After this battle all the Avengers went into retreat. They wanted a rest from all the running around so they all took a break. Even the people working as mercenaries like Oliver, Clint and others didn't show up.
In order to control everything SHIELD had to recruit more ninjas from the villages to handle everything. John didn't let the ninjas participate in the battle as he wanted someone to hold the fort on Earth.
He wasn't sure if anybody would sneak attack his Earth. He had angered a lot of people on Earth 616 so he needed assurance on Earth. A proper legion to defend if anything went wrong.
Thankfully nothing went wrong. And everything was in its place. 2 months went by and John was now focused on making the new movie which was in its last phase. The movie would be the continuation of the previous DC movies.
Now that was all he cared about was 'His own life and be on the lookout of potential threats'. With his omnipotence he even found out the location of Ultron but he didn't care any more about him. No matter what he did, it would never put a dent in the universe.
So he left Ultron on his machinations and never bothered. He even conversed with the Phoenix Force when he was bored and came to know more deeply about the universe. The Phoenix Force had only one responsibility and that was protecting the M'kraan crystal.
The crystal was responsible for holding the realities of the universe together and right now it was residing in his Gate of Babylon. With the crystal a person could time travel and go to any world. But John never cared about any of this. Only thing he needed to care about was the security of the crystal which was residing on the Gate of Babylon.
The crystal came with the egg and it was inside the egg when it was hatching.
One evening when John returned from work he saw a small group of people waiting for him near his home. John was taken aback by the presence of so many people and the thing was he didn't know them at all and had never seen their faces. And all of them looked very weird.
But John remembered them from the comics. Remembering that John had a smile on his face. He had been expecting the visit from them but never expected that all of them would be here together.
"Oh so the cosmic entities of the multiverse have finally graced this universe with their presence. I am eternally grateful." John said in a very mocking and a sharp tone. This tone signified how unhappy he was with them.
The people who came were the cosmic entities of their multiverse. The actual controllers and the preserver of this multiverse.
"Kid, you have no right to speak in such a way with us." said a woman whose whole head was covered in a mask. The woman looked very sexy and appealing even though her head was covered by a gas mask which looked like it was made during world war 2.
"Why are you getting irritated Death? Got bored after flirting with Wade?" John asked as Death had a very complicated history with Deadpool.
"You... How do you know this?" Death was taken aback when John called out on her secret crush on Deadpool. John didn't reply to her but said to everyone.
"Why don't you all come inside? I am sure you have not come to this universe just to get mocked by a mortal like me. We can talk inside."
Saying that he walked in. All the other Gods were thoroughly confused about how John knew of Death's fascination for a mortal. They all were omnipotents but they could never cross boundaries and could look into each other's lives. But John here actually knew of them and their secret lives.
"He is different from all of us. Tread very carefully. His existence gives me a smell of one place which I myself fear a lot. Aeons of roaming in the void made me aware of many things and trust me when I say this. He isn't simple." said another being. That person was Oblivion.
It is said Oblivion is the only God which roams the void outside the multiverse. Oblivion looked like all other human beings in shape but the difference was that nobody had seen his face as his face was always covered with a cloak and the only thing that could be seen was his eyes.
They all were surprised by such words of Oblivion. They never expected that he would have such high evaluation of the new host of the Phoenix Force. Even though they took notice of him for sometime but nobody cared.
Until they killed Black Winter. And he was responsible for winning half of the battle and later becoming the perfect host of Phoenix Force.
