Happy New Year
In the office, I just got the information about this giant tree that suddenly grew in Antarctica from Clark, and just after returning home, Ke Wen saw the uninvited guest of Brainiac. As a powerful existence that was not 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, successfully defeated the opponent, and let the other party put down the restart of the old 52 universe era. After that, Brainiac wandered in the universe.
Ke Wen did not expect his appearance, but looking down at the tablet in his hand, Ke Wen seemed to have guessed the reason why Brainiac came to him.
"You didn't come because of this, did you?" He raised the tablet in his hand. At Brainiac's level, he had already figured out the information on the tablet.
"You're right, I need your help. Put down that tablet. I know better than all of you about that giant tree that grew in Antarctica. You and my world are at stake, Ke Wen."
Nodding his head, Brainiac didn't play a riddle with Cowen in this regard, and directly explained his purpose there, about the collapse of the Wall of Origin and this giant tree that suddenly grew in Antarctica. And in Brainiac's words, Cowen understood why the World Maker would say that this was a test of his own.
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 important fundamental elements of life in the universe.
They are entropy, knowledge, magic and mystery.
And these four Omega Titans all believe that they are the key attributes of intelligent life, and in order to prove the correctness of each other, 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, eh, why does it feel like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2?" Listening to Brainiac's narration, Ke Wen also complimented him 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 was a demigod who was comparable to mortals.
"Ah, what are you talking about?"
"It's alright, you continue." Regarding Brainiac's doubts, Ke Wen also signaled him to continue teaching himself.
After planting the cosmic seeds on their respective chosen planets of life, the four Omega Titans fell into a deep sleep. They will compare who sows the cosmic seeds that grow the strongest and best, and the winner will swallow that planet of life as a reward. According to Brainiac, this comparison can be said to be a period of time that cannot be measured. Only when the universe is on the verge of destruction will the cosmic seeds they plant grow.
Coincidentally, in this new DC universe, on the earth, the major events that have occurred in the past few years have been one after another, from the clash of civilizations at the beginning, to the dark night, to the will of the universe. The events of Cowen, and the recent chaos between the light and dark multiverses caused by Laughing Bat and Barbatos, have brought the multiverse to the brink of destruction for a time.
This kind of chaos also allows the Titan named Entropy, one of the four Omega Titans, to have enough nutrition for the cosmic seeds he planted, because entropy represents chaos, and these big events are a kind of chaos.
"Then your world... oh, I see, knowledge is right." Ke Wen also suddenly reacted and said directly.
Brainiac nodded. As a civilization that gave birth to the only level-10 artificial intelligence like Brainiac, there is nothing more suitable for sowing the seeds of the universe than the Knowledge Titan.
And the fuse that made the cosmic seeds planted in Earth and Brainiac's world grow was the collapse of the Wall of Origination.
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 believed that the universe was on the verge of destruction. They woke up and began to look for the world where they had planted the seeds of the universe. , Earth is one, Brainiac's world is one, and if Curwen and Brainiac don't stop, well, it can be sent.
This is the reason why Brainiac came to Kewen. After Brainiac told about the collapse of the Wall of Origin, the relationship between the Omega Titan and the Cosmic Seed, Kewen also fell into contemplation.
Leaving aside the collapse of the Wall of Origin, God knows why the Wall of Origin chose to collapse at this time. The four Omega Titans alone made Kewen 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 in the old 52 universe era or this new 52 universe, he is a ruthless character that the Justice League can't say enough to defeat. I won't say much about the Zhenglian of the new 52 universe era. Because of my intervention, it is still the first generation of the seven giants plus a few more recruits, 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, combined with the power of these three. To be able to beat it, not kill it. An existence like this can't handle these four Omega Titans, why does Brainiac think he can handle it, and the World Maker, why does he think so?
Is the All-Star Superman dial in his hands 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 light multiverse, and the superhuman dial that represents the ideal will. And the Batman of idealistic power, Superman double energy full bottle. But according to Brainiac's description of the four Omega Titans, Curwen doesn't think these can kill them.
Defeat is no problem, but they already think that the universe is on the verge of destruction. If they don't devour the world where the seeds of the universe are located, will they stop? Ke Wen didn't dare to place his expectations on the existence of this level of life that was not on the same level as them.
"Why are you only looking for me, compared to me, Clark, Batman, and the Justice League you don't contact? If these four Omega Titans are as powerful as you say, the more people, the better. ."
Thinking of this, Ke Wen also raised his doubts. As for Brainiac's first meeting with the Justice League?
If you haven't experienced the restart of the old 52 universe memory, you may have to fight one more game, 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 spread to the entire universe.
"I know what you're trying 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 The face knight is riding!"
"Go on."
"Without you, I think I would have intervened in this new universe in the same way as in the past, but because of you, everything has changed. You are the cause of the awakening of the entropic titan, the history of which did not exist because of you , of course, it also needs to be ended by you, that's why I'm looking for you. Maybe even you don't know, you can end these four omega titans, we don't have time to linger, the earth is facing the devouring at any time Dangerous, so is my world!"
Brainiac's expression was serious, underscoring 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 he would handle this incident by himself. Maybe somewhere, Ke Wen himself felt that he could handle this incident, so he could find the answer in the meeting with the World Maker. But before that, he still has something to do.
"I see, it's hard to make a trip for you, but you've come here, accompany me to Gotham?"
"What are you going to do 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 event. Fortunately, apart from the buildings, there were not too many casualties. This can also be regarded as saving Gotham's vitality. People are there, and the Wayne Group, the invisible owner of Gotham City, has taken action, mobilized the banknote ability, cooperated with the government, and at the same time hired a group of superpowers to the society.
Relying on their strength and the resources mobilized by the Wayne Group, in one month, the outline of Gotham City can be roughly restored.
At the same time, with the help of the background of Gotham City being destroyed, under the instruction of Bruce Wayne, the spokesperson of the Wayne Group, some neighborhoods were renovated, so that some homeless people in Gotham City have jobs. Let it sit on its own for a while. During this time, Gotham City is like other ordinary cities, only the police, citizens, government, Batman, Robin, who should be haunting Gotham nights in such an environment, have all disappeared.
Only the bat lamp 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 is only a bat lamp and no Batman.
Wayne Manor, took off his battle uniform, and Bruce, who was running around for the reconstruction of Gotham as a spokesperson for the Wayne Group, was holding a meeting with the directors in the study at this time. Whether it is reconstruction or government cooperation projects, these are the big tasks that Wayne Group has to do at present. His words do not appear, and the directors have no idea.
It's just that this kind of meeting they are accustomed to, but after Bruce joins it, it looks weird.
Because in the impression of the directors of the Wayne Group, although Bruce Wayne is the talker of the Wayne Group, more often he is playing the role of a playboy, but he has a unique vision, and he can always be in the Decisions are made at key meetings that benefit the group. Aside from those essential key meetings, the way they meet the group talkers is usually through tidbits, the big covers of newspapers.
But now, Playboy has suddenly turned into a responsible leader, and none of the meetings related to rebuilding Gotham have fallen, and that's fine. This guy even makes a few jokes at the meeting, which is outrageous! It was the last time they heard Bruce Wayne tell a joke.
The sense of discord that was different from what they had in mind lasted for a month, but they still didn't get used to it. In other words, in this Gotham City, which itself is abnormal, as the real controller of Gotham City, he suddenly behaved too normal, making them unable to adapt, and they don't know whether it is good or bad.
But now that the boat is done, it is impossible for them to go back in time and space to repair. Besides, they are slowly getting used to this kind of normal meeting. If you change suddenly, you have to toss yourself to adapt, so you just lie down. And after contacting Brainiac who suddenly visited, 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 could also feel the vigor and vitality of the city from the ground.
Different from the Gotham he had come into contact with before, even in the newly born Gotham City in the strange knight incident created by Dr. Manhattan, the feeling it brought to Cowen was still a turbulent undercurrent under the calm lake. But now Gotham, um, is just like the big city in the real world where I once lived, with people coming and going, full of the rhythm of the pursuit of a better life.
In such a city, there is chaos and harmony, but this is the real life. Chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea are the keynotes, not thinking about robbing banks or fighting on the streets.
"Um...hmm, did I go to the wrong place? It's not like, although there is an extra windmill tower, but the Wayne Group."
Scratching his head, Ke Wen also walked in the direction of Wayne Manor. And when Ke Wen came to Wayne Manor, that strange sense of disobedience made him jump back and forth between the two states of comfort and discomfort.
Because in front of him, there is always only one light on in his eyes, and his work is mostly focused on the ground. The Wayne Manor, which is dull, depressed and twilight, is now full of life. It's not right to say that. It's like a big mansion where several generations live in the same house. When you stand in front of such a mansion, the fireworks that blow in your face will give you an idea that life should be like this.
It's the life everyone wants, only when it's at Wayne Manor in the heart of Gotham City.
Ke Wen will have two completely different feelings, but when he was standing at the gate of Wayne Manor and hesitating whether to go in to visit, Alfred appeared at the gate and looked at Ke Wen with a gentle smile.
"Master Ke Wen, it's stupid that you are 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 that the old butler made for him, Ke Wen was still not used to the current scope of Wayne Manor, and Alfred also noticed Ke Wen's abnormality and explained there.
"You're not the first to feel this way, Master Curwen. Maybe it's the kind of Bruce Wayne mask we all thought by day and Batman by night was the norm in this house, but Now it seems that it is normal now, but it is those of us who are abnormal."
"It's rare for you to scold yourself around the corner, Alfred, why are you alone at home, what about them?" Touching his nose in embarrassment, Ke Wen quickly changed the subject.
"Dick, he went to the handover, and then he went back to work with the Gotham Police Department. Jason went to Gordon's house, Tim's words, he's still in Bluehaven. Damian and Helena have today. Parent meeting, Master Wayne has passed."
When the words fell, Ke Wen only felt that the hot tea in his mouth was astonishingly hot. He turned his head and looked at Alfred who seemed to be talking about a trivial matter. The information in his eyes was that you were not kidding me? ! For Ke Wen's performance, Alfred also showed a kind smile and said: "Isn't this what I, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas expect, and what you have been working on to accomplish, Master Ke Wen, why are you looking like this? ?"
"Yes, this is indeed what I want to see, but how can I say it, when I think of it and it really happened in front of me, I still can't believe it, at least in such a short period of time, he will have such a big change? In the last battle against the Laughing Bat, what exactly happened to him..."
Just when Ke Wen was shocked by the news of Alfred, the sound of the car turning off came from outside the door. Hearing the sound, he stood outside the window with the old housekeeper Alfred, and Ke Wen also saw such a scene.
The door opened, and Bruce Wayne, the father, held Helena from the back seat and took the passenger seat. Damian, who was unhappy, tidied up his messy hairstyle, looked at his sister who was coquettish in his father's arms, and pretended to be cold the whole time.
The immediate impression given to Ke Wen is that at the parent-teacher meeting, the younger sister was praised and the elder brother was criticized. Then, while the 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 such a picture appeared on the man named Bruce Wayne in front of him, but it was so inconsistent, 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 was no illusion, and it was not something wrong with Bruce Wayne. Looking at the scene in front of him, Ke Wen had no reason to smile on his face, and Alfred, who was 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-teacher 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 its original place, and Ke Wen's figure also left the living room, as if it had never appeared.
At night, Ke Wen was walking on the streets of Gotham, watching the city look after the night, the sense of disobedience was slowly disappearing from his heart. Yes, this is what a city should look like. Bruce's life just happened in front of his eyes is what every ordinary person should look like. It's just that Cowen couldn't understand how Batman, who needed to be brought out of the real fantasy a few months ago, became Bruce Wayne so quickly.
Was it Batman himself when he chose to die with the Laughing Bat? Or when the last clown died in his arms? Or when you meet your parents again? Maybe both, since the beginning of everything comes from the worst day, and the end of everything comes from the meeting of the worst day.
Acknowledged 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 you have to protect your child so that he can escape from this identity curse. And the last Joker also used his own death to draw an end to the fate between him and Batman.
If Gotham was no longer the crazy city, there would be no need for The Joker, and likewise, there would be no need for Batman. Perhaps only when the order is chaotic again, at that time, new Batman and Joker will naturally be born to continue their own struggle. Before that, in this metal incident, surviving in the face of the Laughing Bat, the epiphany Batman is now just Bruce Wayne.
A father and husband who are melancholy and their children, since this is the case, then don't disturb other people's current life, and he will not do anything immoral. If you look back, look at the bat symbol that has been illuminated on the clouds as a city symbol in the night sky at this time. Under the bat symbol is a windmill tower that is rotating in the night wind. face.
"Ha, it's rare to enjoy such a comfortable wind here, let's go."
With a sigh, Ke Wen, who didn't want to involve Bruce Wayne in his responsibilities as Batman, was about to turn around and leave. Whatever he wanted from Bruce, forget it and leave it as one for them. under the insurance. It's just that he just turned around and saw the familiar shape, sharp ears, black cloak, hidden in the darkness, but it gave people an absolute sense of security.
"It's not your style to say goodbye."
"I didn't learn it from you. You're not the best player in this set? But you don't need this outfit, do you, haven't you put it down yet?" Ke Wen didn't expect that Bruce would be able to count the time when he left without saying goodbye. Blocked in front of him, he was used to complaining, and he didn't miss this opportunity, and directly asked Bruce to change the subject.
"I've figured it out a lot, but isn't it over."
"Yeah, so I'm not ready to get it done. I start, and naturally I'll end, so why 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 need to bring and leave it with me, it's ridiculous."
With that said, the two objects also flew out of the darkness and fell directly into Ke Wen's hands. One of them is one of Kamen Rider Build's exclusive final transformation props, which was taken from Ke Wen and swallowed into his stomach when Laughing Bat led the Dark Fallen Knights in the first sneak attack on Apocalypse, extracting Superman and Bat The energy of the Xia element is fully bottled.
The other is the anti-life equation that was also obtained by the Laughing Bat. This divine artifact, which was engraved on the earth and had many scenes in many events, was quietly placed in a specially treated container and held in Ke Wen's hand. And these two are the reason why he came to Gotham this time to find Bruce. He didn't expect him to leave without saying goodbye, but instead he was blocked by others and handed these two things into his own hands.
It's just that when Cowen looked up, Batman was no longer there.
With a chuckle, Ke Wen's figure disappeared into the night.
