"For a long time, I thought that Thanos was crazy about slaughtering among the stars, just to please you."

Under the sunset of this unknown planet, Merlin carried his hands behind his back, feeling the warmth of the halo in the sky, and he said softly to the Lady of Death behind him:

"Like many people, I thought that Thanos was just a bewitched puppet who did countless evil things in the name of distorting love."

"I think he's a shallow guy, a guy who doesn't deserve too much attention."

"But it wasn't until he entered Earth and collected the six gems that I realized that I knew too little about Thanos."

"I'm the shallow one."

Merlin looked back at death, and said:

"He is indeed very attached to you and is willing to do everything for you, but he is so stubborn in chasing death, not just to satisfy the desires of his heart..."

"I guess what he really wants to do is no different from what I do."

"He wants to wipe out half of the stars, to bring the power of death to its peak, to shape for you the entity of the material world... Actually, it's also to fight against the 'outer gods' that are bound to come, right? ”

Death did not answer.

She was as cold as a sculpture covered in darkness, perhaps because she didn't bother to answer, or maybe she was such an indifferent woman herself.

"In some texts that only I can understand, I see Thanos' childhood experience."

Merlin looked at death, and he said:

"He was born with a strange attitude, feared and spurned by all his relatives, and at a young age, he dissected his mother with his own hands and killed all his relatives except for the star fox."

"It looked like madness, it looked like it was twisted by the will of death. But if you look at it the other way around, maybe it's the relief that Thanos gave to his relatives? ”

"He knew the truth about this group of stars when he was a child, and he didn't want to live in an illusory world, let alone let his relatives become the playthings of the outer gods, including himself."

"He's resisting, revolting in a slaughtering way."

"I can probably understand that kind of thinking, if the world is fake, then there is no point in distinguishing between protection and destruction, anyway, everything will end at a given moment."

The raven's voice grew deeper and deeper, and under the mask of death, the beating dead eyes shone slightly.

"You are guiding him, you are shaping him, you are driving everything today, and you are also creating the current result."

"Just as the outer gods played with my fate, you manipulated the fate of Thanos."

"I was crushed by suffering and truth, those fragmented pasts that shaped me now, and Thanos was also propelled by the cruel truth to get to where I am now."

"I think he should have no regrets when he died, he has already completed his revenge on the outer gods with his own hands, that is, you..."

"He made you, and you, you, you will do your best to fight against the outer gods, just like me."

Merlin held out his hand towards death, and he said:

"Join forces, then, ma'am."

"Your Excellency has chosen her own warrior, the Daughter of the Star Eater to stand with us, the Supreme God who represents 'existence', and the giant beast that represents 'need', the great power of this star has been united."

"Together, we can complete the expulsion of the outer gods! Together, we can win this war. ”

Merlin sends an invitation to the Lady of Death.

But the latter did not respond.

Raven's outstretched hand stopped in place, the scene looked slightly awkward, but Merlin didn't show any special expression, he was waiting for a response.

"I'm not like you."

Death finally responded.

She held her scythe in her hand, and with a swing of her wrist, it turned into a black, dying rose.

She went over Merlin and laid the rose beside the grave, and she said very calmly:

"All I do is to maintain the purity of the concept of 'death', and the power of the outer gods is hovering over the stars in the form of hoarfrost, and it is interfering with my existence."

"If I let it go, then whether it is you or the outer gods who light the furnace, in the next era, my existence will be replaced, which I cannot tolerate."

"I will not unite with you, I do not see the possibility of your victory."

Death turned and walked towards the darkness that swirled under the curtain of light of the whole world, and she said:

"But if you can trap that arrogant outer god, I don't mind bringing him real 'death'."

"Okay."

Raven shrugged his shoulders, and as he looked at the figure of death vanishing into the darkness, he asked in a loud voice:

"I'll make sure one last time."

"It's Tyrion that you're going to kill. Dawnblade, right? We'll give you a chance, friend. ”

"Whoosh"

The black arc of light rolled in, and the sharp, death-carrying blade stopped at Merlin's forehead without the slightest pause.

The blade of black light grazed the raven's skull and fell, and in the blink of an eye, Merlin's physical existence was completely destroyed.

Not even blood came out.

It's as if it's been erased on an existential level.

This represents a warning of death.

"We, not friends..."

In the midst of darkness, the Lady of Death with a scythe disappeared into this unknown planet surrounded by black crows.

After she left, Merlin, who was annihilated by the divine power of death, also "squeezed" out of the air little by little.

In the twilight wind, he touched his neck intact, and then glanced back at the grave of Thanos.

The black roses placed in front of the tomb spread out one by one in the wind, and the dancing petals burst like soap bubbles in the light, adding a desolation to the landscape.

"Okay."

Merlin straightened up, his hands in his trouser pockets, the scarf hanging from his neck swaying in the wind.

He said to the new tomb,

"Not friends... Women, sure enough, they are all cautious. ”

"Whoosh"

Another black light sliced through the space and stabbed at Merlin, as if to punish the ravens for their insulting words.

But at Merlin's chuckle, his figure suddenly disappeared in front of the grave, and the light of the death knife could not capture Merlin's whereabouts.

It eventually turned into a black feather of light and landed on the graveyard of Sanos.

The light that represented the power of death seeped into the earth, and after a few breaths, the world was as if it had been disintegrated, crumbling and decomposing little by little in the most beautiful sunset, like the form of the Infinity Gauntlet with a snap of its fingers.

Sanos is dead.

Just stop letting anyone else bother him.

"Buzz"

In an instant, the raven's figure crossed the edge of the stars and appeared in New York City as if it were at the end of the world, standing on the edge of a tall building in Hell's Kitchen and looking down.

Beneath the monument on Hell's Kitchen Pier, there is a steady stream of people mourning, sending bouquets of flowers, or burying their heads in tears.

Merlin looked at the figures, the emotions that flowed, the emotions that were invisible, but which he could really feel.

The hexagonal crystal on his forehead emitted a glow, the light that the Seven Deadly Sins sensed and ignited when they sensed negative emotions.

But Merlin didn't interfere with these emotions, nor did he try to manipulate them.

Although it only takes a touch of consciousness, the Raven Lord, who bears the Seven Deadly Sins, can bring the entire earth from sorrow to common hatred.

But he wasn't willing to do that.

If the last battle of the future is won and the world returns to normal, then this catastrophe will be enough to bring reflection and impact to the world, just as the Black Death drove the Renaissance.

This catastrophe will bring a new trend of thought to the earth's civilization.

This is correct, and it is inevitable.

If the final battle of the future is lost, the Void Age of the Stars will be destroyed in the burning flames.

Now, these people's mourning for the deceased will also become their mourning for themselves.

It was the end of the world, and no one could escape.

"Then cry."

Merlin looked at the mourning crowd below, and he whispered:

"When you can still cry, cry as much as you want."

"Yo, Merlin!"

A pretentious shout sounded behind Merlin, causing Merlin's calm mood to ripple again.

He turned his head and saw Uncle Deadpool climbing up from the wall, still wearing a red suit that had not changed for thousands of years, and carrying two knives on his back.

He rubbed his hands together like a fly, and ran quickly to Merlin, and said to Merlin:

"That's... I'm in a bit of trouble and would like to ask for your help. ”

Merlin glanced at him, and it was almost impossible to guess that Raven knew what Deadpool wanted him to help him do.

Raven Says:

"Death just killed my boyfriend, I'm in a bad mood, you'd better not bother her, don't ask for trouble."

"Huh?"

Deadpool's eyes blinked, and he said, half confused, half excited:

"Wouldn't that be better? Lonely little widow, alas..."

"You're hopeless, Wade."

Merlin shook his head, he really had a hard time understanding Deadpool's unique thinking, and said:

"If your wife knows, then you'll be finished, I heard that Xia Kela is pregnant, and at this time you run to find other women... Tsk, I don't want to help, and I don't want to get involved in your family mess. ”

"Once, just once."

Deadpool pleaded with Merlin exaggeratedly, saying:

"And Xia Kela is not pregnant, that's just a rumor..."

"She's been angry lately, and she's divorced me, and I'm almost annoyed! Do me a favor, Merlin, for the sake of how much I've helped you in the past. ”

"Here, give me a sword!"

Deadpool pointed to his heart, and he said:

"A sword is fine, I know you all hate me, and you want to kill me, isn't this a great opportunity for revenge, come on!"

Merlin was unmoved.

But Deadpool's pestering keeps him annoyed, and he tries to throw Deadpool to the bottom of the ocean with a phase move.

Who would have thought that just by raising his hand, a scorching flame would burst out of the air and hit Deadpool like an arrow.

The flames weren't violent, but the energy level was super high, and the moment it made contact, Deadpool was burned into a cloud of ashes without even letting out his trademark scream.

Of course, with Merlin's immortal curse, this guy won't die so easily, he will still heal himself, but that weird flame will slow his self-healing speed to the limit.

This guy now has time to seduce the death of his boyfriend who just died.

It's as he wanted.

Merlin could even hear Deadpool's smug whistle as he sank into the soul of the Death Kingdom.

"Wow"

Behind Merlin, in the unfolding flame gate, the phoenix girl, who had disappeared for some time, Qin. Grey strolled out of the flames.

She flicked her long, flaming hair and stood beside Merlin.

The fusion of her and the power of the phoenix is perfect, and every move she makes, in the air behind the piano, there will be an illusion like a phoenix spreading its wings.

"I... Make a decision. ”

Jean followed Merlin's gaze, and she looked at the people who were mourning in front of the memorial to the dead, and she said to Merlin:

"I don't want to be the executioner's knife, I don't want to just go with the flow, and I don't want to see the stars die because of me."

"I'm going to help you, Merlin."

Jean held out her hand to the raven, and she said:

"Defeat those abominable 'outer gods' together!"

"Really made up your mind?"

Merlin looked at Jean's outstretched hand, which he did not immediately hold, and said:

"You're not thinking about it anymore?"

"Let me tell you the truth, I don't have much confidence in this expulsion and resistance, I am simply going to die, you have a great future, even if you remain neutral, you can reap countless benefits in the next era."

"Besides, this world is fake, you already know the truth, why do you have to pay so much for the false world?"

"Hey! I'm here to help! ”

Jean stretched out her hand and pointed to Merlin's heart very dissatisfied, and she said:

"I was born in this world, I grew up in this world, I protected this world, and countless lives are looking forward to a thriving future as far as I can see."

"What does it matter if it's true or not?"

The phoenix woman stubbornly said:

"I think it's true, then it's true. Whether our world is alive or not, how can two outsiders judge? What if the stars were forged by them? ”

"The creator will destroy the world, do we really have to close our eyes and wait for death?"

"So, are you going to accept my help?"

In the face of Jean's questioning, Merlin did not answer immediately.

He looked into Jean's burning eyes, and after confirming that the Phoenix Girl had really made up her mind, Merlin smiled.

He reached out and shook the burning hand of the piano, and he said:

"So, Jean. Grey..."

"Welcome to the Alliance of the Dead."
