At first, it was just a brown tentacle, slowly poking out of the dark vortex in the rift of another dimension.

In an instant, a thick brown tentacle tens of meters long passed through the crack and reached into the bottom of the sea. Rows of white barbs are scattered across the surface of the brown tentacles. Stout tentacles curled around the edge of the crack, trying to hold the crack wider.

Immediately afterward, several brown tentacles of the same size entered this side of the extradimensional rift. Subsequently, there is the main part of this behemoth.

A huge head, covered with black barbs under the jaw, two rows of jagged sharp teeth in the mouth bite together, a huge sea-blue vertical eye on the forehead occupies a tenth of the face, and on either side of the huge eye are four eyes of different sizes.

Accompanying the appearance of this monster with an overall length of 100 meters was an incomparably huge spiritual force.

As soon as this spiritual power appeared, it immediately spread, rapidly expanding the mental control that originally affected the scope of the moon beyond the galaxy, and then swept into the universe, and all the nine realms under Asgard were affected by this influence.

Within the Nine Realms, the same voice echoed in the minds of countless people: "I am Longleg Lotus, the ruler of the sea!" Listen to me, be my servants, and give your lives for me. ”

As the long-legged Lotus completely descended on the bottom of the sea, the extradimensional rift behind it suddenly shrank rapidly and visibly to the naked eye. The glass-shattering walls of the dimension are repairing themselves. In the blink of an eye, the extradimensional rift shrank to the point where it was almost invisible.

Calm has returned to the bottom of the sea.

Compared with the terrifying huge body of the long-legged Lotus, the little body of the short-legged Lotus was so inconspicuous in front of him.

The two are communicating on a spiritual level.

"My doppelganger, you're doing a great job. Nothing can stop us now. ”

"I deceived the host."

"Interesting, you're sympathizing with him."

"He's not like us."

"Yes, he's just a tool. Now, he's done his job. ”

"No, he's a man who doesn't give in easily. And the potential is limitless. ”

Long-legged Lotus said lightly: "My doppelganger, your mission has been completed, and there is no need to exist." ”

I saw that the figure of the short-legged Lotus suddenly turned into a ball of light, and in a blink of an eye, it was thrown into the biggest eyes of the long-legged Lotus. The memories of the short-legged Lotus were immediately shared and fused by the long-legged Rotus.

After a while, Long-legged Lotus muttered, "Interesting......"

Christina sent a message: "Master, Rotus has been found." But it's getting bigger! ”

When Luke heard this, his heart shook.

He looked at Wanda, who was tightly wrapped in crimson chaotic magical energy, and hesitated slightly. He wanted to rush to see Lotus immediately. But he couldn't rest assured that Wanda.

"I'm fine." Wanda's voice came out of the crimson energy cocoon. She looked calm: "I don't know what's going on. It's my magic! It's trying to protect me uncontrollably. I'm fine, though. ”

Luke knew that this was due to the accident caused by Lotus.

At this time, he didn't know that the entire world, and even the people of the Nine Realms, had been mentally controlled by Lotus.

"I'll be back soon." Luke didn't have a mother-in-law either, and immediately said to Wanda.

"Hmm." Wanda nodded at him.

When the long-legged Lotus appeared on the surface of the sea, it was difficult for his hundred-meter-old body to go unnoticed under satellite surveillance.

However, there are very few people on earth who are still awake at this time.

On the way, Luke learns from Christina about how serious the situation really is.

When Luke arrived, the huge body of the long-legged Lotus was rising from under the surface of the sea, raising waves up to 100 meters high, and the curtain of water looked like a waterfall from afar.

"Lotus!" Luke arrived on a Warlord.

Long-legged Lotus raised his head, and his five eyes stared at the mecha in the air: "You are the host?" ”

“…… It's me. Luke's face froze slightly, "You are ...... Long-legged Lotus? ”

"I must thank you, young man. Your efforts will not be unrewarded, and when all the apostles have been accomplished, you will have a place in the new world. Long-legged Lotus said in a calm voice.

Luke was silent for a moment.

Long-legged Lotus continued, "Come here, help me expand the interdimensional rift. The dimensional wall is repairing itself, and for the time being, I am the only one who has succeeded in descending into this world. We're going to have to re-widen the crack before it closes completely. ”

Luke didn't move.

In front of me is the long-legged Lotus, the true Eighth Apostle. So, where is the short-legged Lotus? Luke already had the answer in his mind.

Luke asked in a deep voice, "I want to know, why did the apostles invade this world?" ”

"Why?" Long-legged Lotus looked at Luke, "To survive." ”

"Survival? What would the apostles do next? ”

"You're asking what we're going to do with the world in order to survive, aren't you?" Long-legged Lotus asked suddenly.

Luke frowned slightly.

"Yes, that's your expression." Long-legged Lotus snorted in displeasure and said, "I once asked you, am I evil?" I was transferred to the Celestial Veil Behemoth, far from the ocean where I lived. As a last resort, I mentally controlled the GBL cultists and built a temple on me to shield me from the sun. I just want to survive. ”

Long-legged Lotus's voice turned cold: "But you, 'warriors', you don't know right from wrong, but at the instigation of Herder, you came and killed me. ”

Luke was silent again, speechless.

Every apostle in the DNF ended in tragedy, and Lotus was just one of them. The other apostles had the same experience to a greater or lesser extent. Of course, this is all the conspiracy of the Second Apostle Held, but Held's starting point is also to restore her own world, the planet Terra.

Each player in the game plays the role of a warrior, a pawn at the mercy of Herder. Each of the Apostles killed by the players was a victim of Herder's overall plan.

In the past, while playing, Luke was sympathetic to the Apostles. But that's just the game setting.

Now that the matter was really in front of him, he found himself suddenly at a loss, unable to judge who was right and who was wrong.

"Who is evil? It seems to me that it is you who are evil! Stupid mortals! Your stupidity, indiscriminately, is evil! Now, once again, you want to be my enemy? ”

Long-legged Lotus had five ocean-blue eyes, all staring at Luke.

In the face of Rotus's questioning, Luke shook his head and said, "I never wanted to be hostile to the apostles, but I also didn't want this world to be destroyed. ”

"There's no such thing as the best of both worlds, young man." Long-legged Lotus said lightly.

Luke smiled wryly, how could he not know.

There are two choices in front of him, no matter which one he chooses, the ending will be a tragedy.

Either he sides with the Apostles and is the enemy of the entire Marvel world and helps all the Apostles survive in the Marvel world. This is undoubtedly extremely difficult, and when it is realized, it is bound to bring great damage.

Either he sided with the Marvel crowd and turned against the Thirteen Apostles, using the methods left to him by the short-legged Lotus to try to stop the further invasion of the Apostles. In this way, the world can be saved.

However, was this fair to the apostles?

As Long-legged Lotus said, the apostles just wanted to survive. Although it is unclear what is going on in the DNF world, the Apostles have tried to come here at the cost of crossing the dimensional barrier. However, any action based on survival should not be defined as an evil party.

If humans kill animals in order to survive, are they evil?

If one day, a higher being exterminated all mankind in order to survive, would it be evil?

The apostles were also only there to survive.

"I'm curious what you'll choose. Will it become our enemy, or will it become their enemy? Long-legged Lotus looked at Luke with interest, "Choose carefully, young man. Your choices will bring the opposite fate to this world. ”

Under the gaze of Long-legged Lotus, Luke groaned for a long time. Luke's eyes flickered, his brow furrowed at times, slackened, as if he was weighing and struggling to make this final decision.

But gradually, Luke seemed to suddenly understand something, and there was no more hesitation and hesitation in his eyes.

In its place, there is a resolute determination!

Just as Long-legged Lotus was about to get impatient, he saw Luke suddenly shake his head.

"I choose...... The third option. Luke said resolutely.

"There is no third option." Long-legged Lotus said coldly: "Either you choose to continue to help us, I promise, the apostle will give you everything you want in the future." Either you are on the side of your kind, and then you and our apostles are enemies, and I will kill you now. ”

Luke still shook his head: "Don't forget, I'm a time-traveler. There is a saying that you may not have heard: What is the difference between a traverser who does not want to change his fate and a salted fish? ”

"Change your fate?" Long-legged Lotus was slightly stunned.

Luke suddenly laughed, "I can't disgrace the army of traversers." I believe that there must be some kind of compromise that would allow the apostles to live peacefully with this world. That's my choice! ”

"Young man, you are too whimsical!"

Long-legged Lotus scoffed at Luke's optimism, and said, "You think we didn't think about it? Anderne, the Eater of Fire, and Diregi, the Black Plague, are threats in their own right. Andersen was going to devour the energy until he ate all the worlds, and then he would starve to death in the Void. And Diriji is the root of all diseases, spreading plagues all the time, turning all living things around it into dust. Even I hate it. ”

"We are the embodiment of the dark side of Carloso. After countless reincarnations, it has been proven that the apostles cannot coexist with the world around them, and this result has never changed. I'm tired of it. ”

"Then start with me!"

Luke clenched his fists at once, his eyes were unwavering, and the long-lost soul of the middle two began to burn. I only heard him snort disdainfully: "Huh, fate? Fate is a little! Master, I've never believed in such a thing as fate! Leave the fate of the apostles to me to rewrite for you! ”

Looking at Luke, who looked serious and didn't look like a joke at all, Long-legged Lotus had surprise written in his eyes. Then it was silent for a long time.

After a while, Long-legged Lotus suddenly laughed and said, "Your tone sounds as big as Tyrannosaurus King Bakar." Want to rewrite destiny? Well, young man, my doppelganger is right, you are a person who does not want to give in easily. I appreciate you! ”

"You agree?" Luke was a little happy, he didn't expect to be able to convince the Eighth Apostle.

Long-legged Lotus fixed his gaze on Luke, "I'm looking forward to the world you described. Well, I'll give you a chance. In my world, you'll stay awake. ”

"Your world? Staying awake? Luke was stunned.

"Young man, go and prove that you are right. But until then, none of what you say changes anything. Long-legged Rotes' tone regained his composure and indifference, and said, "Widening the rift in another dimension will not stop because of you. If you dare to thwart me, I will not hesitate to kill you immediately! ”

Luke's heart sank, and he frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Long-legged Lotus said lightly: "To widen the rift in another dimension, it is necessary to imprint the name of the apostle deeply on the dimensional wall of this world. I will bring more apostles to this world full of vitality and hope. I'm just a pathfinder and a pioneer. ”

As it spoke, Luke suddenly felt that everything in front of him was spinning in a vacuum, and the world seemed to be turned upside down in an instant.

The surrounding scenery blurred for a moment, and the ocean gradually disappeared before his eyes. The next moment, Luke was surprised to find himself in a strange place.

At his feet is land. He was in a square, to be exact. The surrounding landscape is both strange and somewhat familiar. Between the buildings, pedestrians walk through the square in twos and threes.

Why did you suddenly come here?

Luke looked around in confusion, and suddenly, his gaze was fixed on a building, unable to take his eyes off it.

It is a 50-storey skyscraper, and on one side of the wall, a huge "banner" hangs impressively. Or rather, where there should have been a huge banner, a huge flag with a red background was hung.

Looking at this red-background flag, Luke couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and his heart was extremely stunned and confused. He muttered, "Here...... What the hell is this place? ”

That's a nazi***.

Then he let go of his gaze, and as far as the eye could see, he saw that there were many skyscrapers with this kind of red background Nazi flag.

On top of that, Luke soon discovers another symbol that he is all too familiar with: the Hydra logo.

It's just that there are a few subtle changes to the logos.

The original image of the skeleton and tentacles of the hydra has been transformed into an octopus with hideous barbs on its tentacles......
