300(A New Milestone). The Great Devourer Approaches.

300(A New Milestone). The Great Devourer Approaches.

Regarding the plans for the Wasteland universe, Alex had already made some mental calculations. For now, the only thing to be mindful of were those gang members and various terror groups.

These evil organizations inherited from the old days had numerous members, but most were just a rabble. They were manageable against ordinary people, but it was almost impossible for them to trouble Barton and the others.

Alex's concerns were merely about long-standing super-criminals like Doom or Conners. As long as they didn't make trouble, there wouldn't be any significant issues. However, what Alex hadn't anticipated was that the danger was not coming from Earth, but from beyond the stars.

"Peter Quill, is that the Peter Quill from the Guardians of the Galaxy?!"

Alex couldn't help but ask again. When he looked up, he found a grotesque monster had already approached him.

"I'm not in the mood to play with you right now." Coldly staring at the monstrosity made of flesh, Alex impatiently raised his hand.

Without any extra movements, the next moment, a surge of black mist erupted, transforming into a dark blue massive creature that swallowed the flesh monster whole. Then, a fierce wind kicked up. In this realm of souls, clouds of black mist surged forth from Alex's body, swirling around him and forming towering shadows.

The first to act was Sloth, a huge monster with dark blue skin and crimson eyes. Its enormous size and strength made the ground tremble with every move it made, causing the water to shake.

As the black demonic aura gradually thinned, the shadows behind Alex revealed their forms—six bizarrely shaped demons of different colors, representing the other six of the Seven Deadly Sins.

There was Greed with four arms, Lust with an extraordinarily long tongue, Wrath with wings sprouting from its back, Envy hidden in a dark green mist, Gluttony with a mouth that took up half its body, and the most powerful among them, Pride, stood beside Alex like a servant.

"Cough."

Clearing his throat softly, Alex pointed to his ear and spoke to Pride.

"I'll leave it to you. I need to take a call."

Upon hearing Alex's words, the hollow eyes of the Seven Deadly Sins suddenly showed a hint of clarity.

Without needing any commands, they lunged at the surrounding monsters. The Seven Deadly Sins charged in like wolves among sheep, easily overpowering the grotesque flesh monsters.

Although the minds of the Seven Deadly Sins had been thoroughly filtered, Alex, who controlled their powers, could still use necromancy to animate their bodies and create a physical form for them.

After all, these demons were originally born from the essence of sin, and it was only later that they developed their own physical forms.

It must be said that controlling them was much easier than manipulating the phantoms of the Justice League's seven titans. At least Alex didn't have to worry about these memories breaking free from his control. The current Seven Deadly Sins were equivalent to his avatars, retaining only the most basic thought patterns.

Turning his attention back, Alex didn't concern himself with the battle. With demons of the caliber of the Seven Deadly Sins, those fallen souls stitched together would pose no threat.

Instead, Alex called upon Ms. Minutes to establish a connection with Barton.

The connection between the two sides still relied on Alex's magical mark—the raven sigil—but for interdimensional communication, he still needed Ms. Minutes's powers to achieve it.

("Opening the signal channel. 1% power can maintain an hour of call time; please be aware, sir.")

Barton sighed and then murmured, "Alex, do you have any impression of this Church?"

After pondering for a moment, Alex sighed deeply. He had no intention of hiding anything and spoke directly.

"I've heard of something similar. If I'm not mistaken, this Church should have been established by the Great Devourer, aimed at helping Him consume planetary energy. As you said, they will judge planets, and the purpose of this judgment is to allow the Great Devourer to descend and feast."

Before Alex finished speaking, a clattering sound came from the other end of the call, along with Kate Bishop's voice as she came over to support Barton and inquire about the details. It was clear how profound an impression the Great Devourer had left on this old Avenger.

"The Great Devourer!!"

Barton's voice trembled; an entity of that level was not something a mere planet like Earth could withstand. If the Avengers were still around, if Tony, Steve, and the others were still alive, if the X-Men and the Fantastic Four's heroes were still here, they might have a fighting chance.

But there were no "ifs" anymore.

The mightiest heroes on Earth had all fallen. At this moment, Earth had no one left to resist the Great Devourer. This realization nearly shattered the flickering flame of hope that had just ignited within Barton.

For him, he had just fought a victorious battle, rescuing the entire planet from Hydra and Red Skull's tyranny. Clearly, in a little while, things would only get better, and dawn was just around the corner.

"Alex! You can't abandon us! We absolutely must not let the Great Devourer descend on Earth, or everything we've done will be in vain!"

Old Barton's voice became hoarse as he shouted, his helplessness almost materializing.

"Don't worry. I will find a way to deal with this."

Alex said solemnly, his serious tone calming Barton's anxious heart a little.

"For now, don't worry about the Great Devourer. Focus on Quill's dissociative state. He cannot accept the fact that his comrades were killed by Universal Church of Truth, so his brain's protective mechanisms have generated the illusion that they are still by his side."

"Is that so?"

"Also, Universal Church of Truth has likely set its sights on Earth and may already be here. So, I need you to spread this message, alerting all factions in the Wasteland, especially Doctor Doom. It's imperative he knows about this."

"Von Doom?" Old Barton paused for a moment.

"Exactly."

Alex's eyes narrowed slightly.

"He is one of the smartest people on Earth. He knows what to do."
