Chapter 462: Secrets of the Past (Part 2)

"Doomsday, isn't this name too strange?"

"It means exactly what it says. The day he appears will be the day of doom for the entire earth and even the entire universe."

Bruce and Lex felt their hearts stop for a moment, especially Bruce. After he walked over, he looked straight into Schiller's eyes and said, "Don't you have any solution?"

"I'm not sure." Schiller gave an ambiguous answer, but Bruce was obviously not satisfied with the answer, but he didn't ask again, because he was not a person who pinned his hopes on others.

"What is his weakness?"

"I don't know, maybe there is no weakness." Schiller gave another desperate answer, but at this time, Clark's steady and resolute voice sounded:

"Impossible, everything in this world must have weaknesses, maybe I can deal with him..."

"Maybe you can kill him once, but when he appears again, the first weakness will no longer exist."

"Will he evolve?" Bruce instinctively grasped the key in Schiller's words.

"Yes, but..." Schiller deliberately dragged out the tone, and everyone looked at him. He said, "But it seems that someone has already given a solution."

As he spoke, he walked a little closer and looked at the egg.

The eggshell of this egg is opaque, so you can't see the situation inside, but you can see that the whole egg is trembling slightly, as if it has a heartbeat, but it beats very slowly.

"Will kryptonite affect it?" Schiller said to himself, and then he looked up at the strange devices that emit kryptonite light, and he said, "...What kind of formation is this?"

"It seems that someone has used a method to seal this egg?" Lex also stepped forward, his brain was constantly thinking, and then Bruce followed. Although his eyes were solemn, they also contained a hint of curiosity.

"The situation is not as dangerous as I described, because the monster has not hatched yet, and someone has found a way to suppress the egg."

"But he will eventually hatch, right?"

Schiller looked at Bruce with a scrutinizing look, because he recalled a law of the DC universe.

All DC universes are divided into light and dark. In the dark universe, everything is sliding down unstoppably, that is, all bad things are bound to happen.

If this is the dark universe, then this egg will probably hatch soon, but before that, the laughing egg in Bruce's body not only did not hatch, but was also killed by Schiller using the righteous group fight method, and finally was listed by the parallax monster.

This shows that the probability of this universe being a dark universe is not very high, but there may be powerful villains in the light universe.

Doomsday is actually Superman's nemesis. In the famous comic of the Death of Superman, it was he who killed Superman.

The comic "The Death of Superman" has a relatively complicated historical background. At that time, DC was not doing well, and they needed some gimmicks to attract more fans to buy their comics. So, they planned to destroy one of their most famous superheroes, Superman.

In order to create enough gimmicks, this comic was named "The Death of Superman". In order to achieve the purpose of killing Superman, Doomsday was set to be very strong. He defeated the Justice League except Superman with one hand, and even pulled the running Flash out of the Speed ​​Force.

After running to Apokolips, he took a burst of Daxed's Omega rays but didn't die. Later, he developed the ability of Doomsday spores, and finally infected Superman to create Doomsday Superman.

In short, it is an absurdly strong villain, just like all the villains created in a hurry, although the ability setting is unreasonable. However, the background setting is almost equal to nothing.

Schiller thought that it seems that in this universe, the origin story of Doomsday is a bit complicated, and it is not the product of the Kryptonian scientist's slip of the hand.

In the comics, when Doomsday appeared, he was already in his perfect form. The perfect Doomsday was not completely invincible. Schiller had some ways to defeat him or seal him up, but since Doomsday often resurrected in the comics and seemed not to die completely, Schiller had no confidence in being able to kill him completely.

However, the Doomsday that appeared here now was an egg, which gave Schiller some other ideas.

At this time, Bruce discovered some details. He walked to the wall of the underground cave and touched the slightly wet rock with his hand. He said: "From the state of the rock, this place should have been excavated decades ago, at least 20 or 30 years ago..."

He said to himself: "What happened then?"

"So, what happened afterwards?" In the corridor of the manor, Kayla looked at Alfred and asked.

"When I learned that the force called the Court of Owls might want to create a terrible monster to rule the entire Gotham, I had to consider the harm of this monster."

"If an uncontrolled super monster is created, it may threaten not only the United States, but also all humans living on the earth. Those crazy people may not care, but I can't."

"So, I found Falcone and told him my intention. At first, he was unwilling to believe me, but he had no other choice..."

"Why?"

"Because, in Gotham, people who can do equations are considered rare species, and I graduated from the Department of Mathematics at Cambridge University..."

Kayla was silent. She thought of what she had seen and heard in Gotham before, and felt that what Alfred said was not exaggerated.

"Of course, there is another reason. Although Falcone and Daniel noticed all this, they had very few sources of intelligence because they were not professional agents and could not get much information. At that time, they did not even know the name of the Court of Owls."

"And I am a professional agent who can investigate this matter for them. So, the three of us reached an agreement and started to cooperate. In the end, we caused some trouble, but we still got the egg."

"Oh, I remember that the file said that there seemed to be a lot of vicious incidents in Gotham during that period. The FBI went to investigate, but also lost a lot of manpower. , some of them have glimpsed some mysterious phenomena, so the case has become more and more mysterious..."

"Yes, that group of people is not easy to deal with, and we have paid a heavy price. For this reason, Falcone firmly does not allow the egg to be sealed in Gotham, because Gotham is his territory."

"So you chose Metropolis?"

"This egg has been in our hands for a long time, and we have not found a reasonable way to deal with it."

The limelight had passed by that time, and I could have set off again to return to Moscow, but at this time, Moscow sent me news that Kim Philby had escaped and he had returned to Moscow."

"Although I have some understanding of the style of MI6, this matter is still beyond my expectations. Obviously, since Philby himself has successfully escaped, this list is not so important to Moscow, and there is no need to bring it back across the ocean. "

"However, this list is still very important to other countries, because if the Soviet Union has it, they must also have it, otherwise they will always lag behind. Therefore, the news of Philby's escape did not reduce the importance of the list in the eyes of various countries. On the contrary, they were even more crazy to find where the list was to obtain information equivalent to that of the Soviet Union. "

"The Soviet Union does not need it, but other countries do. In fact, the best way is to find a place to hide it, so I hid it in Gotham, and after this period of limelight passed, I returned to Moscow first to seek a way to solve the egg, but..."

"In the end, I returned to the UK."

"About a dozen years later, my father asked me to inherit the position of hereditary butler and go to the Wayne family to become their butler. At that time. I told Moscow the news, and they thought it was a good opportunity. After all, the Wayne family is the richest family on the East Coast and even in the United States..."

"So, at the beginning, you were performing a covert mission in the Wayne family?"

"Yes, but then something happened, and the Waynes died. "Alfred looked a little sad. He said, "The young master is the only one left. I have to raise him up."

"At that time, I had planned to give up the career of an agent."

Kayla nodded to show that she understood. She said, "Many people think that agents should always be loyal to their goals, but we are also human beings and have feelings. We are not machines that complete tasks..."

Alfred shook his head and said, "My feelings for the young master are not entirely the reason why I want to give up the career of an agent..."

"Then what other reasons are there?"

Alfred was silent. His expression showed a hint of hesitation. He seemed to be unsure whether he should say this, but in the end, he still said, "You are still young and have not experienced much, so you can't feel her changes..."

"Who?"

"The Soviet Union."

Kayla wanted to ask more, but Alfred chose to keep silent. After a while of silence, Alfred spoke again. His voice was no longer so full of energy, but his old age was clearly revealed.

"Perhaps, I am a shameful deserter, or perhaps, I just don't want to face some cruel facts again. "

"It may also be that I knew I couldn't stay rational when facing the deterioration of those great ideals and glorious years..."

"But in the end, I chose to say goodbye to the past completely."

"When I returned to Gotham and became the housekeeper of the Wayne family, Falcone told me that they had properly handled the egg. I don't know the specific process, but in the end, the egg was placed underground in the Metropolitan Manor."

"Falcone told me that at first, they just found a place outside of Gotham and put the egg there, but later, they found a fallen alien mineral that seemed to be able to suppress the life activities of the egg very well, so they transformed it into a huge seal."

Kayla frowned and asked, "Is this seal strong?"

"We can only say that the time for the monster to hatch can be postponed. We still have no idea how to destroy this monster."

Alfred put down the shotgun in his hand, propped the muzzle on the ground, looked out the window and said, "This is why I asked Bruce to come here. One of the reasons. "

"In the guest list you gave me, I saw the name of the professor. I know that he is not an ordinary person and has the ability to ensure the safety of everyone. I raised Bruce and I know how amazing his wisdom is..."

"If there is only one way in the world to crack the secret of this mysterious monster and destroy it, I believe that the combination of these two people will be the best answer."

At this time, Schiller, who was meditating in the underground cave, heard the voice of gray fog in his mind:

"Food! A lot of food! Eat!"

"Food? Where does the food come from?" Schiller asked puzzledly.

"Green stone, so fragrant! Let me take a bite!"

"Green stone..." Schiller turned his head and looked at the kryptonite device closest to him, and asked in surprise:

"You eat kryptonite???"

"Yeah! It smells delicious!"

"Why didn't you say it outside before?"

"That one is not delicious, only the one here is delicious!"

"But the kryptonite here is used to seal this egg..."

"I'm hungry! I've been hungry for a long time! I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat!"

Bruce, who was studying the rock formation nearby, found that Schiller's eyes looking at the egg suddenly became a little strange.
