49. Go Home【19/40】
"I'm going back to meet my younger siblings, my loved ones...I'm not asking you..."
"So, you better not be my way..."
"Go away!"
"I only say it once!"
On the pier surrounded by groups, Merlin dropped his declaration in a cold tone.
He took a step forward, seemingly ignoring Superman in front of him, and Thor and Iron Man standing in the air.
This ignorance is very frustrating...
But no one expressed dissatisfaction.
Even if Merlin has become visibly weak, even if he needs to walk with a cane, he is still Merlin.
He is still a person who cannot be underestimated at any time.
"I have to take you..."
Clark gritted his teeth, he clenched his fist:
"If you continue to persist in your obsession, then I will wake you up!"
Superman roared, his eyes full of worry and stubbornness.
Merlin can no longer be injured, and he will not allow Merlin to be injured again.
Merlin had protected him, taught him, and accompanied him.
They had fought together, they had lived through mortal danger together, they had triumphed against mighty foes together.
This is a friendship between men, pure and formidable.
Clark walked quickly towards Merlin, it seemed that he was about to use force.
"Stupid choice."
Merlin said softly.
He didn't stop moving, he continued to move forward.
Just before Superman's waving hand was about to touch Merlin's collar, under the quiet sea of the pier, a roar suddenly broke out.
The heavy sea water opened up with the sound of the explosion as if hit by a shell.
The heavy sea water that was thrown into the sky did not fall, but rotated and floated under the strange force.
And in the surging water, a slender figure roared towards Clark.
In the fluttering of blond hair, she leaped over Merlin's body like a phantom, and then raised her fist, smashing everything at Clark.
Superman's reaction is also extremely fast.
He clenched his fist and blasted it out, fighting with the slender fist.
"boom"
Between the collision of huge forces, the ground shook and dust flew up.
A shock wave caused by the impact blows outward in a ring shape, making Merlin's windbreaker whirr.
The two fighting men retreated at the same time, Clark's body was blasted into the rear, his feet pierced the ground, plowing a deep, masonry-spattered nick in the ground.
He turned to look at Merlin.
The latter didn't seem to care about the engagement at all.
Leaning on a cane, he continued to move forward slowly amidst the flying dust, as if he hadn't seen this scene at all.
"Stop!"
Clark growled and rushed towards Merlin.
But in the next second, the figure suspended in mid-air stubbornly stood between him and Merlin.
It was a girl.
Looks like 20 years old at most.
She and Clark are wearing the same blue Kryptonian combat uniform, but instead of pants, she wears a red skirt instead.
She also has an s logo on her chest, which is the crest of the Al family.
Represents "hope" in Kryptonian.
The blonde girl clenched her fists, as if she was floating, and fell from mid-air into the cracked ground. She was slender in front of Clark, looking like a wall.
She looked up, and the cheek was 6 points similar to Clark's.
The blue eyes looked at Clark, and she said:
"younger brother..."
"I finally found you..."
Clark's expression changed.
He could feel that the girl in front of him was adapting to the world every second under the sunlight, and getting stronger every second.
Just like his own state.
Plus what she just said...
This, is this another Kryptonian?
And is it his own relatives?
But why is she on Merlin's side...
There was a touch of excitement and joy floating in Clark's heart. Although he had integrated into this world, he was still lonely.
That is the loneliness in the blood.
He has always been alive as the last Kryptonian, but now a relative suddenly fell from the sky, which made Clark really want to stop fighting and have a good chat with her.
But he can't.
Because Merlin is still in danger.
"Step aside!"
Clark said in a low voice.
"No, I refuse."
The Kryptonian girl flexed her wrists, and she said:
"You are not normal, brother...It is not Merlin who needs treatment and help now, but you..."
"Then again, the sun on this planet is really strange, and I feel empowered."
The girl shook her shoulders, and she said to Clark:
"You too, right?"
"But too much sun can make you reckless, like you are now."
"My friend asked me to protect Merlin, if you want to catch him, you must defeat me first!"
The next moment, the two supermen charged at the same time.
Together they grappled, with every punch crushing hills and every kick tearing the earth apart.
It's almost like two gods are fighting.
"boom"
With thunder splashing everywhere, Thor landed in front of Merlin's eyes. He raised his hammer and made a stop motion.
He said:
"Stop! Merlin!"
"We want to help you..."
"Don't help!"
Merlin said calmly:
"And, get out of the way!"
"boom"
Thor swung Mjolnir, and a thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck the ground in front of Merlin's eyes, representing Thor's answer.
The Asgardian stared at the battle scene behind Merlin, and he said to Merlin:
"I don't know where you got the second Kryptonian, but I guess you can't get an Asgardian to stop me..."
"Merlin, stop, I don't want to fight with you."
"No one wants to fight you."
Merlin looked at the ground that was shattered by lightning, he took a step forward, and said:
"Of course I can't find an Asgardian as strong as you."
"But there are so many ways to stop you..."
"crash"
The heavy sea water swirled crazily at the pier, as if responding to Merlin's will to go home.
While the sea water roared and rolled, two figures appeared above the tumbling waves.
Namor stood in the tide, holding a silver trident in his hand, just like the god of the sea in mythology.
He raised his hand, and the more terrifying waves shaped into a tide of more than ten meters high, just like a giant fist waved by an angry ocean, smashing hard on the pier in front of him.
Amid the thunderous tide, the silver trident in Namor's hand spun around.
Among them, the divine power belonging to Poseidon was released, turned into a dazzling thunder, tore through the air, and hit Thor with a howl.
That lightning was absorbed by Thor's Hammer.
But Thor was also knocked back a few steps.
"boom"
Namor jumped up from the waves and hit Merlin's side like a meteor.
He put the silver trident horizontally, looked at Thor in front of him, and said:
"The raven is coming home..."
"Nobody can stop him! I said it!"
"boom"
Another Atlantean standing above the tide also jumped into the sky, and the young Arthur also wanted to make a handsome appearance like his cousin.
But he can't fly like Namor, so his landing point is still some distance away from Merlin.
Holding the golden trident, the young man sprinted a few steps, guarding Merlin's other side.
He looked at the iron man who fell to the ground, and he clasped the weapon in his hand. The guy in the steel tank should be his opponent.
But just as Arthur was about to rush out, Merlin reached out and stopped the reckless young man.
He said:
"Don't mind him, he won't be trouble."
"Hello!"
Tony's dissatisfied voice sounded on the pier, Iron Man raised his arms, and the laser cannon aimed at Merlin, he said:
"I can hear you whispering, don't underestimate me, Merlin!"
"I never underestimated you."
Merlin didn't even look at Tony. He leaned on a cane and led Arthur forward. He said:
"But you really aren't a threat."
"asshole!"
Iron Man was outraged by the disregard.
He was about to teach Merlin a lesson, but the moment he raised his arm, he was about to throw the laser cannon.
A large, red "error" sign appeared on the projection in front of him.
Just like a program error, all the modules of the Iron Man Armor went offline one by one.
The laser cannons ready to fire in his hands also dimmed at this moment.
It's like the shutdown button of a precision machine has been pressed.
"Jarvis!"
Inside the completely dimmed armor, Tony was shocked and angry, he shouted:
"How is this going?"
"System error, sir."
Jarvis' panicked voice also sounded in Thor's ears:
"Super Mark's combat system is suspected to be invaded by some kind of virus. They have found a loophole in the system you set. It is recommended to leave the battlefield immediately and carry out maintenance..."
"Hiss... can you hear... hiss... go... home!"
Another example of strong electromagnetic interference, even Jarvis' voice became intermittent.
Tony panicked.
He's not like the other Avengers.
At least at this moment, without the battle armor, he lost all his strength.
"Well, the lights are out."
While protecting Merlin towards the exit of the pier, Arthur looked curiously at the frozen Iron Man.
Several energy rings on the armor were extinguished at this moment, just like the real lights.
Behind him, the war between Superman and Supergirl, Thor and Poseidon is in full swing. They are all evenly matched guys, and it is too difficult to tell the winner.
In front of Arthur, those cold-faced tyrants had clenched their fists and were ready to fight.
They will not show mercy to Merlin.
"See them?"
Merlin walked forward leaning on a cane, and said to Arthur beside him:
"That's a group of poor people, the biological weapons whose minds have been wiped out, can only be bound by the incomplete souls and cannot rest in peace..."
"In every tyrant's body, there is a howling remnant soul."
"Kill them, Arthur."
Merlin said coldly:
"Don't feel guilty, it's setting them free, it's doing good..."
"swish"
Arthur waved the heavy vibrating gold trident in a circle, and he was not afraid of the more than 40 tyrants in front of him.
Maybe on land, these guys can cause him some trouble, but now the battlefield is so close to the sea...
This little Poseidon has more than 100 ways to kill these pathetic guys easily.
"But uncle..."
Arthur stared at the tyrant in front of him, and behind the tyrant, the hundreds of heavily armed Hydra soldiers.
They held pulse guns, and placed various heavy weapons on the line of defense composed of vehicles.
Maybe it wasn't a problem at all when Merlin was in his prime, but now Merlin's situation is very bad.
"Maybe I should protect you all the way out."
Arthur tactfully said to Merlin:
"I didn't mean to underestimate you, Uncle, but now..."
"You're just underestimating me, Arthur, you little bastard."
Merlin smiled lightly and shook his head, he said:
"Go and deal with the tyrant, after I leave, you, Namor and Kara can leave..."
"You have helped me a lot, and I can handle the next thing by myself."
"Don't underestimate old people, my poor nephew."
Merlin reached out and patted Arthur on the shoulder, and he said as if saying goodbye:
"Namor is still a good brother, but if he is going to do something dangerous, you'd better not go with him..."
"There is an extreme and stubborn part in his thinking, as well as his mutant identity, which dooms Namor's life will not be smooth sailing."
"I know."
Arthur nodded. Holding the golden trident, he took a few steps forward and said to Merlin behind him:
"Come on, uncle."
"Nobody can stop you, I promise!"
"Um."
Merlin nodded, and he continued to move forward.
The tyrants got their orders, and the grim bioweapons roared at Merlin like forty beasts unleashed.
But at the moment when the first tyrant rushed out, the heavy trident roared and flew over.
Just like a big flag, it knocked down the tyrant to the ground, and then nailed it firmly to the ground.
Arthur raised his hands, and while roaring, the sea water behind him roared towards him.
Except where Merlin was, the turbulent sea almost swallowed up all the tyrants in an instant.
In the sea, Arthur let out an excited battle cry. The young man clenched his fists and smashed a tyrant's head with one punch.
Then grabbing its arm, swung it like a warhammer, and smashed the other Tyrant into the ground.
Surrounded by sea water, he, like Namor, is almost invincible!
After all, they share the same blood...
"aim!"
Seeing that Merlin got rid of the threat of the tyrant and walked out of the dock.
Before his eyes, the commander of HYDRA raised his arm, and Merlin was targeted by more than 300 pulse guns from all directions.
Perhaps in the next moment, he will be crushed by the high-voltage rays ejected.
But just before the commander was about to give the order to fire, a white figure appeared from behind him like a ghost,
Amidst the sound of the Hidden Blade's spring, the sharp weapon pierced through the spine silently and went straight into the mind.
This seems to be a signal...
In the next second, dozens of assassins in white appeared in all directions of the position.
They had already looked for a good target, and the moment they appeared, they started killing wildly and silently.
In less than a second, nearly one-third of the more than 300 Hydras were lost.
Between the surge of blood and the screams and roars, two slender figures appeared behind Merlin, one on the left and the other on the right.
"What a mess, Merlin."
Thalia, who was wearing an assassin's robe and a hood, said in a teasing voice:
"If we had come a little later, we would probably have seen the most failed scene in your life..."
"What are you talking about?"
The symbiote on Merlin's body made a gurgling sound at this moment, and the black windbreaker quickly changed its shape and color, and soon, Merlin also put on these assassin-like robes.
But without the hood.
Looking at the line of defense that was easily defeated by the Assassin Brotherhood in front of him, he said softly:
"Brotherhood is never late, just as justice is never absent."
"swish"
The high-ranking assassin Victoria drew out the long sword behind her back, and she took a step forward to block Merlin.
She bent down slightly and made a "please" gesture, she said:
"Grandmaster..."
"Go ahead."
"No one can stop you anymore..."
