Falling into the Abyss

The nearest military base to the Seventh Space Station is only one light-year away. If the government decides to use a curvature propulsion device, they may face extinction at any time. Ethan stood on the height of the central building, looking down at the dense crowd below through the floor-to-ceiling windows. They are like a group of ants crowded together at a loss, as if they can easily trample to death.

This is how entropy gods and prologue gods look at them as human beings, right? This is the feeling that the upper ranks look at the lower ranks, right? This is how a predator looks at its prey, right?

If I decide to abandon them at this time, they will all be unable to resist.

How many people do not want to do cruel things when they have such great rights?

If the oppressed people are given rights, won't they become the same brutal people?

In the reincarnation time and time again, the victim becomes the perpetrator, the oppressed becomes the oppressor, the people in power are trampled under their feet, and it is the former ants who step on them and smile proudly. This is human order, human history, and human destiny.

Until one day there are some intelligent civilizations beyond human beings, civilizations like entropy gods come to end this cycle.

Order is about to collapse, and the sleeping king is about to wake up.

He has ordered all humanoids to gather in several underground floors to prevent them from frightening humans who have not yet been infected with the mutation. This central building is a city within a city. It has accumulated many of the oldest residential areas and commercial streets. Layers of buildings have been piled up over the years, and the narrow aisles in the middle have been filled with debris. In order to have more space, Ethan asked everyone to quickly throw the debris outside the central building. Tens of thousands of people who could not be evacuated acted at the same time, and the cleanup work was quickly completed.

At the same time, news came from those human soldiers saying that the preparatory work before takeoff has been completed. The energy released by the nuclear reactor has been quickly stored in the fuselage that has been dormant for dozens of centuries in the super-large spacecraft transformed into a central building, and this huge monster buried deep in the building has been revived little by little. The rumbling sound came from under the feet, shaking people's bones. The children's crying can be heard clearly even at high places.

Ethan asked the second-class soldier through the walkie-talkie, "How long will it take to take off?"

"It's less than an hour. But because there are too many buildings around, I don't know how much damage the spacecraft will be caused by the disintegration of the city during takeoff." The other party's voice was tight, obviously also very nervous.

Ethan hummed, "Just do your best."

Ethan left the high observation room and walked slowly through the crowd. People saw him showing a strange look of both fear and dependence, and they all staggered back, trying to stay away from him. Along the way, only a little girl with big eyes did not hide. She looked up at him curiously, and Ethan also knelt down, looking at him with a faint smile.

"What's your name?" His heart was soft and his voice was very gentle.

Seeing him smile, she also laughed, revealing the gap in the front teeth that had just been replaced. But before she could answer, it was probably her mother's woman who rushed over, hugged her up, and frightenedly said sorry to Ethan, and squeezed back into the crowd and couldn't see it.

Ethan shrugged. He has gradually got used to this feeling of being feared, disgusted, and dependent on others. Even some enjoyment.

Some people knelt on the side of the road and bowed to him, calling him the great evil god, and praying for his forgiveness and forgiveness. These people are all believers of the Benefactor Church, and Ethan has no good impressions of them, and he didn't even look at them.

Until an old man suddenly rushed out and pointed at him and cursed, "You monster! It's because of you that there is a plague! You **** monster! You should die!" He said, screaming at him. Spit.

Everyone took a breath, thinking that the old man was going to die.

Ethan did not hide, leaving the saliva sticking to his cheeks. He raised his hand, slowly wiped it off, and lowered his eyes, his expression was a bit lonely.

"You're right." Ethan glanced at him apologetically, raised his hand, and looked at his nails that had turned black. "But I can't die, I promise to live alone."

Live to watch the sunset, if you are lucky, maybe you can go together.

Then, hug together with everything in this universe, and return to chaos and nothingness.

This is the perfect ending he envisioned for himself.

"The spacecraft will take off in ten minutes. Please be prepared for the impact when the city is disintegrated." The voice of the second-class soldier came from the broadcast of the Central Building, and the noise of the crowd was immediately higher by one decibel than before. Everyone is anxious and does not understand what the so-called disintegration shock is. Ethan yelled to anyone nearby who could hear him, "Grab any sturdy object that can be held near you, and lie on the ground!"

People spread words to each other, and many people who are closer to Ethan have already taken the lead. Ethan suddenly felt an impending heat, death-like heat.

It seems that the blow is approaching, and I hope they will have time.

After all, he didn't want to float alone in the dark universe, so he wouldn't be able to return to the earth, nor find the black man.

I saw Ethan, the only standing in the middle of the crowd, suddenly shooting out countless black tentacles of various shapes behind him. He turned into a burst of black fireworks, and those arms that seemed to extend forever, carrying the rustling wind, instantly inserted into the surrounding buildings belonging to the spacecraft body, like an intricate spider web, and Ethan is the center of that spider web. Black spider.

He was lifted into the air by the force of the tentacles, and the next moment, the huge roar and fierce tremors surpassed the most terrible earthquake on earth. People bounced like a ball on the ground, almost unable to stabilize their bodies.

Blue flames sprayed out from all directions, and the giant buildings in the distance collapsed like building blocks in front of the huge energy. The smoke and dust gathered into a billowing tsunami, and the tide quickly covered everything. However, in the Central Building, or the interior of the spacecraft, almost no buildings collapsed. They are engulfed by a net woven by countless tentacles. Ethan in the center was suffering from the tearing pain, his face was a little pale, and there was sweat on his forehead. Black blood gurgled from his back, dripping down his ankle to the ground.

With the raging injection of nuclear fuel, the spacecraft is being freed from the shackles of countless steel structures. This city in the sky was torn apart in an instant with the mighty roar. Without the support of energy, the atmosphere that originally wrapped the entire space station quickly dissipated, and the dark universe appeared in front of everyone. Countless pieces of reinforced concrete floated in the universe, hitting the outer shell of the central building. The hard shell made of ancient aerospace materials groaned, which was frightening.

The spaceship's protective shield flickered a few times, and finally stabilized like a lingering breath. So the impact becomes smaller. However, the gravitational system is extremely unstable, and people float up from time to time and fall heavily to the ground from time to time. The horrified cries for help and crying were in a mess. Everyone could only rely on the telephone poles beside them or the pillars, or even the tentacles of Ethan firmly fixed between the buildings to keep oneself from drifting. Falling down again in midair.

After about five minutes, the gravity field finally stabilized again, and Ethan finally breathed a sigh of relief. There are many bone lacerations on his back, and the blood has soaked his clothes. But his super healing ability keeps his life in danger. He slowly relaxed his tentacles, retracted them into his body, and slowly put himself back on the ground.

Although a lot of people had been holding on to his tentacles in a panic just now like they were holding life-saving straws, the moment he landed, the people who were lying near him quickly retreated like a plague.

Ethan didn't care, he understood their fear, and was afraid that he would turn them into humanoid insects.

It may be until almost all people in the galaxy have become similar creatures before they will want to transform themselves. And Ethan knew that this day was not far away.

Less than eight hours after their spacecraft left the original trajectory, they saw an amazing flash of light in the distance. It was an explosion capable of destroying everything. If they didn't leave immediately, they would have disappeared now.

People gathered in front of the nanoglass on every floor where they could look outside, staring at the disappeared homes in a daze. Many people with fragile hearts made intermittent weeping sounds, and silent despair spread among the crowd.

They were locked up on a ship with a group of terrible monsters, and their government had abandoned them.

Due to the large number of people, they could not fly with curvature, so it was easy to be caught up by government chasers. They must hide themselves. After the soldiers got together and discussed, they decided to turn off the main brain and all communication facilities, and manually sail toward the earth. It is impossible to leave the solar system without being discovered on a spacecraft without stealth function. Now that the plague is spreading on the earth, the population that was originally small has become sparser. The army has been withdrawn seven or eighty-eight. It is better to take the risk. Go to the earth to try your luck.

But Ethan will not go with them. He still plans to go to the fifth space station to attend the appointment.

Knowing that it was a trap, he still decided to go. The Fifth Space Station is his hometown. Although I heard that the whole area has been quarantined because of the plague before, he still wants to go back and see what his home has become.

Most importantly, he needs to see his father again. There are too many things he can't understand, only his father can give him the answer.

What's more, he should be able to draw the attention of the Earth Alliance away from the spacecraft of the seventh space station, so that the ship full of weird bugs and people can smoothly pass through the barren sea of ​​stars and approach the earth silently.

He was about to take one of the few escape ships left in the hidden escape capsule of the spacecraft. Before leaving, he deliberately entered the "underground" where all the insects inhabit. In the underground floors of the central building with no light, black insects have densely filled every gap in the wide ground, walls and ceiling. They crisscross, intertwined, squirming, mating, and multiplying. Darkness does not make them feel scared or sad, on the contrary, they like darkness, like a fish in water. Their awe of Ethan is still strong, which is an emotion written in instinct from the created to the creator. Ethan told them that during the voyage, they could sneak into the upper floors to find meat, but they could not harm or infect humans unless they actively requested to be infected.

The bugs were a little dissatisfied with his order, but no bug dared to question his order.

Ethan told them that the above orders were all invalidated after any aggressive behavior of humans, and they could do anything to those people. But the premise is that humans must unilaterally provoke and attempt to harm them, not that they deliberately anger and intimidate humans and cause humans to counterattack.

The insects made a cheering and coughing sound, and their greasy bodies rubbed against each other happily.

The escape spacecraft shot out like a meteor from the huge and ancient Seventh Space Station spacecraft, silently. Ethan did not let anyone but the soldiers know that he had left. He was sitting in a narrow cockpit, surrounded by a vast universe of starlight. It was as if he had returned to his mother's womb, before returning to his own existence, in this boundless universe, all the planets became as small and meaningless as dust.

He felt very tired, like a piece of duckweed without roots, not knowing where it would end up drifting. In this deserted escape boat, he finally showed a tired look, leaned his head on the backrest and closed his eyes.

He dared not fall asleep, fearing that he would be found by those Prologue Gods after falling asleep. But the drowsiness hit one after another, making it difficult for him to resist.

Before he knew it, he found that he had come to a familiar place.

The smooth and shallow blue water pool is like a mirror surface, with some burgundy ring-shaped leaves occasionally floating on it. Shrubs grow around the pond, with translucent blue and purple leaves intertwined and overlapping. The most conspicuous giant tree, the rose-red heart-shaped leaves with the size of a human hand form a vastly stretched canopy, from which many light white silk ribbons hang down, floating with the breeze.

He was dressed in black and stood in the middle of the pool. The bare feet are only slightly sinking into the water, as if the whole person is floating on the water.

Ethan blinked in confusion, and his heart beat suddenly increased.

This is the illusion that Tanithel previously created for him. Whenever his consciousness enters a dangerous area, the priest will place his mind in this beautiful illusion. This is a safe haven for Ethan.

He thought he would never return to the harbor.

The priest's breath still wandered in the rippling water in the wind blowing through the treetops. The faint bitter sandalwood smell made Ethan's eyes sore and wanted to cry.

Why, why come back here?

Ethan looked around, his feet disturbing the calm water in the pond. He ran on the water, splashes of water and wet his clothes. He came under the big tree and looked around, but couldn't find anyone.

"Tanisel!!!" He shouted loudly, knowing that no one would answer him, but he still wanted to call.

"Tanisel!!! Are you back!!! Are you back!!!" He screamed in vain, his throat hoarse. He sat down slowly leaning on the thick ancient book, black tears crisscrossing his face. He wanted to wipe his tears, but saw his black claw-like nails and the winding black lines on the backs of his hands. He closed his eyes, thinking that he had become like this, would Tanithel still recognize it.

Would he want to be what he is now? Or do you fear and despise him like other humans?

He has done so many things, if in the end he still cannot find the only ray of sunlight that can save him, what is the point of all this?

He wiped away the black tears hard, raised his head, and saw a white figure on the opposite side of the pond through his sight blurred slightly by the tears.

A touch of gold, shining in the beautiful sunlight.

Ethan took a breath and opened his eyes suddenly. He was stunned for a long time, staring at the dashboard in front of him blankly, unable to recover. He closed his eyes again unwillingly, wanting to return to that dream, but the more anxious he became, the less sleepy he became.

He opened his eyes in annoyance, slammed his hand on the dashboard, bowed his head and cursed a long-lost swear word. He scratched his hair somewhat helplessly, buried his head between his hands, remembering the short dream state vigorously.

Who is the white shadow in the dream? Is it Thanisel?

Ethan was intently perceiving the broken string in his soul, and there was still silence...

So he was not sure, was it his own subconscious, or... he really saw the priest?
