28. As a torch

The Cosmic Furnace fulfilled its promises and Merlin.
At the cost of its own collapse, it forcibly led the flames in the core of the furnace out of the combustion chamber, helping Merlin ignite Cyber's body and complete an impossible extreme counterattack.
It has fulfilled its duties, and now it is time for Merlin to fulfill his oath.
The One is not worried about Merlin breaking the contract.
Ravens cannot break the contract.
He was thinking about letting the stars enter the real era. Now that the reshaping of reality has not been completed, and to restart the stars, the universe furnace must burn again.
Moreover, in the real world, without the support of the cosmic furnace, stars cannot operate.
So, Merlin must fulfill his promise!
He had to repair the damage to The One, and he had to restore the old furnace to a new level with the energy burning of firewood.
Only in this way can this star who finally won freedom exist for a longer time in the future era.
Just like a good car must have a perfect engine.
Therefore, when the Merlins were performing a bitter scene, The One did not urge it. It was like an old man, watching the quarrel between the couple in front of him.
It even finds it interesting.
"You think you are great, right?"
Carol no longer had the heroic appearance of being a superhero. She burst into tears, just like a delicate woman. She said to Merlin:
"You think it's worth sacrificing yourself for a star, right? Have you ever thought about me... what do you mean to them, what do you mean to me?"
"I have lost you once, and I can't bear to lose you the second time!"
The mistress pounced on Meilin's arms, and she held the raven tightly, and she screamed:
"I don't allow it!"
"I don't allow you to sacrifice yourself like this! You have done enough for us!"
Beside the two, Tony, who had just woken up, had a little sore nose.
Playboy has experienced too much, and now he still has to watch Merlin restart the stars at the expense of himself. This feeling of sitting on the verge of watching friends die but not stopping them is really bad.
He can no longer bear it.
And beside Tony, the girl with her waist on her back looked strange.
I didn't feel anything in the fierce battle just now. Now that I relaxed, Tunmei unexpectedly discovered that the cosmic tapeworm in her belly began to become unexpectedly active.
Perhaps because of the satiety level of 100%, it once again entered the active period.
And this time, the swallow girl feels very bad.
An inappropriate adjective.
Swallow girl feels like she is going to give birth by herself.
Well, it's a bit exaggerating to say that, but it's like a hen feeling about laying eggs.
She looked around and then whistled, quietly moved her footsteps, and hid quickly into the core of the universe furnace, although she looked like seeing how Merlin and Carroll's quarrel would end.
But it is too shameful for an unmarried mother to give birth to a child. How can other people see this?
“We have to do that.”
Merlin held Carol in his arms, and he persuaded in a gentle tone:
"My body will burn, my soul will burn, but that doesn't mean I will die, Carol, I just fade away the impurities and get reborn in the flames."
"I will truly blend with this star."
"I will disappear, but I will be everywhere, too."
Merlin stroked Carol's long hair, his voice softer.
He said:
"Think about it, my Carol, in the future, you will step into the park in the early morning and return home in the night..."
"I am the sunshine that shines on you, I am the breeze that blows on you, I am the earth that carries you, and I am the lawn that accompany you."
"Don't cry for me, Carol."
"I'm right by your side, I'll be by your side forever, I won't leave."
"Every time you look back, I'm there, you can see, you can feel, I'm there."
“No matter when, no matter where…”
Carol couldn't listen at all.
She held Meilin stubbornly, as if she was holding her last treasure, she said:
"I don't want those! I just want you, I just want you to be by my side... I want to be selfish once, let me be selfish once, okay? Please."
Merlin shook her head.
He pointed to the stars in the distance, and he said to Carol:
"Look at this starry sky, my lady, you have traveled in it countless times. You know how many creatures there are in this starry sky, they are all worthy of existence."
"We have fought all the way to make them exist, for a long time, those beautiful lights of life, those warriors who sacrificed for us, and those who are looking forward to good news."
"You know, those beautiful things, those that make people feel warm..."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he kissed Carol lightly on his forehead, saying:
"And Clark, Shazam and the others, you have the heart to let them sleep forever, so that Clark will never see his son growing up again, and that your beloved Riven and Lorna will never be resurrected."
"It's because of me..."
Merlin said:
"Do you think that forcing me to keep me like this will make me feel happy?"
"Let you and I live in pain and self-blame every day. Is this the future life you hope to live with me?"
Carol pursed his lips.
She knew Merlin better than anyone else, and she knew she could not refute it.
"good."
Merlin's voice was trembling, and this was extremely painful for him. He kissed Carol's hair for the last time, and he said:
"Please fulfill my morality, this is the path I must practice."
"My story is over. If it has to end, I hope you can put the last stop of my life... Remember?"
"I asked you to promise me something, and you agreed."
Merlin wiped Carol's tears with his hands, and he said with a smile:
"Sending me off with a smile, wishing me a good journey, and praying that we will meet again in the real warm world, okay?"
"Um."
Carol nodded with a sob.
She wanted to say something, but her throat choked and tears kept flowing down, making her unable to maintain her delicate expression.
This is an expression that rarely appears on her.
"Come on, everyone."
Merlin held Carol's hand and reached out to Elsa again. He nodded to everyone behind him. As their gaze, the three men slowly walked into the core of the furnace.
The moment he entered the furnace, Merlin looked back at Tony and said:
"Tony, don't forget to make that snap, bring the innocents back, and then, tell them for me that the era of suffering is over."
"The promised bright future has come!"
"Um!"
Tony stretched out his hand, clenched his fists, imitated the Asgardian posture, and pounded hard on his chest.
He said to Merlin in a hoarse voice:
"A good journey, Raven! It's a great honor...it's a great honor to be your friend and brother!"
"I'm also honored."
Merlin waved his hand to Tony and he took his wives into the furnace.
Outside the furnace, Qin curled her lips. She looked around and found that the pale-faced Tengmei was secretly giving Tony a baby from some unknown place.
Swallow girl said to Tony viciously:
"Take care for Him...Tony Stark, one day I will come and take Him back."
Tony looked at the baby in his arms blankly. The baby was able to open his eyes as soon as he was born, and he had big purple eyes that were exactly the same as Swallow's sister.
He looked at Tengmei and said:
"Uh, does he have a name?"
"No, I didn't get up."
Swallow girl looked at the door that slowly opened in front of her, leading to the stars, which was opened for her by her father and picked her up to leave.
She jumped into the door without looking back and left as if she was running away.
She shouted to Tony:
"Just call him 'Merlin', as a good friend to commemorate me, okay... See you later!"
The Phoenix Girl also took this opportunity to jump into the open door of stars. She no longer had any attachment to these stars, and she urgently hoped to see a new scenery.
Well, although the memory mark I prepared before was useless.
But if you think about it carefully, I didn’t suffer any losses. That experience was pretty good.
"bring it on."
In the combustion chamber of the cosmic furnace, Merlin stood among the warm embers. He reached out his hand, held Carol's cold hand, raised the silver-white lighter and pressed it to his heart.
He said to Carol, who was trembling in front of him:
"Don't be afraid, this won't hurt, I won't feel it hurt, don't be afraid, pull the trigger, I will only feel your love... Come on, Carol, draw the last stroke of my story."
"Come on, my lover."
"I..."
Carol's fingers were shaking very hard.
She looked at Meilin smiling in front of her with tears in her eyes. The raven was fearless. He was facing his upcoming death as if he was facing every morning in his life.
Ravens are not afraid of death.
Death Fear Raven...
"bring it on."
Meilin raised his head and spread his hands open. He closed his eyes slightly, and he said:
"A little bit of heat, a little bit of light."
"Just let fireflies dance their own light in the darkness without waiting for the torch."
Speaking of this, Merlin stopped.
His voice became louder, as if the performance of fate had finally reached its end, and he was about to complete the final chapter in the roar of thunder.
His voice resounded through the sky and echoed in the sea of ​​stars, like a declaration.
It's like my own evaluation.
Your own summary of yourself.
"If there is no torch fire again..."
"I burned myself and became the only light..."
"Ah, a beautiful new era, a beautiful reality, a beautiful world..."
"Raw...please!"
"Bang"
Carol turned his head and covered his mouth to prevent himself from crying. She pulled the trigger and a dazzling flame lit up from her hands.
The fire ignited on Merlin's body, just like the scene when the bodies of Terion and Cyber ​​were ignited.
Light.
Colorful light bursts out in the furnace.
It filled up in a covering manner, sweeping across the cracked furnace. The new force made The One, the old cosmic furnace, roar like a young man.
Seeing Merlin being engulfed by flames, the silver lighter in Carol's hand fell to the ground, and she collapsed on the ground.
Elsa, who was beside Carol, looked over her head. She could feel that the door leading to the stars was about to close, and that was her last chance to leave.
Miss Bloodstone looked at the flame in front of her and her lover in the flames. A stubborn light flashed in her eyes.
Amid Carol's scream, Elsa rushed into the burning furnace like a moth to a flame, and her body was also ignited at the moment of contact.
She also made the decision.
Just like the decision she made when she lost Merlin last time.
"This body, that hot heart, exists only for you..."
In the scorching flames, Elsa held Merlin with nostalgia. She could not feel her own burning, she could only feel a sense of peace in her heart.
Elsa's actions shocked Carol.
She staggered up, as if she was about to throw herself into the flames.
But it was stopped by Merlin in the fire.
The burning raven waved at Carol and pointed to her abdomen, Carol's footsteps stopped in place.
She stroked her flat belly and then raised her head, she shouted to Merlin:
"I will wait for you! Merlin!"
"I will wait for you! Before I grow old... I must come back!"
The blazing fire, like a curtain descending, separating the world from the deeper world. Merlin melted in the fire. He watched Carol's figure disappear and he sighed softly.
Elsa, who was also burning, held Merlin's arm and said to Merlin in dissatisfaction:
"You are so partial. Carol has children... I want them too!"
"Okay, if we can survive, I will definitely give you one."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The gorgeous light surged from the core of the furnace, and on the surface of the furnace of the universe, Tony holding the baby was gathered in the light.
The playboy could no longer help but feel excited and heroic in his heart. When he was the only one left, he knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Not sad.
Of course there is also sadness, but it is more of a kind of venting and a kind of release.
He has experienced too much.
He didn't know why he would survive in the end, not other braver people.
But Tony knew that there were more things he had to do for the rest of his life.
He wants to remember what happened today, he wants to spread these things and let more people know.
He wants to permanently engrave today's legend in the history of the earth and stars for people to spread and express their feelings.
He wants them to know that all the beauty that exists in the future is achieved through sacrifice.
In the warm light, Tony Stark, who was limping on the ground, raised his arm, and as the fingers of the simple infinite glove made of metal were sliding, the six gems burst out with the last ray of light.
"Come back!"
"In the beautiful new world, come back!"
"In the name of ravens! Ravens...please be welcome!!!"
Chapter completed!
