Sebastian was not surprised by Agamotto's arrival. This being represented not only the Vishanti, but also other Dimensional Lords and Demon Gods, mostly ancient beings from Earth. Sebastian had anticipated this. If they did not provoke him, fine. But if they did, Sebastian would give them a very unpleasant surprise.
Some things, like a grand trend, once started, could not be stopped unless they reached their end. Sebastian's plan was no exception. Once it began, there was absolutely no possibility of stopping midway. Either his plan succeeded and Sebastian obtained what he wanted, or his plan failed, resulting in defeat, death, and nothing. Sebastian felt no regret about his choice. Opportunities waited for no one. Five years ago was Dormammu's invasion. Five years later was Galactus's arrival. Only by seizing these opportunities could he ride the wave of this grand trend. Otherwise, the next opportunity would be millennia away, which was far too long for Sebastian.
A millennium was too long. He had to seize the day.
With this thought in mind, Sebastian did not linger any longer. A leisurely life was nice, but ultimately it would not help his important business.
Meanwhile, in the Magic Dimension, Sebastian's true form slightly opened his eyes, nodding in satisfaction. The wanderers who had left home had returned to Earth one after another. His plan could finally begin!
Galactus Arrives
The cosmic energy storm shattered a small asteroid like it was nothing and officially entered the solar system, heading directly towards Earth.
At this moment, T-Fortress immediately went into battle alert. Red warning lights flashed incessantly throughout the facility, putting everyone on high alert. Soon, the portals within T-Fortress opened one after another. Members of the Illuminati, the Avengers, and the Ultimate Avengers arrived, together facing the great enemy that threatened Earth's very survival.
"Rocket, is that the being?" Peter Parker asked urgently.
Hearing Peter's words, Rocket immediately nodded and said, "That is right. It is him—Galactus. He is really here!"
Along with Rocket's words, Adam Warlock, standing beside them, frowned slightly. The golden light emanating from his body flickered uncertainly. He vaguely sensed a threat, a threat powerful enough to destroy him completely.
At that moment, Adam Warlock seemed to sense something. He turned to look at Vision, who had just emerged from the portal. Vision also looked at Adam Warlock. Then, as if they both understood something, they nodded to each other and said nothing more.
Adam Warlock and Vision's unusual behavior went unnoticed by the others.
Meanwhile, Tony and Reed were operating the defense satellites in the main control room of T-Fortress.
The three fortresses of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, which had already undergone vibranium upgrades, had gathered on the side facing Galactus, forming a triangular formation. At that moment, with Tony and Reed's commands, a large number of nanobots poured out from the three defense satellites. They quickly transformed into connecting devices that linked the three satellites together, forming an enormous launch device!
This was the Anti-Cosmic Energy Dark Matter Cannon, created by Tony and Reed, who had gathered the most intelligent people on Earth—a powerful weapon capable of neutralizing or even eliminating cosmic energy!
"Reed, begin charging!" Tony commanded.
"Okay! Estimated charging complete in three minutes and thirty-two seconds," Reed replied.
"Where will Galactus be at that time?"
"Approximately near Jupiter's orbit!"
"Alright... then when it reaches the vicinity of Mars's orbit, we will fire a surprise attack!"
"Of course!"
With Tony and Reed's words, their hands flew across the control panel. Simultaneously, an unmanned spaceship carrying a small anti-cosmic energy dark matter weapon flew out of T-Fortress. It hid in the space between Earth and Mars, waiting for the successful attack before launching a direct assault on Galactus's ship.
At this moment, all the heroes gathered in T-Fortress, watching the approaching Galactus on the large screen. Some had serious expressions, some still smiled, but they all had one thing in common: they had all fallen silent, their eyes filled with solemnity!
After what felt like an eternity of five minutes, Reed's voice broke the silence.
"Target reached Mars orbit!"
Upon hearing this, Tony did not hesitate for even a moment. He immediately replied, "Then, fire!"
A launcher rose from the center of the control panel. Without hesitation, Tony unlocked the device with his fingerprint and pressed the launch button. Instantly, three defense satellites began operating at full power. A massive amount of energy flowed through pipes into the cannon, causing it to operate. A mixture of silver and black energy rapidly converged before the muzzle. Then a beam of energy of the same color shot out, directly towards the cosmic energy storm surrounding Galactus's ship, which was now practically upon them.
Boom!
The cosmic energy surrounding Galactus's ship rapidly converged. It transformed into a cosmic energy ray that met the incoming silver and black energy. However, when the two energies collided, the cosmic energy ray vanished as quickly as tofu hitting a rock. The Anti-Cosmic Energy Dark Matter Cannon, however, penetrated the outer cosmic energy storm and shot directly towards Galactus's ship.
But at that moment, a blue figure suddenly appeared before Galactus's ship. It was a female alien with a single eye and marine-like characteristics. Her body seemed composed of starlight and the sea itself—Stardust, one of the four Heralds of Galactus!
Stardust, wielding immense power, confronted the Anti-Cosmic Energy Dark Matter Cannon head-on. However, she was not Galactus after all. Under the power of the Anti-Cosmic Energy Dark Matter Cannon, forged from the combined forces of Earth's greatest minds, her body vanished in an instant, disappearing into space.
Nevertheless, Stardust's sacrifice was not in vain. The Anti-Cosmic Energy Dark Matter Cannon was ultimately blocked!
Seeing this, Tony slammed his fist on the control panel in front of him. He immediately gave the order: the small ships gathered in space instantly activated, rushing towards Galactus's ship in six teams, launching their attack.
However, just as the first wave of attacks was blocked by the defensive devices surrounding Galactus's ship, and a second wave was about to begin, Galactus's ship suddenly unleashed a barrage of tiny energy rays. They seemed to possess eyes of their own. Each ray destroyed a small ship, and in a single attack, all the small ships were reduced to nothing.
Seeing this devastating display, Tony's face turned extremely grim. Taking a deep breath, Tony was about to release more small ships to attack when he suddenly saw Galactus's ship fire a tractor beam. It landed not far from T-Fortress.
The next second, an extremely tall, giant-like humanoid creature appeared on the moon. He stared expressionlessly at T-Fortress with eyes that held no mercy.
Galactus had arrived!
