Chapter 94: Eternal Sorrow

Something that does not grow naturally and is artificially created is the only way for the Eternals to be in this situation.

This is the biggest difference between natural life and man-made machinery.

It is impossible for natural life to be without the mechanism of evolution or mutation, which will only cause them to disappear quickly in the changing natural environment.

And the situation of the Eternals, in Oakes's opinion, is completely inconsistent with the mechanism of biological evolution, and he can't even see the traces of "natural growth" from childhood to adulthood in Zhuke.

So, don't say 7,000 years, even 70,000 years have passed, and they will still be the same as they are now.

Although you can never grow old or die, you can never progress.

"Wait!"

Zhuke still felt dizzy, but he struggled to think about another question:

"You say that our 'eternal' phenomena are completely unchanging and cannot evolve...... So the 'mutants' ......"

"If they really have the same level of power as you, then I'm afraid so."

Oakes heard the name "Mutant" from Zhuke again, and if this way of naming comes from his hometown "Olympia Star", then it has to be said that the Mutant is indeed the other side of the Eternals.

"Yes...... That's right, the mutant race has indeed undergone a lot of changes in its 7,000-year history. ”

Zhu Ke tried to calm down, carefully recalling the course of the seven thousand years of conquest, and finally discovered something that they had not noticed all along:

"It's just that they have changed very little, and their appearance and ability are already different, we ...... Didn't notice that it was due to evolution! ”

He was silent for a long time, and grabbed his hair fiercely:

"So what are we?!

Why hasn't Alitham given us a directive now, five hundred years after the mutants have disappeared?

Olympia Star ...... Earth is our first mission, is it possible that we can get the truth when we go back? ”

He didn't want to believe Oakes' words, but the details that he hadn't noticed before were now recalled, and he had to believe them!

"First mission?"

Oakes was slightly stunned:

"It can't be! Your body has been around for more than a million years, or even longer, as far as I can calculate! ”

"What did you say?!"

Zhu Ke raised his head suddenly, and his face was even more shocked than before-

In his memory, Earth was indeed his first mission to Aritham, as were the other people who came with him!

The body has existed for more than a million years?!

Then what's the matter with him, including the "Olympia Star", who only has a memory of more than 7,000 years?!

"All I can analyze at the moment is the 'message' that your body carries."

Oakes looked at Zhuke's cold sweat and slightly distorted face, sighed lightly, got up and walked in front of him, a circle of emerald green light wrapped around his body, calming him down a little:

"Sorry for the confusion...... However, as an earthling, I must be most vigilant against aliens like you, who suddenly appear and have a 'god'-like perspective. ”

Zhu Ke looked at the green light on his body in surprise:

"I ...... Feeling the power of healing, you ...... This alone is out of the realm of 'human'. ”

"Why do you say that?"

In this world, there are more people with all kinds of strange abilities, and the healing ability is only one of them - although there are few, it should not be none.

At the very least, the mages of Kama Taj can use magic to achieve similar results.

“…… It's nothing, it's just a simple emotion. ”

Zhu Ke was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly:

"This ability is really reassuring when fighting, but it's a little weaker."

Just like Eternals Supreme Ajak......

Oakes instinctively sensed that Hook had something left unsaid.

Could it be that healing powers, even among the Eternals, are extremely rare?

Moreover, Oakes has noticed that although his healing ability can have an effect on the Eternals, the effect is very weak.

When I first came to the vicinity of this village, I felt a sense of disobedience.

After completely controlling this rainforest, Oakes probably figured out the reason-

The Eternals, presumably true, are not beings born of natural evolution, and the forces of nature have had little effect on them.

Unlike Gollum, Gollum is at least a naturally occurring creature in the universe, so even though it does not belong to the Earth's biosphere, Oakes' healing spell still works normally.

Then the special existence of the Eternals has been on Earth for 7,000 years...... Does Supreme Mage Ancient One know?

Does Asgard, who considers Midgard a vassal state, know?

Do the Cree people who conduct biochemical experiments on Earth know?

"I want to make sure again......

Your 'don't interfere with human development' means that you can't interfere with anything except the appearance of mutants, don't you? ”

"Yes, that's Aritham's order."

Oakes frowned:

"Including the damage done to earthlings by other aliens?"

"They are only a small-scale activity, and they do not threaten the overall inheritance of human civilization, let alone the participation of mutants, so we must not take action."

Zhuke's answer confirmed Oakes' judgment -

The existence of the Kree, Asgardians, and Kama Taj should be known to the Eternals.

But according to the order, they can only hold on to the mutants to the end, because that thing has no reason, only knows that it feeds on humans, and if left unchecked, it will destroy the entire human civilization.

And it seems that because the mutants also have some ways to use cosmic energy, in addition to the Eternals, the other human heroes in the history of the earth seem to have little to do with them.

Based on this order, they didn't interfere at all when Thanos invaded......

This is not a group of robots that are absolutely loyal to the creator, what else could it be?

With a move of his lips, Oakes gave up his intention to continue to fight Zhuke.

There is obviously more than one Eternal, and their abilities are also different, and there may indeed be individuals as powerful as gods.

After knowing his physical condition, Zhuke should go to the others, so that Oakes can find the other Eternals through Zhuke and judge their next move......

"Looks like it's time for me to get out of this place."

Zhuke's words confirmed Oakes' suspicions, and he quietly walked a few steps towards the door, glancing at the crowd outside:

"If you don't leave, I'll be very distressed.

So what do you do next? ”

“…… I will re-examine the current human civilization, and escape is not the solution to the problem. ”

Zhuke turned around and looked at Oaks with a serious face:

"If your judgment is correct, then it is clear that I, the Eternals, have a great secret that we don't know about—

I don't want to be kept in the dark like this, I've been like this for 7,000 years, and that's enough. ”

He clenched his fists and said firmly:

"I'm going to find out why Aritham didn't recall us and return to Olympia to find out......

And this reason must be hidden in human civilization! ”
