47. Royal family secret. The oldest hydra(1/2)
Merlin really didn't expect that in the story about the origin of the stranger, there was still a scene of a mutant.
Although he had considered this issue a long time ago, both the aliens and the mutants were special forces that appeared in ancient times, and the years when their ancestors were active were almost completely overlapping, and it was obviously unlikely if the two did not intersect.
Now, Choi Tan's story confirms his speculation.
"The hive commanded the alien army to capture cities and land, and in the past ten years, it was almost invincible and invincible."
Choi Tan said to Merlin and Gordon in a tone that tells ancient stories:
"But the rise of every empire will encounter strong enemies. This is the law of history, and it is the same in prehistoric times. In our records, it is said that the hive once conquered Europe, but when trying to enter today's Middle East, it encountered a completely unfamiliar force and no weaker than the Inhuman Dynasty."
"It was a country composed of mutants and ordinary people. Its borders were spread throughout the Middle East and even Egypt. The name of that country had disappeared in history, but in our records, there are descriptions of the leader of that country."
Cui Tan said:
"He is called 'Apocalypse'. It is said that he was the first mutant born in the world. He is very similar to the situation of the hive, but he was not chosen. He worked hard all the way and became the leader. He was more like a king than the hive."
"That's what is said in the least records."
The fishman shrugged, and he said:
"You can also understand that there are always many exaggerated elements in the records of the ancients. According to their description, the apocalypse was far superior to the incompetent hive in terms of personal charm and personal strength. Under his command, the mutant legion not only easily defeated the alien army, but also swept across the hive's border and finally came to the city."
"The Apocalypse was calling out outside the city, asking the Honeycomb to come forward and fight him one-on-one. If he wins, then the Honeycomb will bow down and surrender. If he loses, then the Honeycomb can annex his country."
"Although the aliens hate the beehive's rebellion, in that case, they still hope that their king can face the challenge bravely. Unfortunately, the beehive is a coward."
Cui Tan said with some regret:
"He dared not face the powerful apocalypse, and he could not even stand on the city wall to respond to challenges. Under the ridicule of Apocalypse, the hive knew it would be defeated, so he quietly activated Attilan's transfer facility and disappeared in front of the apocalypse's army with his own royal city."
"That battle swept away the majesty of the beehive and also allowed the oppressed aliens to see the cowardly soul under the strong surface of the beehive, so a rebellion began to plan."
"Our ancestors secretly found some warriors in the Mutant Kingdom. We learned that they were also very dissatisfied with the brutal rule of Apocalypse. In that era, the leaders liked to divide classes by blood. Although Apocalypse was powerful, he was not immune to the vulgarity. In short, the situation in the Mutant Kingdom is very similar to our Inhuman Dynasty."
“Both sides are plotting to overthrow their leaders and bring freedom to the oppressed people.”
Cui Tan said:
"So the rebellious forces on both sides hit it off. Our ancestors and mutants made an agreement, and they helped us kill the hive, and we helped them assassinate the apocalypse."
"Of course, these things cannot be done by both sides, and the key is still on the apocalypse and the hive."
"The mutants rely on the information given by the Inhuman to accurately confirm the location of the hive. They reported this to the Apocalypse secretly and offered a plan to assassinate the hive. The Apocalypse, who longed for a victory, quickly agreed to the plan. Because the hive was disrespectful to him, he decided to kill the coward himself."
“This gives both sides the opportunity to fulfill their commitments.”
"On a dark and windy night, the drunk hive was tricked out of the palace by its favorites and held a luxurious and slutty banquet outside the city. At the climax of the banquet, Tianqi suddenly appeared with his most loyal subordinates. The hive was shocked. He tried to return to Atilan, but the city gate had been closed by the rebels."
"He couldn't escape the attack of Apocalypse, so he could only grit his teeth to fight, but he was not good at fighting. After all, he was just a slow, unqualified hunter, and was not the opponent of the brave Apocalypse. In short, in that battle, Apocalypse used his god-like power to easily destroy the body of the hive, but even Apocalypse could not completely eliminate the hive."
"The Kerry gave him an extremely perfect transformation. As long as there is still flesh and blood nearby, the hive can be resurrected with the help of other people's bodies. This made our ancestors realize that the hive cannot be killed, and he can only be exiled to a deserted place, allowing him to wait for death by himself."
The story told by Choi Tan is very exciting, and both Gordon and Merlin are fascinated by it.
This fishman is a good storyteller. He vividly describes those past stories, and he continued:
"And the hive, which was forced into a dead end, was unwilling to fail. He began to madly manipulate the attack on Apocalypse like a death-like attack on Apocalypse. After all, it was outside Atilan City. After the hive went crazy, the aliens in the city could not resist his orders at all. In the desperate attack of tens of thousands of people, even Apocalypse could not resist. After all, the abilities of the aliens were strange."
"Anyway, when dawn came the next day, the seriously injured Avalokites fled Attilan with the help of several guards. Outside Attilan City, blood flowed into a river. The Mad King's hive was also on the verge of dying, and was rescued back to his palace by a group of aliens loyal to him."
"Our union failed in the end, but in fact it did not fail. A few months after Apocalypse returned to its country, a riot broke out in that distant place. It is said that Apocalypse also died in that riot. In short, since then, the alien has never heard of the news about Apocalypse."
"What happened later?"
Gordon asked:
"How did our ancestors drive out the hive?"
"The story later was filled with a hint of mystery."
Cui Tan said something uncertain:
"After the failure of the rebellion, our ancestors fled from Atilan in a hurry. They fled all the way to the north because of fear of the revenge of the beehive. However, during the escape, one night, the ancestors of the Black Bat King saw a suddenly opened door in the forest and walked in and saw a mysterious wizard inside."
"He prayed to the wizard for a way to save the people, and the wizard finally helped him."
"At the morning of the next day, the ancestor of the Black Bat King returned to the camp with a few strange black stones. He declared to everyone that he had found a way to exile the hive."
"The people who were forced to do nothing at that time could only fight to the death. They set up a trap, defeated the incoming pursuers, and sneaked back to Atilan, and placed the black stones around the beehive's bedroom."
"The ancestors of the Black Bat King were able to manipulate the sound, and he made a strange sound, like a command, the stones were activated and turned into rolling black tides, drowning the hive together with his palace."
"And after the tide faded, there was nothing left in the place, only a ruined wall."
Cui Tan said:
"The hive was exiled, and was said to have been thrown into another world and into hell. Since then, the second era of the Inhuman Dynasty really began."
"But you said that Ronan is now looking for the hive, looking for the King of Inhumans."
After hearing the story, Merlin narrowed his eyes and asked:
"In other words, the hive is not dead and is exiled for thousands of years, and he is still alive?"
"Yes! He is not dead!"
Cui Tan gritted his teeth and said:
"The ancients regarded those stones as miracles, but after the development of the technological development of Yi Ren, we studied those stones and found that it was actually a special teleportation magic. Its positioning point was among the stars. The hive was thrown into a place in the stars more than 3,000 years ago, and it was not killed."
"But according to the natural laws of organisms, he should have died. No such creature can live for so long in a deserted world. So we guess that for more than 3,000 years, there have been people secretly helping the hive."
"help?"
Merlin said:
"You mean, there are people on Earth looking for it and waiting!"
At this moment, Merlin's thinking suddenly had a hint of inspiration, and he remembered something that happened a long time ago.
A few years ago, when he killed the Hydra leader "Barte" of the Red Skeleton faction, he seemed to have seen a very strange picture in the woman's memory.
A group of Hydras pretending to be themselves gathered together, and in front of them, there was a black stone with several strange hollows.
They sent a few people in space suits to the edge of the stone, and then the people disappeared by suddenly turning into liquid stones.
"Hydra!"
Merlin said:
"Hydras are conducting a special ceremony. I know that they are looking for the hive! Every time they will send some people to the hive."
"Hydra?"
Cui Tan shook his head and said:
"What is that? It sounds like a force?"
"right."
Merlin said:
"A evil force, you can understand it as the villain of the story. It has many factions, including a very mysterious conservative, who is said to have been trying to take back their gods. Now it seems that their so-called 'god' should be the hive."
"But they are all ordinary people, and there is no alien mixed in it."
Merlin said:
"Does the hive still have ordinary people's followers?"
"some!"
Cui Tan replied:
"Although the followers of the hive were all Yi Ren, you have to understand that Agent Merlin and Yi Ren's genes will gradually fade in the transmission of blood. In more than 3,000 years, it is enough for the descendants of the followers of the hive to be reduced to ordinary people."
"Even if they keep intermarrying internally, this trend of downplaying is still inevitable, and you also know that the transformation of Inhuman requires the assistance of Terrigan crystal."
Gordon then explained to Merlin:
"Most of the Terrigen crystals on Earth are collected in the afterlife and several special Inemi families. If the descendants of the beehive have cut off their ties with Inemi society, it will be difficult for them to get enough Terrigen crystals to transform. The most important thing is that if the method of distinguishing Inemi genes is lost, even if they have crystals, they will have very bad consequences when they use them rashly."
"You have also seen the consequences of ordinary people touching Crystals. Maybe those people may be crazy, but they can pass on their legacy for so long, which proves that they are not stupid."
"Anyway, I came to Earth just to get your help."
Cui Tan stood up straight, spread his hands and said to Merlin and Gordon calmly:
"Once Ronan finds the hive among the stars first before us, then it will be difficult for the aliens, whether they are the aliens on Earth or Attilan's aliens to get rid of their controlled fate. At that time, the aliens will point their guns at the Merlin agent on Earth. You have also seen the power of the Black Bat King. What I want to say is that although the remaining Attilan aliens are not as powerful as the Black Bat King, once they are united to attack the Earth, it will be really difficult for you to stop them."
"And the hive's control over the Inhuman without weakness also makes it difficult for us to intervene."
The fishman said silently:
"So, we can only rely on you and on new friends. After all, Ronan is our common enemy, isn't it?"
"I can't answer you about this now."
Merlin didn't hide it, he said:
"I hope you can understand that this kind of thing is not something I can decide alone."
"In addition, from your story, we now know that there are two ways to deal with the hive. One is to find the 'whip' that has never appeared before, and the other is to throw the hive into a no-man's land and let him fend for himself, right?"
