"It's not because that speedster stole your things, and their existence is to ensure the birth of gods, which would lead to the destruction of humanity, right?" Xu Wenwu replied.

“That’s right, that’s the apparent reason, but in fact, it’s not just my idea, it’s also the will of the one in the Earth’s core!” Josie nodded, and then said a fact that shocked everyone, including the two surviving Eternals.

"This is impossible!" While the rest of Josie's team and Xu Wenwu were somewhat confused, the Water Sprite and Saint Na were completely unable to accept it.

Because of what happened before, they already knew that the Eternals came to Earth to protect Tiamat and ensure her birth.

Although they were deeply hurt by the previous concealment and the fact that they themselves did not actually have free will.

But ultimately, they are still on Tiamat's side.

Now Josie says that it is Tiamat who wants to destroy their Eternals.

How could they possibly accept this?

It feels like you've painstakingly raised a child, only for that child to turn around and stab you in the back—ah, Arthas, we're not talking about you here.

"...Really?" When Josie explained the details, not only Sainta and the Water Sprite, but even Xu Wenwu was stunned.

A god who could have been high above all others was willing to sacrifice himself for the survival of humanity.

What kind of great emotion is this?

"If you don't believe me, come with me to meet Mother Earth, and you'll see!" Qiao Xi said with a smile when she saw Xu Wenwu's horrified expression.

Huh? Xu Wenwu was even more confused.

To see Tiamat? How can one see her? This mother of the earth is merely a celestial embryo within the earth, unknown and deep beneath its surface. How can one possibly meet her?

But with Josie's explanation, he understood.

It turns out that after seeing the message and images that Tiamat passed to Josie in his dream last year, Josie actually spent a lot of money to obtain the development rights of the Canary Islands, located in the West African waters of the Atlantic Ocean, which belong to Spain, from Franco.

This archipelago is also the location of the final civil war of the Eternals and the appearance of Tiamat in the movie.

This is also the closest point to Tiamat's head—about 40,000 meters underground.

After acquiring the development rights to the Canary Islands, Josie continuously purchased more engineering robots from Lawrence in the Robot World. Combined with the millions of robots she had previously purchased, they worked tirelessly, day and night, year after year, to carefully dig and drill.

As a result, Josie has halted all development projects, including Jurassic Park, Sulawesi, and many others.

Finally, a week before contacting Xu Wenwu, they discovered Tiamat's location.

This also allowed Josie to have her first direct encounter with Mother Earth, the mother of this world.

Good heavens, thank goodness I didn't have any wicked thoughts, otherwise I would have been facing a real god.

Xu Wenwu looked at Qiao Xi, who was talking eloquently in front of him, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Although he was confident in his own strength, he was not blindly arrogant. The Ancient One alone was beyond his reach, let alone a true god.

Even if this god is, in a sense, still just an "infant".

The reason Qiao Xi told Xu Wenwu all this was actually to win him over and subdue him.

Despite his ambitious and bloody past, Xu Wenwu is actually a man who values ​​relationships and keeps his promises.

At least he's more reliable than those guys on the nine-person council.

If you get along well with them, even if you can't completely subdue them, they can still become a good ally.

Moreover, given Qiao Xi's current confidence, she is not afraid of Xu Wenwu betraying her at all.

Soon, Josie had the others continue cleaning up the scene, while he, along with Xu Wenwu, two of his trusted subordinates, and several corpses of the Eternals, boarded the plane and headed towards the West African waters where Tiamat was located.

After several hours of flight, crossing half the globe, the plane soon arrived at Fuerteventura Island in the Canary Islands, where the excavation site was located.

"...It must have been quite an achievement to drill a 30,000-meter-deep well in such a place. But won't such a deep well cause problems?" Looking down at the volcano with wisps of smoke rising from the plane, Xu Wenwu couldn't help but sigh and raise his doubts.

Yes, just like in the movies, Fuerteventura is a volcanic island, and an active one at that.

To be precise, not only Fuerteventura, but most of the Canary Islands are active volcanic islands, with extremely frequent volcanic activity, erupting roughly every few decades.

The entire archipelago is essentially formed from erupted volcanic lava that was cooled and accumulated by seawater over millions of years.

However, considering that the archipelago is located deep underground, the closest point to Tiamat, this level of volcanic activity doesn't seem too surprising.

“Normally speaking, such a project is indeed extremely difficult and dangerous, but fortunately we have vibranium… Don’t worry about it, I’ve invested almost half of my vibranium in this project, and what I can sell you is already the limit!” Josie said with emotion when talking about the project.

Excavating to a depth of over 30,000 meters is something that no country in Josh's previous world could accomplish.

Even in the world of Red Alert, there is no project of this scale.

If it weren't for special materials like vibranium, even the technology of Yuri and Lawrence's world wouldn't be able to support a project of this scale.

After all, beyond a certain depth, the high temperatures, geology, and various other complex issues underground would be enough to stump all the scientists in the worlds that Josie could access.

Moreover, even with vibranium, a super-strong metal, the entire drilling process still resulted in more than a dozen accidents and consumed a large amount of vibranium.

If the entire project hadn't been carried out by hardworking robots, and if Josie hadn't acquired a massive amount of vibranium from the remnants of Wakanda last year, it simply wouldn't have been able to sustain the project.

However, in the long run, being able to make contact with Tiamat, the mother of the earth, a god who is not yet fully formed, makes all the price worthwhile.

Upon hearing that the project had consumed a large amount of vibranium and that he was unwilling to provide more, Xu Wenwu could only shrug and express his regret.

This time, his willingness to accept Josie's request was not only due to his own interest, but also largely due to the influence of vibranium.

After all, this thing is already a semi-public fact in this world, but its resources are still tightly controlled by a few major countries.

Even Xu Wenwu's Ten Rings Gang could only obtain a very small amount through various means.

He would be very happy to get more if he could.

However, since Josh had already said that, he couldn't say anything more.

Moreover, he shared Josie's view that the project connecting Tiamat was worthwhile, no matter how much vibranium it consumed.

After all, vibranium, no matter how powerful, is still just a metal. It can't possibly explode a planet, can it?

But if it's a god, then destroying a planet would be a matter of minutes.

Although Tiamat is unlikely to make it out for now, and seems to be seeking death.

But as long as that day hasn't come, anything is possible.

"Put it on. There's no oxygen down there, and the temperature is terrifyingly high. It's something we humans can't withstand!" Josie said to Xu Wenwu, pointing to the protective suit the robot had brought over.

After the plane landed, the two were quickly led to a huge construction site by robots on the island.

In the very center of the construction site stands a building with a unique shape and a very large footprint.

Upon reaching the center of the building, they were greeted by a large elevator lobby.

This elevator is the only way to Tiamat.

However, before they could go down, they had to put on the special protective suits made of vibranium, similar to spacesuits.

Chapter 235 Mother of Life on Earth

The two quickly put on their protective suits and entered the elevator.

However, Sainta and the Water Sprite, who were brought along with them, did not receive the same treatment.

But it doesn't matter. The bodies of the Eternals are inherently very strong. As long as they are not directly immersed in magma, a little bit of high temperature and pressure will have no effect on them at all, and they don't need oxygen at all.

"Can you feel it?" As the elevator descended rapidly, Qiao Xi, wearing a bulky protective suit, spoke to Xu Wenwu beside her through the communication device inside the suit.

"Yes... Majestic... Benevolent... Vast... Is this Mother Earth?" Xu Wenwu exclaimed, feeling the inexplicable aura surrounding him as he went deeper underground.

“Yes, but such a great being is willing to sacrifice herself for us insignificant beings. How can we bear to let her down?” Josie sighed. Although he was a transmigrator and theoretically had no great connection with Tiamat, it did not prevent him, as a human, from feeling a sense of empathy for her.

"What? You've come up with a solution?" Xu Wenwu had learned about the destruction caused by the Divine Manifestation from Qiao Xi before, so he couldn't help but ask.

"I can only say that I have a preliminary idea!" Josie smiled and didn't say much more.

Seeing this, Xu Wenwu felt a little impatient, but he did not continue to ask questions.

Ding! After a full half hour of operation, the elevator finally arrived at the bottom.

As the elevator doors opened, a bright space the size of a football field appeared before the two of them.

However, the reason it is bright here is not because there are many lighting facilities.

Moreover, this is because, apart from a passage in the center of the space, the rest of the area is almost entirely filled with boiling lava pools.

"...I mean, if this volcano really erupts, we won't have anywhere to escape to, will we?" Xu Wenwu couldn't help but smirk as he looked at the scene before him.

If Josie hadn't been there for him, he would have suspected that this was a deadly trap.

"Don't worry, our protective suits have a teleportation function. As long as there is any abnormality in the environment here, we will be teleported to a safe place!" Josie reassured him.

...Good heavens, why didn't you say you had a backup plan sooner?

But a space teleportation device? Is MD's technology that advanced now?

Upon hearing Qiao Xi's words, Xu Wenwu couldn't help but inwardly complain.

The two men, each carrying a captured Eternal, continued along the road until they finally stopped at the end of the road in front of a circular "hill" that was entirely golden and covered with mysterious runes.

"What is this...?" Xu Wenwu hesitated as he looked at the golden hill.

Sainta and the water sprite looked at the golden hill with despair in their eyes.

It turns out that this human was indeed acting on Tiamat's orders... but they didn't understand why this goddess, who hadn't yet fully emerged, would do this, when they were the ones protecting her!

“This is Tiamat’s fingertip… This alone is enough for us to communicate with her, and digging any deeper would be too risky and could hurt her. This is just right!” Josie said, placing her hand on the golden “hill”.
