Arishem
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
A group of students stared in astonishment at the golden ring of energy that had appeared on their teacher, Sersi.
Sersi understood that this was the Celestial Tiam summoning her, and only had time to speak to her students.
"Call League of Heroes."
League of Heroes, a subsidiary of the Demon Group.
The moment the words left his mouth, he soared into the sky and flew into space.
Sersi floated in the palm of the goddess Tia, which was as large as a small island. Beams of light flashed one after another, and the other members of the Eternals also arrived one after another.
Thus, compatriots who had not seen each other for hundreds of years were reunited here.
"Welcome to your birth! I am Ajak, the leader of the Eternals."
I offer you my sincerest congratulations, and I am also deeply grateful for your mercy in not destroying this beautiful planet, Celestial Tiam."
Ajak bowed respectfully, his voice filled with awe.
Seeing this, the other members of the Eternals followed suit and bowed in unison.
"You should thank the Demon King for his mercy."
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously looked up to see that Kino was standing on top of Tiamut.
"Damn it, you can't possibly be the Celestial Tiam..."
As a staunch supporter of the Celestials, Ikaris instantly flew into a rage, unleashing a burst of Cosmic Energy that transformed into a dazzling beam of light as he charged toward Kino.
"Ikaris, come back..."
Before Ajak could finish speaking, a glint of light appeared in Kino's eyes.
The Omega Ray struck Ikaris's body.
Ikaris's body was instantly blasted to pieces by the powerful energy.
But it began to revive under the influence of the Omega Effect.
The cycle of explosion and rebirth continued endlessly, plunging Ikaris into a state of endless torment.
A life-threatening trap.
The Eternals around them felt a chill run down their spines at the sight of Ikaris's miserable state, not only because of the Demon King's methods of torture, but also because of the indifference of the Celestial Tiam.
"Submit or die!"
Kino and Tiamut said in unison.
"!!!"
Now everyone understood.
The Celestial Tiam was also controlled by Kino.
Without hesitating for long, Ajak was the first to bow.
"We choose to submit, Demon King."
"Ajak!"
The others looked puzzled. If they had only harbored disloyal thoughts before, but had not made up their minds completely, then submitting to the Demon King now meant a complete betrayal of the Celestials.
"Tiamut is under control. Even if Arishem manages to rescue her in the end, we, as the guardians, will only face death."
Ajak also tried to persuade the others.
Moreover, as the leader of the Eternals, she knew a secret: even if the Emergence, their fate would be to have their memories erased and travel to the next planet to continue the mission of giving birth to a celestial being.
Until they were completely destroyed, this was the reason she made up her mind to betray the Celestials.
The others, after hearing these words, remained silent for a moment before choosing to submit.
"A wise choice. After all, working for me offers better benefits than yours, doesn't it?"
Kino looked behind the Eternals.
Just then, a massive black hole appeared in the solar system without warning.
Strangely, the black hole did not have any effect on the surrounding planets.
Thirty-three Celestials, each 40,000 meters tall, slowly emerged from the black hole. Subsequently, three Celestials, each 200 miles tall, also appeared.
The Judicator: Arishem.
The Eradicator: Yinsen.
The Analyst: Jemiah.
These three Celestials had their backs to the sun, and their enormous bodies completely blocked out the sunlight, plunging the Earth into darkness for an instant.
They were the original Celestials, unlike the mass-produced Celestials. Each of them was a unique being, and each possessed the power of the multiverse.
The mass-produced Celestials exist in both individual universes and Highfather, depending on the energy they absorbed at birth.
Their main purpose in coming here was to investigate the Explorer who disappeared in this universe, but after a long time without any news, they began to suspect that the Five Cosmic Entities were behind it.
To avoid being put on the defensive, the Celestials from the three multiverses mobilized simultaneously.
Midway through their journey, they sensed the birth of a new Celestials and decided to come and welcome their new companions.
Arishem looked down at Kino and Tiamut and understood everything.
The Eternals were all deathly pale; they had betrayed the Celestials right before their eyes.
"Arishem the Judge, please save me..."
Ikaris died again before he could finish speaking, and Arishem didn't even glance at him.
"Human leader, Demon King, you interfered with the birth of the Celestials, controlled the Celestial Tiam, and disrupted the order of the universe. I will bring judgment upon you and the planet behind you."
"As for your dereliction of duty, I will erase your memories and start new missions."
Arishem announced the verdict of his trial.
The Eternals were ashen-faced. Thirty-six Celestials descended simultaneously. The Demon King had no chance of defeating them, and Earth was doomed.
"Two more charges are needed."
Kino said, "Only three multiverses? It's a shame he was so careful."
"What crime?"
Arishem asked bluntly, beginning to wonder if he had really committed some crime.
"I am guilty of the heinous crimes of blaspheming the Celestials and Carnage the Celestials."
No sooner had Kino finished speaking than a new Celestials appeared out of nowhere, wielding a fist crackling with energy flames as it struck the weakest the Analyst.
"The Vanished the Explorer..."
Before the Analyst could finish speaking, he was punched out of the solar system.
The Explorer offered no response; its rear-mounted device spewed powerful flames, providing immense thrust, and it pursued the Analyst, continuously propelling it deeper into space.
The other Celestials were also stunned by this situation; Arishem's enormous eyes shone with an intense light.
"You Celestials! I hereby sentence you: strip you of your power and banish you to the desolate edge of the universe, so that you may reflect on your sins in solitude."
The Eradicator beside him raised his scepter, powerful energy surging at its center, aimed at Kino and the Earth behind him, ready to erupt at any moment.
"I'll have to trouble you with this, Father-in-law."
Kino said with a smile.
On the other side of the sun, a gigantic hand forcefully grasped the head of the Eradicator, and purple energy erupted from its hand, interrupting the Eradicator's power-building process.
"No problem, I've never eaten the Celestials from the multiverse before."
Behind the Eradicator appeared a figure several sizes larger than them, its eyes filled with excitement.
He had long coveted these delicacies; each one contained the energy of at least ten inhabited planets, and the multiverse contained at least a hundred, but unfortunately, they were all very difficult to capture.
"Galactus!"
Arishem was just trying to save the Eradicator.
Galactus had already taken the Eradicator and flown into the depths of the universe.
This son-in-law is quite something; he brings such a generous gift on his first visit. After eating this, he won't be hungry for a long time.
The other Celestials couldn't catch up; they were just snacks to the Galactus had just finished eating.
