36. Recovered Samples

The shape of Aiken, ultra-level magic, classified as illusion.

In the wizarding world, illusion magic is often known for its deception and flexibility, and it does not emphasize the ability to fight frontally. For illusion masters, they must avoid hand-to-hand combat with the enemy under any circumstances. This is also a magic that Merlin doesn't know much about. Classification.

However, as a super-level magic, the existence form of the shape of Aiken has already surpassed the scope of general illusion, and it has almost pushed the power of illusion to the extreme.

During the shock of the huge magic storm, 10 Merlins appeared around the landed spaceship, as if they were split from Merlin's body. The 10 Merlins were exactly the same from the outside to the inside, and each phantom had its own identity. His physical fitness is exactly the same, his spellcasting ability is exactly the same, almost 100% replica, and he has a complete personal thinking.

It is equivalent to copying 9 copies of himself, and Merlin's combat power has increased by 10 times in this instant!

Of course, they still share a magic pool.

It also means that the powerful magic that instantly increases the combat power by dozens of times can last for a period of time that is maintained according to the total amount of magic power of the caster.

This is probably the biggest shortcoming of this ultra-level magic, but there is no perfect thing in the world. Compared with the powerful effect of this magic, this shortcoming is hardly worth mentioning.

For ordinary wizards, their magic power will be drained the moment they release their illusions, and even with such a strong magic pool of Merlin, after splitting 10 illusions, they will never be able to persist for more than one minute.

but...

enough!

Ten Merlins hovered around the spaceship, and the heavy spaceship fell rapidly under the pull of gravity. The friction with the atmosphere made it the most dazzling meteor falling in the dark night. Sexual flames.

Gravity is like an invisible hand, pulling Reed's spaceship to the ground like a falling warhammer. This is another contest between steel and the earth, and steel has almost no chance of winning.

"gravitational..."

10 Merlins raised their fingers at the same time, and the 10 extreme gravitational oniums were activated, just like an anti-gravity black hole opened in the sky.

"kuang"

The rapidly falling spaceship seemed to have hit an invisible heavy shield, and seemed to be held by another pair of reversely stretched hands. In the collision of the two terrifying forces, its outer shell was Vibrating crazily, the thin sweeping wings and slightly slender tail on both sides of the spaceship were torn off from the hull during the collision, and were thrown into the surrounding air in a flying posture.

The entire spaceship was humming, but the terrifying kinetic energy it carried when it fell was quickly eliminated in the confrontation between gravity and gravity.

The speed at which it fell was rapidly decreasing, and after just 3 seconds, it completely hovered in the air in a dilapidated posture.

"Send..."

10 Merlin's fingers touched the shell of Reed's spaceship in unison at the same time, and the 10 moving spells aimed at the same target were released at the same time. The spaceship body and the light around the spaceship are distorted at this moment, just like the opening of the vortex light door rotating inward.

"swish"

The scorching meteor that was falling rapidly in the sky at that moment dissipated, and the next second, it appeared in the empty dock on the 16th floor of the Pegasus underground base, where the Kerry warship captured in the 1994 war was originally moored However, that battleship has long been dismantled by scientists, so it is left vacant here.

Driven by the ever-changing gravitational force, Reed's spaceship hovered very smoothly a few meters above the ground, without even splashing a speck of dust.

"Goodbye, Mr. Ravens..."

The 10 Merlins waved goodbye to each other, and one by one they turned into dark red light spots and dissipated, and finally only the main body of Merlin remained.

"Icarus, open the landing gear."

Merlin gave an order, and a moment later, when Icarus took over, the internal control system of the spaceship that had been shut down was restarted. Amidst the rattling sound of mechanical modules colliding, the 15 landing gears of the spaceship, which were still complete, were opened, and the The dilapidated spacecraft was supported on the ground as a whole.

"There must be something in this spaceship that's affecting Clark, that's making him weak... We just missed it."

Merlin stepped into the black hole of the spaceship, and he was looking for Reed's super-large laboratory, while Icarus seemed very silent at this moment.

"Are you frightened by the magic just now? Icarus."

Merlin was rummaging through all kinds of suspicious things in the laboratory with the emergency lights turned on, and he asked softly:

"Is this beyond your comprehension?"

Icarus didn't talk back this time, she said honestly:

"If a magic can increase your overall strength by 1 to 2 times, then I can understand that magic is amazing after all. But this kind of... instantaneous increase of ten times or even dozens of times is too unscientific! I I don't even think it's magical!"

"Merlin, don't tell me, even in the state of ternary system, you can..."

"What do you say?"

Merlin pushed his glasses, and his eyes moved to the corner of the laboratory. On the ground, there was a containment box that should have been sealed, and there were green fluorescent lights dancing in the dim light.

He walked towards the fluorescent light, and he said to Icarus:

"Copying the ternary system will double the mana consumption. Although that state can only last for less than 10 seconds...but with the time accelerator, I think it is enough to deal with most scenes."

"This is the hole card, my Icarus, it is enough to reverse everything at a critical moment."

Merlin squatted down, carefully cast a protective magic on himself, then stretched out his hand, took out a green stone the size of a fingernail from the damaged sealing box, and looked at it in front of his eyes.

He could feel that the stone exuded some power that he couldn't understand.

"What's this?"

he asked.

"Looks like some kind of naturally occurring substance that's radioactive."

A blue light shot from Icarus' frame, scanning the small green stone in Merlin's hand, and she said:

"It contains some energy fluctuations that are very similar to gamma rays, but the energy is more complicated. Do you think this is what made Mr. Clark weak?"

"I can't be sure, Icarus, but this thing is the biggest suspect."

Merlin looked at the box at his feet. The box was filled with shiny green fluorescent stones. He didn't know where Reed and his companions found it.

"Can you call up the voyage log?"

Merlin put away the box of special substances, stood up, and asked:

"I want to know where they have been in the past three years?"

"no."

Icarus tried several times, and she said:

"The navigation data is locked in the core database. The protection program is extremely complicated, like a riddle of data. I can't open it without Reed's permission."

"So these smart people never forget to show off their wisdom."

Merlin shook his head regretfully. He walked out of the cabin, re-sealed the spaceship, and connected the spaceship to the energy source inside the Pegasus Base, so that its laboratory can continue to operate, so as not to destroy the completed experimental projects.

After doing all this, Merlin flashed back to the medical department of the ghost base. Dr. Moira, Miss Lillian, and Dr. Ziegler were busy. The four of Reed, plus the unconscious Clark, everyone Everyone needs help and everyone needs therapy.

"Clark was like a normal person again."

Merlin looked at Clark on the hospital bed. This invincible Kryptonian Superman was very weak at this moment. It was as if all the energy in his body had been emptied, and even his steel-solid defense had been lost.

On Clark's left arm, an infusion needle pierced his blood vessel, which proved that Clark was no different from a mortal at this time.

"What he needs is not therapy..."

Merlin said to Dr. Ziegler beside him:

"He just needs some sun to recover."

After speaking, Merlin reached out to pull out the needle, put his own Kerry respirator on Clark's face, then picked him up and walked out of the medical room.

A moment later, Horus' transformed black Kree shuttle rushed into the night sky without a sound, and flew out of the atmosphere. The pure sunlight outside the earth should allow Clark to recover quickly.

Merlin leaned on the driver's seat, looking at the vast expanse of stars in front of him, he said to Icarus:

"It seems that Kryptonians are not as perfect as we thought before. They also have weaknesses. To be honest, this makes me breathe a sigh of relief."

"You mean, have you finally found a way to stop the Kryptonians?"

Icarus replied:

"Is this some of your 'countermeasures' against Clark?"

"Well, but more because of..."

He turned his head to look at the unconscious Superman beside him, and said softly:

"It's hard for you to understand, Icarus, being friends with a perfect god...it's stressful."

———————————————

Dr. Reed was in a coma of energy disorder. Without his authority, the core database of the spaceship could not be opened, and Merlin could not know what happened in the spaceship before Reed, his fiancée and friends fell into a coma.

So he didn't know that at the same moment when Reed's spacecraft encountered a cosmic ray explosion caused by a solar storm, a probe ship carrying four mysterious alien biological samples crashed into the earth because the spacecraft lost control.

Of course, the fact that Merlin didn't know didn't mean that no one paid attention to this unexpected time. After all, apart from S.H.I.E.L.D., there was also a department on Earth that was responsible for dealing with all matters related to extraterrestrial life and extraterrestrial UFOs.

m.i.b, the brother division of S.H.I.E.L.D.

When the spacecraft of the Life Foundation crashed into the earth, m.i.b monitored the crash, and sent a 2-person special agent team from the Indian branch to the crash site to investigate the situation.

The place where the ship crashed was in Southeast Asia, to be precise, on an uninhabited island in Borneo.

The two Indian-origin m.i.b agents were very dedicated and rushed to the crash site as soon as they received the mission, but their luck was very bad. When the two flying vehicles arrived at the crash site of the probe ship, what they saw was a piece of land. A burning island.

The area of ​​this island is not large, and among the burning trees, some twisted metal plates can still be seen faintly. energy, and in the open space on the other side of the island, there is still a fragmented hull and a third of the spacecraft's head.

This seemed to be a tragic fall, and the raging flames almost burned all the sample data that could be analyzed on the island. Before the fire was extinguished, the two agents had nothing to do.

However, their luck was not particularly bad. About an hour later, the owner of the crash detection ship, the representative of the Life Foundation also arrived at the crash site of the spacecraft by helicopter. At this time, the agents of m.i.b had put out the fire. Final searches are underway on the wreckage of those ships that remain on the island.

"Who are you? Why are you here!"

The representative who was escorted by several bodyguards was not polite. He scolded the two Indian agents:

"The wreckage of this ship is the property of the Life Foundation, you can't take anything away! Stop it, don't move it anymore!"

"It's a pity, man, but your probe ship crashed, started a fire, destroyed everything, and it doesn't look like your probe ship brought back anything of value. Tonight was a waste of time."

An m.i.b agent stood up and shrugged his shoulders at the angry representative of the Life Foundation. His companion put on sunglasses, and took out a silver, something like a large roller pen from his pocket.

In the next second, a white light flashed, and no one would know what happened tonight.

But is it really that simple?

No.

Just as the agents of m.i.b were finishing their mission, a scientific research submarine was leaving the sea area hundreds of kilometers away from the island.

The logo of the Life Foundation is printed on the shell of the submarine, and in the laboratory inside the submarine, there are four large biological cabins side by side. In the biological cabin, the four collected alien biological samples are being slowed down. Slowly wriggling.

Thanks to the specially designed biological cabin, they were not destroyed in the fall.

Several scientists from the Life Foundation are observing these four samples and recording their various data.

The crashed probe ship was originally the property of the Life Foundation. When it completed the final handover with Dr. Reed's spacecraft, the Life Foundation on Earth received the signal from that ship, and they were ready to receive it. Sample preparation.

Later, the spacecraft crashed unexpectedly, and the Life Foundation calculated its landing point immediately, and dispatched the nearest scientific research team to recover the samples.

These scientists were lucky. They found the scattered samples before the M.I.B agents arrived, and took them away. Before leaving, they set a fire and faked the scene of the spacecraft crashing and exploding.

As for the representative of the Life Foundation who appeared at the end...he was just the last link used to win the trust of the authorities.

After all, when acting, you have to play a full set.
