"Yes, Christmas is almost here again."

Mrs. Mary sighed, then patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, tonight's dinner will be very sumptuous!"

……

Not long after that.

The city outside was gradually enveloped in night.

Inside, under bright lights, the dining table was laden with steaming hot food, including roast chicken, steak, and sausages.

George and Mary, along with May and Peter's family, took their seats.

However, after the four of them sat down, they discovered that there would always be two empty seats no matter what.

The four people faced a table full of delicious food, but suddenly fell silent.

Mrs. Mary said with an embarrassed look, "I'm getting old and forgetful. I'll take it back now."

May stopped her with a smile, saying, "No need. Mary, really, just leave it like this. It will put our minds at ease."

“I remember, when Cousin Gwen and Brother Xinian were here, this place was always very lively.”

Peter Parker said wistfully, somewhat lost in thought, "Two years have passed. I wonder how they are now."

His words seemed to unlock the longing in the hearts of everyone present. No matter how they tried to steer the conversation around him, they couldn't avoid talking about those two.

Officer George broke his silence and muttered under his breath, "That brat, he better take good care of Gwen."

"Don't worry, I trust Xinian."

Mrs. Mary smiled slightly and gently placed one hand on the back of her husband's hand.

Over the past two years, they have had many more gray hairs on their heads.

After no longer deliberately avoiding talking about the two who had left this world, all four of them felt much better.

Then, no longer caring about the two empty chairs, they began to enjoy their sumptuous dinner with great satisfaction.

However, we were only halfway through dinner.

Officer George's cell phone rang urgently in his pocket at an inopportune moment.

"What did you say?!"

The call connected. Hearing the report from his subordinate on the other end of the line, Officer George's face immediately turned serious: "I understand, I'll be right there!"

Peter Parker paused in his dinner, his keen hearing allowing him to hear the report coming from the other end of the phone.

A bizarre incident has occurred on the next street: unidentified tentacle creatures are attacking people on the street.

……

at the same time.

Justice League headquarters.

In the large conference hall, there sat a tall man in dark bat-style armor, a man in a cape wearing a Superman bodysuit with the S family totem, a black man whose body was mostly mechanized, a man in a suit of armor with a red lightning bolt symbol, and an alien with a burly body and green skin.

Four young men dressed in different bat-themed uniforms were fully armed and guarding the entrance to the main hall of the conference room.

Superman Clark calmly and forcefully asked, "Bruce, why did you summon us here so urgently tonight?"

Batman Bruce looked at Cyborg seriously: "Cyborg, you found this out, why don't you tell them?"

"it is good."

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Cyborg immediately stood up from his chair, and his crimson electronic eye projected a holographic image onto the conference table.

It was a blue, round planet model.

"Look everyone, this is Earth."

Steelbone said in a deep voice, "We humans have always yearned for the mysterious and wondrous starry sky, but very few people have turned their gaze to the Earth's underground."

"It's important to know that the distance from the Earth's surface to its core is 6371 km, while the maximum observation limit for humans is only 12 km, which is less than 0.2% of the Earth's radius!"

The Flash shrugged: "So? Cyborg, you're not going to give us a geography lesson tonight, are you?"

"Several years ago, even with the most advanced technology on Earth, it was impossible to detect the detailed conditions beneath the Earth's crust."

Cyborg continued, "Until recently, I often felt irregular movements in the Earth's crust, so I used the Mother Box's Apocalyptic technology to conduct a detailed investigation of the Earth's interior."

He paused, cold sweat trickling down half of his dark face, and said in a deep voice, "Then, I glimpsed something extremely terrifying hidden deep within the Earth, perhaps one of the ultimate truths of the world today!"

This has terrified Cyborg and put Batman on high alert.

Realizing that something was amiss, the others asked in unison, "Cyborg, what exactly did you discover?"

"Look, this is a model of the Earth's interior that I obtained through scanning."

As Steelbone spoke, the released 3D projection of the Earth began to reveal more details.

Everything was normal from the Earth's crust, upper and lower mantle, all the way to the outer core. But when the details revealed a model of the Earth's deepest core, the Justice League members on the scene were stunned.

The Flash's eyes widened in astonishment: "What is that thing inside the core that looks like a human embryo?"

The Martian hunter said, "It's clearly a creature, an unimaginably large embryo!"

Superman Clark raised an eyebrow: "That's huge, probably hundreds of kilometers in size."

Steelbone smiled wryly, "This is still while it's absorbing energy from Earth's organisms to incubate. Once it hatches and grows, its normal size might be larger than a planet!"

Chapter 578, Crisis of the Celestial Group, hope Nian's Backup Plan

"This……"

Realizing something, the four Robins at the entrance of the main conference hall gasped.

Such a massive creature means that once it hatches, the Earth will be destroyed!

Looking at the 3D projection model, The Flash asked incredulously, "Such a large biological embryo. How was it placed inside the Earth's core in the first place?"

“That’s the truly terrifying part,” Cyborg replied. “Perhaps, it can only be placed inside at the moment a planet is formed.”

Martian Hunter nodded in agreement: "This is really troublesome."

Superman Clark suddenly said, "I remember that before Xinian left this universe, he said to be careful of the Celestials, because they created this world."

The Flash asked blankly, "You mean, this thing is the Celestials?"

Batman's eyes were dark and deep as he spoke: "What kind of creature it is is no longer important. What's important is that it's alive and about to hatch inside the Earth!"

"Can we kill it before it hatches?" Superman asked directly.

Eliminating the opponent is often the simplest, most brutal, and most effective feasible method.

Steelbone shook his head and said, "It's too deep. Even if we could get there, it would be too late. Based on my observations and calculations, that creature will hatch tomorrow!"

"There's less than half a day left tomorrow, we don't have much time left." Batman sighed, but he didn't give up. He placed his hands on the table and addressed the crowd, "No matter what, let's be fully prepared for what's to come!"

……

Meanwhile, in Washington.

Several police cars with sirens blaring sped past on the main road next to the pedestrian street. On the opposite side of the street, on a 20-meter-tall building, Spider-Man, wearing a new type of Spider-Man suit made of nano-metal, was lying there.

Spider-Man's pupils dilated as he scanned the pedestrian street below, where many pedestrians still wore expressions of lingering fear.

There were large amounts of bloodstains on the pedestrian street, and the surrounding area had been cordoned off.

"Did it leave through the sewers of the pedestrian street...?"

Spider-Man hesitated for a moment, then prepared to jump down and enter the sewer through a manhole cover.

But at that moment, his spider senses issued a strong warning, causing his hair to stand on end!

Behind you!

Spider-Man quickly turned around.

But then, a Martian portal appeared to spin and coalesce on the rooftop behind them, from which emerged a strange, middle-aged gentleman with a blue cloak.

Spider-Man breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Strange, it's you."

"What do you think it is?" Doctor Strange glanced at him expressionlessly.

Spider-Man gestured wildly as he described, "Have you noticed? A grayish-black monster, like a wolf, but five or six times bigger, covered in tentacles."

“I see. But those are just small fry. Come with me.”

Doctor Strange said this as he stepped into the portal.

Spider-Man followed him in with practiced ease.

On the other side of the portal is the main hall on the first floor of the New York Temple.

"Have you heard of the Celestials?" Doctor Strange asked, getting straight to the point.

Spider-Man blinked and asked curiously, "The Celestials, what are those?"

“Alright.” Doctor Strange shrugged. “I thought the second Sorcerer Supreme, Xi Nian, would have mentioned it to you before.”

He didn't forget to take a jab at Spider-Man: "But thinking about it, you were just a kid back then. Of course, even now, two years later, you're still just a slightly more mature kid."

Spider-Man's face fell.

Even today, despite his continuous progress, he has never been able to reach the level of superhero status that Spider-Woman initially received.

Doctor Strange continued, "As instructed by the Second Sorcerer Supreme, I have spent the last two years exploring the mysteries of the universe, trying to trace the secrets of the Celestials."

"You found it?" Spider-Man asked, somewhat cooperatively.

"Of course, I'm not like you."

Doctor Strange raised his hands, and the ceiling of the main hall on the first floor of the temple instantly transformed into a dark and desolate cosmic starry sky!

Then, a gigantic phantom, of unknown size, appeared in this cosmic starry sky.

Spider-Man's eyes widened as he watched the giant phantom clasp its hands together and conjure a dazzling, radiant planet out of thin air.

Doctor Strange said in a deep voice, "They are the original creators of many civilizations, including the sun and life-bearing planets. It can be said that Earth was also created by them."

"And they created these planetary civilizations only to develop their own race."

"Because every new member of the Celestials group needs to be implanted as a seed into a life-bearing planet, constantly absorbing the energy of the planet's creatures, in order to truly hatch."
