Chapter 91: Eternals
"Tenochtitlan ......"
Oakes frowned, it was true that the people outside did not look Mediterranean, but a bit like Mexican.
And the place name Tenochtitlan may not have been heard of by ordinary people.
But Oakes had seen it while browsing myths and stories from around the world.
It was the largest city in the Western Hemisphere more than 500 years ago, the capital of the Aztec Empire, and later fell by the Spaniards, and the ruins are located underground in what is now Mexico City.
"This city has been extinct for nearly five hundred years......"
Oakes turned his head and glanced at the people outside:
"These people have been living here for so long?"
"By this year, 490 years, twenty generations."
Zhuke's smiling face fell silent, and his eyes seemed to flicker with the raging fire of that night 490 years ago:
"In 1521, the genocide that took place in Tenochtitlan made me decide to take them with me to isolate from the world—
I can't save everyone, but at least I can save the people around me. ”
“……”
Oakes let out a sigh of relief—Zhuke's words are very informative.
Experienced the rise of Sumerian civilization and became familiar with the Babylonian kingdom, before the seclusion was 490 years ago......
"But you don't seem like an 'old man' who has been through thousands of years, not in terms of appearance."
Enduring the increasingly heavy sense of disobedience, Oakes found a seat and sat down:
"Also, is it really appropriate to say so much to me as a stranger?"
"Your abilities are special and make me feel ...... There's some long-lost intimacy. ”
Zhu Ke chuckled and returned to his seat, and someone from the villagers outside the door walked in and brought tea to the two of them.
And this time, Oakes finally discovered where the sense of disobedience came from.
"You...... Controlling the spirits of these people?! ”
He frowned and looked at Zhu Ke, who was still smiling just now, with a serious expression:
"Is this what you're capable of? Why are you doing this? ”
"It's about protecting them from the outside world and from themselves."
The smile on Zhuke's face disappeared:
"Young people...... The human world is full of wars and killings, and human cannibalism has never stopped from the moment of civilization.
Even now, human society and technology have reached unprecedented heights, and these things are still the same as they were 7,000 years ago.
The only difference is that the scale of cannibalism is becoming more and more unprecedented. ”
Zhuke calmly looked at the stern-faced Oaks, and under his control, the villagers gathered and silently confronted the chapel.
"City-state wars, kingdom wars, continental wars, world wars......
Cold weapons, cavalry regiments, muskets, artillery, aircraft tanks, nuclear weapons......
Contradictions kill each other, violence kills each other, fear kills each other, greed kills each other, and beliefs kill each other......
Tell me, young man, why are human beings, the masters of civilization on this planet, so keen on killing each other?
And if you have the ability to stop it, you have to stand by and watch for 7,000 years and watch the tragedy repeat itself again and again......
How would you do it? ”
"Seven Thousand Years ......"
Oakes was silent.
That's basically the length of human civilization.
The Sumerian civilization in the Mesopotamian Plain, the valley of the two rivers, is recognized as the earliest center of human civilization, with a history of about 7,000 years.
"Who are you?"
Oakes glanced at the silent villagers outside, and their eyes all turned the same metallic color as the current Zhuke:
"Aliens who claim to be gods? Don't you know that controlling a person's mind is the greatest blasphemy against human nature! ”
“…… I'm not God, we' aren't God. ”
Zhu Ke was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, a trace of confusion flashed on his face:
"Although the decision was made and left them...... But I still haven't figured out whether we're really helping humanity build a better world. ”
"Our mission...... Could it be wrong? ”
"You say...... 'you'?!"
Oakes had to laugh wryly.
The person in front of him with a strange cosmic energy is not alone.
And he alone has such a terrifying ability - he can rule the world alone as long as he wants.
But such a person, not only has companions, but also came to the earth because of some 'mission'!
The only good news now is that he seems to have fallen out with his companions.
"I've talked a lot today, young man—it's time for you to leave."
After being silent for a long time, Zhu Ke slowly stood up and folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen:
"And I don't want to be exposed to human society yet...... So, I'm sorry, I need to clear your memory. ”
"You're thinking too much."
An emerald green glow rose all around Oakes, and he was surprised to see that the already dry branches of a thick tree that ran through the chapel were rapidly growing new leaves!
At the moment when Zhuke's attention was diverted, Oakes' figure disappeared!
"Interesting abilities."
The corners of Zhu Ke's mouth hooked up a smile, for humans, his mind control is completely irresistible.
"Even if you're invisible, I'm ...... What?! ”
The smile on Zhuke's lips froze as next to his neck was a ...... with dagger-sharp claws Claws?!
"Druid...... I see. ”
Thinking of the peculiarity of the druids in Celtic mythology, Zhuke sighed:
"But as soon as you show up......"
"Stop, you ...... Belch! ”
Oaks snorted, and in a burst of light, he directly changed back into human form!
Oaks, who didn't want to meet and saw the red, was beaten by Zhuke and was mentally traumatized-
No matter how magical the force of nature is, this is also a kind of magic, and spiritual power is the key to manipulating magic!
Zhuke was not able to directly control Oakes's spirit, but his powerful cosmic energy greatly shook Oaks's spirit!
Druid spells, whether it's beast transformation, plant control, or astral energy......
It's all magic!
"Your spirit is peculiar...... Protected by a special energy. ”
Zhu Ke subconsciously touched his neck, and there was a thin streak of blood there:
"But as long as you're a smart being, you can't get past me."
"I'm an Eternals from Olympia, Zhuk, and that's the end of today's meeting—
Nice to meet you, and then, goodbye. ”
His eyes turned metallic, and the spiritual power under the enhancement of cosmic energy was about to increase the output, destroying Oakes' spiritual protection in one fell swoop!
"Roaring ——!"
With a roar that looked like an eagle and a beast, Zhu Ke was shocked to see that the red-haired young man who was originally holding his head with a painful face instantly turned into a creature that he had never seen before!
"What is this?!"
"Wow!"
A dazzling beam of sunlight broke through the layers of isolation between the jungle and the roof, and hit Zhu Ke directly!
"Poof!"
The powerful spiritual power that Zhu Ke was condensing was directly dissipated by the beam, and it seemed that he had received a heavy blow in his brain, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
He wanted to speak, but he couldn't make any sound when he opened his mouth!
