That sound! It is like a heartbeat!
My board!
Come to me!
These growth cycles should take eons,
not moments, to occur. Truly, this is a world of impossibilities!
But my speculations are pointless.
Soon this world will be no more!
NO!!! You cannot go!
Can it be?
Is this whole world attacking me?
The area around me.
It is a perfect void.
My power cosmic has no source from which to draw...
Silver Surfer! Your place is here!
No! Whoever you are.
Know that my place is at the side of Galactus! Now and evermore...
I must free myself! For Galactus...
My herald!
This world is no more, its energy absorbed...
Never before have you failed to summon me to a new planet...
by the time I was finished with the old...!
Now you are strangely silent!
Is it possible that you have gone back on your word?
Silver Surfer...! I HUNGER!
My darling... Success is just a heartbeat away.
Soon, the chains to bind great Galactus...
...will be yours to lock into place!
In all my service with Galactus never have I beheld such as this!
I am Ego, the Living Planet!
Stay with me, Silver Surfer...
...and I will give you all you ever could desire.
Indeed, you are a unique and powerful being.
But I cannot allow even you to prevail over my master's needs!
To me, my board!
Your incompetence depresses me, Ego.
We will discuss the proper punishment when I have finished with him.
You should have remained in the ice, Silver Surfer.
Now, this may hurt you... Although not for long...
No!
Where have you taken me?
We have entered your mind.
It is... It is not as I expected...
Your whole life should be here.
Your accomplishments. Fears. Failures.
Instead... There is emptiness.
Darkness.
A void...
My life is serving Galactus. I am nothing else.
Serving Galactus?
I have no interest in how to serve anyone!
I want the secret of controlling your master!
Do you not understand?
Galactus can never be controlled!
If every being... every power... in the universe...
...came together just for that very purpose, still would they fail!
He cannot be invincible!
He is not a God!
The answer is here! It must be here!
Might this be your past, perhaps?
Mountains of memories hidden from you, locked away like a silver treasure!
I will possess that treasure!
No!
You must stop! I have no answers!!!
This is where the truth lies, Silver Surfer.
Do you not want to be set free?
I am afraid!
To perform your task as my herald, Norrin Radd.
You must become far more than merely a man...
Think of the courage our ancestors had, Shalla Bal.
To leave Zenn-La and soar out to the unknown!
I bestow upon you a portion of my own power cosmic...
I will guide him only to planets whose cores burst with energy,
yet which have no intelligent life.
I shall give you the means to travel faster than the fastest starship.
This is what you have longed for all your life.
It truly is your chance to explore the stars.
I know you have always wanted to go.
Norrin Radd exists no more.
I will save countless civilizations!
Take me with him!
Even your mind is a new page on which I shall write.
I will never forget you, Shalla Bal...
No! You are from Zenn-La!
Eons ago, did I study there!
Eons ago, did I fail!
Never again can one such as I face Zenn-La's shining light!
My lady... Protect me!
Silver Surfer! I am in your debt.
The nova that brought you here was caused by that being.
If I had not aided in your entrapment, I would have perished like that star.
Are you not afraid you will still perish, when I summon Galactus?
I am not without resources, as you have seen.
And with Thanos gone, my mobility has returned...
Mobility, indeed...
Thanos! I will remember the name of one who is so evil...
...yet has given me so much to think about.
So many memories!
And get a swiftly as they appeared, did they vanish, returning to their prison inside my own mind...
I must find Galactus..
For now I know that my master has stolen my past, my life!
My love!
Galactus! There will be a reckoning!
I will regain my soul!
My lady, I have failed you.
I am not worthy, I know...
Please do not turn away from me now.
Let me right this grievous wrong.
I will give you the universe, I swear!
And then, my beloved Lady Chaos...
...together we shall destroy it!
Galactus!
You have failed me, my herald...
But I will let it go... this time...
For now I am well pleased.
I have found a world with more life energy than any I have encountered before!
