"So?"
Sensing the positive energy, Hela—who had fled far away the moment Oshtur appeared—returned. She looked at Deathstroke, who was silently smoking.
"Your Goddess doesn't want you to wake Eternity. She wants him to sleep a little longer?"
"Yeah. It's perfectly normal for gods to play games against each other over differing ideals, isn't it?" Su Ming rummaged through his belt pouch and took out a small leather bag. Carefully waving for everyone to step back, he said as if talking to himself, "Good thing I specifically stocked up not long ago. Otherwise, there really might not have been enough sand."
With that, he used the Force to split the bag of sand in two and tossed half into each of Eternity's eyes.
The next second, the great god's eyes—which had been open as they gazed at the sky, glowing like Moonwells—seemed affected by some invisible irresistible force. Eyelids no one had ever seen before slowly descended, and Eternity fell into an infant-like sleep.
"What is that?" Hela knew something was wrong just from seeing those grains of sand. The feeling of that energy was far too unfamiliar.
"Sand of Time. You can think of it as a hypnotic tool." Su Ming clapped his hands. Even though not a single grain of sand had touched him, he was still extremely careful. "Although we still don't know what caused Eternity's 'coma,' it obviously gave my tool a considerable boost."
One possibility was that the Vishanti had been lurking here all along, and they were the ones who had knocked Eternity unconscious.
