74. Merlin's Imperial Plan (Part I)
"The message has passed."
In the Wasteland Prison, in the throne room, Oneiroi converses with Merlin through parchment.
It said to Merlin:
"Gao Tianzun happily promised, maybe soon he will interact with you, in his words, a gamble..."
"They have an advantage, Merlin, and as you can tell from the Collector's awakening of the Giant Beast in advance, they have a lot more resources at their disposal than you do."
"Yes, indeed."
Merlin held a quill and wrote on parchment:
"The odds of winning a head-to-head confrontation are very small, and it is difficult to seduce collectors in the past to work a second time, so it is good for me and for them to be able to solve the problem in this way at the table."
"As for the resources available, it's not a big deal. I hate gambling to decide everything, but if I have to sit at the table, I have my own cards. ”
"Can you give me some advice? Oneiroi. ”
Merlin writes:
"About the gambling patterns that Gao Tianzun and collectors are most likely to adopt."
Oneiroi on the other side of the parchment was silent for a few seconds, and then beautiful writing appeared on the parchment, and he said to Merlin:
"From what I know about the two of them, they don't really like normal games, and you can refer to the ones you went through before."
"The old gambling dogs have lost interest in ordinary gambling methods, and they want to see more exciting gambling content, such as a war, a confrontation of some different ideas, and a decision related to the survival of the world."
Oneiroi said:
"Take the story between Gao Tianzun and the Overlord as an example, they once participated in a great gamble together, against the dark god Barbatos, and the bet was on several universes."
"The story of that gamble is the survival of a universe, very similar to what you're going through right now."
"So, if I want to give you advice, I think what he wants to bet on you this time is very likely to have something to do with the earth itself."
"Not only does that bad guy want to defeat you, he also wants to win the beauty, and while defeating you, he will destroy what you have been guarding, and inflict more torture on you on the spiritual level."
Oneiroi drew a weeping face on parchment, and he said to Merlin:
"Don't doubt that the personalities of the brothers of Gao Tianzun and the collector are so bad."
"Moreover, with the cautious nature of the two brothers, they will definitely limit your actions to the maximum in the gambling game, and even not allow you to enter, so you must be prepared in advance."
"Hmm."
Merlin nodded, and said to the parchment that lay in front of him:
"I see, if that's the case, it's a good thing"
"If I can't get out, it means that they can't either, so I will have a headache to death if I let two single universe-level guys do anything wrong on Earth."
Merlin frowned and said:
"And the problem with Ganata, I thought that by providing her with an entire dark dimension of stars for her to devour, I would suppress her hunger, but then I found out that the more she ate, the hungrier she became."
"I think there's something behind it."
"Of course."
Oneiroi drew a smile of unknown meaning on the parchment, and he said to Merlin:
"There is indeed a secret, but it is a secret of the Star-Swallowing Family, and when you should know, you will naturally know."
Merlin felt that there was something in the dream myth, but the guy at least suggested a solution to his problem, and as for Ganata, her problem could be said later.
The two spoke a few more words, and Merlin stopped talking.
He put away the parchment and sat down in his chair, his chin propped up with his hands, his eyes closed, and thought about the resources at his disposal.
After a few minutes, Merlin made her decision.
Without knowing the enemy's means, the safest choice that can be made is to strengthen the current Earth's defense capability against various abnormal situations as soon as possible.
Keep strengthening yourself until you can calmly face any storm that blows.
And everything needs an introduction for it to happen, and Merlin thought in his mind about the various events that might occur on Earth at the moment, and he quickly had a general idea.
He picked up his notes from the bookshelf and flipped through them page by page.
After a few seconds, Merlin's gaze fell on one of the pages, which contained a very obscure magic.
Animagus.
An anomalous transfiguration spell.
When Merlin was not very strong, he used this spell himself, and he could turn himself into a harmless raven, which was very convenient for reconnaissance and monitoring.
But as the Raven's strength grew, the effect of this Transfiguration Spell became less and less.
After Raven's rebirth, he didn't bother to study this type of magic.
But at this moment, in the throne room, the raven stared at the spell in front of him, and some thoughts came to his mind.
HE OPENED THE DRAWER AGAIN AND TOOK OUT A PHOTO OF HIM AND KONG WHEN HE FIRST WENT TO SKULL ISLAND MORE THAN TEN YEARS AGO.
He put those two things together.
Raven's mind raced, and soon, a wonderful idea came to his mind.
The practice conditions of the Animagus Transfiguration Charm are quite harsh, and it cannot use magical animals as a transfiguration form.
This is because the intervention of magic may cause uncontrollable risks of transformation.
It can only transform into normal beasts, and 99% of the currently recorded Animagus users use the shapeshifting form of small animals.
Such as a cat, a dog, insects, birds, etc.
And the Titans...
Titans are theoretically also a class of beasts, and they don't use magic.
"In this way, can the Titans also..."
Raven's eyes narrowed, the idea was too fantastical, but if it was verified, it could give the Earth an extra batch of powerful spellcasters in an instant.
"The magic itself needs to be improved, the original steps are too cumbersome, and the preparation time is too long."
"It has to be a little bit simpler, even if it's less powerful because of it, and it has to be able to spread quickly."
Merlin moved his fingers and made up his mind that if Earth's current defenses weren't enough, then he would find some way to strengthen it directly.
He stood up and formed a clone in the form of Ekern to study and improve the Animagus spell recorded in the note.
The main body straightened its collar and strode out of the throne room.
He's going to go to Skull Island first and get some material to come back.
"Roar!"
An old friend comes to Skull Island, much to the delight of the King of Skull Island.
After a few months, this guy KONG has grown up again, and his height has exceeded 70 meters, like a giant standing up to the sky.
It stood in the valley, looking up just in time for Merlin standing on the cliff to look at it.
It winked at Merlin, and his innocent face was full of happiness.
"You're in a good mood."
MERLIN SMILED AND WAVED AT KONG, WHO FOLLOWED HIS EXAMPLE AND WAVED HIS HAND, THE BEAST'S FEELINGS WERE ALWAYS SIMPLE.
"I heard Winston got you a wife?"
MERLIN SAT CROSS-LEGGED ON THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF AND SAID TO KONG, WHO WAS STARING AT HIM WITH BIG EYES:
"Can you let me see me?"
"Whew."
KONG HOWLED, TURNED AROUND AND RUSHED OUT OF THE VALLEY, BREAKING AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF TREES ALONG THE WAY, LIKE A GREAT DEMOLITION OF SKULL ISLAND.
After more than ten seconds, the gorilla rushed back again.
It has another gorilla on its shoulder.
The orangutan was 10 meters tall, which was already a behemoth for ordinary people, but for KONG, it was just a small thing.
It was a female orangutan.
It was originally cloned by Hydra using KONG's genes.
After the fall of Hydra, it was taken over by the Osborne Enterprise, intending to be used for some biological experiments, and later it was taken back by the Imperial Organization by legal means and escorted to Skull Island and KONG as a companion.
Of course, the female orangutan is still only a toddler.
Theoretically, as long as she survives in peace, she will eventually grow into an ancient Titan as huge as KONG.
Of course, as a clone, she has some genetic defects.
It is said that Dr. Serizawa has been busy fixing this defect for her recently, and they have even given the female orangutan a nice name, Panchari.
The female orangutan Panchari, who was placed on KONG's shoulder and brought to Merlin to see, was a little shy and a little curious to look at the little human sitting on the cliff.
SHE COULD SENSE THAT MERLIN WAS A POWERFUL LIFEFORM, SO SHE WAS A LITTLE AFRAID, GRABBING KONG'S HAIR AND HIDING IN KONG'S MANE.
The female orangutan has pale blue eyes and looks full of intelligence.
"Yo, pretty lady."
MERLIN RUBBED HIS CHIN AND SAID TO KONG:
"You have to take care of her, she is your future wife and the future queen of Skull Island."
KONG CROSSED HIS WAIST, HE UNDERSTOOD MERLIN'S MEANING, HE PULLED OUT HIS FINGER AND GENTLY TOUCHED PANCHARI'S HEAD, HE BARKED AT MERLIN A FEW TIMES, AND INVITED THE RAVEN TO LUNCH.
It's going to catch a big fresh octopus for an old friend.
"Forget about eating."
Merlin waved his hand, and he said:
"I'm here to do you a favor and give me a drop of your blood..."
KONG LOOKED AT MERLIN SUSPICIOUSLY, AND HE QUICKLY RAISED HIS HAND, PICKED UP A SHARP STONE, AND MADE A GESTURE TO PULL A SCAR ON HIS FINGER, BUT MERLIN STOPPED HIM.
"It doesn't take so much."
MERLIN REACHED OUT AND PLACED IT ON KONG'S HUGE FINGER AND WIPED IT GENTLY.
A FEW DROPS OF BLOOD WERE DRAWN FROM UNDER KONG'S SKIN, AND THE PROCESS WAS PAINLESS AT ALL.
RAVEN PUT AWAY THE TITAN'S BLOOD, AND HE WAVED HIS HAND AT KONG, SAYING:
"I've got some things to do, next time I'll come and see you, if you need anything, I'll find Winston, and he'll help you out, and then, there's one more thing..."
MERLIN LOOKED AT KONG, ONE MAN AND ONE BEAST LOOKED AT HIM DIRECTLY, AND THE RAVEN ASKED SERIOUSLY:
"Do you still want to challenge Godzilla and become the king of monsters?"
"Whew!"
KONG THUMPED HIS CHEST WITH HIS FIST AND ROARED, AND IT THREW A HEAVY PUNCH INTO THE SKY, A MOVEMENT THAT REPRESENTED KONG'S THOUGHTS.
It still doesn't want to bow down to Godzilla, and it will one day challenge the king of monsters.
"Well, that's good."
MERLIN TOOK A STEP FORWARD, LEVITATING IN THE AIR, HE HELD OUT HIS FINGER AND FLICKED IT ON KONG'S BRAIN, AND HE SAID:
"Then I'll help you."
"If you're lucky, maybe soon, you'll have the strength to challenge it."
————————
Deep in the rainforest in the southwest, Dr. Serizawa is busy in an ancient temple with several senior researchers from the Imperial Organization.
They brought with them a lot of engineering intelligence and airlifted a lot of building materials, as if intending to renovate the ancient, collapsed temple.
They were going to relocate the research labs that were originally located outside the rainforest to this temple.
Beneath this humble temple lies a huge cave shaped by mountain movements, and in the cave dotted with rainforest waterfalls, there is also an ancient Titan discovered by the Imperial Order.
Of course, there is something special about its form at this time.
"Yo, it's really hard to find you, Mr. Busy Man."
Just as Dr. Serizawa walked into the temporary office and was about to take a break, Merlin's smiling teasing voice suddenly sounded in the office, startling Dr. Serizawa.
The latter turned his head while stroking his heart.
He looked at Merlin, who was sitting in a chair and looking at a few papers on the table, he glared at Merlin and said:
"You're so elusive every time, I'll be scared out of a heart attack by you sooner or later."
"Then you'd better get some exercise, Serizawa."
Merlin looked up, and in the dim light of the office, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he said to Serizawa:
"I don't want to see Miss Vivien widowed, and your newborn child... Need I give you some potions to strengthen your body? ”
"Forget it, you can't take medicine indiscriminately, especially for an old man of my age."
Dr. Serizawa glanced at his slightly fat belly, and he reached out to take off his coat, unfastened his cuffs, and said to Merlin:
"A big man like you must be very busy, is there something wrong with coming to me so suddenly?"
"Yes."
Merlin knocked on the table and said to Dr. Serizawa:
"I need all the blood samples of the Titans that the Imperial Organization has collected so far, and KONG's share is gone, I've already got it. Blood samples from each of the other Titans. ”
"What do you want those things for?"
Dr. Serizawa frowned and said:
"Ever since Hydra cloned KONG, those samples have been locked down by the World Security Council as the highest level of secrecy. The Sky Eye Club is in charge of guarding, and it will take a lot of effort for me to get it. ”
"I need to do a magic experiment."
Merlin said calmly:
"I don't need to explain this to you, you have no interest in magic, and you don't necessarily understand it."
"That's good for the world, and I'm here to tell you about one of my ideas, one that isn't very mature."
With that, Merlin looked up at Serizawa.
He said:
"About, what I envisioned, a real imperial plan."
"It's true that we can't control Godzilla, the king of monsters, but think about it another way, maybe we can create our own 'King of Monsters'!"
