Chapter 1567 Moon War (Seventy-nine)

The setting sun dances in the river valley and streams like burning flames.

Jiaying stood here unwilling to leave. She looked at the walls of the Kree lab, made of polished square boulders, embedded in the steep cliffs. The cold steel doors were retracted, and the apron was open like a hungry dormant beast with its mouth open, waiting for its prey. Throw yourself into a trap. This is the first time Jiaying has seen the Kree. The blue skin and human-like facial features indicate the reason why the Kree selected the Earth as a genetic engineering experiment. These blue-skinned alien races walked down the river valley, Towards the primitive humans who came here to seek refuge.

Due to some kind of animistic belief, primitive humans began to worship and fear the areas surrounded by shields.

They gathered in caves and clearings carved out of the fir forests at the foot of the cliff. All the primitive humans with bloodlust who once attacked the laboratory were killed by technology they could not understand. So among these primitive peoples, myths were born. They believe that the gods live on the cliffs and master the secrets and wisdom of lightning, even though they have never seen any gods. They only saw a fleeting glimpse of the giant ship chasing the sun painted on the rock wall cave in the legend of their ancestors.

"I'm very interested in this period of history." Jiaying said, "You seem to be easier to talk to than before."

"Because you hope so, madam, what you see is just a reflection of the dream, a certain aspect of the world that reflects on my mind. Just like the emperor you saw in Attilan, that It’s also a reflection, but not everyone can bear my side of being an emperor, but I can’t live without that identity.”

"What should I call you?"

"You can call me Joshua, Ms. Jiaying."

"Is this your real name?"

"I don't have a real name. To be precise, you can't understand my real name." The emperor watched the cold steel door on the cliff slowly close, and the superstitious and timid primitive people walked tremblingly behind the Kree people. They saw the fire released from the hands of the so-called gods, so they sacrificed the strongest warriors of the tribe. In their minds, this was the only way to become a demigod. "You can only see cruel experiments here, as well as biological genetic engineering knowledge that you cannot understand. Don't waste time, Ms. Jiaying, we are going to see the corpses of the so-called gods in this world."

"God? I remember you are an atheist." Jiaying's face that is very similar to Daisy Johnson showed almost the same sarcastic expression, "I just hope you won't point at a Kree Let me see his body."

"I am a materialist. For me, the word God does not possess the attributes of omniscience and omnipotence in the Abrahamic pantheon. If God really exists in this world, then the word God is just a noun used to describe this creature. For example, when we go to the zoo to visit lions, we often see the name Cat family on the nameplate.”

"Very interesting." Jiaying asked the emperor to hold her hand, "You have a great sense of humor."

Suddenly the stars were changing, morning and night were changing rapidly, and the high-speed strobe was beyond her ability to accept information, making her dizzy. Some kind of hollow high-frequency flapping sound penetrated her ears and then came out again, repeating the cycle until the jumping stopped. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was standing on a large black rock, with the snow-covered plain stretching from her feet to the dark gray horizon. It wasn't until she turned her head that she noticed several bodies with black smoke lying on the nearby snow, while heat came from the other side of her, almost drying her skin.

These corpses were covered in a tar-like substance, and upon closer inspection you could see that the limbs and bones of these corpses were not consistent with any creature in the world. Even though only the skeletons were left, Jiaying still believed that these creatures came from the late-night nightmares of insane patients. Bone claws and sharp teeth fused with each other, and several skulls grew on the bone plates. Everything was combined in a terrifying form. . The heat was getting closer, but Jiaying didn't feel the burning pain.

"Don't worry, there will always be some trouble when jumping in time. But it is not the most terrifying blocker." Jiaying caught a glimpse of the long sword releasing a golden shimmer in the emperor's hand. He was as relaxed as cutting a piece of meat, and there wasn't even any sweat on his forehead. "Don't worry about the heat. You can feel the heat just because in your impression the flame will cause such damage. This world is subjective and idealistic. This is the dream. As long as your will is strong enough, you can change anything. thing."

"You killed these creatures?"

"I have killed many similar creatures. They are born from our souls and consciousness. They are nightmares and curses that all intelligent races in the material universe cannot escape. At least for now, they cannot escape. Dimensions beyond matter can create many miracles. We must Use it with caution.”

"Where are we again?"

"We were at the very beginning of life on Earth."

Huge shadows rose from the horizon, the earth trembled, cracked, and mountains collapsed. The whole world, like it was built with Lego, gradually collapsed in the terrible earthquake. Jiaying raised her head and saw a pair of huge eyes appearing on the distant skyline that was dyed blood red by the afterglow, followed by a dark body that seemed to be made of steel striding forward, like a Titan in Greek mythology. This giant with golden stripes like circuits seems to move slowly but is actually extremely fast. However, every movement of its limbs will cause terrible earthquakes, and the sky will also roll up storms. Amidst the lightning and thunder, Jiaying sees the name Black blood flowed on the Titan's body. The blood hit the ground like a waterfall, forming deep pits, and then seeped into the ground, forming rivers of black blood.

The Titan came towards them, black blood pouring down like a torrential rain.

Even though he was only observing from a distance, Jiaying still felt like he would be blown away by the strong wind caused by the Titan's moving limbs. If the emperor hadn't gently grabbed Jiaying's shoulders, she would have been frightened crazy by this sight, because no one could imagine a mountain range rushing towards her at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What is this?" Jiaying shouted almost frantically, "What the hell is this!"

"God, the God of the material universe. But even the God of the material universe will be corrupted. I wonder if you have ever understood the mutual cooperation between single-cell organisms at the beginning of the birth of life? For example, mitochondria. Mitochondria were originally single-cell organisms. Until it crept into our ancestors and formed a symbiotic relationship."

"What does mitochondria have to do with this thing?" Jiaying almost shouted. What she saw was beyond what most people could bear. She was almost frightened out of her mind, and her mind was as shattered as if it had been run over by the Alps. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that such a huge creature existed in this world. "It's a giant!"

"The blood flowing from the dead god entered the earth's ecosystem and forever changed the potential of primitive single-cell organisms. This is also the reason why the Kree chose humans as subjects of genetic engineering experiments. The potential of humans is enough Let us ascend to the top of the galaxy and rule all things. The blood of this giant flows in our bodies. But this gift is also an inescapable curse. The potential of human beings is so powerful that we have nothing to do with another spirit. The connection between dimensions is unusually close.”

At some point, Jiaying suddenly found herself standing on a soft and white carpet.

When she raised her head, she found that she was actually standing in a palm, and the owner of the palm was the emperor who brought her here. In the blink of an eye, she saw the emperor coming to the side of the mechanical god and walking side by side with the black god. The earth flew by quickly before her eyes. The forests, lakes, and mountains were like miniature landscapes on the grass in front of the house, which seemed small and unreal. The arc of the earth was fully revealed in her eyes - this reminded her of the comic books she had read when she was a child. It was a kind of simple cartoon, usually horizontally rectangular, only in black and white - she remembered what the emperor said, this world is subjective and idealistic, as long as the willpower is strong enough, you can create anything in this dream. .

"In some cases, the human race will give birth to psykers, and the Inhumans are the result of the Kree using genetic engineering methods to try to mine and manipulate human psionic genes, because in the Kree myths and legends, they It was created by the god of the material universe." He said to Jiaying, "Imagine you are a giant and then stand next to me. Close your eyes and use your imagination."

"Are you in my head? Or in a dream?"

"Does it make any difference, Jiaying?"

The drums around the fire gradually began to beat, each heavy blow accompanied by a spray of carotid blood and a hiss of leaking air. The sound of the drums gradually became more intense and intensive, and the speed of arterial blood spraying also gradually increased. A strange vocal ensemble was squeezed out of the deformed and twisted throat, and appeared in harmony with the various indistinguishable pieces of internal organs and meat that were thrown into the campfire. The thick smoke was emitted, and the chorus was pushed to harsh high-frequency tones that ordinary human vocal cords could not produce. It made people dizzy and caused cold sweat to break out on their foreheads.

The drum sound stopped suddenly, and the sweet smoke from the bonfire was inhaled into the lungs of the Inhumans who formed a circle and then slowly exhaled. Surprisingly, every Inhuman who tasted the smoke did not suffer from lack of oxygen. And fainted, but invigorated.

They lowered their voices and whispered excitedly.

The topics are nothing more than chronic injuries caused by years of work, and diseases caused by genetic mutations. The torture of chronic diseases that seems to have no end has been alleviated. Even the originally weak and tired bodies have become extremely light after inhaling the smoke. Even those who were treated by Ati The wounds on the deserters recruited by the Lan royal family and then turned traitors visibly healed after drinking holy water and inhaling the smoke. Under the shouts of the priests, these poor people with serious genetic mutations living deep in the Attilan Star Fortress cast their fanatical eyes on the figure wearing the crown standing on the high platform, because that person brought them the forgotten people Salvation eased their pain. For these people, Maximus was no less than the brightest light that had ever appeared in an eternally dark life, and the promises made by this sect seemed to have been fulfilled.

"The savior has arrived!" the priest announced loudly, "We will take up arms to create a kingdom belonging to the true God!"

Maximus held up a head in his hands. After cleaning the blood stains, Peril's discolored cheeks were still beautiful. He descended from the dais with the head in hand and placed it into the body of the priestess, soaked in the blood of the sacrifice. He smeared the blood on the ground on his face in unison, and then chanted ancient poems in uninterrupted harmony - a language that was born before the creation of the Inhumans. As early as the birth of the Kree people, this language has been spread among the ancient Kree Empire sects, and along with the Kree Empire's education of Inhuman psykers, it has gradually penetrated into this genetically engineered race - Maximus. He has never learned this language, but now he can fluently sing complex mythological poems in this language. The lyrics praise the true God who is older than the universe, as well as the ancient prophets who received miracles from "angels" and promoted rulers who believed in the true God from among the people.

The dead resurrected, summoned fire from heaven, commanded the wind and rain, and changed the stars.

People sang about the power of the true God, even if they did not understand the meaning of these psalms, but it was the only education they had received. Along with the singing, the head in Maximus's hand gradually shed its skin and flesh, revealing the dense white bones. Even Peril's cleaned and naked corpse was torn open by the blood that gradually climbed up the flesh. It seems that after a whole century, or just a few breaths, the evidence of the existence of the priestess has completely disappeared. The priests lead the choir even more fanatically, and use multiple short whips to beat the surrounding believers. The increasingly harsh harmonies were joined by screams of agony.

Macasimus subconsciously stretched out his arm.

The originally thin layer of blood seemed to have turned into an endless deep pool, and Maximus's shoulders did not sink into the blood-covered stone slabs. His arms moved in the thick and smelly liquid, as if looking for something. Suddenly he stood up, clutching something in his hands. The priests cheered and beat the believers harder, while the fanatical believers showed joy because of the pain they endured. They sang "Return, Return" in joy. The priestess, whose whole body was covered with thick blood and whose long hair stuck tightly to her scalp, opened her eyes. She ignored the noise around her and stared at Maximus with her snow-white pupils.

She vomited a lump of caked black blood.

"I'm back." She turned around, the nearly solidified viscous blood slowly dripping from her body, exuding the charm of a perfect blend of coquettishness and violence. "I have seen the true nature of the gods." She turned and announced to her followers, "You shall worship your King, who is here."
