Chương 258: The identity of the enemy

"Oh. Fuck me." Hal spoke as he saw 4 others emerging.

"No point in cursing. We need to fight. Give your all. Make small teams and attack them. Make sure you stop them for speaking." Wayne said.

"I really want to know where they come from." Flash said as he just appeared to talk with them.

"Barry, separate all of them from each other. We all need to bring out our Pokemons too in this battle." Wayne said. And thus everybody summoned their Pokemons. And no further instruction was required as they started attacking again to confront the new enemies.

John who saw all this was angry now. He really didn't expect that their universe would be visited by these people. They were the 'black priests', also known as 'Field Surgeons of the Multiverse'. They are basically the 'white blood cells' of the multiverse. It was the multiverse's defense mechanism to stop it's destruction. But John was confused too. Because he knew the story of Black Priests. So when they appeared he had already checked his Earth for the presence of the person for whom the Black Priests might have come but he couldn't find any such person.

That person was Owen Reese, the molecule man.

That's why John was mainly confused as he didn't know the reason for the arrival of the Black Priests. But it didn't stop John in trying to stop the Black Priests. They basically have a hive mind and their powers are related to their letters. Only one letter can be spoken by one person and when all the Black Priests utter the letters in sequence and complete a word, they could basically rewrite reality.

For example if there are many Black Priests and all of them spoke 'Destroy'. Then the whole word will actually happen and the whole universe would be destroyed. For this reason John was scared of them and he tried his best to stop them in completing a word. Even though he couldn't understand their words he needed to stop them from completing their words.

As the 4 new Black Priests emerged everybody got more serious while fighting. They divided into small teams of magicians and Avengers and fought against them. The Black Priests finally stopped defending and now were actively attacking. Even though they tried speaking their letters, the Avengers and the magicians were successful in stopping them from completing a word.

Darkrai and Wanda even tried invading the minds of a Black Priest but was hurt in return. They understood that mind controlling powers won't have any effect on them.

"What did you see Wanda?" Yen asked as she defended against the attacks of the Black priest's magic.

"Information. Lots of information. They have a hive mind. We can never control their minds. That would be suicide." Wanda replied. Ciri meanwhile got really irritated and directly used her dimensional power on the sword to cut the head off of one of the Priests.

This sudden death of a Black priest made them all stop attacking. John thought finally there might be light in the end of the tunnel as he saw the Black Priests stopping to attack. But the next moment he saw 5 more members of the Black Priest emerging.

"Are you f**king kidding me?" John said in a very angry tone.

He then proceeded to use the bio-fission magic of himself to make multiple copies of himself. It was exactly like the clones of Strange during the infinity war fight on Titan. Then the main John proceeded to transform himself to Phoenix.

The Avengers knew that now John was really angry. He never used his Phoenix powers in so close range as it might hurt the other members. But now John didn't care after the emergence of 5 more members from the broken glass.

"We can fight like this all day and you will lose. It's better to let the leader of the Black Priests come out. I need to talk to him." John said. The new Black Priests who emerged stopped from attacking and 'looked' at John for a few seconds.

"Call your leader or we can continue the fight like this. I don't mind bringing the Asgardians in this fight. They would be happy to join us and with numbers we can easily overwhelm you." John said. But as he said that there was a rainbow bridge that fell near. Out came Thor and his friends. It was probably Odin and Heimdall who saw them fighting from Asgard and sent them to help in this fight.

"See, even Thor is here. Better call your leader. I am sure he is listening and watching all of this." John said again. The Black Priests turned their heads to look at each other and after a minute of deliberation they stood aside on a line making space for a new person to emerge from the multiverse passage.
