In fact, everything before their eyes, including each other, is fake... or rather, it's all a reflection of their own hearts.
For example, the monsters and bizarre worlds that Gel saw were not because Gel had actually come to the place where Nar was sealed, but rather a reflection of Nar's own will. Of course, Nar could have created other scenes, but Nar wanted to scare Gel, so he used the scenes that he was most familiar with and thought Gel would be afraid of.
The reason I'm most familiar with it is because that's what makes it most authentic. After all, this thing is meant to fool people, and if there are any flaws, it won't fool anyone.
Ger was much more down-to-earth; as for himself… he felt there was nothing to be proud of in his life. His whole life was a tragedy; who was he showing it to? To elicit laughter?
So he rushed up and started fighting.
The two appear to be human figures, but in reality, they are projections of their will.
So watching the two fight is actually quite thrilling.
First, Gel pulled out the blackened, dried-out heart, and the next second, Nal bit off half of Gel's head. But the next second, the two returned to normal.
Nar tore Gale to pieces, but those pieces instantly transformed into countless sharp blades that pierced Nar's body. Then, another Gale appeared behind Nar.
It is a contest of wills. Will is not the body; it does not die from setbacks. Will is not the soul; it does not weaken from injury.
As long as one side does not surrender, its will will never be extinguished!
This is also the troublesome aspect of a contest of wills.
For Nar, one of the highest-ranking deities in the universe, controlling someone would be incredibly easy. He has countless ways to do it, but unfortunately, he's currently sealed in the abyss and can't project much power at all. Even throwing out his Black Death Sword was a huge struggle for him, and that's only because the seal is primarily aimed at Nar himself; the Black Death Sword is just a side effect.
The Black Death Sword itself cannot be nourished by Nar's power. All it can do is find a host and then use that host to slaughter gods to replenish its energy.
Unfortunately, this energy is not inexhaustible. It had already used up most of its power escaping from Earth, and now that Thor has smashed it, it's almost turned into scrap metal.
This forced Nar to resort to this tactic.
Of course, he is now in this predicament thanks in large part to Eternal's intervention.
If it weren't for Eternity allowing Gel to see the truth, Nar would have already fulfilled his long-cherished wish by now!
Unfortunately, Nar didn't have the guts to complain about eternity.
It's important to understand that while Gnar represents the void of the universe, he is, in a sense, immortal. This is why the Living Tribunal and the Celestials only sealed him away instead of killing him.
But this is not a problem for the five great gods.
The five deities correspond to the five fundamental elements of the universe.
Eternity represents time; with it, the universe has a past and a future.
Death represents the cycle of life, which is surprising, isn't it? She does represent life and death, but not just death. She is the embodiment of death, the master of the soul, and the source, creator, and manipulator of all life and souls born when the Marvel multiverse was created.
Infinity represents space, the concrete manifestation of the entire universe.
Annihilation represents nothingness and the concrete manifestation of the unknowable. It arbitrarily creates, destroys, manipulates, and alters all existing and non-existent matter and spacetime axes in the omnipotent universe. Simply put, it represents existence and non-existence.
Planet Eater represents the balance of the universe.
And eternity is the most special one; it is eternity, death, infinity, and annihilation! It is also a planet devourer!
Of these five, Galactus is the weakest.
The other four dragons are rarely seen, and even someone as powerful as Gnar has never actually met any of them.
Galactus devourers are not uncommon; in fact, you can actively seek them out if you're interested. This is because Galactus devourers roam the universe. Some older cosmic powers are even aware of Galactus devourers, and quite a few have even fought against them…
The information about Galactus is also the most complete. His real name is Galan, born on the distant planet Ta'a, the genetically engineered son of the outstanding scientist Ta'aia on that planet. As an adult, Galan became an interstellar explorer, while a cosmic plague known as "Black Winter" was destroying his universe. When he piloted his spaceship towards the point of reality's collapse, he merged with the "Sixth Universe Consciousness"—the physical manifestation of that dying universe—ultimately transforming into the "Galactus Devourer," becoming the "devourer of worlds."
As Galactus slowly hatched within a cosmic egg forged from spaceship wreckage, the modern Marvel Universe (Universe 7) gradually took shape. Billions of years later, Galactus emerged from the egg, becoming one of the most powerful beings in the new universe, destined to be the destroyer and terminator of worlds. Over billions of years, Galactus has destroyed countless worlds. However, this "great devourer" harbors no ill will towards the planets he consumes, even attempting on several occasions to feed only on inanimate planets. Despite this initial intention, he must continue to feed—his appetite is crucial to maintaining the cyclical order of the multiverse. The multiverse exists in an eternal cycle of birth and death, just as the consumption of Universe 6, home to Galactus, gave birth to Universe 7, upon which Galactus thrives. When Galactus consumes a planet, he converts matter into energy; his lifelong consumption of planets is to accumulate enough energy to trigger the next Big Bang, giving birth to the next cycle of the multiverse—Universe 8. In fulfilling this cosmic mission, he absorbed the energy of powerful substances such as "Macaran Crystals," but ultimately discovered that the only substances that could provide him with sufficient energy were planets.
Despite its towering size, the "Gallopian Devourer" doesn't feed by "devouring" planets. This "world devourer" utilizes several cutting-edge devices, the principles of which are difficult even for the most brilliant scientists to fully comprehend. While it can feed without these advanced devices, it typically activates an "Elemental Energy Converter" to extract usable energy from a planet. Once it has absorbed all the planet's life energy, it departs, leaving behind only a lifeless, wrecked remains. Before feeding, the "Gallopian Devourer" travels to the target planet aboard its "Planet" spaceship, dispatching messengers to warn or confront the planet's inhabitants while simultaneously undertaking other preparations.
At first, he only occasionally devoured planets, but now he needs to eat about once a month. If he doesn't eat for a long time, he becomes extremely weak.
At this point, even Galactus could be defeated by ordinary beings... Yes, Galactus failed more than once!
He is probably the most shameful creator god.
Despite being defeated, Galactus remains active; it is not only not dead, but it cannot even be sealed away.
When the "Galactic Devourer" is hungry, the entire universe becomes his meal. He harbors an eternal and infinite hunger, which can only be alleviated by devouring planets. He is one of the primal forces of the universe, a symbol of death and destruction for all.
He is one of the most fundamental and primal forces in the universe!
He is the origin of the universe!
To put it simply, the reason he appears to be the weakest is simply because he is too human-like!
Although Galactus is called a cosmic catastrophe, why are there actually not many people who really know about Galactus?
The answer is that this guy is actually quite humane.
As mentioned above, once he arrives at a planet inhabited by life, he will send his messengers to inform the life on that planet to either relocate or await death.
That's right, he will also give those swallowed planets time to relocate.
In addition, when the planet devourer is not hungry, it is actually quite easy to talk to.
For example, the messenger of Galactus—Silver Surfer.
The Silver Surfer, whose real name is Norrin Ryder, is an astronomer on the alien planet Zenn-La. One day, Galactus, the Devourer of Souls, descends upon Zenn-La. He warns all the inhabitants that the planet has been chosen as his food source. Norrin Ryder decides to try and negotiate with Galactus, begging him to spare his home planet. The price is that Norrin serves Galactus and helps him find a suitable planet to eat. After considering it, Galactus accepts Norrin's condition and grants him immense power. The moment Norrin comes into contact with this power, a completely silver shell grows around his body, and his memories, sense of good and evil, conscience, and morality are completely erased. After transforming Norrin into the Silver Surfer, Galactus orders him to find a edible planet. Because his memories have been erased, the Silver Surfer immediately points to his home planet and says, "That one is edible." But Galactus replies, "I made an agreement with a respectable person; I cannot eat that one."
After becoming the Silver Surfer, his body is made of one of the hardest substances in the universe, as is his surfboard. As the messenger of Galactus, his mission is to find planets in the universe for his master, Galactus, to devour. Cosmic energy grants the Silver Surfer superhuman strength, an invulnerable body, and eternal life. The Silver Surfer possesses endless cosmic energy when connected to his surfboard, which he can use for attack, defense, and flight. The Silver Surfer does not need to eat, drink, or sleep to replenish his energy. He can freely see the past and future of everything. The Silver Surfer can travel at the speed of light on his surfboard, and upon reaching 99.9% of the speed of light, he enters hyperspace. The Silver Surfer is one of the noblest and most tormented cosmic entities, possessing immeasurable power, virtually indestructible defense, and the ability to fly at near-infinite speeds. When he exceeds the speed of light, he can enter hyperspace for time travel. It can detect matter and energy light-years away, its perception reaches the subatomic level, it can see through time, and it can perceive, to a limited extent, events happening around it in the past and future. The Silver Surfer can repair and even rebuild a skateboard.
Isn't that awesome?
If his messengers are so powerful, one can only imagine how strong he himself must be.
Unfortunately, Galactus was essentially a good person. A very good person.
Even when he was starving, he would still act according to his principles and give those poor lives a little chance.
Of course, this wasn't his worst moment. The worst part was that the planet devourer was mostly in a state of mental impairment, unable to communicate at all, because he was starving and confused... The reason for this was that he would try to choose planets without life to devour.
But planets without life often have very little energy.
This also resulted in him being perpetually hungry and in a mentally challenged state for 80% of the time. In this state, he had virtually no strength and could only take beatings.
This has led to many people not knowing that he is one of the five creator gods.
Even someone like that is someone that Naru can't possibly mess with!
Believe it or not, if Nar were to go looking for trouble with Galactus, Galactus would be happy to just eat him up!
Although Nal is not a planet, the energy it contains is unparalleled by ordinary planets!
Therefore, Nar could only silently endure Eternity's actions of stealing his life!
Now he can only use the most primitive and dangerous methods to deal with Ger.
……
Seeing that ordinary methods were ineffective in defeating Gale, Nar resorted to underhanded tactics.
The next second, Ger suddenly lost his enemy.
Then he looked around.
I found everything around me to be both strange and familiar!
This is... his home!
Home……
Familiar yet unfamiliar words.
Gel came from an unnamed planet, a place of unbearable heat where rain had been scarce for years. Due to the harsh environment and lack of food, Gel's father died at the young age of 30. One day, Gel and his mother had only one fruit left. Gel was starving, but his mother wouldn't let him touch it. Why? Because Gel's race worshipped a god, and his mother believed that offering this last fruit as an offering would bring them divine favor… Then, two wild beasts appeared. To protect Gel, his mother was mauled to death by the beasts. Before she died, she prayed, "The gods will protect us…"
This is what Geer lived before he became an adult.
Later, he grew up and finally had his own family.
This is the place we are in right now.
A cave enclosed by wooden sticks... this was his small but cozy home.
The only reason I built my home in this place is because it's cooler here.
"Ger? What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a voice he hadn't heard in a very long time rang in his ears.
Ger suddenly turned around!
A pregnant woman who looked clean and healthy sat on a bed made of animal hides and looked at him.
Ger stared wide-eyed at the familiar yet unfamiliar person before him!
He murmured in disbelief.
"Nina?"
