Shadow of the Beautiful World

We now know that they are all heirs of the alien family that served the hive in ancient times, and in the passage of time, they lost their identity as aliens. Although there are alien genes in their bodies, they cannot be activated .”

We also know that they are hidden in human society and are likely to occupy high positions, otherwise they would not be able to use so many resources to find the 'god' they believe in.

They may be the oldest and most orthodox inheritance of the Hydra. The skull and octopus logo of the Hydra may have been originally used to praise the power of the hive. But the new Hydra came from behind and squeezed these ancient worshipers of evil gods. In the shadow of the Hydra.

They are very good at hiding, and they are extremely patient and very low-key. If it weren't for the Kree's offensive, it is very likely that they will continue to keep a low profile until one day they call back the hive.

In the dining room of Gordon's house, Princess Crystal, holding a cup of ice cream, listened to Merlin's news about Faith Hydra.

After Merlin finished speaking, Crystal nodded like pounding garlic, and she said to Merlin:

That's all.

Actually, the Yiren Dynasty doesn't know much about the hive worshipers. After all, we only learned the fact that the ancient Yiren demons are still alive after the Cree launched an invasion of Attilan. Somewhat caught off guard.

Waving the spoon, she said to Merlin:

The materials stored in our large library are more records and descriptions about the hive itself.

The hive can control any alien species with absolute power except for the mysterious whip. You already know this, but there is another point that you may not know.

The hive is not only a desperate natural enemy for aliens, but also a terrible threat to humans.

Crystal showed a disgusted expression, she said:

The hive can quickly become stronger by devouring flesh and blood. In the ancient scrolls we found not long ago, it is recorded that in ancient times, the hive once swallowed an entire tribe to make its body strength reach an inhuman level, and it can Shifting his consciousness back and forth between flesh and blood, like an invisible ghost.

Every time it parasitizes a flesh and blood creature, it will obtain all the memories and skills of that life, and except for aliens, all flesh and blood can theoretically be parasitized by it.

Little Crystal showed a slightly terrified expression, and she said to Merlin:

If it has lost its mind and has gone mad, it will be a terrible disaster when it is released.

Merlin stared at the crystal, and after a while, he said with some disappointment:

Little princess, what you said doesn't seem to be of much use other than exaggerating terror. However, you are right. It is too difficult for a force that has been away from the earth for decades to collect information.

How about this.

Merlin stood up, and he said to Crystal:

You go on your journey first, try your best to find traces of the Black Stone, and let us know if you find it again. Where do you plan to start?

I don't know, my knowledge of the earth is limited to those slides.

Crystal scratched her hair, she quickly had an idea, she said:

But I have a friend on Earth, a very good friend, and she is also a historian, so I plan to ask her first, ask for her opinion, and then make a decision.

OK.

Merlin took out his pocket watch to check the time, and he said to Crystal Princess:

So, are you going to stay here? Or come back to New York with me?

To New York, of course!

Crystal Princess waved her fist energetically, and she said:

I want to see the Statue of Liberty and then eat something I haven't eaten. But I came out in a hurry

Crystal took out a few scattered gems from her pocket, she looked at Merlin pitifully, and said:

I don't have any money from you, so can I live with you first? When I have money, I will definitely pay it back! I swear!

it does not matter.

Merlin reached out and stroked the hair of this lovely young girl, he said with a smile:

Accommodating aliens, aliens, and supernatural people, so that they don't do things on the earth, this is my job, no need to pay, it is not suitable for you to live in my place, but I can prepare a room for you Apartment. And as an envoy, when you left, your sister and brother-in-law should have told you to follow some rules on Earth, right?

Um.

Crystal Princess nodded, and she said:

I am very obedient.

Okay, I will arrange for one of my subordinates to act as a liaison between the two parties. She will take care of your daily life. If you are going to travel, she will also assist you in finding the Black Stone.

Merlin said frankly:

I want to tell you in advance that she is an agent. She has a cold personality, but she is definitely a good person. You don't need to like her, but for your safety, you can't hide from her, can you?

Yeah, I don't have a secret mission, and I like making friends.

Crystal says:

I'll be friendly with her.

very good.

Merlin turned his head and waved to Gordon who was standing outside the restaurant, and then put his hand on Crystal's shoulder. In the light of the transfer spell, Merlin brought Crystal to the Trident Building first, and entrusted Agent Hitterwell to After Crystal went through the registration process of supernatural beings, he invited the little greedy cat princess to have a meal at Mick's Restaurant. In the afternoon, he sent Crystal to the Carter Manor in Brooklyn.

Bang, bang, bang

Merlin knocked on the door, and a moment later, Sharon, wearing brown sunglasses and pajamas, opened the door.

Because she was about to move from s.d.o.l.d. to the Trident Building, Sharon had been packing her things for the past few days and taking a vacation by the way. Merlin's visit was rather sudden, and Sharon seemed to have just woken up.

Sharon, this is the Crystal Princess of the Inhuman Dynasty.

Merlin said to Sharon:

Recently, I hope that she will live in the Carter Manor, so as to avoid some troubles. Of course, if it is not convenient for you, I can take her home, but

Yes, sir.

A smile of understanding appeared on Sharon's face, and she said to her chief:

There are many rooms in this house left by my aunt, of course Miss Crystal can live here.

Well, she may go on a round-the-world trip after a while to find some important things, so I'll leave her to you, and she will contact you directly in the future, and let me know as soon as she finds anything.

Merlin blinked at Sharon, who nodded knowingly.

Don't worry, sir, I will assist Miss Crystal.

Crystal, the envoy of the dynasty, did not bring much useful news, which was a bit disappointing, but Merlin knew a long time ago that eradicating Hydra was a long-term task, and there was no rush.

Next, I'm going to talk to Coulson about Naxin, as well as the situation of several bases. I also need to take time to take a look. There is also George's pursuit of the fire, which should be resolved in the near future. There are results.

Merlin quickly returned to his huge office. He sat on the office chair, thinking about his work for the next period of time. There were so many and complicated things to deal with, Merlin felt it was necessary to make a list.

He took out a pen and paper, recalled the things that were waiting to be dealt with in his mind, and wrote:

The deep-diving hydra, the hive of the alien evil god, and the remnants of a.i.m.

Ms. Cassandra's commission and the Brotherhood of Assassins waiting to be rebuilt are related to the healing of the hoarfrost in Elsa's body.

The spark of the Cybertronians, the mechanical life of Cybertron hidden all over the world, and the Decepticons who have been silent.

The movement of the Sangong and the dimension of hell, Ruiwen's seal.

The opening ceremony of the mutant Utopia Island that is brewing, those radicals who are still hiding, and the unidentified red phantom's mad attack.

The ancient Titans that the Emperor Organization has discovered, those that have not been discovered, and those that are being tracked, Kong, Godzilla, Raton, and the most dangerous Ghidorah.

Finally, there are a few warnings about the armistice agreement that will come in a few years, the convergence of the heaven and the earth, and the first princess Xia Kela that the monsters entrusted to find.

After writing this, Merlin put down his pen and rubbed his forehead. These are major events that need to be paid attention to, but under these major events, there are still many small problems that have not been listed because there are too many.

Carol who will eventually return from among the stars, the mysterious forces behind Cassandra and Geralt, the exit option left to him by the Supreme Mage in the Holy of Holies, and the spirit entrenched in the basement of the mysterious house. , the spirit that was tightly bound to Zatanna's family.

And my own troubles.

The magic power of the Three Houses may contain Beowulf, the symbiosis of Gnar's will, the dread hammer Skadi placed in the treasure room, the crimson gem of the Crimson Master, and all of them have been collected and can be used at any time The three magic tools of the ancient Three Demons.

And the kids at home.

The entanglement between Eric and Wakanda has finally been resolved, and Charlie and the Hornet are still in touch, but the possibility of this girl wanting to become a Hornet knight is getting smaller and smaller, and she may eventually return to the life of ordinary people. Might as well be a good thing.

With Raven and Merlin's fates tied together, the brother and sister will finally face the biggest conundrum of their destiny, Sangong is sealed, but it won't be sealed forever.

Lorna's biological father, Magneto King Eric Lanciel is still at the bottom of the Island Prison. He has always maintained a non-cooperative attitude. , he still has to deal with the relationship between the father and daughter in the end.

daisy

The parchment in Merlin's hand once predicted that Daisy would destroy the world after awakening the alien ability. Merlin has been paying attention to that girl. Although there is no sign of blackening at the moment, all she needs is a Terry who suddenly appeared With only one crystal, Daisy might become the Destroyer in language.

Merlin has been hiding Daisy's life experience, he hopes that the girl can live in peace, but

And Matt, Matt is the most obedient child who made Merlin feel at ease, but Matt once heard the scene of his father being shot and killed, which was a nightmare that the child would never forget in his life.

But Matt is also a child with supernatural powers, and Merlin can't predict what his future will be.

There is also little Ava, there is not much time before little Ava completely disappears in the quantum sea, if he wants to save that poor child, Merlin has to speed up and find Dr. Hank who is hiding very well as soon as possible, Or find another way.

And finally little Peter.

Merlin's nephew, thinking of little Peter, Merlin's heart ached. He had vowed to find the murderer who killed Richard and Mary. He killed Mrs. Hydra, destroyed the branch of Hydra, and will participate in the death knell He was detained in the ghost base, but Merlin knew that this was not over yet, and there were still people behind the scenes who hadn't been caught.

Little Peter is still young, he still doesn't understand, and Merlin is very worried about how he will answer him when little Peter asks him about his parents one day in the future.

And it's not over yet.

Merlin has not forgotten the boy Barry in Central City who lost his mother and his father was wrongly imprisoned. He has not forgotten the Arthur in Port of Mercy whose fate is closely related to the sea. The young man who signed the contract.

Those have all appeared in his life, maybe they were just some friends and acquaintances who suffered from misfortune, but at this moment, at this point in time, Merlin no longer thinks that everything he has experienced is nothing. meaningful.

These people had entered his destiny, they were an inescapable link in this destiny, and sooner or later, Merlin had to face the stories of each of them.

It's like a map that is slowly being completed. Although there are still large gaps, the fragments that have appeared can no longer be ignored.

Ah, it's all troublesome things.

Before he knew it, the paper in front of Merlin's eyes was already full of things to do. The more he looked at it, the more complicated he felt the problem. He tried to find some connected thoughts, but he couldn't find it.

Merlin raised his head, the sky outside the window was covered with the sun at dusk

It's time to get off work.

Merlin waved his hand, and the windbreaker hanging quietly on the hanger quickly jumped onto his shoulders, and then spread it out of his casual suit. With the movement of opening the office door, Merlin stepped into the mysterious room with one step.

To his surprise, at this point in time, there were still visitors in the mysterious room.

Ah, Mr. Merlin, long time no see.

Still wearing the black, bold, and sensual magician costume, Zatanna put down the magic book in her hand. She stood up from the sofa, brushed her long hair, and said to Merlin:

I encountered a few problems in my study of occultism and would like to ask you for advice.

Are you free tonight?
