"Long time no see, Director Fury."
Adam Apparitioned to the company headquarters office and found that not only Susan was there, but also Nick Fury, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director who hadn't shown his face in a long time.
Nick Fury looked at Adam with a solemn expression:
"Long time no see, Mr. Adam."
"Boss, I didn't want to bother you during the holiday, but this time, I'm afraid only you can solve it personally."
Susan's expression was equally grim.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Adam sat down in a chair, gesturing for Susan to explain in detail.
He felt he might have guessed wrong; it shouldn't be the celestial embryo hatching early.
Because the hatching of a celestial embryo would at most cause some unusual natural phenomena, uninformed people would be somewhat confused, but it wouldn't be like this, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Even Fury had made a special trip, which felt more like encountering an insurmountable foe.
Susan opened the office's projection video, and a silver-clad figure on a surfboard appeared before Adam's eyes.
"This guy suddenly appeared this morning; he seems to be from outer space.
After entering Earth, all the places he flew over experienced abnormal phenomena.
The heavy snow in Egypt, the icy seas of Japan, the power outages in Washington, and so on, were all caused by him."
"After I discovered him, I immediately dispatched fighter jets to pursue him, but they were all destroyed by him.
I then had Captain Marvel go personally, wanting to understand his purpose in coming to Earth, but he said that Earth would be destroyed in eight days, and he easily defeated Marvel."
Nick Fury continued Susan's explanation.
In fact, when he first discovered this invader from outer space, he had wanted to capture and study him directly, to see if he could acquire the invader's ability to change natural weather phenomena.
However, the opponent was too strong; in the end, even S.H.I.E.L.D.'s strongest, Black Captain Marvel, had her energy drained and was defeated in less than a few rounds.
Moreover, the opponent said he would destroy the entire Earth in eight days, which forced him to seek help from Adam's League of Heroes.
"After we received Director Fury's plea for help, we immediately dispatched all available Flying Superheroes to assist, but..."
Susan's face turned grim as she started playing the video, which showed the League of Heroes's Superheroes battling the silver figure.
Leading the Superheroes was Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who had now fully adapted to life in this World. Behind her were Namor the Neptune, Flying Valkyrie Jessica, Storm, and many other figures Adam was not very familiar with.
This group attack didn't last long, and the results were not optimistic; if not for Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, most of them would have been severely injured or killed by falling.
The silver figure's body was indestructible; no physical attacks caused him harm, not even Namor the Neptune's Vibranium weapon.
Moreover, he could emit a very powerful cosmic energy, with a wide attack range and great power.
After enduring a wave of attacks from everyone, a single counterattack sent all Superheroes, except for Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, falling down severely injured.
Fortunately, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya promptly activated Primordial Space, taking all Superheroes inside.
Next was the one-on-one battle between Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and the silver figure; the destructive power of their battle was terrifying, instantly destroying nearby hills and lakes.
To avoid harming innocent people, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya used Amenominaka to bring the silver figure into another space connected to the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan's Primordial Space for the decisive battle.
Approximately five minutes later, the silver figure reappeared, calmly leaving on his surfboard.
Two minutes later, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya appeared with half her body missing and a grim expression; it was clear she was no match and had been injured.
However, she had an Sage body, and with a little more time, half her body could regrow.
"It's Silver Surfer. This is troublesome, even more troublesome than the celestial embryo!"
After the video finished, Adam's expression also became solemn.
Previously, when he guessed it was the celestial embryo hatching early, his expression wasn't as solemn as it was now.
Because of the celestial embryo problem, he could go to the Eternal who were living in seclusion on Earth; as long as he told the Eternal the truth about the celestial embryo's hatching, they would help kill the celestial embryo.
With the Eternal taking the blame, even if The Judge came to Earth, he would first take away the Eternal and not attack him or Earth.
But this Silver Surfer was different.
He wasn't afraid of Silver Surfer; the strength Silver Surfer displayed in the video was indeed powerful, but he was confident he could defeat the opponent.
Moreover, Silver Surfer had a fatal weakness: all his power came from the surfboard beneath his feet. The surfboard was the source of Silver Surfer's cosmic energy; as long as he snatched Silver Surfer's surfboard, Silver Surfer would be incapacitated.
What he truly feared was Silver Surfer's Master—Galactus!
Galactus, one of the five great creation Celestials of Marvel, was an existence on the same level as Eternity, Death, Infinity, and Oblivion.
He was the Celestial of World destruction, a Planet killer, maintaining the balance of the entire Universe by devouring Planets.
In the Dragon Ball World, he was an existence similar to God of Destruction Beerus; his act of devouring Planets was righteous from the perspective of the entire Universe, but no one would want their own Planet to be devoured.
Silver Surfer's Planet was originally one of the Planets to be eaten by Galactus.
To protect his Planet, he promised to serve Galactus forever and find suitable Planets for him to consume, in exchange for Galactus sparing his Planet.
Galactus bestowed upon him powerful cosmic energy and erased all his memories, good and evil, conscience, moral values, and so on.
Now that Silver Surfer had come to Earth, it meant that Earth would become Galactus's food, and Galactus would arrive on Earth in eight days.
And with his current strength, he was absolutely no match for Galactus.
"Even you are no match for him?"
Seeing Adam's expression become so solemn, Nick Fury's face also changed.
Although the existence of Adam and the League of Heroes had caused S.H.I.E.L.D. to lose most of its power, it was undeniable that the World was becoming better and safer.
Adam had repeatedly saved the World with his powerful and unquestionable strength.
If even Adam was no match for this invader, then Earth was truly doomed.
"I'm not worried about this guy; I'm worried about his Master behind him."
Adam briefly explained the general situation of Galactus.
And Nick Fury and Susan, who was beside him, after hearing Adam's description of Galactus, only felt a chill down their spines, and a sense of despair immediately rose from their hearts.
They truly couldn't imagine that there was such a terrifying existence in the Universe, actually eating entire Planets as snacks.
