Shadow of the Beautiful World

8. Turn On

Merlin's words blew through the room like a cold wind.

At that moment, the neck of the old devil Mephisto standing behind the gaming table felt a little chilly, while Gao Tianzun, who was a participant in the gambling game, looked at his younger brother and laughed loudly.

He bent down laughing with his belly in his arms, as if he had heard the funniest joke.

Unlike Gao Tianzun's happiness, the collector's expression is ugly.

"What's so funny about that?"

Merlin, who was sitting on the throne of vanity, asked with a blank expression.

"No, no, it's nothing funny, it's actually a serious subject."

Gao Tianzun waved his hand, he laughed for several seconds before standing up straight, he said solemnly:

"I'm not kidding you, Raven."

He stretched out his hand and spread it flat in front of his younger brother. The collector gave Merlin a hard look, and he reluctantly took something out of his pocket and put it in Gao Tianzun's hand.

The latter picked up the jewel-like thing and put it in front of his eyes to observe it. He said:

"Just before you came, I made a bet with my brother. I said that you would definitely add similar terms. Although you have never been a gambler, it is obvious that I know you very well."

"Look, I won, a good start."

Gao Tianzun proudly put the jewel on his hand in the form of a ring, looked at it in front of his eyes, and said happily:

"Under the gentle, stable and gloomy appearance, you have a crazy soul, which is exactly the same as Cyber ​​and Tyrion."

"I'm starting to wonder now whether your birthplace, that mysterious world outside the multiverse, is full of such lunatic souls."

"Well, it must be a crazy place in there."

He coughed and measured himself, Gao Tianzun stretched out his finger under Meilin's gaze, and he said:

"Okay! Bet on your life, right? I bet!"

"Anyway, what exists in this universe is only the power projection of me and my brother. If you die, you will die. It's nothing more than the pain of cutting off a finger. It will heal after hundreds of years or thousands of years."

"But you are different, Merlin."

Gao Tianzun said meaningfully:

"You put everything on yourself. Without your leadership, no matter how powerful the heroes of this world are, they don't know where they will throw their fists. If you lose, everything will be over!"

"I won't lose."

Merlin's tone was gentle, without a trace of anger, he said:

"I never gamble, not only because I hate gambling, but also because I can't afford to lose. But you guys are so bullying, and I'm not hesitant to play with you. Anyway, it's already reached this point. Stud is stud."

"Are you still angry about the giant beast?"

Gao Tianzun smiled, waved his hands and said:

"That was just a joke. Besides, didn't you handle it well? We didn't even expect it. Before we found out, you actually connected with Oneiroi. What a wonderful move."

"Without further ado."

Merlin reached out and knocked on the table, he said:

"Let's talk about the rules."

"The rules are very simple."

The kind-hearted Gao Tianzun seemed to have regained his passion as an old gambling dog. He waved his hands and introduced to Merlin:

"The confluence of the celestial spheres will open in a few minutes. At that time, the stable dimensions of this world will be disordered, and the barriers between worlds will be broken, as if all dimensions are twisted and intertwined."

"I have arranged the 'cards' in my hand, and they will attack the earth for various reasons. I know you also have 'cards' in your hand."

"But unfortunately, neither you nor I can interfere with the direction of the incident after it starts."

Gao Tianzun rubbed his chin, he said:

"It's like auto chess, have you ever played it?"

"That kind of game where you can only watch and not interfere has a lot of luck, but reasonable risk avoidance can always suppress the luck to the minimum."

"Um."

Merlin nodded, he understood what Gao Tianzun meant.

He asked again:

"What time?"

"Time"

Gao Tianzun glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, he said:

"Let's limit it to 7 days, a week, if after the 24th hour of the 7th day, the earth still exists and has not been destroyed, then you win."

"still have a question."

Merlin says:

"This won't involve the five gods, will it?"

"Won't."

Gao Tianzun waved his hand and said:

"Although the five gods in this group of stars are all projections, the projection of extraordinary power is not easy to mess with. I don't want to provoke an enemy as difficult to deal with as the five gods of the main world just because of a game of gambling."

"good."

Raven nodded, and said:

"last question."

"Why do you have so many questions?"

Collector Yin Cece complained:

"Chi Chi Wai Wai, like a bitch!"

"Hey, your words will get you in trouble in this world, bastard."

Merlin glanced at Collector, he said:

"Be careful of being hammered to the head by a group of women!"

"What about this guy?"

Raven pointed to Mephisto behind him. After knowing the final secret of the stars, the old devil has been keeping a low profile.

But this guy has the audacity to hang out with a bastard like Gao Tianzun, which proves that it is not as submissive as it seems on the surface.

Merlin also noticed this, so he asked straightforwardly:

"Does it belong to your side, or is it counted separately?"

"This is it."

Gao Tianzun smiled, and said meaningfully:

"It depends on how His Excellency Mephisto chooses, but this is mainly a bet between you and us, and he only has two choices: choosing you to win or choosing us to win."

"This will not change the overall situation, and there will be absolutely no damn draw!"

Speaking of this, Gao Tianzun gritted his teeth and said:

"There's only one winner, and that's the bottom line!"

"Okay, then I'm fine."

Merlin moved his fingers, and he said:

"can we start?"

"certainly."

The elder of the universe snapped his fingers, and the power of a single body covered Merlin along with the starlight gambling table.

That power quickly cut off Merlin's connection with this world, and sealed up all the items related to him that were placed in the world. Merlin moved his fingers a little uncomfortable.

Judas the Blade, who remained in the wasteland, could not be summoned, and the connection with the Raven Book was cut off.

He could no longer project his consciousness into the world, and became a complete bystander. Of course, that light also shrouded Gao Tianzun and the collector.

At the moment when the game was ready, seven gazes came from all over the stars.

5 great gods, as well as gods and giant beasts.

Of course they can see and understand the power of the ceiling of this world.

They are witnesses, arbitrators, and even participants, and they are also looking forward to seeing the outcome of this life-and-death game.

"Then, I declare."

Gao Tianzun coughed, he glanced at the expressionless Merlin, and said:

"Gambling, start!"

"I'm going to help Merlin!"

Somewhere where the stars shine, a huge spaceship with a strange shape is silently staying in the sea of ​​stars.

At the front of the spaceship, under a throne full of mechanical style, Tunmei, who had restored her original appearance, looked at the person on the throne angrily.

She shook her head a little like a spoiled, screaming:

"I'm going to help him! We agreed, I can't miss the appointment."

"Don't go!"

There was no sound coming from the throne, but the voice of the idiot father came from the god-level special waveform that only Tunmei could hear.

The sternness contained in it made Tunmei bite her lip, but she didn't dare to refute.

That was her father.

Galactus, one of the five gods of the universe.

Like Tunmei, he wears a weird purple horn-shaped helmet and a set of purple mechanical armor. Under the helmet, he has calm eyes with stars shining in them.

But compared with the cheerful and lively Tunmei Ganata, Tunxing himself is much more stable.

He sat on the throne, with his hands on the armrests, even if it was just a power projection among the stars, it was quite majestic.

He looked at his daughter, and then at the image of the earth in front of him.

In that converging wave He said:

"I see everything about you and that human being, but I don't allow you to have anything to do with him!"

"What my daughter Gao Tianzun and the collector are going to do is stupid, but it is in your interest!"

"Whether it's them, Cyber ​​Hawk, or Tyrion Dawnblade, as long as they ignite the cosmic furnace and the illusory era ends, you can experience the change of the universe like me, and from here on Gained enough knowledge in the process.”

Swallowing Star increased his voice, and he said:

"Only after experiencing a complete Genesis, can you become a real star devourer in the next era. This group of stars is doomed to destruction, my daughter, helping Merlin will not do you any good!"

"You have to do what's best for you"

"The most favorable choice is not necessarily the right one!"

Tunmei gritted her teeth and retorted:

"Compared to being like you, a big slob who never gets enough to eat and sleeps at home most of the time, becoming a monster ruled by desire and instinct, I would rather be the same as I am now, with my friends Wander around!"

"What's so good about being a swallowing star?"

Ganata's purple eyes sparkled with fire, and she yelled at her father, venting all the anguish in her heart.

she screamed:

"Everyone is afraid of you! Everyone is afraid of me!"

"They were polite to me, but the fear in their eyes made me unable to laugh at all! Before I met Merlin, before I met him, everyone was like this!"

"Dad, I don't want to be you! I don't want to be a tyrant who is feared by everyone!"

Tunmei kept backing away. She clenched her fists and looked at her father on the throne. She said:

"I'm going to help him!"

"He considers me a friend and I don't want to let him down! I don't want to let down my only friend."

"Then you're going to disappoint me?"

Tun Xing looked at his daughter, and he said softly:

"Do you know how much it cost me to let Cyber ​​Hawk take the risk of losing everything and secretly send you into this universe when the stars are being shaped?"

"I do not care!"

Tunmei couldn't listen to her father's advice at this time.

This domineering girl is in the teenage period of human beings, when she was originally rebellious, but at this time she was dazzled by friendship.

Clenching her fists like an angry fighter, she shouted to her father:

"Don't stop me! I'm leaving here, I'm going to Earth"

"No matter what you think, this time, I want to do what I think is right. It doesn't matter how important it is to have friends!!!"

Tunmei shook her smooth long black hair and shouted this sentence with the greatest strength.

She glanced angrily at her indifferent father, and then rushed out of the spaceship devouring the stars without looking back, turning into a purple light and disappearing among the stars.

Probably because she was afraid of her father's obstruction, she flew extremely fast and disappeared among the stars in the blink of an eye.

"whoosh"

A man with silver luster all over his body appeared under the Throne of Tun Xing. He stepped on a strangely shaped surfboard. He said to Tun Xing:

"Master, I need to go"

"No."

Tun Xing watched her daughter disappear among the stars.

He has ten thousand ways to easily stop the impulsive Ganata.

But he didn't do that, he just sat on the throne, watching the figure of Ganata flying into the stars, he said meaningfully:

"My silly daughter doesn't know what she and her friends call 'rescue', it doesn't exist at all."

"But this is also good. Compared with a star-swallowing queen who is at the mercy of others, Ganata who has her own ideas and can stick to her own mind is what I want to see."

"She will eventually embark on the road of devouring stars, that is her destiny, which my clumsy and impulsive daughter can't avoid, and the changes she is going through now, the changes that shouldn't happen, are all because of Merlin !"

The tone of the Great Star Swallowing God became low, filled with complaints and anger, but he quickly calmed down again. He looked at the other side of the stars and said:

"Let her go."

"Maybe she saw her friend's downfall with her own eyes, and cutting off the fetters of so-called friendship will make her more sober. This world, all worlds, are equally cruel and cold."

"My poor daughter should have become a god of the universe, but now she has grown into a hot-blooded girl. Really, my education has really failed."
