The Death Knell

"Actually, we just want to live quietly, whether in a deserted tomb or in a pocket space that no one knows about."

The leader of the Eternals sat down. He looked at the face of the young human Deathstroke and sighed:

"Most of the Eternals know that the era of gods and faith has passed, so they have no ambition to make a comeback. Therefore, they have always pursued a policy of escaping from the world, no longer walking in the world and not visiting the Supreme Mage in time. It is us That’s wrong, but it shouldn’t be too late now, right?”

"Suck it." Zheng Xian didn't say anything after he sat down. He just drank tea and listened, while the others were in a similar state.

Carol had no idea what was going on, and she couldn't understand it either. She was currently busy wrestling with the element-devouring beast to prevent it from eating the half-roasted duck.

Thanos has no interest in the civil strife on earth, and he doesn't care at all about distant relatives like the Eternals. Now he is sitting on the brought master's chair, leaning forward and continuing to think about death.

Hela can understand some things. In the past, Odin came to Earth to join the Ancient Avengers, and he also fought against the Creator of the Gods, so he left some legends in Asgard.

But she was an outsider after all, and was not qualified to interrupt when Deathstroke was speaking, so she simply listened with the Scarlet Witch who was studying quietly beside her.

"It is not too late, for time does not mean much to us, the Supreme Mage."

Su Ming smiled and nodded. He touched his beard and looked at Xina behind Ikaris:

"Is it millions of years too late? After the ancient Avengers defeated the Second Creator and completely cut off the claws of the gods that harassed the earth, you should realize that the earth is protected by Emperor Weishan The place is right?"

"Well I don't know, I wasn't born yet."

Igris seemed to be brought back to the ocean of history by Deathstroke's words. He found that compared with the Supreme, who could check the timeline at any time, he seemed to know too little.

"What about you? Hina, don't you want to say a few words? Azus, the leader of the Eternal Tribe of the previous generation, is your father. Why does he think that after the Celestials leave the earth, Emperor Weishan will not treat you, these Celestials? Where will creation start?"

Deathstroke said to the woman with a half-smiling expression, but his eyes quickly moved away from the other person's face and drifted towards the roast duck.

Because it is so fragrant. Strangely enough, gin has also roasted duck and used fruit wood, but why doesn't it have this smell?

"Probably." The goddess bit her lip, but her gaze soon returned to firmness: "Probably because humans are also one of the creations of the gods, as are most of the animals and plants on the earth."

"Wrong, or half right."

However, Deathstroke interrupted her and corrected her seriously:

"Did the Celestial Group tell you this? I'm too lazy to tell you in detail, but you remember that the birth of human beings was indeed an experiment conducted by the Celestial Group on ancient apes, but many of the oldest creatures on earth, including ancient apes, , are all shaped by the Creator, the God Group just took the seeds left by others, transformed them, and claimed them to be their creations, even you."

"I know this. The Eternals, humans, and alien species are actually all evolved from ancient apes. The Celestial God Group conducted experiments on our common ancestors." Ikaris held Xina's hand, seeming to Pass on to her the courage to face the death knell.

"Yes, the Celestial God Group, at least the Color Celestial God Group, is definitely not as great as they advertise."

The Supreme Mage picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then twisted a cucumber strip and fed it to the black tentacles emerging from his shoulders:

"But Princess Xina was right about the other half just now. Your clan was spared by Emperor Weishan back then purely because you have more than 99% of the same genes as humans. Ao Shutu thought that you could understand each other with humans, but she didn't. Thinking about it, for the next few million years you will first act like gods and fool around, and then go home and become autistic, it would be better if you cooperate earlier."

"We have tried cooperation." Xina said a little unwillingly: "We taught humans how to invent writing and how to develop technology thousands of years ago. Even how to master fire was taught by us Eternals."

"But at what cost? Little princess."

He lit a cigarette and threw another one to Lao Zheng. Deathstroke knocked on the table with his knuckles. The strangled man on his shoulder opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and spit out a lighter to light it for the host:

"You claimed to be gods at that time. Regardless of skills, skills, technology, whatever, it was promoted as a gift from you, a gift that requires human beings to kneel down and worship, but you didn't say a word about the faith you gained from this behavior. Not mentioning it? I would like to ask, why do you describe the transaction of everyone getting what they need as a unilateral generous gift? "

"Oh, what a shameless god."

Wanda sneered, Deathstroke's attitude seemed a bit sharp, and she was ready to take action.

Before setting off, Deathstroke silently confessed through the strangled connection that once he threw the cup as a sign, he would immediately activate the magic of chaos and say, "There will be no more Eternals."

She didn't even know what the specific effect would be. Chaos magic was unpredictable, but Deathstroke was obviously very confident in its effect.

"That's enough, Hina, don't say any more. This is our fault in the first place. Our ancestors took advantage of information inequality and obtained huge benefits from humans. This is an indisputable fact."

Igris, who was still more concerned about the overall situation, stopped his female companion who still wanted to argue. He raised his hand and pressed the latter's shoulder, shaking his head:

"In fact, even without us, the agents of the demon gods will teach humans these skills, and perhaps make magic more popular in human society, far more prosperous than it is today. What we need to do now is to repair trust, not Avoid history."

"Ah, if you are willing to admit your mistakes, then you are still a good comrade, huh?"

At this moment, Deathstroke finally showed a smile again, and then he took out the wine from his pocket and put it on the table.

"Yep."

Zheng Xian beside him nodded in agreement, and he also put down his tea cup. He felt that Deathstroke would not kill Ikaris and the others. This was the intuition of an old agent.

"Okay, I probably understand your current attitude, so I will tell you directly, Igris, you are a smart man. Now many people in the Eternal Tribe have betrayed you. They not only help the Gods to do harm, but also It has also attracted foreign enemies to attack our universe. The story has become grand, so grand that you who have never left the earth cannot understand it.”

Su Ming took a puff of cigarette and watched the chefs start to carve the duck. He also rubbed his hands and waited for the meal to start, but he did not stop talking about the business:

"Let's negotiate a deal. I can provide help to the future of 'your' Eternals, and I can even find another Earth for you so that you can continue to be gods with incomparable glory there, but these require you to come up with something. , make some practical actions in exchange.”

"What is it?"

Igris is nearly two meters tall. He is extremely tall and handsome, but the way he swallows his saliva at this time clearly indicates that he is still affected by the bait spread by Deathstroke.

"A list? Or a home address? A cell phone number? I don't know, maybe any clue."

Seeing the roast duck getting closer and closer on the car, the Supreme Mage spread his hands and didn't want to talk about anything else. He directly laid out the transaction conditions:

"I know that there must be a special connection between your fellow Eternals, so I need you to help us catch the traitors of the earth. They want to harm the earth and mankind, and must and are destined to die. Then use their death to Change your job!"
