Chapter 603
Although it may sound absurd, he was the one who drove almost all of humanity's development and technological progress.
There's a saying that goes, "Geniuses are all madmen."
This chubby little black guy, while not exactly insane, isn't exactly mentally stable either. Being male and having a preference for men is one thing, but despite being a detached, behind-the-scenes manipulator, he kneels in repentance because his country, where he was living a comfortable life, was bombed by a little boy...
Please, are you alright?!
Thena, like Queen, supported Gilgamesh's hand and joined King and Makkari, then came before Su Quan, seemingly preparing to negotiate.
Normally, the person responsible for negotiations would be either Sersi or Ikaris, but Ikaris had not returned from the battle, and Sersi and the other Eternals were still on the Tomo starship.
Of the four people currently present, Makkari is deaf and mute, Thena is a fighter, Gilgamesh, besides fighting, only knows how to follow Thena.
Only King, who later became a Bollywood star, was suitable to step forward and negotiate.
King knew this too, so he spoke first and revealed their identities and purpose.
"We are the Eternals from Olympia, ordered to eliminate all aberrant beings on this planet. After completing our mission, we will return home in glory."
"Bang!"
Wanda descended from the sky, landing between Su Quan and the Eternals in a superhero-like landing pose.
The Eternals looked wary. Wanda glanced at them, pointed to the enormous spaceship that was gradually appearing in the sky, and questioned them with dissatisfaction, "This uniquely shaped spaceship is yours, isn't it? It's because of it that my opponent escaped!"
The Eternals' Tomo starship has a truly unique design.
Viewed from above, the spaceship resembles a slab with sharp edges, while viewed from the front, it is a long, narrow triangle.
The spaceship's hull was engraved with incomprehensible patterns, within which golden light shone.
The Tomo starship had been hidden to the side. During the battle, Wanda and the Aberrant accidentally bumped into the Tomo, which then came into view. The Aberrant took the opportunity to fly away and escape.
"Master, I have no opponent." Wanda turned around and pouted at Su Quan with a pitiful expression.
Su Quan smiled and comforted him, "So what if he ran away? One abnormal one has escaped, but there are still so many Eternals. That should be enough for you to play around with."
As they spoke, several figures slowly descended from the Tomo starship, their feet resting on golden discs. Upon landing, these golden discs spun and flew toward a chubby little man, where they shrank in his hand and were put away.
The people who fell were—
Phastos, the chubby little black boy; the water sprite who always looks like a child; the Druid who looks like a young man; Sersi, who looks like Minerva, the villain from Captain Marvel Minerva; and Ajak, the mature-looking and sophisticated leader of the Eternals squad.
They had obviously overheard Wanda and Su Quan's unfriendly conversation. Before the team leader Ajak could speak, the rebellious young Druid arrogantly lit up his golden eyes and activated his ability.
"Buzz!"
A silent, invisible Psychic Power instantly surged towards Wanda and Su Quan.
The Druid's power is mind control, and they are the only members of the Eternals who advocate using their abilities to bring peace to humanity.
However, his actions violated the instructions given by the gods and were opposed by Ajak.
This also became the trigger for the team's disbandment.
After the team disbanded, he controlled some humans to live in seclusion in the mountains, where they lived a life of absolute peace and decisive action.
He thought this was peace, but in reality it was tyranny!
A person who manipulates minds and forces everyone to obey orders, even if his intention is for peace, reveals a superior and authoritarian mindset in his behavior of forcing a cow to drink water.
Golden light flashed in the Druid's eyes, and his Psychic Power struck Su Quan and Wanda directly, but Su Quan and Wanda were not controlled as he had expected.
Instead, one was indifferent, and the other sneered, blasting his Psychic Power back one after the other.
"Ah..."
The Druid screamed in agony as the sudden, intense Mind Stone pain caused him to fall to his knees, pressing his hands against his head and contorting his face in agony.
"Druid!"
No one expected that the Druid, who took the initiative, would stumble on his own strength. Ajak and Phastos immediately helped the Druid to check the situation.
At the same time, Makkari and Thena made their moves against Su Quan and Wanda respectively.
The best way to deal with Mind Stone attacks is to prevent the attacker from launching another attack.
A ding-ding sound rang out.
When the Druid attacked Su Quan and Wanda, Su Quan gained the Druid's mind control and Wanda's Psychic Power. He then gained the Cosmic Energy dropped by Makkari and Thena, as well as Wanda's energy Absorption Ability.
Aside from their signature abilities, the most basic and fundamental ability of the Eternals is Cosmic Energy.
To put it simply, their respective abilities are merely different ways of applying and achieving the same effect as Cosmic Energy.
"Call out--"
The speedster Makkari arrived in an instant and threw a punch at Su Quan's face.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment!
"Ugh... Ugh... Ugh..." Makkari stared wide-eyed in horror, gripping Su Quan's wrist in agony, her legs twitching as if she were hanging, kicking with all her might.
She was gripped by fate...
"No!"
"That's impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Makkari wasn't arrogant, but she really couldn't believe that the other person was faster than her!
If the other party had merely kept up with her speed and clearly seen her trajectory, she wouldn't be so shocked.
After all, as long as one has extremely strong reaction speed and Dynamic Vision, or relies on other abilities, one can indeed discover oneself or keep up with oneself.
But the opponent was faster than me, so fast that I didn't even have time to react, which was a bit outrageous...
I'm a speedster! My speed can approach the speed of light. Even if it's unstable, even if there are some fluctuations, even if I didn't use my full strength just now, it's impossible for me to be easily crushed!
"You're still far behind in terms of speed..."
Su Quan released Makkari's neck, and the instant Makkari landed, a transparent Energy Field enveloped her.
Despite her frantic struggles and attacks, Makkari was eventually forced to lie flat as the force field shield shrank.
"Next."
"Who's coming?"
Su Quan calmly looked at the other Eternals.
"Bang!"
King fired an energy blast from his fingertip at Su Quan.
Su Quan remained motionless as the energy blast struck him. Then, the energy blast vanished abruptly, as if it had sunk into the sea without causing a ripple.
King was slightly taken aback; the energy blast he had fired had been absorbed by the opponent without leaving a trace.
This guy's Absorption Ability is a bit tricky...
Just as King hesitated and was about to make another move, Gilgamesh, with a fierce look on his face, stepped out.
At the same time, countless 'Gilgamesh' appeared out of thin air, each 'Gilgamesh' displaying different gestures, some clenching their fists, others clapping their hands...
At first glance, it's hard to tell if it's real or fake!
This is the water spirit's ability; she can create illusions.
"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were Loki. It's just Illusionary Double, not something anyone can do."
As soon as he finished speaking, just like Gilgamesh, countless Su Quan suddenly appeared.
Gilgamesh stunned, and so was the water spirit.
They had hoped to confuse their opponents with a dense array of illusions, but now, whether the opponents were truly confused is unknown, but they are certainly bewildered.
Confused!
Gilgamesh glanced at the water sprite with annoyance. "You, aren't you just shooting yourself in the foot?"
What do we do now? Which one should we call?
The water sprite was both amused and exasperated; she hadn't expected things to turn out this way...
It's faster than Makkari, can Absorb Energy, and can release Illusionary Double just like itself. Why does this guy have so many abilities?
Just as the water sprite was secretly complaining, a Su Quan nearby grinned wickedly, rushed over, and punched her on the head.
"Bang!"
This punch sent the water sprite sprawling to the ground, clutching her head and crying.
Achievement complete: Punch a kid!
Gilgamesh's eyes lit up. As everyone knows, Illusionary Double are fake; they can only deceive people's eyes and have no physical form, so they cannot attack others.
Gilgamesh took three steps in two and punched the guy who made the water spirit cry!
The fist whistled through the air, its force immense and heavy.
A fist the size of a sandbag pierced straight through Su Quan's face, causing Su Quan's entire body to gradually become ethereal with the ripples. Gilgamesh's fierce expression turned to astonishment, and it was too late to withdraw his force...
