Zhang Yilu: It is yourself who is afraid
The roaring wind swept away the turf, and with the continuous and rapid sound of bells, the chaotic and furious blades of the timeline were rolling towards Merlin and the others' carriages! And just then, Merlin saw through his open magic eye that there was another fiery red mark on the far horizon, and a spear-sharp pointer was thrown in their direction!
The carriage jolted violently under the sudden wind, and a large amount of flying sand crashed against the surface of the carriage, making a Caracalla sound, and almost all the children present screamed in horror. Plylius was also panicked for a moment, and only felt that there was a fire burning in his heart; Sheldon frowned, trying to instruct the children to be quiet, only to find that Merlin had suddenly changed to the same state he had just been when he had just come out of the impregnation pod.
"No...... No! Merlin blinked, and hurriedly tried to hide his abnormality, but the current situation was too strange, "No ......"
"How...... What's wrong? Sheldon hadn't been to the Land of Dusk, let alone seen such a situation, "Did you see anything?" ”
Alan grabbed Noelle's hand and quietly looked at the scenery outside the window, his face was not very good: "There should be something coming...... Noelle, don't panic, you're my maid, and nothing will hurt you. ”
The Link trio, like the other kids, squeezed each other's bodies and screamed, except for Bruce, who wrapped his villain book tightly in his hand in the chaos to avoid being broken.
The nearer popping sound in the sky was already a sign that the needle was being thrown towards them!
"Daddy...... You see! Merlin swallowed his saliva, stretched out his right hand, and pointed at the thick, long, but brilliant magical stick-like object flying from the sky, and countless secret and noble silk threads flew out from his fingertips, wrapping towards it!
"This ...... This is ......" Sheldon swallowed his saliva, quickly pulled out the wand in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the three stalagmites suddenly took off his hand, trying to pat the trajectory of the pointer in front of him crookedly, "Stop me!" ”
"No, no...... It hurts! Merlin tugged at his hand with difficulty, and his fingertips were pouring small beads of blood!
Within his sight, countless threads of time dragged the fiery red pointers, trying to slow down time, but it broke through the shackles of countless threads of time and flew straight in his direction! The ensuing torrent of time even rolled up the time line manipulated by Merlin, and pulled it back fiercely! Merlin simply can't compete with this power!
This pointer actually broke through the confinement of time, only paused in mid-air, and then suddenly increased its speed and rushed towards them!
"Plilius, hurry up and help me!" Sheldon saw the pointer's trajectory fluctuating fast and slow, and naturally knew that Merlin had also done something about it, and relatively speaking, there was very little he could do.
The few stalagmites he released didn't even touch the surface of the pointer before they were shattered by the sparks on the periphery! And its flight trajectory is still straight in their direction! Plylius chanted the demon in a loud voice, summoned a few fireballs on the periphery of the carriage, and also smashed them towards the pointer in the air, but like a moth to a fire, it was fleeting!
"Noelle, remember what I said earlier, you must be sure that you are the ...... in this moment" Alan didn't have anything to protect himself at hand, he was reviewing what Sheldon had said earlier, and suddenly found a match, "Mr. Sheldon, that thing in the air should be a pointer!" We should not worry about this, but the [never-ending twilight] that is coming soon! In the sky is the hands of the bell tower! ”
Sheldon finally knew why Merlin's current state had become so strange, and he whispered to Merlin if there was any solution, and the little boy just bit his lip, turned pale, and kept shaking his head!
You know, the power in the torrent of time is several times more powerful than the pointer! This means that they have to withstand the torrent of time!
"Yes, it's coming......" Merlin hugged Sheldon's body tightly, simply closed his eyes, and exclaimed, "It's coming!" ”
Just as he hugged Sheldon, a small figure suddenly appeared on his fingers, and Nightmare Moore came to help them through the difficult time with Nightmare Merlin's instructions!
Moore waved his fist and said to Merlin in a unique voice that no one else could hear: "Supreme - master! I can't survive half a second in the torrent of time, I can calm everyone down, and the next thing will be handled by the master! I've also marked everyone in this carriage with flowers on it, and I hope it will work! ”
Merlin opened his eyes again, and he saw that all the people in the carriage had a layer of empty light blue markings floating above their heads, and the torrent of time had rushed over their heads!
Boom! The first thing to hit was the pointer that fell from the sky, it didn't hit the convoy directly, but blocked in front of the dust and sand in the sky, and the layer of blazing fire floating on the surface of the pointer suddenly broke away, and it actually hit the torrent of time, it was trying to protect everyone here!
The huge shockwave swept the entire carriage, and Sheldon had no choice but to endure the physical discomfort, squeezing Prilius's body apologetically, swinging his wand forcefully, and concentrating on casting the spell again. The three brown magic patterns on his hands quickly faded, and the green magic patterns appeared like a spring, and the wind broke through the window, holding up the car in mid-air, and then slowly lowered it to the ground.
He didn't have the energy to take care of the other carriages, and it was already his best to be able to manage his surroundings...... Plylius scolded, he was useless now, so he had to act as a living human cushion to cushion the effect of gravity.
Bang dang! Bang dang! The sound of other carriages toppling came one after another, and the carriage Sheldon was in a miraculous landing!
"There's no way to ......." Merlin's hands were trembling, he had already tried to release four waves of time threads against the unrivaled torrent of time, without exception, all of these time threads were forcibly swept away!
Sheldon saw Merlin's bloody fingertips, and then looked at the boy's face covered in cold sweat and pale, and a nameless sadness reflected in his heart. He no longer has the energy to take care of other children, the only thing he can do is to hug him tightly and let him feel at ease.
"It's okay, it's okay......" Sheldon carefully hugged Merlin like a solid wall, blocking him in front of him, "This little thing—"
Huh-
In the end, the pointer still did not resist the rushing torrent of time, and the raging time thread stepped on the defense line under the pointer, and swallowed everyone in the carriage in an instant!
The tearing pain appeared in every trachea, every piece of flesh, and even every cell in everyone's body! Heart-rending screams filled the entire carriage, then poured out of the broken windows, drowned out by the clatter of the other carriages falling to the ground.
Merlin's perception was strange, he released all the time threads he could release to wrap the entire carriage, only to be swept away by the waves that came! All of a sudden, the world was spinning, and everyone felt that their bodies had been cut into countless thin pieces of paper, slowly glued together by a sticky force, except for one place that was constantly expanding!
Time and space are trembling, it's crying! Countless lens-like cracks unfolded out of thin air, and sharp shattering sounds appeared in everyone's ears one after another!
"Hmm! Ahhh Sheldon hugged Merlin tightly, he just felt like his body was about to split in half, something was pulling out of his body! Everyone felt so badly that there was blood coming out of Plylius' nose and his whole body was twitching.
In addition to the torn pain, Merlin discovered that in the depths of this power, there was something that wanted to rob him of the hard-won rune law in the depths of his soul!
No, that's ...... That's it!
"Wow, ahhhh
He turned to the nightmare soul countless times in his heart, but he didn't get any positive answer! But Merrill knew that under the power of time, as long as the slightest part of the nightmare was revealed, his body would burst open from the inside and disappear without a trace!
Merlin felt nothing but darkness, and he wrapped himself in a huge cocoon, surrounded by turbulent waves. Noisy...... It's so noisy......
Suddenly, countless pitch-black big hands appeared in the violent tide of time, crackling and knocking on the time cocoon room where Merlin was, and it seemed that they were about to stretch out their fingertips and pick open the entire cocoon through the gap in the thread of time!
No...... No! You can't take it away...... Absolutely not! Merlin curled up his body, and the thread of time around him pierced the outer edge of the cocoon, piercing all the hands of nothingness! But these hands are like ants that can't be killed, extinguished, and trampled on, one after another!
Absolute...... Absolutely not! His cocoon was being torn open, as if the shameful garments on his body had been peeled off one by one, revealing his rotting skin! You can't snatch it...... No!
A real fear flowed from his heart, and for the first time he felt fear, spontaneous, almost claustrophobic. There is no light here, nothing to rely on, none!
[Merlin! Merlin, Merlin! 】
A familiar voice came back to his head, no, back to his heart to be exact. The voice was so old that Merlin felt a sense of intimacy, as if the person who was speaking to him was himself on the other side of time.
[Don't let them snatch it, it's your own!] Don't hold back! Unleash your power and smash all your delusions! 】
Merlin opened his eyes suddenly, and the ancient, mysterious words naturally echoed in his mind.
[I am the creator of lies, I am the extradition of life! 】
[I am a collector of petals, I am a deceiver of truth!] 】
[I am a witness, I am a chooser!] 】
[I, that is, the pupil of Dharma!] 】
[Everything will be reduced to the ruins of time——]
When the last word came out, a bright and clear spot of light suddenly broke through the black space, sweeping away the dark and desperate turbidity, the crack gradually increased, and countless gentle and familiar runes wrapped around Merlin, who was at a loss for a moment, and flowed into his pupils.
[Grab them all, don't be scared anymore, don't hesitate anymore!] No! Again! Lingering! 】
That's right...... He didn't even recognize such a familiar voice......
"Damn, it's not that difficult to avoid this torrent of time, after all, your body is close to perfection." Nightmare's voice trembled a little, but it still looked like nothing had happened, "Marquez, are you ready?" No, Merlin, are you ready! ”
"You're finally here!" Márquez exclaimed excitedly.
"Hmph, if I don't come, you won't be able to?" Nightmare's voice was still trembling, "There's not much time left, let's do it!" ”
"I'm worried about you!"
Merlin's eyes once again circled with almost infinite rune chains, and he spread out his body, and with a wave of his hands, the cocoon that enveloped him was scattered. All of a sudden, countless pitch-black, illusory big hands in front of him grabbed straight at him!
"Take them all from me!"
The little boy stretched out his right hand and grabbed the soft and slender wrist before the first big black hand grabbed him! Countless rays of light were flowing under his eyes, how could he hesitate any longer!
Syllable! Bang Bang Bang! The other big hands around Merlin suddenly burst like a punctured soap bubble, leaving only the big black hand that was hurriedly withdrawn and quickly condensed in his hand!
"Don't let him run away!"
Merlin's eyebrows froze, the strength of his arm exploded, and he drank shallowly in his mouth, exerting all his strength, and pulling this hand back in his direction! All of a sudden, his body was surrounded by countless fields of mysteriously powerful runes engraved in his soul, and they were constantly providing Merlin with extra protection!
Swish! This big hand was really pulled back, and the light had forced the darkness to infinity, and there was a huge roar in the depths of that infinite darkness!
Merlin felt his hand loosen, and this long big hand was actually torn off by himself! A long black arm bounced back from a distance, losing the supply of the main body, and this arm was rapidly disappearing! And in the depths of the dissipated arm, crystal clear rune fragments actually appeared, which were absorbed by the rune sentences behind him!
The little boy snorted, something new was taking root in the depths of his soul, but he categorically believed that this thing could become the nourishment for him to become stronger and make him thrive faster!
In a trance, he seemed to feel that the large part of the whispering in the depths of his soul seemed to become more transparent, as if something deeper was buried in the depths of the long series of babbling, waiting to break through the ground!
"Márquez, it's time, it's time to go back, the next thing is tricky!"
"Good!" Merlin responded, the space around him melting rapidly, revealing the time and space that should have been there.
He found that the time had been stopped by a force unknown to him, and the moment he returned, the time of the moment continued to flow! And within that moment, Merlin found that everything around him, including humans, was neatly copied in two symmetrical copies along a mirror-like slit in front of him!
"Wow-ah-"
The cacophony of cries returned to Merlin's mind, and a Plylius, identical to himself, bounced out of the edge of the crack, followed by Allen, Noelle, and Sheldon......
One by one, the carriages of the previous moment, including the humans inside, jumped out of the frantically trembling rift in time and space! They were originally speeding across an empty grassland, and in Merlin's field of vision, all sorts of things were jumping out of the individual space-time vortex that opened out of thin air in the distance!
The feeling is strange. Merlin saw a carriage with a broken window across from him, and in the same position sat the same person in the same position. Except for Merlin, everyone else was "copied" intact!
In the carriage opposite him, Merlin saw that there was nothing in his place, and Shelton, who was supposed to be holding Merlin, grabbed the air, stumbled, and looked around suspiciously for his son's figure. The distance between this moment and the previous moment is extremely close, that is, it is equivalent to replicating the carriage of the same moment.
The screaming gradually stopped, and everyone looked at each other. It's not so much that everyone is looking at themselves in amazement.
"As I said before, our bodies are beyond any time and space, and only exist in the time and space of the 'now', and naturally there will be no other 'me'." Nightmare duly explained, "I don't know anything about [Neverending Twilight], so I'll leave the rest to you, and I won't interfere." ”
Since he is unique, it is natural to judge that everyone in the opposite carriage belongs to the previous moment. However, they also had the mark on their heads, which seemed to be a good fit in this way.
"Son, are you alright?" Sheldon stared blankly at himself in the carriage opposite, and found that there was a seat on the opposite side that was empty, "You ......"
Sheldon turned his head, his eyes suddenly changing from confusion to determination.
Taking advantage of the fact that the others did not react, he shouted loudly: "We are the people of the present, and the 'we' opposite is the 'us' of the previous moment!" There was one less person in their carriage! I gave Merlin a protective spell before I came, and his last moment won't be replicated! ”
He also didn't know exactly what to do with the [Never-ending Dusk], so now he had to take it one step at a time.
Alan, who had come back to his senses, looked at Allen, who had the same kind of surprise as himself, and turned to look at Merlin, and couldn't help but be suspicious.
Is it really what Sheldon says?
However, it is not too late to settle this matter before thinking about anything else.
