Ambush

"God."

The Farmers watched the planet being gradually destroyed, tears streaming down their faces. Golden Rice Star was gone. What would they do from now on? "Don’t worry. Earth will compensate for these losses, and Xandar will help you rebuild your home."

Loki comforted them, though there was a trace of mockery on her face. Those Super Heroes, just like the Blood God, were all rather ‘stupid.’

The planets the Super Heroes chose were all agricultural worlds with relatively small populations and advanced technology—only on such planets could they ensure the Farmers’ safety.

Robbery was already bad enough. The Super Heroes did not want innocent people caught up in it.

Incidentally, although these people were Farmers, they were mainly responsible for operating and repairing machinery, making them quite different from Farmers on Earth.

The Farmers were astonished by Loki’s reassurance. These robbers were completely unlike what they had imagined. One Farmer could not help asking, "Who exactly are you?"

"Who are we? Super Heroes, of course."

Loki laughed. Looking at the burning planet, he said, "This battle will be over soon."

A Farmer asked in confusion, "How do you know it’s almost over?"

"Because most of the food has already burned."

Loki spread his hands. At that moment, S Makkari, who had circled the planet dozens of times, appeared on the battlefield. She laughed loudly. "Iron Man, you’re still slower than me. I burned all the food."

Old Tony appeared before S Makkari and said coldly, "You’ll suffer retribution."

"Who can punish us? We’re gods."

S Makkari sneered and merged into space, preparing to take everyone away. "I hope you can catch up with me next time."

Just then, S Makkari suddenly could neither hear nor see anything. Even her senses had stopped working.

S Makkari was startled. S Sprite had arrived. Just as she tried to merge into space, a powerful force bounced her out of it. Old Tony had used the Space Stone.

"I’ve waited a long time for this moment."

Old Tony grinned viciously, clasped his hands together, and blasted the purple radiance of the Power Stone fiercely at S Makkari. S Makkari was slammed into the ground, sinking downward amid rumbling explosions.

At the same time S Makkari was ambushed, Tina appeared on the battlefield. She became one with her spear, streaking through time and space like a golden flash as she charged at S Kingo at top speed.

S Kingo sensed Tina’s powerful energy fluctuations, and his expression changed. He hurriedly turned and fired a massive golden beam of light at Tina.

Tina shouted and smashed through the golden beam with unstoppable force, continuing her charge toward S Kingo.

Seeing this, Tony and the others launched their attacks. Several barrel-thick lasers, along with Steve’s Thor’s Hammer, smashed fiercely toward S Kingo.

S Kingo roared. His entire body erupted with blazing radiance like the sun, and countless golden energy beams shot densely in every direction.

"Fuck."

Everyone cursed and hurriedly ducked behind Steve. Steve shouted, raised his shield, and did everything he could to protect them.

"I never expected Kingo to become this powerful after becoming an Ancient God. Used properly, this move could even destroy a planet."

Tina helplessly stopped her charge and turned her spear into a shield to block S Kingo’s ultimate attack.

Elsewhere, Sersi silently appeared behind S Gilgamesh. Then she raised her right hand and lightly slapped S Gilgamesh’s back—she had turned herself into air and merged with the air.

S Gilgamesh sensed something was wrong and turned to strike Sersi in the chest. Sersi turned into air and dispersed, but her right hand still touched S Gilgamesh’s shoulder. S Gilgamesh’s shoulder rapidly turned into air.

"Not a chance."

S Gilgamesh roared. His shoulder exploded with a bang, blasting Sersi’s power away. Then a layer of energy wrapped around his wound and slowly restored it.

At that moment, Captain Marvel rushed behind S Gilgamesh. Boundless spatial energy condensed into a Space Blade, which slashed fiercely at S Gilgamesh’s head, nearly splitting the entire void in two.

S Gilgamesh did not dare be careless and hurriedly raised both hands to catch Captain Marvel’s Space Blade. At that moment, Sersi appeared again and placed both hands on S Gilgamesh’s back. S Gilgamesh abruptly turned into a towering tree, even his hands becoming branches.

S Gilgamesh screamed. Captain Marvel seized the opportunity and brought down the Space Blade with force, instantly splitting S Gilgamesh in two.

However, S Gilgamesh did not die. He roared, and his body suddenly exploded, blasting Captain Marvel and Sersi away.

Immediately afterward, S Gilgamesh’s flesh and blood gathered again in the air, returning him to his original form, though he was clearly much weaker than before.

Captain Marvel steadied herself in midair and attacked S Gilgamesh again. Strike while he was weak and finish him off.

S Druig was also ambushed—by Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh swung his fist, delivering a punch that carried distorted space as it slammed fiercely toward S Druig.

S Druig was terrified out of his wits, but he had no time to dodge. At that moment, two lasers shot over from the side and blasted Gilgamesh away. S Ikaris had returned.

S Ikaris then fired lasers at Old Tony, hoping to rescue S Makkari. Seeing this, Old Tony used the Space Stone to transfer S Ikaris’s lasers away. At the same time, he continued bombarding S Makkari, trying to kill her completely.

S Ikaris was about to attack again when Thor caught up. Stormbreaker pointed toward the sky, and countless bolts of lightning crashed down from the dark, overcast heavens at S Ikaris.

S Ikaris had no choice but to fire lasers first to deal with the lightning. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he waved his right hand, and a gigantic spaceship descended from the sky, crashing toward the ground like a meteorite.

"This ship is loaded with countless High-Energy Bombs. If it lands on Golden Rice Star, Golden Rice Star will collapse completely. Then all of you Super Heroes and those Farmers will die."

S Ikaris sneered. The Super Heroes were softhearted, so this kind of tactic could not be more effective against them.

Their opponent was the Blood God. The strongest Celestial Group naturally did not dare let down their guard, and they had prepared many methods in advance.

"What?"

Everyone’s expressions shifted slightly. Thor immediately gave up on S Ikaris to stop the spaceship, and Gilgamesh followed after him.

Old Tony hesitated for a moment, then continued bombarding S Makkari below. At that moment, S Ikaris raised both hands. The ground shook violently, and countless streams of magma erupted, blasting toward Old Tony and the other Super Heroes like cannonballs.

Old Tony had no choice but to use the Space Stone to transfer the magma shells away, while the other Super Heroes dodged in every direction somewhat awkwardly.

S Ikaris took the opportunity to punch the ground. The surrounding terrain shattered with a boom, and S Makkari used the force of the punch to escape the Power Stone’s attack range. Then, with a Teleportation, she arrived beside S Ikaris.

"Iron Man!"

Her hair disheveled and her body somewhat deformed, S Makkari wore a savage expression. Just as she was about to attack Old Tony, S Ikaris shouted, "Makkari, gather everyone together first."

"Fine."

S Makkari glared at Old Tony, then activated her ability to gather the strongest Eternals together.

Once everyone was safe, they could not help sighing in relief. The situation had been extremely dangerous. If things had dragged on any longer, they might have lost their lives.

"Damn it."

Their efforts had come to nothing, and Old Tony’s expression was extremely ugly. Captain Marvel, Strange, Tina, and the others flew to his side one after another, confronting the strongest Eternals.

"You finally came."

S Ikaris looked at Tina and the others with admiration. "The Blood God really is impressive. He actually removed the restrictions on you."

In fact, S Ikaris had always been on guard against an ambush by the female Eternals. That was why he had reacted so quickly.

However, S Ikaris had not expected the Blood God to be able to remove the restrictions on the female Eternals. If they had not prepared beforehand, the strongest Eternals might truly have suffered casualties this time.

It was worth mentioning that, in S Ikaris and the others’ eyes, Tina and the others were all strongest Eternals—their auras were identical to before.

"What a pity none of you died. We prepared for so long for nothing."

Tina said regretfully, "Ancient Gods really are hard to kill."

Everyone nodded. They had blown S Gilgamesh apart, yet he had still not died.

"Ancient Gods are naturally hard to kill," S Ikaris said. "They are beings second only to Creator Gods in the universe. In fact, few Ancient Gods in the universe ever die. Most are merely sealed away, such as that unlucky Symbiote God."

"Why are you rambling about something so far off?"

Gilgamesh snorted. "None of you will escape today."

"That’s right. None of you will escape."

Old Tony summoned the Space Stone and completely sealed off Golden Rice Star’s space. With Tina and the others helping, they would definitely be able to keep S Ikaris and those bastards here this time.

"Why would we run?"

S Ikaris scoffed. "I told you, I’ve waited a long time for this day. Today, the only ones who will die are you."

With that, S Ikaris took a purple crystal from his robes. The crystal then lit up with dazzling purple light. When the female Eternals were illuminated by the purple light, they were first dazed, then clutched their heads in pain, as if two people were fighting inside their minds.

The Super Heroes and Gilgamesh had no reaction at all. Old Tony asked in shock and fury, "What did you do?"

"Starfox’s ability was also granted by the Celestial Group."

S Ikaris laughed loudly. "Since the Celestial Group can grant it, they can naturally remove it as well. Tina, Sprite, Sersi, come back at once."

S Druig laughed as well. "You’re not surrounding us. We’re surrounding you."

Hearing S Ikaris’s shout, the three agonized women—Tina, Sprite, and Sersi—immediately flew toward S Ikaris and the others. Everyone’s expressions changed, and they hurriedly tried to stop them.

Sersi raised her hand and turned time into flowing water, returning to S Ikaris and the others as though she had accelerated.

"Now I’ll restore you completely."

S Ikaris walked up to Sersi, preparing to completely remove the charm control from her. At that moment, the pain on Sersi’s face suddenly vanished. Then, with her hand like a sharp blade, she thrust it straight into S Ikaris’s chest.

S Ikaris stared at Sersi in disbelief. Starting from his chest, his body rapidly turned into red crystal. S Makkari was horrified and immediately charged at Sersi, preparing to knock her away.

Tina immediately raised a golden shield beside Sersi. With a bang, S Makkari was bounced back and nearly fell over.

S Gilgamesh rushed forward, punching Tina’s shield fiercely while roaring, "Tina, you’ve regained your senses. Why are you still helping the Blood God?"

"Because I am Earth’s Tina, not the Tina of your strongest Eternals."

Tina sneered. As Old Tony and the others rushed over, they laughed. "A bunch of idiots. You think you can scheme against us?"

"That’s impossible! How could Earth’s Tina possess Ancient God-level strength?"

S Gilgamesh shouted in disbelief. The other strongest Eternals felt the same. In their eyes, Earth’s Eternals were nothing but ants.

Even as they reeled in shock, the strongest Eternals attacked one after another, trying to rescue S Ikaris. Old Tony and the others did everything they could to stop them. If they killed S Ikaris, this battle would become much easier.

Thus, the Super Heroes and the strongest Eternals fought fiercely around Sersi and S Ikaris. Not only space, but even time descended into chaos.

As Sersi did everything she could to alter S Ikaris’s body, she answered calmly, "There’s nothing impossible about it. The strongest Tina and the others have already been fused with us."

S Ikaris shouted again, "Impossible! With your willpower, how could you possibly fuse with the strongest Sersi?"

"Why is it impossible? You strongest Eternals are merely incarnations of negative emotions, while we Earth Eternals understand love and protection."

Sersi sneered. "Fusing with you was absurdly easy. Evil can never defeat justice. Love is the strongest power in this universe."

"What utter nonsense. You think you can transform me? Dream on. Don’t forget, I am the strongest Eternal."

S Ikaris roared, and his body temperature rose sharply. Sersi’s hand rapidly burned black, while S Ikaris’s body stopped changing.

Enduring the pain, Sersi shouted, "If one me isn’t enough, what about two?"

As Sersi spoke, another Sersi appeared behind S Ikaris. She placed both hands on S Ikaris’s shoulders, and his shoulders immediately began crystallizing.

"Two Sersis?"

S Ikaris was stunned. Then he turned toward Sprite and roared, "Sprite, was this your doing?"

"Of course it was me. And by the way, although I’m beautiful and well-endowed, I really am Earth’s Sprite."

Sprite said smugly. Sersi could not help rolling her eyes. Ever since she had grown up, Sprite had constantly flaunted her looks and figure. It could not be helped. She had spent over seven thousand years as a little girl, and now she had finally grown up.

The reason there was another Sersi was Sprite’s ability—Make Illusion Real. Simply put, it turned a phantom into reality, creating a copy of Sersi.

Under the assault of the two Sersis, S Ikaris rapidly crystallized. He threw his head back and roared as his body shone like the sun, blazing with dazzling light. The surrounding temperature rose sharply, even burning away time and space.

Neither Sersi nor Sprite retreated. Enduring the intense heat, they continued transforming S Ikaris. They knew perfectly well that this was their best opportunity. If they missed it, their strength alone could never defeat S Ikaris.

With the two women’s efforts, S Ikaris’s entire surface turned into red crystal. The surrounding temperature rapidly fell. Sersi and Sprite were overjoyed and accelerated, striving to crystallize S Ikaris’s body completely.

"No, save me!"

S Ikaris began to panic and shouted for help. The strongest Eternals were both shocked and enraged, attacking desperately, yet they could not break through Old Tony and the others’ defenses.

Whether in strength or conviction, Old Tony and the others would not lose to the strongest Eternals.
