Falling into the Abyss

Chapter 113: The Ophiuchus Alliance (5)

Views:

Hermon, on the border of the Third Reich, is not a planet suitable for human existence, with a thin atmosphere, high levels of sulfur dioxide, and no liquid water. Because it is so far away from the star, the climate here is extremely cold, and it is necessary to wear a space suit to walk out.

When the Ophiuchus Alliance's spaceship landed, there were already two other Third Reich spaceships parked in orbit near the planet. Those were the search and rescue teams sent by the Third Reich government. At the same time, an Eve spaceship has also entered orbit to participate in the search and rescue operation.

Apparently, the Ophiuchus Alliance did not inform the Third Reich that Ethan was also on board. Fortunately, the helmet of the spacesuit made it difficult to see the face of the person from the outside. Ethan and Samuel were able to ride a small ship with several other Ophiuchus soldiers. The spaceship landed on Heimon. They swept across the thin blue sky, and the desolate and barren earth was crisscrossed with ravines, like deep wrinkles carved out by time.

In a deep valley, lay the largest wreckage of the Eve spaceship. The oval-shaped remnant of steel was inserted obliquely on the cliff, and the exposed steel skeleton pointed to the sky, and it was impossible to tell which part of the spacecraft was originally. The valley was littered with metal fragments and charred cloth seats and the like, dragging a long trail that looked startling.

Some Third Reich rescuers are still scouring the largest wreckage for fragments of the Mastermind's hard drive, hoping to recover some pre-crash information. There is a makeshift search and rescue base at the edge of the wreckage area, where most of the analysis will be done.

"No body was found, but at this level of disintegration... it is very likely that even the body was burned..." A search and rescue worker shook his head regretfully.

"However, we are trying to restore some of the newly found hard disk information, and maybe we can get more information." Another Third Reich technician told Roland, "The central intelligent program of the main brain seems to have been shut down. According to the video records, One person went into curvature flight mode while awake."

There was an uproar, and many soldiers looked at each other and whispered, how could anyone do such a crazy thing. Samuel looked worriedly at Ethan in front of him, who was still standing still, unable to see his expression.

Roland asked, "So what happened to this person later?"

"The video recording in the middle of the curvature flight is badly missing and seems to be disturbed. From what we have found so far, we seem to hear human screams, and there are many vague... unexplainable images... if you want to see I can give you a general look, but because it was restored later, it is very vague."

Then, Ethan saw that image.

A shaky, blurry image. It can only be seen vaguely that it is in the cockpit of the spacecraft. There seems to be a blond guy trying to get up from the ground, but then... Immediately after that, Ethan isn't sure what he's seeing...

A lot of black shadows, drilled out from the wall, from the ground... It seems to be in the shape of a person, but it doesn't seem to be... Many insect-like arms, tentacles, constantly changing shapes...

They surrounded the blond man in the middle from all directions, a scream of pain penetrated from the harsh electric sound, and Ethan's heart twitched violently. Then, it's all down to swaying snowflakes.

Ethan didn't notice that he had forgotten to breathe for a long time, nor did he notice that he had bitten his lips, and black blood stained the corners of his lips. He turned around abruptly and walked out of the base. Samuel called to him from behind and chased after him.

Ethan walked all the way, ignoring the search and rescue personnel of the Third Reich who passed by, and walked straight towards the wreckage inserted in the rock wall. He could hear his heavy breathing, and he felt cold sweat oozing from his palms. He remembered the last kiss that Taniser had gently touched his heart, the last kiss that Taniser had landed on his forehead, and what Taniser said to him: I heard that the sunset on Moana is very beautiful. Beauty, live well, take a look for me.

And the screams that made people tremble from the bones...

He had never heard such a painful voice from a priest, and even when he suffered the pain of the battle between the order force and the entropy force in his body, and the pain of being forcibly pulled out of the cocoon, he never screamed like that.

Those black shadows... are not in this universe... What happened in the process of curvature flight

Ethan put his hand on the metal wall that was burnt to the point of melting, and his other hand ripped off the helmet at once. The search and rescuers who saw him do such a suicidal act invariably took a breath of cold air. In such a harsh atmospheric environment, people who are exposed to the air for less than three minutes will be poisoned by sulfur dioxide, which can seriously lead to kidney failure or even death. Not to mention these, just the cold that is not suitable for human survival will cause frostbite in an instant.

Some rescuers rushed up to rescue him, but saw Ethan making a refusal gesture to them. The cold wind whipped up his dark brown hair, and his green eyes shone brightly in the darkness. He closed his eyes, raised his head, and sniffed in the air like an animal. He worked hard to settle his mind, calm himself down, and tried to search for a trace of Tanisel's breath in the pungent atmosphere of this planet. At the same time, he was searching for the broken soul bond in his mind, hysterically allowing himself to perceive and find the lost other half.

But no smell, nothing. There was also a dead silence in his mind, and he couldn't feel anything.

In the cocoon before, he could clearly perceive some distant and ancient memories, and perceive some souls that do not belong to this universe. But none of these extraordinary perceptions could help him now. Taniser seemed to have evaporated, leaving no trace, not even a corpse.

"This is the price of betrayal of faith. You made him deviate from the contract he made with Fuxing Chaos. He already knew his end."

Ethan turned around suddenly and saw an Eve in a light space suit and a transparent helmet on his head. Handsome and elegant, with long brown hair tied behind his head, the third eye between his foreheads is open, obviously the direct spiritual communication with him through that eye.

It's Theonier.

Ethan was about ten steps away from him, and a sharp cold wind whistled between them.

"You killed him," Ethan said coldly.

Theo'Neill was probably the only one so far who didn't show fear of him, and the priest looked at him with a look that was half sad and half resentful, and responded, "No, you killed him. You confused his mind and made him forget his duty."

"Did I confuse him?" Ethan laughed suddenly, and the laughter went from low to high, and finally looked a little scary. It was obviously Tanisel who confuses him with his charming gray eyes, his gentle and moving voice, and his clean and slender hand of salvation? Why is it all his fault when it comes out of these people's mouths

Should he just lie down on their altar and wait for that cosmic core to burn his soul to ashes

Was he born to be sacrificed

Didn't he work hard to be an ordinary person and live hard

Is it the best ending only if he disappears completely

But on second thought, does he care what these people think? These unremarkable ants.

Now, there is no need for him to be emotional for irrelevant people. He only needs one person, this is the promise he made to himself.

So Ethan stopped his laughter, stretched out his hand suddenly, and shot five tentacles full of barbs from the top of his five fingers at the same time, and instantly wrapped tightly around the head and neck connection of Theonier's outer spacesuit. At this moment, as long as he exerts a little force, the space suit will be broken into pieces, and this hateful Eve will die of sulfur dioxide poisoning.

Fearful screams sounded from all directions, and not far away, an Eve soldier immediately took out his weapon and aimed at him.

But Theonier remained calm, and even signaled Eve's soldiers behind him not to do anything. This made Ethan very upset.

"I remember I heard Tanisel say that in the ultimate chaos, time and space will be confused, and the dead can be reborn. He signed a contract with Nyarlathotep for this, right?"

Theonier nodded slightly, "Yes."

"As long as Azathoth comes, this can be done... eh?"

"good."

"What kind of seance did you have to perform, that is, to let him come?"

"It's to open your spiritual channel with him, and he can manipulate your body from another universe."

"But I'm not going to die?"

"No. I just don't know if your consciousness will still exist. After all, no soul can bear the consciousness of the core of the universe." Theo Niel paused and added, "But you are prowling chaos and heaven. Son of the descendant of the star, maybe your consciousness will not disappear."

Ethan pursed his lips, and finally asked, "How did that serenity ceremony take place?"

This time, it was The O'Neill who gave a mocking sneer, but the smile was a little bleak, "It's too late. That ceremony should be carried out within seventy-two hours before you are about to enter adulthood, but you have already into adulthood."

"… that's it?"

"that's it."

"I don't believe it!" Ethan pressed his fingertips, and Theonier heard a crackling sound from the bottom of his helmet. In front of the angry prowling Son of Chaos exudes a terrifying black gas that is invisible to the human eye. Those black gas covers the sky, like the black sunlight overturning down, almost making him unable to suppress the fear in his heart. But on the surface, he still seemed calm, "Why don't you go to your father?"

Ethan was taken aback.

"I'm not talking about the poor earthling who raised you." Theo'Neill's sharp gaze was projected ten paces away, "I'm talking about your real father."
