Jean stared at the man in tattered clothes in front of him. He wore the pitch-black captain's hat for who knows how long. The black things were all stains. Only the color on the hat had faded, and the yellowed seagull badge could still be seen.
"I'm Captain John Gene!"
After John finished speaking, Deguna smiled.
"Who are you? Or what are you?"
Deguna's eyes signaled that Rose was already alert, and some people from Section 10 were ready to launch their aircraft and leave at any time, because the gods had told them that they must leave as soon as possible when encountering danger.
"Put away your hostility and come over and let's talk, if you want to know."
Jean jumped to the island, Rose stayed on the aircraft, and Deguna followed closely behind.
The two came to John's side and found that the black water under their feet began to harden and they were able to stand on their feet.
"I don't know how long it has been since I last saw you, maybe a century, or even more."
John said, Gene looked at him in astonishment, Deguna was ready to take action at any time.
"Stop your hostility and come to Deguna. It's pointless on this doomsday ship."
Deguna laughed.
"Is this a ship?"
John nodded.
"You can think of it this way, this is my ship and I am the captain."
Gene asked, looking around.
"Then what exactly is going on here?"
John showed his blackened and incomplete teeth and smiled.
"Because a certain guy cut off an Ouroboros tunnel, I had to stop. I came to this past space coordinate, which has not been marked by the Devourer."
After John finished speaking, Deguna immediately took action. A large number of purple particles passed through John's body, trying to restrain him. However, the particles passed through John's body, and he seemed to not exist.
"Deguna is useless, your power cannot affect me, because my power is higher than yours, or the dimension is different."
Jean's face was solemn, and Deguna asked.
"Can you tell us what will happen in the future?"
John laughed and said.
"What could happen? Since you know about the Devourer, of course you know that the purpose of its existence in this world is to eat all life and make everything fall silent."
Deguna nodded and Jean asked.
"How much longer? Our time."
John smiled and said.
"I don't know about this. What may happen in each time and space is different, but the final end point is the same. In the end, all life will be eaten by the Devourer."
Deguna curled her lips and said.
"What you said doesn't mean you didn't answer our question."
John nodded and took off his hat. His thick, knotted hair was messy, and Deguna felt nauseated.
"I carry my last life with me, traveling through different time and space, using my abilities. After all, I am the captain. I can bring my life from the end to the other shore, and from the other shore back to the end."
"Are you going to guess riddles with us?"
Deguna asked, and John smiled.
"Of course, this ship once had many helmsmen. Unfortunately, in the end, they sacrificed themselves for the last meaning of life, disappeared into the body of Devourer, and became a part of Devourer.
"
Gene took out a cigarette and handed one over. John took it with a sad expression. He raised his hand, and a black flame emerged.
After the cigarette was lit, John sat down, and three rocks appeared. John sat down and exhaled the smoke happily, and Gene lit one.
"I can have a nice chat with you."
"What was that just now?"
Deguna asked. She already felt that the flames that appeared just now contained powerful energy, and Jean also felt this.
"This is my power. I call it the ember of life. It's a good name."
Gene asked.
"Why are these creature-like monsters in such a state?"
John scratched his head and a lot of dirt fell from his body. Deguna looked at it with disgust.
"First of all, what I want to tell you is that all these problems stem from Devourer. We have not found a way to defeat Devourer."
Jean's face was solemn.
"Why?"
John laughed.
"The Devourer is too powerful. After the death of the last Breeder, we no longer have the means to suppress it. We can only run and keep escaping from the death created by the Devourer again and again."
John showed a sad expression.
"Now I'm alone. I don't know where to escape. This ship is becoming more and more unstable."
"What's the meaning?"
Deguna asked.
"To put it simply, at the moment when these lives are about to disappear, I use my power to turn them into this state, between life and non-life. This state is the best, but if this state is lifted
, these beings will die immediately.”
Gene handed John another cigarette.
"Do you know Tasia? She can't get out of here right now."
John nodded.
"Of course I do. She is an exception, right? Standing on the boundary between life and death, it's not that she can't get out, but that she can't go back to the past. She was the one who cut off the Ouroboros Tunnel. I don't know about her and Jean.
What happened in between."
Gene pointed at himself and then asked.
"What will my future be like?"
John shook his head.
"I think it's best that you don't know."
Deguna asked.
"Hurry up and tell us everything so we can be prepared?"
John lit the cigarette again with the same flame and took a strong puff. The cigarette butt burned rapidly, but the ashes disappeared after they appeared.
"You were the first to fall to the Devourer, Jean!"
Jean stood up in shock, and Deguna also looked very surprised.
"Probably things must be reversed at the extreme. If I know everything about you, I will know that you are carrying a heavy hope. You have tried to save others countless times, but in the end you have witnessed failure time and time again. You can only look at human society again and again.
Collapse. So I think you must have been deeply disappointed with human society for a long time."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Deguna sighed.
"Sure enough, I guessed it right."
Deguna sensed Jean's unstable emotions early on. In order to keep human society going, he put in a lot of effort and continuously trained some talents. However, in the end, the society still did not change.
"You said your power is higher than ours, what's going on?"
John said.
"To put it simply, there are nine levels of life. You are now at the eighth level. The level of gods has completely broken away from the category of human beings. It has huge and almost endless energy. Even in the universe, you can be safe and sound."
John said, stood up, put out the cigarette butts, took the cigarettes from Gene's hand, took out three cigarettes, lit them and put them in his mouth.
