The last nudge Tao gave Majestic was to gain power. In Epic Duels that's a three card draw, but what if Majestic had four items in mind? First stop is the Marvel universe where he finds Thor. Majestic fancies him a solid warrior, but not unbeatable by any means. Much of his power can be found in his weapon though, and that is what Majestic has come for. A quick fight or a long one, it does not matter. Majestic leaves with the uru mallet. His next target is the Surfer. A much more fair fight, if Majestic wants it to be. He doesn't. He's just there for another power source. A device to bypass Surfer's defenses and shut down his mind is quickly created. Majestic finds the Surfer and catches him off guard, defeating him before he can put up a fight. Majestic takes the silver corpse, the board and the hammer and drops them into his forge. The forge's mix of science and pure power, directed by Majestic's intelligence, allows him to create a new weapon and armor. His weapon is a sword. The uru ore, thick with magic, is mixed with a portion of the Surfer's shell and reformed into a blade fitting a Kheran warlord. In addition to the magic it already contains, and the power cosmic it can now channel, Majestic adds features of other Kheran weaponry to it, including thought-controlled shape shifting should he desire to wield it in something closer to its original form on occasion. Most of what is left of the Surfer and his board is fashioned into greaves, paldrons, and gauntlets. Like the sword, the armor allows Majestic to channel the power cosmic, but to a much greater degree, possibly even better than the Surfer himself. The last bit of the Surfer remains in the forge. It is to be combined with a third item. The power cosmic-laden flesh of the Surfer provides a perfect base for manipulating and bonding other items of great power, especially magical ones that would otherwise resist being remade and wielded against their will. The uniform silver look is just a bonus. The last piece of armor that will be reforged with the remaining pieces of the Surfer is the helmet of Nabu. Kent Nelson never sees the attack coming and Majestic's new powers are nearly beyond him in any case. The fight, if it can even be called one, is shorter than the time it takes to remake the helmet. Now fully outfitted he goes for his last prize, for which he'll have to fight life itself. Maybe before the other three fights he could have reasoned with the avatar of life. As one of the Universals (even formerly) he's a major protector of life in his universe so that could win him the ring, but wearing the body of a defeated enemy as armor makes that a hard sell. Majestic could wage a war on the avatar of life that would go on until life relented and granted him his request, a single ring to tap its creative power, if he would only leave it alone forever. All that's left is for Majestic to kill Odin when he comes for vengeance. Odin will be surprised when the hammer no longer obeys his commands. And no, Galactus won't care about Norrin, he can always make another herald.
