Return

John smiled when Oliver said that because the name, Lord of Order wasn't just for show. Everybody was interested in the powers of Oliver and thus asked him many questions.

"Victor and Barry, there are not any better versions of you. You both are at the pinnacle so I won't give you any powers. Diana, one version of you, is an alien with reality bending powers like Wanda and psionic powers. Do you want it?" John asked.

"Alien? Am I an alien in another universe? That is new." Diana said.

"That's what the story is about." John said.

"And you can learn the reality bending powers from Wanda." John continued.

"I understand." Diana said. John then proceeded to spend 500 million fan value points for Diana. And again used a false magic on her. This version of her was taken from Earth 9 Wonder Woman who was genetically engineered and possessed characteristics of both alien species who were in war against each other.

As she got the new power she didn't feel any change only that now she has a long weapon on her hand which had sharp weird shaped blades on both sides.

"These are all the upgrades that are available to us now. Now we can only wait for the Ancient One to come with news." John said.

"How far are both of your armors?" John asked.

"We have made more adjustments to the armor. I am thinking of securing the whole Ring with the anti projectile shield. This is my new project for now." Tony said.

"Sure. I will secure the Ring in magical defense. The Ring too needs one like Earth." John said. John then spoke about new adjustments that Oa was going to make and new Lantern Corp. The blue colored Lanterns signifying hope. They were surprised by the emergence of new Lanterns but were happy to have another kind of intergalactic policeman.

After that everybody went back to their work and those who got new powers went to try out themselves and see how powerful they have become. John too went and started going through spells and magic. He was now actively practising magic.

Emma came back after a day and said that the two Guardians had left to search for a new planet to set up the Blue Lantern Corp. Their new lantern armors would be provided soon. She had to leave for her work after two weeks as the work of Lantern Corps never stops.

The days went by and soon it was February. The Ancient One finally returned from her trip to meet the Vishanti. She came over to John's home to give the news of the future.

"How was the trip?" John asked.

"Good and bad I guess. I actually wanted to die and let Strange take over but now everything is out of the window. I will have to make Strange the Sorcerer Supreme before I rest in peace." she said.

"That was the plan. Wasn't it?" John smiled.

"Your emergence messed up a lot of things be it good or bad." The Ancient One said.

"Whatever. What did the trio say?" he asked.

"We have 5 years before the Black Winter comes. Due to our universe acting up weirdly they have taken measures. Because of Black Winter, our universe will be cut from all of the multiverse so that Black Winter doesn't harm all of the multiverse. That is the decision of Eternity, Infinity and the Living Tribunal." The Ancient One said.

John's eyebrows raised when he heard the names. Those three are basically the overlords of the universe, if One Above All isn't taken into account. It was not surprising that they had taken that decision, Black Winter is too powerful and they needed to take measures. Since all the universes wouldn't help them it was better to just cut them off when the situation goes out of hand.

Now John was more determined to fight against Black Winter and prove the overlords wrong and show them that only Earth-616 isn't everything and all powerful. John clenched his fists and made a vow that he would become more powerful.

"I understand. We will defend this universe till the end and show them what we are really made of and maybe our Earth one day would be more powerful than their precious Earth-616 since they are so much attached to it." John said.

The Ancient One smiled at this but didn't reply. After narrating her meeting with the Vishanti she went back to Kamar-Taj for being the Sorcerer Supreme.

Before she left she and John both made a magical defense in the whole of the Ring so that inter dimensional creatures could not sneak inside the Ring. John now was relieved that their home was secured magically too. The Tower of Fate was the Sanctum of the Ring that powered the magical defense.

The Ancient One even went through the books inside Tower of Fate for a long time before leaving.
