"He... That's it..."

In the ruins of the Trident Building, a bad premonition rose in Steve's heart the moment he saw Raven unconscious.

The captain took a step forward without restraint, and he looked at the things that Carol held in his hands.

A blank flash flashed in his eyes, followed by irrepressible pain and shock.

"Merlin, how could he be... Just dead like that? ”

The captain looked blankly at Clark, who was also stunned beside him.

He said:

"You've seen it with your own eyes, we've all seen it, we've all felt it with our own eyes, he's so strong, he's stronger than anything else, how can it be like this..."

"No matter how strong a person is, there are enemies that cannot be solved."

Beside the captain and Superman, Wonder Woman, who was blasted out by Merlin with a crimson crow, rubbed her wrist that still hurt, while looking at the things that Merlin left behind.

She and Merlin didn't know each other very well.

But at least they have fought side by side together, and they have faced ancient evil gods together.

Just now, Merlin saved the world with his own hands.

Again.

"Merlin has met a terrible opponent, right?"

Wonder Woman looked up at Carol and asked:

"Can you tell us who it is?"

Carol didn't answer, she's not stupid.

In this situation, rashly saying Odin's name will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.

But seeing Merlin die at the hands of Odin, and seeing his lover die in his arms, said that Carol had no anger in her heart at all...

That's obviously impossible.

She just couldn't be as decisive as Elsa.

Maybe...

Maybe in terms of love, she did lose to Elsa.

But she didn't hold a grudge.

A woman who can give up everything for Merlin, she really can't hate.

Carol could feel the unreal but real aura around her, one with Odin.

She turned her head to look at Thor, who was standing to the side, his face pale.

Thor, the son of the God King, may have sensed something from the shimmer of aura that was about to dissipate from those broken weapons.

His already weak face shone with a touch of self-blame and guilt.

And Carol's eye change when she looks at Thor is brief, but it can't hide it from some people with keen senses, such as...

A little wolf girl who has been watching her.

"Ahh

Laura let out a scream, her claws popping out, gritting her teeth like a truly monstrous wolf cub, and lunging at Thor.

Thor has lost his powers, and he is now just an ordinary person.

He didn't even notice Laura's surprise attack, and he didn't react until Laura's claws were about to pierce his chest.

"Bang"

A hand pressed Laura.

The little wolf girl who attacked with all her strength easily pressed in place.

Laura looked up viciously and saw a calm Carol looking at her.

"Merlin wouldn't want to see you do that..."

Carol said to Laura:

"It's none of his business, don't be angry, kid."

"Die!"

As Carol held Laura down, a sharper, sob-like hiss rang out on Thor's other side.

Lorna, whose eyes were red, spread her hands, her long green hair fluttering behind her head, and all the metal in the ruins was drawn under the uncontrolled magnetic vibration.

The weapons worn by the heroes, the steel twisted in the ruins, were suspended into the air as if they had been breathed into life.

And in the roar of Lorna's gritted teeth, he smashed at the overwhelmed Thor from all directions.

No one expected Lorna to shoot so quickly and so powerfully.

Before several heroines who tried to hold her could get close to Lorna, they were knocked out by the burst of magnetism.

The quick-eyed captain quickly retreated as soon as he dragged Thor, and several sharp weapons slammed into Thor's place in the next second.

The pain of losing her brother echoed in Lorna's heart, and the pain sparked her potential, making her moment of control magnetic exploding.

Even Thor's hammer, which was smashed on the ground, hummed endlessly in the magnetic shock.

"Bang"

A terrifying weapon that rains down from the sky smashes into Clark's body, and Superman shields Thor with his body.

He shouted to Lorna:

"Don't do it! Lorna. ”

"He's right, don't do it!"

With a flick of Carol's finger, a burst of cosmic light erupted from the woman's finger and spread out in the form of an aura, forcibly crushing the metal controlled by Lona.

She flashed to Lorna's side like a light.

Her fingers were on the green-haired, hot-tempered girl, suppressing her surging magnetism.

She said:

"Merlin doesn't want you to do that!"

"Leave it alone! I don't care about you! ”

Lorna had tears on her face, and the girl cried out in pain:

"Why is he still alive!"

"I don't have a brother anymore! We don't have a brother anymore... I'm going to kill him! Get out of the way! ”

"Cry, child."

Carol had her eyes closed, tears in the corners of her eyes, and the pain of losing Merlin in her heart was no less than that of these children,

She hugged Laura, opened her arms and took Lorna in her arms.

She let the little wolf girl's paws slide over her body, and in the sparks she hugged the two children tightly, and she said in a sad voice:

"Your brother... Merlin, before he left, asked me to take care of you. ”

"Whether you like it or not, from today onwards, I will be your guardian..."

"I won't let anyone hurt you, I swear."

Just when Carol stopped the two kids from doing stupid things.

On the other side, in the crowd, a spirit butterfly with a katana on his hand had a wooden face.

Her expression was indifferent, and her movements rudely pushed aside the lively guys, crimson energy stretching behind her.

Between the glittering wings of light that were as large as butterflies, the cold blade suddenly unsheathed.

"Bell"

Butterfly's knife was just an inch away from decapitating Thor.

But it was eventually blocked.

The captain held his shield and blocked the blade that the Butterfly had slashed off, and Clark turned around, and with a swing of his wrist, the blade was snatched down.

The spirit butterfly, whose face was blank, but whose eyes shone with murderous intent, was also dragged back by several X-Men who rushed up.

He looked at the cool beauty with purple hair in front of him, and he recognized it as an X-Men.

But he didn't know that she was going to take Thor's life as well.

Could it be that this is also Merlin's...

"Leave it to us."

Emma, the white queen who came late and didn't catch up with the big battle, apologized and said to the captain:

"The relationship between Butterflies and Merlin... It's a little complicated, in short, trust us, she doesn't mean anything. ”

"Hmm."

The captain nodded heavily, and he spoke a few words to the Divine Man, and the cloak was quickly retrieved, sending Thor to safety with a guilty face.

Enough of today's moths.

Just stop staining the blood of innocents.

Clark looked at Carol, who had taken the children out of the square, and he walked over to Batman, who was standing at the edge of the crowd, and he was standing with Batman.

He said:

"You wanted to kill Thor too, didn't you?"

"Hmm."

Bruce snorted, didn't answer, didn't deny.

"I felt a flash of murderous intent."

Looking at the city in the distance, Clark said:

"I haven't seen you before, but Merlin's ability to recruit you into the Avengers without us means that he must trust you and that you are friends with him?"

"No, not friends."

Batman was silent for a moment, he let out a long sigh and said in a hoarse tone:

"It's a brother."

"No wonder."

Clark shook his head, and he just stood there as quiet as a pillar.

Moments later, Batman said to him:

"Someone is calling you, the captain is calling the Avengers, aren't you going?"

"What about you?"

Clark says:

"You're also an Avenger, aren't you going?"

"Not anymore."

Bruce said in a calm voice:

"I didn't come here for you to guess, I came here desperately because Merlin pleaded with me, he needed me..."

"I can't refuse the call of my brother, that's all."

"Avenger, hehe."

Batman let out a chuckle of unknown significance.

Beside him, Clark also reached out and took his ID from Krypton's combat suit, which he looked at.

After a few seconds, he dropped the thing at his feet.

This action was seen by the captain behind him, which also caused the captain's raised hand to stop in the air.

Steve looked at Clark's back with a complicated look in his eyes.

Eventually, he shook his head and turned to leave.

Clark could naturally feel the captain's departure, but he was tired at the moment, and he didn't want to pay attention to those things.

His relationship with Merlin has also surpassed that of ordinary friends.

Perhaps, they can also be called brothers with each other.

"You know what? Batman. ”

Clark looked at the city ahead and said to the people around him:

"When I first came here, I thought I wouldn't be lonely in a city of millions of people."

"But no, when you're in it, you feel more lonely... People don't have the same feelings..."

"Unless you have friends, family, lovers... I lost a friend, a brother, and I'm saddened today. ”

"What does this have to do with me?"

Batman said unmoved:

"We're just strangers, we don't have anything to do with other than I've beaten you up before, and I'm not interested in making friends right now."

"Merlin!"

Clark says:

"We have mutual friends, and if Merlin can trust you and entrust everything to you, then I think I can too..."

"Hey, don't think so highly of yourself."

Batman scoffed, and he turned around and walked towards his Batmobile without looking back.

He said to Clark behind him:

"Why do you think you are as important as Merlin is to me? Let's go home..."

"I'm going home too."

"Smack"

Something was thrown by Batman, and Clark took it in his hand, revealing that it was a symbiote suit in a box.

"I don't need it anymore."

Bruce opened the car door and got into the Batmobile, where he said to Clark:

"Give it back for me, I don't want to have anything to do with the people who indirectly killed my brother..."

"But you're not bad, it looks like you still have some conscience..."

"Ask for more blessings."

"Boom"

With the roar of the Batmobile, the car quickly changed shape and reassembled into a black Batfighter, carrying Bruce into the night sky.

Clark watched Batman leave, and he entrusted the Divine Power Man, handed the symbiote suit in his hand to Steve, and then rushed into the sky as well.

In less than 1 minute, I was back at my doorstep.

Clark changed his clothes, then reached out and knocked on the door.

A moment later, a vigilant Louise opened the door, her face full of surprise when she saw Clarke, and then quickly turned into dissatisfaction.

She crossed her waist and said to Clark:

"Where have you been? You won't answer my call! You don't tell me, do you know that I have..."

"Huh"

The next moment, a silent Clark reached out and hugged Louise, hugging it tightly.

Louise's grumbling was interrupted, and the clever woman could sense her boyfriend's sadness.

Her face became gentle, and she reached out, hugged Clark, and patted him on the back.

"What's wrong?"

Louise asked softly.

"I... I lost a good friend, a brother..."

In front of the most trusted person, Clark no longer concealed his pain, and the steely man said in a hoarse voice:

"I should have saved him, I should have gone with him... I lost him..."

Louise didn't know how to comfort her boyfriend.

She could only hold him harder.

Under the gentle light, the two hugged each other and enjoyed this hard-won peace.

"Louise..."

"Huh?"

"We... Get married, I don't want to wait..."

———————————

"Bang, bang"

A knock on the door rang out in the Queens apartment, and a worried-looking May opened the door.

She saw a strange woman standing in front of her house.

Behind her, Lorna and Laura were standing, with Raven in her arms and Matt and Daisy following her.

The children had traces of crying on their faces.

And Merlin, her brother, who was supposed to come back with these children, is nowhere to be seen.

Mei's expression changed.

A flash of sadness flashed in her eyes.

She covered her mouth with her fingers and took a step back, tears welling up from Mei's eyes, and she let out a whimpering sound.

She leaned against the wall and fell to the ground down the wall.

She didn't even dare to cry, little Peter had just fallen asleep, and Ben had already rested.

She didn't want to wake them up.

I don't want to tell them bad news.

Merlin, her only remaining relative...

I probably won't be back tonight...

PS：

The timing is set incorrectly, and the one that is sent more in the morning should be tomorrow.

But it doesn't affect the plot, so it's a plus.

Wait until the editor goes to work and then apply for a change... I seriously suspect I got dizzy yesterday...
