Chapter 19 - time skip ten years later

Ten years later.

Earth had changed. So had they.

Bruce Wayne, now 20, paced along the curved balcony of Star Tech Tower. Cloaked in a thin black coat, he wore two relic rings glowing under his fingertips—evidence of his travels and the spells he had been mastering.

Ojaga, now 22, leaned silently against the control desk, watching the numbers scroll across the holographic globe. His expression calm.

Clark, age 23, stood inside the observation bay. He looked the same… but stronger. Different. After three days inside the core of the sun, he had returned full of radiant energy—his very eyes glowing faintly even when he wasn't flying.

Their company—Star Tech—had grown into the most advanced scientific organization on the planet.

They had created innovations other companies couldn't even imagine:

A functioning gravity chamber

Interdimensional signal dampeners

Fusion-based power grids

AI health scanners

Override cloaking suits

…and still, the world was shaking.

💢 The entire tower hummed.

It wasn't a machine.

It wasn't a drill.

It was the Earth.

A pulse traveled outward like a heartbeat. Light rippled in the glass.

Then came the low noise—like thunder with no storm.

A sound that made birds fly off roofs, power stations flicker, and people freeze mid-step.

Bruce looked up.

"What was that?"

Clark narrowed his eyes. "It wasn't sound. It was vibration."

"Ground wave," Ojaga added. "And it's getting stronger."

Suddenly—Lucius Fox ran into the control hall.

"Turn on the main feed! Now!"

They rushed to the central console. Wayne parents and Kent parents followed close behind, looking concerned but silent.

Ojaga tapped the panel.

🖥️ Every television stream clicked in.

Emergency broadcast lights filled the screen.

WORLD EMERGENCY BROADCAST – ALL CHANNELS MERGED

A woman's voice—calm, but shaken—began to speak:

"Multiple observatories across the globe are reporting the same data... A gradual collapse in low-frequency vibrational integrity—across multiple levels of Earth's physical field."

"Put simply, millions of planes of space appear to be occupying the exact same coordinates…"

Reporter leaned closer.

"They're saying we're stacked?"

"Correct," said Dr. Elise Wang, who appeared on one of the connected feeds. Head of Global Dimensional Research and Star Tech's external partner.

"Best estimations say at least seven overlapping Earths have entered density alignment. They are now pressing into our dimension."

"Whether they 'merge'… or shatter… is currently unknown."

Lucius whispered, "Impossible…"

Elise said, shaking her head.

"We've been tracking this since the first phantom field spike last month.

It's not stopping. It's accelerating."

📡 A second transmission overlaid instantly:

"Global landmarks are beginning to phase in and out of resonance. Satellite data shows pattern loops matching at least 7 different vibrational frequencies."

"We can't explain the cause. We only know the phenomenon is central to Earth's gravitational core alignment."

Martha Kent held Jonathan's hand tightly.

Martha Wayne stepped closer to Thomas.

Bruce whispered, "This is real. This isn't just observation."

Clark pointed to the window.

"Look at the sky."

☁️ Everyone turned.

And saw it.

A massive bubble hovering just outside the Earth's atmosphere. It glowed faintly—blue from some angles, transparent from others. Inside were shadows... drifting.

Ojaga's grip on the railing tightened.

No one spoke for several seconds.

Then another wave of vibration shook the tower. Subtle. But deep.

The screen glitched—then cleared.

🧪 Dr. Elise appeared once more, now standing beside a rotating 3D globe.

"We have no current explanation for the visual phenomenon now referred to globally as the Multiverse Bubble."

"It floats above Earth's equator and does not orbit. It pulses irregularly, responds to no known physical force, and contains foreign visual patterns."

One of reporter asked quietly, "Do we know if these seven Earths are pushing in… or we're pushing out?"

Elise looked directly into the person and said

"We do not know."

"We have no physical contact. No point-of-origin. No idea what reacts to it, and what has already begun shifting inside us."

Ojaga remained quiet.

That fire inside his chest returned.

Like a memory crawling up from a place he couldn't explain.

But he said nothing.

No one asked him what he felt.

And for now, that was safer.

Just then, the television glitched again—

The signal shook—

And behind Elise's screen… something enormous flickered.

A shape. A curve. A shadow... with no face. No name. No motion.

Just hovering.

Watching through the bubble.

Clark stepped forward instinctively. "Did you see that?"

Bruce nodded slowly. " This is merging of World planet."

Ojaga whispered without meaning to:

"…It's beginning of choas"

And the screen went black.

Every channel.

Every speaker.

Dead air.

Only the hum of the tower remained.

And everyone in the room knew—
