Falling into the Abyss

Chapter 104.2: The Eves’ Planet (X)

Giveaway chapter, selected by Alya for the CG10K contest-Bonus Chapter (1/2)

Everyone stood up to greet him, and Ethan looked up curiously. First, a few guard soldiers came in, and the tall man who came in afterward did not look much older than himself. He was wearing a long black coat that dragged all the way to the ground and had the same golden hair and silver eyes as Tanisiel, which were probably family characteristics. Even their eyebrows and eyes seemed somewhat similar, but Tanisiels were more delicate, while the Eve Kings were more masculine and handsome.

While everyone bowed, the king went straight to the front. At this time, the head priest had already appeared to meet him. The Eve King exchanged greetings with him before turning to Tanisiel after him, even hugging him and talking with him like an elder.

Ethan heard several of the other apprentices whispering.

The king is really concerned about Priest Tanisiel.

Of course, the king has had no children until now. It is said that he may be infertile. If this goes on, then Tanisiel will be his successor.

But he is already a white-robed priest. How can he be his successor?

Wouldnt that be easy? At that time, they can find any excuse to let him leave the temple.

Ethan was shocked. It turned out that there was another backstory

No wonder Tanisiel was so lawless previously and even dared to steal the God of Orders eggs

Ethan couldnt help growing more suspicious. With such a noble status, why did Tanisiel go to Earth? Why did he take risks for him again and again? Was his ultimate goal really what he claimed it to be?

The time had arrived, and it was time for the ceremony to start. The door was closed with a bang.

Ethan suddenly began to wonder, was this really a routine ceremony to commemorate the dead?

Theonile stood on the platform in silence before placing an old and heavy book on the platform and opening it gently.

In the Eves language, he said, Eternity is coming to an end, and the sleeping king is about to awaken.

Ethans body suddenly shuddered, and his breath seemed to be caught by an invisible hand.

Did he hear it wrongly?

Was the person on the stage really reading out this sentence?

He turned his head and looked around, but the people around him were just looking forward with focused and somewhat fanatical gazes. It didnt seem that they had noticed anything wrong.

When Order breaks down, worms will whine in the empty earth, shadows will devour the entire galaxy, and its gods expulsion will open the door of chaos. It is the end of the old world and the beginning of the new world. The sleeping island in the sea will wake up along with its sleeping prisoners. The forgotten gods will devour all rational illusions. The source of ignorance and confusion will nourish the entire universe, and we will witness heaven!

His voice was full of some sort of yearning, which caused the crowd to let out a sudden burst of joy.

What was going on? Ethan suddenly got up from his seat and wanted to leave, but at this time, he saw Tanisiel walking slowly to the stage in front of the heavenly harp.

Almost at the same time, a soldier standing in front of their row stared at him with cold eyes. Please sit down.

The threat in that voice let Ethan know that if he didnt obey at the moment, he might be forced to sit back down. He suddenly felt that his reaction was a bit overexaggerated, but he had heard what the black man in his dream said in reality. Maybe he had heard this sentence before, and it was stored in his subconscious, resulting in such a dream

He hesitantly sat back, thinking that since Tanisiel was still here

The beautiful white priest stepped on a disc in the middle of the stage full of pedals, which seemed to be a platform used to balance the weight of his body that would not cause the heavenly harp to sound out. He paused for a moment before turning to look at Theonile.

His mentor said in a loud voice, The great chaos that is lying in wait has already sown the seeds of chaos in the human world. These seeds will start to take root and germinate today. Finally, He will throw more seeds all over the universe. He will accept the gift of the core of the universe and become its incarnation in the universe of Order, which will lead us to eternity!

As soon as his voice fell, Tanisiel suddenly took the first step.

A burst of ethereal and distant music accompanied his flowing steps as the huge glass disc moved in the air in a dazzling rolling dance. Tanisiels white robe became a beautiful lotus in the air. His steps were flexible and relaxed, and his posture was open and elegant, just like a white swan dancing on an ice lake. With his dancing steps, the poignant music trembled in the frozen air. Ethan had never heard such music, sounding as though it did not belong to this world as it floated down from the eternal sky.

The music was absolutely beautiful, but there was something wrong with it. After listening for a long time, Ethan felt that his entire being was being absorbed by something. There was no way for him to concentrate, and his mind seemed to be captured by the melody.

The white priests dance steps become increasingly intricate. With a pious smile on his beautiful face, the melody was woven like fine spider silk, driving everything in the hall to tremble with its frequency. Ethan noticed that all the people around him, including Samuel, seemed to have blank expressions similar to being hypnotized. Their eyes were fixed on the front, but Ethan did not know what they were staring at, as he could not focus on what they were looking at.

The empty expressions that seemed as if these people had lost their souls made him a little afraid. At the same time, the back of his neck began to itch and ache.

Shit

How could that be? Ethan didnt understand. He wanted to run away, but he found that he couldnt move. He didnt know when the melody had entered his brain, but he could not control himself to stop listening to the music that was like a mandala, a fatal temptation.

The buzzing in his brain surged, again and again, seeming to be responding to the continuous music from the sky. The more Ethan listened, the more he felt that everything around him was becoming unreal. It was like he was lost in a dream.

Ethan.

He suddenly heard a gentle voice, one which made Ethans body jolt up in shock.

He turned his head stiffly and saw a beautiful woman sitting beside him.

She was about thirty years old, with long dark brown curly hair that appeared like chocolate satin and beautiful green eyes that were like a beautiful emerald lake. There was a kind of breath-taking beauty about her. After staring for a long time, it seemed that even his soul would be lost in her eyes. Her skin was so white that he could almost see the blue blood vessels under the illumination of the candles. Her lips were bright red, oozing with charm as if they had been sucked and bitten previously. Her hands were so white and slender that they appeared very suitable for kneading the strings of a cello, while her ankles were so thin and light that she seemed to be about to float up.

MomMama Ethan choked.

His mother appeared in front of him exactly how she looked when she was most beautiful, during her three days of adulthood.

Ethan, my baby. She reached out and stroked the corners of his eyes, which were uncontrollably shedding tears. The cold fingers made him shiver. There was a rotten scent coming from her, but Ethan didnt think it smelled terrible now.

On the day he entered the Forbidden City, he knew that he would never see his mother again. Later, in the dream, the man said that his mother had died, and he became very numb, as though he had known it would happen sooner or later.

However, until now, he hadnt realized how much he missed his mother. He missed the feeling of being touched on his cheek and those gentle hands that would rub the top of his head, the blueberry pie she baked for him, and the melodic music that came from her room.

Mom, I miss you so much When she reached out and hugged him, he whispered this sentence on her shoulder. He could not smell the faint perfume his mothers body had in the past, but the familiar touch told him that this was his mother, the beautiful woman who gave birth to him.

Ethan, your father has been waiting for you. His mother gently stroked the back of his head.

Waiting for me? Ethan laughed and shook his head. No, he has broken all ties with me

She chuckled and whispered in his ear, Silly boy, Im not talking about my husband, but your real father.

Ethans body froze.

However, her whispers continued, and that voice that used to chatter endlessly caused Ethan to feel as though he had fallen into a cellar. Just after I was engaged to my husband, he came to me in my dream. He was so beautiful and gentle when he begged me to have an heir for him that I was unable to refuse him.

Ethan broke free from his mothers arms, ignoring the tears on his face. Mom, what are you talking about!

When the gods died, he had been walking on Earth alone for thousands of years, deceiving and tempting stupid lambs. As she recited, her fair and young skin rapidly aged and wrinkled, her ruddy lips shriveling and exposing yellow teeth, and her bright green eyes rotted in an instant, leaving only two holes. You are his pride, my baby!
