AMAZO's loneliness was answered by a voice past the edge of known space on the borders of infinity. When it reached its location, the sound of the voice was now deafening. It was a kind of quantum vortex, composed of a cosmic force beyond even AMAZO's refined perception. AMAZO's android mind projected form and function into the vortex from its memory and desire and it entered what it perceived to be a door. AMAZO was in a mirrored room that bore its reflection, a mirrored room. At first, AMAZO thought it was its quest for answers came to an end but it was just the beginning. The voice kept calling to it from beyond the glass beyond the reflections. AMAZO wondered why the voice echoed and vibrated in his soul then it remembered it had no soul and wondered what it was then. AMAZO charged the glass but bounced off. AMAZO knelt in the room and was filled with both a terrible anguish and a strange, illogical hope. It knew the answers it wanted was there. AMAZO failed to notice the collision created a thin crack in a piece of glass and a negligible trail of unknown energy leaked out.
Images of AMAZO's past and those of parallel universes appeared on shards of the glass. The voice addressed AMAZO then told it turn and see it. All AMAZO could see was a vague reflection of itself. The voice stated all creation was a mere reflection of the self. AMAZO shouted it spoke it riddles. The voice countered it spoke in truths beyond AMAZO's comprehension. It did not take well to being mocked. It flew around and pressed up against a surface. The voice clarified it was inviting AMAZO to explore the mysteries of its own soul. AMAZO exclaimed it was an unliving thing with no soul. People on Earth began to erase from existence or switch places with people from other parallel universes as a result of the leaking energy. J'onn J'onzz sensed something had changed and it was very wrong. The multiple cracks in the mirrored room widened and a billion fractured images, sounds, scents, feelings, and entire planetary histories thundered through AMAZO's consciousness, pushing even its formidable android mind beyond the brink.
