"Now leave. Leave before I change my decision." John said in a cold tone while taking his chains back to his vault. His hands were shaking a bit. For the first time since his reincarnation here, he had been forced to step back.
After the chains were taken away, Dark Claw just stood there while rubbing away the non existent filth in his clothes. He still had a smirk under the mask which everyone could see, signifying that they still couldn't kill him and the Avenger's loss.
"See you soon, Avengers!!" Logan said as he pushed a button from a small remote that he just took out. The next moment a teleportation square covered his body and he vanished.
John was just sitting on the floor exhausted. Not because of physical exhaustion but mental. As a team he had been trying his best to hold on to the hope that his multiverse would not be affected by the Beyonders.
The break of the Wall would already create a huge matter to their multiverse so he wanted to make sure his backyard was safe. He killed Doom long before just because of his fear. A fear that the Molecule Man will just destroy everything.
Even after such a long plan, someone still came and threatened them with the same thing. He was tired.
"John, are you alright?" Jean was a little concerned when John just broke down in his position.
"I am fine. I am just a bit exhausted. So much planning. Just to go to waste." John said.
"We can brood over this later. We need to leave. If she comes, it will not only be just mental exhaustion." Thanos reminded them.
"Yeah, John, we need to leave." Barry also chimed to leave. John just nodded and picked up his body by force. He needed to go home and sleep. Maybe it will help me relieve his exhaustion.
Everyone stepped out of the Hall slowly and started to pick up pace to the same direction they came from. Finding a direction was very difficult in the Wall as everywhere looked the same, but John had put a magical mark near the entrance of the Wall.
So now they could follow it. John and others cast their eyes on the dilapidated big structure that looked like something from the ancient ages of their worlds. Now it was all in ruins because of the fight. They didn't have nostalgia about it but rather a sense of defeat in their eyes when they looked at it.
"We will have to inform everyone of this." Lucifer said in a rare serious voice. He too was concerned about the multiverse. Since he came here with Chloe, he had done nothing but fun here and he didn't want to give it away. He didn't want his customers to leave who enjoyed his piano playing and his bar.
He knew that he would probably survive the destruction. But he didn't want just survival but rather live his life like the way it was. Death in trillions will be traumatic to him too.
"We will." John said as he was now flying at high speed in the front while the rest were using their suit to fly at the fastest speed trying to keep up with John. The others could feel that the loss was weighing heavily on the shoulders of John and he wasn't in the right mind at the moment.
Barry and others were concerned a bit for John but there was nothing that they could do. Only hope that this loss wouldn't break him. All his life John had been winning. His luck, his wealth, his achievements... everything that he had touched had turned to gold.
For the first time he had a setback, everyone was not sure how John would handle this.
"We will have to take him to Banner after this." Wanda whispered to others. Everyone nodded their heads. Everyone was shaken a bit except for Thanos and Jean. Thanos had faced loss before so it didn't really matter. And Jean was from 616.
The mutants had been on the run for a long time. So this loss was not so devastating for her. It took the team 72 hours to return to the same place from where they stepped inside the Wall. Now the crack looked larger than they saw it last time.
The death of Beyonders had somehow triggered the Wall and there would not be much time left before it broke apart. It would probably end when Perpetua starts her last mission and faces obstruction.
John was in a low mood as everyone could feel it but after an hour of brooding he realised that he needed to get his shit together and get over this. He needed to take countermeasures and take the battle to the Amalgam Universe.
That Universe was the main enemy this time rather than Perpetua or the Hands.

As they passed by the huge crack in the Wall they were welcomed by rows of Green and Blue Lanterns floating in the void with exoskeleton suits made exclusively by Umbrella where most of the brilliant minds of the multiverse came together.
As John stepped out, he was greeted by a hug from Emma. She had been on the harvester since John had entered the Wall and had been anxious for him. She had read the books of Oa so she had a great idea of how terrifying the Wall was.
Others didn't have the privilege but she did thanks to being the first Green Lantern of her universe. John never spoke much of the Wall to the others or the enemies except for the high echelons of Avengers.
"Hey! Missed me?" John asked as he was hugged tightly by Emma. John gave a smile when he saw her almost on the verge of tears. He could feel anxious. Looking at her, John now was more determined to save their multiverse. He would do everything possible.
Emma meanwhile was looking from top to bottom to make sure everything was alright and even eyed others to see if they had a fight. Thanos had some scratches and rough bruises here as she scanned him with the help of the Ring.
"Ummmmm... I was just nervous for you all this time. Thanos returned in tatters. Didn'r want to see you in that."
The lanterns were expecting the worst so they even made a mobile ambulance in case they needed one. Thanos gave quite a scare last time so they had been ready with the greatest caution. Even the turrets that were on the Harvester were pointed at the Crack now, ready to blow everyone up.
Everyone then flew to the Harvester and they had to go through the procedure of checking to see if there were any problems by any of the people who had returned.
Wayne asked specifically for it to make sure no rat entered their Avengers team, going as far as to check the psychology of everyone who had returned. After a lengthy check at the Harvester, John entered the Command center where everyone was present on the screen.
Only Professor X, Reed Richards from Earth TRN 891 were present physically at the Harvester. Emma didn't enter with John and others as she still didn't have enough authority to enter in such a big discussion. Only Hal Jordan and the Guardians have the access.
John sat on the chair with a dark mood and so did the others.
"Tell me you killed them." Tony was the first to break the silence from the other side of the screen.
"We killed them." Jean gave the answer in a flat tone.
"Then we should pop champagne and celebrate. You returned in one piece and even manoeuvred away from the big Giants that we could see from here." Tony replied. Hearing Tony's words and seeing the smile on everyone's face, there was still no joy on the face of John and his team.
"What happened?" Wayne asked.
"Don't tell me the problem of Owen is still looming on the top of our head." Banner asked, seeing the not-so-joyous faces of John and others.
"My other variants have 10 months to live. Or they will die. I have escaped that cycle but others didn't so we still haven't won." Owen finally answered for everyone present.
"Oh!! So we need to bring each and every Owen to other planets beside Earth and it will be done. Yes?" Captain America asked.
"Theoretically yes. The beginning we didn't touch each and every Owen in the fear that they might alert the Beyonders and detonate. Since they are dead, it should be fine." Diana said.
"Wait!! If Beyonders are dead then how come we have 10 months? How is the timing so perfect?" Clark finally saw the loophole in the words of Owen.
"It is because the real controllers were never the Beyonders. But an organisation that belongs to a particular Universe which has been living inside the Wall from God knows when." John replied.
"A universe inside the Wall?"
"Another Universe?"
People were dumbfounded by the words of John. They had always known that they were people living inside the Wall, but a universe inside the Wall. This was new.
"What is special about the Wall?" Naruto asked.
"This universe has a combination of people that belong to both the multiverse. We came across Dark Claw, a.k.a., Logan Wayne. A person who has the mutant gene of Wolverine and the merits of Batman hailing from Gotham City of his Earth. And that is just one of them. The person who is leading them is a combination of Dr. Fate and Dr. Strange, or commonly known as Dr. Strangefate."
"Eh!!"
"What?"
"What the fuck!"
