"Well, at least this old man helped me clear the path," Shin said, a little surprised, not expecting the Zerg Emperor to possess such cunning intelligence.
He glanced at the Earth's superheroes; although they seemed to be in dire straits, Shin estimated they could hold on for another half an hour.
Therefore, Shin decided to rescue the Planet Eater first.
With a flash, Shin transformed into a streak of light and surged towards the central Zerg mothership.
In fact, the mothership had long since detected the strong energy signature from Shin, alarms blared, and the protective shield had already been activated.
However, Shin was pushing his super speed and super strength to their limits at this moment.
Even though the mothership's defenses were no weaker than the combined energy shields of a hundred satellite-class Space Battleship, they only managed to intercept Shin for a brief moment.
Shin, now invigorated and slightly stronger due to his evolution, was a force to be reckoned with.
This mothership, perhaps by its very nature, wasn't designed for combat but rather resembled an interstellar aircraft carrier, specifically for troop transport.
Thus, apart from some defensive weapons, the mothership lacked any major offensive weapons like main cannons.
Perhaps the difficulty of manufacturing main cannons for this level of spacecraft was simply too great.
In any case, after spending a few seconds penetrating the energy shield, Shin directly crashed into the spaceship, heading towards the area where the Planet Eater was being modified.
A hundred-kilometer-thick energy shield only delayed Shin for a few seconds.
A star-sized spaceship couldn't hold Shin back for much longer; almost in the next second, Shin appeared before the Planet Eater, who had been converted into an energy converter.
At this moment, the two hundred Annihilation Zerg Emperor's guards hadn't returned to the prison yet! Hank Pym had just been knocked down, and these guys had no time to disguise themselves.
Without a word, Shin shot terrifying lasers from his eyes, directly severing all the cables and pipes connecting to the Planet Eater.
The Planet Eater, suspended in mid-air, crashed to the ground with a thud, swaying twice, but remained motionless.
Shin knew that Galactus was not dead yet; he never truly had the concept of death.
He had simply lost too much energy, causing him to fall into a deep sleep, unable to even move.
Seeing Shin suddenly burst in, the Zerg Emperor's guards charged without a word.
Although these individuals were not weak in combat and had absorbed a good amount of the Planet Eater's energy, they were still miles behind Shin.
A casual punch pulverized a brown alien.
A sweep of his heat vision cut seven or eight aliens in half.
A cold breath froze three to five aliens.
Facing Shin, these aliens were simply annihilated upon contact.
With every move, he quickly struck fear into their hearts.
Leaving over a hundred corpses, the remaining Negative Zone aliens scrambled away in a panic.
The fact that these aliens could abandon their own race and defect to the Zerg in a life-or-death crisis suggested that their moral integrity was likely not very high.
Although they feared the Zerg Emperor's future retribution, defying the Zerg Emperor meant a potential death later, whereas standing in front of Shin now meant certain death.
They naturally knew how to choose.
Shin pulled up the battered Old Pym, who was still wearing a high-tech energy-inhibiting wristband.
A flash of light from Shin's eyes instantly cut through the energy-inhibiting wristband.
Old Pym, even if only nominally, was a herald of Galactus, albeit a pitifully weak one.
However, he still possessed the common traits of Galactus's heralds, such as super-fast recovery and superhuman physique.
With the flow of energy, his injuries quickly healed.
Shin didn't count on Old Pym's combat strength.
"Do you have a way to revive the Planet Eater?" he asked.
Currently, the Planet Eater was essentially unconscious, and Shin wasn't sure how to revive him.
Such a massive Planet Eater couldn't possibly need CPR or a defibrillator, could it?
If it were someone like Mister Fantastic or Doctor Doom, they might be able to figure out a way to revive the Planet Eater after some research.
Shin, however, lacked that ability.
Hank Pym was also a top-tier scientist.
He glanced at the Planet Eater's body lying on the ground and sighed, "It's simple.
Just inject a surge of primordial cosmic energy, and it can be reactivated."
Shin frowned slightly.
Although the chakra in his body also possessed the properties of primordial cosmic energy, it had been completely transformed and probably wouldn't meet the Planet Eater's requirements.
Otherwise, as long as he didn't over-refine his chakra at once, it wouldn't harm his body and would automatically recover.
He wouldn't mind giving the Planet Eater a boost of energy.
If his own energy wouldn't work, then he would probably have to use Hank Pym's.
However, Hank Pym hadn't absorbed too much primordial cosmic energy; if he truly wanted to revive the Planet Eater, he would likely have to revert to being an ordinary human.
Reverting to an ordinary human wouldn't be a problem.
Old Man Hank Pym probably wouldn't care.
For a scientist of his caliber, if he truly wanted to make some modifications to himself, eternal life might be out of reach, but living for another hundred or eighty years would be as easy as playing a game.
But the key was that this was an alien battlefield!
An ordinary person here could easily die from encountering a Zerg or being hit by an energy wave.
Hank Pym's Ant-Man suit was currently malfunctioning, and Shin truly didn't think he could survive and return after giving up his energy.
However, the old man didn't hesitate in the slightest.
After saying those words, he immediately went above the Planet Eater and quickly gathered all his primordial cosmic energy, injecting it into the Planet Eater's body.
After this primordial cosmic energy was transmitted into the Planet Eater's body, a glow of energy flashed from the center of the Planet Eater, flowing throughout his entire body.
Subsequently, this gigantic fellow awakened.
Shin greatly admired Hank Pym's attitude towards power; he could discard it without a second thought, as if it were nothing.
If it were him, he definitely couldn't do that.
On the contrary, throughout his many traversals of worlds, Shin's primary goal had always been to obtain stronger power.
He stretched out his hand, and a black mist surged forth, directly drawing Old Pym, who had almost fallen from the sky, into the dark dimension.
At least it was much safer in there than outside.
