The monster was momentarily dazed by her power before returning to its former self. However, as he was about to rush toward her, a sword made of light pierced through its chest killing it instantly whilst Icarus came out from the hole with an awkward expression.
They saw a floating man flying above the monster, looking at them with a grin.
" Arthur Frost?"
Sprite murmured with puzzlement, not knowing what was happening. They couldn't believe he recovered this fast since he looked as good as new except for his semitransparent body.
He gently flew over them, standing before them with his iconic smile. He wasn't wearing his battle armor and somehow he felt odd. Especially Eternals knew his existence and power due to their duties and they knew he was the strongest human, yet currently he felt weak.
" Hello, my name is Arthur Frost. You might have heard of me in the media."
He extended his hand, expecting a handshake from them. Ikaris tried to shake his hand, but his hand just went past through his body which bewildered him and others.
" Um, who are you guys talking to?"
Dane couldn't perceive his existence, thinking he was seeing things, but his guts were telling him that something was standing before him.
" You can't see him?"
Sersi tilted her head, showing her confusion. The Eternals were indeed able to see ghosts and stuff that others wouldn't be able to see or perceive. However, being a ghost was a big problem because that meant he was either dead or in a coma.
" Well, as you can see I am a ghost. I can't fill you the details, but the current me isn't as strong as my usual self. Precisely hundredth of my true power, but it is enough to kill this thing or whatever. So the thing is I heard you can help me to materialize myself."
Arthur scratched his head, revealing his white teeth to them. The Eternals fell into silence not because they couldn't do it, they weren't the people who could do it. The awkward silence between them continued for a minute until Dane opened his mouth.
" Guys, I don't know what is happening to us, but shouldn't we head toward home? We can figure it out there."
His suggestion didn't face any objection as they went to their home. Their apartment was in a decent neighborhood and it wasn't that bad.
The apartment itself had 3 or 4 rooms which was big enough for 2 people to live.
" So, you are saying you have met with death and made a deal with it, but you can't use your body because it is damaged to atomic level? How are you still alive?"
Sprite asked with amazement, thinking it was impossible to survive such an attack unless they reached the top of the universe and their physical body had to be almost immortal.
" Well, life is a big surprise. I almost died a few times before. It isn't new to me."
His statement made all the people in the room sigh with different expressions. They didn't understand how he managed to live up to this point with this thinking. It was hard to believe that this man was both the strongest and smartest human on the planet with this logic.
" Our leader Ajak and inventor Phastos may know about your problem. If what you have told us is the truth, then we need a machine that can help you to stay in this space."
Sersi gave out tea as she spoke with a calm face. Ikaris folded his arms, peeping at her with a wry smile.
" Okay. We can head toward there immediately because I can use our warp technology to instantly get around the globe."
He snapped his fingers to teleport them, but nothing happened. He did again with a stoic face, trying to hide his embarrassment while activating his magic at the same time because he remembered he wasn't in his body.
Swoosh*
Miraculously they found themselves in the platform where the heroes of Eden constantly moving. They seemed to be extremely busy due to their schedule and villains.
" Welcome to Eden! Please follow me this way!"
An android walked toward them while gesturing for them to follow her. They saw the huge elevator as they followed her from behind.
