Chapter 445: Internal Conflict among the Eternals

"How could this happen!" Circe's eyes were filled with unspeakable sadness, and she stared at Ajak who was carefully carried in by Makari.

The face that was once full of vitality is now pale and lifeless, like a withered flower, which makes people heartbroken.

Makari's movements were gentle and heavy. He gently placed Ajak's body on the table in the conference room. At that moment, the entire space seemed to freeze, and even the air was so heavy that it made it difficult to breathe.

Festus, as the calmest and most rational person in the Eternal Group, rushed to Ajak's side at the first time. He skillfully turned over Ajak's eyelids, checked his pupils, and gently pressed Ajak's chest, trying to find any sign of life.

However, every move he made seemed to be declaring Ajax's fate to everyone.

The rest of the Eternal Team members, including Circe, Tina, Gilgamesh and others, all watched Festus' every move closely with a glimmer of hope that they were unwilling to give up.

They were all praying silently in their hearts, hoping that Festus could bring a miracle and tell them that Ajak was not dead and that all this was just a false alarm.

But the reality is always cruel. After finishing the inspection, Festus just turned around silently and shook his head at everyone. That silent denial was like a sharp blade, stabbing into everyone's heart.

For a moment, the atmosphere of sadness spread rapidly like a plague, and the entire conference room was shrouded in deathly silence.

After a long while, Tina was the first to break the heavy silence. Her voice was trembling, but firm: "What happened? Why is it like this? Ajak... Why did he suddenly..."

"Where did Ikaris go? Didn't they go out to talk? Why did Ajak become a corpse when he came back? Where are the Ikaris people?"

Although Tina also noticed that something was wrong with Ikaris at this time, she did not think that Ikaris would be so cruel as to kill Ajak, nor did she think about it in that direction.

At this time, the other people also recovered from the sad atmosphere, and Gilgamesh also discovered the missing person.

"Jin Ge and the water elf are missing too."

Gilgamesh also noticed something was wrong at this time. He raised his head suddenly and said, "By the way, where are Jin Ge and the water elf? Why are they not here?"

Everyone's attention was then shifted to the other two missing members.

For a moment, the entire Eternal Group seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, and everyone's heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness.

However, Tina forced herself to calm down, she took a deep breath and said, "The situation is complicated now, we can't lose our composure.

Let Makari tell us in detail how he found Ajak, and then we can work together to find Ikaris, Jingo and the water elves and figure out what is going on. "

Makari couldn't speak, so he could only gesture as he passed by.

The druid who knew Makari stared at Makari's gestures with a frown, as if he had heard something bad.

After a moment, he slowly spoke and translated what Makari had seen and heard to everyone: "Makari said that she didn't find Ajak and the others when she first went out. Later, she ran a long way before she found Ajak's body on the edge of a cliff. There were obvious signs of battle on Ajak's body. He must have been killed by the mutants."

"As for Ikaris," the druid continued, "Makari said that when she arrived at the scene, she only saw Ikaris flying away in a hurry. She didn't know why Ikaris left Ajak alone."

When Sersi heard this, her eyes instantly became wet. She couldn't accept this cruel reality and murmured to herself, "How could this happen? They were fine just now. How could they encounter mutant beasts for no reason?"

Festus, the smartest man in the team, shook his head slightly, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes. He began to analyze the whole incident: "I guess these mutants are not ordinary people. Ordinary mutants can't kill Ajak at all.

But why were they there and why did they clash with Ajax?

Logically speaking, if Ikaris was there, he should be able to save Ajak. Unless..."

Having said this, Festus suddenly stopped and did not continue.

However, the guess in his mind was already obvious - Ikaris might not be innocent.

However, without solid evidence, he did not want to jump to conclusions.

However, the druid was not as cautious as Festus.

He is ambitious and also the one who understands human nature best here.

He spoke directly, with a hint of provocation in his tone: "I guess that guy Ikaris killed Ajak because he opposed a decision she made."

When Gilgamesh heard the druid's words, he immediately became furious.

He knew Ikaris very well. Although he was stubborn at times, he would never do such a cruel thing. No matter how bad he was, he would not be as bad as this.

He retorted loudly: "Druid, don't talk nonsense, it's impossible! Ikaris is not that kind of person!"

The druid sneered and responded sharply: "Then tell me, except for this situation, how could Ajak die? Could he have committed suicide? There are not many people in this world who can kill Ajak!"

"Couldn't it be someone from Hell's Kitchen, or maybe the God Slayer who did it?"

The two started arguing again.

Cersei felt a headache watching the two people quarreling again. Now was not the time to quarrel. The gods were about to attack, and now they were fighting among themselves. The leader was dead, and there was no backbone.

Can the earth really be saved?

At this moment, Tina stepped forward. She walked domineeringly between the two people who were arguing and shouted in a firm tone: "Enough! Stop arguing! It's already this time, and you are still fighting here!"

Tina's voice was as shocking as thunder, and the two people who were arguing instantly quieted down.

Seeing this, Tina continued, "Gilgamesh and I decided to go find Ikaris and the others to find out."

After saying that, Tina paused and turned her gaze to Circe beside her. Since she wanted to stop the gods, Tina would not stop her.

"As for your plan to stop the gods, you can find a way on your own."

After saying that, Tina turned and left, with Gilgamesh following closely behind.

The rest of the people were left to discuss countermeasures.

However, what they didn't know was that the Ikaris they were talking about was in danger at the moment. He was lying on the ground with serious injuries and dying, being stepped on by a mysterious man in black.

"Who... are you..." Ikaris raised his head with difficulty and asked in a hoarse voice.

The group of men in black ignored his question and muttered to themselves, "This is where the gods appear. The power of the gods will soon belong to us."

One of the black-robed men looked at him with disdain.

"It's really embarrassing for us Eternals."

This scene was seen by the water elf who was about to meet up with Ikaris. He turned around and ran away with horror in his eyes.

"It seems that a mouse has escaped,"

"Don't worry about him, set up the equipment first."

"I heard that the guys from the Reed Council will also be coming, so hurry up."
