Chapter 224: Meeting
Three days after the Solstice Night event, the event that swept the universe also entered the stage of subsidence, and as Kewen used the power of the Spirit of Being to bring the universe back to life, everything was back on track. Death is the most terrible thing, but the spirit of existence has turned this most terrible thing around, and the resurrected creatures and cosmic civilizations have also organized their own manpower to rebuild the order of the cosmic sector where they are located.
And the Green Lantern Legion, which maintains the order of the universe, and other Lantern Ring Legions, which have friction with each other, have also entered a truce in such an environment. The current universe doesn't have the strength to toss it again, whether it's a local war or a full-scale war, as for the last blue lantern ring in the Lantern Ring, Kewen also broke away from himself after returning to the earth, and returned to the hands of the only two universe guardians, Ganser and Said.
Sector 0 of the universe, the O'Als, the base camp of the Green Lantern Corps. As the headquarters of the Guardian Center of the Universe and the Green Lantern Legion, it is naturally also in the care of Kewen's Spirit of Existence, although he resurrected those Green Lantern Men who died in the Black Lantern Army, but as the commander-in-chief of the Green Lantern Army, those Universe Guardians were not resurrected, because strictly speaking, they did not die at the hands of the Black Light Army, but were killed by Scarface, who was also a Guardian, and could not be counted in the resurrection.
Now, there are only two remaining Guardians of the Universe in the universe, Ganther and Seid, these two Guardians of the Universe who have not stripped themselves of their emotions, look at their home planet and are speechless for a long time, because they know the responsibilities they have to bear as the guardians of the Universe.
"Ganse, what are we going to do next?" Seid, the female guardian of the universe, looked at the companion beside her, the wise man who had not been detached from her emotions as herself, and at this time her hands were hidden in her sleeves, frowning, and silent.
After a long time, the guardian stretched out his hand, and the blue lantern ring made by himself floated out again and came to Said's hand.
"The Green Lantern Legion can't live without a Guardian, and the Seven Lantern Legion also needs to live up to its name, Seid, from today onwards, you are the Guardian of the Universe of the Blue Lantern Legion."
"What about you?" Holding the blue light ring in his hand, Syd also asked with some uneasiness.
"I need to take on my responsibilities, the guardians of the universe are the only ones left, our original intention is right, the guardians of the universe cannot be swayed by emotions, but we cannot be controlled by absolute reason, so, we all have to make sacrifices, my emotions, just keep with you, Seid, for the sake of this endless universe."
Turning his head to look at the Guardian of the Universe who was walking side by side with him, Guardian Ganser put his finger on his forehead, and a life emotion that belonged to him was stripped away and handed into Said's hands. The originally kind and kind face gradually became cold as Ganse's emotions were withdrawn, turned into a cloud of colorful light, and handed it to Said. From then on, there was no more wise man Ganser, only the guardian of the universe.
In Said's reluctant eyes, Ganser led the resurrected Green Lantern Army to re-settle in the O'a Star, and the energy battery in the center lit up again, green, representing the will, and the light of life lit up from this planet again, but in this light, an unspoken relationship was buried.
Universe, Sector 2812, Earth, Watchtower, Justice League Headquarters. As the final battle center of this great event, the Earth is the most traumatized, but it is also the most prominent. At least in the post-disaster reconstruction work, there are big infrastructure madmen taking the lead, and the black light army is only a massacre for lives, which also makes the reconstruction work not so difficult to complete, but in terms of post-disaster psychological construction, it is difficult to say how long it will take.
But none of this has anything to do with the members of the Justice League meeting at the Watchtower today, who are gathered here for a more important meeting. At this time, in the watchtower, several elders of Zhenglian, in addition to Wonder Woman, who also needed to recuperate in Wayne Manor, could not attend, Superman, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern Howl, The Flash, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Eagle Woman, and Zatara on the mysterious side gathered here, waiting for the opening of Batman, the initiator of the meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been three days since the night of solstice, but I have gathered you here not to talk about the performance of each of us in this great event, but to talk about the truth hidden in this great event." As soon as Batman heard Batman talk about this big event, everyone's attention was highly concentrated, and when the so-called truth was mentioned in his words, everyone couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, Green Lantern Hal and Flash Barry, who had been prepared, glanced at each other, and there was a solemnity in their eyes, "The universe we are in at the moment, everyone, including me, has undergone a reboot, in short, our universe has been restarted." โ
As soon as the words came out, everyone, except for Hal and Barry, including Superman, also gasped. Without him, Batman's words at this time were too shocking to people's hearts, and those present were not stupid, and they all understood what this so-called reboot meant, which meant that each of their lives was controlled by some higher being, repeating a life over and over again.
"Calm down, guys, things are not what you think. To us, it's more like the strain mechanism of our universe, in a certain situation, to zero everything out and start over, and in the process of repeating, to find a way forward that can move forward without restarting. As soon as they saw that everyone seemed to have been shocked, Hal and Barry, who had already retrieved some of their memories, hurriedly comforted them, so as not to be shocked by this so-called fact.
With Hal and Barry constantly doing psychological construction there, this makes everyone feel at ease. And Batman is also saying there, the truth of this so-called reboot universe, "Just like Hal and Barry said, I understand this reboot as the contingency mechanism of our universe, through continuous reboots, constantly revising some events that we have experienced and have a strong sense of immediacy, just like this Solstice Night event, in fact, we have already experienced once, or even more." It's also been through the storm, but the price paid has changed. โ
"So, what's on the agenda this time, Bruce." Superman, as the leader of the Justice League, sat on the chairman's seat, and after listening to Batman's report, Superman's super brain was also online, and he quickly sorted out the lines, and because of this, he also called Batman's real name for the first time at the meeting, which shows the importance he attaches to this topic.
"The issue is, as I said earlier, our universe has been soft-rebooted, and many people's lives have been forced to make changes. I don't know if life is good or bad right now, but now there's a chance for the Flash to use the speed force to reboot the entire universe again, and there's a good chance that everything will be put back on track, but it needs your own opinion, I'm the initiator, and I give up voting. โ
After Batman finished speaking, he handed over the choice to the rest of the Justice League, and the members of the Justice League in the Watchtower all entered a state of confusion because of this sudden news, not knowing what choice to make. They are not Flash, nor are they Green Lanterns, the former is one of the accomplices in causing this new 52 universe that has not been completely restarted, and the latter was influenced by Dr. Manhattan and retrieved some of his memories, most of the members of the Zhenglian have no impression of their experience in the old 52 universe, and they don't know what kind of new life they will experience once they are restarted.
"I have a question for you before I call for a vote, Bruce." Superman, who was on the chairman's seat, looked at Batman, who was sitting opposite him, and asked solemnly.
"Say."
"If the restart is successful, what will change beyond putting everything back on track."
โยทยทยท Some creatures that exist in this cosmic era will retain the memories of this universe, but we will not, we will become the most familiar strangers, and some creatures that were born in this cosmic era will also disappear because of the chaos. โ
After saying this, everyone felt that Superman's breathing was a little heavier, and at this moment, looking at Batman's eyes, Superman thought a lot, his son, and Kewen, who had just saved the universe. For some reason, Superman immediately thought of the two of them, and then looked at Batman, Superman suddenly understood what this guy was doing, and let out a sigh of relief, and then smiled.
"So, I chose to give up, it's good now, each of our lives hasn't changed, and even become more energetic because of some factors, I don't want to do NG again, even if this NG can make us live a better life again, it can also get worse, isn't it?"
As Superman chose to give up, the members of the Zhenglian also voted for Superman to give up, and for a while, this meeting on whether to take the initiative to restart the universe simply ended. The members of the meeting also left separately, taking advantage of this free time to slowly digest the bombs dropped by Batman, and on the watchtower, only Superman and Batman were left sitting at the conference table, looking at each other.
"You knew from the beginning that I was going to abstain?"
"No, but I believe that you will, because you never believe in a future without certainty, you believe in the future in your own hands, but others are not, and I need you to take the lead."
"Batman would choose to trust anyone else?!"
"Batman won't, but Bruce Wayne will, to be honest, I also like the current universe, it's not static, our spirit, our responsibilities will be taken over by the next generation who are good enough, and if I can, I don't want such a cosmic era to restart."
"Then protect this era, the two of us, anyway, you should have time this time, right?"
Sitting next to Batman and responding to Batman's words, Superman also took out a red box from his belt, opened it, and placed a diamond ring inside.
"Rings?"
"yes, the ring."
