Chapter 438 Searching for Magneto
Upon seeing that enormous Earth suspended in the sky, Connors' first thought was of the "Secret Wars 2015" comic book.
After all, this scene is just too iconic.
"Superman, Shazam, and Captain Marvel have already set off to push the Earth above them to the other side of its orbit. Connors, you need to come to Rhodes Island right away."
Batman's voice came from Kusama.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After Connors finished speaking, he released the Mysterious House, enveloping himself, Sheryl, Cindy, Jennifer, and Natasha within it.
Giving up halfway would be harmful to both body and mind, but with the mysterious house ignoring the flow of time, Connors had no worries about not having enough time to get to Rhodes Island.
Soon, the once quiet and mysterious house welcomed four new guests, their seductive cries and heavy breathing filling the air.
After spending a full twelve hours in the Mystery House, Connors lit a cigarette, put on his black smoke cloak, and left the four female superheroes, who had lost all their strength, to rest and recuperate in the Mystery House.
After being merged with Connors, the Earth remained the same size as before. One second he was in the Mysterious House, and the next he was in Happy Harbor on Rhodes Island, in the Superhero Hall, which was transformed from the Justice League Watchtower.
At this moment, a holographic image is displayed in the center of the hall, showing Iron Man, the two Batmen, Dr. Banner, and other of the world's smartest people gathered here.
"The existence of the multiverse has long been proven; they are distributed in every corner like water droplets on a flat lotus leaf."
The holographic image shows water droplets scattered on a plane, each representing the existence of a multiverse.
Batman, seated in the Möbius Chair, said, "Doctor Strange's use of the Time Stone to travel through timelines has caused this lily to undulate, and these multiverses are beginning to attract and converge with each other."
As Batman spoke, he tapped his finger in the air a few times, and the smooth lotus leaf began to become pitted and uneven, causing the water droplets of all sizes to roll towards the low-lying areas.
"And Connors' move to merge multiple Earths made this place the center of the multiverse."
The uneven lotus leaf changed again; several water droplets merged together, causing that part of the lotus leaf to sink in, becoming a huge funnel shape.
Water droplets from all directions immediately left their respective positions and flowed toward the bottom of the funnel.
The fastest droplet had already flowed to the bottom of the funnel, just one step away from the large droplet that had merged into one.
Let alone Connors, even a random passerby on the street would know that the water droplet symbolizes another Earth hanging overhead.
Connors was greatly surprised; he never expected that he was partly to be responsible for this.
"We've now considered a few solutions, one of which is to destroy all other multiverses—note, universes, not just Earth."
Iron Man manipulated the hologram, clearing away everything except the single droplet at the very bottom of the funnel: "This simply and directly solves the problem of multiverse collisions."
"But our hands will be stained with the blood of hundreds of billions of lives, which is not what we want to see," Dr. Bruce Banner said.
“No need for such high-sounding rhetoric, Banner,” Iron Man said. “The reason we don’t do it that way is that it would make this place a common enemy of all the multiverses and would inevitably trigger a war far larger than the Darkseid War.”
"What about other methods?" Connors asked.
He watched these superheroes with great interest. Their intelligence hadn't dropped; they didn't use the Infinity Stones to push Earth away like in the comics, and afterwards, they tried to use an antimatter bomb to resolve the collision crisis.
"Actively contact other multiverses and gather all the top talents to discuss solutions together," Dr. Banner said.
"Or, as you did before, you could step in and merge all the multiverses into one, instead of letting them collide," said the Lord Bat.
Connors quickly rejected Lord Bat's idea: "No, I can't do it."
Even if he could do it, he wouldn't. Connors prefers to be a bystander rather than a worker.
"The last method is relatively simple. We just need to separate the several Earths that have been merged into one and make the lotus leaf flat again."
At that moment, Superman, the God of Apokolips, returned, and he said.
Batman glanced at him: "Has that Earth been pushed into a safe orbit?"
"Yes, and we went up there and found that it was a planet without any intelligent life," Superman said.
"Back to the question itself, who here has the ability to separate the Earth that has become one again? Can Connors do it?" Lord Bat tapped the table to attract everyone's attention.
"I can't do it."
Connors was telling the truth this time, referring to Earth-3, Earth-Zero, the Zombie Universe, Gwen's World, Earth of the Avengers and Mutants, the Ghost Rider World, and the Future World—
Integrating all of these elements required almost every trick in the book Connors used to achieve this.
The thought of separating the Earth, which had already become one, gave Connors a headache.
So he looked at the God of Apokolips, who had just returned: "Why don't you go and live in the sun for a while?"
Superman was taken aback: "What would I do in the sun?"
"He wants you to absorb the sun's energy to increase your power, and then separate the Earth," Batman said.
"This method might be good; it can serve as a backup plan for us," Iron Man said. "Actually, our initial suggestion regarding the idea of separating Earth was for you to lead the Celestials in doing it."
After their victory in the Darkseid War, the Celestials left Earth, and no one knows where they went.
"We also plan to build a machine to observe Earths in other multiverses, to see how they resolve Earth-collision crises, and to prevent those aggressive Earths from launching attacks," said Lord Bat.
"Actually, I have an idea. Maybe one of us can split the Earth—if one can't, then two, three, or even a hundred of them can."
Iron Man glanced at the two Batmen and said.
"Who?"
All the superheroes in the hall focused their attention on Iron Man, while the two Batmen looked as if they already knew what was going on.
Iron Man turned his gaze to Connors: "Do you remember Magneto? He's in jail right now."
Connors nodded. He was the one who orchestrated Magneto's imprisonment, so he certainly wouldn't forget it.
"Hundreds of Magnetos—maybe it really works." Connors nodded, thinking that Iron Man's suggestion might actually work.
But the question is, who would travel to the multiverse to find so many Magnetos? It can't all be him alone, can it?
Only now did these most intelligent beings on Earth reveal their final plan and compile a list: "Connors, the Overwatch Master; Superman, the God of Apokolips; Batman, the God of Knowledge; Doctor Strange, the Supreme Doctor; Ghost Rider; Wanda; Zatanna; Lady Warrior; Raven—"
"In addition to the necessary forces remaining behind, we have assigned a superhero to each multiverse to search for Magneto."
Lord Bat looked at Connors: "How was it? Just like before the Darkseid War, you can get things done while watching the show in the multiverse, and everyone else can do it just as easily."
"With the combat strength of your group, there is almost no need to worry about encountering any danger."
"As for whether there will be any problems with this group of Magnetos coming together—our superheroes on Earth will take precautions in advance."
