Speaking of which, Oakes's image in the eyes of the public has always been that of a gentle and harmless scientist.

Moreover, his research seems to be more botanical, as is the achievement.

But as a druid who could turn into a beast himself, Oakes was clearly not going to give up on zoological research.

With a spirit strengthened by the forces of nature, his intelligence is no less than that of Tony and Banner.

So, when a living Eternals are under his control, doesn't it make sense to do something?

Obviously unreasonable.

When Zhuke's eyes turned from flat to terrifying, Oakes knocked him unconscious again.

Although there are no experimental equipment in the rainforest, this is not a limitation when it comes to not having to reduce the results of research to scientific conclusions that can be argued by others.

So, when Zhuke came back to his senses after a long coma, all he saw was Oaks who was looking at him with a strange gaze......

There is also a cat and a dog.

It's still the same chapel, but the style inside has completely changed.

The branches of many plants make up shelves, cabinets, tables, chairs......

There were also strange structures that he couldn't understand at all.

And Zhuke himself was lying on a strange "bed", surrounded by what seemed to be many vines and branches.

The human was dressed in a strange ...... Robe? I'm looking at myself.

The robe was weird, it seemed to be made of plant fibers and metal, and it was full of energy!

"What did you do to me...... Hiss! ”

Zhu Ke took a breath of cool air and pressed his head-

His mental power was still in a state of confusion, because Oakes had found a way to deal with the Eternals' abilities, using astral energy to disrupt the energy in his body.

Standing up slowly, after a few seconds, Zhu Ke saw that something was wrong with this bed.

"This thing...... What is it? ”

"The test bench."

Oakes was satisfied to see that a pair of small eyes of Zhuke widened suddenly, and said a little jokingly:

"As a scientist, of course, you use a test bench when studying samples...... It's just that you don't have one here, so I'll make one.

The other plants have other functions - don't worry, you're the same now, I didn't inject you with any strange potions, I didn't slice you. ”

“…… You also mentioned the Asgardians earlier? Are they coming to Earth again? ”

Zhuke forced his attention away from the strange plants:

"And you didn't take advantage of this time to let those people go?"

"Of course, they are used to living here, and it is a dead end for them to go out and enter human society rashly...... But they're no longer under your control.

As for the Asgardians...... Well, you know they're not surprising, but that's not what we're going to talk about today. ”

Oakes shook his head, the men were a little confused at first.

After studying Zhuke's use of cosmic energy, although Oakes could not manipulate energy to gain the ability to control minds like he did, these humans who had become accustomed to Zhuke's control felt very close to him.

So Oakes was able to teach them some ways to survive after Zhuke left.

Fortunately, they are not completely isolated, and after a period of adaptation, they have been able to live in this rainforest on their own.

And...... Now that Oakes has mastered the rainforest, it is still possible to provide some simple shelter for a small human village.

"As for what I did to you......"

Oakes's eyes became complicated, and Zhuke suddenly had a sense of absurdity-

Because he saw "mercy" in the eyes of Oakes!

This human is actually "pitying" the Eternals?!

Why is he!

"Although I have a deep affection for human beings, I have shed tears for human beings, rebuked my compatriots, and even parted ways with them in the end......"

Zhu Ke frowned, his originally ruffian expression became solemn, and his not tall body also puffed up his chest:

"Although I don't think I'm a 'god' or even lost to you, I don't think I'm going to be reduced to the point of being pitied by you!"

“…… Sorry, I'm just a little ......."

Oaks looked at Zhuke, who was full of heavy momentum, and his eyes were also a little trance-

That's the weight of 7,000 years of authentic history.

Although Zhu Ke usually looks like a big boy next door, he is still in a rebellious period......

But once he got serious, Oakes realized the heaviness of the "eternity" of the "Eternals".

"Eternals......"

Oakes shook his head slightly, the pressure released by Zhuke, who had not yet recovered, was nothing to him.

"I ...... You may have discovered some of the reasons why you are called 'eternal'. ”

"What?"

Zhu Ke was slightly startled, and his huge momentum instantly stagnated:

"What do you mean?"

He cracked his own abilities? But how is this possible!

"I don't know what kind of place your so-called hometown, Olympia, is, but ......"

Oxton paused, considering his words:

"You should know that you Eternals, at least you, look no different from humans.

You can eat human food, you can bleed when you are injured, and even the blood is red, and although your body's defense is much stronger than that of ordinary humans, it doesn't seem to be the kind that human weapons can't hurt. ”

Zhu Ke nodded slightly, it is true.

Although the Eternals are very clever in controlling cosmic energy, without the blessing of cosmic energy, their bodies are not immortal.

It's just that being able to hurt them and being able to kill them are two different things, and what seems fatal to humans is not a big deal even in the eyes of Eternals like Zhuke, who are not good at frontal combat.

"But I found that the cells in your body are very different from 'creatures' in the ordinary sense."

Oakes' words made Zhuke frown:

"What's the difference?"

"In the growth and reproduction of ordinary organisms, although the morphological stability is maintained by the power of genes, in fact, 'evolution' and 'mutation' have always existed in the history of biology."

Oakes pointed to the surrounding plants, then to the people outside, and even to Moco and Coco, who were staring at Zhuke warily:

"Evolution and mutation are important components of biological adaptation to the environment and survival and development, but in you, I don't see this 'possibility'."

In Zhu Ke's first confused, then confused, and finally surprised eyes, Oakes emphasized again:

"Yes, your body is 'eternal', and even if you live a long life, you can't change anything—

Whether it's the various diseases brought about by the mutation of environmental stimuli, or the enhancement of capabilities......

Your physical condition and abilities are completely the same between 7,000 years ago and now, aren't they? ”

“…… Be. ”

Zhu Ke was silent for a moment, and then spoke with some difficulty:

"You mean my body, my abilities, it's like ......"

"They are all 'eternal' and do not change in any way over time – which is not in keeping with the essential characteristics of natural life."

Oaks' cold voice made Zhuke's heart skip a beat:

"It's like an AI robot that has been programmed in advance."
