285: An Offer You Can’t Refuse!
At this mont, Alex finally revealed his true purpose.
The reconstruction of the Wasteland Universe was of utmost importance. No matter what that universe had experienced before, from the mont Alex instructed the Tipad to record that tiline, he had already claid it as his territory.
Ever since arriving in this bizarre, kaleidoscopic world, Alex had been on the run. He had never really had the chance to think about what path his future should take, nor had he had ti to properly rest.
But now, things were different. During his months in the Wasteland Universe, Alex finally had enough ti to make plans for his future.
Alex was like a captain, cautiously navigating a ship through the multiverse. He had never forgotten the promise he made to Pietro. He would find a peaceful world, a perfect world, where they wouldn't have to live in constant fear of looming danger.
After traveling through so many universes, Alex also realized that the dangers and challenges he faced were growing more intense. Uncovering the truths buried in darkness was no easy task. If he were alone, it wouldn't be such a problem, but he wasn't. He had to think about his family and the people around him.
The Wasteland Universe was like an isolated island floating outside the multiverse. For Alex, this was an opportunity—a once-in-a-lifeti chance. If there was no truly safe universe in existence, then he would create one with his own power!
Now, after drifting for so long, this ship finally had a chance to find a safe harbor. Alex was willing to pay any price to secure it. Seeing the joyful expressions on Kate and Barbara's faces, Alex smiled too. However, his smile was quite different from theirs.
Looking around at the group, Alex's gaze was filled with a sense of relief and sothing indescribable.
("This plan started the mont you planted the magical seed from the alternate world in the Wasteland Universe, didn't it?")
Although MIss Minutes didn't reveal herself, she could still observe everyone's expressions.
Upon hearing this, Alex maintained his smile. "Earlier than that."
("Was it in Osborn City?!")
MIss Minutes was montarily surprised and then imdiately expressed her admiration.
If the first event linking the Wasteland Universe with this universe was anything, it had to be the creation of the phantom version of the Justice League by Alex himself. The videos that circulated from Osborn City were the first step of the entire plan.
("As expected, you're truly extraordinary, all-knowing and all-powerful. Did you already foresee the developnt of this universe back then?")
"Not really. I didn't know what the world parallel to the Wasteland Universe would look like, but does that even matter? No matter what kind of universe it is, it doesn't change my plan," Alex said, his eyes half-closed as he pondered. "Two universes marching hand in hand towards destruction—what a poetic image."
("I see. Since both universes are heading toward extinction, no matter how much damage this tiline has suffered, you can still save them and turn them into the guardians of the universe you will rule.")
MIss Minutes seed to understand the aning behind Alex's actions, but Alex only smiled slightly.
"'Save' them?" Alex shook his head. "Perhaps you could use a different word. Personally, I think this is more of a win-win transaction."
("A transaction?")
"Yes. They need a relatively peaceful world to prove their worth, to bring hope to that place, and to relieve the guilt in their hearts. As for , I need a group of people who still hold onto a strong moral compass to help transform the Wasteland's ecosystem."
Alex gently patted the Tipad in his hands, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Isn't this a win-win situation? A perfect collaboration, with a happy ending for all. I just kept a few unimportant details to myself."
"And besides, no one can refuse this deal."
("Master...")
"Hmm?" Alex tilted his head slightly.
("You're becoming more and more like a true Lord of Dinsions.")
MIss Minutes expressed her genuine admiration.
"Don't compare to a demon like phisto," Alex chuckled softly, pausing briefly.
"Fine, I'll take it as a complint."
Nearby, Kate, who had been talking with Barbara, suddenly turned her head and looked at Alex. She hadn't quite heard what Alex had said.
"What did you just say?"
"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about how to refine your plan to counterattack Apokolips. After all, Darkseid isn't just so run-of-the-mill foe. With him defending Apokolips, executing this plan won't be easy," Alex said casually, waving his hand.
"Wait a minute, if you have the ability to take us to another Earth, do we even need to attack Apokolips anymore?"
Kate suddenly thought of sothing and couldn't help but continue speaking.
"The plan to attack Apokolips was nothing more than Superman's wishful thinking. Strictly speaking, it was an overconfident attempt on our part to strike back at Darkseid. No one ever believed this plan would succeed; it was our last desperate charge because we had no other way out."
"But now, we do have a way out, don't we?" Kate turned to Barbara. "We don't need to march to our deaths anymore. Darkseid is an enemy we can't possibly defeat."
Her words were like a wake-up call.
Kate's remark left Black Canary, Jason, and the others in silent contemplation.
Indeed, the plan to counterattack Apokolips was born out of the fact that Earth was no longer a place they could survive on. Darkseid's exploitation of the planet had pushed it to the brink of destruction. If they didn't act, Earth would be finished.
But with Alex's help, they could abandon this planet, which was no longer anything like the one they rembered. They could build a new Justice League on another Earth and start over.
"No, it's not like that."
Suddenly, Jason spoke up.
He stood, his tall and muscular figure exuding an overwhelming sense of power. "Batman is still on Apokolips, along with the rest of the Justice League. We can leave, but we need to rescue them first and take them with us!"
As expected, when it ca down to it, Jason couldn't bear to leave Batman behind.
Ironically, when Jason died, Batman had already lined up the next Robin before Jason's body had even turned cold.
While Alex was montarily lost in thought, Jason turned to look at him, seemingly seeking his opinion.
After all, whether or not they could go to the Wasteland Universe ultimately depended on Alex's decision. At this point, everything revolved around Alex. Without his approval, no plan could move forward.
Sensing Jason's gaze, Alex quickly beca serious and gave a slight nod.
"I agree. We can't leave those heroes behind to suffer."
With that, Jason imdiately felt like he had found a kindred spirit. But just as he was about to say sothing more, Kara, who had remained silent until now, suddenly stood up. She turned her head and gazed into the distance, squinting slightly in surprise.
"Sothing... soone is approaching Gotham from high up in the sky."
