an acquaintance.

Dupender, take me back to Manhattan.

Thor leaned on the seat, eating a hot dog, and said something vaguely.

Du Pengde, who was driving, curled his lips, and said dissatisfiedly:

Don't spill the vegetable juice on my car. This car has just been washed. If you get dirty, be careful of the noise and beat you. I can't stop it. It failed to court Princess Laura recently. Very irritable.

And just after Thor left, another shocking thing happened in the Trident Square.

kuang

During the thunderous dance, the silver-gray war hammer was picked up by a short, green-clothed girl with a ball on her head and a cloak pretending to hide her face.

This scene made everyone exclaim.

Others picked up their phones to take pictures.

And little Hela didn't care about the surprise of the idiots, she swung her warhammer like a fluffy toy, this little girl with dark circles fiercely screamed at the stunned ticket seller:

I lifted it up and you all saw it! So give me that $1 million prize!

The new game console is about to be released, give me the money!

Stingy bastard, no matter how late you are, you won't be able to catch up with the launch ceremony!
