" I am a person who will protect this world even if it is facing a true God."
Arthur looked at the giant creature before him with a cold face despite their size difference. His eyes never wavered before him.
A few minutes ago.
" We are landing on the island where we picked the gamma radiation hike. The energy waves of this island are spiking and we are ready to deploy more units at your command."
Skynet said lightly, looking at her creator with a calm gaze. She didn't care about other living beings except the ones in the city and this planet's people. Hence, it was her duty to stand in the front with Arthur.
" Good. Prepare for the fall of future protocol in the worst case."
Arthur spoke calmly, looking below the plane with a serious face. He saw the fight had already begun to unfold and he saw Makkari and others were battling against Ikaris whilst Thena was fighting Kro who almost killed Gilgamesh.
" Did you find him?"
Arthur asked silently, thinking he might not return from this battle because he wasn't just fighting against Eternals, he was fighting against the gods of the universe as a mortal, yet he remained steady.
" Lord Gilgamesh has been found and we are thinking of ways to crack his seal but it appears that someone had been stealing his magic power prior to our arrival."
Skynet relayed the report to Arthur who understood the enemies were still lurking and war between the good and bad was starting after his coma.
" Then I will be off."
He warped himself to the island, looking at the volcanoes that were spitting out fire. The ground cracked, creating noise that was similar to the heartbeat and the entire ocean was beating with its rhythm, showing this being was big enough to destroy this planet but he remained calm.
" Jean, connect me to him. I want to talk with him."
Arthur sat on the ground, feeling the immense energy from the deep. His eyes were closed as he found himself in a space where everything was white.
" You have come to me, human. I was expecting you."
A celestial which was enough to shadow an entire planet was standing there with jet black armor. His eyes were looking at Arthur and he seemed to know about him.
" Why do you want to destroy our planet, celestial? We have done nothing to you."
Arthur didn't dodge from his gaze, showing his bravery against the God of this universe despite knowing he could kill him at any time.
" Every planet has cycles of life and your planet has reached its end. It will meet the same fate as other planets had before. Don't worry for out of your heroes' respect, I will personally request a record for your planet."
The celestial showed the images of planets being destroyed and a great being that ruled the destruction. The memory showed the purpose of their destruction and the end of all things but Arthur didn't faze before it because he didn't agree with him.
" We deserve to decide our fate, not you. I will stop you and I will protect this planet for the rest of my life because countless people need my help. This planet is my home and resting place."
Arthur whispered softly under his gaze, telling his determination to save this planet which made the celestial sigh. He thought only Arthur and a few beings would understand him due to their high intelligence but in the end, humans were emotional creatures.
" I see. Then I will proceed to resurface. Do your best to stop me."
The connection between the two of them was cut off as Arthur woke up from his dream, finding himself near Thena who was struggling.
He gently dusted off his clothes as he dashed next to her with incredible burst speed. This time he wasn't tired and he was ready to bust some ass.
" What took you so long?"
Thena asked with a pale face because they planned to defeat him together even though she requested a duel against him. Other Eternals just turned a blind eye to her request and agreed with Arthur who was thinking she might need help.
" He didn't agree with us."
Arthur said with a low tone.
