At the bottom of Mona Island volcano, hot orange-red magma flows beside the rocks, rolling like a pool of orange-red water.

The temperature here has exceeded 1,000 degrees, which has long exceeded the deadliest temperature that the human body can withstand. There is no living life here. With the explosion of magma bubbles, the toxic gases that fill the high temperature fill every inch of the air in this life.

"clang"

Dr. Serizawa took out the small hammer in his hand and knocked on the object like a fossil in front of him, resulting in a sound similar to rocks and metals. Beside him, Merlin also reached out and touched the skin of the flame titan called Raton in front of him.

It was like touching a hot boulder.

The flame protection potion condensed a layer of cold air on Meilin's skin, helping him isolate the high temperature that can easily burn his limbs, and also allowing him and Dr. Serizawa to continue to survive in this environment filled with high temperatures and toxic gases.

"The body surface temperature is around 1200 degrees."

Dr. Serizawa took out a detector and placed it carefully on Raton's skin. He looked at the reading above and shouted to Merlin beside him:

"This is just the temperature exposed to the air. The body temperature of Raton buried in the magma will definitely be higher, which is amazing."

"Did you see this stone?"

Merlin responded:

"This is a volcanic stone solidified on its wings. This creature is very smart. It covers its body with this solid stone, forming a layer of geothermal armor. I dare say that its skin under the rock must have been vulcanized to allow it to withstand such high temperatures."

"This is an evolution that arises from natural evolution."

Shiro Serizawa raised his head and looked at the ancient giant creature embedded in the rock wall in front of him, he said:

"Raton should be active in the same era as Godzilla, they are both miracles that survived the disasters of the ancient century. Take a stone, Dr. Merlin, we will take it back for the carbon-14 test to determine its active period."

"good."

Merlin looked down at the watch that was already hot on his wrist, and turned around and shouted to Dr. Serizawa:

"The time is coming soon! We will stay for up to 5 minutes! Prepare to return!"

After saying that, he waved the pickaxe in his hand, and hit the surface of the giant beast covered with rocks in front of him, and took out a small piece of hot black stone and put it into the suitcase in Dr. Serizawa's hand.

Then, the two desperate guys returned to the channel of the observation laboratory just like when they came, one after another.

A few minutes later, as the closed door of the observation laboratory opened again, Dr. Serizawa, who was smiling, was hugged by Vivian who was waiting at the door before he could speak.

This young biologist was indeed frightened by his mentor's desperate behavior.

Merlin and Hill stood aside, looking at the posture of Vivian and Dr. Serizawa, although they had concealed it well, the feeling that was vague between the two, which transcends the relationship between the master and the disciple, could not be hidden from the people around them.

Yes, teachers and students are in love.

Dr. Serizawa is really good at playing.

"It's okay, Vivian, it's okay."

Dr. Serizawa didn't care about Dr. Merlin's eyes. He patted his disciples on the back to calm Vivian down.

At this time, Dr. Serizawa had an abnormal pale look on his face. He had just returned from the 1,000-degree hell, so he could naturally feel cool, but the problem was that the temperature on his body seemed to be a little too low.

Vivian hugged her mentor as if she was holding a piece of ice.

"What's going on?"

Vivian hurriedly brought the blanket and draped it on Dr. Serizawa, who was trembling with cold. While pouring hot tea for her supervisor, she looked at Meilin, who also emitted cold air on her body, and asked:

"Dr. Merlin, is this normal?"

"Um."

Merlin took the towel handed over by Hill and wiped the water droplets on his neck. He said to Vivian, who was full of worry:

"This is normal. Dr. Serizawa only needs to take a hot bath in a while and will recover completely."

"Dr. Merlin."

Shiro Serizawa looked at Merlin while wrapping his blanket:

"I have always wanted to ask, what exactly is the liquid you took out before? Why can it allow ordinary people to withstand fatal high temperatures up to 1,000 degrees?"

"Cooling agents achieve the effect of protecting high temperature by quickly reducing body surface temperature and temporarily paralyzing the temperature and nerves."

Merlin pulled open the chair and sat opposite Dr. Serizawa, and explained to the person in front of him:

"You can understand that after injecting this drug, you will not feel the temperature change in the next 15 minutes. At the same time, the temperature of the body surface is constantly decreasing and the surrounding hot temperature form a counteracting effect to ensure that the user will not be burned."

"This agent is born from some ancient and mysterious formulas. It will not cause harm to our bodies, provided that it cannot be injected too many times in a short period of time, otherwise the skin will be severely frostbite."

"This is so magical!"

Vivian said in surprise:

"Just some potions can make people's body temperature continue to drop, which is completely inconsistent with the laws of thermodynamics!"

“This question is a good question.”

Meilin smiled silently, he looked at Dr. Serizawa and said:

"If you can truly accept the authenticity of my research, you will not ask this question. Let me ask you, in the laws of thermodynamics, is there such a creature that can rely on a circulation system to continuously release cold energy that can freeze everything?"

"No."

Dr. Serizawa shook his head and said:

"According to the research of the Emperor Organization, even Godzilla's extremely magical atomic breathing ability is only because the organism is constantly undergoing reactions similar to nuclear fission. I have never heard of the kind of creature you mentioned that can freeze everything."

“It does exist.”

Merlin bounced the ice chips on his fingers and looked at Hill beside him, saying:

"Doris, explain it to them."

Agent Hill, who had done his homework, immediately coughed lightly, and her expression was as usual:

"In my recent years of research, Dr. Merlin and I have discovered that several species of organisms can ignore heat conduction and quickly reduce temperatures. They include, but are not limited to, Tibetan snowmen, Siberian Bigfoot, sea dragons in the Arctic Ocean, and ice fairies widely present in Nordics. Some substances extracted from these alien creatures also have the effect of rapid cooling."

"The cooling agent is made with the scales of the sea dragon as raw materials."

Merlin nodded to Hill with satisfaction, and he added:

"I used this potion to successfully find the juvenile lava worm that was active in Italy, but unfortunately, this potion can only resist high temperatures and cannot completely immune to the burns of the flames. Otherwise, I can go deep into the magma and explore more information about Laton."

"It's okay, it's enough."

Dr. Serizawa shook his head and said seriously to Merlin:

"Dr. Merlin, I know you are now employed by the World Security Council, but I still want to invite you to join the Imperial Organization. The heterogeneous knowledge you have is very, very important for advancing our research."

"this"

When Melin heard Dr. Serizawa's request, he felt relieved.

This means that he has once again won the trust of the Emperor Organization, and he is confident that he has come into contact with the real insider of the Emperor Organization.

Merlin and Hill looked at each other, and he thought for a few seconds and said to Dr. Serizawa:

"Personally, I am happy to join the Imperial Organization. After seeing Raton with my own eyes, I knew that your research could also promote my research. In theory, ancient titans like Raton are also considered to be the category of alien creatures, and they are predators in alien creatures that occupy the upper layer of the food chain."

Merlin showed a bitter expression, and he said:

"But even if I want to, SHIELD wouldn't let me leave so easily, so I mean, I can join your research as an extra-staff member or a non-service consultant, so that's good for both of us."

Merlin lowered her voice, he said:

"The World Security Council is eager to see the assessment report on the Imperial Organization. If I do join you, they will definitely force me to be the 'eye' they stayed in the Imperial Organization, which I don't want to see."

He tidied up his collar and said seriously:

"I am a pure researcher. All I am interested in is academic. I don't want political factors to interfere with my research. Please forgive me for my concerns, Dr. Serizawa."

"this"

Dr. Serizawa and Vivian looked at each other. They were willing to refuse the invitation because Dr. Merlin would not refuse, but he did not expect that he would be so decisive.

After a few minutes of silence between the two sides, Dr. Serizawa's face, which had slowly recovered from blood, also showed a smile, and he said to Merlin:

"Then I'm not going to force myself, but if Dr. Merlin wants to write a detailed evaluation report, in addition to Raton, I think you should also go to another observation laboratory of the Imperial Organization with us."

"oh?"

Merlin said in surprise:

"Did you track down another Titan in addition to Raton?"

“Yeah, yes.”

Dr. Serizawa said softly:

"It is called kong, on a hidden island in the South Pacific. But kong's situation is much more complicated than Laton. It does not continue to sleep like Laton. On the contrary, kong has been active since we discovered it, in fact, we have encountered difficulties in the study of Titan Kong."

"Kong is a larval titan similar to a monkey. Its sense of smell, vision and hearing are extremely developed, and it has a strong sense of territory. This makes our observation laboratory only build on the edge of Skull Island, and cannot send too many researchers to avoid angering Kong."

Shiro Serizawa looked at Meilin calmly and said:

“Kong is the most valuable sample of Titans we can find, so I want to invite you and me to go to the Skull Island Observatory tomorrow”

"Can."

Merlin didn't hesitate for too long, he nodded:

"I'll pack up now."

After saying that, Merlin took Hill and Dr. Serizawa to say goodbye, and then left the laboratory.

After watching them leave, Dr. Serizawa's assistant, student, and partner, Vivian Graham whispered:

"Doctor, do you really want to take Mr. Merlin and Ms. Dauris to Skull Island? Their real identities have not been confirmed yet."

"No, Vivian."

Dr. Serizawa shook his head, and he looked at the black volcanic stone that had been collected from Raton in front of him, and he said:

"Their identity is no longer important than the help Dr. Merlin can bring us."

"The research of the Imperial Organization has been stagnant for too long. Perhaps Dr. Merlin's arrival is an opportunity to help us better understand these ancient Titans, and this is the only way to go."

"Only we can find ways to coexist between humans and Titans faster."

"The King of Monsters Godzilla has appeared again, and the Titans' sleep will not last long."

It was midnight again, and Merlin walked in the laboratory, with flowing shadows covering his body, allowing him to escape the surveillance of the 24-hour monitor.

His dark perception told him that Dr. Serizawa, Vivian and Hill had all fallen asleep, and the staff on duty were also napping outside the laboratory.

This moment is the best time to explore.

Merlin stood in front of the gate leading to the observation laboratory. He looked left and right, and his body turned into a wisp of black smoke. Through the gaps that closed the door, he entered the scorching crater with a little difficulty.

The crater is covered with toxic black smoke, which is suitable for the plum tree to turn into black smoke to hide.

He reached out and pointed it on Carol's pendant. The blue mask that could supply oxygen in various environments covered the lower half of his face. Merlin stood on the edge of the scorching cliff, jumped, and then turned into darkness in the air, perfectly hiding in the scorching air of the volcano.

After taking Morris's power fragments, Merlin's black smoke also became hot. Although the temperature was not as exaggerated as the black smoke on the volcanic magma, at least he would not be hurt by the scorching high temperature.

He floated in the air and quickly approached Raton's upper body above the magma.

He followed the wings of the sleeping Titan and penetrated into Raton's closed body. Since his wide wings covered the surface of the body like cocoons, there was actually not much magma under the body of Raton's birds.

This allowed Merlin to accurately measure the figure of this bird Titan. He silently recited the numbers and information he recorded in his heart.

"Code name: Raton"

"It's about 150 feet tall, which is about 46 meters."

A few minutes later, Merlin measured the new numbers.

"The wingspan is 871 feet, 265.5 meters. Hell, this guy can stop two b-52s with one wing."

He floated in mid-air, stretched out his fingers and pointed them on the petrified skin of Raton. The dark perception extended his fingers, like a radar, penetrated into the solid and scorching boulder.

The real form of Raton was exposed little by little to Merlin's mind.

"Sure enough, the scales that vulcanized and covered the whole body, like the three-headed dog, the periosteal wings are similar to bats and Ye Qi, and most of the hollow bones are very similar to thunderbirds."

"When fully unfolded, it looks like an enlarged version of the pterosaur, sharp beak, horny crown, no feathers, two strong and powerful hind paws, and a triangular tail."

Merlin's dark perception continued with his fingers touching the rocks and swept around the surface of the sleeping Raton's body. He did not notice the magical fluctuations on the surface of the super giant monster's body.

This means that Raton cannot use magic

It is a real beast, not a magical creature that wizards think.

"it's a pity."

Merlin shook his head and took back his fingers. The information he had collected was enough.

At least in his perception, the Titan cast in the fire slept well and showed no sign of awakening in the short term.

But this is a good thing.

Merlin hovered in the air and looked at Raton who was integrated with the rocks in front of him. He knew that with Raton's terrifying body shape and wingspan, it did not need to use magic at all. As long as it took off, it could bring out the sound waves that destroyed the city, which was much stronger than the destructive power of all magic that Merlin knew.

"Keep sleeping, good baby Raton."

Merlin slapped Raton's huge head, saying:
Chapter completed!
