Confusion gripped Peter as the world trembled around him, but that didn't last for long. Determined to uncover the cause, he delved his cosmic senses deep into the earth's core, where he swiftly discovered a massive golden seed pulsating with energy. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Attached to this seed was a colossal skeletal body made of metal, which was rapidly growing and morphing with each passing moment.
"What the" Peter's eyes widened in shock as he witnessed the skeletal form sprout tendons, muscles, and flesh made of molten lava, its movements sending shockwaves through the earth. He realized this creature was the source of the seismic disturbances shaking the planet.
'Is that a celestial?' Peter wondered as he felt the energy rolling off of the colossal being, his mind recalling the Eternals movie, which truthfully, he's forgotten about until now. 'Huh, this reminds me, I should check for any celestial seeds back home as well Maybe I can use an unhatched seed to make something cool?'
No longer confused, as he knows what's happening now, Peter turned to his allies, their expressions filled with concern and fear. "Alright, listen up," he exclaimed, his voice urgent, drawing their attention.
"What do we do?" Mateo asked, his voice tinged with apprehension.
Peter's mind raced as he contemplated their next move. "You guys are going to stay here and look for Centurion, or at least anything that he's left behind," he declared, his tone resolute.
"What about you?" Miles asks worriedly.
Peter smirked confidently at Miles' question as he waved his hand, opening a golden portal leading to the center of the earth, where all of this shaking was originating from.
Mateo, Miles, and Aaron peered through the portal, squinting against the intense light to glimpse the colossal figure of the Celestial taking shape. The sheer powerlessness they felt as they gazed at the god before them nearly sent them to their knees.
"I'll be dealing with that before it destroys the planet," Peter declared, gesturing into the portal. "Anyway, good luck and try not to die if you run into Centurion"
With a sense of dread, the group watched as Peter stepped through the portal, but before it closed behind him, he turned around, addressing his allies one last time, "Oh, I almost forgot"
Gesturing towards the wall behind them, Peter shot a beam of purple light from his fingertip, which wizzed between Miles and Mateo, nearly missing them as it impacted the wall, exploding on contact.
*Boom!*
Miles, Mateo, and Aaron's eyes widened in fear as the explosion went off behind them, smoke and debris filling the room.
"What the hell was that?!" Miles was about to complain, but the ferocity in his voice quickly disappeared as the smoke cleared, revealing a secret passage behind the wall, which was heavily fortified before Peter blew it wide open.
"That should be a good place to start." Peter commented as the portal began to close. "Remember, don't die!" He reminded them as the portal vanished, leaving them alone in the Oval Office.
Mateo nodded in agreement, his expression turning nervous. "Yeah, but do you think he can beat that thing?" he asked, a sense if fear welling up as he recalled what he saw through that portal.
Miles smile vanished, replaced by a contemplative look. "I think so"
As they continued exploring, they came upon Centurion's lair, which was filled with all sorts of sleek technology. But most notably, as they appeared, another hologram of Centurion materialized before them.
The hologram of Centurion regarded his surroundings with a cold, calculating gaze, his voice dripping with a sense of disappointment. "Ah, it seems like he was able to save the planet" he sneered, his image flickering slightly as he spoke. "No matter He'll still have to face a Celestial of my own making"
Miles clenched his fists, his jaw set in determination. "Is that what that thing is? A celestial?" he asked, his voice firm despite the tension in the air. Mateo and Aaron stood beside him, curious to hear the answer.
Centurion's hologram chuckled, noticing the presence of others in the room. "Oh, you're still here?" he commented, his voice echoing through the chamber. "I forgot you existed for a moment, my apologies."
Miles, Mateo, and Aaron clenched their fists, their jaws tightening as they resisted the urge to be provoked by Centurion's taunts. Nonetheless, Centurion relished their reactions, a wicked gleam in his eyes as he observed their responses.
Seeing that his biggest threat was preoccupied, and the world wasn't about to end, Centurion turned his attention to the three intruders in his lair. "You know what?" he remarked casually, his voice dripping with malice. "I have some free time..."
As he spoke, the hologram disappeared, leaving Miles, Mateo, and Aaron momentarily confused. But their confusion quickly turned to alarm as the real Centurion materialized before them in a flash of light, his smirk sending a shiver down their spines.
"Why don't I kill you with my own hands?"
"Yo!" Peter called out to the celestial before him, who began to stand as its molten body solidified into what appeared to be a suit of golden armor, towering hundreds of feet tall. Its form is both alien and divine, pulsating with raw energy. Its four eyes, glowing with cosmic power, pierce through the darkness, while tendrils of energy emanate from its body, crackling with otherworldly force.
[Insert picture of Tiamut the Communicator here]
Feeling the immense power radiating from the celestial before him, Peter couldn't help but marvel at its sheer magnitude. 'He's definitely stronger than Knull' The thought of what Centurion had done to create such a formidable entity gnawed at his mind, stirring a mix of curiosity and concern.
Putting his concerns aside for the moment, Peter stepped forward, hands raised in a gesture of peace. "Hey, big guy," he began, his voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through his veins. "I know things seem intense right now, but let's talk this out. Maybe we can find a way to work together?"
The celestial's response was not what Peter had hoped for. Instead of words, a deafening scream erupted from its gaping metallic maw, accompanied by a blinding burst of light, which shot up from its throat, aimed directly at him. "AAAAARRRGGGGHH!"
Reacting on instinct, Peter leaped aside, narrowly avoiding the searing blast as it scorched the ground where he stood, creating a smoldering hole which tore through the entire planet before shooting back out the other side.
Regaining his footing, Peter glanced back at the smoking hole that was created, "Not much of a Communicator, are you?"
