All stepped back a little while Triss, Yen and John stood side by side. John had asked them to help him control Trigon and make him be under his control. Of course this was a false play to confuse everyone. Triss, Yen, Trigon and John would all act in this whole drama to make everybody believe that Trigon was under their hands.
Yen and Triss conjured magic and made a whole circular space surrounded by magical elements. John took the red crystal from Raven and flicked it inside the sphere made by Triss and Yen.
John then started uttering spells that had no meaning whatsoever. Everybody's face was tense as they thought it was the real deal and just hoped that nothing goes wrong in the whole process. John went on uttering spells after spells while all watched.
After about half an hour John stopped. Triss and Yen removed the magical barrier that they had put up. John showed a face of exhaustion after he removed the helmet. Banner went and took him on his shoulders so that John didn't fall.
"Was it successful?" Raven asked as that was the concern for all.
"Yes. Your father will now listen to commands of none others but ours." John said while giving a thumbs up.
"We need to take you to rest." Tony said with concern.
"It's fine. I will be alright after some rest." John said.
"Now let's summon Trigon and talk to him."
"Are you sure about that?" Steve asked as they were still sceptical about the whole control thing.
"It will be fine Captain." John assured as he brought the red crystal in his palm and did a small false magic again.
The next second Trigon appeared in front of them. He looked bigger than what they saw in the movie. He had 4 glowing orange eyes and had red skin with spiky horns on his head.
All were in defense mode as they still thought Trigon might attack and was not under their control. But then Trigon got to his knees and said.
"Any commands my King."
Everybody was dumbfounded by this act of his. They never expected the lords of many worlds to bend the knee in front of John.
"Be in the crystal and help Raven whenever she needs. She is your daughter. It's time you treat her as such." John said.
"Understood my King." Trigon said. John then summoned him back to the crystal and threw it to Raven.
All looked at John with wide eyes, even Vision had a weird look on his face when he looked at John.
"What?"
"Have you become so powerful that you can bring a pseudo God under you?" Natasha asked.
"No. The crystal helped me a lot in controlling him. I am the Lord of Order so I have some perks under my belt. Don't think it's that easy. He wasn't in his full power." John said in order to try breaking their dreams of him being powerful.
The coming of Black Winter had stressed many people but some finally saw hope in John. As they were talking and congratulating Raven as she was finally able to drive away the nightmare that she had been suffering, they heard a sound from above only to see a falcon shaped spaceship coming down.
It was the Milano. But this Milano looked a little different than the actual version. Lex Corp had already started making spaceships and Milano was remodelled. It had now phantom drive installed in it.
"Is that the raccoon's ship?" Hal asked.
"Yes."
The Milano landed nearby and out came the famous Guardians of the Galaxy. Gamora, Drax, Groot, Quill and Rocket.
"Hey man. How have you been? Your team looks bigger than I thought. You have children too?" Rocket said.
"Yes. And you will be babysitting the children for the time being. Hello all, how has the space been?" John replied.
"It is good and profitable. Having a Green Lantern around is surely a good thing." Quill said.
"Wait wait. What do you mean babysitting the children?" Rocket asked again.
"This group of children will be handed over to you for a mission." John replied Rocket.
"Mission? I will take the children as long as you pay us well." Rocket said as he didn't care about the children. All he cared about was the money.
"Sure, you can go to Xandar and ask Lex for the money. I will inform him." John said.
"Did you just say Lex?" Wayne asked.
"John had Lex under his thumb when he was in Xandar. He made Lex build a company in Xandar that sells spaceships built on the phantom drive system. John is not only a billionaire on Earth but also billionaire on galaxy status." Victor said.
"And you never told us about it. What a way of showing friendship John. And you too Victor and Barry." Tony said with mock anger.
"What did you want me to say? A sadistic man who has stripped free will from a living person that always does my bidding?" John said.
"You just brought Trigon to his knees. Do you think telling us about Lex would have affected anything?" Clint said.
