Chapter 213 Tiamat
"Great Alitham, I need your guidance!" In the magnificent space of consciousness, Ajak said to Alitham in front of him with a heavy face, "Zhuke and Golden Hook are missing, we can't find them, I don't even know who did it!"
After discovering that Zhu Ke was missing, Ajak, who felt that something was wrong, reconvened all the Eternals.
After summoning the rest of the people, they discovered that not only Zhu Ke was missing, but also the golden hook was missing.
For this reason, Ikaris and Makari once again conducted a big search around the world.
Especially Macari, he also conducted a detailed screening of some people who had been stolen by him, including Josie.
But after Zhu Ke was sent, Zhu Ke's body and the golden hook had already been put into the system warehouse by him, and all his hands and tails had been cleaned up.
So Macari couldn't find any clues from Josie, and she was not a very patient person, and there were quite a lot of mortals who had been stolen or robbed by her, so she didn't even think about spying on them. human behavior.
Therefore, the two searched the earth, but found no useful clues, and could not find any trace of the missing two.
Faced with this result, Ajak, as the leader, had to seek his immediate superior, the creator of their eternal race—the **** Alitham.
"This shouldn't have happened. The abilities of the ten of you are very balanced, and the power gathered together is extraordinary. In the past millions of years, there are only a handful of Eternals who died because of missions!" After listening to what Ajak said, he spoke.
Although Alitham's words were the same as the countless exchanges in the past, without the slightest emotion.
But Ajak can still feel the other party's dissatisfaction with her.
"I'm sorry, great Alitham, this is my fault... I separated everyone and lived in seclusion among mortals." Ajak could only grit his teeth and resist the responsibility himself.
Otherwise, what can she do? Telling Alitham Shengna that she has the Eternal Demon, but he didn't cleanse her memory?
Tell Alitham that Zhu Ke had a conflict with the team centuries ago, which led to the team's disintegration?
There is no doubt that, as the judge among the Celestials, Alitham is a representative of fairness and justice.
But it is precisely because of fairness and justice that there will be no favoritism or mercy for Shengna who has problems and Zhuke who is almost "betrayed".
In the end, the result of the two of them is likely to be completely rebuilt directly.
That's not what Ajak wants to see.
"I will not interfere with this matter, Ajak! This is what you should face, just like facing mutant races! As long as the divine manifestation can be successfully completed, all sacrifices are worth it...I don't want you You are bothering me because of such a trivial matter!" Alitham said without emotion.
"Yes... I understand!" Facing Arisham's merciless reprimand, Ajak took a deep breath and said.
The next moment, the space changed, and Ajak's consciousness returned to reality.
"How's the situation? What did Alitham say?" Cersei, who had been anxiously watching Ajak regain consciousness, asked impatiently.
The rest of the Eternal Race also looked at Ajak in unison.
"Alitham said, this is a challenge we must face, just like we did when we faced the mutants." Ajak glanced at everyone and said with a sigh.
Arisham's reprimand was never mentioned.
Different from other Eternals who will erase the memory of the previous mission every time they perform a mission, Ajak, as the leader, retains the memory of countless missions in the past millions of years.
So she understands very well that the Eternal Race is just a tool of the Celestial Race.
Tools do not need to have their own thoughts.
Once you have your own thoughts, they will often be destroyed.
Over the past few million years, she has seen many former companions "destroyed" for mistakes.
She doesn't want her current companions to encounter such a predicament.
Just waiting for the completion of the divine manifestation, and then the memory will be cleaned, and then you will have a new life when you do the next task, which is very good.
As for resistance?
Every time she thinks of Alitham's irresistible power, her heart is filled with a sense of powerlessness.
What's more, the gods are not one or two, but a huge group.
So she never had any thoughts of resistance—as for that child, the ignorant is nothing but fearless.
Little did he know that everything he had experienced had already been clearly arranged, and it was doomed to be futile.
Regarding these things, as well as his own emotions, Ajak firmly suppressed them in his heart, so other people didn't feel that something was wrong. Hearing her answer, although the disappointment on her face was beyond words, she didn't say much in the end.
Because this result was actually within their expectations.
"I said a long time ago that we are all fighters, and we need to solve problems by ourselves. We can't bother Alitham just because we encounter a little difficulty." Ikaris said.
But it wasn't a little difficult, we lost two friends, two family members!
Hearing what Ikaris said, Makary, who had been in a low mood because of Zhuke's disappearance, rushed to Ikaris with some excitement, and kept gesticulating and saying.
Seeing this, Ikaris couldn't help but frowned.
"We know, we know! Macari, as long as we are united, we will definitely find Zhuke and the Golden Hook!" Cersei, who was on the side, immediately stepped forward to hug the agitated Macari and comforted him in a low voice. .
"Speaking of this, could it be that the mutants really did it? Maybe five centuries ago, we didn't completely wipe out all the mutants!" Not in the mood to argue with Macari, Ikaris turned his head to look Ask others.
"Impossible, I haven't relaxed my monitoring of the earth over the years, and there are no signs of mutant life at all!" Hearing what Ikaris said, Fastos, the black fat man, immediately retorted.
As the technological controller of the Eternal Race, it is his responsibility to monitor the signs of life of the mutant race on Earth.
Ikaris said that there are mutant races, which is tantamount to slapping him in the face.
But only if Josie is not there, otherwise he would definitely spit on the fat black man, dig out the mutants in the North Pole, and throw the fat black man to feed those guys.
Facing Fastos' rebuttal, Ikaris shrugged, noncommittal.
Hundreds of years ago, the Eternal Race parted ways. Except for Zhuke and others who were dissatisfied with Ajak's control over everyone, the relationship with him was not harmonious.
"Other existences are also possible. There was a Cree who came to Earth not long ago, and those Inhumans with strange abilities or invaders from other dimensions. They may pose a threat to us!" See When the atmosphere was cold, Cersei couldn't help but say.
As the tools of the gods, and have lived on the earth for more than 7,000 years, these eternal races have a lot of understanding of the earth and the various extraordinary and civilizations outside the earth.
Like Asgard.
When the frost giants invaded the earth, they fought side by side with the Asgardians led by Odin. The two sides were allies to some extent—this is how Randolph would know Ajak, and he had appeared on Ajak’s farm before. The reason why Ri shared meals with Ajak and Ikaris.
Because Josie’s Uncle Randolph was an elite berserker from Agas. He didn’t want to go back to Asgard after being sent to Earth to perform missions in the 12th century, so he stayed on Earth, so he knew him. These Eternals.
It's just because this person rarely showed his face in the original plot, and in the plot of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and because of the age, the future identity is different from the current identity, so it is difficult for Josie to go Think about that.
But don’t think that the relationship between Asgard and the entire Eternal Race is really good just because the two sides are allies and Odin and Gilgamesh have a good personal relationship.
Odin, who is old and mature, is very clear about the purpose of these eternals staying on the earth, and also knows the existence and birth method of the Celestials.
It's just Odin in the MCU, not the heavenly father who can single out the gods in the comics.
He is very clear that this kind of thing is not something that he, nor Asgard, can stop.
If you really want to forcibly interfere, it will only bring disaster to Asgard.
Although he claims to be the guardian of the Nine Realms, Odin is not that crazy to use the future of Asgard to fight against the gods for the sake of the earth.
So he can only turn a blind eye to the Eternal Race and make a good relationship with them on the surface.
And hundreds of years ago, after the rise of the ancient one and the earth no longer obeyed the actual rule of Asgard, Odin didn't care about the affairs of the earth even more.
"It is impossible for intruders from other dimensions. Although the Supreme will not deal with us, she will not let those only intruders enter this universe." Ajak shook his head and said.
The supreme being she mentioned was of course Gu Yi.
But when it comes to the ancient one, Ajak is also a bit strange. She has infinite life and is also one of the witnesses of the rise of the ancient one.
So she knows the strength of Ancient One very well.
Although Ancient One can be said to be very young compared to the Eternal Clan, in terms of strength, perhaps all the Eternal Clans tied together may not be enough for the Supreme to beat him up.
In Ajak's view, with Gu Yi's ability, the possibility of not knowing the gods and the appearance of gods is extremely low.
But this Supreme has never had any conflicts or intersections with them because of this matter, nor has he ever made any attempt to prevent God from appearing.
This confused Ajak.
It's just that this one never troubled them, and Ajak naturally couldn't rush to have too much contact with the other party.
But she believed that the intruders from the outer dimension would never be able to bypass the monitoring of this powerful existence.
So extra-dimensional invasion, this option can be ruled out immediately.
"That's the Inhumans and the Kree?" Ikaris answered.
The Kree is also unlikely, she had left Earth months before this happened, and Dracula was with her!
Makali shook his head, then gestured and said.
Why in Java, she suddenly appeared a few minutes after Josie took out the broken steel sword, and snatched the sword?
It is because she has been eyeing this sword for a long time.
It's just that the sword was in the hands of Dracula. Macari is still very afraid of this powerful vampire.
So she just asked Fastos to make a positioning device early and put it on the sword, just waiting for something to happen to the ancestor of the vampire, she can take the sword away as soon as possible.
It’s just that when Dracula gave Josie the sword at the beginning, he hadn’t left the earth yet, and after Josie got the sword, he put it in the system space and basically never took it out, so Makari didn’t dare to make any moves.
After Dracula left, she couldn't find the whereabouts of the Broken Steel Sword.
It wasn't until Josie took out the sword in Java that she discovered the trace of the sword. She arrived a few minutes later and took the sword away.
And she took the sword and left, so she didn't hear what Josie said to Vito and the others later, otherwise, she would have taken Josie as the first object of suspicion.
But now, Makali couldn't think of this at all, because in her eyes, Josie and the others were just ordinary mortals, and it was impossible to pose a threat to Zhu Ke and Golden Hook.
……………
While the Eternals were discussing who had snatched Zhu Ke and Golden Hook silently, on the Indian Ocean at the other end of the earth, it was late at night, and Josie was sleeping soundly.
During the period when the Eternals were targeted, Josie actually didn't sleep well.
After all, targeting this special group, any mistakes would be very dangerous.
So for this matter, it can be said that he has made a lot of special preparations—for example, the submarine for transportation is loaded with a large number of high-yield nuclear bombs for destroying corpses. Once those dozens of nuclear bombs explode, the entire Amazon Basin may be almost It may not be recovered in ten years.
Fortunately, because of practicing the Five Elements Alchemy and citing the Fountain of Youth for a long time, less sleep will not make him feel tired.
But being able to sleep comfortably is certainly not a bad thing.
Only this night, after Josie fell asleep, something unexpected happened.
A golden figure appeared in his consciousness.
"Who are you?" In the conscious world, Josie asked with a deep frown as he looked at this inexplicably familiar figure shrouded in golden light.
By the way, he seemed to have seen this figure before when he was almost controlled by Zhu Ke.
But he forgot about it after waking up, and only recalled it after seeing it again.
"I am Tiamat, child, I need your help!" The figure in the golden light said in a very kind tone.
