Chapter Eighty-Five: The Rolling Gears

The moment Cowen hit Brainiac with a knight kick, Breniac also gave up resistance, and from the time of containing the remnants of the old 52 universe to the present, he could no longer distinguish which actions were made by the calculations of his perfect intelligent brain, and which ones came from his own heart. And every question from Kewen made him not know how to answer, he just felt that he was tired.

As an immortal, perfectly intelligent AI that survived the reboot of the old 52 universe unharmed, Brainiac also feels tired? Thinking of this, Brainiak, who was hit by Cowen's kick, also had a funny thought, and with the infusion of Cowen's power, Brainiak could feel that the CPU as his center began to fluctuate.

The unresolvable energy began to run around in his body, constantly paralyzing every part of his body, according to his understanding of intelligent life, this was his journey towards death, and he could only do this with the help of the power that all the members of the old 52 Justice League finally entrusted to Curwen. He accepted the ending, and perhaps dying like that was the best option for him.

As a burst of electricity swept through the CPU located in the center of his skull, Breniac also completely stopped functioning, all functions disappeared, and an overloaded sound sounded at the position of his skull, and Breniac also felt the endless darkness rushing towards him, drowning him.

His mind was completely asleep, as it had been when he was first born, not knowing what he was, why he existed, and what the task was that was rooted in his program. Until he has a vision, sees those beings who have created themselves, and so on, am I not dead, how can I still have such memories like a marquee?

Breniac, who was immersed in the past, suddenly reacted, this seemed to be different from the death he understood, and he opened his eyes at this time in the darkness in front of him, only to find that he was in a white space, and he also stood up in this incomprehensible situation lying on the ground. Looking down at his body, he noticed the difference.

At this time, he was wearing the clothes of civilization that he had created, and his body was no longer a cold machine, but a flesh-and-blood body, and this strange phenomenon and the strange space where it was located made Brainiac not understand, because he found that he was no longer the perfect intelligent artificial intelligence, and that omniscient thinking ability was gone.

"We've been thinking about what it would be like if you were a real life, and the way it looks now, it looks pretty good."

Just as Brainiac was surprised by his strange change, a familiar voice sounded behind him. Turning his head suddenly, Brainiac saw the familiar man. The familiar red cape, the familiar shorts, and the logo and kind smile, the white temples and some vicissitudes of life made him look more amiable.

"Superman?"

"yes, this is the second time we've really had a face-to-face conversation."

Appearing in this space is none other than the old 52 Superman, who has vanished. In the tone of an old friend, he greeted Brainiac who had changed.

"Yes, the real meaning of face-to-face," Brainiac sighed as he watched the appearance of the old 52 Superman, and then pointed to the space where he was, and then asked, "What do you do?" โ€

"Almost, let's go?"

Nodding, the old 52 Superman also walked up to Brainiac and invited him.

"Okay, let's go."

There was no refusal, the two of them walked around at will in this directionless, boundless space, and they didn't know where they could go anyway. And as they paced, pictures also appeared in this space, which belonged to the experience of Brainiac and the old 52 Justice League fighting again and again, looking at these pictures, the old 52 Superman and Brainiac couldn't help but show a nostalgic expression.

It was a trace that belonged to them, a trace of their existence in this multiverse, but it was all gone.

"Actually, when you locked us in the miniature universe and took Lex away, we knew very well what you wanted to do, but at that time, we had too many concerns to stop it, and we didn't have the qualifications to stop you, so we kept waiting, waiting for the person who stopped you to appear, so that we could die safely and at the same time, we could also stop you and help you."

"Help me?" Brainiac was stunned by the words of the old 52 Superman, and was silent for a while before continuing: "Actually, I haven't understood until now, why do you accept such an ending with such peace of mind, erase you without any reason, and become the cornerstone of the new universe, but you didn't think about resisting, so calmly accept this fate arrangement, and even mess with me." โ€

Speaking of which, Brainiac is also full of resentment, this matter can't be passed on anyone, I am busy with life and death to resurrect you, and the villain is gone. As a result, you guys are good, just give me a righteous backstab, and by the way, I also cut off my power and ask someone else to me, if it weren't for Lao Tzu being an artificial intelligence, he would have been angry to death with this set of backstabs.

"We didn't accept this fate calmly, we just gave the opportunity to resist to the people of the next universe." Regarding Brainiac's resentment, the old 52 Superman also sighed and explained.

"I'm sure you've also noticed that the entire multiverse we are in, the entire multiverse wrapped by the Wall of Origin, is constantly repeating this process, it's not that we don't want to resist, but we who were born based on this entire multiverse have not resisted the capital of this reboot from the beginning, that teenager, he is the key. As an outsider, he has different characteristics, cannot be affected by the multiverse, and at the same time, can also affect the entire multiverse, which is why we entrust this power to him. โ€

"But he seems to have used this power to beat me."

As for the old 52 Superman's statement, Brainiac also accepted, but also complained there.

Speaking of which, the old 52 Superman was also embarrassed to scratch his head.

"There's no way around it, we're all remnants of time, and there's only so much power we can entrust, it's all a one-time use version, and I asked him to give you a heart, so I can only let him beat you."

"Hehe, then I thank you."

Responding to the big truth of the old 52 Superman, Brainiac only felt aggrieved.

"What are you polite to me~"

A wave of depression welled up in his heart, and Brainiac only felt his anger burning, making him want to paste the kryptonite fist glove on the face of the old 52 Superman. But based on his current state, this idea can only be abandoned. The words of conversation fell silent at this moment, and it was a long time before Brainiac sighed.

"But so what, you entrusted his power to him and ended everything you have, maybe he can really do it, in the future, completely break the cycle with this multiverse, but you are no longer there. No matter how good the future is, what does it have to do with you? โ€

"That's why I say, over the years of resurrecting us from the remnants of time, you've become more and more like a real being, Brignac."

For Brainiac's feelings, the old 52 Superman also smiled heartily, if they couldn't even see through this at the beginning, they wouldn't let Kewen erase them. Taking a step, he walked up to Brainiac and pointed to his head and then to his heart.

"Are we really gone? As the eternal life, aren't you always here, and this is what you remember us? You still remember, so how can we say that we are not there? โ€

Brainiac was stunned, just looking at the old 52 Superman in front of him, and in front of him, the old 52 Superman stood there like this, looking at him with a smile, and beside him, figures appeared. Old 52's Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman... One by one, superheroes who had fought, gambled, and cooperated with him in the past years all appeared in front of him.

They all looked at him with a smile like the old 52 Superman.

"It's all said, don't dwell on the past, we can all let go of the past and hand it over to the future, as you who have existed with us, you should witness the future, all of us here, only you are the only one who really survived."

"If you don't want us to die like this, just live, remember us, and help us see what the future looks like when the cycle is broken. Everything will pass away eventually, but as an eternal life, you are better able to witness the whole process from birth to death, don't be like the universe we are in, the progress bar is cut directly, fast forward to the end, isn't this viewing experience very bad? โ€

"It's enough for you to remember us, at least to prove that our passing is not meaningless."

"Maybe you can still make a civilization, huh... Yes, I see, you are the leader of the Transformers, the Emperor of the Universe! โ€

"It's not that I said, I can see through a ninth-level wisdom, why did you drill the tip of the horns of a twelveth-level perfect wisdom, so shaft? You're giving me a low rating! โ€

Everyone was there saying their own words, entrusting their power to Curvin, and they didn't really say goodbye to this universe, and in this space, they told Brainiac everything they wanted to say. There is no resentment, no anger, only a peace for the past, care for old acquaintances, greetings.

Wet, warm liquid slid down his cheeks, looking at everyone here, Brainiac was also surprised by his current situation, is this called sadness and joy, and tears, shouldn't he be a leak of engine oil as a robot? But none of this is important, and at this time, Brainiac can be regarded as completely letting go of his obsession with the old 52 universe and walking out of it.

And the figures of the old 52 people who met Brainiac here also began to slowly become illusory.

"Goodbye, old friend."

With such words, the Justice League of the old 52 universe also completely disappeared in front of Brainiac, and the white space also turned into darkness, swallowing Brainiac. In reality, Cowen's knightly kick also passed over Brainiac's head and fell. In the back, unscathed, Breniac, who had resumed working again after the silent CPU, also regained his sight and sat down on his knees weakly.

"Goodbye, old friends."

Brainiac, who completed a farewell, did not have the same state as before, let go of his obsession, and said goodbye to everyone in the old 52 universe, and he no longer fought with Cowen.

And the same is true for Ke Wen, the cards on his body have dissipated, and this limited form of the theatrical version that can only be transformed thanks to the power of the old 52 Universe Justice League has also reached the end stage. The power entrusted to Ke Wen dissipated, allowing him to return to his original form, lifting the transformation, holding the card with the old 52 Justice League Seven Elders in his hand, and watching the image on it slowly disappear, leaving only the outline.

On the back of the card, the word P52 also erased the P, turning it into an ordinary card. But Kewen knows very well that this is a bond, maybe one day in the future, this card will be tied to the justice league of the new 52 universe, so that he can have a god form that belongs to the DC universe, but if he can, Kewen still doesn't want this day to come.

Putting the card back in the knight's card box, he looked at the sky and said, "Commission, done." โ€

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

At the junction of the light and dark multiverses, a brain-shaped spaceship the size of a city is parked, and it is a ship belonging to Brainiac. Although Curvin used the power of the old 52 Justice League to disassemble the planet-sized spaceship into parts, for Brainiac, as long as these parts are not completely destroyed, with Brainiac's ability, it is not a problem to reassemble it at all.

And above the head of this huge spaceship, a time train stopped there, and the three Dicks who were dug up by Curwen were also there to discuss the cause and effect of the whole thing with Curwen.

"Are you sure you just leave like that, and don't leave him behind or something? Also, is it really okay to leave this guy here? โ€

Pointing to the -10 universe Lex Luthor, who was tinkering inside the spaceship at this time, Dick always felt a pimple in his heart. He knew Lex's wisdom clearly, and he threw one Lex to Brainac, and the two bald heads teamed up to destroy the universe without just talking.

"Otherwise, without that strength, the four of us are not enough to be beaten by others, not to mention that the three of you were directly seconded, and then it wasn't me who beat two and then was beaten by the group. And that's fine, there is no superman in the -10 universe anymore, so there is no need for Lex, his existence itself is another god who breaks the balance, so let that universe develop in a new state. โ€

For Dick's worries, Kewen has no choice, Brainiac can even knock off the line in his own system, and he will go back to make up for it, without the power of the old 52 Justice League, even if he is idealistic, he will be slapped to death by a tentacle. It's better to be like now, it's good to get together and disperse, you let go of your obsession to find the truth of the entire multiverse, I'll go back to my main universe, you have to do it again, and I'll also call someone to come and start a group.

As for the -10 universe of Lex, Kewen also thinks this is good, the red son Superman is the descendant of Lex, and now the red son Superman is gone, and the -10 universe of Lex has also disappeared, after the two elements that make up the -10 universe earth are separated, no one can say in what direction the earth of the -10 universe will change, but it is not sure that it is the best.

was complained by Ke Wen about the performance of the three of them before, and Dick couldn't go on anymore, this is also a helpless thing, these people have all filed cases with Brainiac, fighting in Brainiac's body, or filing personnel, it is really not too easy for people to overturn themselves, that is, Ke Wen, a guy who can't file a record, can be so moisturized.

Just as the four of them were complaining to each other, the body controlled by Brainiac also emerged from the surface of the spaceship, looking at Curvin and them. As soon as Brainiac appeared, the four of them stopped talking nonsense, but just turned their heads to look at him.

"You're going back to the main universe, aren't you?"

"Yes, how long has it been since they came out, although the time flow rate of the multiverse is different, but for us, it has been a long time, we have to adjust our mentality and adapt when we go back, so we can leave early and feel at ease. It's you, what do you do next? โ€

For Brainiac's inquiry, Kewen had nothing to hide, and said it calmly.

"Do my job, watch this nascent multiverse unfold as a spectator, and find the source."

"The source? Don't think about it. โ€

As soon as he heard Brainiac say this, Kewen couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, the source of the multiverse, isn't the source of the multiverse the supreme god, people created the multiverse, including you, you guy want to die?

"It's not as exaggerated as you think, I don't plan to die, I'm talking about this nascent multiverse, this nascent multiverse was born on the basis of the old universe, but something is different, I have to find out, and I always feel that the destruction of the old universe is a little strange."

"Strange?"

"Well, it's just a feeling."

Brainiac's uncertain tone made Curvin stunned for a moment, and then laughed as well.

"You don't look like a perfectly intelligent creature right now."

"Perfection is also a form of imperfection," after a philosophical remark, Brainiac shifted gear, "You said you were going to break this deadlock, Kamen Rider Covin." โ€

"Haven't I been doing this all along?"

"Well, please persevere, I hope to be a true witness to the whole moment of this new universe from birth to death, and then, I will keep you in my mind."

"Yes, so, it's time to say goodbye, right?"

With a wave of his hand, without much of a pleasantry, Curvin urged Dick and the three of them to get on the time tram and prepare to say goodbye to Brainiac.

Looking at the back of Coven's dashing departure, Brainiac groaned a little and stopped him.

"Be careful."

"Be careful of what?"

"While it's still unclear how you, as an ordinary person, managed to disrupt the entire multiverse, I can be sure that the plots you see from the real world don't apply to this universe anymore. What you're triggering now is another flashpoint paradox, and it's a constant flashpoint paradox that will affect the entire multiverse, everyone, and I just hope that when the time comes, you'll be able to stick to what you think now. โ€

"Received, gone, get in touch."

Finally, with a wave of his hand, the time tram that stopped on the Bright Spaceship also followed the trajectory of the universe and headed in the direction of the main universe and home. Brainiac watched the tram disappear from his eyes, and then his body sank into the spaceship, and together with Lex from the -10 universe, he controlled the spaceship and left in another direction.

Inside the time tram, the four of Kewen sat there, looking out the window, and the self-guided time tram would take them back to their own main universe, and they did not need to be manually controlled. And the four of them were also thinking about Brainiac's last words before parting, not only to Curvin, but also to Dick in the tram.

"Are you scared?" After a moment of silence, Dick said suddenly.

"How can I not be afraid, but I am afraid and can't solve the problem, is it possible that I have given up now, and everything can return to the original starting point? Why don't we sacrifice Wally? โ€

Regarding Dick's question, Ke Wen also responded with a kind of ridicule, and he could only use this tone to hide the panic in his heart. Brainiac's admonition wasn't unfounded, at least as evidenced by the fact that he chased the old 52 Wally to the -10 universe of the dark multiverse, as well as the changes to the old 52 Wally.

"After all, make trouble, don't make fun of us speeders, you're also speeders yourself, why don't you sacrifice yourself! Hey, Connor, you have a word! โ€

When it came to worshipping the sky, Wally, as a member of the Worship Heaven family, was also directly anxious and lodged a strong protest. At the same time, Conner, who was looking at the photos of himself and his girlfriend in a daze, went into the water. As soon as he looked up, Connor saw the three of Kewen staring at him, and he was stunned for a long time before he said with a sincere smile.

"I don't know what will change in the future, I just know that going home now is the most important thing, with family and friends by my side, I am not afraid of anything."

After finishing speaking, the three of them had no intention of ridiculing, and after sighing with emotion, they also recognized Connor's words.

"yes, there's nothing to be afraid of with you guys around, I've missed all the food in my hometown."

With Connor's thumbs up, Brainac's advice came to an end for the time being, and the train carrying Curwen and their time tram also traveled through multiple parallel universes, returning to the main universe where it all began, the main universe they left. And on the time flow rate panel displayed next to it, it also shows the time that has passed in the main universe at this time, ten months, which is not much, but not too little.

'Woooooooooo โ€™

As the whistle of the tram pit stopped, the multiverse journey of chasing the old 52 Wally from the main universe with the four of Curwen set off from the main universe, and after ten months had passed in the main universe, the journey ended and returned to the universe where they were.

But as Brainiac says, everything Corvin is doing now is setting off an ongoing flashpoint paradox that affects everyone, as well as future events. Just as Kewen and the others returned to the main universe, the impact of their multiverse journey was like a stone thrown into the water of a lake, and the ripples were affecting the two multiverses of light and darkness.
