John had teleported. He was back to his first ever planet summon. When it happened for the first time, he was ecstatic and for a moment he couldn't even believe it. The system was so powerful that it had brought a whole planet into existence, never mind the individuals.
But now that he had a general direction of the source of power for the system, he could understand why the system was so OP. Anything from the Wall was extraordinary. There was an instance when a White Lantern once managed to cross the Wall without breaking it. It was said he became a God after doing this.
This alone signified how powerful the Wall was. The only difference was that there was the Source Wall on their side too and they needed to do everything possible to save the multiverse, and this time it was two multiverses.
He was sure that the DC people on the other side would try to do the same but their plot had changed. He wasn't even sure if they would succeed. In the comics they were able to succeed because there were many coincidences.
Lex was betrayed by Perpetua so he turned on her. Then the change of allegiance of Super Boy Prime which saved Diana at the end and of course when the Hand came to see what the hell was wrong with the multiverse.
The Hand.
This was a mystery for John too. Very little was said of them. Only thing that could scare Perpetua. Perpetua, who was said to be the mother of the multiverse, feared the Hand so it could already be understood how scary they were. And their multiverse was saved just because the Hand had a change of heart and took pity on them at the end as they fought the army of the Batman who Laughs.
The Hand was probably more powerful than Presence and OAA. And John didn't want to leave this on chance. He needed to save them, long before there was intervention by the Hand. Perpetua and her minions needed to be killed.
The epic story was revolving his mind while he landed at the Citadel. Since he had appeared out of nowhere there was nobody at the Citadel. But he had already alerted the Guardians to appear. He even asked the Blue Lantern Guardians to appear in this meeting.
After a minute of wait, the Guardians from different directions came flying in and took their positions at the Council. Since Ganthet and Sayd were not near, they had appeared at holographic form.
"John Jameson, why the sudden summon?" Appa asked. This might sound rude but it was not. The guardians had been stripped off from the emotions after they had decided to make the rings, so this sounded pretty normal to John.
"The Source Wall is going to break. We need your expertise."
The Guardians who had a normal look on their faces while sitting gripped their armrests. This news was something none of them expected. Not even in their wildest dreams.
"How is this possible? There is no Source Wall in this multiverse. We have checked. There was not supposed to be one." Appa said while trembling. Even his voice was breaking when he said that.
"There is a Source Wal. And it's pretty alive and kicking." said a voice which didn't belong to any of them present in the Citadel. The voice had just appeared out of nowhere, because the person had just teleported himself here.
Normally, they would be on alert as a person had appeared at the Citadel without alarming the defense system of the Oa. But the person who appeared was an acquaintance.
Oblivion!
He was the God of the void outside the multiverse. John suspected that he was the Guardian of the Wall, since he had always stayed outside the multiverse. Even the Guardians weren't fazed by his sudden appearance. They had seen him in John's memories before so they weren't surprised
"You have been looking over the Wall, haven't you? But told the people that you are guarding the void."
"Yes. A necessary lie to fool people and stop them from being curious about a thing which we almost know nothing about. It's fortunate that you know a bit of them, but I can assure you that they would be more scary than you know."
"I understand. So, Guardians, you heard it. The Source Wall exists and it is in the Void." John said.
"We will send half of us to the crack with a team of Green and Blue Lanterns. Since you informed us, I assume that you too have made a team for inspection. Give us 24 hours to assemble a team which would be best for this kind of mission. Oa as of now will pull its resources to manage the Wall and we would be in a state of emergency till the problem is solved. All in favor." Appa said in one breath. He didn't even hesitate a bit in saying this.

All the others raised their hands in favor of declaring emergency for the Green Lanterns and establishing a super-powered team for handling the Wall. The cracks in the Wall would require a team of Green Lanterns to monitor it all the time and make sure there were no unwanted leakages from the Wall.
They would have to establish temporary stations near the crack too. They needed a proper base to deal with the enemies which might emerge from the Wall. This would take a long time and proper management and for this reason the Guardians wanted some time to gather and manage the necessary resources for establishing a base.
John didn't utter any more words and looked at Oblivion.
"I will be at 616 in the time being. Where can I meet you?"
"After the Guardians are ready I will go to 616 to pick your team up."
"Cool. See you tomorrow."
John vanished and appeared again at the Ring. GAIA's mainframe was still here but it had lost connection after a small part of her was taken to 616 so he needed to talk with her and ask her to search for Owen Reese in their universe too. Though he wasn't sure if the Molecule Man would take the same identity of their world too, but at least they had one narrow path to look for.
Molecule Man or in this case Molecule men were the human weapons the Beyonders had made to blow up the multiverse in one single explosion. The Beyonders were beings which had come from beyond the multiverse. Their origins was always a mystery but now that he thought about it after the knowledge of Source Wall, he guessed that Beyonders had also come from the Wall.
It made perfect sense. The Beyonders were really powerful, so much so that they were able to defeat all the abstract beings, including the Living Tribunal. And the only way they would have a chance to defeat the Beyonders was by using the weapon the Beyonders themselves made.
Using Molecule Men. All John needed to do was find one and everything later will fall in place. Using him as a lightning rod he could go to various multiverses and catch the Molecule men and use the same way Dr. Doom did to defeat the Beyonders. Use their weapon against themselves.
Now John had only one fear. If the Beyonders got any whiff of what was happening, they would just trigger the weapon. Molecule Man was kind of a weapon which would explode on every Earth if they triggered it. And in the multiverse, Earth was the centre and the main reason that every universe existed, it was of paramount importance that every Earth existed in the multiverse.
If even a single Earth gets destroyed, it would trigger an Incursion and each Earth would just crush on another Earth from the multiverse and thus destroy the multiverse. In this multiverse, Earth was really important and a small change in its state would just prove doom to everything.
It was for this reason, there had always been superheroes on Earth. Humanity progressed slowly but their importance to the multiverse could never be looked down upon. Molecule Men was the key here and they needed to be very careful in handling this if he ever existed.
"GAIA, search for a person who might be named Owen Reece. He might have a power of manipulating molecules of every non-living thing around him. Check all the cameras over the course of time and inform me if there was a person who displayed any hint of such kind of power. Make it discreet and any progression report to me or any other Avenger. I might be away for a few days so start working on it."
"Hmm.. It seems like this person is really important." GAIA said as she appeared as a hologram.
"Yes. The multiverse is at stake if he exists." John replied.
"Alright, I will start going through all camera videos that existed until now. This might take time as there is an unimaginable amount of data."
"It's alright. Take your time. Just make sure you go through thoroughly. I will be away anyways. Only some of the Avengers will be home."
John then sat down and meditated. Since he was in the universe he was accustomed to he needed to see if there was a Molecule Man. At the end he had omniscience here so it shouldn't be hard for him to find. And thus he started to search on Earth.
He meditated at his own house for a good 30 minutes. There was no Molecule Man on Earth. He had gone through all Owen Reece but he found none threatening. He still asked GAIA to work on this because it was Beyonders they were talking about. Beings which defeated the Living Tribunal like it was nothing, and destroying the multiverse was their version of fun.
Such beings would definitely put up counter measures even if what they were doing was termed as 'fun' by them.
