Damian, who was sleeping on Ana's lap, was awakened as his cheeks were gently pulled.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Ivy smiling as she stretched his cheeks in various directions.

Damian chuckled before picking up Ivy and embracing her, rubbing his cheek against her hair.

"Daddy, we're here. They gave us the mission to inform you," Alice said, smiling adorably.

"Hm, you did a good job," Damian said, smiling at his three daughters.

"Let's go down and see from a distance how the place we're going to looks. It's quite interesting to see," Damian said, smiling.

The three adults each took a girl in their arms before heading to the control center with the best view.

Upon arriving at the control center, Damian saw Natasha, Sophia, and Ophelia.

The group smiled before approaching them and greeting them.

"Where have you been?" Damian asked, looking at them curiously.

"I was learning about weapons, and Ophelia and I competed in flying the ships," Natasha said excitedly.

"Who knows when Earth will advance in that way," Natasha casually remarked.

"We'll see," Damian said, smiling.

"And what did you do, Mom?" Damian asked, looking at Sophia.

"I explored the ship and talked with some soldiers," Sophia said, smiling.

"Mama, I shot the ship's weapons and destroyed some small planets," Ivy said, smiling.

"Oh, really? That's my girl," Ophelia laughed, giving Ivy kisses.

"Don't teach her strange things," Sophia slapped Ophelia.

Ophelia just stuck her tongue out before ignoring her.

"Look, you can already see Knowhere," Damian said, pointing in the distance.

They could now see a head with several lights coming out from where the eyes and mouth should be, along with a nebula behind it.

"Wow, what is that?" Natasha asked in amazement.

"It's the severed head of a Celestial," Damian said.

"Celestial?" Natasha asked, confused, looking at Damian along with most of the women in the group, except Carol.

"Celestials are basically the gods of the universe," Damian said straightforwardly.

"They create galaxies by constantly expanding the universe, as well as creating life."

Everyone was amazed by the information they had received. They never thought such beings existed in the universe.

"And what can that do to a Celestial?" asked Natasha in amazement.

"You're looking at one," Damian said, giving her a playful smile.

"Really?" Natasha asked, wide-eyed.

"I'd have to try, but I think I could do it," Damian said more seriously as he thought about it.

The ship slowly approached until it reached the giant head.

Inside Knowhere, a discussion was taking place.

Tivan remained silent as he watched his subordinates argue about the three ships outside.

"How is it possible that they don't know which civilization those ships belong to?" Tivan said slowly, interrupting the conversation.

Tivan's subordinates couldn't help but curse in their minds, thinking that he was supposed to know everything. He was one of the oldest races in the universe.

"Maybe they're not hostile? They haven't attacked," someone hesitantly suggested.

"They're waiting for us to go to them," Tivan said, sighing as he stood up. He couldn't help but think that his subordinates were incompetent.

"Just hope they don't come to steal my place. It would be a shame to start over," Tivan thought as he walked into another room.

"Try to initiate communications with the ship," Tivan said as he stood in front of the holographic communicator.

Soon, a young-looking man appeared in front of Tivan, with striking features such as silver-blue hair and blood-red eyes.

Tivan, being one of the oldest beings in the universe, was sure he had never seen eyes like those.

More composed now, Tivan spoke for the first time.

"May I know the reason why you surrounded my mine?" Tivan asked, maintaining a strong front and speaking calmly.

"Your mining colony, I want it," Damian said directly.

"It's not for sale, but if you offer me something good enough, I wouldn't mind parting with it," Tivan said, his second sentence faster as he saw the man narrow his eyes.

Tivan nervously watched the man's reaction until he nearly jumped in fright as he saw him disappear from the image and appear in front of him.

With the man in front of him, Tivan couldn't help but be astonished. He had seen all kinds of beings since the birth of the universe, but he had never seen a being like this one. He could feel 12 terrifying pairs of eyes looking at him from the man's body.

Tivan couldn't help but feel both terrified and excited by this unknown species that would undoubtedly be the best addition to his collection.

"I can offer you your life in exchange," Damian said, looking at Tivan as his eyes flashed dangerously. Damian had no qualms about kicking Tivan out of this place.

Tivan was not a good person. You could say he was a villain worse than Thanos. Thanos genuinely believes he is doing the right thing, while Tivan enslaves or kills people to increase his collection.

"You have three days to vacate the place," Damian said before disappearing. At first, he was only acting imposing, but seeing Tivan's gaze towards him made him annoyed.

At that moment, he couldn't help but consider getting rid of him, but in the end, he simply let him be.

...

Damian returned to the ship in a bad mood, but upon appearing near his daughters, he gave them a slight smile.

''You looked really cool acting like a tyrant emperor,'' Carol said with a laugh.

"How did everything go?" Natasha asked curiously.

"Everything went well. We reached an agreement," Damian said, trying to joke to lift his bad mood.

"Yeah, right," Ophelia said, mocking him as she remembered how she first met Damian.

"How long will we wait here?" Carol asked.

"I gave him three days to pack up his things," Damian said.

"Daddy, can't we go down and see the place?" Emma asked curiously.

"Sure, but how about taking a nap first? In space, it may not be noticeable, but it's already a bit late at home," Damian said, smiling at his daughters.

The three girls made a displeased face upon hearing their father's suggestion. They still wanted to play.

"Come on, today we can sleep together," Damian said, trying to convince them.

"Okay," said the little princesses happily.

Quickly, the activity in the ship diminished as they left some people in charge of keeping watch.

Damian was in a large room, transmuting the bed and making it bigger and more durable.

Since the girls were going to sleep with them, it was necessary to make it bigger and more durable because their daughters liked to play and sometimes used too much force.

Damian finished preparing the bed when Carol, Ana, Natasha, and Ophelia came out of the bathroom, carrying the three girls.

They had taken a bath and were ready to sleep.

"What a great bed," Alice said, smiling as she jumped on the bed.

The three girls quickly started playing tag, as they usually didn't have such a big bed to play on.

"I'll take a quick bath, won't be long," Damian said, entering the bathroom.

The group in the room also got on the bed while they chatted, especially Natasha, who asked Carol several questions about space.

At that moment, Sophia entered the room, smiling slightly.

Everyone turned to look at her as they didn't expect her to come so late.

"I think I'll sleep with you all. It feels lonely to be the only one in the room in this silent space," Sophia said, smiling.

The girls smiled happily upon hearing their grandmother before getting off the bed and pulling her hand to make her climb up quickly.

Knowing that they were going to sleep together made a really big smile appear on the three little faces of the girls.

"Are you scared, perhaps?" Carol asked jokingly.

Sophia just looked at her with annoyance before getting under the sheets.

At that moment, Damian came out wearing simple pajama shorts, showing the upper part of his body.

Upon seeing his mother, Damian was briefly surprised before mentally shrugging and also getting on the bed.

The girls also lay down with a smile; sleeping with the whole family was a novelty for them.

"Let's go to sleep," Damian said before turning off the lights and lying down.

Emma had settled beside him, between him and Ana.

Damian smiled as he gently stroked her silky black hair, watching her relax and slowly drift off to sleep.

Damian lovingly smiled at his daughter's small and adorable face.

Stretching his finger, he poked her soft cheeks until Ana slapped his hand and signaled him to go to sleep.

Damian chuckled softly as he held Ana's hand and proceeded to fall asleep.

The hours passed quickly, and Damian woke up to the voices of his daughters.

Damian simply opened his eyes and looked at them with a smile.

They were discussing going to the giant head they had seen from the ship and planning what they would do there.

With time, everyone woke up, quickly got ready, and headed to the dining hall.

The dining hall was quite empty, with only a few soldiers who were eating at this hour for special reasons.

The whole family sat down before their food was brought to them.

After a quick breakfast, the whole family went to the hangar where they boarded a ship. Carol took the pilot's seat and began flying towards Knowhere.

The ship passed through one of the eyes of the head as everyone looked around.

There wasn't much to see, just many mining ships constantly extracting resources.

Nevertheless, the girls looked around with curiosity.

The ship landed, and everyone disembarked as they looked around.

There were many people who looked at them with doubt; their appearance didn't really match the criminal atmosphere of the place.

Damian extended his senses and unconsciously made people not want to approach them.

They all explored the place, passing by shops that sold all kinds of interesting things.

Carol took the opportunity to buy a hoverboard.

At the same time, Tivan, who was admiring his collection that was gradually being packed, was informed of Damian and his family's presence. When he heard that there were three little girls, Tivan couldn't help but pace back and forth with a stressed expression.

His subordinate just looked at him in awe of his strange behavior.

Logically, Tivan knew the best thing to do was to pack up and leave, but his obsession with collecting was such that he couldn't resist going out to see the three little hatchlings.

He wondered what the childhood of a being like Damian would be like.

"Surely an infant is easier to capture," Tivan thought with a maniacal gleam in his eyes as he walked towards the place where he was told Damian was.

Damian continued strolling with his family. Many things were truly interesting to see, even for him, as he didn't have much contact with extraterrestrial civilizations.

At that moment, Damian felt someone looking at his daughters in a strange way, so he furrowed his brow and looked in that direction to see Tivan with his eyes fixated on his daughters.

Damian could see an obsession in his eyes as if he had found something new to collect.

Damian felt the sounds diminish and the colors fade until he could only see Tivan's heart beating in a grey world.

At that moment, the head floating in space began to tremble violently, and cracks appeared in the structure of the skull.

Carol was immediately alarmed and wrapped her body with her maximum power, taking the three girls in her arms. However, at that moment, she noticed that the three of them were unaffected.

It was as if there was a meter of separation around them.

Carol then looked at Damian, who was responsible for the violent tremors. Carol could sense his anger, although anger was too mild a word; she could feel that he was furious like she had never seen before.

The other women in the family also became very alert. Ana and Ophelia also surrounded Natasha to make sure there were no problems as they looked at Damian.

At that moment, Damian disappeared before reappearing in front of Tivan and hitting him with all his strength in the head.

Tivan practically disappeared as he was sent flying toward the walls of the giant head.

When he hit the wall, it was destroyed, leaving a human-sized hole while Tivan was left exposed in space.

Damian followed Tivan to see him floating unconscious in space, his face completely disfigured and slightly crushed.

Still, Damian saw him slowly open his eyes and look at him with fear.

Damian gave a big smile, showing his fangs, as he saw him open his eyes.

He wanted him to be conscious so that he would know that he was going to die, otherwise it would be too easy for him.

"You shouldn't have even thought about it," Damian said before extending his hand. Suddenly, a giant lion's head formed around Damian, opening its mouth and devouring Tivan.

There was a bright light and muffled screams. When the vision cleared, there was nothing left of Tivan.

Damian was still upset just remembering the way Tivan looked at his daughters, staring into the distance, his body filled with a yellow aura as lightning flashed for miles.

Damian sighed, trying to calm himself as he ran a hand through his hair, now he felt like he had ruined the trip.

He turned and looked at the huge head, assuming they wouldn't have to wait another three days.
