Shadow of the Beautiful World

Gudong, Gudong

The blue cosmic force is like water, poured from the Raven Book into the core of the cosmic furnace.

It was like an endless tide, no matter how Merlin fell, the blue force showed no sign of drying up.

In front of his eyes, in the core of the cosmic melting furnace that has been washed clean, the egg-shaped combustion chamber has been filled with two-thirds of the liquid.

Those blue liquids, reflecting pure starlight, swayed back and forth in this container, like an inner sea, with an indescribable sense of tranquility.

Behind Merlin, Carol Danvers, who was fully armed, looked at the surrounding metal creations curiously. She had never seen the body of the cosmic furnace before.

And this mechanical creation as huge as a star easily reminded her of the Cybertron continent.

The cities shaped by those metal machines are also so cold and magnificent.

And after entering this place, Carol could feel that a mysterious consciousness was following her.

That should be the consciousness residing in the body of the cosmic melting pot.

Will such a creation also have the existence of self-perception?

It's amazing.

While Carol was watching the cosmic furnace, The One was watching Carol Danvers.

It can tell from the intimacy between Carol and Merlin that this woman with powerful cosmic energy should be Merlin's spouse.

She has potential, and from a mortal perspective, she is undeniably destructive.

She still has room for further improvement. There is no doubt that if Merlin is given more time, he will have a powerful helper.

Unfortunately, time is not on Merlin's side.

boom

With a soft sound, the last drop of cosmic force was also poured out from the Raven Book.

The starlight on the magic tome also dimmed. Before Merlin's eyes, the huge combustion chamber was already filled with blue cosmic force.

He put away the magic tome, raised his head, looked at the densely packed mechanically connected equipment on the high place, and said:

Is this enough?

Enough, enough.

The One replied slowly:

It's enough to ignite the furnace and let the real light and heat spread throughout the universe, but I told you before that the ignited force is to reshape reality, and they will mercilessly swallow up all illusions...

My fellow travelers are ready.

Merlin said calmly:

I entrust all this to them, I believe they will not let me down, the irritable force will be smoothed, and the stars will be covered with a gentle gesture, turning illusion into reality.

But what about the foundation?

The One added:

The Supreme God and the giant beast are unwilling to make sacrifices for the real birth. They lack the support of the foundation. Even if the burning force covers the illusory world, the transformation cannot be completed. You must find a strong enough foundation before the force goes out.

In other words, according to your plan, you must send the two Outer Gods into my furnace before the flames go out, as the foundation of the real world.

But I think they probably won't just get caught like that.

That's all I have to worry about, my friend.

Merlin didn't care, telling The One:

Just burn it, and leave the rest to me.

Okay, okay, since you're confident, let's light the fire!

The One's voice echoed in the furnace, saying:

The moment the flame ignites is the moment when the blockade of the stars is released. I believe that the Outer God will descend immediately. I hope you are really prepared.

certainly.

Merlin took out a silver thing that looked like a lighter from his pocket.

That's the ultimate eraser that Dum borrowed from Observing the Frog Picture. This thing is a true cosmic artifact, as long as it is fired, it can annihilate everything that exists in reality.

But after a slight modification by the crow, this artifact of destruction, which looks like a lighter, has really become a lighter.

When it is pressed, the power originally used for destruction will be gathered into a super-high-energy flame, which is enough to ignite the liquid cosmic force.

This kind of thing definitely cannot be ignited with a magic flame.

Merlin played with the cold gadget in his hand.

He looked at the lighter in his hand, and there was a fast floating light in his eyes, it was an indescribable look.

He was silent for a few seconds, and then passed the lighter in his hand to Carol behind him. The mistress was waiting to see her husband's feat of igniting the universe, and was always ready to cheer for Merlin.

But she never expected that Merlin would hand over the work of lighting the fire to her.

Um?

Carol looked at the Ultimate Eraser who was sent into her hands, she looked at Merlin suspiciously, the latter smiled at her, he said:

Come on, using this thing will consume my energy, but I have to prepare to face the incoming foreign gods, so help me.

Something doesn't feel right to me.

Carol frowned, looking at the silver lighter in her hand, she said:

This is not within the plan. Did you make the change suddenly, or was it planned for a long time? Merlin! You must be hiding something from me!

how could be?

Merlin's face remained unchanged, he stretched out his hand to stroke Carol's long hair, his eyes were full of tenderness and nostalgia, he said:

I won't hide from you, don't think too much, light up the fire, the world has waited too long.

The mistress was still not at ease, until Merlin had to swear to tell her that everything was going according to plan, and at Merlin's urging, she put the lighter under the valve of the cosmic furnace.

She glanced back at Merlin, who had his back turned to her, had already drawn out Judas, and entered the state of preparing for battle.

An inexplicable feeling rose in the heart of the mistress.

She always felt that something unexpected would happen today, maybe it was related to Merlin, but at this moment, she couldn't allow her to think any more.

The preparations on the earth, the preparations of the heroes, the unity of the same hatred, including the gathering of the gods of the universe, all forces are contributing to this battle of resistance.

It is impossible to stop at this moment.

Carol pursed her lips, her finger on the trigger of the Ultimate Eraser.

Use a little force.

boom

Amidst the splash of energy, a dancing flame rose up, like the first ray of light in the darkness. The moment it ignited, the dancing flame was sucked in through the valve.

Just like a fire dragon passed through the bronze pipe, and then divided into several directions, those jumping sparks fell into the combustion chamber of the cosmic furnace at the same time.

The flames are like light feathers.

In the scattered falling, falling into the lake of endless waves of cosmic force, it was like the oil being ignited, and the moment the flame was extinguished, the dark blue flame shot up into the sky.

They are burning, and they burst out with power unimaginable to mortals.

Those liquid fires collided violently in the combustion chamber, just like water vapor, pushing the complicated levers and pistons to start moving.

In an instant, the entire melting pot of the universe came alive.

Hundreds of millions of gears began to rotate, and amidst the rattling echo, the valves of several pipes leading to the outside of the cosmic furnace were opened bit by bit.

Like a boiling sea of ​​fire, the ignited cosmic force spurted out in all directions under the impetus of the furnace.

The faint blue force was burning, and the moment they appeared, they tore apart the space between the cosmic furnace and the outside world, and those burning flame wings exploded in a covering manner, soaring up at a super fast speed.

They rush towards this universe where there is no up, down, left, or right, and run wildly towards the edge.

Just in the blink of an eye, more than 500 of the 7200 cosmic sectors were completely covered by the burning force.

The beings in those sectors that had no defense at all raised their heads in astonishment, and looked at the sky, where the blue fire flowed down like a waterfall.

Wherever they go, the extended emptiness is mercilessly swallowed up.

Whether it is a magnificent city or a backward village, whether it is a powerful warship or a galloping warrior, wherever the flames go, everything is reduced to ashes, and there is not even the slightest wreckage left in the burned world.

They are inherently false.

Like a beautiful soap bubble, it will eventually perish under the sun's rays.

The entire group of stars has been enveloped in blue flames, and the flowing time has not even exceeded 5 seconds. It is covered, and those howling burning forces are rampaging, and everything dies wherever it goes.

It looks like the end is coming, and in fact it is.

But after the blue magma flows through, there is real existence, and in this illusory extinction, there is also the hope of the growth of all things.

The premise is that the creatures in the vain can grasp this ray of burning hope.

look around.

The universe fell into a sea of ​​​​flaming flames, and the entire stars were set ablaze.

———————

boom

Beyond the stars, the overlord with a gloomy complexion stood up and punched the gambling table in front of him.

This punch contained terrifying power, breaking the starry creation into the most basic elemental particles, which evaporated in an instant.

Opposite him, Tyrion also grabbed the star-spangled scythe.

Obviously, both of them have already discovered that something is wrong.

An aura of madness was burning on Cyber ​​Hawk. Before his eyes, the blockade of the stars had been broken from the inside, and what was exposed to everyone's sight was a ignited star.

The blue flames were beating wildly, which seemed to be a sarcasm, mocking these old gambling dogs for wanting to absorb the authority of the stars.

But they can only be wishful thinking!

How is this going?

Saibo looked back at Gao Tianzun and Collector, the bodies of the two brothers were trembling, but they gritted their teeth and said nothing.

They lost the bet with Merlin, and they had to keep the secret for Merlin.

Of course, this is not their will.

But the flow of time in the two places is completely different. From their point of view, the game with Merlin only passed a few minutes.

Even if you want to remind, it is too late.

What's more, the elders of the universe didn't even think about reminding them.

They have already suffered a lot, why should they stop the loss for Saibo and Tyrion?

On the other hand, the Oneiroi looked calm.

This is normal, he is blind, he can't see Saber's murderous expression.

But he could feel the violent killing intent, he held the pen in his hand calmly, and said:

Compared to pursuing responsibility, shouldn't you do something to stop Merlin's rebellion? Both of you.

If it is slower, the ownership of these stars will belong to Raven.

Yeah?

The Overlord moved his arms like an ancient beast. As the muscles stretched, his wrists began to glow.

He looked at the burning world in front of him, and then at the death god with a cold face.

He grinned, and his thick white teeth looked rather frightening.

He said:

Things are really getting more and more interesting. The little guy is provoking. Since he wants to play, then I will play with him.

The man exuding fighting spirit looked at his opponent, and said:

Hey, Tyrion, the ownership of this universe, wait until we kill that little guy, do you have any objection?

No.

The face of the indifferent King of the Dead was filled with cold air, and a mask of an ice skull was looming on his face.

Pushing his blindfold behind him, he said:

Disobedience! Intolerable!

Okay, then let's talk about it, I'll kill that little bastard, and you can stop the stars from reshaping... Don't worry, I won't take the opportunity to seize control.

In the sound of the knuckles of the moving fist, the Overlord separated a projection within the carrying range of this pocket universe.

Amidst the wild cheers and whistles of the onlookers behind him, he stepped into the stars in front of him.

The silent Grim Reaper followed closely behind, and his projection stepped into the burning stars amidst the white frost splashing everywhere.

The outer gods, the cruel creators, the losers of the game, the proud fighters.

They had seen the crows signal to them a duel, they had felt the call to war, and they were enraged by the provocation.

They finally came off in person.

This will be a duel between the Creator and the rebellious creatures!

Oneiroi watched this scene, and the pen in his hand trembled slightly, but it was not because of fear.

The book in front of him has turned to the last page, the gaps are about to be filled, the story is about to come to an end.

But how the story turned out...

Even he, who single-handedly contributed to the current situation, is not sure.

Who will win?

Who will lose?

Or, there is no winner at all, and everyone loses...

However, if Merlin can achieve this step, no matter what the result is, he cannot be regarded as a loser.

Those cheers and fanatical roars present already represented that these gods from the main universe actually did not expect that the guy who was regarded as a pawn could actually do this.

Indeed, the story is not perfect and has flaws,

Even some plots are annoying, and some are not interesting.

But in the end, in the end, it still has its own ending, a complete, reasonable, and not unfinished ending.

For the Oneiroi who purely pursues the story, reaching this step is actually enough.
