googledox[It's Brainy in the magical research room this time, and he's sporting a pair of elf ears and frowning at the mess. He's using the wall comm to communicate with the rest of team, so he can tap tap away at his omnicom.]
[He's also wearing a pair of fuzzy slippers.]
[mumblegrumble] Magic. Always such a mess.
Every pair of boots I own turned into non-Euclidean geometry, and I blame all of you. [He means the research team, not the whole team.]
[Before he has a chance to grumble more, the locks on the book break, due to the team being good sports and working through their respective magical messes. The book opens, there's a bright light and then...]
[The spells all over Legion World disperse, the frogs disappear from the research room, and there's a floating throne in the book's place, a hovering, sleek, high tech looking device that looks like it's far more than just something to sit on. Lines of light run through it. There are alarming looking brown stains spattered over the seat.]
[Brainy's jaw drops.]
Metron's chair! [It comes out in a hushed exclamation. He follows up with:] It's...well. Metron's chair. The Mobius Chair.
[Brainy starts scanning it.]
It once belonged to Metron, one of the New Gods. He was of the same species as Darkseid, the god-despot of Apokolips, though slightly more closely aligned with the non-villainous New Gods of New Genesis.
Slightly. The Legion met him when we were trapped in the 21st century and he gave the impression of being highly self-interested and primarily concerned with the pursuit of knowledge. He styled himself as a god of knowledge, in fact.
It was through bargaining with him that I was able to obtain a mother box, one of the components that allowed me to create Computo to get us back to our proper point in the timeline - the same technology we attached to the T-gates to create the boomtubes to and from Apokolips.
[His eyebrows raise.]
These stains are old but they're almost certainly blood, and they're New God in origin. Clearly, he must have suffered some kind of catastrophic fate.
I believe the throne appearing as a book was meant to be camouflage, to hide its true nature. As for the effects it caused all over Legion World, my readings indicate that it's unlikely they emanated from the throne itself - rather, they may have been a protective spell cast over it to deter those attempting to access its contents, possibly by the Wizard or parties unknown.
[He looks up at the wall comm, delight flooding his expression, his words picking up speed and racing with excitement.]
The implications of this -- the knowledge about the nature of spacetime we could uncover -- I have no way of properly explaining --
[He briefly pauses.]
Sorry, my tracks of consciousness are getting a little overexcited, so I'll settle on the most important point:
This throne is a repository of all the knowledge Metron acquired through the millennia. There are myriad viable options to defeat Chronoblivion in our universe - hidden magical artifacts like the Spear of Destiny; ancient, forgotten, galactic siege weapons; memetic devices designed for ideological warfare... There are also powerful natural and mystical forces of this universe, like the emotional spectrum, or the Green, that we could potentially exploit to defeat It.
The problem has always been knowing where they are, or precisely how to manipulate them, but if we can safely access the throne's knowledge base...
This may be what we need to finally defeat Chronoblivion.
