Icarus absorbed the energy left by the Emperor of the Universe in the Earth's core.

In the final confrontation, she strangled the remnant soul of the Emperor of the Universe, the self-proclaimed mechanical goddess Quintasha at the level of the data soul, by devouring and fusing her.

She uses the power of the Emperor of the Universe, coupled with the super authority granted to her by The One, to reshape the shattered planet Cybertron into the ninth continent on Earth while saving Earth.

In this process, the glasses girl herself also broke through the physical limitations of mechanical life.

Her life form was propelled into a realm that no robot had ever reached.

This supercontinent, made entirely of metal, is Icarus's current body, and her qualitative mechanical soul can emerge anywhere on this land.

This state is almost exactly the same as the form of the legendary creator Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Emperor of the Universe in the legend of the Cybertrons.

The only difference is that Icarus did not choose to cover the entire earth with metal, but constrained the area of the continent of Cybertron and let his body melt into the earth.

In other words, even if Icarus herself doesn't want to admit it, she is now a real "mechanical goddess".

"The Decepticons are annoyed and clamoring to build their own city on the other side of the continent, unwilling to share the land with the Cybertrons of the Bopai and threatening to wage a war of unification."

On the coastline of the continent of Cybertron, Icarus lies in Merlin's arms, like a loving couple, talking to each other in the sea breeze.

The little red queen played with her pet white lion Nemoa on the gentle beach not far away, and from time to time she would use some small explosives attached to her body to blow up fish in the seawater.

The spectacle lady of the spirit lay on Merlin's lap, and she talked about the trouble she was currently experiencing.

"That bastard robot doesn't really want to share this world peacefully with humans, it has been in the society of mechanical life, advocating aggressive thinking, and wants to spread the power of the Cybertrons from the mechanical continent to the human world."

"There has been a rush of mechanical life from the stars for the past two days, and the Cybertrons who have been exiled among the stars have made this their 'Promised Land'."

Icarus looked at Merlin and said:

"They also plan to build me a temple, although I have repeatedly stated that this is not necessary, I do not want to rule the land as a mechanical goddess, I have no interest in ruling them."

Merlin's fingers caressed Icarus' spirit skin as if they were in the light, but it did feel tangible.

It feels strange in the hand.

He said to Icarus:

"But you are indeed the sole successor of the Universe Emperor and the Origin Heavenly Venerable, and even 'The One' has given you supreme control over mechanical life."

"Whether you like it or not, you are already their ruler."

"It's like an amplified version of the Cult of the Mechanica, you're still the leader, and your orders are no mechanical life can resist."

"They see you as a mechanical god, as it should be, and it must be."

"Only if you are still on this continent can mechanical life be restrained, so that this newly stabilized world will not be destroyed by the war between two civilizations."

"It's an annoying feeling."

The glasses lady complained:

"I could feel every one of their commands, every flow of information in the data system, and I never knew that those Cybertrons could be so emotional."

"They even have for mechanical life, and in just a few days, those terrible movies have been all over the Robina forums, and even Hope has downloaded a few..."

"I don't want to stay here, Merlin."

Icarus looked up, and the spirit was wrapped around Merlin's waist like a beautiful snake, and she whispered in Merlin's ear:

"You must have a way, take me out of here, as before, I just want to serve you alone... All kinds of services~"

"Be serious, my daughter is watching."

Merlin quietly patted the spirit's buttocks.

Without looking back, Icarus could feel that while the little red queen was pretending to catch a fish, he was secretly expanding the scope of eavesdropping on his parents to his parents.

"Ahem"

The glasses lady coughed, and leaned against the stone beside Merlin in a way that was unique to spirits.

She rested her head on Merlin's shoulder, and she said:

"Is there really no way?"

"Nope."

The Raven Maharaja said helplessly:

"Your state is something I have never seen before, your soul is closely connected to this mechanical continent, and if you hastily withdraw it, it is likely to cause the collapse of the Cybertron continent."

"The most important thing is that the continental shelf of this continent is deep into the core of the earth, and the energy of the Emperor of the Universe is constantly interacting."

"If you lose control, those energies will get out of control, and the whole earth will gradually become metalized and mechanized."

Merlin reached out and flicked Icarus's nose, and he said:

"You don't want to see that future, do you?"

Icarus didn't answer, and judging from her expression, it was clear that she wasn't very willing to be trapped on the continent permanently, preferring to follow Merlin as before.

"Before I came, I read the Dark Divine Book."

Merlin pressed his cheek to Icarus' hair, and he said:

"Among them, I found a plan, the control authority of the mechanical continent can be transferred to the mechanical soul, you can try to establish a structure similar to the mechanical god cult on the mechanical continent, and send your authority out."

"After giving Xiaohong..."

"Our daughter, to the Scourge, Adam, Hope, and even the Shock."

Raven Says:

"Once your own authority has been weakened to a certain extent, I can try to transfer your spirit out."

"And once the ruling system is established, even without your suppression, under the containment of all forces, the Decepticons, who are now in decline, will not be able to start a full-scale war."

"At that point, you'll get the freedom you want. But until then, you'll need to take matters into your own hands and control the growth of the continent's mechanical life, so that it can enter a benign recovery process. ”

"Hmm."

When Icarus heard the solution, she immediately nodded, the process was bound to not be completed quickly, but with hope, it was easy to say anything.

The glasses lady was silent for a few seconds, and then she said to Merlin:

"But you're going to fight the 'Outer Gods' soon, it's the last battle, and I want to help you."

"You can help, Icarus."

Merlin let out a sigh of relief, he looked at the sky, and he said:

"You can do me a lot of help by staying on Earth, and besides, the so-called Outer Gods are coming, and only two guys will come, so there is no need to go to the main battlefield to face them."

"I'm ready, I'm going to entangle one of them, the rest of the guys are going to attack the other, and if we're lucky, maybe it's only a couple of hours and we'll be able to finish that fight."

"Huh?"

The glasses lady looked at her lover in surprise, and she said:

"Then why did you instruct Steve and Doom to mobilize so many heroes?"

"Judging from the information I've gathered, the heroes of the whole world have almost been mobilized, and I thought you were going to start an all-out war with them."

"They have their tasks."

Merlin Says:

"It's like you have your mission, it's really an all-out war, but it doesn't mean that every hero has to go head-to-head against the Outer Gods, that's unrealistic."

"Even if the life under the Heavenly Father is gone, it can only be sent to death in vain, even if it is the Heavenly Father, it is just cannon fodder for this war."

Merlin explained to the glassesman:

"They will support our operations in special ways, and neither will you."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Icarus didn't refute, like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law.

Merlin didn't say anything more, he was supposed to take Xiaohong to meet her mother today.

By the way, take a look at the peculiar composition of the Cybertron continent, this place must be the base camp of the mechanical civilization on Earth in the future.

In the Wasteland Prison, the Mechanics are ready to move as a whole, and the Robots are not going to abandon the wasteland, leaving a branch base there, which is a long-term consideration.

In the event of a crisis on the continent of Cybertron, the wasteland will become a retreat for a burgeoning mechanical civilization.

As for how mechanical civilization and human civilization should get along in the future, that is a matter between the two civilizations.

Merlin didn't intend to meddle, not to mention that it didn't make sense to talk about these things that were too far away until he repelled the Outer Gods and ignited the cosmic crucible.

"Thor will come and meet you in a few days."

In the evening, in the twilight of the sky, Merlin said goodbye to Icarus on the shore, and he looked at the glasses lady holding the little red hand, and he admonished:

"The final battle will also need some special combat materials, he will need the casting system of the Mechanicus Cult, and he will discuss the specific content with you in detail."

"yes, I see."

The spirit of the glasses lady ruffled her long blue hair, and in the sea breeze, she said softly to Merlin:

"Everything you need, I'll take care of it. Are you going home now? Say hello to Carol and them on my behalf, and I'd welcome them to my visit. ”

"No, I'm not going back yet."

Merlin waved open a blue door, and he said in a mocking tone:

"After spending some time with the goddess of machines, I'm going to meet another goddess... Don't get me wrong, she doesn't have a crush on me. But, maybe they will become friends in the future. ”

"Icarus is up to you, Icarus, take care of yourself."

"Take care of the world by the way."

"Buzz"

The moment Merlin stepped out of the portal, a black light greeted him.

There was a halo in the Raven Lord's eyes, and the slash that broke through the speed of light was as slow as a turtle in his gaze, it was a scythe that was cut off on the head.

Dotted with black skulls, there was a scream of resentful spirits that disturbed the mind wherever the blade went.

It is like the wind in the dark, coming quietly, but it has the power to cut everything apart.

When looking directly at the blade, Merlin had the feeling that he would die in the next second, it was not a sensory disorder, but a real threat, and the blade represented the judgment of death.

"Bell"

Judas jumped into his hand, Merlin's pupils turned blue, everything lost color in his eyes, and the whole world was left with black and white.

The two weapons collided lightly, and there was no force in their collision.

Like two people dancing close to each other, after a brisk interlacing, the flying scythe whistling flew back into the master's hand.

Judas was screaming.

A little painful, obviously, at the level of absolute power, this magic sword is no match for that scythe.

The faint blue glow in Merlin's eyes dissipated, and the world before him returned to color, a beautiful sunset, with a golden-red light shining on the foothills, and strange birds flying in the light.

Their chirping did not spoil the beautiful scenery, but added a touch of silence to the world under the setting sun.

In the awe-inspiring light, a woman in a black cloak stood in front of Merlin, at the edge of the cliff, with the scythe that nearly killed Merlin in her hand.

On her shoulder, there was also a black crow standing.

The shadow of the ground fused with the edge of her cloak, and it looked as if she had stepped out of the darkness and stood in the darkness forever.

In front of the lady was a humble cemetery.

It seemed to have just been covered with dirt, and behind the new soil was a rough scarecrow, and on top of that scarecrow was a set of smashed, blood-stained armor.

That's the armor of Sanos.

It was placed beside this new grave, and was illuminated by the peaceful twilight of this world, as if Thanos himself were standing in this light.

"You..."

Standing in front of the grave of the embodied death of the material world, she did not look back, but asked faintly:

"To send you to death?"

"No, I'm here to mourn."

Merlin put away the humming Judas, took a bouquet of white flowers out of the air, walked slowly to the new grave, and placed the flowers in his hand in front of the grave where there was even a tombstone.

He was very relaxed during the process, and didn't seem to be worried about death stabbing him in the back.

Lady Death didn't hate Merlin very much in her heart, and Raven knew this very well, otherwise she wouldn't be so easy to repel just now.

The embodied Lady of Death is an absolute monolithic universe, the ceiling of the power of the stars.

If she really wanted to kill Merlin, the ravens couldn't dodge it at this distance.

"In countless parallel worlds, in countless stories that have not yet happened, Thanos is always entangled with you, you are occasionally lovers, occasionally rivals, and even against each other."

Merlin squatted in front of the grave of Sanos, and he stretched out his hand to pluck the grass clippings that were waving in front of the grave, and he said:

"It's a shame that I haven't even met Thanos, in my original plan, I should have put an end to his illusions, and I even had the intention of inviting him to fight against the 'Outer Gods'."

"But a paranoid guy like him probably won't go with me."

Behind Merlin, the Lady of Death was silent.

Beneath the long hood, she wore a white skull mask, and in the eye sockets beneath the mask, there was a beating, dead light, and she was waiting for Merlin to say next.

"Wade has been looking for you."

Merlin patted the dust from his hands, he stood up, and said to death:

"Aren't you going to see him?"

"I'm not in the mood, I'm not interested."

Death said coldly, and she basked in the beautiful sunset with her sickle, and after a moment she said:

"Tell me, the purpose of your visit, the outer gods have noticed the change in the stars..."

"There's no more time to waste."
