A new A-Level Task has been issued, Summoner, please check it.
"Huh?"
Noah was slightly taken aback; just as he had guessed the identities of those two people, the system's notification suddenly popped up.
'A-Level Task?'
Noah looked at the system's prompt with some surprise. He hadn't expected that merely seeing two people, without any contact or communication, would trigger an A-Level Task. This caught him off guard.
However, this was also a good thing. Noah recalled how he had almost turned Hell's Kitchen upside down for a B-Level Task without finding it. Now, just by going out to play, he had received an A-Level Task. It was truly a rare opportunity.
'Let's check the task content first.'
Noah glanced at Gwen and Lissandra. Gwen was still picking things, seemingly having some difficulty choosing, while Lissandra was accompanying her. Noah turned his head and opened the task panel, which only he could see.
A-Level Task: God Revitalize
A new Celestial will be born on Earth. At the moment of this powerful life's birth, it will absorb all life on Earth as nourishment. Due to some unknown reason, the newborn Celestial will Revitalize prematurely.
Task Content: Prevent the God's birth.
"Celestial… unknown reason?"
Noah fell into contemplation. He knew about the Eternal storyline. Although he hadn't watched the movie at the time, he had seen some video clips and knew the general plot of the movie.
It was about a Celestial named Arishem the Judge, who was responsible for spreading the seeds of the Celestial to various life-bearing Planets in the Universe. Once the intelligent life on a Planet reached the number required by the God seed, a new Celestial would be born from the seed, then absorb the energy of the entire Planet, and the Planet's fate would be to be drained and destroyed.
And Earth just happened to have a Celestial seed sown on it. Thousands of years ago, the Celestial had sent several Eternal to Earth and given them the task of eliminating the Deviants on Earth. Of course, this was only the surface task; the true task was only known by Ajak, the leader of the Eternal.
There were a total of 10 Eternal dispatched to Earth. Since the task had appeared, Noah could only try his best to recall some key information.
The leader, Ajak, became the leader because she could manipulate Cosmic Energy most powerfully. She was also the only one who could communicate with the Celestial and possessed powerful healing abilities.
Ajak
Ikaris, the strongest warrior among the Eternal, possessed a Superman-like physique and could shoot Cosmic Rays from his eyes.
Ikaris
Sersi, one of the two people Noah had just seen, possessed the ability to rearrange and combine the molecules of objects, allowing matter to be arbitrarily transformed into other substances.
Sersi
Tina, a blonde female warrior with strong combat skills, capable of shaping Cosmic Energy into cold weapons.
Tina
Sprite, an Eternal who appeared as a 10-year-old girl. Due to her ability, her appearance would never change. Her ability was to create illusions and clones.
Sprite
Makkari, the speedster among the Eternal, utilized all her Cosmic Energy for speed. Her speed was extremely fast, much faster than Quicksilver in the current World. She was deaf and mute.
Makkari
Gilgamesh, the strongest warrior among the Eternal, concentrated Cosmic Energy in his hands to deliver powerful attacks. He was a strength-type warrior. (Palm Hero)
Gilgamesh
Kingo, skilled at concentrating Cosmic Energy from his hands into energy balls and firing them, a long-range attack-type warrior.
A San
Phastos, a peace-loving anti-war faction member within the Eternal, a researcher within the Eternal with very high intelligence. He was gay.
Ni Ge
Druig, had no combat ability, but could use Cosmic Energy to control people's minds.
This person has a villainous look
These ten were the Eternal dispatched by the God to Earth. They had various abilities and were very powerful. Noah remembered roughly these details.
These Eternal were ostensibly sent to eliminate the Deviants, but their actual mission was to ensure the smooth completion of the "Emergence," which referred to the moment the new Celestial was born. After each Emergence, the Eternal would have their memories reset by the Celestial and then be deployed to another Planet to continue their mission.
However, only Ajak, the leader of the Eternal, would not have her memory reset, so she always retained the memories of all these years and deeply understood her true mission for being sent here. Her fellow Eternals could only remain in the dark, manipulated by the God, and Ajak was powerless to resist her creator, the God.
However, Noah remembered that Ajak seemed to have died later, and it was by the betrayal of her own kind. After living on Earth for many years, Ajak gradually developed feelings for the human race. Thus, she suddenly no longer wanted Earth and humanity to be destroyed. Moreover, the God's repeated resetting of her kin's memories gradually made her dissatisfied, and she had developed a rebellious heart.
In the movie, during one of her meetings with Ikaris, she told him everything and stated that she wanted to prevent the "Emergence." Then, she was killed by Ikaris.
"Hmm, at this point in time, she should still be alive. If I want to do something, I can go find her."
Noah remembered that the original "Emergence" happened a few years after the Avengers 4 storyline, which was still more than a decade away from the present. However, the system's task description stated that due to an unknown reason, the day of Emergence had been brought forward, so time would be tighter. Noah didn't know how much it had been brought forward.
However, Noah suddenly found something on the task list that told him how much the Emergence had been brought forward.
Task Duration: 400 days 05 hours
"Task duration? Does that mean the task fails after this time? Which means that will be the moment the God is born." After seeing the system's task duration, Noah also knew the specific time of the Emergence: exactly one year later.
"Damn it, what on Earth caused this storyline to happen so early?" Noah rubbed his forehead. Although he knew about the Celestial's existence before, he hadn't paid much attention to it because it wasn't something he needed to deal with at this point in time, and he hadn't grown strong enough to handle it.
But now, he had no choice but to deal with it. After all, the situation had already occurred. Noah just wanted to curse. He wanted to know which unlucky person caused the Celestial's birth to be brought forward. It must have been some abnormal occurrence that shouldn't have happened, causing the day of Emergence to be brought forward.
"Huh?" Something abnormal that shouldn't have appeared. Noah suddenly found a blind spot. If there was anything in this World that shouldn't have appeared, it could only be himself, this person with a system and a soul from an outer Universe.
"Damn it, could it be that?" If the problem might lie with himself, Noah thought of some other things.
The God seed would absorb the Planet's life force when the Planet met its required conditions. In the movie, it took more than a decade to meet its conditions. As for life force, Noah suddenly thought of the Resolve Rune. He felt that perhaps after the powerful life force Rune appeared in this World, the God seed mistakenly thought that the Planet's life force was already sufficient, which is why the day of Emergence was brought forward.
"So, it was because of me all along." Noah slapped his head. Now, he could only figure out a solution himself, since he was the one who created this mess.
"Noah, here."
A cup of iced drink was handed to him. Noah looked up, and Gwen's cute face instantly brightened his mood.
"Oh, thank you."
There was still more than a year left, and Noah felt there was no need to rush now. Maybe he could draw a Dragon King within this year?
"Let's go, let's continue having fun."
