"No, your father is your father, and you are you. You don't need to hate yourself because of him."
Xia Yu said seriously as he looked at Gamora's lonely expression; he absolutely loved solving the psychological problems of teenage girls.
"And how should I put it... your father is just fulfilling his duty. Besides, this duty was given to him by the universe; he has no choice."
Hearing Xia Yu say this, Gamora asked in surprise, "So you think Father's actions are correct?"
"Uh... not exactly." Xia Yu shook his head. "But a perspective on something isn't just black and white; it has two sides. From a cosmic macro perspective, your father is right. But from the perspective of the universe's living beings, your father is wrong. After all, he destroyed so many planets and left many beings homeless."
In this regard, the most typical example is the Skrulls. In marvel comics, there are three major cosmic empires: the Shi'ar, the Kree, and the Skrulls. Both the Kree and the Skrulls have appeared in marvel movies, though in the movies, the Skrulls became a vulnerable group hunted by the Kree.
But in the comics, the Skrull Empire's strength is not at all inferior to the Kree Empire's. Even so, the Skrull Empire had no resistance against Uncle Tun; even the Skrull homeworld was destroyed by him.
This directly led to the Skrulls being extremely terrified of Uncle Tun. In the comic 'New Avengers: Illuminati,' Doctor Strange merely used an illusion to show Uncle Tun's majestic form, and it scared the Skrull fleet into a chaotic mess as they scrambled to escape.
Therefore, most civilizations in the universe have no resistance against Galactus, viewing Uncle Tun as an irresistible natural disaster of the universe.
Hearing Xia Yu's explanation, Gamora lowered her head and murmured to herself, "Two sides..."
But the next moment, she shook her head and said firmly, "I'm sorry, even so, I still don't agree with Father's actions. He is too cold-blooded and ruthless. If it's for the sake of the universe, can't he just find some desolate planets to eat?"
In fact, he did that initially, but the gradually increasing hunger forced him to devour planets inhabited by living races.
Of course, Xia Yu only turned those words over in his mind and didn't say them out loud. Looking at the still-contemplating Gamora, Xia Yu spoke carefully.
"Since you don't agree with your father's actions, then don't. Your father is your father, and you are you. Your father is destined to be Galactus, but you aren't. You can choose the future you want."
Of course, this was Xia Yu tricking Gamora. As the daughter of Galactus, Gamora was destined to follow the path of a Galactus.
It's just that her father is already serving as the Galactus of this universe, so the cosmic duty of devouring planets isn't her turn yet.
However, despite the trickery, Gamora's eyes lit up upon hearing Xia Yu say this, but the next moment, they dimmed again.
"But, I don't know where my future lies. I hate my cold father, and I also hate the self I might become in the future, just like him."
"I don't know the meaning of my existence. If my birth was destined to destroy the worlds where others live, I would rather not have been born into this world."
This way of thinking is too kind; you're a cosmic deity, for goodness' sake, Xia Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Yu continued, "Actually, we humans have this problem too. It's called the three philosophical questions: Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?"
"These three questions are almost universal for intelligent life. Some people spend their whole lives unable to understand them, but I have an answer here. Do you want to hear it?"
Already drawn in by Xia Yu's words, Gamora nodded hurriedly. The three questions Xia Yu just mentioned also made her start thinking.
She also wanted to know what kind of answer this Earthling, who seemed very wise to her, could provide.
Perhaps that answer could clear the confusion in her heart.
Seeing Gamora listening intently, Xia Yu smiled slightly. "The answer is to go to the pier and get some fries."
"Huh?"
Hearing this answer, Gamora was a bit dazed. She understood all the words in the sentence, but because she understood them all, she was even more confused, as she didn't understand the meaning behind the answer.
"Go to the pier and get some fries... what does that mean?"
"It means 'forget about it.' When the carriage reaches the mountain, there will be a path; when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight. No matter what, keep moving forward; that's the only way to find a path, and that's what's most important."
Hearing this answer, Gamora became thoughtful. Forget everything and just keep going?
"So, since you just arrived on Earth, why don't you come to my place for a meal? Though it's nothing particularly delicious."
"..."
Hearing the sudden jump in the topic, Gamora was dazed again. Why were they just discussing life philosophy, and the next question was asking her if she wanted to eat?
This person... is really strange. Gamora couldn't help but chuckle. The depression from talking about herself dissipated with that question of whether to eat.
Speaking of which, to get to Earth, she hadn't really looked for anything to eat in the universe.
Although eating definitely wouldn't fill her up, this was the first time she had been invited by someone, and the person inviting her even knew her identity.
Thinking of this, Gamora smiled, stepped forward, tilted her head slightly, and said, "Alright then, but I have quite a large appetite."
After getting the expected answer, Xia Yu suppressed his excitement. This was only the first step. To keep Gamora on Earth, there were many more steps to take. At the very least, he had to make her like Earth.
Hmm... it's a tough task. Given what he knows about this little blue marble, it's already good if it's not hated. After all, nobody knows its flaws better than its own inhabitants.
Forget it, just as he said, there's always a way. I'll kidnap Tun-mei back first.
With that thought, Xia Yu looked at the spaceship behind Gamora. Noticing Xia Yu's gaze, Gamora hurriedly said, "I'll turn on the ship's cloaking device right away so no one else finds it."
After saying that, Gamora was about to return to the ship, but Xia Yu quickly stepped up to it and placed his hand on it.
In the next second, the spaceship disappeared without a sound, vanishing right before their eyes.
"It's fine." After putting the ship away, Xia Yu smiled kindly. "I've stored the ship for you, so there won't be any problems. If you want to leave, I'll give it back to you."
Hearing Xia Yu's words, Gamora's heart warmed. She didn't expect the first Earthling she met to be such a good person. How lucky.
After storing the ship, Xia Yu hurriedly @'d the Tech-side Xia Yus in the group, telling them to quickly dismantle and study it. This purple ship was very likely something Gamora flew out of Uncle Tun's mothership, so its technological level must be high.
