Chương 408: Disagreement

They all went in. This was the first time that all the cosmic entities were invited to the home of a mortal. Even though technically John was God, he wasn't born abstractly like the others. So all the Gods had different views about John.

John had gone and sat on his sofa while the others sat in the vacant places. Everybody had no problems with that but when Death sat at the sofa, it got obliterated into nothingness. Death who saw this stood there awkwardly. Her powers were related to death and destruction and sometimes she had no control over it.

Seeing no solution she made a throne for herself made of bones. John who saw this didn't mind as he could just obliterate it later.

"So I think this is the first time all the cosmic entities were together. Am I right? Or am I missing something?" John asked.

"No. This is the first time we have all been together." said a woman. She had weird yellow colored transparent markings all over her body. She was Infinity, sister of Eternity, counterpart of Death. The multiverse had all counter parts of each abstract being. Like Eternity's counterpart was Oblivion. And like Infinity's sister, Eternity too had come with all of them.

He looked like he was made of stars. Just like the model of Alien X. The only difference was that Eternity had massive horns in his head and the stars were more prominent in his body as opposed to Alien X where the stars were very small and negligible.

Watching Eternity was one of the most mesmerising things.

"Then I should be honoured to bring all of you together for the first time." said a voice. There was a small fiery bird which sat on the shoulder of John. Phoenix Force had itself come out to converse with all of them. Before, the Phoenix Force could never manifest herself in the real world for a long time. But this time it was different.

"Phoenix. Are you alright? Is he really the perfect host?" Eternity asked.

"Yes. John is the one I had been searching for. His powers are aligned with me. You don't have to worry about the crystal. It's safe and will always be under our protection." Phoenix assured everyone as that was one of the main concerns of the abstract beings.

"We trust you." replied Infinity.

"I don't." suddenly came a reply to the last person among the Abstract beings. The man looked like he was half of everything. His body was painted from top to bottom by equal portions of black and white color. He looked the most weird and probably the bad apple in the whole lot of the Abstract Beings.

The In-Betweener.

He was an agent of Lord Chaos and Master Order. Like the DC universe, Marvel too had chaos and order. And unlike Lords that existed in the DC universe, Marvel had only agents who represented both of Chaos and Order.

But John always had prejudice against him. He believed that the In-Betweeener always tilted towards Chaos and his history wasn't so good to begin with.

"It's fine if you don't trust. We didn't ask for your validation. The crystal will stay with us. Whether you like it or not." John replied in a sharp tone.

All became silent when John replied that. They had come for a normal conversation but it seemed like not everybody was aboard with this gathering.

"You are just a mortal. You have no right to hold on to the crystal." In-Betweener said.

"Let's be honest here. Phoenix had been with many hosts before but none of you had shown up to them. You all are not here for the crystal, you are here to test me." John said.

"When I was small I hated exams and all kinds of tests. One of the reasons why I left school. It was childish of me for sure, but that habit remained with me. I don't like tests. If you are just to do that, then you can please leave my home. I don't like being disturbed after a long day of work." and saying that the door of the house opened by itself.

It showed how irritated John was by the cross examination of In-Betweener and the other beings who were silent about this treatment.

"How dare a mortal talk to me like that." In-Betweener said. But what came next was not what he expected.

He was welcomed with a kick on his head. A kick that was powered by Alien X, Lord of Order and Phoenix Force. The kick was so powerful that In-Betweener was thrown right out of the House of Mysteries.

This created a massive hole in the wall of the House and even destroyed the surrounding furniture and books. All the other cosmic entities didn't expect that John would be so violent that he would attack another abstract with no restraint whatsoever.
