"I am not. But I was sent by them to talk to you and negotiate." Uatu said.

"Negotiate? You want to negotiate for this guy?" John asked, pointing at Thanos.

"Yes. They need him for a bigger purpose."

"Him? Are you sure he is required for a bigger purpose? He can't even change his ideology even after getting crushed. He is way beyond redemption." John refused.

"They will convince him." Uatu said.

"Who are you representing here? The Timekeepers? The Celestials? Who?" John asked as he was now curious about whose direction Uatu came here.

Uatu pointed his finger high up in the air.

"Eternity?" John asked. Uatu shook his head denying it.

"Higher than him. Much higher. I have a feeling you know him too since you know all the gods from what I can see." Uatu said.

"Wait, you mean HIM? The HIM? That is impossible. Why would he care about ants like us? He would never care about neither him nor us." John said as he understood who Uatu was referring to now. He got scared now.

From the signs of Uatu, John understood who he was referring to.

One Above All. OAA.

"I don't know John. I am just following orders. I don't know what his plans are."

"F**k." John said. He was stumped. He had been waiting for this fight all his life. And now a much higher being comes and stops him. He didn't know what OAA had plans for Thanos.

He never did care about anything, so he was confused about why he cared about a guy who had no importance in all of the multiverse. He was a villain for sure in most universes but not so high and mighty enough that OAA would care about him.

"Why should we give up Thanos? We have battled him fair and square. Sure we ambushed him, but why should we just allow him to run free. He wants to kill half the population. That itself is the greatest crime ever." Strange said, he voiced the opinions of all of them.

"Yes. Why should we? We have been waiting for him for such a long time." Peitro said.

John on the other hand was looking blankly. They really didn't have any choice in this. No matter what they are way too weak to even negotiate. They could be wiped out in seconds if OAA wished it so. He clenched his fist. He was really powerless here. No amount of power would allow him to be as powerful as OAA. Not now at least.

"You can take him. But I will make a fake video of us killing him and show it to the universe." John said.

"Wait, John no. I know they are gods that are asking us, but we can't let this guy go. We all will fight for it. Wanda now has powers to alter reality. She will help us in this. Vision can't always be living in danger." Tony said.

"Yes. I can't let Vision be in danger. We just can't." Wanda said.

"Whoever this God is, we will face him. Together." Loki said as he too wasn't ready to leave Thanos. A guy who killed another version of him, he could never let it go.

"Do you think we have a choice? Ants don't have the power to negotiate with elephants." John said with a huge sigh.

"So what? Millions of ants can over turn an elephant." Tony as he charged his thruster and pointed at Thanos. Thanos had been silent all this time. He had no idea why he was at the negotiating table, but he would take any chance he could get to be away from Avengers.

He could always come back with bigger force and take away the infinity stones.

"Millions? Even billions of us wouldn't be enough. Even the whole universe wouldn't be enough. Tell me Tony, do you still want to try?" John said. Everybody's face looked desperate when John said that.

They thought that the God was like Thor or maybe a little more powerful than Thor, but John's description just wiped away the whole table.

"The hell." Barry shouted.

John then again turned his head to Uatu and continued.

"The arrangement remains the same. Thanos should die in the eyes of this universe. And he will be hunted down by the Avengers the moment he steps in this universe again." John said strenly.

"Deal." It was Immortus who replied.

"Uatu, why did you send him to negotiate? You could have come by yourself." John said, mocking Immortus.

"Because Thanos will be with the three of them." Uatu said. John's eyebrows raised when Uatu said that. By three here Uatu referred to the Timekeepers.

The actual Timekeepers who existed in the universe.

Immortus was the future version of Kang. Kang was selected by the Timekeepers to look over the timeline in all of the multiverse. John wasn't sure if the Kang in Loki's story and Immortus here was the same guy. Immortus had a mask on his face and his whole body was covered, so he had no way to differentiate. Magic had no effect on him.
