"Give me... that child!!!"
At Galactus's call, the entire underground space and all its creations began responding to his will.
The world trembled.
Endless cosmic energy erupted with a thunderous roar!
Inside the mechanical megastructure, countless golden pipes connected to every corner of the planet suddenly blazed at maximum brightness. Then, vast sections of the structure twisted and shattered under the instant surge of energy.
But Galactus no longer cared about any of that.
Even Susan nearby, along with the child he had just demanded, temporarily vanished from his sight.
Hunger.
Endless hunger.
A hunger beyond the comprehension of any normal living being was devouring what remained of his sanity!
He had just swallowed an entire continent.
Yet he was even hungrier.
He had drained the energy within the mantle.
Yet he was still hungry.
Countless substances were being converted into cosmic energy and pouring into his body, but that power was like water falling into a bottomless abyss, vanishing without a trace!
On the planet's surface.
Rumble—!!!
An entire continental plate was torn directly from the crust.
Rock strata dozens of kilometers thick slowly rose into space, mixed with mountain ranges, dried-up riverbeds, and countless lifeless remains.
Then—
Shattered.
Hundreds of millions of tons of matter disintegrated simultaneously within violet-red energy, breaking down from massive rock layers into a torrent of fundamental particles before being frantically siphoned away by the enormous mechanical device piercing through the planet!
"He can't hear us anymore!"
Reed raised an arm against the chaotic storm blasting toward them and shouted.
Miles stared fixedly at Galactus.
What did those words he just said mean?
*This is his end... I shouldn't have let him see it... What was Galactus referring to? The final corpse in that illusion? But that wasn't even my memory to begin
