The test tube made a crisp crashing sound when it fell to the ground. Fortunately, the material of the container only looked like glass, but it was actually a very strong tempered material, so that it would not fall apart.
However, Ethan didn't care about whether the entropy god's body fluid in the test tube would leak out. He grabbed his hair with his hands and murmured nervously in fear.
Seen, seen, seen... He didn't know what just happened, but he knew, he was seen by that huge green eye, and there was no way to escape.
He didn't even know what he was seeing, and he didn't know who the black man who appeared last, but he knew that the images of those cities came from an extremely ancient past, so ancient that the universe may not even have been born. Those weird buildings can't be built on any planet in the existing universe, they're irrational shapes that are dizzying and disorienting. The huge emerald-colored sun in the sky, like those emerald eyes, emitting a dirty light, looked down at everything in the universe.
It was a universe long lost and beyond human comprehension.
And what's in that conical tower, emptiness and chaos, is the purest madness. He will be devoured and absorbed completely. He will cease to exist for an inexhaustible amount of time to come, as if it never existed.
He doesn't want to be like this... it's horrible, it doesn't exist anymore, it never existed, it's just a void...
Suddenly, his body was surrounded by the familiar gentle force, the faint sandalwood scent enveloped him like a gentle cloud, and the peaceful power along with the pale blue light of the Sequence God Egg penetrated into his boundless fear little by little. among.
Tanissell hugged him and noticed that Ethan's naked back neck injury from holding his head in his hands was covered with black blood vessels that spread to the shoulders and neck, or lines like branches that were constantly forked. Wherever the fine lines reach, the skin is dry, cracked, and even oozing blood. At the moment when Ethan was the most frightened just now, he even felt that he saw something move under the skin, propping up the skin slightly.
Fear... Fear is the catalyst for mutation. A voice in Tanissell's head said so.
He raised his spiritual power to the extreme, and the brilliance in the silver eyes on his forehead became more and more dazzling. While trying to bring Ethan's mind back to reality, the dark power in the opponent's mind was also dragging his mind, and scattered pictures were also invading his mind. Searle felt the hairs all over his body stand up. He didn't expect to see the illusion of the foolish god he had always believed in and its messenger, the black god of chaos, and he didn't expect things to evolve by themselves... He couldn't tell whether he should feel joy or fear.
He began to wonder if the decisions he had made before, and the purposes he had never revealed, were not his own thoughts, but were formed under the influence of the suppressed and mysterious forces at the core of the chaotic universe he worshipped.
Is all that he has experienced in his life a trap set by the treacherous and cunning god of chaos
He tried hard to stabilize his tumbling mind, whispering in Ethan's ear, his voice penetrating into the other's ear canal like a spell.
"Ethan, come back, come back to me."
Tanithel's voice was the last straw that Ethan's frantic consciousness could grasp. He desperately grabbed the sentence, pulling himself little by little from the mess of images. He found that he was being held by Tanisel from behind, his hand was tightly grasping Tanisel's wrist, and even a trace of blood was pinched on the white wrist due to the strength. The blood of the Eves is slightly different from that of the Earth people. The purple-red liquid is stained on the fingertips, as if accidentally contaminated with rose juice.
Ethan loosened his grip on Tanisel, but still refused to let go of his hand completely. He kept blinking, as if trying to make sure where he was right now was reality.
Ethan asked in a shaky voice, "What's that place? I saw... a green sun, and a big city, lots of bugs... I don't want to go there!"
"Shh..." Tanissell reassured, "That's just some group memories that exist in the body of the God of Entropy that resonate with you, and you're safe."
"Group memory?"
"It is a kind of memory recorded in the genetic information of a race. It is usually not felt, but it will be affected by them subtly. Generally speaking, people should not experience this when they indirectly come into contact with the body samples of the God of Entropy. A big reaction, because human beings evolved mainly under the guidance of the power of the Sequence God, so there is no population memory of the God of Entropy." Taniser spoke slowly, as if worried that Ethan's chaotic thoughts could not understand what he said. He turned Ethan's body and looked directly at him, "The reason why you have such a big reaction is because you were probably infected by the entropy god on the red earth, but this infection was caused by the god of entropy you received in the early days. Radiation suppression, until you enter the second universe dominated by the power of the entropic god, the power of the egg of the order god is greatly weakened, and the mutation starts to occur."
Hearing the word entropy infection, the first thing that came to Ethan's mind was the scene of Jeff's body covered with moving pustules, and a layer of goosebumps immediately appeared on his arm. He asked desperately, "Am I going to become one of those bugs on the red earth?"
"Your mutation doesn't seem to be the same as theirs. To be honest, I don't know what will happen." Tanisel looked at Ethan's expression, and knew that if he said yes, this Beta did not know if it would directly suicide. But he really didn't lie to him, because the lines on the back of Ethan's neck were obviously not seen by people who were infected on the red earth before. He saw that Ethan didn't get any comfort, so he sighed and said, "I can try to suppress the mutation in your body with the help of the radiation of the Sequence God's egg, but I don't know if I can succeed."
Ethan grabbed the front of his shirt tightly, his eyes full of begging that a desperate person would show, and said in a forced tone, "Help me, I don't want to be like that no matter what!"
Tanisel turned his head to look at the egg of the Sequence God, and was a little embarrassed in his heart. Before, he took an egg of the Sequence God to the red earth without authorization, and completely consumed that precious thing. After returning to Eve, he was almost sent to the religious court by the priests who disliked him. He could not have escaped without the Pope and his uncle protecting him. Part of the reason why he was secretly sent to Earth to help develop antimatter was to keep him out of the limelight.
If he abuses this Sequence God egg again for this human being this time, he will probably cause a lot of trouble again.
But if you don't save him...
Tanisel patted Ethan's back soothingly, making up his mind, "Okay, I'll help you. But you can't let anyone know about this, not even Samuel."
Ethan nodded quickly. As long as the mutation can be stopped, I am afraid he will agree to anything.
Tanithel lightly grabbed Ethan's wrist, causing him to loosen the placket of his shirt, then stood up and walked towards the altar carrying the Egg of the Order God. He first picked up the bottle containing the bodily fluids of the goddess on the ground and put it back into the altar, then carefully looked at the small blue thing for a while, took it off the altar with both hands, and jumped his fingers lightly on it, as if in A series of movements that are generally agile and complex in playing the piano. The blue brilliance of the Sequence God's Egg suddenly dimmed, or even completely extinguished.
Ethan saw that Tanisel took a small piece of blue from the egg, and then he tapped the surface of the egg of the Sequence God again as before, with a very focused and careful expression, even a little like walking on thin ice. .
When the egg of the goddess radiated a charming blue halo again, Tanisel breathed a sigh of relief, clenched the blue shard tightly in his hand, walked to the door and pulled Ethan, " let's go."
Tanisel was in a hurry, and Ethan followed suit. He noticed that the floor button Tanissell pressed was not the floor where he lived before, but a place about three floors lower than that. Before leaving the elevator, Tanissell reached out and pulled Ethan's collar up, covering the inhuman collar around his neck.
The bright and clean corridors were sparsely populated, only occasionally well-dressed senior researchers passed them by, or greeted priests, or just nodded. No one paid much attention to the mundane Beta behind the priest. Tanissell took Ethan into a very luxurious suite, apparently an apartment specially arranged for him. The priest motioned for Ethan to sit on the sofa while he himself entered the bedroom.
Ethan sat restlessly on the sofa, took off his glasses and wiped them with his sleeves, rubbing his feet against the soft carpet on the floor.
After about thirty minutes, Tanisel finally came out. The blue shards in his hand were gone, replaced by a thin pen-like transparent tube with brass-colored metal rings on both ends, covered with patterns in the style of Planet Eve. In the clear part of the test tube, there is some liquid with blue precipitate.
"This is a small fragment I took from the egg of the Sequence God. I mashed it and divided it into five parts to make this injection. I will inject the first part into the back of your neck later. Let's see how the effect is and then decide whether to continue the injection." Tanisel squatted down in front of Ethan and looked at him seriously, "Excessive exposure to the radiation of the power of the Sequence God will also cause problems, I dare not do it all at once. too much for you."
Ethan pursed his lips tightly and nodded vigorously, "I believe in you."
Tanisel was slightly surprised, as if he wanted to liven up the atmosphere, and smiled at him, "Don't believe me so soon, we are..."
"The relationship of mutual use." Ethan took his words as if nothing had happened, and gave him a bitter smile, "I know that I still have value for you, so you won't let me have an accident, right? ?"
At that moment, Tanissell's seldom turbulent heart finally raised a bit of grief that he had not seen for a long time. The pale smile of the other party reminded him of the smile his father wanted to comfort him before he died. He frowned inadvertently, stood up and gently supported Ethan's shoulder. Ethan also pulled down his collar and lowered his head, revealing his neck with many black thin lines.
Tanissell noticed that some fine lines had begun to creep into the hair. He activated the syringe and pressed it down on the back of the neck where the thin lines were most dense.
