On the street, pedestrians bustled about, the crowds surging.
Several street artists were painting graffiti on a wall, attracting police intervention and drawing quite a few onlookers.
Alex suddenly appeared just like that, standing in the middle of the road. At this moment, a burst of exclamations came from behind him.
He turned around.
He saw several people running out from beneath a pedestrian bridge crossing the street.
A man was leading a girl of about ten years old, with an Asian woman wearing a green dress and a hat following behind them.
They seemed to be fleeing from something, running toward Alex in a panic.
The next moment, a huge black shadow suddenly swept over the top of the pedestrian bridge.
The thing looked like a gigantic blue lizard, with several braid-like tentacles trailing from the back of its head. It was clearly pursuing the three people ahead.
At this moment, the Asian woman stopped and pressed a hand against the ground. A golden pattern immediately appeared on the ground.
Then the hard concrete surface turned into mud, and the giant blue lizard's body immediately sank, half of it submerging into the mud.
Golden patterns appeared on the ground again, and the mud turned into ice. The giant lizard was immediately frozen.
Only then did the woman catch up with her companions.
Seeing this scene.
Alex finally knew which part of the story this was.
And he also knew where he was.
He should be in London now.
What had happened was the plot of Eternals.
The giant blue lizard chasing the three people was a Deviant.
The little girl and the Asian woman were immortal Eternals.
The man could basically be ignored. He was just an ordinary person.
Sure enough.
Some lines of text quickly appeared before his eyes, confirming Alex's guess.
[You have actively initiated a multiverse event.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Event Name: Eternals.]
[Description: One million years ago, a cosmic race known as the "Celestials" created the superpowered Eternals and Deviants. The two races have been fighting each other ever since. In the process, the Eternals on Earth gradually uncovered the Celestials' conspiracy and fought to protect Earth. You descended when the Deviants reappeared. No one knows what kind of changes your arrival will cause.]
[Event Requirements: None.]
[Note: You may act freely. When you leave this universe, the event will end. Your actions during the event will be evaluated, and rewards will be issued.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Event begins!]
"Careful, get out of there!"
By the time Alex finished reading the information, the giant lizard had already broken free of its restraints and was charging toward him.
At this moment, Sersi, who looked like an Asian woman but was actually one of the members of the "Eternals," shouted at Alex.
Although Phastos of the "Eternals" was quite irritating, Alex had a pretty good impression of Sersi.
She often helped humans. Just like now, even though she had become a hunting target herself, she still disregarded her own safety to warn Alex to leave.
"Although that's a little meddlesome."
Alex raised his hand and caught the head of the Deviant charging toward him, then violently slammed it into the ground.
The giant lizard immediately did a headfirst somersault.
Its head was almost smashed into the road by Alex, while its enormous body stood upright.
Alex raised his leg and kicked. The Deviant flew backward and crashed into the pedestrian bridge ahead, its body embedded in the bridge.
Sersi could not help opening her mouth wide.
She had just thought Alex was an ordinary person who was about to suffer an undeserved disaster. She had not expected the situation to change in the next second, with the one suffering instead being that Deviant.
"That's amazing. Is he Doctor Strange?"
"You don't understand. Doctor Strange is a sorcerer."
"Look at him. Does he look like a sorcerer?"
"I guess he's Thor."
"Bullshit. Thor uses a hammer. Do you see a hammer in his hand?"
The passersby began discussing quietly.
Sersi looked at the Deviant. Good grief, the giant lizard's neck had been twisted out of shape, and it looked like it was probably already dead.
Such strength, in her impression, was something only her friend Gilgamesh could achieve.
Just then, the Deviant's neck suddenly returned to normal. Then it pressed both hands against the bridge and pushed itself up, dropping down from the bridge.
It then began running, getting faster and faster, and finally opened its mouth and lunged at Alex.
Alex first floated into the air, then turned his body aside, causing the Deviant to miss him.
Then his eyes lit up with pure golden light. Boom, blazing, bright beams immediately shot out from his eyes.
Seeing golden light shoot from Alex's eyes, Sersi was startled, "Isn't that Ikaris's ability?"
"And he can fly in midair just like Ikaris."
On the other side...
The Deviant was blasted away by Alex's beam, crashing directly into a shop.
After a while, it crawled out of the shop.
There was a charred hole in its body. At this moment, the flesh and tissue inside the hole rapidly regenerated, and in the blink of an eye, it had completely recovered.
The Deviant looked at Alex warily, then glanced at Sersi, before turning around and running.
It jumped into the river, disappearing into the water in an instant.
Of course, Alex did not chase it.
The Deviants were the Eternals' problem. It was better to leave this thing for these immortals to worry about.
"Thank you."
On the street, Sersi sincerely spoke to Alex in the sky.
Then she asked, "Mysterious man with great power, would you mind telling me your name?"
'Is she trying to get close to me and recruit me?'
The corners of Alex's mouth lifted, "I have long since forgotten my name. Throughout the endless passage of time, whether they were my enemies or my friends, most have called me the 'Conqueror.'"
"Conqueror," Sersi savored the title. From this title, she sensed war and slaughter.
Just as Alex had guessed, after seeing Alex's abilities of divine power, flight, and energy beams, she had indeed wanted to recruit Alex to join them in fighting monsters.
After all, the Deviants had not appeared for five thousand years, and that Deviant had demonstrated its rapid regeneration ability more than once just now.
This worried her greatly.
Not every member of the "Eternals" had combat abilities.
Like her and another companion, they only had abilities that could support the team and could not fight head-on.
Someone as powerful as Alex, even if there were only one more of them, would naturally be beneficial to the Eternals.
But now, as she savored the title "Conqueror," Sersi changed her mind.
"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. 'Conqueror.'"
"May the light illuminate your path ahead, so that you will never feel lost."
As expected of an old monster who had lived for thousands of years. She really knew how to talk.
Alex nodded, raised the "Infinity Gauntlet," and the Space Stone lit up. A portal opened, and black-and-blue flames engulfed Alex.
In an instant, Alex disappeared into thin air.
Sersi's eyes widened, "That gauntlet just now was..."
