28. Return of the Titan

The so-called holy relic is a term in the magical world.

It refers to some items that have been used by some legends that actually existed in legends and possessed powerful power.

Generally speaking, they are fragments of weapons, or ancient cultural relics unearthed from tombs, etc.

Because these things have been in contact with those legendary figures in history for a long time, they are also contaminated with some legendary atmosphere on the symbolic level.

According to the description of mystic magic, as long as the stories of those legendary figures are still remembered, then the aura of these legends will not dissipate.

With the help of some special and taboo magic formulas, wizards can use these legendary items to summon the heroic spirits of those legendary figures who have died in history to the present world.

Fight for the Summoner, or answer some secrets that only the Legend himself knows.

As for the heroic spirit, this existence form between the soul of the dead and the holy spirit is very strange.

It sounds grand, but it's actually not uncommon.

Just in Thor’s hometown, in Asgard, God’s Domain, Odin built a holy place called Valhalla, where there are Valkyries who have lived for many years on the battlefield of the Nine Kingdoms, collecting the spirits who died in battle for the God King. , to deal with the legendary "Twilight of the Gods".

Although those summoned spirits are generally very powerful and good at fighting, they are extremely perfect summoning objects in summoning magic, but in the past thousands of years, few people in the European magic world have studied this magic formula of "Spirit Summoning" surgery.

On the one hand, not every legendary character can become a heroic spirit, and those who can become a heroic spirit, not everyone will leave enough legendary items.

Finding these ancient relics would cost a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and ordinary wizards simply couldn't afford this kind of expense.

On the other hand, since those ancient heroic spirits have died, they will either go to heaven or go to hell.

These places are managed by people.

And forcibly pulling people from the territory of angels or hell lords to the present world is a very dangerous behavior.

For ordinary wizards, once they are targeted by a vengeful hell lord, it means that their magical career can be declared over.

One last aspect.

Even if you are lucky enough to find the holy relic, and you are extremely lucky to summon heroic spirits under the eyes of the hell lords, that doesn't mean that the summoners can sit back and relax and be invincible.

Heroic spirits are in heaven or hell, relying on the high concentration of magic power there to maintain their bodies.

But once entering the present world, the weak magic power in this world is simply not enough to support the existence of heroic spirits for a long time, and if you want to fight, the speed of heroic spirits will only dissipate faster.

At this time, the summoners need to use their own magic power to replenish energy for the heroic spirits.

In the wizarding world, this behavior is commonly known as "replenishment".

But if you think about it with your heels, you know that as ordinary wizards, the magic power they can use is simply not enough to supply the heroic spirits.

And if there is a slight mistake in forcibly replenishing the mana, those summoners will end up in a ****... er, the mana is exhausted, or even completely drained of mana, becoming a terrible end for the disabled.

Once he becomes a useless person, the carefully cultivated heroic spirit will definitely abandon him.

These various restrictions have led to the fact that this kind of heroic spirit summoning magic that appeared in ancient Greece is rarely cared about. In this era, this kind of magic has almost been forgotten.

And why does Merlin know the magic of holy relics and heroic spirit summoning?

This is because of the relationship between little Hermione and little Harry.

Since several years ago, the upcoming phenomenon of "celestial sphere convergence" has been unable to hide from those wizards who are good at astrology.

The celestial-sphere confluence once every 5000 years is a terrible astronomical and magical phenomenon. Countless dimensions are open to each other, and it lasts for more than ten years. Monsters from all worlds scurry around, which will inevitably lead to extremely dire consequences.

Once things go wrong, the whole earth will become a hunting ground for exotic demons to hunt.

In this general environment, wizards in the European magic world will not sit still. With the support of SHIELD that still existed at that time, they tried to strengthen their own strength in various ways.

Little Hermione, who was the Deputy Minister of Magic at the time, and Harry, the British Auror Commander, were naturally not exempt.

They were ordered to find a way to strengthen the strength of the British wizarding world, and after much searching, they chose Heroic Spirit Summoning.

The British Ministry of Magic has a big business. The warehouse of the Ministry of Magic is full of ancient relics that have been searched for in the past. There are a lot of holy relics, and relying on the protection of Brother Merlin, they also have connections in hell.

Finally, Merlin taught them how to make magic gems.

After several conditions were met, research on the summoning of heroic spirits was secretly carried out in England.

When Merlin died, it was said that the first batch of heroic spirit summoning experiments had ended, and they seemed to have successfully summoned several ancient heroic spirits.

But the UK...

It stands to reason that they should not let go of the world-famous King Arthur, but it is said that this proposal was rejected by the Queen of Buckingham Palace.

The reason for the rejection is also simple.

Although King Arthur is a British legend, King Arthur himself was Celtic.

After the vicissitudes of life, the Celtic dynasty died long ago. The main body of the British people now is the Anglo-Saxon race who fought against the Celts.

It's okay if the summoning fails.

If it succeeds, as soon as the legendary servant of King Arthur, who is wise and powerful, and who hates foreign enemies, appears, he will probably grasp the sword of the vowed victory in his hand, and slaughter the whole of Britain from the queen to the beggar. three times...

Even if a heroic spirit of the level of King Arthur is summoned, the wizards of the Ministry of Magic will absolutely not be able to control it.

but now...

Merlin had a genuine holy relic in his hand.

But he is also eager to figure out the mysterious connection between King Arthur and the Cybertronians.

Thus, a bold and very tempting idea suddenly appeared in Lord Raven's mind.

————————

Not to mention the coquettish ideas Maharaja Merlin was thinking about in the wasteland, and the coquettish operations he was about to perform.

On the continent of Europe, near the sea off the British Isles, a huge scientific research ship is slowly sailing, er, this is not Jane Foster's ship.

This ship only set off from France 2 days ago, and the hundreds of researchers on board are also from the same organization.

The name of this organization is Emperor.

And the biologists of these imperial organizations have only one purpose for going to sea this time.

That is to figure out why the ancient titans are suddenly active these days at the same time.

yes...

The powerful Titans, who had always been quiet and isolated from the world, suddenly showed signs of activity that did not conform to their activity rules.

Except for Kong, the orangutan emperor of Skull Island who has been being monitored, most of the dozen or so ancient titans discovered in the world have been detected to show signs of activity.

This expedition ship that entered the Atlantic Ocean was a team sent by the Emperor Organization.

On the snowfields of Siberia, in the deserts of the Middle East, in the mountains and rainforests of South America, and on the archipelago near Australia.

Dozens of teams are carrying out their own tasks.

This is probably the largest and most intensive large-scale operation of the Emperor Organization since its establishment in 1943.

Relying on the Imperial Organization's own personnel is definitely not enough, so they sent invitations to top biologists from all over the world.

Invited figures include Reed Richards and his wife Susan, and Bruce Banner, who has seven Ph.D. degrees and has made achievements in many fields, and his wife Betty Ross.

Arthur Curry, a marine biologist who has risen to fame in recent years, and his girlfriend Kara, etc.

Even Dr. Serizawa, who is married and living in seclusion in Hawaii, and his wife, who is also his student Vivienne Graham, who are semi-retired senior figures, were alarmed and invited to make a comeback.

In short, these days, the biological world in the whole world is simply in a state of turmoil.

"Ms. Vivian!"

On the deck of the scientific research ship sailing slowly on the sea, Vivian, who was leaning against the side of the ship and fishing leisurely, heard a call.

Wearing a sun hat, the young woman, who is now an adult wife, turned her head and saw a girl in a white top, red skirt, and wine-red glasses walking towards her.

"Hi, Dr. Vivian, my name is Kara, Kara El."

The young girl Carla sat generously on the side of the ship beside Vivienne, her legs dangling outside the deck.

She said to Vivienne very familiarly:

"I have read all the papers you have published, including three papers on ancient organisms. I like those three papers very much. You are my idol~"

"Ha ha."

Vivian, who was in a good mood, chuckled lightly. She grabbed the fishing rod and said to the energetic girl beside her:

"It's the first time I've heard that someone regards me as an idol. Speaking of which, you are the girlfriend of marine biologist Arthur, right? I saw you eating together in the restaurant just now."

"It's not a girlfriend!"

Carla snorted, and the girl curled her lips in disdain, and she said:

"That guy Arthur can't give me a sense of security. He is too weak. He can still play with me in the sea. Once on land, he can't even catch my two punches... Who would find a man like that? friend?"

"???"

Vivian looked at Cara in surprise.

That look made Kara realize immediately that she had said something she shouldn't have said again.

She hastily changed the subject abruptly.

She said to Vivian:

"Speaking of which, I still don't know which titan we are looking for when we go to sea this time?"

Kara raised her hand slightly excitedly, and made a gesture of catching a dinosaur. She said enthusiastically:

"Is it Godzilla, the king of monsters?"

"How can it be."

Vivian said calmly:

"This season, Godzilla's circumnavigation route should be in the waters where the Pacific Ocean meets the Indian Ocean, where it will enter the underground hollow world, and then reach South America in 2 months, and then enter the Atlantic Ocean from the Drake Passage... .”

"We're sure we won't meet it."

"As for who we're looking for, look, Kara, we're in British waters, and the most famous legend on the British side..."

"The Loch Ness Monster!"

Carla reacted immediately, and she said:

"Is that the plesiosaur?"

"It's not a plesiosaur, Carla, your wording is too loose."

Vivienne pointed out Kara's trial and error as unceremoniously as she had spoken to the frizzy grad students she had supervised.

she says:

"According to our current observations, Niss is very likely to be a variant evolution of the ancient mosasaur. In an accidental encounter more than ten years ago, we saw Niss under the sea..."

Vivian looked at the sea in front of her, she brushed her black hair, and said:

"Nearly 150 meters long, as wide as an island, with a weight of at least 80,000 tons, a terrifying creature that can easily devour sperm whales... It deserves the title of Titan."

"Even with such a terrifying body shape, Ness can only be ranked low among the 19 Titans observed so far, just above the juvenile physique. Compared with its companions with various magical powers, Ness's The risk is pretty low."

Kara finished listening to Dr. Vivienne's introduction like listening to a fairy tale.

The girl from Krypton stared at the sea in front of her, as if the mysterious Ness would appear in front of her in the next moment.

After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Kara came back to her senses, and she asked:

"In other words, there is not much danger in this voyage?"

"Hehe, you're not a biologist, are you?"

Vivian asked a weird question.

Carla blushed, and she whispered:

"I'm not, uh, I'm joining this operation as a protector."

"Oh I got it."

Vivienne suddenly realized, she said:

"You're a superhero, no respect no disrespect."

"In short, the danger is relative. Although Nice is less destructive compared to other titans, but now we are on the sea, if we encounter Nice in a bad mood, it will be an uncompromising battle." Buckle disaster."

"With its size and strength, it could capsize our boat effortlessly, or it might want to 'play' with us, setting off a terrifying tide and burying us on the bottom of the ocean to feed the fish."

Vivienne said something terrible with a calm face, as if talking about what to eat this afternoon.

She reached out and patted Carla on the shoulder, and she said:

"So, if we're unlucky and meet Nice, it's up to you."

"This is the sea, and this is Arthur's home field."

Carla curled her lips and said:

"I'm just here to be his assistant, but I'm also very interested in ancient Titans."

The Kryptonian girl stretched out her hand to support her chin. She seemed to have been bored for too long, so she just stayed with Vivienne.

She said to Vivian:

"Sister Vivienne, tell me more stories about Titans, for example, why those Titans who have always been away from the world suddenly rioted collectively in the past few days..."

Carla blinked her eyes and said:

"I have a feeling, sister, the cause of this incident is not simple."
