Druid’s Marvel Travels

Chapter 93 What is "eternity"

Speaking of which, Oakes has always been a gentle and harmless scientist in the eyes of the public.

Moreover, his research seems to be more biased towards botany, and so is his achievement.

But as a druid who can turn into a beast himself, Oakes obviously will not give up the research on zoology.

With a spirit strengthened by the forces of nature, his intelligence is no less than that of Tony and Banner.

So, is it reasonable not to do something when a living Eternal is under his control?

Obviously unreasonable.

Taking advantage of Zhu Ke's eyes changing from plain to horrified, Oakes knocked him out again.

Although there is no experimental equipment in the rainforest, this is not a limitation when it is not necessary to attribute the research results to scientific conclusions that can be demonstrated by others.

Therefore, when Zhu Ke woke up again after a long coma, what he saw was Oaks looking at him with strange eyes...

There is also a cat and a dog.

This is still the same chapel, but the style inside has completely changed.

The branches of many plants constitute some shelves, cabinets, tables, chairs...

There are also some strange structures that he can't understand at all.

And Zhuke himself was lying on a strange "bed", surrounded by what seemed to be many vines and branches.

That human was wearing a strange... robe? looking at himself.

The robe is very weird, it seems to be made of plant fibers and metal, and it is full of energy!

"What did you do to me... hiss!"

Zhu Ke took a breath, pressed his head——

His mental power is still in a state of confusion, because Oakes has found a way to deal with the power of the Eternals, disrupting the energy in his body with astral energy.

Standing up slowly, he paused for a few seconds, how did Zhu Ke see something wrong with this bed.

"What the hell is this thing...?"

"Experimental bench."

Oakes was satisfied to see Zhu Ke's small eyes widen suddenly, and said jokingly:

"As a scientist, of course you will use a test bench when studying samples... but you don't have one here, so I just built one.

The other plants have other uses - don't worry, you are the same as before, I didn't inject you with any strange potions, and I didn't slice you up. "

"...You mentioned the Asgardians before? Are they coming to Earth again?"

Zhuke forced his attention away from the strange plants:

"And you didn't take advantage of this time to let those people go?"

"Of course, they are used to living here, and going out rashly to enter 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 talking about today. "

Oakes shook his head, these people were at a loss at first.

After studying Zhuke's use of cosmic energy, although Oakes can't manipulate energy to gain mind control like him, these humans who have become accustomed to Zhuke's control feel very kind to him.

So Oakes can teach them some ways to survive after Zhu Ke 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 by themselves.

And... Now that Oaks has controlled this rainforest, it is still possible to provide some simple shelter for a small human village.

"As for what I did to you..."

Oakes' eyes became complicated, and Zhu Ke suddenly felt absurd——

Because he saw "mercy" in Oakes' eyes!

This human being is actually "pitying" the eternal race? !

Why should he!

"Although I have deep feelings for human beings, I have shed tears for human beings, reprimanded my compatriots, and even parted ways with them in the end..."

Zhu Ke frowned, his originally ruffian expression became solemn, and his not-so-tall body 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 point of being pitied by you!"

"...Sorry, I'm just a little..."

Oakes looked at Zhu Ke who was full of aura, and his eyes were a little dazed——

That is the heavy feeling brought by the genuine 7,000-year history.

Although Zhu Ke usually looks like a big boy next door, he is still in the rebellious stage...

But once he got serious, Oakes could realize the heaviness brought by the "eternity" of the "Eternal Race".

"Eternals..."

Oakes shook his head lightly, the pressure released by Zhu Ke who hadn't 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 froze for an instant:

"What do you mean?"

He cracked his ability? But how is this possible!

"I don't know what kind of place your so-called hometown, Olympia Star, is, but..."

Ox paused, considering his words:

"You should know that you Eternals, at least you, look no different from humans in appearance.

You can eat human food, and you will bleed when you are injured, 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 hurt. "

Zhu Ke nodded slightly, indeed.

Although the means of controlling the cosmic energy of the Eternals is very clever, but without the blessing of the cosmic energy, their bodies are not immortal.

It's just that being able to injure them and being able to kill them are two different things. A fatal injury in the eyes of humans is not a big deal even in the eyes of an eternal race like Zhu Ke who is not good at frontal combat.

"But I found that your body cells are very different from "biological" in the ordinary sense."

Oakes' words made Zhu Ke frowned:

"What's the difference?"

"In the growth and reproduction of ordinary organisms, although the power of genes is used to maintain the stability of form, 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, even Moco and Coco, who were staring at Zhuke vigilantly:

"Evolution and variation are important components for organisms to adapt to the environment, survive and develop, but in you, I don't see this 'possibility'."

In the eyes of Zhu Ke who were first puzzled, then confused, and finally surprised, Oakes emphasized again:

"Yes, your body is 'eternal', even if you live a long life, it is impossible for you to undergo any changes——

Whether it is the various diseases brought about by the mutation of environmental stimuli, or the enhancement of abilities...

There is no difference between your physical condition and ability, seven thousand years ago and now, is it? "

"……yes."

Zhu Ke was silent for a moment, and spoke with some difficulty:

"You mean my body, my ability, it's like..."

"They are all 'eternal' and do not undergo any changes over time - which is not consistent with the basic characteristics of natural life."

Oakes' cold voice made Zhu Ke's heart skip a beat:

"It's like a pre-programmed AI robot."
