(Author note: Living Tribunal knows about the Beyonder. But Universe 691 or any other beings didn't meet the Beyonder, so it's their first meeting.)
Just then, in a place only attainable to cosmic deities, the voice of the Living Tribunal boomed.
"ETERNITY, I TOLD YOU THE BOY WAS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!" He shouted at the Eternity while looking at the Protege, who have copied the Beyonder's powers.
One Beyonder is already harmful to the Multiverse, now the second one has come.
It all thanks to Ben Tennyson, who was continuously reversing all of the effects of Beyonder, or even the Living Tribunal didn't know what to do about it.
"Acknowledged! However, there are forces at work that I could not anticipate! Perhaps we need to contact-them!" Eternity accepted his fault.
"THAT IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY. HOW HEALS YOUR INJURY?" Beyonder asked Eternity.
Eternity has wounds on his chest, which was created when Bubonicus was fighting with the Galactic Guardian.
In the Galactic Guardian the team members were, Wileaydus Autolycus, able to generate Kauri (Hell) fire and transform into the skull-headed, Death-Cycle riding Spirit of Vengeance.
Firelord, former Herald of Galactus and now Eon's chosen Protector of the Universe.
Hollywood, formerly the hero Wonder Man. And the last Giraud also known as the Phoenix, Universe 691 Phoenix Force was gone inside him. They all were fighting with the Bubonicus with his pulse Wanda, and in the middle of their fight a wound was created on the Eternity.
"Your concern does me honor, Tribunal. The wound is- closing slowly!" Eternity replied.
"FOR I MUST TURN MY FULL ATTENTION TO THE BOY!" The Living Tribunal said, as he continued his focus on the Beyonder and Protege through the holographic display.
"The Beyonder continues to escalate his conflict with the Protege; the child's assimilation of infinite omnipotence is fast approaching! My recent encounter with Bubonicus and Phoenix taught me the meaning of pain! now i begin to comprehend... fear!" Eternity replied as he also focused on the fight between the Beyonder and Protege.
"Keep going, Beyonder! In all my years of observing and duplicating power displays, this is the ultimate lesson!" Protege said while fighting with Beyonder, his size has also increased.
"Father, the wretched brat's capability is increasing geometrically! Can we ever hope to contain and control him now?" Malevolence asked Mephisto.
"Of course! Only when the power is absolute will it corrupt absolutely! Be patient a while longer, my dear!" Mephisto replied to Malevolence, Beyonder then remembered about the Guardians of Galaxy and went to ask them for help.
"Did you see that, Malevolence? He turned tail and ran! I scared off the Beyonder!" Protege said to Malevolence.
"Hmmm, Perhaps," Malevolence replied.
"Perhaps?! Choose your words very carefully, matriarch! I could blink you out of existence! Now tell me again what you saw!" Protege became angry at Malevolence.
"We both observed your glorious triumph over the hostile captor from beyond! Forgive her, Protege! She was struck dumb by your magnificence... As was I!" Mephisto answered in place of the Malevolence.
"Yes, that's right," Protege proudly nodded.
Seeing the results of their battle, the Living Tribunal has reached a final decision and he invites entities such as Chaos and Order, the Gardener, Eon, the Celestials, and the In-Betweener, and of course Ben Tennyson also comes there. Which was new for the other beings, but the Living Tribunal introduced him to other beings.

Meanwhile, Protege was happily celebrating his victory, "Boy oh boy! I ran the beyonder out of his own backyard! This Universe now belongs to me! With all my newly acquired power I can reshape it any way I like!"
"As you predicted, father, the child was intoxicated by his sudden omnipotence!" Malevolence said to Mephisto.
"Indeed! The time has come to press our advantage!" Mephisto nodded.
"Malevolence! You and your father will accompany me on a tour of this new-found reality," Protege ordered them.
"My lord Protege, would it not be more prudent to first establish order?" Mephisto tried to manipulate him.
"You mean let everything and everyone know there's a new man in charge?" Protege asked.
"Precisely your grace? Power such as yours must be wielded Carefully... Perhaps even shared," Mephisto answered.
"These treacherous invaders are trying to control my powers, my overconfidence allowed the Protege to observe and duplicate many of my abilities but not all of them! And this demonic Mephisto that tempts him, and is trying to take my powers!" Beyonder thought, as he was hearing all of their talk by hiding.
"I must defeat and take back my powers, before it is too late! Perhaps I need... assistance! The one called Vance Astro whom I previously encountered. I shall bring them here at once!" He made decision and using his powers, he teleported the Guardian of Galaxy towards himself, who were just defeated the Dr. Doom also failed his plan to take over the Wolverine Adamantium's Skeleton.
But suddenly they found themselves transported in front of the Mephisto, Malevolence and Protege.
"Gorgon's hoofprints!" Talon shouted, as he didn't understand what happened just now.
"Chunky where are we?" Nikki asked.
"I don't know, Nikki! are you still with us, Rita?" Charlie 27 replied.
"In my own small way!" Rita replied.
"Vance! What treachery is this?" Starhawk asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine, Aleta!" Vance replied.
"Heads up, boys and girls! My sorcery sources tell me we're far from home!" Talon replied, but they didn't know where they were transported.
"By the ankh! It's the Guardians Of The Galaxy!" Protege said.
"Father! Those are the accursed heroes who prematurely woke me from my soul sleep!" Malevolence explained.
"I know, daughter! Their leader has been working with the Beyonder from the beginning of your captivity! Step forward, Vance Astro!" Mephisto nodded, then he shouted at Vance.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?"
"I have observed you with the enemy! Your black undergarment bears witness to your conspiracy and at this close proximity I sense... something more," Mephisto said, and suddenly Beyonder appeared there.
"I am-the Beyonder! I needed you Guardians Of The Galaxy to help repel these villains," Beyonder explained.
"Look at the size of him!" Charlie 27 said, as the Beyonder size was big, but at the same time, Protege size also grew the same as the Beyonder.
"You know this guy, Vance," Nikki asked.
"Major Victory! You warned me to beware the boy and in my haughtiness, I ignored you! Even a God can admit error and learn… Just as the Protege is about to learn a much needed lesson in respect!" Beyonder accepted his mistake.
"Ha! You bring me here like a caged zoo specimen and dare to talk about respect? The game is over, Beyonder! Henceforth, I will kill you," Protege said to Beyonder.
"Blasphemous Youth! You have not begun to assimilate the full extent of true cosmic power, child!" Beyonder shouted at the Protege.
"Show me what you ve got aged one! I'll match it and then some!" Protege mocked him.
"Suddenly, the two towering figures vanish into an intra-dimensional confluence unlike anything ever seen in this or any other reality… And with the Mephisto, Malevolence and Guardian of Galaxy also Vanished.
"Talon! Where are we going again?" Vance asked. "I don't know, today was just our bad luck!" Nikki replied.
"What kind of trick was that?" Protege asked Beyonder.
"It was not my doing!" Beyonder replied, then he noticed, Guardians Of The Galaxy also comes with them.
"Beyonder! I demand to know where we are and what happened to–" Aleta asked.
"Silence, Alita! Mere mortals make no demands where the cosmic ones dwell…" Beyonder shouted.
"Indeed! You all need to be silent... Lest you incur the wrath of Celestial, Scathan The Approver!" Eternity said, as he looked towards them.
"YOUR DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOR HAS BROUGHT YOU BEFORE THE LIVING TRIBUNAL! JUDGMENT IS UPON YOU BOTH TO THAT END HE SHALL BEAR WITNESS! SO BE IT!"
"Who is this guy talking about," Protege asked Beyonder.
"Show some semblance of decorum, youngster!" Beyonder replied back, then they noticed they were standing in the hands of a Celestial.
"We Stand On A Celestial," Protege said, Beyonder nodded.
"ETERNITY- INTRODUCED THE ACCUSED" The Living Tribunal commands the Eternity.
