Superman Marvel Adventures

"Oh, so that's how teleportation is used. I had no idea," Logan said, looking completely bewildered.

"What's wrong with Star-Lord? Hasn't he gotten up yet?" Adam checked the time and said, "Should we go check on him? Maybe he hasn't found his way."

“No need for that, Master. I’ve already sent a robot to serve him. If he wakes up, he’ll be brought here,” Athena said immediately.

Chapter 341 A Daughter Suddenly Appears

A week later, the venue was still inside the watchtower.

Star-Lord has left the Watchtower to begin his journey; as he put it, he's finally arrived on Earth and needs to explore it thoroughly. Since Adam and the others have confirmed that Star-Lord harbors no ill will towards Earth and is very likely a human, they haven't sent anyone to monitor him.

These past few days, Christine has been dealing with the mess left behind after her disappearance a month ago. As for Adam himself, he stayed in the watchtower, trying to hatch Galactus's daughter. Heh, perhaps Galactus would be furious if he said that.

On this day, Adam was still in his laboratory. He walked into an embryo placed in a culture chamber. This embryo was no longer the size of a lighter. It had grown to the size of a regular suitcase and had consumed all the energy blocks left by Adam's father. Well, it should be said that it had absorbed them all.

“What a strange embryo.” Adam looked at the egg-shaped embryo that was already able to make a heartbeat and said, “It has such a strong ability to replicate.”

Adam recalled the day he first started cultivating the embryo. There was a flowerpot next to the cultivation chamber. When Adam provided energy to the embryo, he found that the embryo was starting to resemble a plant. Over the next few days, Adam conducted several experiments and discovered that if other organisms or plants were placed next to the embryo during cultivation, the embryo would evolve in that direction and might eventually become that species.

Of course, it's unlikely that Adam would raise Galactus's daughter into any form other than human. Otherwise, Galactus might actually swallow the Earth, and Adam doesn't want to see that day. Moreover, he has another idea in mind: to raise Janata into the guardian of this world. After all, as Galactus's daughter, her future is unpredictable.

The only problem is the hunger that Galactus mentioned to Adam. It's a truly terrifying feeling. Galactus said that at that time, he was almost completely dominated by hunger and would undoubtedly devour anything with energy in his sight. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare enough energy in advance when raising Galactus.

This seems to be one of the reasons why Galactus entrusted his daughter to her. That's right, it's the Cosmic Cube with infinite energy. Although Galactus could only consume it for a few meals, the energy of the Cosmic Cube was just the right amount of food for the newly born Galactus.

Of course, there is a premise to this whole thing: whether Adam is willing to give the Cosmic Cube to the unborn Janata as nourishment for her.

"Master, haven't you told Christine about this yet?" At this moment, Athena suddenly walked in, saw the embryo that had grown to a certain size, and asked Adam in confusion.

"Not yet, I really don't know how to tell her." Adam shrugged and said, "What happened?"

“The incubation chamber has started frantically absorbing the energy of the entire watchtower, so I came to remind you, even though I’ve already activated the backup arc reactor,” Athena explained. “I wonder if she’s about to be born?”

"Really? This information doesn't seem to have changed at all." Adam glanced at the unchanging instrument in front of him and sighed, "Seriously, this is really unscientific."

“The things we’ve been dealing with lately seem to have nothing to do with science,” Athena said with a slight smile.

“You’re right, but it seems this little guy isn’t full yet. The backup power has been activated.” As he spoke, the entire watchtower suddenly flickered between light and dark, and Adam immediately noticed the problem.

"Ah, she has absorbed all the energy in the entire watchtower, why hasn't anything changed?" Athena asked, frowning.

“I don’t know either.” Adam shrugged and said, “Athena, you stay here and look at this embryo. I’ll go get the Cosmic Cube.”

"Ah, Master, do you mean you want her to absorb the energy of the Cosmic Cube?" Athena exclaimed.

"Hmm, the energy of the Cosmic Cube is pure energy, I think it should be able to hatch her." After Adam finished speaking, he moved his feet and disappeared.

A moment later, Adam brought the box containing the Cosmic Cube into the laboratory. Because he was worried that letting her absorb the energy directly would be too much for her, he placed the Cosmic Cube on the energy conversion and storage device made by his father. It was at that moment that the energy system of the entire watchtower returned to normal.

"Looks like I can finally relax now, no more worrying about turning into cosmic junk," Adam joked.

“Yes, but I always feel that it’s a complete waste for Master to continue using those instruments. They can’t reveal anything at all.” Athena pointed to the machine over there and said, “This thing is completely unscientific.”

"Hehe, I think I've heard you mention this several times today. It seems you're also troubled by this kind of thing," Adam asked with a smile.

“After all, I am a product of science, right?” Athena shrugged and said, “It always makes me uncomfortable when I encounter things like this.”

"Um, aren't you studying magic?" Adam asked curiously.

“Magic can be proven by science, but what we are seeing cannot be proven by science,” Athena said, shaking her head.

"Perhaps it's simply because our technological capabilities are insufficient," Adam said after hearing this. "Knowledge is a boundless ocean, and what we can see now is only a small part of it."

"Perhaps." Athena finished speaking and glanced at the unchanging embryo, then said, "By the way, Master, it's almost noon. Would you like something to eat? I can help you order."

"Are you already addicted?" Adam asked, speechless.

"What is that, Master?" Athena scolded playfully.

"Okay, the same as usual."

Adam couldn't refuse such a thing either. Ever since Tony used teleportation to order a table of Chinese food, the people in the watchtower have become increasingly lazy. If they want to eat any signature dishes from other countries, they almost always contact the restaurants in those countries directly and then teleport over. This was even reported by the media at the time.

Time passed slowly, and the embryo absorbed the energy of the Cosmic Cube for a full eight hours. Finally, the embryo suddenly began to beat like a heart, and the Cosmic Cube stopped supplying energy. Adam put it back into the suitcase.

"It seems she's going to be born today," Athena said immediately upon seeing this.

“It seems that’s the case,” Adam nodded slightly, then said with a headache, “But the problem remains: how do I explain this to Christine? After all, I can’t explain it to her clearly.”

"Ah, why? Why can't Master explain the situation to Christine?" Athena asked, somewhat puzzled.

“You know that the person in the bedroom is from another universe, right?” Adam smiled slightly and said, “When I first started writing your main program, I also wrote some of my thoughts into it. That’s why you haven’t left me even though you’ve become a completely independent life form. Because the bond between you and me is unbreakable.”

"Master, why the sudden sentimentality?" Athena blushed slightly and turned around, saying, "Wouldn't it be better to just tell me the answer directly?"

"Hehe, you're being a little smug, Athena." Adam laughed and then said, "I heard it from Galactus, that guy who devours planets. He's already one of the top people in this universe, so some people don't want Galactus to have his own offspring. After all, Galactus's bizarre evolutionary method is too terrifying. If left unchecked, one day even the entire universe might be devoured by the two of them."

"Could it be that you, Master, are capable of protecting the daughter of the Planet Eater?" Athena asked.

“That’s right. According to Uncle Galactus, I seem to have a mysterious aura that shields me from the prying eyes of the supreme beings in this universe. Although I don’t know how Uncle Galactus knows this, according to him, as long as his daughter stays by my side before reaching her growth value, and as long as no one else besides me knows her true identity, then those supreme beings will not be able to discover Uncle Galactus’s daughter.” Adam explained, “As for why you can know all this, it’s because you exist because of me, so you can’t be considered a life form in this universe.”

Chapter 342 Daughter Ganata

In the office of the general manager of Dawn Pictures in the Dawn Group building in Manhattan, New York City, Christine had just finished her work. She stretched, but regretted getting involved with Dawn Pictures. Now she hadn't had a moment's rest, and the accumulated workload of the past month had almost exhausted her. She hadn't been home in ages.

"Ah, finally finished." Christine tossed aside the last signed document and said, "I'm exhausted. But it's strange, I didn't receive a call from Adam today."

Christine decided to go home a little earlier today. She hadn't seen Adam for a week, so she pressed the call button in front of her and summoned her secretary.

"Manager, you wanted to see me?" The secretary was dressed in a smart office suit, but her eyes were filled with admiration for Christine.

"Yes, I've finished all the work for the past few days. All the necessary signatures have been obtained." Christine pointed to the team's documents over there and said, "Take these and process them. I'm heading back now. Remember to call me if you need anything."

Christine's superhero identity has not been exposed, so she still has to come to work every day. Of course, as the girlfriend of the head of the company and the company's CEO, Christine can also choose when to start and finish get off work, since no one cares about her.

After arranging things, Christine left the company immediately, contacting Athena while driving.

“Hey, Athena, what are you doing?” Christine asked.

"Nothing, what's wrong?" Athena glanced at the little girl beside her and then asked, "Did something happen?"

“I tried to contact you before, but I couldn’t get through,” Christine asked. “Isn’t this a rare occurrence?”

"Oh, the one you're talking about? It's because there's a problem with the watchtower's energy system, and we're fixing it now," Athena said, pushing away the little girl who was clinging to her leg.

"Hey, what's that sound coming from over there?" Christine vaguely heard what sounded like a little girl's voice and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, that's Master watching cartoons." Athena frowned her cute eyebrows as she looked at her master's mischievous grin.

"Okay, that's settled then. I'll be there soon." Christine still felt there was something wrong over there, so she decided to go to the watchtower as soon as she got home with the car.

Inside the watchtower, in the Hall of Justice

Adam looked on with amusement at the little girl, who looked about four or five years old, hanging on Athena's lap. She had long brown hair and skin as white as jade. Apart from a round gem on her chest that emitted a milky white light, she was no different from an ordinary human little girl.

And this is Galactus, the daughter of Galactus, who was just born in Adam's laboratory. She was born in the appearance of a human child of three or four years old. What surprised Adam and Athena was that she was not naked when she was born, but was wearing strange clothes that looked like Galactus's. However, after looking at the clothes on Athena and Adam, as if he knew it from birth, he hid his strange purple outfit and changed into clothes of the same type as Athena's.

Moreover, the little girl called Adam "Dad" as soon as she saw him and Athena "Mom" as soon as she saw her. Especially because Athena is a pure energy being, the little girl clung to her and wouldn't let go no matter what she was told.

"It seems she really likes you," Adam said with a smile.

"She likes me? I think it's the energy she likes." Athena picked up the little girl and handed her directly to Adam, saying, "Master, you should still hold your doll. I need to hide."

Adam picked up the squirming little girl and said, "This is your daughter. Perhaps she's just hungry."

"No, the energy in my body isn't palatable." Athena immediately waved her hand and said, "By the way, judging from Christine's words, she seems to be coming soon. Hmm, you should think about how to explain it to her."

"Well, let's just say it like that." Adam shrugged and said, "I'll just tell her, this is your and my child, isn't it, Gianna?"

“Yes, I am my father and mother’s daughter.” Janata nodded, looking proud.

"Look, even our daughter has admitted it," Adam laughed and said.

"You really are something else. Let's see how you explain this later." Athena, annoyed by Adam's teasing, turned and disappeared.

Adam sighed and said to the smiling little girl in his arms, "Ganata, tell me, how am I supposed to explain this to Christine?"

"Explanation? What's that? Can you eat it?" Janata asked cutely.

Although Janata was Galactus's daughter, she was only a few hours old and knew nothing beyond simple conversations. However, Adam was just grumbling, so he didn't expect Janata to answer him.

At this moment, Christine had arrived at the watchtower. As soon as she reached the vicinity of the Hall of Justice, she heard a clear laugh. Puzzled, she quickly went inside and found Adam playing with a little girl who looked to be three or four years old. The clear laugh was coming from the little girl in front of her.

Christine also loves children, and three- or four-year-old girls are just the cutest age, so she took a liking to the little girl at first sight. She walked over with a smile and patted the little girl's head.

"Whose child is this?" Christine asked with a smile.

“My daughter,” Adam said, looking at Janata.

"What?" Christine asked in surprise, "Your daughter?"

Adam shrugged and said, "Come to Ganata and tell this lady, who am I to you?"

“Baby~~ You are my Baby,” Janata said, her bright eyes sparkling. “Why do you have to ask me so many times?”

Adam shrugged and said, “Look, dear, she’s my daughter, and her name is Janata.”

Christine frowned slightly. Although she believed that Adam would not betray her, and did not want to believe that Adam would betray her, she was still a little angry. After all, when facing Adam, she was no longer the majestic Sun Goddess, nor the Oscar Queen, nor the domineering CEO in front of her company employees. In front of Adam, she was just a little woman.

Adam immediately realized that his joke had gone too far, so he quickly said, "Okay, I was just kidding, honey, things are a little unusual."

After Adam finished speaking, he called Athena over. Upon seeing her, Ganata immediately cried out "Mama!" and clung to Athena again, causing Christine to frown. Adam gestured for Athena to take Ganata away, while he himself pondered how to explain the situation to Christine.

Christine watched Athena leave with the child and asked, "What's so special about it?"

“Darling, do you believe me?” Adam asked earnestly.

After seeing this, Christine asked, "Of course I believe you. What happened?"

“I’m sorry, Christine, I really can’t say about this.” Adam shook his head slightly and said, “If you trust me, please don’t ask anymore. Just treat Janata as our child. I’ll tell you about her origins when I have the chance.”

After listening, Christine paused slightly and said, "Okay, I believe you."

When Adam saw this, he gently hugged her and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go. It's been so long since I've seen you. Let's go home first."

Christine shared the same sentiment and nodded slightly, saying, "Alright, you haven't been back for a week. It's time to go back. Staying in the watchtower all the time isn't good. There's been a rumor lately that you've started to distance yourself from ordinary life, and I'm actually a little worried about that too."

Adam replied, "That's true. I haven't been able to go back lately because of some things. It's time to go back and tell some people that I'm still on Earth."

“So, what about Janata? Should we take her back too?” Christine asked. “I actually really like children.”

“How are we going to explain her to those media outlets? You know how they are; they can make up anything.” Adam shook his head and said, “I think we should let Athena stay with her for now. After all, Ganata likes her very much.”
