Falling into the Abyss

Chapter 81: Atonement Mars (9)

Views:

Ethan has always had a hard time describing his relationship with his father in one word.

He seldom called his father Adrian Eldridge by the affectionate title of "Dad". It wasn't that Adrian abused him or did something that made him hold grudges, but that he always felt awkward to use such a title, as embarrassing as a relationship between gentlemen who had to forcibly call him brothers and sisters.

In fact, Ethan was raised by his father most of the time. My mother is either on a business trip, and even at home she is always immersed in her own music world, often distracted. As an Alpha, Adrian did not complain that his Omega didn't value his family. On the contrary, no matter how busy he was at work, he would still ensure that Ethan would not be ignored. If he is really busy, he will ask the company's assistant to bring him meals or send him to school.

When he was a child, Ethan's classmates were very envious of Ethan having such a handsome and tall father, who was so outstanding among parents of the same age, like a strange peak rising out of the blue sky. His broad-shouldered and sturdy waist often gave the Omega and Beta teachers the love in their eyes, so he was very attentive to little Ethan.

Father was cold, distant, and unsmiling most of the time. When Ethan was naughty when he was a child, he wouldn't get angry, nor would he be punished, but would just lock him in the closet and think about it. Usually the closing time does not exceed an hour, except once, when he was secretly playing the games in his father's portable capsule, he panicked when he heard his father suddenly come home, and threw the capsule full of important documents. into the water glass.

That time he was locked in a closet all day and night, and the constant crampedness and darkness made him panic. The disappointed look in his father's eyes before he closed the cabinet door made him shiver. Little children's minds are full of all kinds of terrifying fantasies. When the door finally opened, he secretly swore to himself that he would never make his father angry and disappointed again, and never go into that cabinet again.

And he did. He became a very sensible child. He finishes school homework on time every day, reads books and listens to music quietly in his room when he has nothing to do, never invites friends to stay at home for the night, and rarely participates in classmates' social activities, even if he does, it never exceeds twelve o'clock at night. After eating, I will remember to help my mother or father wash the dishes and clean the table, and take the initiative to wash the dirty clothes that I change every week. The room will never be as messy as a male beta or male Alpha of the same age.

His quietness and precocity were praised by neighbors and teachers, and his father praised him several times for it. He still remembered that when he showed his father the first grade in the class, there was a proud and gratified smile on his handsome face without too many expressions, and he rubbed his big hand that had never embraced him. Rubbing his hair, the palms are rough and warm, with a nostalgic temperature.

Ethan loved that smile and wanted more of it. So he started studying harder, trying to get into the school that his father had casually mentioned as "not bad", and trying to get an A in every subject. He collected his father's smile like a treasure, and even his first love once laughed at him for having a strong Electra complex and would do anything to please his father.

But he felt that this was just an obsession caused by the unwillingness of not getting the kind of fatherly love he had in mind.

"Do you think your father loves you?"

A simple question, but all the sour tastes evoked from the throat.

Ethan lowered his head, not knowing whether to answer the question or mutter, "I guess... sometimes love, sometimes hate."

Yes, sometimes he really felt that his father hated him. In fact, there is no obvious evidence for this kind of speculation, it is just a casual glance, a frown impatiently, and a look that seems to be somewhat relieved after he was sentenced.

The priest's footsteps stopped in front of him, and a deep, critical gaze fell on Ethan.

"You know, the last time Tanisel got your pre-mutation blood samples and DNA on Neptune, I also received those data. This time when I came to Earth, I made an application and transferred the DNA data of your parents, using Your data was compared to Adrian Eldridge's DNA. The results are very interesting." Theo Neil suddenly bent down slightly, facing him with a mysterious smile, the third eye on his forehead opened Halfway through, emitting a misty silver light, "You are not Adrian Eldridge's son."

Ethan looked at him blankly. The priest's words settled in his mind, like meaningless symbols spreading out little by little.

Then, his body began to tremble.

"You are talking nonsense!!!"

The priest tilted his head slightly and stared at Ethan, who was staring at him fiercely as if he were looking at a magical creature, "Don't get too excited. This doesn't mean your mother betrayed your father. Maybe it was just a one-night stand, maybe it was a misfortune. Forced, and even the most common belief in the past of your species, to believe that a man named Jesus is the Son of God, and that his mother was a virgin when she conceived him."

The priest's words cut Ethan's heart like a knife with a knife. He shook his head vigorously, and some kind of black began to spread on the back of his neck, "You shut up!!! Shut up!!!"

It must be a lie, it must be this cunning Eve's nonsense!

How could he not be his father's son? He only knew that father, who grew up with him every day!

Ethan's roar was as terrifying as a beast in the open environment, and the invisible air flowed rapidly, blowing the priest's long hair.

Thin black lines spread like blood vessels from the back of the neck to the cheeks, and the pupil in the center of the green iris also began to elongate. Seeing the remarkable changes that had taken place in him, the priest's expression gradually changed from playfulness to admiration with a bit of amazement. From a pocket hanging on his waist, he took out a broken egg of the goddess of preamble. It was exuding an unprecedentedly hot and dazzling blue light at the moment, and many curved ice blue lines were clearly bleating. on the eggshell surface.

Ethan was tensing up at the moment, the bridge of his nose wrinkled, and a ferocious expression of a beast about to attack the intruder. However, if you look closely, you will find that there is a lack of emptiness in his eyes, just like the blurred eyes of people when they are sleepwalking.

Theo Neil could feel an extremely powerful and evil aura in Ethan's chaotic and dark mind as if it had broken through some invisible barrier and roared towards his consciousness. The power of destruction made him understand that this was definitely not the spiritual power that originally belonged to human beings. He hurriedly opened the third eye completely, and at the same time quickly tapped on the egg of the Sequence God with his fingers, letting the blue brilliance quickly permeate the whole body like a wave of water. Even so, he could still feel the outrageous force impacting his mental barrier, causing bursts of sharp pain in his temples.

The Sequence God Egg in his hand suddenly became brighter, and he felt a turbulent flow of the Sequence God power that enveloped his entire body.

Sure enough, the closer it is to something with stronger entropy, the more unstable the egg of the Sequence God will be.

He has always suspected that the reason why the gods kept the eggs of the gods on the youngest planets was purposeful. It's not just for them to be discovered by their later creations. After all, the Sequence God, like the God of Entropy, never cared about their meaningless lives.

His hypothesis is that these eggs of the Sequence God are like a kind of bomb with a set threshold, and once it is detected that the entropy force has breached a certain threshold, it will activate some kind of purification function. What will be ushered in at that time is likely to be some kind of destructive polarizing force, in order to force back or even destroy the entropy god who is trying to plunder this deified universe.

If his conjecture is correct, then at the moment when the entropy god invades, the star of Eve, which has gathered many eggs of the order god, will be the first victim. Just like the detonation of hundreds of nuclear and hydrogen bombs at the same time, the entire planet and the entire Eve civilization will be completely polarized in an instant, turning into stable molecules floating forever in the universe.

This kind of hypothesis of his has made many priests of the Preface sneer, thinking that he is alarmist. The priests of the presuppositions who are considered to be the mainstream firmly believe that since the presuppositions allow advanced civilizations to appear, these eggs are left to them to further manage the universe. Even the priests of the god of entropy believe that it is impossible for the god of entropy to break through the barrier of the string frequency and enter the universe of the order god. And there are so many parallel universes that don't just happen to enter their so-called first universe.

Of course, this statement was shaken after the Red Earth event and the success of Neptune's second universe experiment, so Eve was willing to hand over an egg of the Sequence God and work with the Earth Alliance to research and develop its functions. Obviously, most of the temples are reluctant to throw the "sacred relic" containing super intelligence that they have enshrined for so long to the alien galaxy.

If Tanithel's theory is correct, and if what the young man who is crazier than him is telling the truth, then the closer Ethan is to the mutated state, the more excited this egg of the prelude will be.

He slammed his heart, grabbed Ethan's right hand that was locked on the armrest, forcibly opened the fingers that were tightly clasped together like eagle claws, and stuffed the egg of the Sequence God, which kept emitting some kind of low-frequency tremor, into him. Right palm.

All of a sudden, a gigantic spiritual force burst out, accompanied by a non-human hissing sound from Ethan, Theo Neil felt as if his brain had been punched, dizzy, and two thick roses. Nosebleeds gushed out suddenly, and a fishy smell appeared in his throat.

However, Ethan slammed away the egg of the goddess in his hand as if his hand had been scalded, but the blue dim light had already spread to him. He screamed, as if someone was flaying him alive. At the same time, the black blood vessels spreading on his face and shoulders and neck quickly diminished, and the slender pupils returned to their original shape. Then, he rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.

Theonier breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the entropy in Ethan has not yet reached the point where the egg of the other-order god is out of control. To be precise, the entropy in his body is far from enough to break out the egg of another order god, but it is enough to prevent his body from being polarized in a simple contact with the egg body. Even, he may be able to control the egg of the order god more freely than the ordinary Eve blue-robed priest.

With Ethan's coma, the entire pure white room fell silent again. The chief priest has asked the Earth Alliance not to spy on the process of using the egg of the prologue on the experimental body. Judging from the situation he perceives, there is no sign of those staff lying to him.

But it is difficult to guarantee that the other party has no other means to monitor him. He also needed to think about how to write the report for a while. After all, they need this descendant of the Tianqi star, but they can't let the Earth Alliance be executed as a monster.

Theonier stood up straight, his face was pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and the white of one eye was bleeding, and the wet blood from his nose stained the sacrificial robe on his body, looking very embarrassed. He hadn't been so rude in years.

After all, it was the first time he had seen such a successful individual who mutated after being infected by the God of Entropy.
