Nolan searched everywhere for Lucifer's whereabouts but found nothing, ultimately having to give up in frustration.
He returned to the Villa, eager to confide in Pamela and soothe his wounded heart.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, Nolan saw Venom standing there, meticulously polishing the blade of the Black Death Sword.
The cold gleam reflected from the sword's body illuminated Venom's half-smile, causing Nolan to swallow with difficulty.
"Damn it, how could I forget about this?"
"Quick, think of a way. This time, I might really die."
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind: "That's right, find Pamela!" Nolan feigned composure and asked, "Venom, have You seen Pamela?"
Venom sneered, her laughter carrying a hint of coldness.
"Looking for help? It's just the two of us in the entire Villa right now. Everyone else is either shopping or resting comfortably at Gwen's house. They won't be back for at least a day."
"..." Despair surged through Nolan's heart.
"Don't be afraid. We have a lot to do next, and You won't have time to worry about anyone else."
"...Can I at least have a complete corpse?"
"You'll have to ask them."
After Venom finished speaking, the surrounding environment turned dark, engulfing Nolan.
—
One day later.
"Wuwu, Pamela, I miss You so much! Venom Sister is simply not human; she doesn't treat me like a person at all!"
As soon as Nolan saw Pamela, he clung to her like a drowning man to a straw, burying his face in her embrace and crying loudly like a wronged child.
Although only one day had passed, it felt to him as if he had endured an entire year.
During this year, he had been tormented by Venom in various ways, and the continuous "torture" made him utterly miserable.
"Venom Jie was never human to begin with."
Pamela smiled helplessly, gently stroking Nolan's head to comfort his distressed emotions.
With Pamela's comfort, Nolan felt much better. He hugged Gwen, who was nearby, keeping his distance from Venom, as he was now somewhat afraid of her.
Venom also began to wonder if she had gone too far, overdoing it with this guy.
"Kara, are You a Kryptonian?"
Black Phoenix asked curiously.
"Mm, yes."
Kara was a bit shy.
"Then do You want to eat this?"
Galan took out her little Sun.
"I eat normal food."
Kara politely declined with a smile.
"Alright, Kryptonian are truly a fascinating race. They can grow stronger and replenish energy just by basking in the Sun."
Galan said with envy and curiosity.
The next moment, Galan was gently embraced by a hand, dragged from the sofa, and settled onto Nolan's lap.
"You're not bad either; Galactus's potential is very high."
Nolan said with a smile, and as he spoke, he handed Galan a life fruit.
Galan took the fruit and began to munch on it with relish.
"What good is high potential? I've been hungry for hundreds of years. It's not like I can actually eat this entire Universe, right?"
Galan mumbled, her mouth full of fruit pulp.
"It's not impossible, but Galan, have You gained weight?"
Nolan said, reaching out to gently pinch Galan's lower abdomen. It felt fleshy and soft, a very pleasant sensation.
"It seems so, I've been eating quite well lately."
Galan didn't seem to mind gaining weight. She continued to sit on Nolan's lap, happily eating her fruit.
Suddenly, a soft light glowed from Galan's lower abdomen, and a ball of light leaped out from within her, slowly transforming in the air, eventually taking the form of a little girl who bore an eighty percent resemblance to Galan.
She was even wearing a small purple armor.
The little girl's eyes sparkled with brilliant starlight, like the most dazzling stars in the vast Universe, exceptionally eye-catching.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'm hungry~"
The little girl's milky voice echoed in the living room.
"Ah? Oh. You eat some fruit first to tide You over, Daddy will go prepare the milk powder."
Nolan was startled at first, then reacted, gently placing the somewhat dazed Galan on the sofa.
He picked up the little girl sitting on the floor, placed her next to Galan, and then rushed off to prepare the milk powder.
Everyone around them remained stunned.
"That Galan, is that how all Galactus are born?"
Gwen looked at the little girl, who was eating in the same posture as Galan.
"I don't know?"
Galan looked at the mini-version of herself next to her, responding blankly.
"When did You get pregnant? Why didn't we know?" Pamela asked.
"...I don't know either."
Galan tilted her head, thinking. She truly didn't know when she got pregnant; it was just that her appetite had greatly increased recently.
"Galan, I don't remember giving You Nolan's genetic material, but why do I feel Nolan's aura on this child?"
Venom touched the little girl's head in confusion. The little girl was very well-behaved, concentrating on gnawing on the fruit, looking utterly famished.
"I don't know?"
Galan was also clueless. She didn't even know when she got pregnant. She usually ate and drank well and wouldn't bother checking her body for no reason.
The little girl finished her fruit and suddenly spoke.
"I am the new Galactus. I started as a cosmic parasite within Mommy's body, constantly growing by absorbing Mommy's cosmic energy. During that time, I received and absorbed Daddy's energy.
Coupled with the fact that Mother has been eating very well recently, I felt it was about time, so I came out."
Though just born, her thoughts were remarkably clear. She even gave a simple self-introduction and explained the situation, her expression very serious, looking like a little adult.
Venom looked at her starlit eyes, which had inherited Nolan's Mimir's Eye.
"Here, the milk is ready. Do You want to drink it now?"
Nolan brought out a half-human-tall cup. Considering Galactus's appetite, it contained not only milk but also life fruit pulp and solid cosmic energy powder.
As soon as she saw the milk, which could serve as spaceship fuel, the little girl's serious expression instantly vanished. Saliva drooled from the corners of her mouth, and she eagerly pounced on it.
"Yes, I want to drink it, thank You, Daddy!"
Standing on a stool, she hugged the straw and gulped it down, looking absolutely adorable.
Pamela pulled Galan back, who was also drooling and wanting to join in the eating, with a mix of laughter and exasperation.
"Galan, don't snatch your own child's food."
"She snatched so much energy from me when she was in my belly; I need to snatch it back."
Galan complained discontentedly.
However, Nolan quickly placed an identical serving of milk in front of her. Galan's face immediately lit up with joy, and she picked up the cup, happily drinking just like the little girl.
The mother and daughter were exactly alike in this regard.
