Presence was a little stumped by the words of John. He didn't expect John to know of the story of Batman and the Omega beam being used by him and even the story of this.
"The Wall had been broken for sometime and this thing has no relation with the 10th metal or the death of Batman."
"Shit... Changes in the story of that multiverse too. Is there any anomaly in that multiverse?" John asked.
"Not that I know of. At least I haven't felt any anomalies."
"But he did die after Darkseid used the omega beam on him." Presence continued.
"Mr. Presence, I will ask this. Are you losing your control over your multiverse?" John now asked with a serious tone. He was confused by the word Presence because according to the story, after being hit by the Omega beam of Darkseid, Batman survived. It was a very weird way that he did it, but in the end he did survive. This was essentially the start of a chain of events which changed their multiverse forever. For better or worse!
Presence looked at John with squinted eyes for a few seconds. He didn't understand what John had meant by these words at first but looking at John's face he had an idea of something had gone wrong somewhere. He closed his eyes for a few seconds before finally opening it. He had a surprised look.
"How did this happen? Something like this happened and I don't know about it?" Presence's eyebrows creased for the first time. He seemed agitated.
"He travelled back in time. Didn't he?" John asked. Presence nodded his head. This meant that the wheels had already turned but he had no idea how it would proceed, but it was surprising that Presence had no idea that this had happened with Batman and he specifically had to go through many things to understand the situation with Batman.
Presence might be losing his powers in his multiverse. If that was true, then OAA might also lose his powers over their own multiverse. This notion alone scared John. This meant there wouldn't be multiversal God over their head and they would be left with their own tools to deal with problems.
"Am I losing my hold of the multiverse?" Presence murmured. He already knew that there was a lapse of knowledge. This had never happened before. This in itself was absurd and shouldn't have happened. Not in a billion years, but here they were. Presence losing his nigh omnipotence.
This was a first.
Presence didn't speak another word and just vanished while holding his glass. He didn't even say goodbye. But none of the people present thought it was rude. He was an embodiment, the Supreme Being of a multiverse. If one day out of nowhere that belief was taken away from him, that person would be rattled.
"That was that. It seems we can't hold any hopes on higher beings. We are on our own." Banner said as he started walking to the lab. He didn't want to waste any more time.
"I will go and see if I have lost control of my own multiverse. We will pay a visit to you once again to understand what the future might hold if the Wall is broken. It seems like you know a lot about this Wall." OAA said.
"I do know something about it but it seems like the break of the Source Wall might impact differently than I initially thought. I will have to see the Wall with my own eyes then we can discuss further."
"You can ask for anything you like. The Living Tribunal and Galactus would also help you in this regard. Galactus is unique so he will be help us in many ways in defense."
"I understand. I will contact Oblivion to take us to the Wall when we are ready." John said.
OAA nodded his head and after saying his 'bye' he too vanished just like his friend Presence. He was in a hurry as he needed to tour the multiverse and if there was an anomaly. John on the other hand called up GAIA.
"GAIA, go through every database and search for a person named Owen Reese. If anything is being weird, red flag it. Bruce and Matt will help you in this. I want you to be very serious in this investigation." John said to Wayne and Matt Murdock of Earth 616. The Daredevil of this world. Here too he was a criminal lawyer and he would be able to help them in any kind of investigation and search.
Owen Reese or otherwise known as the Molecule Man, was a weapon. And if the weapon was present on Earth then one of his speculations would be correct, though he prayed that was wrong.
Or else they would be in more deep shit than they were now.

"Is there a problem with this person? I can search for him with my Cerebro if you want?" 616-Professor X said as he approached John. The X-men too understood the gravity of the situation that they have been put to. Their whole world was in grave danger now and they needed all the resources available to them.
"No. Don't use your powers on him. Wayne and Murdock, don't use your powers on him if you find. Talk to him gently, show him the bright side of humanity. Show him what humanity is capable of. Show him how beautiful the world can be. Of course this is not required if he isn't present in this world, but if we do find him make sure that he is on our side. He will be our Hail Mary. The last weapon we can ever use. "
"Why do you speak in such a jumbled manner? Can't you tell us the whole picture of what this person is and how he is a weapon. If he is a weapon we will just kidnap him and lock him, assuming the fact that he is super powerful. If he is too much of a threat, we will just kill him. I assume for the good of the multiverse we can sacrifice that." Ms. Marvel came forward and said.
"No. Never even think of restraining him or do anything with him. It will just trigger the destruction of all. I don't want any mishap in this. If it gets out of hand, nobody will be able to save us. And we will have to leave the universe and billions... nigh....trillions of death will be on you. I will explain the case when the time is right. Under no circumstances will a person approach Owen Reese if he is ever found out. I don't want to trigger an avalanche that will destroy the multiverse. Is that clear?" John said as his voice slowly rose so that all could hear his voice loud and clear. OAA had given him free reign in the multiverse and even the Living Tribunal will have to listen to him.
He never liked bossing over someone but in this he would have to take the lead. He couldn't be a bet-protagonist. Especially in 616. Here people had less trust in him so the only thing he could do was establish a chain of command and authority to keep things in check.
"I know you all have many questions and some of you are curious about what is happening on the other side too. In due time I will reveal everything. Only thing I ask of you is patience. Let Bruce and Matt investigate. Only after the results can we take action. I assure you that I am very serious in saving the multiverse and every universe is important to us. Collapse of a single one will just lead to the collapse of everything and this will just be a nightmare, so every single universe is important. So please trust me here on this and don't make any kind of hasty decision." John warned them again.
The Avengers looked at John and at least from his face they got to know that whatever was scaring John must be really a story to rattle John in this regard. Even during Knull he looked cool and calm and never showed any kind of fear. But the prospect of losing the multiverse was one hell of a fear it seemed.
"Shadow, send some symbiotes to Earth and hide among many hosts on Earth. Actively search for any trace of Owen Reese, you have seen my memory. Upload the information to the Codex and let Klyntar send symbiotes to the multiverse. I want as many worlds as possible."
"Got it."
Shadow, that was the name John had given to the symbiote that had attached to him as he became the King in Black. Matt and Wayne wouldn't be the only ones searching for Owen. And symbiotes would be a good way to send more trusted people on this manhunt. He had also shared what kind of person Owen was and what kind of precautions they would need to take if they found him.
"I will be back in a few minutes. I need to consult some people who have massive knowledge of the Source Wall. When I come back, I will take some of you to see the Wall." John said as he vanished from his spot. He needed to consult with the Maltusians for knowledge of the Wall.
They were the most ancient beings who had knowledge of the Wall and they would be able to guide him more effectively. There were very few Maltusians left now and they were called by a very different now and respected very highly.
They were the Guardians of Oa.
