American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

307. Dividing Forces.

"That universe doesn't only consist of one planet, and danger won't always come from the ground. In that Earth, there are all kinds of threats from the universe."

Alex pondered his words carefully and explained the situation in the Wasteland.

"There's a group in that universe that calls itself the Universal Church of Truth. They were previously keen on 'purifying' the civilizations of other planets, and now, they have set their sights on Earth because there is something on Earth that can stop them."

"What is it?" Ashley asked, momentarily taken aback.

Growing up on Earth, Ashley had never heard of any powerful entities existing there. If there truly was something, it should have long been taken by figures like Red Skull or Doctor Doom.

In response to Ashley's confusion, Alex casually replied, "That thing is called the 'Ultimate Eraser.' However, obtaining it won't be easy; in short, it's very troublesome."

Ashley and the others fell silent. Most of them had witnessed Alex's strength, and for him to say it was "very troublesome" was enough to prove that this matter was more difficult to resolve than they had imagined.

"What are we going to do then? The plan here cannot change. Darkseid leaving Apokolips is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we can't let it slip away," Clark said, somewhat worried.

"But we can't ignore the Wasteland either; that's the place where we'll be living in the future. How can we let those alien beings take over?" Barbara also spoke up.

"So..." Alex stood up, appearing conflicted, and stroked his chin. "We might have to split up. Some will stay here to continue the counterattack on Apokolips, while others will return to the Wasteland universe to stop the Universal Church of Truth."

"I'll go back!"

As soon as Alex finished speaking, Ashley immediately raised her hand. "The Wasteland is where I grew up. If it's being attacked by some (expletive), I have to go and stop them."

"Hold on, Ashley. I know you want to help the Wasteland, but this isn't that simple. We need strict planning because this matter concerns the futures of two universes."

A strange glint flashed in Alex's eyes as he turned to Raven, who was sitting in the corner.

"First, the first candidate to go to the Wasteland universe is Raven."

"Me?"

"Her?"

In an instant, both Raven and Damian were stunned; they never expected Alex to choose Raven as one of the candidates.

"Yes, it's you, Rachel. I know there are other things sealed within you, but don't worry. As long as you go to the Wasteland universe, the powers of the Trigon won't be able to affect you."

Alex said solemnly, but he certainly wasn't telling the whole truth. The influence of Trigon on her was constant, and switching to another universe wouldn't solve that issue. The only reason Trigon would no longer affect her was that it was part of the contract Alex had with him.

The main reason Alex wanted Raven to leave this universe was to get Trigon away. If Trigon continued to stay here, his demonic power would rise continuously until a new original sin demon was created.

Moreover, it was highly likely that Raven would be drawn to this power, eventually succumbing to darkness and becoming a slave to demons, transforming into the pride of the Seven Deadly Sins.

At that point, it would be extremely difficult to prevent Trigon's arrival, and even everyone present might not be able to withstand the Dark Raven's might.

"If that's the case, then Raven going to the Wasteland universe is indeed a good thing. Your body can hardly bear it anymore, and you'll be able to rest better there," Damian clearly believed Alex, which was certainly due to Alex having healed Dick.

"But, what about you guys?" Raven seemed uncertain.

"Don't worry, Raven. I'll save Bruce," Dick said, approaching her with a warm smile.

"Maybe I should go too. After all, I'm more familiar with the Wasteland. Alex, you just focus on dealing with Apokolips here. Leave the Wasteland to me," Kara suggested.

It must be said that Kara might make a very good ally in the future. She didn't let her newfound connection to her cousin bias her judgment. When faced with a problem, she always seemed to know exactly what she needed to do.

However, Alex shook his head. "There's no need. The sun in the Wasteland is already aging. Even if you go back, you won't be able to unleash your full power, so it's better for you to contribute here."

"Then who should go?" Black Canary asked curiously, gripping Thor's hammer tightly, feeling a bit anxious.

Upon hearing this, Alex pondered for a moment, scanning the faces of those present. No one flinched under his gaze; they all silently awaited his decision. Finally, Alex withdrew his gaze and spoke slowly.

"Besides Raven, Kate, Barbara, and Billy, you three should also go. Additionally, to help familiarize you with the Wasteland, Pietro, I'm entrusting them to you."

"Leave it to me," Pietro said with a confident smile, not rejecting Alex's assignment.

At the same time, Alex turned his gaze to a certain individual and a demon at the table.

Noticing Alex's look, Constantine sighed and lit a cigarette, waving his hand. "Got it, got it. We'll go too. Don't worry; we won't let your precious Wasteland fall into trouble."

As he spoke, Constantine nudged the demon Etrigan beside him. "Right, old friend?"

Etrigan groggily rose, first glancing at the aura of original sin radiating from Alex, then flipped back down, but he didn't refuse.

"Then the candidates are settled. Quicksilver and Constantine will lead the team. Raven, Shazam, Batgirl, Batwoman, and Etrigan will go to support the Wasteland. I'll stay with the others to deal with the mess in this universe."

Alex surveyed the group, and seeing no one object, he finalized the plan.

Time was of the essence; the shadows looming over both Earths were getting closer, leaving them little time to prepare. To execute their plan successfully, they needed to work together.

This was not only for their own future but also for the future of both universes.

A purple portal opened in the hall, and the group exchanged glances before following Pietro into another universe.

"Pietro, remember to tell my dad not to worry about me, and to keep my two sidekicks safe as much as possible," Ashley couldn't help but remind him from behind.

"Got it, leave it to me," Pietro said with an 'OK' gesture, winking at Ashley before diving into the portal.

Following him, Barbara and Kate quickly caught up, along with Etrigan and Billy, who floated with a magical cloak.

Just as Constantine was about to step into the portal, Alex gently patted his shoulder and spoke in a magical whisper that others couldn't hear.

"Don't forget our deal. This mission is significant, and I don't want any accidents."

"Haha."

Constantine forced a smile, responding somewhat gloomily.

"Same to you."
