Daisy considered the danger Galactus posed and kept the White Phoenix as a last resort because using it could cost her and Jean their identities. She asked Odin how Earth had defeated Galactus before, but he warned that doing so would require enormous sacrifices and left her without an answer.

• Captain Marvel absorbed energy from a nearby star to recover, while Daisy returned to Earth after recovering from her injuries.

• Daisy asked how humans had once defeated Galactus, and Odin said the victory would demand many human sacrifices and cause civilization to regress.

Odin rejected Daisy's request to coordinate against Galactus and charged toward him alone, intent on making his final stand as an Asgardian. Daisy followed to witness the battle and arrived before Galactus and his four heralds as Odin gathered strength for a single strike.

• Odin restored his armor, reclaimed Gungnir, and declared that he would face Galactus alone.
• Daisy tried to persuade Odin to coordinate with her, but he insisted the battle was his and rode off toward Galactus.

• Daisy teleported to Galactus and greeted his four heralds, noticing that Fire Lord had fully recovered.
• Daisy sensed Odin accelerating toward Galactus from afar while Galactus and his heralds watched her in confusion.

Odin charged Galactus with Gungnir, while Daisy held back Galactus’s heralds and used Heimdall’s Gjallarhorn to strengthen Odin. The horn’s call reached Asgard and much of the Milky Way as Odin’s attack arrived, leaving the clash with Galactus poised to begin.

• Daisy blew Heimdall’s Gjallarhorn three times, summoning Asgardian blessings and intensifying Odin’s fighting spirit before the horn shattered.
• Thor, Captain America, Loki, Frigga, Sif, and the Warriors Three sensed the horn call as Odin reached Galactus.

Odin faced Galactus in a duel, using a headbutt to stun the cosmic giant and drive Gungnir through his armor. The clash ended with Galactus striking Odin while Odin pressed forward, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Odin thrust Gungnir into Galactus's armor, and Galactus punched Odin in the chest as Odin drove the spear deeper.

Odin spent his remaining strength wounding Galactus and chose to die as Asgard’s God King rather than transform into a new life form. He left Daisy with a warning that Earth’s conflict with Galactus might be resolved through communication, then summoned Thor and Loki to say goodbye.

• Odin poured his divine power into Gungnir, pierced Galactus’s chest, and was struck away by Galactus, leaving the spear broken.
• Daisy rescued the gravely injured Odin and brought him to the place on Earth where he had first arrived.

• Odin summoned Thor and Loki, asked them to care for their mother, and admitted that he had failed them and Asgard.

Odin died after choosing to face his enemy as Asgard’s God King, and Frigga returned his body to Asgard for a funeral. Daisy stopped Hela from coming through a portal, gave Baldy a fragment of Gungnir, and learned that Doctor Doom wanted S.H.I.E.L.D.’s help reclaiming Latveria.

• Daisy gave Baldy the Gungnir fragment and prepared to return to Proxima Centauri.
• Baldy told Daisy that Doctor Doom wanted supplies from S.H.I.E.L.D. to retake Latveria, and Daisy became interested when he mentioned hidden gold.

• Planet Devourer singled out Norman Osborn in Stark Armor, leaving Daisy and Norman stunned.

Galactus identified Norman Osborn as the culprit behind a threat to the universe, and Daisy offered him up to avert a conflict. When Galactus also demanded Wanda and Jean, Daisy and the Avengers refused, leaving Daisy to attack him with the Infinity Gauntlet.

• Galactus also demanded Jean and named Daisy a threat, prompting the Avengers to declare they would not abandon their companions.
• Daisy struck Galactus in the face with a Power Stone-charged punch, making him stagger only half a step.

Daisy attacked Galactus by exploiting his lingering injuries, while Wanda and Black Bolt kept him from receiving help. The chapter left Daisy's God-Slaying Sword embedded beneath Galactus's ribs, but it had only made a shallow wound.

• Daisy thrust the God-Slaying Sword beneath Galactus's ribs and cracked his armor, but only pierced his body shallowly.

Daisy and Jean joined their powers through the Phoenix Earrings and became the White Phoenix, turning the battle against Galactus. They left Galactus wounded and urged him to retreat, but he refused, betting that their power would overwhelm them.

• Daisy pulled the God-Slaying Sword from Galactus, who retaliated by striking down Black Bolt and Captain Marvel.
• Daisy joined Jean and put on a Phoenix Earring, while Silver Surfer took over Jean's fight against Fire Lord.

• White Phoenix offered to let Galactus leave Earth if he admitted defeat, but Galactus refused and warned that they could not control their power for long.

White Phoenix overwhelmed Galactus, but he warned that the insectoid race from Negative Space had found a route into the material universe through Earth’s coordinates. Daisy confronted Norman Osborn about opening the passage, but his vehement denial left her confused.

• White Phoenix transformed the battlefield and battered Galactus with fiery attacks and a relentless barrage of blows.
• Galactus warned that the positioning was complete and that the invasion had begun, so Jean examined the timeline and saw green and black bugs spreading across much of the universe.
• Daisy realized the insectoid race from Negative Space had traced the material realm through Earth, and White Phoenix ordered the fighting to stop.
• White Phoenix banished Galactus’s herald, then Daisy and Jean separated from their shared form.
• Daisy accused Norman Osborn of opening the passage to Negative Space, but he denied it so forcefully that she was unsure whether he was lying.

Daisy learned that Mr. Fantastic had secretly launched the probe that triggered the crisis, while Norman Osborn had been uninvolved. After arresting Mr. Fantastic and Galactus withdrew, Daisy faced a new threat: the Annihilation Insectoid Race was about to breach the barrier between realms.

• Galactus left Earth with Stardust and Fire Lord after his reason for fighting had disappeared.
• Daisy advised Silver Surfer to return to Zenn-La and asked him to help if the insectoid race could not be stopped.

• Daisy declined Captain America's offer to join the cosmic war, sent him to help Thor in Asgard, and arranged for Captain Marvel to assess the situation in the Kree Empire.
