Anything That Can Be Solved with Money Isn't a Problem (First Update)

Greece, Athens, a middle school.

"Today we are going to learn the history of..."

A female teacher who looks to be in her thirties is explaining Greece history to her students.

Suddenly, the students in the classroom gasped one after another, because they saw a man outside the classroom window.

Seeing a man wasn't the main issue; the real problem was that their classroom was on the eighth floor, and the man seemed to be floating in mid-air.

"Hello, Ms. Sersi, I am Hawking from the Hero Alliance. I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

After seeing Sersi standing on the podium through the glass, Hawking immediately Apparition to be opposite her.

Sersi, an assistant among the ten Eternals, can use Cosmic Energy to transform any matter, similar to his Transfiguration Charm.

Tiamat, the Celestial Embryo, was not God Manifestation; Tiamat was simply transformed into stone using her own power.

In the movie, Sersi is a museum professor in London, England in 2024. It is currently December Android 17, 2006, eighteen years earlier.

Therefore, the address given by the Ancient One was not in London, but in Athens.

The Eternals have eternal life. If they want to live in the city without being detected by humans, they must change cities and jobs every ten years. Otherwise, if a person's appearance doesn't change after ten years, even a fool would know there's something wrong.

"I don't know you, and I have no connection with you, so it seems like there's nothing to talk about."

When Hawking appeared before her, Sersi paused for a moment, then smiled and said...

Having always lived in the city, she was naturally aware of the existence of the Hero Alliance and Super Hero, but her own identity was also very special, and she didn't want to get involved with these special humans.

All she wants now is a peaceful life.

"Miss Sersi of the Eternals, I think we should still have a talk."

"This lesson isn't finished yet. Let's talk after class. Don't disturb the children's lesson."

Upon hearing Hawking reveal her identity, Sersi knew there was no way to evade the question, so she could only nod helplessly.

However, Hawking did not want to waste time:

"I'm afraid that won't work. I have something very urgent to discuss with you, which involves the safety of the entire planet."

"Ring ring ring"

As soon as Hawking finished speaking, the school bell rang, followed by a school-wide announcement over the loudspeaker.

"Please note that due to special circumstances, the school will be closed for eight days. All teachers and students are requested to leave the school and go home immediately."

"Headmaster Latu?"

Upon hearing the loudspeaker, Sersi immediately recognized it as the school Headmaster.

Hawking smiled and said:

"Before I came here, I had the branch manager have a brief conversation with your Headmaster. We will be donating two teaching buildings to your school, so you don't need to worry about work for the next eight days."

For him now, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

"What do you want from me?"

The fact that Hawking, the strongest hero in the Hero Alliance, has taken things to this point suggests that the global crisis Hawking might not be an exaggeration.

Therefore, Sersi's expression also became serious at this moment.

"It's not convenient here, let's find another place to talk."

Hawking glanced at the students in the class who were watching the drama unfold, grabbed Sersi's arm, and Apparition directly to the rooftop before explaining the general situation.

After listening, Sersi remained silent for a long while before replying:

"So, you want our help to defend against that planet-devouring Planet Devourer, but how did you find out about us?"

"Remember the World's World's Greatest Ability User Tournament that our company hosted last time? Thor and Loki from Asgard also came to participate."

I only learned about you by chance from Thor, and then I did some research and found some Silk.

Hawking offered a casual explanation.

Sersi didn't doubt it when she heard this. They had been on Earth for seven thousand years and had naturally dealt with Asgard before.

When Asgard helped humanity fight off the Frost Giants, all ten of them participated in that battle.

"What if I don't want to help?"

"You have protected humanity for thousands of years, and we should be grateful to you."

If none of you are willing to help, that's fine too. I won't bother you anymore.

Hawking replied in a very sincere tone.

He wasn't lying. His goal wasn't really to get ten Eternals to help him fight. While their strength was decent, it was only decent.

Even if they help in the battle, they won't play a decisive role.

His goal was to let the Eternals know about this, and then notify Arishem the Judge, so that Arishem the Judge could come over—that was the real purpose.

So all he had to do was send an invitation to every Eternals.

Whether they help or not is not that important.

"Okay, I'll help you with this."

Sensing the sincerity in Hawking's tone, Sersi finally agreed.

Having lived on Earth for seven thousand years, she had long been filled with affection for this planet and its inhabitants, and it was impossible for her to simply stand by and watch it be destroyed.

"Thank you very much!"

Hawking was not surprised by Sersi's answer.

In the movie, she dared to defy the orders of the Arishem the Judge and kill the Celestial Embryo in order to protect Earth, so dealing with Planet Devourer now is also their official mission.

"First, let's go pick up my companion Water Elf Sprite, and then we'll go find our leader Ajak, so she can gather the rest of us."

After confirming her willingness to help, Sersi began to offer advice and strategies.

The Water Spirit lives with her now, so she'll definitely be willing to help. As for the others, apart from the leader Ajak, she hasn't been in contact with them for a long time, so it's uncertain whether they'll agree to help.

But as long as we can persuade Ajak, the Ajak, to gather everyone, then there won't be much of a problem.

Hawking was very supportive of Sersi's idea. He took her directly to her rented house to find the Water Spirit, and then Apparition the two of them to the horse farm where Ajak was living in seclusion.

In this horse farm, they also met Ikaris, the strongest hexagonal warrior of the Eternals.

It possesses immense strength, can fly at high speeds, and can shoot Cosmic Energy beams from its eyes. Its abilities are similar to Superman's, but it is far, far weaker than Superman.

He would bleed and be injured after being hit in the body by a Deviants, and his defense level was not on the same level as Superman's.

Five hundred years ago, after learning the truth about the mission from Ajak, he had no choice but to secretly hide with Ajak because he did not want to deceive his lover Sersi, but he also had to complete the mission given to him by the Celestials.
