"These people need to be wiped away forever." Thor said as his eyes blazed with lightning. Though he wasn't from his universe, the blatant use of a powered being to wipe away everything wasn't acceptable.
Reminded him of the Black Winter and the Ragnarok's prophecy. It was all over again. And this time he needed to make sure he wasn't as helpless as last time.
John didn't say more and asked the Captain to go through a portal that he had just opened. He was in the multiverse of DC, the place where the Lord of Order was, so opening portals was still on his powers in the multiverse.
And the place he was going was Prime Earth. The place where the Batman who Laughs ruled over. Their own continents. Their own Earth and John needed to go there to give all of the enemies a piece of his mind. The others would probably destroy after seeing everything in reality.
He needed to bring down Batman who Laughs before he could do more damage. He needed to make sure that this guy doesn't get the hand of Dr. Manhattan. Then it would become a race against time, if it hasn't happened yet that is.
If it has, then it would be a huge fight and the multiverse might break in their terms. John wanted the multiverse to break on his own terms. The Hand wasn't a cookie cutter organisation and it would be very tough to convince them after what the multiverse had done to itself.
Arcadia went through the portal and soon they reached the universe where the Prime Earth was located. John proceeded to keep the portal open and make it bigger so that the Harvester could enter through it. The portal was placed near the Wall so he was sure other magicians would be able to understand that it was the handiwork of John.
For caution John even put a special magic on it which was recognizable only to Dr. Strange and Wanda and also made sure that only magicians from his Earth would be able to identify this. After making all the arrangements of the portal Arcadia left for Prime Earth.
It would take some time to reach the Earth from the edge of the universe. Thor was looking around the universe, though he lost his omniscience like he had in his universe, he could feel how foul this universe was. This universe was looking dead and seemed like it had fallen into depravity.
"Spirit Bomb would be very hard to gather in this universe." Goku commented as he tried to feel the good things that were left in this universe. And after a few hours of travel they had finally reached the solar system and soon the picture of the Earth was visible.
And whatever the series John had said came out to be true. GAIA had already mentioned that the Earth wasn't their old Earth anymore and there was a huge difference in the distribution of continents. John used his powers to find Diana and it seemed she was in Themyscira inside her own castle.
"Arcadia, hide behind Jupiter and I will take these people away." John ordered.
"Okay." Captain Haddok didn't raise a question because the things here were out of his own control and though like others he too wanted to help as he himself had lived a life where he lost his world, he knew better that the forces here weren't normal so it was better to do their part and help instead of giving away their life and the crew meaninglessly.
John opened a portal to Themyscira and everyone walked inside. When they reached the other side, they saw that there were stairs going down towards an underground cave. The cave looked old but it seemed strong. Thor, Goku, Luffy, Zoro and John went downstairs slowly.
Luffy's head turned and looked at the cave walls as he could feel someone just peeped onto him.
"Who is it? Come out?" Luffy roared. He never liked people who sneaked. John also felt it. In fact he already knew who had peeped just now. It was the Swamp-thing. Well, the partial Swamp-thing or whatever was left of him.
The change of the world has already put him almost to the death door. The world was filled with radioactivity and thus killing off the natural plants and trees making him useless day by day.
He was dying and only in Themyscira did he feel little good. He had been in the castle since the world was formed and guarded along with Diana.
"It's alright Luffy, he is a friend. The Swamp Thing." John said.
"Who?" Luffy asked as he had already forgotten most of the characters that he had seen before. Zoro was ashamed seeing their captain don't even know who the members were. It would be a miracle if this guy didn't hurt their own teammates.

Swamp-Thing that was peeping on them was stunned hearing these words. He had peeped because he heard and felt some people approaching the castle and they had appeared out of nowhere.
He didn't even know how these people had just sneaked in the country without his knowledge and he had never seen them before. They didn't belong to the deranged company of evil Batman and that's for sure.
This Straw Hat guy definitely had some screw loose but he could feel that these people who had just shown his face were actually good. He went to Diana who had just arrived from a general meeting with Batman who Laughs to inform her.
"Diana, there will be guests soon."
"Guests? Who?"
"I don't know but it seemed like they seemed to know me. They could feel me from the walls of the castle."
"Really? Another one of Batman's tricks?" Diana thought as she waited for her new 'guests'.
After a minute or two there was a knock at the door. Diana moved her hands and the door opened slowly. From the other side a man who looked kind of handsome and had a normal outfit walked in. But she could feel the power just from the position she sat. She could feel the sleeping giant inside this person.
Being a goddess herself she could feel the power. The power which could rival ancient beings of their own world. This terrified her. And behind them were other monsters. A guy who had blonde hair and he too seemed like he belonged to her lineage but she could also feel that the power has dimmed quite a lot.
But then again she could feel that this person could fight toe to toe with her. The other three were unique in their own ways. Especially the guy with spiky hair. This guy too had immense power.
"Welcome to Themyscira. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Diana said cautiously,
"Did you open a hotel service or something?" John asked as he smiled at her. Though it wasn't the same Diana of his world and his summon, it was still the same Diana to him. She looked like the one he had summoned and in fact this version of her with the golden crown looked more beautiful.
"No! Can you please tell me who you are and why are you here? I had a tough day so I don't have much time to entertain anybody." Diana said with a stern expression.
"Same old arrogance. Thor, why do your gods all have that attitude." John said as he still was humorous. Thor just shrugged his shoulders. Diana couldn't understand what these unknown guys were getting into. If she could, she would have thrown these people out.
"My name is Monkey D. Luffy. I am the person who will be the Pirate King." the moment he finished those words he was hit by Zoro.
"We are not in that world anymore idiot. Hello, I am Roronoa Zoro. I am striving to be the best swordsman in the multiverse."
Later everyone introduced themselves in order to elevate the mood but Diana didn't recognize anyone. She couldn't remember her past because Batman who laughs had already obliterated the Past and the Future and thus her memory had been altered. She could only remember glimpses because of her lasso of truth.
Only that thing made her feel that the world was wrong but even then she could feel that these people were totally new.
"We are from a different multiverse tasked with rescuing this one...." John finally gave away his humorous mood and talked about where they came from. At first Diana didn't understand but John was patient with her and explained where they came from and why they were here.
"You want to save this universe? How?"
"Of course by purging the world from Batman and also making sure Perpetua gets sent away forever." John said.
"Who is Perpetua?"
"Oh you sweet summer child, you have no idea what forces you are dealing with. Sigh!! Let me search for Batman? He will make it clear." John said as he put on the helmet. The world here was really wrong. He could already feel that some forces were trying to make him forget the past. But being a God himself he could protect himself and his friends too.
He needed to find the dead Batman!! And he did. John opened a portal and saw Batman standing on his own grave with his name written on it.
"Brooding about your own death Bruce?"
"Who?" Bruce turned around and threw a batarang at John only to be stopped by John with his hands.
"Calm down, dead guy. I am not your enemy." John said as he needed to take special care for this guy. He was a person who never trusted anyone and was skeptical about everything. He needed this guy on his team.
