Happy New Year
In the office, just after getting the information about the towering giant tree that suddenly grew in Antarctica from Clark, Ke Wen just returned home and saw Brainiac as an unexpected visitor. As a powerful existence that has not been affected by the restart of the old 52 universe era, Ke Wen relied on the remnants of the old 52 Justice League in Brainiac's spaceship to successfully defeat the opponent and let the opponent put down the idea of restarting the old 52 universe era. The obsession, after that, Brainiac wandered in the universe.
Ke Wen didn't expect his appearance, but looking down at the tablet in his hand, Ke Wen seemed to guess why Brainiac came to find him.
"You didn't come here because of this, did you?" He raised the tablet in his hand, and at Brainiac's level, he had already figured out the information on the tablet.
"You are right, I need your help. Put down that tablet. I know better than all of you about the giant tree that grew in Antarctica. Your world and mine are at stake, Ke Wen."
Nodding, Brainiac didn't play charades with Ke Wen in this regard, and directly explained his intentions there, about the collapse of the wall of origin and the giant tree that suddenly grew in Antarctica. In Brainiac's words, Ke Wen finally understood why the world creator would say that this is his own test.
According to Brainiac, there are four ancient beings in the universe, they are older than civilization, language is a baby to them, and they call themselves Omega Titans. The four Omega Titans represent the essential building blocks of life in the universe.
Entropy, Knowledge, Magic, and Mystery, respectively.
And these four Omega Titans all think that they are the key attribute of intelligent life, and in order to prove each other's correctness, the four Omega Titans also planted cosmic seeds on their respective planets, the towering giant tree in Antarctica It was planted by one of the Omega Titans.
"Wow, this sounds a bit crazy, hey, how come there is a sense of sight in Guardians of the Galaxy 2?" Listening to Brainiac's narration, Ke Wen also cooperated there, especially when talking about When he planted the seeds of the universe here, he had no reason to think of the second-generation star-lord next door who is a demigod and is comparable to a mortal.
"Ah, what are you talking about?"
"It's okay, you continue." For Brainiac's doubts, Ke Wen also motioned him there to continue to educate himself.
After planting cosmic seeds on their chosen planets of life, the four Omega Titans fell into a deep sleep. They will compare who grows the most robust and outstanding cosmic seeds, and the winner will swallow the planet of life as a reward. According to Brainiac, this comparison can be said to be a period of time that cannot be measured by time. Only when the universe is on the verge of destruction will the cosmic seeds they planted grow.
Coincidentally, in this nascent DC universe, on the earth, major events have happened one after another in the past few years, from the beginning of the clash of civilizations, to the darkest night, and later the will of the universe against The big events produced by Ke Wen, as well as the recent chaos between the light and dark multiverses caused by the Laughing Bat and Barbatos, once brought the multiverse to the brink of destruction.
This kind of chaos also allows the Titan named Entropy among the four Omega Titans to have enough nutrition for the cosmic seeds he planted, because entropy represents chaos, and these big events that happened are a kind of chaos.
"Then your world... oh, I understand, knowledge, right." Ke Wen also reacted suddenly, and said directly.
Brainiac nodded. As a civilization that gave birth to the only level ten artificial intelligence like Brainiac, there is nothing more suitable for sowing cosmic seeds than the Knowledge Titan.
And the fuse that made the cosmic seeds buried in the earth and Brainiac's world grow up is the collapse of the wall of origin.
Although it is not clear why the origin of the universe suddenly collapsed,
But because of the collapse of the origin of the universe, the four sleeping Omega Titans thought that the universe was on the verge of destruction. They woke up and began to look for the world where they planted the seeds of the universe. The earth is one, Brainiac The world is one, and if Cowen and Brainiac don't stop it, well, it can be sent.
This is why Brainiac came to Ke Wen. After Brainiac finished talking about the collapse of the wall of origin, the relationship between the Omega Titan and the seeds of the universe, Ke Wen also fell into contemplation.
Regardless of the collapse of the wall of origin, God knows why the wall of origin chose to collapse at this time. These four Omega Titans alone made Ke Wen feel a lot of pressure, because they were so powerful that even Brainiac came to him for help.
What kind of existence is Brainiac, whether it is in the old 52 universe era or this new 52 universe, it is a ruthless character that the Justice League dare not say can be defeated. I won't say much about the Zhenglian in the new 52 universe era, because of my own intervention, it is still the first seven giants plus a few recruited later, which is far worse than the talented Justice League of the old 52.
Although I said that I defeated Brainiac at the time, it would be better to say that it was because of Brainiac's own reasons, plus the time remnants of all the old 52 Justice League members plus a microcosm, combining the power of these three Only then can it be defeated, not killed. A being like this can't handle the four Omega Titans, why does Brainiac think he can handle them, and the World Founder, why does he think so?
Is the All-Star Superman dial in my hand really so fierce? At this time, Ke Wen can only associate with the props he obtained in this big event. The only thing that can be called a bug is the All-Star Superman dial that gathers the 52 superhuman powers of the Bright Multiverse, and the dial that represents idealism. Batman and Superman dual energy full bottles with spiritual power. But according to Brainiac's description of the four Omega Titans, Ke Wen doesn't think these can kill them.
Defeating is no problem, but they already think that the universe is on the verge of destruction. If they don't swallow the world where the seeds of the universe are located, will they give up? Ke Wen didn't dare to pin his expectations on the existence of this kind of life level that was not at the same level as them.
"Why are you only looking for me, compared to me, Clark, Batman, and the Justice League? If these four Omega Titans are really as powerful as you said, the more people for this kind of thing, the better .”
Thinking of this, Ke Wen also raised his doubts. As for Brainiac's first meeting with the Justice League?
If you have not experienced the restart of the memory of the old 52 universe, you may have to fight again, but everyone who already understands that they are in a cycle, for the appearance of Brainiac, it should be more of the joy of seeing old friends, Especially in the face of this crisis that is very likely to affect the entire universe.
"I know what you want to say. I can tell the difference between the past and the present. But this time is different. They can't help me in this crisis. The only one who can help me is you, Ke Wen. Or, fake Masked Knight Riqi!"
"Go ahead."
"Without you, I think the way I intervene in this newborn universe is the same as in the past, but because of you, everything has changed. You are the cause of the awakening of the Entropic Titan. This history that did not exist is because of you. , Naturally, it also needs to be ended by you, that's why I came to you. Maybe you don't even know it yourself, you can end these four Omega Titans, we don't have time to dawdle, the earth is facing the threat of being swallowed at any time Dangerous, so is my world!"
Brainiac's expression was serious, emphasizing the seriousness of the problem.
Although Ke Wen didn't know why Brainiac was sure that he could solve the four Omega Titans, he also said when he met Clark just now that this incident was handled by himself. Perhaps in the dark, Ke Wen also felt that he could handle this incident, so that he could find the answer in the meeting with the world creator. But before that, he still has something to do.
"I see, it's hard to make a trip for you, but you are here, come with me to Gotham?"
"What are you doing in Gotham?"
"Get something."
Gotham City, as the center of the big metal event, especially the Challenger Mountain built by Barbatos, directly expanded Gotham City. Except for the suburbs, the city center was basically demolished in this big incident. Fortunately, except for the buildings, there were not many casualties. This can be regarded as preserving the vitality of Gotham, people are there, and the Wayne Group, the invisible owner of Gotham City, took action to activate the banknote ability, cooperate with the government, and at the same time hire a group of superpowers from the society.
Relying on their strength and the resources mobilized by the Wayne Group, within a month, the outline of Gotham City can be regarded as roughly restored.
At the same time, taking advantage of the background of the destruction of Gotham City, under the instruction of Bruce Wayne, the spokesperson of the Wayne Group, some neighborhoods have been transformed, so that some unemployed people in Gotham City have jobs. Let it sit in its place for a while. During this period of time, Gotham City is like any other ordinary city, only the police, citizens, government, Batman and Robin who should have been haunting Gotham at night in such an environment have lost their traces.
Only the Bat Light on the roof of the Gotham Police Station is still lit in the night sky, and people are gradually getting used to the days when there are only Bat Lights but no Batman.
Wayne Manor, taking off his combat uniform, Bruce, who is running around for the reconstruction of Gotham as the spokesperson of the Wayne Group, is currently having a meeting with the directors in the study. Whether it's reconstruction or government cooperation projects, these are the big tasks that Wayne Group has to do at present. If he doesn't show up as a talker, the directors don't know what to do.
It's just that this kind of meeting they are used to, after Bruce's joining, it seems weird.
Because in the impression of these Wayne Group directors, although Bruce Wayne is the talker of the Wayne Group, more often he is playing the role of a playboy. Decisions are made at key meetings to benefit the group. Except for those necessary key meetings, the way they meet the group talkers is usually through the lace news and the big cover of the newspaper.
But now, Playboy has suddenly turned into a responsible leader, and none of the meetings related to rebuilding Gotham have been left behind, so that's fine. This guy even made a few jokes in the meeting, which is outrageous! It was the last time they had heard Bruce Wayne tell a joke.
The sense of disobedience that was different from what they had imagined lasted for a month, and they still hadn't gotten used to it. In other words, in this abnormal Gotham City, as the real controller of Gotham City, he suddenly behaved too normal, which made them unable to adapt, and they didn't know whether it was good or bad.
But now that it's done, it's impossible for them to go back in time and space to repair it. Besides, they are getting used to this kind of normal meeting. If it changes suddenly, I have to toss myself to adapt, so I just lie flat like this. And after contacting Brainiac who came to visit suddenly, Ke Wen, who knew what he was going to do, also set foot on the land of Gotham City again.
Looking at this troubled city, Ke Wen can also feel the vitality and vitality of this city from the earth.
Different from the Gotham City that he had been in contact with before, even in the newly born Gotham City in the strange knight incident created by Dr. Manhattan, Ke Wen still felt that the dark tide was turbulent under the calm lake. But Gotham now, um, is just like the big city in the real world where I used to live, with people coming and going, full of the rhythm of pursuing a better life.
In such a city, there is chaos and harmony, but this is the real life. The keynote is rice, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, instead of robbing banks or fighting on the streets.
"Hmm... Hey, did I go to the wrong place? It's not like, although there is an extra windmill tower, it's the Wayne Group."
Scratching his head, Ke Wen also walked in the direction of Wayne Manor. And when Ke Wen came to Wayne Manor, the strange sense of disobedience made him jump back and forth between comfortable and uncomfortable states.
Because the Wayne Manor in front of him always had only one light on in his eyes, and his work was mostly focused on the ground. It was dull, depressing, and old-fashioned, and now it was full of vitality. It’s not right to say that, it’s like a big mansion where several generations live together, when you stand in front of such a mansion, the rush of human fireworks will give you a kind of idea that life should be like this.
This is the life everyone wants, only when it appears in Wayne Manor, the heart of Gotham City.
Ke Wen would have two completely different feelings, but when he was standing at the gate of Wayne Manor hesitating whether to go in and visit, Alfred's figure appeared at the gate, looking at Ke Wen with a gentle smile.
"Master Ke Wen, you look dumb standing at the door like this." After a moment of embarrassment, Ke Wen also went to the living room of Wayne Manor. Sitting on the sofa, drinking the tea made for him by the old housekeeper, Ke Wen is still not used to the scope of Wayne Manor today, and Alfred also noticed Ke Wen's strange behavior, and explained there.
"You're not the first to feel this way, Master Cowen. Maybe we used to think that the Bruce Wayne mask by day and Batman by night was the norm in this house, but Now it seems that it is normal now, but we are not normal."
"It's rare for you to turn a corner and scold yourself, Alfred, why are you alone at home, what about them?" Ke Wen touched his nose in embarrassment, and Ke Wen quickly changed the subject.
"Dick, he went to go through the handover procedures, and he will return to work at the Gotham Police Department. Jason went to Gordon's house. Tim, he is still in Bluehaven. Damian and Helena have today Parents' meeting, Master Wayne has passed."
After the words fell, Ke Wen only felt that the hot tea in his mouth was surprisingly hot. He turned his head and looked at Alfred who seemed to be talking about a trivial matter. The message in his eyes was that you were kidding me? ! Regarding Ke Wen's performance, Alfred also showed a kind smile, and said: "Isn't this what I, Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Thomas, have been looking forward to, and what you have been working hard to accomplish, Master Ke Wen, why do you have such a look in your eyes?" ?”
"Yes, this is indeed what I want to see, but how should I put it, when I think about it and it actually happened in front of me, I still can't believe it, at least in such a short period of time, he will undergo such a big change? In the last battle against the Laughing Bat, what happened to him..."
Just when Ke Wen was shocked by the news of Alfred, there was also the sound of a car turning off outside the door. Hearing the sound, he stood outside the window with the old butler Alfred, and Ke Wen also saw such a scene.
The car door opened, and Bruce Wayne, who was the father, hugged Helena from the back seat, and was in the co-pilot position. Damian, who was unhappy, straightened his messy hairstyle, looked at his younger sister who was acting like a baby in his father's arms, and pretended to be cold the whole time.
Ke Wen’s sense of sight is that at the parent meeting, his younger sister was praised and his elder brother was criticized. Then, while his father was happy for his daughter’s praise, he pressed his son’s head in the rebellious period and apologized to the teacher there. Then he drove all the way back, praising his sister and hurting his brother along the way. But this kind of picture appeared on the man named Bruce Wayne in front of him, but it was so disobedient, but it made people feel that this was the real Bruce Wayne, who grew up without going through that bad day Bruce Wayne.
He could feel that what happened in front of his eyes at this time was real, there were no illusions, and it wasn't something wrong with Bruce Wayne. Looking at the scene in front of him, Ke Wen smiled for no reason, and Alfred on the side reacted from such a life scene, and hurried to open the door to pick up his family.
Ke Wen looked at Bruce, who had returned from the parent meeting outside the door, and Alfred, who was chatting with Damian and Helena, and looked at the teacup on the table behind him. Shaking his head, the cup on the table disappeared and returned to the original place, and Ke Wen's figure also left the living room, as if he had never appeared before.
At night, Ke Wen walked on the streets of Gotham, looking at the city after night, the sense of disobedience was slowly disappearing from his heart. Yes, this is what a city should look like. Bruce's life that just happened before his eyes is what every ordinary person should look like. It's just that Ke Wen couldn't understand how Batman, who needed to be brought out of the real illusion a few months ago, became Bruce Wayne so quickly.
Was it when Batman himself chose to die with the Laughing Bat? Or when the last clown died in his arms? Or when you meet your parents again? Maybe there is, since everything begins with the worst day, and everything ends with the meeting on the worst day.
Recognized by their own parents, they know what their son is doing and what path he will choose. As a parent, you can only sacrifice everything to protect your child so that he can escape from this curse of identity. And the last clown also used his own death to put an end to the fate between him and Batman.
If Gotham isn't that crazy city anymore, there's no need for the Joker, and likewise, there's no need for Batman. Maybe we can only wait until the order becomes chaotic again, at that time, new Batman and Joker will naturally be born to continue their struggle. And before that, in this metal event, surviving the face of the Laughing Bat, the Batman who had an epiphany is now just Bruce Wayne.
A father and husband who are melancholy about feelings and children, if this is the case, then he should stop disturbing other people's current life with his own affairs, he will not do immoral things. Looking back, looking at the bat logo on the clouds as a city symbol in the night sky at this time, under the bat logo is a windmill tower rotating in the night wind. face.
"Ha, it's rare to enjoy such a comfortable wind here, let's go."
After a sentence of emotion, Ke Wen, who didn't want to involve Bruce Wayne in his responsibilities as Batman, was about to turn around and leave. Forget what he wanted from Bruce, just leave it to them under the insurance. But as soon as he turned around, he saw the familiar shape, with pointed ears and a black cloak, hidden in the darkness, but it gave people an absolute sense of security.
"It's not your style to say goodbye without saying goodbye."
"I didn't learn this from you. It's not you who are the best at playing this set? But you don't need this outfit, do you? Haven't put it down yet?" Ke Wen didn't expect Bruce to be able to count the time when he left without saying goodbye Standing in front of him, he, who is used to complaining, didn't miss this opportunity, and directly asked Bruce to change the subject.
"I've thought about it a lot, but isn't it over?"
"Yeah, so I'm going to get it done. I started the beginning, and naturally I'll finish it. Why bother to join in the fun?"
"I can't persuade you, and I can't stop you, but since you're going to the end, take everything you should bring and leave it with me, it's outrageous."
With that said, the two objects also flew out of the darkness and fell straight into Ke Wen's hands. One of them is one of the exclusive final transformation props of Kamen Rider Build, which was snatched from Ke Wen and swallowed into his stomach when the Laughing Bat led the Dark Fallen Knights to make their first sneak attack on Apocalypse, extracting Superman and Bat Energy full bottle of Hero element.
And the other one is the Anti-Life Equation also obtained by the Laughing Bat. This artifact, which was engraved on the earth and played a lot of roles in many events, was quietly placed in a specially treated container and held in Ke Wen's hands. And these two are the purpose of his coming to Gotham this time to find Bruce. He didn't expect him to leave without saying goodbye. Instead, he was blocked by others and handed these two things into his own hands.
It's just that when Ke Wen looked up, Batman was no longer there.
With a smile, Ke Wen's figure disappeared into the night.
