Chapter 137 Chapter 137
While Hercule was talking to Umbrax, the Void Wind was always controlling Doomsday, keeping it in a continuous process of learning and evolution.
Doomsday saw the death scenes of countless people, in no particular order of time, including superheroes and ordinary people.
In the first scene, the plague spread by Apokolips was raging in the city. A woman named May Parker stepped forward to establish a rescue station in the crisis. Unfortunately, she was infected with the disease and was dying. When the demonoid army invaded, the streets of New York were full of chaos. She asked her only relative, Peter Parker, to hide in the rescue station, but the latter turned around and put on Spider-Man uniform and jumped out of the window.
It's a pity that Hercule is busy squeezing the sun at the moment, otherwise he would find out that the neighbor's kid is a famous superhero in the universe next door.
——The brainwashing packages put out by the Wind of the Void to promote the evolution of Doomsday were all generated by it unconsciously based on the timeline of the Abnormal Universe. Even Hercule didn’t know what kind of historical fragments it could capture, so they Chaos, no order, no sense.
The next development vividly illustrates what it means that good people may not necessarily be rewarded: Spider-Man went through a hard battle and used spider silk to hang the leader of Darkseid's army on the top of the Avengers Tower, but he himself was exhausted. The skyscraper fell from above and hit the incoming Apokolips army. May Parker, who had just undergone surgery in the ward, felt something. She closed her eyes and listened to the news and suddenly choked up.
As the scene turned, Doomsday saw Wonder Woman holding the red cape left behind by Superman with one hand, putting it on one of her shoulders, pinned the batarang to her side, and walked toward Daredevil with her head held high and her sword in hand. Xaid.
The female warrior's heroic and beautiful face was mixed with blood and tears, and she held her sword forward with the momentum of a man in charge: "It's not over yet, Dark Lord, my brothers and sisters and I will fight until the last moment."
However, looking at the battlefield, there were only ruins and ruins. The collapsed buildings stretched from her feet to several miles away. The exposed iron bones and steel bars were filled with heroic epics that ended suddenly. Darkseid sneered contemptuously and slapped them, as if asking: Is this the tombstone where the bones of your comrades are buried?
Then the invincible enemy suddenly disappeared.
Doomsday saw the ordinary people and super humans who were fighting side by side just now began to fight with each other with swords for some unknown reason, and the latter quickly fell into a disadvantage. The android army responsible for destroying mutant genes surrounded their opponents, and ugly war broke out in the beautiful X Academy.
The young people with nowhere to go crowded around the lake in panic. Cyclops, who was responsible for cutting off the back, gave the red-haired woman next to him a hug and said softly: "You go first, Qin, and take the children to find Professor X. Don't worry about me."
As expected, the turquoise lake water was dyed red, and Doomsday looked away without interest.
After the story of the mutants ended, it saw 'Pepper Little' Virginia Potts and her underage daughter Morgan Stark standing in a country cabin that should have been deserted, in the jungle not far away at this moment. There was a fierce exchange of fire. The black widow broke through the window and stared at her old friend like a hawk——
Pepper grabbed her daughter's shoulders tightly and asked, "Can I trust you, Natasha?"
Black Widow responded without hesitation: "You can always trust me."
"Then take Morgan and I'll hold off Hydra."
Black Widow stared deeply at Pepper, held Morgan in her arms and turned to leave. Pepper, who was left behind, used a suit key that Tony had given her to activate the weapon, and pointed the muzzle in front of her with unfamiliar movements. The army that came to eradicate the weeds.
The leader of the Hydra team said: "Stop struggling, Virginia Potts, I know you are not the real owner of this armor. Iron Man is dead."
"He's still here." In the wilderness, the armor that had lagged behind the times turned the engine to the maximum. Pepper flew into the air and looked down at the enemy. With tears in his eyes at the mention of his lover's departure, his voice was very calm, " I am Iron Man."
…
The Wind of the Void seems to have an internal logic. It believes that the images of these people's sacrifices can inspire Doomsday and allow it to evolve to a new level. But Doomsday not only couldn't understand it, but also felt a little angry in the cycle that tended to be repetitive and illogical - it was powerful because of its immortality, but all the species in the universe fought hard because they were born with a limit. If life It ends on the eve of dawn, so what's the point?
It struggled to wake up from the illusion, but the Void Wind was like a teacher who noticed that his students were too stupid, and changed the subject of the picture without abandoning or giving up.
The object they describe becomes Hercule.
——Doomsday noticed that the detectives in the Strange Universe often put a lot of time and energy into a trivial matter.
He can go deep into the underground that everyone talks about in order to find a cat, cross half the planet to deliver a letter, set foot in the wasteland for an ordinary clue, and face Argos for a conjecture that is difficult to tell whether it is true or false. He didn't care about sunk costs, gains or losses, and put life and death aside, so that in the end, everyone who stood on his opposite side felt deep fear, as if they were facing an incomprehensible madman.
Why are you doing this?
Do you never think about your own fate?
Don't you know that your efforts will not be rewarded at all?
Is it necessary to do this step? Is it really worth it? ?
Throughout the ages, everyone has known how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Why was it that only Hercule Hugo did not apply this rule? !
To the question that puzzled the detective's opponents, Doomsday was able to figure out the answer intuitively:
The bottom line is that there is no option of death in front of him.
This is what it has in common with Hercule Hugo.
Maybe it picked the wrong opponent. Doomsday, who repeats the process of being killed, resurrected, stronger, and killing enemies every day, is tired of the monotonous ending. Therefore, it has a strong interest in the detective in the story - in its view, if human beings with limited life are chasing the real sun, but die before the light comes, then Hercules has already transcended death. , what you are chasing is just the shadow of the sun in the destined outcome.
**
While Doomsday was philosophizing, the never-ending hurricane was finally going to blow away the haze in the universe.
The Black Sun is dying. Contrary to its sluggish state, its body has expanded to dozens of times its original size, almost filling the empty space in the upside-down world. Astronomers who were around would have realized that this abnormal imbalance caused by fuel exhaustion is exactly the sign that a star is nearing the end of its life.
Umbrax was not willing to give in. It tried to gather strength to escape several times, but was either blocked by the wind of the void or failed to escape due to lack of energy. Later, the wounds caused by the impact of the Ark in the mental world gradually appeared on its body, making it as bumpy as the moon, and even scattering occurred on the surface.
It began to seek help from everything in this embryonic universe, to the ‘unbelief’ as the canopy, and to the ‘black apple’ at the bottom of the abyss.
But none of them responded to it, because forces without emotional entities do not know what death is.
Finally, Umbrax fell into despair. It yelled and cursed Hercule: "I am the first conscious life form born in this dark universe. I curse you in the name of Umbrax, Hercule Hugo! I curse you to die helplessly in the apocalypse as the last conscious being in the universe!"
Hercule ignored it, activated the Void Wind skill to the maximum, and used all his strength to wrap it up.
——He completely swallowed the Black Sun into his body and entered into a digestion process of mutual torture.
On the other side, Superman's expression changed slightly, and he keenly noticed that Doomsday took this opportunity to break free from the control of the Void Wind.
But it did not take action immediately. Instead, it looked at the battlefield with an unprecedented, faintly pensive expression. After a while, it traveled a certain distance in the direction of the Black Sun, and Superman immediately flew over to stop it:
"Your opponent is me."
The Doomsday did not stop, so the first child born on Krypton and the last son of Krypton once again struggled together.
Superman's strength can be said to be at its peak so far, and Doomsday's power seems to have no limit, just like those ancient creatures that grew wildly and were huge in size on the earth. The two of them attacked with all their strength with the goal of killing each other. Fortunately, this was not in the real universe, otherwise countless planets would have been affected.
A quarter of an hour later, Superman kills Doomsday.
Then another quarter of an hour later, Doomsday woke up.
It was still thinking about a certain problem, and while immersed in its thoughts, it flew towards the wind of void.
Superman stops it from approaching.
Hercule devoted himself wholeheartedly to the process of digesting the Black Sun, completely unaware of a tragic and shocking battle taking place not far behind him.
Doomsday is dead again.
Then it comes to life again without price and without exception.
When it stood in front of Superman with its extremely perfect body, Superman gasped silently and asked himself: Should I kill it for the third time?
can you?
…
The shadow of the Doomsday hung over his head. After a moment, contrary to the intact body, it slowly turned around bit by bit and flew towards Hercule with heavy and ragged steps.
For it there is an answer to the end of evolution.
**
[You successfully swallowed the spiritual body of [Black Sun] Umbrax, and your inspiration attribute is permanently increased by 100%. 】
[Inspiration: 59 (It’s better not to understand the vastness of this world)]
[You feel physically and mentally comfortable and have unprecedented satisfaction, your sanity value will be +50%, and your sanity value recovery speed will be +50% in the next 24 hours. 】
[You have been cursed by the Black Sun and acquired the negative status: Suspicion]
[A major change in the plot line has been detected, and the main mission is being updated. Please pay attention to the system's follow-up announcements for specific content. Everything will be subject to the official launch. I wish players a happy game and thank you for your cooperation. 】
Hercule quickly checked through the system notifications. Before he had time to think about it, he went to check the situation of Doomsday and Superman. Thanks to the precious time that Superman tried his best to delay, the process of killing Umbrax by the Void Wind was long but without too many twists and turns. Now he can finally free his hands to see if he can bring Doomsday with him. Walk.
As a result, Hercule was greatly shocked after watching the short surround sound 3D cinema video played by the Wind of the Void. Because when the Void Wind controlled Doomsday, the two established a mental synaesthesia, and he was actually able to understand the thoughts of this killing machine.
Day of destruction! What did you figure out from this mess? !
The so-called "chasing is just the shadow of the sun in the destined result"... Of course, players can play games to achieve the happy ending, which is reasonable. Does anyone think that it is boring to grind side quests to get achievements? Well, there may be many, but Hercule is definitely not one of them.
However, to go further, in addition to being satisfied with the story, the most important thing for Hercule to do side quests is that he needs the reward of the quest to achieve the goal - that is, to achieve the perfect ending of the main quest better and easier. This ending must be in line with his own philosophy, otherwise it will be classified as official shit feeding, and players will greet their ancestors and give bad reviews.
And Doomsday... It has never had similar ideas.
It has to be said that it is a bit sad.
Even so, Hercule has never had any sympathy for Doomsday, nor has he changed the ending set for Doomsday. He wants Doomsday to evolve to a certain level so that he can kill it quickly. Now, the work of promoting Doomsday's evolution has been achieved by Superman by mistake. If Hercule suddenly decides to let it go, wouldn't it be a shame for the superhero's hard work?
He mercilessly wrapped Doomsday into the vortex formed by the storm.
Perhaps only when the other party completely lost his life would he understand that the difference between him and Hercule was ultimately human nature.
As an immortal monster born as a killing machine, it actually only lacked this one thing.
**
Doomsday was dead.
The whole process was neat and tidy, without any endless follow-up. The emptiness, confusion and regret that only monsters could understand, with its death, only left a little trace in Hercule's heart. After its corpse became space junk floating in the upside-down world, Hercule immediately took off the plug-in of the Void Wind through the system.
Although the upper limit of the sanity value has dropped, the rapidly recovered value still brings a sense of security.
The Void Wind had no thoughts, and once it was free, it temporarily found a corner to hide. Facts have proved that Loki's idea of using Doomsday to restrain the Void Wind might be feasible, but it is basically impossible to directly extinguish the original power of the universe. Even after the annihilation of the Black Sun, only the emotional entity disappeared, and its essence, the "invisible spectrum", turned into countless stars visible to the naked eye, dotted on the sky of the Upside Down World.
Hercule has not figured out how to deal with them for the time being, so he simply put them aside, because there are more urgent problems to be solved now:
He and Superman can't get out of the Upside Down World.
The Mechanical Heart is in the real universe, and only Hercule can use it.
And he was taken away by the Void Wind, Superman who gained power followed Doomsday into the Upside Down World, and the gate closed when the five minutes were up. These three things happened one after another, leaving no chance for people to react. Until this moment, the helpless detective and the wounded Superman stood under the green tree in Metropolis and stared at each other. Both of them could not help but feel the despair of Robinson when he drifted to the desert island.
On the bright side, the Upside Down Universe is an embryonic universe that has not yet fully developed.
This means that if the two of them cultivate here for 13 billion years, they may be able to see monkeys born on Earth.
...
How did things turn out like this! !
Hercule began to flip through the system panel to find a solution, and Superman tried to punch the air, hoping to break the origin wall with great force. The revolutionary friendship between the two of them quickly heated up under the witness of Metropolis. Finally, it didn't take 13 billion years or a day. After just one hour, the energy fluctuations of the mechanical heart appeared around the two.
The scars of bloody flesh appeared on the wall of a residential house, and many messy voices mixed with ecstasy and excitement came from outside:
"Success! They are here! !"
