It never mentioned LT at all in that conversation. Poor recollection or an attempt to bolster your argument with a sneaky addition to the truth, its been noticed and rejected. It referred to the UN being the only thing that could stop Abraxas. Not LT and not Galactus by his own power, the UN. And we saw why, because of its ability to nullify and reset things. NOT because of a lack of power possessed by other cosmics in comparison to Abraxas. Continue that line of argument and youre basically saying Abraxas is greater than LT, the IG and Phoenix despite not having the feats to back that up.
Just making a point here, in your response do not go off on a tangent as to why you think Abraxas is greater than those named. Lets keep this about Galactus vs Phoenix. Thank you.

1st scan- Galactus “I do only what I must to survive”
“Look around you. Gaze upon this world…..victim to the titanic forces we unleashed.”
2nd scan convo follows on- “Whilst I hover near to death, my strength depleted, exhausted in our struggle, while you are neither hungry nor weary. Because you tap into a source of near limitless potential.”
So like I said, whether Galactus had fed or not, it wouldn’t have mattered for the very reasons he states himself. He requires external sustenance, he eats and he expends therefore he must eat again to replenish his resources. A Phoenix avatar is tapped into the life energies of the universe which is the very Phoenix Force itself. So in a fight with Phoenix Galactus’ resources would run out and then hes back to square one. He is a limited physical being with energy requirements. He is not self sustaining. That is why whilst in role he may be up there with the abstracts and Phoenix, but in terms of power he doesn’t cut it.
The point was also made by Maelstrom in Quasar#21:
“In the cosmic scheme of things, my position is more exalted than yours. Due to your Pre Big Bang origin you believe yourself to be unique among the beings of the universe.
Yet like the lowliest of creatures you depend upon outside sustenance. You are ruled by your enormous hunger, but you are not hunger itself. I on the other hand embody a concept”
For the reasons Galactus stated himself after his defeat by Phoenix and for the reasons Maelstrom avatar of Oblivion stated, Galactus is not on the level of abstracts or Phoenix, beings that don’t require physical bodies and are not limited by the need for external sustenance. He is merely a very powerful physical being with an important role.

If you’re going to argue against a character at least make sure you’re clued up about the character first or you’ll just mark yourself as a biased debator. Phoenix has energized the bonds that contain the power of the M’kraan crystal, power that can wipe out the multiverse.
It is the only power on panel to wipe out the entire multiverse and have the point verified in a handbook. (No confusion between universe and multiverse in this case)
