Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar
Chapter 456 Human life is also life
"Because I learned the truth then, Cecily," Icarus said with a wry smile.
"I left because I couldn't face you. I couldn't tell you that the world you loved so much would eventually be destroyed."
"And right now, you know nothing about the power of the Celestials."
"Aristem's will is irreversible; defying the gods will only lead to utter destruction."
Icarus's breathing became weak. "Only by being loyal to Aristem, only by obeying his orders... will I have a chance to meet you again in the new world."
"Everything I do is so that in the next reincarnation... I can love you again."
"I love you, Cersei."
This declaration, spanning thousands of years, sounds particularly desolate on the vast, icy plains.
Cersei's tears streamed down her face, a sharp pain shooting through her heart.
She hated his betrayal, yet she couldn't completely sever the bond that had spanned countless centuries.
"I know, I know. Everything..."
"Swish! Swish!"
Suddenly a gust of wind swept up, and the two figures, one in front of the other, came to a stop on the ice.
Pietro was in front, slightly out of breath.
Makkali stopped beside him, looking somewhat disheveled.
Pietro raised his hand and, with an air of nonchalance, removed a twig from Makkari's hair, a mischievous grin on his face.
Maca blushed slightly, instinctively raised her hand to slap away his paw, and glared fiercely at Pietro.
The atmosphere between the two was rather strange.
But Makkari's attention was quickly drawn to the scene ahead.
Her gaze fell directly on Icarus, who was lying in the icy water.
The image of Zhu Ke being pierced through the chest by a golden ray flashed through her mind.
For thousands of years, she and Zhuke have been the best of friends among the Eternals.
Anger ignited in her heart in an instant.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, Makari covered a distance of more than ten meters, rushed in front of Icarus, and swung her fist to strike.
Cersei stood in front of Icarus, holding Makari tightly with both hands.
Makkari pushed Sersi away and let out a silent roar in sign language.
He killed Zhuke!
"I know! I know!" Cersei said sadly, "But he's blind now and can't fight back. We can't kill him here."
"So what do you want to do? Let him go?" Makkari took a step closer.
"Take him back first." Cersei pressed on Makkari's shoulder. "Leave everything to Ajax and let Ajax decide what to do with him."
Upon hearing the name "Ajak," Makkari's clenched fist loosened slightly.
Throughout their long lives, Ajax was not only a leader, but also like a parent to all of them.
With Juke dead, Ajax is now in more pain than anyone else.
Makkari gritted her teeth and stared intently at the horribly wrecked Icarus for a moment.
Finally, she slowly took two steps back, which was considered as tacitly agreeing to Cersei's suggestion.
Just as Cersei breathed a sigh of relief.
An untimely voice abruptly interrupted.
"Everyone, are you done chatting?" Azu asked slowly.
"But I must correct you on one point. Right now, this matter is not up to you to decide, including that Ajax."
Sersi and Makkari both turned to look at Azu.
"Your love story is really well told, very touching."
"Tsk tsk tsk, a love that spans thousands of years, so that they can continue to embrace each other in the next cycle of reincarnation."
Azu shook his head and changed the subject.
"But aren't these values a bit off?"
"You'd rather sacrifice all of humanity just to continue loving you in the next life, is that it?" Azu questioned, pointing at Icarus on the ground. "I ask you, what did all of humanity do to you?"
"Everyone on Earth works hard every day, clocking in and out, facing difficult bosses, trying to pay mortgages and bills, and hoping their children can go to a good school. Just living is exhausting enough!"
"Why should their lives be a part of your love play?"
Upon hearing this, the viewers in the live stream who were initially moved instantly snapped out of their daze.
Just now, when Icarus, blind, made a heartfelt confession to Cersei on the ice, many sentimental viewers were indeed moved by this tragic love story that spanned a thousand years.
But Ah Zu's blunt questions shattered the filter of love.
Holy crap! Homelander was absolutely right! I almost fell for this melodramatic love story!
[This is disgusting; I'm sick of this self-indulgent drama.]
[Damn his alien Romeo! I just started receiving my pension! Is he going to destroy the Earth now?!]
……
When faced with Azu's questioning, Cersei felt an unprecedented sense of shame.
But she still tried to make a final defense.
"Thousands of years ago, Icarus led us on the front lines, saving countless humans from the clutches of the mutants."
"He...he also made a huge contribution to this world."
Upon hearing this, Azu couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"That's even more ridiculous."
"Saving humanity from peril? That sounds noble. But how did this peril arise? Are you just going to keep quiet about it?"
Ah Zu pressed on relentlessly.
"Tell me, where did those mutants come from?"
"Isn't this something your high and mighty creator personally threw onto Earth?!"
"Then the dog he raised became disobedient, so he created you guys as tools to clean up the mess!"
Azu spread his hands.
"From beginning to end, only humanity has suffered! Humanity is merely fodder put into the trough by your creator!"
"I welcome the fact that some of you have now had a change of heart and are willing to abandon darkness for light and protect the Earth."
"But please, don't try to portray your past actions as something noble!"
"Should we give an award to the arsonist who came to put out the fire?!"
Ah Zu's logic is impeccable, and every word is piercing to the heart.
[A stunning revelation! Homelander's logic is unbelievable! What kind of savior is this arsonist pretending to be?!]
The people of the motherland are right! Human lives matter too!
Cersei was left speechless, and Azu's words tore away the Eternals' self-righteous pretense.
But Azu had no intention of letting her off the hook.
"You've lived on Earth for seven thousand years, drawn by humanity's creativity, emotions, and kindness, eventually falling in love with them, even at the cost of opposing your creator. That's because humanity itself is exceptionally superior!"
"But have you ever thought about this carefully? Before coming to Earth, how many cycles of reincarnation did you experience? How many civilizations have you destroyed with your own hands?"
"Everything you are doing now is merely atonement!"
The words "atonement" deeply shocked not only Sersi and Makkari, but also all the Eternals watching the live stream.
There was also a burst of support in the live stream room.
I was almost moved by these executioners! Thank you, Homelander, for revealing the truth!
[Atonement! She must atone with her lower body!]
"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...I'm really sorry..." Cersei choked out.
She apologized for her past ignorance, and also for the countless lives destroyed in the cycle of reincarnation.
"What I hate most is apologizing afterward."
Ah Zu coldly interrupted her.
