"Who are you? Why are you disguised as Knull to attack us?"
"Go to Hell and ask the Goddess of Death! No, with me, death is death. You probably won't be seeing the Goddess of Death."
Lucas, his disguise discovered, was enraged and immediately stopped suppressing his power, letting it loose slightly.
His figure flickered on the spot for a moment, and a thin line appeared on the necks of the many Celestials present.
Until this moment, the many Celestials had not yet heard what Lucas had just said, nor had they realized what had happened.
Death is death? Where did he put the Goddess of Death?
The next moment, pure white light flickered, and the bodies, souls, and minds of the many Celestials were completely devoured in an instant, going to a space completely different from the Marvel world
"Where is this?"
Exitar turned to Ziran and asked, but as soon as he spoke, he noticed something was wrong.
The armor connecting his head and body seemed to be loose, and even the energy supply lines were problematic.
"I don't know either. Let's look around first." Ziran also turned to Exitar.
They both noticed the other's abnormality.
"Your head..."
The next moment, two heads rolled off, swallowed by the countless liquid substances in the pure white space.
Exitar and Ziran's minds instantly became chaotic.
In a daze, they understood one thing.
They were about to face death, absolute death.
'These Celestials are much easier to kill than Knull.' Lucas thought to himself, looking at the Sword of Dawn, which had transformed into All-Black the Necrosword, in his hand.
'Indeed, the Celestials consider themselves the rulers of Marvel, but in reality, they are just a group of outsiders who have usurped the nest. If they were truly incarnations of the Marvel world's rules and concepts, they wouldn't be so easy to kill.'
Putting away the Sword of Dawn, Lucas's dark energy surged, crushing and disturbing the surrounding Superflow, ensuring that no one could reconstruct the battle process from it.
Afterward, he continued to maintain Knull's appearance, circled around the area, and then quietly returned to see the Creator.
If his actions against the Celestials were still discovered, then Lucas would accept it.
Not that he accepted his cleanup work wasn't good enough, but that he accepted that the Creator/Chthon/Set had betrayed him.
The scene shifted to a certain starry sky in the 616 Universe—the coordinates given by Galactus.
However, this starry sky was barren. Let alone star systems, there weren't even many meteorites.
Golden sparks flickered, and Lucas, the Creator, Chthon, and Set emerged from the portal.
"Ah, the aura of reality!" Chthon raised his hands, greedily sniffing the thin matter in the cosmic void.
Set, seeing the scene before him, frowned. "What's going on? Is Galactus deceiving us?"
"No."
Lucas looked at a certain space and stepped forward. "Let's go, Galactus is waiting for us."
The Creator said nothing, only stepping forward to follow.
A ripple suddenly appeared in the space ahead, and Lucas and the Creator stepped into it one after another.
Set frowned even deeper.
There was an extradimensional space here? Why hadn't he noticed it? This wasn't normal!
Subsequently, Set and the reluctant Chthon also stepped forward, following Lucas and the Creator.
Lucas looked at the tall man in golden armor, emanating a sacred life aura, and remained silent.
This was Galactus?
Lucas looked at the Creator, his face showing inquiry.
The Creator ignored Lucas, he looked at the tall man and sighed, "I heard you ask me to call you Galan instead of Galactus before. I guessed that you had already completed your transformation. And so you have."
"What's going on? Galactus became Lifebringer?"
Lucas knew something about the golden Galactus's Lifebringer form, but not much.
"That's right, I am now Lifebringer, the Lifebringer who 'lives and brings life,' not Galactus who merely 'lives.'"
The limited-edition golden Galactus—Lifebringer Galan—said so.
But Lucas still didn't understand.
Seeing this, Lifebringer added, "I am Galan, the last surviving scientist of the Sixth Cosmos, who survived to the last moment of that period by virtue of my wisdom."
"And carrying a small part of the Sixth Cosmos' will, 'to live and bring life,' I passed through the edge of the apocalypse and arrived in the nascent Universe."
"However, at that time, I needed to recuperate to fully merge with this Universe's will, but was accidentally interrupted, eventually becoming Galactus, who only remembered 'to live.'"
"So that's how it is." Lucas suddenly understood.
"And you? Who are you?" Lifebringer asked.
"Lucas, Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-404." Lucas replied.
Lifebringer waited for a while, and seeing that Lucas had nothing further to say, he couldn't help but say, "That's it?"
Clearly, he didn't believe that such a powerful unknown being was merely the Guardian of a slightly special Planet in some unremarkable Universe.
Even for Earth-616, this was very unreasonable.
"That's it." Lucas nodded.
"Such powerful strength must have a source, right?" Lifebringer asked.
"Oh, I absorbed a tiny bit of energy from Hell and the Abyss." Lucas replied calmly.
All of his energy had a traceable origin. Lucas had, through effort and sweat, step by step, approached the pinnacle of the Marvel world in just a few short years.
As long as others' energy utilization efficiency could reach or surpass his level, they could replicate his path to rise.
Lifebringer still didn't believe him, but Lucas was unwilling to elaborate.
After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Sorcerer Lucas, were you looking for me? What is it?"
"Galactic Glaze, I need some Galactic Glaze."
Knowing that Lucas's purpose for this trip was the Galactic Glaze, Lifebringer agreed without hesitation, which was somewhat different from Lucas's initial plan.
In Lucas's original expectation, he would descend like a God when Galactus was about to devour a life Planet, defeat Galactus on behalf of justice and peace, and seize some insignificant spoils of war.
He never expected that he would eventually encounter not Galactus, who spread destruction and death, but the Lifebringer, who spread life energy. In this way, it was not suitable to take by trickery or force.
Lucas asked, "Lifebringer, what do you need me to pay for this?"
The Lifebringer waved his hand and said indifferently, "Just some trinkets, not worth mentioning."
Seeing this, Lucas frowned slightly.
He repeatedly asked if the Lifebringer needed anything, but the Lifebringer shook his head, indicating he did not.
In the end, Lucas brought back the Galactic Glaze from the Lifebringer without paying anything. However, he did not feel the joy of getting something for free this time.
Sometimes, what is free is the most expensive.
After obtaining the Galactic Glaze, Lucas bid farewell to the Creator and the others and left the Lifebringer's location, returning to Earth-404 to hand over the collected materials to Tony.
Ten-plus days of travel meant missing ten-plus days.
Next, Lucas needed a good rest.
Tower Three.
The Creator did not leave when Lucas did, he was secretly summoned to stay by the Lifebringer.
After Lucas left, the Creator slowly spoke, "Galan, what do you need me for, specifically asking me to stay?"
The Lifebringer's expression turned serious, and he gestured with his eyes towards Chthon and Set. Apparently, he did not trust these two notorious arch-demons of the Multiverse.
"Hehe."
"Hehe."
Chthon and Set let out two strange laughs one after another. They stared at the Lifebringer with cold eyes for a moment, divine power subtly flowing around them. Scarlet light and green light intertwined, making the scene even more eerie and sinister.
The Lifebringer did not shy away from Chthon and Set's gazes. He calmly looked back, energy also flowing around him, emitting strands of golden light full of life energy.
Three terrifying energies clashed in the air, revealing endless danger beneath the calm.
Chthon and Set's expressions gradually became solemn. They hadn't expected that the former Galactus, now Lifebringer, could hold his own against two opponents without falling behind.
Seeing this, the two laughed strangely a few more times, then withdrew their energy and turned to leave.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is the nature of demons. If the Lifebringer had shown weakness, Chthon and Set would have taught him what respect meant.
But since the Lifebringer withstood their pressure, Chthon and Set could only magnanimously forgive him.
After all, who doesn't have a little secret?
The Creator did not stop this farce, as if it had nothing to do with him.
He only asked calmly again after Chthon and Set left, "Galan, what do you need me for, specifically asking me to stay?"
Facing the Creator's question, Lifebringer hesitated. He opened his mouth several times, but no words came out.
Seeing this, the Creator did not urge him, but simply waited quietly.
On the other side, a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of Chthon's eyes as he left Tower Three.
Besides bullying the weak and fearing the strong, demons have many other natures, one of which is treachery and cunning.
