34. Ice burial. Death of the Hive (Part II)
The clock went back a little bit, about 10 minutes ago.
On the top of a mountain in the barren world, Merlin sat on a rock, he closed his eyes and meditated, and the slightly restless magic of the three palaces in his body was smoothed out little by little.
The triumph attempt was very successful, and there was still a lot of potential to be tapped into in this power system, which Merlin named the "three-way system", but after each use, it was necessary to re-sort out the magic in the body, which felt a bit troublesome.
After all, the power of Nar, the god of the abyss, and Kur, the dreaded serpent, are controlled by themselves, but only the magic of the three houses is controlled by Merlin.
Merlin didn't dare to connect to Sannomiya's consciousness so easily, his "father" was much better than the unlucky Nar and Kull. Sannomiya is now only sealed in his own dimension by Raven, its life form is not damaged at all, and its strength is hundreds of times greater than that of the weakened Nar and the Great Serpent.
Once the consciousness of the three houses revived in Merlin's spirit, then the two weak Heavenly Father gods would be "swallowed" by the three houses almost instantly.
It's like playing a dangerous game, it's like dancing on the tip of a knife, every time the power of the three phases is activated, Merlin has to control the strength of the magic power of the three palaces, a little more, or a little less, will trigger very bad consequences.
"Whew..."
After taking the 25th deep breath, Merlin opened his eyes.
In front of his eyes, the land that was originally a desert had been completely shattered, and the collapse of the continental shelf had made the ground under the feet of Merlin very unstable, full of cross-flowing magma, and the tumbling, sulfur-smelling black smoke was escaping in the air, and the destroyed atmosphere had become sparse, making the air here very thin.
The core of this world has collapsed, and the disintegration of the world is only a matter of time or time.
This shattered land now looks as bad as the fabled hell.
On the hillside behind Merlin, silver-gray parasites tumbled in the sand and scorching air, and those dense parasites soon converged into a beehive on the mountain behind Merlin.
Well, it has a cold look in its eyes and a foolish anger on its face.
Apparently, it had seen through Merlin's pretense, it was ashamed that it had been deceived, and now it was going to beat up the stupid pretentious human and kick him in the ass!
Merlin came back to his senses, the wand in his hand was aimed at the hive behind him, his dark red eyes staring at the fellow who had gone and returned, and he said:
"Your Excellency Hive, why are you coming to me instead of ruling your world?"
"Shut up! Swindler! β
The hive spread its arms, and a terrifying number of silver-gray parasites flew around it like a storm.
"Your scam ends here, you weak fellow, you've played all your cards, now get down on your knees and beg for mercy! Either... I'll eat you like food! β
The hive bared its teeth at Merlin, the expression on its noseless face extremely hideous, its cheeks and the tentacles on its forehead tumbling like the skeletal octopus in the Hydra badge.
It says:
"You vicious-minded creature must be delicious... Uh, juicy, fragrant dead man's flesh! β
"Hmm..."
Merlin Says:
"You're going to eat me? Isn't that a bit too brutal? β
The hive did not answer Merlin's sarcasm, and with a wave of its hands it was about to unleash thousands of parasites that would gnaw away every piece of Merlin's flesh and soothe its stomach that had been hungry for millennia.
But just before the hive could eat Merlin, Merlin suddenly withdrew his wand, and then made a pause gesture, he looked at the hive, and said:
"Ah, it looks like I have no cards to play, I lost, what a pity... But before I die, Lord Hive, will one of my insignificant wishes be granted? β
"Say!"
The hive manipulated the parasite to land on Merlin's body, and seeing that Merlin did not resist, it thought that this creature might really accept his fate.
This made the hive feel a little happy, and it arrogantly said:
"I am a merciful king, and I am willing to give you some insignificant mercy."
"Thank you."
Merlin pretended to be pretending, but leaned over the hive in a sincere tone, and asked softly:
"As far as I know, in the three thousand years since you were exiled, there have been some loyal human beings who have followed you, sending you sacrifices in an attempt to communicate with you, and even to untie you and set you free, so that they can welcome back their 'gods'... What I want to know is, can you tell me, in this day and age, who are the leaders of those hydras? β
Merlin looked at the hive in front of him and said:
"I've heard that after devouring a life, you have access to all the memories and knowledge of that life, so you should know his name, right?"
"Yes, I know."
Hive said slowly:
"But why should I tell you? You don't have the bargaining power with me, do you? β
"But you promised me."
Merlin's whole body was crawling with silver-gray parasites, but he didn't care, he said seriously:
"You promised me as king... Is the king's promise so worthless? β
"Yes, I did."
A hint of cruelty flashed in the hive's black eyes, and it whispered:
"But I suddenly changed my mind again... I want to watch you die in disappointment, that despair is like a condiment, and it will surely make your flesh and blood more delicious. β
"Ugh."
Merlin sighed in disappointment, and said:
"Sure enough, your soul is as ugly as your appearance, what a bastard!"
"Buzz"
Merlin's body suddenly atomized, and the parasites that wanted to eat his flesh were all gathered in the black mist, and the scorching hellfire ignited in the black mist, incinerating all the parasites of the hive.
"I don't have any flesh for you to devour..."
Merlin spread his hand, and clumps of ash flew up in the wind, a sight that completely enraged the hive, and it roared into a silver swarm of insects to devour Merlin completely.
But to the hive's surprise, Merlin didn't dodge, but smiled and waved at it as if to say hello.
No!
Wrong!
It's not saying hello to it, it's behind it... Behind...
The hive reacted extremely quickly, and in a flash it scattered the parasites that were throbbing around it in all directions, like scattered flowers from the ceiling, trying to dodge the attack from behind.
"Buzz"
The fingers as white as ice stretched out from the sudden white light, and they were so lightly dotted on the swarm of the beehive, and the terrifying cold broke out at this moment, and the cold ice visible to the naked eye grew like a burning flame, like a tree that was blooming and bearing fruit.
In just a few seconds, an ice flower like a rose bloomed on the hill.
In each petal, there are frozen silver-gray parasites, like silver emblems dotted on the flowers, making this huge, dozens of meters high, like a work of art, the crystal bright ice flower look beautiful.
In front of the ice flower, Merlin opened his hands and held Elsa in his arms, who pounced out of the white light, and whispered in his girlfriend's ear:
"Do me a favor..."
"You say."
Elsa buried her head in Merlin's shoulder, and she whispered:
"As long as I can help."
"That bastard makes me angry."
Merlin stroked Elsa's long cold hair, and he said:
"It hides in every corner of the world, like a ghost... It thought it would get away with it, but I thought, it couldn't. β
"Simple..."
Elsa chuckled, she hugged Merlin, and with a flick of her fingers, a perfect hexagonal snowflake jumped into the air behind Merlin, and the temperature dropped suddenly, like a furnace that was quickly extinguished.
After Elsa let go of the confrontation with the hoarfrost in her body, the terrifying catastrophe from the unknown was born in this broken world, probably because Elsa also felt very angry at the hive that dared to hurt Merlin, and this time the hoarfrost that was released on its own initiative also showed extreme rage.
A storm of white snow and ice bloomed from the snowflakes thrown by Elsa, and in the deadly cold wind howling, the heavy glacier froze everything on the ground like towering buildings rising from the ground.
Shattered earth, scorching lava, shards of earth rising into the sky because of gravity chaos.
The cold glacier roared, it seemed to be given real life, and the rapidly expanding ice and snow were like an army of ice that had been released, freezing the surface of this small world in the blink of thousands of horses.
The hive hiding in its hiding place screamed, it screamed in terror, it flew, trying to dodge the wildly spreading hoarfrost behind it, it roared:
"Enough! That's enough! I'm telling you! I'll tell you all! I lose, I surrender! I am willing to obey you and spare my life! Spare me..."
"Click"
With a soft thud, the last of the silvery parasites that flew desperately towards the stars froze on the top of a cold ice pick that had been stabbed from the ground into the sky.
Behind it, an entire world was frozen.
The world that had died long ago because of the beehive died again today.
A gorgeous ice burial...
To a vile soul.
ββββββββββββ
The half-demons who jumped into this cage world with teleportation looked around, and the goose feather snow falling from the sky seemed to be covering the world on the land covered by glaciers, wanting to erase all the unfortunate things that had happened in this world, as the last and quietest end to this world.
"The hive is dead?"
Dimon looked at Merlin, who was standing hand in hand with Elsa at the edge of the glacier, and he glanced at the three unconscious Inhumans lying at his feet, and he asked:
"Would you like to make sure again?"
"No need to confirm."
Leaning on the glacier and holding her arms folded, Siria replied:
"Whatever is hidden in this world, it's cold."
"The freezing of hoarfrost is only a faΓ§ade, this natural catastrophe will absorb the temperature of all life, and sucking life and leaving barren ruins is what it has been doing... The moment they were frozen, the parasites were dead. β
"Okay."
Dimon nodded, he pointed to the three Inhumans at his feet, and he said:
"No one will know everything that happens here, you see, these three Inhumans are unconscious, and they are powerful, they have perfect souls, why don't we take them..."
"Don't touch them, Damon."
Merlin turned back to his companion and said:
"They are the leaders of the Inhuman world, they can disappear, they can die accidentally, but not here, not at this time. The Cree have their eye on the Inhuman Dynasty, and if they lose their leader at this time, then... It's a hassle. β
"Kree?"
Liana, the queen of the frontier, looked at the dead world, pouted, and said to Merlin:
"It's better to send Mrs. Riley to the capital of the Cree people next to you, and look at the eyes, Mrs. Riley can destroy the Cree Empire alone."
Elsa turned around and gave Liana gentle smile as she said:
"Thank you, Liana, I love it... But alas, no. β
"The hoarfrost doesn't absorb the heat of a world, it gets stronger."
Or the white-haired female swordsman Siria explained:
"Although Elsa... Well, we don't know if the hoarfrost fragments in Mrs. Riley's body have anything to do with hoarfrost, but unless it's an unexpected situation like this one, we don't recommend that Elsa take the initiative to use this power, after all, it has endless troubles. β
"Alright, don't mess around."
Merlin said to Dimon behind him:
"Damon, you send the Black Bolt King and his wife and sister back to the present world first, and put them in the mystery house, I have something to ask them. You guys go back first..."
Merlin waved his hand, and he said:
"I'll stay here for a moment, there's still something to do."
"Oh~ there are some other things, we understand."
The lustful female devil Satana looked at Merlin with strange eyes, and then at Elsa, she made a strange sound, and I don't know what she understood, in short, the others quickly left the frozen world under the leadership of Siria, leaving only Merlin and Elsa here.
"They seem to have misunderstood..."
Elsa watched the others leave, and she said to Merlin:
"Your image in their minds is probably going to deteriorate a lot."
"Haha, let them relate, I don't need to explain."
Merlin crouched down and put his hand on the glacier under his feet, Elsa flicked her fingers, causing the glacier at Merlin's feet to melt quickly, Merlin closed her eyes and put her fingers in the shattered earth, as if sensing something.
After several minutes, he slowly pulled a strange black liquid out of the crack in the earth.
"Metal clum, a mysterious and strange thing that only exists in the mantle layer of every world, Dr. Hall told me that it is these things that maintain the gravity of a planet."
Merlin looked at the black liquid suspended in his palm, like black mud, and said to Elsa:
"My ability to control gravity is achieved by the metal in my body... This thing is quite dangerous, but if it is used well, it may also be a source of my strength. β
"Are you going to collect them?"
Elsa leaned against Merlin, she blinked, and said to Merlin:
"Ciria knows a lot of worlds ruined by hoarfrost, and those worlds are abandoned, if you need these weird metal clums... Maybe she can help you. β
"Hyria."
Merlin shook his head, he looked at the crack under his feet, and said:
"That girl has a weird temper, who knows what she needs to help me."
"But I don't need her help for the time being, although this world is small, the metal it contains is probably enough for me to use for a long time."
"Come, Mrs. Riley, don't just look there, come and help."
At Merlin's call, Elsa stepped forward to help break through the ice, and she whispered:
"Hmm~ I like this title, just call me that in the future... I'm curious, though, Merlin, what are you going to call Carol if she comes back to Earth? Second Mrs. Riley? β
Merlin was a little frustrated by Elsa's quirky questions, and as he continued to extract metal from the shattered earth, he replied:
"Uh... You little clever ghost, you really asked me. β
"Well, I'll talk about it later."
