Ch. 104

Meanwhile, the white haired girl earlier, walked over to Ikaris's side, and stood behind him.

"Wait, she was an enemy?" Tony was exasperated as he can't believe that he just talked casually to a villain.

"No! Sh- She's just confused. Spare her." Sersi immediately defended her, as Sprite is her best friend and sister.

"Of course I'll spare her. Do I look like a psychopath to you? Ask this kid here, not me." Tony said then took this chance to tease Senku.

"I-I'm not killing anyone, especially someone so young. It leaves a bad taste to my mouth." Senku also refused to kill Sprite, unknowingly, he was blushing, which god knows why.

"How about the rip-off Superman?" Tony pointed at Ikaris.

"Him also. At least spare him." Sersi begged.

"What? Is he your ex or something?" Tony raised his eye brow. Earlier, Ikaris was about to kill him, if it wasn't for Senku, then his body would be on the ground now.

"Y-yes." Sersi hesitated before finally muttering. She doesn't want the world to be destroyed just because of her feelings for Ikaris, but at least, she doesn't want him to die.

"Tch. Well, if he's too weak and died, then don't blame me." Tony didn't promise. Although the girl was his type, that doesn't mean he'll be a simp and do whatever she says.

"Get ready, big boy." Tony smirked. This insult seems to have annoyed Ikaris, as he immediately shot him his beams.

"Oh shit." Tony muttered, as he already side stepped the moment he saw his eyes glow, which indicates that he's about to blow.

*Boom!*

The floor beside Tony exploded into pieces.

"That was close." Tony sighed relief.

"Behind you, you fool!" Senku shouted at him, as he realized that the girl earlier was behind him, and was clenching a dagger at him.

"Put that down little kid, it's not a toy." Tony told her as he put his hand forward, trying to reach for the knife.

"No." Sprite said as she multiplied 50 times.

"Woah woah woah." Tony backed away as he saw 50 of the girl looking at him.

"Is that your powers? To make clones or something? Fascinating." Tony's inner scientist was coming out. Although he is a technology expert, he did study science as his passing time during his teenage years, so he has some knowledge about it.

"This is an illusion, you can't touch her illusions. You must find the real one." Sersi voiced out.

"Oh I see. That is a cool ability." Tony complimented her ability, as he touched one of them and saw his hand just passing through them.

Meanwhile, Ikaris didn't stay idle and was about to release his beams as usual when Senku got in front of him, with his shield on his hand.

"I'll be your enemy." Senku said, as he is confident on his shield to confront the man in front of him.

"Get out of my way kid, this isn't your fight." Ikaris, although was prepared to kill the whole earth for the celestial seed, doesn't mean that he's a psychopath that will kill kids with his own hands.

"I'm much more older than you think." Senku smirked before throwing the shield to Ikaris.

Ikaris released his beams on the flying shield, trying to slow it down, however, as if the logic was denying him, the shield didn't slow down and hit him square on the chest.

*Bam!*

Ikaris blocked the shield using his hands, before throwing them back at Senku.

"Shit." Senku's eyes widened as he used his hands to catch the shield.

*Wooshh!*

*Dung!*

Because of the speed of the shield, Senku was pushed back as he skidded on the ground.

Senku changed his posture, by making his chest go forward, and his legs slightly more behind his body, this is to decrease the friction between him and the ground below him.

While with his body forward, he also used his strength in this, so he could withstand the momentum of the shield.

Thanks to his intellect, he pulled this off, as he came into halt, however, he didn't come out without injuries as his hands were bleeding slightly.

"You're still ten billion years too early to kill me." Senku said as he grinned madly. During that situation, he could clearly feel the force of his body, and his overall strength.

If this was him before the serum, then the shield would obviously pierce through him, slicing him in half.

But thanks to the serum, he survived that, albeit with small injuries.

Ikaris squinted his eyes at him, as he knows that no normal human could protect themself from that, which means, that his enemy isn't a normal human.

'Now that I noticed, that shield is familiar.' Ikaris put his eyes on the shield as he tried to remember on what it was.

"Rraaaaahhhhh!!!" He heard a shout beside him, as he quickly turned around and saw Thena with her shield and sword out, slashing towards him.

Ikaris used his forearms to block her strike, as he choked her on her neck.

"Stop this!" Ikaris growled as he almost released his beams straight on Thena's face.

"Make me." Thena said before shouting, "Raaaahhhh!!"

She slammed her shield on Ikaris's chest.

*Boom!*

Ikaris was thrown back. Thena was about to go and finish him, for Ajak, and lastly, for Gilgamesh.

However, someone unexpected joined them, as Thena who was about to finish Ikaris, was thrown away by a punch from a tall humanoid being, with glowing arm.

"This is amazing. All Eternals are finally here." The humanoid being said as he was blown away by an unknown object.

"I'm only doing this for my family." Phastos said, as he was only doing this for his family, not humanity as a whole. Ever since the bombing of Japan, he has turned his back on humanity and abstained from using his powers to help them ever since.

But when he heard about the destruction which will be caused when the celestial inside the earth emerge, he started thinking about his family, and knew that he has to stop the emergence to protect them.

When Sersi saw this, she smiled in delight, as their winning advantage is more than 60% with Phastos.

"Rraaahh!" Thena stood up and conjured a spear to stab the being on his chest.

The being dodged, and slammed his fist on Thena, when Thena used the butt of the spear to redirect the punch and slashed the being from his chest up to his head.

*Shing!*

The humanoid being held his throat as it slowly healed, like how Ajak did.

When Thena was about to go and finish him, to avenge Gilgamesh, an earthquake occured, making her stumble on the ground.

"The emergence. It's too late." Sersi realized and turned to look at the volcano, which is erupting crazily in shock.

"What's going on?" Tony asked as he too notices the erupting volcano.

"The emergence, we're too late to stop it." Sersi muttered as she shed a tear.

"We'll survive. Anya is sure that mister sorcerer could stop the emergence." Since Sersi isn't technically a telepath and has no protection on her mind, Anya easily read her mind and knew about the emergence.

"I'm sure he can stop it." Anya smiled and confidently said.

"Who?" Sersi was confused on who could stop the emergence of a celestial.

"Our Leader. Well, we haven't decided on that yet, but since he's the strongest then he's our unofficial leader for now." Tony said.

"Oh by the way, I think I just saw him that way." Tony then remembered and pointed at the sky, where there's a huge being staring down.

When Sersi also turned to look, her eyes widened as she knew that the chances of stopping the emergence now is slim to none.

"Arishem."
