Shadow of the Beautiful World

There are many, many myths and stories circulating on the earth, 90% of which come from the self-imagining of mortals, and more than half of the remaining 10% are only fragments of words, unsystematic fragments, except Apart from these, the only remaining part of the myth represents the truth.

There was indeed a powerful god named Odin on the earth. He controlled the endless power of lightning and fought for the future of the earth and even the nine kingdoms. He was the nominal ruler of the earth, although the people on the earth did not know this a little.

There was indeed a Mount Olympus on the earth. The gods headed by Zeus overlooked all living beings on the top of the sacred mountain, and before the collapse of Mount Olympus, they left the last blood in the world.

Oh, they're called gods, but they're not really gods.

They also have another name called the Forerunner er, we can talk about that later.

In short, those Greek gods fused their own blood with human blood, and thus gave birth to many demigods, Hercules, Perseus, Hercules, these heroes who have left history are just half-human and half-god. The most famous of the gods are not representative of all demigods.

After the end of the age of mythology, there are still traces of demigod activities on the earth. For example, in a remote and secluded museum on the outskirts of London, the demigod Diana is watching her friend conduct a trial .

Diana, her father was Zeus, and her mother was an unknown queen.

The story about this lady's past is also very exciting.

However, the story belonging to Merlin is still long, and we will have enough time to talk slowly in the future.

Diana, who had beautiful black hair, opened the drawer of her office and took out a rolled leather whip from the drawer. She hesitated for a moment, then handed the whip to Crystal.

she says:

Use it carefully, don't use it to do bad things.

Use it right in front of you.

Crystal took the whip, smiled at Diana, and said:

You don't need to take them out.

After finishing speaking, she slapped the suitcase she was carrying with her, and the metal suitcase shell quickly cracked and turned into a substance similar to sand, exposing the hidden things inside.

It was a woman.

A woman curled up in a box, unconscious.

Who is this?

Diana is also a person who has seen the world. She didn't make a fuss because Little Crystal hid someone in her suitcase. She frowned and looked at the woman curled up in the suitcase.

She looks to be in her 30s, wearing ordinary, featureless clothes, and has a good figure, but just from the outside, this woman is really featureless.

She's a hydra.

Crystal sat on the chair, stretched out her hand, and controlled the power of the elements to shape two lower-level earth elements, holding the unconscious woman in front of her eyes. While wrapping the whip in her hand around the woman's wrist, she explained to Diana:

More than 20 days ago, I traveled to Eastern Europe. On the outskirts of Sokovia, I accidentally found a group of mysterious guys in a meeting. It was a group of hidden hydra, which was found by S.H.I.E.L.D. The division was beaten badly, so I had to go into hiding, and I tried to get more information about Blackstone from them, but nothing came of it.

Crystal tilted her head and said with a headache:

They are all diehards, and I don't have the means to penetrate the soul, so I can only bring this woman to you. She seems to know a lot.

Um.

Diana nodded.

She knows that the alien princess crystal can manipulate the elemental power of wind, fire, water, and earth. As long as she wants, she can hear a lot of news from the wind, and with her ability, a group of armed bandits is really not hers. opponent.

Don't look at the young Crystal Princess who looks stupid, but being sent to Earth by Black Bolt and Queen Medusa as a liaison officer proves that Crystal is not as simple as she seems on the surface.

As for where all the Hydras except this woman went, Diana didn't ask, and Crystal didn't say either.

Although she has been staying in her own museum, Diana also has her own news channel from the outside world, and she has also heard about what Hydra has been doing over the years.

In Diana's long life, she has seen many people who do bad things under the banner of 'order'. Hydra is just one of the more powerful organizations of those lunatics, and it is not even the most dangerous one.

These guys, to be honest, it's not a pity to die.

Hey, wake up.

Crystal reached out and patted the cheek of the woman in front of her, waking her up from the coma.

The woman opened her eyes in a daze, and saw the crystal smiling towards her. She struggled subconsciously, and fear welled up in her eyes. Before she fell into a coma, she saw with her own eyes how this fragile little girl called out to her. A burning monster came out, burning her companions to ashes amidst screams.

This is a demon!

A little devil with a pretty face!

Say! Who are you!

Crystal grabbed Diana's whip, she asked.

I, my name is Erica!

As soon as the woman said her name, the leather whip wrapped around her wrist burst into orange light, and began to tighten as if by magic. A burst of pain from the bottom of her heart caused the woman to struggle and scream.

But what was even more frightening was that another force sprouted in her heart, encouraging her to answer the questioner in front of her with facts.

That is the power that ordinary people cannot be immune to, and it is derived from the divine power of the Greek gods.

My name is Hale, Hale. J. Grant.

The trapped woman closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. She didn't want to answer, but under the pull of the weird whip, she had to speak and spoke the truth.

Ha, your mantra lasso really works.

Crystal glanced back at Diana behind her, who shrugged without answering.

This lasso with supernatural power has a great origin. It was made by Hephaestus, the god of fire, using the golden belt of Gaia, the goddess of earth, and was blessed by the goddess Hestia. Mies himself was tied to the arrow and shot down from Mount Olympus to the mortal world.

It symbolizes the truth in the world, and anyone who is caught in the noose of mantra can only tell the truth.

In this world, there may be someone who can resist the divine power attached to it, but it will definitely not be an ordinary person.

Crystal looked back at the struggling woman in front of her, and she asked again:

Ms. Hale, tell me about something you've done in the past.

I won't tell you!

There is also a stubbornness in this woman's bones, her eyes are bloodshot, and she is almost trying her best to resist the surging power in her heart, but Crystal is not angry or in a hurry, she just pulls the mantra lasso casually. Seconds later, Hale collapsed under the surging force in his heart.

She closed her eyes and said in a desolate tone:

I was born in Texas. My parents were loyal members of Hydra. When I was 12 years old, I joined the Hydra Junior Corps organized by Daniel Hothall. I met a lot of people there. The young and strong faction of Hydra, and after graduation, entered the US Army through the arrangement of Hydra. After serving for 10 years, he became a colonel. In 1993, he was ordered to take over Base 084 of S.H.I.E.L.D. and transfer some of the 084 items. come out.

After the Kree invasion in 1994, Hydra realized that the rise of S.H.I.E.L.D. was unstoppable, so I was arranged to evacuate from North America and carry out secret activities in the Middle East, South America, and Australia.

The S.H.I.E.L.D.'s counterattack against Hydra was very successful. Our organization was suppressed to the brink of failure. The leader had to order us to enter the 'deep dive'. All external activities were stopped. Covia lived for several years until a year ago, when I got a new order.

What order? Who is your leader?

Crystal asked.

General Hale wanted to say something, but she couldn't make a sound. She opened her mouth, like a hen being strangled, and could only make a clucking sound. Her expression was painful, just like her throat A stone was stuck in it.

Stop!

Diana put her hand on Crystal's shoulder, she said with a serious face:

There is a magical force preventing her from saying the name of the Hydra leader. She can't stand this kind of collision. It is a power not weaker than divine power. Let me ask.

good.

Crystal handed Diana the lasso of mantra, and the demigod whispered:

Your leader is hiding in North America?

Um.

The pained Hale nodded under the power of the lasso of mantra.

Is he a soldier like you?

No.

Then he is a businessman?

No.

Politicians?

Um.

Okay, next question, his position is prominent, is he the head of the government?

yes.

Halle's expression became more and more painful. It seemed that the weird power was not as stupid as Diana thought, and it seemed to have its own thinking. If Diana continues to narrow down the scope bit by bit, it is estimated that Hale may not survive a few problems and die of a broken heart.

Is he the president?

No!

Well, he has more power than the president?

In some ways, yes.

Diana narrowed her eyes, and the demigod rubbed her forehead. After thinking for several minutes, she asked the last question.

He's a politician, a prominent man, an old man with more power than the president. So, let me guess, he's a member of the World Security Council? Maybe a director?

right.

Hale answered this question with difficulty, and as a result, under the impact of the magic power of the lasso of mantra and the dark book, there was a crackling sound of bones breaking in her body, which made the crystal creepy.

Diana glanced at Crystal, then at the weak Hale, and asked:

Where is the black stone? Where is the black stone that can summon aliens and evil gods?

Below Yorkshire Castle.

puff

Hale answered the last question. Her eyes dimmed quickly while the blood spurted wildly, and the mantra lasso was loosened from Hale's arm.

Diana put her fingers on Hale's neck, and after a moment she shook her head.

The soul is broken and hopeless.

Diana turned and walked to her desk, she said to the thoughtful Crystal behind her:

You deal with the corpse, I'll make a call, and then I'll go find Black Stone with you.

Um.

Crystal nodded, she waved her fingers, and the two earth elements holding Haile changed shape rapidly, and soon wrapped Haile's lifeless body, the soil wriggled and tightened quickly, and after a while, a A palm-sized ball of mud was suspended in front of Crystal's eyes, and with the wave of Crystal's finger, the ball of mud was thrown out of the window.

A life, just dissipated.

Diana picked up the phone on the table and dialed a weird, long number. After several transfers, she said to the person on the other side of the microphone:

Trevor, you guys have been tracking down the remaining HYDRA in North America, haven't you?

Yes, Diana.

On the other side of the phone, Mr. Trevor, the leader of the Sky Eye Society, an official intelligence organization affiliated to the United States, said casually while processing the information at hand:

This is supposed to be SHIELD's job, but Mr. Fury is too busy to take care of the whole world, so we don't mind doing it for you. Any news from you?

Yes, and it's very important.

Diana glanced back at the crystal, and she said:

I found the leader of Hydra, he's a male, old man, he's on the World Security Council, maybe a director

this

Mr. Trevor, who had also seen big winds and waves, was also shocked by the news. He hesitated for nearly ten seconds before answering:

It's not that I don't believe you, Diana, but

I got the news with the lasso of mantra.

Diana chuckled and said:

You have personally experienced that thing more than once. You should know that under the lasso of truth, there is only truth and no lies.

good!

Trevor took a deep breath, and he gestured to the busy female commander Amanda Waller beside him, saying:

I'll start investigating right away. Thank you for the news, Diana. Besides, come out for dinner on the weekend?

Hehe, Trevor.

Diana laughed and said:

If I remember correctly, we broke up 65 years ago. Are you planning to reconnect?

Uh, between friends, if you have something urgent, forget it.

Trevor made a haha, he exchanged a few words with Diana, and then hung up the phone. On the other side, in the museum in London, Diana put down the phone and looked back at the crystal, which seemed to be ready to go Prepare.

And the young man with silver-gray hair who was guarding the door was also called in by her.

Who is this?

Diana looked at the young man curiously, who immediately puffed up his chest and introduced himself:

Hello, Miss Diana.

Trying hard to look polite, he said:

My name is Pietro, Pietro Django Maximov, my friends call me 'Quick Silver', and I'm Miss Crystal's um, good friend! Looks like you guys are going to do something big, that me Want to help too.

But it's dangerous

Diana has lived for so many years, so she can naturally see Pietro's love for crystal, but it is too wrong for a young man to participate in such a dangerous thing.

But before she finished her persuasion, she saw Pietro's figure circling the office like the wind, and delivered the shield, sword and crown she hung on the wall to her.

The whole process took less than a blink of an eye.

Oh, a speedster is the same as Hermes.

Diana narrowed her eyes and said softly:

Interesting, no wonder Little Crystal is willing to be friends with you, so you are not an ordinary person.

Okay, you come with me.
