42. Sudden deterioration
Merlin had just sent Deadpool off when he heard the news that Xuanlan had sent from the Mystery House.
"It's a god."
Merlin complained to Icarus beside him:
"I just heard about Thanos from Deadpool, and it turned out that an alien sent news about Thanos and the Infinity Stones, maybe that madman was right."
Floating in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Merlin looked at the wasteland in front of him, and said:
"This is really a fate that I can't avoid..."
"Maybe those gambling dogs are still manipulating fate?"
The glasses lady pushed her glasses, and she said to Merlin:
"Maybe they're just claiming that they're no longer interfering, but in fact they're still interfering in the way things happen in this universe?"
"No, it's not."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he said:
"No, the stars are closed, and Oneiroi has confirmed this."
"Perhaps, it can only be said that in any event involving the Infinity Stones, Thanos is a link that can never be avoided, and to collect the Infinity Stones, he must also be defeated, there is no easier way to be opportunistic."
The glasses lady frowned, and after a moment she said to Merlin:
"So, you've made up your mind?"
"Organize a group of heroes to enter the Star Sea Expedition? Crushing Thanos and his legion to death in the stars? ”
Icarus's eyes flashed with streams of data, and she said:
"Follow that Abin. Sue's statement, now you, plus the heroes, and the Wisdom Legion, if you add the assistance of the Hell Legion, and then borrow the Time Gem from the Supreme Mage. ”
After taking all the factors into account, she came to a conclusion.
"You can defeat Thanos, even if he has another Infinity Stone in his hand, in terms of absolute strength, he is equal to you, if we can have Odin's help, we have 5 Heavenly Fathers on our side!"
"It's easy to beat him!"
The glasses girl's analysis was accurate, but Merlin shook her head.
He looked at the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him and said:
"But what's the use?"
"Now that you have defeated Thanos, you can only get a maximum of one Mind Gem, and there are 6 Infinity Stones! Without Sanos, we'd have to look for it ourselves. ”
"Icarus, our purpose is not to defeat him, our purpose is to get all the Infinity Stones from him, and even if we can, we don't need to fight..."
"If he is willing to accept it, I can return the Infinity Stones to him after igniting the cosmic furnace."
Merlin Says:
"Of course, I know he won't be that general, so the battle is still necessary, but only after Sanos collects more gems."
"He'll be stronger because of it."
Glasses Lady Says:
"According to the power of the Time Stone, once Thanos gets the 3 gems, he will be able to break through the monolithic universe. You're thinking well of using Thanos as a tool, but at that point, you won't be able to defeat him. ”
"You will even fail because of it and be defeated by him in turn! If left unchecked, it's risky, Merlin. ”
The Raven Lord nodded, and he said to the glasses lady:
"I know what you're talking about."
"But the problem is, I can't devote any more energy to Thanos on the other side of the galaxy, and we have urgent things to do."
"The Battle for the King of Hell, the Battle of the Ten Realms, the Battle for the Supreme Mage, and so on, these things are all imminent, and none of them will be easier than fighting Thanos."
Merlin's fingers danced in the air, and three orange-lit information trees appeared in front of Merlin's eyes, which were three plans for three things, and Merlin had completed those plans, or had completed the main body of the plan.
There's no way he's going to stop them because of a sudden situation.
"Let him collect the gems!"
The Raven Maharaja, with his hands behind his back, said:
"If all goes well, after Sanos gets the three gems, when he and I meet, I will also absorb a higher level of power."
"The gems scattered all over the stars will pass through his hands and send them to my hands."
Merlin's words made Icarus frown greatly.
Glasses Lady is a logical robot who can't understand where Merlin's confidence comes from.
Probably sensing the confusion of the glasses girl, Merlin raised his finger, and in the sliding of his finger in the air, a brightly colored comic appeared in front of Merlin's eyes.
"After reading these things, I will know Sanos as well as I know myself."
"But until he meets me, he'll still know nothing about me."
The Maharaja raised his five fingers and held them in the air, as if grasping the key to victory, and said:
"I hid in the shadows, looking at the whole situation in the dark, so that I could lay a trap and wait for the unsuspecting prey to step into it."
"Icarus, that's my strength, that's where my confidence comes from."
"These things..."
The glasses lady pointed to the comics floating in front of Merlin's eyes, she took one and opened it to look at it.
She said:
"Is this the 'cheating' tool that Deadpool Watcher brought back for you in the world? It's like you have countless keys to the future in your hands, and all you need to do is find the right door and open it. ”
"yes, a myriad of options."
Merlin didn't have much of a happy expression, and he said with some interest:
"Some even paradoxically, I'm like a shellfish picker on a dark beach, looking for possibilities in countless gravel areas. With so many choices that I don't know whether they are true or false all of a sudden, isn't it equivalent to having no choice? ”
"They can only be references."
Raven Maharaja picked up a comic book, and he said:
"If you follow these stories exactly, you're really killing yourself."
"So, what Deadpool brought back works very well, right?"
Glasses Lady Says:
"It can't be used as a means to win."
"Yes, but they're still useful."
Merlin floated back to his seat, his fingers tapping in the air, and many images of objects in comic form floated in the air.
Underneath the colorful images are detailed names, functions, and hiding locations.
The Raven Lord looked at the swirling images, and a twinkle flashed in his eyes, and he said:
"These cosmic wonders, at least we don't need to go to every corner of the stars one by one, to find them slowly, we can follow the map, saving us too much time."
"With all these things in place, I should be able to collect as much firewood as I can use to light the cosmic furnace."
"Wait!"
The glasses lady looked at the images suspended in the air, and she suddenly asked:
"In that information, there must be information about the hiding place of the Infinity Stones, if we had known in advance, we could have all those gems before they were found in Thanos..."
"No!"
Merlin looked up at Icarus, and he said:
"Nope! I need him to find it! ”
"Why?"
The glasses lady asked in surprise.
Merlin looked at her and didn't answer immediately, and after more than ten seconds, he said softly:
"There are rules that must be followed when ingesting these strange things, and I, I don't want to lose you, Carol, or anyone else because of this."
Icarus froze for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, a raven's hiss suddenly rang out in the throne room.
"Woohoo"
Merlin looked up and saw Victor, the spirit raven, flapping her wings and flying into the room.
The Maharaja raised his arm and let Victor land on his arm, the raven had a hedron in his hand, Merlin took it in his hand and crushed it.
The next moment, Merlin's expression became exciting.
"What's wrong?"
The glasses lady asked.
"News from Odin, the Frost Giants' coalition has gone to war against Asgard!"
Merlin tossed the crumbs in his hand to the trash can in his hand, and he said to Icarus:
"The Battle of the Ten Realms has begun."
At this, Merlin gave a long-awaited smile as he looked at the images of the strange objects suspended in the air in front of him.
He said:
"It's time for me to be part of it, and this time, I'm not just going to bring back Elsa's stupid girl, but the others... Booty! ”
"The Spear of Fate, the Chest of Winter, the Stone of Norn, the Eternal Fire."
In the throne room, Merlin held in his hands the images of the four strange objects that could be collected in the battle of the Ten Realms that had already begun, and he glanced at the plan tree that he had completed.
He said to Icarus:
"Get ready, Icarus, it's time to get down to business."
"Start... Save the universe! ”
———————————————
The World Tree Star Field, the edge of the world of Niforheim, a large-scale war has begun.
Seven Asgardian legions under the command of General Sif are arrayed in the mountainous plains of Niforheim, and the Asgardian warriors in golden armor, spears and heavy shields are fearless.
They and their fathers have been battling the Frost Giants for tens of thousands of years.
The grievances between two worlds and two races are no longer something that words can describe.
The soldiers were in high spirits, and outside the military formation, the rune wizards of the Great Rune Tower erected a huge barrier, enveloping the entire plain battlefield.
Beyond the golden barrier, a cold wave of frozen things had engulfed an entire mountain range, and in the chilly mist, the mighty frost giants roared, brandishing their weapons and defiantly at the soldiers of Asgard.
"At least 100,000 people!"
Sif on his horse, with a serious face, said to the elven leader of Niforheim beside him:
"The scope of this battle will extend beyond this plain, and even affect the cities behind the plain, your people must be moved immediately, and we will buy you time."
"Are you going to abandon our homeland?"
The elves of Jarforheim are very similar to the elves in fantasy stories, they have sharp ears, thin bodies, elegant conversations, and of course, they are not as beautiful as the elves in fantasy stories...
In reality, how can anyone be a race of beautiful and handsome guys?
"Don't the warriors of Asgard have the confidence to win?"
The elven leader tightened his grip on the reins of his horse, and he asked:
"We're willing to give everything, we can hold down all the legions, just here to stop these frost giants, maybe we can..."
"Don't be under any illusions."
Sif, holding the long sword at her waist, said in a cold voice:
"It's not just the Frost Giants who are attacking, the legions on the Muspelheim front have retreated, the minions of the Lord of Flames will also enter this world, and the dark elves..."
"We asked you to expel them hundreds of years ago, but you didn't want to..."
"Now the trouble is coming."
The general said helplessly:
"The Dark Elves are also a member of the Evil Alliance, and they are very aware of your defenses, and if you don't evacuate, you will have no last hope once a full-scale war begins."
"The most important thing is that Hela has returned, and if you die in this battle, your souls will not be able to return to the World Tree."
Sif Says:
"Go, get your people evacuated, the Rainbow Bridge will be opened if necessary, and lead you to Asgard, and my soldiers and I will buy you enough time."
"General! The Frost Giants are attacking! ”
A roar came from behind Sif and the female general looked up to see the cold wave rolling in front of the plain, and tens of thousands of barbarian frost giants roared and charged.
Charging with them were the frost brute they had domesticated.
Wild monsters weighing tens of thousands of tons, like hippos and rhinoceros, had frost giant riders ride behind them, driving them frantically towards the front of the heavily defended military formation.
It's all the same old tactic.
After so many years, the Frost Giants' offensive methods are still so simple, and of course, being able to use them for so long proves that this tactic is quite effective.
"Hurry up and arrange a retreat!"
Sif shouted to the elven leader beside him, and then gestured to the guards beside him.
The next moment, the sound of a low trumpet spread throughout the plain, and under the guidance of that trumpet, the soldiers of Asgard raised their spears and prepared for the onslaught.
"Expulsion!"
Sif raised her arm.
As a qualified general, she couldn't have allowed those brutes to rush over and destroy the general's array.
The rune wizards of the Great Rune Tower were ordered, and under the command of an old wizard, they began to activate the magic traps that had been placed in front of the formation.
The first brute roared and pounced, only to step on the trap.
In the glow of the rune of Rune, a ball of fire rose into the sky, and a huge amount of magic exploded, blasting the brute beast and the rider into pieces of flesh and blood.
But that's just the beginning.
The continuous traps were activated, and various magical attacks fell on the galloping brutes, and the old attack of the frost giants was easily defused.
At the end of these magic traps was the activated spatial spell, and the last dozen or so brute beasts that rushed out of the explosion zone with the traps were banished to the uncertain star field in the glow of teleportation.
Most of them become floating cosmic garbage the moment they enter the stars.
However, this kind of unpositioned circle has a big drawback, if the target of the circle is lucky, these traps will send them to some strange places.
Although the odds are only 1 in 10 million, there are always unlucky, or lucky guys, who have a small probability of encountering this event.
"Huh"
The light of the space jumped, like a door, lit up in a world far from the battlefield.
Perhaps it was getting closer and closer to the arrival of the celestial sphere, but in short, this teleportation trap had undergone an unexpected magical change.
In the bustling Manhattan neighborhood more than ten meters above the ground, between the cars and cars, a terrifying frost beast fell from the sky with a crazy aura, and its eyes were red.
It was smashed in the middle of that busy intersection.
Oh...
Now, it's a lot of fun!
