3	!!Summary:
4	Picking up from the catastrophic events of ''[[Recap/DCUniverseOnlineEpisode36 Metal: Part 2]]'', the cracking of the Source Wall has caused the multiverse to go crazy. Themyscria has fused with various versions of itself from across the multiverse into a "Patchwork Themyscria". Even worse, the God of War Ares and his army of Mythological Creatures, the Olympian Gods lead by Queen of the Gods Hera, the Flashpoint Atlanteans lead by the vengeful Flashpoint Aquaman, and the New Gods lead by the dreaded Darkseid seek to invade the island to retrieve fallen shards of the Source Wall. With your help, the prime Wonder Woman must recruit four other versions of herself -- [[ComicBook/DCComicsBombshells the Wonder Woman of the Bombshell universe]], [[ComicBook/SupermanRedSon a Diana from where Kal-El landed in Soviet Russia]], [[ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}} Queen Diana of Barry Allen's accidentally-created Flashpoint universe]] and [[ComicBook/TheMultiversity Nubia, the Wonder Woman of Earth-23]] -- and find out how to fix things and drive away these invaders!
