Chapter Seventy-Seven: Destroying Everything! Destroyer of the world!
In the miniature universe created by Brainiac, Ke Wen, who is located in the Hall of Earth Justice, only feels like he has been struck by lightning when he listens to the old 52 Superman telling the truth about this universe, especially looking at the superman in front of him who is over half a hundred years old, he can't connect with the so-called remnants of time at all, all of this is too unbelievable.
"Do you know what you're talking about, Superman, the remnant of time? Can the remnants of time burn your power, and will the remnants of time grow old with the passage of time, is it not the same joke, and why is it the Flash sacrificing to the sky? ”
Sitting there, Curvin's hands began to tremble, and even then, he raised doubts and questioned the claims of the old 52 Superman. He had to do this, because only in this way could he convince himself not to be completely destroyed by this terrible fact in front of him.
"It's strange, you guessed it, but when I say it, why do I have to use all kinds of doubts to overturn my own thoughts."
The old 52 Superman didn't feel uncomfortable with the fact that he was a remnant of time, but instead watched Cowen's performance and teased him.
"Guess this kind of thing, you can guess as much as you want, but when the guess is true, anyone has to be scared, okay, especially what you are talking about now, the planet under my feet, all life, including you, is a remnant mark from the past, no, I have to take it slowly, there are too many exciting things on this multiverse journey, I can't hold back."
Compared with the blandness of the old 52 Superman, Kewen covered his face with his hands and took a deep breath, starting from bringing the old 52 Wally back from the dark multiverse, several major events in a row made his brain almost unbearable, although it didn't happen together, and there was a break in the middle, but there were a bunch of historical problems from the past universe, which was really difficult to overcome.
The old 52 Superman was also sitting there, looking at Kewen with interest, drinking coffee and counting the time silently.
"How's it going, is it enough?"
"Well, that's enough, since you keep me here, there are some things that only I can do, tell me, about everything here, what you use as a reason for the remnants of time, and what you want me to do."
"The psychological quality is good, and the newborn in the newborn universe is different."
praised Ke Wen for being able to adjust his mentality so quickly, snapped his fingers, and the artificial intelligence installed in the Justice Hall, the headquarters of the Justice League, also made Ke Wen a cup of hot tea, so that Ke Wen could calm down and listen to him tell all this.
"I know you find it strange, but that's the way it is. I think you should have learned from Wally about what happened when the universe was restarted, without any warning, everything happened so suddenly, me, Batman, the entire alliance, and the earth were reduced to pieces in the process of the universe reboot without any resistance, and I can tell you that Wally did not see an illusion, and at that moment, all of us were indeed dead.
Only Wally, protected by some force, enclosed in the force of speed, wandered between the restart of the universe and the rebirth of the universe. In fact, all this is not accidental, at that time, we were indeed dead, but you should understand that death is a momentary thing for most existences, and for those who are extremely speedy, it is a process that can be extended indefinitely. ”
Regarding the statement of the old 52 Superman, Ke Wen also nodded, this kind of thing is not something he has never experienced, the reverse lightning that he encountered in the flashpoint timeline before, wasn't it that when he was headshot by Flashpoint Batman, he used the speed force to stretch the process, and then differentiated into time remnants, trying to reverse the fact that he died.
Reversible Lightning himself is an extremely thorough speeder with a thorough study of the speed force, and it is not surprising that Kewen is able to do this. Now in front of Kewen, the entire earth has been infinitely lengthened by the Flash's death process with this trick, and he really does whatever he wants as a producer of the speed force.
"It's not as crazy as you think, as you can see, Barry paid the price, he completely assimilated himself to the speed force to fix us these remnants of time."
The old 52 Superman, who understood what Ke Wen was thinking at this time, also picked out the situation, and at the same time continued to talk about the next thing.
"So like you just saw, everybody survived this way, but Barry didn't. Of course, not all, as far as I know, our cosmic clown didn't appear on Earth in the form of a remnant of time, and it's clear that Barry also had his own choices when it came to pulling people. Perhaps it was to compensate for Barry's assimilation with the Speed Force so Wally was able to survive, in a living way. ”
"I know this, but there are still some things that I don't know, I'm curious, if the Flash of the universe before extended the process of your death indefinitely in this way, allowing you to exist as a remnant of time, then, will you, all the people on this earth, be resurrected, at some point in the future."
Speaking of this, Ke Wen's expression also became serious, the example of reverse lightning is in front, the state of the death process being infinitely extended, as long as you find a way to go back to the past and change the ending of death, you will naturally be resurrected. What kind of method and what kind of power does it take to do it with so many superheroes on a whole earth plus so many superheroes.
"This is the second key point I want to make, and the answer is that none of us can be resurrected." In response to Ke Wen's question, the old 52 Superman also calmly said his current situation, with a bit of ease.
"You should know that one of the conditions for satisfying the resurrection is that the future you died in still exists, but our universe has long become the cornerstone of the birth of a new universe, this is an irreversible process, even if the new universe flash you are in sacrifices himself again and restarts the universe, what he gets is just another new universe, so as far as you see us now, to some extent, are ghosts from the past."
"Then how do you explain the current situation, age, and the state of everyone." Pointing to his sideburns, Ke Wen also continued to ask.
"Well, I'll have to ask Brainiac who locked you up."
Speaking of which, the old 52 Superman also pointed to the top of his head, the artificial intelligence that once made himself and many superheroes scramble, had the top intelligence in the entire DC universe, and could interfere with multiple operations, Brainiac.
"In the whole process of the multiverse reboot, even after Barry sacrificed himself and brought back many of us from the past time in the form of time remnants, we actually didn't understand the reason why Barry did this, because the predetermined ending is irreversible, even if it exists in the form of time remnants, it only prolongs the process, and when the time comes, we will all disappear. But at this time, Brainiac appeared. ”
"He binds you with some kind of light, just as he does for the best cities of civilization, and collects the remnants of your time into the ship. And then created a miniature universe inside the ship, a miniature solar system, that allowed you to survive in his ship? ”
Taking over the words of the old 52 Superman, Ke Wen also finished the next story development, and the old 52 Superman nodded.
"Yes, Brainiac is worthy of being a robot of the twelfth level of intelligence, well, it is not right to say that a robot is not right, he can already exist as a creator. This miniature solar system is no different from the Earth we lived on before, and thanks to the protection of Brainiac's spaceship, we are able to exist in this life form, to experience life that we have never experienced before, as ordinary people who just want to do something good.
There aren't too many superpowered criminals, and there aren't those alien visitors who give us a constant headache, and the Justice League is just an international third-party organization that watches over the current order. ”
When he said this, the expression on the face of the old 52 Superman also became a little abnormal, emotional, remembrance, reluctant, and finally decisive. This series of expressions are all presented on the face of the old 52 Superman, which also makes Ke Wen even more confused. If the old 52 Superman didn't lie to him, Brainiac did a great thing, he let the old 52 universe that had disappeared survive in this form, and also let the old 52 Superman enjoy the life they should have.
"Ha, you still won't hide the words in your heart, it's all shown on your face, I know you're wondering what, we survived, isolated from the predetermined end of death, and existed in this miniature universe. But that's not the case, look. ”
teased Ke Wen, and the eyes of the old 52 Superman also turned red, and the hot gaze of adjusting the power was released from his eyes and hit directly on his palm. And Ke Wen also saw such a scene, his hot gaze cut through the palm of the old 52 Superman, but there was no red blood flowing from his palm,
In his slashed palm, there was nothing but nothingness.
"See, this is the way we exist now, no matter how much self-deception we have, it can't change the fact that we are all ghosts who have passed away, thanks to Brainiac's miniature universe, we have the same home, but the fake is the fake, we are dead, the laws used in living things are no longer applicable to us, whether it is injury or the passage of time, the reason why I am like this is that I want to do this."
With the explanation of the old 52 Superman, the palm that was cut by him with a hot vision also began to come out of blood, and then under his thoughts, it also returned to its original state, even the pale temples that were shown in front of Ke Wen just now also turned black again, and the old face also became younger, and then changed back to the appearance of the old.
Such a change, combined with the demonstration of the old 52 Superman, also made Ke Wenming white. Brainiac uses a miniature universe to isolate the old 52 Superman, the remnants of their time, from the destroyed old 52 universe, allowing them to exist as a separate individual in this environment. But the remnant of time itself is a trace of the original body at a certain point in time in the past, and it is not a real flesh-and-blood life.
The laws of life do not work on them, and no matter how prosperous and energetic this earth is, it is just a layer of window paper, which will be broken when stabbed.
"This is really an eye-opener for me, so what do you want me to do when you leave me alone."
Looking at the changes of the old 52 Superman, Ke Wen couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, it turned out that everything could not be changed, he thought that there was a way to take them back to his new universe, or unite those big guys, use the speed force as the standard, open up a parallel timeline, let them coexist with the new 52 universe, in the end, it is just his own reverie.
"What I want to ask you to do, only you, and only you, can do it."
"What?"
When he heard the old 52 Superman talking to him in this tone, Ke Wen was also sitting upright, his heartbeat accelerated, his palms clutched his pants, and cold sweat broke out on the back of his hands. And the old 52 Superman also exhaled lightly, and then said seriously.
"I want you, destroy this world, destroy this universe, let us die completely!"
The words fell, and the entire Hall of Justice became silent with the words of the old 52 Superman, and even the air seemed to stop flowing. After Ke Wen said this sentence from the old 52 Superman, the whole person's brain stopped thinking for a few seconds, and after a long while, looking at the serious face of the old 52 Superman, the whole person stood up, and his emotions were out of control all of a sudden.
"Impossible! You know what you're talking about! This universe, this universe that you exist, is the only thing you rely on for survival, proof that you are still alive, and you let me destroy it?! Why! Why you should do it! Why me! ”
Since he became Kamen Rider, he has not killed in the real sense, and he has adhered to this principle no matter what major incident it is. This is his bottom line, but now, the superman of the old 52 is asking him to destroy this miniature universe, destroy the last trace of the old 52 universe in this universe, he can't do it, and he doesn't understand why he wants to let himself do such a thing.
"You call this state alive?" The palm of the hand was spread out, and the palm that had just been cut by the heat sight and returned to its original state cracked again, revealing the hollow nature inside, and the rhetorical question of the old 52 Superman made Ke Wen not know how to answer.
"The reason why I ask you is because you can only do it, you are special, you are different from him Dick and they can't do it, Wally can't do it, he won't say yes, but you can. Dick they told me that you are a hero who exists in the nascent universe, not in the past, only in this nascent universe, and it is most appropriate and appropriate for you to do this. ”
"Just because it's appropriate, you're going to let me destroy 7 billion lives on Earth? Have you asked anyone else that you don't think it's alive? But this kind of thing is just a matter of freedom in itself, you can cry and laugh, you have your own life, everyone here is like this, then they are living beings, including you, but now you let me destroy all this? Do you know what you're talking about, Superman! ”
Kewen's words stunned the old 52 Superman, and then revealed his unique sunny smile.
"You're still smiling at this time!"
"Ha, it's a good feeling to be told that we are still living people, I know it is difficult for you to accept, so I give you time, if you have time, go for a walk, and then tell me your answer, I don't force it."
Walking forward, the old 52 Superman, who was a head taller than Ke Wen, looked at Ke Wen's young face, he originally wanted to pat Ke Wen's head like an elder, thought about it, patted Ke Wen on the shoulder, and then left straight away, leaving Ke Wen alone, in this empty hall of justice, looking at the statue in a daze.
