Chapter 322 Eternal Demon Disease

In this group of nearly immortal Eternals, getting sick is an impossible thing. Their bodies are completely different from humans, and they can get sick due to virus invasion and various factors of their own body.

However, a mental illness called Eternal Devil Disease breaks this concept. This is an incurable disease, and even the Eternals have not been able to find a cure for it in all these years.

Members of the Eternals who suffer from Eternal Devil Syndrome will fall into a state of madness due to various external stimuli. Their sanity will be devoured, and they will attack everything around them indiscriminately.

As luck would have it, Tina, one of the ten Eternals, got this terminal disease of the Eternals.

Gilgamesh and Tina

When the Eternals were still in ancient Babylon, humans were caught in a civil war, with two forces fighting each other for hatred and profit. Several members of the Eternals wanted to use their abilities to interfere in the war, as they did not want to see humans killing each other.

However, this behavior violates the purpose of the Eternals. Their duty is to protect humans from the invasion of Deviants. Apart from that, no Eternals are allowed to interfere with the development and disputes of humans. They can only act as an observer, silently watching the historical process of mankind and witnessing the rise and fall of civilization.

Theina's Eternal Devil Disease was triggered by this human conflict. During the onset of the disease, Theina's sanity was devoured by darkness, she became manic and restless, and even almost killed the leader Ajak. Fortunately, the Eternals took quick action and successfully stopped and controlled her.

Since Tina's eternal demon disease was still in the early stages of the disease, not long after she was controlled, she gradually regained consciousness amid the calls of her companions.

However, the leader Ajak proposed an idea that displeased many members. In order to prevent Tina from getting sick again and hurting other companions, she planned to erase Tina's memory.

Other Eternals may not know what the Eternal Disease is, but Ajak, who has retained his memories, naturally knows what this terminal illness called the Eternal Disease is.

In the comics, Permanent Devil Syndrome is described as a curse of the Eternals, but in the Marvel movie world, the emergence of Permanent Devil Syndrome actually stems from the Celestials' repeated memory deletion operations on the Eternals.

Noah felt that the Celestials in the movie world seemed a little unreliable. He wanted to create a race to protect the Celestials, but ended up creating the Deviants, who ate up all the nutrients that gave birth to the Celestials.

He tried to clear the memories of his Eternals, but sometimes the memory was not completely cleared, resulting in the memory of their mission on the previous planet remaining, which made them crazy.

This is the truth about Eternal Devil Syndrome. It is not an incurable disease, but because the Eternals whose memories have not been cleared have been oppressed by the memories of the previous mission, their minds have reached an unbearable level, causing their minds to fall into a state of confusion and pain.

Therefore, Ajak proposed to erase Tina's memory, because this is the only way for them, the Eternals, to deal with the Eternal Devil Syndrome.

However, Ajak's suggestion was not approved by the tribe members. Because of this incident, the Eternal member, Druid, who had the ability to control the mind, began to question the mission of their Eternal tribe. He was very dissatisfied that he had the ability to stop humans from killing each other, but he could only witness this incident with his own eyes.

So the druid decided to leave the team. Before leaving, he used his mental abilities to control the soldiers from the two warring countries and stopped them from continuing to fight.

Ajak also took this opportunity to disband their team, allowing these people to live a good life in the last few hundred years of God's appearance.

Gilgamesh and Tina, two of the ten, have been living together since they left the team. They have a similar relationship to Ikaris and Circe, but they did not get married with human ceremonies like them. But perhaps they have performed their own wedding ceremony in private over the past few hundred years.

Tina's eternal demon disease became more and more serious during the past few hundred years, so Gilgamesh brought Tina to live in seclusion in this desert where there is no one living within tens of thousands of kilometers.

Gilgamesh's Earth House

At this time, Noah and Ajak were approaching Gilgamesh's residence, an earthen house, which should have been built by Gilgamesh himself.

"The abnormal tribe, I didn't expect they would chase us here." At this moment, Ajak suddenly spoke.

Noah followed Ajak's gaze and saw several huge bodies of abnormal people piled up in a mess on the sand dunes not far from the earthen house.

The appearance of these abnormal tribes is not like the wolf-shaped abnormal tribes Noah had seen before. They do not seem to be the same batch, but they should have been unsealed from certain places after the Wind of Revival.

"Do these abnormal tribes also have a way to track you?" Noah asked. Otherwise, the desert is so vast that it is impossible for them to find the trace of Gilgamesh and others by chance.

"I don't know either. The Deviants have been fighting with us Eternals for millions of years, and we don't know what abilities the Deviants have evolved." Ajak shook his head and said.

In addition to the corpses, Noah also saw a figure in white clothes sitting under a dead tree not far from the mud house, with his head down, not knowing what he was doing.

The other party should be Tina. The corpses of those abnormal people are still fresh and were just dealt with not long ago. At this time, Tina should be in a state of eternal demonic syndrome.

Thinking of this, Noah did not plan to look for the other party first, but went directly to the wooden door of the earthen house.

"We're here, come and knock on the door." Noah said, extending his hand.

Ajax nodded and raised his hand to knock on the door.

But before she could knock on the door, the wooden door in front of her was opened by someone inside.

The person who opened the door from the inside was Gilgamesh, a man who looked very strong. Gilgamesh noticed some movement outside the house, and Tina was in a state of eternal demonic disease and would not recover so quickly, so he planned to come out to see what was going on.

As a result, when Gilgamesh opened the door, he saw Ajak, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Hey! Ajak! Long time no see." When Gilgamesh saw Ajak, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and then he opened his arms and hugged him.

"Gilgamesh, it's been a long time since we last met." Ajak also smiled and patted Gilgamesh on the back.

"Ajak, why are you here, and who is this..." Gilgamesh said to Ajak after retracting his arms, and then he finally saw Noah next to him.
