The balance
"Now can we talk?" John said and like Galactus his voice too travelled without any problems across space. Both Galactus and Norrin were taken aback by this sudden change. They didn't expect that John was able to do such a thing and both could feel that John's powers were like them.
"What are you?" Galactus asked as he got intrigued by this new host of Phoenix force. He had never seen such a being ever before.
"A celestialsapien." A voice again said which sounded like it was said by three different beings.
"Celestial? Do you belong to that race?" Galactus asked as he thought John belonged to the Celestials.
"Don't categorise me with them. I never have any connection with them." John answered and this time with a bit of anger.
"Let's leave my origins. We both have unspeakable origins. But the problem is I know of your origins. Galan of Taa." John said. Galactus' eyes squinted as John said his real name out loud. He never expected someone totally out of nowhere knew his actual name.
"Never expected an unknown guy would know my origins. So what of it? I don't think it matters where I came from." Galactus replied.
"It doesn't. You did what you had to do to survive. But the problem is you made a deal with the devil." John replied. Galactus looked at John with more stoic eyes now. He had done many things in the past and he made many bad decisions. He just wasn't sure what John was referring to so he was silent. John seeing that Galactus was silent and refused to speak said
"Black Winter is coming."
"What did you say?" Galactus shouted out loud. He was visibly shaken when John spoke about Black Winter.
"You heard me right. Your master is coming." John said. Galactus got agitated when John said that Black Winter was his master. He never spoke of this to anyone. Nobody knew of it.
Until now. He became angry when John said that Black Winter was his master. He hated being a part of him. And John just reminded him that.
Galactus then did not know what to do when John said that directly punched John. And John, who was expecting this attack, blocked him with his hands. And then after blocking him, punched back. This punch hit Galactus right at his face. This small move was enough to push Galactus back.
But that wasn't the highlight of all this. The highlight was the nearby planets and asteroids got destroyed into nothingness. This attack was felt by most of the planets nearby. Galactus who was pushed back was ready to hit John again but before he could do that a person appeared right in front of them.
A person of the same size as them.
A person who had three heads levitating over the shoulder with no neck. The other two heads were covered while others could see only his one face. The body looked golden in color.
Yes!! The Living Tribunal, the judge of the multiverse was here.
John's eyes squinted when he saw this because he knew this guy. This was the 'Living Tribunal'. The actual balance controller of the multiverse. The person who never interfered until there was imbalance in the universe.
"Can you guys calm down?" the Living Tribunal spoke.
"He was the one trying to hit me." John just shrugged his shoulders when he said that. Galactus, who was ready to hit John, stopped. Even though he wasn't afraid of the Living Tribunal, he didn't want to get on the wrong side of such a guy.
"Sorry, I couldn't hold myself when he said Black Winter was my master." Galactus said.
"Did I say a lie? You are his herald. You have been hiding from him since this multverse started. Hiding and thinking he would go away. And now he is back. Hungry for my universe." John said.
"How? How do you know this? Nobody knew of this. Nobody!!!" Galactus said.
"How I know doesn't matter. What I want to know is what will you do about this matter?" John asked. Galactus was silent for sometime, but finally clenched his teeth and hands.
"Of course I will fight against him. Me, being an herald of him doesn't mean anything. My powers are not fueled by him." Galactus said with a hint of pride. His Power Cosmic was really wasn't fueled by Black Winter but by the Eternity from the previous multiverse.
"But your hunger is fueled by Black Winter." John responded. Galactus became silent when John accused him of that. His hunger for worlds was really fueled by it.
"Why are you here?" John asked now to the Living Tribunal who was watching the conversation of both of them. He too didn't know that Galactus was the herald of Black Winter. This was a total new information for him. (He is omnipotent but the moment John became the host his omnipotence lost on John and all the other Gods)
"I am here to stop you from causing more havoc in the universe." the Living Tribunal said. his tone was bland so John didn't know if he was angry or sad.
"They deserved it." John said as he understood what the Living Tribunal meant.
