The luxury mega-mansion Su Mu had purchased was situated on an absolutely prime stretch of the Malibu coastline, boasting the most spectacular, uninterrupted view of the sunrise.
Far across the horizon, where the deep blue sea met the sky, a brilliant, fiery sun was just beginning to crest, bathing the waking world in a warm, crimson halo.
It was a breathtakingly beautiful scene, one meant to be enjoyed in quiet, absolute tranquility. However, the serene atmosphere was abruptly shattered by the hyper-sonic approach of an unidentified flying vessel.
Su Mu took a single step, utilizing a localized gravitational pull to glide out over the deep ocean. He actually quite liked his cliffside mansion; he absolutely didn't want the upcoming, apocalyptic skirmish to turn his prime real estate into a smoking crater!
Through the absolute vision of the Six Eyes, he clearly saw the bizarrely designed ship screaming toward him.
Unlike conventional human or even Chitauri spacecraft, this vessel completely ignored aerodynamics. It possessed a stark, angular, geometric structure, its metallic hull intricately carved with dense, glowing cosmic runes that clearly served as its primary energy conduits.
And inside that monolithic ship were all the remaining Eternals stationed on Earth, fully clad in their cosmic armor and burning with an absolute desire to avenge the murder of Ikaris!
Ever since Ikaris had been executed, the Eternals had never once abandoned their plans for vengeance.
Ikaris was arguably their strongest, most absolute warrior. To have him effortlessly slaughtered by a mutant—a genetic offshoot of their sworn enemies, the Deviants—was a cosmic humiliation the Eternals could absolutely not tolerate.
However, after extensively analyzing the combat data of the White Demon's subsequent rampages, they realized a terrifying truth: directly assassinating him was mathematically impossible. If they charged in blindly, they risked absolute, total annihilation.
Therefore, they initially sought an alliance with SHIELD.
But when they attempted to establish covert contact, Druig—the Eternal possessing planetary-level telepathy—was horrified to discover that every single SHIELD operative was already completely, deeply subjugated by an unfathomably powerful mind-control force! This psychic grip was so absolute and terrifying that even Druig dared not challenge it!
While they didn't know exactly who was puppeteering SHIELD, it was glaringly obvious that an alliance was impossible.
Just as they were at their wits' end regarding their revenge, a bizarre human—a man with green skin and an absurdly massive cranium—suddenly approached them. He meticulously detailed the White Demon's atrocities and offered an alliance!
Using Druig's telepathy, they scanned the man's mind. While they detected numerous layers of deception and hidden agendas, they confirmed one absolute truth: he genuinely hated the White Demon and possessed the technological means to assist them!
Thus, the Eternals accepted the "assistance" of Dr. Samuel Sterns, known as The Leader.
Armed with the bleeding-edge anti-mutant weaponry and an absolute, "mutually assured destruction" final contingency provided by The Leader, the Eternals were incredibly confident in their impending victory!
...
Meanwhile, inside an undisclosed, heavily fortified military black site.
Colonel William Stryker, Dr. Reed Richards, Dr. Samuel Sterns, and Dr. Ivan Vanko stood before a massive holographic display, watching the live satellite feed of the impending cosmic clash.
The Leader had successfully manipulated the Eternals, providing them with massively upgraded, randomized-frequency Spatial Disruptors, Mutant Inhibitors, and Reed Richards' ultimate invention: the Phoenix-infused molecular decomposition blades!
However, their true objective was absolutely not for the Eternals to succeed in killing the White Demon.
Unlike the arrogant cosmic immortals, the four men in the bunker had studied the White Demon's continuous evolution. They understood the true, absolute terror he represented!
Based on Reed's calculations, even if every single Eternal possessed the exact same raw power as Ikaris, and even with the upgraded gear, they still couldn't defeat the White Demon. Even if they triggered the apocalyptic "final contingency" and sacrificed their own lives, it was mathematically impossible for them to secure a kill!
No, their objective was purely data collection.
They wanted to measure the exact effectiveness of the randomized-frequency devices against the White Demon's adaptive defenses. They wanted to record his current upper limits when pressured by multiple cosmic entities.
They intended to use this absolute, priceless combat telemetry to perfectly calibrate and optimize their ultimate weapon: the Red Hulk!
That was their true final contingency!
In their tactical simulations, they were absolutely certain the Eternals would eventually be pushed to the brink and detonate the suicide-contingency, burning their own cosmic lifespans to generate an apocalyptic strike. And in doing so, they would provide the geniuses with the most valuable, absolute data imaginable!
To these super-geniuses, knowledge was power. That wasn't a metaphor; it was a literal, undeniable fact!
...
Su Mu continued to glide over the ocean, finally coming to a halt roughly 500 kilometers away from his Malibu mansion.
This should be far enough. The collateral damage won't scratch the paint on my house now.
He stood casually on the surface of the water, looking up at the bizarre alien vessel tailing him.
The monolithic ship decelerated from hyper-sonic speeds to absolute stillness in a fraction of a microsecond, completely and impossibly defying all laws of inertia!
A woman clad in emerald-green cosmic armor teleported out of the ship and plummeted toward the ocean. The exact microsecond the soles of her boots touched the water, a terrifying, absolute conceptual transformation occurred!
Starting from the point of contact, the churning seawater instantaneously transmuted into solid, unyielding rock! Within seconds, the conceptual petrification spread outward for miles, forging a massive, solid island of stone right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
This was Sersi, the Eternal possessing the absolute power of matter transmutation!
Following Sersi, the rest of the Eternals teleported down from the ship, landing on the newly created island.
Thena, who could forge absolute, indestructible cosmic energy weapons at will.
Sprite, the master of hyper-realistic illusions.
Makkari, the cosmic speedster.
Gilgamesh, possessing absolute, planet-shaking physical strength.
Kingo, who fired concentrated blasts of cosmic energy.
Phastos, the master inventor and technopath.
Druig, the planetary-level telepath.
And finally, Ajak, the Prime Eternal, possessing absolute cosmic healing.
This was the complete roster of the cosmic guardians dispatched by the Celestials to protect humanity and ensure the eventual "Emergence"!
Any single one of these Eternals possessed apocalyptic, god-like power. If they chose to work together to conquer Earth, they could subjugate the entire planet in an afternoon.
Even a cosmic overlord like Thanos, if ambushed by the combined might of the Eternals, would be brutally and decisively slaughtered!
For thousands of years, they had operated independently, slaughtering the monstrous Deviants to protect primitive humanity. Never once had they assembled their full might to execute a single, coordinated strike on one individual.
But today, they stood united against a single, supposedly "primitive" mutant—a genetic descendant of the Deviants they had hunted for millennia.
Yet, looking at the scene, the dynamic was completely inverted. It didn't look like the Eternals were surrounding Su Mu. It looked like the White Demon was casually surrounding them!
As the Prime Eternal, Ajak stepped forward, her expression stern and absolute.
"Lowly mutant!" Ajak declared, her voice echoing with cosmic authority. "You dared to murder a champion of the Eternals! Today, you shall pay for your absolute sin!"
Hearing Ajak's self-righteous cosmic posturing, Su Mu snorted in profound contempt.
"The 'Great Eternals,' huh?" Su Mu mocked lazily. "Aren't you all just a bunch of pathetic, mass-produced tools? Brainwashed biological robots deployed by the Celestials to fertilize planets for their giant space-babies?"
"You—!"
Ajak's eyes widened in absolute, paralyzing horror. The exact same shock that had consumed Ikaris before his death washed over her!
How could a mere Earth mutant possibly know the absolute, classified cosmic truth of their existence?! A truth that even the rest of her team was entirely unaware of!
!!!
Sensing the violent, uncontrollable spike of panic in Ajak's mind, Druig—the telepath—instantly realized the horrifying truth: the mutant wasn't lying!
Druig stared at Ajak in absolute betrayal and shock. But before he could demand answers, Ajak cut him off.
"We will discuss this after we execute the White Demon! I swear I will tell you everything!" Ajak yelled desperately.
Terrified of what else Su Mu might casually reveal, Ajak immediately activated the specialized tech provided by The Leader.
Hidden devices within their ship flared to life! The Spatial Disruptors and Mutant Inhibitors activated on randomized, constantly shifting frequencies, specifically designed to prevent Su Mu's adaptive capabilities from deciphering and neutralizing the suppression field!
Simultaneously, every single Eternal drew a sleek, high-tech hilt. With a synchronized hiss, searing, Phoenix-infused molecular decomposition blades ignited in their hands!
Armed with cosmic power and absolute, anti-mutant technology, they were entirely certain of their victory!
