Shadow of the Beautiful World

Vico is gone.

The current situation no longer allowed him to stay any longer.

Arthur is overwhelmed by what happened to his mother, and until he calms down, Vico can't do anything.

In fact, if it was not Vico who appeared in front of Arthur and Namor at this time, but another Atlantean, then he would definitely be torn to pieces on the spot by the angry Arthur with the trident.

This child has not had the slightest affection for the Atlanteans who took away his mother since he was a child.

Now that he learned the truth, he was already full of hatred and loathing for the underwater world.

Vico is a good man, Arthur.

Namor watched Vico leave in a daze, he turned his head and said to Arthur who was also in pain behind him:

He grew up with Aunt Atlanta. If it weren't for the stupid blood, he would be Aunt's ideal partner. You can continue to trust him.

I know I've always trusted Vico, and I can understand why he's hiding it.

Arthur covered his brow, and said:

I'm just just

It's okay, I can understand, when I looked at my mother's tombstone, I was the same as you.

Namor advised:

Go back, Arthur, go back to your house, and wait patiently.

After I have prepared everything, I will call you. We will go back to the country established by our ancestors together. You will complete your revenge for your mother and my aunt, and then go to live your own life.

No, I can't just look at it like that.

The young man also had an impulse in his heart, an impulse stirred up by anger and hatred. He said to Namor:

I can fight too! I can't just watch you deal with them alone.

you?

Namor looked at his cousin, and after a while, he shook his head:

No, you can't.

You have strength. Vico trained you very well, but you don't look like a fighter at all. I don't think your father would want to see you fighting desperately in the sea, and I don't want to see it either.

Namor patted Arthur's arm, and he said:

What's more, there is Merlin's factor. If he knows that I abducted his nephew to the battlefield, he will definitely come to trouble me.

Don't underestimate your Uncle Merlin, Arthur.

Namor shrugged, and he reached out to call his pet, Great White Shark Gross, he turned over and rode on the back of this behemoth, and he said to Arthur who was standing on the reef:

I can't afford to mess with Merlin, and I don't want to cause trouble.

That's all, Arthur, and go home.

Namor!

Arthur brandished his trident, and said:

There's a fire burning inside of me and I have to do something! Let me help you

You really want to help?

Namor looked into Arthur's eyes, which sparkled with youthful blood and an undisguised impulse.

Namor knew that if he refused Arthur's help, this impulsive kid would definitely go find the Atlanteans by himself.

But Arthur is still very young, only in his 20s. Although he has strength, he has not experienced cruel fighting at all.

He could very well be found, caught, or worse.

Namos thought about it, and felt that he should really find something for Arthur to do, lest he cause some big troubles.

Well, I happen to have something here for you to do.

Namor took out a map of the underwater world from his pocket and threw it to Arthur. He said to Arthur:

In recent months, there have been gossip rumors in the Fisherman's Country that the Atlantis army built a weird prison there, and it seems that an important person is imprisoned there.

He can be imprisoned, which means that he must have some conflicts with Atlantis officials, which means that we have a common enemy with him.

Namor said to Arthur:

You can go there and have a look. It would be better if you can rescue the mysterious man, but if the situation is serious and you can't handle it yourself, just call me.

You also have the ability to summon sea creatures, right?

Um.

Arthur put away the map, he glanced at the fierce and ferocious great white shark under Namor's crotch, and said:

I can call the fish, but I've never seen anything like this shark

That's because you go too little, Arthur.

Namor said to his cousin:

There are many, many strange creatures in this sea, and Gross is one of the most powerful of those creatures. When you know enough about this sea, you can find your favorite adventure partner.

I believe that you will eventually find a pet that is not inferior to Gross.

Namor reached out and patted his pet, he waved to Arthur, and said:

Protect yourself, Arthur, see you next time.

After finishing speaking, Gross the great white shark swung its huge tail fin, carried Namor, and quickly disappeared under the sea.

Arthur could see the big white shark quickly disappearing into the sea in front of him like a galloping torpedo. Under the afternoon sun, he waved goodbye to the cousin he had just met.

Today he confirmed the news of his mother's death, which made him feel very bad.

But he found his long-lost cousin again, which made Arthur feel better again.

At the very least, my cousin, although a bit paranoid and extreme, doesn't look like a bad person.

Oh, yes, and this!

Arthur took out the map on his waist again, checked the direction, then closed his eyes, and called out to the sea creatures in the sea. After a while, a flexible dolphin jumped out of the sea, wagging its tail happily, and landed beside Arthur. forward.

Arthur rode on the dolphin, carrying the trident behind his back. The moment he dived into the water, he thought enviously:

Cousin's great white shark is so handsome

In the future, I must find a more handsome and powerful pet.

Well, there is still some time before dinner, let's go to that fisherman's country first.

—

You're done, Namor.

In the deep dream, a voice rang in Namor's ear.

Namor raised his head, and saw that he was in a strange and distorted gloomy forest, and in the shadow in front of his eyes, a woman with a crow's beak mask was standing there.

She stood faintly in the darkness, like a ghost.

But this can't scare Namor.

Why did you come into my dream?

Namor frowned and asked:

Witch, I don't remember any intersection between us.

You're done, Namor!

The witch in the shadow repeated in a strange tone:

You told Arthur what Merlin had been hiding all along, and that wasn't what Merlin wanted Arthur to know at this stage.

If he didn't want me to tell Arthur the truth, then maybe he shouldn't have sent Arthur to deliver the memory bottle.

Namor said calmly:

Since Arthur appeared, it means that Merlin doesn't really care about the leak of this secret. It is impossible for a person like him to ignore this.

And I feel even more that he asked me to meet Arthur because he wanted me to take care of Arthur instead of him

Did something happen to Merlin?

Well, as he said, although you may appear irritable occasionally, you are a smart person most of the time.

Seeing that she didn't scare Namor, Zatanna stopped playing tricks.

She walked out from the shadow of hiding, still wearing a mysterious cloak and a mask, and with a little effort, she took out a small suitcase from the broken dream rift and handed it to Namor.

She said to Namor:

This is something that Merlin asked me to hand over to you. I don't know exactly what he wants you to do, but he said that if you see this thing, you will know what to do.

let me see.

Namor took the box, and he opened it in the dream.

In that suitcase, there was a syringe made of a special material, not an ordinary syringe.

This thing is one piece, only the thickness of a little finger, and at the top of the syringe, there is a sharp pointer.

Namor picked up the syringe, and he could feel some viscous liquid flowing in it.

Whose body does he want me to stab this thing into?

The troubled prince of Atlantis said with some dissatisfaction:

He wants me to be an assassin, it's really overkill.

Don't ask me these questions.

Zatanna waved her hand, and the dreams around the two of them shattered into pieces. At the moment when Namor was about to wake up, Zatanna's voice sounded again:

Oh, and, Merlin asked me to tell you, don't kill people! And now you should wake up!

swish

Namor's eyes were completely opened in the next moment, and he fastened the syringe in his hand, he was still a little dazed.

Merlin didn't tell him at all who the target was or where it was

Damn wizard, just like playing charades.

But the moment Namor woke up, the sea water brought him a clear perception.

In a region a little far away from this sea area, Merlin's aura appeared there, and there was also an equally familiar aura from Namor.

Professor Charles?

How could he be here?

Shouldn't he be in Utopia?

With this question in mind, Namor swam silently in the water towards where the two were.

He vaguely had a guess, he deliberately slowed down, under the cover of the power of the trident in his hand, his aura blended into the sea, and could no longer be felt.

—

In the remote sea area, Professor Charles appeared on a deserted island with a wheelchair. He received a message from Merlin a few minutes ago.

Joy surged inside him.

He will be free today.

No matter what Merlin decides, Berserk will be free, or the soon-to-be-born Franklin Richards, that young mutant with endless talents.

Either Merlin Riley, a powerful spellcaster, a life like no other.

Regardless of the outcome, this old body will no longer be able to restrain Kuang Gong

Today is the best promised day that his soul longing for freedom can get.

I thought it would be a little later for you to make a decision.

The professor was sitting in a wheelchair. He looked at the edge of the island in front of him, and Merlin whose back was facing him.

That guy was still the same as before, wearing that black slim windbreaker, with a blood jade cane under his black gloved fingers, the sea breeze blew Merlin's broken hair, making his slightly thin body look a little more elegant.

I thought about it, and I think it's not good for you or me if this matter drags on.

Merlin looked at the endless sea in front of him, and he said to the mad attack behind him:

So I pushed myself, I let myself make a decision, a tough one.

He turned around, looked at Kuang Gong behind him, and said:

Very tough decision, actually.

I still can't cross my bottom line, so I won't help you occupy Franklin Richards

But I will not let you occupy my body.

Onsrat, my friend, please forgive my refusal, but I still have a lot of things to do in my life, I can't just give up halfway, I have to grit my teeth and go on until the last moment.

Merlin's words didn't cause Kuanggong to have any obvious emotional fluctuations. He seemed to have expected all this a long time ago. He stretched out his hands, put them on the armrests of the wheelchair, and then stood up.

The unparalleled spiritual power belonging to Professor Charles exploded at this moment, blowing Merlin's windbreaker and hair dancing wildly backwards.

Pieces of metal quickly covered Kuang Gong's body.

In the blink of an eye, the ferocious, mighty, and extremely evil armor that belonged to the violent attack covered Professor Charles' body.

Under the armor that is very similar to Magneto's helmet, the iconic, loud sound of the mad attack resounded on the island.

Well, as I expected, you still chose the worst path

It is with sadness that I bid you farewell, my friend Merlin, the hour of parting has come

Now, I want to take back what you owe me with my own hands

Kuang Gong said:

Struggle!

The more intense the struggle, the better I will remember you as a loser!

boom

The cane in Merlin's hand touched the ground. As the dark red light dissipated, the hell barrier in the cane was stretched at this moment. In the chaotic dimension, Merlin pushed his glasses and flicked his fingers.

The power of space was meekly controlled by Merlin at this moment, and the strongest magic that could only be released in the super dimension spewed out.

In that staggered space, amidst the roaring magic storm, the fluttering Merlin hooked his fingers at Kuang Gong.

He said:

What you want is in my hands

Come!
