Edward and his team soon arrived at their destiny with no issue, or so they thought. As soon as they entered the new world, everything spun even worse than the first time.

“What’s going on?” asked Edward.

“I don’t know,” replied Morgana before running more diagnostics. The process lasted longer than expected, and it wasn't until everything stopped spinning that Edward received an answer.

“Well, what was it?”

“This universe seemed to be shaking and moving.”

“Moving? How is that possible?” He knew his destination, and this place should be very safe— especially for someone of his power level.

“Did the universe suddenly acquire consciousness and become a living creature?” he asked after thinking about their previous experience.

“It appears it’s not the case.”

Edward grunted. Small accidents kept occurring, and he did not like this. “Alright. How are our systems?”

“It appeared some of them were destroyed or malfunctioning.”N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l-B1n.

“Are you serious?” Even the previous chaos in the Void did not damage any of the city’s systems, so how could entry into a universe do such damage?

“What’s going on?” Edward asked before receiving an answer, Morgana continued, “Boss, we are surrounded.”

A screen materialized before Edward and his pupils shrank, “Are those — Amazonians?” Many women dressed in armor, holding cold weapons, and some on horses surrounded the city. His gaze focused on one woman with long black hair; she was beautiful, regal, and full of power and charm.

“Wonder Woman?” He was sure it was her as his memory of a particular animated movie popped into his mind. Before his reincarnation, Marvel dominated the box office while DC was supreme in the animated movie department. They had a new rebooted Justice League animated movie, and this Wonder Woman resembled that version.

“Can someone tell me what is going on?”

His destination was the Flash TV Universe, which was only the CW universe. His purpose was to study the Speed Force, another manifestation of time. As such, Wonder Woman should not exist in that universe.

“I don’t know either,” replied Morgana, and Edward exhaled deeply. He closed his eyes to contact the Akashic Record. Soon, he saw a customer service response from a small blue-winged elf AI similar to his.

“Sir, Edward, how can I help you?”

“You people sold me the wrong coordinate.”

“That’s not possible. We would never make such an error.”

“Then explained the situation to me,” he replied, showing her the screen Morgana was displaying. The little elf frowned before saying, “Wait a moment before I open up your file.”

After a few seconds, she had an apologetic look.

“So, you did make a mistake.”

“Technically, yes and no.”

“Is this all, or is there something else?”

“That’s all.”

“Thank you.”

Edward opened his eyes to a flurry of questions: “Well, what did they say? Do you have a better understanding of the situation? And what’s our next step?”

Edward grunted before explaining the situation to her.

“So, this world is indeed moving and expanding. Our sudden entrance must have disrupted the process and created a tide of chaotic energy that swooped us.”

Now, they finally understood the situation. “What’s next?”

“You fix the damage to our systems, and I will deal with the people outside.”

“Are you sure? These people hate men and should not be too friendly.”

“I know, but if the situation is not dealt with swiftly, they could alert the Gods in Olympus, leading to other problems. So, it’s best to find a peaceful and diplomatic solution.”

“I’ll be fine — I think. But what about you?”

“This world is very accepting of magic, so we don’t have to worry about adapting for too long. So, the only problem is fixing these damaged systems.”

“Alright, I’ll leave everything to you.”

Edward walked out of the city with his hands raised. As soon as he appeared, countless spears, swords, and bows pointed at him.

“Easy, I came here in peace.”

“A man? Why have you intruded into our territory?” asked Hippolyta, the Queen of Amazon and Diana's (Wonder Woman) mother.

“An accident. My ship landed in this place by accident?”

“Ship? Such a large city is a ship?” asked Diana.

“Well, although a little flamboyant, but yes — it’s a ship.”

Edward saw her beautiful eyes light up, probably wanting to say a compliment. Alas, before she could speak further, Hippolyta spoke. “You are now under Amazonian soil, so accept surrender before we discuss how to deal with you. Do not make any hostile moves.”

Edward frowned as he pondered. It would be easy to subdue these people, showing them he could have easily harmed them. But such an act might elicit a negative response.

If it was only Diana, this could work. But with how Hippolyta is portrayed in different media, such a move might make her consider him a bigger threat and escalate the situation.

‘Fine, let’s allow them to capture me. Anyway, these people cannot harm me, and I can consider this situation as experiencing bondage after a long while.’

Edward placed his hands together to show his surrender. Hippolyta motioned for one of the Amazons to tie his hands. Edward secretly shook his head at how primitive such a move was. He thought they would use some magical artifact, but it was just a robe made with a unique material. Such a restraint was a nightmare for a normal mortal man but nothing to him.

“Follow us,” said the queen with a stern face.
