Chapter 735

~7 min read 1,258 words

Among the four women of the Eternals, uh, okay, actually five, but Sprite, who can't grow up, can only be considered a little girl and can't be called a woman at all.

Ajak, Thena, Makkari, Sersi—among these four women, only Sersi has a bit of a romantic brain, and her emotional experience is relatively rich.

She has had two boyfriends.

The first was Ikaris, a traitor who was also an Eternal; later, Ikaris left without saying goodbye and disappeared for many years, so this relationship ended without a result.

The second was thousands of years later, when the members of the Eternals were scattered in different places, and Sersi and Sprite were living in seclusion in England, meeting Dane Whitman, a lecturer at the museum, while working at the Natural History Museum.

This Dane Whitman is also not simple; when he was with Sersi, he was just an ordinary person, but later Sersi stopped the birth of the sleeping Celestial, which attracted Arishem.

After seeing Sersi being taken away by Arishem with his own eyes, in order to save Sersi, he opened his family's long-sealed 'Ebony Blade' and became a hero of the magical and mysterious system—the Black Knight!

Speaking of the Ebony Blade, Su Quan remembers that he seems to have one in his collection.

The movie didn't detail how Dane Whitman's Ebony Blade came to be, but in the early days, when Stephen Strange and Kaecilius fought at the New York Sanctum, the Ebony Blade had appeared fleetingly.

Su Quan guessed that it was nine times out of ten because of some reason that it later returned to Dane Whitman's hands after many twists and turns.

After all, it is a family heirloom; if there is a chance, he will definitely try every means to take it back!

Back to the point.

Su Quan figured out the structure of the Eternals, mastered the method of creating silicon-based life and a large amount of initial materials, and also had a seven-thousand-year pact with Sersi; staying any longer would be a waste of time.

After giving separate instructions to Ajak and Thena, Su Quan brought Wanda to another point in time.

2050.

Alabama, prelude to the doomsday hurricane.

This is a doomsday timeline, or it can be said to be a doomsday time point; at this time point, doing anything will not produce a time branch, because no matter what, the doomsday will happen.

The doomsday time point is the best hiding place for time criminals because it will not produce time branches and will not be discovered by the Time Keepers of the Time Variance Authority.

Night.

Heavy rain, howling wind.

The sky overhead was as black as ink, with bright lightning flashing from time to time, filled with a depressing atmosphere of dark clouds pressing down on the city.

Bean-sized raindrops fell like a curtain, raising a layer of invisible rain mist.

Su Quan and Wanda walked in the rain, an invisible energy barrier like an umbrella blocking the gale and heavy rain for the two.

"There are lights ahead; it seems to be a supermarket."

Wanda pointed to a halo of light in the darkness ahead and said with a laugh: "Just now we were in the uninhabited primitive era, and in the blink of an eye, we came to modern society; this feeling is really wonderful."

"By the way, who are we looking for this time?"

Su Quan said with a smile: "Sylvie, an Asgardian; she is a variant of Loki, the second prince of Asgard on our timeline; you can call her Lady Loki, or Ms. Loki."

"She is a time criminal of the Time Variance Authority; I plan to recruit her to serve as Dottie Underwood's deputy, and together they will maintain the Time Variance Authority in the future."

From a fugitive of the Time Variance Authority to a manager...

Does the dragon-slaying boy eventually become the evil dragon?

The light box was shining with an unclear halo; Su Quan and Wanda walked into the supermarket. Although the lights were on, it was not bright, and against the backdrop of the gale and rain, thunder and lightning outside, it appeared even more deserted and depressing.

Behind the counter, a female cashier in a blue uniform looked at the two, seemingly puzzled as to why their hair and clothes were dry.

With such heavy rain outside, and they didn't have umbrellas, why weren't they soaked?

"Zzz—zzz—"

The lights flickered inexplicably; the dim atmosphere made Wanda subconsciously hold Su Quan's arm; she was a bit afraid of this kind of horror-movie-like atmosphere.

The waitress left the counter unhurriedly to check the lines, and just as she walked out, she was stopped by Su Quan.

"Want to chat?"

The waitress didn't seem to expect Su Quan to stop her; she paused slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it should just be a line problem."

Su Quan shook his head with a smile: "There's nothing to worry about; anyway, the doomsday will eventually come."

The waitress's expression stiffened, and she said sullenly: "I still have to work in this weather; for me, this is already the doomsday."

Saying this, the waitress prepared to leave.

Su Quan shook his head and stopped her again.

The waitress's face was a bit ugly, and she asked vigilantly: "What do you want to do?"

"Change your appearance, shall we chat?"

"I don't understand what you're saying; I still have to work, please don't harass me anymore," the waitress warned.

Su Quan was noncommittal and said indifferently: "Since you don't give me face, don't blame me for being rude."

As his voice fell, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Snap!"

Accompanied by the sound of the snap, a woman wearing a dark green robe and a headband with a missing corner appeared out of thin air, collapsing in front of them.

"Ding!"

"Battle detected, dropped reward: Mind Control (Sylvie)"

At the same time as the battle reward sound rang out, Sylvie on the ground suddenly opened her eyes and stood up.

At the same time, the waitress's expression was slightly stunned, and then her eyes rolled back, and she fainted to the ground.

Mind control is Sylvie's specialty; she can attach her spirit to anyone and control the other person's body with empathy.

The only drawback is that once her spirit is attached to someone else, her own body will fall into a deep sleep because she has no time to look after it.

Or rather, a coma.

Sylvie looked at Su Quan and Wanda vigilantly and curiously, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

"This kind of question, even if I answer you now, is of no benefit to our communication. As a Loki, even a female Loki, you possess the same qualities as other Lokis; simply put, you don't trust anyone!"

"So..."

"Let's beat you into submission first, then we'll talk."

Su Quan turned to look at Wanda; the corners of Wanda's mouth raised slightly, and she raised her hand to unleash a deep red chaos energy.

The close distance caused the chaos energy to hit Sylvie in an instant.

"Hmm?"

"When?"

Watching the chaos energy pass through Sylvie's body and hit the shelf behind, exploding, Wanda raised her eyebrows in surprise, caught off guard.

From appearance to action, every move of Sylvie was under the eyes of her and Su Quan; when did she release the illusion? She didn't notice it at all!
