"We have witnessed your strength and you have earned our respect."
"Stop!"
"From now on, there will be no more Ragnarok!"
"We are leaving!"
"We will not pursue vengeance for the deaths of Jormungandr and the Three Sisters of Fate!"
Those simple outlines made of lines appeared again.
Once more, they urged Aron and the others to stop.
But such behavior was like that of a spoiled child, you had to wait until its true face was revealed and disaster became inevitable.
The final outcome, of course, was the hammer.
"Should I show you the way?"
asked Galactus.
"No need."
Those white lines had already revealed where the ancient gods were.
Aron gave Thor a glance, and he flew off in that direction first.
Thor, Odin, Hela, and Gorr followed after him.
Finally…
In the barren, dead starfield,
they all saw the ancient gods, the true ancient gods.
"These are the ancient gods?"
Thor was disappointed.
Because before them was only one blue creature of stocky build.
It sat on a meteorite without a single piece of covering.
In its hand, it held a blue being more than ten times smaller than itself, bringing it to its mouth, opening its bloody jaws wide, tearing and chewing.
With its other hand, it grabbed another deformed blue being.
It pulled it under itself.
Performing mechanical motions!
And all around were many more similar blue creatures!
They existed as if they were food or toys for the ancient gods.
"The first god gazed into the void, and his heart was filled with loneliness. From the tears in the corners of his eyes, the world was born; the droplets became oceans, and when they froze, the earth was born…"
"That's what I was taught."
Gorr the God Butcher looked at the blue creature before him.
Disgust flickered in his eyes.
"I don't see any benevolent or great gods here!"
"I see only a bunch of deformed fools!"
"Nothing divine!"
"Yes, only primitive instinct! Mating with those disgusting close relatives!"
Gorr's description of the ancient gods provoked no objections.
Even Thor was disappointed with the appearance of the ancient gods.
No wonder they never showed their true faces.
"You… should not be here… Our enmity has ended…"
Seeing Aron and his group,
the crude blue creature slowly stood up.
Since it had not a shred of covering,
as it rose, its hideous, deformed organs inevitably showed.
"Oh, group funding for a pair of eyes that have never seen this before!"
Aron swung his sword through the air.
The black flash of the All-Black the Necrosword was easily blocked by the blue being before him.
Its power far surpassed that of the Three Sisters of Fate and Jormungandr!
On the contrary, those smaller blue creatures around it radiated an aura similar to that of the Three Sisters of Fate.
"Are you the ancient god? Or… are you all?"
asked Aron.
"I alone am the ancient god! I am the First God!"
The crude blue creature had a proud smile on its face.
With that smile, the fat on its blue face pressed into its eye sockets.
Only two narrow slits of eyes were revealed.
"They are my children."
In the end, he didn't forget to introduce the other blue creatures around him.
At that, everyone recalled what he had just been doing to those blue creatures.
Suddenly, a wave of nausea rose in their hearts.
"No, I can't tolerate this, Devourer!"
As soon as Aron said that,
Galactus, who had originally only stayed to protect Aron and hadn't interfered,
this time also stepped forward without hesitation.
Because he, too, was disgusted.
"Filth!"
"And you dare to call yourself the God of Progenitors!?"
As soon as Galactus appeared, everyone stepped aside.
Whether it was Aron, Odin, or Gorr the God Butcher…
all eagerly awaited the famed Devourer of Worlds to show his power.
"Leave it to me!"
Galactus appeared in his original form, and as he raised his hand, a pillar of energy capable of destroying worlds and earth shot forth.
The space along its path immediately disintegrated, no, was erased!
Wherever the pillar of light passed, only a dead line remained!
There was nothing there!
Touch it and you die!
However.
The next scene shocked everyone.
That ancient god, who looked like a fat blue man,
stopped the deadly beam released by the Devourer of Worlds with just one hand.
"!!!"
"!!!"
Odin, Thor, Hela, and Gorr all looked stunned.
Only Aron thought to himself: Exactly!
Let's be honest, Galactus, could you at least try showing off only after you've eaten?
Even half full would do!
"I… gave you a chance…"
The First Ancient God clearly noticed that the Devourer of Worlds before him was not as powerful as expected.
After confirming that Galactus was not in peak form,
the ancient god launched an attack!
His fat right hand swept through the air.
Almost infinite cosmic energy surged toward Galactus!
"This isn't good!"
The invincible Devourer of Worlds could naturally feel the sheer magnitude of that power.
If he were at full strength…
No!
Even if he were half full!
He could easily suppress this so-called ancient god!
But the problem was…
That "one or two bites" Galactus mentioned to Aron had been an exaggeration.
The truth was he hadn't even had one bite!
"Devourer, need help?"
Aron raised the All-Black the Necrosword and asked.
"No need!"
Galactus refused without hesitation.
Even though he felt that the ancient god before him was far stronger than his current state,
Galactus, born arrogant, still couldn't lower his pride.
I am Galactus!
The invincible Devourer of Worlds!
Would I fear some rat that hides its head but shows its tail?
Feeling humiliated, Galactus directly pulled out the treasure from the bottom of his chest…
A lighter!
More precisely, the Ultimate Nullifier!
The true SSR of the Marvel universe!
"Die…"
However, before Galactus could even use the Ultimate Nullifier,
the power of the ancient god exploded.
The light was blinding!
Boom——!
Boom…!
One thunderous explosion.
Then endless echoes.
Wave after wave of energy shocks flattened everything around.
Even Odin had to hold his spear before him
just to barely stay standing.
...
As the first deity born 14 billion years ago,
the ancient god had witnessed nearly all miraculous scenes during the universe's barbaric era, granting him countless divine powers!
Among them was the power of weaving destiny, which he bestowed upon the Three Sisters of Fate!
But that still wasn't the true power of the ancient god.
His true power lay in the brilliant move he made from the very beginning.
Beyond the universe!
He came to this desolate space that no one cared about!
He extended the black hand of fate toward the parallel universes and cast a great net called Ragnarok!
All past and future!
Countless reincarnations of the universe in silence!
Ragnarok, again and again.
It had brought unimaginable power to the ancient god.
And to Galactus, the proud Devourer of Worlds, it brought a new downfall.
That's right!
The invincible Uncle Galactus has fallen again!!
"Oh, I knew it!"
Aron wasn't surprised by the scene at all.
The heavily struck Galactus was sent flying, and the Ultimate Nullifier in his hand was knocked loose.
It drew an arc and then accurately landed… into Aron's hand!
"???"
Without almost any hesitation,
Aron decisively stuffed it into his pocket.
"Goodbye, Galactus, see you later, Galactus."
