The Collection of The End

——2015, Marvel——

Ark Noah.

Similar to when traveling from Earth to Asgard, this smooth giant ship is in a nearly circular "space tunnel" with no specific boundaries. The lower half of the tunnel is sea water and rapids that appear out of thin air, carrying the Ark. Break the waves and move forward.

Outside the space channel, there are bright stars that are moving towards the stern of the ship at such a high speed that they pull out light bands, and from time to time, stars much larger than them pass by - the two seem to be the same kind of stars?

Due to the constant changes in light, the Ark was somewhat flickering, making Moriarty's expression uncertain.

As people who are both good at reasoning, a short silence is enough for them to guess a lot of things.

For example, Sherlock learned through some means that Moriarty had a plan, but he didn't know the details and was just deceiving him.

Moriarty is very confident that his plan can be completed, but he has doubts about its confidentiality, which is why he is regarded as his opponent. His IQ is no less than his own, and he is very likely to analyze Sherlock. Just one sentence to deceive.

But it's okay, because other students don't want to be pointed out what they had for breakfast or where they went to play in the middle of the night. Unless they are close, no one will take the initiative to approach Sherlock and Moriarty, especially the two of them. When talking to each other - the exception is the silly Watson.

"Plan? What plan?" Watson, who was watching the starry sky, came over after hearing the words: "Do you mean the plan to come up with a competition venue?"

"..."x2

Sherlock and Moriarty turned to look at him with different expressions.

"He summoned the Lord of the Dark Dimension to take away the 'Breed of the Void', and then asked her if she was interested in the next game, and also said that he would give her an offer that she could not refuse," Watson complained skillfully: "I can't listen to the rest. arrive."

"It seems that the demon was moved by your 'conditions'." Sherlock looked at Moriarty.

"Oh, didn't you say that my plan was 'all within your expectations'?" Moriarty raised his chin: "Then guess what the conditions are?"

"It can be as small as stealing part of the authority of the ocean dimension, or as big as taking away the entire competition planet. List every possibility. There must be your plan in it," Sherlock said: "Unless your plan is based on that planet. Bait, join forces with the 'Lord of the Ocean Dimension' to keep her completely."

"..." Moriarty was a little sluggish, and after thinking for two seconds, he nodded: "Although the success rate is appallingly low, it is a good idea."

"Dark, too dark." Watson looked shocked.

"Hmph," Moriarty obviously didn't bother to explain to Watson, but just said to Sherlock: "Don't you think it's a waste to throw away many things in this game after use? If you can do it without breaking the rules and without delaying On the premise of getting the ranking, you can get what you couldn't get while studying at Hogwarts, why not?"

"Hmm..." Sherlock was silent for half a second: "The idea was influenced by Luna?"

"How can-tsk." Moriarty suddenly paused in the middle of his denial, then raised his eyes to look in the direction of Noah's bow.

Noah's lines are soft and there is no real bow, but Luna still found a position closest to the front. With one hand on her hips and the other pointing forward, she shouted: "Our journey is the stars and the sea! In the sea Everything belongs to me!"

Sherlock looked away politely.

Forget it, "greed" is also one of the driving forces of human progress.

call--

Finally, Noah escaped from the high-speed space tunnel and slowly stopped in the starry sky.

The direction it is facing is a huge "water ball". Although there is no reference object available, just because it blocks a large field of view in the direction of Noah's bow, you can guess that its size is definitely not small. .

However, this water polo looks nothing like the "ocean planet" mentioned in the schedule briefing - no planet is completely composed of water and completely transparent, right?

Sherlock was not too surprised by this, because the appearance of the "Ocean Dimension" also looked like this, and in terms of volume, this "water ball" could only be regarded as a small pearl in the giant "shell". .

In the eyes of all the passengers who were either amazed, envied, or puzzled, Noah drove into the "water balloon" without stopping.

Due to the large difference in volume, when Noah passed through the "outer wall", he looked like an osprey diving into the sea. However, Sherlock did not feel the resistance to penetration. He only suddenly fell into the sea when crossing the waterline. Some kind of half-dream and half-awake state.

At the same time, an old female voice spoke slowly with a slightly nostalgic tone.

The Empire ruled the continent for 500 years, and its armies drove away enemies from the planet before it was born. 】

What empire? What planet?

As if answering Sherlock's question, a blue planet appeared in the center of his "vision". What is surprising is that, in addition to large and small islands, the continents of this planet are connected together. From the North Pole to the South Pole, and back to the North Pole, the planet is trapped vertically, and the whole thing looks like - a donut?

Fortresses laden with honor were torn to pieces by its trebuchets, and huge fleets were sent to the bottom of the sea by its gunboats. 】

From the forests in the north to the wastelands in the south and the vast seas, everyone surrenders to the majesty of its huge army. 】

As the old woman slowly narrated, Sherlock's "field of vision" dropped rapidly and switched to various locations on the planet's surface, showing everything in her words one by one.

Only then did Sherlock notice that the land area of ​​the planet was much larger than he had estimated when he was "high in the sky" - the so-called "Empire" had at least four huge legions fighting across the continent, which was incredible. Can get the situation under control.

With the disappearance of land enemies, these four legions began to build seaports and warships, clearing the densely populated islands on the sea one by one, and eventually planted the double-headed eagle flag representing the empire in all territories on land and sea.

But empires, like people, will decline,]

Leaders lost their resolve to achieve a common cause, and corruption and infighting began to spread. 】

Former enemies learned the secrets of the Empire's power and began to devise new plans of their own. 】

Until one day, the ties that held the empire together were torn apart. 】

Some pictures that roughly fit the content of these words flashed before Sherlock's eyes, and what finally appeared was a huge earthquake or tsunami. Its terrifying energy cut the land in half from the equator, and even split other parts of the land at the equator. The islands on the axis were pushed violently in all directions, causing a series of chain reaction accidents.

The double-headed eagle symbol appeared over the mainland. It was first held upright in two halves. After a moment, it was broken horizontally again. Then, the double-headed eagle flags in four colors: red, orange, blue and purple were displayed. The four separated continents rose up, and the war that had never completely subsided broke out again.

This is an era full of hatred, an era full of suffering,]

But, the worst times are also times when courage and resistance sprout]

New leaders will rise up to govern new territories and lead new people from the ashes of history,]

Build a new world. 】

As the old woman's voice filled with anticipation, Sherlock's perspective began to switch rapidly, from the Gobi and deserts on the edge of the continent to the vast forests and hills, from the inaccessible snow-capped mountains and grasslands to the dotted Broken Islands. On all continents overseas, there are scenes of people dressed differently and looking like leaders speaking to many subordinates or people.

What they have in common is that each of these leaders' faces is that of Shylock.
