Threat

John's face changed the moment Logan said those words. They have come a long way to get into Source Wall and take the huge risk of irritating Perpetua to come here and kill the Beyonders. And they were easily able to do that but it seemed like they had targeted the wrong person from the beginning itself.

"What are you talking about? Your poor ass body can't hold the power of Beyonders no matter what. The magic and the power required to kill an Owen via suicide across the Void and the Source Wall. You will never be able to do it." John said.

"That+ is true but if I die here or just give a hint to Dr. Strangfate that I am in huge danger then he has the power to let the avalanche come down and destroy your meticulous plans and mission." Logan was still giving a confident smile while saying this.

Wanda and others had finally reached the place where John was holding down Logan. Everyone had heard what Logan had just said and it sent a chill up their spines. They had come a long way and undertook an uncomfortable journey just to kill the Beyonders and even after that they might not win.

"What do you want to do with that, Logan? Even if you can do that, at the end we will escape the catastrophe and later we will give away our lives hunting you down and killing you and your so called bands of misfits will be running dogs who we will hunt down. And for sure we will call more superheroes from all of the multiverse. Then I will see where your so-called courage is." John said in a threatening tone. He never liked being threatened and that too by someone who had no power over him.

"Are you sure you will do that? Are you sure that the guilt of so many lives would not weigh on you?" Logan was still smiling when said that. He had a mad look on his face and it seemed like he was enjoying even after he was chained by Enkidu.

Wanda and others were still silent and didn't know what to say. Lucifer couldn't hold it anymore he started raining punches on the face of Logan. And even after a minute of punches and even kicks on his face he still had the same menacing smile on his face. The bruises caused by the assault were already healing that was visible in the naked eye.

"So what are you going to do? Kill me and risk the lives of trillions of people or let me go." Logan said. There was silence on the scene. John sat down on the floor with an exhausted face. He had taken the risk of his own life while coming here.

In fact when John decided to come here he was ready to give away his own life if it was required. Perpetua was too powerful for them and it was her home ground so they have been very cautious. But now even after all the precautions and even winning the battle they have been told that they would still loose. It was a huge blow for John and others.

"You will still trigger it even after we leave you alone. Don't you?" John asked slowly.

"Oh it seems like you are smart enough." Logan said.

"Why do you want to do this? Why? I don't think we have ever done anything bad to you and your other versions are good and honest." John was confused. In the comics they have been portrayed in rather a good way, though the problem with Dr. Strangefate was debatable but at the core they still have a good enough reputation with themselves.

"You don't need to know why we want to do this." Logan said in a rare serious tone other than giving others an evil smile.

"Now I understand why the last Beyonder gave an evil smile before he hit the sack. From the start itself the game was rigged." Barry said.

"So all that we have done is going to undo anyway?" Jean was shaking in anger when she heard about what Logan was blabbering about. She couldn't believe that a variant of her own friend could be so evil as to destroy a multiverse for his own selfish reason. Her friend would rather give away his life than commit such a heinous crime.

"Then why not kill this dung beetle and get on with it. Since he is going to pull the trigger, why should we care for his life." Lucifer said as he conjured up a big machete in his hand to hack at Logan. He wasn't reconciled that their multiverse might die and that too with a bang.

He was angry that he might lose his night club.
