Chapter 396: Entrusting the Orphan of a Star-Eater
Clark's puzzlement lasted only a moment before he understood why the other had come to Earth. In the arms of the silver glider, there was a baby girl, only a few months old!
Moreover, this time his arrival was carefully controlled, keeping his own energy in check and not causing the drastic changes to Earth that had occurred previously.
"Mr. Clark." The silver glider, holding the baby, flew up to Clark and stopped in front of him, bowed deeply, and then said, "On behalf of my master, I bring Ganata to Earth, hoping you can take care of her."
The Ganata mentioned by the silver glider was naturally the infant he was holding. As his words ended, all the Avengers present turned their attention to the baby named Ganata.
The little girl had an Eastern face, yellow skin, black hair, and was adorably chubby.
The moment everyone clearly saw the little girl's face, their gazes simultaneously shifted back to Clark. Particularly Tony, who had been looking for a chance to verbally spar with Clark, his gaze was now particularly lascivious. Though he said nothing, the meaning in his eyes was clear…
Chang Wei, still say you know no martial arts?
Clark felt incredibly wronged by their misunderstanding.
Heaven and earth be my witness, this girl really has nothing to do with me!
Sighing helplessly, Clark asked the silver glider calmly, "Is this Star-Eater's last wish?"
At this, the silver glider nearly fell off his board, hurriedly steadying his mind before saying, "My master only told me that this was the last task he entrusted to me. After completing this task, I would be free. But from what Mr. Clark suggests, has my master already…"
Clark nodded, "I can sense that within the cosmic rules, the part that belonged to Star-Eater has suddenly disappeared, making the originally complete cosmic rules now imperfect. I fear..."
He shook his head, not continuing his words, but everyone present understood his implication.
Star-Eater was likely gone!
Clark's gaze fell on the baby girl in the silver glider's arms, and his stern face finally showed a trace of relief, "This girl indeed has a fate with Earth, keeping her here is not a bad idea..." It seemed he had made a great decision, finally nodding, "So be it! You can leave her here, Earth will be her new home."
The silver glider was overjoyed, quickly setting the baby down on the ground.
As soon as the baby left the silver glider's hands, some kind of seal seemed to be broken, and her body grew rapidly with the wind, transforming in moments from an infant into a girl of sixteen or seventeen. As she developed, a layer of purple metallic armor naturally appeared on her body, matching Star-Eater's armor in style but with a feminine design, looking much more slender and pleasing.
"Uncle Clark." Ganata stood up from the ground, her eyes red, and said softly, "Is what you just said true? My father... he really is dead?"
As the daughter of the planet devourer, Ganata's innate abilities were naturally unlike those of ordinary Earth children. The last time Clark battled with Star-Eater, she was still being nurtured in Star-Eater's womb.
It hadn't been long since, and she could already walk, jump, and talk.
A god's progeny, indeed beyond ordinary.
Just like Lois, who could stand at heights unreachable to others without any effort.
Faced with Ganata's innocent large eyes, Clark was at a loss for words.
Star-Eater's death was almost certain. His final command to the silver glider to send Ganata to Earth for Clark to look after was clear—he knew the fate he was about to face. It was entrusting his legacy!
Of course, Clark owed Star-Eater nothing, and he wasn't obliged to accept his request.
But upon seeing Ganata, he immediately changed his mind.
From the trajectory of Ganata's fate, Clark realized she was also one of Earth's crucial guardians, her importance possibly as great as organizations like the Avengers or the Mage's Temple.
The Avengers would handle threats from the physical plane, the Mage's Temple would resist invasions from other dimensions, and Ganata's presence would act as a healthy barrier for Earth!
It was for this reason that Clark readily agreed to Star-Eater's dying request.
Facing such an innocent girl, Clark couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth, nor could he bear to lie to her.
After hesitating, Clark finally spoke, "Don't worry. As one of the multiverse's five Creation Gods, the Planet Devourer is part of the cosmic laws. In times of great calamity, he might face danger, even sacrifice his life. But once the disaster is over, he will surely be revived."
"
Because a universe without the Planet Devourer is incomplete."
In fact, in the comics, Star-Eater had tried various ways to die, but no matter how he changed his methods of dying, the result was invariably the same—he was always revived.
Thus, Uncle Star seemed pitiable but was actually very tough!
Clark seriously doubted that the screenwriters revived him just so they could kill him off in a new way next time…
Hearing Clark's assurance, Ganata finally broke into a smile.
The dark clouds were swept away.
Although as Star-Eater's daughter, Ganata's physical and intellectual development was much faster than any human's, a child was still a child, and experience was something even divine lineage could not compensate for. In her young mind, there was no concept of deceit, nor understanding of doubt. Besides, what Clark had said was the truth…
For now, Clark let Lois take Ganata back to rest and spend some time chatting with this new member of the Marvel orphanage, to distract her mind. Clark then turned his attention to the silver glider, "Now that your mission for Star-Eater has ended and you've gained your freedom, what are your plans next?"
