The infinity stones

"But this has created an imbalance in this universe." the Living tribunal said.

"Imbalance? You dare speak of imbalance. You all isolated our universe. You chose to leave a whole universe with nothing. Don't you dare say those words." John said it out loud. His words echoed everywhere. His words were heard by all of the higher beings.

"We have no other choice. We need to think of the multiverse." the Living Tribunal said.

"You are right. You thought of the multiverse. So here I am. Thinking of my universe and did what they deserved. None of you can say that they didn't deserve it. They had become way too arrogant. I know that this universe's actions matters to the multiverse but I don't give a f**k. They will remain depowered until I deem them worthy." John said. The Living Tribunal sighed.

Since John himself was a representative of Phoenix Force they couldn't undo his actions. He was the same level as them and even more so now. This new form of John surprised all. None of them had seen such a weird powerful being ever before.

"What are you both talking about?" Galactus said.

"None of your business. So are you going to help us?" John asked instead.

"Yes. But I can't do it alone and I will need help." Galactus said.

"It is my universe so of course I will help you. Do you need anything for this?" John asked.

"I need the 5 planets that hold down the universe or a power equivalent to it." Galactus said.

"How about infinity stones?" John asked.

"That will do." Galactus said.

"Good. I will be leaving then. Have stayed enough in this universe. You can stay here. I am taking Norrin to my universe. And yes after Black Winter, he will be freed. And that is non-negotiable." John said. Galactus hesitated for a moment before finally nodding to it.

"Then it's settled." John said as he changed back to his normal form. Truth to be told, he was scared. Confronting such beings, such Gods, he was not sure if his Celestialsapien inheritance would be able to stop them. But thankfully he was the host of Phoenix Force.

A host who the Phoenix Force chose when it was in egg form. It meant that his words now represented that of the Phoenix Force. Thus combining both of them had given him a platform to speak at the same level of the Gods of this multiverse.

Both the Living Tribunal and Galactus now looked at the normal version of John. They really were in awe of such changes of John. They understood that all this version was powered by that watch of his. But they had never seen such a weird technology ever before. But they didn't ask as it was not right to ask someone of their secrets.

"Bye." John said as he vanished from the universe. The universe of Earth 616. With Norrin. He had spent months here and now it was time to go back. He needed to see his own homeland again.

John and Norrin thus both vanished with his magic.

"Who is he?" Galactus asked.

"John Jameson. An earthling from Earth - 1999999. We never noticed him, until Black Winter's news came. I have got to say you have hidden this from us for such a long time Galactus." the Living Tribunal said. The revelation of Black Winter was surprising to all.

"It's up to me who I say and not say about my matters." Galactus said. By that time a huge spaceship appeared. A spaceship the size of at least Earth's sun. This spaceship belonged to Galactus.

Named Taa-II, after his home planet. Galactus didn't even say his bye and just boarded his spaceship and left.

"Still grumpy as ever." the Living Tribunal mumbled as he too vanished. the Living Tribunal looked more easy going as he was in the comics. this was probably because he dealt with beings who were almost at the same level as him.

John on the other hand was back at his universe. Near his own home. The House of Mysteries. With Norrin and his board. Norrin didn't say a single thing in all of this. It was not his place to speak out. Even though he had questions he didn't ask yet.

As John appeared again, both Strange and Thor felt it. Without any hesitance they both appeared near John. They were curious about what had happened in the other universe.

As they came, they both saw a new person with John. A silver looking humanoid o a surfboard. Both could feel there was immense power inside him. And when they both looked at John they too felt a power that John had never shown before.

"I guess you have questions." John said. Both of them nodded.

"Summon all of them to the house of Justice. We have things to say." John said.
