Falling into the Abyss

Ethan has always had a hard time using one word to describe the relationship between himself and his father.

He seldom calls his father, Adrian Eldridge, as affectionately as "Daddy".It's not that Adrian abused him or did anything that made him feel resentful, but that he always felt that it was very awkward to use such a title, just like the relationship between gentlemen but forced to call him brother.

In fact, most of Ethan's growing up was taken care of by his father.My mother is either on a business trip, or even at home, she is always immersed in her own music world, often absent-minded.As an Alpha, Adrian didn't complain that his Omega didn't value his family. On the contrary, no matter how busy he was at work, he would still ensure that Ethan would not be ignored.If he is really busy, he will ask the company's assistant to deliver meals to him or send him to school.

When Ethan was a child, his classmates envied Ethan for having such a handsome and tall father, who stood out among parents of the same age, like a strange peak rising out of the blue sky.His broad shoulders and strong waist often caught the eyes of those Omega and Beta teachers with love, so he became very attentive to little Ethan.

My father was cold, distant, and unsmiling most of the time.When Ethan was naughty when he was young, he would not get angry, let alone punish and beat him, but would lock him in the closet and think about it.Generally, the closing time will not exceed an hour, except for one time, when he was secretly playing the game in his father's portable capsule, he panicked when he heard his father coming home suddenly, and dropped the capsule full of important documents. Into the water glass.

That time he was locked in the closet for a day and a night, and the continuous cramping and darkness made him panic.The disappointed look in his father's eyes before he closed the cupboard door made him tremble, wondering if his father would stop liking him like this, and would never open the door in front of him again.The minds of little children are filled with all sorts of terrible fantasies.When the door finally opened, he swore to himself in his heart that he would never make his father angry and disappointed again, never go into that cabinet again.

And he did.He became a very sensible child.Finish school homework on time every day, read books and listen to music quietly in the room when I have nothing to do, never invite friends to stay at home for the night, and rarely participate in social activities of classmates, even if I do, it is never past twelve o'clock at night.After eating, I will remember to help my mother or father wash the dishes and clean up the table, and take the initiative to wash the dirty clothes I changed every week. The room will never be as messy as a male Beta or male Alpha of the same age.

Neighbors and teachers praised his quietness and precocity, and his father praised him several times for it.He still remembered that when he showed his father the first grade in the class, that handsome face with no expression showed a somewhat proud and gratified smile, and the big hand that had never hugged him much rubbed it. Rubbing his hair, the palm was rough and warm, exuding a nostalgic temperature.

Ethan loved that smile and wanted more of it.So he started studying harder, trying to get into the "good" school his father had casually mentioned, trying to get A's in every class.He collects his father's smile like a treasure, even his first love once laughed at him for having a strong Electra complex, and would do anything to please his father.

But he felt that this was just an obsession caused by his unwillingness to get the kind of fatherly love he had dreamed of.

"Do you think your father loves you?"

A simple question, but all that evoked from the throat was a sour taste.

Ethan lowered his head, not sure whether to answer the question or mutter to himself, "I guess...sometimes love, sometimes hate."

Yes, sometimes he really felt that his father hated him.In fact, there is no obvious evidence for this kind of speculation, it is just a glance that turns away by chance, a little impatient frown, and after he was sentenced, that look seemed to be somewhat relieved.

The officiant's footsteps stopped in front of him, and his critical and deep eyes enveloped Ethan.

"You know, the last time Tanithel got your pre-mutation blood sample and DNA on Neptune, I also received those data. This time I came to Earth, I filed an application and transferred your parents' DNA data, using Your data was compared with Adrian Eldridge's DNA. The result is very interesting." Sionier suddenly bent down slightly, facing him with a mysterious smile, and the third eye on his forehead opened Halfway through, exuding a misty silver light, "You are not the son of Adrian Eldridge."

Ethan stared at him blankly.The officiant's words settled in his mind, like meaningless symbols unfolding little by little.

Then, his body began to shake.

"You are talking nonsense!!!"

The priest tilted his head slightly, and stared at Ethan, who was staring at him viciously, as if looking at a magical creature, "Don't get too excited. This doesn't mean your mother betrayed your father. Maybe it was just a one-night stand, or maybe it was a misfortune Forced, even the most common beliefs of your species before, to believe that a man named Jesus was the Son of God, and that his mother was still a virgin when he was conceived."

The officiant's words cut Ethan's heart like a sharp knife. He shook his head vigorously, and blackness began to spread on the back of his neck, "Shut up!!! Shut up!!!"

It must be a lie, it must be this cunning Eve's nonsense!

How could he not be his father's son?He only knew that one father since he was a child, and he grew up with him day by day!

Ethan's roar was as scary as a wild beast in the open environment, and the invisible air current flowed quickly, blowing the officiant's long hair.

Thin black lines quickly spread from the back of the neck to the cheeks like blood vessels, and the pupil in the center of the green iris also began to elongate.Seeing the remarkable changes in him, the officiant's expression gradually changed from playfulness to admiration with some surprise.From a pocket hanging on his waist, he took out a fragmented egg of the God of Preface, which was exuding an unprecedented hot and dazzling blue light at the moment, and many curved thin ice-blue lines were clearly flickering. on the eggshell surface.

Ethan's whole body was tense at this moment, the bridge of his nose was wrinkled, and he had a ferocious expression as if a beast was about to attack an intruder.However, if you look closely, you will find that there is a lack of energy in his eyes, just like the blurred eyes of people when they are sleepwalking.

Lionel felt an extremely powerful and evil aura in Ethan's chaotic and dark mind that seemed to break through some invisible barrier and roar towards his consciousness. The destructive power made him understand that this was definitely not the spiritual power that originally belonged to human beings.He hastily opened the third eye completely, and at the same time quickly clicked on the egg of the God of Preface with his fingers a few times, allowing the blue radiance to permeate his whole body like water waves.Even so, he could still feel the brazen force hitting his mental barrier, causing waves of sharp pain in his temple.

The egg of the preface in his hand suddenly became brighter, and he felt a wave of turbulence in the power of the preface covering his whole body.

Sure enough, the closer it is to something with stronger entropy, the more unstable the egg of the preface will be.

He has always suspected that the reason why the Preface Gods left the eggs of the Preface Gods on the youngest planets is for a purpose.Not only for their later creations to discover, after all, the God of Preface, like the God of Entropy, never cared about their meaningless lives.

His hypothesis is that these prologue eggs are like a bomb with a set critical value. Once it is detected that the entropy force has broken through a certain critical point, it will activate some kind of purification function.What will be ushered in at that time is likely to be some kind of destructive power of extreme sequence, in order to push back or even eliminate the entropy god who tries to plunder this sequence deified universe.

If his conjecture is correct, then at the moment when the Entropy God invades, Eve Star, which has gathered many eggs of the Prologue God, will be the first victim to bear the brunt.Just like hundreds of nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs were detonated at the same time, the entire planet and the entire Eve civilization will be completely polarized in an instant, turning into stable molecules floating in the universe forever.

His hypothesis was scoffed at by many Priests of the Preface God Sect, thinking that he was scaremongering.Those priests who are considered to be the mainstream believe that since the gods allow the emergence of advanced civilizations, these eggs are left to these civilizations to further manage the universe.Even the priests of the Entropy God sect believe that it is impossible for the Entropy God to break through the barrier of the string frequency and enter the universe of the Sequence God casually.And there are so many parallel universes, so they will not just enter their so-called first universe.

Of course, this statement was shaken after the Red Earth incident and the success of the Neptune Second Universe experiment, so Eve was willing to hand over an egg of the Prologue God, and work with the Earth Alliance to research and develop its functions.Obviously, most of the temples are reluctant to throw the super-intelligent "sacred object" that they have enshrined for so long to the outer galaxy.

If Tanithel's theory is correct, and if what the young man who is crazier than him is true, then the closer Ethan is to the mutated state, the more excited the egg of the Prologue will be.

He shook his heart, grabbed Ethan's right hand that was locked on the armrest, forcibly broke apart the fingers that were tightly clenched like eagle claws, and stuffed the egg of the preface, which was constantly trembling at a low frequency, into him. Right palm.

All of a sudden, a huge mental power erupted with Ethan's non-human hissing sound. Xi'onier felt as if someone had punched his head hard, dizzy, and two thick roses Colored nosebleeds gushed out immediately, and a fishy smell appeared in his throat.

Ethan slammed the Preface God's Egg away as if his hand was scalded, but the blue light had already spread over him.He screamed, as if someone was skinning him alive.At the same time, the black blood vessels spreading across his face, shoulders and neck quickly diminished, and the slender pupils also returned to their original shape.Then, he rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.

Lionel breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the entropy in Ethan's body is not so much that the egg of the other order god is out of control.To be precise, the entropy in his body is far from enough to cause the God's Egg to erupt, but it is enough to prevent his body from being polarized during simple contact with the egg.Even, he may be able to control the egg of the God of Preface more freely than ordinary Eve blue-robed priests.

Following Ethan's coma, the entire white room fell into silence again.The priest has asked the Earth Alliance not to spy on the process of him using the prologue egg on the experimental body. Judging from what he perceives, those staff members have no signs of lying to him.

But there is no guarantee that the other party has no other means to monitor him.He still needs to think about how to write the report for a while.After all, they need this descendant of the Celestial Star, and they can't let the Earth Alliance just treat it like a monster and execute it casually.

Lionel stood up straight. His face was pale, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and the white of one eye was also seeping blood. In addition, the fresh blood in his nose stained the sacrificial robe on his body, making him look very embarrassed.He hasn't lost his temper like this in many years.

After all, it was also the first time he had seen such a successful individual mutated after being infected by the entropy god.
