That night, Merlin was quietly left alone in his bedroom.He held a black magic book in his hand, the spells and mana models of Hoggs's Ancient Body had been memorized by Merlin, but he still read it again and again, hoping to find a glimmer of inspiration for this uninspirable super-level magic.Various analyses of this magic have been densely packed in a notebook, and the cumbersome, complex, illegible symbols and words are stacked together as if they were a complex academic study.Merlin sat at his desk, looking very carefully, but in his mind, there was more energy to be spent elsewhere than part of his energy studying spells.In New York City at night, Victor was flying silently with his wings outstretched, the Raven's Spirit maintaining a minimal level of activity, and at Merlin's command, the Spirit of Prey restrained all mental activity, making it on the verge of dissipating its perception like a cloud of energy fluttering in the wind.It flew aimlessly, literally waiting for orders.And on the lens in front of Merlin's eyes, some fast-flashing data was beating, it was the artificial intelligence Icarus monitoring 167 mutants living around New York at the same time.This monitoring has been going on for 2 days, and until now, Merlin has found nothing.But he wasn't in a hurry.He waited patiently for the guy who was preying on the mutants across the continent to strike again.Over the past few weeks, the ghost-like creature has looted more than 160 radical and neutral mutants right under the nose of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it's as if they've vanished from the world, a state of unsettling concern.The guy is mysterious and cautious, leaving no valuable clues at each crime scene, so Merlin must take the initiative.He had to track down the looted missing people as they happened, and for now, this was the only way to find the ghost.Of course, Merlin can also learn the name and information of the mastermind behind the scenes through the Dark God Book, but the parchment has been "weird" recently, and its demands have become more and more frivolous and confusing compared to before.If Merlin had consulted him again, it might have asked Merlin to do something even more excessive.What's more, Merlin had confirmed that behind the parchment pages, there was some other mysterious, elusive consciousness controlling it.Although the parchment repeatedly indicates that they are well-intentioned.But after all that has happened, Merlin is already sensitive to "goodwill" this time...
Look at him, a lot of his current troubles are caused by "goodwill".Merlin finally made a decision after much thought.If you can, try not to use it.A few minutes later, Merlin turned a page of the book, he picked up the glass of water in his hand, took a sip of ice water, he looked out the window at the calm night, and he said, "Is there any movement?"
”"Nope."
A gentle voice rang in Merlin's head, and he quickly responded to his question: "I'm monitoring every mutant on the entire East Coast, Agent Merlin, and so far, nothing special has happened. ”This is the voice of Professor Charles.When he learned from Merlin that there was a mysterious guy who had been kidnapping and plundering mutants, Professor Charles immediately said that it was his duty to use his huge mental power to help Merlin monitor the mutants on the East Coast.They are waiting for the rabbit, trying to find the mastermind behind the plundering of mutants."
I think you scared him, Professor."
Merlin put down the magic book in his hand, he walked to the window, reached out and pushed open the bedroom window, he said to the empty air in front of him: "He can kidnap so many mutants silently, he must also have a strong mind control ability, under the shroud of your will, it is unlikely that he will take the initiative to jump out." ”"It's a deterrent, Merlin, too."
Professor Charles replied mildly: "If this kind of surveillance can keep that villain from showing up, I am willing to keep it that way every night, and I don't want to see my fellow citizens hurt again." ”"But the truth is, you can't maintain 24-hour surveillance."
Merlin said to the professor, "You have limits, Professor, and once you start resting, then that bastard will definitely appear again."
We don't have time to play hide and seek with him.Professor, can you reduce the intensity of your mental scanning of mutants across the East Coast to the point where they won't be detected?
”"Yes."
Professor Charles replied, "But that's where I need to use a brainwave booster.With its help, I can control my brainwaves more finely and gently.Wait a minute, Merlin, it will take a little time for this machine to start. ”The Professor's psychic connection fell silent until a few minutes later, a clearer voice sounded in Merlin's head, as if it were a face-to-face conversation, and Merlin could even think of the Professor's face, which always had a gentle smile.He said to Merlin, "The brainwave booster has been activated, I'm expanding the search, please wait, Merlin." ”"I've heard some gossip that while you're sitting on a brainwave booster, you can easily find anyone in the world who is hidden, and you can easily kill anyone who can be found?"
Merlin said, "Is this true?
”"Yes."
The professor replied bluntly: "When I sit on the brainwave augmentation machine, Merlin, my consciousness and thinking will be extended almost infinitely, and my psychic power will be amplified, and I can sense all the intelligent beings in this world, their souls, wills, and emotions.As long as I want, I can mobilize a huge amount of psychic power to project into the will of a particular target. ”"That force would tear their will apart and make their brains die instantly when they bear such an impact.I can even modify their will and memories. ”"But you're not going to do it."
Merlin said, "If you wanted to do that, then you would have done it a long time ago." ”"Yes, I wouldn't do that."
The professor chuckled and said, "I've dedicated my life to showing the world that mutant abilities make the world better, not worse."
Everything I do in this life is to chase peace, whether it's between mutants and mutants, or between mutants and humans, this is what I pursue, and this is also mine...
Merlin!
I found him!
”The professor's voice became serious in the next moment, and he said to Merlin, "A strange will is operating in South Texas, a powerful mind controller, and there are several manipulated mutants around him, be careful." ”The professor projected a precise coordinate into Merlin's mind, and without hesitation, Merlin disappeared into the bedroom, and when he reappeared, he was already in the middle of the distorted light, and he was in the wilderness of South Texas, which was very close to Mexico, almost close to the border.Under Merlin's gaze, a tall, red shadow stood on the roaring and barren land.Just from its back, it is more than 3 meters tall, and its whole body is covered with a strange and hideous set of red armor, and on its shoulders there are two purple metal shoulder guards like curved spikes, which makes this guy look like a pair of evil wings from a distance.Beside this big, gloomy fellow, three manipulated mutants were half-kneeling there, as if they were worshipping their own kingdom.Merlin clearly saw in the air that the huge figure more than 3 meters tall stretched out his hand with sharp steel claws and touched the top of the head of a manipulated mutant, accompanied by a certain energy beat, the mutant's body began to twitch, as if it was suffering extreme pain."
He's absorbing the mutant's abilities...
He's changing his body, stopping him!
Merlin!
”The professor's voice rang out in Merlin's mind, and Merlin drew his vibranium sword and appeared at the marauder's side in a flash, his sharp sword whizzing out as he moved his wrist.There was a muffled "bell", and the vibranium sword Buster and the marauder's gauntlet collided together, and between the sparks, a huge force struck, and Merlin's entire person was blown away.His body flipped in the air for a week, then landed firmly on the ground.Merlin held his sword across his side, and he looked at the marauder in front of him, whose gauntlet had an extra scratch on his armour, but even with the strength and sharpness of vibranium, it still couldn't split the armor.Obviously, the armor itself is not ordinary metal."
Merlin.
Riley!
”The marauder shook his hand, he didn't stop plundering the controlled mutant abilities, the guy just stared at Merlin with an indifferent gaze, he wore a strange red helmet, the style was very similar to Magneto's helmet, and underneath that helmet was a face obscured by darkness, revealing only a pair of eyes that shone with a pale light.Moving the metal claw covering his other hand, he said to Merlin, "Don't stop me!
”"If you want to talk," Merlin said, "let go of the unfortunate ones first." ”"No, they are the root of all evil, and they must be cleaned up."
The guy who exuded the evil aura of a big villain all over his body said in a jerky voice: "You long for a new order, and so do I, radical ideas must be completely cleared before mutants can be reborn."
I was just...
I'm helping you accomplish this great cause. ”"You're just sinning, friend."
A black mist swirled around Merlin's body, and he said, "Don't give yourself any high-sounding reasons, I don't think we need your help...
Who are you?
”"I'm a...
Idealists who shouldn't have been born. ”The guy slowly tossed aside the guy in his hand who had been completely stripped of his mutant abilities and had changed his face and size, and he moved his shoulders and spread his hands out, a puff of pulsing green smoke lingering on his claws.That's a toxin..."
He's trying to infiltrate your spirit, be careful, Merlin!"
The professor's prompt sounded in Merlin's mind, and at the same time, a powerful psychic force struck Merlin like a mountain of seas, the latter's fingers slashed in the air, and the Seal of Kunin, which shone with a magical luster, was activated, and an invisible shield appeared on the surface of Merlin's body, and in the next moment, the two forces collided, and the Seal of Quinin instantly shattered like glass.But it also bought Merlin time.His figure dissipated in the black mist, and when he reappeared, the sharp blade stabbed down on the heart of the marauder thug in front of him, but the moment the blade touched him, the huge figure suddenly disappeared, as if teleporting, and his figure shone brightly, and appeared behind Merlin, the claws wrapped in green smoke, piercing Merlin's body fiercely.The green smoke and Merlin's smoke intertwined, causing Merlin to feel the paralysis and pain of the toxin entering his body, and his left hand emerged in the black mist, clinging to the red guy's chest.The explosion of compressed air accompanied by the explosion of Alder's Seal slammed into the creature's body like a cannonball, knocking his massive body back several steps.Merlin turned in the air, and in the midst of the black mist, his figure split into three, armed with a vibranium sword, an angry halberd, and a silver sword Vlad, attacking the red marauder from three directions.The professor's psychic power is no longer hidden, just like a dense psychic web, precisely netted on this guy's body."
Hah!
I don't care about you!
”The bound marauder roared, his sharp claws swinging through the air to tear open the invisible psychic bindings, Merlin heard the sound of two forces colliding, and the professor's cry of pain.The powerful marauder waved his hand, and a destructive white energy blasted into Merlin in front of him, but Merlin didn't dodge or dodge, allowing the energy to fall on him.The surface of the Kabai ring on the little finger of his left hand flashed, and this powerful energy attack was completely absorbed, and the energy stored in the Kabai ring also rose to more than half in an instant."
Bang, bang, bang" three weapons slashed at the marauder's body from three directions, the Shadow of Merlin, who held the Angry Halberd, was the most powerful, and with a single blow, the left half of the Marauder's armor was cut off, while the other two Shadow of Merlin's long swords intertwined, leaving deep scratches on the armor of the marauder's abdomen and neck, respectively."
Poof, poof" The marauder also sensed the danger, he roared and waved his claws, in the lightning-like energy package, his attack speed increased in vain, crushing the bodies of the three Merlin around him in an instant, and the jumping furious energy quickly dissipated, as if it had been absorbed again.But the real Merlin emerged in the darkness in front of him at this time, his left hand was gently attached to the back of this guy, and the moment the sharp Hidden Blade was ejected, the Kabai ring on Merlin's finger also flashed a dazzling light.The stored energy exploded at this moment, like the sharpest piercing blade, piercing through the scratches of the armor, and piercing the red creature's body from back to front."
AhhHe let out a roar of pain, and his form shone brightly, and quickly disappeared in place, and Merlin was about to pursue, when he saw the guy gather his hands in the sky above, and a dangerous cloud of energy gathered like a bomb, and then slammed down on the ground.Merlin's eyes narrowed, and his figure vanished, and the next moment it was wrapped in the unconscious mutants, and disappeared into a violent explosion like an earthquake caused by the energy mass.This battle, so far...
