Shadow of the Beautiful World

Time is passing.

Even if the entire world of ordinary people is still immersed in the pain of loss, they still have to live. People restrain their pain and begin to gradually resume their daily lives.

Half the people on the earth are missing, and the stars are also half missing.

The form of each civilization has undergone earth-shaking changes, and even the production structure has been affected.

More jobs that originally belonged to humans were replaced by omnics, and the big discussions about the development of omnics and unemployment in society seemed to disappear overnight.

The battered human civilization began to embrace the rise of omnics with a more open attitude, and handed over most of the low-level industrial work to omnics for execution.

This is not only a new response due to the emergence of the Cybertron continent, but also an extremely realistic thinking.

After all, the earth lost half of its population overnight, and the impact was too great.

But outside the society of ordinary people, superheroes are constantly being gathered.

At this time, almost one and a half months have passed since the end of the disaster, and New Asgard also held several meetings under the auspices of God King Thor.

According to Merlin's instructions, Thor used the method of combining this disaster to tell the heroes about the upcoming invasion of the Outer Gods, and even told them the truth about the stars.

This is an unreal constellation.

Everything they see is just a dream of all living beings.

Everything they care about, hate, love, and get used to will come to an end in more than four months.

That's the unstoppable Armageddon, unless they can fight off the incoming Outer Gods.

This explosive news almost destroyed the cognition of most heroes.

They thought it was a fantasy, like a nonsense fairy tale.

But the information collected from previous disasters, coupled with the first-hand accounts of heroes who have been to the Hell Hotel, including Dum, Batman, Superman, Captain America, and a group of heroes explained.

These real and numerous evidences make it impossible for even stubborn people to refute.

Some people chose to escape under the collapse, and the rest had to face this cruel reality. They had no other choice.

Creation chiefly destroys the stars, and does not sit and confer with them.

The Creator does not need their prostitution.

Just like there is no grievance between the giant and the ants, but this does not prevent the giant from trampling countless ants to death while walking. They have no other choice but to resist.

Of course there is good news.

As long as they can repel the incoming Outer Gods, not only will this illusory era become real, but even the lives of those who lost their lives in the snap of their fingers.

Their relatives, friends, and innocent people will also be sent back to the real era together.

Under the interaction of the pressure of destruction and the expectation of the future, the heroes who finally chose to stay and fight soon entered a state of common hatred.

The entire New Asgard was transformed into a super-large military factory.

The surviving dwarves in Nidaville forged weapons all day long, and all kinds of armor were also forged in the Doomsday Volcano in the wasteland hell.

All the mechanical life forms on the Cybertron continent are assembling the instruments needed for the final battle at the fastest speed.

In the laboratory in 1970, a steady stream of infinite formulas were produced.

All-round strengthening.

According to Merlin's plan, these heroes will not directly participate in the attack of the foreign gods, but they will be scattered on their own battlefields.

After the melting pot of the universe is ignited, they will serve as the basis for the birth of a new era, and use themselves as beacons to guide the fire of creation into the illusory stars.

In this way, the destructive power of the fire of creation is dispersed, and those destructive forces are transformed into the power to reshape the stars.

This is not an easy job.

The heroes have too much strange knowledge to learn, and the angels of heaven bring the detailed explanation of the stars and all things from the high god, as well as the manipulation and use of the power of creation.

Without a certain level, it is impossible to understand this knowledge at all.

Not to mention mastery.

Most heroes will play the role of tool man in this decisive battle.

And those powerful people who need to go to the battlefield head-on to fight the outer gods are seizing every minute and every second to strengthen themselves.

Of course, not everyone is busy making themselves stronger. There are always some weird guys who will encounter some weird problems at this critical moment.

Like... Ganata.

Tunmei has been very unhappy recently.

She escaped from her father and ran back to Earth to help her friends. She almost missed the decisive battle between Ruiwen and Sangong, but Tunmei was lucky and came back just in time.

She ate Sangong's body and ate a lot of planets on the way back, which made Tunmei's satiety soar from more than 30% to more than 55%.

And when she followed Merlin to make trouble at the Hell Hotel, she also enjoyed the projection left by the elders of the universe among the stars here.

The projection of the two single universes is like a super big meal, which makes Tunmei, who is never full, even feel like she is choking.

Her satiety was finally fixed at 84.7%.

That's a scary number.

If it is converted into planetary energy, Tunmei must eat at least one-third of the universe to achieve this level of satiety.

She was considered to be in the light of Merlin, and she reached a level that her father didn't reach early on.

But after eating, it caused a new problem.

hunger.

That inexplicable sense of hunger was increasing every day, and the fuller Tunmei ate, the more pronounced was that indescribable sense of hunger.

It was a strange state that was hard to describe.

After suffering for a while, Ganata finally couldn't bear it anymore.

She was about to be tormented by that weird feeling and went crazy. After repeated inspections by herself, Tunmei decided to ask someone she trusted to help her check her body to see if something really went wrong with her.

Merlin has been very busy recently, and he can't see anyone all the time, and a cosmic creature of Ganata's level is definitely not accessible to any doctor.

She must find an existence at the same level as her at the soul level, so that she can use the third-party perspective to discover something that she has never discovered.

Fortunately, there happened to be such a person by her side.

Lie down.

On the Continent of Cybertron, below the newly built giant mechanical city, in a laboratory located nearly 500 meters underground, Icarus' spirit body is suspended in the darkness, like a shining lamp .

The glasses girl pointed to the huge silver-gray detector behind her, which was the size of an entire spaceship engine. She said to Tunmei, who was clutching her stomach and looking confused:

This is a detector that has just been made according to your physical condition and inspection requirements.

But you must control your power. A slight explosion will not only destroy this machine, but also the mechanical city above it.

Um.

Tunmei nodded.

The recent period of time has been very bad, so that Tunmei's smooth long hair has become withered and yellow, and the spirit that was originally full of vitality has become listless, like a patient.

Beside her, there are Ms. Carol and Silver Superman Clark who came to assist in this diagnosis. These two guys are responsible for controlling Tunmei when Tunmei might get out of control.

Tell me how you feel recently?

Dr. Reed, wearing a white coat, helped Tunmei lie in the cabin of the instrument, and asked like a doctor:

Just talking about hunger, we can't grasp the cause, is there any special feeling?

Just hungry.

Tunmei was lying in a cabin made in line with human physiology. Like a poor girl, she said weakly to the doctor:

I clearly feel that I am full, but there still seems to be something weird in my body, urging me to eat more.

I'm not in the mood to enjoy eating anymore.

I feel like I'm on the verge of losing control...

Ganata's big purple eyes stared at Dr. Reed. She couldn't help licking her lips as she spoke, as if she saw delicious meat.

This look made Dr. Reed take a step back subconsciously.

The smartest man in the world has a premonition of danger, even though Ganata claims to be in control.

But judging from her unstable mental state, after a while, she might really lose control of that gluttonous desire to eat.

Maybe it comes from the instinct of swallowing stars, like blood.

Clark, who was standing next to the giant instrument, stroked his chin, and he guessed:

Maybe it's some sort of 'biological program', like how animals store as much heat as possible before hibernating.

According to what you say, this little sister may usher in the verge of a life form after she is really full.

Tony Stark checked the status of the detector for the last time. While talking heartlessly, he nodded to Icarus, indicating that the physical examination can begin.

I will control the instrument with my mind.

Icarus hovered above Tunmei's closed cabin, she knocked on the bulkhead, and said to Tunmei who was trying to relax:

Tell me immediately if you feel any discomfort, we will use ultra-high-intensity gamma rays to disperse the energy layer outside your body, so that you can observe the changes in your body, and don't have any thoughts of confrontation...

I can't stand your resistance.

Let's get started.

Tunmei closed her eyes, she hummed and said:

So many powerful guys stay here, like pieces of tempting chicken legs, I feel even hungrier.

These words made everyone present feel a gust of cold wind blowing on their bodies.

According to Ganata's current strength level, once she really goes crazy, all the people present can barely block the hungry and crazy girl.

Tunmei, who looks petite and cute, is one of the most powerful thugs in Merlin's plan to fight against the Outer God.

Everyone back off!

This detector does not have an energy device, and Icarus's spirit will act as an energy source. She shouted, telling the heroes to retreat to a safe distance, and then quickly integrate into the holding machine.

Just like a soul possessed, the moment Icarus entered the instrument, there was a sound like a whirling turbine.

The ring-shaped instrument was activated immediately, and streaks of green light shone on the surface of Tunmei's body, cutting through the energy layer outside Tunmei's body with difficulty.

The energy level of the confrontation between the two sides broke through the Heavenly Father level at the very beginning, setting off waves of energy visible to the naked eye in this underground laboratory.

Just maintain this level! The detector has a picture!

Tony, who was manipulating the projection of the detector, yelled. With the help of Dr. Reed, the two of them kept fine-tuning the frequency of the perspective instrument, projecting the strange internal organs of Ganata's abdomen that exude a halo of stars.

Ganata just looks human.

In fact, she has no fixed form.

She inherited the characteristics of her father swallowing stars, and has some characteristics of cosmic creatures. Everyone sees her as an earth person, just because everyone is an earth person.

If a Cree is here, then the Ganata he sees must look like a Cree.

In short, Tunmei's body structure is completely different from that of human beings, and it doesn't even touch it at all.

In the projection, Tunmei's stomach pouch is even swallowing light, just like a real black hole, and the detector doesn't even dare to pay too much attention to Tunmei's stomach, lest it stimulate Tunmei's consciousness.

Tony's forehead was sweating, and he carefully tested Tunmei's other organs.

Dr. Reed was taking notes on the side, and the knowledge of the two of them was almost completely useless in the face of a strange life like Tunmei.

After a few minutes, Tony, who was staring at flowers, suddenly let out an exclamation.

Reed, come and see! This! Does it look like a parasite?

Tony's exclamation caused Dr. Reed, who was rubbing his eyes, to raise his head immediately, and the two guys huddled together, continuously zooming in on the projection screen in front of them.

After a while, on the projection, they saw a blue worm-like thing in Tunmei's internal organs that resembled digestive organs.

It seems to have its own consciousness, turning back and forth in Tunmei's digestive organs.

Although it looked very small, as the power of the detector continued to increase, the whole picture of the bug appeared in front of everyone present.

It looks like a prehistoric centipede shrunk down a hundred times, with countless tentacles, its body dotted with blue cosmic light, and a pair of constantly opening and closing mouthparts and big claws at the front of its head.

It looks hideous, but it also has an indescribable sense of mystery.

My God! It looks at least 40 meters long!

Tony squinted his eyes and looked back at Tunmei. In human form, Tunmei was petite and cute, full of vitality, but her internal organs were very special.

This worm is very slender and exists in layers in Tunmei's digestive organs.

In the calculation of the quantum computer, the body length of this bug is extremely amazing.

This form...why does it look like a tapeworm in a human body?

Dr. Reed frowned, and said:

And it exists in the digestive tract, and its habits are very similar to tapeworms.

It grows with the energy in the host. The stronger the host, the faster it grows, and the grown tapeworm also needs more nutritional supplements.

This is indeed in line with Ganata's current situation. The fuller you eat, the hungrier you feel!

Dr. Reed straightened his body, pushed his glasses, turned around and said to everyone:

That's right, it should be this tapeworm that caused the peculiar situation of Ganata, but I don't know how it grows in the cosmic organism.

Tony stood up too, and the dandy frowned, saying:

It is reasonable to say that with the digestive ability of the star-swallowing daughter, it is impossible for this tapeworm to survive in her digestive tract that can digest the planet.

It can achieve symbiosis with Ganata, which shows that this thing must not be a simple thing.

In my opinion, we'd better wait for Merlin to come back and then deal with it. He has always been very good at researching these weird things.

Because the cause of the disease had been found, after more than ten seconds, the remote-rotating instrument also stopped.

Clutching her belly, Tunmei crawled out of the testing cabin with a haggard face, and saw the photo in Dr. Reed's hand head-on. The blue worm in the photo made her eyes widen.

The doctor said to the astonished Tunmei in a doctor's tone:

It seems that you need a deworming operation.
