2. The Martian

Mars, a barren world.

It is not suitable for any life to live here, but scientific research shows that life may have been born on Mars a long time ago.

As a spellcaster, Merlin knew that the evolution of life is an event full of accidents and randomness, and a developed civilization may suddenly decline due to some inexplicable things.

Among the stars, this kind of thing happens almost all the time.

However, Mars is not far from the earth. It is said that in ancient times, some very curious wizards came here through various methods.

There are also rumors about the "Pandora's Box" that still exists today, saying that it is an artifact that allows ordinary people to have superhuman strength.

But no one found it after hundreds of years, so it was attributed to idiotic nonsense.

"boom"

While the air was shaking on the surface of Mars, the outline of a pink wooden door emerged strangely, and the next moment, the door was pushed open by a hand as white as jade.

Merlin stepped into Mars, his toes hovering a few inches above the ground, not touching the dust here.

It seems that they don't want to disturb the peace of this world.

The silly dog ​​Frank who followed him was not so particular.

The silly dog, who was wearing a suit similar to an astronaut's uniform and had a fishbowl-shaped shield on his head, spread his hooves, barked and ran several laps on this endless plain.

Under Merlin's speechless gaze, the silly dog ​​also planned to raise his hind legs and divide this plain into his own territory in a less particular way.

But it was still wearing a uniform, so naturally it couldn't do this rude action.

"You just look like a dog, Frank."

Merlin's voice sounded in Shagou's mind, and he said:

"You are not a real dog. In front of me, can you retain a little dignity of an alien?"

"whispering sound."

Frank rushed back to Merlin's feet. It sensed the gravitational force of Mars different from that of the earth, and said to Merlin:

"How much is dignity worth? If I didn't sell my dignity back then, how did I get the comfortable life I have now? Speaking of which, I have been eating and drinking for nothing at your house for so long, and I haven't said thank you to you yet. "

"No need."

Merlin waved his hands, and in the dancing tail of the black robe, he was in a suspended posture, with his hands behind his back, and headed towards the valley where Gu Gu was.

Merlin's voice said:

"You also helped me a lot. When I was away, you also took care of my stupid and disobedient younger sisters for me, and you worked tirelessly to deliver letters to Carol for me. There is no need to be so polite between us. "

"Wow."

The silly dog ​​circled Merlin twice, and said:

"This is the most touching thing I've heard this year, Merlin, after you became the Lord of Hell, you've become more and more able to speak."

"right?"

Merlin, who didn't speak at all just now and kept silent all the time, tilted his head and glanced at the orange light spot that appeared on Shagou's body. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but he calmed down quickly.

Frank, who had been hacked by himself, was very happy talking to himself.

With the blessing of the power of vanity, Merlin's favorability in its heart also increased.

Vanity, really good at playing with others

One person and one dog walked forward for a few minutes. After rounding a rust-red ridge, Merlin looked at the canyon in front of him. He said to Frank:

"You stay here, the valley is just ahead, I'll go and have a look."

After speaking, Merlin headed towards the valley.

The orange light flashed on him, and Frank behind him shook his head in surprise. Shagou suspected that he was in a trance just now.

Merlin is clearly in front of him, but it is hard to realize the existence of Merlin, and always ignores that guy subconsciously.

His presence seemed to disappear completely at once.

Just like stealth with visual occlusion.

Soon, Merlin entered the valley.

But Cuckoo and the mysterious looter are not here. In the cave at the end of the valley, there are still traces left by the teleportation. They should have left not long ago.

Merlin was not discouraged either.

He continued to move forward, bypassing the suspicious bonfire on the ground, which seemed to be left after a barbecue, and then entered the gloomy-looking cave.

When he first entered the cave, his eyes widened.

"So you stole it!"

Merlin looked at a large pile of strange white bones scattered in front of him, which almost filled the cave. From the white bones, he could still feel the howling soul residue.

The Maharaja squatted down in front of the white bones under his feet, and he looked at the twisted bones in front of him.

There are bite marks on those white bones, but they are not exaggerated or scary, just like the bite marks left by humans.

The bones showed signs of being burned, and the flesh on them had been gnawed clean.

"Greedy ghost."

Merlin curled his lips, he took a step back, and raised his fingers upwards while the wide sleeves were swaying.

The Restoration Curse of the Heavenly Father was cast on the mountain of bones scattered in front of him.

The wind of magic power blew, and amidst the sound of bones colliding, the mountains of white bones flew out of the cave, and were quickly reorganized on the ground of the valley.

Ten seconds later, two huge monsters made of white bones appeared in front of Merlin's eyes.

The huge one is like a beast on all fours. The height of the bone remains at about 90 meters. It has a skull like a bug, and the body of the bone is covered with sharp limbs.

And the short one looks very similar to the other white bone, but it is only nearly 40 meters tall, and overall it is one size smaller, but there are huge wings made of joints on the back.

"Muto"

Merlin looked at the two reassembled skeletons in front of him, and a gleam of relief flashed in his blue eyes.

After Muto was killed, he sent the red devil Azazzo to the warehouse of the Sky Eye Society to bring out the remains of these two monsters and use them to make the first sequence of god creations of Mechanicus.

But Muto's body mysteriously disappeared and was stolen.

Now he has found the stolen bones on Mars, tens of thousands of light-years away from Earth, which has to be said to be a joke of fate.

And Merlin had many speculations about the mysterious man's purpose of stealing Muto's body before. He also suspected that some guys wanted to use this titan's body to make some evil things.

Now, this mystery has also been revealed.

they are eaten

Got eaten by God.

Merlin shook his head, thinking about it himself, he certainly couldn't think of the answer to this. What kind of terrible glutton would be interested in Titan's meat?

The research of the Emperor Organization has already proved that the meat of Titans contains toxins that are extremely harmful to humans.

Tsk tsk, what a horrible stomach.

"hum"

Merlin raised his fingers and sliced ​​outwards. A dent was cut in the space, like an open pocket, and the two relatively complete Muto corpses were covered in it.

With Merlin's current control over the space, he can already easily make such a four-dimensional pocket.

Very convenient, never worry about things will be lost.

"I'm just glad you didn't use it to make soup."

Lord Raven looked back at the bonfire in the valley again. Judging from the remaining embers, the glutton who snatched Gu Gu should have just finished eating Mu Tuo's meat.

Merlin was glad that he came in time.

If it was a few days later, maybe Muto's bones would be broken and used to roast the spinal cord, or simply boil a pot of soup to drink.

Such a thing happened to the mighty Titan after his death.

Really are

Those who hear it are sad, and those who see it weep.

"swish"

Merlin's ears moved, and he heard the sound of space splitting.

somebody is coming!

More orange rays of light poured out, covering Merlin's body.

The next moment, a purple, deep, revolving door appeared in the valley.

A crisp, joyful voice also sounded in the light.

It sounds like a young girl.

"Let me tell you, a few days ago, I learned a new cooking method on the Asian side of the earth."

The voice seemed to be speaking to another guy.

she says:

"Those very powerful chefs wash all kinds of fresh ingredients, then use big bones to boil a pot of thick soup, and then throw the ingredients in. After a period of steaming, the thick soup can be delicious and tangy."

"Yeah, just talking, my saliva flowed down."

The sound was getting closer.

"But why can't I find a suitable pot, so I can only make do with this."

"I found this thing on the snow mountain. There are so many good things from the hairless big sister. I will send it back to her after I cook the big bone soup."

"You want soup too, right? Hee hee, I also picked a lot of mushrooms, look, the color is so bright, the soup must be great."

"We can't just eat vegetables. I'll go to the big three-pointed star to catch a few beasts and come back. Their meat is very fragrant, right? It's just like veal. You ate it a few days ago."

The chattering sound became clearer and clearer.

Merlin, who was maintaining a super Akalin state, stood by the valley, looking at the greedy ghost that caught his eyes.

It was a pretty girl.

The waist-length smooth black hair swayed back and forth as he walked, like a waterfall.

She is wearing a long dress of a human girl and a pair of beautiful high heels. She has a delicate face and a pair of unforgettable big purple eyes.

But Merlin narrowed his eyes.

This is all an illusion!

This girl is a heavenly father, and her race is not human. In the eyes of Raven, this purple-eyed girl is like a luminous body mixed with the halo of stars.

She has no real form.

The reason Merlin sees her as a human is because Merlin is a human himself.

If standing here is a Cree, then this girl will also show the posture of a Cree, and it definitely conforms to the aesthetics of the Cree.

This is a star life that is difficult to judge with common sense

And Gu Gu, the big stupid cat, was lying in the girl's arms. It flicked its tail listlessly, and let out a meow from time to time to echo what the girl said.

On Gugu's paw, there is a purple halo tightly clasped, like a ring on a cat's paw.

Apparently, Goo Goo is trapped, unable to teleport, and unable to escape.

And that mysterious purple-eyed girl chattered endlessly, and a heavy black tripod was suspended on her left hand. On the tripod, there were runes of flowers, birds, fish, animals and stars, exuding a heavy feeling.

Merlin has seen this thing before. His previous blood bone ceremony was the raw material processed with this cauldron.

This is the collection of the Supreme Mage.

It is said that it is a fetish from the heaven of the ancient eastern country, and it is specially used by alchemists to process materials.

It seems to be called the cauldron of all things.

And on the right side of the girl, there is a large basket of fresh mushrooms, still stained with soil, obviously just picked, as the girl herself said, the color of the mushrooms is very bright

Red, green and green are truly beautiful.

The girl probably thought of the taste of the big bone soup, she swallowed, quickened her pace, and walked towards the cave where she stored the bones, which she just opened in a few minutes this morning.

She just walked over from 5 meters in front of Merlin, but ignored her and stood there, looking up and down at her Lord Raven.

It was as if Merlin didn't exist at all.

But just as she was humming and walking to the entrance of the cave, the purple-eyed girl froze in place, as if struck by lightning.

"Where are the bones!"

Her eyes widened and she screamed:

"Where are my bones! They were still here just now! A thief stole my bones!!!"

"cough cough"

Just as the girl was scratching her hair in annoyance, a gentle cough sounded behind her, and the listless Googu in her arms immediately regained her spirits.

The big orange cat, which had gained weight again in the past few days, let out a meow, jumped out of the purple-eyed girl's arms, and rushed behind her like lightning.

"Gana! Come back quickly! You bad cat!"

The girl screamed and turned around, and then she saw a mysterious man standing behind her, hovering in the valley, with his hands behind his back, wearing a strange black robe, with black hair hanging on his shoulders.

Her cat was lying on the man's shoulder, and with a happy expression, she put her furry face on the guy's face.

This made Ganata very jealous.

During this period of time, she had prepared so many delicious food for Gu Gu Gu and shared everything with it, but this big bad cat had never been so close to her.

uncomfortable!

want to cry!

Wronged!

"Girl, the mushrooms you picked are poisonous, and you will have diarrhea if you eat them"

Merlin glanced at the mushroom in Ganata's hand, and he reminded:

"Of course I don't think such a small amount of poison will affect the terrifying life that can digest the flesh and blood of a Titan. However, you took my cat away, and my sisters are very unhappy. I have to take it back."

"You took my bones!"

The long black hair behind Ganata floated up and scattered in the air, representing the girl's bad mood at this time.

Her purple eyes stared at Merlin.

Behind her, the purple machine extending from her waist expanded rapidly, like a creation that appeared out of thin air.

In the blink of an eye, a complex and mysterious weapon platform extended behind Ganata.

More than hundreds of launch ports aimed at Merlin under the control of Ganata.

She knew it was a Heavenly Father.

But she is not afraid.

Just Father

If it doesn't work, I can still call my dad to beat me up

Uh, forget it, don't call daddy, something terrible will happen after dad wakes up. The earth is fine, so many delicious foods.

Such a beautiful world cannot be eaten by my father in one bite.

This is Ganata's own private land.

"Take my bones, and my pussy!"

Driven by the emotions of jealousy, hunger, and food protection, Ganata ignored Merlin's desire to solve the problem peacefully, with a dangerous, purple light shining in her eyes.

With her hair flying, she screamed to Merlin:

"return!!!"
