Chapter 463: The "Ever-Changing" World

The fusion of DC stories made a much bigger splash than any previous fusion of stories, and its impact on the larger world may be second only to when the framework was first shaped.

After decades of creation, this is a story world that combines science fiction, mythology, fantasy, magic, and aliens, and whose imagination covers the universe and all time dimensions. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "all-encompassing." Almost every story mode, narrative method, and character composition that has appeared in all story works in human history can be found in this grand story world.

Naturally, when this story merged with the big world, it would definitely attract the attention of all the gods.
The great world experienced the most violent tremor since its formation, and ordinary humans were unaware of it, but the attention of many gods was focused; some of them were worried that the integration process would not go smoothly and the contradictions would not be resolved, which would lead to chaos and changes in the great world.

Fortunately, the writer once again proved his professionalism and dedication in this position; the tremor in the big world did not bring serious consequences, and as it slowly disappeared, it also declared that the story integration was successfully completed.

The blue planet wrapped in the atmosphere and the deep space dotted with stars look exactly the same as before the fusion, but Lin You knows that this world is completely different from the past.

The most obvious evidence is that all the layers of DC story fragments that were originally "attached" to the big world have disappeared.

Nothing more was said between the Supreme God and the writer. The arguments and secret discussions that had taken place between the two parties not long ago seemed to have never happened and were tacitly "forgotten".

Lin You dragged his tired feet back to the manor, and saw Diana coming to greet him: "A new world has merged in?"

"You felt it too?" Lin You was not surprised.

Compared to the time in Paradise Island, Diana now has the ability to see through the truth of the dimension; she said with some worry: "I seem to feel a strong sense of uneasiness and slight rejection, but it is very slight and lasts for a short time. Perhaps Minerva's feelings will be a little deeper."

"Minerva... where did that naughty girl go again?" Lin You looked around; five years had passed, and the little girl who was once soft, cute and clingy had now been upgraded to a "naughty girl".

As the saying goes, "Seven and eight-year-olds are annoying to dogs." The ten-year-old girl is very clever and quirky, and her divinity and divine power are growing stronger and stronger. This is not just annoying to dogs, it is simply trying to kill a dog.

Minerva once showed great curiosity and love for magical creatures, so the old butler once wanted to raise some small magical animals in the manor; just like Muggles raise cats and dogs, saying that "they can keep Miss Minerva company."

As a result, when the little girl was eight years old, this topic was never mentioned again.

Speak of the devil, here comes the devil. Lin You was just about to look for someone when he saw a figure more than half a person's height jumping towards him, holding a fiery red object in his hand, waving it constantly, and laughing as he ran.

"Brother, brother, look what this is, I caught it, it's a phoenix... The phoenix actually flew into the manor. I've never seen such a beautiful phoenix on Gough Island. It wanted to run away when it saw me. Its eyes were big and it looked scared, it looked just like a human." Its little mouth chattered like a string of cannonballs.

When Lin You heard the word "Phoenix", he felt uneasy. His first reaction was, "Did you catch Dumbledore's Phoenix again?"

Dumbledore did not die at the hands of Voldemort, and lived smoothly into the new century. He is currently planning to resign as headmaster. In recent years, the old wizard has had frequent dealings with the Forresters, and the little girl has seen the phoenix named "Fawkes" more than once. She was so envious of it that she always wanted to steal it home, and she has tried to steal it more than once.

Every time, Lin Youyi sternly suppressed them and they could only play for two days before returning crying.

Now seeing the big fiery bird in Minerva's hand, he thought that the little girl had relapsed into her old habits and had gone to kidnap someone else's pet again.

"No, of course not, absolutely not! It flew in on its own, right in front of me, and wanted to land on my head. It doesn't look like Fox at all, it's much bigger and more beautiful than Fox, look, look..."

Lin You was dizzy with the girl's rapid-fire attacks, and the phoenix that she held in front of him like a treasure made his eyes full of red; the fire with a slight smell of sulfur rushed straight to his nose, making Lin You smell a familiar scent.

When Lin You compared his human eyes with those of the bird, he immediately recognized that it was not Fox, but an "acquaintance".

The moment the phoenix made eye contact with Lin You, it began to struggle violently; it spread its wings with all its might, and was about to flap its wings when a white and tender little hand fell from above its head and pressed on its back, with its five open fingers pressing right on the base of its wings.

The two wings that were powerful enough to kill bears and tigers immediately drooped down.

After stealing Fawkes so many times, Minerva had already mastered a way to subdue birds; combined with the power of her divine body, she was invincible.

The phoenix was filled with grief and indignation at the predicament of being trapped by humans. It cried at Lin You, which sounded both a denunciation and a cry for help.

"Put it down, it's our old friend, not a bird..." Lin You had to discuss with his sister.

Minerva frowned slightly when she heard this, and she held the phoenix's paw upside down and shook it, looking it up and down for a long time, feeling very dissatisfied: "You are lying, this is obviously a bird, a phoenix. It is a phoenix that is slightly larger than Fox."

Lin You felt a headache and said to Fenghuang: "Why don't you say something? You are mute and can only make whimpering sounds."

Phoenix was upside down, being shaken to the point of feeling like she had no desire to live. Upon hearing this, she glared at Lin You, then turned her head away without saying a word, not even a "嘤嘤嘤".

Minerva was amazed. She held the phoenix in front of her eyes and stared at it: "You can still speak? Why don't you speak? Come on, speak, and I will let you go."

The phoenix shuddered suddenly, and just as it was about to struggle, it was shaken almost to pieces. Finally, it accepted its fate, opened its beak and made two "weeping" sounds, shouting until it was hoarse.

"Look, it can't speak; brother is lying again!" The little girl jumped up and down and accused.

"How is it possible that it can't speak?" Lin You stretched out his hand, but Minerva subconsciously pulled it back and pretended to hide the phoenix behind her.

Lin You had no choice but to shout across the air: "Phoenix, why are you pretending to be an idiot? Speak up!"

"Does it have a name? It's called Phoenix? Does brother know it?" The little girl asked three questions in a row, shaking her hands unconsciously, "But it can't speak!"

"Gah...Gah..." The phoenix stopped whimpering and its voice became hoarse and shrill. "Does it want you to see its mouth?" Diana, who was standing by, looked at it for a long time and seemed to have figured out something, so she reminded him.

"Its mouth?" Lin You was stunned when he heard this. After a closer look, he was immediately furious. "Minerva, did you block its throat and deliberately make it unable to speak? No wonder it can only make simple sounds!"

Minerva pretended to realize, "Oh! I was afraid it would spit fire at me like Fox did, so I blocked its throat when I caught it. I always did that, didn't I?"

"What are you right about? Undo it immediately. Don't you know your own destructive power? I've told you so many times that you are not allowed to use the tricks you use to harm magical creatures on the island outside. The magical creatures you encounter outside may have owners." Lin You pointed at the little girl's head and scolded her unhappily.

The magical creatures on Gough Island are harassed once a month on average, and many of them can no longer bear the harassment. According to the keepers on the island, many populations have shown signs of migration and have been pacified with great difficulty.

"So it's still a big bird, right? It's still a sacred animal, a phoenix, not a human." The little girl had been battling wits and courage with her brother for so many years that she was already familiar with tricks like turning a deaf ear, changing the subject, and quoting out of context. With just one sentence, all of Lin You's reproaches fell on deaf ears.

"It's indeed not a human, but let it speak again first." Lin You pointed at the fiery red ball unhappily. The originally beautiful phoenix feathers were now wilted.

When the little girl heard this, she knew her trick of changing the subject had worked. She immediately put on a smile and obediently let go of the phoenix, while silently withdrawing the divine power that was blocking her throat.

"You little bitch, you are not a human! I am Phoenix, the phoenix, one of the seventy-two demons. Have you heard of the demons? How dare you catch me..." The phoenix that fell to the ground was no better than a chicken. It rolled on the ground and turned into a human form, but it still looked like the little boy many years ago.

"Hey, so cute!" Minerva's eyes lit up, and she ignored the other party's scolding. She walked over and pinched the little boy's face.

Phoenix had no power to resist and his cheeks were pulled into a "bracket".

Seeing the divine power that instantly sealed off Phoenix's limbs, how could Lin You not know that this was Minerva's deliberate revenge? The more the little girl's divinity awakened, the more she could control her own power.

So what about the seventy-two demon gods?
Phoenix, a demon god at the level of a marquis at most, can only defeat a great wizard like Dumbledore. When he meets a native god of the big world like Minerva who has already reserved a seat as a true god, he is like a doll in the hands of a girl and can only be manipulated by others.

"Oh my god... Heaps of them..." After spending thousands of years with the devil of hell, Phoenix had learned the devil's ability to know when to act. At first, he thought he was just careless and was caught in a critical situation. Later, he saw that Lin You, an acquaintance, was there, so he dared to shout at Minerva. When he was pinched in the face, the little phoenix realized that he must be civilized and polite in the future, and must not speak loudly in front of this young lady.

"Brother, do you recognize it?" Minerva turned around and looked at Lin You, her hands holding the two ends of the "bracket" still without relaxing at all.

The little phoenix immediately cast a look towards Lin You for help; he looked so pitiful that he was almost about to shed two more phoenix tears.

"Alright, alright. You've hit birds and people before. It's time for you to vent your anger, right? He is indeed a friend of our family. When I met Him, you were only this old!" Lin You gestured to a small swaddling baby.

"Then why is He so small? He is not even as tall as me." Minerva insisted and tested the elasticity of Phoenix's face with her fingers.

The little phoenix gasped in pain, but when she saw the stinky girl turn her head back, she immediately smiled; the main point is that she can bend and stretch. Anyway, this face has fallen into the hands of the other party, so she doesn't want to suffer twice, and don't want to be punished twice.

Lin You shook his head: "This is how He will be in His life. He will never grow up."

Minerva wrinkled her nose, snorted twice, and finally let go of the person.

As soon as Little Phoenix was freed, she immediately hid behind Lin You, putting a safe distance between herself and the little girl.

Minerva ignored Phoenix and asked Lin You in a crisp voice, "Brother, were you writing an essay again? I found that the world has become different."

Lin You's face darkened: "What kind of essay? Don't use the words I taught you carelessly. I'll explain this to you later. We need to entertain guests now!"

There are some things that Diana can know, and Minerva will also know, but they are not suitable to be spread everywhere; although Phoenix is ​​an acquaintance and old friend, he is still an outsider after all.

After sending the little girl away, Lin You pulled the little phoenix out from behind him and said, "Ever since the 'Holy Spear' incident, you've been having fun everywhere for so many years and never came back to see me. How come you suddenly came today and broke into the manor without making any noise and got caught by my sister?"

"How do I know your sister is so scary? I saw she was so pretty and quietly reading a book on the lawn, so I wanted to go over and say hello. But as soon as I saw her, she grabbed my ankle and pulled my tail. I don't know where she learned to be so skilled, her hands were so fast that I couldn't react."

The little phoenix felt full of grievances; he was one of the few among the seventy-two demon gods who was kind-hearted and yearned for beautiful things. Who would have thought that he would almost die at the hands of a "beautiful thing" today.

"Don't change the subject. Why did you come to me?" Lin You looked down at Little Phoenix as if he was teaching his sister a lesson.

"It's just been a while since we last met, and I wanted to come and see you...Okay, I'll drop by to give you a letter."

"Delivering the letter is the real business, and coming to see me is just a side job, right?" Lin You directly exposed the child's lie, and at the same time guessed his purpose, "There are many people in the world who are stronger than you, but not many can drive you. Who is it? Is it Lucifer or his equally restless mother?"

"Lucifer," Phoenix said in a muffled voice, "He asked me to tell you that the agreement between you and Him is about to expire. It just so happens that He is about to leave London and go to another more chaotic and corrupt city to seek new scenery - these are His original words - so He wants to invite you to meet him."

"Yes, even if you didn't come, I would have taken the initiative to find Him. The certificate for entering and exiting hell is still with me. According to the agreement, it's time to return it." Lin You recalled the deal with Lucifer. "Did He say where the 'chaotic and corrupt city' he wanted to go to is?"

"I didn't say, it seems like I'm going to the other side of the Atlantic." Maybe it was the aftereffect of being caught, but Phoenix just felt uncomfortable all over. He twisted his body while speaking, as if he was subconsciously trying to smooth out the hair on his body.

"According to Lucifer, the world is becoming more and more interesting, and there is more fun to see over there. It's time to go there." (End of this chapter)
