บท 412: Captain Universe

"Destruction comes to us all. Nothing is eternal. But as you said against the fight with Black Winter. As a living being, it is in our natural instinct to fight for living." Eternity said. John and others were silent when they heard this. All the Avengers were with John with what he did.

Even though they didn't understand why John made the superheroes as normal beings, they didn't care. They trusted John so whatever decision he took would be backed by the Avengers.

"So are your here to force me to change my decision?" John asked.

"No we are here so that you can rethink of the decision that you took." Infinity said.

"Hmm. Alright.. I will change it back but after sometime. They deserve what they are getting. Believe it or not, sometimes they themselves are responsible for destruction that effects all. They had become too arrogant. I know you don't have the concept of morality but we as humans do. They will get their powers back when they are ready to take the mantle again." John assured for the first time.

When he depowered the Avengers he knew he had to go back to the decision he had made that time but he wanted them to suffer. Suffer the same fate as the X-men. Both Avengers and humans needed to be shown the reality.

"Alright as long as they would be back. We just wanted an assurance as like you we also abhor derailing of natural order." Infinity said.

"Apparently not everybody is on board with your decisions." John said looking at In-Betweener, who had been quietly standing on the side. If there was hatred for any of the Gods, John had that against him.

In-Betweener would do everything for his own interests and benefits. So John wanted to teach him a lesson. And even though they weren't able to reach a conclusion with this fight, John wanted to show that he always had his eyes on him.

In-Betweener looked at John. His face still showed that there was anger but since all came to a agreement, he couldn't say argue back. And truth to be told, he was surprised by the power shown by John. He thought that phoenix was lying when she said John was the perfect host. But this was not the case.

He was able to use his powers freely with no restrictions. Especially with his new form and his weapon. It was as if his body was made to hold the power of Phoenix.

"I know what I am doing. You don't have to remind me what is right and what is wrong." In-Betweener replied.

"Someday I will have to talk with Lord Chaos and Master Order and maybe I will ask them to remove you as the agent of them." John said.

"I would like to see you try." he said while again bringing out his weapon.

"Enough." Oblivion said. Now in a more angry tone as he looked at In-Betweener.

"tch.." saying that In-Betweener vanished. He felt insulted here and none of the others had supported him. He felt out of place so he had decided to just leave. He vowed to take revenge of all the insult he had to suffer here from all of them.

"You had to antagonize him. Don't you?" Oblivion said little bit irritated by constant insults of John at In-Betweener.

"Trust me when I say this. He isn't a good guy." John said.

"We will keep an eye on him since you are insisting. For now we are leaving. I hope you will keep your promise." Infinity said.

"I will. Whenever I give a word I tend to keep it." John replied.

"Ah yes. The another thing which I came here for." Eternity saying that waved his hand. A white blue ball of light floated in his hand. And then it slowly came to Steve Rogers. John and all were surprised by this sudden ball.

Steve Rogers seeing this was confused. They could detect no malice from the ball of light but didn't understand what was this for.

"Is that what I think it is?" John asked.

"Yes. I want him as my Guardian for this universe. I hope you will accept it. This universe never had one. It's time I lend a hand." Eternity said. John nodded.

This ball of light had the power of Captain Universe. The herald and Guardian of Eternity. Made to protect the living in all of the universe. A power is being granted to every Captain Universe born.

The power was known as Uni-Power. A part of Enigma Force, the God of Light. Whose mantle Venom took during his fight against Knull.

Now Eternity had basically asked Captain Rogers to be Captain Universe and be the protector of the livings of the universe until he can pass the power to a later generation in the future.
