Sainta's condition, which was afflicted with Eternal Demon Syndrome, was not very stable, and the Water Sprite had little combat power. The other three certainly couldn't abandon these two to pursue them.
With moderate combat strength and various technological modification capabilities, Faustos is clearly the most suitable for defense.
“Makali, I’ll go after that one. You can locate the remaining three and stop them from hunting. Is that alright?” Gilgamesh asked Makali again.
"No problem," Macari nodded, gestured with his fingers, and then vanished from the spot.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh also began to run wildly towards the target he had locked onto.
..............................
"They've separated!" High in the sky, dozens of kilometers away from the hut where the Eternals lived, a VTOL hovered silently. In the control room, Josie looked at Xu Wenwu, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, and said.
"Understood, leave Gilgamesh to me!" Upon hearing Josie's words, Xu Wenwu opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
Not long ago in Bauhinia City, Xu Wenwu secretly met with the Supreme Master, and the next day he found Qiao Xi at the Peninsula Hotel again and immediately agreed to Qiao Xi's assassination commission.
However, the Eternal Clan still outnumbered the rest. It would be very difficult for Xu Wenwu and the Ten Rings Gang to take down the remaining five Eternal Clan members.
Thus came the previous mutant raid—these six mutants were actually the same six that appeared in the Eternals movie, including the mutant leader Crow.
It was dug out of the ice in Alaska by Josie just last week; it's very fresh.
Of course, since he did not devour Ajak as depicted in the movie, the current Kro is not much different from the other mutants.
Even the strong appreciate each other, and Gilgamesh's formidable strength greatly piqued Xu Wenwu's interest.
Throughout his thousands of years of life, there have been very few powerful individuals who could rival him.
Especially those who are purely physical powerhouses like Gilgamesh—Xu Wenwu dislikes those like the Ancient One who rely on technology in comparison.
Therefore, Xu Wenwu's first target was undoubtedly Gilgamesh, the current leader of the Eternals.
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll send someone to hold off that speedster, Macari!" Josie wasn't surprised by Xu Wenwu's choice and nodded in agreement.
"That's good. That speedster is indeed quite troublesome!" Xu Wenwu nodded without refusing. Although he was confident, he was not arrogant.
Xu Wenwu, who had already learned about the situation from Gu Yi, was very clear about it.
He could handle Gilgamesh alone, but if you add Marca to the mix, he has absolutely no chance of winning.
After saying that, Xu Wenwu got up and walked out of the cabin.
The Eternals, this time we must completely eliminate you.
Qiao Xi watched Xu Wenwu's departing figure and thought to herself.
Chapter 232 Xu Wenwu VS Gilgamesh
"Gotcha!" Gilgamesh caught up with the mutated creature that was trying to escape, grabbed its tail, and burst into laughter as he watched it struggle.
But at that moment, a silver whip of light fell heavily from the sky, striking the mutant on the head and killing it instantly.
Upon seeing this, Gilgamesh was taken aback. In his eyes, he could tell at a glance that it was not a whip at all, but ten rings connected together by a special energy.
More importantly, Gilgamesh was very familiar with this energy. Although it manifested in slightly different ways, it was undoubtedly the cosmic energy that his Eternals were accustomed to using.
Could the newcomer also be an Eternal being?
This is not impossible. Although they were created by the gods to ensure the birth of new gods, there is more than one new god, so there are more than one batch of Eternals.
More importantly, during his previous conversation with Odin, Gilgamesh also learned that a group of Eternals had broken free from the control of the gods, multiplied into their own race, and even possessed their own civilization.
Therefore, Gilgamesh has been thinking about the future of the remaining members of his group during this period.
The only question is the origin of this newly appeared person who appears to be from the Eternal Race.
So, following the direction of the ten rings, Gilgamesh saw a handsome middle-aged Asian man just like himself... What? You say he's not handsome? I'll slap him to death, you believe me?
"Are you an Eternal?" Gilgamesh asked tentatively, looking at the man who appeared in front of him.
"You are Gilgamesh? The legendary Hero King?" The newcomer was Xu Wenwu, who squinted at the burly Gilgamesh and asked.
"Hehe, the title of Hero King is just a name given to me by mortals. In reality, I only killed a few mutants. Many of the other experiences were fabricated by my companions. It's not as exaggerated as it seems!" Gilgamesh said with a simple smile, waving his hand.
However, after Gilgamesh confirmed his identity, the pleasant meeting he had envisioned did not occur.
"Hehe, I thought so too, but as long as we confirm that you are Gilgamesh, that's fine—come on!" Xu Wenwu coldly struck a Hung Kuen stance.
Seeing Xu Wenwu's attitude, Gilgamesh's smile vanished. "Why?"
“Because you are an Eternal Race, while I am a human!” Xu Wenwu said bluntly.
"...I don't think this is a reason for us to fight!" Although he was tall and burly, the most robust among the Eternals, Gilgamesh was not a battle maniac and disliked fighting for no reason.
Although Xu Wenwu claimed to be human, this was somewhat unexpected for Gilgamesh. After all, the ten-ring in the other's hand did not look like a weapon that humans could make; it seemed more like a creation of a god.
But he still didn't want to engage in a pointless fight with the other side.
"Your mission is to ensure the birth of Tiamat, isn't it?" Xu Wenwu said calmly.
“…Alright, I understand. Although I don’t know where you found out about this, at least for now, I am indeed still the guardian of the gods!” Hearing Xu Wenwu reveal the greatest secret of the Eternals, Gilgamesh, even if he was reluctant to fight, understood that this battle was unavoidable.
They immediately assumed a fighting stance.
So what if he's just a human? Even if he possesses a weapon similar to one created by a god, he can be knocked down with a single punch.
Okay, I'll just use a fraction of my strength, and then ask him how he knew the secrets of the Eternal Race, and what's the deal with the ten metal rings on his hand.
However, once the battle began, Gilgamesh realized he had been careless.
Although the opponent was human, his fighting skills were exceptionally strong and extremely agile.
Despite his immense strength and comparable speed, Gilgamesh struggled to touch the hem of his opponent's clothes, no matter how many times he moved.
Instead, the opponent's ten rings, carrying immense cosmic energy, relentlessly bombarded Gilgamesh, causing tons of damage.
It's only because Gilgamesh has such strong defense that if it were one of the weaker members of the Eternals, they would probably have been killed on the spot by Xu Wenwu.
Of course, this was also because Xu Wenwu had received prior warnings from Gu Yi and Josie, and knew Gilgamesh's fighting characteristics, so he deliberately adopted hit-and-run tactics.
Otherwise, if he underestimates the other party and goes up to fight them head-on, he will be the one who suffers.
Although the Eternals are incredibly powerful as creations of the gods, their ten rings are equally extraordinary.
Even at his peak, a ten-ring score was so powerful that even a god could wound him.
Therefore, even if Xu Wenwu cannot fully utilize the power of the tenth ring, it is still enough to deal with an Eternal Clan member.
It can be said that Josie's decision to invite Xu Wenwu to deal with the Eternals was a very clever move, even though he paid a considerable price for it.
As the ten rings continued to bombard Gilgamesh, wounds began to appear on his body. Pale golden liquid slowly seeped from the wounds, dripped onto the ground, and was then absorbed by the earth and disappeared without a trace.
"...So, you Eternals actually bleed? Golden blood, making you look like real gods." Xu Wenwu stopped what he was doing, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Gilgamesh, whose body was still bleeding.
"Heh? Gods? We are nothing but a bunch of pathetic worms without memories or free will!" Gilgamesh knelt on the ground, panting heavily, and mocked himself.
As his body shattered and golden blood seeped out, Gilgamesh felt an unprecedented exhaustion and weakness—was this what it felt like to be on the verge of death?
The Eternals' immortality and tirelessness largely stem from the runes that the gods placed on their bodies when they created them—the same runes that appear on the bodies of the Eternals after they die in the movie.
And their blood—which is actually concentrated cosmic energy.
However, as their bodies are damaged and their energy is depleted, they naturally experience fatigue and weakness.
"Since that's the case, then let me help you find peace!" Upon hearing this, Xu Wenwu slowly approached, the energy of the ten rings continuously gathering in his hand.
"That won't do... Saint Na, Saint Na is still waiting for me to go back!" Gilgamesh chuckled and shot towards Xu Wenwu like a cannonball.
The distance was too close, leaving Xu Wenwu no room to dodge. He had no choice but to raise his hands to block the cross.
The invisible shockwave generated by the head-on collision swept wildly in all directions, forming a super air wave with a radius of hundreds of meters, stirring up countless clouds of dust that completely enveloped the two of them!
Chapter 233 The Death of the Speedster
While Gilgamesh and Xu Wenwu were engaged in a peak duel, Makari was following the whereabouts of three other mutant races.
Although there were three of them, and they were fleeing in completely different directions, Makari, with her speed, kept running and keeping watch among the three mutants, and managed not to lose track of any of them.
But as he followed along, Macari realized something was wrong.
She was shocked to discover that the three mutants were slowly merging together and moving in the same direction.
After a moment's thought, Makari ran ahead of the three-headed mutant and, after some investigation, finally located a low-lying valley.
After searching through the low-lying valley, she found a small, somewhat abandoned cabin.
Around the cabin, Makari easily found traces of the mutants' activity.
As a "scout" among the Eternals, Makari certainly possesses this ability.
However, upon closer inspection, Makari discovered that she could only find traces of the mutants leaving the area, but not of their arrival, as if the mutants had appeared out of thin air.
Moreover, judging from these traces, besides the mutant race, what appeared in the past was not only the mutant race, but also humans.
Why do humans exist?
Could it be that those mutant races are actually driven by humans?
But how did that human control the mutants? And why did they attack them?
Wait... if that's the case.
Makali immediately thought of the missing Golden Hook and Zhuke, and his face turned extremely gloomy.
