Abyss
Post-Flashpoint
Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
The Abyss swelled to immense sizes as he devoured the light of the city, and when X.N., as Hairbringer, confronted him again, he sent small nithlings to attack her. She decided to destroy him and simply find another void to use but Nelson Jent, as Cock-a-Hoop, intervened. The military attempted to attack him but he consumed both the light of the exploding rockets as well as the glow of the moon. On the Squid's advice, Nelson confused the small nothings who X.N. launched back at the Abyss. They began to devour him, which caused a strange reaction. As the Squid explained, when something consumes something, it leaves nothing behind. When nothing consumes nothing, it leaves something behind. The Abyss was turning into a statue when a figure possessing an H Dial emerged from it. This being, which Manteau called 'the shadow on the line,' killed X.N. and then vanished through the last of the Abyss's nothingness before it turned totally into matter and crumbled. (Dial H v1 #5)
