Chapter 362: The result

As John said that he swirled his hand. And immediately after that an invisible wave flowed outward. This wave spread to the whole of earth and then the entire universe. Like the mutants, the avengers were de-powered now. The people who had powers have now lost their powers. And the superheroes who had special sets of skills lost that particular skill. For example, Clint Barton (he came back to life again after Wanda said 'no more mutants' and this time it was permanent and his existence wasn't dependent on Wanda).

As the wave travelled every member of the Avengers felt it. Eternity, Infinity, the Living Tribunal, Cthon... etc. all felt this change that John just brought in the Earth-616 universe.

"What the hell is this? Is this some kind of joke?" Tony said as he didn't feel much. But when he tried directing his armor from his nano particles it didn't come out. John, who was in Alien X form, returned back to normal.

"I just depowered all of the Avengers. Including the ones who are in the universe right now. Since the mutants suffered this fate, why will the Avengers be left behind? Let you be in the same playing field as them." John said.

Peter Parker, Ms. Marvel, Black Panther all had felt it. They weren't sure what just happened but they could feel that they lost the powers. Peter fell on his knees. He had been with his powers for such a long time that he had forgotten what it was like to be normal. Reed lost his powers too and even his high intellect. Strange lost his magic, She-Hulk was back to normal. Steve Rogers was now back to the skinny guy he was before World War 2.

Everyone has lost what they were best at.

"This is impossible. What is this? What are you?" Strange said as he couldn't believe it.

"I just did what Wanda did to the mutants. She is a Nexus being, I doubt you even know what that term means. If she had done anything out of her limits she would have been taken away. But you all decided to play God. So here I am playing the actual God. Avengers will no longer be of service for this planet, this galaxy and this universe." John said.

"Why are you doing this?" Reed asked. They didn't even care anymore what John's powers were. After Wanda's powers nobody wasn't sure how far a human being could reach in terms of power levels.

"Why am I doing this? Because it's fun Reed. It's fun. I want to show you all how desperate the mutants are feeling right now. Let you feel how it is to be on the same level as mutants. Oh yes. I didn't de-power the villains. So now good luck with that." John said.

"You can't do this. The Supreme beings won't let you. You have tilted the balance." Strange said as he still couldn't believe he lost his magic too. He had memories of magic but he couldn't conjure magic. It was as if he lost access to all of magic powers.

After Strange said that all around them weapons started emerging from orange concentric gates.

"You don't get to talk balance with me, Strange. Definitely not you. I know more about balance than you can imagine. I am the Lord of Order. I come from a generation of beings who have advocated fighting Chaos. So don't come with your ignorance."

"But it isn't right. People like Doom, Thanos and others will come and cause havoc." Reed protested. That was all they could do now. Protest. They know that in fighting sense they have lost the power to confront John,

Since he said that he belonged to the Avengers, there must be a moral line for him. Reed wanted to exploit that.

"Innocents. Our universe is threatened by a being who is bigger than Galactus and your so called Supreme Beings have left us to die. The whole universe. They never cared about the innocents of our universe. Why would I care about the innocents of your universe? For all I care none of you are innocent. Just because a different kind of race lives with you, you all have chosen to discriminate. Now let me see how the people will handle the ugly ones. Aren't they so powerful while confronting mutants? Now let me see the power." John spoke at a stretch here. He didn't pull any punches while saying all of this.

"What? Your universe is threatened? By what? We can help you if you want. And after you have such immense power is there any power that can overpower you?" She-Hulk asked.

"I don't need your help when Strange here advocated the destruction of all. But that's a later story. For now I am off. Good luck with defending." John said as he wore his helmet and then vanished.


Chapter 363: Despair

/* For those who are saying John was being a hypocrite here for letting their Earth suffer, you are forgetting that their Earth has 198 mutants. 198 of the strongest mutants and Inhumans. Black Bolt would be enough to wipe out everything and Inhumans lived on Earth itself. So if the people wanted they could always be saved. */

The Avengers were desperate now. They couldn't even stop John. He just took off after throwing them in the pit of hell. Everybody was desperate but they felt anger too. Because John's words meant that Strange had done something incredibly bad in their universe.

"What did you do, Strange? What did you do? Time and time again he had gone against you. I can even feel pure disgust when he looks at you." Tony asked in a very angry tone.

"I don't know. I really don't know. I have never seen him before. Trust me." Strange gave his answer.

"That is impossible. He hates you. There must be some reason." Peter spoke up for the first time. He was still finding it hard to accept the reality that he had lost his spider powers.

"I really don't know.." Strange mumbled. For the first time in his life he cared about what another person thought about him. Because the other person was too powerful and his powers overwhelmed all of them.

"We need to convince him to give us the power back." Reed said.

"Convince him? A host of Phoenix Force? Good luck with that. I am gonna just to say it. We all deserved it. Let's go Scott. They won't be able to defend themselves now, forget about defending us which they refused. Bye." Emma said. It wouldn't be a lie to say that Emma rejoiced a bit inside after this sudden change of the Avengers.

John was right. They all have forgotten what it meant to be an Avenger. What that word actually meant. John's actions would now remind them. Emma and Scott left after that.

"We should have killed him when we had the chance." Strange mumbled.

"Kill him? Did you just see what he did? He literally made us a normal being. In a literal sense. I have lost my intellect and you your magic. He had just changed the reality itself. Do you have some death wish of confronting him? I doubt even Captain Universe would be able to stop him." Reed said.

"We need a plan to combat this. This can't go on. The Earth will go down in chaos if people come to know." T'Challa said.

"And how do you want to combat this? By telling the people that we lost the powers. Yeah good idea. I want to see how Dr. Doom would react to it and all the other villains. It's our fault that we are here. I am off too. John is right about us. We are just hypocrites." Steve said as he walked off.

After that Peter and others left too. Those who normally fought alone were the first ones to leave. Only Tony, Strange and Reed were left behind. They wanted to make the situation right, but they couldn't.

No ideas of theirs would help them now. They just sat at their place wallowing in despair in silence. There was no remedy for the situation.

------

John just vanished from his place and he came to a random building. He felt liberated and sad too after what he had done. He had decided to do this the moment he came to know that this story was the House of M storyline.

He waited to see how everything turned out. He wanted to see if his butterfly effect had any change in the decisions of the Avengers. But sadly they still chose the same route. And he had to do this to show the Supreme beings how big of a mistake they made.

He just sat on top of the building and looked at the city in silence. Out of nowhere a bald man appeared behind him. John felt it but didn't turn his head as he knew who had appeared.

"Here to change my mind or under the orders of the Gods?" John asked without turning his head.

"I am not here to change your mind John. Just wanted to check on a friend. What you did has awakened the Exterminators. The Celestials are now rushing to contain them." the bald man said. It was Uatu.

"The Exterminators? Serves them right. They wanted to play Gods and so now they will suffer." John said outright. He knew what the Exterminators were. In the second iteration of the multiverse, the Celestials created a race to bring balance to creation. A race that lives in darkness and death. And now they have awakened.

Even though they were trapped in the prison made by the Celestials, being awakened was problematic to the whole of the multiverse. Uatu just looked at John in silence and didn't comment. He wasn't supposed to interfere but he felt John who knew so many things had the right to know this.

"Are you sure that what you did was correct? People will suffer now." Uatu said. Changing the topic.

"I don't know if what I did was right or wrong. I just wanted to do it. People here deserve to see how ugly the world is." John replied
