"I tried to stop him," Uatu told him.
"It''s alright, my friend. You did your best. He''s a cosmic being powered by Gctus. I''ll deal with him. Norrin Radd, you are not allowed to harm this. Have you forgotten that you became Silver Surfer to protect your people? Now here you are, going around destroyings. Let me jolt up your memories."
Alexander sent a psionic probe into Silver Surfer''s mind and removed whatever limiters Gctus had put.
As soon as he was done, Silver Surfer screamed and fell down. Remembering all the horrors he did. Gctus had made him stop feeling. But the memories were still there.
Alexander gave the poor guy a calming draught.
"How will you deal with Gctus, God-son?" Uatu asked, he knew what kind of dreadful entity Gctus was.
"Simple, my friend. I might not be able to defeat him yet but I can surely scare him or maybe talk him out." Alexander confidently replied.
"Silver Surfer, I want you to take me to Gctus. I''ll talk to him myself. I might be able to free you from his clutches as well."
The Silver Surfer agreed without a question and took him to where Gctus was. Gctic had his base of operations in the huge Sr System sized Worldship called Taa II. But he also roamed the Universe in search of news to eat. "Hey, surfer, do you know the history of Gctus and why he eatss?" Alexander struck up a conversation.
"Becauses are food for him?" Surfing replied, unsure of his answer.
"Then you''re in for a story, Gctus''s real name is Gn, he was a brilliant scientist from the utopian Taa, in a Universe preceding the current one where we are. Through his studies, Gn discovered that his Universe was copsing, and would destroy itself very soon. He desperately tried to warn his fellow Taa-ans, but no one would listen.
"Eventually resolving to save himself, Gn quickly took a ship and traveled to the World Egg, which was at the center of the Universe. As his Universe died around him, Gn found a way to merge with the Egg, and survived the Big Crunch. When this Universe was born, Gn was reborn as a being of pure energy named Gctus.
Yes, he needs to consumes in order to survive. But there is another reason."
Alexander noted that Silver Surfer was fully focused on his words. So he continued.
"You know, in this universe, there are two fundamental entities. Eternity and Infinity. Eternity is the physical embodiment of the Entire Universe. Infinity is the physical embodiment of the totality of space.
Together, the two of them represent the entire space-time continuum. Gctus is not only devourings, he is saving the entire universe.
He''s bncing the entire universe by consumings. Without him, the universe cannot exist. He, needs to exist, in order for everything else in the universe to exist.
HE IS THE LIFEBRINGER.
He doesn''t care about the, he doesn''t care about the sr system, he doesn''t care about the Gxy, he cares about the entire universe." He finished his short story.
He had not told him about the future though. When the current Marvel Universees to an end, Gctus is supposed to explode at the center of the universe and start the new big bang. Creating a new Universe. And the new Gctus of the new Universe was supposed to be the little baby he had met today, Franklin Richards.
"This is indeed interesting. This means that Gctus is not evil. He is just doing his work." Silver Surfer interjected.
"Absolutely, his size and style just make him look evil. I also want topare our ships'' sizes."
Hisst words confused Surfer, but he didn''t ask as they had reached the location.
In front of them was the gigantic Worldship of Gctus. As big as the whole Sr System. Silver Surfer had an employee pass so he just entered the ship with Alexander.
Silver Surfer took him to the Throne room-like area of Gctus. Once in there, Surfer kneeled.
"So you are the one I sensed back then. What is a higher dimensional being doing here?" Gctus spoke.
Alexander wasn''t surprised that Gctus could detect his divinity.
"Ah, nothing. Just doing my work like you are doing yours." He shrugged. Alexander then checked Gctus''s sins.
||Gctus - Category 0.5
Murder due to work since the creation of the universe - 12,456,789,535,789
Enved - 2
Sin Percentage - 0.1%||
Alexander had never seen such stats. So many Killings and yet no sin. He postted that is was because Gctus didn''t do it because he was evil. To him, he''s just living his life. Just like how humans kill animals to eat, Gctus eatss. Alexander silently talked to God for an answer and sure enough, his guess was right.
Every universe had creation and destruction aspects. With any of them missing, the universe would slowly copse. This meant that he could not do anything to Gctus as he was just doing what he was made to do.
"Why did youe to see me?" Gctus asked.
"Well, I want you to spare Earth till eternity. Also, let Silver Surfer go." He demanded.
"Why Earth? What is so good about it?" Gctic asked.
"For starters. It''s the home of lots of good, overpowered people. You should seriously avoid it if you don''t want to fight Phoenix. Your Sessor is also being groomed there so you should leave him be. The people living there will also be saving the Universe from losing half of its life force soon."
Then Alexander continued to show him Avengers Infinity Wars and Endgame. It''s not like they were going to happen now. And even if it happened, Thanos would get killed even if he had infinite stones. Because Avengers would have X-Men as well. Hell, Jean alone could kill him.
"Hmm... Indeed it is a worth leaving. Why my herald? Why do you want him?" Gctus asked.
"Because if you keep on enving him then your sins will increase and I''ll have to erase your existence then. You are a LIFEBRINGER to the Universe so enving someone isn''t good. Alright, let''s make a deal. I''ll teach you magic through which you can make magical heralds for you. What do you say?" Alexander suggested.
"I agree. But you must make it first." He demanded.
Alexander happily obliged and made a humanoid Golem. "See this, you can also make it as strong as you need."
After that, Alexanderpared the sizes of their ships. Alexander expanded his Ironheim to be bigger than Gctus''s Worldship and won.
"Haha, you lost, Gctus. I have the biggest ship." Alexander proudly announced.
"Yes, God-son won." Silver Surfer gave his approval as the judge.
Gctus looked a bit shocked by how a small ball sized ship could erge into something bigger than Taa II. Higher-dimensional beings were crazy for sure, he thought.
"ording to the bet. You will only eats devoid of sentient life for the next ten thousand years." Alexander reminded him. Ten thousand years would be enough for many superheroes on earth to be powerful enough to keep Gctus in check.
Gctus nodded his giant head. "I do not break my words. But you must do something for me as well."
Alexander was intrigued, "What is it?"
"My daughter lives on your, Earth. She''s small and thinks she can control her hunger. But soon, she would realize that our kind can not sustain without feeding ons. From your vision, I saw beings capable of harming her. Can you promise that you would shelter her?" Gctus asked.
"If she lived there then why did you even send Surfer there?" Alexander inquired.
"I didn''t, he went there himself. I would have left Earth alone either way. The Earth has too many connections with a lot of Supreme beings of this universe. It can not be destroyed so easily." Gctic confessed.
Alexander couldn''t help but nod. Earth was indeed like the center of all the mess of Marvel Universe.
"I will find your daughter and help her, Gctus. Do not worry about her. I will go back now. If you need me someday, just call me up." He threw an intergcticmunicator at him and left with Silver Surfer.
He arranged for Silver Surfer to live with the Fantastic Four as they owned a whole building and also needed a bit more firepower.
...
On an uncharted.
Loki angrily looked at Ronan the user,
"I don''t want anything to do with this n of yours. I do not serve anyone except Asgard." Loki shouted.
"You joined Almighty Thanos on your own ord but will leave on ours. You will do as I say, either by your own will... or mine," Ronan used the Chitauri Scepter with mind stone in it on him.
"I COMMAND YOU TO ATTACK EARTH. OPEN A GATEWAY FOR ME AND THE CHITAURI ARMY. GO NOW," Ronanmanded.
