Chapter 13: Fighting God

The icy water overflowed.

It's cold that pierces the bone marrow.

In this extremely cold purgatory, Aros didn't know how long it had sunk.

I don't know if it was the sensations in my body that were awakened by the cold, or something else, but Iros gained a sense of the world.

On the sides of his cheeks, fish-like gills appeared, which allowed Eros to breathe and stay alive in the water, a new feature that emerged after "self-liberation".

The so-called fourth transcendent ability actually does not possess any characteristics of supernatural ability, and even Aeros is completely unable to master this ability.

This is just a violent run of genes in his body, the result of him untying all the shackles and releasing all the genes of the corpse that he once "collected".

If each corpse preserves the "trajectory" of evolution, then the assimilation process of the corpse collector is to extract the useful and harmless parts of these trajectories and promote their own strength.

For other harmful and uncontrollable parts, the corpse collector will choose to store them in the "showroom" deep in the body, and "self-liberation" is to break the glass of the showroom and release all these uncontrollable parts.

This is also the reason why Eros twisted into a monster, it is because countless evolutionary factors work in his body, pulling his body to change where the evolutionary factors want.

His body at the moment is like a violently colliding nuclear reactor, which will produce terrifying mutations at any time.

In the past, the mutation of his body might have been a big problem, but now, Eros doesn't have the time or ability to care.

The icy water flowed by, and countless images began to unfold in front of Eros's eyes with the current, and Eros felt that he was falling into an even more wonderful state.

In his mind, the anger had completely dissipated, and he seemed unusually calm now, but he couldn't think at the moment, he could only feel that time was flowing, and he was sinking.

All the memories were packed into pieces, piece by piece in front of his eyes, the flowing cold lake water, is his past, he wanted to wave his palm to feel the flow of the lake, but he didn't know why he wanted to feel it.

In Eroth's mind, he couldn't organize effective thoughts at the moment, his thoughts couldn't be combined, he could see, he could hear, but he couldn't miss, he felt that his brain was so heavy, his body was so light.

It wasn't a painful situation, but Eros couldn't even make it feel like crying.

What am I going to do? Who is doing to me? Who am I?

All memories are as if they do not belong to him, everything is far away, being extracted, used, observed by someone.

The silent ghost beneath the icy lake, starting from that forest, haunted Eroth, making him weep, angry, and unconscious, and his terrible power pierced into Eroth's weak will.

The will of mortals, the cognition of mortals, is so vulnerable in the face of truly terrifying forces, it is played with at will, like a glass ball in the palm of your hand.

Eventually, "He" finally wanted to come out and have a conversation with Eroth, in a very provocative way.

"He" begins to play a fragment of Eroth's memories.

First paragraph.

It's the situation of Eros at the pass.

At that time, the blue leaves in the sky accompanied him, allowing him to soar into the sky, rushing through the pass at great speed, dodging the crazy dancing attraction stones.

Although Eroth travels quickly, he inevitably collides with those small rocks during the flight, and he does not have the protection of the spatial power like Joey, so that the power of the stones can be slowed down.

He slammed into the small rocks, their speed making them deadly threats, and he felt a clear and clear pain every time a stone landed on Eroth's face.

This pain caused his body to bleed and his internal organs began to be damaged, and at this time, Joey's "soul suppression" also began to work at the same time, allowing him to slowly get out of the angry state he had gained under the tree, unblocking part of it, and making him partially conscious.

In this moment of sobriety, Eros quickly made a decision, and immediately used "self-liberation" to release all the evolutionary factors in his body.

The power brought by "self-liberation" allowed him to break free from the shackles of the cyan leaves, and he slammed into the mountain wall on the side with all his strength, the violent impact brought him more damage, and the strong stimulation made the power of "Soul Suppression" better volatilized.

It also gave him more time to be sober.

He was dragged by the cyan leaves, and flew up again along the mountain wall, and then he struck and flew again, and the whole process was a process of competition, like a flying machine bouncing between the mountain walls.

Each collision gave Aroth more time to wake up and allow him to think of ways to break the game.

In the process of thinking, Aylos discovers that he has been able to sober himself for a longer period of time through self-persuasion.

This so-called self-persuasion is actually to find a reason for yourself not to do something.

This is what Eros has guided Joey to do later, as long as he can sense a valid enough reason, he can get time to wake up.

Although he himself couldn't explain the principle, it was the case, and he quickly took advantage of this discovery, constantly hypnotizing himself to find a reason for his sobriety.

Slowly, he soberly passed through the pass densely packed with attraction stones, and in the process, due to the constant collision with the mountain wall, his body was also wrapped in a large number of attraction stones and Wings of Freedom leaves, which made his body too large.

This memory is also ended by Eros flying out of the valley.

In the middle of this, the mastermind behind the manipulation of Eros's memories also kept pulling out some of Eros's thoughts in this waking process to watch, and examined Eros's possible counterattacks.

In this memory, Eros already had some vague speculation about who was behind it, including his motives, behavior, and ideas on how to counter him.

Eros thought quickly, thoughts flashed, calculations followed, and the people behind the scenes scrutinized very carefully, refusing to let go of any hidden details.

He wanted Eros to be completely sorted out from top to bottom, so as not to be calculated by Eros.

He is serious and cautious enough to deal with the enemy, no matter how weak he is, and refuses to let go of any loophole.

After examining this memory, "He" began to play a second memory.

The second memory is about the part where Eros fell onto a frozen lake.

Eloth's fall into the ice lake was a very brisk process.

The leaves of the Wings of Freedom fell a lot on the way, because he kept colliding with the mountain wall, and his body was constantly wrapped in the leaves, and when he finally landed, only a few leaves were left to support, which made him fall directly from mid-air.

However, because the height is not high, and after his "self-liberation", his physical fitness has been extremely terrifyingly increased, so such a fall did not cause him enough damage.

As soon as Eros landed on the surface of the glacial lake, he felt his body constantly falling, although he saw that the ice was already covered with ice, but in fact, the attraction was not diminished at all, and his body passed through the ice without warning, and touched the water of the glacial lake.

There seemed to be a voice calling to him under the water, but Aeros couldn't hear what the voice was saying, but as the voice sounded, all kinds of negative states began to bless Aros.

This includes, but is not limited to, amnesia, cognitive dissonance, emotional out-of-control, and other negative states.

These negative states made Eros incapacitated to resist, and he could only let his body continue to sink.

But fortunately, at the last moment, Aros used his mutated body to wrap the ice lake water into his flesh and blood, and the extremely cold temperature gave him extreme stimulation, allowing him to gain a trace of consciousness.

With this sobriety, he quickly used the method of self-persuasion to keep struggling upward, but the force also intensified with Eroth's resistance, and every time he tried to break free, the terrible net became tighter.

Eventually, Eros could no longer break free from the net, and he stood motionless on the ice, his thoughts growing and dying, frantically convincing himself not to go under the ice.

But this was only the last stubborn resistance, and he almost exhausted his wisdom, giving countless reasons, until in the end he could only repeat some of the reasons he had said before.

Repetition means less utility, because the net is constantly adjusting to what Eros persuaded him to say, constantly touching his psychological bottom line.

In the process of this stubborn resistance, Eloth waited for Joey, and he shouted out the words with his last strength, and with Joey's help, he was given time to breathe.

His consciousness also gradually awakened in this process, sorting out the purpose of the person behind the scenes, he is alone at the moment, the most valuable thing in his body is his body that has evolved many times, it is obvious that the people behind the scenes want this.

Based on this purpose of the people behind the scenes, Ayros devised a plan to die together.

At this point, all of Eros's thoughts and experiences were stripped of their original form, and he watched them one by one behind the scenes.

Eros could only float between the waters, silent, unhappy or angry.

"He" examined Eloth's ideas for a long time, but he was still not satisfied with his results, according to "He" analysis of the man's "brain domain", "he" felt that this man and a man should have more and better ideas and methods.

But "He" didn't see these thoughts, and the man deliberately used a lot of complicated thoughts to cover up that part of his thoughts, and "He" searched for them, but he didn't find the real information from these huge thoughts.

So, "He" decided to talk to him, trying to parse out the man's true thoughts from the conversation.

"Your body is useless to me, all the data has been saved. ”

"He" sounds a bit like a mechanical sonata, gears coupled and sawing.

Eroth's consciousness slowly returned to his mind, and he began to be able to think and remember.

However, he restrained his thinking at the first time, and he immediately set himself a goal, that is, to think more things wildly, so that more irrelevant thoughts filled his mind.

After completing this layer of protection, he slowly spoke, "Then please let me float up." ”

What the mechanical voice said was an obvious deception, and Ayros reacted immediately and made a request for countermeasures.

"He" immediately adjusted after confirming that the deception was ineffective, and "He" preached, "Your means of dying together are too clumsy to be ineffective against me." ”

"So what are you waiting for, come and take my body!" Eros said almost defiantly.

The place where the two of them were talking was under the ice, between the lake, so in fact, no one made a sound, and it was a battle of words at the level of consciousness.

The situation was a little frozen at this moment, and Aroth relied on the information he had covered up, so that "he" did not dare to occupy Aros's body like this, and "he" was afraid that Aros would be deceitful.

However, this stalemate situation is not a particularly complicated situation for "Him", and the way to break the situation is also very simple, just dismantle it violently.

The conversation just now made Alos inevitably think about it, and as long as he conducted a "directional search" according to the direction of these thoughts, he could find the information that Alos had hidden.

The overall situation has been decided, as long as the hidden thoughts of Aros are discovered, this battle at the level of consciousness will be considered a victory for "Him".

Removing the fragments of thoughts and unraveling the mixed memories, "He" gradually went deeper in the right direction, and slowly found the last thought ...... "Him".

There is only one sentence for that idea.

"I never wanted to die together, I want to win!"
