25. Silent farewell
"It's not your fault, Qin."
In the desperate spiritual world, Merlin walked into Qin's last hiding place.
The darkness in the room was like a real living creature, twisting its indescribable body. The cold darkness wrapped the coldness around the moment Merlin stepped into it.
It's like a greedy giant python finding its prey.
"It's not your fault."
Merlin didn't care about the cold darkness.
Although many abilities cannot be used in the soul state, he is a great wizard after all, and the top spell caster in the real world. His soul is even more unique than ordinary people.
Even in the state of soul, he is not without self-protection.
Those forces originating from darkness intertwined and entangled in Merlin's body, but they could never penetrate into the spirit body.
It's like water wrapped in steel that can't penetrate inward at all.
He squatted down and looked at Qin's painful eyes. He reached out to touch Qin's scattered hair, and he said:
"It was my fault."
"I clearly promised you to protect Summers, but I didn't...I failed to fulfill my promise, and my failure also left all your efforts in wasted. It was my fault."
"Don't blame yourself too much."
Merlin sighed and said:
"I thought I could protect everyone, but it turned out that I couldn't..."
"I overestimated my strength, I underestimated the difficulty of this matter, so the world punished me in this way. In fact, I think I am the source of disaster."
"If it weren't for me, you and Summers wouldn't have encountered all this."
"You're a real good guy, Mr. Merlin."
Qin raised her head and looked at Mei Lin in front of her. A difficult smile appeared on her pale, bloodless face. She said:
"And just like what Riana said, you always like to carry all your mistakes on yourself..."
"This obviously has nothing to do with you, it's obviously just because I'm too cowardly."
"I am so cowardly that I need a pillar to persevere, and my cowardly needs support from others to live my own life."
Qin lowered her head and she sighed:
"I should have ended myself at the beginning. If I had died at that time, Summers would not have been involved in this matter again... You don't need to fight her anymore."
"I'm too weak, I'm hurting him."
Qin's eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and she reached out to wipe her eyes.
She raised her head and tried hard to smile at Merlin, she said:
"You are here to say goodbye to me, right? Mr. Merlin."
"It's all over, whether it's pain or despair, it's all over, right?"
Merlin didn't answer, but silence represented everything.
The power of the phoenix has been out of control, and a personality full of malicious intentions towards the world is forming, and the effort to merge the power of the zither and the power of the phoenix has completely failed.
She and Merlin knew very well that she could no longer survive.
She may...
I don't want to live in such a painful life anymore.
For a broken soul, death may be the real liberation.
Qin said it well.
Merlin is here to say goodbye to her.
Farewell if we never meet again...
Only when Qin dies completely will the personality of the Black Phoenix be erased, and the power of the Phoenix that has lost its host will return to the place where it was born.
A disaster will be eliminated.
But it is at the sacrifice of an innocent person.
"Don't show that expression, Mr. Merlin."
At this moment of farewell, Qin seemed to be ready, but she became relaxed instead.
She stretched out her fingers, like a little girl, stayed on Merlin's cheek, trying hard to outline a smile for Merlin.
It's like a crying smile.
Full of bitterness.
"It's a good thing for me and that world."
In the gloomy darkness, Qin said to Merlin:
"You should say goodbye to me with a smile, alas... I finally let down the expectations of Cialia and Elsa. Remember to say sorry to them for me."
"And Riana, I ruined her beautiful castle..."
"And Xuanlan, I want to thank her for her care during that period..."
"And Clark and Thor, they saved me, but I didn't say thank you in person. It's so rude."
"There is you in the end, Mr. Merlin."
Qin stood up with difficulty and looked out of the room.
In the sky of the collapsed world, the phoenix mixed with flames and shadows was hissing. It had a premonition of a strong threat and was flying towards it.
But Qin's face was not afraid...
She had lost everything she cherished, and she no longer cared about how terrifying the shadow that was born in her body.
She has chosen to face death directly, and all threats and intimidation are useless.
"You could have given up on mine."
Qin said to Meilin who was standing beside her:
"Your duties, your mission, and your work do not allow you to allow a threatening factor to continue to exist, and you have enough reason to give up on me."
"But you don't...you have hope for me, you help me find hope."
"You are trying to help me, and I can feel that kind of warm kindness is so warm that it is not like the decision that a cold agent leader should make..."
Qin's face showed a strange smile, she gently grabbed Meilin's hand, and she said:
"I finally know why Elsa loves you so much."
"You are a gentle person who loves the world. Whenever we stand by you, we feel extremely at ease..."
"You are like a lighthouse standing in darkness, telling us that there is not only darkness in this world."
As the house in this hiding place collapsed silently, Qin whispered:
"If I hadn't met Summers, I might have fallen in love with you, Mr. Merlin."
"This is a good thing..."
Merlin replied softly:
"Believe me, this is a good thing, falling in love with me means trouble...I have the ability to bring bad luck to all those I care about."
"The harder I try to protect them, the worse they get hurt."
"Ao"
The dark phoenix roared and rushed towards Merlin and Qin who were exposed in the ruined world. Behind the spirit that was as hot as the dark sun, everything was dying and annihilated.
The spiritual world filled with ruins is collapsing.
Qin is trying hard to gather the spiritual power that she can still control.
The girl was ready to say goodbye to the world, but she knew that she had a last task to do.
The hot power burst out from the piano's body, just like the real revival of the phoenix.
She once established a connection with the power of the Phoenix. Even now that she has collapsed, she can still steal some power from the Dark Phoenix.
The force was burning Merlin's hand, but instead of letting go of Qin's fingers, he clamped it tighter.
He couldn't save this poor man.
He can at least accompany her to the end of his life.
This is a funeral...
There must be a fareweller.
"I thought I had eliminated the bad luck of being plagued, and I thought I could return to a normal life."
Merlin looked at the dark phoenix that was pounced down from the sky and said softly:
“But no.”
"That kind of bad luck is just a different way, just like other pasts, just so hidden in my body. It makes everything twisted, it makes everything bumpy, it makes the world full of malice."
"Those disasters happen for all kinds of reasons, but I know that there is only one reason for them, and that is me..."
"So you've had a hard time, too."
Qin beside him listened quietly to Merlin's words, and she said:
"Are you longing for relief, too? Merlin."
"This is a curse...piano."
Merlin passed the power in his soul to the Qin who was shining around him. In this world shrouded in haze, the Qin seemed to have turned into the last ray of shining light.
"Yes."
Merlin became weak, and he whispered:
“I’m longing for relief too.”
“You deserve a better future…”
Qin, who was surrounded by light, tiptoed and kissed Meilin gently on her cheek, she said:
"Thank you for everything you have done for me, thank you for accompanying me to this day, thank you for coming to say goodbye to me."
"But now, it's time for you to leave..."
"goodbye."
"Merlin Riley..."
"Wow"
Merlin's soul was sent out of the spiritual world of the piano like broken glass.
At the moment when the world was closed, Merlin saw...
Light.
Dancing light.
Rising from the ruins.
Just like the dawn of the end.
The light shines on everything, bravely colliding with the dark phoenix.
Meilin heard Qin's angry shout, he heard the painful hiss of the dark phoenix, and he heard the overwhelmed moans of the spiritual world.
He was like being furious.
In the scattered light, his soul seemed to be in the furnace of all things at this moment.
In the pain that burned all the money, Merlin looked at the world filled with light for the last time in front of her.
He whispered:
"goodbye."
"The daughter of the Phoenix, Qin. Grey..."
"Wow"
The weak soul returned to his body at this moment, and Merlin, who was protected by Sharon, 76 and the god of death, opened his eyes.
He opened his mouth and squirted out a mouthful of extremely high temperature blood.
The soul was reflected on the body by the burns of the phoenix fire, causing the magic power in Merlin to appear strongly disordered at this moment... How long has it been since he suffered such severe injuries?
Even when facing the crazy attack, he was never so embarrassed.
But compared to the loss in the mind, the pain in the body is not worth mentioning.
Merlin stood up with Sharon's support. He called the Blood Jade Cane to support his body. While sorting out the magic power in his body, he looked up at the end of the sea in the distance.
There, thunder and scorching flames meet in the sky, just like angry gods fighting.
"The Iron Man just rushed over."
Sharon was also looking at the battlefield where she could not intervene, and she said to Merlin:
"He brought over a special set of armor, which is said to be specially made to restrain energy attacks."
"Yeah?"
Meilin reached out to wipe the blood stains on the corner of his mouth, and he sensed the extremely unstable spatial force on the sea.
On the other side of the coastline, the energies arranged by the wizards near New York have been activated.
From a distance, it looks like a large glowing cover covered by the edge of the city, and there are dancing energy sparks leaping.
"It's time to end, it's all."
Merlin turned his head and said to the three demon hunting agents behind him:
"You go and find Colson... recall all the demon hunting agents of s.d.o.l.d, and suspend all the work in their hands!"
"From now on, you only have one mission..."
"Finish the clown!"
"Kill him!"
"Swish"
Merlin's figure disappeared on the beach of the scorching pit. In the shining of the shape-shifting spell, he appeared on the battlefield deep in the sea.
The moment Merlin appeared, he subconsciously raised his head.
He saw the bald Superman wrapped in scorching energy tearing apart the clouds and falling from the sky.
Clark completed the enhancement of the sun, and energy from the pure sun filled every cell of his body, howling and letting the bald Superman burst out with terrifying powers that he had never shown before.
Just like a golden meteor crossing the sky, the terrifying speed and power made the black phoenix, who was fighting with Thor, feel the threat.
She has been weakened too much.
In the spiritual world, Qin sacrificed herself to purify the phoenix polluted by negative forces, which greatly reduced the power that the black phoenix could absorb from the phoenix's power.
She is no longer as strong as before.
But the annihilation power controlled by her is still dangerous and is still madly devouring the foundation of the real world, in order to transform it into a power that can be squandered by the black phoenix.
She is trying to pollute the power of the Phoenix again.
"Buzz"
The pale face of Merlin waved his wrist, and shadow-like illusions emerged layer by layer in the air.
Between the flow of light and shadow in the form of Ecken, 10 Merlins flashed into the sky around the black phoenix.
They raised their hands neatly, and the huge magic power as huge as the sea stormed out, turning into dark red magic chains, and bound the black phoenix who was trying to tear the space to avoid Superman's heavy punch from all directions.
"Eat me a punch!"
In the golden light flowing like the sun, Clark's fist condensed all his will and all his power.
This most terrifying punch since Superman was born torn apart the shackles of energy, tore the annihilation storm, and tore the bursting phoenix fire, hitting the black phoenix's abdomen in the roar of thunder.
"boom"
The terrifying aftermath of energy was like a golden halo, spreading in all directions with the black phoenix as the center.
Meilin vaguely heard a faint sound of brokenness...
He looked at the Black Phoenix incredibly.
In the spiritual vision, he could see that the phoenix power entrenched in the body of the black phoenix actually showed crack-like marks under Clark's fatal punch.
"Thunder!"
Seeing the Black Phoenix suffer severe damage, Thor, who was covered in scars on his body, did not waste this opportunity.
He raised the Thunder hammer in the air, summoning dazzling lightning, and the light jumping like a spider web blessed Thor's body, making an elongated arc in his eyes.
He held the hammer in both hands, and in the roar of thunder, he hit the body of the black phoenix.
"Click"
Between the millions of thunders, the crack of the phoenix's power expanded again.
"Click, click"
The sound of machinery appeared under the sea. With the help of the captain, Tony, wearing a set of weird-looking golden armor, made a slightly more difficult move to form a heavier destruction cannon.
This genius designed this set of armor was designed for high-energy combat.
Eliminate all unnecessary functions and strengthen energy absorption and defense to the strongest.
"I don't usually hit women..."
Playboy Tony aimed at the dark phoenix wrapped in lightning in the sky with the help of the captain, and he whispered:
"But this time it's an exception!"
"boom"
The last ray of light shone directly into the sky from the sea.
After exhausting all the energy of the Ark reactor at one time and bursting out the energy drawn from the battle just now, this terrifying column of light was no less than Thor's thunder strike in terms of energy level.
"boom"
A terrifying pillar of light hit the body of the black phoenix that was in constant pain.
As Merlin watched, the shaking force of the phoenix was completely shattered.
The roar of a phoenix sounded in everyone present's ears, and the terrifying flames burst out at this moment, bringing everyone into it.
But it comes and goes quickly.
As the flames dissipated, the crimson power quickly rushed into the sky and disappeared among the stars.
It's gone.
The second time, he left the earth with failure.
Will it come back?
No one knows...
goodbye...
Chapter completed!
