"What is the void? What is the Wall?" Shang-Chi and the rest were confused, but only Xu had a grave face when John explained to him. Only Xu was the one who was always updated with the secrets of the Avengers and their recent move to train a huge army.
The army on any other day would be easily able to conquer this universe and take over any empire. The Hala Empire, the Nova Empire won't even last a few months if the Avengers decide to attack them. But he knew that their realities were at stake at the moment. Though he did not attend all the meetings that Avengers had convened, he had a general idea of the problem that they were facing.
Hearing about the Wall sacred him a bit to be honest. Mostly because of his family. He wants to save his family from the upcoming war. And it seems like unknowingly they have stepped on the battlefield.
"Is this our first contact in this multiverse?" Xu asked, ignoring the question of Shang Chi and Goku's anger. He hadn't informed them of the inner workings of the world and this would need time. Though they had watched the series when it was released, the children didn't think much of it, other than the fact the story was great.
Later he would need to explain to them what was going on in the world.
"I don't know. We can't be sure if they belong to the Wall. We will have to take the body to the laboratory, killing them would just make the bodies vanish. These two soul eaters can actually speak. I am sure the science department would love to uncover secrets from the void and hopefully from the Wall itself."
When the soul eaters talked about the Wall, they started flopping around with more power and started screaming and Strange had to use more transparent mirror dimension fragments to hold them down on the ground.
"So from the reaction I guess they are from the Wall." Strange commented after performing his magic. They were sure that the soul eaters had heard John mention about the Wall twice now and they got agitated.
"You can take them away and I hope these creatures will serve its purpose for the war." Xu answered without having a second thought. He had been in countless war in his life and he knew what intelligence was and its importance so he didn't let his emotions cloud his judgement at the moment.
"Dad, What are you talking about? I don't want the Avengers to take them away and I want them to die." Shang-Chi was not ready to compromise. His eyes were red at the moment and all he needed was revenge against the beings that hurt his family.
"Shang, calm down, I will explain everything to you once we get home. For now let the Avengers take away these two. We have a long war on the horizon and it is time you know the invasion that we might be facing soon. Goku, you too." Xu said as he started walking towards the dead bodies.
They needed to give proper respect to the people who died as they had been dead for quite some time. His wife was still in tears. His daughter too was not ready to accept the death of her loved ones and she just went and sat near the dead body of Shenron.
John sighed seeing this. This was the first major loss they had suffered. Since the Wall had broken, one of the 3 John, Strange or Thor would always have their omniscience on so that they could peek into the working of the 10 realms and the universe and make sure there was no breach of any sort.
But they didn't expect the breach in the attached dimension. The dimensions had always been special and their powers never worked on them. Finding a specific thing was fine but having knowledge about them at all times was impossible. Strange was the first to be alarmed about the breach as the magical defense of the Earth was shaken when one of the soul eaters accidentally poked on the barrier.
He didn't think much at first as there were always signs of poking on the barrier from time to time from the beings of different dimensions. It was when Goku turned super saiyan that he realized that something was wrong as the poking of the barrier happened to be near the place where he felt the power of Goku.
By the time he arrived Goku had already started the massacre and John was alarmed due to his system saying that Goku had turned super saiyan by himself.
John went forward and gave a big hug to his summon. Bringing him here, it was never his intention to make life hard for his summon. He wanted everyone to have their own life but it seemed like this wasn't possible anymore.
Not everyone would have a happy ending.
