Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.
Chapter 511 Two Conditions, A Long-Awaited Bumper Harvest
Hearing that Aristom had finally relented, Frogman breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Peter with a smile. His pupil-less eyes were filled with anticipation.
Peter glanced at the big-headed man, then at Aristom's shattered half-head, and after a moment of silence, he spoke:
"This conflict started because the Celestials group had designs on Earth first, and this guy also initiated the fight."
Now that I have the upper hand, wouldn't it make me seem weak to accept peace talks unconditionally?
"So... a ceasefire is possible, but I have two conditions."
A red glint flashed in Arithm’s three eyes, clearly indicating his displeasure with Peter’s overreaching behavior.
On the distant Watchman, Black Egg almost knelt down before Peter upon hearing his words.
Damn it, can't you just shut up for once?!
Those are gods and observers of the universe!
An existence capable of destroying the Earth in an instant!
Instead of honestly accepting mediation, you're trying to negotiate and gain benefits. Have you ever considered the feelings of us ordinary people?
Even a dog's life is a life!
This person seems to have completely forgotten what kind of face they had when they were the director of S.H.I.E.L.D....
Noticing that the peace talks were on the verge of collapse, Frogtu quickly stepped in to smooth things over:
"Tell me your conditions first. If they're too unreasonable, I'll reject your demands outright!"
Peter sheathed the Black Death Sword and spoke calmly:
"First, the Eternals, including Cersei, must be set free. They chose to fight against the Celestials to help me, and I cannot let them go back to face your judgment."
Upon hearing this, both Frog and Arithmite subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't an unreasonable request.
To beings like them, Cersei and the other Eternals were nothing.
The Eternals, as a race created by the celestial ancestors, are essentially robots that they created by hand and can be mass-produced.
In their city, it's safe to say that as long as the machines are turned on, countless Eternals can be produced.
In the original story, the reason he kidnapped Cecilia and the others was to weigh whether or not Earth should be destroyed.
Now, because of Peter's existence, the judgment on Earth has become a joke. Under these circumstances, whether or not to let Cersei and the others go has naturally become a trivial matter.
Under Frogtu's expectant gaze, Arithm nodded slightly:
"No problem, I can agree to that request. Now, tell me your second condition!"
"Don't worry, my second condition isn't something unacceptable to you either."
Peter spoke, pointing to the shattered fragments of Arithm's head in the void:
"That means leaving these fragments behind!"
Ok? !
Upon hearing this, both Arithm and Frogtu's expressions changed. Frogtu, who was already biased towards Earth, directly warned them:
"Mr. Peter, are you planning to leave these fragments behind as proof that you once defeated the Celestials?"
The bias in this question couldn't be more obvious; it was practically telling Peter directly not to answer that way.
On the other side, a dangerous red light also appeared in the remaining three eyes of Aristom. It was clear that if Peter's answer showed any sign of wanting to prove to other races that he had once defeated the Celestials, he would immediately turn hostile.
Fortunately, Peter wasn't that lacking in emotional intelligence, or rather, he never had such a ridiculous idea in the first place:
"No, no, no, you've misunderstood me. I don't have any weird hobby of collecting trophies to show off."
"The reason I let you leave these fragments is simply because your body fragments are a very advanced metal to Earth, which can easily drive the technological progress of Earth."
As a Celestial being, Arithm's body fragments are even more advanced than vibranium and uru metal.
Peter remembered a comic book storyline he had read in his previous life, in which Odin, in order to fight against the Celestials, not only used the Destroyer armor, but also used the entire wealth of Asgard to forge a Celestial Sword.
As a result, this divine sword, which Odin had placed great hopes on, was melted by Aristem when he held the blade with one hand.
Not only Odin, but Thor in the comics also has a history of challenging the Celestials.
He used Mjolnir, which was empowered by divine power, to attack a Celestial member with all his might. The Celestial member was unharmed, but Thor himself was knocked unconscious by his own attack.
Both of these episodes demonstrate the exceptional defensive capabilities of Arithm and the other Celestials.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Peter is only asking for material evidence of half of Arithm's head.
But in reality, Aristam's size was comparable to that of Earth; half of his head was about the size of a Himalayas!
Such a massive amount of Celestial body fragments could hardly be used to upgrade the artifacts of the entire Avengers.
Even after sacrificing half, there's more than enough to upgrade Ishtar!
This was a real fortune for Peter.
Hearing this, Frog Tu breathed a sigh of relief, then tentatively looked at Arithm and said:
"Sir Judge, what is your opinion?"
Arithm paused for a moment. He certainly wanted to refuse Peter's request, but perhaps it was because of the "broken windows theory".
After hesitating for a moment, he finally changed his mind.
It's just half a head of material; it'll grow back in a hundred or so years.
A hundred years is a long time for humans, but for the gods who have lived for hundreds of billions of years, it is just a blink of an eye.
Thinking of this, Arithm said with a displeased expression:
"That's possible, but you must assure me that no other race in the universe knows that this fragment was obtained from the Celestials."
You must ensure that the Celestials' prestige remains unaffected; otherwise, the Celestials will undoubtedly retaliate against you and Earth to the death.
"Deal!" Peter answered without hesitation this time, even showing a friendly smile.
Upon hearing this, Wa Tu breathed a sigh of relief. He reached out and made a clenching motion in the air, and a blue light imprinted an inconspicuous pattern on both of them like a stamp.
"The contract is complete." The observer's voice remained calm, but his tone held an unusual gentleness.
"Mr. Judge, please leave now. As for you, the Arbitrator, please return to your Earth. This dispute is now over, and neither side is allowed to go back on their word."
Anyone who violates this rule will be held accountable by all observers!
Upon hearing this, Arithm's massive body glowed red, and his form vanished in a twist.
Peter, meanwhile, gleefully splashed the scattered fragments of his head everywhere.
Although they failed to defeat Arithm, it was still a huge success for them!
