Wanda looked at Aaron. "That's all the information I know about the 2024 Universe. After helping Stephen escape the Astral Plane, I found Magik and Wolverine at Limbo, and then I met you."
Aaron nodded, lost in thought.
So, this is the point in time when they escaped the Astral Plane?
Luna asked weakly, "By the way, am I the only one who doesn't know what the Astral Plane is?"
Iron Fist raised his hand. "I don't know either."
He looked at Wolverine, who had been listening intently as if he understood everything, but the latter's expression was calm. "Don't look at me, I don't understand."
Then why were you nodding so matter-of-factly just now?
"The Astral Plane is essentially a pocket Universe, an abstract dimension where spirits and ectoplasm exist independently of the physical body, formed by human thoughts."
"Generally, every qualified Kamar-Taj mage can freely travel within it using astral projection."
Seeing that Luna and the others were still confused, Wanda patiently explained, "Simply put, you can think of it as the Ethereal Plane. Valhalla of the Asgardians in Norse mythology, Wakanda's Ancestral Plane, and certain Netherworlds in Egyptian mythology, all belong to the Astral Plane."
Luna and the other two still didn't quite understand, but that wasn't the crucial point.
Luna said, "So, New York has now become a Vampire paradise?"
"I was originally planning to hold a concert in New York. It seems I've dodged a bullet?"
Iron Fist became anxious at this point. "Since that's the case, let's quickly gather the X-Men and go to the 2024 Universe to stop Dracula."
Wolverine said, "Speaking of which, we can also seek help from the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda. In fact, they are also monitoring the situation of the time rift."
"I know their King Black Panther. According to them, they had already contacted Mister Fantastic of the 2024 Universe shortly after the temporal storm occurred."
"Now, Princess Shuri, Wakanda's greatest scientist, has discovered a certain Chronovium and is collaborating with Mister Fantastic to create a time machine, attempting to repair the time rift."
"Not long ago, I rescued another Captain America. I later learned from Shuri that they plan to combine Vibranium and Chronovium to form a special crystal."
"However, their God seems to have encountered some trouble and has been infected by a dark force."
"Now they have hired the strongest mercenaries, the Guardians of the Galaxy, to investigate that dark energy. Once they resolve the dark energy, we will be able to get help from the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda."
Magik thought of something and said, "I think... I might know what infected the Panther God."
"I previously opened a portal to send Venom to their home planet, Klyntar..."
"Knull, the God of Symbiotes?"
Aaron was a bit surprised. "Knull infected the Panther God?"
Magik nodded, surprised that Aaron knew about Knull.
"I observed that the Guardians of the Galaxy are also on Klyntar."
"Klyntar is a prison collectively created by the Symbiotes to imprison Knull, the God of Darkness."
"As the God of Darkness, Knull existed even before the Big Bang and is the absolute Dominator of night."
"He created the Symbiotes and engaged in battle with the Celestials."
"He is a terrifying cosmic god, even more powerful than some Dimensional Rulers."
Aaron found this a bit strange.
The Panther God has always been in the Astral Plane, while Knull is in the Real Universe.
How did Knull infect the Panther God, who was in her lair, from such a distance?
After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out. He could only attribute it to the Panther God being too weak.
After all, Knull had at least killed a Celestial, and that achievement alone surpassed over ninety-nine percent of Gods.
Luna looked at Aaron. "Speaking of which, you're also a Dark Lord. If Knull hears about it, he won't come looking for trouble with you, will he?"
Aaron's lips twitched. "That coward who was beaten up by the Celestials and could only hide and forge weapons in frustration?"
Aaron made no secret of his disdain for Knull. The so-called dark god was nothing special.
Wanda tilted her head and glanced at Aaron.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be boasting, her expression became slightly serious. This meant that Aaron's strength was at least above Knull's.
He had to be at least on par with Knull to have the confidence not to fear him.
Wanda's heart stirred.
Since Aaron was so powerful, if she could really persuade him to help, then this crisis would surely proceed more smoothly, wouldn't it?
Wanda felt she was a good judge of character. Aaron didn't seem like Doctor Doom or Dracula, who harbored terrifying ambitions. He seemed more like a neutral deity.
It was just that this deity had a slight mischievous mind.
Perhaps he really was a God of Fun?
Wanda was thinking about how to persuade Aaron to help.
She looked at Luna, then at Magik.
Could it be that she had to use a honey trap?
Suddenly, a clear female voice appeared in Aaron's mind.
"Oh, hero deity from another Universe, please come and save this Universe."
Aaron raised an eyebrow.
Magik sensed something and asked, "What's wrong?"
Aaron asked, "Did you not hear that?"
Magik shook her head.
Aaron thought of something and tentatively said, "Galacta?"
"I'm here."
"You actually know me?"
2024 Universe.
New York National Broadcasting Center.
A woman dressed like Galactus, but wearing purple stockings and with long black hair, opened her eyes, which resembled purple gemstones.
As the daughter of Galactus, Galacta was experiencing for the first time being so easily recognized by someone. And it was a deity from another Universe.
She was certain she had never met Aaron before.
As a terrifying, hungry, minor sub-cosmic entity, Galacta trusted her brain implicitly. There was no trace of Aaron in her memory.
"Is it strange that I know you? After all, you are the famous daughter of Galactus. You look even cuter than I expected."
Cute?
Galacta chuckled.
Apparently realizing that her demeanor was too childish and might be noticed by Aaron, she quickly put on a stern face, pretending to be mature and calm, yet her voice remained that clear, melodious female voice when she spoke.
"Please stop these meaningless compliments, warrior from another Universe. Are you willing to contribute to this Universe and protect every blade of grass and tree in this fragile ecosystem?"
