Shadow of the Beautiful World

At night, Merlin was lying on the bed in the bedroom, flipping through the magic book in his hand.

It was already midnight, the night was quiet, and it was the quietest time of the day in Merlin's house, even Mr. Gu Gu had already fallen asleep. But Merlin is a wizard, he doesn't need rest, so he spends his time studying magic.

Merlin has been in magic for more than ten years. For ordinary spellcasters, this is not a long time. After more than ten years of study, ordinary spellcasters can at best become official mages, but Merlin has already He is a powerful wizard.

He not only masters all kinds of spells of orthodox wizards, but also dabbles in a lot of black magic because of Liana's relationship. In recent years, because of Zatanna's strange dream, he has begun to dabble in more complicated mysticism Domain, such as the book in his hand, is precisely a collection of fantasy creatures in the Wuguang Sea.

He borrowed it from his eldest sister Ruiwen. It belongs to the kind of book that no one wants to touch, the kind of book that can scare children to tears and make adults have nightmares at night.

Merlin watched with relish.

But it is a pity that the study of mysticism requires the support of talent, which both Rui Wen and his close friend Zatana have told him.

This kind of magic that deals with weird, unnameable and exotic things requires more than ordinary spellcasting talent, it needs that kind of weird blood that is difficult to explain clearly.

Anyway, Merlin definitely didn't have one.

But he is not discouraged, it is always good to be more prepared for the weird creatures that may be faced in the future.

But just after Merlin finished admiring the picture of a creature called Nightmare Squid, Icarus, who he put on the bedside table, suddenly cast a blue projection in the bedroom.

The projection is bare, with only one sentence.

Help us!!!

Merlin narrowed his eyes, and his eyes moved down to the sender of this message.

Reed Richards?

Merlin turned his head to look at the glasses on the bedside table, and asked:

Where is Reed now?

swish

Icarus did not answer with voice, but switched the projection again. A holographic projection of the solar system star map wrapped Merlin, and the space station where Reed's spaceship was located was marked by Icarus in the projection.

Oh, space, it doesn't look far away.

Merlin folded up the book of horrific incidents in his hand, put it on the bedside table, then reached out to pick up the glasses and put them on his face. He uncovered the quilt, put on his shoes, and stretched out his hand to open the window. In the shaking, Merlin's whole body turned into smoke and fled into the night.

Merlin went all the way up the sky, staying at a height of hundreds of meters. He called his royal car, the powerful three-transformation mechanical knight Horus, and asked Icarus to call his good friend .

A few minutes later, the call was connected.

Hello, Clark?

Merlin asked:

Where are you now?

I just sent Louise home and this party is getting ready to go home.

Clark, who was walking on the streets of New York, said:

Is there a problem?

At this time? Take it home?

Merlin asked in surprise:

Then why are you still going home? Wouldn't it be good to just live with her?

cough cough

Clark coughed twice, and he said:

Her roommate is here, it's inconvenient.

Uh, fine.

Standing high in the sky, Merlin saw Horus flying towards him in a state of optical invisibility from a distance. Recently, Horus has been at the headquarters of s..l.d., following along with noises and ghosts Sir Autobot Master of Fighting learns Cybertronian combat.

The black streamlined Kerry shuttle stopped beside Merlin, and the hatch opened outwards. Merlin stepped into the shuttle and said to Clark:

If you don't plan to rest immediately, come with me to save a few people...

Where are you going?

asked Clark.

Beyond the earth, in the space station.

Okay, wait a minute.

Clark hung up the phone, he looked left and right, and then got into the phone booth on the side of the road. A few seconds later, the son of Krypton, wearing a blue Kryptonian battle suit and a red cape, left at a speed that ordinary people could not detect. The telephone booth, rushing into the night.

His speed was extremely fast, and he rushed out of the atmosphere in a few minutes and entered the real space. Because of the solar storm that had just erupted, the pure sunlight tonight was extremely powerful, and Clark was bathed in that In the light, I feel my whole body is full of strength.

That kind of warm feeling is like soaking in comfortable hot water, warm.

He hovered in space, moved his body, corrected his flight path, and rushed towards the space station. When Clark arrived at the space station, he saw a black Kerry shuttle docked next to the space station. He recognized that guy, it was Merlin's mechanical knight Horus.

Clark greeted the silent Horus, then hovered in front of the space station, and knocked on the door of Reed's spaceship. After a while, the door was opened, and Merlin stood outside the door, leading Looking at the half-covered mask left by Carol, he said in a low voice:

The speed is a bit slow, Clark, have you neglected to exercise recently?

I'm just basking in the sun.

Clark landed lightly in the cabin of the spaceship, and he said:

Today's sunshine is very good, very suitable for sunbathing, I decided, after a while, I want to sleep in space... Actually, you can try it too, Merlin, it feels really good .”

Uh, let me forget it. Compared with you, I'm just an ordinary person.

Merlin shook his head, and he took Clark into Reed's spaceship with a very futuristic interior design. Icarus has taken over the internal systems of this spaceship, but because he does not have Reed's authority, it cannot be restarted. spaceship.

Most importantly, the control system of this spaceship was written by Reed himself, and even Icarus could not crack it in a short period of time... The most powerful human intelligence is just so unreasonable.

I've found them.

Merlin pointed to the four people who were placed in the three medical cabins in front of him, and he said to Clark:

Icarus told me that the four of them may have been irradiated by cosmic rays, causing their bodies to mutate. You have also seen that their condition is very bad.

Clark looked at the medical cabin in front of him. Indeed, the four people in front of him had mutated to varying degrees.

Reed Richards' body is like a mass of mud. This is not an exaggerated adjective. His facial features and body are all distorted, like plasticine kneaded together by a brat, slumped in the medical cabin Here, the scene can be called horror.

And Reed's fiancée, the beautiful Dr. Susan, is in a state very similar to little Ava. Her body appears and disappears, and from time to time, a group of energy sparks burst out, which Merlin and Clark can feel There was violent energy beating in Miss Susan's body.

But the situation of the two of them is much better than that of Jonathan.

This Merlin didn't know, Dr. Susan's younger brother is like a burning pillar of fire, every inch of his skin is burning, and the flames are wrapped around his body, barely able to see a human figure, even God Some of the medical cabins produced by the Shield Bureau can't withstand such energy changes, so Merlin can only throw him on the ground and wrap him with a cloud of magic.

The body temperature of this burning guy is still rising, and now it has reached a dangerous 3000 degrees Celsius.

Fortunately, Merlin's magic was still barely bearable.

The last person is Ben Grimm, who is also a guy that Merlin doesn't know. His situation is the most stable, but it has become too stable.

Ben turned into a big rock.

His body has completely turned into a body of rock, like a pile of rocks. There are eyes and mouths on the highest rock, but it has completely lost its human form.

These mutations are different from the ones I've seen before. They don't come from magic, so I can't accurately judge their status.

Merlin said to Clark beside him:

However, the energy in their bodies is very unstable, so I must send them back to Earth as soon as possible.

what about me?

Clark asked:

What is my mission?

This ship!

Merlin pointed to the spaceship under his feet, and he said to the powerful Kryptonian:

There are a lot of completed experiments on this ship. It is obviously inappropriate to leave it here, so you have to transport it back to the ground and put it on the Pegasus base first. You know where it is, right?

I knew it.

Clark complained:

You must have come to me to do these drudgery.

Those who can do more work, brother.

Merlin patted Clark on the shoulder, and then planned to send the four unlucky people in front of him back to Horus' cabin. Just as he levitated the treatment cabin with gravity, Clark beside him suddenly sneezed loudly. .

Merlin was startled.

What’s wrong with you?

Merlin turned around, looked at Clark with a strange expression, and said:

Aren't you invulnerable to all diseases? Are you sick?

I don't know either.

Clark also rubbed his nose suspiciously, and said:

I'm a little uncomfortable. I don't know why. I've never felt this way before. Speaking of which, is this the feeling of being sick? It's really strange.

It's better to go to the hospital... Uh, forget it, the hospital can't cure your illness.

Merlin waved his hand and threw a healing spell on Clark. He glanced at Clark with his spiritual vision and found that the guy was in good health and there was nothing wrong with him.

Maybe it would be nice to get some more sun.

Merlin nodded to Clark, then picked up the three medical cabins and a burning human stick, and used the teleportation spell to return to Horus' cabin in a flash. The black Kerry shuttle was activated at the next moment and flew around the space station. It made a circle, and then rushed towards the earth like an arrow leaving the string.

Clark opened the cabin door of the spaceship, and flew into space by hovering. He was basking in the pure sun, and the faint discomfort on his body quickly dissipated.

The Son of Krypton shrugged his shoulders, flew under the Reed spacecraft, clasped his hands on the deck of the spacecraft, like a person lifting a mountain, lifted the nearly 1-kilometer-long spacecraft, and flew towards the earth quickly. go.

This spaceship is extremely heavy, but for Clark, it is just a little bit more laborious.

In the past few years, he has picked up an out-of-control plane in the sky more than once, or picked up a sinking cruise ship from the sea. Kryptonian artificial intelligence Cal. The only way is to constantly break through the pressure of self. In these years, Clark has been constantly breaking through his own limit.

To be honest, he didn't know why he did this, but he had a feeling that although Krypton had been destroyed, he was definitely not the only one left with traces of that planet.

Maybe soon, there will be a steady stream of troubles coming to your door.

He must become strong enough before that to protect his family, his lover, and, together with his companions, protect this vibrant world.

Clark carried Reed's spaceship all the way into the atmosphere, and he tried to keep it steady. There were many experimental items in this spaceship, which could not withstand too much impact.

But just after Clark entered the atmosphere and lost the pure sunlight, the weird weak state appeared again.

Cough cough...this is...what...what's going on?

It was as if Clark had a bad cold suddenly. His head started to hurt and his breathing became difficult, as if some invisible things were entangled in him like a ghost. It was like a disease, but not quite like it Ordinary people's descriptions of illness.

Clark's coughing became louder, and his dizziness became more intense.

His arms that were supposed to be like steel became limp at this moment, and even flying became difficult, and the world below his eyes began to spin.

The power that Kryptonians are proud of is being strangely excluded from his body, and the spaceship above his head is getting heavier and heavier.

This is...

Clark felt nauseous, and the symptoms of dizziness struck quickly. He originally propped up the spaceship to land, but soon, he was pressed below the deck by the rapidly falling spaceship, and fell to the ground with the spaceship.

Clark realized that something was wrong. He didn't know why it happened like this, but he still had the last of his sanity. He activated the communicator and said to Merlin:

Merlin...save...uh...

Clark? Clark!

Merlin, who was putting three treatment cabins and a burning human stick in the treatment room of the ghost base, heard the call, he raised his head suddenly, and Icarus quickly switched to the sky view, under the search of several military satellites, , 2 seconds later, Merlin locked onto the Reed spaceship that was rapidly falling to the ground and Clark, who was firmly pressed down by the spaceship.

The Kryptonian Superman, who has always been reliable, has fallen into a coma like a fragile mortal.

swish

Merlin's figure suddenly disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he grabbed the unconscious Clark and returned to the treatment room of the ghost base, then disappeared again, and appeared for the second time under Reid's spaceship that had begun to crazily rub against the atmosphere.

Your normal strength can't support this spaceship...and you have to calculate the kinetic energy of the fall...unless you become a half-demon, but...

Icarus reminded that the next moment, Merlin's fingers pinched a strange spell with a serious face.

Don't bother...

Merlin's voice sounded, and with the infusion of magic power, his fingers and arms quickly spread out like blossoming knuckles, like the most gorgeous illusion, with the dancing of Merlin's fingers, the nine phantoms were like the statue of Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara in the ancient oriental country Expand.

swish

At the next moment, 10 Merlins and 10 Ravens hovered above the sky, and the 10 superpositions of normal power set off a substantial tide of ordinary magic power in the air. Between the whistling wind that danced with magical brilliance, another hole card was opened. !

This is super magic...

The shape of Aiken!
