American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

353. Inter-Universal Migration.

Moving an entire planet's population is something that ordinary magic simply can't achieve.

Although the population on Earth in the Apokolips War Universe was already severely depleted—after the Doomsday-like demon invasion, countless lives were lost. Later, when Apokolips activated the Reaper Engine, it drained the Earth's core, causing widespread ecological collapse, with life constantly slipping away. The population had plummeted to a historic low.

Now, there were barely even 300 million people left on Earth. After two years of torment, the total population couldn't even reach one-twentieth of its original number.

But in this kind of environment, it's not surprising. In a world where no one knows whether tomorrow or disaster will come first, with life and food security at constant risk, who would have the means to bear and raise children?

So, with no new births, the fact that this many people still survived was already a miracle in itself.

But even so, moving nearly 300 million people is no small feat. Regular magic struggles to teleport a single person ten meters, let alone transport so many to another universe.

To accomplish this grand task, Alex needed to harness higher-level power.

Heaven, Hell—every force he could summon was called upon, combined with the pure demonic power that Trigon had granted him in their agreement. At this moment, Alex once again felt the immense power he'd wielded when splitting timelines in the past.

But this time was different. Back then, he'd had support from Mephisto, an outer god, and two hell dimensions. Now, he was drawing solely on the forces present in these universes.

"No! You can't do this!!"

Trigon sensed his own power being drawn by a mighty force—it was a terrifying banishment spell. To make matters worse, now that he had manifested, even the very essence of the Wasteland Universe began to reject him.

He realized it was the lower dimension's instinctive reaction to an outsider. As a higher-dimensional entity, he was usually unaffected—this dimension's repulsive force was usually less than a breeze. But now, Trigon had not yet fully materialized his true form.

With Constantine and Zatanna, two sorcerers on par with the Sorcerer Supreme, chanting in unison, bolstered by Heaven's power, the universe's repulsion became the final straw.

'Come on, Trigon; you never belonged to that universe anyway. Weren't you trying to make it part of yourself? I'm helping you.'

Alex sneered, watching events in the other universe unfold clearly through the Eye of the Raven. This ability to oversee both universes simultaneously was part of why he dared to execute this dual operation.

"Damn wizard, I want to be with my daughter! Stop this immediately!"

Hearing Trigon's roar, Alex's smile only grew.

Had anyone else said that, he might have hesitated, but hearing it from a higher-dimensional demon made him feel that even pausing for a second was an insult to his intelligence.

Who was Trigon?

A higher-dimensional demon, an entity that mortals could scarcely comprehend.

How could mere humans hope to fathom the psyche of such a being?

And besides, did Trigon ever show any care for his daughter?

If anything, it was surprising he hadn't driven Raven insane. Moreover, the forbidden spell was already underway, and stopping it now was impossible. So, ignoring Trigon's words, Alex instead focused all his energy on channeling the demonic power within him.

He had only just acquired this tremendous power, and before he'd even gotten used to it, he had to release it all.

To say Alex didn't feel regret would be a lie, but he had no choice—this was part of the plan.

As he spoke the final word of the incantation, Trigon let out an ear-splitting, agonized howl before disappearing completely before Constantine and Zatanna. At the same time, in the Apokolips War Universe, a pure white light began to radiate from every person on Earth.

Gotham City Port.

After gathering most of the civilians, Batwing stood guard, never leaving his post. He didn't understand why Damian suddenly gave him such an order, but it didn't matter; as a member of the Bat family, all he needed to do was follow his superior's orders.

Besides, in this hopeless world, Batwing had long since lost any sense of purpose. At this moment, if someone was willing to give him direction, he wouldn't hesitate to accept it—he needed that.

However, Damian hadn't shared the whole plan with him. All Batwing knew was that he had to protect the people, though he was clueless about what was coming next.

It wasn't until a terrifying, jagged rift spread across the sky that Batwing truly understood the gravity of his mission.

Although he didn't know exactly what was happening, the scale of it was too daunting for him to process, and it was beyond his abilities to help.

"What is going on!?"

Suddenly, a shout brought Batwing back to his senses. He turned to see a woman in her thirties, her body emitting a soft, milky white glow that illuminated her like an angel. Then, as if contagious, more and more people began to radiate the same light.

The crowd fell into chaos and panic, and just as Batwing was about to speak, he noticed that he, too, had started to glow.

"This must be the signal Damian was talking about."

Lady Shiva's voice came through. Though she didn't know all the details, she had some knowledge of the plan. Having met with Alex and the others, Lady Shiva understood just how audacious this plan was.

"What exactly is going on?" Batwing asked, still bewildered.

Lady Shiva simply smiled.

"Don't worry, Batwing. We'll meet in another world."

In Luthor Tower, Spider-Woman Ashley and the remaining members of the Suicide Squad were still locked in fierce battle with the Doomsday-like demons. The strange phenomenon in the sky had brought only a brief ceasefire of less than three minutes before the Doomsday demons charged again.

Black Manta had already died on the battlefield, his body torn in two by the demons, with blood and organs strewn about. But there was no time to mourn. If they couldn't hold back these monsters, even more lives would be lost.

Suddenly, Lois's body began to emit the same white light, and she froze in surprise.

"Don't just stand there!" Luthor shouted as he gunned down a demon about to ambush Lois.

But soon, Luthor realized that he, along with everyone else fighting, was also radiating the same white light.

He didn't understand what was happening, but he knew now wasn't the time to relax.

"This power… it's him!" Venom's delighted voice echoed. As a symbiote, it had an incredibly sharp sense of energy.

Even though this immense power was a blend of countless energies, it could still recognize Alex's magic.

"It seems this is our ticket," Ashley said with a smile. Truthfully, as one of the main combatants, her energy was almost depleted.

"It's finally over."

Before she could finish her sentence, they all vanished into the light, leaving no trace behind.

This phenomenon was happening simultaneously in every human settlement and refugee camp worldwide.

Even people hiding deep in the mountains and forests were included in the spell's reach.
