Falling into the Abyss

Samuel turned around and shouted at all nonhumans: "Fight with them!" Under his call, nonhumans began to struggle and resist, after all, no one wanted to die like that.They punched and rushed at the horned people around them, trying to break out of the encirclement.Ethan also rushed left and right with the others, but deep in his heart he also knew that escape was impossible. After all, they were surrounded by [-] horned men, and there were so many people with guns around them. There are many people here, but they are tied together like grasshoppers, and their actions are restricted.

Their resistance was quickly defeated by the push of the horned men rushing up like a tide. The chains binding their hands and feet made them fall like domitos, falling one by one.Those horned soldiers seemed to be angry, roaring something and grabbed Wilson, little A and another female Alpha.The three of them cursed and struggled, but were still forcibly dragged up to the altar.

Although Wilson scolded loudly, when his hands and feet were tied to the wooden frame, Ethan still saw the tall man trembling, and his eyes were full of panic.His trousers were visibly soaked with urine as the horned priestess came dancing towards him with a knife in hand.

The same is true for Little A and the other soldiers. If it weren't for the chains that locked him up, he would have been paralyzed into a ball.Soldiers like Sergeant Wilson are soldiers who have been stationed on the Faun planet for a long time. They are the strongest fighters among human beings, but at this moment, no one can blame them for becoming weak in the face of the cruelest death.People shouldn't die like this, it's too crazy, so crazy that people have the kind of numbness like in a dream after the extreme horror.

Ethan is in this kind of numbness, he doesn't even feel afraid anymore.He watched the two priests lift the skulls of the three people one by one, saw Sergeant Wilson's brain exposed to the air, saw his eyeballs rolled back, and his mouth opened unnaturally, as if Unable to control my face anymore, I also saw those giant worms poking out their pillar-like bodies from the deep underground again under the call of the bell and the lure of the sweet smell of the brain, and devoured three living creatures with their ugly mouths. Sucking away their flesh and blood, crushing their bones and internal organs.Ethan couldn't imagine what it would be like when the body was wrapped by that mouth, when the skin was peeled off the body, when the brain was crushed.

The two priests were still singing, Ethan couldn't understand their language, but they kept repeating the same word: Yog-Sothoth, Yog-Sothoth, Yog-Sothoth.

He, Samuel, and Derek were the next to be pulled up to the altar.At this moment, even Derek, who always had an expression of not caring about anything, shook his head in horror and struggled with his last strength, but was still held on his shoulders by the horned man, and stepped step by step towards the torture rack on the top of the altar.

Ethan doesn't struggle, he's just being pushed upwards, surprisingly resigned.He thought of Tanithel, and kept calling Tanithel in his heart, begging the priest to save him.He was bound to come, like every time in the past.

Because he needs him, he will save himself.

But when he was fixed on the torture rack, when the cold red flesh on the rack drenched his clothes, and when the chains still hung with human skin tissue locked his wrists, he suddenly remembered the tower in his dream. What Nessel told him.

"This time... I don't know if I'll make it in time."

He couldn't save him in time.

Ethan, who realized this, realized that he had not been completely desperate. Deep down in his consciousness, he still believed that Tanithel would suddenly appear and save him again like a god.Unknowingly, Tanithel has become his subconscious salvation, and he has completely surrendered at the priest's feet unknowingly.

But now, this ultimate hope is also shattered.

He was really dying and no one could save him.That weird short knife is about to slice open his scalp, cut open his skull, his brain will be exposed to the cold air, and before he dies, he will feel the pain of being torn to pieces by countless sharp teeth, and then he will Return to nothingness and cease to exist forever.His short, boring and sad life came to an end, without even stirring up a tiny wave in the long river of time.

Next to him, Samuel kept talking to him, repeating a sentence, "It's okay! It's okay! It will pass soon!" Listening to the trembling in the voice, I'm afraid Samuel himself didn't know what he wanted. If you want to comfort Ethan, you should comfort yourself.But no matter who the target is, it doesn't work.

The purple dagger was so similar to the one Ethan used to kill people, and the horned priestess had an exaggerated smile on her face that was slightly longer than a human being, and it was a smile that belonged to the god of death.

At the same time, Ethan remembered, remembered everything, and Tanithel whispered in his ear like a curse in his dream.

"If you can't beat your fear, embrace it."

Die tragically now, or embrace it...

Then, live as a monster.

Somewhere in his brain seemed to be enlightened suddenly, a numb itching quickly turned into a cracking pain, spreading from the black bulge on the back of his neck, and many thin black lines snaked and grew rapidly, like the veins of a tattoo. Spreading to his back, several other black lines twisted and spread to the sides of his cheeks, two thicker black lines stretched to the corners of his eyes, his pupils elongated in an instant, and the green color of his irises also became more pure.

Ethan didn't know what had changed in him, he just felt very comfortable, his vision became extremely clear, full of strange colors that he had never seen before.The terror, despair and madness that filled his whole body just now have not dissipated, they are still filling every cell in his body, but they are no longer feelings that one does not want to experience, on the contrary they become like joy, like happiness Feeling, like boundless ecstasy and peace, made him extremely comfortable.His consciousness seemed to be freed from his body suddenly, and he continued to climb upwards, passing through those dim clouds and mist, and came to a beautiful fairyland.

It was the fairyland Tanisel had woven for him, with green pools, wine-red duckweed, blue and purple bushes, and the huge ancient tree covered with blood-red leaves.He was lying on the surface of the water, surrounded by emptiness, with nothing to worry about.

But another part of him, another part of him that may be more real, still stays in the restrained body, and a slightly weird smile is suddenly outlined on the trembling lips.

This part of him has been sleeping in his subconscious, from the moment he was born, it occasionally turned into a dark shadow and spread over his surface consciousness, and was soon pressed back to a deep sleep by layers of consciousness, until that The foreign DNA sequence changed the body born in the power of the gods until this moment.

The priestess had just raised her dagger when something pierced her throat.

The priestess' eyes widened suddenly, as if she couldn't believe what happened to her.Her body was rolled up into the air, flung a few times like a puppet, and then lightly thrown under the altar.When she landed, her limbs twisted to impossible angles, her head turned 180 degrees, her purple eyes turned gray, and she still maintained an expression of astonishment.

There was a wave of dead silence spreading rapidly in the originally noisy empty field. The horned people's slender eyes fixed on everything that happened on the altar, and the non-people also showed the same blank expression.

Trapped on the torture rack, Ethan lifted his black, bloodshot face, and suddenly opened countless black tentacles on the back of his neck, like a black firework that exploded in an instant.They stretch endlessly, covering the sky and the sun. Some have green eyes at the end, some have big bloody mouths that are constantly moving and opening and closing like the worms in the depths of the cave, and some have sticky eyes. Spikes of Venom.They fell from the sky crazily, and countless horned people were swallowed, cut in two, or their skin was melted by the suckers on the tentacles, making piercing screams.

The scene was reversed in an instant and the scene suddenly lost control, non-people were suddenly forgotten, and were pushed into the crowd of people colliding with each other.Unexpectedly, a considerable number of horned people not only did not run away, but knelt down with their hands raised high, their faces showing ecstasy like seeing God, and even burst into tears.They wah wah wah, speaking their own language, kowtowed to the high platform, bowing down to the pale figure among the black flowers of death.

On the altar in the center of the storm, there was a calm.Samuel, who was tied next to Ethan, was dumbfounded, as if he couldn't analyze and understand the information his eyes received.Those terrifying black tentacles didn't hurt him, and even bypassed him and the equally dumbfounded Derek.But he watched with his own eyes how they entangled the horned priest's body at the same time, the sound of the bones being strangled and the male priest's wailing made his scalp numb.When the tentacles casually let go of the male priest, the things that fell on the ground could no longer be seen in human form, only a puddle of meat sauce and a few scattered horns remained.

"Ethan..." Samuel's murmured whispers were drowned in the hell-like screams of the Hornmen, but Ethan turned his head slowly and looked at him.

The same green eyes, but the darkness, evil and madness in them made Samuel shudder.

"Ethan! Ethan!" Samuel called him loudly, but Ethan didn't seem to understand. He just faced him with that weird and empty smile, and then slowly turned his head back.

The devout gestures of the horned people did not win pardon, and a tentacle sprayed acid, instantly melting their flesh and blood into a puddle of flesh and water.

Not only the horned people, even many of their own people were not spared.Those non-humans he didn't know or were familiar with were also rolled up by the tentacles and thrown into the air, and fell to the ground and smashed their brains.

This is a disguised picture of hell blooming in the darkness. In the eternal night sky, the symphony of death woven by howling and screaming echoes.Even the giant worm in the deep hole rushed out of the ground as if summoned, opened its huge black hole-like mouth, and pressed down on the horned people who had changed from hunters to prey on the ground.

"Don't stay alive." This was another sentence Tanisel whispered in his ear.

The author has something to say:

The long-awaited mutation...
