Chapter 633: Dr. Manhattan's Hide-and-Seek Game with the World Forger
The "destruction" that Brainiac refers to is different from the "swallowing" that Barbatos used to eat a universe alive, simply and roughly swallowing it into his stomach, and then leaving an empty shell in place.
The former simply cuts off the energy that should have returned to the world's furnace. Those destroyed universes were only destroyed on the "current" timeline, and in the "past" of the super-time flow, the time of these universes The line remains.
To put it simply, if the universe were a living person, Barbatos would kill the living person, then use the corpse to cook a pot of mosaic prion soup and drink it. After drinking it, he would sip twice and call it a day.
But even if this "living person" dies, the chemical energy contained in the corpse will be absorbed by Barbatos. One day after Barbatos is defeated, this energy will still be spit out by him and participate in the entire super-time flow cycle again. .
Just like the raindrops falling into the sea will one day turn into water vapor again and condense into rain clouds in the sky again, Barbatos only absorbed the energy, but did not destroy the energy out of thin air.
But what Brainiac is proposing now is to completely erase the existence of this living person. In the past, present, and future, the entire universe will completely disappear in the super-time flow, as if there has never been anything in the super-time flow. This universe is the same.
This is exactly what the World Forger wants to achieve, to permanently weaken the super-time flow in this way, and then appear at the right time to harvest all the energy collected and destroyed by Brainiac, and use it to forge belonging to own hyper-temporal flow.
"If we want to pluck the past, future and present of this world from the hypertime flow, the first step is to destroy the future of this world first. This is also the simplest step."
Brainiac told the Black Death Emperor: "And the method is very simple. You can know it as soon as you hear it. Just destroy this world."
Yes, when the universe returns to nothingness and is completely destroyed, what future will this universe have?
The timeline of the universe is a road. What the Black Death Emperor has to do is to change the "end of the road" that might have been "hundreds of thousands of years from now, the universe will be destroyed" to "a few hours from now, the universe will be destroyed."
Essentially, shortening the length of the "road" makes it easier for Brainiac to steal it.
"But please note that this destructive future is not created by us, but because the world's original future timeline is heading towards destruction."
Brainiac said: "If we suddenly cut off the originally long timeline, it is very likely that the hyper-time flow will detect an abnormality in its self-detection, and then trigger a counterattack from the hyper-time flow."
What is the counterattack of hyperchronic flow? Of course, they are superheroes. It is no joke that the world and the world are all the same. Even the baby multiverse can be smashed for you.
"After the destruction of this universe, I will intercept a point in time before destruction on the timeline of this universe, and then transfer this universe to the multidimensional integration space I created."
Brainiac said: "These universes will fight against each other under my leadership until one party destroys the other."
"I don't quite understand." Black Death Emperor said.
"This is essentially a ritual." Brainiac said: "If you need a scientific explanation, I can tell you this: This is a deception of the super-time flow. When one universe destroys another universe, Their two histories merged at a certain point, and through this point, I was able to completely merge the two timelines."
In other words, through Brainiac's act of causing the two universes to go to war, the two "roads" crossed together, forming a Y-shaped intersection, and Brainiac could operate through this intersection to The two forked ends of Y also merge together, completely turning II into I.
Then by analogy, the worlds fight each other until the last one is the leek that grows.
Making the Black Death the leader of this temporary alliance would be a beneficial outcome for both Barbatos and Brainiac.
In fact, both Barbatos and Brainiac knew very well that what the two of them gave up was not so much "leadership" but the power to lead the destruction of the world.
Because their behavior is essentially doing bad things, poaching the corner of the hypertime flow. Before, Brainiac stole universes from the hypertime flow to pick up those universes that were about to be destroyed.
For example, "The Future", or the Earth-3 that was destroyed in "Crisis on Infinite Earths". Yes, it was the universe of the Crime Syndicate, Earth-3 in the ancient times. At that time, Speedmaster was still called Ultimate Man, and Nite Owl was still Owlman. , with a real, fluffy owl on its head.
These universes were destroyed naturally, and they stayed in super time until their own time, which is reasonable and legal.
Then Brainiac started stealing directly, without any major hidden dangers.
But if someone deliberately destroys him in the super-time stream in order to steal this universe, it will be completely different... This is a direct steal!
Even if the hyper-temporal flow did not react for a while, by the time of the multi-dimensional fusion, Brainiac had completely melted the past and future of the universe, causing the hyper-temporal flow to permanently lose energy and be severely damaged.
When people start to bleed, go back and check the history in the hyper-time flow, and find that it was you, Barbatos or Brainiac, who grabbed it openly. It is inevitable that you, the guy who destroyed this universe on the hyper-time flow, will suffer backlash. .
Among the three of them, only the Black Death Emperor is the spokesperson of death. He himself represents death, so only he can...
Okay, I can’t edit it anymore. All in all, the most important reason is that this backlash is so delicious that the Black Death Emperor must drink it first.
Therefore, at this point, it was rare for the Black Death Emperor to come forward, and neither Barbatos nor Brainiac had any intention of grabbing it.
In fact, destroying the world was originally the duty of the Black Death Emperor. When he launched the Blackest Night, the world should naturally obey the will of Lady Death.
The Black Death Emperor seemed completely unaware that the leadership opportunity pushed out by the other two people was a huge pit. He accepted the responsibility with satisfaction, and then began to give orders:
"Barbatos, the Laughing Bat should have told you about our cooperation with the Emperor Clown... and the result of the matter is as you can see."
"Parallax Hal will soon deal with the Emperor's Clown, and then come to help Batman's Dragon. And you must resist his invasion on the hypertime stream..."
As he said this, Brainiac next to him was slightly in a trance.
Huh?
Why would I do something so dangerous?
Data is being analyzed...
Brainiac began to use his computing power to analyze, but could not analyze anything.
Why should I go to all the trouble to expose my plan in front of the beast Barbatos, and why should I even pay half of the sixth dimensional energy to get him to join?
This is indeed the case. It was Brainiac who found the rice, and it was Brainiac who cooked the pot. But when the rice was cooked, half of it was given to Barbatos. Isn't this an idiot?
There's more, there's more.
I can obviously spend my time slowly and gradually collect the timelines of the universe that should be destroyed in the hyper-time flow, just like a thief quietly stealing things in a grocery store.
Although the stealing may be slower, over time, it can still turn into a terrible amount of money that I need. But why should I give up safe and stable theft and turn into an open robbery in collusion with others when I am not in a hurry?
In order to complete the main mission of the Pacific Convenience Store Heist?
My behavior from just now to now is a complete idiot and retarded no matter how you look at it, but why is it so strange that I only react now?
Brainiac had some reaction, but Barbatos was completely possessed by greed.
Not only did he not reflect on whether his behavior was a little out of line, which was different from his previous policy of turning a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window and only wanting to eat corpses, he was instead thinking about absorbing those who were killed by Brainiac. After refining the six-dimensional energy, what kind of powerful new state will he enter?
He was so ambitious that he wanted to throw the body of the World Forger into the big pot of rice cooked by Brainiac, but he soon gave up the idea with a shudder. "How can you think like this? It's still too dangerous..." However, Barbatos did not continue thinking, and his thinking stopped here.
And Brainiac's thoughts haven't stopped yet.
"That's not right, something is not good...Am I being manipulated? There are no signs...and who would need to manipulate me to achieve these goals...I simply..."
The more Brainiac thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he could hardly keep the expression on his face.
He looked at Barbatos, who was still there discussing ways to destroy the world with the Black Death Emperor. Although he possessed powerful power, he was still ignorant. The fear in his heart reached its peak in an instant.
He thought he saw a huge hand slowly opening behind his two temporary allies, with countless threads connected to their bodies, pulling them like marionettes.
Brainiac took half a step back almost imperceptibly, but then forcibly stopped his actions.
He just stood there with his body turned slightly, but he was silently prepared to break through the space and quickly leave the two temporary allies, even if he would be chased or risked being attacked in the future.
He must find out who is controlling...
But as soon as Brainiac thought of this, there was a whisper in his ears.
The layer upon layer of echoing whispers made his brain explode.
After more than 10 seconds, Brainiac completely forgot about the doubts he had just had, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the plan of how to help the Black Death Emperor destroy the universe in front of him.
Super time flowed out, and the World Forger expressionlessly stopped whispering from his lips.
Brainiac's escape was somewhat unexpected. This super artificial intelligence had been completely coded by him in the past years, but he actually relied on the facts to deduce a very correct answer based on the information he had. .
Remarkable, but nothing more.
The Worldforger narrowed his eyes.
Yes, that universe is next. The Reverse-Flash universe is the reflection of the Flashpoint timeline on the Dark Multiverse.
There's a reason why the Worldforge led Barbatos and Brainiac to take the initiative to bring this universe into the Polymer Fusion.
Among the many major events, Flashpoint not only opened up the New 52, but it was also very special.
As an isotope in the dark multiverse, a mirror image of the main universe event, this dark multiverse Flashpoint, which was forged by the super-time stream through the hands of the World Forger, should have risen into the main universe and become a Flashpoint event if it had not been flawed.
Although this timeline was finally abandoned in the dark multiverse due to collapse, this universe timeline also had an extremely important connection with someone, just like the timeline that became the main universe Flashpoint event.
Pop!
The World Forger lowered his eyebrows, and then he disappeared on the spot.
The next second, a large number of blue light spots condensed into the appearance of Dr. Manhattan at the location where the World Forger just existed, and then Dr. Manhattan also disappeared in the air.
Dr. Manhattan quickly returned to the past when the World Forger existed, but only found a faint black shadow in the past.
As the eldest son of Pafetua, the mother of the multiverse, when the World Forger was at the dividing line between dying and not dying, he could leave a part of himself in the multiverse central control room of the sixth dimension.
Unless Dr. Manhattan wants to make a big move, it will be difficult to catch this rat.
Based on this result...
The World Forger wants to bet that Dr. Manhattan will not interfere with his actions.
Yes, that is what the World Forger wants to plan:
The quantum power belonging to Manhattan.
Behind the Flashpoint event is Dr. Manhattan's 10-year experiment of stealing the multiverse, and a trace of residual power from this unprecedented super theft was also fed back to the universe of the Flashpoint of the Dark Multiverse.
When the World Forger gets this trace of quantum power, he can use it to influence more history of the main universe and pry more timelines involved by Dr. Manhattan.
This is enough for him to take risks... for greater benefits.
And if his guess is correct, Dr. Manhattan, the ruthless "god" who only cares about experiments...
The World Forger witnessed the blue shadow belonging to Dr. Manhattan beside him disappear into the air.
He blocked communication with Dr. Manhattan, and now they can only see each other's shadows.
He guessed that he... or bet that he would not pursue it.
The World Forger breathed a sigh of relief.
It looks like he won the bet.
And then...
The Forger looked at the chessboard.
The Dark Emperor, Barbatos, Brainiac, dragging the Dark Multiverse Flashpoint into destruction seemed foolproof, but he still needed an insurance policy.
The World Shaper closed his eyes. Batman Dragon might pose a threat to the plan, especially since the other party has superhero attributes and can naturally become a super-time flow immune system to be recruited.
He also needs the help of one person, a person who currently seems to belong to the Batman Dragon camp. He must make a fatal blow to Batman Dragon at a critical moment and completely cut off his hope of resistance.
The figure of the World Forger disappeared on the spot.
