Trajectory of Dawn in the World of American Comics

When Mason boarded the doomsday ark of Atlantis, which was as huge as a floating mountain, the old man was already waiting for him on the side of the ship.

Thomas still looks like a stranger, but Damian next to him is much more relaxed. This little lunatic looks like he has enjoyed his addiction. sword.

However, seeing how close he is to old Thomas makes people have to sigh. Maybe an ice cream is all you need to get along with other kids, but if you want to be Damian's friend, you have to follow him to charge and chop a few It takes a head to convince him.

It can only be said that the gap between bears and bears is really big.

"follow me."

The old man didn't have much time to exchange greetings. He gestured to Mason and led him to the inside of the ark. Thalia, who was behind, wanted to follow up to have a look, but was blocked by Mrs. Martha.

The female clown with paint and war makeup on her face smiled at her little grandson and said to Talia:

"Thomas didn't let you go, so you'd better stay here obediently."

"right."

Baine, who was guarding beside him, also persuaded Thalia in a low voice:

"Thomas Wayne is orders of magnitude more dangerous than Batman, decisive and ruthless, true to his morals and unwavering.

He is the kind of Batman that Lei Xiaogu most desires to see. "

Seeing that Bain said so, Thalia nodded and no longer took the risk of probing. But Catwoman next to her naturally followed Mason to the inside of the ark. She didn't want to be too far away from her little brother Mason.

The old man spotted the tail, but he only glanced at it and made no comment.

A group of people took the ark elevator all the way down, and soon came to the core area of ​​this doomsday giant ship.

The corpses here have not been tidied up yet. The heavily armored submarine warriors are lying on the ground in disorder. Most of them died from gunshot wounds, and some were stabbed to death by sharp knives. It looks like Damian's handwriting.

And in the deepest part of the core area, after passing through three mechanical doors, Mason saw Lex Luthor busy on a high platform.

Lai Bald in this world took off his coat and was only wearing a shirt, rolled up his sleeves and was busy in front of a biological cabin-like device. Seeing the sweat on his shiny forehead, he must have been here for a long time .

Next to him was a guy in a Deathstroke-style armor with a weapon in hand.

"This is the doomsday device of the Atlanteans? It's a little smaller than I thought."

Catwoman looked at the surrounding buildings and asked in a low voice. The old man nodded and said hoarsely:

"If Luthor's judgment is correct, it is indeed here. It's just that the device used to cause destructive consequences is a bit incomprehensible."

"Thomas! I told you not to bring anyone here to disturb my work! This is not a playground."

Luther, who was busy on the high platform, scolded viciously:

"The danger alarm of this device has not been lifted. It is still ready to be activated at any time. I need some time to crack the safety device of the Atlanteans."

"I brought in the professionals."

The old man said calmly:

"He was also the planner and commander of this operation."

Mason didn't take the time to exchange pleasantries. Under the suspicious gaze of Lai Tuo, the young and somewhat over-the-top engineering master took out his toolbox and strode up to the high platform of the doomsday weapon.

He glanced around, some modules had been dismantled by Lai Tuo, and the various components exposed inside were full of the future style of submarine technology.

He stretched out his hand to touch the electron tube module emitting a cold light in front of his eyes, and after a while, an information label popped up:

Doomsday Weapon/Atomic Disruption and Stabilizer

Quality: Epic-level Engineering Creation·Perfect Craftsmanship

Utility: The Atlanteans made it not to detonate weapons, but to control very unstable dangerous energy so that it could explode at the right time.

Item Description: Quickly put down the bomb disposal pliers in your hand! It's not a detonator, and removing it will only make matters worse.

hint:

The device has been locked by the special authority [Arthur Curry], and the next operation can be performed after the authority is released.

"Are you cracking the permission blockade of this thing?"

Mason withdrew his fingers, glanced at Lai Bald who was beside him with a suspicious face, and said:

"You should know that this thing is bound to the vitality of Arthur Curry. In theory, no one can control it except the king of the seven seas."

"I can't get rid of this permission lock, but I think I can bypass the permission tree and enter the core database. I only need one thread!"

Lex Luthor said confidently:

"I have in-depth research on the technology of the sea people, and I have even prepared a jamming program to make this doomsday weapon harmless."

"But you don't know what's in there yet, do you?"

Mason shook his head, stood up, took out a long box from his bag, and said to Luther:

"If you knew, you wouldn't be trying to make it harmless, which is basically impossible."

After speaking, under the surprised gazes of Luthor and Deathstroke beside him, Mason opened the box and took out a severed arm covered in blood, and placed it on the console.

After the triple confirmation of fingerprints, DNA and unique life signals, Mason obtained temporary permission and then raised the sealed core cabin of the doomsday weapon from below.

When the cold mist dispersed, the "decisive weapon" of the people on the seabed was finally exposed to the people on the land, and everyone except Mason dropped their jaws in shock.

"Why is there a person here? The doomsday weapon of the people under the sea is a person?"

Catwoman stepped forward and looked at the biological cabin like a light tube.

Constrained by various complex devices, a comatose man lay in it.

He was housed in the core cabin of Doomsday Weapon and completely sealed off from the outside world.

But this guy is not an ordinary person at first glance, his skin is blue, and there is an atomic symbol on his forehead.

More importantly, except for the intact head and torso of this guy, the other parts of his body are in a "quantum state" change, sometimes turning into an entity but then turning into a free energy body in the next moment. Jumping back and forth in the cabin.

Visible instability.

And Luther solemnly took out an energy monitor connected to the interface of the bio-chamber, and it exploded immediately when it was turned on. It is obvious that the energy fluctuations in the bio-chamber have exceeded the upper limit that can be read.

"It was like a living bomb."

Lai Bald wiped the sweat from his forehead, held the smoking monitor, and said to the people around him:

"The kind that can blow up the continental shelf or even a small half of the world with one blow. The existence of this individual life is very unstable. He should rely on energy to exist, but these crazy sea people have injected him with so much energy that his existence has been completely destroyed.

He was on the verge of death. "

"I think I've heard of this guy."

The old hero Deathstroke beside Luther looked at the blue-skinned man in the biological cabin in front of him. He tried hard to recall some secret documents he had read, and said after a few seconds:

"He was active in the 90s, nicknamed 'Captain Atom' and worked closely with the military, and became the leader of the official superhuman team for a time. During that time, there were several small-scale conflicts between the Atlantis and the land. , it is said that he disappeared accidentally during the last conflict.

He went to mediate the war and everyone thought he was dead. "

The old death knell's explanation made Mason nod, which is what he wanted to say.

As for Captain Atom, few people would know that he is a second-tier or even third-tier character just by his name, but his other identity is very "prominent" in a certain sense.

This dude is the archetype of Doctor Manhattan.

Although both have the ability to modify reality from the atomic level, Captain Atom is obviously not as buggy as Dr. Manhattan, and his most well-known trait is "very unstable" as Luthor said.

Because of the serious crisis caused by several out-of-control, he won the nickname of "Captain Self-Explosion".

With the current state of Captain Atom as a "living dead" and the power of the extremely unstable energy in his body when it is disturbed and detonated, it is indeed enough to instantly destroy a continent and lead to a world-class chain disaster.

However, a weapon of this level is still far from completely destroying a planet.

The old man didn't care who was in the jar, he asked directly:

"Can you disarm the weapon system?"

"no!"

Luthor and Mason replied in unison, and then they looked at each other. Mason made a "please" gesture and handed over the dangerous work of science popularization to Laitou.

The latter wiped the sweat that continued to secrete from his forehead, and briefly explained:

"As soon as he leaves this stable cabin, he will explode immediately. Destroying entities with this level of quantum bombing is not his main means of killing. Now I am worried that his explosion may rewrite reality and cause an uncontrollable crisis."

"Don't even try to wake him up."

Mason added:

"The energy he accommodated has exceeded the limit he can control. This is not a problem that can be solved by willpower."

Having said that, Mason glanced at the biological cabin next to him that could blow up a whole continent. He pushed the frame without lenses on the bridge of his nose, shook his head and said:

"And I don't think it's the most urgent issue we're dealing with right now.

In our hands, this doomsday weapon bay can guarantee that it will not explode in the short term. The capture of the King of the Seven Seas and the Queen of War also marks the end of this great conflict. Now it is time to talk about the real core issue. "

He pointed to the sky and said:

"The countdown to the signs of destruction hidden under the surface of the crisis has not stopped. Ladies and gentlemen, the existence that is clearly leading the changes in this world is still waiting for us to go forward and have an 'audience'."

"what are you talking about?"

The old death knell looked at the eloquent Mason with a dazed expression, but Luther beside him had a flash of light in his eyes. He stepped forward to stare at Mason and said:

"You mean the truth under the time change? You also found out, right?

This world is not real at all!

We, we are mere marionettes, forced to act out on stage a story with a written ending.

Time and time again, the idiots don't realize what's wrong, they're so caught up in the infighting that they're destroying each other, they don't even feel what's wrong.

but I

I can! "

Laid took out a crumpled notebook from his pocket, and he said to Mason:

"According to my calculations, this is already the thirteenth time!"

"What's the 'thirteenth'?"

The old man shook his cloak, and asked in a sinister tone:

"Luther, make it clear!"

"Time changes! Everything evolves! Call it whatever you want, I'm talking about this phenomenon!"

The young version of Luthor waved his hands as if he was in a panic. He circled around Mason and said loudly to the people around him:

"It's like a program running in a simulation sandbox! It's like a piece of self-changing data! It's been checking! In the air, under the stars, in the reflection of water, in our eyes and even in our minds!

It has been calculating a certain problem.

Trying to find the answer again and again from the attempt of everything changing, but it can't find it!

And the only consequence of every failed check to the real world is the collapse of the world and civilization, and then after the point of destruction, everything is rolled back to a certain time to start again.

again and again!

us!

Ladies and gentlemen, we and even all the beings and creatures in this world are placed in this "super-large social destiny experiment".

We all have our mission, and we all need to complete it in order for the change to continue. "

At this time, Lai Tuo was like a psychopath. He shouted the secrets that could only be kept in his heart, and stared at Mason like a lunatic who was eager for answers.

From these eyes, Mason could even feel that Lex Luthor didn't care much about the truth, what he cared about was whether his research and conclusions were correct.

What a scientific madman.

In the face of his inquiry, Mason shrugged and said:

"I can't give you a definite answer, Luther, but I will tell you that you are probably the person closest to the truth in this world. But I'm still curious, if you are a program that is constantly checking in the sandbox, How did you discover the truth outside the box?"

"I have no idea."

Luther waved the tattered and tattered notebook in his hand, and replied:

"I just went to my notebook and deciphered every previous study I had been doing and was interrupted, and there were a dozen very different mathematical models on it.

And it took me ten years to decipher them one by one and put their conclusions together.

I am the thirteenth Lex Luthor!

Or you can call me Lex Luthor XIII, I don't care about how I discovered the truth in the past, I just want to know the final result of this super-large experiment.

Does it represent destruction?

Eternal death, the heat death of the universe or the collapse of the foundation of all things, the distortion of the rules of reality

I know, you can give me an answer!

Mason Cooper.

From outside the sandbox. "

He stared at Mason closely, the light in his eyes was almost frenzied, which made Mason feel a little uncomfortable. The catwoman beside him said with his hands on his hips:

"Why don't you ask me? Luther, I'm also an outsider, and I've seen the truth."

"Just because you've seen it doesn't mean you understand it."

The young Luther dismissed the mature big sister, and said in a sarcastic tone:

"The cow also knows that the feeding machine can bring food, but it absolutely cannot understand the principle of the machine. If I want to make a machine, do I have to ask the cows on the farm?"

"So in your eyes, I'm a pretty monkey, right?"

Catwoman bared her paws in displeasure, but Mason almost couldn't hold back his smile, thinking that the young version of Baldy Lai in front of him was really aggressive and had a poisonous tongue.

It took him some time to tell Luthor everything that happened outside, including the shock incident. The latter frowned, but his smart brain could always quickly relieve the oppression caused by the crisis.

He muttered to himself and picked up a pen next to him and wrote and drew in his notebook, as if setting up a mathematical model to try to explain the connection between the shock and the parallel world system.

"swish"

Just ten seconds after everyone stopped this topic, a flash of light appeared beside them, and the Flash still had tiny electric arcs on his body, which was the embodiment of the residual speed force after running fast.

Xiao Shan didn't bother to explain, grabbed Mason's wrist and said:

"Time has changed, just now! There was a tremor in the complex net of supernatural speed that wrapped the world! The way to the depths of time has been opened.

I don't know if the backflash ruined it, but we're running out of time!

We must go in immediately.

No matter what is hidden there, it cannot be obtained by Reverse Flash. "

"us?"

Mason raised his eyebrows and said:

"That's the area built by the Speed ​​Force, Barry, only you can go in. Although I'm also very interested in it, I can't get in touch."

"you can!"

Barry gritted his teeth and said:

"You can use Superman's blood to turn yourself into temporary Superman, can't you? I need your power, and I'll give you blood mixed with a sample of the Speed ​​Force.

Do something, Mason!

I have to hold back the flashback in that time maze, and someone has to decipher the truth.

If possible, I certainly hope that Batman or Da Chao will accompany me.

But now, I can now believe that the only one who has a choice is you, and I really shouldn't say this, but if Bruce trusts you, then I can trust you too.

quick!

There is no time to waste. "
