The wind and sand are overflowing, and the wasteland is vast.

The little white girl with short blonde hair stood on the loess slope in a daze for a long time, and the regret and helplessness in her eyes did not look like the look of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.

The woman next to her walked up and patted her on the shoulder, her long black hair gently blown by the wind and sand, and she was dressed in a denim jacket and trousers and boots, which was very suitable for the wilderness of the West.

The little girl suddenly had her hands flat, and countless golden lines suddenly appeared in the void, forming a framework of buildings and pavilions and plants and flowers.

In the next moment, a towering and quaint but magnificent sky garden appeared out of thin air.

The grass is full of flowers, the marble-like pure white stone pillars and walls are full of gorgeous patterns and patterns, and the sculptures in the shape of humans or birds and beasts are lifelike, and one of them, a short-haired girl in a short robe, is very similar to this little girl in the wasteland.

"Ajak, five centuries have passed... After they were separated in the Aztec Empire's city of Tenochtitlan, they never returned. 「

"Yes, it was 1521, when the Spaniards conquered the Aztec Empire, I didn't expect you to be so impressed by the hanging gardens of Babylon, I almost forgot how prosperous and magnificent this place was..."

Ajak, who looked a little like an Indian woman, looked at the ruins of the Hanging Gardens of ancient Babylon in Iraq after the removal of the illusion.

It is now a pure wilderness, and there is not even a half of the stone pillar or the broken wall left.

In the distance, the engine of a jeep was heard, and a long loess dragon roared, and a helicopter flew overhead, also slowly hovering down.

"It should be Sersi and Ginger, I don't want to pay attention to Ginger, he left me in Macedonia!"

The little girl looked a little childish when she was angry, and she took the initiative to run to the jeep and hugged a beautiful yellow-skinned woman who came down, and there was a fat black man and a gloomy white young man sitting in the car.

"Ajak..."

Several people gathered around the woman named Ajak, including the thick-eyed Indian who had disembarked from the helicopter, and they all bowed their heads visibly with respect, as if she were the most prestigious leader of the group.

"Sersi, Druid, Fastos, and Ginger, long time no see."

Ajak also bowed his head and greeted the four of them, and the woman named Sersi smiled softly, hugged the little girl and said

"Spett, didn't you say you'd go live with me for decades... By the way, Ajak, why didn't you see Gilgamesh and Tina..."

"Deliberately didn't mention Ikaris, oh Sesi! Hehe, I was going to look for you in two years, maybe I'll run away one day as soon as I get angry with Ajak, but if the druids hadn't informed us, we wouldn't have had such an opportunity to get together..."

As they walked towards the depths of the barren plain, the Indian man with thick eyebrows began to talk to the fat black man and the gloomy man beside him all the time.

"Druid, what's going on with that village in the Amazon rainforest? So many traces of life can't be erased! And Fastos, where have you been all these years, you have said that those atomic bombs have nothing to do with you, and that human killing tools will evolve in the future......

Neither of them wanted to deal with the Indian named Ginger, and the fat black looking Fastos held his hands in a clump of gold-drawn silk threads between his palms, and the delicate and fine parts looked particularly complicated.

The earth of the wasteland trembled violently, and the cracks in the earth and rocks immediately disintegrated and collapsed, forming a huge triangular pit.

A vague shadow suddenly flashed in front of the six people, and a dark-skinned woman with long pigtails in a ponytail flashed out, holding sign language that only the deaf and dumb can use, happily greeting everyone.

Eventually, a flat, triangular cube floated from the crumbling ground, shimmering with golden streaks under the control of a remote control in Fastos's hand, as if some kind of machine had been activated.

"Ah! Macari, I don't know how you can stand it

I've been on the Tama, oh... See, you often run out to play..."

Ginger and the deaf and mute woman Makari who moved quickly communicated in sign language, and the leader of the group, Ajak, looked at a black dot in the distant sky that was suddenly approaching, nodded heartily, and finally said relaxedly

"Ikares has brought Tina and Gilgamesh as well, let's go in first."

A handsome black-haired white man broke through the sky, leaving behind a fat yellow-skinned man and a woman with long white gold hair, who was exceptionally heroic and beautiful.

The three of them landed on the giant spaceship floating in the air, nodded to everyone, and walked through the crack in the roof of the spaceship.

As everyone was ingested by the spaceship named "Tama", the air trembled slightly, and there was no sound of breaking the air or repulsive pressure caused by the propulsion of any flying engines, and it suddenly disappeared without a trace.

………

Ten men stood in the central hall of the ship, next to the sculpture of a giant with blood-red, slender limbs, and a somewhat strange shape with a somewhat mechanical and rocky texture.

They looked at the solemn red giant statue in the middle, and the blue and black walls behind them lit up with gold threads,—— wrapping around everyone's bodies.

Whatever kind of clothing they wear, they have been molded into a delicately fitting armor, although the color and ornamentation of the armor vary from one to the other.

However, the style is in the same vein, and the aesthetic style of the "Tama" spacecraft, which has been hovering in the universe and looking at the blue earth from afar, is also the same.

Ajak, the only one with a crown-like helmet that signified the identity of the leader, led everyone to sit around the red statue and spoke solemnly.

"In terms of the time span of the earth, it's almost 7,000 years... This generation of Homo sapiens evolved from the plains of Mesopotamia to the modern human race that now has billions of people in the world, and our task as the Eternals is almost complete..."

"Hmph, so we have to spend the last few decades in the Tama until we receive the signal to return to Olympia? For a human so-called arrogant "transcendent assembly, we are eternal—"

"Ikaris!"

Ajak interrupted the man's words in a solemn voice, and the heroic man named Ikares stared at Ajak with burning eyes, faintly provoking the woman's leadership.

"Ikaris, you're well aware of our mission, well... At this stage, we must not clash with James Howlett, and the power of the mutant leader and his personal prowess cannot be ignored!"

Ajak seemed to mean what Icaris said, and his words were full of hints, and he finally lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, and continued to speak

"For us, time is meaningless, we haven't seen each other for almost five hundred years, but it seems like only five months have passed, I believe that the waiting time will not be sad, and in a few years, this Mr. Howlett's global search will come to an end, and we can still return to Earth."

The female leader looked at Sersi and Fastos, and her last words consciously comforted them, thousands of years of entangled life with the human world, and many Eternals have feelings and dependence on this world.

Even Ajak himself is trying his best to restrain this emotion, and when it comes to his firm will to carry out the "mission", Icaris is the best.

"We've left so many traces on Earth, my rainforest village alone has been searched by that psychic power, myths and legends, cryptic accounts of mystical mages, and the actions of a man like Ginger who has played three generations of movie stars..."

「… To tell you the truth, I like this Howlett very much, if it wasn't for you to stop me in the first place, I would have controlled the minds of all mankind and made them completely cut off war and contradictions!"

The druid, who had always been gloomy, didn't seem to like to talk, but he poured out the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for thousands of years.

As the direct contributor to the separation of the Ten after the end of the battle to exterminate the mutants, he has always opposed the iron rule of the Eternals that cannot interfere with the independent development of human beings.

pander to

Jake ignored the druid's venting speech, and instead looked at Tina, who had long white blonde hair and was as heroic as a goddess of war, and said with concern

"How are you and Gilgamesh doing all these years, I'll check on your condition later, and when I return to my home planet, I'm sure I can solve the problem of eternal demons."

Tina, dressed in a golden armor dress, was worshipped by the ancient Greeks as the prototype of the goddess Athena for a long time.

She got up and paced out, and the metal walls of the Tama slowly faded and became as transparent as glass, and she could clearly see the blue earth in the distance.

"Ajak. I don't know if I'll be cured of the Eternal Demon Disease after I return, and I even have a strange feeling that I find ridiculous, that everything seems to be false, that even the home planet, even what we do, seems to be unreal......

The leader Ajak listened to Tina's muttering words, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and she vaguely made eye contact with Ikaris for a moment, but fortunately, the out-of-character Ginger broke the embarrassment.

"I know! My psychiatrist told me about this kind of case, doubting reality is one of the most terrible mental problems, and some people will even commit suicide to try to prove whether the reality they live in is... True..「

He looked at the muscular Gilgamesh and squeezed his fist at him with an unkind face, and closed his mouth in a smaller and smaller voice.

For hundreds of years after the goddess of war Tina suffered from eternal demonic disease, Gilgamesh, who had the strongest body and striking ability, took care of and suppressed Tina's desire to kill in a rage, and the relationship between the two was like that of human brothers and sisters.

Spat who has lived for nearly 7,000 years and still looks like a little girl, suddenly looked curiously at Sercy, who was dressed in green armor, and asked

"Haven't you always lived in the metropolis of America? Is this Howlett really that strong? I know he beheaded N'Saba Noor, and the druid suggested that this mutant trying to rule all of humanity would affect our mission... But... I don't believe he can match Ikaris! 「

Spat spoke highly of Ikaris, and she looked at Sersi and smiled noncommittally, and instead of answering directly, she asked a question that had puzzled all Eternals for a long time.

"Ajak, do you think mutants... And our power, much like that? 「
