Amidst the pulsating explosion of Galactus's purple energy, Peter's instincts kicked in. With swift precision, he conjured a golden-rimmed portal in front of himself, using it as a shield against the all-encompassing attack.
The portal absorbed the portion of the onslaught aimed at him, redirecting the attack to the connected portal, which opened up behind him, shooting the energy off into the vast emptiness of space.
Peering to the side, Peter marveled at the relentless energy wave continuing its destructive journey. He couldn't help but be impressed by the sheer magnitude of Galactus's power, a force capable of obliterating entire solar systems, perhaps even galaxies with increased intensity.
A wave of relief washed over Peter, grateful that he had chosen the far reaches of the universe for their battle, sparing countless lives and planets from annihilation.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via noovelllbbin
As the distant energy dissipated into nothingness, Galactus, appearing where he floated moments before, breathed heavily, his glowing eyes searching for any sign of Peter's demise.
Expectation hung in the air, but as his gaze landed on a golden-rimmed portal, he knew Peter was at the very least alive. And as the portal closed, revealing Peter standing unscathed, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
"What a tantrum that was. You'd think someone as old and decrepit as you would have better self control" A smirk played on Peter's lips as he casually asked, "So, should we kick it up a notch now?"
Before, their fight was only conducted with pure physical combat, but seeing as Galactus decided to use his powers, Peter felt that it was finally time that they start taking this battle seriously.
Of course, Peter couldn't help but feel a bit smug from the fact that he wasn't the first to break. It was Galactus who broke their silent agreement to not use their abilities, not him.
Galactus, his arrogance not completely shattered, scoffed, "Enough talk! Come and fight!"
Despite the broken armor marring his colossal form, Galactus had quickly recovered from the aftermath of his explosive attack. The cosmic energy coursing through him repaired the damage, leaving only battle-worn armor as evidence of the prior onslaught. His gaze remained fixed on Peter, determination etched across his features.
The dynamics of their confrontation shifted. No longer a mere exchange of blows, the silent understanding between them shattered with Galactus's last explosive assault. Now, it was an all-out clash, both combatants fully aware that the stakes had escalated.
Excitement surged through Peter as the prospect of going all out finally arrived. Instantly, his body expanded and morphed, transforming into the immense, towering figure of the Red Hulk. Galactus, floating across from him, observed with curiosity rather than immediate aggression, intrigued by the unfolding transformation.
As the metamorphosis finished, Peter extending his hand and wielded Hela's power, crafting a colossal black sword, which fell into the palm of his hand. The giant bastard sword stood as tall as, if not taller than, Peter's Red Hulk form.
Galactus, still withholding his assault, watched the transformation unfold, his eyes reflecting anticipation, which he rarely has the chance to experience.
With the transformation complete, Peter's eyes met Galactus's at an equal level. 'Let's see how much more powerful my Red Hulk form is now" A sly smirk played on Peter's lips as he advised, "Try not to die."
As the words left Peter's mouth, white cosmic energy enveloped him and the colossal sword, enhancing his already formidable presence.
Galactus, feeling the surging power from Peter, responded in kind, coating his colossal form in a shimmering purple energy.
Before Peter could initiate the first attack, Galactus seized the opportunity, vanishing in a burst of speed. In an instant, he reappeared in front of Peter, his hand outstretched, unleashing a thick beam of purple energy at point-blank range.
Peter, anticipating the assault, swung his enormous sword with finesse, slicing the energy in half and redirecting it away from his now-colossal form.
The sword, nearly bisecting Galactus in the process, managed to just barely graze his arm, shaving off a layer of skin and muscle. Though a moment later, the wound healed as if it had never existed.
Undeterred, Peter smirked, signaling the beginning of his relentless onslaught. "Like I said, try not to die too soon! I really need a test dummy like you right now"
Galactus rolled his glowing purple eyes. "Yeah, yeah, enough talk already"
Meanwhile, Galactus, once the dominant side of this battle, began to frown as Peter effortlessly turned the tides. The frustration deepened when he realized he had unwittingly become a testing ground for Peter's growing powers.
And worst of all, he couldn't even land a single hit, as Peter would just phase away
In his rage, Galactus abandoned strategy, attacking Peter like a mindless berserker. "Aaarrggghhh!!!!"
However, Peter's phasing ability remained in full effect, and Galactus found himself unable to land a single hit. Now more a master of his abilities than before, Peter danced around Galactus with ease, retaliating to every failed attack on his person. But unlike Galactus, who couldn't land a single attack anymore, the majority of Peter's counterattacks connected.
"What's the matter?" Peter asked tauntingly as a beam of energy phased through his chest. "Why so serious and angry? Is it that you've realized you're losing?"
"Aaaaarrrgggghhhh!!!!!!!" Galactus refused to reply in words as he continued his pointless, frenzied assault.

As the battle raged on, hours passed as Peter made good use of his time, mastering his abilities in a much faster time than he originally planned.
Floating across from him, Galactus breathed heavily, every fiber of his being radiating pure exhaustion. The toll of the prolonged battle weighed heavily on him, a stark contrast to the confident force he once represented.
With a smirk playing on Peter's lips, he addressed Galactus, "You know, it might be a good idea to call it quits. You haven't landed a single blow in a while now, and you look like you're about to collapse."
Galactus, his pride still intact, scoffed in defiance, "I REFUSE!" He declared, still catching his breath.
Peter merely shrugged, "Alright, suit yourself. But you asked for it."
In the blink of an eye, Peter disappeared from Galactus's view, reappearing right in front of the cosmic giant. Before Galactus could react, a powerful punch landed square across his face, sending shockwaves through his colossal form.
"What!?" Galactus stammered, taken aback by Peter's unexpected speed.
With a devilish grin, Peter replied, "Is it just me, or are you getting slower?" He then proceeded to unleash a relentless barrage of strikes, a symphony of fists connecting with Galactus's once-invulnerable body.
The next few hours unfolded in a chaotic dance of fists and cosmic energy. Peter, utilizing every bit of his newfound abilities, battered Galactus relentlessly. The once-almighty being, now reduced to a mere punching bag, struggled to retaliate. Blow after blow, Peter demonstrated the mastery he had gained over his enhanced powers.
Despite his diminished state, Galactus refused to give in. Fueled by sheer determination, he attempted counterattacks, but each strike phased through Peter's intangible form. The battlefield echoed with the grunts and roars of the cosmic giant, his futile attempts to regain control growing more desperate with each passing minute.
Amidst the relentless onslaught, Peter taunted, "Come on, Galactus! Is this really all you've got? I expected more from you..."
As Galactus faltered, weakened, and battered, he refused to acknowledge defeat. The once-unyielding force of the universe had been humbled by a being who had transcended his limitations.
Finally, as Galactus teetered on the brink of collapse, Peter delivered a final, resounding blow. A punch fueled by the culmination of hours of combat, a testament to the mastery of his abilities. The cosmic giant staggered, his once-glowing eyes now dimmed, and with a thunderous crash, Galactus crumbled, defeated and unconscious.
Silence settled on the battlefield as Peter stood victoriously over his opponents beaten body. "Huh This fight felt easier than the last" He commented, though it did last longer, so maybe his stamina and healing are just a lot more monstrous than before?
After all, he did go through a total of nine excruciating evolutions to prepare for this, so it made sense why he didn't feel as tired or beaten compared to his battle with the Silver Surfer.
As Galactus lay defeated, knocked out cold, Peter couldn't help but revel in the triumph of his newfound power. But best of all, the bet was won, and he could feel the magical contract taking effect!
