A creeping world.
It was an asteroid-like planet.
A lonely planet floating among dead stars, without any complete celestial bodies around it, everywhere is full of broken planets, those gravels, those rings, and a sun that is about to be extinguished.
Merlin saw this strange world in his consciousness.
He didn't know what force projected this picture into his consciousness, but there was no doubt that this thing must be related to the strange, black mud-like thing he brought out before.
In front of him, the surface of the wriggling world was covered with exactly the same black mud, like a ball of football wrapped in liquid, and countless black mud rolled on the surface of the world.
It feels both disgusting and terrifying.
Icarus is right, that organic matter can change its shapes freely and even cover a world
"What the hell are you?"
Merlin tried to manipulate his consciousness to leave this projection, but he couldn't.
He could only let his consciousness approach the covered world quickly. He could feel that his consciousness had traveled through the disgusting things covered outside the world, as if he had been sunk into a swamp. The cold and smoothness like snake scales made Meilin feel very uncomfortable.
But to his surprise, after passing through the covered black mud, he entered a strange world.
There is no sky, no earth.
There is only a vast and endless space, this is not a covered world at all
This is a ball of black mud, an extremely huge internal space with no support points at all. They gather together and hang in dead stars, like an ant ball when encountering a flood.
In front of Merlin, endless organic life is entangled together, like a super-large spider web.
Various organic lives of red, black, white, blue, and green are entangled together. From a distance, they look like a giant snake pit. Among the disgusting mucus and spider silk residues, these strange lives are like unconscious squirming, maintaining the distant transformation of this "planet".
Merlin's consciousness is wandering in this huge space. When you first see it, such a scene will make people feel fear and extremely dense fear. But the whole world is like this, and it doesn't matter if you see it too much.
His consciousness was quickly pulled towards the center of the world
There was some east calling him.
I don't know if it was good intentions or bad intentions, but Merlin prefers the latter.
Soon, he saw a black stone throne hovering at the center of the world composed of countless organic life.
That is the only entity in this world besides these creeping organic life.
And on the throne, a thin, distorted guy was sitting on it, and Merlin couldn't see its face clearly, which was covered with squirming liquid.
It was wearing a black and red robe, and its long scattered white hair was scattered on his thin shoulders.
Merlin had never seen such a guy, but there was no doubt that even in a state of no resurrection and death, this unknown existence still exuded an ancient and evil aura.
Well, such an appearance ceremony doesn’t look like a decent and good person no matter how you look.
Merlin's consciousness circled around the throne, and he soon discovered something strange.
These creeping organic lives in this world do not seem to be protecting this strange existence, they are binding it, although the actions of these liquids are irregular, each of them seems to have a trace of power, implicated on the black stone throne, and the "silk threads" are wrapped one by one on the throne and the body of the ancient life.
Each of them is very thin and invisible, but the power of the entire world's crawling life is enough to tightly bind this throne to the core of this crawling world.
This ancient life is sealed here along with its throne.
This world is its cage.
but
Who is it?
With this question, Merlin's consciousness returned to the front of the throne. However, the moment he raised his head, Merlin's consciousness was as if struck by lightning, and was stunned.
The sealed ancient life covered with various wriggling organic matter, and at some point, its left eye on its face had been opened.
He was staring at Merlin in front of him without any anger.
The black and red eyes had no pupils, no consciousness, no thinking, and were like a body with nothing inside, calling for the return of its consciousness.
"forward"
A voice sounded in Merlin's consciousness.
“Touch it”
"Take me back"
"Who are you?"
Merlin asked back.
The voice in his consciousness was very weak, as if he was seriously injured. In the face of Merlin's rhetoric, it said in a voice mixed with calmness and disdain:
"My name is Nar, I am the god of all symbiotic bodies, the god of the abyss, the god of the gods!"
"Oh, then you're so awesome."
Merlin's consciousness said:
"But I'm very confused. Who is more evil, you or Sanguchi?"
"Three Palaces?"
Nar's weak voice was filled with a hint of doubt, and he asked:
"Who is that?"
"You don't recognize it?"
Merlin whispered:
"It's okay, you'll get to know each other soon."
"Wow"
The next moment, Merlin was stripped of the shackles on the body of consciousness and completely collapsed due to the separation of consciousness. The evil power originating from the Three Palaces exploded in Merlin's body.
He almost immediately entered the semi-demon form, and the scorching hell fire began to burn on his twisted body.
At this time, most of Meilin's body was covered by the black twisted symbiosis, as if the whole person was pulled into the turbid quagmire.
But the hell fire that erupted from the inside of the body, when it touched the symbiosis, the black mud seemed to have encountered a natural enemy. They screamed and escaped from Merlin's body and retreated quickly, but the flames when the half-demon transformed were completely covered, and the black mud was inseparable from the black mud.
When the black mud-like symbiosis was forced back by the flames, Meilin's hostage consciousness quickly returned to his body.
His consciousness was getting farther and farther away from the throne that sealed the body of the god of the abyss, Nal, and the voice that belonged to Nal in his consciousness became weaker and weaker, until finally, completely disappeared.
But it also leaves something and some memory and knowledge about symbiosis.
"Mr. Merlin?"
Icarus's voice reappeared in Merlin's ears, who coughed, re-controlled the power of the thunder in his body and returned to human form.
He said to Icarus:
"What happened just now?"
"That black organic matter, which tried to infect your body at a rapid speed. I tried electric shock and energy shock, but neither worked, and your consciousness seemed to be temporarily stripped away, and I could not awaken you."
Icarus said truthfully:
"Until 3 seconds ago, the power in your body suddenly lost control, and the ignited flame easily forced the entangled black organic matter to retreat. It seemed that the flame was its weakness."
"This thing is called a symbiosis."
Merlin rubbed his forehead and examined the knowledge remaining in his mind.
He was sure that it was certainly unfair to leave this message when Nar's consciousness faded in his will, but that did not prevent Merlin from using it.
Merlin looked at the squirming black mud curled up at his feet, burning only the size of his palms. He squatted down, pushed his glasses, and said to Icarus:
"In this symbiosis, a very dangerous consciousness is parasitized. It calls itself the god of the abyss, but it is very weak, and in the collision with the magic power of the Three Palaces, it is obviously at an absolute disadvantage."
Merlin stretched out his finger and touched the trembling symbiosis beneath his feet, burning by the fire of hell, and he said:
"Look, it was hurt and could no longer bear the consciousness of Nar. At least it was like this on the surface."
"But it's still dangerous, Mr. Merlin."
Icarus warned:
"I saw the scene where it just eroded your body, and there was no doubt that it was full of aggressiveness."
"No, no."
Merlin shook his head and corrected Icarus's statement. He stretched out his two fingers and pinched the trembling symbiosis and put it in the palm of his hand. He said:
"The symbiosis is essentially a parasite, it is unconscious and does not matter whether it is good or evil. It will only give birth to wisdom when it is accompanied by the host. This little guy is harmless and can be used."
"Icarus still does not recommend Mr. Merlin to use this unknown commensal rashly."
Icarus said in a serious voice:
"Once the consciousness within it is not completely eliminated, it is likely to cause some subtle trouble to Mr. Merlin."
“Isn’t that better?”
Merlin stared at the symbiosis in his hand and said:
"Doesn't that mean that if Sannomiya wants me, he has to fight with this mysterious Mr. Nal first? Well, I suddenly understand the dead Constantine now."
"This method of balancing between the big guys is still quite interesting occasionally."
"bring it on."
Merlin's timid symbiosis said:
"bring it on."
The symbiosis felt the call of Merlin. It tried to cover Merlin's palms and was not attacked by the terrifying hellfire. So it understood Merlin's meaning and began to cover Merlin's clothes quickly. Soon, a long black windbreaker appeared outside Merlin's clothes.
The appearance of this symbiosis was very, very real. Meilin stroked the windbreaker on her body and found that the material was almost exactly the same as the fabric.
"Not bad, it's quite interesting."
Merlin closed her eyes and felt the ignorant consciousness that the symbiosis echoed in her own thinking.
This is the first time this symbiosis has been accompanied by real life. It has not evolved its own wisdom, like a baby.
It could understand Merlin's thoughts. As Merlin's will changed, the symbiont quickly covered Merlin's hair and cheeks. A moment later, a crow mask like the one worn by the plague doctors in the Middle Ages appeared on Merlin's face.
The sharp black bird's beak mask covered Merlin's entire face and his eyes with black lenses, making Merlin look full of a dark and gloomy temperament.
"Actually, I need another identity, too."
Merlin touched the mask on his face, nodded with satisfaction, and then whispered to the symbiosis in his consciousness:
"Mr. Nar, I guess, you are still hiding in this symbiosis."
"I'll say hello to you. I mean, you must not let me down when you meet the third palace next time."
Merlin took a step forward, and the crow mask on his face disappeared quickly. The symbiosis obediently returned to the long windbreaker according to Merlin's intention.
Merlin thought about it and said to the very ignorant symbiosis:
"It is said that Beowulf defeated the dragon, and he and Thor defeated the symbiotic dragon of your mother, so I'll call you."
"Beowulf."
"Oh, Beowulf, I hope you are not seasick"
"Swish"
Merlin pushed his glasses, and as the movement spell beat, he returned to his home in New York the next moment.
Gugu was still sleeping on the steps just like before.
Meilin looked at the cat master in front of him. He walked forward with some headache and tried to pick up Gugu. But when he approached Gugu, the Yuan-Devouring Beast suddenly opened his eyes. It turned his head and looked at Meilin. There was a hint of confusion in its eyes.
Gugu stretched out his claws, preventing Merlin from touching it.
Its nose twitched, sniffed on Merlin, and soon it confirmed where the weird smell came from.
"Meow!"
Gugu made a sharp scream that only came when he preyed. It opened its mouth, and a few dark red tentacles with terrifying barbs were about to pop out, eating the dangerous symbiosis attached to Merlin.
There is no doubt that this is Lord Gugu, protecting his weak follower Meilin.
Gugu's actions frightened Beowulf, the still weak symbiosis, so much that he escaped from Merlin's body. He fell into the ground in constant wriggling, forming a black ball, lying there trembling.
"Okay, Gugu."
Meilin held Gugu in his arms, and he stroked Gugu's hair to calm Gugu.
He pointed to the trembling symbiosis on the ground and said to Gugu:
"It's my new armor that can't be eaten, do you understand?"
"Meow?"
Gugu stared at Merlin, and it made a puzzled nasal sound, as if asking why Merlin came back with such a dangerous thing.
Merlin patted its head and said to Gugu:
"I'm useful, don't eat it anyway, okay?"
"Meow!"
Seeing his follower Merlin praying, Lord Gugu shook his tail and looked at the shaking symbiote Beowulf on the ground, which nodded reluctantly.
Given that Merlin prepares food for it every day, cleans the cat's nest and cleans up the excrement, he promises him this not excessive request.
