Oakes agrees with Zhuke that this reason should indeed be hidden in human civilization.

Because the order of the Celestial Group Aritam is to let them protect human civilization from the invasion of mutants and develop normally.

There are two key points in this.

First, the aggression of mutants against humans.

But five hundred years ago, the Eternals had wiped out the mutants, as they themselves say.

The second is the development of human civilization.

Now that the mutants have been wiped out, is it because human civilization has not yet developed to the point that Aritham's requirements have not recalled the Eternals?

Why does Aritham have requirements for the development of human civilization?

What is the standard for this requirement?

All this is unknown to the Eternals themselves.

But this is obviously not something that the Eternals can figure out by living alone and thinking independently.

They have been thinking about it for five hundred years.

"Don't worry, I won't exert my influence on the human world, that's against Alithum's orders."

Zhuke seemed to see what Oakes was trying to say, and he laughed self-deprecatingly, and changed back to that ruffian appearance:

"I'm not going to gather other people, I don't have a good relationship with them...... When it comes to attitudes toward human beings, we have a lot of differences. ”

"So I'll find the answer myself, and you don't have to think that I can find someone else."

“……”

The corners of Oakes' mouth twitched, and he scratched his hair:

"Well, it's worthy of the Eternals who control people's hearts, so I hope you can find the answer soon-

As a member of the human race, I am in awe of the 'Celestial Group' you describe.

If they want to do something to humanity, we have no power to resist right now, and I don't like it, and neither does humanity. ”

The corners of his mouth hooked up with a sarcastic sneer:

"It's not like you're not without any influence on human civilization...... At least the absurd myths and religions that 'mankind must rely on God for salvation' finally came from here.

But now, humanity will understand that there has never been a savior—

Humanity can only save itself by itself! ”

"I understand, at this point ......"

Zhu Ke paused and smiled bitterly:

"I feel the same way I do you right now, and it's a reflection of us Eternals ourselves."

"Goodbye then, Oakes...... Hopefully I'll see you again when I find out. ”

“…… If you mean longevity, it shouldn't be a big deal. ”

Oakes' fingertips wrapped around a cloud of emerald green energy, and then turned into a cloud of energy that shone with a little starlight—

Zhuke is familiar with this energy.

"Don't forget, cosmic energy is not exclusive to you, and there are other human beings besides me who can control this energy.

Humanity is a race full of uncanny things. ”

“……”

Zhuke gave Oaks a deep look, nodded slightly, and resolutely turned to leave.

"You have earned my respect, and I will remember your help to the Eternals."

……

Zhuke left, and Oakes counted the time, it was already March.

During the period of "studying" Zhuke, Oakes did not stop controlling the Amazon rainforest.

Now, the entire Amazon rainforest has become his backing-

Next, we can rely on the powerful influence of the "lungs of the earth" to further expand the control of the forces of nature in the ecosystem.

And now, he finally has the power of nature strong enough to balance the astral energy and try to practice stronger balance spells.

By the way, through Zhu Ke's "research", he also managed to peek into a little bit of the mystery of his control of cosmic energy-

This helped him further strengthen his mental power and improve his control over the energy of the astral plane.

"It's time to shift positions next, the rainforest environment is not suitable for cultivating balance spells."

The rainforest environment, where it rains six out of ten days, is obviously not able to channel the energy of the astral plane with the highest efficiency.

Originally, I thought that Thanos was the biggest threat, but now ......

The Celestial Group, the existence of the "True Celestials" that existed at the beginning of the universe, further expanded Oakes' worldview above the Nine Realms of Asgard.

This kind of existence can directly pinch and explode the planet, and if they want to do something to the earth, they don't even have a chance to resist.

You must strengthen your strength as soon as possible, step into the universe, and learn more about the Celestial Group!

He vaguely remembered that the "Collector" of the Void had shown Star-Lord and the others the scene of the Celestials using the Power Gems, and the Void itself ......

It's the head of a "god"!

"There's still time to ......"

Oakes' gaze was to the southwest.

"In South America, there are great stargazing spots...... With such a close distance, the support provided to me by the Amazon rainforest will be extremely impressive. ”

……

Atacama Desert, Chile, South America.

It is known as "the driest desert in the world", the "dry pole" of the world, and the "Mars of the earth".

This climate, combined with the 5,000-metre altitude of the Andes, makes the skies clear and cloudless, making it one of the best stargazing spots in the world.

So, there are large and small observatories scattered here, and NASA even tests space rovers here.

In this environment, similar to New Mexico, the Force of Nature has a small bonus to life-based healing spells, but it is not less effective against environment-based balancing spells such as wind and lightning.

"There are too many observatories here."

Oakes smacked his lips, and his current location was the Atacama Observatory, known as the "world's highest observatory".

Well, it's made in Japan.

"Forget it, maybe they'll catch some weird astrological signs...... But it won't be as obvious as New Mexico's. ”

He will use the power of the Amazon rainforest to shield the celestial anomalies here as much as possible, but he will certainly not be able to completely prevent leaks.

Whatever meteorologists think, let them go......

So, Oakes took Moco and Coco to start the cultivation of the most efficient balance spell so far in this desert with similar meteorological conditions to Mars.

Daylight, moonlight, starlight, astral energy free in the universe and between stars, Oaks is in the constant balance of natural energy and astral energy, and at the same time deepens the link with the earth's ecosphere.

And one day, more than two months later, Oakes suddenly discovered that the essence of nature he had condensed had produced a wonderful fusion with the astral energy through the way a part of Zhuke controlled the cosmic energy.

His consciousness rises uncontrollably, and the "vision" seems to be rising with the rise of consciousness-

Below the stars, above the earth, the astral energy and the natural energy formed a wonderful balance at the condensation point of his consciousness.

But just as Oakes was about to comprehend this state, a special energy suddenly appeared!

"Wang!"

"Meow?"

Moco and Coco, who were resting on their stomachs, noticed Oakes' abnormality and screamed wildly into the air.

But after a moment, they were confused—

Oakes' consciousness has disappeared from that position!
