Luke asked Ada Wong to retrieve information about the Eternals Bio-Pharmaceutical Group. The group's founding time could be traced back one hundred years.
Three generations of the Ajak family had dedicated themselves tirelessly for a hundred years to the concept of caring for newborns.
According to reliable institutional estimates, the Ajak family had rescued and protected millions of orphans.
Some people respectfully called Ajak the modern-day Virgin Mary.
Members of her family dedicated almost all the group's profits to philanthropic causes.
Moreover, the group was quite low-key; despite its immense strength, it was not as widely known as Stark Industries or the Osborn Group.
They consciously reduced their presence, and their actions were quite mysterious.
Upon seeing this, Luke was certain that this Eternals Bio-Pharmaceutical Group was the Eternals squad.
The Eternals, who should have retired thousands of years ago, were now running a company!
And they were saving children all over the world.
People who didn't know the truth probably genuinely believed they were great philanthropists!
Only Luke knew that the Eternals were doing this not out of kindness, but to provide enough intelligent life souls and energy for the Celestials' emergence.
The intelligent life needed here were humans who grew up healthy.
Because the world was too chaotic, the Eternals could not patiently wait until 2024, as in the normal timeline, to sacrifice eight billion people and allow the Celestial to hatch successfully.
If they stood by and did nothing, the total human population would not increase; instead, it would continue to decrease.
In that case, the Celestial's emergence would be indefinitely postponed.
Regardless of their objective, before the Divine Appearance began, they had to package themselves as righteous individuals—encouraging reproduction, rescuing children, and protecting the world to ensure humanity did not go extinct.
Otherwise, even if the sleeping Celestial Tiamut emerged, he might be nothing more than a slightly stronger deformed being than Ego, potentially unable to fulfill his role due to congenital defects.
This was something Ajak and the Supreme Celestial Arishem the Judge could not tolerate.
"Interesting. This is truly too interesting!"
Luke wondered if Ajak would agree if he showed up now and demanded that the Eternals provide manpower for the job.
It would be best if they could fight among themselves.
Whether the Eternals died or the demons died, it would be a good thing for Earth.
Luke was contemplating the feasibility of this matter.
Until something else happened!
A violent, sharp, special sound wave came from the south.
Luke also sensed a plea for help from Earth's consciousness.
The planet's ecological balance was on the verge of collapsing due to the awakening of a certain entity!
"That direction is... the Antarctic?!"
"Could it be Ghidorah!"
Luke's expression shifted. He hadn't expected Ghidorah to suddenly awaken at this time.
Simultaneously,
In the Bermuda Triangle region, Godzilla suddenly left his lair and began moving toward the Antarctic.
Meanwhile, on the Antarctic continent, at Monarch Organization Base 32,
Professor Serizawa watched in horror as the frozen Monster Zero, Ghidorah, opened his eyes. Three pairs of red pupils emitted terrifying cold light!
Under the powerful struggle of millions of tons of raw strength, cracks spiderwebbed across the thick ice layer.
"Hurry! Evacuate immediately!"
Professor Serizawa slammed the Level One alarm. Everyone frantically rushed out amid the piercing siren.
"Notify the Department of Defense! Notify S.H.I.E.L.D.! Monster Zero Ghidorah has revived!"
Professor Serizawa forcefully suppressed his terror and quickly left, supported by his assistant.
Before everyone could evacuate, Ghidorah's three monstrous heads simultaneously erupted with brilliant gravity beams, shattering the ice layer in an instant!
"Roar—"
The moment he broke free, Ghidorah roared toward the sky, announcing his arrival as the King of this world.
...
Ghidorah's flight speed was extremely fast. His huge wings and powerful physique allowed him to soar at 1,224 miles per hour.
The gravity beams he released when breaking through the ice also possessed the ability to destroy electronic equipment.
By the time the Monarch Organization reestablished contact with the outside world, Ghidorah had already left the Antarctic continent.
No one knew where he was heading.
The only certainty was that he wasn't going to do anything good.
Half an hour later,
S.H.I.E.L.D. Trident Tower.
Nick Fury had already learned of Ghidorah's existence from the Monarch Organization.
Just as he gathered his best agents to formulate a response plan, he was summoned to the Pentagon by Secretary of Defense John Koehler.
"Gentlemen, the situation is extremely critical. According to satellite imagery, the Titan codenamed Ghidorah is heading straight for us."
"We must come up with a practical plan to stop that mad monster!"
John Koehler's expression was grave.
Air Force Lieutenant General Ross stared at the massive shadow flashing across the screen and declared with fighting spirit, "Rest assured, Mr. Secretary. If that thing dares to come to the United States, my soldiers will show it whose territory this is!"
The expressions of everyone else present were quite something.
Alexander Pierce's mouth twitched as he dismissed the statement outright.
Nick Fury's gaze drifted elsewhere as he struggled to hold back his objection.
John Koehler coughed twice. "General, I know the Air Force is full of fighting spirit, but are you sure our troops can defeat this monster?"
General Ross wanted to say "of course," but the memory of the Battle of the Monsters in San Francisco and the immense oppressive feeling when Godzilla appeared made the words catch in his throat.
It seemed… they really couldn't?
General Ross immediately turned to Nick Fury. "We need a little help, Nick. It's time to deploy that green monster. Fight monster with monster."
Nick Fury silently glanced at the image of Ghidorah as the image of the Hulk flashed through his mind.
Are you sure he's going to balance it out, and not just become a snack?
The size difference between the two made it clear they weren't opponents on the same level.
He still remembered a few days ago when Thor fought Godzilla. A single tail swipe had sent the Asgardian flying tens of thousands of meters, leaving him utterly humiliated.
Hulk can't even fly. Is it really appropriate to send him against Godzilla?
Nick Fury retorted, "General Ross, a while ago—following the United Nations' instructions—I sent someone to discuss having Abomination join the team, but you rejected our invitation."
"Since you value Abomination so much, maybe you should let him try."
General Ross's expression turned unpleasant. "If you hadn't sent that arrogant jerk last time, perhaps I would have seriously considered it."
The application for the Avengers Initiative had already been approved by the United Nations.
When finalizing the candidates, the United Nations hoped to include Abomination and also wished to recruit Luke and Thor.
Compared to Abomination, Nick Fury valued Hulk more. At least Bruce Banner was intelligent and rational enough not to rebel or engage in insubordination.
But he couldn't easily refuse the United Nations' request, so he specifically dispatched Tony Stark—who had a strained relationship with the military.
In the past, the military had been a major client of Stark Industries, and the two sides enjoyed a close relationship.
However, after Tony shut down the weapons division and refused the military's procurement orders for mechs, that relationship had plummeted to freezing point.
Even with War Machine Colonel Rhodes acting as a buffer, communication between the two sides was now limited to the bare minimum.
Given Tony Stark's arrogant and obnoxious demeanor and notorious reputation, General Ross was highly unimpressed with him. Even after Tony talked a good game, Ross flatly rejected the request.
Only then could Nick Fury naturally introduce Bruce Banner.
As for Luke... sigh..
Nick Fury had dispatched Sharon Carter, mentally preparing for a lost cause.
Unfortunately, Luke still refused.
