I see no reason why/how Galactus could beat him before Odin can close the gap. I also see blasts from odin rocking Galactus as well.
Odin also managed to cleave a celestial and he was facing multiple opponents.
Celestials are more powerful than Galactus anyways.
Galactus didn't do so against tyrant, Thor, at the end of galactus the devourer, against T and A. you are trying to make him into some unstoappable juggernaut.
Odin wins based on his power,durability, his sword.
If we're talking about the Destroyer armor in #300, with all the Asgardians in it as well as the powers of the other sky-fathers:
- The Destroyer's disintegration beam did absolutely nothing in the entire fight save for rupturing the protective dome the Celestials erected. One of the celestials casually deflected it with his hand. A well-fed Galactus wouldn't be "rocked" at all. Perhaps physically it might propel him some distance, like the Thanos blast, but like the Thanos blast, it will do nothing. If a Celestial can be unharmed by the blast, i find it hard pressed that you're going to argue a well-fed Galactus would be "rocked" by the blast. And if it does physically propel him some distance, then it just continues being a ranged battle that is inevitably and incontrovertibly in Galactus' favor.
- The Destroyer armor in #300 was said to be casually able to withstand a supernova, but yet was completely reduced to metallic slag by the combined forces of the celestials. A super nova is an exploding star that destroys the planetary system it's a part of. Galactus casually was wading around in a star in the process of going super nova in Thanos #3.
1. Galactus was destroying an untold number of galaxies in his well-fed battle against FP Tyrant. A galaxy has billions and billions of stars in it.
2. Annihilation (i.e., severely starved and weakened) Galactus destroyed more than three star systems with his blast. it's generally used in astronomy as 1 star system containing 2 or more solar systems.
All of that output exceeds the comfort zone of the Destroyer.
-Galactus has never had his limbs severed. To my knowledge the only time anything close to that happening was in FF annual, which was an alternate reality's Galactus head, ripped away by Abraxas, no less. Anyway, recalling events in SS against DP Tyrant and the Devourer limited series is irrelevant as it was Galactus' own tech that was siphoning away his very energies. Odin doesn't have that here, and likely wouldn't even understand how to use it even if he did. T & A were no instances of him requiring to use molecular manip on himself so that's also irrelevant, same with Thor. In Infinity War he suffered total disintegration at the hand of the magus' cosmic cubes...that's different from having his own tech used against him (Tyrant and Devourer), or being KO'd (T&A).
-I'm surprised you're going to state that a celestial>Galactus when you just opened yourself wide open to the same question you exploit: when has any single celestial ever defeated someone on Galactus' level?
-The Destroyer vs. 4th host fight was really a joke. It was much more to show how far the sky-fathers were under the celestials, more than to showcase what Odin can do with 1000 years' worth of prep.
If you've ever watched pro wrestling you know that events are dramatic and engage the crowd more when you have a powerful hero face off against a gang of villains. If hulk hogan goes in all hulked up against a group of 7 guys (andre the giant, ultimate warrior, undertaker, etc. etc.) you dont have the villains beat him down into unconsciousness in the opening bell. You have hogan unleash all the trademark moves, then the hero gets finished off relatively quickly. The story showcases the hero, but the villains actually move the story forward by ending the conflict.
No where in the entire contest was any single celestial in any danger whatsoever. It's not so much that it takes the entire 4th host to bring down the destroyer but that the 4th hosts' power is so much greater than the Destroyer's that the 4th host reduces the Destroyer to molten metal. That is undoubtedly a bit overboard. They don't KO the destroyer (which for KMC purposes will win the battle) they actually reduce it to its base component, metal. It's power above and beyond what is necessary to win the battle.
Odin wins based on his power,durability, his sword.
Odin's most potent power (disintegration beam) in the armor did absolutely nothing against any single celestial. Therefore he doesn't have the power to match G here.
Destroyer Odin's durability is far below the damage output a well-fed Galactus (vs. FP Tyrant) can unleash, and arguably well below what a starved Galactus (annihilation) can wreak. Therefore he doesn't have the durability to stand up to G here.
Which brings us to the sword. The sword which Odin brought to existence by using his molecular transmutation with the rhinegold ring. The sword which Arishem allowed himself to be stabbed with, casually took out with his hand, and in turn performed his own molecular transmutation, dissolving the sword into a nonfactor in an instant with the touch of his hand. The same sword which was formed by molecular transmutation, was dissolved into harmless liquid by molecular transmutation, and which will face a character that is easily in the top 5 of the highest tier at molecular transmutation, Galactus.
Yes, the sword isn't going to do much help for Odin.

He already reformed himself from complete disintegration at the hand of the magus' cosmic cubes
