The blue liquid quickly seeped into the blood vessels, and Tanissell raised the syringe sharply, leaving five blood spots on the skin. In the first few minutes, Ethan didn't feel any change, but the kind of waiting that was about to come made him extremely uneasy. In order to appease him, Tanissell poured him a glass of red wine, and he drank it without even looking at it.

The wine was filled with ambiguous heat in his abdominal cavity, which relaxed his nerves a little. However, at this moment, a sharp stinging pain spread from the back of his neck, as if he had been bitten by something. He groaned in pain, and reached out to touch it reflexively. He felt something move under his skin, like a pulse, but the pulse disappeared after just one stroke.

Immediately afterwards, the stinging pain began to spread down the spine, intensified, and began to spread to the limbs and bones. At first, Ethan was able to hold back the fine, itchy pain that seemed to be stabbed by a needle as thin as a cow's hair. His brows furrowed tightly, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his teeth bit into his lips, and his hands clenched tightly on the sofa under him. But even so, there was no way to restrain the pained groan leaking from his lips.

Tanisel saw his eyes closed and endured the pain, and reached out to touch his shoulder. But just as his hand touched the other's body, Ethan's whole body trembled, as if the place he touched was on fire, he suddenly avoided it, and an uncontrollable scream of pain came out of his throat. He seemed to use all his strength to open his eyes and look at Tanisel, struggling to say, "Don't touch me... it hurts..."

Taniseer felt a little distressed when he saw his forcibly calm appearance. He whispered, "The primordial power before the birth of countless universes is fighting fiercely in your body, as long as you endure it, you will be fine."

Ethan nodded reluctantly, curled up on the sofa. He seemed to want to reduce the area of his body in contact with the outside world, presumably because the forces of order and chaos were scrambling in every cell of his body, so any additional stimulation would be very painful for him.

Tanissell knelt down in front of him, closed his eyes, but opened the third eye on his forehead to the extreme. He could see the wrestling flow of energy in Ethan's body, wrapping and biting at each other like vines that had been tightly entwined since birth. People always think that order is good and chaos is evil, but in the mysterious third eye of the Eves, the two energies are actually the same disturbing and frightening color that does not exist in the spectrum of the naked eye s color.

Taniser chanted a spell written in Eve, which was a short sentence composed of syllables that would relax people's consciousness. With the spiritual power that the priests had trained, they could temporarily form a spiritual field. He continued to expand his spiritual field until he wrapped Ethan in it. At that moment, the two forces boiling in Ethan's body were also impacting his consciousness.

Priests can use this method to temporarily control similar, alien and even lower animals whose mental power is weaker than theirs. But this ability is also very dangerous. When he faced a too powerful mental force, he might be caught by the other party instead, and then be completely swallowed up. Although Ethan's mental strength is not strong now, he has the power of the God of Entropy and the God of Order in his body after all, which has caused a great impact on him. In an instant, he almost wanted to retreat immediately, but Ethan's unconscious sigh changed his mind.

Tanithel tried to stabilize his will, focusing all his attention on Ethan's brain, trying to cut off the pain perception in his body. He weaves his spirit into a filter, wrapping Ethan's consciousness layer by layer. Those turbulent shocks continued to attack his spirit, and the stinging pain began to appear on his body.

Ethan's expression relaxed a lot at that moment, and the pain he felt suddenly decreased a lot. He thought he was finally going to endure it, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the priest kneeling in front of him with his eyes closed. , the single eye on the forehead exudes a dazzling silver-white streamer, which looks gorgeous and holy. However, when you look closely, you can see that his face is pale, his brows are twisted together, and his hands are clenched into fists. Obviously, he was suffering.

He is taking at least half of Ethan's pain.

Ethan was stunned. He didn't even know how the other party did it, but he just knew. He could feel Tanisel's breath lingering around him, like the most tender kisses and touches, and like a solid copper wall, blocking him from the sharp pain that was like a thousand needles.

At that moment, in the still unbearable pain, the shock that Ethan felt was indescribable. No one has ever done this for him before, even if it is used, it has never been so gentle.

He opened his mouth to tell Tanisel to stop, "I can..."

However, Tanithel interrupted him, "Don't make a sound."

Ethan had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, he still didn't dare to move or touch Tanisel. They sat facing each other like this, bearing the same pain. Time passed by minute by minute, as long as centuries. When the pain finally subsided, when the black lines on the back of Ethan's neck finally shrank and faded like a withered root system, Tanisel finally closed his third eye, and his clothes were completely soaked with sweat. And Ethan fell back on the sofa as if he was collapsed, panting with his mouth open, his eyes blank.

Tanissell propped himself up, sat on the sofa and pushed Ethan's body over, lifted his collar and looked at the back of his neck. Those black lines were almost gone, and only a small thin black line remained buried at the hairline.

"It seems to work." Tanisel's voice was also a little weak, but with a bit of peace of mind. He chuckled softly, "I think you probably don't want to inoculate the remaining four injections at once, do you?"

Ethan also laughed softly, turned his body hard, and looked at the priest sideways, "I changed my mind, I'll still become a god of entropy."

The two of them just slumped on the sofa, looking sideways at each other and smirking. The whole thing wasn't really funny, but Ethan just wanted to laugh and couldn't stop. He stretched out his hand to wipe his wet temples and brushed away his sweat-soaked hair, "Sometimes I really wonder, am I the most unlucky person in the world? Well, I just want to talk to someone, just talk about it and talk about it. When I entered the Forbidden City, I was sent to a ghost place like the Red Earth as soon as I came in, and I was also infected. It’s a pity that the Forbidden City does not allow you to buy sex.”

Tanissell raised the corners of his mouth, "But you met me?"

"...What's so good about meeting you?" Ethan said stubbornly.

Tanissell's beautiful eyes glanced at him sideways, "You look so happy every time you see me?"

"Did you know that human psychology calls you a narcissistic personality?"

"Do you know that your behavior is called changing the subject?"

Ethan laughed again, then slowly turned his head and looked at the priest's smooth and graceful profile seriously, "Why are you helping me like this?"

"I said you were important to me."

"Is my Tianyanxing bloodline? I believe that if you are looking for it, you should be able to find someone else, right? And I have mutated now, which means that my bloodline can't save me."

Tanithel shook his head, "You humans probably don't believe what we believe, but for us Eves, there is an intuition that transcends reason that guides our actions all the time, and we call it hypersensitivity. My Super sense tells me that you are the person I need."

"...you're right, I don't understand..."

"There's nothing to understand. The universe of the God of Entropy will always give you the illusion that everything happens for a reason and a result. But in fact, in the world of the God of Entropy, maybe something happens without any reason. It just happened." Tanissell also turned to look at him, "You don't have to try to understand anything, you don't have to try to control anything, live every minute and second of the moment, It will make you a lot easier."

"Live in the moment? Hahaha, it's easy to say." Ethan murmured, "I knew what my future life would be like since I was a child, but I never thought that one day I would become a monster."

"Before I was seven, I thought I would become an interstellar travel merchant, the kind that sells toys. Then when I was seven, I was taken into the Misa Emperor by an uncle who came to visit me every few months. That uncle was the Grand Duke of Eve and I was his illegitimate son. His first wife died of illness and left him no heir, so I was named his heir. Since then I thought I would inherit him Title, until I was seventeen years old, in order to be able to get in touch with the egg of the prelude to prolong the life of my dying father, I voluntarily accepted the soul purification ceremony and became a priest."

Ethan opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't speak. He'd never listened to Tanisel talking about himself, and the priest always seemed to take it easy, as if he was born to be a priest in control, so it never occurred to him that Tanisel was becoming a priest What life might have been like before.

Tanisel looked at his shocked face and showed a rare, somewhat tired smile, "Look, no one can imagine what they will become in the future."

"Then have you rescued your father?"

"No." Simple answer without any extra explanation. Tanisel sighed softly, barely audible.

In order to save his father, he abandoned worldly life in his youth and dedicated his body and mind to God, but it was all in vain.

No wonder he is always different from other Eve priests in his impression, no wonder he is always so deviant. I don't know if he, watching his father's breath, regretted his desperate choice at that moment

If Tanisel used to be like a demigod who was omnipotent in Ethan's heart, now he lies pale next to him, his brilliance is gone, but he finally looks like a flesh and blood man. Ethan felt a faint heartache in his heart, he leaned over and took the initiative to kiss Taniseer's forehead for the first time.

Tanisel raised his head and looked at those charming green eyes. He reached out and stroked Ethan's brow lightly, then suddenly lifted his face and kissed Ethan's lips again.

Lips and tongues intertwined, ears and temples rubbed together, and Ethan responded enthusiastically, with a certain ease of letting go of all shackles.

He would not admit that he might have had a genuine affection for the priest. But at least at this moment, he wants to embrace the blond man in front of him wholeheartedly, to forget the possible horror of the future, and to allow his heart, which was once torn once, to throb again, as if there was no Injured like that.

The author has something to say:

The last half sentence at the end refers to a sermon by Father Alfred D'Souza (but the author seems to be controversial?): Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So, Work like you don't need money. Love like you've never been hurt and Dance Like no one's watching.

Looking forward to being mutated by Junsensen, please wait patiently for a while...
