Chapter 99 "Trapping the Eternals"

After Rorschach finished his final line to the camera, his eyes became red, and he fired two rays to aid the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in releasing the metal ring.

He then took hold of Phastos, who had stepped into the ground, and kept up a kind smile for the onlookers. He then raised his fist above his head and flew directly into the sky, quickly vanishing from view.

Everyone was cheering and taking photos as the throng below erupted in applause. Sitwell and the others watched Rorschach leave before they vanished from view.

The news reporters, who had heard the news, arrived shortly after the Chicago police, who were reasonably near the scene.

Alien spies have been hiding out for a while, plotting a deadly conspiracy, Superman Rorschach's brave entry, shattering alien conspiracy, and other news that immediately grabbed the attention of big media.

Particularly, the news media purchased those videos and photos taken by the people at great prices and widely spread them on major media websites.

Up in the air.

Phastos did not brought to the Osborn Group by Rorschach. He choked Phastos by the neck while keeping him away from any surveillance, satellites, etc.

When Phastos finally managed to speak, he said, "How do you know us? What do you want? We are not your enemy."

"The dead don't need to know that much."

Suddenly, his eyes went crimson. Two scalding rays of light began to emerge from Rorschach's eyes directed to Phastos feet and knees, steadily decimating him to ashes.

Rorschach didn't murder him in front of the crowd mostly because he wanted to preserve his reputation and, more crucially, because he wanted to utilize it to draw in other Eternals.

Everyone was dispersed and led separate lives in isolation after conflicts among the Eternals, according to the original plot.

Those who were near cities and neighborhoods were fairly simple to locate. But, it will take some time for those who are hidden in isolated mountainous regions with poor traffic information.

Although it is said that as long as Rorschach is willing, he can scan the entire planet inch by inch, even if the Eternals hide deep in the center of the earth, he will find them.

But Rorschach is unwilling to waste too much time on the Eternals. Instead of spending time finding out the whereabouts of the Eternals one by one, it is better to design a trap and let them come to the door by themselves and the trap is that Rorschach took Phastos away in public.

Let the other Eternals think that Phastos is still alive and was captured by Rorschach. When the time comes to release a piece of information about Phastos being taken away, the Eternals will definitely come to rescue him.

Although there are problems within the Eternals on Earth, even if he cannot attract all of them, most of them will do. As for the rest, they may not be able to hide for long.

Sersi invited her boyfriend, Dane Whitman, to a restaurant for dinner after she finished her duties for the day. However, the restaurant TV news interrupted as she was dining with breaking news.

"Superman Rorschach caught an extraterrestrial spy who had been hiding on earth for years this afternoon. The most recent intelligence indicates that the extraterrestrial spy has been hiding on earth for many years while plotting a massive conspiracy to destroy the planet with his allies. However, righteous Superman Rorschach was alert and quickly apprehended him."

Videos and pictures captured at the scene were released during the news program.

Sersi, who was dining with her partner, unintentionally caught a glimpse of the television and saw the moment Rorschach punched Phastos in the air.

She stopped abruptly and fixed her eyes on the TV. After some time, she became certain. Her friend Phastos is the alien spy that the journalists are referring to.

The person sitting across from Sersi, Dane Whitman, sensed something odd about his girlfriend. He smiled as he turned back to the TV and asked, "Sersi, aren't you interested in superheroes?"

"Yes, Dane. I'm sorry I can't go with you. I just remembered I had something to take care of."

Sersi stood up right after, gave Dane Whitman a quick kiss, and quickly left the restaurant. Among the Eternals, Sersi is a wizard with the power to transform matter into another form, such as converting water into oil.

Even though Sersi didn't know what had transpired, high-level individuals in the world must have become aware of them after hearing the news that Phastos had been taken prisoner by Rorschach.

Phastos's arrest sends a clear message. Sersi will therefore seek Sprite, an illusion-making Eternals who resides in London. At the same time, other Eternals who were dispersed over the globe also somewhat learned about this issue.

Ten individuals make up the Eternals on Earth. There are now nine survivors after Phastos, who was slain by Rorschach. When the earth was barely born with civilization, the Eternals sowed the seeds of a God on the earth, and this God was Tiamut.

The expansion of Tiamut needs to absorb the energy of a huge number of intelligent creatures in the world, and prehistoric humans were hunted and murdered by massive predators. The Celestials released a batch of deviants on the world and let the deviants hunt and kill the predatory species on the planet to ensure that intelligent humans can procreate naturally in order to allow the earth to support more intelligent life as soon as possible.

The Deviants grew out of control and began to hunt primitive humans. In order to safeguard the long-term advancement of human civilization, the Celestials established a different group known as the Eternals to hunt and murder The Deviants.

Ten members of the Eternals were dispersed around the globe and forced to live in seclusion for thousands of years after certain conflicts and disagreements between the Eternals emerged when the Mutants on Earth were almost hunted down.

Phastos's imprisonment by Rorschach marked the beginning of the Eternal Race's reconciliation. Ajak, the leader of the Eternals, started to assemble a group to talk about rescuing the "caught" Eternals member Phastos.

Osborne Group.

In his lab, Rorschach is putting Space Stone and Mind Stone implants in the Destroyer Armor.

Other Eternals are interested in him because he managed to capture Phastos. All Eternals will be destroyed by Rorschach. Arishem will probably show up as a result of this conduct. Rorschach used two infinity stones in advance to face the Arishem's potential arrival.

S.H.I.E.L.D quietly circulated a rumor that "alien spies" would soon be transferred to the Raft Prison on Lake Island in New York in an effort to attract the Eternals. The Eternals possess technology that is vastly superior to that of Earth, despite the fact that this knowledge has not yet been made public. Investigating this information was simple.

Ajak, the Eternas' leader, made an effort to get in touch with S.H.I.E.L.D. officials by claiming that the Eternas were not "alien spies."

Because Rorschach only has one directive for the Eternal Race, the S.H.I.E.L.D. officials led by Sitwell are unwilling to interact at all.

There they are, time to murder one.

Soon after Ajak tried to call S.H.I.E.L.D., local authorities surrounded and intercepted him. Ajak made the decision to travel directly to New York to stop the car that was carrying Phastos after unsuccessfully contacting high-ranking officials.

He took the bait that Rorschach had prepared.

The eight Eternals members' have now been found using the tracking of other nations' surveillance data networks.

Ajak, Ikaris, Sersi, Sprite, Makkari, Thena, Kingo, and Gilgamesh are the eight individuals mentioned.

The last Eternal turned down Ajak's invitation.

Due to different views, Druig from the Eternals, who is skilled at mind control, used psychic energy to control all the village names in a particular distant mountain village, where he lived a blissful life as a land emperor.

He doesn't like Ajak's leadership, and he doesn't want to get involved in the Eternals' business either.

As a result, this time, there are just eight Eternals present.

After meddling with the Destroyer Armor with two Infinity Stones, Rorschach put on the miniature nuclear fusion reactor again and unfolded the armor of destruction in black.

In an instant, the energy of the Space Stone and the Mind Stone rushed towards Rorschach.

With the help of the energy of the Space Stone and the Mind Stone, Rorschach's strength instantly leaped to another level.

In this way, even if Arishem descends, Rorschach will still have the power to fight.
