Chapter 462: Secrets of the Past (Part II)

"Doom Day, that's a weird name, isn't it?"

"Literally, the day he appears will be the day of the destruction of the entire earth and even the entire universe."

Bruce and Lex felt their hearts stop beating for a moment, especially Bruce, and after he walked over, he looked straight into Schiller's eyes and said, "You can't help it?" ”

"I'm not sure." Schiller gave an ambiguous answer, but Bruce was clearly not happy with the answer, but he didn't ask again, because he wasn't a man who pinned his hopes on someone else.

"What is his weakness?"

"I don't know, maybe there's no weakness." Schiller gave another desperate answer, but at this time, Clark's calm and resolute voice sounded:

"Impossible, everything that exists in this world must have weaknesses, maybe I can deal with him......"

"Maybe you can kill him once, but when he reappears, the weakness of the first time is gone."

"Will he evolve?" Bruce instinctively grasped the key in Schiller's words.

"Yes, but ......," Schiller said in a deliberate long note, and all eyes were on him, "but it seems that someone has already offered a solution." ”

As he spoke, he moved closer and looked at the egg.

The shell of this egg is opaque, so you can't see what's inside, but you can see that the whole egg is vibrating slightly, and it seems to have a heartbeat, but it's beating very slowly.

"Does kryptonite affect it?" Schiller muttered to himself, looking up at the strange devices that emitted kryptonite light, and said, "...... What kind of formation is this? ”

"Looks like someone has sealed this egg somehow?" Lex stepped forward, his mind thinking, followed by Bruce, his eyes solemn but also containing a hint of curiosity.

"It's not as dangerous as I described, because the monster hasn't hatched yet, and someone has already found a way to suppress the egg."

"But he'll hatch eventually, right?"

Schiller looked at Bruce with a scrutinizing gaze as he recalled a law of the DC universe.

All the universes of DC are divided into light and darkness, and in the dark universe, everything is unstoppably sliding downward, that is, all bad things are bound to happen.

If this is a dark universe, then this egg may hatch soon, but before, the laughing egg in Bruce's body not only did not hatch, but was also killed by Schiller using the righteous group beating method, and was finally listed by the parallax monster.

This shows that the probability that this universe is a dark universe is not very large, but in the light universe, there may not be a strong villain.

Doom Day, in fact, is Superman's nemesis, and in the famous comics of Superman's Death, it is he who kills Superman.

The comic "The Death of Superman" has a more complex historical background, at that time, DC was not doing well, and they needed some gimmicks to attract more fans to buy their comics, so they planned to bring disaster to one of their most famous superheroes, that is, Superman.

In order to create enough gimmicks, this comic is named "Superman's Death", in order to achieve the purpose of killing Superman, Doom Day is set to be very strong, defeating the Justice League except Superman with one hand, and even pulling the running Flash out of the speed force.

After running to the Apocalypse Star, he ate a Dermace Ray and did not die, and later developed the ability to destroy the Sun spores, and finally infected Superman, creating the Destruction Day Superman.

In short, it's a strong outrageous villain, like all villains made in a hurry, although the ability is not set reasonably. However, the background setting is about the same as nothing.

Schiller thought, it seems that the origin story of Doomsday in this universe is somewhat complicated, and it is not the product of the hand slip of Kryptonian scientists.

In the comics, when Doom Day appears, he is already a complete body, and the complete Doom Day is not completely invincible, Schiller has some ways to defeat him or seal him, but because in the comics, Doom Sun is often resurrected and does not seem to be completely dead, so Schiller has no confidence that he can completely kill him.

However, the Day of Doom that is now appearing here is an egg, which makes Schiller have some other ideas.

At this time, Bruce noticed some details, he walked to the wall of this underground cavity, reached out and touched the slightly moist rock, and said: "Judging by the state of the rock, this place must have been excavated decades ago, at least twenty or thirty years ago......"

He said to himself, "What the hell happened then? ”

"So, what happened after that?" In the hallway of the manor, Kayla looked at Alfred and asked.

"When I learned that the force called the Owl Court might want to create a terrible monster to rule the whole of Gotham, I had to consider the dangers of this monster."

"If an uncontrolled super monster is created, it may not only threaten the United States, but also all the humans living on the planet, and those crazy people can not care, but I can't."

"So, I went to Falcone and told him what I was going to do, and at first he didn't want to believe me, but he had no other choice......"

"Why?"

"Because, in Gotham, people who can do equations are considered a rare species, and I graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in mathematics......"

Kayla was silent, thinking of what she had seen and heard in Gotham, and felt that Alfred was not exaggerating.

"Of course, there is another reason, although Falcone and Daniel are aware of all this, they have very few sources of intelligence, because they are not professional agents, and they can't get much information at all, and at that time, they didn't even know the name of the Owl Court."

"And I'm a professional agent who can investigate this for them, so the three of us came to an agreement and worked together, and eventually, we made some trouble, but we still got the egg."

"Oh, I remember, the dossier says that there seemed to be a lot of vicious incidents in Gotham during that time, and the FBI went to investigate, but it also lost a lot of manpower, and some of them also got a glimpse of some mysterious phenomena, so this eucalyptus spread more and more mysterious......"

"Yes, that gang is not easy to deal with, and we have paid a lot of price, and because of this, Falcone is determined not to allow this egg to be sealed in Gotham, because Gotham is his territory."

"So you chose Metropolis?"

"This egg has been in our hands for a long time, and we have not been able to find a reasonable way to deal with it."

By that time, the limelight had passed, and I could have left to return to Moscow, but at that moment, news came from Moscow that Kim Philby had escaped and that he himself had returned to Moscow. ”

"Although I have some knowledge of MI6's style, it is still beyond my expectations, and it is clear that since Philby himself has managed to get out, this list is not so important to Moscow, and there is no need to travel across the ocean to bring it back."

"However, this list is still very important to other countries, because if the Soviet Union has it, they must also have it, otherwise they will always be one step behind, so the news of Philby's exit not only does not reduce the importance of the list in the eyes of other countries, on the contrary, they are even more crazy to find out where the list is, to obtain the same information as the Soviet Union."

"The Soviet Union didn't need it, but other countries needed it, so the best way was to find a place to hide it, so I hid it in Gotham, and after this limelight passed, I went back to Moscow and looked for a way to solve that egg, but ......"

"Eventually, I returned to the UK."

"About a dozen years later, my father asked me to succeed as hereditary steward and go to the Wayne family to be their steward, at that time. I told Moscow the news, and they thought it was a great opportunity, after all, the Waynes are the richest families on the East Coast and even in the United States......"

"So, in the beginning, you were on a sleeper mission in the Wayne family?"

"That's right, though, something happened and Mr. and Mrs. Wayne died." Alfred's expression was a little sad, and he said, "The young master is the only one left, and I have to raise him." ”

"At that point, I was already planning to give up my career as an agent."

Kayla nodded in understanding, she said, "A lot of people think that agents should always be loyal to their goals, but we are human beings and have feelings, and we are not machines to complete tasks......"

Alfred shook his head and said, "My affection for the young master is not exactly the reason why I want to give up my career as an agent......"

"And what's the reason?"

Alfred was silent, his expression showing a hint of hesitation, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not, but in the end, he said, "You're still young and haven't been through much, so you can't feel the change in her......"

"Who?"

"Soviet."

Kayla wanted to ask, but Alfred chose to keep silent, and after a moment of silence, Alfred spoke again, his voice no longer so neutral, but revealing his old age.

"Perhaps, I'm a shameful deserter, or maybe I'm just not willing to face some cruel truth."

"Or maybe it's because I know I can't keep my sanity in the face of those great ideals and glorious years......"

"But in the end, I chose to say goodbye to the past once and for all."

"When I returned to Gotham to become the steward of the Wayne family, Falcone told me that they had properly disposed of the egg, and I don't know exactly how it happened, but eventually, the egg was placed in the ground of the Metropolitan Manor."

"Falcone told me that at first, they just found a place outside of Gotham and put this egg there, but then they found a falling alien mineral that seemed to be able to suppress the life activity of the egg very well, so they transformed it into a giant seal."

Kayla frowned and asked, "Is this seal strong?" ”

"It can only be said that the time for the monster to hatch can be postponed, and we still don't have a clue how to destroy this monster."

Alfred put his shotgun down and pressed it to the ground with the muzzle, he looked out the window and said, "That's one of the reasons why I'm here for Bruce." ”

"I saw the professor's name in the guest list you gave me, and I knew that he was not an ordinary man, and that he was capable of keeping everyone safe, and that Bruce was raised by me, and I knew what an amazing intelligence he had......"

"If there is only one way in this world to crack the secret of this mysterious monster and destroy it, I believe that the combination of these two will be the best answer."

At this time, Schiller, who was meditating in the underground cavern, heard the voice of gray mist in his head:

"Rice! What a meal! Dine! ”

"Rice? Where does the rice come from? Schiller asked, confused.

"Green stones, so fragrant! Let me take a bite! ”

"Green stone ......" Schiller turned his head to look at the nearest kryptonite device, and asked in surprise:

"You eat kryptonite ???"

"Hmmm! It smells delicious! ”

"Why didn't you say that you were out there before?"

"That's not delicious, only here is delicious!"

"But the kryptonite here wants to seal this egg ......"

"I'm hungry! I've been hungry for a long time! I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat! ”

Bruce, who was studying the rock formations nearby, noticed that the way Schiller looked at the egg suddenly became a little strange.
