"I thought you would support the people of Earth because you like them." John smiled and said.
"Humanity has its own merits. They are arrogant. They think that they are above nature. But there is good in them. Your Avengers have demonstrated that quite a few times now. Making the Earth cleaner, saving people. There is so much potential in humanity. Nothing is perfect in this world. And humanity as a whole embraces that concept."
"True. But all of you won't be approving your stance when the truth comes out." John said.
"They will always listen to me." Ajak said, shaking her head as she was the leader and her command was the last one.
"Ikkaris will kill you." John said while sipping the juice given by Chansey. The juice was really sweet and he was loving it.
"What did you say?" Ajak eyes' went wide when John said that. Her voice croaked.
"You heard me right. He won't support your change of camps and will definitely kill you to stop the others from knowing the truth." John said.
"This is impossible." Ajak said.
"It is what it is, Ajak. When he will listen to your side of the story he won't take it lightly. That is what is supposed to happen." John said.
"You don't know him. He is a soldier. And soldiers listen to orders." Ajak said.
"A soldier that belongs to whom? You? No. He is a soldier who belongs to Arishem. He won't even hesitate to confront Sersi. Forget about you." John said.
"But he has never gone against my orders. Never. In all of thousands of years we have been together. Even on other planets." Ajak said.
"It doesn't matter Ajak. He won't listen. He is a believer of Arishem. A blind believer of a non caring God is a very dangerous thing. Anyway, how much time do we have left for the emergence?" John asked.
"A year or so. I will go and summon the others." Ajak said.
"A year. That is a long time. You don't need to summon them. I will come back to deal with this. Avengers will help you. We can handle the emergence but I want Sersi to handle Tiamat. I have plans for his body. Since they have abandoned this universe, I want to see how Arishem will react."
"Abandoned the universe. What does that mean?" Ajak said.
"Nothing. You will know in due time. But here is a FOCUS that is connected with the Guilty Spark. The moment he attacks you, you can just notify it and Guilty Spark of the Ring will teleport you near my home. Don't confront him. I have very special arrangements for him." John said with a smile.
"No. Please don't hurt him. He has just diverted from his path." Ajak said as she thought John would kill him. He had seen the power of the Avengers in the latest war. Ikkaris wouldn't stand a chance.
"He will get his time to place his ideals. If he is beyond redemption, we will have to put an end to it." John said.
"That is acceptable. But I wish to give him a chance. Since you say he will kill me, I want to see if he does that." Ajak said. Ajak really wanted to give him a chance and see if he could be saved from his false ideals.
"Fair enough. But if he persists, then he will be stopped. But don't put too many coins on your faith. Some people are beyond redemption." John said.
"I understand." Ajak replied.
"Alright then. I am off. I will be back soon. Since I have one year, I don't have much time left. Can't wait to meet Arishem." John said with a chilling smile. He was really waiting to meet Arishem now. John was now on his level and he couldn't wait to see the hypocrite Gods.
"Why do you seem so excited to meet him? He will kill you." Ajak said as she felt weird that John was so eager to meet Arishem. No matter how powerful the Avengers were, they still fell short against the Gods.
"Kill me? Hahaha.. Even I can't kill me. He will get a taste of his own medicine. But that is for the future. See you Ajak in a year or so." John said as he laughed. Ajak felt that John had gone insane. But she had her own thoughts now. She thought John was lying when he said Ikkaris would kill her. He believed in her comrades more than a random guy who just appeared.
But she can't prove that John was wrong. She needed to see it herself, and for that she needed to wait to meet him. She wasn't in contact with him and didn't know how to summon him. So all she could do now is wait.
And pray that whatever John said was a lie, or else it would really go down in an ugly manner.
