A few months later, when I was trying to fine tune my echolocation, I ask, "Hey Uatu? You remember how you said Cosmic Energy is the source of all energy, except one? What's that one energy?"

Uatu pauses in his own meditation, and starts explaining, "The Power Cosmic is something that I know nothing of, and nor do any of the beings currently within the Universe. What we know is mostly guess work, and observations by survivors."

Damn, Power Cosmic. Isn't that something Galactus uses? Hesitating a bit, I ask, "Survivors of what?"

Uatu finally opens his eyes, and looking at me gravely, he says, "Galactus. The Devourer of Worlds. He is the sole Entity within this Universe that uses the Power Cosmic. Although, he can bestow it upon others of his choosing, turning them into his heralds."

Pausing a second, Uatu continues explaining, "Although his origins are unknown, even to us Watchers, we think that he is the sole survivor of the destruction of the previous Universe. They say, that when he was bathed in the energy of the Singularity of the Cosmic Crunch, he was turned into what we know today as Galactus."

Uatu then uses his Cosmic Energy to show me an illusion, of Galactus in all his glory, towering over a planet, and swallowing it by breathing it in. I gulp, just at the thought of facing someone like him.

"As his name suggests, Galactus eats entire worlds, and everything it contains. The Power Cosmic has cursed Galactus with eternal Hunger for life sustaining energy, so he has to eat them to survive." Uatu pauses, looks at me seriously, and says, "Pray that you never encounter him, Theos. Even if he's a necessary part of the Universe, he won't think twice before killing and eating you."

This.. really makes me realize something. I had thought before, a lot of times, that if Galactus just wants Energy to satiate his hunger, why not just eat the stars. They have thousands, sometimes millions of times more life sustaining energy, whatever it is, than any planet around.

Paling at my realization, I whisper, "He eats the Celestial Eggs, doesn't he? To prevent overpopulation of Celestials, and bring balance to the Universe."

Uatu nods, not saying anything on the topic, and instead says, "The Power Cosmic is vastly superior to pure Cosmic Energy, but just like anything else, it all depends on the ones using it. This.. is the only power not derived from the Cosmic Energy."

Looking at the still floating illusion of Galactus, I gulp a bit of saliva, and think to myself, 'Guess I'll just stay away from this guy.'

--- Time Skip: 30 Years---

Honestly, this has been the longest time period I've ever trained on one subject. Cosmic Energy is just that massive of a subject!

By now, I've gotten pretty proficient in handling the Cosmic Energy, at least I think so. I mean, my control is pretty tight, and I haven't had an accident in 23 years!

Cosmic Energy is not something that is as versatile as Magic is, but it is a lot stronger than Magic. Obviously, it depends on the user too. Agamotto, with his Magic can defeat my Cosmic Energy with his hands tied behind his back. Same with Mother.

But, Uatu is someone that is just a bit stronger than Agamotto, but just a bit weaker than Mother, I think I've gathered that much during these years.

The planet had gotten a lot greener in these years, with life already beginning to start living. After 30 years though, it was just a few insects, and smaller fish deep within the oceans. Mother did bring some of our home planet's species here, so they can evolve to live here.

Even Uatu was helpful, as he wanted to observe how the same species evolves differently on two different planets. Thanks to that, I had also managed to see my first Dragon, and boy was I surprised.

The dragons in Marvel are fucking huge! Like, the group of Dragons I saw were all about 40 feet long. 40 feet is not as small as you think it is!

Thankfully, being the son of Gaea, I had no cause to fear them, and they did not harm me either.

After I had managed to encompass the entire planetary mass, it's atmosphere, and it's 3 moons using my Echolocation, Uatu had me doing harder exercises.

At first, it was just fire Destructive blasts at the target, which slowly evolved to fire restructuring blasts, and repair the targets. These two exercises by themselves took me a few years to master.

After that, was giving life to things, which, according to me at least, is a really big jump. According to Uatu, who himself can't use the Energy for this purpose, 'A Celestial's purpose in life is to seed the Universe with life, and make sure it prospers. So, bringing the dead animals to life, or creating small insects out of nothing is very basic for a young one like you.'

Yeah, that took like 5 years by itself. Resurrection of the dead is fairly easy, consequences of it, not so much. The first few times I brought a small hare back to life, nothing happened.

But, after the 50th or so time of doing the same, I had gotten a feeling of dread all around me, and felt like I was going to die immediately. It was so intense, that I was ready to take my own life if it meant stopping the feeling.

That was, until Agamotto portaled in, and killed the hare by throwing a knife. As soon as the hare died, the feeling of dread was gone, and I was left in sweat. Uatu, as usual, was still relaxed.

When asked, he just said, "Celestials are given a certain leeway while dealing with Death, but it can only stretch so far. Repeatedly Killing and resurrecting the same being amounts to making a mockery out of Death, which she does not like."

I figured that last part out by myself, funnily enough.

Anyway, creating new beings out of nothing would have been hard for me, if I wasn't who I am.

The Son of Gaea.

I'm literally connected to the planet, planets when you count Earth. I know how each and every living being on the planet works, down to their tiniest cell. Well, I did, when I learned about them using my Echolocation.

So, I was able to use my practice creating new material thanks to the repairing exercise, and use the Resurrection exercise to create new life, out of nothing. Currently, I could just create up to small animals, like cats. Anything bigger, and it gets too complex while Creating.

This took like 3 years in all, which wasn't much long if you see how much I achieved during the time.

And now that my control is good enough, according to Uatu, I was finally going to learn something I've been looking forward to, and dreading.

Matter Manipulation.

When I used the Cosmic Energy to repair stuff, I mostly just focused my intent and fired a single blast at the object, willing it to work. Sort of like Magic, without the actual spell.

For resurrection, I used the Cosmic Energy to mimic the Soul of the hare, and using resonance, called the Soul to it's body from.. wherever it is.

These exercises don't use much control, but can be used as training exercises instead. Same with everything I've done until this point in time. Even flying using my Cosmic Energy, instead of Magic. I won't say much, but it was pretty boring. Cosmic Energy negates the air drag, and I haven't tried minimizing it in return.

So, yeah, I can go pretty fast, but I won't exactly feel it happen. And I'm all about the feeling of flying.

Anyway, back to Matter Manipulation. According to Uatu, Matter Manipulation is predominantly depended on the fine control of Cosmic Energy, which I now have. Once I manage this, I will be ready to learn the last parts of the training, and then let Uatu leave back to his.. watching duties.

A good news, I hadn't had to wear the armour compulsorily in a while now. When I had woken up from my Cosmic awakening, I had instinctively realized that the Armour has more functions than just containing the Energy, and that they were locked up. But, even after all these years, I still hadn't found out how I can activate it completely.

Not even after I'd managed the repairing exercise, and used it on the armour did it work. So, other than being more durable than normal Divine armour, it was just plain old armour that contains my energy securely.

Obviously, I was still leaking a lot of Cosmic Energy out, so I still had to wear the armour. No matter how useless it was. But since the last 3 years, I haven't worn it at all.

"Are you ready?" Uatu asks, looking at me floating in the air, a foot above the ground.

It was a good method of getting used to using Cosmic Energy, and fine tune my control. Plus, it was fun to look so mystical.

I nod at Uatu, who sits down on the mat, and welcomes me to sit down in front of him.

He explains, "Matter Manipulation is considered the niche of Cosmic Powers. Every Cosmic being learns to do it. There are two types of it. Doing it gently, bit by bit, by using trickles of Cosmic Energy, and doing it in an instant, by firing blasts of Cosmic Energy. The second part you've already experienced, when you repaired whatever you broke apart. But now, begins the hard part."

Pausing dramatically, Uatu floats a big rock from the side, towards me, and says, "I want you to try and restructure this rock in the shape of yourself. Be gentle with the Energy, and first try and do it using the first method."

Sighing, I just shrug to myself, and gather Cosmic Energy in my hand. Touching the rock with my empowered hand, I close my eyes and get to work. Hopefully, this takes a shorter time than the previous ones.

A/N: Well, this training arc is coming to an end. I hope this doesn't make him too OP. I know, I already made him too OP when I made him half Celestial, half Elder God, but still.. he's comparatively weaker than the other beings around the world. Heck, even Unworthy Thor can kill him right now.

Speaking of Unworthy Thor, in the comics, Jarnbjorn, when blessed with Thor's blood, managed to cut into Apocalypse's armour, and then through a Celestial, killing him. So, should it not be able to cut through the Proto Adamantium shield of Captain America?? Just saying..

Anyway, Tata!
