Chapter 70: The End of Reincarnation

With Superman's return, the group seems to be back to square one, as Cowen had previously observed in the multiverse, and the -10 Red Child Earth timeline had not changed in the slightest. Superman, who ended the war, came to the throne directly after returning to Moscow, becoming the supreme leader of the Soviets, without the need for a prefix to the words, when he returned, all about Superman's contribution as a human being.

And his achievements in ending the war and expanding the Soviet overseas territory again, so that the people of this country willingly surrender their rights to Superman, and the former supreme leader abdicated without any objection. At this point, the world pattern changed, and in three months, the banner of Soviet power led by superhuman beings began to be planted all over the world.

For ten years, everything Superman has done for this country as a human being, and the resources he has accumulated after he took power in another capacity, have begun to operate in an orderly manner with his orders. The difference from before was that he didn't mind using his own power, the power of the human gods.

One by one, policies were implemented under Superman's will, and then implemented, and the whole world began to operate with Superman's will, moving in the direction he wanted at the beginning. During the period when Superman began to interfere with the operation of the world with his own will, Curvin just stayed in the watch shop where the old Superman was, helping the three Dick trio who were affected by the turbulence of time and space to adjust their state.

Or give Superman a hand and fix his time tram, as for the changes in the outside world every day like a year, he has no curiosity at all. Just doing his own thing there, and Superman, from the time he became the supreme leader of the Soviets, did not return here, and in this collective farm where he was raised, it would have been a breeze for him.

The whole world is running under the will of Superman, just like the timeline experienced before, Lex Luthor also adopted a policy of seclusion after Superman took the throne, cut off his country from the rest of the world, and began to enter the mode of self-production and self-sales, and Superman, who was changed back under Lex's heavy arrangement, did not care about Lex's small actions.

Time walked forward like this, and in the watch shop, Superman Lao stopped what he was doing and muttered for a while before saying, "Okay, your time tram." ”

"That's a real help."

Ke Wen, who was on the side, looked at the new time tram in front of him, and also thanked the old superman.

"Just do what I can do, are you ready to leave?"

"Yes, someone is leaving, go and give him a ride, can you handle this matter? About him. ”

"No problem, it's me anyway, and he's waiting for me, waiting for me to help him with the last step."

"In this case, then everything over here, please leave it to you."

Nodding, Kewen didn't have any doubts about Old Superman's statement, glanced at the three Dicks who were still sleeping, their figures flashed, and they also disappeared into the watch store where Old Superman was.

The dark multiverse, the outer part of the Earth's universe numbered -10, blue light flashed, and the old 52 Wally, who was sitting on the chair of Morbius, appeared here, glanced at the Earth where he had stayed, and there was a bit of nostalgia in his eyes. It's all over, even though Curvin has done so much, he and Lex have only done some of the simplest operations, and the timeline of change is back to square one, towards that self-annihilating ending.

"Is everything you did meaningful, it's not the same, then, I can restart the universe with peace of mind, I hope that in the next universe, I can be friends with you, Kewen."

With these words, the old 52 Wally was also ready to turn around and leave, and began to go to the end of the multiverse, surround the wall of speed force in this multiverse with the resonance of his body, and start to restart the entire multiverse, back to the multiverse where he once lived, and everything will start again.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw that Kewen was already waiting behind him. When he saw Kewen appear here, the old 52 Wally was also stunned, he didn't know why Kewen appeared here, obviously Kewen had lost this game, and the restart cycle couldn't be broken at all, so what was the point of continuing to fight with himself.

"What are you doing here, stop me? Does it work, you have already lost. Looking at Cowen, who appeared here, the old 52 Wally also asked.

"It must be to stop you, I said before, the only person who can stop you is me, as for saying that I lost, I didn't reach the end, why do you think I lost."

"I don't even understand what you're struggling with, it's so hard to accept restarting the universe? In the past that you and I didn't know before, this multiverse may have been restarted more than once, so many times, why, not this time! ”

"Yes, no. It's not that I don't accept the reboot of the universe, but I also know that even if I do more, like you said, maybe at some point in the future, because of an unstoppable event, everything may go back to square one and start again. But the difference is that in the previous reboots, every time it was lost, I hope that if at some point in the future, when the entire multiverse is restarted again, it will be a restart with a kind of happiness, struggle, and no regrets, not because of your and my personal will, but a simple restart. ”

"So what's the point of such a reboot!"

"Yes, it doesn't make sense, but that's the biggest meaning, I have experienced, I have struggled, I have failed, I have regrets, but at least I will not have regrets. As for you saying that I have lost and you have won, it is still too early, everything is not over, this -10 earth, you haven't seen the end yet. ”

Raising his hand, the gray dimensional wall rose from behind Kewen, and the muddy dimensional wall began to show the appearance of Moscow, in the administrative district of the Kremlin, there was a palace belonging to Superman, which he had built in three months. There are no guards, after all, this is Superman's palace.

And in front of this palace, the figure of the old superman appeared, looked at the palace that he had also built, sighed with emotion, and walked in like this, without any obstruction, and no one found him.

"Who is he!"

"The third party who adopted Superman, oh, he has another identity, which is Superman who survived the collapsed timeline before we intervened in this -10 Earth, a Superman who has experienced together."

Through the dimensional wall provided by Kewen, the old 52 Wally and Curwen, who were preparing to leave the dark multiverse at this time, were also watching the end of the -10 Earth universe.

In the palace built by Superman in the Kremlin, Superman, who has returned to his identity as the son of red, sits in his place, with a display screen in front of him, showing everything under the jurisdiction of the Soviets, and he does not interfere too much in the internal affairs of other countries. But with Superman's version of the decree, one policy after another, silently, more and more countries have changed their minds and tried to join the Soviet camp.

Laziness is rooted in the DNA of human beings, and now everyone sees that as long as there is a superman leading all this, the so-called Datong society is no longer a dream, and they are likely to be the first beneficiaries of Datong society, and they can live a happy and happy life for all, in this case, why not?

Superman just looked at the situation in the various regions on the screen, his face was neither happy nor sad, and he did not feel a trace of joy for what he was doing now, but a kind of dazed and lost. In the empty palace, footsteps appeared in front of Superman with a shadow that stretched on the ground.

"Really let Dad, you are right, I really can't change the world, change people's hearts, and in the end, I betrayed my ideals just like you, Dad."

"Betrayed ideals? No, Somyshka, my child, you are doing better than I thought. At least you tried and tried, but I didn't even try at the beginning, until I made a big mistake and everything was irreparable, I didn't understand what I was wrong. ”

For Superman, who made a different attempt, although in the end he came back because of the restraint of the world line, the old Superman did not have any anger. He stood in front of Superman like this, in front of himself who had tried something different from himself, he was himself, but he was not himself.

"What am I doing? Daddy, look at these displays, I'm exerting my will, my might, on this world. I know it's wrong, but you tell me what I can do to get things back on track. ”

Superman pointed to the displays, and the empty palace was in the same state of mind as Superman, he was lonely, so lonely that he didn't know who to tell his inner thoughts. Because everyone around him will tell him that it's right to do it, it's good, and you've made the world a better place.

But the inner voice tells Superman that everything is wrong, but he no longer knows what to do right, how to do it so that it will not avoid the mistakes that happened before.

"That's what I told you at the beginning, Somyshka. For this world, Superman's power is too strong, so strong that no one can sanction it, whether it is Lex or others, the power they show, as long as you want, everything is like paper. No one can stop you from doing anything but yourself. ”

"But I can't convince myself, can I, and if I could, I shouldn't have shown myself in the eyes of the world."

"That's right, in this world, there is never a need for a superman, he doesn't belong here, he shouldn't be here, he's just a poor kid who was forced to inherit a responsibility and couldn't live his life."

"So are you here to take me back, or are you here to end my erroneous rule."

"It's both, kid, Superman shouldn't appear in this world, everything works has its own laws, and human society is the same, it's time for Superman to disappear from people's memories."

Standing there, the old Superman also took out the dial that he had been putting in his pocket, and on the dial at this time, an illusory pattern representing the red son Superman's outfit was forming, and the old Superman was holding the dial of this pattern that was gradually taking shape and walked towards Superman.

When he saw Superman take out something that he didn't understand at all, Old 52 Wally, who was watching all this, couldn't hold back his impulse, so he planned to move to the area where Superman and Superman were at this time to stop all this from happening. It's just that before he could make a move, Ke Wen, who was watching all this from the side, also stopped him, and the gray dimensional wall brushed by, taking him and the old 52 Wally to disappear into the dark multiverse, and when he reappeared, he was already on the flat ground of a barren mountain.

"Hey, I didn't stop you when you put me together to make him Superman, and now, when he makes his own choices, are you going to play a scoundrel? What I hate the most is this kind of behavior of flipping the table when I can't afford to play.,How does he decide?,You and I don't have the right to interfere.,Honestly watch this one that belongs to his choice.。 ”

In the unknown zone, Superman, the son of red, who belongs to -10 Earth, and the old Superman are still talking there, and the old 52 Wally, who is watching all this through the dimensional wall, also turns his head to look at Curvin. When the old superman took out the dial, this kind of thing that was completely outside the scope of his cognition, except for Kewen, who also did not exist in his past cognition and appeared in the nascent universe, no one should understand.

"Your backhand?"

"Me? To be honest, I was almost as surprised as you were when he brought it out, because I didn't expect it to be here, but since you think it's my backhand, right? ”

As he spoke, Ke Wen also took out a blank dial from his pocket, which was the blank dial that appeared in his pocket when he fell into the -10 Earth Universe Timeline. This time, he didn't have a bizarre unknown dream like in the Injustice Universe, nor did he go back to the past of the timeline and hand over the dial to Superman, because in the picture, the dial pattern in Superman's hand was not formed.

That is, this dial was in the hands of the old Superman from the beginning, which is strange.

"Sure enough, there is no logic to talk about the physique of King Shi at all, or I am naΓ―ve."

Looking at the dial in his hand, Ke Wen also complained there, about the physique of King Shi that the system exchanged for him, rubbing the dial with his bare hands, it was completely out of nowhere, including before he crossed over, there was no explanation for the watch face of each returning senior knight in the Shi Wang unit drama, just so simply appeared in their hands, and then waited for King Shi to come and receive it.

Ke Wen, who didn't understand how the dial in the old Superman's hand came from, was in no mood to think about this, he and the old 52 Wally stood here, looking at the dimensional wall, what kind of choice Superman would make on the current timeline.

"What is this," looked at the dial that Old Superman handed to him, Superman also wondered, he could see the illusory, not yet fully solidified pattern on it, it seemed to be himself, it was the pattern of his uniform wearing a sickle and axe as a symbol, but he didn't understand why his father had such a strange thing.

"This is a gift from the universe, I didn't understand what this thing was at first, it appeared in my hands when I brought you back from the sea. In the beginning, it was just a mediocre dial, but as I taught you how to control your power, how to make you a real normal person, it was slowly taking shape, forming a pattern of your own, just like what you see now. ”

"What's the point, you didn't show me how weird it is, Daddy."

"Meaning? Its meaning is to record, to record everything that belongs to the protagonist of this universe, and time will record everything that has existed, and the same is true for this dial. From the time you came to this world to the present, everything that has been done in this universe has been recorded, and the power it has is more than that, the so-called record can be active or passive,

It passively records history, and in the same way, it can also record all the history that belongs to you, and the history of Superman is the incomparable power and the kindness that no one can reach, choose one of the two, you make a choice. ”

Put the dial in front of Superman, and the old Superman will give him the power to choose, power and goodness, Superman can only choose the same. At this moment, whether it is the old Superman who is on the scene or the Cowen and the old 52 Wally in the unknown area, they are also waiting for Superman's choice, and he will decide that this universe will eventually go in the other direction.

Looking at the dial placed in front of him, and what the old Superman had just said, Superman was silent, he looked back at the people in each of the Soviet's ruling areas on the display, who were singing the praises of what he had done as Superman, and then looked back at the dial on the table, and there was a smile on his expressionless face.

"Until now, I still can't let go of this situation, but Dad, you once told me that changing the world does not have to rely on the so-called power, and also said that if there is really that day, you will sacrifice yourself to stop me, but what, in ten years, I also have a little bit of my own summed up truth, there is a sentence, I must make it clear to you."

"What?"

"Sacrifice is a shortcut, I don't need you to sacrifice yourself to save me, if the world doesn't have Superman, and you return to the world of ordinary people, although there will still be pain, but at least at that time, there is no power to destroy the world, but I am kind enough, maybe I can make some of the pain that happened around me less, if I can, I hope everyone even forgets my memory as a superman and as a Somyshka."

As he spoke, Superman reached out and held the dial with the pattern still in an illusory state, and the thought in his heart became extremely strong as he held the dial. And the dial that responds to Superman's idea, the illusory pattern is also completely solidified at this moment, and a bust of Superman with a sickle and axe pattern on his chest appears on the dial, and at the same time, there is an electronic voice that sounded in this palace.

【Superman! The red son! (Superman, Red Son!) )】

With this electronic sound, the dial was completely formed, looking at the completely formed dial in his hand, Superman was stunned for a moment, because when this voice sounded, he could feel something disappear from himself, handed the dial to Old Superman, looked at the alloy table next to him, and reached out his hand, as usual, only this time, the alloy table that should have been in Superman's hands as light as nothing did not move.

He had lost his strength, a force that could destroy the world, and he couldn't even lift this three-ton table!

"This, this worked?!" Looking at the immovable alloy table, Superman was surprised.

"Yes, now you are just a kind person whose name has been forgotten and has no power, just like me, now, let this thing return to its rightful place."

For Superman's surprise, the old Superman didn't have too many emotional fluctuations, and raised the dial in his hand, and the red son Superman dial in the old Superman's hand turned into a point of light and dissipated. As the dial that records everything Superman the Red does in the -10 Earth universe dissipates, everything about Superman the Red begins to crumble, most notably in the palace built by Superman himself.

This great building, which had been built in less than a day, began to crumble as quickly as if the palace had been made of sand. Falling rubble and dust obscured Superman and Old Superman, disappearing from Curwen's dimensional walls, leaving only a cloud of dust in their wake.

And the red son of Superman dial that turned into points of light and dissipated from the old superman's hand, those disappeared points of light also appeared next to Ke Wen, appeared on his blank dial, attached, condensed, and re-transformed into the red child dial, appeared in Ke Wen's hand. Looking at the red subdial in his hand, Ke Wen also subconsciously took out another dial in his system space, yes, it was the dial he obtained in the Injustice universe, the Injustice Superman dial.

"Eh, it won't be time for my time king to finally collect the Justice League series of universe dials, when will this be collected!"

Looking at the dials of the two multiverse supermen in his hand, Ke Wen suddenly had such an idea in his mind, if this is the case, it is too raw, how many trips do he have to run to the multiverse to finally get this time king exclusive to the whole thing! For the thought in his head, Curwen was in distress, and for the old 52 Wally, who was forced to see it all, he couldn't bear it.

"Why, why did he do this, why did he give up!" After reading the choice made by Superman, the old 52 Wally was also muttering to himself, he couldn't accept such a result, because it meant that everything he insisted on was wrong, it was wrong, and no one knew what the consequences of a crazy reboot of the universe would be.

Wally, the old 52, didn't know either, he just knew that if he didn't do it, he wouldn't even have the point of living.

"He's not giving up, he's just understanding one thing, he's been taking shortcuts before, and shortcuts are a good thing, they allow you to avoid a lot of detours, mistakes. But sometimes, without these detours and mistakes, people can't grow and can't understand what something means to themselves. No one wants to endure hardship, but you can't avoid it, he just brings the human society that has been led to a shortcut by himself back to the road full of bumps but can keep moving forward. So do you, Wally, it's time to come to your senses. ”

"Nope! I'm still here! I still remember them, they are waiting for me to take them back somewhere in the universe, so don't try to stop me! ”

As Superman, the son of red, gave up his powers, the old 52's Wally also fell into a state of paranoia, located on his forehead, where the atomic symbol representing Dr. Manhattan shimmered, and Curwen knew very well that such persuasion had no effect on Wally. So, he's just going through the process.

"Then now you know what's going to happen next, I'm going to take you back anyway, just right, I also want to know how far away I am from that blue man, you inherited some of his power, let me test it."

Around his waist, the Ajita belt appeared, and the gem in the middle of the belt began to glow dangerously red, flashing and disappearing in this unknown mountainous area. With a simple starting pose, look in front of the paranoid old 52 Wally.

"Transform!"
