Falling Into The Abyss - Vol 2 Chapter 113
Hermon Star, located on the border of the Third Reich, is not a planet suitable for human survival. It has a thin atmosphere, excessive sulfur dioxide content, and no liquid water. Due to the distance from the star, the climate here is extremely cold, and you need to wear a spacesuit to walk out.
When the spacecraft of the Ophiuchus Alliance landed, there were already two other Third Reich spacecraft anchored in orbit near the planet. Those were the search and rescue teams sent by the Third Reich government. At the same time, an Evestar spacecraft has also entered orbit, participating in search and rescue operations together.
Obviously, the Ophiuchus Alliance did not tell the Third Reich that Ethan was also on board. Fortunately, the helmet of the spacesuit was difficult to see from the outside. Ethan and Samuel were able to ride a small plane with several other Ophiuchus soldiers. The spacecraft landed on Black Gate Star. They skimmed across the thin, iron-blue sky, and ravines on the desolate and barren land, like deep wrinkles carved out by the years.
In a deep valley lay the largest part of the Eve spacecraft. The steel elliptical remnant was inserted obliquely on the cliff, and the exposed steel frame pointed to the sky, and it was impossible to tell which part of the spaceship was originally. Metal fragments and burnt cloth seats were scattered all over the valley, dragging a long trace, looking shocking.
Some Third Reich search and rescue personnel are still searching for the main brain’s hard drive fragments in the largest wreckage, hoping to recover some of the information before the crash. There is a temporary search and rescue base on the edge of the wreckage area, where most of the analysis will be completed.
“The corpse was not found, but the degree of disintegration… It is possible that even the corpse was burned…” A search and rescue worker shook his head regretfully.
“But we are trying to restore some of the latest hard drive information, and maybe we can get more information.” Another Third Reich technician told Roland, “The central intelligence program of the main brain seems to have been shut down. According to video records, One person entered the curvature flight mode while awake.”
There was an uproar, and many soldiers looked at each other, whispering, how could anyone do such crazy things. Samus looked worriedly at Ethan in front of him. Ethan was still standing quietly, unable to see his expression.
Roland asked, “Then what happened to this person?”
“The image records in the middle of the curvature flight are seriously missing and seem to be disturbed. From what we have found now, we seem to have heard people screaming, and there are many vague…unexplainable images…if you want If you look at it, I can show it to you, but since it was restored later, it is very vague.”
Then Ethan saw the image.
A shaky, fuzzy image. It can only be vaguely seen that it is in the cockpit of the spacecraft. It seems that a blond person is trying to get up from the ground, but then…and then Ethan is not sure what he saw…
A lot of black shadows came out from the walls and from the ground…like a human shape, but not…a lot of insect-like arms, tentacles, constantly changing shapes…
They surrounded the blond man in the middle from all directions, a painful scream penetrated from the harsh electric current, and Ethan’s heart twitched fiercely. Then, it all came down to the shaking and chaotic snowflakes.
Ethan did not 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 abruptly and walked out of the base. Samus called him from behind and ran after him.
Ethan sprinted all the way, ignoring the search and rescue personnel of the Third Reich passing by, and walked straight to the wreckage stuck in the rock wall. He heard his heavy breathing and felt cold sweat oozing out of his palms. He remembered that Tanisir touched his heart softly at the end, remembered the kiss that Tanisir last landed on his forehead, and remembered Tanisir’s words to him: I heard that the sunset of Moaña is very Beauty, live well, take a look for me.
And the scream that makes people tremble from the bones…
He had never heard such a painful voice from a priest, even when he was suffering from the battle between order and entropy in his body, or when he was being dragged out of the cocoon for him.
Those black shadows… are not things in this universe… What happened during the curvature flight?
Ethan placed his hand on the metal wall that was so hot that it melted, and his other hand suddenly tore off the helmet. The rescuers who saw him commit such suicidal behavior involuntarily inhaled air-conditioning. In such a harsh atmospheric environment, people exposed to the air for less than three minutes would be poisoned by sulfur dioxide, which could lead to kidney failure and even death. Not to mention these, just the cold that is not suitable for human survival will cause frostbite in an instant.
A search and rescue crew rushed to rescue him, but saw Ethan gestured to them. The cold wind lifted his dark brown hair, and his green eyes shone in the darkness. He closed his eyes, raised his head, smelling something in the air like an animal. He worked hard to settle his mind and calm himself down, trying to find a trace of Tanithel in the pungent atmosphere of this planet. At the same time, he was looking for the broken soul bond in his mind, hysterically allowing himself to perceive, to find the missing other half.
But I can’t smell, there is nothing. There was also dead silence in his mind, and he couldn’t feel anything.
In the cocoon before, he could already perceive some distant and ancient memories, and perceive some souls that did not belong to this universe. But none of these extraordinary perceptions can help him now. Tanithel seemed to have evaporated, leaving no trace, not even a corpse.
“This is the price of betraying faith. You made him deviate from the contract he made with Fuxing Chaos. He already knew his end.”
Ethan suddenly turned around and saw an Eve wearing a lightweight spacesuit and a transparent helmet on his head. Handsome and elegant face, long brown hair tied behind his head, and the third eye between his forehead is open, obviously through that eye and direct mental communication with him.
It’s Theo Neal.
Ethan was about ten steps away from him, and a sharp cold wind whistled between them.
“You killed him.” Ethan said coldly.
Sior Neal is probably the only person who has not shown fear of him so far. The priest looked at him with a half-sorrowful and half-hateful look, and responded, “No, you killed him. You confused his mind and made him forget his duty.”
“I confused him?” Ethan laughed suddenly, the laughter from low to high, until the end he looked a little crippled. Obviously Tanisel confuses him with those charming gray eyes, with the gentle and soothing voice, with the clean and slender rescue hand, right? Why did it all become his fault to say it from these people?
Should he lie on their altar obediently, waiting for the core of the universe to burn his soul to ashes?
Is he born to be sacrificed?
Didn’t he work hard to be an ordinary person and live without hard work?
Is it the best ending if he disappears completely?
But after another thought, does he care what these people think? These trivial ants.
Now he doesn’t need to be emotional for unrelated people. He only needs to get someone, this is the promise he made to himself.
So Ethan stopped the laughter, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and shot five barbed tentacles from the top of his five fingers at the same time, which instantly wrapped tightly around the head and neck joints of The O’Neill outer spacesuit. At this moment, as long as he exerts a little effort, the spacesuit will be broken into pieces, and this hateful Eve will die of sulfur dioxide poisoning.
Screams of fear sounded from all directions, and a soldier of Eve immediately took out a weapon and aimed at him not far away.
However, Sionier was still calm, and even signaled the Eve soldiers behind him not to do anything. This makes Ethan very upset.
“I remember I heard Tanisir say that in the ultimate chaos, time and space will be confused, and the dead can be reborn. It is for this that he signed a contract with Nyarathotep, right?”
Theo Neal nodded slightly. “Yes.”
“As long as Atathathos comes, this can be done… right?”
“Not bad.”
“What descent ritual did you originally want to perform to allow him to descend?”
“To open the spiritual channel between you and him, he can manipulate your body from another universe.”
“But I won’t die?”
“No. I just don’t know if your consciousness will still exist. After all, the consciousness of the core of the universe can’t be withstood by any soul.” Theonilton paused, then added, “But you are the chaos and the sky. The son of the descendants of Ma Xing, maybe your consciousness will not disappear.”
Ethan pursed his lips, and finally asked, “How did the sacrificing ceremony work?”
This time, The O’Neill showed a mocking sneer, but his smile was a little bleak, “It’s too late. That ceremony should be performed within 72 hours before you are about to enter adulthood, but you have already Entering adulthood.”
“……that’s it?”
“that’s it.”
“I don’t believe it!” Ethan applied force with his fingertips, and Sior Neill heard a crackle from the bottom of his helmet. The angry child of Chaos in front of him exudes a terrible black aura that is invisible to the naked eye of human beings. Those black auras cover the sky and the sun, like the black sun falling down, almost making him unable to suppress his inner fear. 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 man on earth who raised you.” Theo’Neill’s sharp gaze was projected over ten steps away, “I’m talking about your real father.”
