As one of the most powerful Eternals, Ikaris hadn't fought in a long time. Although there were many powerful individuals on this planet, none were worthy of his attention.
This was the powerful confidence he had built up over thousands of years of fighting on Earth, constantly hunting Deviants in conjunction with the other Eternals.
"That's right, although their appearance is a bit strange, they should be Deviants."
Having received a message from his lover Sersi, Ikaris flew over at top speed, using his super vision to observe the Xenomorphs. A look of hesitation appeared on his face, but he quickly dismissed it—these things might be a new breed of Deviant.
After all, Deviants were creatures with powerful mutation genes, capable of changing their body shape based on the power of the strong creatures they absorbed.
Although, apart from the one feeding inside the house, the other Deviants in front of him seemed to be universally weak.
He looked into the house again, staring at the Abomination, which had already become a pile of minced meat. He couldn't tell how the Abomination had died from this terrible mess, but it didn't matter.
"This Deviant has taken the life energy of that ugly creature to complete its evolution, but what's with this terrible way of eating?"
Ikaris's expression was stern.
Relying on absorbing other creatures to become stronger was indeed a natural ability of the Deviants, but this absorption wasn't done by eating them raw. They were supposed to use flesh tubes to pierce the target's body and absorb energy.
What kind of strange abilities had these Deviants evolved? How had they regressed?
Even stranger, the remaining Deviants should all be frozen in the ice lake in Alaska. How could a few have suddenly run out...
And so blatantly.
"Why are you mixed up with these Deviants? Do you know how dangerous these things are?" Ikaris crossed his arms, his voice cold as he looked down at Duval.
"Deviants? You've mistaken them," Duval said, knowing why this guy had come.
Ikaris was also a treacherous fellow, deceiving the other 10 members of the Eternals and not telling them that there was a last batch of Deviants hiding in Alaska.
These 11 Eternals were completely different from Thanos's ancestors—the group that migrated from Earth to Titan and self-reproduced. They were professional hitmen directly created by the Celestials, their past memories repeatedly wiped clean.
Each time they completed a mission—protecting a lifeform group to grow and accelerating the birth of a young Celestial in the Earth's core—their memories would be erased by the Celestials and they would be thrown into other life-bearing planets, repeating the cycle.
But there were exceptions. Some Eternals would occasionally have strange, fragmented thoughts pop into their heads, those were memory fragments that hadn't been completely wiped clean.
Ikaris vaguely sensed that his memories were wrong, but he was smart enough not to reveal it.
"The Earth's ecosystem could not have given birth to creatures of this shape. They are not native to Earth," Ikaris said coldly. "You don't even know what Deviants are, and you lack reverence for me, who protected you and your ancestors."
"Reverence my ass, bullshit."
Duval's tone was mild. He knew very well that Ikaris was a powerful and stubborn guy. Since he had appeared, he wouldn't leave until he achieved his goal, so he simply said, "You keep talking about the Deviants, so in your head, is the idea of protecting ordinary humans more important, or is it more about covering up the news?"
Ikaris's expression changed slightly, not entirely because he was humiliated by Duval, but more because... this human seemed to know about the Eternals and Deviants, and also knew that he was hiding secret information related to the Deviants? Was it a coincidence, or a deliberate test?
Ikaris's eyes instantly flashed with golden light, and a Heat Vision beam shot out. It was foreseeable that this attack could completely obliterate an ordinary human.
But at this moment, the Abomination Xenomorph, whose body had expanded by a circle in a very short time, finished eating, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, easily smashed through the wall and rushed out, grabbing Ikaris in the blink of an eye and performing a body slam.
Boom!
This unreserved force smashed a deep pit into the ground.
"Is this your way of protecting humans? Completely reckless, to kill the so-called Deviants, even taking out unidentified humans along with them?" Duval's entire body was firmly protected behind the Abomination Xenomorph, and he spoke slowly at this moment.
"You're not ignorant, you know we're protecting humans, you know we're exterminating Deviants, who are you? Why do you know these things!"
Ikaris flew up unharmed, surprised by the Xenomorph's strength, but through this exchange, he had already assessed the Xenomorph's strength, which was far inferior to his.
He could kill it, it would just take a little time.
What concerned him more was the composure and calmness that Duval showed, not even blinking, as if he was very clear about his methods and had already prepared himself mentally.
This human had a problem, a big problem, and he could even get the protection of the Deviants. It simply subverted Ikaris's understanding, knowing that the Deviants themselves were a species that specialized in devouring humans.
But no matter what the problem was, it was nothing in the face of absolute strength. Ikaris just wanted to kill Duval and these "Deviants" as soon as possible, and cover up the news as much as possible.
Boom! Ikaris flew out like a cannonball, hitting the Abomination Xenomorph's chest. As Duval precisely moved to the side, Ikaris smashed through several buildings in one breath. Countless vibrations echoed through the sky. Obviously, the damage he caused with this attack was more serious than the damage caused by the Abomination's battle with Hulk.
Other Eternals might pay attention to protecting innocent people, but he didn't care.
In thousands of years of fighting, they had more than once fought against Deviants in the downtown area in front of ordinary humans.
Especially Ikaris, he felt that he had made great contributions to mankind, protecting countless humans to reproduce normally. What was the problem with affecting some people in a fight? Was there a problem?
Ikaris clenched his fists, raised his strong chest muscles, and coldly watched the towering fire that suddenly erupted in the high-rise building in front of him, which had been smashed with a huge hole.
Who knows whose gas tank exploded.
But whatever.
The Abomination Xenomorph didn't care either.
It emerged unscathed, silent, flicking its sharp, flexible tail. Its legs, brimming with terrifying power, instantly bulged with muscle, unleashing horrifying force.
The Abomination Xenomorph crashed back in almost the same way, sending Ikaris flying, stirring up endless rubble and screams.
"How come there are more monsters?! Didn't they finish fighting on Broadway just now?!"
"No, no way, what's going on today? Two more crazy guys appeared!"
At first, some citizens thought Ikaris was a Superman, and the Abomination Xenomorph, whose physique was somewhat similar to Abomination and Hulk, was a villain.
But seconds later, they knew that neither of these guys was any good, and neither of them cared about their lives!
The only difference was that the one who looked more like a human didn't care about ordinary people at all when he attacked, aiming for vital points with every move, wishing he could kill the enemy with one punch.
And the guy who looked like the Abomination Xenomorph, although he was also extremely ugly and ferocious, with exaggerated muscles and strange bone spurs, seemed to want to find another place to fight, always grabbing Ikaris with his big hands and smashing him towards more distant and remote areas.
Even if it was beaten back by Ikaris the next second, occasionally crushing unlucky citizens to death.
