Chapter 605
PS: The picture is of Ajak.
The next day.
Sumerians settlement.
The sky was a clear, deep blue, without a single speck of dust, as if all impurities had been filtered out, shining brilliantly.
Sersi used his abilities to help people irrigate their fields, and the miraculous transformation of matter was hailed as a divine miracle, celebrated and sung by the people.
Phastos, King, the Water Sprite, and the Druid are wandering around, observing and figuring out how to help the people here live better and safer.
Ikaris, Thena, Gilgamesh, Makkari, and Wanda split up and competed fiercely to eliminate the nearby anomalies.
On the invisible Tomo, Su Quan looked at Ajak, who was putting on his uniform, with an ambiguous gaze.
To be honest, he originally thought that the person who would help him achieve the 'Grass Machine Hero' achievement would be Sersi or Thena, or even Makkari, but he didn't expect that Ajak would beat him to it first.
Well, Ajak really hid it too well. Others can hide their flaws with fair skin, but she has everything. Even Su Quan, who has seen and tasted her, can't help but say to her: You are my Klein Blue.
Klein Blue is a color named after the French artist Yves Klein, who believed that only the purest colors could evoke the strongest Mind Stone responses.
Moreover, blue itself symbolizes the sky and the sea, symbolizing boundlessness. Klein Blue is so pure that it is difficult to find a color that matches it, thus giving it an extra impact!
Noticing Su Quan's strange look, Ajak asked, puzzled, "Yes, is there anything I can do for you?"
Su Quan shook his head. He was somewhat impressed that Arishem was able to use the World Forge to create the Eternals, who were no different from humans.
Strictly speaking, the Eternals are actually robots, cyborgs, or androids. Their bodies are essentially a special kind of mechanical metal, but after being modified by Cosmic Energy and the World Forge, they have become no different from humans.
They can eat, drink, and relieve themselves just like everyone else; they need to sleep and rest just like everyone else; if they get injured, they will bleed and their flesh will be exposed...
It is only at the moment of death that the difference between humans is revealed.
Too...
In a sense, the Eternals are also intelligent life forms. Life itself is diverse; otherwise, the Eternals would not have been able to leave descendants on Titan — the Titanians.
Thanos Cosmic Tyrant of the Titanians, would never have been born!
Su Quan felt that the Eternals and Cybertronian were very similar. Cybertronian, also known as Transformers, are generally perceived as robots, but in reality, they are silicon-based life forms in metallic form.
Eternals and Aberrants are also forms of silicon-based life!
Su Quan suddenly became curious about the form and nature of the Eternals. If he figured out the structural principles, could he create a new Eternals or a new silicon-based life form?
Thinking further, What If...? a human or non-human is about to die, and someone creates a metal body based on the structure of silicon-based life, and then transfers their soul, consciousness, or some form of core into the metal body, could they transform the person from a carbon-based life form into a silicon-based life form?
Then, by using Cosmic Energy and matter transformation, silicon-based life can be transformed back into carbon-based life, and this cycle can continue. Doesn't that mean—immortality?!
In the movie, Sersi connects with the power of the sleeping god and uses the remaining power to turn the water spirit into a human, fulfilling the water spirit's wish to never grow up.
Sersi can only transform the life forms of water spirits, but cannot create true carbon-based or silicon-based life forms.
Su Quan is different; transferring a soul, consciousness, or the core of a certain form is not difficult for him.
He also has the ability to transform matter.
Not to mention the Cosmic Energy that drives the transformation of matter.
To put it simply, once he figured out the Eternals' construction principles, he could turn any human or non-human into a robot, and then turn the robot back into a human!
For example, Green Goblin in the Amazing Spider-Man universe has a hereditary disease that means he doesn't have long to live. He can create a metal body and then transfer his soul and consciousness into it, making him a silicon-based life form.
Then, through material transformation, his metallic body can be transformed into a flesh-and-blood body, and his life form can be transformed into a carbon-based life form, so that he can live healthily in a human body.
Well, from a genetic and DNA perspective, the reborn Green Goblin might not be the son of the Green Goblin.
However, this issue depends on the perspective from which it is debated. From the perspective of the soul and consciousness, he is still himself, still the son of the Green Goblin. But from the perspective of physical bloodline and genes, it is hard to say.
This thing is like possession or soul transfer; he is still himself, yet he is not himself...
Quite philosophical!
"Bang!"
Thena raised a shield made of golden light to block the aberrant's fierce impact, and then a spear that appeared in her other hand stabbed fiercely into the aberrant's eye.
"Um?"
Thena raised an eyebrow in surprise; the spear had missed its mark.
No, it wasn't pierced through.
Instead, someone grabbed him and stopped him.
Thena stared blankly at Su Quan, who had suddenly appeared between her and the abnormal, and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"I have other uses for this aberrant creature..." Su Quan released the spear, turned around, and sent the aberrant creature into his Pocket Space.
Thena glanced at the vanished anomaly, then at Su Quan's unharmed hand, and said in a deep voice, "Fine, but you have to fight me."
In terms of ability, Thena is not the strongest in the Eternals squad; the strongest is currently Ikaris. However, as the squad's female war goddess, Thena is extremely skilled in combat, and can manifest all eighteen weapons at will in battle, giving her immense fighting power and lethality.
Needless to say, her looks are stunning, and she also has a strong, straightforward personality with clear likes and dislikes.
It can be said that she has both strength and looks. If it weren't for her Eternal Madness, which often makes her perform poorly in battle, her performance and appeal in the movie would be absolutely top-notch!
"Are you sure?" Su Quan asked.
Thena nodded firmly. "I'm sure!"
Su Quan smiled and asked curiously, "You know you're no match for me, right? This kind of fight is meaningless."
Thena shook her head, manifested her weapon as dual short blades, and said seriously, "It makes sense!"
The greatest significance of this battle is to let her know whether she or they have any chance of defeating Su Quan!
Ajak's decision to yield might have been to ensure the mission's success, or it might have been to avoid any casualties within the team. As a member of the team, Thena did not oppose Ajak's decision, but her pride prevented her from giving in without even trying.
She can't do it!
Perhaps this battle won't change anything, but she has to try!
PS: The picture shows Thena.
Thena narrowed her eyes slightly, her cold gaze radiating a focused, eerie light.
Suddenly.
She moved!
Like a fierce tiger, like a swift rabbit.
In the blink of an eye, the cold blade light, like a crescent moon, rushed towards them.
"Whoosh—"
He slashed, but missed.
Thena had expected this. Although she had never fought Su Quan before, Su Quan to overwhelm everyone, especially Makkari who was known for his speed, was enough to prove that he was not someone she could easily defeat.
When her first attack missed, Thena remained calm and composed, her twin blades striking like a whirlwind and a sudden downpour, relentlessly and impenetrably.
As the attacks intensified, the weapons also began to change and be adjusted. Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks—all eighteen kinds of weapons were readily available, moving at will.
Amidst the relentless and continuous attacks, Su Quan was like a leaf in a storm, swaying in the wind, or a small boat adrift on the waves.
Every time it seems dangerous, it's always just a hair's breadth away from danger.
Even with Thena's seasoned composure, she couldn't help but get a little anxious after such a long and fruitless attack, not even managing to touch the hem of her opponent's clothes.
"Bang!"
A fist seemed to transcend space and the underworld, striking Thena's face heavily. The intense pain caused her to momentarily lose her senses, and she staggered backward.
Thena's flaxen hair danced in the wind. She rubbed her cheeks, a fierce glint in her eyes, and charged forward again.
"Bang!"
Another punch.
Thena staggered backward, and once she regained her footing, she shook her head, her eyes showing a mixture of fear, anger, embarrassment, and admiration.
That's too fast.
She didn't even see when Su Quan made his move.
"Shall we continue?" Su Quan asked with a smile.
"Beat!"
Thena swung her arm back, and her weapon transformed into a long spear. She then strode forward, leaped high into the air, and swung the spear down powerfully at Su Quan.
His skills were useless against Su Quan's overwhelming speed. Since skills were useless, he would fight with brute force!
This was her final blow!
Seemingly understanding Thena's intentions, Su Quan abandoned his speed advantage, neither dodging nor blocking, nor using any defensive measures.
If a horse is too wild, you must demonstrate your strength to tame it. Only when you are strong enough to make the wild horse despair will it obediently bow its head and submit to being ridden...
