A moment later, Silver Surfer returned to the main control hall.
"It seems Planet Devourer's departure didn't affect your strength."
Mr. Hawking smiled at the sight.
Silver Surfer was different from Star-Lord. If Star-Lord's father, Celestial Ego, died, Star-Lord's Celestial Power would disappear. But Planet Devourer's death did not affect Silver Surfer.
That was because Silver Surfer's power came from the surfboard beneath his feet, and that surfboard was essentially a magical artifact forged by Planet Devourer.
The death of the person who forged a magical artifact did not mean the artifact could no longer be used.
It was merely that, as the surfboard's creator, Planet Devourer possessed greater control over it.
If Silver Surfer disobeyed him, he could directly prevent Silver Surfer from using the surfboard.
Now that Planet Devourer was dead, Silver Surfer had also been freed from those restrictions and became the surfboard's true master.
However, as one of the Five Gods, Planet Devourer would not truly die as long as this universe remained intact. In the future, he would return to life with his hunger, though that would be a very long time from now.
It was like the six Infinity Stones. They were indispensable to the universe. Even if they were destroyed, they would slowly form again.
"Compared to your strength, mine is still far too lacking. If it were you, you could probably destroy Hala, the Kree Empire's home planet, with a single strike."
Remembering the scene of Mr. Hawking fighting the Judges, Silver Surfer could not help but sigh.
To be able to fight the Judges for so long, even if they had been heavily injured and suppressed, meant he stood among the strongest beings in the universe, on the same level as his former master, Planet Devourer.
Forget that meteor just now—even
