240. Apokolips War.
Yes, it's been more than three years.
If there were any chance that other superheroes had arrived in this universe, they wouldn't have left without a trace.
You have to understand that these heroes from the DC Multiverse aren't easy to deal with. Take Red Hood, for example. They wouldn't just stand by and watch this world fall into such a state without doing anything.
Even if there were those like Black Canary, who had been hiding in a shelter after crossing over, they would have rushed to New Babylon the mont they saw Red Skull's execution declaration broadcasted across the world, hoping to rescue Red Hood.
Not for any other reason, but simply because Red Hood cos from the sa universe as them. That simple reason would be enough for them to risk everything.
But unfortunately, from the mont Alex arrived in New Babylon until now, he hadn't detected the presence of any beings from another universe. With the help of Miss Minutes, Alex could use less than 1% of the Tipad's power to perform a large-scale soul scan.
The results were disappointing. Over the past few days, many people had arrived, including so restless mbers of the Hulk Gang looking to stir up trouble, but Alex hadn't found any suspicious individuals who might be from another universe.
This forced Alex to brace himself for the worst. Now, there were only two possibilities for the DC superheroes: either they hadn't successfully crossed over into this universe and were killed by the countless Doomsday-like creatures, eting a grisly end on the spot, or they had crossed over, but before they could make a na for themselves or cause any ripples, they died here due to so unforeseen circumstances. Although they were heroes with rich experience, in the vastness of the multiverse, many have perished in obscure ways.
Either possibility was bad news for Alex, Black Canary, and the others, as it ant that the path to the destruction of both universes was accelerating. It wouldn't be long before the two universes would march hand in hand toward their demise.
"Is there any way to stop two universes from colliding?" Kara asked, her voice filled with concern as she looked at Alex.
Hearing this, Alex fell silent for a mont before speaking softly, "I'm not sure. If I have the chance to successfully record this universe, I'll be able to bring its tiline under my control. Then, I could use the primordial energy of this universe to forcibly change its course and prevent the destruction of both universes.
"Basically, think of it like two trains on the sa track heading toward each other. Without external influence, neither will change direction or slow down. To save these tilines, gaining control over one of the universes is the only way."
"I understand. So, what we need to do now is wait for the right mont to 'record' the universe, as you said," Kara nodded.
"You could put it that way. Luckily, I've been able to preserve so mories from the magical creatures I've encountered in this world, which will help speed up the recording process." Alex spoke softly.
As Kara and Alex talked, Black Canary couldn't help but interject.
"Mr. Raven, this is the first ti we've t, but it feels like you've known for a long ti. I don't know what kind of power you wield, but both Kara and Pietro speak highly of you. I have to ask, do you have a way to send back to my own world?"
Alex didn't answer directly. Instead, he responded with a question.
"You do realize there's almost no hope left for your universe, right? The Justice League no longer exists. Even if I could send you back, with both universes moving at roughly the sa speed through ti, I could only take you to your universe three years into the future. If my calculations are correct, three years from now, Earth won't be habitable for humans anymore."
"You know what's happening in our universe?!" Black Canary's eyes widened, realizing the implications of Alex's words.
"Yes, you could say that." Alex didn't deny it. In fact, there was no need to hide it.
After learning where Black Canary ca from, Alex had figured out what kind of universe she was from.
Like many universes on the brink of destruction, Black Canary ca from the DC Animated Movie Universe, specifically from 'Justice League Dark: Apokolips War'. This universe was also one that had been reset.
This universe began with Flashpoint and was destined for destruction. The Apokolips War marked the end of its tiline, with the conclusion being Flash's reset, causing this universe to vanish from existence, beyond the observation of any being.
Although this universe originated from a "dystopian" setting, its unfolding was quite peculiar.
Now, Alex understood why Apokolips War and the Wasteland Universe had crossed paths. In that mont of connection, the intelligence of the Justice League seed to have been divided among the Wasteland's villains.
In the Wasteland Universe, villains had banded together, unexpectedly defeating superheroes they could never overco alone. Apokolips War, on the other hand, was the opposite—the Justice League decided to unite and attack Darkseid's Apokolips.
The result? "None survived."
This battle could be explained as "Superman's arrogance and his lack of a strong bond with Batman, which led him to ignore Batman's warnings, along with Cyborg being compromised by the Mother Box, causing the plan to be leaked." But overall, it was a colossal failure.
"Didn't anyone tell the Justice League not to fight as a group? That's common sense," Alex said with a helpless shake of his head.
"Mr. Raven, what did you an when you said Earth is no longer habitable for humans?" Black Canary asked.
"Darkseid built a device to drain Earth's core. It has completely destroyed the planet's ecosystem. Although there are still resistance groups on Earth, unfortunately, their fight is aningless. Even if they succeed, Earth's resources can no longer support human survival."
Alex shrugged and looked directly into Black Canary's eyes as he continued, "If you stay here, I can guarantee your safety and Red Hood's. But if you go back, you'll be walking into certain death. So, knowing that, do you still want to return to your universe?"
"Of course!"
Black Canary didn't hesitate. She answered seriously.
"That is my world. Even if it's broken beyond repair, and it can't be saved, then I'll die there, if that's what it takes."
"Because… the one I love is there."
