Light.It wasn't sunlight exactly — it was softer, older, the light of creation itself. When Superman opened his eyes, the first thing he saw wasn't destruction. It was sky. Blue, endless, unmarred. Birds circled over a horizon untouched by war. For the first time in what felt like centuries, there was peace.
He sat up slowly. His cape, once shredded, now rested whole upon his shoulders. His emblem glowed faintly. Around him, others began to stir — Wonder Woman, Thor, Captain America, Batman, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, and dozens more.All alive. All reborn.
Thor let out a low whistle. "The air tastes different."Tony's eyes scanned his HUD. "Different? Try impossible. Quantum layers don't match any known frequency. It's like reality's been rewritten."Batman knelt, pressing his palm to the soil. "It has."
They were standing in a city neither recognized — towers of Stark design fused with Kryptonian architecture, ancient Amazon stone woven through Wakandan vibranium. Across the skyline fluttered a new symbol: a circle split in half — one side bearing the lightning of DC, the other the arc reactor of Marvel.
A new world — Earth Omega.
From the mist stepped The Spectre and Doctor Fate, spectral forms flickering between presence and memory."The Tribunal's act was not destruction," Fate spoke, voice echoing like a hymn. "It was rebirth. A convergence. The two realities now coexist as one."
Superman looked around, awe softening his strength. "All those lives… restored?"Fate's gaze turned distant. "Most. But balance always requires a void."
The silence that followed was heavy.Strange's absence was felt in every heartbeat. His sacrifice had sealed the universes, and though his name might fade from memory, his mark would never vanish.
Captain America placed his shield into the soil. "Then we build. Together. For everyone who can't."Thor raised his hammer to the sky. "For Midgard reborn."Wonder Woman unsheathed her sword, the sunlight gleaming across it. "And for peace hard-won."
Above them, the sun rose — but in its light shimmered two shadows, standing side by side.Doctor Strange and The Ancient One, their spirits woven into the new dawn.
As the heroes gathered on a mountaintop overlooking the rebuilt Earth, Batman spoke last, voice low but firm:
"The world doesn't need gods or kings. It needs guardians."
Superman smiled faintly. "Then we'll be both."
And so began the age of Omega Earth, where heroes from two legacies walked one path — not divided by universe, but united by purpose.
