Ecological Star.
Captain Marvel revealed a relieved smile.
She had never imagined that this man would arrive so perfectly on time.
"No matter—through blades or through hell—if you ever need help, I will stand at your side."
That long-forgotten oath resurfaced in her mind.
With a surge of emotion, Captain Marvel shot into the sky and hovered before Renjie.
"You… came…"
Just three words—yet they carried everything.
"Mm… I'm here…"
Renjie lifted his hand and gently brushed the dust from Carol's face.
Then—
His gaze shifted to the Tyrant Herald below.
A flash of killing intent flickered in his eyes.
Renjie slowly descended from the sky, flying toward the immobilized Tyrant Herald.
The pressure around him climbed steadily.
Though the Tyrant Herald's face twisted in rage, no matter how he struggled, he couldn't move an inch.
He was nothing more than a living target.
Renjie raised his leg—
And kicked him square in the chest.
A dreamlike blue shockwave exploded outward, blooming into a massive sonic cloud!
The Tyrant Herald's body shattered the sound barrier, shrinking rapidly in Renjie's vision.
A distant mountain collapsed instantly.
With his ribs shattered, the Tyrant Herald was buried beneath a mountain of debris.
His armor was gone—so was his former arrogance.
He clawed his way out of the rubble, roaring in humiliation.
"Despicable outsider! Dare you fight me face to face?!"
"I'll show you what real power is!"
He grabbed his battle axe, trying to strike back—
But two blue beams erupted from the void!
The space around the Tyrant Herald collapsed into a massive black hole!
An irresistible gravitational pull dragged him inside, teleporting him straight into open space!
Before he could even release his cosmic energy—
A gauntleted hand seized his bald head from behind!
A mocking chuckle echoed in his ears.
The Tyrant Herald's instincts screamed danger.
Renjie clenched his grip—
Five fingers pierced flesh and sank deep into the Tyrant Herald's skull!
The agony made him scream.
He struggled wildly—only to suffer even more.
Renjie dragged him forward, then accelerated at light speed toward the nearest barren planet.
The Tyrant Herald's body was exposed to cosmic radiation, then scorched by atmospheric friction—releasing the stench of charred flesh.
His face was slammed into frozen bedrock.
The land within a hundred kilometers shattered into cosmic dust.
"Galactus… won't let you go…"
"Ha… hahaha… my Lord already knows… he is coming…"
Even as blood poured from all seven orifices, the Tyrant Herald still tried to threaten him.
His master was an eternal god.
Not something insects could even comprehend.
"Is that your final will?"
"How pitiful…"
Renjie withdrew his hand.
Sticky crimson blood dripped from his fingers—but he didn't care.
He rose beyond the planet's atmosphere, floating in the void.
Gazing down, he raised his bloodstained fingers—
And snapped.
A glowing blue portal formed behind him.
A small asteroid—tens of thousands of kilometers wide—
Was teleported from hundreds of light-years away!
It slammed straight into the planet below!
Planetary Teleportation!
A technique Renjie devised after mastering the Space Stone.
The energy released by planetary collisions was enough to erase even Skyfather-level beings.
The two celestial bodies collided.
Crimson shockwaves spread through space.
The planet became a colossal firework, exploding into dazzling brilliance before Renjie's eyes.
Through his perception—
The Tyrant Herald's life signature vanished completely.
Even Skyfather-level beings die before planetary annihilation.
Renjie turned coldly, preparing to reunite with Captain Marvel—
When he suddenly felt a terrifying presence approaching.
A vast face emerged in the void.
Before it, Renjie was no more than dust.
Galactus.
A multiversal god had descended.
His eternal form filled an entire star system.
Stars hovered before his face like tiny light bulbs.
Galactus gazed down with indifference at the insignificant humans below.
Yet—
He did not strike.
After withdrawing his scattered cosmic energy, the projection faded from Renjie's sight.
Renjie floated in the void.
Only after a long moment did he exhale softly.
Compared to such multiversal gods—
He was still far too weak.
Whether it was mercy…
Or fear…
This encounter with Galactus had shaken him deeply.
But—
When Renjie's Dark-Origin Universe is truly formed—
He will stand alongside these eternal gods.
Or even surpass them.
And become something greater.
