Chapter 102: A tremor from the depths of the soul
Why, why is it the way things are going this way?
Why can I only watch the photon kinetic energy in the seven mouths emit, but I can't stop his actions?
Why can I only watch Alex burn his life and launch the forbidden spell, but I can't awaken its consciousness?
Why is it that after all these years, I have gained inexhaustible wealth, learned powerful magic, and mastered so much knowledge, and I am still so powerless about all this?
Why can't I save my stupid son.......
Il's consciousness detached from his body, and he floated in the air, seeing 'himself' twist his neck and look at him with a sneer on his face.
Because you're too weak. The other 'self' replied.
Because the magic and knowledge are not really your own, you think you know everything, but unfortunately you don't understand anything at all.
Admit your incompetence, if I hadn't helped you, you wouldn't have died many times, and you would have been wiped out with seven fingers, you wouldn't really think you could get to where you are today, on your own, right? Oh dear, this is the funniest joke I've heard these days.
Who are you?' Il asked strangely, looking at his other 'self', and always feeling an indescribable strangeness.
Stop asking stupid questions, I, isn't that you?' The other 'self' looked sad, but quickly grinned and continued to speak. It's a shame that the dragon and the seven are ruined now, they should be of greater use.
Do you have a way to stop this? You must have a way, right?" Il, hearing 'himself' say this, hurriedly asked anxiously.
Stop? No, it's impossible to stop, we're too late.
So what do I do? I'm willing to do anything as long as I can save Alex. Il' pleaded with his other 'self' to find a way to protect the stupid dragon.
Are you sure? What, what are you willing?
I'm willing, I'll do anything as long as Alex survives!" said Eir firmly.
Alas, I really can't do anything about you, I helped you this time, and I was going to be discovered by them, and I rarely do a loss-making business. The other 'self' sighed, then frowned in annoyance and grumbled.
Okay, okay, I don't want anything to happen to them, and since you've already begged me, I'll help you once.
When Ilr heard him say this, he happily stepped forward and hugged another 'self', but he was just a mass of consciousness, and there was no substance, and at the same time he came into contact with 'himself', he felt dizzy for a while, followed by a painful feeling of suffocation, as if he had been pressed into the water by someone, no matter how he struggled, he could not break free, and could only slowly drown.
Suddenly, his eyes looked through the skull and saw his own cerebral cortex, on which countless bright red blood vessels and purple-blue nerves grew, and the whole brain was beating like a heart, the blood vessels and nerves were constantly trembling and wriggling, and they were even expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye!
At the other end of the blood vessel and the nerve, there is a chip embedded in the skull, which constantly emits a weak electric current to stimulate the purple-blue nerves. Ilr looked at all this at a loss, and in a trance, he felt that he was being 'seen' by the chip, and it was staring at him.
Remember what you said, you are willing to do anything, you owe me, I will let you pay it back.......
The voice of another 'self' sounded again, and the image in front of Il's eyes disappeared in an instant, and he blinked his eyes to find that he had returned to his body.
However, he moved quickly, and the speed probably could not be measured by time, and his body moved uncontrollably. In the blink of an eye, Il was in the air, and he didn't know how he managed to do it, but he did.
In a world deprived of color, in a space where the flow of time has stopped, Il has become the only special being.
Puff, puff, puff......
Ilr could clearly feel the beating of his brain, at first it was beating as fast as his heart, but then it changed the frequency of its beating, poof, poof!
His brain has exploded!
Then 'Il' stretched out his right hand, felt everything he could feel, opened his mouth, and said:
“......”
No, 'he' didn't say anything.
But Seven, who was still fixed in the posture of emitting photon kinetic energy shockwaves, had already begun to tremble uncontrollably, and the whole body was constantly shaking, and even the fixed head trembled, and the white pillar of light became extremely unstable, and there was a slight shift under this tremor.
And Naisa Alex's originally dead face began to twitch, it was obviously flying alone in the air, but it seemed to be haunted by something terrifying, its eyes widened in horror and waved its dragon claws, as if it was driving away something, such a demon dragon with the purest blood of an ancient dragon actually showed a look of fear!
Naisa Alex quickly lost control of the black pillar of light, it vibrated its wings and tried to escape, it flew higher and higher, but when it exhausted all its strength and could not escape the fear, Naisa Alex finally realized that the deep fear with great uneasiness and cold chill came from the bottom of its heart.
It was an emotion that Naisa Alex had never had, and it could not find a reason for it to have it, a fear that was different from the fear of death, and even more so than any other reason to make Naisa Alex feel afraid.
Through this cold fear, Naisa Alex saw the origin of life, and saw countless life forms struggling to stay alive.
Since the Big Bang, a particle of bacteria has accidentally descended on this world, and then single-celled organisms, complex life forms, soaked and washed by the dark and cold seawater, repeated in endless devouring and being devoured, and struggling to 'survive' in the division again and again without knowing what meaning it has, and has spent hundreds of millions of years rushing onto the land.
It saw the life that clinged to the stone wall and waited for a long time, the life that kept growing and trying to get closer to the warm sun, the life that spread a part of itself with the wind to farther and farther, the life that began to wriggle, the life that began to crawl, the life that had a protective shell, the life that could fly, the life that could swim, and the life that could run!
It saw the revelry of wolves, the roar of lions, the chaos of the world, and the cannibalism of humans.
Then it saw the extinction, the rapid death of all the life that had been born in 4.6 billion years in just a few seconds, all of them returning to the dark and cold water again, turning into a bacterium, and continuing the long wait.
......
If I had to put it into words, it would be the sum total of all the fears that have been buried in the genes after eons of evolution and experienced by countless species over countless long years!
The most instinctive trembling of the living body from the depths of the soul.
