Hector King, a man in his 50s, no family or friends to speak of, paralysed from the waist down due to a work-related accident. Now he lived alone with his pup Huskey. But one day, he mistakenly summoned Satan. "Ah, it's been a long time since I was summoned. You found my book? Good, what do you want? Riches? Women? Fame? Strength? Or perhaps, your legs? All at the discounted price of your... soul." Satan offered. Hector, however, didn't need any of that. And so, his answer even shocked Satan, making that smug look disappear. "I... I want you to be my friend." And from there, the friendship that would last eternity started, all at the price of Hector's soul. ... Year 2021, As a mortal, Hector died. But Satan decided to do something crazy, "F*CK IT! You're my best friend, I can't let you die. Hector, I am appointing you as Hell's Inquisitor, a position only under me." ... 1935, Earth Hector found himself in his old original physical body again, but he was now taller and buff. "I-I got a new last name? Hmm, it has a nice ring to it." He muttered. He was, from then on, Hector King Washington. "WOOF!" And the good boy Moony was also there, bigger, buffed and more beautiful.

"Did you kill him?" Diana asked him. She did not want Hector to become too uncaring about another being's life. Hoping to help him control himself whenever she could.
"No, just paused his life for a few minutes. But I don't think this trick will work on Galactus. This is why get ready for a fight if he's not patient."
And so, the ship arrived at Taa II. The hanger for the ship was in their sight, but they didn't go too close. Wonder Woman, Adam, Moony and Hector went out on their own. "Ah, I envy you all who can fly," he was jealous of a wonderful woman.
Meanwhile, Jean was helping Logan fly. It was decided that Natasha and Yelena would stay on the ship. They were not 18 yet; hence, no fighting for them.
They flew to the giant ship and arrived outside its steel walls. They had no idea from where one could enter, so Logan used his Adamantium claws to open a hole in it. The giant structure had its own gravity, it was much more than Earth, and it pressed them down. Thankfully, all of them were not ordinary people.
*BAM*
The last kick from Hector pushed open the hole, revealing the insides. It was like a giant empty pipe. After all, this is where Galactus roams around.
"Great, he lives in a sewer he made for himself," Logan muttered.
"Does he poop? I wonder if it comes out as big as a moon," Jean wondered.
(⊙_(⊙_⊙)_⊙)
Hector, Diana and Adam started at the two in awkwardness. These comments were totally unnecessary.
"Wowowow..." Moony was just laughing his heart out.
"Let's not talk more about it anymore. Keep it civil. We are not here to offend him." He shushed them quickly and continued on the way.
But the whole ship was as big as a solar system. So, they could not be going around searching for him. So, Hector shouted, "GALACTUS! I'VE COME TO BARGAIN!"
*WOOSH*
It seemed Galactus heard him. That's why all of them found their bodies vanishing. It was teleportation; they could feel it. The feeling it gave was that of freefall from the sky.
Soon enough, they again found ground under their feet and in front of them was the giant throne, on which sat an even bigger being, Galactus. He looked weird, and it was unknown if the colourful patterns on his body were his skin or clothes. If they were clothes, Hector wanted to know who the fuck sewed them.
"Who dares stand before me?"
Hector replied similarly, "Standeth before thee, Hector King Washington."
Jean tried to hold her laughter, but a squeak still leaked.
"I do not know you, not care to know why you have come. Where is my herald?" Galactus asked him.
Hector nodded at Moony. The good boy started waving his paw, and the circle appeared a few metres in the air in no time. From it dropped the body of Silver Surfer.
"Just a second," Hector sent the soul back to the body. The Soul Stones had many abilities. One of them can trap souls inside itself in an idyllic world named Soul World.
But when Silver Surfer woke up, another effect of the Soul Stone became apparent. It was the ability to revert beings to their natural state. Hence, now Silver Surfer lost all the mental manipulation mumbo jumbo that Galactus did.
He simply fell down to his knees, devastated, "I killed all those planets... those people. YOU ATE THEM!"
"It is my nature to eat, not to think about what I eat. To me, planets are the same as food to puny beings. The mortals in them are nothing but spices," Galactus replied, completely unhinged by the Silver Surfer's remarks.
"YOU ARE MAD!"
"I am nature,"
Hector sighed, "Galactus, I want you to go and eat Tarnax VI at this very instant."
(•ˋ _ ˊ•)
The Silver Surfer looked back at Hector as if he had just asked for Galactus' heart. "YOU MAD MAN! You came here to feed this monster?"
"Hey, I will evacuate the planet first. Besides, this is the best thing possible, as my grand scheme will save trillions of lives in the process." Hector argued with him.
"I need no mortal to tell me what I shall and shan't eat. I..."
Hector interrupted him, "No, that was not asking; that was an order. You see, I have so many ways to kill you right now. First of all, you're hungry. Second, we got the Phoenix Force here; third, we got Wonder Woman with Green Lanter's ring. Fourth, there is I with a soul stone.
"You may have Power Cosmic as your core, but it can still be affected by the stone, as it represents the peak power of the soul."
"You can't kill me, not with that little gem," Galactus said.
"I don't want to kill you. I just need to trap your soul and wait for your physical body to die from hunger. Or I can just tell Wonder Woman here to use the ring's reality manipulation power to kill you," he smugly replied, his plan being rock solid. Galactus had no way out.
"Can I do that?" Diana exclaimed in shock.
~Fuck!~ Hector cursed in his head. He thought Wonder Woman would know all the ring's capabilities. "Yes, it is the strongest object in the universe, and your will defines its power. You can even travel back in time with it. Though I don't think you can bring back something erased from existence."
He clarified at the end, just not to get her hopes up. Still, she was very amazed, "This is... amazing. I need to explore this ring more, it seems."
*WOOSH*
Just then, Galactus used his Power Cosmic to remove Hector from existence. After all, it allows him to produce nearly any effect he desires, including size-alteration, the molecular restructuring and transmutation of matter, the teleportation of objects—even entire galaxies—across space and time, the creation of force fields, the creation of interdimensional portals, telepathy, telekinesis, and cosmic awareness on a universal scale.
He was hella overpowered. But that doesn't mean he can just yeet an omniversal being out of existence. For that, one needed to have absolute rule over this Universe, something Galactus didn't have. After all, there were many characters even above him in power ranking.
Hector laughed, "Bwahaha... foolish giant. Now it's my turn,"
He pulled out the soul stone from his pocket. It was shining brighter than the sun today as Galactus had the juiciest soul it had ever encountered. Hector pointed his fist towards Galactus and willed the soul to be sucked into the stone.
Some sort of light radiated from Galactus' body, but he didn't seem to be bothered in the slightest about it. Instead, he simply stared Hector in the eye, silently wondering why his powers didn't work on him. ~What could he be,~ was all he thought.
"AH! His eye light went off!" Jean exclaimed.
*WOOSH*
However, Hector, Moony and Diana also disappeared at that very moment, as if they had teleported away.
"Where did they go?"
Logan just sat down and lit a cigar, "Ugh... as always; nothing goes straight. Calm down. They will be fine. Silver boy, want's a puff?"
"Are you serious? This is big; even Moony is gone," Jean freaked out.
Yes, Logan felt a bit worried for Moony, but shrugged, "It's okay, it happens all the time. He probably brought the wrath of some other powerful being."
...
Somewhere unknown,
Hector appeared to be standing in the middle of space. There were a lot of shining galaxies and cosmic clouds around them. But, the real deal was the golden being, bigger than the sun, sitting on a throne.
The being's aura radiated authority and power, also its wisdom. Hector had already realised who it was, as the being represented one of the top powers in the entire Marvel multiverse.
Its eyes shone, and it spoke, "You three stand before the one who oversees and maintains balance in the realities. For being intruders and destroying the balance of the Universe, you three stand for judgement before the Living Tribunal,"
Moony gave no damn to this glowing giant. He was heaven's doggo, protected by the god himself. Though he was confused about one thing, "Bow woo woo wuf?"
Hector burst into uncontrolled laughter. Gone was the seriousness that he managed to bring out, "Pfft... Bwahahaha... come on, Moony. Think about the damn timing before asking questions. Of course, he's naked and doesn't have a penis. He doesn't need one. Goddamn,"
"Wow bow!"
"Son, that's not something you are supposed to be curious about." He scolded him.
But then Diana innocently poured oil on the fire: "Is that golden colour his real clothes or his skin?"
