Shadow of the Beautiful World

New York City, Hell's Kitchen, the old site of Merlin's house.

The mysterious house with a medieval style is located here in the form of a mansion.

The surrounding residents have also gotten used to this mysterious house. With the assistance of the local boss Tucker, there are not many good people who will disturb the peace of Merlin's family.

There are usually not many people living here, the children come back occasionally, and Aunt May and Uncle Ben also come to visit on weekends and so on.

In the huge mysterious house, Xuanlan is the only permanent resident under normal conditions.

But now, this room with an interior area comparable to a small town is already full of people.

Mostly women and children.

Miss Potts and herself had a good time with Tony's daughter Hope, Ant-Man's ex-wife and only daughter, also called Hope, Big Hope holding baby Hope.

Beside the two girls, Lian En was holding her son Jonathan.

There are many other people, basically ordinary people.

Now it's almost a nursery.

The family members of the heroes who are not capable of fighting have been sent over one after another in the past 17 hours. This time, the big crisis has been warned in advance, so everyone is well prepared.

Aunt Xuanlan, when will Mom be back?

Hermione's youngest daughter, Rose, was holding a white kitten. She grabbed Xuan Lan's hand standing by the window, and she asked in a childish voice:

Mom said she was going to fight bad people. As before, I was a little worried about her.

Don't worry, cutie, your mother is amazing.

Xuan Lan smiled and stretched out her hand, scratching the bridge of Rose's nose.

The housekeeper glanced back at the worried-looking family members behind her. Aunt Mei and Uncle Ben were busy helping them, and ghost servants kept delivering food and water.

Although the voice of the child made the mystery house sound a bit noisy, the order was good.

Fu...

Xuan Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

As the spirit body of the mysterious house, she cannot leave the building too far.

So even if she has the ability to fight, she will serve as a protector for a week from today, so that the fighting heroes will have no worries.

boom

A loud noise came from outside the mysterious house, and Xuanlan turned her head to look at the sky in shock. The golden magic barrier hung over the city like a net, ordinary people couldn't see it, but Xuanlan could see it clearly.

Not only did she see the net, she also saw the golden flames constantly shining above the magic barrier.

here we go.

The housekeeper pursed her lips, and she hugged little Rose with one arm. Under the curious gaze of the little girl, Xuan Lan touched the window sill of the mysterious room with her gloved fingers.

In the slight vibration, this mysterious house located on the street is like a water-soaked ink painting, fading away from the real world bit by bit.

It is sinking into the dimensional rift.

After the celestial sphere distorted the dimensional barrier, it became no longer difficult to lead nearly 300 people into the dimensional rift at one time.

My brother said that we will be safe here and will not be hurt...

Aunt Mei's worried voice sounded behind Xuanlan. The 50-year-old housewife, who still maintained her figure and skin, walked to Xuanlan's side.

She lowered her voice and asked:

But based on what I know about my brother, it's not just for our safety that he gathers all the family members related to him here with such a big fanfare.

Lan, tell me honestly, does Merlin have any other plans?

have.

Xuanlan reached out and touched the bangs on little Rose's forehead, which made the little girl giggle. She whispered to Aunt Mei without raising her head:

But I can't tell you, May, don't think about it.

How can I not think about it?

Aunt Mei was a little angry at this moment, she said:

Even Eric and Charlie gave me the baby, everyone in the Riley family... even little Peter, they're all out there, and I'm left with them.

How can you let me not think about it, Lan.

Aunt Mei's fingers trembled a little, she said:

Merlin isn't sure, is he?

He...he wants the heroes to give it a go without any worries, including himself. He protects us old and weak women and children because he is afraid that they will hurt us after they lose, right?

Xuan Lan didn't answer.

Her silence seemed to herald the realization of this dire conjecture.

But after a few seconds, the housekeeper raised her head and pushed her monocle.

She glanced out the window.

When the mysterious house enters the dimensional gap, it is like a heavy object sinking into the bottom of the water, and the friction between the invisible dimensions will make the refraction of light chaotic, just like looking at the world on the water from underwater.

Everything is still in place, but it has been twisted in a very weird way.

They are about to leave the real world.

He won't lose.

Xuanlan's eyes were firm, and her tone was soft as she said:

He promised me, and he promised you, that he will make all good things come true...we should trust him as he trusted those heroes.

Eric, Charlie, Peter, Raven, Lorna, Laura, Matt, Daisy, Ava, and Coulson, everyone in the Riley family has not given up. They have their own battlefield.

Xuan Lan reached out and patted Aunt Mei on the shoulder, she said:

As the successor of Merlin as the head of the family, Mei, you shouldn't give up. Fight with them, protect the things they worry about, and let them have no scruples...

It's time for little Sharon to nurse, I have to take care of some children, how about...

I'll go.

Aunt Mei reached out and brushed her temple hair.

There was still worry in her eyes, but under Xuanlan's persuasion, she took a deep breath and decided to face this matter with a more positive attitude.

Her brother, her family, need her.

No time for self-pity.

Aunt Mei came back to her senses, and she looked at the mysterious room in front of her that had become a little messy due to her escape into the dimension.

She shrugged her shoulders, and like a soldier stepping into the battlefield, she strode towards the little Sharon who was waiting to be fed, the captain's daughter.

She also has her own battlefield, and she is going to fight too.

The heroes have not given up, they are still fighting, and her family members are also one of those brave ones, they are still guarding hope, how can she give up?

Speaking of which, isn't your father here?

Xuan Lan watched Aunt Mei leave. She looked down at Little Rose who was having fun with the kitten in her arms. She asked curiously:

Isn't Ron no longer a battle wizard? He is also a support staff. Where is he now?

Dad is going to help Mom.

Little Rose tilted her head and said to her beautiful Aunt Lan:

Grandpa and grandma called Dad to the Burrow last night, and this morning, Dad asked Shiny to send me over, and he told me that he couldn't watch Mom go to the battlefield alone.

Hey, although my father is often scolded and bullied by my mother, I know that my father loves my mother very much, just like I love my mother.

Yeah?

Xuan Lan blinked her eyes thoughtfully, then asked again:

So, how many heroic sisters did your mother bring to the battlefield this time?

A lot~

Little Rose opened her hands, widened her eyes, and made a big gesture. She said excitedly:

Besides Sister Artoria and Sister Joan, there are many, many young ladies, I have never seen them, but they are all so beautiful... There are 10, no, 20! At least 20!

Ah, Legion of Heroic Spirits, is this going to be dispatched?

Xuan Lan chuckled lightly. As Mei Lin's housekeeper, she knew a lot about Mei Lin's private arrangements.

Since the battle for the Supreme Mage, Hermione has been summoning heroic spirits, and she also knows about it, and she also took a lot of materials and magic crystals from the mysterious room for Hermione to use.

Judging from Merlin's arrangements, Hermione and her Heroic Spirit Legion, as well as the omnic legion prepared by God Doom in Latvinia, are the Dinghai Shenzhen in Western Europe.

As long as the heroic spirits can still fight, and as long as the omnic center in Latvinia is not shut down, there will be no problems in the British Isles and mainland Europe.

The Mechanicus has 10 legions deployed in South America, and North America has the Heroes Association, the Magic Congress and the Monster Dynasty, as well as the joint forces of the Eye Society.

Wakanda is in Africa.

As for Asia...

Asia is nothing to worry about.

Looking at the vicissitudes of the past ten years, no matter how bad things happen in other parts of the world, Asia is as stable as Mount Tai, not to mention Kama Taj.

In the ancient eastern country, there is also a mysterious martial art holy place like Kunlun. It is said that in the ancient country, there is a system similar to the Ministry of Magic, as well as an official superpower organization.

Merlin once said that as long as the world is not destroyed, there will be no danger in Asia.

As for New Asgard, which is the eighth largest continent in the world, there is no need to worry.

And finally Oceania and Antarctica...

Well, those two shitty places have been abandoned by the strategy, no one will go there, aliens and aliens will think that there is nothing worth paying attention to in that ghost place.

At least not on the surface.

Well, remoteness is also an advantage.

——————————

Time and space teleportation preparation!

At the same time when the 2012 node encountered the phenomenon of celestial sphere convergence, at the time point of 1211 in Northern Europe, in the mountains of the desolate Nordic Gulf.

Fury and his S.H.I.E.L. combat force were preparing to return home.

Most of the members of the elite combat force modeled on the S.H.I.E.L.D. system are in this time base.

They started the transfer a few days ago, because it is uncertain what kind of disaster will befall in 2012, so it is necessary to put a legion capable of turning the tide in the safest place in advance.

This is the way of fighting that Fury and Merlin both agree with.

And what place could be safer than another node in the timeline?

The battleship lifts off!

Wearing a black windbreaker, wearing a blindfold, and with his hands behind his back, Fury stood in the command room on the ridge. He was fully armed, holding a high-tech shotgun, and carrying two swords. Coulson gave the order .

A few seconds later, amidst the sound of the ground shaking and the mountains shaking, the entire ridge opened to both sides. On the tarmac inside the ridge, 10 improved Aegis ships were slowly rising into the air.

Fifteen combat troops, with a total of 80,000 people, have made the final preparations for the timeline transfer. Inside the base, a super-large time interferometer is working.

In the cloudless sky overhead, a spinning, wobbling window of time is opening.

As long as you look up, you can see the strange scenery of 2012 reflected in the sky. Several tribes around this mountain range have seen this mirage-like scene.

Superstitious medieval people, led by the elders, bowed down together, or nervously prepared sacrifices to the gods, in order to appease the gods.

Uh, one more word.

The vast majority of records of gods coming into the world that are conclusive in history, in fact, most of them are related to the group of guys from the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield running around in the timeline.

In the incidents that this organization is responsible for, there is even the task of sending time stowaways.

What is a time stowaway?

It's very simple, those guys who accidentally crossed the event.

For this reason, Princess Ciri, an important member of the Sacred Shield Brotherhood, suggested several times to change the organization's name to Time Administration, but it was rejected every time.

Fury thinks the name is good, although it's a bit vulgar, and it's just a bit of a bad street.

The time point docking is complete, and the window has been opened!

On the podium in front of Fury, the projection of Commander Hill, who stayed behind in 2012, appeared in front of Fury. She was wearing a black uniform with her head crossed, and she was much more feminine than the former shrewd agent.

She said to Fury:

You can come here, the confluence of the celestial sphere has occurred, Kama Taj has just sent a message, the dimensional tide is calming down, and large-scale alien invasions have occurred all over the world.

Although it is still under pressure, having a backup force will always make the officials more at ease.

We'll be there soon.

Fury responded.

A few minutes later, he and Coulson arrived on the deck of Aegis One.

Fury's special operations force is just a vanguard. The Brotherhood of the Holy Shield received the message from Merlin 17 hours ago, and now all nodes are preparing for battle.

If necessary, the 128 nodes currently stationed by the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield on the timeline can all support the war at the 2012 node.

That is an extremely terrifying group combat force.

It is also one of Merlin's back-and-forth plans.

Get ready, guys, fasten your seat belts.

The commander of the battleship on the No. 1 ship is the old member of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau, Silver Bullet Agent Dame Duggan. Like Fury, he was recalled after retiring.

Because of the influence of the intersection of the celestial spheres, it may be a little bumpy for a while.

Agent Silver Bullet also wore a blindfold, and said to Fury, who was sitting in the command chair behind him:

Especially those of us old bones, if we are unlucky, we may not be able to land...

The old man made a bad joke that drew Fury's glare.

In the next second, under the leadership of No. 1 ship, the entire fleet entered the time window, and they seemed to have jumped into a tunnel with a distorted light curtain.

In the blink of an eye, the entire world seemed to be stretched infinitely, and even the battleship and the people inside the battleship themselves felt a double pulling force acting on the spirit and body.

They all wore breathing masks in advance, and they are all old time travellers, and most of them have already adapted to this kind of bumps.

But the accident came soon.

Before the end of the trip, a red lightning bolt rushed out of the time tunnel and hit the main body of the fleet traveling along the timeline.

In just the blink of an eye, Fury felt his world spinning.

By the time he reacted, the entire fleet had been forced to sail into an unfamiliar sky in the disaster of going off course.

They were forcibly pushed out of the time tunnel!

Mazefakel! What's going on? What's that red lightning bolt? And... where the hell is this place?

Fury groaned, rubbing his aching forehead.

Coulson beside him immediately picked up a strange instrument and looked in front of his eyes. His eyes shrank at this moment, and he said to Fury:

The time scale is in 1609...Director, time travel has been forcibly terminated, and the time node of docking has also been destroyed...

We're stuck at this point in time!
