As a beam of white light descended, Ajak and Ikaris were brought back to the Starship.
The two arrived at the public rest cabin.
Ajak pulled up a chair, sat down, and asked Ikaris with a smile, "Alright, there's no one else here, can you speak now?"
Ikaris leaned against the edge of the table, his gaze toward Ajak turning cold.
" Ajak, centuries have passed. Your laughable 'humanistic concern' should be satisfied by now."
Ajak's smile froze instantly; she clenched her hands tightly, her tone becoming heavy and firm.
" Ikaris, we were created to protect humanity, not to become executioners."
Ikaris gave a cold laugh, his voice as piercing as an ice pick.
"Protect humanity? Ajak, the birth of the Celestials is an inevitability of the universe. Do you really intend to betray our mission for those Greed, filthy humans?!"
Ajak suddenly stood up, facing Ikaris directly.
"The ' Emergence ' will destroy this planet, annihilating countless humans and lives! Ikaris, we have lived on this planet for thousands of years, protecting and guiding them. They... they were just innocent mortals!"
"Innocent? Mortal?" Ikaris's eyes couldn't help but flash with golden energy.
"This beautiful blue planet has long been tainted by humankind with war, disease, and Greed!"
A deep look of disgust flashed across his face, and he said firmly, "The orders of the Celestials are absolutely correct. The value of humans, who are like ants, is far less than the mission for which the Celestials were born!"
Ajak looked at the defiant Ikaris, a complex expression flashing across his face.
She took a deep breath and said, "Calm down, Ikaris! There's no point in arguing right now. It's not time for the ' Emergence ' yet. We need to think things over carefully."
A flicker of disappointment crossed Ikaris's eyes, but his expression quickly returned to calm.
"OK, I hope you can change your mind."
Ajak pursed his lips and sat back down in his chair.
Is there anything else you wanted to see me about?
"For example..." she winked, teasingly adding, "...asking for Sersi's contact information..."
Upon hearing the name ' Sersi ', Ikaris's eyes flickered noticeably, but quickly returned to calm.
He said in a nonchalant tone, " Sersi's current lover Dane Whitman."
Ajak:...
She touched her nose, forcing an awkward smile, and said, "Is... is that so? I'm sorry, it was my fault."
"Alright!" Ikaris stepped away from the edge of the table, his expression turning cold and stern.
"The reason I came to see you this time is because of an unexpected discovery."
"What discovery?" Ajak asked, puzzled.
"I've discovered... Deviants!" A powerful killing intent suddenly erupted from Ikaris's body.
"What?!" Ajak jumped to his feet, his face changing drastically.
"Another Deviants has appeared?!"
" Ikaris, where did you find them?"
Ikaris replied coldly, " Alaska."
He added sarcastically, " Ajak, you were just talking about protecting humanity, but what have you actually done..."
You chose to live in seclusion alone.
" Sersi lived in Britain and was obsessed with love affairs with humans."
" Gilgamesh is hiding in the Amazon Rainforest, playing his peaceful games."
"And Gilgamesh, Tina, Kingo, Phastos all see themselves as ordinary human beings!"
"Protect? That's a complete joke."
Ajak pursed his lips, unable to refute.
She could only awkwardly change the subject. "This isn't the time to talk about this, Ikaris!"
"Take me to the place where you discovered the Deviants!"
"If needed, we must immediately gather our partners!"
"How do we get there? Shall I fly you there?" Ikaris asked.
"No!" Ajak stomped his foot on the Starship and said in a deep voice, "Start the Starship and get there as fast as you can!"
"Okay," Ikaris replied, and the two of them tacitly avoided mentioning Sprite and Makkari in the Wooden Cabin.
As a gust of wind swept across the ground, the cloaked Starship suddenly rose up and Speed towards Alaska.
Hearing the commotion, Sprite and Makkari, who were inside the Wooden Cabin, hurriedly ran outside.
They looked at the devastated open space left by the raging wind, and stared blankly at each other.
" Ajak and Ikaris just flew their Starship away?!"
Makkari nodded silently.
"Where did they go? Why didn't they take us with them?!"
Makkari gestured dejectedly in sign language.
(have no idea...)
At the same time, both the Red Order's headquarters in Sokovia and Tony Stark's classified laboratory received satellite monitoring reports.
[Emergency Test Report:]
An unknown energy reaction has been detected in Quebec, Canada!
After comparing the data, it was determined that there is a 90% probability that it is an unidentified Starship!
The response from headquarters in Sokovia and Tony's location was extremely fast.
After a brief exchange, a squad belonging to the Magitech Legion, led by Rhodes, immediately set off towards the detected energy reaction of the Starship.
"Buzz!"
Outside the Wooden Cabin, a Spatial Portal opened.
Fifteen Enchanted Iron Armor emerged from the Portal.
'Whoosh!'
A blue ray of light swept past the Wooden Cabin.
The entire Wooden Cabin's 3D virtual image was displayed directly on the armor's virtual screen.
Rhodes said in a deep voice over the Communication Channel, "There is one man and two women in the house. Preliminary assessment suggests a couple with their young daughter."
"Without my order, no high-powered Magic or weapons may be used!"
"Yes, Captain Rhodes!" x 14
At this moment, Sprite and Makkari inside the house had already noticed the unusual situation outside.
Sprite created an illusion to replace herself, while she herself Invisibility and ran towards the bedroom.
Makkari moved at supersonic speed, flashing past the window.
The fifteen three-meter-tall Iron Armor standing in the open space outside the Wooden Cabin terrified her.
She instantly darted into the bedroom and quickly made Hand Seal at Sprite.
(Outside the house, fifteen enemies, their strength unknown, will be difficult to deal with!)
Sprite frowned and thought for a moment, then immediately said, "We can't confront them head-on. Let's get Gilgamesh away from here first."
Makkari nodded quickly.
Sprite had Makkari carry the unconscious Gilgamesh away, and immediately created illusions of Gilgamesh and Makkari on the bed.
Seeing the illusion of them sweetly embracing each other on the bed, Makkari blushed instantly.
She glanced reluctantly at the two illusions, then, urged by Sprite, pushed open the bedroom window and jumped out with the two of them.
'Snap~'
She carefully closed the open window.
Makkari immediately launched into supersonic movement, carrying Gilgamesh and Sprite into the dense forest.
On the other side, Rhodes left his Enchanted Armor, walked to the door of the Wooden Cabin, and politely knocked.
'Bang bang bang~'
Hello, is anyone home?
