Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of dull, heavy impacts rang out.
The Eternals who had launched attacks at Alex were all sent crashing to the ground, completely disoriented, stars spinning in their heads.
When they looked at Alex again, their eyes were filled with indescribable shock.
Inside their hearts, stormy waves surged.
So this is the Holander?
This is terrifying beyond belief!
All of the Eternals joining forces, yet in front of the Holander they were as weak as ants—utterly helpless!
They had always known the Holander was incredibly strong, even mythologized by Earth's humans.
But they had never imagined he could be strong to such an unfathomable degree!
Buzz—
After crushing the Eternals like thunder, Alex willed it with a thought, and his vast telekinetic power continued to pour out.
Like Mount Tai pressing down, it slamd onto every single Eternal.
In that instant—
All the Eternals' bodies shuddered violently, whether they were already lying on the ground or still standing.
No one was spared.
Even Ikaris, who had just flown up and was about to charge at Alex again, was swatted down like a fly midair and smashed brutally into the ground.
Looking around, every Eternal was pinned tightly to the earth, unable to move at all.
As if a real mountain were crushing them.
Forget attacking Alex—they couldn't even shift their bodies by a single inch.
"H–How is this possible?!"
"There's actually such a freak on this planet?!"
"Is this the Holander's true strength?!"
All of the Eternals were completely petrified, their minds outright crashing.
They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
In front of the Holander, they were so insignificant—
So insignificant it was laughable.
"The only reason you're still alive right now is because I have questions for you," Alex said coldly.
"I sll a conspiracy."
"I don't know whether soone is using your hands to kill , or using my hands to kill you. But no matter which it is, I won't let the one behind the scenes get what they want."
That was precisely why Alex had only suppressed the Eternals instead of killing any of them.
If soone wanted to use Alex to wipe out the Eternals, killing them recklessly would only let that hidden mastermind succeed.
If, on the other hand, the Eternals truly intended to kill Alex, then he naturally wouldn't let it slide.
He would simply wait until the truth was clear before making his move.
After all, in front of him, these Eternals were nothing more than ants.
Whether they died sooner or later made no real difference.
"Holander, stop talking nonsense! If you've got the guts, release and let's fight to the death!"
Ikaris refused to give Alex any chance and imdiately shouted to interrupt him.
"You think we Eternals are afraid of you?!"
Boom!
Before he could finish speaking, Alex threw a punch through the air.
A telekinetic fist slamd violently into Ikaris.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking rang out.
"Pfft!"
Ikaris couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Shh. Be quiet."
Alex released another surge of telekinesis, sealing Ikaris's mouth shut.
He was rendered completely unable to speak.
"Alright," Alex said calmly, sweeping his gaze across the Eternals.
"Now, who wants to tell why you're trying to kill ?"
At this mont, the Eternals also began to sense that sothing was… off.
Simply put, the Holander's behavior didn't add up.
If things were really as Ikaris claid—if the Holander had killed Ajak in order to find Arishem and oppose him—then why would he be wasting ti on these irrelevant questions?
Shouldn't he be pressing them for information on how to find Arishem instead?
Unless the Holander had so bizarre hobby of playing dumb?
"Holander… you really don't know why?"
Sersi, pinned to the ground, asked with great difficulty.
"What do you think?" Alex shot back.
"If I already knew, would I still be wasting words on you?"
"Do I look that bored?"
Sersi was left speechless.
But she had to admit—what Alex said made perfect sense.
"You killed Ajak! We're avenging Ajak!"
Sprite, lying on the ground, shouted out.
???
What?
That answer genuinely caught Alex off guard.
If that was the case, then soone really was trying to use the Eternals' hands to kill him.
So who exactly was behind this?
Alex already had a vague suspicion, but he still needed confirmation.
"Ajak is already dead?"
"So soone made you believe that I killed Ajak."
"If that's why you attacked , then I can tell you clearly—you're mistaken."
"Ajak did not die by my hand."
Alex explained calmly.
"Holander, you think we'll believe you just because you say so?"
Gilgash roared at Alex.
To be honest, this guy really wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
So things were already obvious to the other Eternals, yet he still hadn't figured them out.
"Gilgash, I think the Holander is telling the truth," Phastos spoke up.
"With his level of strength, if he really killed Ajak, how could Ikaris still be alive?"
That was the biggest inconsistency.
The Holander was simply too strong—so strong that he could crush and sweep through all the Eternals alone without the slightest effort.
In that case, killing both Ajak and Ikaris would be nothing more than a flick of his hand.
How could Ajak be dead while Ikaris escaped?
According to Ikaris, he had personally witnessed the Holander kill Ajak!
Did that an Ikaris had hidden in the shadows the entire ti, watching the Holander act without ever revealing himself?
That was obviously impossible.
Sothing was clearly wrong.
"I don't know what that person told you," Alex continued,
"But today, I arranged to et Ajak here because she helped arrange a eting with Arishem."
"And that eting was sothing Ajak strongly pushed for."
Alex then explained in detail how Ajak had sought him out, recounting everything clearly to the Eternals.
What he described was completely different from Ikaris's version of events.
And when Alex had soone bring over the footage of his discussion with Ajak in the royal hall and played it for them—
All the Eternals fell silent.
At this point, the truth was basically beyond doubt.
If the Holander were really as Ikaris claid, why would he go through the trouble of preparing such footage?
No one with a functioning brain would do sothing like that.
