If it's like in the comics, then it's not reliable. Forget about it.
The focus is on some members inside, like Professor X, Beast, Mister Fantastic, and the like.
Humans are obviously not just humans in this universe.
Aron, however, had not found any evidence of the existence of mutants.
But several other members…
Such as Black Panther from Wakanda, Namor from Atlantis, and Black Bolt from the Inhumans, that is already more likely.
Black Panther and Namor could certainly exist in this universe.
As for Black Bolt…
Aron had never been to the Moon, so he couldn't be sure.
But on Earth there were Inhumans, like Skye, who was a typical example of an Inhuman.
Thinking about this, Aron asked:
"So, who are the members of your Illuminati so far?"
He wondered if Tony had already made contact with Atlantis at the bottom of the sea.
Or maybe with Attilan on the Moon.
But what he did not expect was…
"That…"
"For now…"
"If you join, there will be two of you." Tony touched his nose and said somewhat embarrassed.
"…?"
Aron was speechless. Was this guy making a fool of him?
"Don't be like that. Wasn't you the first person I thought of?"
"That shows how important you are in my plan."
Tony tried to put on a serious expression, then added:
"I already made a list. You, Aron, the most powerful hero on Earth, demon hunter, Lord of Hell… Satan…"
"Cut the nonsense, just say it." Aron looked disgusted.
"Fine. Besides you, I intend to invite the new king of Wakanda, T'Challa."
"Then Dr. Banner."
"Finally, the mage Daniel from New York, but for that, I'll probably need your help to win him over." Tony smiled nervously.
"…"
Aron was shocked when he heard the list.
That's it?
T'Challa and Banner?
And you're even counting Daniel, whom I haven't seen in a long time?
"Tony, this is even worse than I thought."
"I thought you had at least made contact with Atlantis or Attilan."
"…"
"What? Atlantis?" Tony looked confused. He didn't understand what the legendary underwater city had to do with the Illuminati.
"Alright, don't bother me anymore. Unless the problem reaches the level of a threat to destroy the entire Earth, handle it yourselves."
"If I start acting, you won't have anything left to do, one by one you'll all become useless." Aron waved his hand.
Only then did he understand the Ancient One and Odin.
Why, when the Chitauri attacked, did they all just watch and not interfere?
It turned out they were giving the young ones a chance to prove themselves.
"Good job, Tony, I'm optimistic about you." Aron finally felt what it was like to be a big player.
After finishing the game, he stood up, patted Tony on the shoulder, and was about to leave.
"I wanted to establish the Illuminati because I met a woman."
Just as Aron was about to leave, Tony suddenly stood up and said.
"Her name is Ajak."
"She found me recently."
"I thought it was all a joke… but it wasn't."
"She claims to be a member of the Eternal Race, a messenger of the Celestial Gods. That's not the most important part…"
"What matters is that she revealed to me the terrible catastrophes that are coming."
Tony was now serious.
That was the reason he wanted to establish the Illuminati.
"???"
People in the internet café turned to him in surprise.
Several pairs of eyes were staring at Tony Stark!
And then, another reaction: What? Catastrophes?
In an instant, the internet café was buzzing with whispers.
"You know the Illuminati is a secret organization, right?"
As more and more people gathered around them, Aron cursed, opened a portal, and kicked Tony inside.
---
The interior of the New York Sanctum.
Tony, who Aron had kicked through the portal, rolled twice on the floor before stopping.
"Why do you kick me every time?" Tony's voice was full of dissatisfaction.
If he remembered correctly, every time he went through Aron's portal, he would be thrown out as if spat out.
"Because that's how it should be." Aron entered the New York Sanctum.
As soon as he stepped inside, he saw the Ancient One, who was sitting on the sofa and talking to Wanda.
"Ahem, Ancient One." Aron greeted.
"…"
"I just played a match, picked Batman, lost, and finished with a score of 9/2/1."
"Am I right, boy?" The Ancient One turned her head with an expression as if she had caught him being lazy.
Immediately after, she turned to Wanda and her face softened into a warm smile.
"Child, Chaos Magic has endless possibilities. I will teach you how to use it." The Ancient One was obviously pleased with Wanda.
In her eyes, it was like watching her own successor.
"…"
"This old woman doesn't have the Eye of Agamotto, so how does she know everything?" Aron muttered to himself.
The Eye of Agamotto still existed, but the Ancient One somehow saw what he was doing.
Did she also know the final outcome of his game?
Was she literally cutting his connection every time?
Aron couldn't figure it out, so he gave up thinking and decided to return to the matter at hand.
"Tony, now you can tell that story about the Eternal Race."
They continued the conversation they had started earlier in the internet café.
The Ancient One, although she seemed to be listening to Wanda, secretly pulled out her phone. When the screen lit up, it displayed a message:
Your friend, the first Batman in the United States, is offline.
Click to view opponent's personal results.
…
"So…"
"This Eternal named Ajak."
"She said that this planet, Earth, is an incubator, pregnant with a celestial being."
"And mutants? They will also soon awaken?" Aron listened to Tony's explanation.
For the first time, he was genuinely confused.
The main reason was that he had never watched the movie Eternals before crossing into this world. He had heard that the movie was a disaster.
Still, he knew a thing or two about Celestials from the comics.
But the movie version, he didn't know.
Was Tony telling the truth or just rambling?
Which Celestial uses Earth as an incubator?
Earth, giving birth to a "child of gods," and then being destroyed?
"I don't know what to think about this…" Aron said, then suddenly turned to the Ancient One.
"Ancient One, do you know about this?"
"I do." She nodded.
"???"
"Then why do you act like you don't care?" Aron was shocked. The destruction of Earth and she could watch calmly?
I'm literally sitting on a time bomb!
"What's the panic? I've seen what will happen. Someone will stop it."
"And honestly, by the time Tiamut is born, I will already be long dead."
"By the way, Tiamut is the name of that celestial embryo inside Earth."
"I spoke to him once."
"He's a good person."
