6. Rise of the "Druids"

Merlin made an arrangement in 1970, gave Fury a warning, and handed over the promised items to the Kryptonians.

He also used the last time to help Zatanna find her father, who is his theoretical father-in-law.

Although Gwani John Zatara lost his flesh and blood, his soul was preserved under Gnar's "selfless assistance".

That exhausted mental body was being purified by Da Vinci's magic, and Zatanna originally planned to "thank" her lover.

But Lord Raven really didn't have much time.

After reluctantly refusing the little beauty's tender and affectionate embrace, Merlin rushed to Hawaii without stopping.

He wants to give an important thing to old friends who live here.

"Crack, crack"

The knock on the door woke up Vivienne who was breastfeeding the child. The latter glanced at the clock hanging on the wall in astonishment, then stood up holding the child.

She complained that these lunatics actually came to visit at this time, really...do you want to let people rest?

Walking to the door and opening it, he saw Merlin standing in front of the door, wearing a casual suit and a scarf on a hot day.

Merlin also saw Vivienne holding the child and her exposed chest.

"Are you really... open up like this after becoming a mother?"

Lord Raven immediately turned his head away in a gentlemanly way, and he said to Vivienne who was slightly panicked in front of him:

"It's better to change clothes."

"Who knew you'd be here at this hour?"

Vivian snorted, her cheeks flushed a little.

She turned around, tidied up her clothes, handed her precious son to the omnic butler beside her, and invited Merlin into the room.

"Is Serizawa not here?"

Merlin sat on the sofa and picked up the hot tea brought by the omnic servant. While sniffing the sound of the tea, he said to Vivian:

"Is he busy again?"

"Yeah, in the ancient eastern country, he just returned home two days ago, but he received news yesterday that Mothra's cocoon seemed to be hatching, so he went there again last night."

Vivian flipped her hair with dissatisfaction, and touched her slender waist that was slightly fat after giving birth.

She said worriedly:

"I also heard that he has a new assistant, a very young and beautiful girl... Merlin, tell me, will Serizawa..."

"Uh, this one."

Merlin leaned on the sofa pretending to be thinking, and after a few seconds, he said to the worried Vivian:

"Serizawa is also a man...Although in my opinion, he doesn't seem like a guy who would do such a thing, haha, well, I won't tease you."

Seeing Vivienne's expression darken at a speed visible to the naked eye, Merlin hurriedly put down his teacup, waved his hands, and said solemnly:

"If he really dares to abandon you all the time, I will teach him a good lesson for you."

"squeak"

Just when Merlin finished speaking, a monkey's cry sounded from the second floor.

Immediately afterwards, a nimble figure grabbed the railing and jumped down from a height of 5 meters, landing right on Raven Lord's shoulder.

Vivian's pet, the witcher monkey Hanuman was wearing a well-fitting shirt. It squatted on Merlin's shoulder and handed an apple that it bitten to the Maharaja in a fawning manner.

It still remembered Merlin, and it didn't forget that Merlin brought it back to Vivian from Skull Island.

This is a very loyal and grateful monkey.

Although Merlin didn't enjoy the gift it gave.

"Eat by yourself, I'm not very hungry."

Merlin handed back the bitten apple to the witcher monkey, who shrugged humanely, jumped off Merlin's shoulders, and ran to Vivian's side.

The little thing sat cross-legged on the sofa next to the hostess, and began to gnaw on the apple.

"I'm here to deliver something."

Merlin glanced at the increasingly clever witcher monkey. He took out a small wine bottle from his pocket and handed it to Vivienne.

The latter was in her hand, and she gently unscrewed the lid. Amidst the chill, she saw two special test tubes inside the wine bottle, with liquids of different colors shaking inside.

"This is?"

Vivian looked at Merlin in surprise.

The latter picked up the teacup and said softly:

"The infinite formula is specially used for Titans.",

"The brown one is exclusive to Kong, and the white one is Mothra's enhanced serum. I have told Serizawa how to use it before. You just need to send it to Serizawa."

"Biological modification?"

As a top biologist, Vivian immediately frowned when she heard this word.

She looked at the small wine bottle in her hand. After a few seconds, she raised her head and said to Merlin with a complicated expression:

"You told me back then that you would not agree to any biological experiments on Titans, Merlin, what made you change your mind?"

"One moment and another moment."

Lord Raven's face remained unchanged, he sipped his tea and said:

"I can't tell you what will happen in the future. I don't even know what I and the world are going to face, so I can only prepare in advance for any event that may happen."

"The emperor's plan is a link that is very likely to cause problems. I must prepare a plan for you to deal with the problem... What you hold in your hand is my plan."

"If in the future, in a few days, there will be some disasters that you didn't expect, if it is related to the Titan, then Serizawa will have the possibility to solve the problem if he gets these two tubes of serum."

Merlin paused to give Vivienne time to accept the message. After a few seconds, he put down his teacup and said to the worried Vivienne:

"You can love peace, you can pray that everything is safe, but at all times, you must have a weapon to protect yourself..."

"That's how the world works, Vivian."

"As for the preliminary plan of the 'Emperor Plan' I proposed to Serizawa, if you are interested, you can go to Serizawa to find out."

"Let me explain that we're not trying to use Titans to do bad things, no."

Merlin heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to Vivian:

"We just want to protect ourselves, and protect those titans by the way, and shape a future for them to coexist with us. Well, that's all, I can't say more."

"I'm leaving, and if we're both lucky enough, we'll see each other again."

After finishing speaking, Merlin started to leave Vivienne and Serizawa's house. Just before Lord Raven left, Vivienne suddenly remembered something.

"Wait, Merlin."

The female biologist stopped her friend who was about to leave, and she walked back to her husband's study. After a while, she came out with a pack of test tubes.

She handed the thing to Merlin, and she said:

"This was brought back by Serizawa before. He didn't say what it was, but I am also a member of the Emperor Organization. I know that these are the blood samples we have collected so far, the Titans."

"I guess he took the risk to get these, just to give them to you, right?"

"Um."

Merlin nodded. He glanced at the test tube in his hand and the blood in the test tube. He said:

"This has helped me a lot, thank you Serizawa for me."

"Also. Don't worry that he will abandon you and the child, Vivian, he has no place in his heart for anyone other than the Titans and you."

"bless all of you."

After speaking, Merlin stepped out of Hawaii.

And in the hall where only Vivian was left, she looked back at the small wine bottle placed on the table, she pursed her lips, her eyes were full of thoughts.

Ten minutes later, Vivienne, wearing a windbreaker, boarded the plane to the headquarters of the Emperor Organization, and Hanuman, the witcher monkey who was also dressed up, squatted on her shoulders.

Merlin's previous words were vague, but Vivienne was a smart enough woman, and she could sense a hint of ominousness from Merlin's words.

She had to go see Serizawa and talk to her husband about these things.

If he is going to take risks, then he must go with him!

—————————

Merlin came to New York.

The midnight nightclub, now belongs to the sphere of influence of the little succubus Mandy, but the slutty succubus with no ambitions basically does not participate in the management of this place.

She's still enjoying life in Brimstone Harbor.

The nightclub is currently run by Constantine.

Merlin stood at the entrance of the nightclub, raised his wrist, and looked at the time. At this time, it was less than 3 hours before the time agreed with Gao Tianzun, so he had to hurry up.

"ding dong"

Merlin pushed open the door of the nightclub, and it was as lively as ever.

All kinds of different kinds gather here, making loud noises and making endless noises.

That bastard Zhakang went to nowhere, standing at the bar was the legendary succubus that Zhakang contracted.

When that delicate little beauty saw Merlin, she almost peed in fright.

But before her weak legs could speak, Merlin made a gesture, and walked up to the second floor without anyone noticing.

The legendary succubus understood Lord Raven's gesture, and she immediately picked up the fruit phone dotted with diamonds and called her unreliable contractor.

A few minutes later, the disheveled Zha Kang returned to the nightclub from Sulfur Harbor, and walked into his office while wiping the hickey marks on his neck.

Merlin was sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

Zhakang's succubus stood tremblingly by the side, fearing to offend the Lord of Hell, he turned her back and sent her back to the damned wasteland to suffer.

Merlin frowned and glanced at the shivering succubus beside him, he felt that he was always gentle, how could he scare the succubus like this?

Could it be that he acted too fiercely?

No way, I was smiling all the time...

"I'm not here to trouble you, so don't worry."

Merlin waved his hand, signaling the sweating Succubus to go out and have a rest.

As if being pardoned, the latter immediately threw it out with his tail between his legs, leaving Zha Kang in the office alone.

Zha Kang was not afraid.

Wearing sunglasses, he rubbed his hands like a fly and said:

"Well, boss, I have been doing things according to your orders. The guys from the Monster Dynasty have accepted our suggestion, and they will not run away when the celestial spheres converge."

"Well, well done."

Merlin took out some odds and ends from his pocket, he glanced at Zha Kang, then frowned, and said:

"But I gave you all the magic pupils. After so long, why do you still have such little strength? Have you never put your heart into improving your strength?"

"Uh, this one."

Zha Kang felt the sweat seeping from the back of his neck, he reached out and took off his sunglasses, revealing the shining magic pupils in his eyes, he said to Merlin:

"I've been trying to come up with new tricks, but this thing is a bit... well, I feel..."

"Okay, stop making excuses."

Raven shrugged and said:

"In front of me, why are you lying?"

"Whatever you think in your heart, I don't need to listen... But I have said it all, I am not here to incriminate the teacher, I am here to give you something."

"this!"

Raven picked up a scroll that recorded complex spells from the table, then pointed to the test tube containing Titan's blood, and said to Constantine:

"Recently, I took the time to improve the Animagus spells used by wizards. I referred to the remaining pages of the "Book of Beasts" in my hand, so in theory it can also be regarded as a druid spell."

"It can give a tired guy like you more self-protection power, and the time of practice has also been shortened to about one day, but there is a small price to pay."

Merlin picked out a test tube containing Titan's blood, flicked it with his hand, and then put that drop of blood into his mouth in front of Zha Kang.

The smell is pungent and bad.

Under Zha Kang's gaze, Merlin first reached out and threw out a dimensional mirror image, then quickly recited the improved spell, and an orange light shone in his pupils.

The magic power of the Almighty Heavenly Father rolled up, and the time for this spell to take shape was rapidly compressed.

After just a few seconds, with a deep roar, Merlin's body quickly changed shape, very much like the way wizards use Animagus spells.

But what Merlin transforms is not ordinary animals like kittens, ravens, bugs, and dogs.

At such a high speed, it was as if his body had been elongated, turning him into a monster about 15 meters tall.

Merlin felt the new body shape, and he tried to flap his wings.

So in the next second, under Zha Kang's gaze, colorful halos lit up in the dimensional mirror, like an arc of light tearing apart the darkness.

A pair of huge butterfly wings with a wingspan of about 250 meters, dotted with glasses-shaped clusters on the edges of the wings spread out in this space.

The pair of butterfly wings are covered with a mysterious blue light, and there is a pair of smaller butterfly wings at the tail, which are also colorful and dazzling, with mysterious lines appearing on these wings.

In the howling wind brought by Merlin's flapping wings, the halo on the wings became more and more graceful.

Zha Kang looked dizzy.

He wasn't freaked out.

Rather, those shiny wings themselves seemed to have a certain ability to seduce, even with the blessing of the magic pupil, Zha Kang couldn't resist it.

And in front of his eyes, a big moth appeared in the center of those impossibly beautiful wings.

Although the body surface is covered with smooth scales, the body hair flutters like a mane in the wind, and the shining spots of light like pollen are scattered on the wings, making this space full of weird beauty.

But moths are moths.

Zha Kang swore that he was not mistaken.

There are moth-like tentacles on the top of the head, two big eyes shining like gems, and four sharp spear-like limbs on the abdomen, as well as a fat abdomen.

The horrific and beautiful creature flapped its wings and hovered in front of Jon Kang. Merlin stared at Jon Kang with the eyes of his Animagus form, and the latter's body was trembling under the pressure of the fake titan's beast.

In the next second, the spell was cancelled, and Merlin returned from the beast form to the normal human form.

He picked up the spell at hand, shook it at Zha Kang, and said:

"Do you want this kind of power?"

"Um!"

Zha Kang frantically nodded for a moment, who wouldn't want such power?

Merlin shrugged, smiled and threw the scroll to Zha Kang, he said:

"The spell is given to you, but you have to find the blood of the Titan yourself. It is my preparation for what may happen in the future. In addition, you have to do something for me."

"Give this spell to those talented spellcasters. Hermione is responsible for the selection on the European side. You only need to look for it on the North American side."

Merlin stared at Zha Kang, he said with emphasis:

"The more 'Druids' you can find, the better!"

"Understand?"
