He allies with Eric Brooks/Blade to find her.Īs the Prime Celestial, Arishem acts as the judge, carrying out his tasks on maintaining balance in the universe. Dane swore to save Sersi from Arishem’s wrath and is forced to use the Ebony Blade. If not, he would return to judge the world. Displeased that they sacrificed the life of a Celestial for Earth's survival, he decides to spare the Earth stating that their memories would serve as proof of whether or not mankind is worthy. Just when Dane was about to reveal a family secret to Sersi, she, Phastos and Kingo are whisked into space by Arishem. After defeating Kro and Ikaris choosing to fly into the sun out of remorse, the Emergence is thwarted. Ikaris and Sprite team up together to prevent the defected Eternals from stopping the Emergence located in an active volcano in the Indian Ocean. He also created Ajak and Ikaris to act as the leaders of the Eternals, with both being fully aware of their true purpose. Its emergence would culminate in the destruction of the Earth. Now that the Earth had accumulated an approximate population of people, the stage was set for a Celestial named Tiamut to form. However, when they were proving to be too problematic for the cultivation of life, the Eternals were created to cull them. To ensure the success of this development, Arishem and the other Celestials would go on to create the Deviants, who were tasked to wipe out the apex predators on the planets Celestials seeded life on.
By absorbing energy from the planet's population, the seeded Celestials would one day grow and be fully emerged, wiping out all life and the planets in the process. In order to ensure the rise of new Celestials that would help maintain the balance of the universe, Arishem seeded Celestials on various planets. Arishem is the leader of the Celestials, who used a special energy source to create the building blocks of all life in the universe in the form of planets, stars, and galaxies.
