Festus sent his two children away and took the three of them into a room and closed the door.

Ling Ge looked around the room. Although it was not big, it was full of warmth. He couldn't help but sighed, "What a winner in life!

You have a car, a house, a family, and even a baby. Compared to other Eternals, you may not be the best, but you are definitely the happiest. "

"Thank you. I also feel that I am very lucky."

"You should know why we came to you, Festus?" asked Circe.

"I know! I usually have the habit of watching the news.

My son knows that there is a Superman fighting monsters in London, so there is no reason for me not to know.

Honestly, I'm surprised the mutants haven't died out yet, but it's really not a big deal.

Hundreds of years have passed before the mutants dared to come out, so it is certain that their number should not be very high.

Besides, isn't Ikaris here?

With him here, why should we be afraid of mutants?"

Upon hearing this, Ikaris lowered his head in shame, feeling a little depressed and not knowing what to say.

"Well, Festus, I think you should think about it from a different angle, maybe you will get a different answer." Ling Ge said, "For example, if the situation is really as simple as you said, why would we come to you specifically?

You didn't come here just to reminisce about the past, did you? "

"Is that so? Then why did you come to see me?"

"Let the second Eternal Supreme Sersi answer this question!"

"The Eternal Supreme? The second one?" Festus was stunned for a moment, frowning and looking at Sersi, "What happened to Ajak?"

Serhi: ....

894. Fellow travelers! Hesitant Phaistos

"Ajak...is dead, and she chose me to be the second leader of the Eternals." Sersi hesitated for a long time, and finally told the truth, "Things are more serious than you think, Festus.

A mutant attacked Ajax and drained her energy, gaining the ability to heal itself and considerable intelligence. It used Ajax's energy to revive the mutants dormant on Earth and caused them to evolve generally.

The number is unknown, but it is certainly not small.”

Festus paused for a few seconds before coming to his senses. "This is really bad news. Mutants with intelligence will undoubtedly be more dangerous."

“Who says it isn’t, but worse news is yet to come.

The mutants’ target now is no longer intelligent life, but we, the Eternals.

Before coming here, we gathered some of our tribesmen, Spike, Zhuke, Saint Na, Gilgamesh...

But when he went to find the Golden Hook, he was attacked by dozens of mutants, and Jill's energy was also drained away by the mutants..."

"How is Jill?" Festus asked hurriedly.

"The rescue was timely and saved his life. He is fine now, but it will take at least a thousand years for him to recover his energy."

“It’s good to be alive.” Festus breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the three people, “So...what do you want from me?

I'm not a fighter, and an inventor can't do much against mutants."

"Inventor?" Ikaris curled his lips, "Phaistos, don't underestimate yourself.

We know each other well. Don't we know your strength as an inventor even if others don't?

I might not be able to defeat you even if I give you some time to prepare."

"Well... that's an exaggeration, Ikaris." Festus said embarrassedly, then spread his hands, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help.

As you can see, I am not alone like any of you.

I have a wife, two children, and a happy family, and I just can’t get away.”

"We are kindred spirits!" Ling Ge said with emotion.

"You?" Festus was a little surprised.

"Oh! It's hard to put it into words!

Originally, I didn't want to get involved in this matter. It's already very difficult to stay out of trouble in this world. What the mutants do has nothing to do with me, but my wife doesn't agree, so I can't do anything about it."

"Then you are really a bit pitiful!" Festus said with some sympathy, "But the relationship between you and your wife must be very good."

“This can be considered a consolation prize!

Men always have one or two weaknesses. "

"But, Festus, I need your help in this matter." Serhi said with a heavy face, "I have worse news to tell you."

"Hey, hey, hey! Why are there more?

Isn’t it bad enough that the identities of hunter and prey have shifted somewhat between the mutants and the Eternals? "

"No, that has nothing to do with what I'm about to say, which is directly related to the end of the world."

“Not really!” Festus smiled awkwardly, but when he saw the serious looks from the three people, he knew they were not joking, so he sat up straight and said, “You say.

But I have to make it clear in advance that if it is a doomsday like Mars hitting the Earth, then don't look for me.

I suggest that we quickly board the Tama, leave Earth, and return to Olympia.

You don't mind if I bring my wife and kids along!"

"A bosom friend!" Ling Ge sighed again. At first, he had also thought about driving the SHIELD and taking his whole family to Asgard for refuge, but he failed.

"Can you be serious?" Serhi glared at Ling Ge, then looked at Festus, "Do you know about the appearance of God?"

"What is that?"

"I just found out about this a few days ago. It was Alisem who told me. This is also the true mission of our Eternals coming to Earth, to ensure the smooth completion of the God's Manifestation."

"Wait, isn't our mission to eliminate mutants?" Festus asked in confusion.

"That is a major part of our mission, because God now needs a sufficient number of intelligent life, that is, humans.

The existence of mutants will greatly reduce the reproduction rate of intelligent life, naturally delaying the date of the appearance of the gods. "

"Hmm!" Festus nodded, not quite understanding. "Go on, I'm listening."

“The appearance of God means the birth of a new race of gods.

Alisem spread the seeds of the gods to various creative planets in the universe, and the earth is one of them.

The Celestials grow by absorbing the energy of intelligent life. Now that there are enough intelligent life on Earth, the Celestials' Tiamu inside the Earth is about to awaken.

And once He wakes up, the earth will be destroyed.

It's not like Mars hitting the Earth, but a destruction from the inside out. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Festus waved his hand and began to pace around the room. "Please give me some time to slow down. This seems like a lot of information."

"It's okay, calm down first. We were all shocked when we knew this secret." Sersi said. This kind of behavior of Festus was within her expectations.

Half a minute later, Festus sat back in his chair. He sighed deeply, "Serxi, you came to me because you have an idea!"

"I do have an idea, but I need your help to strengthen the Eternals' abilities as much as possible."

"I need to think about this." Festus murmured.

Serhi was about to persuade him again when the door suddenly opened and Jack walked in. "Dad, can you come over and help me? Wash the fruit."

"Oh, of course!" Festus smiled widely and stood up immediately. "You stay for a while. I need to think carefully and accompany my son."

Sersi and Ikaris looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Festus walked his youngest son to the sink at the end of the corridor, while two Eternals, Circe and Ikaris, leaned on the door and watched with great interest.

After all, they have lived for more than 7,000 years and have no offspring, so they are still very curious about the scene of Phaistos, an Eternal, teaching his son.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Ling Ge couldn't help but roll his eyes and complained: "Look at what you have accomplished."

"What do you know?" Ikaris said unhappily, "We haven't seen each other for hundreds of years. The son of Phaistos is considered the nephew of us Eternals. What's wrong?"

"Tsk! You're so polite.

Judging from your attitude, I might have thought you were here to steal something."

"I..."

"Don't interrupt, just watch first." Sersi said and glared at Ikaris.

Faced with the request from his first love, Ikaris smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

Ling Ge lay in the chair, closed his eyes, and silently checked his gains of the past few days.

? ? ? ?

"Oh! Let's collect it first!" Ling Ge said with some regret. Eight hundred thousand points is not a small number, but it really doesn't play any role now.

"System, I have killed a lot of mutants in the past few days. How many points do I have?"

“Defeating the mutant leader twice, 1.5 million points, killing 35 mutants, 2.4 million points.

The host's total points are currently 9.22 million."

Ling Ge: ...

Hiss! Is this so exciting? I am only 780,000 points away from the King Power Gates.

Mutants are really popular, and it will be enough to harvest another crop of leeks.

Then complete the main and side quests, then...

Just as Ling Ge was imagining a bright future, the sound of footsteps was getting closer.

He opened his eyes and saw the two people who were lying at the door quickly walking back. Serhi grabbed a magazine on the table and pretended to read it.

However, the next second, the magazine in her hand was snatched away by Ikaris. Helplessly, she could only pick up a cup on the table, turn her back to the door, and pretend nothing had happened.

"Yes, not at all pretentious," said Festus, as he came in.

The two looked at each other and put down the things in their hands awkwardly.

"So, after all these years, even you believed Ajak's lies."

"There's no need to rub salt into the wound," Ikaris said.

Phaistos sighed, “It makes sense that she doesn’t let us interfere in human conflicts. Conflicts lead to wars, and wars promote the advancement of technology and medicine.

Our task has never been to create a peaceful or harmonious world, but to increase population at any cost.

Treat humans as food for the gods, right?"
