Meanwhile, Karl had no idea that Arnim Zola was already preparing his revenge against the world.
Karl had been ignoring most outside information lately.
His daily routine had become extremely simple.
Wake up.
Relax.
Spend time with the women in the manor.
And most importantly—
Think about what to eat next.
But one day, something unexpected happened.
A young girl with black hair and purple eyes appeared outside the gates of Karl's manor.
Yelena and Natasha immediately noticed her.
"Hey, little sister," Yelena said cautiously.
"What are you doing here?"
"You can't enter this place."
Both women were confused.
They hadn't sensed her arrival at all.
Not even their spider-sense had reacted.
The little girl tilted her head.
"Really?"
"But I'm so hungry… so hungry… so hungry."
She held her stomach.
"There's delicious food inside."
"I want to eat."
Natasha glanced at Yelena.
Then she walked to the nearby lounge and brought out a plate of food.
She handed it to the girl.
The girl immediately swallowed the entire plate in one bite.
Plate included.
Natasha and Yelena instantly stepped back in shock.
That was definitely not normal.
Inside the manor, Karl had already noticed the unusual disturbance at the gate.
He casually released his mental power to examine the situation.
The moment his consciousness touched the little girl—
Karl froze.
What he sensed was not a human.
Not even a living organism in the normal sense.
It was like staring into an endless cosmic black hole.
A bottomless void that was constantly devouring everything.
Karl immediately fell off his stool.
The next second—
He appeared directly at the gate.
Karl forced a bright smile onto his face.
"Little princess…"
"What are you doing on Earth?"
"Does your father know you're here?"
"Why don't you go play on another planet?"
"Earth really doesn't taste good."
"Trust me."
Yelena and Natasha stared at Karl in shock.
They had never seen Karl act like this before.
Especially toward a little girl.
Could it be that even Karl wasn't confident about dealing with her?
Both women immediately became alert.
The girl smiled.
"You know me?"
"I know you too."
"You're the strongest superhero on this planet."
"Can you feed me?"
"I'm really hungry~"
Her innocent smile nearly made Karl activate his Gold Cloth armor out of pure instinct.
Karl forced himself to stay calm.
"Little ancestor… come inside first."
"I'll take you somewhere with plenty of food."
Then Karl's tone suddenly turned cold.
He spoke to Speed's projection nearby.
"Speed."
"Monitor every location she has passed through."
"Also scan the entire internet—dark web and open web."
"If anyone attempts to harm her or exploit her…"
"They die."
"Understood, Boss."
Speed's projection nodded immediately before disappearing.
Even Speed had never seen Karl behave this seriously.
Natasha and Yelena exchanged stunned looks.
Karl had mentioned her father.
And even used the word planet.
Could she be an alien?
Was her father someone even Karl couldn't afford to offend?
Karl was literally Earth's strongest being.
If Karl knew what they were thinking, he would probably thank them for their confidence in him.
Because the truth was even more ridiculous.
This little girl was Ganata.
Also known in some cosmic records as Galacta.
The daughter of Galactus.
The Devourer of Worlds.
One of the five primordial cosmic entities of the universe.
Ganata possessed the same cosmic abilities as her father.
Meaning she could devour entire planets.
And she was still just a child.
Even in her immature state, she was likely at least Single-Universe level.
Karl couldn't even offend her, let alone her father.
Galactus himself was a cosmic entity older than civilizations.
If Galactus personally arrived on Earth—
Karl would immediately take his wives and run away.
Fighting him?
Karl had never even considered it.
People often talked about how the Fantastic Four once defeated Galactus.
But that was misleading.
The Galactus they faced was merely one of countless manifestations, weakened and manipulated.
The real Galactus was something far beyond that.
So when Ganata appeared on Earth—
Karl almost had a heart attack.
The reason Karl ordered Speed to monitor the entire network was simple.
He was afraid some idiot would accidentally anger this little cosmic princess.
If she became upset and called her father—
Earth might disappear before anyone understood what happened.
Soon, Karl brought Ganata to the manor's dining hall.
He immediately ordered the chefs:
"Cook everything."
"Everything edible."
"Now."
Plates of food quickly filled the table.
Ganata began eating immediately.
She devoured everything without hesitation.
Yet she continued staring at Karl with her large purple eyes.
Karl was secretly thinking about how to send her away peacefully.
Just then—
His phone rang.
It was Tony Stark.
"Hey, Karl."
Tony sounded confused.
"Why is Speed monitoring the entire global network?"
"What's going on?"
"Did something happen?"
Speed's large-scale network movements had naturally been detected by JARVIS.
Tony immediately assumed something serious had happened.
Karl sighed.
"A little devil came to Earth."
"She showed up at my manor gate."
"Thankfully it was my gate."
"Otherwise, by the time anyone noticed…"
"Earth would already be gone."
Tony nearly dropped his phone.
"What?!"
"Earth gone?!"
"Who the hell is that powerful?"
Then JARVIS projected an image of the girl.
Tony frowned.
"That little girl?"
"What's special about her?"
Karl replied calmly.
"She has a miniature universe inside her stomach."
"She can eat literally anything."
"She is always hungry."
"And her father…"
"…is one of the five primordial creator gods."
"Devouring Earth would be one bite for her."
"Maybe she could even do it herself already."
"So yes."
"She's very special."
"Even I have to treat her like royalty."
Tony's stunned voice came through the phone.
"My God…"
"The daughter of a cosmic god?"
"Earth really hit the jackpot this time."
"So what do we do?"
"We can't let her stay on Earth forever."
"What if she…"
Tony didn't finish the sentence.
But Karl understood perfectly.
Karl nodded slowly.
Yes.
Tony's worry was valid.
But the problem was—
Karl couldn't just force her to leave.
Even if he could somehow win a fight…
What if she got angry and decided to eat the planet?
That would be the true end of the world.
And right now—
Ganata was still staring at Karl with wide purple eyes.
While casually devouring her twenty-seventh plate of food.
