She deeply resented her childlike appearance.

Why could everyone else grow up, even fragile human beings, but she couldn't?

Ikaris and Sersi didn't notice Spacey's unusual gaze.

It wasn't that Spacey was hiding well, but rather that she was too short; if they wanted to see the changes in her facial expression, they would have to bend down to look.

And at this moment,

They clearly weren't doing that.

"Ikaris, is there something you need from us?"

Sersi asked curiously.

Logically, Ikaris wouldn't come to her unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, their relationship was somewhat awkward to a certain extent.

They were ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend.

While it wasn't to the point of never speaking again, they would normally try to avoid seeing each other.

At this moment, Ikaris, hearing Sersi's question, said with a serious expression, "Do you remember Xu Wenwu from back then?"

"You mean, the man with the Ten Rings?"

Sersi recalled, remembering that she had indeed seen that man centuries ago.

And at that time, they had stopped his crazy actions.

Afterward, she heard that he seemed to have turned over a new leaf.

"He's back."

Ikaris said with a grave expression.

"Is he still trying to use forbidden power?" Sersi asked in surprise, "But he clearly said he wouldn't do that again!"

"Clearly, he was just deceiving us back then," Ikaris said, "You should know how deep his love for that woman is; he wouldn't give up if there was even the slightest chance."

"I told you back then that you should have killed him directly, instead of letting him go!"

Back then, Xu Wenwu, in order to resurrect the woman he loved, planned to use a power considered forbidden in the Universe!

Once that power was used, it would lead to extremely terrifying consequences, potentially even affecting the mission Arishem the Judge had entrusted to them!

Therefore,

Upon realizing the situation was amiss, Ikaris and the others, organized by Ajak, collectively intervened to stop Xu Wenwu, causing him to fail at the last moment and unable to resurrect that woman!

And at that time, they had already defeated Xu Wenwu, who possessed the Ten Rings. Originally, according to Ikaris, they should have directly killed Xu Wenwu to prevent him from using that forbidden power again in the future.

But Ajak and the others had different opinions.

They believed that Xu Wenwu's motivation was to save his beloved, and he wasn't an unforgivable villain.

Therefore, they decided to let Xu Wenwu go, as long as he promised not to touch that forbidden power again.

And at that time, Xu Wenwu, pressured by the Eternal's strength, had no choice but to agree to this request.

But now it seems,

He intends to go back on his word!

That's why Ikaris said they should have killed him back then, instead of letting him go.

"No, Ikaris, you're too extreme. Xu Wenwu himself isn't a bad person."

Sersi shook her head; even today, she still disagreed with Ikaris's idea.

Kill Xu Wenwu?

He was just a man driven mad by love.

He simply didn't know the consequences of doing that!

"Forget it, I can't convince you."

Ikaris didn't continue to argue with Sersi on this issue.

Anyway, he had already decided this time; no matter what, he would eliminate Xu Wenwu and absolutely not let him continue to live!

This man's obsession with love was too deep!

Even if they stopped him again, what if there was a third time?

Ikaris absolutely could not let this Xu Wenwu affect the mission Arishem the Judge had given them, and he absolutely could not let him use that forbidden power!

After all,

The source of that power was actually the power of the Celestials, incubating within the Blue Planet!

Once Xu Wenwu extracted a portion of it,

It would inevitably greatly delay the birth of the Celestials!

In that case, how much longer would they have to wait to complete the mission Arishem the Judge had entrusted to them?

Sersi didn't know Ikaris's thoughts.

She didn't even know what the true mission of them, the Eternal, was.

Sersi had always believed that their mission was to eliminate the Deviants, to protect this World and make it a better place.

But she didn't know;

Their true mission was actually to protect the life on this Planet, allowing intelligent life like Ordinary people to multiply rapidly!

Once the number of intelligent beings reached a certain level,

Then the Celestial member incubating inside the Planet would fully awaken!

At that time,

A new Celestial member would be born at the cost of all life on a Planet.

And the existence of the Celestials, for the Universe, held significant meaning regarding its future continuation!

Without the Celestials, the entire Universe would fall into chaos, and even face extinction!

However,

This was actually just Arishem the Judge's side of the story.

What was the truth?

That was hard to say.

Anyway, in their 497 Universe, if no one organized, then when the Great Destruction arrived a decade or so later,

Whether it was the Celestials or the Celestial Demons or whatever,

They would all disappear along with the Universe!

If Ikaris and the others knew this truth, what would they think?

Would they feel that everything they had done was meaningless?

...

Stark Tower.

In the top-floor conference room.

All nine Avengers members were present.

"Everyone, I've just discussed the progress of the space Base's construction; we should be able to officially move in by next week."

Tony briefly introduced the situation of the space Base to the others, and as he was about to move on to the next topic, a sudden alarm sounded.

"Sir, someone has intruded."

Friday also reported the situation.

Just then—

The conference room door suddenly exploded into pieces.

Then, a man wearing a black robe as dark as ink, with what looked like some black monster on its surface, walked in with his hands behind his back.

Two figures followed the man.

The moment one of the figures appeared, Luke Cage and Jessica in the conference room immediately stood up, looking excited.

"Matt!"

The two shouted.

Unfortunately,

Matt, who was following behind Xu Wenwu, completely ignored them.

As if he didn't recognize them at all.

This made their hearts sink, realizing that Matt might have been brainwashed by the man in front of them.

"Very good, it seems you are all here."

Xu Wenwu's gaze swept around, finding that the two culprits who killed Kingpin were present, and even the other Avengers were mostly there.

Only Thor from Asgard was absent, and the big green guy.

Everyone else who should be there had arrived!

Xu Wenwu was very satisfied.

After all,

He had come to avenge Kingpin.

He not only wanted Luke Cage and Jessica to pay the price, but he also needed some witnesses!

Or perhaps...

He needed more opponents.

That way, the fight wouldn't be boring!

Yes;

Xu Wenwu didn't put Luke Cage and Jessica, these two Avengers, in his eyes.

Even!

He had never put all the Avengers present in his eyes.

Only Thor from Asgard would make Xu Wenwu pay a little attention.

Unfortunately!

The other party was clearly not on the Blue Planet.

...

PS: Third update delivered!!!

Chapter 133: Avenging Kingpin? But we didn't kill him! Taking the blame for Luo Di! [Fourth Update]

"Damn it! Who are you?!"

Seeing Xu Wenwu suddenly burst in, the Avengers present all stood up, ready for battle.

And Tony secretly contacted Friday, asking her to bring his Iron Man suit, which was in the lab and about to be upgraded.

After all, without his Iron Man suit, he was just an Ordinary person.

God knows why someone would dare to break into Stark Tower; Tony was completely unprepared, and at this moment, he suddenly began to wonder if he should start researching how to carry his Iron Man suit with him at all times?

Not like the old briefcase type.

That type, not to mention its weapon system needed to be weakened, didn't have much combat power.

And a briefcase was inconvenient to equip.

It was easy for enemies to discover his intentions and interrupt him from putting on the Iron Man suit.

In Tony's vision.
