章 401: Bomb

That attack didn't actually hurt anyone but it did give some time for Black Winter to pressurise Galactus more. And Black Winter succeeded in this small change as he used more devouring power on Galactus. It threw Galactus away by thousands of miles.

All the Avengers and the others were horrified by this. They saw Galactus, such a huge being being flung away. But that was not the main point of this attack, Galactus who had been healthy all this time now looked totally spent. His cheeks caved in as if he had been starving for a long time. He eyes looked hollow and his outer armor too looked big for his size.

And that was not all, he had lost both his hands in this single attack by Black Winter. All of them really looked desperate now. Even the huge devourer of worlds couldn't stop Black Winter, what chances did the ants have?

John had just used his full power on Black Winter but that too wasn't enough. It only made his size smaller, and it looked like it didn't weaken him at all.

"Galactus, use your trump card." John said using his helmet of Fate. He didn't want Black Winter to listen to the conversation. He knew even though Galactus looked weak, he was conscious.

"I can't. I wanted to use the infinity stones to bomb him from inside but I don't think I will be able to do it. We might as well die and accept our fate." Galactus said as his voice seemed like it would banish away any moment.

"Not for a moment give up on me right now. You wanted to bomb Black WInter. Right? Alright. I will do something about it." John said as he finally understood the plan of Galactus. He thought Galactus would eat the infinity stones and make himself more powerful.

But Galactus had other plans for it. He wanted to use the infinity stones as a bomb and place it inside the body of Black Winter and thus triggering it later remotely. But it seemed he never got the chance. That was the reason why Galactus tried to have a close combat with Black Winter.

"Avengers, we need someone to go inside Black Winter and place the infinity stones as bomb. Only that explosion will be enough to kill him." John gave good and bad news at the same time to all of the people.

"Who will take that risk?" Arthur asked.

There was complete silence. And as they were contemplating this, monsters again started emerging to attack them. It seemed like Black Winter was in a mood of playing with them by sending these small mercenaries.

All the Green Lanterns and Avengers went to confront all the monsters.. A green lantern said over the ring

"Whatever you decide, do it fast. He will get bored with his food after some time and it won't take a moment to kill us."

"I will do it." the next moment many such voices came. Many green lanterns were up for this thing. And even some of the Avengers. But before they could choose a huge voice rang on the ears of everybody

"Move, you ants, I will do it. Only a devourer can kill another devourer."

When they realised who it was they were surprised. It was Trigon. Even though he was under the control of John, his nature didn't change. That was the reason why everybody was surprised to hear such comments.

"Whatever you do, do it fast. We don't have much time." Wayne said, reminding everybody that the number of monsters were increasing.

"Wayne, Clark. Go, get the infinity stones from Galactus. I will irritate him one more time. This will give Trigon enough time to get the infinity stones. And later when he attacks, Trigon can go inside and finish the job." John said. He too actually didn't expect that Trigon would be up for the job. Like all others, he too had given partial freedom to Trigon.

But still like he did in Apokolips war, he decided to sacrifice himself for the greater good and his daughter.

John, meanwhile, opened the gate of Babylon to bring out another weapon. Sul-sagana, a large jagged divine construct sword which on attacking burns away everything.

John didn't know if fire was effective on Black Winter but he wanted to try, as his main power was more leaning towards fire. John even decided to use the philosopher's stone for this.

He flew high up close to the Black Winter while Wayne and Clark went to the almost unconscious Galactus to take the infinity stones. Only they can fly fast in open space and touch the infinity stones without problems.

"Your courage is commendable but even you can't stop me with all your power." Black Winter said to John who was holding Sul-Sagana.

"Maybe. Maybe we all will die. Death comes to all at the end. But death doesn't define us. It's our life that makes living worth living and we will continue to defy death until our last breath." saying that John attacked Black Winter.
