"I tried to stop him," Uatu told him.
"It's alright, my friend. You did your best. He's a cosmic being powered by Galactus. I'll deal with him. Norrin Radd, you are not allowed to harm this planet. Have you forgotten that you became Silver Surfer to protect your people? Now here you are, going around destroying Planets. Let me jolt up your memories."
Alexander sent a psionic probe into Silver Surfer's mind and removed whatever limiters Galactus had put.
As soon as he was done, Silver Surfer screamed and fell down. Remembering all the horrors he did. Galactus had made him stop feeling. But the memories were still there.
Alexander gave the poor guy a calming draught.
"How will you deal with Galactus, God-son?" Uatu asked, he knew what kind of dreadful entity Galactus 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 Galactus. 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 Galactus was. Galactic had his base of operations in the huge Solar System sized Worldship called Taa II. But he also roamed the Universe in search of new planets to eat.
"Hey, surfer, do you know the history of Galactus and why he eats planets?" Alexander struck up a conversation.
"Because planets are food for him?" Surfing replied, unsure of his answer.
"Then you're in for a story, Galactus's real name is Galan, he was a brilliant scientist from the utopian planet Taa, in a Universe preceding the current one where we are. Through his studies, Galan discovered that his Universe was collapsing, 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, Galan quickly took a ship and traveled to the World Egg, which was at the center of the Universe. As his Universe died around him, Galan found a way to merge with the Egg, and survived the Big Crunch. When this Universe was born, Galan was reborn as a being of pure energy named Galactus.
Yes, he needs to consume planets 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. Galactus is not only devouring planets, he is saving the entire universe.
He's balancing the entire universe by consuming planets. 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 planet, he doesn't care about the solar system, he doesn't care about the Galaxy, he cares about the entire universe." He finished his short story.
He had not told him about the future though. When the current Marvel Universe comes to an end, Galactus is supposed to explode at the center of the universe and start the new big bang. Creating a new Universe. And the new Galactus of the new Universe was supposed to be the little baby he had met today, Franklin Richards.
"This is indeed interesting. This means that Galactus 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 to compare our ships' sizes."
"Yes, God-son won." Silver Surfer gave his approval as the judge.
Galactus looked a bit shocked by how a small ball sized ship could enlarge into something bigger than Taa II. Higher-dimensional beings were crazy for sure, he thought.
"According to the bet. You will only eat planets 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 become powerful enough to keep Galactus in check.
Galactus 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 planet, Earth. She's small and thinks she can control her hunger. But soon, she would realize that our kind can not sustain without feeding on planets. From your vision, I saw beings capable of harming her. Can you promise that you would shelter her?" Galactus 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." Galactic 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, Galactus. Do not worry about her. I will go back now. If you need me someday, just call me up." He threw an intergalactic communicator 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 planet.
Loki angrily looked at Ronan the Accuser,
"I don't want anything to do with this plan of yours. I do not serve anyone except Asgard." Loki shouted.
"You joined Almighty Thanos on your own accord 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," Ronan commanded.
