Section 39 Troubles
"Uhh
"It's not going well at all, Boss Butterfly, let me tell you, Uncle Tom is not the opponent of the blood god at all. In the end, it was with Uncle Blade and some potions designed to restrain vampires that we were able to reluctantly kill the blood god. β
Faced with the question of the long legs, before Tom could think about how to answer, the hapless kid of Polaris replied with a gloating face.
"I was afraid of hurting the rest of you, so I didn't force it. Otherwise, you think a small energy barrier can stop me? β
Glaring at Polaris, who was grimacing at him, Tom explained with some weakness. is worthy of being the daughter of Magneto, and an unlucky child like Polaris really can't open a pot.
"Oh, Uncle Tom's energy that protected the blood god almost collapsed..."
In contrast, Flicker is much more well-behaved and cute. But the only thing Tom is not satisfied with is, why does Flicker call him uncle? Call it brother, brother! A good good boy has learned badly from the bear child of Polaris.
Ignoring Tom's threatening eyes, Polaris, whose eyes were dripping, directly opened the topic: "Sister Spirit Butterfly, Sister Dreamer, do you know?" During our trip, we also met the Demon Girl. She also invited us to talk to Magneto and Professor X. However, I didn't expect that these two famous mutant heroes were completely different from what I remembered. β
"Magician? The one who has a very good relationship with Magneto and Professor X? β
Hearing this, not only the long legs, but also the attention of the dreamers who were dealing with the housekeeping of the fishing boat on the side were also attracted to it.
As I said before, because Tom spends most of his day practicing, most of the things on the fishing boat are handled by Long Legs. And as a dreamer of long-legged friends, he naturally took on the role of long-legged deputy.
"What? Do you know the Shapeshifter? β
Tom glanced at the dreamer in surprise, according to the plot of the movie in his previous life, long before the Statue of Liberty incident, the Demonic Girl should have parted ways with the mutant brotherhood and slowly faded out of the sight of all mutants. Why, the new generation of mutants like Long Legs and Dreamers still know about Dreamers.
"Of course you know, the Demonic Girl is also a legend like Magneto and Professor X, okay?" Long Legs nodded as a matter of course, and answered Tom's doubts for his friend:
"At that time, the Witch at the Paris Peace Conference let all our mutants know for the first time that we are not alone in this world, and there are countless compatriots hidden around us."
"Ahh
Tom nodded suddenly, it seems that in this world, the plot of X-Men: Future Reversal has already happened.
"What's the matter with the Shapeshifter's invitation? Magneto: I know, why does Professor X need us to save him too? β
"I'll tell you the eldest sister, here's the thing..."
Before Tom could speak his mouth about the doubts about the long legs, Polaris immediately told Stryker about Stryker's plan to use Magneto to capture Professor X, destroy Xavier's Talent Youth School and X-Men, and then declare war on the mutants of the matchmaker.
"This is the kind of event that will determine the fate of our mutant race, and of course we Watchmen are the ones to do. No, I'm going to have to get our members to prepare.
A few days later, the actions not only determined the future of our mutant race, but also the first time that our watchmen appeared in the field of vision of our fellow mutants. You have to make a good impression on everyone. β
As he spoke, he pulled the Dreamer and Polaris by the long legs, and left the captain's room in a hurry.
As for Tom's acceptance of the Shapeshifter's invitation, Long Legs didn't ask much why. After all, she is a woman who aspires to be the hero of the mutant race. Moreover, in Tom's opinion, compared to Tom's acceptance of the Demon's invitation, Long Legs is more concerned about what their fellow mutants will think of their Warden when they first appear in the eyes of the world.
"Hey, what are you doing with all this nonsense? Let's think about how to continue to improve your strength. A blood god who was stabbed to death by the potion can't do it, how can he be the king and hegemon in this world. β
After clearing the mess of thoughts in his mind, Tom was strangely troubled.
After all, when facing outsiders, he can be hard-mouthed, saying that he is not unable to defeat the blood god, but that he is afraid of hurting his own people by mistake. But what about yourself? Tom couldn't be hard-mouthed, after all, he couldn't lie to himself.
Tom knew very well in his heart that this battle against the blood god, not to mention the mysterious power that protected Deacon Firth when he became the blood god, Tom could not break it. Even after Deacon Firth became a blood god, Tom actually couldn't do anything about the other party.
A certain level of immortality, coupled with the eerie ability to even transform a god into a vampire minion, this combination of abilities, the current Tom simply can't handle.
"Mana, mana, how can I make up for this shortcoming?"
Annoyed as he stood up from the couch, Tom staggered to his embodiment room in deep thought.
If the previous abuse has not been discovered, then this trip, which was originally expected to be a fight against a child, but ended up encountering a boss, undoubtedly exposed Tom's weak mana shortcomings.
You must know that whether it is the Sun Golden Wheel or the Moon Golden Wheel, it is driven by the mana he obtained by devouring relics. Once Tom's mana is exhausted, it is equivalent to his complete loss of combat effectiveness, and the result is too bad.
"Hey, if only I could see something to eat. Don't mention ginseng fruits and peaches or anything, how many pills are in the gossip furnace of Taishang Laojun, and it doesn't take off instantly? β
Sitting on the futon in the embodiment room, Tom once again began to manifest the pearl of the sea. And this time, as usual, it still failed in less than a third. In a short period of time, there is no hope of success at all.
As for ginseng fruits, peaches, and elixirs, Tom really tried to embody them. After all, there is a panacea, and no one wants to eat the stones and bones of a dead Buddha (bhikshu) anymore, right?
The problem is, Tom can't embody these things at all. Peach and ginseng fruit are just that, they are living things that grow in the ground. But what the hell is the elixir? Aren't the ancient elixirs of Zhongguo all made of lead and mercury? What kind of bad luck is it that adds herbs or living things to it?
"Whew, whew... Hey, this won't succeed until the Year of the Monkey. β
As soon as the sequelae of the overdraft of mental power recovered, Tom casually embodied the golden hoop rod in his hand. This can be regarded as a boring move after his mental power is overdrawn, after all, with the magic weapon of merit, he does not consume spiritual power.
"Huh? Is this... β
However, today, unlike the past, where even the light of embodiment could not be aggregated, he manifested it at will, and he really embodied a little stick of the golden hoop stick... Skin?
"When will I have merit?"
Looking at the fading golden light on the floor, Tom was momentarily stunned.
"Is it? No way? But without me, wouldn't the Blood God have been killed by the Blade Warriors? β
Then, Tom instantly thought of Deacon Firth, who had just been punctured by the potion. From the time traveled to the present, if there is one thing that can make Tom gain merit, then it is undoubtedly the only one.
After all, if Deacon Firth's plan succeeds, then there will be more humans and mutants to die on Earth. The only problem is that it wouldn't have happened without Tom's involvement. Why did Tom get merit for something that was not destined to happen?
"So, even the will of the world in this world, or the long river of time, is not sure what will happen in the future?"
From the matter of merit and blood god, Tom instantly thought of something even more terrifying, that isβthe uncertainty of the future.
"If that's the case, it's too much of a problem. The plot in the movie of my previous life does not necessarily happen, so it is equivalent to the possibility that I may lose the ability to travel through the prophetic sense.
However, this also means that I can make merit by participating in the Battle of New York and the Battle of Sokovia. If that's the case, don't say that a golden hoop stick is the first merit treasure of the day after tomorrow - the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda is not a dream.
Is this good or bad for me? β
The future is not certain, which means that there is no Bronze Dragon in World of Warcraft in this world, and they will go back from the future to the past and ensure that nothing changes. In other words, the will of the world will not forcibly return everything to "normal" development according to a given future.
In that case, the impact will be too great. After all, nothing is impossible. Regardless of the impact of Tom as a traverser, even if things are allowed to develop freely, it may be very different from the plot that Tom saw in his previous life. What's more, Tom has traveled so far and has pushed countless hands on the future development of this world.
"So, after losing the foreknowledge of the development of this world through the plot of the movie in my previous life, how can I gain a foothold in this world? Or should I find a way to induce the world to follow the plot of the movie in my previous life? Ensuring that my prophetic abilities are not lost? β
After dinner, Tom went back to his bedroom, still hesitating to think about it.
"Tom, I'm asking you, do I look good in this armor? Are you listening to me? β
