367. The Overseers!

367. The Overseers!

A terrifying disaster capable of threatening two universes seemed to have been perfectly resolved. However, in reality, the aftermath of this major event turned out to be far more complicated than expected.

It wasn't simply a matter of countless otherworldly people randomly arriving in the Wasteland. Heroes from both worlds personally intervened; while they couldn't save everyone, they managed to secure the majority.

But what comes after?

Although people from both worlds share "Earth" as a common point, the differences between their universes have led to significant differences in worldview.

In the Marvel Universe, the public often views heroes with scrutiny and misunderstanding. This is especially evident with the mutant community.

Many people dislike interacting with superheroes; aside from a few popular heroes like Spider-Man, organizations like the Avengers generally face substantial resistance.

One well-known example is the Civil War. To control heroes, the United Nations introduced the Superhuman Registration Act, dividing heroes into two factions and sparking a series of profound consequences.

Hydra and certain supervillain organizations played a significant role in exacerbating this, but it illustrates that people weren't particularly enthusiastic about superhumans to begin with. And that was even before the Old Wars of the Wasteland.

Since the supervillains' victory, the Wasteland has become a place ruled by evildoers, where anyone claiming to be a hero is targeted. People's perspectives have shifted dramatically; even young children chant "down with the Avengers" when playing.

In contrast, the people from Apokolips Universe have a completely different view of heroes.

In the DC Universe, the appearance of superhumans has become a phenomenon. People are accustomed to the presence of superheroes.

Many idolize these heroes, similar to celebrity fandom. Some go as far as committing crimes to catch a glimpse of their hero idols.

While not everyone in the universe feels this way, it's undeniable that the people of the Apokolips Universe Earth are, to a large extent, "superhero fans."

Even though the Justice League has gone silent, the Teen Titans were wiped out, and the entire Earth has fallen, they still hold onto hope for the remaining heroes. They believe that justice will one day prevail, and that heroes will come back to save them.

Whether this perspective is good or bad is hard to say, but it's true that the Wasteland Universe could benefit from this influx of fresh perspectives.

With such contrasting views, these two civilizations are beginning to collide, and the resurrection of the Wasteland has just begun.

Outside the Timeline, in the Hall of the House of Mystery

Alex sat across from the Wonder Duo, recounting the full course of events.

Alex also shared his plan to separate out the Wasteland Universe and expressed his hope that they could help by becoming overseers of the entire Wasteland Universe.

"In summary, the Wasteland may look bleak, but, on the other hand, it might be the safest place available—no endlessly growing supervillain population, no alien threats trying to destroy the entire universe. To maintain this hard-won peace, we must control this entire timeline."

Alex took a sip of hot tea, then set his cup down slowly on the table, watching the couple for their response.

Hearing everything Alex had laid out, Mr. Fantastic became excited at the idea of overseeing an entire timeline—a concept he had never envisioned before.

He was a scientist, someone willing to sacrifice anything for discovery. So, without hesitation, he was ready to accept this grand responsibility once Alex finished speaking.

"Thank you for trusting me. Though my previous research on parallel universes and timelines is only in its early stages, I believe I am ready for this responsibility," he said.

"Hold on, Reed. Overseeing an entire timeline is a huge responsibility. If you truly want to join, it would mean giving up any semblance of a normal life, for you, your wife, and your children. I hope you consider this carefully."

Alex spread his hands and then looked toward Susan.

He understood Mr. Fantastic well; this man would never refuse such a request. But Susan was different; she was more perceptive and sensitive.

Alex simply nodded in response, smiling.

Seeing this, Mr. Fantastic wasted no time and immediately pulled Susan toward the lab as if there were priceless treasures waiting there.

For Reed Richards, who was deeply obsessed with science, the chance to study temporal theory was indeed priceless.

Watching the Wonder Duo disappear down the hall, Alex waved his hand, and the half-finished teacups on the table vanished.

"Keep an eye on them. Reed Richards is brilliant, but he's prone to causing significant trouble."

According to information from the Watchers, the Wasteland Universe was originally destined for destruction, but because Alex saved it, this universe—which shouldn't exist—must now be "hidden" to avoid affecting other worlds.

And Reed isn't exactly one to sit still; Alex genuinely feared he'd go from studying temporal gravity to racing through the timeline like a car.

[Don't worry, my lord, I'll report their actions to you regularly.]

Miss Minutes grinned. Although she always had that cheerful look, Alex could sense that she was even more excited now that he had decided to form an organization similar to the TVA.

Suddenly, something occurred to Miss Minutes, and she asked.

[By the way, my lord, while they're working, should I appear to them? Perhaps I could help answer some of their questions about time.]

"No need."

Without hesitation, Alex immediately declined.

The origin of Miss Minutes is still a mystery, and the emergence of the temporal controller is even more inexplicable. Until he understood the full story, Alex wasn't planning to reveal any of it to others.

"Reed has sufficient resources. That will be enough for him to complete his research."

[Understood. But my lord, you still haven't named our organization. Should I retain the previous name from the files—Time Variance Authority?]

"No."

Alex rubbed his chin. Since it was a new organization, they couldn't use an old name.

"Let's call it 'The Overseers.' Our main objective is to ensure the safety of the Wasteland."

As Alex finished speaking, Miss Minutes's eyes lit up with flowing data.

[Updating records]

[New files entered, saving...]

['The Overseers' organization established successfully]

[Great Lord of Time]

[Welcome to the system!]
