Falling into the Abyss

Chapter 132.1: The End Of The World (V)

The command center was in chaos. Councilmember Sean had already retreated with his men, leaving only another younger Beta member. The second universes infection was approaching from all directions at an incredible speed. The people of the Fourth Space Station were running away, but more people were trapped in the body of the spaceship. Everyone in the Third Space Station was panicking, and people retreated to the Second and First Space Stations.

Roland did not leave, and, unexpectedly, the high priest of the Eves did not either. It was difficult for them to be aware of the current predicament on Earth because there was a lot of space turbulence and electromagnetic interference. They were so strong that they were unable to know what was happening under the black fleshy cloud that had almost enveloped the entire planet.

The high priest told them not to fire their weapons against the God of Disorder and to believe in the God of Order. The young congress member of the Earth Union chose to believe in the judgment of the high priest, which he thought would be their best bet.

But now, he was not sure anymore.

They had sent several unmanned spaceships to Earth previously, but most of them disintegrated near the black flesh, and only one penetrated through a crack. At that time, they finally obtained some blurry images.

What they saw was hell.

There were collapsing mountains and cities everywhere. Magma rolled up from deep underground and gathered into a scarlet ocean, devouring all the remaining creatures. Amid the billowing smoke, countless huge and difficult to describe figures stood between the sky and earth, and the nightmare-like tentacles extended to the ends of the sky and earth. Those things were the source of all human fears and nightmares, the beginning and end of all matter. Where they passed, there was no land left undestroyed.

Sometimes, they could see the giant creatures tangled with other giant creatures that were emitting a light blue or milky white light. It was difficult to tell whether these creatures were in a gaseous or gel state. There was a huge explosion every time they came into contact with each other, which would produce enough radiation to kill every inch of grass in the area, and the shockwave would ripple forth akin to water.

No humans could survive on Earth at this time. The center of civilization in the galaxy had been destroyed.

Finally, the detector found Ethan.

As of this moment, it was hard to decipher where Ethan was. His whole body was wrapped in a black tentacle, woven into a whirlpool. Above his head was a difficult to describe figure made of flesh and mucus, in a color that human eyes could not perceive. It kept spinning, and as it and the tentacles adhered to each other, they formed a huge and sinister pillar in the sky. Using Ethan as the pivot, the spacetime distorted uncontrollably, attracting the infection of the second universe from all directions and allowing it to gather there.

Near it, a gelatinous creature that seemed to be covered in eyes was enclosed in layers of tentacles. It didnt seem to be injured and was trying to break free, destroying a few tentacles, but behind it, there was a giant with a blood-red tentacle in the shape of a human being. The giant clung to the gelatinous creature, and a cold blue flame broke out between the two bodies.

He was shocked and looked at the image with widened eyes. No humans could maintain their inner peace after seeing creatures that were beyond the comprehension of the current interstellar civilization. Even if he could survive this, he was not sure that he would be able to look at the universe as calmly as before.

If human beings knew that they were just living in a corner of the countless universes and they were just like bed bugs living in a crevice before these super intelligent beings, could they still live on as peacefully as when they were unaware of everything?

Just when the gelatinous creature was again in an unfavorable situation as it faced off against the red tentacled giant, Ethan suddenly turned in a different direction.

The black tentacles seemed to be out of control as they twisted together. At the same time, the chaotic spacetime turbulence on Earth had also reached a strange peak.

The giant seemed to sense something and suddenly turned in Ethans direction. However, the chaos lasted only a short period of time before it returned to its original state. At this point, the gelatinous creature attacked the giant again, and there was another terrifying flash and explosion.

The Fourth Space Station has been swallowed up! Everyone, please evacuate as soon as possible! one of the military officers reported in a hurry.

The soldiers who stayed in the command center stood still. They said that if they really had to die, they would like to die here. At least they could understand the truth of the universe. The high priest also chose to stay because he believed that his God would save them.

Roland stayed, since, after all, there was no escape, was there?

He still wanted to know how it all would end.

All of a sudden, the spacetime turbulence suddenly peaked, similar to what had occurred previously. At the same time, the tentacle vortex that entangled Ethan also showed a different, chaotic series of movements. This time, the turbulence lasted nearly a minute before it returned to its original state.

The giant with red tentacles seemed very angry and rushed towards Ethan. He inserted his hand into the whirlpool of dancing tentacles, as if looking for something. However, the milky white front-ends of the gelatinous creature full of eyes entangled the giant like a spider web before dragging it away.

After about five minutes, a similar turbulence occurred, and it reappeared less than ten minutes after it returned to normal. The turbulence occurred longer and longer, and finally, it began to affect the whole planet. They noticed that the black fleshy cloud that enveloped Earth seemed to have been pricked, and it shrank violently at a certain point in the southern hemisphere. Then, it shrank in half again, revealing a large area of land in the northern hemisphere.

It seems that Ethan Eldridge is trying to recapture his body the priest whispered, The God of Order has bestowed him strength.

Roland looked at the black pillar that cut through the sky and earth and suddenly recalled the first time he saw Ethan. He thought about how he gave Ethan a charming smile that he was most proud of when he met Ethan with ulterior motives and how the gentle man with glasses would always look away in a hurry when given that smile. There was a kind of thrilling fear and embarrassment in these memories.

At that time, how could he have known that Ethan would become both the biggest threat and last hope of the galaxy?

The turbulence appeared more and more frequently. Finally, the cracks in the spacetime appearing all over Earth began to close. They saw many huge creatures being pushed into those cracks by some invisible force, as if they were being pushed by the space itself.

The spread of the infection of the second universes laws also seemed to slow down as the forces of Disorder in the solar system were rapidly decreasing. The forces of Order were rising as the God of Disorder gradually regained control of its own territory.

Obviously, there was something wrong with the descension of Azathoth. The black pillar disappeared, and the countless dense tentacles seemed to become their own enemy as they tangled together in chaos. The sound of drums and flutes filled the sky and the earth and spread to the command center through the detector. Some weak-willed staff suddenly fell into a frenzy, yelling wildly as they rushed to the nearest wall, hitting their heads hard until they were broken and bleeding, no one able to press them down. Others suddenly took off their clothes and ran out with a loud roar. There were also those who shot themselves or entered deep space capsules without wearing space suits, jumping into the dark universe.

The crazy voice also filled Rolands mind with crazy thoughts. He suddenly felt that he was a worthless existence, and his whole life was meaningless. He was like a speck of dust, and it didnt matter whether he lived or died. The tasks he had thought he had done for his country were worthless in the end, because his motherland would soon disappear and merge into eternal chaos. The impulse to end his life and return to nothingness occupied his consciousness, but before he could take out his gun, he quickly pulled cotton from the seat cushion under his body to block his ears. Some military officers nearby also reacted quickly and found all kinds of things that could be put into their ears to prevent the sound from entering.

The effect of the voice was much more severe on the high priest. His eyes grew empty, and his mouth murmured something in the Eve language that no one understood. Fortunately, before he could do anything, Roland turned off the screen, but strangely, the sound did not stop. It seemed to have entered their ears and lingered in their minds.

However, the power it held to bewitch others had weakened a lot, and the mental strength of the high priest soon gained the upper hand again, and his eyes gradually cleared.

In just a few minutes, there were much fewer people in the command center. The floor was covered with clothes, chairs, and furniture that people knocked down.

The whole command center was silent, and everyone looked at each other, speechless.

However, after about ten minutes, the sound of drumming, originally as enduring as if an earworm had infiltrated their minds, seemed to be fading away. The council member opened the screen again with some awe and care, and everyone held their breath as he pressed the button.

To their surprise, the drumming sound no longer rang out. The tentacles around Ethan gradually scattered, and the figure in the center could be seen.

The last thing they saw was the giant hissing as it was engulfed by a black hole that appeared out of thin air.

The gelatinous creature suddenly unfurled.

They couldnt see how it opened, but a kind of hot and dazzling blue light engulfed everything. The terrifying power of Order rushed towards Ethan, holding a power that could shake the sky and earth.

Even though they were far away from Earth, the creature enshrouded in blue was still like a sword rising from the surface of the earth, piercing into the depths of the universe. The terrifying shockwaves surged towards the Earths surface, radiating throughout the spacetimes in all directions.

It turned out that this was the God of Orders plan.

It would use Tanisiel to let Ethan revitalize his hope of living again, before allowing Ethan to give Azathoth a fatal blow when his spirit was entangled with Azathoth.

That shockwave even reached their observation point. The whole space station shook, and the people lying on the ground did not dare to move.

Ten minutes after the explosion, people slowly stood up from the ground.

In front of them, Earth, which was full of holes, was rotating silently. There was no black fleshy cloud, and there was no spacetime turbulence. The sun in the distance was still burning the fuel that had lasted for hundreds of billions of years, casting its golden light on one side of the planet.

There was a time when no one dared to speak or even breathe. It seemed that as soon as they made a sound, the solar system would explode, and no one could escape.
