Marvel: My Luck Is A Hundred Million Points Better!-Chapter 165 Galactus: Thank You!
Chapter 165 - 165 Galactus: Thank You!
The Planet Devourer finally understood Luo Bai's intention. This guy simply wanted to use him as a sustainable energy source for the power of fairies!
As a cosmic god, Galactus had his own pride, not to mention that he was followed by a group of heralds.
Even if Luo Bai was lucky enough to become the host of fairy power, he was still, at his core, just a creature from Earth.
If he really allowed the power of fairies to continuously drain his energy, he would become a laughingstock across the multiverse.
Thinking of this, Galactus' expression darkened.
He frowned and stared at Luo Bai with sharp eyes, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Earthling, have you considered the consequences of doing this?!"
Luo Bai had clearly anticipated his reaction, so he responded calmly, "Of course, I've thought about it. And I know you won't agree. But I think we can have a discussion."
Galactus remained silent, lost in thought.
After a moment, he seemed to compromise.
"I can promise to leave Earth alone and never set foot on it again in my lifetime," he said.
If it had been any other planet's inhabitant hearing these words, they would have been ecstatic with gratitude.
But Luo Bai simply frowned.
To him, Galactus was nothing more than an invader.
Not only had he attempted to devour Earth, but he also planned to wipe out billions of lives in the process.
And the worst part?
Luo Bai had warned him in advance.
Yet Galactus ignored him and still sent his heralds to lead an invasion.
Now, after everything, he expected to settle it all with a simple promise—"I won't invade again"?
Not only did it sound ridiculous, but even in the original timeline, Galactus had made similar promises before... and broken them every time.
His word meant nothing.
Luo Bai couldn't help but sneer. "You make it sound like you're doing Earth some great favor."
Galactus, oblivious to the sarcasm, responded seriously, "Giving up on devouring Earth is already a kindness."
At this point, Luo Bai didn't feel like talking anymore.
His expression darkened as he activated the fairy power in his mind.
The moment it received the command, the fairy power surged toward Galactus like a ravenous beast.
A black energy wave engulfed Galactus' massive body at an alarming speed.
Having already consumed too much energy earlier, he was too weak to resist.
He could feel the energy in his body being drained, and he could already predict his fate.
Just like before—he would be completely devoured, die, and then resurrect.
Truthfully, Galactus didn't fear death.
He had died more times than he could count since his existence began.
Since Luo Bai couldn't truly kill him, Galactus had already planned for his inevitable resurrection.
He even spat out some last words with defiance. "Earthling, I gave you a choice, but you refused it. Do you really think you can absorb my energy forever?!"
"Right now, you only defeated me because I'm starving. But once I restore my energy, do you actually think you can stand against me again?!"
"I will return to Earth!"
"I will not die!"
Galactus' roar echoed with fury.
Then, closing his eyes, he accepted his temporary demise.
But what he didn't expect was...
Luo Bai didn't follow the script.
Just when the fairy power was about to completely drain him, Luo Bai suddenly stopped.
Galactus: "?????"
He was utterly confused.
"Why... Why did you stop?!" he demanded.
He had been just a breath away from "death"—so why had Luo Bai suddenly halted the process?
Still disoriented, Galactus stared at Luo Bai in disbelief.
And then, Luo Bai smiled and said, "I told you before—killing you is meaningless to me. Keeping you alive, on the other hand, is much more useful."
Galactus: "!!!!!"
Seriously.
Hearing those words, he felt the urge to curse.
He originally thought Luo Bai planned to completely drain him, let him resurrect, and then repeat the process endlessly.
But he never expected—
Luo Bai actually stopped just short of killing him!
In essence, Galactus' hunger was quite similar to the hunger of fairy power.
To put it simply—
Even if they were both "not full," there was a difference between being 70% hungry and 30% hungry.
In the past, Galactus' hunger didn't escalate this quickly. He could sustain himself by devouring uninhabited planets.
But as time passed, his energy consumption increased exponentially, and his hunger cycles became shorter.
That was why he now needed to devour inhabited planets—their life force provided stronger energy.
However, every time he died and resurrected, his body essentially reset.
That meant his hunger wouldn't kick in as fast.
But now, Luo Bai didn't let him die.
He left him on the brink of starvation, keeping him just barely alive.
And what did that mean?
It meant that next time, when Galactus returned to Earth...
He'd already be starving.
After being devoured by the power of the goblin, his hunger had reached a critical level—he was on the verge of starving to death.
But the most frustrating part was that no matter how hungry Galactus became, he would never actually die of starvation.
Instead, he would be tormented by an endless hunger.
At this point, dying outright would have been a relief.
But now... this was the ultimate torture!
As the hunger within him grew stronger, Galactus's face twisted in agony.
He muttered repeatedly, "I'm so hungry... I need to eat... I'm starving..."
It was clear just by looking at him—Galactus was utterly drained. His once-powerful form now appeared frail, his complexion sallow, and his massive figure visibly emaciated.
Seeing him in this state, Luo Bai smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, "Although you invaded Earth and tried to destroy it, as the Sorcerer Supreme, I feel it is my duty—out of humanitarianism—to leave you a path to survival."
"But don't misunderstand—I have no intention of forgiving you. In fact, I'll be coming back for another round of energy absorption soon."
Galactus: "..."
If he were the type to curse, he would have been hurling expletives at Luo Bai right now.

Humanitarianism? Leaving a way out?
Thank you so much for your 'kindness'!!
At this moment, Galactus was beyond furious.
He glared at Luo Bai with burning rage, his eyes filled with an intense desire to devour him—and the entire Earth along with him.
Of course, anger was one thing.
But in his current condition, there was nothing he could do to Luo Bai or the Earth.
He was far too weak, his body wracked with hunger, desperately in need of sustenance.
So, in his frustration, Galactus could only issue a threatening growl, "I won't let you or Earth off the hook!"
Luo Bai wasn't concerned about Galactus seeking revenge on him personally.
However, if Galactus remained fixated on Earth, that could spell real trouble.
After all, at the end of the day, Earth was just a planet.
It had its limits, and humans—compared to cosmic entities—were vulnerable.
Luo Bai knew that if Galactus kept setting his sights on Earth, the planet would eventually face a disaster it couldn't withstand.
With that in mind, Luo Bai decided he needed to make Galactus... "calm down."
Smiling, he said, "You know, you should really reconsider my offer. Being a power bank isn't such a bad deal."
"We're both civilized beings—there's no need to make this relationship so hostile."
"I get it. You have some... misconceptions about humans on Earth. You see them as weak."
"But actually, Earth's greatest strength isn't power—it's deception."
"Take me, for example. I've been running the ultimate cheat code this entire time. The name of the game? Defying Fate."
As Luo Bai finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, using telekinesis to retrieve an item from the air.
A moment later, something appeared in his palm.
A... lighter.
The instant Galactus saw the "lighter," his expression changed.
His once-raging eyes softened, filled with an uncharacteristic gentleness.
