Let's rewind time to when Lucifer Morningstar was deeply irritated by Schiller's incessant harassment via telephone. An infuriated Lucifer Morningstar momentarily forgot about his desire to be an ordinary person and instead decided to follow the truths and origins of the world. He aimed to locate Schiller, give him a piece of his mind, and, incidentally, retrieve his feather.

However, despite his exhaustive search throughout the entire DC Space's origins, Lucifer Morningstar couldn't find a trace of Schiller, which was quite peculiar. Any life within this Space should have been within Lucifer Morningstar's watchful gaze.

Frustrated by the lack of results, he began sensing the power of his feather. The feather was indeed responsive, but it wasn't within the confines of the DC Space. Lucifer Morningstar sensed that the feather's presence emanated from beyond the Source Wall.

Lucifer Morningstar's anger intensified. Schiller not only harassed him via telephone, but he did so from outside the Space, preventing any chance of capturing the culprit.

Typically, beings within the DC Space, no matter how high their status, couldn't influence events beyond the Source Wall. However, Schiller had taken one of Lucifer Morningstar's feathers, essentially taking a part of his power with it. Regardless of where this portion of power went, Lucifer Morningstar could control it.

So, fueled by his rage, Lucifer Morningstar didn't hesitate to seize control of this portion of his power and began to roar.

However, Lucifer Morningstar was an entity from a different Space, and even though his status within this universe was high, it didn't mean he could precisely control his power in another Space. His angry shout was fundamentally intended for Telephone, a scathing rebuke directed at Schiller. But due to his inability to precisely control his power, his private message became a mass broadcast.

In other words, Schiller had become Telephone itself, and Lucifer Morningstar, standing within the Source Wall of the DC Space, was sending group messages to the Marvel Space.

As Lucifer Morningstar's roar reverberated over Marvel Space, all beings at the Multiverse and higher levels heard his voice. However, the majority of these beings didn't realize that the source of the sound came from beyond their Space; they thought it was just someone on their level going crazy again.

Reaching this level of existence meant that making one's voice resonate across all Spaces wasn't difficult. Normally, if they needed to communicate, they would send messages one-on-one, but it wasn't entirely impossible for someone to hit the wrong key and send a group message. Such incidents had occurred before. Therefore, when Lucifer Morningstar shouted that sentence, most people assumed that someone was just spamming messages.

However, some beings sensed that this voice didn't belong to any known entity.

Many higher-level beings sensed that this voice might not belong to any of them. They began searching for the source of this voice. Since Lucifer Morningstar had used Schiller himself to send this message, this group of beings eventually traced it back to Schiller.

After all, the message explicitly mentioned Schiller's name, so it had to be related to him in some way.

Lucifer Morningstar's group message reached a wide audience, including many prominent figures from the Marvel world. Among them, the most famous was OAA, referred to as the Supreme God of the Marvel Space, an all-knowing, all-powerful creator.

In comics, OAA didn't display much human-like personality. Many of his actions in comics were carried out through proxies, controlling certain individuals within a Space to influence its progress.

For instance, OAA had once used Thanos, wielding the Heart of the Universe, to correct errors within a Space. He had also incarnated as a lonely old man to encourage Peter Parker, who was grieving the loss of a loved one. When Stone Man from the Fantastic Four died unexpectedly, OAA appeared to encourage the team and praised their spirit of exploration, ultimately resurrecting Stone Man as a reward for their exploration.

OAA was somewhat akin to an administrator of the Marvel world. He operated above all programs, with little personal bias. If there was one thing OAA pursued, it was a Space with limitless possibilities.

Additionally, the Marvel editorial department acknowledged that OAA represented the will of reality itself, readers, and Marvel as a company. In other words, the will of reality was conveyed into the comic through OAA.

So, when characters from adjacent universes knocked on the door, OAA couldn't possibly let Lucifer Morningstar in. After all, Lucifer Morningstar belonged to DC, and in reality, the rights to his character belonged to DC Comics. If he were to appear in a Marvel comic, it would constitute copyright infringement.

However, OAA couldn't leave Lucifer Morningstar knocking on the door indefinitely, nor could he allow him to continue harassing Telephone. After all, Lucifer Morningstar was able to send thousands of messages a day to these Marvel beings, who had no defense against such harassment.

Clearly, allowing Lucifer Morningstar to linger outside wasn't in line with OAA's duty to maintain the order of Space.

So, it seemed the only option left was for OAA to step outside and confront Lucifer Morningstar. However, Lucifer Morningstar still resided within the DC Space, and OAA couldn't enter that universe without facing copyright issues.

In other words, Schiller was harassing Lucifer Morningstar from the Marvel Space, and Lucifer Morningstar was harassing the Marvel Space from the DC Space. In this scenario, neither of them could directly engage with each other, like two toy dogs barking furiously from a distance.

But OAA had another option: smashing the mobile phone.

Schiller had been harassing Lucifer Morningstar through a bug in the card. To pinpoint the exact location of this bug and correct it was a troublesome task. Lucifer Morningstar was undoubtedly unwilling to take such an action. However, when Lucifer Morningstar harassed the Marvel world, it was through the feather within Schiller's soul, effectively making Schiller himself a mobile phone.

So, as long as this "mobile phone" was smashed, the harassment would naturally cease.

However, as the boss of the Marvel Space, OAA couldn't personally step in to destroy the mobile phone. Thus, he issued the command to one of his subordinates.

His first subordinate was the Life Court. However, beings at the level of the Life Court didn't personally engage in such activities. They would find their own subordinates to carry out their tasks. In the eyes of the Life Court, smashing the "telephone" essentially meant eliminating a particular organism. If that was the case, wasn't the Galactus perfectly suited for the job?

However, the Galactus, at his rank, wouldn't personally undertake tasks. He has underlings. The apostle of Galactus is known as Silver Surfer or, in another name, the Silver Shadow Knight. He was once an astronomer from an alien planet. To prevent his mother's planet from being consumed by the Galactus, he volunteered to serve and became the Galactus's apostle.

His primary duty is to find sustenance for the Galactus. Because of his inherently good nature, he usually directs the Galactus to consume uninhabited planets.

One day, like any other, he was soaring through space, searching for food for the perpetually hungry Galactus. Suddenly, the god he served sent him a perplexing message.

In simple terms, he was instructed to locate someone and eliminate them.

Yet, perhaps due to hunger, Galactus's message was unclear. There was no context, no indication of where this person could be found, how they should be dealt with, or even why. There wasn't even a hint of who this person was.

The Silver Surfer was puzzled. Shortly after, Galactus sent a series of messages that pointed to a particular location in space, accompanied by the syllable "Schiller."

After some analysis, the Silver Surfer deduced that the coordinates might point to the location of the individual, and the syllable might be the person's name.

The information was still vague, with no clear beginning or end. Nevertheless, unable to defy Galactus's orders, the Silver Surfer followed the coordinates to that particular location.

Within each individual space are infinite dimensions and expanses. Silver Surfer was at a loss as to where to start looking for this "Schiller." Truth be told, even if Galactus hadn't provided coordinates, the task would still be like finding a needle in a haystack.

On Earth, finding a person based merely on a name is challenging, let alone in the vastness of space. Silver Surfer didn't possess the capabilities of beings like Lucifer Morningstar, who could send messages across the entire cosmos. So, he had to use a more traditional method: travel and inquire.

The variety of life forms in space was vast. The syllable "Schiller" had different meanings among various races. After much searching, the Silver Surfer found hundreds of aliens, numerous alien plants, a handful of alien animals, and even, strangely, a piece of excrement.

Floating in space, he looked at the strange assortment he had gathered and sighed in resignation, thinking he must've misunderstood something.

However, without any better method, Silver Surfer continued his search, which soon took an unexpected turn when he stumbled into the dimension of the Cosmic Gods.

Thanks to the power granted by Galactus, the Silver Surfer had formidable strength, enough to deal with minor demon gods. After a brief skirmish with a lesser demon god, he learned of a promising place to search.

"Welcome to The Sanctum Sanctorum of the Nine Kingdoms. How may I assist you?"

"I...," Silver Surfer recalibrated his language settings, then hesitantly replied, "I am looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for? Please provide their name, description, and background. The more details you provide, the faster we can help."

"Uh, I only know his name. It's Schiller."

"Schiller, do you mean Mr. Schiller Rodriguez?"

For the first time in this space, the Silver Surfer heard the name "Schiller" pronounced correctly. Elated, he responded, "Yes! That's the name. Do you know him?"

"I'm sorry, he's one of our client managers. Unless you are a Platinum Member, I can't help you contact him."

"But the person I'm looking for is him."

"I'm truly sorry, but our client managers only deal with Platinum Members. You appear to be an unknown caller. Without a Platinum Membership, we cannot help you connect with our client managers."

After further inquiries led nowhere, Silver Surfer finally asked, "Fine, how do I become a member here?"

"You wish to directly apply for Platinum Membership?" The customer service's demeanor changed instantly, becoming more enthusiastic. "Let me connect you with our membership department. Gemma? Gemma?! Are you there? What? She's at lunch?... Oh, alright... Mr. Loki, can you take this? Alright... Okay..."

"Hello, welcome to The Sanctum Sanctorum of the Nine Kingdoms. I am client manager Loki Odinson. How may I assist you?"
