Chapter 629: The revelations that everyone was waiting for! (5)
"So we are in fear of all the beings that were once struck at the Wall?" John asked while clenching his fist. He knew what the answer was but he needed to hear what Presence and OAA had to say about this.
"Yes. We do know some of them who are stuck at the Wall, but since the Wall is connected to all the multiverse, there will be some beings whom we have no idea about." Presence said. This stumped John completely. From the words of Presence it meant that there might be more people than it was expected as the Wall was connected to all the multiverse.
There was horrific silence, the people present here had no idea of what kind of prisoners were stuck at the Wall, but the Creators have themselves come down to ask for help. They didn't know if they should be proud of this or cower in fear, because they could already sense that the enemies they would be facing would be immensely powerful now.
"So whom do I expect? Perpetua? Yuga Khan? One version of Darkseid and all the forces that were sealed?" John asked as he already had an idea of whom they had to face at the beginning. Presence and OAA both looked at John for a second before Presence nodded and said
"Them and more!!"
"Fuck this shit."
The glasses on the table were thrashed and blown away by John out of pure anger. He thought his biggest concern was his secret to be out by these two people, but now it seemed like he had more of a headache than what he had expected from the beginning. The problems he would be facing now would make him wish that the things which he had expected before would come to life.
The others all looked at John not realising what those weird names represented. But from the reaction of John, they might be enemies that should be more powerful than the Knull they had just faced. John then looked at the faces of all of the people who were present in the room. He could see the confusion, the fear, the anxiety, the excitement on the faces of all.
John had been trying to save everyone since the start. He owed this at least to Earth-616. Now he would have to do the same for the multiverse. And this time the enemies might not even arrive by knocking on the door. They might just hop on to the bed and slit their throats without them even realizing.
But he knew that it was too late to go back. It was them or nothing. There was no stepping back. After looking at his friends for one last second he said
"So war it is!!!"
"War it is!!!" Wayne and others instantly shouted seeing that John had decided to go to war against the upcoming enemy or in this case enemies. Multiple ones in this case. The people had no idea who these enemies were or what they would face but since the Creator had said that they would be facing enemies as old as time itself they should expect enemies higher than the level of Knull.
John waved his hands as two glasses of champagne were brought to existence. The environment of the room was tense and he needed to break the sharp tension in the room. He handed over the glasses to both of them and thus offered them peace. At this time, John and others didn't want obstacles between them and the two creators who had arrived to warn them of the coming future.
"Where is Thanos?' Tony asked as he was still held at that person. The trauma of Thanos was not something that Tony would ever forget or let it go. OAA looked at Tony and said
"We sent him to the Wall from the crack that had appeared on our side. We knew that over the course of time the cracks would appear on our side of the multiverse. Me and my friend here decided to send someone to scout the Wall. He was the perfect candidate for this mission and he voluntarily agreed to help us too. To go beyond the enemy lines and bring us information about the Wall. Our friend John Jameson seems to know a lot but we have a feeling that even his knowledge will not be enough for the dangers that we are going to face."
"You.. You sent a villain to do a hero's job? Are you both nuts? Do we have a scarcity of good people in the multiverse that we had to send Thanos to the Wall?" Tony roared out. He was all in favor of sending people to the Wall to find out what was in the Wall to begin with.
But Thanos of all people should be the last candidate for the job.
"We sent him because he is expendable, while you and the others present in the room are not."

Chapter 630: The revelations that everyone was waiting for! (6)
Everybody had a weird impression on their faces but they didn't say anything. A section of the people here had no idea who Thanos was but from the tone of Tony it was apparent that he was a very 'big bad' and Tony particularly was obsessed with him.
"How can we trust Thanos?" Tony asked.
"We don't. When he comes back we can go through his memories. If he comes back. There is a man sized if in this whole mission." Presence said.
"Good. I can't wait to fuck him up for good for the last time." Tony said. They established the problem of Thanos, as many here thought that OAA was funding Thanos for doing terrorism.
"Why did you mention that I am a special one?" John finally asked the question that was burdening him for some time. The subsequent answer will decide his future with his friends.
"Your powers or as you like to call it dream powers come from the Wall. The Wall is a part of the multiverse so it has chosen you as its champion in order to put everything in order. I called you a special one because your powers, your dreams and even those special items of yours come from the Wall. You are more special than you think. You are the savior that the multiverse had been searching for." OAA said.
Hearing those words of OAA, John felt like he was struck by lightning. He had been trying to find out the source of his system for such a long time. And the answer came to him out of the least expected person. But the words of OAA made him realise a crucial point of this whole power swap thing.
"So I will die if the Wall breaks apart?" John asked.
"This I can't answer as we have no idea of how your power works. We only know that you get your powers from Wall as we have seen the flow of the source but we don't know to what extend its affecting you. All we know that you are special."
"So if I understand it right, my time is limited. The breaking of the Wall will be my end and I will have to do everything possible to not let it happen." John said. The Wall was his life force and he needed to stop it from breaking and make sure that the enemies coming from the Wall were stopped.
He had to work double.
Such words of John made the people of the room feel very heavy. Everybody here knew that a multiversal Wall would be very hard to repair and they had enemies who would be trying to poke more holes in it.
"We will repair the cracks using all the technology that we have and make sure we keep the enemies at bay." Reed said to give assurance to John. None of the people here wanted to see the death of a person who had been shielding them from problems.
"Yes. We have the brightest minds of the multiverse. I am sure we will find a way to repair the Wall."
"We will leave for the Wall with all our equipment and start working on it."
Those words were said by many of the brightest minds of the room like Beast, 616-Tony, Banner and others.
"It's fine. I have always said nothing is eternal. If one day death comes, I will accept it with no hesitation. I just don't want my death to be meaningless. And repairing the Wall? I have seen a future where the Wall had cracks and that didn't end well. Don't put all your money on that. I would rather ask all of you to prepare for war than give your mind to repairing the Wall. I am sure the people on the other side of the multiverse are trying the same thing and they are losing. So you all better start making war preparations and put the whole planet on high alert."
Clark came forward and without any warning he slapped John. The people who were murmuring about the power of John and how to face the enemies, instantly went silent. John put his hands on his face, as he felt the slap. This was a full blown slap of a Kryptonian. If John was a normal person he would have been dead.
"We don't give up on our teammates, our friends. We will do everything possible to repair the Wall and if we are successful in it, we will send the information to the other side. I think Mr. Presence here will be happy to help us in this regard. As Steve had one said, we don't trade lives."
The words of Clark put a smile on the faces of others. None of them would give up just because there is a very minute chance of winning. And all of them expected others to do the same for them. This time John has been put to the trial of death and others will have to bail him out.
