It seemed that the current Gali hadn't yet grown into the cannon version of Galacta from the comics—she was just a poor insanely powerful girl who had only recently arrived on Earth.
Blaine pouted.
This was a good thing for him. This version of Gali was much softer and more agreeable than the future version of Gali, who would eventually be influenced by all kinds of ideologies.
Mainly, she was cute!
After hearing Blaine's words, Gali nodded enthusiastically.
"My home is far away, and I want to follow you."
She had no desire to devour this planet, and Blaine was the first person who had ever given her something to eat. Naturally, she wanted to stick with him.
In this regard, Blaine could only nod helplessly and stretch out his hand.
"Come on."
He couldn't resist her adorable little face. He could only comfort himself by thinking: This cute Gali won't do anything weird to me.
And honestly, that wasn't just consolation—it was the truth.
After all, the sense of danger had disappeared. That meant Gali had given up on the idea of eating him.
Gali hesitated for a moment, then as if suddenly understanding something, grabbed Blaine's hand with her fingers.
Even though it was still early, Blaine wasn't in the mood to return to school and continue studying.
He glanced at Gali, who was holding his hand tightly, and fell silent.
Does this count as abducting a Boss who's not quite a god of the universe, but stronger than one? If Galactus finds out, will he rush to Earth to kill me?
He could only hope Gali would stop him if it came to that.
The corners of Blaine's mouth twitched, and he shook his head helplessly.
Well, now that he had abducted a super powerful yet clueless girl…
He would have to take responsibility for raising her.
Actually, Gali didn't have many demands. She only cared about one thing: food.
Just like her father, she could never be full—always hungry. If her stomach were compared to the universe, then the fast food she'd just eaten wasn't even a speck of dust in it.
What am I supposed to feed this little one when we get home?
Should he hire a bunch of chefs to cook for her 24/7?
That wouldn't work... Even if she ate everything on Earth, she wouldn't be full. For Gali, Earth's food amounted to a fraction of a fraction of the universe.
So what should I do?
Blaine sighed. He suddenly thought of his parents—did they feel the same way when they had just brought him into the world?
"What's wrong?"
Gali noticed Blaine's expression instantly and said seriously, her small face solemn:
"I can help you deal with it."
Blaine looked at her serious expression and shook his head.
"I'm just thinking about what I should feed you."
This made Gali, who had been ready to act, calm down instantly and straighten up.
Obviously, she also understood how enormous her appetite was—but the hunger was too much to endure.
Even though the human in front of her looked quite tasty…
Well, to her father, humans like Blaine were food. But Gali wasn't the same as her father—she chose to endure.
"That fat guy looked delicious."
Gali glanced at the plump man who had just passed by. There was a sparkle in her eyes.
Though compared to the guy next to her, that man still fell short.
She silently added that part in her heart.
"Don't even think about eating people."
Blaine gently pinched Gali's cheek and said seriously,
"I'll give you something delicious. Got it?"
It wasn't that he had a sudden moral awakening or wanted to save humanity.
The main thing was that he couldn't let Gali start. Once she started, there'd be no stopping her.
"Oh."
Gali nodded obediently and pouted.
"I was just thinking about it. I won't actually eat him."
"You can't even think about it."
Blaine kept lecturing her. He looked exactly like an old father trying to shape his daughter's moral compass. If Nick Fury saw this, he'd probably die laughing.
"Got it."
Gali curled her lips and nodded.
Gurgle...
Gurgle...
Even though Gali tried hard to suppress the growl in her stomach, it was useless.
As the Boss of all Seven cosmic beings, her only weakness was hunger. No matter what, she couldn't suppress it for long. All she could do was endure.
Otherwise, Galactus wouldn't have ended up being labeled a "supervillain" on the Wikis and Fandoms in his previous life.
"Hungry?" Blaine asked softly.
"Mm."
Gali held Blaine's hand with her left hand and rubbed her belly with her right, nodding.
"Let's go home. I'll get you something to eat."
Blaine had already thought of a prop that might help Gali—at least temporarily.
***
[Food-Making Machine]
Price: 1,000,000.
Function: Can use various tiny creatures floating in the air to make food on Earth.
***
Its prototype probably came from Doraemon.
Blaine raised an eyebrow. This clearly wouldn't be enough. Earth food definitely couldn't relieve Gali's hunger.
He wasn't trying to be dramatic. The idea of filling Galactus was impossible. If it were that easy, poor Galactus wouldn't have become a big villain.
Hah… Was this the second time he felt sympathy for Galactus?
In short, all he could do was slightly ease her hunger.
Eventually, Blaine shook his head and looked at a ridiculously expensive prop.
***
[Planet-Making Machine]
Price: 400,000,000
Function: Creates a dead planet that cannot sustain life. Cooldown time: 15 minutes.
***
The selling price was a whopping 400 million!
Blaine's mouth twitched.
What's the point of making a dead planet that can't support life?
Is this machine just for throwing planets at people? Even then, it's useless.
If it didn't have a cooldown, sure—maybe he could use it like a planetary machine gun and wipe out entire worlds. But with a cooldown? What a joke.
Still… people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Blaine muttered in his heart,
"System, can you modify it? Turn this planet-manufacturing machine into a watch or something, and make the planets smaller, but with the same amount of mass?"
***
[Planet-Manufacturing Machine (Watch)]
Price: 500,000,000
A watch-form planet-making machine. It creates dead planets that cannot support life and shrinks them to the size of a ping pong ball. Cooldown time: 15 minutes.
***
Price: 500 million!
System, you greedy bastard! Do you really know how to do business?!
The original was already 400 million just to make a dead planet. Now I just want it to be smaller—but keep the same mass—and you're charging me an extra 100 million?!
Blaine was heartbroken.
He had earned 300 million from stealing Mjolnir, and his previous balance was 204.8 million.
Total: 504.8 million!
Don't be so damn harsh!
