Marvel's Father Earth

The [X-Men] led by Charles and Eric were established in the Sanctuary. After consultation with Colonel Phillips, Peggy, Howard, and Steve, before it was established, they cooperated with [S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau] made an agreement to form an alliance.

The location was set at the Sanctuary that was discussed at the beginning. As the second branch organization of the Sanctuary, its purpose is to save mutants hiding in every corner of the world, and at the same time capture mutants who abuse their abilities to do evil. .

And the superpowers in this world are not just mutants. The area responsible for the [X-Men] is only mutants. Other superpower criminals are still under the responsibility of [SHIELD].

Steve also followed Eric and others back to the sanctuary and learned the details.

They wanted to help in this matter, but it was really difficult to intervene. If nothing else, in terms of strength, even Steve, who was the pillar, would only be killed instantly.

"The realm involving the gods is not something you can participate in yet. Instead of being discouraged and unwilling, it is better to practice hard and improve your strength, and strive to no longer hide aside and be a spectator in the next battle."

These are Maier's original words. Steve is a little unwilling, but this does not affect his inner determination. He will definitely practice more diligently, but if something like this happens again next time, if he is around, knowing that it is Even if he dies, he will rush forward without fear.

This is Steve Rogers, this is [Captain], a symbol of light and bravery.

……

Everything is developing in a good direction. Although many super-powered criminals have appeared in various parts of the world, with the cooperation of [SHIELD] and [X-Men], most of them only have the slightest signs of appearing. It was directly suppressed and did not cause much trouble.

However, there are more and more people with super powers, and it is impossible to completely conceal them. This has also made the top management around the world feel the urgency. Some ambitious people have even offered generous terms to recruit people with super powers to work for them, no matter what they have in their hands. , how many innocent people's blood has been stained, or the research on superpowers has been secretly started.

Maierin saw all this, but he did not interfere too much. Firstly, as long as the power did not reach the level of the three ancient powers, it did not pose much of a threat to the Holy Domain; secondly, he still With the original concept, this is an era of human rule. He will not interfere too much in how humans want to progress and what choices they want to make.

If they choose the right path, this is mankind's own achievement, and it also proves that they are indeed qualified to move forward independently from the gods; if they choose the wrong path, Marin does not mind taking action to make them understand again that the price of making the wrong choice is How heavy.

At this time, the sanctuary did not have the usual happiness. Instead, it was wrapped in an atmosphere of sadness. The sky was cloudy and drizzle, and even the sky was infected by this sadness.

Sanctuary, where Molkaba lives, Shion and Alex stood outside the house with twelve gold saints. On the outside, there were silver saints, bronze saints including Steve, Peggy, Howard and Howard's wife Maria are the three nominal priests, and beyond that are Charles, Eric and other [X-Men] and the public representatives of Sanctuary City.

In the house, there were only Merin and the bedridden Molkaba.

There was no trace of blood on Molkaba's face, and his wrinkled skin was like a dying tree. The color of his eyes flickered, and the flame of life might be extinguished at any time.

Merin squatted beside the bed, holding Molkaba's hand.

"Sir... I'm sorry... It seems that I... can't get through this level..." Molkaba said weakly.

"Nonsense, as long as I'm here, what are you worried about?" Merin comforted her softly.

"Hoo ho ho... Sir, you are still so... like to joke... Sir... I can no longer serve you... little guys... I still have many things... that I haven't been able to teach them..."

"Morkaba, you are already outstanding. You are an excellent Saint and one of the most outstanding children. Your grandfather and your parents are also proud of you."

"Sir's praise...hohohoho...I've been waiting...for hundreds of thousands of years...It's just a pity...I can't see Athena again...I haven't reported...my mission..."

"Don't worry, I think even Athena will only be proud of you."

"That's it... I'm relieved... Sir... I... Molkaba... the Aries Golden Saint... have fought for the Holy Land... for the love and hope of the earth... my whole life... I... don't regret it. ...If there is an afterlife...I will become a member of the Saints...and continue to serve the two adults..."

"Molkaba...is there anything else you want to say to me?" Merin could feel that Molkaba's life flame had been extinguished, and now only the firewood that had not been completely extinguished was left, hanging his last breath.

"Sir... we are destined to disappear from this world... but in the end... before I disappeared... I saw... in this era... on this land... there are still people like us... The same... people who are not afraid in the face of gods... have noble dignity... I have... no regrets!"

The final passion used up Molkaba's last life. He used his life to send out a cry and recognized the new generation of young people as an old-timer. From his hands, he took over the baton of protecting the earth.

"You've done a great job, Molkaba, sleep peacefully and have a good rest. I'm waiting for you to return to the Holy Land with a brand new look, just like you have been waiting for me and Athena for hundreds of thousands of years." Mai Erin said to Molkaba with a kind smile, even though he could no longer hear.

But Merin knew that Molkaba did not deceive him, and the smile that fixed on his face at the end proved that he indeed had no regrets.

Merin folded Molkaba's hands on his chest, stood up and walked out of the cabin. The moment he turned around, tears dropped from the corners of his eyes and fell on the back of Molkaba's hands.

"Sir..." Shion stepped forward with tears in his eyes.

"Ring the bell 88 times to send Molkaba off for the last journey." Merin ordered without refusal.

"Yes!"

……

The simple coffin was carried by Merin himself at the front, carrying the coffin for Molkaba. The others included Shion, Alex, Mu, Aiolos, Shaka, Saga, and Garon.

Leading the long funeral procession, they arrived at the Saint Seiya Cemetery. Saints of all ages were buried here after their deaths in battle. Some had remains, some had no remains and only had cenotaphs. But this is where they should eventually return. This place is the destination for all Saints and their final glory.

As everyone watched Molkaba's coffin being buried bit by bit, the Saints couldn't help crying. Even the female Saints among them covered their faces and cried. Even the [X-Men] and [S.H.I.E.L.D.] People who were not very familiar with Molkaba had red eyes, and the citizen representatives of the Holy City also lowered their heads and gave the most noble blessings to this old man who had worked hard for the Holy Land and the earth for tens of thousands of years. etiquette.

After the coffin was buried, Merin turned to face everyone.

"I think you all heard Molkaba's last words..."

Everyone present looked at Merin with red eyes, their eyes full of determination.

"...Molkaba recognized you and put his mission in your hands, but you...can you really shoulder this important task?"

"For Lord Merin! For Lord Athena! For the love and hope of the earth! No regrets until death!"

Shion, Alex, and all the Saints knelt down on one knee and answered Merin with the firmest and loudest voices. They were able to shoulder this important task, and they would definitely carry out this mission to the end.

"Okay! In that case, let us send him off for the last journey, ring the bell!"

At the command, the saints knelt down, and the others lowered their heads and put their hands on their chests.

"Dang~dang~dang~..."

The golden bell on the top of the mountain was rung 88 times in succession. This is the highest standard of etiquette in the sanctuary, representing the mourning of the 88 constellations. From the mythical age to this moment, only Maierin is sleeping, and all the twelve first-generation Golden Saints are When someone dies in battle, it has only sounded once, and this is the second time since the establishment of the sanctuary.

Others, no matter how great their achievements are, have only sounded the ring twelve times at most, representing the second level etiquette of the twelve zodiac signs at the apex.

Some people may say that Molkaba did not deserve such a farewell, but Maierin believed that he did. He persisted for hundreds of thousands of years and never slackened on his mission until the last breath of his life, passing the fire to the new generation.

When the 88 bells ended, Maierin just gave an instruction and let Shion handle the follow-up matters before returning to the temple.

Maier didn't care about his image and sat directly at the door. He took out two quilts and a bottle of wine. Both glasses were full, but he only picked up one of them and drank it.

"The last one has also left, Molkaba. Although there are still children of the new era, I still feel a little lonely when you are gone. I think back then, you rode on my neck and peed, and then I was severely beaten by Jatsuin, and once..."

Merin just said to himself, while waving his hand, he took out a wine glass and filled it with wine.

At this time, Asura suddenly appeared. Without saying anything, he sat directly on the ground and picked up the wine glass that belonged to him.

"came back?"

"Well, just in time to send him off on his last journey."

"That's good."

"Aren't you going to ask about the result?"

"I don't want to discuss this now, I just want to send him off today."

"……it is good."

Two people, three glasses of wine, they were talking to each other, as if they were joking with each other, and they were reminiscing about the past, but this scene seemed to be frozen, with no wind, no rain, no sunshine, under the gloomy dark clouds Down there, it's desolate, but warm.
