After an hour of wait Lucifer was finally here but he came with Chloe. She had never been to the Ring and had never seen the famous Hall of Justice so she wanted to have a look. Lucifer teleported with her to the Ring.
She had sparkling eyes when she looked around, fascinated by what she saw. She got to see even the team that was going with her lover for the mission. She knew Barry, Wanda but she had never seen Jean before so she was new to her. Owen too was new. But the presence of Thanos was what surprised her.
She had seen him fighting the Avengers on Mars and that fight was apparently long before she came here so she was confused about why Thanos was here and he had weird extensions in his body with metallic parts attached to his arm and leg.
His body looked totally different and only his face which had scars now was apparent. Though she was confused she didn't ask. He trusted his lover and the Avengers.
"Welcome to the Ring, Luci." John said.
"The pleasure is mine. I brought my toothbrush, my towel and various bottles of whisky." Lucifer said, showing them his bag. Jean and Owen were surprised by his words. Owen had a little ugly face. He had read the Bible since his childhood and he was portrayed not in a very good way there.
So he was not sure if this guy could be trusted. History hasn't been good to him and neither was his behavior right now. John on the other hand didn't care. Lucifer always acted like that and he didn't care as long as he helped and he had spent 40 billions more to upgrade his power level. Last time in Hell he couldn't provide much power but this time it's different.
"The Harvester is on its way to pick us up." John said.
In a few minutes the huge spaceship was finally visible. It had been parked a little far away from Earth so that it didn't mess up with the rotation of the Earth and the other moons.
Everybody boarded the ship after it docked near the Ring and after waving their hands at the Hall, the exclusive team left. Many people had come to see them off from the Avengers. They didn't speak any word of encouragement and giving boost to the spirit. This war was just the start and the they have been working in shadows for a long time by killing Owen. This was just another mission.
But very few knew how terrible the Beyonders were. John had always spoken less of Beyonders. It was because he himself knew less of them. All he knew was that Doom was able to defeat the Beyonders with the help of Molecule Man. But he knew the horror of their strength. They defeated The Living Tribunal.
This was a huge feat and he needed to make sure he had all the cards at his hands. Now his own power had upgraded and this battle would be perfect to showcase what he had learnt. After the simple farewell the Harvester was on is way to regions outside the multiverse and it would take some time to reach there.
It was the first time for Lucifer and he looked like a kid who got a new toy. Since the Harvester was so big it had everything ranging from football fields to bars. And Lucifer went straight to bar.
"You cheeky bastard. You have been hiding this place from me for such a long time. If you had said that your spaceship had such places I would have come with you in a jiffy."
"No you wouldn't have. You still love your penthouse."
"Can't argue with that." Lucifer also nodded his head to that. His penthouse was really luxurious and he didn't want to part with it for a long time. Lucifer dove straight to the cellars to drink some whisky and surprisingly Thanos joined him in drinking some alcohol.
John could see that recently Thanos had been giving away his life to alcohol. And John wouldn't stop him. He had spent a majority of his life killing people. Now he was in his own prison. In a few hours they were finally at the place where many had been stationed all the time and under strict vigilance by the Green lanterns.
The Harvester docked with the old spaceship and they all came to the main ship to get their suits. John had ordered for manufacturing of suits suitable for the journey to the Wall a long back. Many had been built as they might need it if they ever go inside the Wall.
Now was one of those cases. Professor X of 616 was temporary leader of the group here with the Guardians. Since all were telepathic they had many things in common.

"Professor, are the suits ready?" John asked.
"Long ago my friend. You can take them.... My friend you have been a boon to us and this multiverse. Your powers have allowed us to have a fighting chance. Though we don't know what kind of beings we will be fighting against, at least we have the knowledge and the heart to come together and fight for a common cause."
John was little taken aback by those generous words of Professor. He did help the mutants of Earth 616 and their presence had now been accepted all over the planet. Surely there was racism but it had gone down a lot.
The disappearance of the Avengers proved too much for the civilians and the government and made them realize how lacking they were when it came to reality.
"It's sad to say but Peace never brings people together. Peace can only douse the fire for sometime but there is common hatred then humanity or any kind of species will look over their differences and come together. History has been observing it for a long time." John said.
"True. Only a common hatred can bring people together. It is unfortunate."
"Hatred is just any feeling, Professor. Nothing more. We as intelligent beings have both love and hatred. Both emotions are overwhelming and can be wielded to acquire more power. We just need to balance ourselves. And decide what is wrong or right. Even that notion of right and wrong is different for many people. Thanos here had a different notion from us. He is not wrong. Only thing was that he didn't have the power. We define right and wrong by our own definitions."
"You are right." Professor said and he too accepted the words of John. In the minds of the racist people they weren't wrong. They were afraid of mutants so trying to kill them was justified as right by them.
"Only strength has the right to speak and decide what is right and wrong. And here too we will have to do the same thing. Only strength can defeat our enemies and establish our own right." John said as he clenched his fist and finished wearing the suit.
The suit looked like it was Black Panther suit with no extra designs or any animal heads over their own head. It was a normal ninja-type suit with a sleek outline and a stretchy cloth. There was a mixture of vibranium and adamantium in the suit, thanks to the other two universes.
"Mike check.. 1..2..3.."
"All clear.."
"Professor we will be off. Pray for us that we come back." Barry said. He was still a little fearful of the world where no known human has stepped its foot in. Thanos was not a human so he didn't count him in his hand. It was good that Barry was just thinking of all this instead of saying out loud. There has been one human who was able to do this and come back alive too.
"Mr. Reese I hope you will be able to get the powers and help us in the war. A lot rides on your shoulders. I hope everyone will come back victorious." Professor said as the Guardians stood behind and bade their farewell. They had a serious face and they too, like others, hoped that the team would return victorious.
"I will try my best Professor Xavier." Reese said. Over the course of time he had got acquainted with all the members of the Avengers and now knew who was who.
With those last words all the members of the team flew away to the Wall. The crack was now as huge as the size of a solar system. From the crack the prisoners who were struck inside could be seen easily now. Their sizes were just as the same sizes of the Celestials.
"These are the Promethean Giants, the vanguards of Perpetua." John said as he could easily see the huge bodies being stuck in their places, unable to move. Though there was a crack in the Wall and Thanos had gone before, it didn't mean any one could just move.
The Promethean Giants weren't really that powerful and were the first to be imprisoned.
"Time to dive in." John said as he reached near the crack and took a deep breath. All this time he had been in his familiar territory. This step would be his first step to a place where he had no idea about.
A place where there were only legends.
"Be alert. safeguard your team and yourselves and especially Owen. Thanos you are responsible for him. We need to reach the Beyonders fast and without making much noise. You are already a fugitive in the eyes of Perpetua so if he finds you we will be dead. Did you mask your presence?"
"Doctor Strange has covered my body with Asgardian runes to make sure that nothing can flow away from my body."
