American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

"It's near an unnamed island. There's nothing on the island except an active volcano." Ajak answered honestly.

Dane nodded secretly. It was similar to what he saw in the movie. It seemed that the other party was not lying.

"You should know the longitude and latitude coordinates of that island, right?"

"know."

"tell me."

"Yes, yes..." Ajax said a string of numbers without hesitation.

These coordinates sound like they are in Indonesian waters.

There were no noteworthy powerful nations around that place, so Dane planned to station his troops there directly.

As long as you don't make too much noise, no one will notice.

So he turned to arrange another matter: "Find a chance to explain to Alisem that the Earthlings and the Chirita have fought a great battle, resulting in countless casualties, and that Tiamut's divine revelation will need to be delayed for a while."

"I see."

After testing the effectiveness of the Mind Scepter, Dane released Ajak.

Take her to study her core.

As the only chosen Eternal whose memory was not erased, it is unknown how long Ajak has survived.

She should know about the backdoor that Alisem left for the Eternals. After all, judging from the movie, Alisem trusts her quite a bit and doesn't think she would defect...

This is indeed the case. Ajax told Dane that the most important thing for the Eternals is not the body, but the backup of their memory and personality.

Every time a god appears, their bodies will be destroyed with the birth of a new god.

After that, Arism will re-inject their memories and personalities into new bodies.

In fact, Dane didn't quite understand why Alisem had to use the old personality template?

Can't we just let the new synths complete the task?

“Because they are difficult to do,” Ajak replied.

Even the gods have things they cannot do. It is easy to create life, but it is very difficult to create a soul.

According to Ajak, normal synthetic humans are actually the same as general artificial intelligence and are not real life.

No matter how much they behave like humans, they are ultimately just simulations, and at best are just moving shells.

The soul is a miracle that is extremely difficult to replicate, and it is a product that even the gods cannot create out of thin air.

Otherwise, the God Group would not have to sow the God seeds on the life planet. It would be better to just build a farm and then keep creating humans.

Precisely because they cannot do so, the Celestial Gods choose to use such a complicated and time-consuming method to cultivate new gods.

It is extremely difficult, or even impossible, for a non-natural creature to give birth to a soul.

Therefore, the Celestials could only spread the DNA genetic material of some intelligent life on the planet and let natural selection determine their future.

The ten Eternals on Earth were the product of chance, their souls born by chance.

It is a miracle that cannot be replicated.

This also answered Dane's long-standing question.

That is, the Celestials can create stars and planets at will, sow life, and even create the Eternals, a race with unique super powers.

But Makari, one of the ten Eternals on Earth, is inexplicably deaf and mute.

Isn't it ridiculous that the Celestial Gods can accomplish something as big as creating galaxies, but they can't solve the problem of disability?

Even if the Celestials really cannot solve the disability problem, the bodies of the Eternals will be replaced after each appearance of a god.

Therefore, even if he unfortunately became disabled in battle, he should be healthy after getting a new body.

Ajak answered this question because Macari's disability was not physical, but a damage to his soul.

Her soul was already partially damaged, so it couldn't be fixed physically.

Chapter 880 Self-Transformation - Overdrive

After knowing the specific location where the god Tiamut appeared, Dane quickly gave orders for people from Umbrella and Atlas to go and occupy the land.

Go there to set up an outpost in the name of exploring marine life species and protecting the environment.

At this time, it is still unknown which country the nameless island belongs to. If it is an unowned land, then Umbrella will occupy it directly.

Even if it has an owner, Umbrella can buy it with its financial power.

But this process will not take too long. It is still several years away from the discovery of the god, and the depth of Tiamut can only be known through drilling exploration.

Therefore, with the help of Ajax, Dane first checked the genes of the Eternals, and finally confirmed that the Celestials did not set up any backdoors in them.

"Does he trust you so much?"

"That's not surprising," Ajak replied, "because we are so insignificant to them. Would you make so many arrangements for an ant you could easily crush to death?"

Not always.

Dane thought to himself that no matter what time, it is still necessary to be cautious.

"If that's the case, then why did Alisem plot against you to deal with the mutants?"

"He can actually do it himself, can't he?"

If Alisem wants to kill the mutants, he doesn't even need to snap his fingers, just blow his breath.

"The mutants are different. They are the original creations. When creating these creatures, Arsham wanted to try his best to make them closer to nature."

Ajak said solemnly, "So he gave them something very important: the infinite possibility of evolution."

"Naturally evolving organisms can potentially evolve into intelligent life forms under various coincidences, and mutants also have this characteristic."

"At first, they were just simple beasts, following the instincts written into their genes by Alisem, and only hunted predators that posed a threat to intelligent life."

"But over time, they began to co-evolve with other organisms. And because Alisem initially let them go, they evolved thousands of times faster than normal native organisms!"

Dane raised his eyebrows. No wonder the mutants rebelled, turning from guardians of intelligent life into predators.

When one species evolves tens of millions of times faster than other species, then this dominant species should naturally gain dominance on the planet.

That's how human beings are.

Perhaps those intelligent species that were originally protected by the mutants were surpassed in intelligence by the mutants before they were civilized.

Then the mutants whose wildness has not yet faded will certainly not be willing to act as a guardian. How can a low-level species be qualified to be protected by them?

If two completely different intelligent species appear on the same planet, the chance of them being able to live in harmony is zero.

Even human beings of the same origin will fight against each other because of differences in skin color, beliefs, culture, and interests.

Species of different origins are in a life-and-death competition with each other. Dane was not surprised that mutants would disobey orders and become predators.

"So after this failure, Alisem chose to create you."

"That's right." Ajax nodded.

You must know that before the birth of the Eternals, the Celestials had been using mutants as a tool.

So wherever Alisem planted the seeds of the gods, he also sowed the mutants.

Not only on Earth, but throughout the universe, mutants are spreading like a virus, seriously hindering the survival of some intelligent races.

It's like the crops in the field are infested with bugs. It's impossible for Alisem to go to the field and catch the bugs himself, right?

So of course it is most convenient to directly make "insecticide". The Eternals are the insecticide he made.

Of course, not only that, Arsem is also very interested in the transformation process of mutants, which is also one of his research topics.

"I have been following Alisem for a long time and even participated in his research on genetics."

Ajak continued.

The Eternals were not so powerful at the beginning. As far as Ajak knew, the original version of the Eternals was actually only slightly stronger than the Kree.

At that time, the Eternals still needed more advanced weapons and equipment to eliminate the mutants.

But weapons do have durability.

The Eternals usually stay on a planet for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

No matter how well it is maintained, even the strongest weapons will age and become ineffective if they are used frequently.

At the same time, their mortal enemy, the mutants, are still evolving crazily.

However, the Eternals were locked in their evolutionary path by Alisem. They had no ability to reproduce, so it was impossible for them to continue to improve. However, the mutants could continue to improve from generation to generation.

If this continues, the situation will evolve into the mutants hunting down the Eternals.

The Eternals also have a ban: they can help local intelligent races reproduce, but they cannot directly interfere with their evolutionary process.

When using weapons in combat, no one can guarantee that the equipment will not be lost during the battle.

Once the local indigenous people pick up something that shouldn't be there, it will inevitably greatly affect the direction of their historical evolution, which is also a factor that must be considered.

Therefore, Arsham hopes to create a species that can arm itself with its own abilities without relying on external forces.

This is where the Eternals come from now.

Of course, this entire process didn't happen overnight. There were countless versions of the Eternals before they evolved into what they are today, and not every version was humanoid.

In order to integrate into the local environment, the Eternals usually adjust themselves according to the appearance of local intelligent life.

On Earth, the Eternals look like Earthlings, but in Jotunheim, they should look like Frost Giants.

Fortunately, in the entire Marvel Universe, humanoid races always account for the majority, so the basic template of the Eternals basically does not need to be changed.

"The Eternals' superpowers are based on which gene expression?"

Upon hearing this, Ajak immediately pointed out a fragment of his own genes to Dane.

On the double helix structure, the pointed segments glow golden.

"This section is the source of my healing ability." Then she turned her finger to the other side and said, "This section is the genome segment that absorbs the free cosmic energy from the outside world."

"The ten of us have superpower genes that are expressed in different base sequence groups, but the gene expression group for absorbing cosmic energy is the same."

Dane looked carefully for a while and found that these genes were all base pairs located in redundant gene fragments.

At the same gene sites in humans, these are considered to be parts that do not participate in the expression of traits.

This also confirmed his guess that when Arsem was transforming this group of Eternals, he was indeed referring to the human genome.

This means that humans can also obtain the same physiological modifications through genetic engineering.

After realizing this, Dane began to experiment on his own body.

He was so familiar with his genetic information that he started by modifying the corresponding fragments of his own genes from his internal organs.

After a while, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Normal genetic engineering requires a long time for the body to adapt to genetic changes, during which time various complex surgeries, tissue cultures and implants are required.

But Dane, through control over his own body, sped up the process, aiming to complete it in just a few minutes.

This bold behavior unsurprisingly caused the body's instinctive backlash, but it didn't take long for the powerful self-healing ability to eliminate this backlash.

At the same time, a small piece of tissue in his body has undergone corresponding genetic modification.

With Dane's deliberate support, it began to change its characteristics rapidly.

A large number of corresponding amino acids and large molecular proteins, plums, glands, and mitochondria grew wildly in his body. Just a change that was less than the size of a fingernail almost drained away half of his body's bioenergy.

But the result was also gratifying. Soon, he felt an energy different from the Ten Rings slowly growing in his body.

It felt like gaining Qi during spiritual practice. That somewhat cold energy began to grow in his body and slowly spread from the transformed part to his entire body.

He can now draw cosmic energy from the void like the Eternals.

Chapter 881 Exposed

The positive effect of this cosmic energy on the body is more obvious than the energy of the bracelet.

It cannot be said that the Ten Rings are ineffective in strengthening the body, but the progress is undoubtedly extremely slow.

Especially after reaching a certain critical point, this energy no longer has the effect of strengthening his body except making it easier for him to control the ten rings.
