Whether it was Ajax, Faustos, or Cecilia and the others, they were all stunned.

Icarus is a warrior among the Eternals, while Phantos is a mage. Why would Icarus make such an obviously unreasonable request?

Ajax and Cersei couldn't help but exchange a glance, each sensing a very ominous premonition.

"Icarus!"

Ajak immediately spoke up, "What are you talking about? That's Fastos's responsibility, not yours! You just do your own job and let Fastos do his!"

"So what are his responsibilities?"

Icarus then let out a cold laugh. "Ajak, I've always respected you. Please, let me take over from here on out. Don't let things get out of hand!"

Ajax and Cersei's expressions changed slightly.

Even if they were incredibly stupid, they would realize that Icarus already knew everything about their plan.

"Icarus, please explain yourself!"

Ajak's face immediately darkened, and she stared intently at Icarus. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Ajak, are you really going to bring everything into the open?"

Icarus glanced at Ajak and the others, his lips twitching. "That night, did you really think it was Cersei?"

"I'm sorry, Cersei," the water sprite said from the side.

Ajax, Cersei, and the other people in the know all turned pale.

It's quite clear now: Icarus used the water spirit to impersonate Sersi and infiltrate their meeting, where he learned everything!

"Ajak, let me preside over the ceremony, and I'll pretend nothing happened!"

Icarus's voice rang out again, and he looked at Ajax in an almost pleading tone, "Please!"

“Icarus, I’m so sorry. I’m the one who led you down the wrong path with no turning back.”

Ajak shook his head firmly.

"Ajak, please!"

Icarus's expression grew increasingly grim as he pleaded with Ajax once more.

"Icarus, you may not understand now, but our existence is not just about killing and destruction. We can also bring hope to people!"

"This is our true meaning!"

"enough!"

Icarus interrupted Ajax, his expression one of considerable entanglement.

On the one hand, there was deep sorrow over Ajax's stubbornness; on the other hand, there was an unwavering determination to carry out the Arithm Plan.

Even if... it means killing Ajax because of this!

"Ajak, you left me with no other choice!"

Icarus's lips twitched, and he growled at Ajax in a low voice, his face filled with murderous intent.

Ajak's expression remained unchanged, but the expressions of Cersei, Faustos, and others from the "Ajak faction" suddenly changed.

The same was true for the "Yi-type" water sprites, druids, golden hooks, and others; all of them had drastic changes in expression.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became oppressive and somber.

No one expected things to develop this way.

A civil war is about to break out among the Eternals!

Moreover, once this civil war breaks out, it will tear a deep, unhealable wound in the hearts of these Eternals who have fought side by side for tens of thousands of years.

There's even a chance someone could die!

In fact, someone did die in the original story.

Icarus led his "Icarus faction" members in a chaotic battle with the "Ai faction," and the outcome was predictable.

As the strongest fighter, Icarus was capable of taking on the entire Eternals single-handedly, and he easily won the war.

Then Icarus used Ajak's life as a threat to force Faustos and other "Ajakians" to submit, and then teleported all eight million mutants to the Aristom test site.

But after everything was over, Ajax still died from his injuries.

It can be said that it was quite tragic.

But now...

However, a variable has emerged.

Apart from Ajax, none of the Eternals knew that a powerful mutant had been lurking nearby all along!

"Icarus!"

Cersei's voice rang out, and she hissed at Icarus, "What are you trying to do? Are you going to disobey Ajak's orders?"

"I wasn't the one who disobeyed orders, Ajak, you forced me to do this!"

After Icarus uttered these words in a low, heartbroken voice, he said no more and immediately shot two beams of heat from his eyes toward Ajax.

Ajak leaped forward, dodging Icarus's attack, but the next moment his vision blurred, and Icarus was already flying in front of him.

In a single, swift motion, he grabbed Ajax by the neck.

Swish!

A whooshing sound rang out as Tina suddenly conjured a spear and thrust it fiercely at Icarus.

laugh!

Jin Gou wasn't idle either; he immediately took action and fired two energy blasts at Tina.

Tina had no choice but to temporarily abandon Icarus. She swung her body sideways and conjured another shield to block the golden hook's shot.

boom!

At this moment, Ajax had already been knocked away by Icarus.

"Cersei, everyone, I'm so sorry!"

The water sprite's voice rang out, and she waved her hand, causing several figures of Icarus to suddenly appear.

They flew and darted through the air, intertwining with each other.

It's hard not to make people think of truth or falsehood.

And so, this civil war broke out among the Eternals.

Boom boom boom!

Bang bang bang!

In an instant, it was as if the mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and the ground shook violently. Countless mountain peaks were destroyed, and the fighting was incredibly fierce.

"It seems that the mastermind behind this is most likely Icarus."

Rorschach, hidden in the shadows, witnessed this civil war with crystal clarity.

However, as of now, he has no plans to do anything.

The time has not come yet.

There was one question that Rorschach couldn't understand: if the mastermind was really Icarus, why couldn't Charles and the White Queen detect anything amiss?

This is clearly not plausible.

Therefore, Rorschach cannot be certain whether there is another mastermind besides Icarus who is not part of the Eternals.

However, things had already progressed to this point, the teleportation ceremony had begun, and all that was missing was a unified will, but his super hearing did not detect anything unusual!

In this place, apart from the Eternals engaged in their great battle, there was no one else.

Could it be that the mastermind behind this won't make an appearance for a while?

Rorschach had no idea.

But for now, he can only observe the situation secretly.

As long as the Eternals do not connect with a unified will, it is not a truly critical moment for Rorschach.

If things really get out of control, we just need to act before we can connect with a unified will.

After all, once the Eternals unite their will, Rorschach will truly be helpless.

Having made up his mind, Rorschach remained inactive, secretly observing the conflict from the sidelines.

Boom boom boom!

Bang bang bang!

This upheaval did not last long; in just over twenty minutes, the battle on the battlefield was decided.

After all, the two sides in the battle were severely unequal in strength. Although the "I-type" Eternals had fewer people, with Icarus present, their overall strength was far greater than that of the "Ai-type" Eternals.

that's it.

The "Ai" Eternal Race was utterly defeated by the "Yi" Eternal Race.

"Connect with a unified will, then let me preside over the teleportation ritual! Otherwise, I will kill Ajax!"

Icarus grabbed Ajak by the neck with one hand and shouted at Faustos.

“You won’t do that, Icarus…”

laugh!

Before he could finish speaking, Icarus fired two beams of heat directly into Ajax's chest.

"what!"

Ajak couldn't help but scream in agony.

The expressions of all the Eternal Race members changed drastically.

Whether they are "Ai-style" or "Yi-style" people.
