Falling Into The Abyss - Vol 2 Chapter 131
The moment when the fingers are intertwined, it seems to span a lifetime.
But the next moment, the sky was completely torn apart. The original sky is gone, replaced by countless incomprehensible colors and clumps. No human being can understand what it is and cannot collect its full picture. It is everywhere, contains everything, swallows everything. It is the end and beginning of life, and the end and beginning of the universe. With Asathos invading this world little by little, the Second Universe also swallowed from the edge of the solar system all the way inward at a speed hundreds of times faster than before. Many space stations were twisted into a clump of steel in an instant. The original hard material was twisted and deformed like mucus. The human body merged with inanimate architectural furniture. People even felt the pain before they could feel the pain. The suddenly changed laws of the universe shattered into floating molecules.
A group of short and brilliant flames ignited in space, and then even the huge Saturn and Jupiter were swallowed, and they were scattered into thousands of stardust in an instant, burst into beautiful fireworks, and then blacked out. The second universe swallowed.
The invasion was so rapid that it quickly approached the command center where Roland and others were located. The lawmakers evacuated in a panic, but the Second Universe infection is rapidly spreading to all corners of the solar system, and they have been surrounded.
The invasion of Asathos was too powerful, once it started to become impossible to stop.
Ethan let out a painful cry, and his spirit was torn apart. His memory is vague, he has begun to forget his parents’ names, and even his own names, his cognition has also been problematic, and the colors in front of him are scattered into meaningless fragments. He couldn’t tell where was the spirit of Asathos and where he was. Exhausted and painful, he could only watch his hand holding Tanisel turn into sharp claws, and watch the black infect the skin on the back of his hand.
He is going to disappear.
Probably because after staying in the hands of Xu Shen for a long time, it was contaminated with Xu Shen’s breath. Tanisir and the skin he touched obviously seemed to have been burned, making a hissing sound and steaming smoke. . He also groaned in pain, but didn’t let go.
“It’s too late… It’s too late…” Ethan murmured, trying to release Tanithel’s hand, “Go…Go…”
But Tanithel didn’t let go, but slammed forward and hugged Ethan.
At that moment, both of them experienced the ultimate pain… It was a hundred times more torment than the wall of pain where the solution of the Order God’s egg wrestled with entropy in the body, as if every cell in the body had become a bomb After the explosion, the blood turned into lava and burned, and the internal organs were melting.
In this intense pain, their spirits entered a short illusion in order to escape.
It was a familiar illusion, the illusion of Tanithel.
The blue-blue water pool is flat like a mirror, with some burgundy ring-shaped leaves occasionally floating on it. Many shrubs grow around the pond, with translucent blue and purple leaves intertwined and overlapping. The most conspicuous giant tree, the trunk needs about ten people to hug, and there are rose-red heart-shaped leaves about the size of a human hand, like a vast sunset fairy cloud, from which many light white silk ribbons hang, with The breeze style floats.
Ethan was a little hard to believe that he actually appeared here. He blinked blankly and looked down at his body.
His body is slightly transparent, and the shape of his internal organs can almost be seen.
He wanted to choke a bit. Obviously I have been mentally prepared, knowing that I will disappear, but I really realize that from now on, I really will not exist, and all the evidence of my existence will disappear. From then on, nothing happens in this universe. It has nothing to do with him. Thinking of this, he still has some uncontrollable sadness.
His life, from boring loneliness to turning upside down, from one kind of loneliness to another, is about to end.
Hands quietly stretched out from behind him, and gently embraced his body. The breath of Tanisel surrounded him like a warm wind, making his disintegrating spirit feel a moment of peace.
“You’re really not dead.” Ethan asked with a choked voice.
“No.”
“What happened? I saw that you were pulled away by something while the curvature was flying…”
Could it be that it was not Nyarlatotep who took Tanisir, but Prologue?
“I can’t remember… I do remember that I was caught by something drilled out of the ground… But then… there were only scattered fragments.” Tanithel’s voice seemed to be dazed and nonsense. Okay, “I just remember that there is that kind of foggy white everywhere, I can’t see anything, I can only hear their voices. They say a lot of things, telling me that only I can save this universe and can save you.” Speaking of this, Tanisel suddenly laughed softly, “To be honest, I don’t care if I can save the universe, but I know I can’t ignore you.”
Tanithel’s voice was so gentle and full of comforting power. Ethan turned around and stared into Tanithel’s eyes earnestly. He stretched out his hand indefinitely, trying to touch Tanithel, but he found that his touch had disappeared, and he didn’t feel anything to the touch, as if he was turning into a gas-like substance.
He was sad, and looked at Tanithel faintly, “It’s too late, you should run away.”
“No, it’s too late!” Tanithel grabbed his shoulders with both hands, although Ethan didn’t know if he could really grab him, “Listen to me, don’t care what Nyarlatotep said to you Believe that he is afraid of you, afraid that you will resist, so he dared not surrender to you! Asathos is fragile in this universe, because here is the universe ruled by the God of Order, and he needs your body Only then can he exist here for a long time. Moreover, although he has endless madness, he is irrational and self-conscious, just like an unattended beast. And you are Nyarlatotepu’s Descendants, your spiritual power far exceeds that of human beings. If you are in the Entropy God universe, you may be really powerless, but here you have the ability to use your consciousness to tame and suppress him! Because this is your body, yours universe!”
Ethan stared at him blankly, but didn’t quite believe what he said, “I can’t…I can’t resist…”
“Think about the happy days when you were a kid.” Tanithel stretched out his arms and hugged Ethan in his arms. “You have experienced a lot of misfortune and a lot of unfairness, which makes you hate the world. .But is there nothing in this world that you want to keep? Maybe there will be many children who want to go to the amusement park before they can go, and there are many introverted children like me who have not had time yet Find friends, and maybe there are many people like Samuel who have not had time to show their true self. Don’t you want to fight for those beautiful things?”
Ethan was silent. He has forgotten what beautiful things look like.
Since entering the forbidden city, he seems to be farther and farther away from this word. What you see, hear, and feel is the hatred and betrayal between people. He really couldn’t imagine, what else is worthy of nostalgia.
Tanithel gently stroked the back of his head, holding him tighter, “If you can’t imagine, just think of us. Remember the first time we met on the spaceship? I took you from That person saved him and helped you and Samuel. Do you remember?”
Ethan’s memory went back to that time in an instant, and he smiled unconsciously, “I remember…but that was not the first time we met…”
“Isn’t it?”
“I saw you just when I got on the boat. But you didn’t see me.” Ethan raised his head, with a trace of sadness in his smile, “At the time you might have thought that the person you were looking for was Samuel.”
Tanithel felt a little pain in his heart, and felt distressed for Ethan. He caressed Ethan’s cheek pityingly, “Blame me for bad eyesight. Just punish me to keep looking at you from now on?”
Ethan leaned his head on the shoulder of the priest. If he could still cry now, he should already be in tears. But he has nothing now, only as close as possible to the priest. If he really wants to disappear in the end, he hopes to be here, slowly dispersing in the arms of the priest.
Tanithel’s voice was no longer stable, with a trembling tremor, “Do you remember, I helped you get the inhibitor for Samuel on the spaceship, and you owe me a favor. I said I would ask you to do something for me.”
Ethan thought for a long time, only vaguely found the node from the scattered memory. He looked at Tanithel in confusion, “Now?”
“Well, it’s now.” Tanithel lifted his cheeks with both hands and stared at him intently, “I want you to survive for me.”
Ethan’s eyes widened slightly, and his lips flicked, making him speechless. He never thought that Tanithel’s last request was actually this.
“Ethan, you are not the only one who lost everything. I am the only one now, do you have the heart to leave me?” Tanithel’s tenderness is also filled with a layer of sorrow that cannot be removed. Similar to lonely people can appreciate it.
At that moment, in the real world, in the vortex formed by countless terrifying tentacles, two black tears were slowly left in those green eyes whose eyes had become hollow.
And in the illusion, under the poignant red giant tree, Ethan also raised his head, raised his toes slightly, and kissed Tanithel’s lips.
“I have always been… I just want to be with you…” Ethan sighed as he rubbed his lips, and slowly closed his eyes.
“There is a saying, I didn’t realize that I should have said it to you until the moment I died.” Tanithel whispered to the corner of his lips, “I think I might fall in love with you.”
Perhaps this is what Ethan has been waiting for all his life.
Perhaps this is his final salvation.
Perhaps, he can try again for this sentence one last time. Even if he was faced with the source of madness and chaos, he was no longer afraid of the power that was enough to overwhelm the entire interstellar civilization.
He has hope again.
So, when Asathos’s madness dyed those former green eyes red, when the black tentacles dripped with chaotic flames tearing the front end of the huge Prologue God before them, when different rapid invasions quickly appeared around the earth The entropy **** cosmic whirlpool suddenly, a trace of uneasy shaking appeared deep in the eyes of “Asathos”.
Not far away, Nyarlatotepu roared in a language that no interstellar civilization could interpret, and his anger immediately ignited the cylindrical and weaker Prologue God who was closer to him. The earth was trembling violently, the mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and hot lava erupted from the volcanoes. The core was no longer stable, and the blue planet was about to fall apart.
And this is just the beginning of the entropy of the first universe, and soon the entire galaxy will fall into an eternal darkness.
unless……
The author has something to say:
If nothing else, the next chapter ends. The ending feels difficult to determine whether it is HE or BE. Personally, I think it is the ending that is not to be abused…
In fact, the most cunning thing is Xu Shen…doing big things silently…
