Chapter 339 The Reality Of The World
Night Owl is a very determined person. Otherwise, he would not have made up his mind to kill all his relatives just to redirect Gotham City to the right path.
But after he paid such a heavy price, someone now told him:
"Everything you do is meaningless. All the years of hard work, suffering, and countless hard choices you have made are all in vain. Gotham is destined to be like this, dark, dirty, and riddled with crime."
It is conceivable that at the moment his heart must have suffered huge amounts of shock.
From the Mobius chair, he saw that Gotham was like a hell in the human world. It might have had one or two highlight moments worthy of attention at some point, but in the end it was just a flash in the pan.
And Night Owl is this "ephemeral flower". He briefly appeared in Gotham City, bringing an insignificant glimmer of light. In the end, he will die insignificantly like other people who try to make changes in the city. , in the end nothing was left.
——"Just.Nothing!" Night Owl remembered what his old rival Fool once said to him.
His thinking changed as a result.
In the past, the reason why he had gritted his teeth and persisted was simply because he firmly believed that his efforts could bring about real freedom, fairness and justice in Gotham City.
But the Mobius chair told him that he couldn't do it on his own.
Because this world is a world where "good cannot defeat evil", it is like a cancer that is deeply rooted in the entire universe. If this cancer is not removed, he will never be able to get what he wants.
But he still wants to know, is there a way to break through this law-like restriction and give Gotham a glimmer of hope?
The Mobius chair gives the answer. If you don’t have something, you can only take it from others.
They need to participate in a world with the law of "evil triumphs over good" to be able to do it, and such a "690" world must be found in the parallel world.
At this point, Dane has understood that the world with the law of "evil triumphs over good" mentioned by the Mobius Chair should refer to the main world, which is also the starting point of all parallel worlds in DC, and the origin that Night Owl is pursuing in the movie. world.
In the main world, no matter how desperate the situation is, Superman and the Justice League can always make a comeback and rekindle hope.
Dane knows that this is because in the real world, DC Comics can never let the Justice League truly lose, so they can always turn defeat into victory.
But once the comics turn into the real world, this patch becomes a law-like force.
Therefore, the main world always represents the beautiful symbol of those dark parallel universes that are hard to find, and is the projection of the ideal world from the real world.
Except for the main world, the forces of good and evil in other parallel worlds are always in a stalemate. Some worlds are more "good" and some are the opposite.
The world of Night Owl is very unlucky. It is a world where justice cannot defeat evil. Overall, it is only a little better than the dark multi-universe.
Night Owl didn't sit on the Mobius chair for long. When he got the answer he wanted, he got off the chair.
The Metron and Möbius chairs simply disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
Dane was very confused about this guy's motives, but there were no more stories about this guy in Night Owl's memory.
As for Ye Xiao, he began to plot a plan from that day on.
The Mobius Chair claims to be omniscient and omnipotent, which is definitely an exaggeration, but it does give Ye Di some useful knowledge.
For example, when he first saw the magic box, he knew that this thing could be used for space teleportation.
But unfortunately, according to his research, the magic box can only be transported between the universes of matter and antimatter, and cannot move between all parallel worlds without scruples.
But by analogy, Ye Xiao still found the answer to the quantum decorrelation problem by virtue of his own ability. This technology can help him find other parallel worlds.
But his first experiment failed, which is normal. No researcher's first experiment is successful.
However, this failure of Night Owl is unusual because it is strictly caused by The Atom.
Although I haven't said it before, The Atom originally came to help Johnny Quick come to spy on Night Owl.
At that time, the Syndicate had just been established, and members did not trust each other.
In order to grasp the handle of Night Owl, Johnny Quick asked The Atom to quietly follow him to Gotham and enter the laboratory.
But she was inadvertently discovered by Alfred. During the fight, the two activated the quantum starter just made in the laboratory, and were transported to the earth in the positive matter universe together with the magic box that was on the same platform at the time.
However, the time and place they arrived were not consistent. Because the original space function was activated, the magic box was transported to the earth tens of thousands of years ago and was picked up by the Olympus gods of the material universe.
Alfred and The Atom were teleported to the same time and place because they had contact during the fight.
And they are relatively lucky and have been transported to modern society.
When Night Owl learned about this, he almost planned to kill Johnny Quick because his quantum starter had not been debugged.
The Atom's actions not only caused him to lose Alfred, a useful chess piece, but also took away the crucial magic box.
As a result, technical research on parallel worlds had to be temporarily suspended.
It wasn't until Alfred became an outsider and reconnected with Night Owl that he discovered that they had been transported to another parallel earth opposite to theirs.
Ye Xiao immediately revised his plan, and he planned to use the world discovered by outsiders as a preview for himself.
"Hope" is a very abstract concept and cannot be grasped directly like a real thing.
To obtain the "hope" of the main world, the method given by the Mobius Chair is to destroy the main world. As long as the origin world is destroyed, the "hope" thing will automatically be transferred to other worlds.
Dane was very surprised by this method. It was a bug, cheating the protagonist’s halo!
We all know that the DC Comics universe has experienced many reboots, and after decades of development it has become a norm.
Almost every once in a while, the DC universe undergoes a large-scale reboot, and the settings of the DC main world will be rewritten as a result, and some settings that were originally only available in the parallel world will even be added to the new main world. .
But this is an interpretation from a high-dimensional perspective, the view of screenwriters and readers outside the fourth wall.
But for people living in the DC universe, the periodic destruction and restart of the multiverse is a very terrible disaster. People have experienced countless deaths and rebirths without knowing it.
And every time you are reborn, you may become a completely different person from the previous life.
What’s crazy about Night Owl is that he actually tries to use this rule of periodic destruction to reshape the world and even the multi-universe!
He doesn't know that the world he lives in is just a comic book, and it doesn't have the ability to break the fourth wall like Deadpool.
But he still came up with an evil idea to try to influence people outside the fourth wall, a group of comic book writers.
Ye Xiao didn't know that these people were screenwriters or painters, but he knew very well that there was a group of beings controlling the fate of all of them, and the rule of "good overcoming evil" was the law set by this group of beings.
mot!
If the main universe is destroyed, then the DC writers can naturally only restart it again and rewrite the history of the main universe.
And along with it, other parallel universes related to the main universe will also be rewritten as a result.
This is not delusional, because they also have many versions of the universe where the Syndicate is located.
There are all villains, and of course there are less evil syndicates.
Alexander Luthor is a great example.
In the comic version of Evil Eternal, he is a brainless but very powerful Zangza.
But in the animated movie, he is the leader of the Justice League of the World Syndicate.
Therefore, Night Owl's idea is feasible to a certain extent. Even screenwriters in reality often cannot control the characters they write.
But this also raises a new question, that is, if Night Owl's plan succeeds, will the Gotham after rebirth still be his Gotham?
And will he still be the same person after rebirth?
Night Owl's courage to plot against DC writers is indeed admirable, but the success rate is almost zero, because everything he has may have been given by a poor artist or editor, and all his actions may have been unexpected by them. middle.
Even if he is really able to do all this, is it his own wish or an idea of those who live behind the fourth wall?
Under such a thinking dilemma, Ye Xiao fell into the embrace of nihilism. The world is inherently meaningless, no matter who it is.
Ye Xiao saw Dane's changing eyes and smiled slightly.
"You should have seen my memory. I think with your wisdom you should be able to understand my thoughts."
Yes, Dane understands.
Just like Night Owl's suspicion of the entire world, Dane sometimes suspects that he may also be a character in a certain work. His thoughts, his power, and all his experiences may have been arranged.
In this case, what is the meaning of his life?
What's more, although he has never sat on the Mobius chair, he knows more than Nite Owl. He knows that the DC universe is a comic, a movie or a novel.
Since the first day he entered the cave of the Rock of Eternity, he had been doubting the entire world and that his life was set.
This is also the real reason why Lucifer thinks he has no fear, because Dane is indeed not afraid of him.
Now that he already knows that everything is just a setting in the work, God is not noble, but a background character written by a third-rate screenwriter.
After you know all this, will you be afraid of a created virtual character?
Everything is just a shadow in the real world. There is nothing to be afraid of. Dane almost fell into some kind of nihilism.
But in the end, he chose to face life head-on and focus only on the things in front of him, which at least made him live more comfortably.
As long as Truman didn't encounter that searchlight falling from the sky, he could still live a peaceful and happy life on Taoyuan Island.
That's the end of the conversation, Dane has gotten everything he wanted.
"You are a smart man, Thomas Wayne Jr." Dane stood up, "but you have chosen a completely different path than me."
Night Owl smiled lowly and said to Dane's back: "Do you know what I saw at the end when I left that chair?"
Dane turned his head, half of his face hidden in the shadow.
"I saw you..."
Washington, White House.
After experiencing countless inner torments, President Wilson finally relented and hoped to meet with the Justice League, the superhero organization from another world.
At Dane’s call,
All members of the Justice League gathered together, and even the long-lost Plastic Man came back.
The Justice League and their group appeared directly in front of the White House. By the way, the Super Queen was also among them.
This almost led to some misunderstanding, and the White House guards immediately took out their pistols and pointed them at her.
"I don't mind having a warm-up match first." The Super Queen looked at the group of people with a smile, feeling a little itchy.
Dane has no doubt that if he hadn't stood here, the Super Queen would have killed all these soldiers. The Amazons here are not only aggressive, but also easier to kill.
He stopped the Super Queen's imminent move, and the guards of the White House were also uneasy. They did not dare to shoot first, and it was not until Ross Wilson hurriedly arrived that they took advantage of the situation.
Returned the weapon.
"President Wilson is already waiting for you inside, everyone from the Justice League and...Super Queen?"
Ross looked at Louise with an expression of hatred and vigilance on his face.
"Hello, little girl~" The super queen teased her nonchalantly.
When Ross was preaching the threat of the Syndicate all over the world, they had serious discussions within the Syndicate about whether to kill this woman because she was very noisy.
But considering that killing an influential figure like Rose would only lead to more noise, the suggestion was shelved.
Even if she was so lucky, she could still wait until the Justice League arrived in this world.
The Super Queen thought to herself that many villains within the Syndicate had thought of kidnapping her and then ravaging her.
Dane explained to Rose: "She's on our side now."
Ross frowned and secretly cursed the Super Queen for being a faggot.
But she couldn't do anything to this woman, so she could only turn her head and leave.
Justice League followed closely, and this was not Dane's first time entering the White House. The layout of this building did not change much between the two worlds.
Arriving at the president's office, they finally met the one-eyed 0.6 president.
A president like Wilson wearing an eye patch is extremely rare in the history of the United States.
Don't think that people in the United States don't care about this kind of thing. In fact, they also pay great attention to the appearance of politicians. It is indeed magical that someone with obvious disabilities can achieve the high position of president.
work.
The other members of Zhenglian had not heard that President Wilson was the peer of Deathstroke before, so they were all stunned when they first saw the president.
Red Hood even complained: "I thought Penguin was a rebel, which was outrageous. I didn't expect Deathstroke to be the president. No wonder this country is almost hopeless..."
Batman death stare ing…………
President Wilson looked tired, but he still managed to smile professionally.
"Welcome, Justice League, welcome to the world."
He had already gotten some basic information from Ross, so it wasn't surprising to know that Zheng Lian came from another world.
And he knew more than that.
"First of all, I'm sorry for the trouble our world has brought to you, but I believe you have also seen that there is really nothing we can do about the Syndicate."
When President Wilson said this, he was very unwilling and helpless, but he could no longer hold on.
The loss of the quantum true bomb was a major dereliction of duty on his part. He must solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause a bigger problem.
Who knows what irrational things the Syndicate will do with this bomb.
Dane said: "We are here to solve this incident. We have arrested several of the more difficult members of the Syndicate and are preparing to solve the remaining ones.
But before that, I need to ask, what is the situation with the quantum bomb? Can the enemy detonate it at any time?"
