Chapter 126: Dimension Lords Strikes! The Eternals Are Deflated!
🕑 Added 2025-03-16 19:45:40 +0000 UTCAaron's unceremonious words made the Eternals feel very uncomfortable.
What did it mean? A threat?
Why was he threatening them?
Just because he was a god?
Sorry, but you're a god, and so are we. Your threatening tactics against humans won’t work!
This wasn’t the opinion of all the Eternals, but at least Icarus thought this way.
As a powerful member of the Eternal Race, he had abilities similar to Superman and had always been the most arrogant one.
Ajak also valued him highly.
Although the others didn’t share this view, they still felt uneasy.
They had once laughed and talked with Odin.
At that time, Aaron, the God of Magic, didn’t even know where he was!
Thor, son of Odin, is awesome, right?
The majestic Thor of the Nine Realms—when I was young, I didn’t even follow in their footsteps!
Some of them had participated in the war when the Frost Titans invaded Earth.
Odin had exchanged a few words with them out of gratitude.
Strictly speaking, they had the same standing as Odin.
Now, hearing Aaron’s words, they were in no mood to smile.
"Aaron, don’t think that just because you're the God of Magic, you can do whatever you want! We're not afraid of you!"
Icarus stood up and stared at Aaron.
His eyes shone golden, a signal that he was ready to unleash cosmic energy and transform it into energy beams at any moment.
"Shut up! I’m not talking to you!"
Aaron didn’t even glance at him, his eyes focused entirely on Ajak.
He knew that Ajak, who appeared the most ordinary, was the current leader of the Eternal Race.
As for Icarus?
This so-called Marvel version of Superman?
Sorry, but Aaron really didn’t pay attention to him!
"You!!"
Icarus was so angry he wanted to act, but Ajak stopped him.
She bowed slightly to Aaron. "I’m sorry, God of Magic. Let me introduce myself."
"We are from the planet Olympus. Seven thousand years ago, we were sent by the gods to protect humanity. While ensuring humanity’s normal development, we are also responsible for eliminating mutant races that pose a threat to them."
"A thousand years ago, we cooperated with Odin, the King of Asgard."
"It was wrong of us to disturb your life without your permission."
Ajak’s words were very thoughtful.
While explaining their origins, she emphasized that there were higher powers behind them.
She also made it clear that they weren’t hostile, and their mission was to protect Earth.
Furthermore, she mentioned their connection to Odin to ease Aaron’s hostility.
In other words, we’re all part of the same family, so there’s no need for such tension.
She also apologized again to reduce the tension slightly.
It had to be said that Ajak deserved to be trusted by the Celestial Group.
Her rhetoric and approach were those of a leader.
After Ajak spoke, although Aaron was still angry, he wasn’t going to continue with the confrontation.
However, there was no way he would let it go entirely.
"Since you know you’re in the wrong, why are you still here? Don’t tell me you’re just standing at my door blowing air?"
Aaron’s expression remained unyielding.
Ajak wasn’t sure if she had eased his anger.
After hesitating for a moment, she continued, "Actually, our visit here is related to the magical rampage you caused recently."
With that, she raised her head to gauge Aaron’s reaction, ensuring he hadn’t forgotten the situation before continuing.
"The purpose of our visit is to protect humanity and the Earth."
"We will keep an eye on any crisis that threatens human safety."
"After the magic incident, we wanted to come and discuss how we could prevent another such event—perhaps by moving to another planet or setting up an energy detection device nearby."
"We thought of communicating with you, but you haven’t shown any signs of responding for some time, so…"
Before Ajak could continue, Aaron interrupted forcefully.
"So you’re going to keep watching me?"
"This... our original intention is not to spy on you..." Ajak stammered.
"But that’s exactly what you’re doing, isn’t it?" Aaron said firmly.
He didn’t possess Superman’s super hearing, but that didn’t mean he had poor hearing.
The mysteries of magic were beyond the imagination of most people.
In Asgard’s library, there was magic that could enhance hearing.
There was also magic for superior sight and smell.
Aaron even considered whether to upgrade his senses.
Maybe it could give him the ability of an all-seeing eye.
He was already capable of a magical Superman form, and it wouldn’t hurt to enhance other aspects of his abilities and become a true Superman.
Ajak was taken aback.
She was certain that the other party had overheard her exchange.
This left her at a loss for words.
At this moment, Sersei stood up and asked:
"God of Magic, why don’t you explain the recent magic rampage? Do you realize how much harm it could have caused to humanity?"
"Really? Did anyone die?" Aaron replied.
Although the last time he tested his strength in the mirror space and nearly caused a world-ending crisis, no one had been injured in the incident.
Sersei looked at Ajak, who shook her head.
There had been no fatalities.
So, they came here for nothing?
They exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
It seemed like… they didn’t really care about this!
Initially, they had hoped to hold Aaron accountable, but now it seemed it was their own fault.
"Let’s talk then. How do we solve this matter? Do we fight, or…?"
Aaron shifted into his magical Superman form.
Though his normal strength might be on par with Icarus’, he preferred to be on the safe side. Superman was the best form for intimidation.
Seeing Aaron’s appearance, the Eternals were terrified.
Though they had been quietly observing human society’s development, they had never stopped watching the Avengers, the Chitauri invasion, and Aaron’s magical feats on TV.
They knew that Aaron, in this form, could fly and release lasers like Icarus.
He had many other abilities.
If it was just this form, it might be manageable, with Icarus still standing in front. They could help from behind.
However—
"Don’t go too far!!"
Seeing Aaron’s transformation, Icarus, who had been upset with him for a while, couldn’t contain his anger.
His eyes flared with golden light.
He couldn’t take it anymore!
But the next moment, Aaron appeared before him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Icarus felt an irresistible force pressing down on him.
For a moment, he couldn’t even maintain his energy beam.
The sheer power was overwhelming!
Icarus barely managed to hold out for three seconds before his body began to tilt to one side.
The earth beneath them cracked and groaned as fissures appeared under his feet.
"You don’t really think you’re Superman, do you?" Aaron’s mocking voice rang out.
Icarus blushed with embarrassment.
He had been crushed with a single hand!
The disparity in strength was beyond comparison.
He had been utterly defeated!
Seeing this, the other Eternals gave up on the idea of confrontation.
Though Icarus was not the most powerful among them, he was second only to Gilgamesh.
Without Gilgamesh around, Icarus couldn’t stand against Aaron, and neither could the others.
Aaron was also a god of magic!
The five of them, outmatched in power, had no confidence in victory.
Though the Eternals possessed super abilities, not all of them were suited for combat.
Sersei could transform matter, but her control over this ability was too limited for combat.
Phastos, a scientist, could create advanced technology and weapons but wasn’t really a fighter.
Ajak, meanwhile, had no combat capabilities whatsoever.
Spike could use cosmic energy to create illusions, but as seen earlier, his powers were ineffective against Aaron.
The idea of fighting was out of the question.
It was clear: diplomacy was their only option.
"Please stop! I’m sorry, I didn’t think this through. We’ll leave now and never disturb your life again."
The enemy was too strong, and they were weak. Ajak could only bow her head in defeat.
"I’m not sure what we can do to calm your anger."
Aaron looked at her, withdrew his hand from Icarus' shoulder, and crossed his arms.
"Since you’re from Olympus, you must have mastered advanced technology. I think you can share some with me."
"Don’t tell me you don’t have technology like memory transmission."
The Eternals were creations of the Celestials.
Except for Ajak, none of them knew that they had originally been nothing more than robots, transformed by the gods to wield cosmic energy.
Though their abilities weren’t particularly remarkable, the technology they possessed was that of true gods.
The Celestials, apart from their strength, were also masters of advanced technology.
Now that Aaron had addressed the matter, he wouldn’t be polite.
"This…" Ajak hesitated as she glanced at Phastos.
She didn’t want to agree, but it was clear there was no other option.
If they didn’t provide some explanation, things would not resolve.
Despite Ajak mentioning their relationship with Odin, the God of Magic didn’t seem to care.
Perhaps the gods of magic weren’t aware of their ties with Odin.
After losing the confrontation, Icarus no longer made a fuss.
While nursing his sore shoulder, his eyes burned with humiliation.
As the most powerful of the Eternals, this was the first time he had been humiliated like this!
He had even considered using his energy beam!
But Ajak had given him a look, signaling him to stop.
Though he reluctantly obeyed, Icarus still believed that he could fight Aaron under different circumstances.
In battle, strength wasn’t everything.
Gilgamesh was incredibly strong, but Icarus believed himself to be the most powerful in a fight.
He was confident that even if he couldn’t defeat Aaron, he wouldn’t lose easily.
But Ajak was the appointed leader—the captain of the Celestial Group.
At this moment, Phastos, the center of attention, also hesitated.
But when he realized that refusing might provoke Aaron, his heart wavered.
"Agree, Phastos."
Ultimately, Ajak’s words convinced Phastos to provide some technologies, including memory transmission.
Aaron examined them, and the technology was far more advanced than anything Earth had. Some of it even surpassed Asgard’s.
It was clear that this was the technology of the Celestials!
From this alone, it was obvious that the gods were far beyond what he had imagined.
While Aaron was pleased, he remained cautious.
Deep within Earth’s core, a god was awakening.
Beyond the endless stars, an entire pantheon of gods existed—some of whom were supreme in power.
If conflict arose between these gods and Aaron, the outcome would be monumental.
Thus, strengthening himself remained his top priority.
Having acquired some of the Eternal Race's technology, along with Asgardian and Earth technology, he now had access to knowledge from all corners.
All that remained was to continue improving and elevate his abilities to unprecedented heights.
Eventually, armed with knowledge and power, Aaron would become unstoppable.
But for now, it was still just a vision.
The real task was to improve himself.
He had plans to create a device that could safely extract energy from the Infinite Gems.
Before that could happen, only Dimension Lords could use them.
On the Other Side
In the Limbo Dimension, the secret guest, who had nearly fully integrated her power, sat on her throne.
As the queen of the hellish border, she ruled the entire dimension.
Demons offered her noble red liquid, and several demon nobles knelt before her, begging for mercy.
"Please, let us go. We won’t rebel again. We’ll do whatever you ask—just don’t kill us."
"My lord queen, I was coerced into this. They forced me to comply or else they would kill me…"
"My Lady Queen, please forgive me…"
These demons had recently opposed the rule of the secret guest, secretly influenced by Mephisto. They had united to overthrow the half-demon, half-human rule.
They cried out for the liberation of Hell’s border, wanting the demons to decide their own fate.
Moto’s faith had promised them that if they persisted, the Dimensional Lord would intervene soon.
But what they hadn’t anticipated was that the secret guest defeated their coalition alone.
Her soul blade could permanently destroy a demon with a single strike.
Without even using her dimensional authority, she had wiped them out completely.
This was now the reality.
The secret guest was no saint. After Aaron’s training, she acted decisively.
Using her authority, she destroyed the rebel leaders permanently in front of the other demons.
Such ruthless action only solidified her rule.
But trouble loomed again.
The Lord of the Purple Dimension, Aggamon, and the Lord of the Sixth Dimension, Tiboro, were coming!
They intended to take Limbo and use it as a base for their plot against the real universe.
These two were well-known—king-level rulers of the underworld.
Though not overwhelmingly strong, they still ruled entire dimensions.
Could the secret guest, who had already expended considerable energy, withstand their invasion?
Some demons were even contemplating fleeing to the safety of other dimension lords.
Upon hearing the news, the secret guest frowned.
She wasn’t sure if she could hold on, but for Aaron...
Her resolve was stronger than ever.
No Dimensional Lord contamination allowed!
She would protect this place for Aaron and keep the dimensional lords away from the real universe!
On the other side, Gwen donned her new battle suit and set off to find the lizardmen.
A magical presence surrounded her.
She knew she was being watched by Amora and the others.
Gwen was quietly encouraging herself. Last time, she had suffered a defeat against the lizardmen. This time, she couldn’t afford to lose face again.
With her new battle suit, losing would be unthinkable.
At that moment, she felt a growing sense of urgency.
