"Big guy, are you awake?" Shin asked, looking at the Planet Eater who had gotten up.
The Planet Eater shook his head, then looked at Shin: "Where did you send my herald?"
Shin was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected this Planet Eater to be quite sentimental. After all, Hank Pym wasn't a true herald of Galactus. The reason he was willing to save Galactus was simply for the greater good. It clearly had nothing to do with any friendship with Galactus. In fact, it seemed they had no friendship at all, did they?
"Don't worry, Dr. Hank Pym is in my personal space. I guarantee he's much safer there than outside."
Shin said, and the Planet Eater stopped asking. He turned his head and looked around, then whispered, "My other heralds have also been captured. Give me some time. I'll summon them."
Although he had only just regained a bit of mobility, and his combat power was probably inferior to even his daughter and the other heralds, as a cosmic entity, he would always possess a certain level of cosmic authority. Therefore, many of his abilities had extremely high priority and were almost unrestricted.
For example, using spatial power to summon his subordinates within this Zerg mothership was something others couldn't do at all, but for these cosmic entities, it was not a difficult task.
With a wave of his hand, a thin mist of light appeared in the Planet Eater's hand. The mist then condensed into a female humanoid figure composed purely of energy particles.
This was Stardust, the strongest of the Planet Eater's heralds. Her life form clearly showed that such a pure energy being was very close to the life form of a cosmic god.
Stardust was not only the most powerful herald of the Planet Eater but also the most loyal. At least, she was far superior to the other heralds in the comics who often resigned, went on strike, or directly fought with the Planet Eater.
"My Lord, it's wonderful that you are unharmed!"
Stardust's entire body had a slightly misty feeling. Shin, using his super senses, could confirm that this wasn't her natural state, but rather that Stardust's condition wasn't very good either.
It was clear, even with common sense, that if the Planet Eater had been captured, her situation as a herald couldn't be much better.
As for the Planet Eater's last remaining herald, Tyrant, he didn't appear at all. It was unclear if he was dead or simply unwilling to answer the Planet Eater's summons.
Shin remembered that the Tyrant herald seemed to be the most disobedient of the Planet Eater's subordinates, always wanting to go solo. Although he was the weakest in strength, he caused the most trouble.
In this situation, it was possible that he was either dead or hadn't responded to the summons. However, the Planet Eater didn't seem to care. His most important task now was to quickly escape the clutches of the Zerg.
Although summoning Stardust seemed effortless, in reality, most of the power for this summon came from Stardust herself; he merely provided the authority.
He now lacked sufficient energy in his body, even losing the ability for spatial teleportation. After all, as a giant at least 800 meters tall, the energy required for his teleportation would undoubtedly be far greater than for a normal person. Otherwise, why would he still be here?
Although Galactus had the arrogance of a cosmic deity, he wasn't a fool. Considering that the Shi'ar Empire could force him to retreat with anti-matter bombs, it was clear that this guy could also bend when necessary.
"Very good, my heralds, this is not the time for words." Galactus boomed, "I have already sensed the leader of those bugs from the Negative Zone; he is heading here! Prepare for battle!"
Of course. The moment Shin broke into the mothership, the Zerg Emperor had already sensed it. Then, once Shin released Galactus from his restraints, the Zerg Emperor immediately turned and rushed towards the Planet Eater's location, approaching very quickly.
Despite all that had happened, Shin had only been inside for two or three minutes. If it had been someone slightly weaker, they would probably still be entangled with the Zerg Emperor's guards right now.
With a loud boom, the Zerg Emperor crashed through a passage and appeared directly in front of them.
"You actually escaped!" Seeing Galactus free, the Zerg Emperor spoke coldly, emitting a series of insect-like sounds. The eerie mental fluctuations made everyone understand what he was saying. "However, it's impossible for you to escape from here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Zerg Emperor slightly raised a hand, and several huge spatial portals opened around him. Countless powerful Zerg creatures poured out like a torrent, attacking furiously.
This was in the heart of the Zerg's lair. The spatial restriction abilities certainly couldn't restrict the Zerg Emperor's own abilities; instead, they would be greatly enhanced. And in a cosmic fortress the size of a star, how many powerful Zerg creatures were there?
They were simply boundless! Seeing this scene, both Galactus and Stardust showed grave expressions.
Shin, without a word, swept a blast of heat vision across, clashing with the energy attacks thrown by the Zerg. Shin's heat vision was powerful, but the combined energy impact from billions of top-tier Zerg was absolutely not weak. The two energy waves briefly confronted each other in the middle, then the light grew increasingly dazzling.
With a thunderous boom, a terrifying explosion instantly occurred, directly blasting through this deck of the cosmic battleship and blowing open several compartments. In the star-sized cosmic battleship, a hole about the size of New York State was blown open.
This caused no small damage to the entire cosmic battleship. Fortunately, the Zerg's battleship followed the rough and crude style of the Chitauri, and it seemed to incorporate some biological technology. Therefore, it only had some difficulty operating, but no major problems occurred.
At this time, the superheroes from Earth had also arrived. After the Zerg Emperor hastily retreated, without his psychic power as the main control, a large group of Zerg immediately fell into chaos under Professor X's mental attacks. Coupled with the release of such a powerful combat force as Galacta, these guys were quickly dealt with.
A group of people had just chased a few steps towards where the Zerg Emperor retreated when they were caught in the massive explosion. Fortunately, they were only slightly affected, and all the superheroes who came this time were top-tier in combat power. Even Professor X could create a telekinetic shield for himself, so in the end, they were only covered in dust and suffered no casualties.
