Chapter 481 - 481
And now, here they were—six of them, no, including their leader, the Celestial Host Judicator Arishem, that made seven!
Seven multicolored Celestial Hosts appearing together—who could possibly stand against that?!
As for why they had come here, whether it was the various nations of Earth, the Demon Gods of different dimensions, or the powerful deities from various pantheons, they all had their guesses.
"It must be to deal with Messiah!"
"With so many Celestials, can Messiah really win?"
Mephisto and the others were utterly shocked.
Although Messiah had recently forced Judicator Arishem to retreat, they did not believe that Messiah could stand against seven Celestial Hosts fighting together.
One opponent of equal strength was one thing, but facing seven at once was an entirely different matter!
As they pitied or even gloated over the situation, the seven Celestial Hosts flew near Earth, scanning the planet as if searching for someone.
"As expected, they're looking for Messiah?"
Around the world, in every nation, ordinary people showed expressions of realization.
However, after some time, the seven Celestial Hosts did not find Messiah as they had expected.
After discussing among themselves, the tallest of them, Judicator Arishem, stepped forward. His deep voice echoed across the entire planet, reaching everyone's ears.
"Messiah, come out!"
"We know you are on Earth!"
"I told you—I would return for you!"
Judicator Arishem's gaze was ice-cold, his voice filled with killing intent.
Messiah, as an unstable factor, had to be eliminated!
And this time, Arishem was confident.
Messiah may have stopped him before, but could he stop him along with his six companions?
Together, the seven Celestial Hosts were unstoppable—anyone standing in their way would be utterly annihilated!
As he waited for Messiah's appearance, the six other Celestial Hosts conversed among themselves with curiosity.
"So, this is Earth? I remember coming here before. The humans on it seem decent."
"There's also a companion of ours about to be born in the planet's core..."
After some discussion, the yellow Celestial Host suddenly locked eyes on a distant figure—Syd.
"Who is that?"
"He seems to be... a human? A mutant?"
With those words, the vast heads of the Celestial Hosts turned in unison, their gazes now focused on Syd.
Judicator Arishem, growing impatient as Messiah remained absent, also shifted his gaze toward the distant figure clad in white.
"He is the White Knight, another Omega-level mutant of Earth," Arishem stated indifferently. "He was once ranked alongside Messiah as an Omega-level mutant..."
The Celestial Hosts nodded in understanding.
So this was the so-called White Knight?
Before coming to deal with Messiah, Arishem had naturally briefed them about Earth's situation, including the presence of White Knight.
Not as strong as Messiah, but still an incredible force.
As time passed and Messiah still did not appear, Arishem's gaze grew colder. He then fixated on Syd.
"If Messiah won't show himself," Arishem declared, "then we shall deal with White Knight first."
"This Omega-level mutant is also an unstable factor—he must be eliminated!"
The six multicolored Celestial Hosts reacted with mild acknowledgment, nodding slightly but displaying little emotion.
Eliminating another Omega-level mutant was hardly any different to them.
And this one was even weaker.
Even with all of them looking at him, Syd remained calm and met their gazes.
At that moment, every satellite on Earth captured the scene, broadcasting it worldwide.
Discussions erupted everywhere.
"White Knight is in trouble. He came looking for Messiah, but now he's being dragged into this mess!"
"Can he even stand a chance?"
"How could he? Messiah is stronger than White Knight—a Super Omega mutant—but even he might not survive against these seven beings. What chance does White Knight have?"
"As an Omega mutant, White Knight's biggest problem isn't fighting them—it's whether he can even escape!"
Meanwhile, in the United States, the remaining high-ranking officials secretly felt a sense of schadenfreude.
Even though Messiah was still alive, the death of White Knight would be a good thing—at least one major threat would be eliminated.
Across dimensions...
Dormammu, Lucifer, and others felt a pang of regret.
They had been eyeing the Infinity Stones in White Knight's possession, but now it seemed impossible to claim them.
Or perhaps... could they seize the opportunity to steal the stones when White Knight perished?
The idea that White Knight might escape didn't even cross their minds.
The Nightmare Dimension's ruler, Nightmare, who had recently tested White Knight's strength, was particularly displeased.
"These damn Celestial Hosts always meddle in everything! White Knight was supposed to be my target!"
"I was planning to lure him into the Nightmare Dimension to show him my true power!"
"And now, these bastards are getting in my way..."
Dormammu and the others silently nodded at Nightmare's complaints.
They, too, had their own plans regarding White Knight.
...
Meanwhile, in Asgard...
Noticing what was happening on Earth, Heimdall immediately alerted King Odin and the others.
Upon seeing the situation, Frigga, Odin, and Thor all showed worried expressions.
"Seven Celestial Hosts... What do we do now?" Thor's face was grim, his tone filled with despair.
"Damn it! Why are these seven Celestial Hosts attacking my brother?!"
"If they want to fight Messiah, then go fight Messiah!"
His face was filled with frustration, anxiety, and even regret.
If he had stopped his brother from going to Earth, could he have prevented this crisis?
With that thought, guilt consumed Thor.
With no other choice, he turned to Odin, his eyes filled with hope. "Father, what should we do?"
Odin sighed deeply and remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"Even at my peak, I was not a match for these seven Celestial Hosts."
Hearing this, Frigga and Thor felt their hearts sink into despair.
Even Odin, the King of the Gods, had no solution.
After a long pause, Odin finally spoke.
"I will do my best to intervene... Let us hope Balder can escape."
