Multiverse of Marvel - Chapter 787: Darksied (4)
With those words he walked away to the other room. From now he would be the one in charge. DC Batman and DC Diana were confused by the words of this old man. What did he mean by the souls being taken to Seireitei?
Actually, this decision of taking the soul away to Seireitei was taken by John himself when he sent his summons to this Castle. At the end Batman was dead anyways and his life cycle wouldn’t start when this multiverse would jump start itself again.
This multiverse was doomed to die. Both Superman and Batman would be dead by the end. So it was better to save the soul and let them be in Seireitei. Who knows maybe there will be a new Captain level Shinigami in a few hundred or thousand years.
Both of their souls were strong. Batman having the will to live and not getting corrupted by the Black Lantern ring and Superman running even after being subjected to the torture of various Krptonite stones in the room.
Both of these souls were worth saving!! Prime Earth Batman and Superman. Especially a strong Superman who has lived through everything!!
The Captains followed Yamamoto and so did the others.
“Do you feel it?” Batman asked Superman.
“Yes. That direction.” Superman said as he pointed out to a long hallway. Superman could feel it in his bones that in that particular direction there was something ominous and if he went there, there would be nothing but doom for him. Batman too felt it.
It was the effect of the Kryptonite stones that gave both of them this feeling. This was where Darksied was. Yamamoto also listened to the conversation and looked at the hallway.
“A strong soul resides there.”
Meanwhile DC Diana looked in another direction which was under. John had said that she needed to go deep in the Bat Castle and under it to find out the place where the Truth was hidden. She needed to go and use her lasso of truth to bring that truth out which will help her fight Perpetua.
Apparently, the truth was in the Nexus of realities and they might have to go through the remaining realities to get to the cave of truth.
“I guess we will have to separate here.” DC Diana said.
Everyone nodded their heads. DC Diana would be followed by all the Kages, Sasuke, Diana of John’s world, Steve, Flash of both worlds and other members of the Avengers. John had repeatedly warned them to take big guns because they might come across some obstacles in this journey.
In the comics Diana had to face Superboy in order to get to the Truth. She was no match to her and was imprisoned. She had to beg at the end and convince Super Boy to let her go and fight for freedom.
This time John didn’t want that to happen. He didn’t want to let the fate of the multiverse lie on someone convincing the other. Plus, he also knew that Lobo, the Space Pirate Hunter would be of some help in the journey who was sent by Lex Luthor.
At the end he had to remain back in order for Diana to pass. Lobo wasn’t exactly a good guy but he wasn’t a bad one. He would do anything for money so Lex had hired him to look for Alfred Boxes which led the way to the Truth.
John didn’t want him to die for no reason. He wanted as many people to live in this war and thus he had sent the big guns. Superboy wasn’t easy as he was the son of Superman from another universe.
A Kryptonian was never easy. But they had Flash and some of the best fighters of their universe. In fact Doctor Strange was also with them so they had the magical side too which was always a downside for a Kryptonian.
DC Diana’s team got separated while Yamamoto started walking towards the hallway. There were cameras on the hallway which was taken care of by Iron Man from Earth 616. He too, like the other Iron Man, had a Celestial Suit.
The Avengers from 616 had already known the story so they too were taking required steps. The Bat castle wasn’t simple and there were still thousands of Batman and Robins hidden somewhere. Just because the Batman who laughs didn’t mean that their numbers had just vanished away in a span of hours.
“This hallway looks creepy!!!”
“All the hallways look creepy if there is no light.” Dr. Strange as he used magic to illuminate the place. With the light they finally reached the end of the hallway where they came across a huge metal door.
The door looked like it was a door which was made to survive a nuclear blast. With thickness of about 1 feet at least. It was thicker than the door Chamber of Secrets for crying out loud.
“Bruce, your other Darksied version is more paranoid than you.” 616-Tony said as he laughed.
