In the wake of a cataclysmic arrival, the Deviants flee as a colossal Celestial ship descends upon ancient Earth. Among the surviving Eternals, Ikaris activates a resurrection chamber, bringing Ajak back to life—only to face a far greater reckoning. As towering pylons rise and the massive form of the Celestial Arishem settles into place, Ajak, gifted with divine communion, declares the Eternals ready to hear the gods’ purpose. The fate of the planet hangs in the balance, and for fifty years, Earth will wait to learn if it is to live or die.
