Huh? Are they all real?.

Chapter 408 The Answer the Eldest Son is Seeking (4k)

"It has been four whole eras. We have waited too long for this day, mother."

Profitus Helios, one of the eldest sons, the source of the prophets.

At this moment, I am placing my palms on the glass in front of me and gazing at the infinite universe.

"You should give us an answer!"

Although there was only the empty universe before him, he knew the answer was right in front of him.

Ever since Yuanchu fell into a deep sleep, the eldest sons realized that they had no way to find their mother.

So naturally all their questions would not be answered.

But today, Profitus found a way to ask his mother directly.

The palm of my hand has left the thick space glass.

Holding the Egg of Truth, Profitus walked behind him without any hesitation.

The slightly weak feet stepped on the hard alloy ground.

Along with the crisp sound, Profitus came to the cabin where everything had been prepared.

He knew that his mother would not give any of them an answer, so if he wanted to get the answer, he would have to get it on his own!

He believed that he would never find another opportunity like this.

There's no reason to need to find a second one.

Because it's simple.

Just lean over it!

This month's journey was undoubtedly a tough punishment, and every day seemed particularly torturous.

But the last three hours went by too fast.

Profitus almost felt like he had just arrived in the cabin when he heard the AI's prompt:

"We have arrived at the designated location."

After looking up at this last shelter, he got into the work boat without any hesitation.

As the eldest son, he used his wisdom far beyond that of ordinary people and skillfully controlled the work boat, which was being used for the first time, to leave the mothership.

Fly towards the front of the mothership.

Everything I saw before me was still the same as before, dark and horrifyingly empty.

But compared to everything he had experienced, this kind of nothingness seemed particularly warm.

The numbers on the dashboard were gradually decreasing, and his eyes were switching back and forth between the numbers on the dashboard and the nothingness in front of him.

Finally, the numbers on the dashboard returned to zero.

The entire work boat crashed directly like last time.

Looking at the workboat that had come to a standstill again, Profitus was not surprised at all.

Only the boats of mortals can leave.

This was the only answer the prophecy gave him.

Although he has completely turned himself into a mortal, to be honest, he still seems to not fit the description of the prophecy as he still carries the Egg of Truth.

This seemed like a dead end for Profitus.

With the egg of truth, he will most likely still be unable to leave.

But if he didn't bring it with him, he probably wouldn't even be able to get here.

It seems that no matter what choice you make, it will only be a difficult situation.

However, Profitus found a perfect solution!

That is, he gave up on escaping and instead offered his last chance in exchange for the opportunity to ask his mother!

Rather than wanting to survive, he wanted to know why he was born.

He was afraid of his brother.

Because that was the only person he dared not look directly at.

But he was more afraid that he would still know nothing in the end.

He used to be extremely afraid that his brother would hold him accountable for his blood debt, but he suddenly found that he could still ask his mother why.

His biggest fear was not getting an answer.

The workboat had broken down, so Profitus, who had put on a helmet, opened the roof and floated out of the workboat with a tow rope tied to him.

Before today, not only the people in the Human Alliance, I'm afraid even Moon wouldn't have thought of it.

A god will appear here in this posture.

Profitus, who had completely left the work boat, relied on his jet pack to constantly adjust his direction and slowly moved forward.

Soon, he stopped as if he had touched something.

He was sure there was nothing in front of him.

But he was blocked by something.

This experience made Profitus realize that he was right!
He raised his hands and kept touching the invisible barrier in front of him.

After he was completely sure that he was not wrong, he began his own experiment.

He took off the maintenance tool kit from his waist and thrust it forward forcefully.

The invisible barrier that blocked him did not prevent the toolkit from leaving, and it still flew out as it should.

Watching the toolkit moving further and further away.

Profitus raised his hand again to feel the invisible barrier, his eyes shining slightly under his helmet.

"I was right, I was right. Mortals' things can pass!"

Now all I have to do is...
Profitus looked towards the palm of his hand.

He had already taken the Egg of Truth out of his small bag.

His mother, who was so noble that it could not be described in words, would never respond to the calls of mortals.

This was true even for her proudest eldest sons.

However, not responding doesn't mean that she won't give any answer at all.

Without any hesitation, Profitus pushed the Egg of Truth in his hand directly in front of him.

At this moment, everything he had as the eldest son was just insignificant material possessions to him.

The oval-shaped Egg of Truth in the void attracted Profitus's full attention.

Then, just like the previous toolkit, it passed through the barrier.

But the only difference was that the Egg of Truth did not fly far away, but stopped behind the barrier.

To confirm that he was not mistaken, he raised his hand again and felt the existence of the barrier.

Yes, that's right, the Egg of Truth was right in front of him, but he just couldn't grasp the power that belonged to him.

The invisible barrier perfectly separated him from the Egg of Truth.

At this moment, Profitus was stunned.

The answer he had been looking for was given to him so simply!
After a long time, Profitus, who was floating in the void, just laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Mortals can pass through, divinities can pass through, but I cannot pass through!"

"Mother, you finally answered me! Your least favorite child finally found out what you were thinking!"

Profitus laughed very loudly at this moment, very happy. The question that the eldest sons had been pursuing for countless years finally gave him the answer!

"You didn't lock up Chaofan, you locked up us!"

At first, he wondered if his mother had set up the barrier to prevent the power he had divided from gradually drifting away from her where she couldn't see it.

Therefore, He placed an invisible barrier at the edge of the solar system to block any possibility of the extraordinary leaving.

But now the Egg of Truth behind the barrier proves that this is extremely wrong.

His mother didn't care at all whether the power she gave away would leave her.

The only reason she left the barrier was to lock him up, no, to lock them up!

Detain here those rebellious sons who dared to kill the true eldest son!

"Hahahaha, mother, you really saw everything, and you really still love your real child!"

"You even know that we killed him!"

"But even though we're all like this, you still won't even come out and look at us?!"

Profitus laughed very crazily and very sadly.

Why take part in that terrible betrayal?
He thought that each eldest son who was involved had different reasons.

Some of them were probably just jealousy, some really wanted to get that overly powerful force, but most of them probably didn't know why they got involved until they died.

As for what he said, he actually had only one request.

That is your favorite child, the one you would fly into a rage at and scold for everything even if he just pricked his finger.

So, we're going to murder him, and why don't you come and see?

But what made him collapse was that something none of them had expected actually happened.

The mother never showed up.

Just as Fingolfin said.

'Don't worry about Yuanchu, he's the only one we have to worry about.'

He remembered that his brothers were ecstatic about this, but he was terrified.

If even his death can't attract his mother, doesn't that mean that his mother really doesn't care about anything?
We, the world, and even him are nothing more than toys made by our mother.

Will he only pay attention to her when she is happy?
Profitus wanted to convince himself that this was not the case, that even a mother must have something she cared about.

But looking at him lying on the long table and being eaten by his brothers.

Profitus couldn't come up with an argument that would convince himself.

Yes, mother really doesn't care about anything.

Even the world she was willing to maintain with eternal sleep would probably be completely abandoned when she found it boring.

But now it's different.

He got a completely different answer than he had at the time.

Mother knows everything and mother really cares.

So she locked them up.

Waiting for him to come back and punish their brothers who had committed such foolish acts.

The only question now is why the mother was willing to watch them kill the only child she loved.

Thinking of this, Profitus raised his head and looked behind him.

Shouting to the void that is destined to receive no response:
"Mother, answer me, answer me why you are like this? What are you thinking?"

But it was obvious that Yuanchu would not answer him.

"I don't believe you don't know I'm asking you! I don't believe you don't know I've found the answer!"

"But why, why have I done all this, and you are still unwilling to even show up and look at me?"

In order to see his mother again and ask her everything in person, when Profitus found that even killing him was impossible, he took a more extreme path - destroying the world!
Since his mother no longer cares about him, she should still care about him in this world that he maintains through sleep, right?

But unfortunately, he lost everything before he could achieve that.

That guy Fingolfin was still so unfathomable to him.

Looking at the ever-silent starry sky.

Profitus beat his chest and asked:

"My, what is the difference between us and him? Is it because he is your first child? But aren't we your children?"

"He loves you, don't we?"

"Compared to his attitude towards you, we respect you more and obey you more! So how are we inferior to him?"

"Speak, mother, answer me, answer us!"

Even though he knew his mother would not answer him, Profitus was still tortured by the endless silence and was almost on the verge of collapse.

"It was him, wasn't it? You even turned a blind eye to us killing him. It must be because he asked you to do this, right?"

"Did he tell you something, not to punish his stupid brothers?"

"Did my hateful yet respectable brother tell you this?"

The only thing Profitus regretted, and would never regret, was killing him.

Because that person was too perfect in his eyes.

It was so perfect that even his mother would subconsciously listen to him instead of following her own wishes.

"Oh, that's right, it's absolutely true, that's what he would do. Oh, brother, mother, you are going too far."

Profitus completely collapsed and hugged his head.

Time passes by little by little.

Profitus still maintained the same posture and floated in the air.

Until his space suit started to send out crazy alarms due to lack of oxygen.

The collapsed eldest son was the one who regained his soul and will.

"Well, mother, if you won't answer me, then I will ask him! No, I don't want him to answer me for you! I will kill him! Even if I am the only one left, I will kill him!"

"Once is not enough, then twice. If twice is not enough, then three times. If three times is still not enough, I will keep killing. I don't believe you will just watch me kill him!"

"I want you to tell me in person where we are lacking!"

He and his brothers thought that they came into being to manage the world that their mother loved most on her behalf, and then they would live happily together forever like a real family.

However, they soon discovered that their mother did not care about them.
She only cared about her first child.

They thought that maybe they were not working hard enough, so they worked harder to maintain the prosperity of the world.

They thought that as long as they kept working hard, their mother would eventually recognize them.

There is just a huge gap between ideal and reality.

No matter how hard they tried, they never made the slightest change in their mother's eyes.

No, there has been a change, and that is hatred!

He will always remember what they saw in their mother's eyes when they were kneeling outside the city when the Perfect City was destroyed.

From indifference to extreme hatred, to the point of wanting to destroy them all along with that ridiculous city.
But in essence, it was just a drop of blood that he didn't even care about.

Whenever he thought of what he saw that day, he felt suffocated.

Profitus struggled to stand up and stretched out his hand to the person behind him without looking back and said:
"You are mine, so you can never go against my will, so come back to me!"
