"I disagree!"
Originally, Denton thought it was strange to abandon his body and use the Eye Soul to live. What's more, if he wanted to maintain the Eye Soul system, he had to rely on the power of the Great Eye...
How can you do this?
"Stop it! A system that must rely on the power of the Great Eye to survive cannot be said to be successful at all!"
Denton also respected the Great Eye and regarded the Great Eye who saved them as their benefactor.
But he would not regard the Great Eye as the god who protects them.
The Great Eye's previous attitude when he prayed for the cure of the Red Death in Adnis said it all.
"The Great Eye will leave one day. If you keep relying on the Great Eye, what will happen then?"
It's simple. When the time comes, no matter how beautiful the future created by Edith's Eye Soul System is, it will eventually turn into a veritable hell!
Because they didn't solve the problem of the Red Death at all, they just postponed it.
Therefore, this matter would be meaningless if it were not solved by their own human strength!
Denton persuaded Adnis.
"This is something that we should solve ourselves. We cannot pin the future of the beholder world on an unknown force."
Denton believed in human possibility.
That's why he is obsessed with experiments in physical enhancement and transformation.
Adnis, however, disagrees.
He believed that the Great Eye was the benefactor who helped them build this world and would always be by their side.
Moreover, in addition to relying on the power of the Great Eye, Edith's Eye Soul System really fits his definition of the ideal world.
There is no need to fear the red death disease, no need to be threatened by death, and the ideal world where people can live happily forever is right in front of them. Adnis really can't give up because of Denton's idea that he thinks is just unfounded.
Adnis severely reprimanded Denton and ordered Denton to never continue his experiments in body enhancement and transformation that would involve sacrificing people.
"You are wrong..."
Denton murmured in a low voice and left in despair.
Adnis looked at Denton sadly.
"Why can't you understand me? My friend..."
…
The Eye Soul System was finally implemented.
Because of Adnis' decision.
Also because the Great Eye agreed to help Adnis.
The residents of the beholder world have become eye spirits.
Denton is no exception.
However, this is just Denton's expedient measure.
Because Denton does not intend to stop the experiment of physical enhancement and transformation.
Even if the Eye Soul System has started running.
Even though Adnis had ordered him without reservation.
Denton shared his idea with his assistant.
"Goyo, the eye soul system that relies on the power of the Great Eye will collapse one day. That is definitely not the future of the beholder world. So, as before, continue to help me complete the experiment!"
Udai agreed.
Humanity should rely on its own evolution to survive... Satoru agrees with Denton's philosophy.
What's more, he is confused about the future path.
Denton's invitation gave him a way forward.
Time is like the hands of a clock, drawing a circle and returning to the starting point.
In the past, he had the motivation to continue living because of Denton's invitation, and it was the same now.
The same is true for Chloe. She calls Denton her father and gets the meaning of survival from Denton.
…
The first is the preparation stage.
With the help of Goyo and Chloe, Denton secretly built a new laboratory.
Then, with Adair's help, Denton's body was transported to Denton's laboratory from the place where the bodies of all residents of the beholder world were stored.
Yes, Denton still decided to experiment on his own body.
At the same time, Denton also wants to start a new experimental project... He wants to directly create a human being who has completed the final evolution.
As you can imagine, no matter which project it is, it will consume a lot of time.
Ironically, however, the operation of the Eye Soul System gave Denton ample time to experiment.
…
Denton's experiments began again.
The first is the physical enhancement and transformation experiment.
Although there is previous research experience, it is not enough to eliminate the danger of the experiment.
For Denton, it was countless experiments to bring his body, which had already stepped into the realm of death, back to the world of the living.
But these failures are not meaningless.
In the repeated struggles with death, Denton's body "evolved".
A powerful body and miraculous abilities, extremely strong tolerance to external factors, and cells that are extracted alone will not age or die.
There is no doubt that Denton achieved the final evolution he expected and gained immortality.
However, this success is the accidental product of countless failures, which is incomprehensible and cannot be reproduced.
After finally obtaining immortality, it would be meaningless if it could not be used by the people, and Adnis would not stop the Eye Soul System because of this...
With this in mind, Denton began to study how to popularize his physical results.
At the same time, Denton's experiment to create the ultimate life form is also in progress.
That is not a baby that grows from an embryo, but a child that already has a certain human shape from the beginning.
…
In the process of creating the ultimate life form, Denton encountered greater difficulties and blows than the enhanced transformation experiment.
Those children who were alive one second, all collapsed and died the next second.
"Why? Why can't it succeed?"
Denton watched this scene with great pain.
Gokuyo comforts Denton.
“Summarize the reasons for failure, then reset and start again.”
"Yes, but before that, they must be buried properly."
Goyo didn't quite understand Denton's approach.
"Just discard them. These are not people yet, they are just failures."
"Even so, it's a valuable sacrifice."
Denton vowed that he would never let these sacrifices be in vain.
However, in the end, what Denton ushered in was countless disappointments in expectations.
Most of the children died while growing up.
The few children who were about to take shape brought Denton even greater pain.
once,
A child smiled beautifully at Denton with joy at his new life.
But in the next second, the smile became tattered, and the entire face lost its shape.
"sorry Sorry sorry……!"
Denton, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, couldn't help crying.
He wanted to end the experiment.
He didn't want those children to continue to suffer like this.
Goyo encouraged Denton.
"We're still close, we can't give up, otherwise, the sacrifices made by those children will be in vain."
Just like he did when Denton's experiment in physical enhancement failed.
However, after that, how many times did expectations fail and how many children died?
There are too many to count.
And this repetition has continued for hundreds of years.
Anguish, anxiety, pain, sadness...all kinds of negative emotions eroded Denton's heart. I don't know when, but Denton began to point the finger of pain at Adnis and Edie, who refused to admit his experiment. Sri Lanka.
Then Denton's goals began to go awry.
"I must prove to them that my idea is correct! If you use my cells, you will be able to create a perfect ultimate life form!"
Denton added his own cells to the children's initial setup and continued the experiment.
He began to pour more affection into the children, not just boys, but also began to raise girls, and named them one Leon and one Mion.
"Look, daddy is here to see you."
Denton considered them his sons and daughters.
"By the way, daddy will sing you a lullaby."
Denton sang his usual tune.
"The egg made with a smile is still one step away. With tears and anger, the egg will be broken immediately, injected with blood, and spent your life in exchange for it..."
…
Instead of creating life, which had always failed, Denton's experiments in figuring out how to apply his physical properties to other people were successful.
He used his own blood and cells to create an enhanced device and transformed his daughter Chloe's body, allowing her to live under this red sky with her own body.
The same goes for Satoru, who received an enhanced and transformed body.
Denton then suggested that it was time for them to find more companions.
Without Adnis' consent.
Goyo understood what Denton meant.
Does he want the reformers to protect this place?
Could it be that he has regarded Adnis as a hostile force that needs to be fought?
Does he want to start a war?
Wu Dai seemed to have already seen that tragic future.
But the question is, when did it start? Denton, who would cry and apologize because of one person's sacrifice, became like this...
And what role did he play in it?
Is this kind of life and this kind of future really what he wants?
Wudai suddenly felt confused.
