American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

Moving past the previous topic, although everyone's emotions were still somewhat affected, overall, there was not much change.

The meaning of life itself is a philosophical question that is hard to define, and they all still had important tasks to attend to, with no time to waste thinking about their own existence.

"Let's hear it, you bloodthirsty beast. What's your purpose for coming here? I don't believe that all you gods traveled all this way just to say hello."

Dean walked up to Mercury, his face serious as he inquired.

"Besides, your entrance just now didn't seem like you came to say hello."

Everyone remembered how mercilessly Mercury had charged in earlier. That was with Alex and the others around; if they hadn't been there, the Harvelle's Roadhouse would likely have been slaughtered once again, and no one would have walked out alive.

"I..."

Mercury nervously shrank his neck.

Originally, the gods had planned to work together to solve the apocalypse problem, but now, he was the one on the chopping block. For a moment, Mercury wasn't sure how to start.

"Listen, buddy, if I were you, I'd just spill everything. You've seen it—we have plenty of experts in interrogation here, prying the truth from you won't be hard," Dean threatened, pulling out his short sword.

If it were just an ordinary short sword, Mercury wouldn't have cared much, but sensing the icy cold aura coming from the Valkyrie sword in Dean's hand, Mercury shuddered.

"I-I have nothing to do with it, really, I'm just a messenger. I'm responsible for delivering information and gathering the gods together. This has nothing to do with me!"

"Then tell me, what's the purpose of gathering all the gods?" Dean asked again.

Mercury bit his lip, really reluctant to speak. If he revealed this information, even if these guys let him go, the gods outside would never forgive him.

But seeing the glint of the blade in Dean's hand, Mercury knew that if he didn't explain things clearly, he probably wouldn't walk out of this tavern tonight.

After struggling internally for a long while, Mercury finally gave in. He closed his eyes and said,

"Of course, it's for you two—the Archangels Michael and Lucifer's vessels. The apocalypse is just the beginning. The holy war is about to break out, and the entire Earth will become a battlefield between Heaven and Hell. At that point, no one will be able to remain neutral, and we are no exception."

This answer surprised Dean somewhat. He didn't expect gods that fed on humans to fight for the safety of humanity, but upon further reflection, it made sense.

Angels and demons consume human souls, while the gods feast on human flesh. Neither group was truly good, and their opposing goals made sense.

After all, angels are the 'sons' of the Creator, while these gods were mere flawed creations.

"And then what?" Dean looked back at his brother Sam, then turned back to Mercury to ask, "You've found us, so what will you do now? Kill us?"

"Kill you? Of course not. Wouldn't it be pointless to kill you and then let angels or demons resurrect you? What we need is to prevent the war from coming. As for what to do with you..."

Mercury helplessly shook his head and said awkwardly,

"That's something the higher gods will think about, and it's also the reason for this gathering of the gods. As I said, I'm just the messenger."

Seeing that Mercury had revealed everything he knew, Dean sighed and decided not to press further.

At this moment, Alex raised his arm and waved his hand. Recognizing the signal, several young members of the Bat Family immediately stood up and walked over to Mercury's side.

"You'll let me go, right?"

Mercury smiled bitterly, looking at Damian with hopeful eyes.

But the response came from Damian's cold expression and his equally cold words.

"Stop talking, just come with me."

"It looks like these guys won't be daring to come near here again," Jo said with a smile, watching as Mercury was escorted to the tavern's basement by Dick and Damian.

"Yeah, I believe the Harvelle's Roadhouse will become a forbidden ground for the gods from now on," Sam whispered, also sighing.

Although no one knew exactly how many gods had been outside just now, the Harvelle's Roadhouse had truly 'made a name for itself' this time. It wasn't just in the hunter community anymore—this place was now extremely dangerous, even in the world of the gods.

After all, not every hunter had a group of superheroes backing them.

And not just any superheroes, but those who could destroy the world with their power. Even gods like Odin or Zeus, the major gods, would have to steer clear of these people.

"So what should we do now?"

Jason calmly asked, playing with the glass in his hand.

"The Zombie Universe still needs us to deal with it, and now this Apocalypse trouble has emerged. Although I'm not fond of the twisted faith in this universe, that guy was right earlier. Even these monsters know that unity is necessary to prevent war, so we can't just let it go."

"That makes sense, but this won't be as easy as we think."

Bruce Wayne glanced at Jason and said solemnly,

"If this world is progressing according to some entity's design, our arrival will definitely cause dissatisfaction. Until we figure out the strength of the other side, I suggest we proceed cautiously."

"In fact, I've already broken the original course of events, back when I was here last time. But what I don't understand is why that guy didn't come out to meet me," Alex spoke up. He had no intention of hiding anything and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Even now, I thought that with all of you arriving here, maybe we'd force that guy to show up, but that's not what happened. If my senses are correct, that guy is no longer in this universe."

"Then it's even harder to kill him," Reed Richards sighed as he fiddled with a mechanical device. "According to the data feedback, there are tens of thousands of parallel universes nearby. We can't possibly cross all those universes to hunt him down."

"Exactly, we don't have the energy to waste on that."

"Besides, these universes were created by that guy. If he really wants to hide, we can't find him unless we destroy all these parallel universes, forcing him out."

"But we can't do that, can we?"

"Wait, wait, hold on."

Hearing the heated discussion, Dean couldn't hold back anymore.

Listening to the group talk like they were playing hide and seek, his mind was completely in a whirl. Looking at the serious heroes, Dean spoke in a low voice,"The guy you're talking about, it couldn't be..."

"It's him, Dean. It's the one you're thinking of," Clark answered truthfully.

"Oh, God."

This time, Dean slapped his forehead and was completely lost for words.

Although he had witnessed the heroes mercilessly beating Horsemen of War before, and he knew the people in front of him were no pushovers, hearing them discuss how to kill God still left him dazed.

Having no regard for the stunned expressions of Dean, Sam, and the others, Clark turned to the rest of the group and quietly asked,

"Does anyone know what happens next? I seem to have forgotten."

Bruce Wayne didn't respond, just shaking his head silently.

He had been busy before, handling various Wayne Enterprises tasks during the day and going out to fight crime at night. He didn't have the time to focus on TV shows or anime.

Of course, that was his mindset before.

After this incident, Bruce Wayne had made watching various films and animated series a mandatory part of his curriculum, and he was even thinking about setting these as part of the Bat Family's year-end exam.

"If I remember correctly, the Creator God appeared as the prophet Chuck, right?" Barbara suddenly spoke up, as she had some knowledge of this.

"Chuck!?"

Dean and Sam were already in shock for the umpteenth time.

After so many shocks, they should have gotten used to it by now.

But hearing that the prophet they had encountered earlier was actually God himself, they couldn't help but stand up in disbelief.

"Chuck? That Chuck? The one who wrote that?"

"Uh-huh."

Alex shrugged, acknowledging the information Barbara had just provided.

"You really think he was predicting your future when he wrote that? Of course, it wasn't that simple. The plot he wrote is the path you're meant to follow, the development that was predetermined for you."

"However..."

Alex's tone changed as he continued,"Now that guy is no longer in this universe. I guess he left for some reason and didn't want to interact with us. So, there's no need for us to keep playing the roles from the story."

"So, what do you mean?"

Everyone turned their attention to Alex, waiting for him to give the final command.

After thinking for a moment, Alex stood up, raised his cup, and spoke softly,

"After all, the Apocalypse is just a war between two archangels. Since they want a war, we'll give them one. But this time, we're going to settle this problem once and for all."

Of course, Alex didn't mention one more thing.

Absorbing Lucifer and Michael's divine power might bring him even greater strength.
