Shadow of the Beautiful World

5. Promised Tenderness

I'll check one last time...

Arthur Curry, who was carrying Neptune's trident, looked at his uncle Merlin, and then secretly glanced at the charming black-haired girl next to his uncle.

He took another look at the blond middle-aged man in steampunk-style flying wing equipment who was standing aside, muttering about preparing for a magic ceremony.

He asked cautiously for the seventh time:

Uncle, are you sure that performing rituals related to the Lightless Sea in this place will not trigger Chaos invasion again?

Won't.

Merlin held Miss Magician's wrist, and in the faint scent of flowers, he said to his nephew:

Your Excellency Leonardo Da Vinci has made precise calculations. He just opened a door leading to the Matte Sea, and it will not destroy the stability of the dimension. I have also told Dum about this. If he didn't come to stop it, it means that he Have faith in me too.

Having said that, Merlin paused, and put his hand on the Raven Book on his waist, he said to Arthur:

Even if there is a problem, I can solve it.

It's... alright.

Arthur scratched his head, and he glanced at the ruined city of Atlantis behind him.

This ancient city of the first era was almost destroyed when the consciousness of the giant beast came, and almost all the buildings on the surface were distorted in the darkness.

The fragments of the collapsed buildings were crookedly suspended in mid-air in a way that ignored gravity, and those fragments surrounded the distorted main body, which looked quite strange.

But the broken appearance does not mean that the inside is also distorted.

In fact, the space here has been broken into a disfigured state, and the environment here cannot be viewed with the rules of space from the outside world.

The interior of those buildings is still normal.

After the ancient city fell back to the depths of the sea, it was occupied by the Trench tribe, who were assigned by Arthur to dig down while defending the city.

According to the information left by Neptune Atlanta, in the depths of the city, there is a device capable of reversing the erosion of chaos, which can restore the distorted appearance and spirit of the Trench Race to a normal form.

But according to the current technological level of the submarine kingdom, it is estimated that it will take a long time to repair those instruments.

But Arthur has his own way.

He has invited a group of the smartest scientists on the surface to come to the city, and enthusiastic Dr. Reed and Tony, as well as members of the Future Science Foundation, have responded.

With their help, this redemption operation against the sins of the Great Fall should be carried out smoothly soon.

Go and do your work.

Merlin said to Arthur beside him:

Our side will finish soon, and your restoration and excavation of the city will not be delayed.

It's okay, I'll just take a look.

Arthur shrugged. He looked curiously at Da Vinci who was preparing for the ceremony. He said:

I haven't seen the ceremony leading to the Lightless Sea yet. Who would dare to go to that ghostly place with a physical body? The person you are looking for must be a lunatic.

Little friend, the lunatic you are talking about is my father.

Miss Zatanna answered Arthur's question with a blank face, she stared at Arthur indifferently, she said with emphasis:

Based on the relationship between me and your uncle, that lunatic is also your uncle's father-in-law, in other words, he is also your elder!

Uh, fine.

Arthur scratched his chin in embarrassment. Under Miss Zatanna's unfriendly gaze, he said goodbye to Merlin, and then fled.

Watching Arthur run away, Miss Magician breathed a sigh of relief. Today, she was wearing her signature little black dress, shorts, fishnet stockings, high heels, and a magician top hat.

He looked calm.

But actually clenched Merlin's hand from the very beginning, which represented Zatanna's inner unease.

In order to completely eliminate the curse of the Zatara family's blood and the Absolute Sea, her father disappeared in the ceremony to the Absolute Sea more than 20 years ago. During these years, Zatana has been looking for her father.

She was worried that her father might have...

or even worse.

Normal people will be quickly distorted by chaos in the world of evil spirits. As Arthur said, even a great wizard of mysticism can hardly survive in that place for decades.

don’t worry.

Merlin reached out and touched Zatana's smooth long hair, and he said to Miss Magician:

Even if John is really infected, as long as he is still alive, we can save him. Atlantis has equipment to remove the chaos infection. As long as John's consciousness has not died out, there is still room for salvation. .”

Um.

Miss Magician took a deep breath, she glanced at the ancestor Da Vinci, she put her arms around Merlin's waist, and said:

I know you're very busy now, and I really appreciate you taking the time to help me find my father... Am I being too willful? You're still busy saving the world.

John is also a member of this world.

Merlin patted the little wife on the head, and said:

Saving him can also be regarded as saving the world. A great wizard who can enter the dark sea alone can also be of great help in the next thing.

Of course, there was another reason, which Merlin didn't say clearly.

Once he fails in the bet with Gao Tianzun and his group, once the world is hopeless, then at least, Zatanna can perish with her father's company, which is considered...

The last tenderness.

Okay! Stop flirting, you and my lovely great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter will have a lot of time to make out in the future! Come here now and get to work!

Da Vinci, who had been busy for more than ten minutes, finally finished the work of opening the gate of dimension.

He glanced back at Zatana and Merlin, the 16th-century naturalist patted his stomach and said to the two:

I'm here to maintain the dimension gate, and you only have 15 minutes.

enough.

Merlin opened the book of ravens, and under the call of the dark spell, the power of darkness originating from the universe rolled up from the pages and wrapped around him and Zatanna, as if they were in a state of symbiosis.

He moved his body, grabbed Zatana's wrist, and said to Da Vinci:

According to the blood relationship between Zatanna and John, I am sure that I can send her to the place closest to John. As long as he is still alive, as long as there are no more than 5 big evil spirits around him, I have full control over her. He brought it back.

Ha, Almighty Heavenly Father is tough when he speaks.

Da Vinci laughed and made a joke.

But what he said was the truth.

After being promoted to the Almighty Heavenly Father, Merlin's destructive power and pure magic power have been promoted to an unimaginable and indescribable level.

Chaos is indeed terrifying.

But once there is a crushing gap in power, even a big evil spirit of flesh and blood is not invincible, not to mention, Merlin still has a dark spell from the shadow of the universe in his hand.

This thing is directly derived from the giant beast, and its level of corrosion is much more terrifying than that of the great evil spirit.

There is a saying that the so-called Matte Sea is just a resting place for giant beasts in the material world.

And those terrifying big evil spirits are just malice born from the dreamland of giant ferocious beasts.

The giant beast has never directly responded to this statement, but Merlin, who has faced the giant beast directly, believes that this statement is reasonable.

hum

The purple glare gathered amid Da Vinci's rapid chanting, it was the power of shadow and chaos that was summoned in the city of Atlantis.

The combination of the two quickly corroded the wall of dimensions, and in the blink of an eye, a rotating circular light curtain was opened.

Walk!

Merlin grabbed Zatana and jumped into it. At the moment of entering it, the quantum spell was activated, and the almighty father of magic took Zatana to perform several phase walks in the quantum state.

After 10 seconds, they landed on the edge of a dark, blood-red lake, and in the center of that lake, there was a fleshy entity resting in the foul-smelling water.

Like an octopus, it has the ugly appearance shared by all living creatures.

The tentacles of flesh and blood are covered with strange eyeballs that are constantly moving, and there is a spiral mouth full of sharp teeth. There are black and red fangs and sharp teeth everywhere on the body. There is no geometric shape to describe it.

Simply looking at it is real spiritual pollution.

Its entire bulk concealed itself in the foul-smelling pool like a blood-sarcoma riddled with abscesses.

Father!

Zatanna screamed, and Merlin followed Miss Magician's gaze. Among the hundreds of tentacles waving by the monster, there was a slender tentacles wrapped around a man's body that was melting into flesh and blood.

He should have been tortured for a long time, and most of his body was integrated into the flesh and blood of this monster.

But he seemed to be alive, his contorted face full of pain.

Save him!

Zatanna grabbed Merlin's wrist, and her worst fears happened.

His father is still alive, but life is worse than death.

Don't worry.

Merlin looked at the great evil spirit who was awakened in front of him, and he said to Zatanna:

Your father is here to end the family curse, isn't he?

That is to say, the evil spirit in front of you is the source of all the chaotic power in your family's blood, and it is also constantly devouring the souls of all members of the Zatara family...

what are you up to?

Zatana's eyes widened. She looked at Merlin who pulled Judas out of the flames, and she had a bad premonition.

I want to save you, silly wife.

Merlin turned his head and kissed Zatanna's cheek lightly. He looked back at the roaring evil spirit and said:

How could I allow your soul to be swallowed by such an ugly guy...

But my father...

Miss Magician also wanted to prevent Merlin from killing the evil spirit, but she looked back at her father's body that was swallowed, corroded, and merged into the cursed flesh and blood. Her eyes were full of pain.

It can't be saved anymore.

No, there is still help!

Looking at the silent Zatana, Merlin guessed what this silly girl was thinking, and he said softly:

I came prepared.

After finishing speaking, under Zatanna's gaze, Merlin tapped on the cover of Raven Book, and said:

Do me a favor, man.

Don't you even have the ability to fight yourself?

A gloomy voice came from the Book of Ravens, and the god of the abyss Gnar responded disdainfully:

And why should I help you? Is it because you tortured me well?

I have a good relationship with your boss.

Merlin waved his wrist, and between the waving of the light blade shaped by magic power, the flesh and blood entity of the roaring evil spirit was easily cut open, and Lord Raven, who walked leisurely into the air, said to Gnar:

So, if you still want to return to the darkness of the universe, you'd better not mess with me...

whispering sound

Nall snorted disdainfully.

However, Gnar, who was sealed in the book of ravens, was also a little apprehensive when he thought of the deal that Merlin had made with the giant beast that no one knew about.

It does not dare to defy the giant ferocious beast.

That is the source and basis of its existence. Once the giant beast denies it, no matter where Gnar hides, he will be wiped out instantly.

You want the soul of that stupid man?

Gnar said:

What a simple matter... Hack this ugly monster first, and I will do the rest, but only this time, bastard! Also, you'd better say something nice to me at the dark monster...

No problem, friend.

Merlin narrowed his eyes, he chuckled and said:

You helped me, I'm sure I'll help you, come on, brother, get ready...I'll hack it to death, you'll take out the soul.

whoosh

Merlin's wrist moved, and the buzzing sharp blade formed a dazzling lightsaber in an instant, heading straight into the dark purple sky.

Just like Arturia's holy sword was unsheathed, and the moment it slashed under the light blade, the entire stinky lake was evaporated dry.

The great evil spirit waved hundreds of flesh and blood limbs in horror, but in the face of the all-powerful blow of the almighty father of magic, its flesh and blood could not stop it at all in this light blade slash transformed into extremely positive energy .

The light blade slashed down, and the evil spirit was almost cut in two.

But it's not over yet!

fire!

Merlin said a syllable.

The golden light blade scattered in the air quickly changed its nature. At the moment when the magic power was ignited, it was like a rain of golden fire flying all over the sky, falling on the evaporated lake.

In the state of the Almighty Father, the power of vanity finally reveals its destructive side.

On the material level, the magic power is constantly burning.

On the spiritual level, the chaotic emotions of the great evil spirit are aroused by the invisible hand, like a spiritual storm, and the invisible heavy fist hits the distorted consciousness of the great evil spirit, like a frantic tearing of mountains and rocks.

Aww

It desperately turned the chaotic energy into extremely corrosive beams of various colors, shooting out from the remaining tentacles.

These light beams are very dangerous, as long as they come into contact with them, they will be activated into flesh and blood, turning them into life forms soaked in chaos like it.

But when Merlin opened his five fingers, he didn't need magic, but relying on the gathering of magic power, in the shining of the strange runes, its thick barrier like a city wall was unfolded.

The rune magic of the Asgardians has no secrets in Merlin's eyes.

Roar!

Raven snapped his fingers.

The ancient body activates.

The star-lighted tiger roared and jumped out of the invisible. In the flurry of hogs-like claws, each claw of the ancient body superimposed with quantum spells tore apart the cursed flesh and blood from the quantum level.

The Starlight Tiger is a creation of magic and space. It has no entity and will not be infected by chaos.

Merlin put away his long sword. Like a beast tamer, he watched the fierce tiger below attack the big evil spirit. Then he snapped his fingers again, and the second starlight tiger also jumped out of the space.

Space has no secrets for him.

Aw!

The flesh and blood of the great evil spirit was completely torn apart in just a few minutes, and its twisted and tyrannical consciousness still wanted to escape.

But the raven opened the magic tome, and a black symbiote jumped out from the pages of the dark spell book, and quickly rushed to the cut ground below.

After a few seconds, it returned to Merlin wrapped in another object.

The soul of Zatana's father, Merlin's father-in-law, the best stage magician in the world, and the great mystic wizard Gwani John Zatara was torn out intact.

Chaos infected him and must be purified, otherwise he will dissipate soon.

Gnar also reminded him intimately.

Merlin shrugged noncommittally, and said:

Help people to the end, Gnar, can you purify this level of chaos infection?

You bastard!

The God of the Abyss was holding back his anger, but he couldn't let it out. Under Merlin's gaze, he could only swallow his breath.

it's over.

Seeing that Gnar was subdued, Merlin smiled and pinched the witcher's Igni seal.

This seal, which cannot be regarded as magic, formed the power of the forbidden flame in the hands of the raven.

The flames gushing out from the ground merged with the power of vanity, and in just an instant, the dry lake and the cursed flesh sprinkled on it were burned up.

It's not over yet, Raven stretched out his hand, and in the form of magic power, covering the sky and covering the sun, a big hand shining with an orange halo descended from the sky, and easily held the fleeing evil spirit in his hand.

While the light feather was shattering, Merlin slapped that ugly evil spirit on the Raven Book.

The strange purple light was beating, and Gnar and Dormammu, who were sealed in the pages of the book, were like wild dogs fighting for food, frantically biting the spirit body of the evil spirit to replenish their own strength.

time to go.

Merlin dodged and jumped into Zatanna's side, leading Miss Magician to disappear in place in a quantum state. Almost at the moment they disappeared, more evil spirits poured into this place.

But there is nothing else here except for the ashes flying in the sky.

Vertical and horizontal dimensions, almost invincible.

This is the power of the Almighty Father.

And this rescued soul is theoretically another old father-in-law of Merlin, and he can also help in the subsequent wars.

Yes, Merlin's purpose of coming here is not pure, not just for his wife's wish.

But he finally fulfilled his promise to his lover, which can be regarded as a kind of...promised tenderness.
