Uatu didn't know how he should reply to this huge slander of John. Only John could be so audacious about the Gods and not get reprimanded by anyone.
"Tell them I won't interfere but better not be nosy bitches always." John said.
"My work has transformed from being a watcher to a messenger." Uatu complained as he finally sat near him.
"How does it feel to be Hermes?" John joked.
"Not good. No wonder Kratos once cut his legs." uatu said.
"You follow my work too?" John asked as he was surprised. He didn't expect that even Uatu would watch his works.
"In order to get a proper idea of the multiverse outside ours, we too need to adapt,"Uatu said.
"Right.. " John said.
Later they discussed many things. After about half an hour, Uatu left after expressing his gratitude again to Barry and John.
Tony came much later after doing proper interrogation to Apocalypse, as for his motives behind his obsession with Unmaker. But what information came next was not something even John expected.
John didn't think there was something very serious with Apocalypse machinations, but it turned out that for the last one and half year he had been working on Unmaker because another forced him to do this.
A being who lived in an entirely different dimension.
A dimension which was opposite to theirs.
The Negative Zone.
And the person who wanted Apocalypse to work on the Unmaker was Annhilus.
"This is what we have understood. Do you know anything about Annihilus?" Tony asked.
Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
"Annihilus.. " John mumbled.
"The name seems powerful." Barry commented.
"Naming is narcissist. He is a bug. A bug who is extremely afraid of death. A bug who got power because he wields the 'power cosmic' from his dimension." John said.
"A bug.. Like literally or metaphorically?"
"A literal bug. He is paranoid about death and does everything possible to keep himself alive. He lives in an anti-matter dimension. he has a history of trying to attack our universe due to paranoia as he thinks that our universe will be his doom one day." John said.
"A bug that is afraid of death. How ironic!! So he must be quite big." Tony asked.
"He looks humanoid but he just looks like one, but isn't one." John said.
"You said 'power cosmic'. He wields it too like Norrin?" Barry asked.
"No. The power cosmic here is equivalent to the opposite of ours in his universe." John said.
"What is power cosmic?" Tony asked as their universe had no Galactus, so he had no idea of what it was. John then proceeded to explain the history of Power Cosmic and the people who wield it.
"I thought only Unmaker was crazy. Seems like the multiverse is more crazy. If Annihilus is that powerful, how will we counter him?" Tony asked as he was little concerned now.
"We will help you. His presence threats the multiverse too as he comes from anti-matter dimension. I thought the story of Unamaker would stop in this. But it seems like Flashpoint worked his magic." John said.
"I told you. Flashpoint is never easy."
"When did he say that Annihulus will be coming, if he is coming?" John asked.
"He said he had no idea. Charles and Jean are interrogating him more to bring out information." Tony said.
"Hmmm... he has an army of bugs and innumerable soldiers. It won't be easy. But rest assured he isn't that much of a headache." John said as he really didn't care about Annhilus. Anti-matter and matter never went hand in hand.
It was a double edged sword.
And since John had life force on his side, Annhilus and his army of bugs didn't really have a chance.
"You seem like you are not concerned." Tony said as he saw the carefree nature of John ever after knowing that an enemy would be coming to threaten the multiverse.
"He isn't that big of a deal. He is easy to handle." John said.
"Is it? Seems like everything is easy for you." Tony mumbled.
"Rest assured our universe will give you a hand. I might not shoot but others would definitely. So don't worry much about it." John said.
"Where are the guests? You said there will be a party." John asked.
"They will be here in an hour or so." Tony said as he was a little distracted. The emergence of a new kind of enemy prompted him to give birth to ideas for new defense countermeasures.
He couldn't let the fate of their earth be in the hands of others. He was already making plans in his mind of countering it.
John could already guess what Tony was thinking. It's just that he didn't stop him. A person like Tony would never allow someone else to take care of his life.
No version of Tony Stark was made that way.
