Chapter 1239 The person selected by the body (1)
"What else do you know about that rift?"
Lord frowned and slowly put down his sword. Now was not the time for a civil war.
Although Karl didn't say it clearly, from his tone, it was not difficult to guess that there was probably an "outer god" hiding in that huge crack, who was ready to invade.
"Not as much as you think. I only know a little."
Karl found a flat rock at random, sat down, held his cheek with one hand, and said calmly: "If you want to investigate, I think it's best to start from the 'starting point' and find out who caused it, maybe I can find out."
"Aren't you going to continue the investigation?" Lord asked.
"The premise is that I will choose to continue the investigation without you."
Karl looked up at him and said calmly: "But since you are also in this time and space, it is naturally up to you to investigate. As for me... I am just a fragment of the soul projection, not so capable. "
"That means you have no more information, right?"
Lord tilted his head, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Basically, that's true."
Karl nodded and said: "Unlike you, I am here in my true form and cannot interfere too much with the "past" things. Since you are here to solve it, it is naturally the best to save me from having to make arrangements. "

"In that case..."
Lord pressed one hand on the handle of the knife, and a coldness flashed through his lowered eyes: "Then you can die in peace."
Swish-!
The crisp sound of the sword suddenly cut through the wind and sand, and the sharp sword intent cut a break in the void.
As Karl sat on the rock, a line of blood slowly appeared on his neck, and then his head fell weakly, rolling on the Martian sandstone and stopping at the edge of the crater.
There didn't seem to be the slightest surprise on Karl's face full of eyes.
He has already seen the 'future', even further than what Lord has seen.
So it’s clear what this scene looks like.
"Be careful, don't die, Lord."
Karl looked at him calmly and said slowly: "In the near future, you and I will eventually have a battle. I hope that by then, you can let me use my full strength instead of being as weak as I am now."
However, what answered him was a powerful kick.
Peng!
There was a dull sound, and Karl's head was kicked hard like a ball.
Then, it drew a graceful arc in the windy and sandy air of Mars, and finally fell into the crater of Mount Olympus and disappeared from this world.
Then, he turned around again.
The palms of his hands were condensed with spiritual pressure that seemed to be substantial. He smacked it down hard, causing the entire Mount Olympus to shake. After the headless Karl's body was completely crushed, Lord sneered and clapped his hands, his lips slightly parted: " So much nonsense.”
After destroying the corpse and removing traces of it, I felt much better.
Just one look at this guy can make him feel uncomfortable. This time he can finally find a chance to recover some debt. Even if it's just a fragment of his soul, that's enough.
The next question is to find out why this crack formed.
"Perhaps, you can ask Utu."
Lord stared at the crack and said to himself: "As an observer, it is impossible not to know this."
...
...
...
In the meantime, let's look at developments on the other side.
On the fifteenth day of the Holy Grail Trial Competition, the third stage officially came to an end, and the one who took the lead was still the Phoenix Apostle, Cyclops Scott Summers, who won the first place with an absolute advantage, one hour ahead.
Impressively followed by Iron Man Tony Stark and Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards.
Colossus crossed the line in fourth place, followed by Thor, Captain America, Quicksilver, Hawke and others. Namor and Black Bolt, who chose to take the long way around, accelerated at the last moment and barely made it to the top ten. .
At this time, according to the trial points, Cyclops ranked first.
"Auroro... was there an accident?"
Cyclops glanced at the crowd and found no trace of Storm, and his face suddenly turned gloomy.
After all, since participating in the trial, their number has been getting smaller and smaller, and now there are only two left. This is simply a great shame.
"With the strength of Quicksilver and Hawke, it is impossible to defeat Storm." Colossus also looked ugly and gritted his teeth: "How about I go over and ask them to see what happened?"
"Hmph, no need, I can probably guess it."
Cyclops stared at Kuaiyin and Kuaiyin with an unkind expression, and said coldly: "If nothing else happens, Ororo should have fallen into their hands."
"Probably... no?" Colossus was a little shocked and almost bit his tongue: "No matter what, Ororo is also a Phoenix Apostle, how could he be defeated by the two of them?"
"The specific reason is not clear, but..."
Cyclops folded his hands on his chest and said coldly: "From the hostility released in their eyes, it is not difficult to guess that Ororo took action, but I don't know why, but it was not successful in the end."
Hearing this, Colossus looked back and found that it was indeed the case.
Hawke is not very obvious, he is covered up very well, and it is almost impossible to see the flaws, but Quicksilver is obviously much more tender, and the hostility and anger in his eyes can be easily seen.
"If it weren't for Ororo, why would they show hostility to us?" Cyclops said with a sneer on his face: "It seems that the body has not been taken away, it should still be in their hands."
"Do you need me to take action? Scott." Colossus narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.
"It's not necessary...yet."
Cyclops thought for a moment, shook his head, looked at the other group of people, and said: "Our next target... is them."
Colossus followed his gaze and saw that it was Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic. A cruel smile suddenly appeared on his steely face: "Tony Stark, Reed Richards, I I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.”
Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic seemed to feel the gazes coming from them, and the hairs on their bodies suddenly stood up.
"It seems that we are being targeted."
Iron Man looked solemn and whispered: "Does Cyclops know that we have 'remains'?"
"Calm down and read a book, Tony."
Mr. Fantastic's face remained normal and he said calmly: "They probably don't know yet that the eyes of the body are in our hands. But it won't be certain until the next stage. It's better to prepare as soon as possible. "
Quicksilver, who was far away in the crowd, was surprised when he saw Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic: "The two of them... are actually okay?"
Hawke observed carefully and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Fantastic used a stigmata, probably through a 'miracle', allowing the two of them to escape from your ability."
"Doesn't that mean we have to fight several more times?"
Quicksilver showed a bitter look on his face and said with a clear heart: "I would rather fight with Storm again than fight with the two of them. These two people have too many minds and they will fall into the trap if they are not careful."
"Haha, I'm afraid they won't care about us in the next stage."
Hawke smiled and said meaningfully: "Look, Cyclops and Colossus have been staring at them, so in the next stage, we must try our best to collect the remains. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
