Chapter 316: Contact with the Eternals (Part )

"boom!"

Another deafening roar sounded on the cliff. It was unknown how many times such a noise had been heard.

However, this time the vibration seemed to be more intense than before, as if the entire forest was shaking. When the loud noise sounded, it was accompanied by a powerful shock wave. This shock wave was centered on the source of the vibration and quickly spread to the surrounding areas.

Wherever the shock wave passed, the ground seemed to be pushed suddenly by an invisible giant hand, sweeping up the snow on the ground to form a snow wave like an avalanche, pushing towards the surroundings.

The trees seemed to be shaking, and the leaves rustled, as if telling of the uneasiness of the land. The accumulated snow fell from the branches and merged into the snow waves. Some tall trees were even shaking because of the vibration, as if they might fall down at any time.

The animals in the forest had already sensed the danger here and had moved away, not daring to get close. The abnormal tribes who had heard the noise and wanted to climb up the cliff had already fled. Although their intelligence was not outstanding, it was much better than that of ordinary animals, and they could naturally sense how dangerous the existence that could cause such a noise was.

At the source of the vibration, there was a scene like a meteorite falling to the ground. Of course, the falling object was not a meteorite, but something else. The ground was cracked with tiny cracks, like an oval meteorite crater, and in the middle of the crater was a man who had lost consciousness and was unconscious.

At this time, Noah also slowly landed on the edge of the crater. He felt the ground beneath his feet was extremely hot, as if it had just been burned by flames, and even emitted wisps of thin black smoke. The black smoke slowly rose in the air. It was the smoke from the organic matter and microorganisms in the soil burning in the high heat. It had a burnt smell that made people frown.

Noah looked at Ikaris in the center of the crater. After receiving his unexplained qwer combo, he was already half dead. However, he was only half dead. His slightly rising and falling chest proved that Ikaris was still alive, but was seriously injured and now fell into a coma.

The reason why Ikaris survived after being hit hard many times and falling from a great height was due to his superhuman physical fitness.

Of course, the most important reason was that Noah did not kill Ikaris. He did not want to kill Ikaris at this time. As for the reason... Noah looked at Ajak who was running from not far away. This was why he did not intend to kill Ikaris.

No matter what, Ikaris is also a member of the Eternals. This group of people have lived together for thousands of years and have some feelings for each other. If he is killed like this, then the subsequent communication will become very troublesome.

Of course, there is another reason why Noah did not kill Ikaris. Although Ikaris currently seems to be a loyal Celestial faction, it is not impossible for him to change his mind. This is the conclusion Noah came to after recalling the entire Eternals movie.

Since the Eternals were created by the Celestials, they have been deployed to various planets to protect the planetary ecology until the Celestials are born. After the mission is completed, the Eternals on these planets will have all their memories wiped out by the Celestials, restored to factory settings, and then deployed to another planet to continue their mission.

Only the leader of each team of Eternals, such as Ajak, will not have his memory cleared by the Celestials so that he can lead his Eternals to perform missions. Every time the other Eternals go to a planet to perform a mission, they will think that this is their first time to perform a mission.

Ajak has now lived for millions of years, which means that in these millions of years, these Eternals have been restored to factory settings countless times.

As for why the Celestials erased their memories, it was actually mentioned in the movie, and Noah also had some impression of it. As mentioned before, the Deviants were also created by the Celestials, and were originally used to protect the Celestials' birth planet.

Because the Celestials believed that the predators on certain planets would affect the reproduction of life on the planets and would be detrimental to the birth environment of the Celestials, they asked the Deviants to eliminate them. However, after the Celestials placed the Deviants on the planets, something unexpected happened to the Celestials. After hunting down those predators, the Deviants evolved into even more powerful predators.

This change of the abnormal race made them a powerful and abnormal alien invasive species. Moreover, the Celestial Gods could not control them, and these abnormal races began to threaten the ecological balance and life safety of the entire planet.

So based on the experience of the last failure, the Celestials created the Eternals again. In order to avoid the last accident, the Eternals created this time are individuals that cannot evolve, and will not continue to evolve like the Deviants.

Moreover, after each mission, the Celestials would reset and clear the memories of the Eternals, and then save them to prevent them from becoming disloyal. At the same time, they would use them for research to study why the abnormal race created by the Celestials last time had undergone such changes.

In short, this is the truth that the Eternals don't know, and they have been kept in the dark. When Ajak told Ikaris the truth, he was a little upset. Of course, any Eternal would be upset if they knew that their millions of years of life and memories were being erased.

Ikaris followed Ajak's advice, expressed his feelings to Sersi, who was also an Eternal, and lived a happy life after they got married. However, the truth that Ajak told him represented their life and memories on Earth, which would eventually turn into bubbles and be cleared away as always after the birth of the new Celestials.

This truth made him very painful, and he began to blame Ajak for telling him the truth and making him live with Circe. He didn't want Circe to suffer the same pain as himself, so he didn't tell her the truth. It was not until more than a hundred years ago that he finally couldn't stand this torture and left Circe.

In fact, the reason why Ajak told Ikaris alone was because she regarded him as the next leader of the Eternals. However, she did not expect that Ikaris could not withstand the pressure of the truth and did something she had never expected.

For example, like today, he planned to kill her and then put the blame on the abnormal people.
