Their first stop back in the Marvel world was the space just outside the Marvel universe where they had first encountered Thanos.
Here, they saw the true forms of all the abstract entities gathered: the Living Tribunal, Eternity, Infinity, Master Order, Lord Chaos, and others.
Eternity, seeing Galactus, slowly inquired, "Galan, we could not sense your presence within the cosmos earlier. Where did you go?"
Hearing Eternity's question, Galactus replied calmly, "I merely accompanied the Supreme Sovereign on a brief journey elsewhere."
As he spoke, Galactus slightly stepped aside, revealing OAA behind him.
Upon seeing OAA, the Living Tribunal and the others instantly bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Most Exalted Sovereign."
OAA waved a hand, indicating such formality was unnecessary.
"Alright. Let me introduce you. This young man beside me is named Yuki."
"From now on, when you encounter him, you are to show him even greater respect than you show me. Is that understood?"
OAA introduced Yuki to the abstract beings and instructed them to accord him the highest level of respect.
Hearing this, the Living Tribunal and the others exchanged glances but ultimately nodded in agreement. If OAA decreed it, they would obey, though many questions remained in their minds.
Yuki could tell OAA was showing goodwill, which he gladly accepted.
"Greetings, respected Mr. Yuki."
The Living Tribunal and the others approached to greet him.
Yuki acknowledged them briefly, then prepared to return with Galacta to Earth-616, the primary universe.
At that moment, Eternity and the others finally noticed Galacta's presence.
"Little Galacta, I didn't expect you to be here too," Eternity said, somewhat surprised.
"Uncle Eternity, I've been here the whole time! You just didn't notice!" Galacta huffed, expressing her displeasure at being overlooked.
"Ah... my apologies, little Galacta. Your uncle must have missed you earlier," Eternity replied awkwardly.
Eternity and Galactus shared a bond both as brothers and as cosmic guardians. Therefore, Galactus's daughter, Galacta, was naturally seen as Eternity's niece.
"Alright, I know you cosmic entities have to stay focused on maintaining the universe's operations."
"I won't disturb you any further!"
Galacta pursed her lips, then took Yuki's hand.
"I'll go back with Mr. Yuki first. You all can chat slowly!"
Yuki nodded, snapped his fingers, and vanished from the spot.
The Living Tribunal watched them leave, then turned its gaze to OAA.
"Supreme Sovereign, who exactly is this Mr. Yuki?"
"Why is it that I cannot see through anything about him?"
Now that Yuki had left, the Living Tribunal voiced the questions on everyone's mind.
Hearing this, OAA wore a serene smile.
"Of course you cannot see through him. Even I cannot. Do you think it's possible for you?"
Hiss—!
OAA's words made the abstract entities collectively draw a sharp breath in shock.
A being even their Supreme Sovereign could not see through... how profound must his existence be? A level above their Supreme Sovereign? It was almost unimaginable!
"So now you understand why I instructed you to show him even greater respect than you show me."
OAA spoke with a light chuckle.
The abstract beings nodded vigorously, resolving internally that if they ever encountered Yuki again, they would certainly strive to befriend him.
Meanwhile, Eternity sensed that Galacta had returned to Earth-616, and Yuki had accompanied her.
At this moment, Eternity surmised that his niece's relationship with this supreme being was likely quite special.
During this time, Master Order and Lord Chaos, seeing Galactus in his Lifebringer form, were instantly reminded of the time they had been thoroughly beaten by him in that same state.
Back then, realizing the immense power of the Lifebringer, they had appealed to the Living Tribunal for help. Using the pretext of disrupting cosmic balance, they asked the Tribunal to sanction the Lifebringer Galactus. However, the Living Tribunal refused, citing that the old laws no longer held force.
This enraged Order and Chaos, leading them to join forces and kill the Living Tribunal.
Ultimately, with the old laws invalid and all constraints gone, the two began acting recklessly. They sought out their servant, the In-Betweener, and the three of them fused their power to become Logos.
In this entire affair, their audacity to kill the Living Tribunal was greatly facilitated by the First Firmament's machinations behind the scenes.
After that, the crisis of Logos ravaging the cosmos erupted. During that time, Galactus himself was corrupted.
That crisis eventually ended when the Black Panther, empowered by the spirit of the White Tiger, tore Logos apart, forcibly separating the Master of Chaos and the Master of Order.
Subsequently, the Living Tribunal returned, and Order and Chaos awoke from the corruption inflicted by the First Firmament.
The Lifebringer Galactus continued to be active in the cosmos.
Had it not been for the later crisis where Ultron, wielding the Soul Gem, infected the universe to dominate it, Galactus could have remained in the Lifebringer state indefinitely. At that time, to save the universe from Ultron's infection, Galactus unhesitatingly destroyed entire planets, successfully thwarting Ultron's plan. However, this violated the Lifebringer's taboo against taking life, causing him to lose that exalted form.
Now, seeing Galactus restored to the Lifebringer state, Order and Chaos were naturally shocked. Seizing the moment with OAA and the other cosmic entities present, they sharply questioned Galactus.
"Galan, why have you entered the Lifebringer state?"
"Indeed! Are you unaware that this state disrupts cosmic balance?"
Their voices were loud, quickly drawing the attention of Eternity and the others.
Hearing their interrogation, Eternity turned towards them. "Have you two forgotten that Galan is the embodiment of cosmic balance? Even as the Lifebringer, his existence is justified. Or have you fallen under the First Firmament's corruption again?"
Eternity's tone held clear displeasure.
Galactus also looked at the two with a stern gaze. He remembered all too well when they, corrupted, had tried to drag him down as well.
"Uh..."
Faced with the disapproving looks from Galactus and Eternity, and the questioning expressions from the Living Tribunal and others, Order and Chaos fell silent.
At this moment, OAA spoke calmly. "Past events all unfolded according to a greater design. Such matters are for you to handle, adjudicated by the Living Tribunal."
"But regarding Galan's current Lifebringer state, it is not for you to decide lightly. For it was the earlier Mr. Yuki who facilitated this evolution."
OAA's words served as a reminder to all the abstract entities.
Hearing this, Order and Chaos instantly deflated, not daring to utter another word. If it was the doing of that being who stood even above their Supreme Sovereign... what right did they have to question it?
Meanwhile, with Yuki...
After being brought by Galacta to her apartment in the United States on Earth-616, Yuki ended the live stream.
"Mr... Mr. Yuki, I wanted to ask... could you help me with my hunger problem? And... could I also become a Lifebringer like my father?"
Galacta asked shyly, twisting the hem of her clothes.
"That? Of course. I can help you with that."
Yuki offered a knowing smile. He cast a barrier around the apartment, then scooped Galacta into his arms and carried her into the bedroom.
{T/n: She wasn't asking for that you fucking beast!}
