When Mason boarded the Atlantean Doomsday Ark, which was as huge as a floating mountain, the old lady was already waiting for him on the side of the ship.

Thomas still looked like he was unapproachable, but Damian beside him was much more relaxed, and the little madman was in an over-the-top posture, leaning over to hold on to his grandfather's sword.

However, seeing that he is quite close to old Thomas, people have to sigh, if you want to have a good relationship with other children, you may only need an ice cream, but if you want to become a friend of Damien, you must at least follow him to charge into battle and cut off a few heads to convince him.

It can only be said that the gap between bear children and bear children is really big.

"Follow me."

The old lady didn't have much time to greet him, so he gestured to Mason and led him to the inside of the ark, and Talia behind wanted to follow but was stopped by Madame Martha.

The clown, who was still wearing paint and makeup, smiled at her little grandson and said to Talia:

"Thomas didn't let you go, so you'd better stay here."

"Yes."

Bane, who was guarding beside him, also whispered to Talia:

"Thomas Wayne is several orders of magnitude more dangerous than Batman, he is decisive and ruthless, true to his morals and undecisive.

He is the kind of Batman that Lei Xiaogu longs to see the most. ”

Seeing that Bane had said this, Talia nodded, not risking any more temptations. But Catwoman next to her naturally followed Mason to the interior of the ark, she didn't want to be too far away from her Mason penis.

The old lady spotted the tail, but he just glanced at it and made no comment.

The group took the Ark elevator all the way down, and soon came to the core area of this doomsday giant.

The corpses had not yet been cleaned up, and the heavily armed undersea warriors were lying on the ground, most of them from gunshot wounds to death, and some of them had been stabbed to death by sharp blades, which looked like Damien's handiwork.

And in the deepest part of this core area, after connecting three mechanical doors, Mason saw Lex Luthor busy on a high platform.

The world's Lybald had stripped off his coat and was wearing only his shirt, rolling up his sleeves and busily in front of a biopod-like device, and judging by the sweat on his shiny head, he must have been here for a long time.

There was also a guy in a deathknell-style armor holding a weapon next to him.

"This is the Atlantean Doomsday Device? It's a little smaller than I thought it would be. ”

Catwoman looked at the surrounding buildings and asked in a low voice, and the old lady nodded, and said in a hoarse tone:

"If Luthor's judgment is correct, this is indeed the case. It's just that this device, which is used to induce devastating consequences, is somewhat incomprehensible. ”

"Thomas! I said don't just bring people to disturb my work! This is not much of a playground. ”

Luther, who was busy on the high platform, scolded viciously:

"The device's danger alert hasn't been lifted, it's still ready to be activated at any time, and I'll need some time to crack the Atlantean security device."

"I brought the professionals."

The old lady said in a calm tone:

"He was also the mastermind and commander of the operation."

Mason didn't take time to say hello either, and the young over-the-top engineer took out his toolbox and strode up to the platform of the Doomsday Weapon under the suspicious gaze of the bald fox.

He glanced around, and some of the modules had been dismantled from the place, and the various components exposed inside were full of futuristic style of undersea technology.

He reached out and touched the tube module that glowed with a cold glow in front of him, and a moment later a message label popped up:

Doomsday Weapon/Atomic Jamming and Stabilization Device

Quality: Epic engineering creations and exquisite craftsmanship

Utility: The Atlanteans did not make it for the purpose of detonating weapons, but instead worked to control the very volatile and dangerous energy that allowed it to explode at the right time.

Item description: Put down the bomb defusal pliers in your hand! It's not a detonator, and tearing it down will only make things worse.

Prompt:

The device has been locked with a special permission [Arthur Curry], which needs to be revoked before proceeding to the next step.

"You're breaking the permission block of this thing?"

Mason withdrew his finger and glanced at the suspicious Lai Bald beside him, and said:

"You should know that this thing is tied to Arthur Curry's life force, and theoretically, no one but the King of the Seven Seas can control it."

"I can't get rid of this permission lock, but I think I can bypass the permission tree and get into the core database, I just need one thread!"

Lex Luthor confidently said:

"I've had a deep understanding of the technology of the undermariners, and I've even prepared jammers to render this doomsday weapon harmless."

"But you don't know what's in there, do you?"

Mason shook his head, stood up, took a long box from his bag, and said to Luther:

"If you knew, you wouldn't try to make it harmless, which is basically impossible."

With that, under the surprised gaze of Luthor and the nearby Deathknell, Mason opened the box and pulled out a severed arm stained with blood from inside and placed it on the console.

After triple confirmation of fingerprints, DNA, and a unique life signal, Mason was granted provisional clearance to raise the sealed Doomsday Weapon Core Module from below.

When the mist with a cold breath flew away, the "decisive weapon" of the seabed people was finally exposed to the eyes of the landers, making everyone's jaws drop at this moment, except for Mason.

"How is this person? Is the doomsday weapon of the undersea man personal? ”

Catwoman stepped forward to look at the tube-like biopod.

Under the restraint of various complex devices, in which lay an unconscious man.

He was housed in the core pod of the Doomsday Weapon, completely sealed off from the outside world.

But this guy is not ordinary at first glance, his skin is blue, and there is a sign of an atom on his forehead.

What's more, except for the head and torso, the rest of his body is in a kind of "quantum state", sometimes turning into an entity but the next moment it will turn into a free energy body and jump back and forth in the biological pod.

Instability visible to the naked eye.

And Luthor took out an energy monitor connected to the interface of this biological cabin with a solemn face, and the thing exploded directly as soon as it was turned on, and it was obvious that the energy fluctuations in this biological cabin had exceeded the upper limit that could be read.

"It's like a living bomb."

Lai Bald wiped the sweat from his forehead, he pinched the smoking monitor, and said to the people around him:

"The kind that can blow up the continental shelf or even half the world with one blow. The existence of this living entity is very unstable, and he is supposed to rely on energy to exist, but these frenzied undersea people have injected him with so much energy that his existence has been completely destroyed.

He was on the verge of death. ”

"I think I've heard of this guy."

Luthor's old hero, Deathbell, looked at the blue-skinned man in the biopod in front of him, and he struggled to recall some of the secret documents he had read, and after a few seconds said:

"He was active in the 90s, nicknamed 'Captain Atom', and worked closely with the military, at one point becoming the leader of the official transhuman team, during which time there were several skirmishes between Atlanteans and the land, and it was said that he accidentally disappeared during the last of the conflicts.

He went to mediate the war, and everyone thought he was dead. ”

Old Knell's explanation made Mason nod, which was what he wanted to say.

As for the character of Captain Atom, just by saying the name of this guy, few people probably know that he is a second-tier or even third-tier character after all, but his other identity is very "prominent" in a sense.

This dude is the prototype of Dr. Manhattan's character.

WHILE BOTH ABILITIES MODIFY REALITY FROM AN ATOMIC LEVEL, CAPTAIN ATOM IS CLEARLY NOT AS BUGGY AS DR. MANHATTAN, AND HIS MOST RECOGNIZABLE TRAIT IS, AS LUTHER PUTS IT, "VERY UNSTABLE."

Because of the serious crises caused by several out-of-control situations, he won the nickname of "Captain Suicide".

With Captain Atom's current state as a "living dead" and the power of the extremely unstable energy in his body when it is disturbed and detonated, it is indeed enough to destroy a continent in an instant, causing a world-class chain disaster.

However, this level of weapons is still a little short of completely destroying a planet.

The old lady didn't care who the person in this jar was, he asked directly:

"Can you disarm the weapon system?"

"No way!"

Luthor and Mason replied in unison, and then the two looked at each other, and Mason made a "please" gesture, handing over the dangerous work of popular science to Lai Bald.

The latter wiped the sweat that continued to secrete from his forehead, and explained briefly:

"As soon as he leaves this stabilization capsule, he will explode immediately, and this level of quantum bombardment to destroy entities is not his primary means of destruction, and I am now worried that his explosion will likely rewrite reality and cause an uncontrollable crisis."

"Don't even think about waking him up."

Mason adds:

"The amount of energy he can hold is beyond the limits of his control, and it's not a matter of willpower that can be solved."

Speaking of this, Mason glanced at the bio-pod next to him that could blow up a continent, he pushed the frame without lenses on the bridge of his nose, shook his head and said:

"And I don't think that's the most critical issue we're facing right now.

With this doomsday weapon pod in our hands already in our hands guaranteeing that it won't explode anytime soon, and the capture of the King of the Seven Seas and the Queen of War marks the end of this great conflict, it's time to get to the heart of the matter. ”

He pointed to the sky and said:

"The countdown to the signs of destruction hidden under the surface of the crisis has not stopped, and the existence that is obviously leading the changes in the world is still waiting for us to move forward and 'meet'."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Old Death Knell looked at Mason with a confused expression, but a gleam flashed in the eyes of Luthor beside him, and he stepped forward to stare at Mason and said:

"Are you referring to the truth over time? You've found out too, right?

This world is not real at all!

We, those of us who are nothing more than marionettes, forced to act out stories on stage that have long been written.

Time and time again, the idiots don't realize what's wrong, they're so immersed in the infighting of each other's destruction that they don't even feel what the problem is.

But I

I can! ”

Lai Bald pulled a crumpled notebook out of his pocket, and he said to Mason:

"According to my calculations, this is already the thirteenth time!"

"What 'thirteenth'?"

The old lady shook her cloak and asked in a gloomy tone:

"Luther, make it clear!"

"Time has changed! Everything evolves! Call it whatever you want to call it, I'm talking about this phenomenon! ”

The young version of Luthor waved his hands like a nerve, and he circled around Mason and said loudly to those around him:

"It's like a program running in a simulated sandbox! It's like a piece of self-changing data! It's been checking! In the air, under the stars, in the reflection of the water, in our eyes and even in our minds!

It's been calculating a problem.

Trying to find the answer again and again in the attempts to change everything, but it can't find it!

The only consequence of each failed calculation in the real world is the collapse of the world and civilization, and then everything is rolled back to a certain point in time after the destruction of the calculation.

Over and over!

We!

Ladies and gentlemen, all of us, and all of the creatures of this world, have been placed in this 'super-sized experiment of social fate'.

We all have our own tasks, and we all need to complete it to ensure that the transition continues. ”

At this time, Lai Bald was like a psychopath, he shouted the secrets that could only be hidden in his heart, and his eyes were fixed on Mason like a madman thirsting for answers.

Mason could even tell from these eyes that Lex Luthor didn't really care much about the truth, he cared about whether his research and conclusions were correct.

What a scientific maniac.

And in the face of his inquiry, Mason shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I can't give you an affirmative answer, Luther, but I will tell you that you are probably the closest person to the truth in the world. But I'm still curious, if you're a program that keeps checking in a sandbox, how do you find out what's out of the box? ”

"I don't know."

Luther replied with a boldly wave of his tattered notebook in his hand:

"I just found my notebook and cracked every previous research I was doing and was interrupted, with twelve very different mathematical models on it.

It took me ten years to crack them one by one and put their conclusions together.

I'm the thirteenth Lex Luthor!

Or you could call me Lex Luthor XIII, I don't care how I found out the truth in the past, I just want to know the final result of this mega experiment now.

Does it represent destruction?

Eternal death, the heat death of the universe or the collapse of the foundation of all things, the distortion of the rules of reality

I know, you can give me an answer!

Mason Cooper.

Outsiders outside the sandbox. ”

He stared at Mason closely, the light in his eyes was almost fanatical and made Mason feel a little uncomfortable, and the catwoman next to him crossed his waist and said:

"Why don't you ask me? Luther, I'm an outsider too, and I've seen the truth. ”

"Just because you've seen it doesn't mean you understand."

Young Luthor was dismissive of his mature big sister, and he said in a sarcastic tone:

"The cow knows that the feeder can bring food, but it definitely doesn't understand the principle of the machine, and I want to build a machine to ask the cows on the farm?"

"So in your eyes, I'm just a pretty monkey, right?"

Catwoman smacked her paws very unhappily, but Mason almost didn't hold back her laughter, saying that the young version of the bald man in front of her was really aggressive, and he spoke venomously.

He took a moment to tell Luthor everything that had happened in the outside world, including the shock, and the latter frowned, but a clever brain was always quick to alleviate the oppression caused by a crisis.

He muttered to himself, picked up a pen and wrote and drew in his notebook, as if setting up a mathematical model to try to explain the connection between the occurrence of the shock and the parallel world system.

"Huh"

Just a dozen seconds after everyone stopped talking about it, a flash of light appeared next to them, and the flash still had a small arc of lightning on his body, which was the embodiment of the speed force left after running quickly.

Xiao Shan didn't care about explaining, grabbed Mason's wrist, and said:

"Time has changed, just now! There was a tremor in the complex network of divine speed force that enveloped the world! The path to the depths of time has been opened.

I don't know if the retroflash spoiled it, but we don't have time!

We had to get in at once.

Whatever is hidden there, it cannot be retrieved by retroflash. ”

"We?"

Mason raised an eyebrow, and he said:

"That's the area built by the Speed Force, Barry, only you can get in, and although I'm also interested in it, I can't reach it."

"You can!"

Barry gritted his teeth and said:

"You can turn yourself into a temporary superman with superhuman blood, can't you? I need this ability of yours, and I will give you the blood mixed with the samples of the speed force.

Do something, Mason!

I've got to drag the backflash through that labyrinth of time, and somebody has to crack the truth.

If I could, I'd certainly like Batman or Da Chao to accompany me.

But now, I can now trust that you are the only one who can choose, and I really shouldn't have said that, but if Bruce trusts you, then I can trust you.

Fast!

There's no time to waste. ”
