"I don't know why but I can't read it. It has never happened before. It can only happen when a being doesn't belong to the multiverse and comes from outside. In other words, if we share the common origin."
Such words surprised John . He already accepted that his system came from the Wall and Chronicler could be said as someone who was from the Wall. This Wall here could be taken as a broader sense here. It could signify that the Wall served as a place between different multiverse. Like his previous world belonged to a place which was outside the jurisdiction of normal multiverses.
It was good that his secret was still safe. Phoenix was beside him and he didn't want his secret to be out in front of her.
"I don't know. Maybe because a part of my power comes from the Wall." Listening to these words the Chronicler went through his memories and he got to understand that his powers did come from the Wall and the Wall was his home.
He was one of those few beings who could cross Wall as he wished and he was given the authority to survey every dying multiverse. And on this case two neighboring multiverse would die and the Wall between them would vanish
He had seen that people living there had already known of it and they were trying to close it but he knew that it was of now help. The beings that were struck in the Wall would soon emerge and would just bring chaos.
He could stop it but he didn't have the authority. He had seen many multiverse but he didn't see such beautiful ones like these two. Both of the multiverse had heroes.
Heroes who rose up and saved their people multiple times. Such couldn't be said for most of the multiverse out there. (this actually happened as the Chronicler said that he didn't such beautiful multiverse in a very long time).
John sighed as bit as he watched Chronicler going through his book while taking in all the history of the multiverse. John's current memory of the present multiverse was enough to tell him a lot, though the Chronicler would still have to visit several multiverse to gather more history.
John's presence attracted him as he huge knowledge of the multiverse.
"Our multiverse is really dying?" John asked.
"From the looks of it yes. The beings trapped in the Wall would soon come out and some of them are omega level entities. This multiverse doesn't have so many omega level entities. There is a chance but is very minuscule."
"We will fight for any chances that we get." John said.
"I hope you do. I will be on my way for completing the book. This multiverse survives or not is up in the air. I need to finish the survey." the Chronicler left after saying goodbye to John.
"He really feels like a robot made to observe and write down. It's very unique that he too has feelings."
John was back at home after having the conversation with the Chronicler. He wished that he could give John some hint about the upcoming omega level beings that was going to wage war, but he wasn't programmed that way.
From his words it already meant that it was a waste of time in helping to stop the Crack. It was better they get ready for the war and bide their time to strike. And for this a convention needed to be set up with all the major players being in the meeting.
It was time everyone met everyone.
John after returning home called GAIA.
"Tell the Avengers that I have called for a meeting among all the superheroes that we have ever come up with and all the other beings that had arrived from other multiverse, we have a decision to make."
"Acknowledged. I will Fury too. He is going to retire soon."
John after entering home sat on his couch. He had already used the system to call upon the kages, the mages from Asgard, Lex and the Captains including the 0th division. After using his system he was back at the Harvester.
Specifically at the lab of TRN891 -Tony.
"Hey John. Whats up? Why the long face?"
"Something happened. Call everyone."
"Everyone? Is it serious? Did some slip by from the crack?"
"No. Not exactly. I will explain when everyone is here."
"Alright."
Soon there was a notification to all the members that were in the Harvester. Even the Queen Mother was given the notification to attend the meeting. And this notification was not only to the crew members of the Harvester, the messages were also sent to all the members of the Avengers, X-men (from 3 realities), Inhumans (from 2 realities) and even Nova Corps of 616.

章節 670: The first visitor from outside the multiverse (2)
The man looked around for quite a bit before he finally laid his eyes on John.
"Oh dear. An omega class entity who has knowledge of multiple multiverses. Interesting." the man said. The others were surprised by the words of the man. They could easily understand that he was referring to John but they didn't understand what 'omega class entity' meant.
Probably a very powerful being. But that was the least of their thoughts right now. Everyone was thinking of only one kind.
Who was he?
Why was he here?
Why does he look so weird? It's as if he came from a civilization which doesn't have any blood and half robotics. And that fire on his head seemed like one of the aliens on the omnitrix of Ben 10.
John himself was bewildered for a bit. He didn't know who he was and he had to go through his memories to see who he was. And then it struck him. The person was present in only one issue of the comics. A person who did a survey on dying multiverses.
Dying multiverses!!
Shit!!
"The Chronicler. To what do I owe the pleasure?" John finally spoke out his mind.
"You know me? I don't remember meeting each other. My functions are acting normal. So you either know me from another source or my memories have been wiped out."
"I know you from another source....." John said and then he turned around and looked at everyone. He could see the curiosity in their faces but he couldn't answer them.
".... Guys, Please leave us. You all will be paid extra if you keep your mouth shut about it."
He was sure that this incentive wouldn't actually make their mouths shut but he tried to make sure that whatever these people had seen wouldn't spread too much. They know that Ring was working on AI so some people fear that the Ring would be able to tell their secrets, though such cases had never happened before.
Everyone slowly left the premises leaving John and the other being alone. He was called the Chronicler. He was sent from outside the multiverse. His book that he was carrying was called 'Codex omniversa'. It was a magical book which recorded the histories of the multiverse that he visits automatically.
The book was a powerful one as it could go though histories of multiple universes simultaneously on its own. It keeps the history. And Chronicler visits multiverses when it is on the verge of dying or in its last breath. The death of the multiverse doesn't mean like Black Winter. Black Winter just starts a cycle of decay and birth of the multiverse.
Here death of the multiverse meant that everything related to the multiverse would come to an end. And Chronicler arriving at their multiverse meant that their time had started ticking.
"Tell me about your multiverse." The Chronicler said.
"You can already read my memories through the book. Just read it."
The Chronicler was stunned by the words of John but didn't refute it. It seemed like the omega being entity that he just met really knew everything about him. The Phoenix who had been sleeping inside also came out to look into the creature that had just arrived. She could tell that this new person was powerful enough to threaten her so she didn't ask John to take any stand or oppose this creature. She would have to say how things turned out.
The Chronicler soon turned the pages of the book and looked into it. There was an awkward silence between them for quite a few minutes. John in order to alleviate the situation conjured two chairs so that both could sit down while he went through John's memories.
There was nothing that could stop Chronicler. He was an immensely powerful being and right now John didn't want any being who came from outside the multiverse as his enemy. Since his function was to go through histories and memories he would let him be.
1Though it was a severe invasion of privacy, there was nothing that could be done.
After a few minutes of reading by Chronicler, he looked at John with a surprise on his face. He didn't even know where to begin and even his supreme book didn't have some pages.
There were missing pages on a being. That had never happened before. Missing pages meant the book couldn't extract some history or memory of the person. This was my first.
"Who are you?" The Chronicler finally asked. He knew who John was but he wanted to know who he was that wasn't written on the missing pages.
"You have read. Doesn't it say everything?" John was confused by his question. Chronicler could even bring the dead to life to extract history and memories as he did when he brought Metron to life just so that he could get his memories as he used to have the Mobius Chair.
