And just like before, the golden substance clinging to Icarus's surface was once again attempting to repair his injuries.

However, Odin and the Ancient One were clearly not going to stand idly by. The divine power of the Spear of Eternity erupted, attempting to expel the golden substance from Icarus's body. The Ancient One also appeared behind Icarus, placing her hands on his head. Magic surged from her hands, stimulating his brain and trying to awaken Icarus's soul... Yes, although he was a construct, he was still a construct created by the Celestials, so the Eternals also possessed souls.

With the cooperation of the two powerful figures, the golden substance was gradually peeled away from Icarus's body, and Icarus's consciousness was also restored to clarity under the stimulation of the Ancient One's magic.

"What exactly is that thing?" As the golden substance was completely encased in glass and held in a magical cage by the Ancient One, Gilgamesh came to Odin's side and asked, looking at the thing.

"That is Nal, an ancient evil god, an existence equivalent to a celestial being, the creator of the Black Death Sword!" Odin looked at the golden sphere struggling in the magical cage and solemnly began to speak of the origin of this thing.

Long before the universe was in chaos, the Celestials had just begun creating all things.

But just like the dark elves who were dissatisfied with the Asgardians of Odin's father's era bringing light to the Nine Realms.

In the void of the universe at that time, a dark being also slumbered, and that was Gnar.

The creation of all things by the gods awakened this being.

Out of disgust for life, the moment Nar regained consciousness, he drew the Black Death Sword and saw the head of a Celestial—the very head that appeared in the movie, the Nowhere.

However, the Celestials outnumbered the Celestials, and Nal was quickly defeated and driven back to the Void.

However, Gnar did not give up. After returning to the Void, he used the blood of the dead Celestials to reforge the Black Death Sword and also created a special race, the Symbiote—the prototype of Venom.

Having reforged the Black Death Sword and created the Symbiote, Gnar once again wreaked havoc across the universe.

"Are you kidding me? A being on par with the gods can be dealt with so easily?" Gilgamesh's eyes widened in disbelief after hearing Odin's words.

“If it were the real Nar, we naturally wouldn’t be able to handle it, but this thing is only a part of it, so that’s a different story.” Odin smiled slightly as he looked at Gilgamesh’s surprised expression.

Although Gnar made a comeback, he suffered an even more crushing defeat than the first time due to the combined efforts of the Celestials and many primordial gods in the universe. Not only was the important Black Death Sword lost, but even his soul was shattered.

The thing in front of us is just a small part of Nar's body. For some unknown reason, it ended up on Earth tens of thousands of years ago—at that time, Asgard was still ruled by Odin's grandfather, and the Nine Realms had not yet been unified.

The story of Nal was passed down from Odin's ancestors, and it was impossible for Odin himself to have come into contact with it.

However, if Gilgamesh hadn't had his memories erased, he would definitely know what Nal was.

However, Odin had seen similar fragments of Nar's body before.

The damage it caused directly destroyed several civilizations.

However, just as Odin and Gilgamesh were having a lively conversation, the Ancient One noticed something was wrong.

"No, this isn't Nar, it's just a powerful symbiote!" After conducting a soul observation of the golden substance using magic, the Ancient One discovered a terrifying truth.

"What? It's not a fragment of Nar, but just a symbiote? Then why is it so hostile to the gods?" Odin was incredulous upon hearing the Ancient One's words.

"Because its previous host was a civilization on a planet that had been inoculated with gods!" Ancient One said coldly.

"Sowing the gods?" Upon hearing the Ancient One's words, Icarus, who had been blaming himself for his rampage, rolled his eyes again. However, before he could rampage again, the Ancient One slapped him on the head, waking him up.

Chapter 223 Stealing Everything

Upon hearing the Ancient One say that this was just a very powerful symbiote, but its previous host came from a civilization that had been implanted with a Celestial and was destroyed because of the Celestial's birth, Odin instantly understood why Icarus, who was parasitized by this symbiote, hated the gods so much.

Because the parasite itself has a very simple mind, but as a symbiote, it can share the host's memories and be influenced by the host's biases.

Its previous host had a blood feud with the Celestial Race and the Eternal Race, which was so deep that it would be strange if it didn't hate them.

"And I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I saw you in its memory fragments!" Ancient One said to Gilgamesh—implying that the civilization of the previous host of this symbiote was actually Gilgamesh's previous mission.

"What? You see us?" Gilgamesh looked completely bewildered; they had never seen this thing before.

"...I forgot to explain. This shouldn't be something we should be saying, but it doesn't matter now..." The Ancient One looked at the bodies of Ajak and Cersei, which had been collected by Makari and Phantos, and then explained the true mission of the Eternals and the fact that their memories were wiped clean after each mission.

"No, this is impossible!" After the Ancient One finished speaking, Gilgamesh, who was usually quite calm, was still alright, but Makari and Phantos were not so calm. "And you are only over five hundred years old, how would you know these things?"

"I'm just telling you what's going on. Whether you believe me or not is your business!" Gu Yi didn't care at all about their doubts.

So what if I'm only 500 years old? I've seen far more beings from all dimensions, and I often visit other multiverses. I know way more than you do.

And you've lived long enough, but what's the use? Aren't you still being brainwashed every time?

“I know this may be hard to accept, but I can vouch for what she said!” Odin walked up to Gilgamesh and patted him on the shoulder.

Gilgamesh nodded upon hearing this. In fact, after the Ancient One told him the story, he already believed it to a great extent.

For the past few centuries, he had spent a lot of time with Sainta, who suffered from "Eternal Demon Syndrome," and witnessed many of the words she wrote and the scenes she drew.

I used to find it all very strange, but now, combined with what the Ancient One said, everything suddenly makes sense.

It turns out that the so-called Eternal Demon Syndrome is actually caused by the awakening of memories that were once erased.

However, Macari and Fastos are still unable to accept this explanation in the short term.

“Yes, what they said is true. I remember now, Pangria, the civilization that was destroyed because of us…” Just then, Icarus, who had been bound to the ground by the Ancient One and grieving alone, opened his eyes and spoke.

As the strongest of the Eternals, Icarus's memories were far more comprehensive than Sainta's, and he even directly called out the name of that civilization.

It was at this moment that a small golden ball suddenly appeared on the chest of the previously dead Ajax's body. After spinning a few times in the air, it rushed towards Gilgamesh, startling him.

However, the ball was trapped by the Ancient One's magic before it could touch Gilgamesh.

"What is this thing again?" Gilgamesh asked irritably.

“If I’m not mistaken, this thing represents your Eternals’ leader and is also a tool for contacting Arithm.” The Ancient One explained, then looked at Gilgamesh and asked, “If you obtained it, how would you report the situation here to Arithm?”

"...I don't know!" Gilgamesh was taken aback by the Ancient One's question, and his expression darkened.

"Of course we need to find Arithm and get to the bottom of everything!" Faustos stepped forward, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. Just report the situation here truthfully. Also, you can tell Arithm that Icarus's situation is rather special, and I will take him back to Kamar-Taj to be imprisoned!" Ancient One said with a slight smile, looking at the expressions of the Eternals.

Upon hearing the Ancient One's request, the Eternals had no objections. They already disliked Icarus, and without the help of the Ancient One and Odin, they were completely helpless against him.

Therefore, after weighing the options, letting the Ancient One take Icarus away is the best choice.

As for the symbiote, no one mentioned it; it was the Ancient One's spoils of war.

"Oh, right, there's one more problem we must deal with!" Seeing that no one had any objections, Gu Yi nodded in satisfaction, then her expression turned serious.

"What's the problem?" Odin asked.

“Although this symbiote is not a fragment of Nar, it doesn’t mean that fragments of Nar don’t exist. There is a fragment of Nar imprisoned in the spaceship under the ice, and this symbiote is the guard of that spaceship!” Ancient One dropped another bombshell after fiddling with the symbiote in her hand.

This explains why Mand, an Inhuman skilled in telepathy, received the response that the spaceship in the ice was a prison when he tried to communicate with it.

What it received in return was the symbiote in the hands of the Ancient One.

The symbiote created by Nar is actually a prison guard for a Nar fragment.

This sounds a bit absurd.

But that's not actually the case. As mentioned before, although the symbiote was created by Nar, its original form was actually a species with extremely simple thinking. Basically, whatever host it coexists with, its thinking will tend to be inclined towards that host.

Therefore, when it was first created by Nal, the symbiote was influenced by this evil god and naturally behaved more evilly.

However, after Nar was defeated for the second time, his connection with the symbiote was completely severed, leaving only the largest piece of his body.

Freed from Nar's restraints, the symbiote began searching for a new host.

Because the hosts they find are sometimes kind, sometimes evil, and sometimes lazy, conflicts arise among these symbiotes.

But regardless of the type of host, most people are not fond of a wicked god like Nar who is always ready to destroy everything.

As a result, the affected symbiotes collectively chose to betray Gnar. Countless parasites built a cage around the largest part of Gnar's body, trapping Gnar's body inside.

As this cage grew larger and larger, it eventually formed a planet, which is the symbiote's home planet Kuntal, the birthplace of Venom.

But this is not the end. There are still a large number of symbiotes that are inclined to the good side, wandering in the universe, relying on their own senses of Knull to search for the lost fragments of Knull's body.

For example, the one locked up inside the spaceship is one of them.

However, this spaceship is not a symbiote, but rather the previous host of this symbiote, the Pangria civilization.

It was an extremely advanced civilization, whose level of civilization was no less than that of the Kree and the Shia.

However, because this civilization is extremely kind and peaceful, and reveres nature, it has no intention of expanding outwards even after developing into a highly advanced civilization, so it is not well-known in the universe.

But just like Krypton in DC and Asgard being destroyed by Surtur in the future.

No matter how advanced a civilization is, it is utterly vulnerable in the face of a planet-destroying catastrophe brought about by the sudden birth of a god.

Thus, this civilization was so easily destroyed in the long history of the universe, leaving almost no trace, with only a very few people able to escape in time.

And this prison spaceship is one of them.

The Nar fragments imprisoned above were captured by several Pangorian heroes and their symbiotes when the Pangorian civilization still existed.

However, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the Pangorian heroes above have long since died. Only a few symbiotes and the imprisoned Nar fragment remain, sealed in the spaceship, and landed in Earth's South Pole, where they were frozen for tens of thousands of years until Josie sent a robot to reactivate them.

In other words, the symbiote in the Ancient One's possession, as well as several other symbiotes still in a dormant state on the spaceship, all belong to the good side—of course, because of the destruction of Pangria, this goodness does not exist when facing the gods.

"Then what do you think is the best course of action?" Odin asked, looking at the Ancient One.

These words, seemingly concerned with the disposal of the Nar fragments, actually reveal a desire to divide up a portion of the spoils.

After all, he had put in some effort to deal with that symbiote earlier.

“You can take half of the symbiote on top, and I will seal the spaceship and the fragments of Nar, how about that?” Ancient One understood Odin’s meaning and said immediately.

As for the Eternals? They're just a bunch of robots; they're lucky to be alive. What more could they want?

Inhumans? Where did these Inhumans come from?

Hmm? Inhumans?
