Chapter 444 Death of Ajak
Everyone looked at Ajak on the field. Ajak was the leader of the Celestials and also their wise man.
Her own combat capability is not particularly strong, and she is positioned as the nurse of the gods.
Jacques's gaze slowly swept across every member of the Celestial Clan present, her eyes revealing an indescribable heaviness and determination.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, his voice steady and powerful: "In seven days, our god will wake up from his slumber."
As soon as these words came out, the entire venue fell into silence. God, that is the supreme existence, is their eternal faith and protector.
However, Ajax's next words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
"Originally, the gods could have chosen not to tell us the truth and directly resurrected them. But this time, they chose to tell us."
There was a barely perceptible sadness in Ajak's words. "That's because, not long ago, our members of the Celestial God Clan encountered an unprecedented massacre in an unknown corner."
Hearing this, every Eternal member sitting in the meeting hall was shocked. How could the supreme Creator be killed?
This simply subverted their cognition.
Ikaris could not bear such news. He stood up suddenly and shouted in a trembling voice: "This is impossible! The gods are invincible. How could they be killed by humans?"
Ajak looked at the excited Ikaris, with a hint of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.
She took a deep breath and continued, "This is true, Ikaris. That is why the gods asked us to protect them until the moment of their divine manifestation, to prevent them from being slaughtered by the godslayer again."
"That's why they chose to tell us the truth." Ajak said with a hint of determination, "This is our responsibility and mission as members of the Celestial Clan."
Hearing this, a look of confusion and uneasiness appeared on Circe's face.
She looked at Ajak and asked in a trembling voice: "So, do we really have to assist the gods in completing their manifestation and destroy this earth? This...how is this possible?" Ajak's words made Cersi mistakenly believe that Ajak also supported the gods in completing their manifestation.
Ajak smiled at Sersi, with a smile that showed both helplessness and tenderness. She did not directly answer Sersi's question, but quietly said: "You know, I have lived here for thousands of years and witnessed the uniqueness of this planet.
The mountains and rivers here, the living things here, the people here and their stories, all constitute the unique charm of this planet.
Every life and every story is so wonderful and worth cherishing."
“Although the gods will rebuild the entire earth after their resurrection, will the earth at that time still be the earth we love now?
Those memories we cherish, those joys and sorrows we have experienced, will all disappear with the destruction of the old earth.
The Earth should not be sacrificed in vain, we should do our best to prevent the revival of the Celestials." Ajak's words were full of deep affection and reluctance for this land.
"This is also the reason why I asked Gilgamesh to join the Illuminati on behalf of the Eternals." Ajak continued, "I hope that through the power of the Illuminati, we can find a way to stop the resurrection of the Celestials and protect this planet and its inhabitants. At the same time, we Eternals must find a way to stop it ourselves, which is why I summoned you here."
However, as soon as Ajak finished speaking, Ikaris slammed the table, his face full of anger and confusion: "Ajak! Are you going to betray Ikasem? Are you going to betray the Celestials?"
Ikaris' words were full of questions and accusations.
After saying that, laser light suddenly shot out from Ikaris' eyes and shot towards Ajak.
This sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
But the Speedster Makari reacted quickly. Her figure flashed by like a flash of lightning. She picked up Ajak at a speed that almost exceeded the limits of human perception. With a nimble turn, she cleverly avoided the deadly laser beam.
The laser light exploded behind them, leaving a charred trail and a pungent burnt smell in the air.
Sersi, Tina and other members of the Eternals finally woke up from their dreams and recovered from their shock.
They quickly drew out their weapons and pointed their guns, swords, energy beams, etc. at Ikaris, their faces filled with incredible shock and burning anger.
"Ikaris! Are you crazy? You are going to attack us, the people who are fighting side by side with you, just for those illusory gods?" Circe's voice trembled with anger.
Ikaris remained unmoved. Behind him, the water elf and Kingo, the Heart of Eternity, stood firmly beside him, providing him with invisible support and strength.
"Water spirit, do you really think we should complete the so-called mission of the gods? These innocent creatures also have the right to live!"
Tina tried to persuade the water elf, but all she got was a cold response from the other party.
"The will of the gods is above everything else. The creatures here are nothing but ants. What do their lives and deaths have to do with us?" The water elf's words were as cold and ruthless as ice, and her eyes were full of blind worship of the gods.
Jin Ge looked indifferent. He shrugged and said calmly, "I don't care about gods or not, but I will not join your plans to stop the gods."
The scene suddenly came to a stalemate, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, as if a fierce battle would break out at any time.
At this moment, Ajak stood up and shouted with all her strength: "Stop! We can't go on like this!" Although her voice was weak, it was full of unquestionable firmness.
Then, she turned to Ikaris with a gentle and apologetic look: "Ikaris, the misunderstanding between us is too deep. I think we should find a quiet place and talk alone."
After saying that, she turned and walked outside.
However, she did not notice that Ikaris' eyes behind her were full of resentment and unwillingness, as if he wanted to devour her.
Upon seeing this, the other Eternals also split into two factions: one opposed the Celestials, and the other supported the actions of Ikaris and the water elves.
The whole place became extremely depressing, as if there was an invisible boulder in the air making it hard for everyone to breathe.
Cersei watched this scene bitterly, her heart filled with helplessness and disappointment.
She once thought that the Eternals were united and would never be shaken by the outside world. However, everything now made her feel heartbroken.
In this way, everyone waited for the return of Ajak and Ikaris.
However, time passed by minute by minute, and two hours later, the two still did not show up.
The Eternals sitting inside began to sense that something was wrong, and their hearts were filled with uneasiness and worry.
At this time, the Speedy Makari could no longer sit still.
She quickly got up and ran outside to check the situation.
Less than five minutes later, she ran back with Ajak's body in her arms, with a heavy face.
"how so....."
"What happened"
The chaos prevented them from noticing that the water elf and Jin Ge had already left.
