If it were a Planet Devourer, Luo Bai might still be a little worried.
After all, Galactus is one of the five great cosmic entities, and his power should not be underestimated.
But if it was only Galactus' herald who came, Luo Bai had nothing to worry about.
Seeing Luo Bai so confident, Stark breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's good to have a chance of winning, but I'm just afraid..."
Before Stark could finish, Luo Bai spoke again: "Galactus' herald is easy to deal with, but the real problem is Galactus himself. He wouldn't come to Earth without a reason—someone must have ordered him to. This means Earth has been targeted."
Hearing this, Stark's heart, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.
Although Stark had never seen the full power of the Planet Devourer, just hearing the name was enough to make him uneasy.
"The God of Creation… just hearing that title sounds terrifying. But I'm curious—is he more powerful than Vishanti?" Stark asked hurriedly.
Luo Bai answered without hesitation, "Of course! The power of a cosmic entity is beyond human comprehension."
At this point, Stark finally began to grasp the situation.
He carefully processed Luo Bai's words, then thought about the names of the five great cosmic entities.
Something must have clicked in his mind because he suddenly blurted out, "Death, Infinity, Galactus… These names don't just sound like gods, they sound like concepts—like fundamental laws of the universe."
Luo Bai nodded and confirmed Stark's suspicions.
"You're absolutely right. These five cosmic entities are the embodiment of universal laws. They represent space, time, destruction, nothingness, and balance."
"You've studied magic, so you should already know—the universe we live in is just one of countless others in the multiverse."
"The five cosmic entities established the fundamental rules of this universe. But since there are infinite universes, there are actually multiple versions of them, existing across the multiverse."
"They have countless manifestations. If they decide to target us, it will definitely be a disaster for Earth," Luo Bai said.
At this moment, Stark finally realized just how powerful Galactus truly was.
But still…
"Honestly, I just don't get it. Why would such an unbelievably powerful being bother with our tiny little Earth?" Stark couldn't help but complain.
Luo Bai shrugged helplessly. "No choice. Galactus feeds on planets—including Earth. It's not surprising that he would target us. To beings like him, planets are just food. Whether he eats one or not depends entirely on his mood."
"So… is there any way we can stop the Planet Devourer?" Stark asked.
"There should be… but it won't be easy. Stopping him will likely lead to war," Luo Bai said.
He recalled that Galactus had tried to consume Earth multiple times before but had always failed.
Which meant that stopping him was possible.
But it would require a battle.
Hearing that there might be a war against Galactus, Stark was stunned.
"You mean… Earth might go to war with a cosmic entity?" Stark asked in disbelief.
Luo Bai thought for a moment before nodding. "A fight is inevitable."
Stark: "..."
First it was Dormammu. Then it was Thanos. Now it's Galactus. What's next? The other cosmic entities?
No, seriously—what's so special about Earth?
Why does everyone in the universe want a piece of it?
Thinking about this, Stark sighed helplessly. "This is getting exhausting. Our enemies just keep getting stronger and stronger."
Luo Bai immediately agreed. "That's exactly why I keep telling you to study and improve as quickly as possible. The threats Earth will face in the future are only going to get worse."
Stark didn't respond. He just stared at the cosmic monitor.
At this moment, the Milky Way's position was getting dangerously close to Earth.
"Then how should we deal with Galactus' herald? I doubt he's here for sightseeing," Stark said.
Since Galactus had set his sights on Earth, he had sent a herald in advance.
And if Galactus wanted to consume Earth, then the arrival of his herald definitely had a deeper purpose.
Luo Bai understood this.
But then he remembered something.
The reason Silver Surfer was called "Silver Surfer"…
Was because this guy could be turned against Galactus.
Considering how powerful he was, Luo Bai suddenly had an idea—it might be possible to make him switch sides.
Thinking of this, Luo Bai immediately said, "I'll try to persuade him to protect Earth. If he refuses, then I'll have to deal with him myself."
Stark frowned. "Persuade him? Wait, you're not saying… you want him to betray Galactus, are you? Do you really think he'd be willing to listen to us?"
Before Stark even finished speaking, Luo Bai responded confidently, "Of course. I'm great at persuading people. Even Thor's sister listened to me."
"Thor's sister?" Stark looked at Luo Bai in confusion. "Thor has a sister?"
Luo Bai nodded. "Of course. Odin sealed her away long ago, but she was recently released. She wanted to overthrow Asgard and almost killed both Odin and Thor. Fortunately, I stopped her."
"Oh… my god. Is Thor's family always this chaotic?" Stark sighed. "So… what happened after that?"
Stark asked with great interest, clearly enjoying the gossip.
Luo Bai smiled and explained, "After my persuasion, Thor's sister gave up her rebellion."
"I'm curious—how did you persuade her? Did you use a beauty trap?" Stark asked.
Luo Bai shook his head and replied casually, "Of course not. I usually use my fists."
Stark: "......"
What a great way to "convince" people with reason.
But, to be fair, sometimes that method really does work.
For example, right now—dealing with Galactus' herald.
Stark figured that they might have to "convince" him with reason as well.
"According to cosmic monitoring and analysis, the herald will arrive on Earth in about half an hour. Looks like I'll have to postpone my plans," Stark said.
Originally, he had planned to return to propose to Pepper Potts, but since Silver Surfer was about to arrive on Earth…
He decided to handle this situation first and go back later.
However, Luo Bai had no intention of letting him stay. After all, a powerhouse like Silver Surfer was clearly not someone Stark could handle.
So Luo Bai immediately said, "Tony, you should go back. I'll take care of this."
Stark was stunned and quickly protested, "But I'm a member of the Avengers!"
Luo Bai immediately responded with a serious expression, "I know. But with your current strength, you won't be of much help in this fight. What I need from you, Tony, is to focus on creating stronger and more advanced battle suits."
Hearing this, Stark seemed to understand.
He shrugged and said, "Alright, I get it. I'll leave this to you, Luo Bai."
After saying that, Stark grabbed his research equipment, opened a portal, and left the Kamar-Taj dormitory.
As for Luo Bai, he activated his cosmic vision and began monitoring Silver Surfer's approach.
Just as the cosmic monitoring had predicted, Silver Surfer arrived at Earth's orbit precisely half an hour later.
He stopped outside the planet, gazing at it coldly.
After confirming that this was indeed Earth, he prepared to descend.
However, before he could break through the atmosphere, a massive network of magic circles materialized, blocking his path.
Just as Silver Surfer was about to test this barrier out of curiosity, preparing to force his way in—
Luo Bai, wearing his flowing Cloak of Levitation, appeared before him.
Before Silver Surfer could speak, Luo Bai spoke first:
"That magic circle is my warning to you. If you attempt to force your way in, you will be treated as an invader of Earth.
Galactus' herald—are you certain you want to invade this planet?"
