After the Zetarian invasion ended, Oakes was contacted by Matt and told him about the events of Zhuke.

Although I want to complain that this guy has been squatting in New York for a few months, he has no time to pay attention to him now.

Although this guy resisted Alithum's orders, he still had to obey them, so strictly speaking, he was not dangerous at all.

During the seven thousand years of the Eternals' stay on Earth, what Oakes now knows, and may have intersected with, is Asgard and the Mage Retreat.

But the previous meeting with Thor was too hasty, and he had never thought of this problem, and now that he saw the ancient one, he naturally couldn't miss it.

"Eternals...... Do you know them? ”

The fan in Guyi's hand waved a few times, then turned around and sat back on the sofa:

"It's a bunch of ...... Interesting guy. ”

"Actually, I've met one of them."

Oakes rubbed his hands and glanced at the coffee cup in front of him:

"Uh...... It seems that this is quite a long story, if the Supreme Mage doesn't like coffee, what other drink do you need? ”

"Is there any juice?"

“…… I thought you'd like tea and stuff like that. ”

Oakes turned to leave, carrying a large box of acorns, a drink of various flavors, and placing them on the table:

"All natural."

"Oh, I've seen this thing, and my disciples love it."

Gu Yi put away the fan with a "swish", skillfully picked up one, and grabbed the straw handle:

"It's just that it's inconvenient to add ice cubes."

“……”

Oakes said that it is worthy of the Supreme Mage who installed wifi in Kama Taj:

"Well, I'll escalate if I have a chance, but in the previous war, there was an Eternals in New York—

This is the same one I saw before, and he has the ability to control minds. ”

"Mind control...... Indeed, there is such an Eternal. ”

Gu Yi took a sip of his drink and nodded slightly:

"But they had a fight before, and it was with the will of this one as the fuse-

I remember it was when the Aztec Empire fell, five hundred years ago. ”

"With the will of Zhuke as the fuse?"

Oakes really didn't know there was such a thing:

He did say that he and his companions ...... The relationship is not very good.

I met him in the Amazon rainforest. ”

At the moment, Oakes told the Ancient One about what happened to Zhuke, as well as the results of his own research, and this time it was the Ancient One's turn to be surprised:

"AI autonomous robots that have existed for more than a million years? Are you serious about this conclusion? ”

"Unfortunately, judging by the power and knowledge at my disposal, this is the case."

Oakes shrugged, and although he felt incredible, he still compared and analyzed the data repeatedly, and the conclusions were all consistent.

“…… This group of people is an important part of the origins of Greek mythology and Sumerian mythology, as well as scattered ruins that have been circulated around the world -

They have had some influence on human history, but not much.

By the time I became Supreme Mage, they had all but vanished.

The last time they were shown to the world was perhaps the fall of the Aztec civilization. ”

The Supreme Mage slowly told Oakes what she knew about the Eternals:

"It is precisely because of this that I have almost no intersection with them, except that the Supreme Holy has some information about them—

Their threat to the earth is almost zero, but I didn't expect their essence to turn out to be like this. ”

"So now, the Supreme Mage's opinion of them has changed?"

Oakes noticed a change in the tone of the ancient one:

"Since they are some kind of being, then they must have a master, the Celestial Supreme Alitham who is their creator?

Olympia star, is their headquarters? There are also mutants, although I haven't seen any samples, but according to Zhuke, I always feel that there is something strange in them.

They don't know what they are or why they're still on Earth, and it seems to me that the mutants are likely to be from the same place as them. ”

"Your concerns are very reasonable, the matter involves the Celestial Group, and this group of mysterious beings is very good at creation."

Small kiosk app

The Ancient One listened quietly to Oakes' analysis, then shook his head:

"But the purpose of the Celestial Group is not clear, as long as they don't directly attack the earth, I can't deal with it in advance."

She glanced at Oakes, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in her eyes:

"There are a lot of things, even though I know the end, I can't intervene until it actually happens."

"Including this alien invasion?"

Oakes stared at the Ancient One and paused:

"Also...... Including that surgeon five years later? Or even something more dangerous?

With your ability, Supreme Mage, you must have seen the battle in New York this time......

Why not stop Loki? Even after the disaster, you didn't have the intention of taking the initiative to join the fight? ”

Gu Yi was silent for a moment, stood up again, put away the folding fan and tapped it in his hand:

"Nipping all dangers in the limited known will lead to a greater concentrated outbreak of danger in the unknown—

That could have avoided many tragedies, but it could also have caused even greater disasters.

And without the heroes who have grown up through hardships and dangers in the process, in the end, no one will be able to deal with the unknown dangers.

As I have shown you before, there are always inevitable points in the flow of time, and while they are not as unbreakable as the 'absolute point in time', it is likely that changing them rashly will have consequences that we cannot afford.

I can't end other people's fates before they even begin—

That will inevitably lead to a backlash of fate. ”

Ancient One steps into the portal:

"By the way, enjoy your trip to Asgard...... Maybe...... It will be interesting. ”

“…… I understand. ”

Watching the figure of the Supreme Mage step through the portal and disappear, Oakes sat back on the couch—

He finally understood why the ancient one took a "blessed" attitude towards many things on the ball.

Even the battle in New York that has just passed, if she is willing to go all out, I believe it can be solved soon.

But she only helped a little at Oakes' request.

Like she said, if she shot directly, would it expose the existence of the Time Stone?

She didn't even care about the mind gem that was taken away by S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Now it makes sense.

Moreover, the Supreme Mage is not omniscient and omnipotent, she knows this clearly.

Then again, it's a traverser-like perspective.

All in all, the meaning of the Ancient One is to do the present well, and since the Eternals themselves are also looking for the meaning of their existence, they might as well wait and see.

"Ah...... I forgot to ask her what the rest of the Eternals are capable of, so that she can recognize them if she sees them. ”

Oakes let out a sigh of relief, and now he can prepare to go to Asgard, as for Avalon...... Wait for him to come back.

Ready to take a sip of juice and relax, Oakes' outstretched hand froze—the table was empty.

"Where's my acorn!"
