Chapter 320 The Invincible Planet Eater

In the vast depths of the universe, a massive shadow is silently approaching a blue planet.

This shadow exuded a terrifying aura, like an abyss ready to devour its victims.

After being attacked by Logos and reverting from the Lifebringer to the Galactus form, the Galactus returned to his old ways.

This time, his target is this retro-futuristic planet in front of him.

This blue planet is unremarkable in the grand scheme of the universe; perhaps the only thing worth mentioning is its name—Earth.

In a parallel universe on Earth, countless fireballs fell from the heavens, and a huge shadow loomed over the sky, like a hideous maw of an abyss.

No! This is a hideous maw—the maw of a planet devourer!

No one can stop the hungry planet devourer, at least not on this planet.

But there are always things that someone will do, even if they can't.

"Reed, Susan, Johnny, Ben, you have no obligation to face an enemy you cannot defeat. Do you understand? Take your equipment and get off this earth!"

"There's no way we can win. I don't understand." Johnny Stone, the Human Torch, shrugged nonchalantly, his face slightly flushed. "Whoever's hiding behind that big guy, I'll show him the power of my flames."

boom!!!

After speaking, Thunderbolt burst into flames and soared into the sky, heading towards the enormous shadow above. Against the backdrop of the fireballs falling from the sky, he resembled a warrior swimming against the current.

Johnny shook his head and smiled helplessly. The Invisible Woman, Susan Stone, also manipulated the force field, propelling herself in the direction the Human Torch had left.

Seeing this, Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards and the Thing Ben Klimt also used their respective abilities to follow.

The four are indeed the Fantastic Four, but not the Fantastic Four of this universe; they came to this universe by accident.

Subsequently, the four who settled in this universe and their patron, von Dum, were exposed to cosmic storm rays during a space experiment.

They turned misfortune into good fortune, gaining different superpowers.

Before the Fantastic Four took action, a green-robed figure had already begun to move; it was none other than Doctor Doom of this universe.

However, this stronger execution did not bring good news to Doctor Doom; it only made him despair sooner.

Whether it's the various high-tech weapons he independently developed, or the various forbidden dark magics he learned from the devil.

These attacks had no effect on the purple-skinned man with pointed heads in front of them, like a harmless breeze.

Doctor Doom finally collapsed in front of Galactus, who had never once looked at him directly.

Shortly after, four figures appeared beside Doctor Doom—the Fantastic Four. Similarly, Galactus ignored the Fantastic Four's attack.

He neither defended nor retaliated, treating it as if it were a gentle breeze.

Even if ants try their best, they still have a chance to bite a human and spit out venom (formic acid).

Doctor Doom and the Fantastic Four fought with all their might, but they could not reach Galactus.

As time went on, the planet's surface began to crack, and large chunks of rock and soil were ripped off and thrown into the gaping maw of the abyss high in the sky. Eventually, the entire planet deformed, shattered, and disintegrated.

Just then, a pitch-black rift suddenly appeared, sucking in the surrounding matter and Doctor Doom, the Fantastic Four, and their companions.

This act, akin to snatching food from a tiger's mouth, enraged the planet devourer.

His cold gaze turned toward the suddenly appearing spacetime rift, where he saw a middle-aged man with a thick beard standing helplessly on the other side.

"Stop! Strange, what are you doing?! How dare you disrupt the boundaries of space and time like this!"

The bearded middle-aged man was none other than Strange. Facing the hastily arriving King and Mordo, he pulled out a silver book and hurriedly explained, "I...I was just doing what the book said."

"What does the book say? Doesn't it mention the harm of doing this?" Wang questioned.

"No, I assure you that the part I saw didn't exist."

Upon hearing Strange's explanation, the king did not believe it. As the librarian of Kamar-Taj, he had read through almost all of Kamar-Taj's books.

"No, how could that be? Which book? Let me see it."

"This one."

Upon receiving the silver book, Wang frowned. Without even opening it, he was certain that he had never read this book before.

The Russell Book—this book didn't even exist before Kamar-Taj!

"Time magic may disrupt the spacetime structure of the universe, causing the universe to collapse or two universes to collide!"

On the other side, Mordo was still angrily rebuking Strange.

Because of the Supreme Wonder, Mordo believed that Strange had the potential to become a master of arcane arts and a powerful protector of the future universe; yet he also worried that Strange, like the Supreme Wonder, would destroy his own universe due to his obsession.

Therefore, when Strange joined Kamar-Taj, he secretly instructed the king to hide any books on time magic and told the other arcane masters not to tell Strange any knowledge about time magic.

Unexpectedly, someone still broke the rules.

Modu said angrily, wanting to see who dared to be so bold.

"Who gave you this book?!"

"Master Russell."

"Master Russell Russell," Mordo paused, though his anger still lingered on his face. "When he returns, I'll settle the score with him."

After uttering a harsh remark, Mordo ignored Strange and quickly formed hand seals, creating spells that rushed into the spacetime rift that Strange had previously opened.

As Mordo approached, he noticed that five innocent people had been drawn into the spacetime rift due to the influence of Strange's magic.

This is one of the reasons for Mordo's anger.

A moment later, with the help of Mordo's magic, five figures fell out of the dark rift one after another. Afterwards, Wang also temporarily put down the "Russell's Divine Book" and helped Mordo seal the spacetime rift.

"I'm sorry to have put you in danger, but I didn't mean to. Tony? You're Iron Man Tony Stark, weren't you with Wizard Russell?" Strange apologized in a low voice.

"You don't need to apologize. You didn't put us in danger. On the contrary, you saved us. It's just a matter of sooner or later." Doctor Doom shook his head and smiled, his smile utterly bitter.

"I saved you, but did something happen to Russell?" Strange pressed.

"Who is Russell?" Thunderbolt retorted.

Strange paused, then realized, "You don't know Russell? Could it be... you're from another universe?"

"Other universes?" Mr. Fantastic was also taken aback. He then quickly ran out of the room and looked up at the sky. He saw that the night sky was dotted with stars, with no trace of the terrifying shadow that had covered the sky.

"Have we ended up in another universe?" Mr. Fantastic was both amused and exasperated.

The four of them were not originally the native inhabitants of Earth who were devoured by the planet devourer, but rather they came from Earth in another universe.

Having lived on that Earth for a long time, they developed feelings for it. Therefore, when the planet devourer invaded, they gave up trying to escape and fought back. However, due to a series of unexpected events, they still managed to escape to another Earth.

"Hello, five guests from parallel universes." A voice rang out, it was Wang: "Let me introduce myself, I am Wang, the master of Kamar-Taj magic on Earth-404 and the powerful assistant of the Sorcerer Supreme."

"We are sorry that you ended up in this universe because of Strange. We will do our best to help you get back, but it will take some time."

"No need, we can't go back anymore. Our planet has been attacked by the planet devourer, and it's already..." the invisible woman Susan said in a low voice.

"Damn planet devourer, my condolences," Wang muttered under his breath, then comforted the invisible woman, Susan, who merely gave a polite smile.

Seeing that the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom were not in high spirits, Wang arranged accommodations for them and let them rest first.

After Mordo finished reading Russell's divine book, the king took it and read it again.

The latest novel is first published here!

This stemmed primarily from curiosity about the dissemination of magical and alternative knowledge, rather than from a desire to confirm whether Strange was lying.

Upon seeing the book's title, Wang believed Strange's story, even though the book did not explain the spell's dangers or potential consequences.

After all, while their new Supreme Sorcerer was incredibly powerful and adept at problem-solving, the origins of the problems were something they couldn't delve into.

After giving a few words of advice, the king returned Russell's divine book to Strange.

After that, the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom stayed in Kamar-Taj for the time being.

After spending a few days adjusting his mood, Mr. Fantastic Reed found Wong.

Reed vaguely remembered that the King had said the Sorcerer Supreme could send them back, which meant that the Sorcerer Supreme had mastered a stable and reliable inter-universe teleportation technology.

Reed was very interested in this, even though their original home, that retro-futuristic Earth, had been destroyed by Galactus, the Fantastic Four still had a home.

Reed would rather return to his hometown than stay in this unfamiliar world.

"So, you've already experienced a space travel event before, and now you want to return to the original universe?"

After listening to Mr. Fantastic Reed's explanation, Wang frowned slightly. "If it's the universe where Strange accidentally opened a spacetime rift, it wouldn't be difficult to send you back because there are coordinates."

"But if it were another universe with absolutely no informational features, I don't know if the Sage Supreme could do it. Maybe he could, maybe he couldn't."

“I have the coordinates,” Mr. Fantastic Reed said. “I’ve been researching how to get back to my hometown for a long time, and I’ve made some progress.”

"But, putting aside whether your coordinates are correct, the coordinates required for the portal spell are different from the coordinates you provided," Wang said with some doubt.

"It's just a different way of expressing it; a slight adjustment will do." Unlike Wang's doubts, Mr. Fantastic Reed was full of confidence. "Trust me, this problem won't be too difficult to solve."

"All right."

Doctor Doom wasn't idle these past few days; he figured out why Strange had misunderstood his and the Fantastic Four's identities during their first meeting.

He bears a striking resemblance to a character named Tony Stark from this parallel universe Earth.

Even more coincidentally, they all own a company, a set of self-developed battle suits, and are also proficient in magic.

This greatly puzzled Doctor Doom, who even suspected that this Tony Stark was his counterpart from a parallel universe, only that he had changed his name for some reason.

However, despite searching extensively on the all-powerful internet, Doctor Doom was unable to find a single piece of information to support this hypothesis.

Tony Stark, the head of Stark Industries, a renowned military and energy giant in the United States and even the world, has a transparent biography.

It clearly states that he was named Tony Stark from birth and never changed his name.

That day, after Mr. Fantastic Reed returned from the King, he led the other three to find Doctor Doom.

Although they were once enemies and opposed each other, their shared experience of fighting against the planet devourer eased their relationship considerably.

Mr. Fantastic Reed cut to the chase: "Dr. Doom, I'd like to ask you what your plans are for the future."

"Plans?" Dr. Doom shook his head. He was all alone in this parallel universe Earth, so what plans did he have?

"I asked the Sorcerer King here, and he said that the Sorcerer Supreme has a way to send me and Susan back to our original universe."

"Hmm?" Dr. Doom raised an eyebrow, glanced at Susan, and said unhappily, "Reed, you didn't need to tell me this. Where you go next has nothing to do with me."

After a pause, Dr. Doom chuckled coldly, "Besides, you don't want me to go with you, do you?"

Mr. Fantastic Reed remained silent.

Although his relationship with Dr. Doom had improved considerably, he still distrusted him. Dr. Doom's ambition to conquer the world terrified him.

Seeing this, Dr. Doom simply let out a few mocking laughs and waved for Mr. Fantastic Reed and the others to leave.

The Human Torch and the Thing were indignant, but they were still pulled away by Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman.

Dr. Doom was both right and wrong.

The Fantastic Four were worried that Dr. Doom would cause trouble in their home planet Earth, but they also couldn't bear to see him wandering alone in a strange world.

At this moment, the five of them are likely the last survivors of that retro-futuristic Earth.

Outside the real universe, Russell wasn't quite sure how much time had passed when converted to Earth-404. He only remembered that the one among Tony Stark and the other four who had rested the least had rested ten times.

After a long period of work, Tony and his team finally completed the data collection in the supercyclone.

Next, they will pass through the Super Cyclone to reach the final boundary of the Marvel Universe: Neutral Space.

Neutral space differs from hypervortex, which contains numerous real universes and extradimensional dimensions, while neutral space is almost entirely empty.

The only things that exist are all sorts of evil gods.

So Russell, who had been slacking off for a long time, had to start working and fulfill his duties as a security guard and bodyguard.
