The moment when the fingers intertwined, it seemed like a lifetime of time.
But in the next moment, the sky was completely torn apart. The original sky was gone, replaced by a myriad of incomprehensible, jumbled clumps of color and clumps. No human being can understand what that is and cannot capture the full picture of it, it is everywhere, it embraces everything, it devours everything, it is the end and the beginning of life, it is the end and beginning of the universe. As Azathoth invaded this world little by little, the second universe also devoured all the way inward from the edge of the solar system at a speed hundreds of times faster than before. Many space stations were twisted into a clump of steel in an instant, the originally hard material was twisted and deformed like mucus, the human body was integrated with the inanimate building furniture, and people were stunned before they could even feel the pain. The suddenly altered laws of the universe shattered into floating molecules.
Short and gorgeous flames ignited in the space, and then even the huge Saturn and Jupiter were swallowed up, scattered into millions of stardust in an instant, and exploded into beautiful fireworks in an instant, and then they were blackened by black. The Second Universe Devoured.
The invasion was so fast that it quickly pushed towards the command center where Roland and the others were. The councilors evacuated in a panic, but the second universe infection is rapidly spreading to all corners of the solar system, and they have been surrounded.
Azathoth's invasion is too powerful to stop once it begins.
Ethan let out a groan of pain, his spirit ripped to shreds. His memory is blurry, he has begun to forget his parents' names, and even his own name, and his cognition has also had problems. The colors in front of him are scattered and become meaningless fragments. He couldn't tell where the spirit of Azathoth was and where it was himself. Exhausted and miserable, he could only watch as the hand he held Tanisel turned into sharp claws, and the black infested the skin on the back of his hand.
He is about to disappear.
Probably because it stayed in the hands of the prelude for a long time and was contaminated with the prelude's breath, Tanisel and the skin he touched obviously seemed to be burnt, making a hissing sound and steaming clouds of vaporized smoke. . He also groaned in pain, but didn't let go.
"It's too late... it's too late..." Ethan murmured, trying to let go of Tanisel's hand, "Go... go..."
But instead of letting go, Tanisel jumped forward and hugged Ethan.
At that moment, both of them experienced extreme pain... It was a hundred times more torment than the wall of pain that the solution of the Sequence God's egg fought against entropy in the body, as if every cell in the body had become a bomb explosion. When it opened, the blood turned into lava and burned, and the internal organs were also melting.
In this severe pain, their spirits entered a short-lived illusion in order to escape.
It was the familiar vision, the vision of Tanethel.
The azure-blue water pool is as flat as a mirror, with some burgundy ring-shaped leaves floating on it. There are many shrubs around the pool, with overlapping translucent blue and purple leaves. One of the most conspicuous giant trees, the trunk needs to be hugged by about ten people, with rose-red heart-shaped leaves about the size of a human hand, like a vastly stretched sunset cloud, from which many light white silk sashes hang. Swinging in the breeze.
Ethan couldn't believe he was here. He blinked blankly, looking down at his body.
His body was slightly transparent, and the shape of his internal organs could almost be seen.
He wanted to choke a little. He was clearly mentally prepared and knew that he would disappear, but he really realized that from now on, he would really not exist, and all the evidence of his existence would disappear. It has nothing to do with him, and thinking of this, he still has some uncontrollable sadness.
His life, from boring and lonely to earth-shattering, from one kind of loneliness to another, is about to end like this.
A pair of hands quietly stretched out from behind him and gently embraced his body. Tanithel's breath surrounds him like a warm wind, giving a moment of peace to his disintegrating spirit.
"You're really not dead." Ethan asked, choking a little.
"No."
"What the hell happened? I saw that while the curvature was flying, you were being pulled away by something..."
Could it be that it was not Nyarlathotep who took Tanisel, but the Prelude
"I can't remember... I do remember being caught by something that came out of the ground... but then... there were only bits and pieces." There seemed to be some daze and uncertainty in Tanisel's voice, " I just remember that there was that foggy white everywhere, I couldn't see anything, I could only hear their voices. They said a lot and told me that only I could save the universe and you." At the meeting, Tanisel suddenly laughed softly, "To be honest, I don't really care if I can save the universe, but I know I can't leave you alone."
Tanithel's voice was soft and full of comforting power. Ethan turned around and stared into Tanisel's eyes earnestly. He stretched out his hand uncertainly, wanting to touch Tanisel, but he found that his touch was disappearing, there was nothing to the touch, as if he was turning into a gaseous substance.
He was sad in his heart, and looked at Taniser madly, "It's too late, you should run away."
"No, it's too late!" Tanisel grabbed his shoulders with both hands, although Ethan didn't know if he could actually grab him, "Listen to me, don't care what Nyarlathotep said to you. I believe, he is afraid of you, afraid that you will resist, so he dares not condescend on you! Azathoth is fragile in this universe, because this is the universe dominated by the predestination, and he needs to use your body. can exist here for a long time. Also, although he has an endless crazy spirit, he has no reason, no self-consciousness, like an unattended beast. And you are Nyarlathotep's Descendants, your spiritual power far exceeds that of human beings. If you are in the universe of entropy gods, you may really be powerless, but here you have the ability to use your consciousness to tame him and suppress him! Because this is your body, your universe!"
Ethan looked at him blankly, but didn't quite believe what he said, "I can't... I just can't resist... "
"Think about when you were a child, and about those happy days before." Tanisel stretched out his arms and embraced Ethan, "You have experienced a lot of misfortune, a lot of injustice, and you hate this world. .But isn't there something you want to keep in this world? Maybe there will be many children who want to go to the amusement park like you have not had time to go, and many introverted children like me who have not had time to go. Find friends, and maybe there are many people like Samuel who haven't had time to show their true self. Don't you want to fight for those beautiful things?"
Ethan was silent. What good things look like, he has long forgotten.
Since entering the forbidden city, he seems to be getting further and further away from this word. What you see, hear, and feel is all hatred and betrayal between people. He really couldn't imagine what there was to be nostalgic about.
Tanissell stroked the back of his head lightly and held him tighter, "If you can't imagine it, just think about us. Remember the first time we met on the spaceship? I took you from That man saved him and helped you and Samuel. Do you remember?"
Ethan's memory flashed back to that time, and he smiled involuntarily, "I remember... but it wasn't the first time we met..."
"Isn't it?"
"I saw you when I first got on the boat. But you didn't see me." Ethan raised his head with a hint of sadness in his smile, "You might have thought that the person you were looking for was Samuel."
Tanisel's heart ached slightly, for Ethan's sake. He caressed Ethan's cheek pitifully, "Blame my bad eyesight. Just punish me for looking at you in the future?"
Ethan rested his head on the priest's shoulder, and if he could still cry now, he should be in tears. But he has nothing now, and only tries to get close to the priest as much as possible. If he really wants to disappear in the end, he hopes to be here, slowly dispersing in the arms of the priest.
Taniser's voice was no longer steady, with a rustling trembling, "Do you remember, on the spaceship I brought you the inhibitor for Samuel, you owe me a favor and haven't paid it back. I said I would ask you to do something for me."
Ethan thought about it for a long time, and then vaguely found the node from the scattered memory. He looked at Tanisel in confusion, "Now?"
"Well, right now." Tanisel raised his cheeks slightly with both hands, staring at him intently, "I want you to live for me."
Ethan's eyes widened slightly, his lips parted a few times, and he was speechless. He never imagined that Tanisel's last request turned out to be this.
"Ethan, you're not the only one who lost everything. I have only you now, do you have the heart to leave me?" Tanisel's tenderness was also filled with a layer of inescapable sadness. Similar to lonely people can appreciate.
At that moment, in the real world, in the middle of the vortex formed by countless terrifying tentacles, two black tears slowly left in those green eyes that had become empty.
In the illusion, under the poignant red giant tree, Ethan also raised his head, tiptoed slightly, and kissed Tanisel's lips.
"I actually always... just want to be with you..." Ethan sighed while rubbing his lips, and slowly closed his eyes.
"There is a saying that I didn't realize until the moment I 'die' that I should say it to you." Tanisel murmured at the corner of his lips, "I think I may be in love with you."
Perhaps this is what Ethan has been waiting for all his life.
Perhaps this is his final redemption.
Perhaps, he can try one last time for this sentence. Even if he is facing the source of madness and chaos, and facing the power that is enough to overwhelm the entire interstellar civilization, he is no longer afraid.
He had hope again.
So, when Azathoth's madness dyed those green eyes that used to be red, when the black tentacles dripped with chaotic flames tearing apart the front end of the huge prelude in front of him, when different rapid invasions quickly appeared around the earth The entropy god universe vortex, suddenly, a trace of uneasy shaking appeared in the depths of Azathoth's eyes.
Nyarlathotep, who was not far away, roared in a language that no interstellar civilization could understand, and his anger immediately burned out the cylindrical and relatively weak preamble god who was closer to him. The earth is shaking violently, the mountains are collapsing, the earth is cracking, and hot lava is erupting one after another from the volcano. The core is no longer stable, and this blue planet is about to fall apart.
And this is just the beginning of the entropy of the first universe, and soon, the entire galaxy will be plunged into eternal darkness.

The author has something to say:
If there is no accident, the next chapter will end, and the ending feels difficult to define whether it is HE or BE. Personally, I think it is the ending that is not abusive...
In fact, the most cunning one is Xushen... Muffled to do big things...
