When John had searched Earth 001 he never put too much attention to it. He only cared about Solus and his children. But now that he was here, he could feel why this Earth 001 was the nexus of the 'web of life and destiny'.

This web allowed the multiverse to be connected thus allowing normal people having enough knowledge and power to travel through one universe to another. But of course there were exceptions like John and other higher beings who don't need it.

"I expected more from the travel. It's like normal teleportation. No feeling whatsoever." Tony complained.

"Umm are we really on Earth 001? We just normally teleported like John here does." Andrew said as he was sceptical that it was Earth 001 as they had just arrived at a random flourishing forest.

"It is Earth 001." Karn replied as he could feel that he was back on his home planet. The location of his home.

"You must have another kind of hatred for your family to show no feelings as we are actively hunting your whole family down." Wayne said.

"I decided to go against them the moment the twins showed up. I did nothing but try to prove myself to the family for centuries and now I am just burnt out. I will help you in bringing the family down but on the condition that I am allowed to live. I need life force to maintain my life." Karn laid out his conditions. John raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

He wasn't surprised by this statement as Karn did turn against their family at the end. He was surprised that he changed the camp so fast.

"You don't have the power to..." Tony, who was going to refuse Karn's demands, was stopped by John.

"We will go over this deal once we are done with the family. That is the only thing I can assure you now. I can't promise you anything. We will have to see how everything turns out." John said as he really needed to see how the story went. Karn had another role to fulfill.

"John why are we negotiating with terrorists?" Clark asked if he was confused like all others.

"There is a reason. For now focus on the job at hand. Karn wouldn't be able to run away from us anyway." John assured others that he was doing the right thing.

"If he moves a muscle out of his position, I will blast him myself and that is non-negotiable." Tony said as he refused to let Karn go. He was responsible for murders and even the murder of the King of Wakanda. John accepted the arrangement.

That was unforgivable on many counts.

"Karn, open the dimension." John ordered. Karn nodded his head as he really didn't have the power to negotiate, he just needed to find a safe passage in all of this and it didn't cost him to try any means necessary.

Karn took out his watch and clicked a code on it. And as he did, the scenery around changed as now the surrounding forest was replaced by a huge metallic door.

"So we were in the right place from the beginning. I could not see anything." Clark said. Though John felt that something was here, he didn't want to brute force and go in.

It might prompt the enemy to just escape and he didn't want that.

"Let's go in." Wayne said as he pushed the door. The huge door slowly opened. What welcomed them was a huge palace-like structure inside. It was a huge hall with massive pillars supporting the high ceilings. Everything around looked pristine and antique. Like this palace was made for royalty of the Victorian age.

"I thought I lived in royalty but this is just extravagance." Tony mumbled. Everything was perfect about the hall except for the presence of one thing that was quite unsettling for the Avengers and especially for Spider-man.

There were heads of various Spider-Man being mounted on a wall. A normal looking mask wearing Spider-Man, a bull headed Spider-Man, a wolf shaped Spider-Man and various others. All had their masks worn on them and all could tell that these heads were the actual deal.

"I will kill them with my own hands." Tony said as this view disgusted them and all others. They were already sick to the stomach thinking that the people here eat humans but they had clearly crossed the line of morality.

As all clenched their fist in anger and gritted their teeth all the Avengers heard the sound

"Oh my baby brother has come back with food for the family. This is so nice of you."

The voice came from the upper level balcony. All turned their heads to see who it was. The man who spoke looked like twice the size of normal human beings. Even Superman looked average in front of the size of this new guy.
