Chapter 333: Celestials
"That was rude." Barry said.
"Leave him be. We all didn't like how it all turned out." Diana said as she understood the anger of Thor. He just recently became a God but he still was powerless against the actual Gods.
"He is probably angry with me." John said as he too understood Thor's anger.
"Let's go back." Victor said as he opened portals leading them to the Ring. They all went in, including the kages and the ninjas. After stepping near the Hall of Justice John said.
"Thank you kages for the help. I am sure you all need to tend to your injuries. So I won't hold you back. I will send a detailed report later of who they are and what they represent." John said.
"Will wait for the report." Gaara said as all wanted to know why John just let them take away Thanos, who was such a threat to the universe.
"Sure. I will send them. Let me send you all to your home." John said as he waved his hands. He teleported all the ninjas and kages to their dimension. Then all the Avengers including the Teen Titans went inside. Not many were tired after the short battle so all were ready to hear what John would say and give his justification.
All took their seats and John finally said.
"I know you all are angry, but our hands are tied. The person who asked for Thanos, is not something we can fight against." John said.
"What kind of being is he?" Steve asked.
"The kind of being who created the multiverse and is responsible for all of creation." John said.
"Wait? Did you just say the creator? You mean like God, God?" Tony asked.
"Yes. God, God. The one in the Bible. Well, similar to that." John replied.
"Does he really exist?" Banner murmured.
"Then do you think I just let him go because I wanted to let him go?" John said with a serious tone. He too was confused about why Thanos was taken away by OAA but he could never say no to it. At least he gave them the power to negotiate.
Even though John was tempted to ask for powers in exchange of Thanos, at the end he stopped himself. The only reason he stopped was because of the system. He didn't know if OAA knew about it. If he knew then he might just kill John. He could never take that gamble.
"Why the hell would they care for a person like Thanos?" Hal asked.
"That is what I want to know." John said.
"What about the Celestials?" Arthur asked as that name had been mentioned quite a lot of time.
"Celestials. They can be called lesser Gods. Responsible for maintaining a kind of balance. They have been around since the first multiverse. I once said long ago not to search for the Anti-Life Equation of Earth. It was not because we had the anti-life equation but because there is a seed of a celestial sleeping on Earth, deep inside." John said.
"Oh Earth is a home for them? That's cute." Natasha said. Natasha said. Like all others Natasha also played a huge role in the war. Her blue lantern ring and being the host of Adara she had been nothing but a pure nuisance to the enemies.
"It's not cute Natasha. When the population of Earth reaches a certain amount, a celestial will be born. And due to that birth, the Earth will be destroyed." John said.
"What?" Everybody cried in surprise.
"What the hell? You mean Earth will be doomed someday?" Arthur asked.
"Yes. But not if we stop the emergence of the said Celestial." John said. This gave a wave of relief to all.
"So you mean to say Earth and such other planets give birth to Celestials?" Tony asked as he understood the main point to the issue.
"Yes. Thanos was on a mission to exterminate half of the population because of two reasons. Making the population half will give more sustenance to the rest and stop the emergence of new Celestials." John said.
"What a saint!" Arthur said but in a mocking tone.
"Why don't we go and kill that Celestial? I think we all can kill a God in his sleep. We have that much power now at least." Clint asked.
"We can't, the other Celestials might be alerted due to that and will come to kill us. Don't worry, I have a plan for it. More people will be coming soon. So we can take our own measures. And we aren't powerful enough to face them yet. I didn't tell you this before because Black Winter was a headache, enough. Don't want to put too much pressure on you all." John said.
"More people? That's good. But I don't understand. If they are Gods why is their seed inside Earth sleeping?" Tony asked.
"Every billion years a new celestial needs to be born. It is the circle of life. The Celestials are responsible for creating new galaxies and maintaining that cycle. They take energy from the host planet and create suns and everything."

Chapter 334: Together
"So we are like chargers to these Gods?" Hal asked.
"Yes." John replied.
"No wonder Thanos lost his sanity. He must have seen the death of his own home planet. And this led to him taking up arms against them in a weird way." Yen said.
"Yes. Well Thanos has another history. Don't care much about it. I will take care of the Celestials. If we can't even stop a Celestial, I don't think we have the right to even speak about Black Winter." John said.
"True. That will be our ultimate test. To see if we are worthy enough to face Black Winter." Wayne said.
"Why do they even care about us? They abandoned us. They should stay the f**k out of our way." Tony said as he was angry that as a species they served only as a charger for Gods. He hated this feeling of powerlessness.
"It is what it is. Celestials work on multiverse levels not on a single universe." John said.
"Who was this Immortus guy?" Parker asked as they seemed to have forgotten that the first person who started this downhill was him.
"He is Kang. Well, the future version of Kang. The one truly appointed by the Timekeepers." John said.
"Oh. Loki has a huge headache it seems." Diana said.
"Yes he does. So now you know all." John said. This new information that John gave was too much for all. First it was the Creator and then came the lesser Gods. This was enough to change the whole world for them.
They didn't know such beings even existed and now they know that they exist, they turned out not to be so good.
"John, when is this new celestial is going to be born?" Tony asked.
"I am not sure. A year or so maybe." John said.
"F**k" Geralt said.
"Will we be powerful enough?" Clint murmured.
"We have to be. There is no other way." John said. He just hoped that the new video that he just captured was enough to push his fan values to a high level. And pray that there would be an update. An update is what he needed now.
"I know you all are feeling down now, but we had taken this path the moment we decided to face Black Winter. This is just a bump on the road. There are no shortcuts here." Steve said.
"Together we will face, whatever comes." Wayne said.
"Together." all shouted in unison.
"I know all of you are tired. You all can go home and collect yourselves. We all need a rest after all of this." John said. All nodded at it. Then Guilty Spark appeared as he teleported people to their homes.
Only John, Wayne and Tony remained in their seats.
"Still angry that I didn't tell you about the Celestials. You have always been preaching of no secrets but you yourself kept such a secret from us." Tony said.
"Tony you have to understand that what I know is dangerous. If I go on telling all the secrets you will shaking in fear. One Black Winter has given you enough problems. I can see that you hardly pass time with Pepper now. Do you think over working yourself will solve the problem?" John asked.
"We aren't Gods Tony. I have said this to you before. We can only try with what we can, but that doesn't mean we will lose ourselves in pursuit of power. No power will be enough power. There will always be new threats. New dangers. Do you think that Black Winter will be the last enemy we face? That is just the start."
"I didn't tell you about them only because of this. You have seen how Black Winter made many of us. Clint has stopped sleeping. Natasha just trains all day. Oliver almost had a breakup with Felicity. Do yo think this is healthy for us. Knowing the future?" John asked.
Tony became silent when he said this. He knew that knowing too much was always a problem. He just didn't expect that dangers were just right at their doorstep.
"Go home Tony. Spend time with Pepper. Fights will always be there. We have come a long way from facing terrorists to Gods. We will crush our enemies. We might die along the way, but we can never say that we didn't try." Wayne added to it.
"Yeah. GAIA are the videos ready?" John asked changing the topic now.
"Even after all this all you care about is videos?" Tony asked.
"It's my hobby. Keeps my sanity. You too need to find a hobby. You are going nuts. Calm yourself down." John said
"I will think about it." Tony murmured.
"The videos are ready. Do you want me to upload it everywhere?" GAIA asked.
"Yes upload it on all platforms. Both here and the universe. Tell Lex to handle this." John said.
