Plop.

Kelly could feel herself falling.

Unlike the last time she stepped into the air and fell off a cliff, this time she lay down on the water very lightly.

And then keep sinking.

Despite being wrapped in liquid and sinking, she didn't feel any discomfort, on the contrary, she was very comfortable.

It's like going back to before I was born, when my mother was surrounded by amniotic fluid in my belly.

She vaguely felt that something had changed in her body, had she become a baby?

She didn't know, but at this moment, in this endless sinking process, she couldn't help but feel peace of mind and warmth.

She knew that her final destination was a place that was incredibly beautiful, kind, and full of love.

It's different from the world above.

She knew what awaited her.

It's calm and caring.

She is about to return to her mother's womb.

Stay away from this filthy world.

By the way, who is she?

She doesn't remember who she is, and she doesn't remember who her mother is.

She seemed to be doing something just now, but now she couldn't remember it at all.

'Since you can't think about it, don't think about it, wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the tranquility of this moment?'

That's right, live in the moment.

And what was before her?

She had a lot of creatures in her memory, but she couldn't determine which one she was.

Is she a cat?

Meow?

No, she seems to be a dog, and she seems to be a butterfly, wait, she seems to be able to remember, she should be......

Ah, it's so dark, it's so boring.

Kelly thought.

Do you have anything you don't want to forget?

The first thing that flashed in her mind was a little girl squatting in the corner and shivering, she was so helpless that Kelly wanted to reach out and comfort her without hesitation.

But when she made a move, the little girl vanished, and she found herself completely unable to remember what the girl looked like, how she sounded, or even what she was wearing.

Then she forgot that the little girl herself existed.

Kelly blinked.

Did something just happen?

'Nothing, my good boy, you need a good night's sleep, you haven't rested in a long time. ’

Sure, Kelly thought so, but she suddenly wanted to think about if there was anything she didn't want to forget.

She saw a lot of bookshelves.

And around these bookshelves, two girls are chatting, their smiles dissipating the gloom.

But in an instant, all the bookshelves collapsed and fell on the two girls, who looked at Kelly in pain, and the hopeful eyes made her unbearable to look at them.

They need my ......

'No, you owe no one, it's time to enjoy your own life, they're just a burden to you. ’

That's right, they're a burden to me.

Both girls and the bookshelf turned into smoke and dust drifting in the air.

And when all the smoke and dust dissipated, a man appeared in front of her.

The man's eyes are like fire, his voice is like ice, his body is eight-legged, and his back has wings.

"Go to Natas. ”

Then the man disappeared into the shadows.

'Son, go back to your mother's arms, and from now on, your troubles will be gone forever in your life.

'Mother needs you. ’

Mother?

Two figures loomed in front of her, and Kelly felt something wet across her face.

As the two young men and women continue to move forward, their figures are constantly changing.

A small cradle appeared between the two, and then the two were much taller.

The cradle car slowly transformed into a small shadow, and the two of them, who had grown taller, retracted again.

As the men and women advanced, the small shadows became bigger and bigger, but there was no fixed shape, but the waists of the two became more and more rickety, and white hair faintly appeared on their heads.

Forget about them. ’

Everything is gone.

Kelly's mind went blank.

The girl muttered:

"Mother. ”

'My child, it's time to come back with me......

Bang!

"Long live Natas!"

"The shadow of the tentacles will be devoured by Ender. ”

'Anders!, how could they, damn it. The gentle female voice cursed a few words and then disappeared.

Kelly opened her eyes.

She saw countless peaks, thousands of times larger than the mountains of the real world, floating in front of her.

And there are dozens of peaks like this.

She looked at the mountain in front of her, something so large that only the Leviathan she had seen from afar could match it.

The color of these mountains is a peculiar brownish-gray color.

But when Kelly calms down, she notices that something is wrong.

There seems to be a layer of eyes underneath these brownish-gray colors.

She stared at the mountain.

Suddenly, her sensory system exploded, and the frequencies that she could not hear and the wavelengths that she could not see were easily understood by the brain, and the higher senses except for the five senses bloomed together.

She saw something on the mountain.

The brownish-gray film covering the surface of the mountain range turned out to be countless strange humanoids in armor, although they resembled humans, but no matter what the skin, eyes, skeletal frame, and two extra tentacles, all revealed their identity.

Boundless.

There are at least hundreds of Ande people on a mountain.

Kelly knew what they were.

Of course she knew, she saw it with her own eyes at that time.

The Anders, the great race that once ruled almost half of the backstage dimensions, built floating cities, created strategic weapons to restrain the gods, explored the boundaries of art, talked about the meaning of life, saw the charm of mathematics, knew the smallest scale of matter, understood the nature of time and space.

They once had a vehicle that could fly at 1/3 the speed of light, their psychic network had permanently sunk all the alien races they had connected, the storm generators made by the psychic masters could make the gods flee, and the superior genetic regulation technology allowed them to live forever, a trait that could even be passed down by simple primitive reproduction.

Their race was once gods.

It wasn't until the shattering of the Brilliant Stars that they were tired of conquest, abandoned science, abandoned art, destroyed advanced and powerful devices, and even the floating cities became huge "stones".

They chose religion.

How ironic.

And their greatest belief is a spider.

Kelly looked up to the sky.

There is no sky, only a shadow.

She's under Natas.

"Have you figured it out? Are you going to stay forever?" said a familiar male voice.

Kelly didn't answer right away because she couldn't understand the man's words yet.

Family, friends?

What are those things?

"I see, you haven't made up your mind yet, so let's continue to stand on the dirt-covered ground for a little longer. ”

Kelly vanished.

"Natas!"

"Natas!"

"Natas!"

The Anders chanted the names of the gods.

Today they follow Natas as they fight, and the shadows once again engulf the world.
