Chapter 347 The Sword in the Stone and the Knight
"Be careful!" Rocket Raccoon was thrown flying by Xingjue.
"I said put on your seat belt!" Star-Lord shouted without looking back.
"It's your poor technique!" Rocket Raccoon shot back, not to be outdone, and was pulled back to his seat by Grue.
"You can't find a better pilot than me in the galaxy!" Star-Lord retorted immediately.
Sitting in the back, Xinghu frowned watching their fight.
"This is their daily life." Gamora sat cross-legged on the side without raising her eyelids, "Don't worry, although when this kind of thing happens, I will always have the urge to destroy all the Nova Corps , after all, when they introduced me to the team, they never said they were going to deal with this situation."
Xinghu seemed to want to say something, but held back.
"If you want to say something, say it, but don't think that I will call you uncle very affectionately." Gamora said.
"Something is wrong." Xinghu said, "This matter, including the earth, looks very problematic as a whole. There are very few people in the universe who are capable of doing this, very few..."
Gamora opened her eyes, and she frowned: "What do you mean?"
"I tried to contact Adam, but he didn't reply to me in time, but Yuelong, who is currently following him, replied to me with some messages." While speaking, he subconsciously glanced at the man sitting beside him like a stone statue. The same Drax the Destroyer, but the other party didn't respond to the name Yuelong.
"You don't need to worry about this." Gamora replied, "Tell me, what is Yuelong's reply?"
"Adam discovered something, or he went to a very mysterious place to participate in some things." Xinghu said, "That's how she answered. I can only say that this kind of answer..."
He spread his hands.
"Adam knows a lot of things," Gamora replied. "He's probably involved, but not in the same part as us."
Xinghu pursed her lips: "Maybe, after all, you know him very well."
Gamora took a deep look at him, and then closed her eyes again.
Xinghu thought for a while, stood up, and walked to the other side of the spaceship.
"I found out the possible situation." It was a communication from Reed. "I'm not very clear, but in your known Titan star records, how is the part about the sword in the cosmic stone recorded?"
Xinghu frowned. To be honest, when Titan Star was still complete, he was not a serious person. During that time, he was just a person who liked entertainment and didn't care about anything. On the whole, he didn't look like a man at all.
Only when his crazy brother attacked did he gradually become serious, but after the harrowing end of that war, he became cynical or self-absorbed again, hanging out with whores and so on. normal.
Xinghu thought to himself, maybe in the past he didn't trust each other no matter what, after going through so many things, he will become what he is now.
"Sorry, I don't really remember how this matter was recorded in the old materials of Titan, but I just checked some records from the ruins that I later rearranged, but it is very Dilapidated and incomplete.”
As he said, he found those broken files from his database and sent them over.
"The first Kree-Skrull hybrid was the Dorek Supreme, whose lifelong dream was to end the war between the two races. It became a new magic sword and left a prophecy that whoever pulls out this sword from the stone will be able to prove that he is the reincarnation of the Supreme and successfully unite the two empires and become the greatest king of the universe."
……
"Are you sure you're not watching a pirated version of King Arthur?" Johnny looked at the information sent by Xinghu and snorted, "I mean, if this thing is really useful, maybe we can go to the Supreme Sanctuary to find it after the matter is over." Strange asked him to go to England and ask Merlin if he had prepared a cosmic version?"
"This story is not complete." Reed ignored Johnny's words.
"What?" Johnny blinked. He turned to look at his sister and Ben, hoping that they could give him some hints, but found that they didn't care at all. "Are you so indifferent?"
"This kind of thing is not suitable for us to worry about." Ben finally said, "Only Reed can understand himself, this is an eternal truth, so we don't need to ask him for proof, anyway, wait for him to do it." It's clear, and I'll tell us how to do it in the end. And, I'm very clear that Reid doesn't care about King Arthur, after all, it's just a story."
"Knights and Merlin." Susan explained, "The story of King Arthur is inseparable from knights and Merlin. What's more, in this story, there is no mention of why Dorek, who was originally separated from the two countries, It will become the reason why Ronan is willing to pursue now."
"In this story, Supreme Dorek is a third-party force that does not belong to the two empires. According to conventional logic, neither of the two empires should recognize his existence. He is a traitor on both sides, but now, they are Seriously search for his remains." Reed nodded.
"Is...is it very important?" Johnny was a little uncertain, "I mean, maybe finding out this historical reason can help us figure out a lot of things?"
"Maybe, or maybe not." Reed replied, "At least, from this record, we can know that a long time ago, the two empires had regarded the sword in the cosmic stone as a symbol that could unify the two sides. I don’t know who did it, but it should not have happened in this incident, so it should just be a mystery hidden in the history of the universe.”
"Well, if this is not important, then we still have nothing." Johnny said, "We know what Ronan is looking for, but we don't have any clue where the Sword in the Stone is, right? After all, the universe is so big, Even the Kree related to the prophecy are looking around like headless chickens, we are only earthlings, and even just heard about this cosmic version of 'King Arthur', we have no idea where to go.
"Then, the problem came back to the original point. We have to find Ronan before we can know what to do next."
Ben laughed: "We wanted to be able to skip Ronan to find things, but in order to find out where things were, we had to ask Ronan."
Reed frowned and sat back in his chair, ignoring the teasing of the two.
"The sword in the stone...the knights of the round table and the prophecy..." Reed muttered to himself.
……
Teddy opened his eyes, and he saw himself in an unfamiliar hall.
On the steps in front of him, sat a vicissitudes old man with white beard and hair holding a long stick.
The old man seemed to be struggling to open his eyes. He supported himself with his long stick, and then he was able to slowly stand up from the seat.
Only then did Teddy see clearly that the other party had the same long pointed ears and curved chin as those who kidnapped him.
"Who are you? Why am I here? What do you want?" Teddy couldn't help asking.
The old man raised his eyes with colorless pupils and looked at Teddy.
Immediately afterwards, everything around him disappeared.
To Teddy's surprise, he found himself floating in space with an asteroid in front of him.
His body flew towards the asteroid uncontrollably, and then, a fortress appeared in front of him.
Perhaps too many years of vicissitudes have made this originally magnificent castle look dilapidated.
Teddy felt his feet carefully. Everything that happened just now seemed unreal. He was sure that he was standing firmly on the ground at the castle gate.
A little panicked, he didn't know what was going on, but standing here alone, he couldn't know the answer, and if he wanted to understand the situation, going in to find out might be the only way.
He gritted his teeth and walked cautiously through the door.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
As soon as Teddy walked into the gate of the castle, he saw a thick soft tentacles covered with suckers protruding from the darkness deep in the castle.
He was shocked and subconsciously turned his hands into wings and flew up.
Fortunately, this huge tentacle didn't seem to be facing him in the first place.
The tentacle waved wildly and hit the wall. The walls of the castle, which had been in disrepair for a long time, were immediately knocked out of gaps, and a large amount of dust fell from above.
"This place is going to collapse." Teddy was sober, no matter why he came here, this is not a place for him to stay any longer.
Turn around and run to the exit.
However, he was shocked to find that the exit had disappeared.
"Moriden." At some point, the old man he had just seen reappeared beside him with a stooped body.
The halls of the castle are illuminated.
Teddy saw the owner of the tentacle.
Soon, his attention was drawn to the person who was fighting the monster.
It was an old man, he had gray hair, he held a long staff, he...
Teddy turned his head, and he stared at the old man beside him.
"I lied to everyone," said the old man.
"I once made a prophecy." He said, "When the two empires collapsed, the Dorek Supreme returned and guided all the Kree and Skrull to rebuild their homes."
He stared blankly at "self" who was fighting the monster.
"However, I concealed a part," he said, "a crucial part."
The originally evenly matched battle scene suddenly changed. The old man was sent flying by the monster, and he knocked down on the wall.
"I will die." The old man said softly, "When the Supreme returns, it will be my death."
He smiled slightly.
"For a long time, in fact, I have known the ending of the story and the owner of the prophecy, but I was afraid, I flinched, and I deceived all the knights, Lanzar, Mlyn, Kaiji...
"They have never known who the successor is, and I have been letting them covertly search for newborn hybrids in various Kree or Skrull territory.
"However, they don't know that for thousands of years, only one hybrid was born."
The old man walked up to Teddy, and he looked Teddy straight in the eye.
"They don't know, they don't know that the Supreme we are waiting to return has been staying on a planet that has nothing to do with Kerry or Skrull.
"Earth."
"Wait, I don't understand, I..." Teddy couldn't understand what the other party was saying.
"The war between the two clans has been going on for too long." The old man said to himself, "Maybe, maybe let it continue for a while, can't it?"
As he spoke, he laughed mockingly.
"Until Moridan's arrival." The old man's tone was full of mockery to himself, "Even a prophet will eventually be fooled by his own prophecy, no, it should be said that even a prophecy is only a part of the prophecy .”
He looked at the old man who had fallen by the corner of the wall, exhausted all his strength, and desperately used his blood to draw the last magic rune.
"The story always begins with the old man's departure." He said, "I know you are confused, don't know your own destiny, and don't want to accept it, or even what it is, but this doesn't matter. important.
"Kage and the others don't understand that destiny is not deliberately shaped by people.
"Fate can be changed, but it cannot be changed. Change is also destiny.
"Acceptance is destiny, and resistance is also destiny.
"You can think that you are, or you can not think that you are, Dorek Supreme, or Teddy Altman, it is up to you to decide."
Immediately afterwards, all illusions disappeared.
Teddy returned to the previous hall.
The old man on the chair has disappeared.
He turned his head.
Keji, Mullin and Lanzar were standing behind him respectfully.
"So... the sword in the cosmic stone is real?" Teddy asked in disbelief.
At this moment, he seemed to have just seen clearly.
What the old man did just now, the assassin had turned into a huge stone, and on this stone, stuck a sword that seemed to have completely rusted.
……
"But why did the 'Knights of the Round Table' kidnap Teddy?" Jyn asked. "I mean, yes, he's a Skrull and Kree hybrid, but..."
"Half-blood," said the beast, "Mirnir can only be lifted by Thor, and only King Arthur is worthy of the Sword in the Stone. Odin sacrificed an eye to see the truth of the world."
"The protagonist of the story has certain characteristics, that is to say, if you want to become the protagonist of the story, you must have the same characteristics as the protagonist." Colt said, "Great kings all have common characteristics. You could say it’s that trait that makes them great in the end, but from a story perspective, it could also be that they have that trait because they’re meant to be kings.”
"And the Dorek Supreme is the first hybrid..." Qin whispered.
