After a long while, the Fantastic Four, Lifebringer, and Doctor Doom arrived together, followed by some people who looked like Agents and government officials.
Looking up, Lucas glanced at the Agents and government officials behind the Fantastic Four, and said indifferently, "Go back."
"Yes."
The Agents and government officials naturally agreed, turned around, chatted, and left.
Seeing this, Reed couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
Doctor Doom glanced at Reed and coldly reprimanded, "Just a simple mind magic, you idiot."
Then, Doctor Doom's gaze returned to Lucas. "Sorcerer Lucas, Galactus said that our Universe's Earth is about to collide with another Universe's Earth. Is this true?"
"It was, but Galan has already solved this problem." Lucas nodded.
This was why he had made a special trip after resolving the Earth-404 and Earth-65 collision event.
If Earth-404 and Earth-65 would collide due to Gwen's influence, then this retro-futuristic Earth might also collide with their origin Earth due to the Fantastic Four.
Hearing this, Johnny's trembling finger pointed at Lifebringer, disbelieving. "So, Galactus really came to help us? Why? How could someone like him..."
"Galactus wouldn't do that, but Lifebringer would."
Pointing at Lifebringer, Lucas said, "If the color on Galan is purple, that is the Galactus form that devours all things. If the color on Galan is golden, that is the Lifebringer form that protects life."
Reed asked, "Like a split personality?"
Lifebringer shook his head. "No. Whether it's Galactus or Lifebringer, both forms of me are me."
"If I had to make an analogy, it would be like humans who accidentally take drugs. When the addiction flares up, it's Galactus. In a rational state, it's Lifebringer."
"When does your 'addiction' flare up? Is there a pattern?" Reed asked cautiously.
"Usually not, unless I devour a Planet again." Lifebringer turned and looked at the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom, signaling them to leave.
"Out of guilt, I will try my best to answer your questions, but not now. I have more urgent matters to attend to, which concern the survival of the entire Universe, and the safety of you and your Earth."
"This..."
The Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom looked at each other, and finally Reed gritted his teeth and said, "Let us stay and listen, maybe we can help."
"No." Lifebringer refused. "Your involvement will only cause trouble, not help."
The Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom were a bit restless, but didn't dare to say much, only turning their gaze to Lucas.
Chug...
"Why are you looking at me?" Lucas shook his head and chuckled.
"You are too far from the level of this event. Knowing too much will not do you any good."
Susan's gaze lingered on Lucas and Lifebringer. "But if we know a disaster is coming but know nothing about it, we will live in constant fear. If the ultimate outcome is death, I hope to die clearly."
Lucas shrugged and spread his hands in one smooth motion, "I don't care, it depends on your opinion, Galan."
Lifebringer pondered for a moment, then changed his mind. "I allow you to observe, but do not disturb me. You can ask any questions later."
"Thank you."
Soon, everyone was seated, and Lifebringer began, "Sorcerer Lucas, the current situation of the Universe is very bad. 1610 Richards ignored warnings and forcibly transformed Eternity into a single Universe, causing Eternity to be devoured by the First Firmament. Now it is in critical condition, and we must find a way to rescue Eternity."
It seems Lifebringer doesn't know Eternity's plan.
Lucas pretended to be solemn. "Galan, what do you think we should do?"
"Two methods simultaneously. First, restore Eternity from a single Universe to a Multiverse. Second, strengthen Eternity so that he can last longer."
Lifebringer added, "The first method requires finding Reed and reshaping the super-fluid domain through his instruments."
"The second method is to resolve the Earth collision problem during the Universe unification as much as possible, preserving more Earths."
Lucas frowned. "Given the number of Universes, this project is too massive, and probably cannot be completed by just a few people."
Lifebringer looked at Lucas expectantly. "So, the best way is to restore the Living Tribunal to his position and use the laws to solve this problem."
"Hmm?"
Lucas narrowed his eyes, and coldly glanced at Lifebringer. "Indeed, laws need to be established as soon as possible. But not the Living Tribunal, but Balance."
Chug...
After chugging down the Coca-Cola in his hand and casually tossing the can into the trash, Lucas stood up.
Golden sparks flickered behind him, and a portal opened. He stepped into it, leaving only one sentence.
"I will facilitate the birth of new laws as soon as possible."
The sparks vanished, and Lucas disappeared.
"Bastard!"
Lifebringer slammed the table, furious. "At such a critical moment, he's still clinging to laws and ignoring the safety of the Multiverse. What right does such a person have to be Sorcerer Supreme?"
"Lifebringer, if you have the guts, say that to Sorcerer Lucas's face." Johnny was indignant, he scoffed.
"If someone like you can become a Cosmic Being, why can't Sorcerer Lucas become Sorcerer Supreme?"
Golden sparks reappeared, and Lucas's voice drifted back. "I forgot to mention, the Earth that was originally going to collide with this Earth is very likely the origin Earth of you four."
"Thank you, Sorcerer Lucas, for the reminder. We understand."
The sparks vanished, and did not reappear for a long time.
Johnny once again mocked Lifebringer, "Sorcerer Lucas just sent a message, why aren't you speaking now?"
"Alright, Johnny."
Susan pulled Johnny, signaling him to stop babbling, so as not to provoke Lifebringer and cause unnecessary trouble.
Lifebringer didn't mind. He just sighed softly and disappeared, continuing on his path to pursue 1610 Mister Fantastic.
"Wait!"
Reed, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly shouted, "Lifebringer, after you find 1610 Reed, you'll need professional help to reshape the super-fluid domain through his instruments."
"I am a professional." Lifebringer's voice sounded out of thin air.
As the last scientist of the Sixth Cosmos, Lifebringer had the confidence to say this.
"But I am Reed Richards!"
Golden light condensed, and Lifebringer's figure reappeared.
Seeing this, Reed smiled. "Perhaps we can discuss how to find 1610 Richards. First, give me a copy of his life's archives."
Earth-404, Lucas Bookstore lounge.
"That's the situation. The birth of new laws is imminent."
Chug...
After drinking another bottle of Coca-Cola, Lucas said to the male Ancient One and Agamotto in front of him.
Hearing this, Agamotto frowned. "Chthon is inherently greedy and cunning, not a good candidate."
"There is life and death, good and evil, right and wrong. No life and no death, no good and no evil, no right and no wrong. All things in the world are always in opposition and coexistence, balance exists within them."
Lucas said solemnly, "Chthon is not a good choice for new laws, but as a part of new laws, he is just right."
"Alright, stop lecturing here." The male Ancient One jumped up and slapped Lucas's shoulder fiercely.
"Tell me, have you reached some agreement with Chthon?"
"Hehe, I can't hide anything from you, Master."
Chthon?
Agamotto frowned again and again, finally sighing, "Alright. Let's go, follow me."
Golden sparks flickered in the void, and a portal leading to Earth-616 opened.
Stepping out, Agamotto explained, "The end of the old, the beginning of the new, the center around which everything revolves. New laws can only be born there."
Lucas nodded, following in the footsteps of the male Ancient One and Agamotto, and condensed an informational stream of light to the Flickering Realm to notify Chthon.
Earth-616, Kamar-Taj.
Soon after Lucas, the male Ancient One, and Agamotto arrived, Hoggoth and Oshtur arrived one after another.
After another while, Chthon arrived late, dragging half of his body, which was corrupted beyond recognition.
Seeing Chthon's miserable state, male Ancient One, Agamotto, Oshtur, and Hoggoth were all shocked.
"Chaos Magic..."
With just one glance, the four recognized the source of Chthon's injuries.
Oshtur asked, "Logos was already captured, wasn't he? Brother, why were you still injured by Lord Chaos?"
Agamotto frowned. "Chthon, if you combine with us in this state, it will cause us to also be corrupted by Chaos Magic."
The implication was that Chthon in this state could not merge with them to create new laws.
Chthon ignored the two, only looking at Lucas, worried that Lucas would kick him out.
"Give me a little more time, and I can completely expel Chaos Magic and heal my injuries."
Lucas shook his head. "If you could expel Chaos Magic, you would have solved it long ago with Time magic."
Hearing this, Chthon's heart sank. He was about to open his mouth to explain, but then he heard Lucas say, "I'll help you."
Slightly stunned, Chthon said, "Then many thanks, Sorcerer Lucas."
"You're welcome, 80 billion."
Placing his hand on Chthon, the talent [Energy Absorption] activated.
Instantly, streams of scarlet energy mixed with faint wisps of foul-smelling greenish energy overflowed from Chthon's body.
The scarlet energy came from Chthon, and the greenish energy came from Lord Chaos.
