Chapter 193: Not Replicable
"That's the end of the happy hour."
The DJ booth is prominently high, and Damian, despite his small stature, stands there to make him visible to all the teenage superheroes.
At his command, the lights in the hall were turned on, and the famous DJ hired by the high salary also turned off the music, and the hall suddenly fell silent, except for Damian's voice.
"It's unknown whether we'll be able to get together next time and have as much fun as we do today."
The bald boy said in a serious tone: "Our universe is about to usher in a full-scale war, if we don't rise up to fight, many people will die, and the rest will live in infinite fear, and our universe will eventually be smelted into a fear essence by the world melting furnace and swallowed by the demon master of the dark dimension!" ”
"What?"
"How is it possible, the Justice League has not received any disaster warning information."
"Are you kidding? This joke is not funny at all! ”
"Tsk, it's an old-fashioned catastrophe again, has our earth experienced fewer catastrophes? The sky is falling, anyway, there are uncles and aunts on top, what does it have to do with us. ”
……
The teenagers in the audience exchanged words and talked about each other, if Damian said the same thing to adult superheroes, even if they didn't believe it, they would take it seriously to investigate, but saying it to this group of half-grown children who have never taken the responsibility of protecting the world is tantamount to playing the piano to the cow, and it can't arouse their attention at all.
Although he had long expected that the teenagers were unreliable, Damian did not expect them to be so big-hearted and not take his words seriously at all, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while, and he didn't know how to convince them to believe it.
Fortunately, there were also aspiring young people like Nightwing Dick Grayson who came to the party, and Nightwing, who has graduated from college, is not as heartless as those half-grown children, he knows very well that Damian is young but very reliable in his words and actions, and will not joke about the big things and wrongs.
"Damian, what the hell is going on?" Dick picked up the conversation in a loud voice and helped Damian sing the play: "Is the seal of the Three Palace Demons broken?" ”
In his impression, the demon king who can cause the destruction of the world is the Sangong Demon sealed by the Young Titan's team before, and that is also the greatest achievement of the Young Titan.
"What I'm talking about is an existence that is countless times more terrifying than the Three Palace Demons, the Three Palace Demons have at least a nemesis, and those who are restrained by the ravens are dead, as long as the ravens are willing to make a move, they can easily defeat."
Damian hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said in a deep voice: "And the nemesis of that demon king is the illusory concept of 'courage', it will not be defeated by a specific person, only the positive emotions of 'courage' in the world far exceed the negative emotions of 'fear' he collects, and he will show his defeat!" That's why I'm calling you all together – in my opinion, the courage of teenage superheroes is the purest thing, and only when we unite can we change the fate of the Earth being dragged into the dark dimension. ”
Damian, who once broke through the fourth wall, spied on the scene of Barbatos' defeat, on the surface, Barbatos was defeated by the core members of the Justice League who had opened the halo and turned into a Saint Seiya with "metal", but this is only the appearance of the rules of the world.
In the confrontation at the level of world rules, the only way to defeat the "concept" is to rely on another "concept" that is equal to it, and the defeat of Barbatos in the original plot is very anticlimactic, and it seems to be the victory of the protagonist's aura, which is extremely disappointing to countless observers outside the four walls.
In fact, what the creators of the Supreme Being World wanted to convey was the courage of the superheroes and supercriminals of all over the planet to unite and unquenchable even when the situation was so bad that Barbatos was finally defeated.
However, what the final battle showed was that a few members of the Justice League took shit luck to get the key props that could kill the boss, and when they got the task items, they began to destroy the plot to kill, this kind of victory is both old-fashioned and boring, and the climax of the plot is anticlimactic, so that the observers outside the fourth wall are still chewing wax, and they are quite awkward to watch, and they feel very uncomfortable.
The most critical bug is that since the metal that defeats Barbatos is "contained in every bit of matter, every living person, and the content is extremely small", then how can the courage and power of a few core protagonists perfectly manipulate metal to defeat Barbatos's fear power?
Barbatos's fear power comes from the wails of countless people in the Dark Infinite Universe in wars and disasters, and it is formed by the convergence of countless people's fears, which is an extremely huge emotional force, but compared to the courage of a few core members of the Justice League, it is not completely incapable of confrontation.
In the war with Barbatos, there is no picture of the people being inspired and regaining their courage, which is a bit of a disdain to the masses, so what else do the superheroes need the people to do, anyway, the power of countless people gathered together is not as good as just seven people, and the wailing and incompetent people can only be used as a background board, highlighting the glorious and fearless image of the heroes.
"Metal" is obviously the power of all things, but it is played by a few elites at the top, and protecting the people is just a pretext to find a reason for the existence and behavior of the heroes, and the core values expressed seem to reflect the essence of the "democratic" system of the Hope Country.
Damian is not an angry young man, he has to promote something, the reason why he gathered the teenagers is to use these brave teenagers to create miracles, and the way to create miracles is to show all the multiverses pictures of their battles and even heroic sacrifices, so as to inspire the beings of the multiverse.
There is nothing more inspiring than watching women and children charge at a strong enemy, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, the children have the courage to sacrifice and rush to the front line, even if the adults are mortals, what face does they have to hide behind the children and tremble?
It can be said that Damian is definitely not at ease, and wants to sacrifice these children to the god of courage in exchange for the blessing of the power of the concept of courage in the whole multiverse, so as to manipulate the metal that constructs all living beings and defeat Barbatos, the embodiment of fear, in one fell swoop.
He did this, not because he refused to copy the original plot of the Justice League to defeat Barbatos because of the contradiction of values, as a pragmatist, whether it is a white cat or a black cat, if he can catch mice, he is a good cat, if he can learn from the successful experience of the Justice League to win, he will definitely run to kneel and lick the protagonists of the Justice League to give them as dogs, and provide all the help he can.
The problem is that the victory in the original plot is something he can't replicate, and maybe even this universe can't replicate, because he doesn't know if the universe he is in is the multiverse in the original plot, or it is possible that his universe is just one of the countless cannon fodder parallel universes that Barbatos was casually crushed and destroyed by the Dark Knights before he invaded the original plot universe.
The infinite multiverse has an infinite number of Justice League protagonist teams, and the protagonist group of Damien's universe is not necessarily the "real" protagonist group that defeated Barbatos.
Due to the existence of the multiverse, there is a situation where even if you are the protagonist, you may not be the real protagonist.
With this in mind, Damian decided to defeat Barbatos in his own way, rather than hastily copying the problematic victory in the original story.
