Chapter 69: Everything Will Change
On Earth, in the Pacific Rim Seismic Zone, a powerful storm is brewing, and it is the battle between Curwen and the old 52 Wally. The battle between the old 52 Wally, who has the speed of God and part of the power of Dr. Manhattan and became a quantum observer, and Kowen, who has twelve Heisei Kamen Rider main riding belts, shows a powerful power that is enough to change the heavens and the earth, so that the world sees him as a god, this is a god war!
On the overseas battlefields of the United States and the Soviets, the confrontation between Curwen and the old 52 Wally has reached a fever pitch, and the energy condensed by the battle has turned the climate of the small country beneath them into a mess. Even so, the old 52 Wally adopted a delaying attitude in the face of Curwen's stormy attack, just keeping Curwen in this area so that he could not leave.
He was stalling for time, and Curvin knew what the old 52 Wally was doing, but in the face of such an opponent as the old 52 Wally, it was impossible for Curvin to ignore it like this. Even if it is to release the water, it may be that when you turn around, you will suffer a thunderous blow, and no one is better at seizing the moment than the speedy.
And he could also sense that in the distance, in the direction of Moscow, Superman, who had completely stepped into the trap laid for him by Lex and the old 52 Wally, was gradually changing into the appearance he was desperately resisting.
"Are you worried about him, I'm afraid that after all the efforts I have made, it will be useless in the end, and he will eventually become that dictatorial tyrant, and what I have done is just to push on this."
Ke Wen didn't answer, looking at the remnants of time that were differentiated from the old 52 Wally, the speed and strength of the attacks in his hands increased a few points.
Moscow, as the center of the strife of this incident, stimulated by Lex's words, the sanity collapsed Superman finally realized how ridiculous it was that he had done it in the past decade. Especially when he looks at how many innocent victims have appeared in the city because of his non-resistance under the two attacks of Superman II.
Easily catch Superman Two's punch again, and Superman, who is standing there wrestling with Superman Two, looks around. Cries, screams, cries for help, all kinds of voices filled his ears. The blood of the innocent victims was still under his feet, and the smell of blood lingered in his nostrils.
"It's all because of me, I could have easily changed this country, changed the world, but I deceived myself and suppressed this power. And because of suppressing this power, the people who were implicated and died can be said to be my fault, in that case, then it is up to me to be Superman, as always. ”
The powerful force firmly binds Superman II there, after all, it is just an imitation, and the momentary advantage is nothing to Superman. In the distant streets, the people who had been forced to hide in the aftermath of the battle between Superman 2 and Superman poked their heads out. Looking at Superman Two, who was firmly grasped by Superman at this time, surprise, cheers also sounded in Superman's ears.
They admired Superman's strength and angrily denounced the shamelessness of the imitation, while they turned a blind eye to the victims who had been implicated in Superman's previous death because of his previous non-resistance. Most of them can see the cause and effect of this battle, Superman could have changed his flight trajectory when he was knocked away by Superman II, but he didn't.
He could have done this, but he didn't, and it caused such a big loss, but everyone here didn't show a reproachful face to Superman, just admiring his strength, just angry at Superman Two's madness. Even if there is a different voice, Superman will feel that his ten years of hard work are worth it, but unfortunately not.
The human heart in the chest called Somyshka is dying, and the heart belonging to Superman is reviving. Looking at Superman Two, who was trying to break free from his hands and his expression was distorted, Superman just swung his iron fist at him with a blank face.
A simple straight punch struck Superman 2 in the face, and a roar resounded through the street, shattering all the glass on the street. And Superman No. 2, who received Superman's punch, has a face that is somewhat similar to Superman, and it is also a little cracked under Superman's punch.
And Superman 2 also flew directly into the sky under this punch, unable to stop its momentum. In the distance, Lex, who sent Superman II, frowned slightly when he saw the performance of his creation, muttered a sentence and continued to watch the battle between Superman. The figure floated in the air, looking down at these passers-by who were looking up at him, Superman's expression was indifferent, that is, there was no joy, no anger, after glancing at these people, he flew in the direction of Superman 2.
In the direction of the overseas battlefield, Kewen, who was at war with the old 52 Wally, had also been paying attention to the direction of Moscow, and when he saw Superman flying towards Superman 2 in a state of no sorrow and joy, he knew that Superman 2 was finished. And the old 52 Wally, who had also noticed all these changes, also stopped his attack, and his purpose was achieved.
"Do you hear me, Kewen, this is the sound of the gears of time turning forward, you and he have worked so hard, in the end, all it takes is an accident, a foreshadowing, and everything is back to square one. He has returned to his original state, blaming himself for all the faults of the world and human society, and the superman who changed the world with his own will, guess how long that creature can last in his hands? ”
Curvin also stopped his attack and listened to the victory declaration of the old 52 Wally. At this time, through the linked planetary library, he could also perceive the battle taking place in the distance, located in the mountains of the Caucasus. Under a series of stimuli, Superman, who began to abandon his human identity, is beating Superman II created by Lex with an absolute crushing advantage.
Lex, who is remotely controlled, constantly gives orders to his work to destroy Superman, and Superman II is also doing his best to complete this instruction, at this time, Superman II no longer has the appearance of being biased towards humans before, with a strong body that is two heads taller than Superman, knotted muscles, and a deformed face, making him look more like a monster.
Even such a monster, stimulated by Lex, constantly consumes his life and swings his fist at Superman, only to get Superman's indifferent eyes and his body that has not been harmed by his attack.
Standing there, Superman didn't make any attacks except for punching Superman Two here at the beginning, just passively defending and being beaten. And Superman Two, who was constantly consuming his own life and obeying the orders that Lex had rooted in his brain, threw the final punch at Superman with a painful and exhausted expression.
Superman stood there motionless.
And Superman Two's fist also stopped in front of Superman, unable to touch Superman's cheek, his life has come to an end. Perfectly executing Lex's death order, Superman Two, who threw a punch at the enemy in front of him, could no longer throw a punch.
His life, which was born ten years ago, was exhausted under such endless consumption, and in the face of the loss of the enemy's life, Superman had no joy or sorrow, so he indifferently watched Superman II fall, and then slowly walked up to him and looked down at him.
Superman Two, who had come to the end of his life, looked at this existence with his head down and staring at him.
"I feel pain."
"It's inevitable, because you've made a lot of people suffer, and now it's just a matter of paying it back, and the pain that belongs to you will soon pass, so get a good night's sleep."
As Superman's words fell, Superman No. 2, with a painful expression, tilted his head and completely lost his life, and at the same time, his body also collapsed in front of Superman, decomposed, turned into a cloud of dust, and drifted away with the wind. From start to finish, it lasted less than half an hour, watching Superman II die, Superman looked into the distance, belonging to the direction of Lex.
He also knew that Lex knew that he was looking at him, and an indifferent expression appeared on Lex's screen, without even a word of mockery, after a pause of a few seconds, Superman also left from the original place, and ten seconds later, where Curwen and the old 52 Wally were located on the overseas battlefield, Superman's figure appeared here.
With his hands behind his back, he tore open the clouds that Curvin and Old 52 Wally had gathered as a result of the battle, and the sunlight peeked out of the torn clouds. The uneasy soldiers below, the refugees also knelt down and prayed when they saw this figure tearing through the clouds and bringing light back to the earth.
Ignoring the people who knelt down on the earth to pray to him, Superman, who appeared between Curwen and the old 52 Wally, didn't even say a word of foreshadowing, and directly gave the order to the old 52 Wally.
"Take your people, get out of here, I'll only say it once."
Indifferent words, no joy or sadness, Somyshka's feelings as a human began to drain with the return of the identity of Superman. In the face of this person who recalled the nature hidden in his heart, Superman did not express too much resentment.
"They are not my people, I will leave, but this army has their own mission and responsibility, and they need a suitable reason to leave."
Complete his own steps and lead Superman back to the old 52 on the path of the Red Sons With a smug smile, Wally looked at Curwen on the side, the blue light flickered, and disappeared into this battlefield, leaving this official army belonging to the United States here. The vision caused by the battle with Cowen also disappeared, and only Cowen and Superman were left floating in the sky, as well as the Soviet troops below.
"What are you going to do, now."
"Do what I always wanted to do but didn't do, since the essence has been like this from the beginning, then there is not much difference between a little earlier and a little later, and it is time for this country to end the fate of becoming a victim."
With these words, Superman also fell from the sky and began to walk with the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground and praying to him, and at this time, Superman also showed a smile called kindness. Looking at all this, Ke Wen wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from the sky over the country.
Soon, news of Superman's return spread throughout the world through this local war triggered by the two superpowers. Not only as Superman, but also all the information about Superman's human identity as Somyshka has also been exposed, which is also inevitable, Superman's appearance means the disappearance of Somyshka's identity, as long as you have a little brain, you know the connection between the two.
The news of Superman's return was also a bit of mystery, and gave the Soviet authorities a better excuse to describe why Superman was hiding among them in another capacity. Of course, none of this is as convincing as Superman himself telling all this.
Especially when he appeared as a superman on the battlefield where the original Soviet army was losing and retreating, he intervened with great force in this war where the original combat power was completely unbalanced, and changed the direction of this war that had already been decided. Without the intervention of the old 52 Wally, interception, after the intervention of Superman, the ending naturally changed, and the victory belonged to the Soviets.
And this situation took a sharp turn and then the dust settled, from the battle between Superman and Superman Two, and the battle between Curvin and the old 52 Wally, it took less than three hours. When Superman settles everything as a flag of the Soviets and then reappears in front of the camera, Curvin also returns to the clock shop where the old Superman is, and watches the speech belonging to Superman with Dick and Dick, who have returned to their youthful appearance.
"I know you have a lot of questions to ask, why am I leaving, hiding among humanity as a human being, and why am I showing up to end this war. The answer is simple, I have done some things wrong, and I want to make amends, including this war that should never have happened, and from now on, the people of this country will not suffer such things again, this is my guarantee. ”
Looking directly at the camera, Superman said such a thing and left, and the direction he left was Moscow. White House, Lex, who is back here, frowns as he watches Superman in front of the camera say such a thing. Although under the joint setup of him and the old 52 Wally, Superman has once again become the high god, but Superman is not satisfied with what Superman said in front of the camera.
It's not that I'm not dissatisfied with Superman's attitude, I don't need the consent of others at all, I do my own thing, and I have the attitude to practice this right power. It was Superman's words, which were missing a few words in his prediction, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Mr. Luther, what's wrong?"
"No, it should be my perfectionism, I always feel that he didn't say a few words in front of the camera, tsk, sure enough, the wisdom is still not enough, I should have predicted all his every move."
"You will, Mr. Luther, he has become what you have always wanted to beat, and now, you just have to watch him reach the top and then knock him to the dust, and I'm sure you can definitely do it. And I, it's time to leave. ”
Saying a word to Luther, the old 52 Wally, who felt that he had won, was also ready to say goodbye to this ally who had cooperated in this universe for ten years. This made Lex pause, looked at the old 52 Wally, and said after a long pause.
"Leave, yes, you're as powerful as Superman, and that Kamen Rider, I think from the beginning, you've been fighting around Superman. It's your tool, including me, and I'm curious what the point of doing this is. ”
With extraordinary wisdom, in the past ten years with the old 52 Wally, Lex can guess something, just hold it in his heart and don't say it. Since the old 52 Wally was ready to say goodbye to him this time, he didn't mind asking.
"Meaning?"
When Lex asked himself, Old 52 Wally couldn't help but be stunned, preparing to leave the -10 Earth Universe, and began to restart the entire multiverse at the speed of God, he also looked out the window, and was in a daze for a while about the question that Lex asked before he said there.
"Meaning, probably there, everything I do is nothing more than to prove a point, all this is a circle, no matter what you do, how many variables you add, it's nothing more than walking around and returning to the original point. You will exist, and so will I, as always. ”
And in the collective farm in Ukraine, watching this speech that was both familiar and unfamiliar, the old Superman had a smile on his face, and so did Covin. Just when the old 52 Wally looked out the window and said such a thing, Ke Wen, who felt something, also looked at the old 52 Wally from a distance of thousands of miles, and he also gave a different answer to his words.
"Yes, everything is a circle, I do so much, it's nothing more than a walk back to the original point, nothing has changed. But is that really the case? Everything I have experienced in this multiverse has been engraved in the trajectory of the universe, which has not been there before, including your changes, every time you go around, it seems that nothing has changed, but in fact it is a step forward, maybe the first time I didn't get what I wanted, but in the future, in the innovation that keeps moving forward and constantly changing, I will break this cycle! ”
Ke Wen, who is talking in the air, said that in the past ten years, the only thing he has not changed is his determination to break the cycle of the multiverse. As for Old Superman, what he is happy about is this familiar and unfamiliar speech, which is the timeline he has experienced. Although some places have changed, the result is like Superman in the current timeline, and he intervened in this international dispute with his great force, mediating and bringing the country under the protection of the Soviets.
And the strange part is that in this speech, he knew very well what tone he was saying at that time, and what he said at that time was that although tens of thousands of people were sacrificed, it was an acceptable loss for the future peace of this country. This kind of practice and means of measuring gains and losses by life is the appearance that I have hated the most, but Superman on the screen is different.
The indifferent tone, the senseless attitude, but under this mask, there is self-blame, fear, and helplessness. He is himself, and he is not himself, so Old Superman can clearly feel the change.
"It's different." With his hands in his pockets and the unformed dial, Superman said.
As the other three tool people who change back and forth between children and young people, the three of Dick watched Kewen and Old Superman talk to each other, and a question mark slowly rose on their heads~
