Darkness engulfed the entire world, and Earth lost its voice.
Looking down from outer space, on this planet shrouded in darkness, countless spots of light spread in all directions according to the law of human activity. A power that had been accumulating power was brewing in the darkness. The restlessness and uneasiness under the light were comforted by the darkness. The silent world was quiet and beautiful.
In Tokyo, the sun did not rise today.
The temperature on the surface continued to drop, but because of the popularization of fusion energy, humans did not lack energy to maintain their body temperature. Immeasurable energy radiation left the earth in a short instant, turning this bright land into the cradle of darkness. It also caused the temperature of life to fall into a freezing cold.
The star that shone on the earth for billions of years, the power that humans were most familiar with, most loved, most feared, and most worshiped. The god of human civilization was Apollo, Ra, the Golden Crow, Hao Tian, Taiyi, Amaterasu, and Amon. The unparalleled divine existence of civilization did not rise today.
After the most ordinary truth collapsed, it was often the deepest fear.
The dark night was like the shadow of the Apocalypse, like the fear of ice, like an irresistible darkness. For the first time, humans had such a deep understanding of the shadow that stood behind civilization, the existence that destroyed Manhattan and shocked the world.
Now, everyone deeply understood how gentle the gravitational tide that occurred in the center of Manhattan was! He only set the scope of influence on a narrow island. Although that small island was the most prosperous center of the entire world, compared to an asteroid hitting the earth, a superhuman artificial intelligence that suddenly changed, the cosmic zerg that devoured everything, the quantum plague, and the extinguishing of the sun, the small matter of attacking Manhattan was not worth mentioning.
If it was not because this was the first announcement of the Apocalypse, it would not even be ranked in the top ten of the chronology of the Apocalypse.
In the darkness, people clearly remembered the turning point of everything.
On television all over the world. The announcement made by the figure that appeared at the same time on the network.
"I am a traveler in time and space, a messenger of progress. I am just a passerby in every world. I enjoy the scenery of different worlds, I listen to the surging voice of fate, I announce the direction of progress. Let me witness the wonders of this world! No matter where you are, no matter if you are a hero. A criminal, I will witness everything. "
"I am the king of the world!"
At that time, the world's most dangerous terrorist appeared and took away the glory of Al Qaeda after 9/11. The economic center of the world's most powerful country was destroyed. People thought that no terrorist organization could be crazier and more dangerous than this. Apart from a world war and a nuclear crisis, this was the most terrifying thing in the world.
The most dangerous terrorist. Mutants were a threat to the world!
Thus, Skynet appeared. In the future, the culprit behind the destruction of human civilization, the incarnation of war, the mutants were like cute and harmless babies in front of it. Even the most extreme of the Mutants, the Brotherhood represented by Magneto, are full of peace lovers in the face of the war on Skynet.
The crisis of the US economy. Black Friday in the stock market!
After the oil crisis and the financial meltdown, the stock market became a thing of the past. In this economic era known as the Great Crash, everything that had defined the economy in the past had changed. They could all be swept into the trash. The resurrection of the Red Specter made the entire world run in a completely unknown direction. The wheels of history ran wild.
A huge crisis that threatened human civilization!
After the collision of heaven and earth, after the arrival of the mutants. After the penetration of Skynet technology, the advent of dimensional reduction, the quantum virus, stellar life, the extinction of the sun, and a series of crises, people on Earth no longer cared about such trivial matters. Compared to what human civilization had experienced, the mutants' split movement was really not worth making a fuss about.
In a short period of one year, the nerves of the entire society were trained to be extremely tough. The threat of the mutants, the power that was difficult to control in the past, had become a joke today. The great bankruptcy and economic collapse that would have destroyed the lives of most ordinary people were immediately forgotten in the face of the continuous oncoming crisis.
The professor silently watched the darkness gradually cover the earth. He was waiting very patiently for the moment when everything would change. He could feel the great power that could change the world at such a close distance. Everything that was built on the human civilization seemed so insignificant in the face of this astronomical vastness and eternity.
Humans were too small. In the hundreds of trillions of galaxies, in the countless galaxies, the earth could not be described as insignificant. It simply had no sense of existence. In the face of the universe, human civilization was terrifyingly small.
"Is this how you feel? Apocalypse, it's hard for me to imagine the emptiness you feel in the face of such greatness! "The professor sighed." What does it feel like to understand everything, to be omniscient and omnipotent? For others, the extremely brilliant civilization, what does it look like in your eyes? Everything in this world, how much of it makes you feel tasteless? "
"There really aren't many interesting things!" Chen Ang smiled and said, "It's the same for interesting people, Professor. There are fewer and fewer existences in this world that I feel I can communicate with. Many times, the higher one stands, the deeper the research, the more one understands, and the things that were originally interesting gradually become boring. "
"The leap of the level of life will inevitably make the past distant. Progress itself is a process of destroying one's own past. With every step forward, the personality has to undergo countless tempering and changes. After real growth, it is also a denial of one's past self. Sometimes, I am also confused by a problem!"
"Oh? What problem? "The professor asked with interest.
"There's a ship, let's call it the Apocalypse! In the process of sailing, it constantly replaced old parts with newer and more advanced things. When it was first born, it was a sailboat. Then, it was replaced with a paddle wheel, put on iron armor, replaced the keel, and upgraded the engine. In this way, after a series of extremely difficult processes, the small sailboat became a space warship. "
"Then, using the parts shed from this sailboat and reassembling it, making it exactly the same as before. Every part is a new sailboat from the old ship. In comparison, which one is the real Apocalypse?"
"The Charles was used to the point of sinking! So I can't answer! "The professor smiled and said," You need to agree and communicate, Apocalypse! What do you think about falling in love? "
"Feelings are communication on an equal footing. I can tolerate the incomparably obvious parasites on my partner, the incoordination and ugliness of her body, her clumsy psychological activities and slow IQ, and her ignorance of the world. But we can't communicate! Normal people won't associate with a retard! "
"And the gap between me and ordinary humans is even greater!"
Chen Ang paused and asked, "Charles, what does it feel like to be telepathic? No one can hide their secrets in front of you, and human thoughts are transparent to you. What kind of feeling is that? "
"It's a nightmare! I know their ugliness and their little calculations. They simply become another existence in front of me. It's like living in a mentally retarded world. I hate communicating with them, and I hate interacting with humans. That period of time almost drove me crazy. It's a lonely feeling that is incompatible with the real world. "
"So you give in, you beg for mercy, you can't stand this loneliness. It's like a normal person can't stand the world of psychopaths, so you make yourself like them. You make a cage and trap yourself in the crowd. " Chen Ang said calmly, "But this is your choice, and I won't. I'd rather be lonely to stand higher and see further."
"This is a kind of torture!" The professor sighed.
"Actually, I'm curious!" The professor continued, "Clones are not a perfect individual. They are very pure, and this purity even lacks something necessary for an intelligent creature. In other words, they don't have a sound personality, and I even doubt if they can understand the existence of self. "
"An existence that can't identify with self is not a perfect individual! Use them as tools. This is the cruelest period of time in this world, but liberation is also a profound test for them. At present, they still lack what they need to be an independent civilization. If they coexist with humans, there will inevitably be fierce friction. "
"Even war!"
"But if they leave humans, what they lack will never be able to make up for. So I want to know what you think. "
Chen Ang looked at the civilization of clones and slowly said, "There is not only one form of civilization. For Earth civilization, clones lack self, but this is only from the perspective of Earth civilization. There are many forms of life, and the same is true for civilizations. Sometimes, there is not only one choice. "
The professor looked at Chen Ang with a solemn gaze.
"What will you do?"
"I'll give them a choice! Not just clones, but even humans, another form of existence that has been verified, another civilization. They can choose whether to forget everything in the past, choose a new path, and create a new existence, or walk on the path of the past. "
The professor asked directly, "What path?"
Chen Ang replied calmly, "Quantization, ghost state!"
"Sephiroth will stimulate another excited state of solar radiation, creating a huge high-energy ion body covering hundreds of kilometers in the Sahara Desert, which is a huge ball of lightning with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers. This high-energy body will only exist for one-tenth of a second, and it will destroy and evaporate the human body within a nanosecond. "
"The clones and humans who choose this path will completely change their form and become a quantum ghost state creature, just like Sephiroth. They will know and understand themselves again, and create a new civilization in another world."
The professor's hand squeezed the armrest of the wheelchair so hard that it made a cracking sound. Because of the violent force, his hand became pale.
"This is death!"
"No, this is the immortality of the Grim Reaper!" Chen Ang said.
"Civilizations in the quantum state may not be able to communicate directly with civilizations in the material dimension, but they can interfere with this world to a certain extent. In the collective subconscious world of humans, you can see their information in some universe constants."
"Do you want to see their flash? Take a look at the words they left behind when they bid farewell to this world. "Chen Ang handed the professor a pair of red colored glasses and said," Go and take a look! "
PS: The third chapter of the eighth chapter is really exhausting to think of the ending! This volume is coming to an end. I really can't write fast, so I can only rely on time to update. Currently, it takes me three hours to write a chapter!
