"So this is what Black Winter looks like?" Tony murmured. All they could see was a huge black void covering the entirety of the image from all sides. The surrounding of the images turned black as small flakes of black snow fell all around. Even in empty space.
The Black Winter emerged out of nowhere and before the Green Lantern could escape the black snow touched the body of the Green lantern. And he just vaporised into nothingness. Even the green ring itself got vaporised.
Those images were the last images that the ring was able to send out before dying itself. John who saw this had a grave look on his face. Then he wore the helmet and said
"Norrin, come back to Earth. Call Galactus. Black Winter is here."
And these images were sent to all. Even the Teen Titans. They needed all the guns possible. Not all were in the Hall when they were discussing the new device, but after the images were sent, all the members of the Avengers and Teen Titans came to the Hall.
After about 10 minutes Norrin arrived in his iconic silver surfer.
"Did you call him?" John asked. That was the only thing he cared about now.
"Yes. he is on his way." Norrin nodded. All had a grave face when they all entered the Hall.
"We will move out once Galactus arrives." Wayne said.
"Are all the stones ready?" Clark asked.
"Yes." Victor said as he brought out all the infinity stones which were preserved in separate boxes. As they were talking Thor too arrived with his iconic Stormbreaker and Mjolnir.
"Ready to face an enemy who you are supposed to defeat?" John asked.
"In the name of my father and my forefathers, I will bring him down. No, we will bring him down together." Thor said in a loud voice.
And then they heard a loud sound coming from outside. The sound was as if huge glass was broken. John, who was in a helmet, knew that the breaking of glass meant that Galactus was here.
"Let's go and see him." John said as they went out to see the big guy who just appeared from Earth 616.
As all went out to meet the big guy, all of them were taken aback. Though Norrin had said that Galactus was huge. They never expected him to be this huge. Arishem looked like a toy in front of him.
"No wonder John said he eats worlds. His body size would need worlds to sustain him." Banner said. They all wore their suits and flew high up to meet face to face.
Galactus on the other hand was surprised to see such a huge lineup of the Avengers and new faces. faces that were totally different from Earth 616. And some of the people in the Avengers were really powerful.
All stood side by side as they faced Galactus.
"I am here to keep my promise. Now it's your turn." Galactus said. His voice echoed everywhere like it did with Arishem.
"The infinity stones will be given to you but on the basis that you will never use them for personal gains and hunger. And Norrin will be released after this ends."
"The promise will be kept only when we can defeat Black Winter." Galactus said.
"Have faith. We will defeat him." John said as he nodded to Victor. Victor opened the 6 boxes which he had been carrying with him. The infinity stones floated outside and went straight to the huge hands of Galactus.
The stones looked like small grains of sand in front of him. But surprisingly Galactus didn't eat the stones but rather kept it away.
"We should leave." Galactus said as he turned his head to look at the distant Oa. He could feel another huge cosmic power escaping out of Oa. Just the cosmic power released by Oa tempted him.
John who noticed this change of Galactus creased his eyebrows.
"Galactus, that planet is sacred to us. Touch one planet in this universe and I assure you we will hunt you down till the end of the multiverse." John said in a very grave tone.
"Don't threaten me boy. I don't like being threatened." Galactus said, seemingly irritated by the warning of John. John didn't speak and just transformed himself to Alien X.
"And I too don't like being told what to do and what not to." John said in the voice of three people. But before they could argue more, they all saw green lights emerging from far distant.
The Avengers didn't understand what these were but when the multiple green lights came closer, they understood what it was. These were the thousands of green lanterns.
Since Black Winter threatened the whole of their universe, the Guardians had sent all of them to fight with the Avengers. John smiled when he saw this.
"Seems like the whole band is here." Steve said.
"We need every bit of help to fight him." Wayne said.
