"Is there a new enemy?" Kevin asked before John vanished.
"Enemy? No. It's the creator of our universes." saying that John vanished. Kevin was the only one who heard it and he trembled when John said that. He didn't know who it was but just the description that John just gave shook him to the core.
John had appeared in the Hall. And so did the Eternals. He had also called them for this.
"John, you need to find a better way to call us." Tony complained again.
"Sure next time when I become omnipresent and omnipotent, I will knock on your door. How about that?" John said.
"Huh.. Forget that I said anything. How far is this guy?" Tony asked as he finally showed a serious face like the others.
"A minute or so. Let's go outside." John said. All then proceeded to go outside and wait. All had anxious looks on their faces.
John on the other hand directly brought out Ea. Then he used his omnitrix to transform himself to Alien X. John now looked amazing. With a humanoid structure whose body looked like it was made of small stars. And Ea on his hand. He looked like a warrior out of a fantasy.
But that wasn't the end. He, on Alien X form, proceeded to use the Phoenix form. The Marco-Phoenix form. As John used the Phoenix form, the actual blue-golden colour was now total black colored fire with white simmering dots on the whole body.
And there was a vague outline of normal fire on the outlines of his body. This was the power of being the host of Phoenix Force. The Phoenix was at least 5 times bigger than the normal Phoenix form.
This was John's ultimate form. He had used all his powers at the same time. He had used the Phoenix and Alien X form. Since both the powers of his were not dependent on each other, he could use the Phoenix form on all his omnitrix transformations.
John had checked on this a few days ago and now knew that he could use his Phoenix form on all his transformations. This gave a great joy to John. Even though technically it wasn't helpful now in actual power sense but in future it would be of great help.
That meant he could use the Phoenix Force on all transformations of the omnitrix. This in itself would be highly overpowered, if he used both Alien X and Phoenix Force at the same time.
"Jesus Christ. What is this?" Clark exclaimed. All had a surprise on their eyes when John just transformed himself.
"My ultimate form. A gift for Arishem." John as his wings now caught hold of Ea. It looked magnificent even if John was in Phoenix form.
As everybody was appreciating the power of John, there was a big black hole at about 500 kilometres away from the Ring. But mysteriously, the Black Hole didn't have any attraction. The black expanded in rapid speed to a huge sized one.
And then the Black Hole was replaced by a huge humanoid. A humanoid greater than the size of Earth. It looked exactly like the one they saw during the emergence.
There were two notable differences. One was the color. Tiamat was yellow, while this one was red. And another the body Arishem had many scars and various small broken parts. It looked like he had gone through battles ages ago.
As Arishem appeared all the Eternals who were able to move freely froze on their positions. And then circular rings surrounded them. Those small rings took all the eternals up in the air. But before they could be taken away they were directly bombarded with many small knives.
It was John. He used knives to destroy the rings surrounding the Eternals. All then flew high up in the air. Tony had specifically built suits for all of the members of the Avengers to travel in space from Kryptonian technology. They all stood far from the face of Arishem.
This was the confrontation they had been waiting for a long time.
Arishem surprisingly didn't attack or stop the advancement of the Avengers and the Eternals behind.
"It's rude to come to our planet and not say hi. Don't you think so?" Clark said.
"Yeah it's very rude. The last time they went to the abyss, they weren't received well by Knull. I think that lesson was not enough for them." John just chimed him. In a tone which was mocking Arishem. Arishem when he heard the name of Knull moved his head a bit.
None of the Avengers looked fazed by Arishem's huge presence.
"This is not your jurisdiction Phoenix." Arishem finally spoke up.
"Jurisdiction you say? You lost any kind of power or jurisdiction in this universe 5 years ago. You and all the Gods. Only we have the final say here. In this universe. This is where we rule." John spoke up.
And as he did, his Phoenix form became bigger. Almost the same size as Arishem. His figure was so huge that it actually shadowed Earth from the Sun itself.

Arishem didn't have any reaction in his face when John transformed just as the size of him. Or rather, his face was built in such a way that he couldn't show any emotions.
"Arishem. Go back. You won't be taking any Eternals back. Not even the rogue Eros. Everything in this universe is under my protection. Now and forever. You have enough headache of your own. You don't want to add me as your enemy." John said. His words echoed in all of void.
His words were so loud that everyone on Earth was able to hear it.
"This wasn't the deal." Arishem hit back.
"I don't remember having made any deals with any Celestials or higher beings." John retirted back.
"Eternals were made by us. They are under our rule." Arishem said.
"Really? What about the deviants then. The Skrulls which have been living for so many years. What about them? You have no control of your own creation. Wasn't that the whole point of the first war against your fellow beings? Don't try to fool me. None of us are under your jurisdiction. Go home. Deal with the Exterminators." John said.
He stood there with all the other Avengers. With no fear. He himself was a God now so he had the right to speak with them on the same stage.
The Celestials had faced opposition before. From mortals. But never from a lone man. This was the first time. This was an insult to them. An insult to the creators itself. A creation rebelling against their creators.
But Arishem stubbornly levitated there. His 6 eyes flickered for a bit and then suddenly he lifted his hand high up and brought it down. His fist clenched to hit a punch on John.
"So fight it is." John said as he shouted.
"SHAZAM!!"
"Now there is an extra power on John." Tony said. John was able to block the punch with his wings and proceeded to hit back with his other wing.
"Avengers. Attack." John shouted. And thus the first battle for the Avengers against a God started. This day would be written down as the day when the mortals took arms against the Gods.
All the members of the Avengers including the Witcher school and the people belonging to the original team attacked. Tony finally showed up what he had been researching on.
The Anti-metal suit. This suit was special because Vibranium normally absorbs the kinetic energy and then spreads it over as a vibrational force. What it does essentially is converting the kinetic energy into vibrational energy. Of course it can store the energy in itself and then release it later. Like the suit of Black Panther.
But the new anti-metal suit instead of taking the kinetic energy in the body, it just pushes it out. The whole suit was basically kinetic energy proof. This was probably the most efficient use of Anti-Metal. And Tony had made one of the most powerful suits in all of multiverse.
Even the superior Iron Man suit would fail in front of this new suit.
All attacked together. John took the lead as he was the only one who had the same size as Arishem. Followed by Bruce, Vision, Wanda, Clark, Strange, Diana, Thor, Tony and Ciri. These 4 were the most powerful. And Banner who had turned into Hulk also joined in.
The blue and the green lanterns made massive weapons with their rings. And the rest of the Avengers attacked with their strongest attack.
When John punched back Arishem was able to block it but he wasn't able to block the attacks of all 4 and the other members of the Avengers. Even though there was huge difference in size among them. But the power of Avengers weren't small.
Their fist attack was so huge that it caused a huge explosion on the chest of the Arishem. The explosion looked weird because there was no sound being in space but it didn't take away the lethality of it.
John who got the opening took out Ea and held it with his wings. And the next moment he used all his magic power on Ea to deliver a fatal attack.
As John waved Ea, an invisible wave hit the shoulder of Arishem. And before he could even react, his huge hand got severed from his shoulder. This scene looked epic as a Celestial just lost to a bunch of mortals.
Even though such incidents had happened before in other universes, it was still rare. Arishem roared in pain as he just lost his hand.
There was no blood whatsoever as the bodies of the Celestials weren't made the same way as humans.
Arishem who was thrown few kilometres away in all of this held his missing shoulder with his other hand. He didn't attack more. He just looked at this new team of Avengers. A team which became so powerful so fast.
"How was that? Want to continue? We don't mind going for another round." Tony said.
"Go back to where you came from. We don't need your jurisdiction or judgement in our universe. Never step you foot here again." Clark said.
Arishem who looked at them finally sighed. He didn't say anything more and just vanished. Using the same way he came. The Black Hole.
