Chapter 733
"This... this isn't real... it's not real..." Thena lay on the ground, whispering with lifeless eyes.
Sometimes, the truth is more hurtful than lies.
Thanks to Su Quan's help, the messy memories were sorted and organized; although incomplete and unsystematic, the sporadic moments were enough for Thena to understand the truth of the matter.
They were created by the Celestials, and the Olympia in their memories was not real, nor was it their home planet, but the ship that created them.
Or rather... the World Forge!
Lies! Betrayal!
Thena's mood was indescribable; she only felt that the faith and concepts she had always been proud of had completely collapsed.
Collapsed completely.
Thena, at a loss, saw Su Quan calmly studying the Deviant; he used psychic power to help her sort out her memories, so naturally, he must have known the truth.
Why is he so calm?
Doesn't he know that once the Celestial is successfully gestated, this world will be destroyed?
No, that's not right, he is...
"You knew it all along, right? You knew long ago that a Celestial was gestating on Earth, and you knew long ago that we were just pawns of the Celestial..." Thena felt the gravity on her body disappear, and as she stood up, she asked in a low voice.
"Pawn is not the word; 'wage slave' is more appropriate."
Su Quan said without looking back: "You are just corporate slaves who have worked for the Celestials for millions of years, working tirelessly for millions of years just to hatch a Celestial; the Celestial destroys a planet, and then they create a new one."
"To make you Eternals willing to work, the Celestials let you go to planets in groups to work, calling it civil engineering, but actually, you are just migrant workers in animal husbandry."
"Of course, the pay for civil engineering can't be the same as animal husbandry, so you all think you are doing civil engineering."
"When the project ends, you think you can take the money home to enjoy a wife, children, and a warm bed, but in reality, your memories are deleted, and you are sent to the next planet to continue working."
"Cycle after cycle, endless."
"The Mahd Wy'ry you have is actually the memory of the last time not being deleted, overwhelming your current memories. Can't be cured? Hehe, of course it can't be cured, because this isn't a disease at all!"
"..."
Thena was silent; she was angry, she was annoyed, she was... at a loss.
The Celestials deceived them, but what could she do? The Celestials created them, and the strength of the Celestials is far beyond what they can compare to...
Fight?
Can't win!
Run?
Can't escape!
Even if she ran to the ends of the earth, to the end of the universe, she would still be caught by the Celestials.
And, whether caught or not, when a new Celestial is born or Arishem appears, they won't have a good ending.
Being destroyed is actually a stroke of luck; the worst is having their memories deleted again, forgetting everything, and continuing to work for the Celestials!
This is the cruelty of the truth and the helplessness of reality.
A powerful sense of powerlessness surrounded Thena, making her unable to breathe, feeling like she was about to suffocate.
"Follow me."
Su Quan said calmly; this sentence was like the dawn in the darkness, oxygen in the deep sea, making Thena instantly reborn.
She stared at Su Quan: "The Celestial is very strong..."
Su Quan turned to look at Thena and smiled: "My dear, you don't know what true strength is yet!"
Are the Celestials strong?
Strong!
But there are plenty of things stronger than the Celestials!
The strength of the Celestials lies in being far beyond the planetary level, in being able to create planets and universes, in being at the peak of a single universe, but they haven't reached the level of being able to traverse the multiverse.
Even if the strength of an individual Celestial is outstanding and reaches the multiverse level or even stronger, the result of fighting Su Quan wouldn't be any different.
Although not accurate, Su Quan definitely belongs to the type that gets stronger when facing the strong; this 'facing' can be participating in a battle or just watching, so whether it's the Celestials or anyone else, it's best not to appear in front of Su Quan.
Because, they will definitely lose!
Su Quan's confidence infected Thena; Thena's personality was originally clear about love and hate. She could submit to Su Quan because Su Quan beat her into submission with strength.
But she didn't want to submit to the Celestials who deceived and toyed with them, even if the Celestials were their creators!
"Okay!"
Thena responded heavily, then asked: "Should the truth... be told to the others?"
"You dare to resist the Celestials, dare to resist your creators, but the others might not; even if they know the truth, there will be those who are willing to be wage slaves."
Wage slave, wage slave soul, wage slaves are the masters of all!
This sentence is self-deprecating for others, but for the traitor Ikaris, it is the truth.
He is a supporter of the Celestials!
"Ajak knows the truth, but in the future, while getting along with humans, she will get tired and change her original ideas."
"Time, about seven thousand years later."
Seven thousand years later is when the main plot of the Eternals begins; at that time, Ajak, who has changed her mind, will die because she mistakenly trusted Ikaris and was thrown into the encirclement of Deviants.
Su Quan is not prepared to change anything now; after all, this process lasts for seven thousand years, and who knows what changes will be triggered by making changes now? Maybe Arishem or other Celestials will appear early.
There are only two things he needs to do right now.
One: Research the structure of the Eternals and master the means to create silicon-based life!
Two: Take down the Time Variance Authority.
As for the initial goal of letting Wanda practice her abilities, now that there are so many Eternals and Deviants as sparring partners, there is no need to arrange it specifically.
"I'm going to continue researching the structure of the Deviants; if you're bored, you can leave at any time."
Su Quan pointed to a door that appeared not far away, then turned back to continue researching the Deviant's body.
Thena thought for a moment and walked toward the door.
There is nothing in the pocket dimension; staying behind is just a waste of time without any help. Since Su Quan wants to research Deviants, she will go out and get a few more Deviants back.
Coming out of the pocket dimension, Thena didn't go directly to hunt new Deviants but first went to find the others, telling them to collect the corpses after hunting Deviants and bring them over together.
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Several hunting parties, fruitful results.
When the sun was about to set, everyone brought the corpses of seven or eight Deviants and, under Thena's guidance, entered the pocket dimension.
In the pocket dimension, Su Quan had just completely dismantled the Deviant he had been studying and turned the previously unusable materials on the Deviant into initially usable materials.
These materials can be used to build new silicon-based life!
