"Gathering the will of the entire Eternals ..." Strucker frowned. Of the Decad Eternals, Ajak was dead; of the remaining nine, Tina and Gilgamesh were still missing, and Gilgamesh was unconscious...
Even if we capture Sersi, Kingo, and Phastos, there will only be six of them.
Just as he was struggling with this, Sprite spoke up again.
" Phastos created a ' Telepathic Unification Device ' that could concentrate the energy of the entire Eternals into Sersi's body, achieving transcendent transformation."
" Gilgamesh and the others were responsible for providing the primal energy, Makkari used her ultra-fast and stable energy flow, and I was responsible for creating illusions to interfere with the gods' perception."
After explaining the entire idea, Sprite shook her head and said, "After Phastos proposed this idea, we conducted simulations, and the final conclusion was that the success rate was less than one in ten thousand."
One in ten thousand...
Strucker showed no disappointment; a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you for your help, Ms. Sprite."
"You stay here and rest. I'll go contact Ms. Sersi, Mr. Kingo, and the others right away."
"I'll come find you after everyone has gathered."
After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly.
On the way, Strucker's mind began to work at full speed, carefully considering who among the Order and other allied forces outside the Order could replace the Eternals in the plan.
The Eternals' Decad was only considered strong; even individual high-ranking members of the Order like Kenneth and Shay were no weaker than them. Add to that the Crimson Nun Guard and Kamar-Taj...
We all cultivate the Crimson Mana, and we can also gather energy into one person's body.
But this Sersi...]
He frowned, looking somewhat troubled.
[Manipulating matter, capable of transforming any object into other forms of matter.]
Strucker searched through all the factions but couldn't find anyone who could replace ' Sersi's ' core position.
He muttered irritably under his breath, "Fuck, I refuse to believe I can't find it!"
Inside the cell, Makkari sensed the air vibrations and 'heard' Strucker's curses, blinking in confusion.
On the other side, Sprite blinked, looking somewhat blankly at the empty space outside.
She cried out in disbelief, "No... you just left like that?!?"
"At least let me out!"
"Hey! Let me out! Didn't Ajak and Ikaris ask you to help us?!"
"Hey! Come back here! Come back here right now!"
"You big liar! Strucker, you damned liar!!!"
"(╬◣д◢) I'm so angry! Ugh!!!"
The roar of Sprite echoed out of the small window and reverberated through the Warden corridor.
Back in the office.
Strucker immediately gave the order.
"Bring back Sersi from London and Phastos from Chicago."
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
"Also, bring back Sersi's lover Dane Whitman, Phastos's gay boyfriend Ben, and their son Jack!"
"Oh, right, there's a kind of ' Telepathic Unification Device ' in Chicago, let's find it and bring it back with us!"
"Remember—this time I'm going to live!"
To be on the safe side, he dispatched two teams, all composed of high-ranking believers, to operate simultaneously.
London, an old-fashioned apartment.
Sersi was making breakfast in the kitchen, wearing a naked apron.
Inside the frying pan, the eggs sizzled in the oil.
Dane, who had just finished showering, walked in wearing only a towel.
He walked behind Sersi, opened his arms, and pulled his girlfriend into a hug. Inhaling the cool yet warm scent of her hair, he whispered sweetly, "Darling, I need a reward."
Touching her boyfriend's slightly cool skin after his shower, Sersi couldn't help but blush.
She turned around, holding the spatula, tiptoed, and kissed her boyfriend's cheek, saying affectionately, "Okay, go change your clothes. The fried eggs will be ready soon."
"OK~" Dane smiled with satisfaction, released her, and turned to walk out of the kitchen.
Sersi shifted her stance, used a spatula to scoop out the fried egg, and placed it on a plate that had been prepared beforehand.
She turned around, opened the cupboard door, took out a bag of ketchup, and prepared to spread it on the toasted bread.
Suddenly, Dane's Wrath shout came from the living room.
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
"This is my home, please leave immediately! Otherwise, I will call the police!"
Sersi was startled, hurriedly put down the plate, and rushed out.
During the journey, she reached up and pressed her hand against the apron on her chest.
'Whoosh!'
The apron instantly disintegrated into a large expanse of red peony flowers.
Then, the peonies swirled and surrounded her, instantly transforming into a short-sleeved T-shirt and tight jeans.
Sersi rushed out of the kitchen and saw a crimson Spatial Portal spinning in the center of the apartment's living room.
Five people, dressed in identical black uniforms with red stripes, stood in a fan shape in Portal.
One of them twisted her boyfriend Dane's arm behind her back, forcing him to kneel on the wooden floor.
"Fuck! Let me go! You bastard!"
"I'm going to sue you for trespassing on private property! And for assaulting the Master of the property!"
Thomas, who was controlling him, impatiently twisted Dane's arm forcefully, warning him, "Shut up! Be quiet!"
Dane screamed in agony, "Ah! Fuck!!!"
Sersi stopped abruptly, wary.
" Portal? You're the Kamar-Taj Sorcerer?"
"I don't recall ever offending Kamar-Taj!"
"And..." she shouted Wrath, looking at her boyfriend's pained expression, "Let go of Dane! He's just a normal person!"
The leader of the team, Shay, stepped forward with a nonchalant smile on his face.
" The Eternals, Sersi?"
Sersi's expression changed slightly, and she secretly became more vigilant, slowly pressing her right hand towards the table next to her.
"Stop! Ms. Sersi!" Shay shouted abruptly.
"We know your name, and we're naturally aware of your abilities..."
He opened his right hand, and a Crimson Sword materialized.
In an instant, with a flick of his wrist, the blade rested against Dane's neck.
"Ms. Sersi, you wouldn't want to watch your beloved boyfriend die like this, would you?"
Sersi's right hand froze, and her face turned extremely pale.
"You are despicable and shameless!"
Shay casually picked at his ear and grinned shamelessly.
"Thank you for your compliment, Ms. Sersi."
Sersi glanced at Dane, who was frozen in place and dared not move, and asked with tightly pursed lips, "What do you Kamar-Taj want to do?"
Shay grinned and said, "It's simple, just surrender and come with us."
Before Sersi could answer, Dane shouted excitedly, "Darling, don't listen to them! Go! Go now!"
Shay raised an eyebrow.
"Wow, good job, young man! You're really brave!"
He stared directly at Sersi, but tightened his grip on the sword slightly.
The sword blade instantly Dane Dane's neck, and a line of blood slid down his neck.
When Sersi saw the glaring red mark on her boyfriend's fair chest, her pupils suddenly contracted.
"Wait!" she cried urgently, reaching out her hand. "I'll go with you!"
"But you must promise me you'll let Dane go!"
"Otherwise..."
Sersi's expression hardened, and her hands slowly glowed with rich golden Cosmic Energy.
