บท 385: The corpse

"So these are the people you gathered to stop a baby God. I thought you had more faith in us." Arthur said, pointing at the team with fancy dresses that were standing side by side.

"I do. But they are more qualified to bring it down. Plus, we get the benefits later too." John defended using this new team that he just gathered to stop the emergence of Tiamat.

"Are you sure they would handle the emergence?" Clark asked. Clark was brought up to speed with everything going on in this world so he had the full idea of what was going on.

"It should be. If anything goes wrong, we are here." John assured them. And as they were talking there was finally a huge earthquake. As a huge golden head with 6 shining eyes and hands emerged, meanwhile, all the Eternals got connected with the uni-mind.

"Jesus, how big is this thing?" Banner asked.

"Bigger than earth itself and they can go bigger in size too." John said.

"And you said Black Winter is bigger?" Thor asked.

"Yes bigger than Galactus. I am sure, Norrin has described him for you." John said.

The Eternals finally got fully connected and Sersi used the energy that he had gathered by connecting Tiamat and the uni-mind to stop the emergence of him and transform it into a huge statue.

And thus Tiamat's emergence was stopped in exactly the same way as it did in the actual story. The head, some of his fingers and a small part of the body was out of the ocean. The earthquake generated by its emergence was felt everywhere in the surroundings.

"So this went as I planned." John said.

"You have been raising hue and cry for this?" Tony asked as he had a mocking tone in it. They had stopped it with almost no problems.

"Well not for this, the person who would show up for us stopping it." John said. The Eternals who had just stopped came near the Avengers who were standing and looking at them

"Thank you for helping us stop Tiamat. It would have been messy if it was up to us." John said.

"We needed to be out of the influence of our makers.. Thank you for believing in us." Ajak said.

"Now you are all free to go and live your life. But I will say this, Arishem will come for you. You have violated your own makers. This won't go down well."

All got silent when John said this. That was what they were scared about. And they didn't know how they would face Arishem.

"Don't worry. Since you have handled Tiamat we will handle Arishem. The Avengers don't go back on their promise. We will even help you with Thena's problem." John said.

"Thank you." all the Eternals expressed their gratitude for the Avengers' trust in them. Even though they were powerful, in reality they are far behind in power levels as compared to the Avengers. Just the fact that the Avengers had let them take the initiative in such a huge matter showed that the Avengers trusted them.

"Now for our part." John said and then slowly an orange gate opened. A huge sword-like weapon came out. It was a sword like weapon but it wasn't actually a sword. It had a hand guard, the blade part was the tip of the sword but it was twisted and the body of the sword was cylindrical. The weapon looked like all other weapons and not at the same time.

Yes, it was Ea, the Sword of Rupture.

Those who knew what that sword was gasped. They understood what this sword meant. This sword was the most powerful weapon in Gilgamesh's treasury.

"What are you going to do with it?" Wayne asked as John took Ea in his hand.

"There is such a good corpse of God here. We can't just let it be there for just a show. Can we? We need to use the body for further research. Don't you think so." John said.

"You are not going to leave a corpse intact?" Arthur asked.

"Of course no. We will use every means possible for fighting Black Winter." John said.

"But this power can be dangerous." Vision said.

"It is. But we will have to try. Besides, it isn't the first time that humans have used the body of a Celestial. Tony in different worlds have used it multiple times." John said. All looked at Tony with big eyes when John said that.

"You are courageous Stark. I have got to say that." Thor said after putting his hand on the shoulders. Tony on the other had a gleam in his eyes.

"Did I turn this into a bad weapon?" Tony asked.

"Wow Tony now you even think of the consequences? You have changed a lot." Clint said.

"Normally I don't. But that Strange from that Earth reminded me that I need to be in my limits. I have gained more power recently, so I need to know if I am crossing a line."

Thank you.
