Chapter 411 Three people reunited
"So...this is the reason why you left us in the wasteland universe for more than three months!?"
In the worship room at the back of the church, Pietro and Carla stood together, glaring at Zhang Yi in front of them with sad faces, and mixed feelings in their hearts.
"The situation at that time is difficult to explain. The moment the connection between the two universes was severed, I needed a huge amount of energy to make the Wasteland universe throw away the Apokolips War universe, and it was also very troublesome to stabilize the timeline. I really couldn't. Make time.”
Zhang Yi smiled apologetically. He also knew how much psychological damage his leaving without saying goodbye had caused to the two of them, but if he had to do it over again, Zhang Yi would still do it.
At that time, Kara was seriously injured. She was not as powerful as her cousin. After fighting with Darkseid, her internal injuries were extremely serious. Even if she applied healing magic, she would not be able to recover immediately.
Although Pietro was not seriously injured, he first fought against the underground people and then fought head-on with the Royal Guards led by Du Jian, which was very draining on his physical strength.
You know, Pietro is not the Quicksilver in the eyes of the public. In his universe, he is just a very fast ordinary mutant, far not as fast as Quicksilver in other universes.
At the same time, Pietro's endurance is much weaker than Quicksilver in other universes. A series of battles have already exhausted him physically and mentally, let alone going to the House of Mystery with him.
Coupled with the timeline of dividing the two universes and the establishment of a regulator organization, the two of them can't help much. Rather than doing this, it is better to stay in the wasteland universe and take a good rest.
"Tsk, tsk. You are not enough of a brother, Zhang Yi. I have prepared a birthday surprise for you, but you treat me like this."
Pietro's shoulders trembled, and he raised his hand to rub the corners of his eyes, trying to squeeze out a tear.
"Birthday surprise? How do you know when my birthday is? I remember I never told you." Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows.
"Of course it's my birthday. I don't know about yours. I don't know about mine. Can you come to my brother's birthday?"
"It's your birthday?!"
Zhang Yi was really a little surprised now. He really didn't notice this problem.
"When did this happen?"
Although Zhang Yi himself has not returned to the wasteland universe, he usually takes some time to pay attention to every move of everyone in the wasteland universe.
Including Pietro and Carla, everything about them was under Zhang Yi's gaze.
However, no matter how Zhang Yi recalled it, he had no impression of seeing Pietro celebrating his birthday. On the contrary, Damian celebrated his birthday once and invited many people to the banquet.
"There are only a few days left, and I was just thinking about how to prepare an invitation for you, or contact you with a raven tattoo, when I received a message from Mr. Fantastic and came here."
Pietro shrugged his shoulders, smiled and sighed.
"Back then, we had been escaping in various universes, and the time in each universe was not fixed. Sometimes it was summer, sometimes winter, and we were never sure. It was in the wasteland that I really relaxed and waited until I arrived. 's birthday."
Seeing this, Zhang Yi didn't know what to say for a moment. He was not very good at comforting people, so he could only pat him on the shoulder gently, while thinking about how to prepare a birthday gift.
Next to them, after chatting for a while, Kara also understood that Zhang Yi didn't mean to 'abandon' them, but he was just busy and couldn't spare the time.
Originally, Kara was still thinking that Zhang Yi didn't have any time to meet them. Later, when she learned about the Zombie Hero Universe, she realized how serious the problem was.
"Zhang Yi, I know you want us to live a safe and peaceful life, but you should understand that we cannot always live under your protection. Just like Grandpa Ashley's motto, with great ability comes great responsibility. The bigger.”
Kara walked to Zhang Yi's side, stared at Zhang Yi's face with piercing eyes, and said seriously.
"We have this ability, so we also have the responsibility to stand with you. Precisely because we now have the common home of the wasteland, we must do our best to maintain everything there."
"and"
Pietro took over the conversation and lightly punched Zhang Yi.
"Without the two of us, you can't do anything, okay?"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and their relationship with each other took a further step, becoming more and more like a family.
"To be honest, no matter how many times I think about it, I can't believe that this world is so weird. There are demon hunters and countless monsters. It's hard to imagine how people living in this world live."
Leaning back on the chair, Pietro crossed his legs and sighed quietly.
As a superhero and an extraordinary person who has experienced many desperate worlds with Zhang Yi, Pietro thinks that he has quite a lot of knowledge.
But this universe obviously looks full of hope and vitality on the surface, but if you look a little deeper, you can find many extraordinary details that are horrifying to think about.
Be it demons or monsters, those strange creatures that feed on human flesh and blood are threatening people's lives all the time. Under the influence of this level of existence, Pietro really can't imagine how helpless the people here are.
"This is the nature of the world. In the eyes of the Creator God of this universe, everything is vain and meaningless. In his eyes, everything in this world is an item that can be discarded at will."
Zhang Ye couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly as he thought about the God of this universe, and a hint of ridicule flashed between his eyebrows.
Everything here is just God's pastime. He likes to write novels, especially the brothers Dean and Sam in his novels. Perhaps God sees the shadow of Michael and Lucifer in them.
These brothers are one of God's most outstanding works. In order to better observe the possibilities of these brothers, God even shared his power and created countless parallel universes.
Just to explore what magical paths Dean and Sam would develop under different universes, different eras, and different choices.
However, the worst thing he did was to write himself into the book.
He could not accept that the characters he wrote did not move forward according to his expectations, and he could not accept that his creations would actually resist him, and this was also the fundamental reason why he eventually died.
"Raven and Dick were just discussing whether they could take advantage of these few days here to help the demon hunters kill more man-eating monsters."
Kara suddenly said, and then looked at Zhang Yi.
"But if you don't nod, they won't be able to confirm the plan."
"They are all heroes. It is understandable to think so. It's just that the concept of good and evil in this universe is completely different from what you have in mind."
Zhang Yi shook his head slightly, that is to say, Carla and Pietro had never been exposed to the original novels and American TV series about evil forces, so they didn't quite understand the connection here.
After considering his words, Zhang Ye continued to explain.
"This universe has always maintained a balance between justice and evil. Monsters eat people. Humans gave birth to the profession of demon hunters, and then demon hunters hunted down monsters. This is a very delicate balance relationship."
"Once one party overpowers the other, the balance of the universe will be broken. At that time, the barriers of the reality barrier will become blurred, and the world will usher in the 'end'."
"The end?"
Carla and Pietro looked at each other, then looked at Zhang Yi without knowing why.
"Yes, the end of the world. Angels and demons break through the barriers of reality and enter the real world. The war between the two sides causes a huge flood. The Olympus domain falls in the sky. The pyramid of the Sun God becomes a ruin. Fenrir eats it. The moon, the whole earth ushered in eternal night, and the remaining creatures built Noah's Ark and went to the east to seek the protection of the Turtle God."
Zhang Yi spread his hands and sighed in confusion.
"The cycle starts over and over again, reincarnation is endless, everything starts again, and after ten thousand years, this place will change back to what it is now."
Listening quietly to Zhang Yi's account of this magical and incredible thing, Pietro and Carla spent half a day just barely digesting the information.
Some gods in this world do possess extremely powerful powers, such as angels who can travel through time, the God of Death who is in charge of God's Book of Death, Eve who can freely create monsters, etc.
But their power is limited to this universe. Without this universe and the protection of the Creator God, their abilities will not be so powerful.
Just like the blood of fallen angels that Constantine used before, if he used the blood of angels from this universe, it would be extremely difficult to release magic that transcends timelines in other universes.
This is the incompatibility between the universe and the universe. Zhang Yi was not very clear about it before. It was not until he came into contact with an observer that he discovered it.
"Then what should we do, just turn a blind eye?" Kara asked again.
"Originally, I let so many of you come to this universe, not only because this is the only way to get to the zombie heroes, but also because I wanted to try to force the creation god here to show up, but"
As he spoke, Zhang Yi raised his head and looked around, smiling bitterly.
"I don't know why, but that guy has never wanted to see us. He neither drives us away nor makes contact with us. Now I'm a little unsure about his attitude."
In fact, Zhang Yi really wanted to meet the God here, because he was really curious about how far he would be promoted if he devoured the other person's power.
"Perhaps it's because he has never seen the existence of other universes with his own eyes?" Pietro smiled.
Hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded silently, with a complicated expression on his face.
"It's possible. After all, the Supreme God here is just a poor, powerful man. Although he has created countless multiverses, he can never get out of this world."
