Xu Wenwu verified the authenticity of the Eternal Clan's situation by directly visiting Gu Yiwen.
Although Xu Wenwu disliked the old maid Gu Yi, he had to admit that asking Gu Yi about matters concerning the extraordinary side was definitely the right thing to do.
Xu Wenwu did not enter the main gate of Lei Shengchun Hall, but instead went to the side gate on the other side.
Before he could even knock, the side door opened, and an Asian monk stepped out, bowing to Xu Wenwu and saying, "Layman Xu, please follow me. The Supreme One is already waiting for you!"
Seeing this, Xu Wenwu merely raised an eyebrow, showing no surprise. After all, they had known each other for hundreds of years, and this wasn't the first time he had encountered Gu Yi's way of doing things.
It's safe to say that when it comes to showing off, Gu Yi is number one, and no one on Earth dares to claim second place.
"Boss, why did you tell Xu Wenwu about my situation?" On the other side, after Qiao Xi and her group returned to the Peninsula Hotel, Jia Ying couldn't help but ask.
"What? You don't like him? Or do you think he's ugly?" Josie said with a teasing smile.
"Uh, no, actually he's quite dashing, but not as dashing as you, boss!" Jia Ying blushed slightly when she heard Qiao Xi's teasing.
Clearly, Jia Ying wasn't as completely unfriendly to Xu Wenwu as she appeared on the surface.
This is not surprising, after all, Xu Wenwu's appearance and temperament are among the best in the Xia people.
Chapter 231 Targets Again
Inside a farmhouse in Western Australia, the five remaining Eternals—Gilgamesh, Sainta, the Water Spirit, Phantomus, and Macari—are sitting around a table for a meal. Although the Eternals are not actually required to eat, they have developed the habit of eating after thousands of years of living as mortals.
However, the atmosphere at the dinner table was quite somber.
It doesn't go well with a lavish lunch.
After all, with half of their teammates missing or dead in the previous period, and having learned from the Ancient One that they were merely tools created by the Celestials, and after Gilgamesh, who became the new leader, confirmed this, it was indeed impossible for them to laugh and play like they had done centuries ago.
"We can't just wait like this, we have to do something!" Seemingly unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere any longer, the water sprite, whose appearance was forever that of a little girl, slammed her fork on the table and looked at Gilgamesh.
Hearing the commotion, the others also put down their utensils, first looking at the water spirit, and then at Gilgamesh.
Only Sainta, who had become extremely withdrawn since contracting the Eternal Demon Syndrome, seemed oblivious as she stuffed food into her mouth.
"...Then what do you think we should do?" Seeing this, Gilgamesh could only helplessly put down his cutlery and looked at his smallest companion with a helpless smile.
“We should welcome back Icarus, we need him! That old witch has no right to imprison our companions!” The water sprite glanced at his companions and stated his purpose without any hesitation.
The "old witch" she was referring to was naturally the Ancient One—it's just unknown whether she considers her own age when calling someone an old witch.
Of course, perhaps because she has been a child for thousands of years, she has become accustomed to the mindset of a permanent child.
Upon hearing her words, Macari frowned slightly, while Fastos rolled his eyes.
“Am I wrong? Icarus is the strongest among us. With him around, we can definitely get out of this awkward situation instead of just staying here all day doing nothing!” The water sprite said, dissatisfied with their appearance.
However, apart from Gilgamesh responding with a wry smile, everyone else remained completely unfazed by her words.
Although they were indeed companions, apart from Sainta who had once had a slight liking for Icarus, the rest of the people present actually kept their distance from this arrogant strongest man.
Even Sainta, after contracting Eternal Demon Syndrome and getting together with Gilgamesh, lost interest in Icarus.
Ajax and Cersei, who truly supported and loved Icarus, died, and were killed by Icarus himself. Another supporter of Icarus, Golden Hook, disappeared long ago.
Under these circumstances, naturally no one would support the water sprite's words.
On the other hand, Icarus said he would bring him back if he could?
Not to mention that the other party has the Eternal Demon Syndrome, although the spaceship facilities can be "cured" by erasing memories, who can be sure that Icarus won't go berserk again during this process?
And among those present, who dared to say they could subdue the rampaging Icarus?
More importantly, among them, who can get past the Ancient One? Relying on your third-rate illusion magic, you water sprite?
Moreover, everyone isn't stupid; the water sprite's attitude clearly shows that selfishness plays a major role.
The little thing has been secretly in love with Icarus for thousands of years. Apart from that fool Cersei, who wouldn't see it!
“Water Spirit, I know what happened to Icarus is hard for you to accept, but…” Gilgamesh was about to say a few words to comfort the smallest member of the group, but he stopped halfway through his sentence.
But an alarm sounded from Faustos, who was sitting opposite him.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Fastos was also dumbfounded. With a wave of his hand, an instrument made of cosmic energy appeared in front of him, and six red dots on the instrument were surrounding the small house where they were.
"What are those?" the others asked, looking at the six red dots on the instrument.
“Shutter, this is an instrument for monitoring mutants…” Faustos said with a somewhat blank expression.
In the original movie, the Eternals were ambushed by the Mutants one after another, largely because he was absent—as a technician, he was also the only one among the Eternals who could monitor the Mutants with his instruments.
And that was what surprised him.
Because more than 500 years ago, he had already scanned the entire Earth and confirmed that the mutant race had been wiped out, so why would it suddenly reappear now?
"What? But weren't the mutant race wiped out five hundred years ago?" The water sprite, who was still grieving over Icarus, looked incredulous.
The others had the same expression.
"Whether it's true or not, they're definitely up to no good. Stay here!" While the others were still in a daze, Gilgamesh had already taken off his chef's apron, comforted Sainta beside him, and walked towards the door.
Macari and Fastos hurriedly followed.
The water sprite glanced at Sainta, who was still eating, with a complicated expression, and then followed her out.
Sainta, still sitting at the table eating, wore a serene smile.
"They really are mutants... Be careful!" Stepping out of the hut, Gilgamesh's expression immediately turned extremely solemn as he glanced at the six figures flanking him from all sides.
Meanwhile, the mutated race that was closing in from a distance became excited after seeing several Eternal Race members appear.
Although the unevolved beast-like mutants do not possess full intelligence like the Eternals, they are both creations of the gods and possess cosmic energy. As such, the Eternals are both the natural enemies of the mutants and a great attraction to mutants.
The genes within the mutant races are telling them that by devouring these Eternals, they can evolve into something even more perfect!
Driven by this genetic impulse, these mutant races charged at the moment they saw the Eternals.
Gilgamesh had seen this scene far too many times over the past few thousand years.
He took a step, retracted his fist, and then swung it out.
The first mutant that charged forward was punched squarely on the head.
The mutant did a 360-degree spin in mid-air before crashing to the ground.
The mutant tried to get up after landing, but Gilgamesh slapped him to the ground again, his head almost rotting away, and he could only twitch on the ground.
Upon witnessing their companion's gruesome death, the remaining five mutants instinctively slowed their sprint, hesitating as they began circling Gilgamesh.
"Just some low-level creatures!" Gilgamesh looked at the five mutants surrounding him with a disdainful smile.
And he certainly has the right to be arrogant.
Although there are many mutants, they are all just rudimentary forms of mutants that have not undergone evolution, and they pose no threat to him whatsoever.
In the movie, even the mutant leader Kro, who had absorbed Ajax's power and completed the first stage of evolution, couldn't last more than a few rounds against him. If he hadn't been killed off by the plot while protecting the ailing Sainta, the rest of the story would have been completely different.
The only problem is that Gilgamesh can't fly and is relatively slow, making it difficult to effectively pursue mutants—not that he can't catch them, but he can only catch one, and that only if the mutant can't fly or swim.
Therefore, if the five mutant races were to play a kite game, even if the Eternals had unlimited stamina, it would be very difficult for Gilgamesh to kill the remaining five mutant races alone.
However, this will not happen, because Gilgamesh has companions.
A gust of wind blew by, and a dagger sliced through the body of a mutant, severing several tentacles from its body.
Another gust of wind blew by, and a huge wound appeared on its waist.
Then came another one.
The mutant roared in pain from the numerous wounds, but it couldn't even catch a glimpse of its enemy. The only one capable of doing this was undoubtedly the speedster, Macari.
However, as creations of the gods, the mutant race also possesses complete vitality. It is easy for Makari to injure these mutants, but it is quite difficult to kill them with a single blow as easily as Gilgamesh.
At that moment, a beam of light flashed past Gilgamesh from behind and struck the mutant on the head, killing it.
The one who could do this was naturally the fat, dark-skinned Faustus.
Although by definition he is a tech expert and thus a support role in the team, his combat capabilities are also outstanding because of his technological prowess.
The only one who didn't make a move was the water sprite standing at the door—her ability was illusion magic, and apart from creating illusions to launch sneak attacks, her combat power was almost non-existent, making her unsuitable for this situation.
The best solution is to stay in the rear and observe while providing support.
The mutants seemed a bit panicked after losing two of their companions. After hesitating for a moment, they actually started to run away, and they scattered in four different directions.
The Eternal Clan members were stunned upon seeing this.
It's true that mutants can run away; although they resemble wild beasts, they are not entirely without intelligence.
However, such an orderly and organized escape was something they had never seen before.
This situation... doesn't seem right.
"Phaostos, take care of the home. Macari and I are going to check on things!" Although he sensed something was wrong, Gilgamesh didn't want to let the mutants leave so easily.
Although, as creations of the gods, the mutant race, like the eternal race, cannot reproduce—which is a major reason why a mere ten eternal races were able to exterminate them—the mutant race, while unable to reproduce, can still evolve.
The genes of any organism can enable mutant races to evolve, not just the eternal race.
It's just that its level of evolution is not high.
However, once the mutants have preyed on enough Earth creatures and evolved to a certain extent—for example, by preying on enough birds or fish and developing the ability to fly or dive—it will be much more difficult to hunt them down and kill them once Icarus, the all-powerful being, is gone.
Faustos nodded without hesitation in the face of Gilgamesh's command.
