Chapter 112: The Black Devil vs. The Galactus
"What a bunch of weak, low-intelligence creatures," Galactus sneered, looking down with disdain at the fallen Avengers scattered across the ground.
He had originally thought that beings capable of wielding the power of the Infinity Stones would be formidable. Yet, before he even needed to show his true strength, these so-called heroes had already collapsed.
"If you possess Infinity Stones, I'll find them after I devour this planet," he declared coldly.
A shimmering phantom emerged from Galactus's massive body — a towering pillar of energy. As it fully materialized, the pillar stretched impossibly high, seemingly piercing the heavens themselves. It radiated a terrifying aura of overwhelming power and endless consumption.
Everyone present felt their hair stand on end. The oppressive force from the pillar made their instincts scream in terror.
"Boom!"
The pillar slammed into the riverbed with a deafening crash. Instantly, the ground beneath it melted away under the devouring energy, rapidly disintegrating into nothingness.
The surrounding seawater frantically tried to rush in and refill the void, but the moment it touched the vicinity of the pillar, it was vaporized into mist. In just seconds, everyone could feel the sea level visibly drop.
"Ah, such a delicious flavor!" Galactus exhaled, clearly relishing the 'taste' of Earth.
"If you have spacecraft," he said with cruel amusement, turning his gaze toward the survivors, "I suggest you leave this planet immediately. Otherwise... you'll be swallowed up with it."
