"Planet Devourer, Earth does not welcome you. If there is nothing, please leave here."
If Artoria Stark weren't here, Gaea would have already taken action to expel the other party. Although she was asking about the purpose of the other party's visit, Gaea had already accumulated her power. Once the other party made any strange moves, she planned to launch her strongest attack directly. Even if she couldn't kill the other party, she would blast them out of the solar system to ensure Earth's safety. The title 'Planet Devourer' was not gained for nothing; it was a title obtained after devouring countless Planets and stars. For such an existence, it was normal for Gaea to hold 120,000 percent vigilance. Who knew if the other party would suddenly take a bite out of you to taste the flavor?
"Eh!? I really didn't expect this Planet to have actually birthed such a powerful consciousness. It's truly beyond my expectations."
Perhaps it was because the scent Artoria Stark was emitting from the side was too tempting, or perhaps Gaea and the Earth were originally one and naturally blended into the atmosphere of the Earth. Even Artoria Stark couldn't understand Earth's next move through intuition, let alone the Star-Devouring Woman Galacta, who was not good at reconnaissance.
"Is this all you have to say?"
It was clear that Galacta's words could not make Gaea lower her guard; on the contrary, it made Gaea even more displeased. The aura on the other party made Gaea nauseous. She had absolutely no good feelings toward the cute-looking girl in front of her, which directly led to Gaea treating Galacta even worse. However, Galacta did not care about Gaea's hostility. She still couldn't help but glance at Artoria Stark, who was watching the show from the side. The fragrance emitted from this young lady made her completely unable to concentrate, as if the other party was inviting her: 'Come on! Let's have fun!... Cough!' Come, eat me!
"I did not bring malice, consciousness of the Planet. I just came to investigate the life forms on this Planet."
Forcing herself to suppress the thought of pouncing up to 'take a couple of bites,' Galacta forced her attention onto Gaea. Her cute, big purple eyes were full of 'appetite'—this was directed at Artoria Stark, but Gaea clearly misunderstood. Saying she came to investigate—would someone come to investigate with that kind of look? Are you taking me, Gaea, for a fool!
"Shut up, you shameless devourer. You want to eat our Planet and are still putting on an act. You are so shameless."
Gaea could not hold back any longer and began to berate Galacta. This caught Galacta completely off guard; it was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and the first time she had been "cursed" by someone. For a moment, Galacta felt aggrieved. She was telling the truth; she had not come to Earth to eat the "Planet." She had only wanted to get close to the "delicacy" to have a good sniff and satisfy her cravings. She had not expected this big sister in front of her to be so rude. How infuriating!
"Gaea, what's wrong? Why is your temper so explosive?"
Artoria was also seeing Gaea so out of character for the first time. She thought to herself that Gaea's change today was indeed related to the Star-Devouring Woman in front of them. Artoria quickly realized the source of Gaea's irritation. The title "Star-Devouring Woman" evolved from "Galactus" or "Destroyer of Planets." In other words, both the Planet Devourer and the Star-Devouring Woman were mortal enemies of Planets; this was indisputable. Through this, Artoria understood the reason for Gaea's agitation. Even though everyone liked this cute and adorable Star-Devouring Woman, she did indeed possess the ability to devour stars and fed on Planets. No matter how many bottom lines she set for herself, she could not escape this fact.
In other words, Gaea was now facing her natural enemy. If she didn't even show this much temper, it would mean that Gaea was either capable of looking down on her natural enemy or had already given up on her own survival. Thinking of this, Artoria began to accumulate magic power. If anything happened, she would definitely help Gaea. Who knew if this Star-Devouring Woman was truly cute and adorable, or if she was a dark version.
"I don't want your explanation. Even if you want to devour my life, Planet Devourer, don't think you'll have it easy."
Gaea glanced at Artoria, casually tossed the giant egg she had been holding for the past few days to Artoria, and snapped her fingers. Gaea and the Star-Devouring Woman, who was about to speak, both vanished from Artoria's sight. This left Artoria, who was prepared to fight, bewildered. What exactly was going on? Why suddenly throw an egg at me? What are you trying to do? Gaea, are you trying to face the Planet Devourer alone?
"I really have no malicious intent! Consciousness of the Planet, I would never devour a lifeform capable of thought."
Having been suddenly brought to a strange place by Gaea, Galacta explained helplessly. However, her very existence was in irreconcilable conflict with Planets, just like the relationship between a hunter and prey. No matter how much Galacta explained, she could not make Gaea, who was already fired up, calm down.
"Do you think I will believe what you say?"
Gathering immense power in her hands, Gaea attacked Galacta. She needed to quickly kill her or knock her off Earth, not giving her a chance to grow larger and devour her. Gaea ignored all of Galacta's explanations; she would not believe that a creature who fed on Planets could change to eating other things to survive.
"Bang~!"
Regarding Gaea's attitude, Galacta felt aggrieved, but she had no choice but to fight back. From the look in her eyes, she could feel that this was a situation where she was going to be killed; it felt like a fight to the Death. Although it was the first time she had encountered such a thing, Galacta was still very strong, and a fierce battle began in that place.
"She actually pushed me aside, seriously."
Holding the giant egg in her arms, Artoria stood in the room, thinking speechlessly. After playing with the giant egg in her hands for a moment, Artoria tossed it onto the sofa. The shell was very hard anyway, so there was no fear of it breaking. Since Gaea didn't want her to participate, she would just wait! Although the Star-Devouring Woman was very cute, she had known Gaea longer and had a deep bond with her. Reason and emotion dictated that she should help Gaea. But to be honest, nobody wanted to lay a hand on such a cute girl like Galacta.
"Forget it, I'll just wait!"
Thinking this to herself, Artoria picked up her phone, ready to see the latest major events online. Since Hydra "disappeared," most gangs had kept their heads down, not intending to stick their necks out at this critical juncture. However, there were always a few special individuals still causing trouble, but it was their bad luck. After this incident, the Inhumans had completely established a reputation among ordinary people. To maintain their image, the Inhumans immediately helped the Police and suppressed them.
"They did a great job with this!"
Seeing this, Artoria felt much more relieved. As long as they kept their heads on straight, things would be easier to handle in the future. In just these two days, the Inhuman city of Attilan on the moon was going to be relocated to the ocean surface. Artoria had already reached an agreement with Black Bolt. Bringing Gaea here this time was also for this matter, hoping that she could lend a hand and let the Inhumans take root on Earth.
"If the Star-Devouring Woman is here, is the Galactus also coming soon? Should I go find that 'Ultimate Nullifier' first? But I have the Infinity Stones."
Artoria held an indifferent attitude toward this "Ultimate Nullifier." Now that she had these four Infinity Stones in her hands, let alone Galactus coming, even if the Celestials arrived, Artoria would not give them any face. However, Artoria remained vigilant regarding Thanos. She hoped this guy wasn't possessed by an older Thanos from the future, or that he wouldn't suddenly get lucky and fuse with the Heart of the Universe; otherwise, it would be really hard to deal with this purple sweet potato.
