687. A Choice

Alexander spent some time with his family, playing and just having fun. But he knew this was going to be the last time he would be finding time to do it before the war starts.

He needed to get ready to deal with Zulrak now and launch a strike against him. The backbone of Zulrak was his army. That was the reason God could not defeat him easily. Because his huge army would inflict too much damage on God's side, so much so that it would be not reparable later and this would leave the heavens in disarray.

So, Alexander gathered all the powerhouses of Phixheim and decided to start the campaign to wipe out the armies of Zulrak.

"Buddha, Jesus, you two are non-combatant so I guess you two will stay here. Ragnarok, you will be taking the Dragon army and destroy as many demons as possible. If you are able to, try to put the anti-mind control bands on as many fallen angels as you can.

Dobby, you will be taking the Seraph army and will be doing the same. I am giving you all 3 days to inflict as much damage as possible because after that, we will have to start anticipating the attack of Zulrak and at that time, I want everyone to be here. Together, we will be much stronger. I will be going to bring Edward and Hermione later. Saitama will be returning too." Alexander ordered.

All nodded and got ready to go. Alexander looked at Olivia, "Keep all the children closeby. Knowing Zulrak, he'd try to get to them."

"Already on it. I know what kind of deranged person he is." She replied.

After that, Alexander sat down to meditate and look throughout the Omniverse to look for all the places where Zulrak's army was wreaking havoc or any other clue.

He closed his eyes and used his power of omniscience. He looked around the universe, he saw Saitama beating the hell out of demons, with strangely another person in armour with him as a partner.

Next, he saw Zulrak's army attacking a few worlds, he simply smote them to death. He was actually searching where Edward and Hermione were. Soon after, he found them on a strange planet. They seemed to have just arrived there. What shocked him though was that both of them were holding babies. Hermione was holding a little boy and Edward was holding a girl.

Alexander's face grew a big smile as if he had found treasure. "Haha, more grandkids. I guess I need to go there personally."

He quickly got up from his meditation. He still needed to go out and meet the justice league first as Bruce had called all of them. So, he went directly to Bruce's manor in Gotham city.

When he reached the place, all the members were already sitting in a meeting room. Talking about the world and aliens.

Alexander entered and a few of them got up.

"Nice new suite, Clark. I like the dark tone." Alexander complemented and sat down on a random seat.

"Woah, are you the god everyone has been talking about?" Shazam asked excitedly like a little child.

"You can call me whatever you want, kid," Alexander replied.

"Haha, that is exactly what a god would say. So cool." Shazam was in his own mood. He was a kid after all. It was surprising how even Bruce supports him being in the league. But maybe because Shazam had a kind heart and his power rivalled many big powerhouses, he was allowed.

Alexander then turned to Diana, "Ragnarok will be busy for the next 3 days so if you want to meet him you'll have to wait a bit longer."

Diana just nodded, obviously didn't want to talk about this in front of everyone.

Then Alexander looked at Aquaman. "Oh, you also have a Mother box, right? Keep that thing secure, Darkseid might send someone else to get it. Also, humans have one so Bruce you might want to look out for it. It's not good in the hands of normal people or any kind of government. Remember, when aliens come, they don't look at humans as Americans, British or Chinese. They just look at you as pigs to be slaughtered."

Martian Manhunter, J'onn J'onzz was also there. Alexander liked this person the most. Even after facing so much violence, so much tragedy. He was still a gentle soul. He knew about his tragic past.

J'onn was born on Mars. He also had a twin brother who was bereft of a Martian's innate ability to communicate telepathically.

As an adult, J'onn became a Manhunter (police officer) and married a Martian woman named M'yri'ah. The two established a modest home for themselves beneath the windswept Martian plains and gave birth to a daughter named K'hym.

Years passed, and J'onn's brother Ma'alefa'ak grew to despise everything about Martian culture. In an ambitious endeavour to commit full-scale genocide against his own people, he engineered a contagious virus known as H'ronmeer's Curse.

The virus reacted to telepathic energy and carried it from one Martian to the next whenever they elected to use their psionic powers. The plague responded to a Martian's innate fear of fire, causing them psychosomatic stress so intense, that their bodies and minds would literally burst into flame.

J'onn desperately tried to keep his wife and daughter from using their mental gifts, but they were unable to do so, and thus ultimately contracted the virus. K'hym, his daughter was the first to experience the symptoms, and M'yri'ah followed soon after. J'onn was anguished as he watched his family burn to death before his very eyes. The trauma of the event shattered his psyche and nearly drove him mad.

At the same time, on planet Earth, a would-be scientist named Dr Saul Erdel developed a transmitter machine based upon ancient Martian technology. Seeking to make contact with extraterrestrial life, he aimed his device towards the vicinity of Mars and activated it. The transmitter beam streaked across both space and time, striking the Martian Manhunter at a point in time several centuries before Erdel would even be born. The beam brought J'onn back to Erdel's natural time era.

Erdel brought the distraught Martian inside and attempted to nurse him back to health. The anguish of J'onn's mental state created a psychic bond between the two, and Erdel became aware of the events that took place on Mars. In an effort to heal J'onn's mind, Erdel used the mental link to fabricate a new history for the Martian.

He created a back-story inspired by the writings of famous science fiction novelists such as Ray Bradbury and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Eventually, J'onn's sanity was restored, and he was prepared to function in this strange, new world. Erdel put the idea into his head that he should become a great champion, and thus J'onn adopted the heroic guise of the Martian Manhunter.

When J'onn shapeshifted into a human-like form, Erdel was shocked and suffered a heart attack that killed him. As he was dying, Erdel asked J'onn for forgiveness for making him a prisoner of Earth.

It was later revealed to him that Mars was a dead planet when J'onn was taken, killed by a mental plague deliberately started by his brother Ma'alefa'ak.

After that, for a long time, he worked as a police officer and solved many cases, until his existence of the Martian Manhunter was accidentally revealed, after that, he started helping people in his green form.

"Child, you have suffered so much. You deserve a reward for what you did. For your good karma. Mars may have gone to ruins centuries ago according to Earth's time, but there is still a time where it is well.

I cannot send you to that era as it would change the whole timeline and most likely humans would find you all soon. So, what I can give you is your wife and daughter. Do you want them?" Alexander straightforwardly asked.

There was silence in the room as the two looked at each other. Everyone else also waited to hear his answer.
