Chapter 24 Newborn, Prayer(1/2)
Light and shadow alternate in cycles, pushing time forward in a hurry.
Deep in the foggy city.
There are only shadows intertwined in the secret room with no way to reach it.
Arthur, who was still lying on the test bench, could no longer accurately calculate the time.
Staying in this empty and quiet laboratory, he shuttled back and forth between lucid dreams and reality. From about 3 years... 5 years? Or maybe it was 10 years ago, he stopped waking up.
, the container also lay motionless on the test platform, making no sound at all, and fell into complete silence as if it was coming to an end.
Arthur, who was stored in the container, did not fall into a dream, but he completely lost the ability to perceive the outside world.
Waves of numbness and itching developed on his body.
And...it's getting more and more serious.
Unable to open his eyes, he didn't know what was happening to him. Russell had no such experience in his two lives.
Faced with this situation, he did not dare to use his extraordinary abilities to fight. This was an important step in completing the birth of life, and a smooth birth was the basis of all plans, and there must be no accidents.
All he could do was be patient.
Gradually, he was overwhelmed by confusion and helplessness.
As an old man, he had never experienced the senses of such a low-level creature.
A few seconds was the only way he could distract himself.
Intermittently, the count reaches the 9460801st second.
"Boom!"
A faint sound attracted Arthur's full attention before he could concentrate on listening.
"Boom!"
The sound of more powerful drumming made Arthur's heart tremble, followed by a continuous rhythm.
This is the sound coming from inside him.
It is the first sound that symbolizes the existence of life. Every sound invades the ears and shakes the soul.
Even if he felt uneasy and fearful, Arthur did not dare to move randomly and could only curl up into a ball as much as possible.
This is due to the sound of his heartbeat inside his body.
It is proof of the upcoming birth!
Countless information was tumbling in his mind, and he unconsciously rubbed his eyes with his hands. Black dirty blood flowed from the slits of his eyes, gradually clouding the amniotic fluid in the placenta, until the dirt drained away, and the first bright golden light emerged from the slits of his eyes.
Then it disappears, then appears again, then disappears again.
With the help of his hands, more and more golden light appeared in his eyes.
The instinct to make a sound is blocked in the throat.
finally……
Open your eyes!
Container is torn!!
A roar that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly broke out:
"Ho! Roar! Roar!!!! Woo... Wow, wow, wow, wow..."
First there was the angry roar of a terrifying giant beast, and after the emotions were finally vented, the cries of a baby followed one after another, mixed with sobbing sounds, intermittent, and it was not clear whether it was because of joy or grievance.
It's also this time.
In the torn container, a strange baby with a blue body, twisted silver patterns engraved on its body, and a golden light in its eyes slowly sat up in a pool of blood.
This is the born Arthur.
I saw him tearing his umbilical cord while crying.
After completing this task, the weirdness about him immediately faded away, and he soon turned into an ordinary baby boy with chestnut hair and brown eyes.
It was also the act of cutting off the umbilical cord that caused the structure of the container to be completely destroyed, and the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 4 "Fallen Earl" and "Law Mage" began to automatically separate out.
At this moment, as if pressing the pause button, Arthur calmed down without warning.
After wiping away the mess on his face expressionlessly, he raised his little hand. The "Holy Grail" that had been hiding in the corner at some point was immediately caught in his hand and stared at with a cold gaze.
I glanced repeatedly at this black wine glass with gold inlay.
"You... saw it, right?"
Although it is a question, the sentence itself is a sentence.
At this time, no matter how much the "Holy Grail" pretends that it does not have the characteristics of being alive, it is impossible to change its destiny.
Gently stroking the "Holy Grail", Arthur showed an innocent smile and thought in his heart:
"This is a day worth rejoicing. Before praying to the body, it is time to prepare a gift and have fun together."
Having made a decision, Arthur used his clear childish voice to speak a language that had never existed in history:
“There are shadows of past empires;”
“Negative of the ideal banner of the present;”
"The void territory that carries the future."
This honorable name points to the "empty realm" of the source material possessed by the original body.
Originally, before the initial barrier disappeared, it was impossible for him to secretly contact the old Japanese body in the starry sky. As long as the contact appeared, the Earth God who was repairing the barrier in the star realm would be alerted. He would be dealt with on the spot before he could do anything.
But who gave him a little bit of Russell's specialness?
All it takes is to "distort" the concepts of praying to the "Origin Castle" and praying to the "Void Territory", and the two parties can use the "chaotic" authority of the "Void Territory" to make covert connections.
Now Arthur is just playing with the "Holy Grail" and quietly waiting for the arrival of his true form.
After all, he successfully snatched a piece of meat from the mouth of the "Fallen Mother Goddess". No matter how you think about it, the situation of the main body in the starry sky will not be too good.
But what he didn't expect was that half a day had passed, and even though he was aroused by low-level hunger, he still didn't get a response from his body.
He was sure that he had successfully accessed the "wifi" of "Origin Castle".
If you don't get a response, there must be something wrong with the ontology.
I was worried, but I didn't care too much.
Instead, the body's hunger needs to be dealt with.
Using the authority of Misty City, a roasted chicken was directly transferred. Smelling the fragrant aroma made Arthur's suppressed anger calm down a lot. Just as he was about to start eating, and when his hands were about to touch the roasted chicken, he stopped.
Frowning, he looked at his naked self, the bloody remains of the container underneath him, and the messy test bench. Two thoughts formed in his mind:
"This is not a suitable environment to eat."
"Besides, I'm still naked. Even a human baby should have a sense of shame."
He is sure that he is now a complete human being and needs to learn to use human thinking first.
This is the basis for using the acting method.
Clumsily crawling out of the wreckage of the container, looking at himself completely stained by blood, he felt unhappy again. As his eyes bloomed with blue, his sharp gaze swept across the golden and black bodies covered with flesh and blood.
Light group.
Feeling the emperor's will standing at the apex of the sequence, the two precipitated Sequence 4 extraordinary characteristics immediately turned into two streams of gold and black, breaking through the barrier of the flesh and blood debris, spinning around Arthur happily, and then quickly moved to his chubby body.
On the wrist of his left hand, they were intertwined to form two bracelets, one black and one gold.
Turn your eyes again.
The scattered blood and rotten flesh receded as quickly as the ebbing tide.
After twisting, converging and compressing, only a black ball of flesh and blood remained, which automatically rolled to the edge of the test bench.
Then, he raised his palm and wiped it on the torn black hooded robe of the container.
This rag-like robe came to life in an instant. After intense self-pulling, rotation and twisting, it finally turned into an extra-small black short coat, which was worn by Arthur.
Finally, the images of things around him gradually became blurred, and then distorted and replaced with brand-new items.
The metal test bench is transformed into a wooden dining table, covered with gorgeous tablecloths;
Next to the pulley chair, place a high backrest stool with fluffy cushions;
Knives, forks, chopsticks, spoons and other utensils are placed on both sides of the hands;
Plates, pots and bowls with exquisite food are arranged in a row before your eyes;
Flowers appear in vases;
The golden candlesticks light up with candlelight;
Soft classical music rings in my ears...
When this distortion spread to the floor and walls, Arthur stopped replacing items from Mist City. He felt a little inconsistent.
To be continued...
