History
Origin[]
Bor discovers the Galactus Seed
The Galactus Seed was created by Eternity before the recording of time,[3] being energy beyond boundaries to be explained by language and mathematics and described by the Silver Surfer as the Eternal Soul of the All-God.[5] The Seed was discovered by Bor, the First King of Asgard, with his sons Odin, Vili, and Ve. Upon its discovery, Bor planted the seed thus giving birth to the universe along with Yggdrasill the World Tree, over which the Ten Realms hang.[4]
Eons later, during Bor's reign, a battle was fought in Niffleheim for the creation of an artificial Black Infinity Stone. Under Bor's command, his sorcerers brought the Eternal Flame from Muspelheim, to burn the pieces of shell that once held the Galactus Seed, creating the Stone to act as fuel, however, it transformed into a baby girl, Hela.[6]
Siege Aftermath[]
Upon Asgard's destruction over Broxton and the splitting of the World Tree, Odin ordered Thor and Sif to retrieve the seed from its depths. Odin later tried to commune with the seed to avert a impending prophecy concerning the Asgardians. Placing it for safe keeping within the Destroyer Armor thus powering the suit immensely with its incalculable power. The Silver Surfer arrived the same day demanding the seed, on behalf of Galactus which according to the Silver Surfer will sate his hunger forever.[7]
