Chapter 187 The Eternals

  The wind and sand flowed by, and the barren land was vast.

  The little Caucasian girl with short blond hair stood in a daze on the loess **** for a long time, the regret and helplessness in her eyes was not at all like that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.

  The woman beside her came and patted her on the shoulder. Her long black hair was gently blown by the wind and sand, and she was dressed in a denim jacket, trousers and short boots, which suited the wilderness-like environment here.

  The little girl suddenly held her hands flat, and countless golden lines suddenly appeared in the void, forming a shape frame of buildings, pavilions, plants, trees and flowers.

  In the next moment, a towering, quaint but gorgeous hanging garden appeared out of thin air.

The green grass is flourishing and the flowers are in full bloom. The marble-like pure white stone pillars and the walls are engraved with gorgeous patterns and textures. The sculptures in the shape of human beings or birds and animals are lifelike. One of the short-haired girls in a short robe and jumping is actually the same as the one on the wasteland. This little girl is very similar.

   "Ajac, five centuries have passed. After everyone separated in the city of Tenochtitlan in the Aztec Empire, they never returned here."

   "Yes, it was 1521, when the Spanish captured the Aztec Empire. I didn't expect you to be so impressed by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. I almost forgot how prosperous and magnificent it used to be."

  Ajak, who looks a bit like an Indian woman, looked at the ruins of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in Iraq after the illusion was removed.

  This place is now purely a wilderness, not even half a stone pillar or broken wall remains.

  There was the sound of a jeep's engine in the distance, and a long loess dragon roared up, and a helicopter flew overhead and hovered slowly.

   "It should be Circe and Ginger, I don't want Ginger, he left me in Macedonia!"

The little girl looked childish when she was angry. She took the initiative to run to the jeep, and hugged a yellow-skinned beautiful woman who got off. There was also a fat black man and a gloomy man sitting in the car. White youth.

   "Ajak"

  Several people gathered around the woman named Ajak, including the thick-browed Indian who got off the helicopter, and they all bowed their heads in a respectful manner, as if she was the most prestigious leader of the group.

   "Circe, Druid, Fastos and Ginger, long time no see."

  Ajak also nodded and greeted the four of them. The woman named Circe smiled softly, put her arms around the little girl and said:

   "Speight, didn't you say you wanted to live with me for decades? By the way, Ajak, why didn't you see Gilgamesh and Tina?"

"I didn't mention Icarus on purpose, Circe! Hehe, I planned to go to you in two years. Maybe one day I would run away when I got angry with Ajak, but if the druid hadn't informed me We, all of us will not have such an opportunity to get together."

  While walking towards the depths of the barren plain, the thick-browed Indian man began to talk non-stop to the black fat man and gloomy man around him.

"Druid, what happened to the village you built in the Amazon rainforest? The traces of so many people's lives can't be wiped clean! And Fastos, where have you been all these years? You talked about those atomic bombs It has nothing to do with you, human killing tools will evolve in the future."

Neither of them wanted to talk to this Indian man named Ginger. Fastos, who looked like a fat black man, clasped his hands empty-handed, and a ball of golden silk thread was condensed between his palms. The delicate and fine parts looked particularly delicate. complex.

  The land of the wasteland trembled violently, and the earth and rocks cracked through the gaps between the roars, and then disintegrated and collapsed, forming a huge triangular pit.

  A blurry shadow suddenly flashed in front of the six people, and a dark-skinned woman with a long ponytail and long braids suddenly appeared, greeting everyone happily with sign language that only deaf-mute people can use.

  Finally, a precisely cut triangular flat-thick cube floated up from the collapsed land. Under the control of a remote control in the hands of Fastos, strips of golden lines flickered, as if some kind of machine had started.

   "Ah! Macari, I really don't know how you can bear to stay on the Tama all the time, oh I see, you often go out to play."

  Ginger and the fast-moving deaf-mute woman Makari communicated in sign language. The leader of the crowd, Ajak, looked at a black spot approaching in the distant sky, nodded in relief, and finally said relaxedly:

   "Ikaris brought Tina and Gilgamesh here, let's go in and talk about it first."

  A handsome black-haired white man appeared through the air, leaving behind the fat, yellow-skinned man and the platinum-blonde long-haired, extraordinarily heroic and beautiful woman.

  The three of them landed on the floating giant spaceship, nodded to everyone, and walked in through the gap on the top of the spaceship.

As everyone was ingested by this spaceship named "Tama", the air trembled slightly, but there was no sound of breaking through the air and repulsive pressure brought by the propulsion of the flight engine, and it disappeared without a trace. trace.

  Blood-red, with slender limbs, a giant sculpture with a somewhat weird shape and a bit of mechanical and rock texture, ten people stood in the central hall of the spaceship.

  They looked at the solemn and extraordinary statue of the red giant in the middle, and golden threads lit up on the black and blue wall behind them, winding and wrapping everyone's bodies one by one.

  No matter what kind of clothes they were wearing, they were all shaped out of thin air into a suit of exquisitely fitting armor, although the color and decorative symbols of the armor on each person were different.

  But the style is the same, and the aesthetic style of the "Tama" spacecraft that has hovered in the universe and looked at the blue earth is generally the same.

  Ajak, the only one with a crown-shaped helmet, indicating the identity of the leader, led everyone to sit around the red statue, and said solemnly:

"Based on the time span of the earth, it has been almost 7,000 years. This generation of Homo sapiens evolved modern humans from the Mesopotamian plains, and now there are billions of people in the world. As the eternal race, we The task is almost complete."

   "Huh, so for the last few decades, we must all be huddled in the Tama, until we receive the signal to return to Olympia? For a so-called arrogant "extraordinary conference" of human beings, we will eternally—"

   "Icaris!"

   Ajak interrupted the man's words in a solemn and deep voice. The heroic man named Icaris stared at Ajak with a fixed gaze, faintly provoking the woman's leadership position.

"Icarus, you are very clear about our mission, very clear. At this stage, we must not conflict with James Howlett. Now the leader of the mutants has the power and his personal strength. Can not be ignored!"

   Ajak seemed to have something to say to Icaris, and his words were full of hints. Seeing that he finally lowered his eyebrows and stopped talking, he continued to host:

"For us, time is meaningless. We haven't seen each other for almost five hundred years, but it seems that only five months have passed. I believe that the waiting time will not be sad, and after a few years, this Haoli Mr. Te's global search is over, and we can still return to Earth."

  The female leader looked at Circe and Fastos, and her last words were consciously comforting them. After thousands of years of entanglement with the human world, many Eternals have feelings and dependence on this world.

   Even Ajak himself is trying his best to restrain this emotion. In terms of the firm will to perform the "task", Icarus is the best.

"We have left too many traces on the earth. My village in the rainforest alone has been searched repeatedly by the spiritual power man. Myths and legends, the hidden records of the mystic, and a person like Ginger who played the role of three generations of movies Celebrity behavior."

  “To be honest, I like Howlett’s approach very much. If you hadn’t stopped me, I would have controlled the minds of all mankind long ago, and let them completely cut off wars and conflicts!”

  The druid, who had always had a gloomy face, seemed not to talk, but he poured out all the grievances accumulated in his heart for thousands of years.

  As the direct cause of the separation of the ten people after the battle to exterminate the mutant race, he has always opposed the iron rule of the Eternal Race mission that cannot interfere with the independent development of human beings.

  Ajak ignored the druid's venting speech, and turned to look at Tina, who had platinum-blonde hair and was as heroic as a goddess of war, and said with concern:

   "How have you and Gilgamesh been all these years? I'll check the situation for you later, and when I return to the home planet, I believe the problem of Eternal Demon will be resolved."

  Tina, in a golden battle dress, has been worshiped by the ancient Greeks as the prototype of the goddess Athena for a long time.

  She got up and paced to look out. The metal textured walls of the Tama gradually faded, becoming as transparent as glass, and she could clearly see the blue earth in the distance.

"Ajak, I don't know if the Eternal Demon can be cured after returning. I even have a strange feeling that I find ridiculous. Everything seems to be illusory. Even the home planet and everything we do seem to be unreal"

  The leader, Ajak, listened to Tina's murmured words, and didn't know how to respond for a long time. She vaguely communicated with Icaris for a moment, but fortunately, the eccentric Ginger broke the embarrassment with a loud voice.

   "I know! My psychiatrist told me about this case. Doubting reality is one of the most terrifying mental problems. Some people even commit suicide to try to prove whether the reality they are in is real"

  He looked at Gilgamesh, who was as muscular as a mountain, and squeezed his fist at himself with an unfriendly expression, and closed his mouth in a softer voice.

For hundreds of years after the Goddess of War Tina suffered from Eternal Demon, Gilgamesh, who has the strongest body and the ability to strike, has been taking care of and suppressing Tina's desire to kill violently. The relationship between the two is very similar to that of human beings. siblings.

  Speight, who has lived for nearly seven thousand years and still looks like a little girl, suddenly looked curiously at Circe in green armor and asked:

"Haven't you been living in the metropolis of America? Is Howlett really that strong? I know he cut off the head of En Sabah Nur. Back then, the druids also proposed this mutant who tried to rule all mankind It will affect our mission but... I don't believe he can beat Icaris!"

   Spett spoke highly of Icaris. She looked at Circe and smiled noncommittally. Instead of answering directly, she asked a question that made all the Eternals curious for a long time.

   "Ajak, do you think mutants are similar to our powers?"

   The second chapter is posted during the day, and the Eternals here is to leave behind a larger world framework and plot foreshadowing. Readers who don’t know this group don’t need to worry, and more detailed explanations and pitfalls will be explained later.
