Shadow of the Beautiful World

The magnetic field exists in all things. It is a naturally occurring force, but it can be perceived and used by gifted people.

You have to remember, girl, the most important point in controlling the magnetic field is to regard yourself as a part of it and integrate into it...

In the garden, Magneto leaned on his cane and said to the green-haired little girl sitting in front of him:

It would be foolish to force a magnetic field to be manipulated by a brute force, it would only drain your energy and make it difficult to do great things.

But when you integrate yourself with the magnetic field of this planet, then the power of the whole world will be at your disposal...

Now, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and feel... the magnetic field, those pulsating forces, are all around you, it's always there!

That's your soldier, waiting for the king's call to step onto the battlefield...

As long as you give the order!

Lorna frowned. She imitated Merlin's way of meditating on weekdays, extended her perception, and followed Magneto's teachings to perceive the magnetic force that exists under every inch of the earth.

Wanda was standing beside her sister and father, the fingers of the powerful mutant Scarlet Witch flicked.

A light curtain invisible to ordinary people shrouded the garden, blocking the connection between this place and the outside world, lest Lorna could not control the power and cause undue damage.

I'm really jealous of them both sometimes.

Outside the garden, Pietro stood beside his girlfriend Crystal. He looked at the scene in the garden and complained to Crystal and Merlin beside him:

My sister is born with the ability to manipulate chaotic energy, just like a wizard, she can change reality.

As for my younger sister, she perfectly inherited the old man's talent, manipulating magnetic fields... Little Magneto.

Look at me again.

Kuaiyin pointed to himself, his fingers shaking in the air at a supersonic frequency, and he said:

I only have this, the speed... can't even reach the speed of light. Compared with them, it's really inferior.

Don't shake!

Crystal patted Kuaiyin dissatisfied, and she said:

feel dizzy.

Uh, fine.

Quicksilver stopped dancing his fingers. He turned his head and saw Mystique supporting Professor Charles walking around the square on the other side, basking in the sun.

Although the combination of a bald old man and a young beauty is a bit weird, the two people snuggling together really feel like an old married couple.

Tell me, Ms. Ruiwen, do you like my old man more, or Professor Charles more?

Quicksilver blinked, and he asked a weird question.

Crystal frowned in thought, but Merlin didn't care.

This question doesn't make sense.

The more you know about Mystique, Professor X and Magneto, the harder it is to answer this question.

The relationship between the three of them is too complicated, love and hatred are intertwined, and it has long surpassed the stories that simple love or family affection can describe.

Then again, not everything is equal.

The point is that now these three people who have loved and killed each other all their lives have finally ushered in the most peaceful time in their lives, and that's enough.

Crystal, have you been to Attilan recently?

Merlin pushed his glasses, and he asked:

Or, do you have any plans to go back to Attilan?

have.

The very beautiful and trendy little crystal princess said:

I may go back to report on my work in a week, and I will also report to my brother-in-law and the Royal Council about the situation in the afterlife. Is there anything?

Yeah, there is.

Merlin said to Crystal:

I hope you can help me convey my thanks to your brother-in-law, His Majesty the Black Bolt King. It's really rude to leave too hastily in the previous battle and not visit him in Attilan.

Okay, I'll pass on your thanks.

Crystal nodded to Merlin, she said with some coyness:

In addition, I have one more thing to ask you... Can you appoint me as the liaison officer between SHIELD and the Inhuman Dynasty in the official name of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Um?

Crystal's request made Merlin blink his eyes. He didn't understand at first, but when he saw Crystal and Pietro pulling hands together, he immediately understood.

Well, it must be that the little princess has been showing affection with Kuaiyin on social accounts all year round, only to be discovered by her sister and brother-in-law who are far away on the moon.

An Inhuman princess is dignified, while Quicksilver Pietro is just a poor young kid on Earth.

Coupled with the rigid caste tradition within the Yiren Dynasty, as long as Black Bolt and Medusa are not dizzy, it is certainly impossible to allow Crystal and Quicksilver to be together.

Crystal is planning to keep Chen Cang in the dark.

With an official status, her sister and brother-in-law can't stop her from returning to Earth.

The future is hard to say.

But now, drag it off for as long as you can.

OK.

In the end, Merlin did not disappoint the young couple. He said to the joyful Crystal:

You go to the Trident Building tomorrow, and my assistant will help you with everything. It's just an official liaison representative, so let's use the name of the World Security Council to make it more formal.

Yeah.

Crystal nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and Kuaiyin beside her also gave Merlin a thumbs up stupidly.

What a young man, what a lie.

Merlin sighed, if an old fox was talking to him about this matter, it would definitely not be so easy.

After all, Crystal may not have realized that, as the representative of the Yiren Dynasty on Earth, once she joins the system of the World Security Council, it means that the World Security Council also has the power to intervene in the affairs of the Yiren Dynasty in name .

Of course, Attilan was far above the emperor, and even if the World Security Council wanted to intervene, it would be powerless.

But who knows what will happen in the future?

A few hours later, the group had lunch in the dining room of the Luyinyuan Nursing Home. Kuaiyin, Crystal, and Wanda left, and they had to return to England.

And Lorna was also sent back to the mystery room by Merlin. The child still had classes in the afternoon.

Xuan Lan is a strict teacher in this regard.

You raised Lorna very well. She is brave, unyielding, energetic, and very smart. She has received systematic energy manipulation training, and she has progressed much faster than when I was young.

In the afternoon in the nursing home, Merlin and Magneto were walking on the side of the road, and the two were talking. Magneto said to Merlin:

I have to thank you, Merlin.

Whether it's Lorna or Charles, I have to thank you.

In the case of a mad attack, you could have killed Charles directly. No one would blame you for it, but you still kindly saved him and my old friend.

Yes, I have spent a lot of effort to save him.

Merlin leaned on his cane, and he said to Magneto:

It is many times more energy than dealing with you at that time.

hehe.

Magneto laughed. He invited Merlin to sit on a chair by the side of the road. He looked at Charles and Raven who were sitting on the swing in the distance. He said:

Maybe I have to thank you for giving me and Ruiwen the last dignity, so that we won't die of old age in the cage.

Utopia has been established, mutants are integrating into human society, and everything is going well.

Merlin says:

This may not be the same as the steps and methods you imagined, but if the result is good, it is really good. You want to give mutants dignity and freedom, and now your wish has come true...

You have no reason to fight.

There are still people who discriminate against mutants, but it is much less than before. The brotherhood you established has disappeared. What's more, you are just a weak old man. There is no need for me to put you in a place like the island prison. ...

That's a waste of taxpayer money.

It won't go so smoothly.

Magneto seemed to admit Merlin's statement, but he still stubbornly said softly:

There will always be waves. In the first half of my life, I have been used to those waves... There are always people who are not willing to see world peace, and they will always try their best to jump out and disrupt everything...

Then push them down again!

Merlin interrupted Magneto, saying:

The perfection of order cannot be destroyed. When order stands, the world will have real freedom. I will not allow anyone to destroy it.

Well, look what you said, Merlin.

Magneto smiled and said:

Why do I feel so familiar? Have you started to learn from me? Trying to control everything with great power...but you have also seen what happened to me.

You failed because you were creating chaos, while I was protecting order and protecting the interests of the majority.

Merlin said disapprovingly:

I won't fail, at least not like you...

But it's boring talking to an old man, so let's talk about other things.

Merlin looked at Magneto, and he said:

Do you like Lorna?

You asked that.

Magneto snorted:

That's my daughter. Although we have been together for a short time, the blood connection is not so easy to be cut off.

very good.

Merlin said softly:

Then if Lorna is in danger in the future...I hope you can protect her.

?

Magneto looked at Merlin suspiciously, and said:

Are you crazy? I was injected with the leech virus, the antidote is in your hands, and Lorna is in danger, will you sit by and watch?

I won't, but... who can say clearly about the future?

Merlin said blankly:

Also, it was Raven who injected the leech virus, but you didn't. What you injected when you left the island prison was just simple glucose.

???

Magneto's expression changed again, and he said:

I didn't? If I hadn't been injected with that virus, then after you destroyed Berserk, my ability should be... wait, you didn't destroy it!

Eric's eyes narrowed, and he lowered his voice and said to Merlin:

You're crazy! Why are you keeping something so dangerous? You must be keeping it from Charles, aren't you?

Yes, I didn't destroy it.

Merlin confessed:

I have my reasons, you don't need to know.

I just want to make a contract with you, Eric Lanciel. If one day your ability returns, it means that my best efforts have still failed.

If there is such a day, I hope you can remember our conversation today...

He stood up and looked at Magneto. He put two things into Magneto's palm, which were two white syringes.

He said to Magneto:

The antidote for leeches, two copies, you know who to give it to.

Magneto King Eric looked at the two syringes in his hand, he looked at Merlin in disbelief, and said:

Why? You said you were going to fail? What are you going to do? What does that have to do with Lorna?

Just as you worry that your troubles will be passed on to your children, I worry that my troubles will be passed on to my family.

Merlin was leaning on a cane. He bent down and said in Magneto's ear:

If that day really comes, protect her as if you were protecting your own daughter!

You...Are you not afraid that I will tell Charles these things?

Magneto looked at Merlin and said:

Aren't you afraid that after I regain my ability, I will go out and turn the world upside down?

You wouldn't do that.

Merlin said to Magneto firmly:

If I didn't fail, then you can spend the last days of your life in peace, and you won't have the chance to use them.

If I fail, what happens to the world has nothing to do with me anymore.

All right.

Magneto put away the syringe in his hand, he looked at Merlin who turned and left, and asked:

The last question, why me? I think your relationship with Charles should be better...

Didn't you just say the reason?

Merlin looked back at Magneto, he pushed his glasses, and he said:

Because we're the same kind of people.

At least in terms of protecting our families, we are the same kind of people... When necessary, we will kill people...
