Chapter 93: What Is “Eternal”
Speaking of which, Oaks’ image in the eyes of the public has always been that of a gentle and harmless scientist.
And, his research seems to be more botanical, as is his achievement.
But as a Druid who can turn himself into a beast, Oaks obviously won’t give up his studies in zoology.
With a spirit enhanced by the power of nature, his intelligence is no less than Tony and Banner.
So, when a living Eternal is under his control, is it reasonable not to do something?
Obviously unreasonable.
When Zhu Ke’s eyes changed from dull to terrifying, Oakes knocked him unconscious again.
Although there is no experimental equipment in the rainforest, this is not a limitation on the fact that research results can not necessarily be reduced to scientific conclusions that can be argued by others.
So, when Zhu Ke woke up again after a long coma, what he saw was Oaks who looked at him with strange eyes…
And a cat and a dog.
This is the same chapel, but the style inside has completely changed.
The branches of many plants constitute some shelves, cabinets, tables, chairs…
And there are some strange structures that he doesn’t understand at all.
And Zhu Ke himself was lying on a strange “bed”, there seemed to be many vines and branches around.
That human is wearing a strange… robe? looking at himself.
That robe is very strange, it seems to be made of plant fiber and metal, and it is full of energy!
“What did you do to me…hs!”
Zhu Ke took a deep breath and held his head down—
His mental power is still in a state of confusion, because Ox has found a way to deal with the power of the Eternals, disrupting the energy in his body with astral energy.
Slowly stood up and paused for a few seconds, what Zhu Ke thought was wrong with this bed.
“This thing… what is it?”
“Experimental bench.”
Oaks was satisfied to see Zhu Ke’s small eyes widen suddenly, and said with some joking:
“As a scientist, of course, when studying samples, you will use a test bed… but you don’t have one here, so I made one now.
The other plants have other functions – don’t worry, you are the same now as before, I didn’t inject you with any strange potions, and I didn’t slice you. ”
“…You mentioned the Asgardians before? Are they coming to Earth again?”
Zhu Ke forced his attention away from those weird plants:
“And you didn’t take advantage of this time to let those people go?”
“Of course, they are used to living here, and rushing out into human society is a dead end… But they are no longer under your control.
As for the Asgardians… well you know they’re not surprising, but that’s not what we’re going to discuss today. ”
Oakes shook his head, these people were at a loss at first.
After studying Zhuke’s way of using cosmic energy, although Oaks couldn’t manipulate energy like him to gain the ability to control his mind, these humans who were accustomed to Zhuke’s control felt very kind to him.
So Oaks was able to teach them some ways to survive after Zhuke left to a certain extent.
Fortunately, they are not completely isolated from the world. After a period of adaptation, they can already live in this rainforest on their own.
And… Now that Oaks has taken control of this rainforest, it is still possible to provide some simple shelter for a small human village.
“As for what I did to you…”
Oaks’ eyes became complicated, and Zhu Ke suddenly felt absurd—
Because he saw “mercy” in Oaks’ eyes!
This human being is actually ‘sympathizing” with the Eternals? !
Why is he!
“Although I have deep feelings for human beings, I have also shed tears for human beings, rebuked my compatriots, and even parted ways with them in the end…”
Zhu Ke frowned, and the original ruffian expression became solemn, and his not tall body also puffed out his chest:
“Although I don’t think I’m a ‘God’ and I even lost to you, I don’t think I’ll be reduced to the level of being pitied by you!”
“…Sorry, I just have some…”
Oaks looked at Zhu Ke, who was full of aura, and his eyes were a little dazed—
That is the heavy feeling brought by the real seven thousand years of history.
Although Zhu Ke usually looks like a big boy next door, he is still in a period of rebellion…
But once he got serious, Oaks could realize the heaviness of the “eternity” of the “Eternals”.
“Eternals…”
Oaks shook his head slightly, the pressure released by Zhu Ke, who had not recovered, was nothing to him.
“I… may have discovered some of the reasons why you are called ‘eternal’.”
“what?”
Zhu Ke was slightly startled, and the huge momentum stagnated for a moment:
“What do you mean?”
Did he crack his own abilities? But how is this possible!
“I don’t know what your so-called hometown is, what kind of place Olympia is, but…”
Oxton paused and considered his words:
“You should know that your Eternals, at least you, look no different from humans in appearance.
You can eat human food, you will bleed if you are injured, and even the blood is red. Although your body defense is much stronger than that of ordinary humans, it seems that it is not the kind that human weapons cannot harm. ”
Zhu Ke nodded slightly, indeed.
Although the Eternals control cosmic energy very cleverly, without the blessing of cosmic energy, their bodies are not immortal.
It’s just that being able to hurt them and being able to kill them are two different things. In the eyes of a human being, a fatal injury, even in the eyes of an Eternal Race like Zhu Ke, who are not good at frontal combat, is not a big deal.
“But I found that your body cells are very different from ‘organisms’ in the ordinary sense.”
Oaks’ words made Zhu Ke frown:
“What’s the difference?”
“In the growth and reproduction of ordinary organisms, although the power of genes maintains the stability of the shape, in fact, ‘evolution’ and ‘mutation’ have always existed in the history of biology.”
Oaks pointed to the surrounding plants, then pointed to the people outside, and was even wary of staring at Zhu Ke’s and:
“Evolution and mutation are important components for organisms to adapt to the environment, survive and develop, but I don’t see this ‘possibility’ in you.”
In Zhu Ke’s eyes that were first puzzled, then confused, and finally surprised, Oaks emphasized again:
“Yes, your body is ‘eternal’, even if you live a long life, you can’t change anything—
Whether it is a variety of diseases caused by environmental stimuli variation, or the ability to enhance…
Your physical condition and ability, seven thousand years ago and now, are completely the same, right? ”
“…Yes.”
Zhu Ke was silent for a moment, then spoke with some difficulty:
“You mean my body, my ability, is like…”
“They’re all ‘eternal’ and don’t change in any way over time – which is not a fundamental characteristic of natural life.”
Oaks’ icy voice made Zhu Ke’s heart skip a beat:
“It’s like a pre-programmed AI robot.”
