The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 736 34. Wrestling with God

"I saw Doom extract the wreckage of Krakow Island with my own eyes in Utopia. At that time, I thought I had a glimpse of the whole picture of the doom star. I thought you were using the essence of various dead worlds to create an immortal world. Astral body, in order to protect the core members of the council through the changing era.

It turns out I was oversimplifying this.

In other words, I can't imagine why the wisdom of so many of you would choose such a seemingly safe but extremely risky project.

I still have a lot of doubts about this, for example, you have cycled in Doujie thirteen times, has this Star of Doom been reshaped here for thirteen times?
I know from Doom that this thing is actually a marking core used to rewind the sacred timeline, right? "

In the facility where the Star of the End has been activated, Mason stood beside Tony Zero, looking at the list of tens of thousands of various data that appeared on the super-large screen of the optical projection in front of him. The function monitoring of the circulation device on the Doom Star, these data are constantly beating, which means that the entire device has entered the second half of activation.

It is difficult to stop it, unless Mason can destroy the entire planet in an instant.

To be honest, it is not impossible, but simply destroying is meaningless. The plan of the council has never been based on the star in front of them, but on a powerful guy hiding in their shadows.

If the captain wanted to solve the problem thoroughly, he couldn't just blow up everything he saw in front of his eyes.

In the face of his question, Tony No. [-] was no longer a riddler. He held a coffee cup, looked at the various data that kept beating in front of him, and said:
"Your original guess can't be wrong. Although the sacred timeline was still in a relatively complete state when the theoretical basis of the entire circulation system was proposed, we thought of the worst case when setting up this system.

Once the sacred timeline breaks or is too fragile to withstand such a large-scale time regression, then this star of the end will indeed be used as the doomsday ark to survive the change of eras.

It itself is strong enough and has the dual characteristics of death and rebirth on a symbolic level, which makes it more likely than other worlds to survive the end of the cosmic era.

At this point, you do guess part of the truth, but it doesn't work that way under normal circumstances.

The end world you have seen has collected the world characteristics of more than 500 extinct stars, and the lowest evaluation of its world power system is at level A, which is the essence of the essence in the parallel world system.

Having these world characteristics can ensure that these essence worlds will be restored to their 'alive' state after the cycle is actually started, just like when you complete the computer system reinstallation, it is a reason to transfer important files to the safe partition in advance .

So the Last Star was actually only cast this time.

What you see at this time is the real complete form, and only such a complete star of the end can bear the ability to pull the entire universe back to the source point at the timeline level.

The previous thirteen cycles were just simulations of reality, although in the fighting world, there is not much difference between fake and real.

I just watched the Council of Hope fail thirteen times. The only difference is that the first twelve times were self-defeating, and the last time was defeated by you who represent hope and the future in reality. "

"Ok?"

Mason blinked in surprise and said:

"So, there are actually loopholes in your technology. There may be 'random packet loss' during this cycle? That's why you need to use the Doom Star as the cycle anchor point of important stars?"

"almost."

Tony Zero took a sip of his coffee and said:
"Although the previous thirteen cycles only happened in Doujie, every time the cycle is started, it will still cause huge disturbances in time and space at the entire universe level.

In this process, it is inevitable that the rules of some marginal planes will be disrupted, causing them to disappear instantly like deleted data, and occasionally some 'outside things' will be involved in this system.

Like those Spartan interstellar wanderers from the Tenth Fleet, or the Laughing Bat you faced, they were all accidentally pulled into our closed universe when a certain cycle started.

There are quite a lot of things like this. After all, you can always see strange and small-probability events in thirteen consecutive cycles. From these past experiences, it is not difficult to conclude that once the universe-wide retrospective takes effect, the entire sacred timeline will be severely damaged or even destroyed. Causes space-time chaos at the cosmic level, so the End Star must be cast to this scale.

The characteristics of more than 500 essence worlds are enough to maintain the entire parallel world system from collapsing too much when the cycle starts.

But I really didn't expect that such a small probability event would actually bring the hope of breaking the situation. The cosmic tuning fork hidden by the Laughing Bat completely reversed the bad situation we are facing.

The Council actually had the key, but they didn't realize it, and finally let the key of hope fall into your hands. "

"You can speak more clearly."

Mason rubbed his eyebrows and said:
"Dum has just announced with full confidence that he will adopt my method after the start of this first major cycle, and rationally use the universe tuning fork as the main body of the new plan from the very beginning.

If his ideas can be implemented, then perhaps when the first impact occurs, the entire parallel world system can survive the disaster that covers the universe without any risk.

There is no need for a second impact. With the wisdom of you people gathered together, it may take a few months to reshape the universe to the change of the era, and then everyone will join hands and sing songs to enter the new world together.

Although I hate Doom.

But I have to admit that that guy is really good at drawing cakes, and even I can't help but imagine such a future. "

"He had a good idea, but in fact the chances of success with such a plan are basically zero, because it's not going to go according to his ideas or my ideas.

Even if the cycle does start as we expected, I will tell you that nothing will change.

The stars will still be born, your home world will still die, the dark expansion of the council will proceed step by step, and the entire stars will come to an end and despair again like a tragic fate.

If there is really a creator watching all this, then I guess that the creator probably likes to watch tragedies recently. "

Tony Zero snorted.

He glanced at the time, and it was time for the Star of the End to set sail, and the time was returning to zero bit by bit, so he put down the coffee cup in his hand and said to Mason:

"You think I'm alarmist, don't you? Then let me tell you what made me decide to personally put an end to the final plan that we all were preparing for the end.

When it all started, we were like toddlers struggling to survive the apocalypse step by step.

At that time, everyone was very unskilled.

Insufficient technology, resources, and experience made it impossible for the Doom Star to even complete the construction of even the core area, which directly led to major problems in the previous simulation loop backtracking.

We can't even keep a complete memory. We can only record important discoveries over and over again, and then repeat the same mistakes. Relying on fragmented memories, everyone keeps modifying plans to accumulate technological reserves. It was not until the fifth cycle that we made the first one. An effective planetary shield survived the second impact.

It was also from then on that the construction of the Doom Star really got on the right track.

We formed Fox's Nest, and went to great lengths to build and preserve the database before your eyes to store the collective wisdom.

Since the sixth simulation cycle, we have tried to use various methods to preserve the "data" of the entire parallel world system as perfectly as possible. In fact, if we just linger to enter the next era, then we can already do it in the seventh cycle. Arrived, but also at that time, I discovered a serious problem.

A problem that can destroy all our efforts. "

Tony Zero sighed, waving his finger and drawing a circle in the air, he said:

"I found that the cycle cannot be terminated. Even if we want to, we can no longer interfere with the automatic operation of the entire system. We are trapped in the cycle of backtracking again and again.

Perhaps this plan has loopholes that we have not discovered from the beginning, perhaps the sacred timeline has been damaged at key nodes in the continuous backtracking, or it is simply a punishment from time.

In short, the cycle has become a nightmare of disaster and doom.

Either the council system is destroyed by the shock and forces it to restart the cycle, or we have to find the key to the problem in this cycle and solve it.

Since I am in the core area of ​​the circulation system, I am responsible for maintaining it, so I will not be affected by the memory collapse caused by repeated restarts, which allows me to go back to the source to find the problem secretly.

But it turns out that my worst guess was correct. The loop system codenamed "Star of the End" did have loopholes from the very beginning. Once the loop is enlarged to the cosmic level, this loophole will not disappear suddenly.

It just drags everything into a hopeless situation.

By 'hole' I mean Dr. Manhattan.

Or in your words, Dr. Bluebird. "

He looked at the frowning Mason, shrugged helplessly, and said:

"We chose Dr. Manhattan as the core of the Doomsday Star project. He has the ability to change the universe regardless of time, and we made a device similar to a brain wave amplifier for him, which can strengthen his influence on the sacred timeline. He stays in the star of the end to promote the backtracking cycle of Doujie again and again.

This is to accumulate experience for the great cycle that expands to the entire universe after the star of the end sets sail.

But we ignore that the doctor is also a living body, and that he can complete this work perfectly does not mean that he will not change his mentality after witnessing our struggle time and time again.

He gradually changed from being conscientious at the beginning, and began to consciously manipulate the process of the retrospective cycle. The memory loss of other people after each cycle of the fighting world is his fault. According to our design, the star of the end There will be no memory loss in the loop.

Someone deliberately erased it and stole our precious self-help time.

I didn't tell other people this horrible truth, fearing that it would discourage them from trying to find the perfect solution in these apocalyptic times.

Actually I can't tip off, I'm stuck here, and Dr. Manhattan keeps an eye on me.

I guess I couldn't hide my discovery from him at all.

I can only try to convey what happened here to the outside world without arousing his disgust as much as possible. However, I don't even know what I am expecting. "

"So, you sent Rorschach's diary?"

Mason asked:

"That's how you ask for help from the outside world?"

"No, my choice is to create Tyrant Tony and ask Doom for help."

Tony Zero shook his head and said:
"I once wanted him to unite those who are unwilling to waste their lives in a cycle of despair in the outside world to resist the guy who presided over all this, but after the tyrant Tony was sent to the outside world, the memory of this place was completely erased Go and become a free conqueror commander.

as for doom
He knows what's in front of us but he doesn't think it's a problem, he thinks we haven't found the perfect solution yet, he thinks if we find a way it will all end.

He trusted his own wisdom too much and thought I was worrying unfoundedly. He believed that the first great cycle was both the starting point and the point, both destruction and new life.

As for Rorschach's diary, it was just an accident.

It was a near-impossible miracle to be replicated by Molecule Man and Detective Rorschach. I saw this detail and gave a little help.

But Rorschach chose to come alone, and he should have brought more people.

Fortunately, there is also a fixed time flow in the fighting world that is not affected by the outside world so that he did not lose his life. To tell you the truth, I am actually already desperate.

I know nothing can change the continuation of the cycle, and the sacred timeline has withered and broken to the point where it can no longer withstand the pressure of the cycle going back.

I can only watch helplessly as we continue to repeat all the mistakes of the previous thirteen simulations in the material world until we perish together with the entire galaxy at the last moment in the replacement of the era.

But at this moment, you appeared.

You made a difference, can you imagine the excitement and joy I felt when I found you?

Like a thirteenth-repeated rehearsal of a theatrical rehearsal when a dissonant cacophony suddenly breaks out on the actual stage, and it undoubtedly spoils the show, but that's all we need right now.

You found Rorschach's diary, and deduced the clues from it. You didn't indulge in pure pursuit, but made all preparations in advance before stepping into the fighting world. "

Tony Zero breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It means we can finally end this."

"But why would he do that?"

Mason asked:
"Dr. Manhattan should have voluntarily participated in your plan. As a person who can see the future at a glance, he should have understood his responsibilities before joining. What made him change?"

"I don't know why he did that, but I can probably guess that his mentality changed, it was bored after seeing the destruction that was bound to happen, and wanted to keep us in the process of everything that can be changed so that we don't have to. Worry about the harsh reality.

He is like a high god, observing the collapse of hope and the arrival of the end time and time again. He was not interested in the real circular regression, perhaps because he already knew that it would not work at all. "

Tony Zero said with a sense of loss:

"But what's even more frightening is that I thought that Dr. Manhattan's indifference and observation were enough to make people desperate, but when he really took active actions to help us, I realized that I was already desperate.

Remember what I told you last time?
His God-like continued aloof observation is the best thing for us right now, which means you can push the neo-utopian project all the way to the outcome you want to see.

However, he started to act.

He may have seen the difference you made to the stars, and decided to bring the simulation loop to life, extending your victories to past and future.

He genuinely wanted to help us fix the problem at its source, but unfortunately this led to unpredictable results.

A helping hand from the gods will completely bury the victory that we mortals have worked so hard to get this far. I have given up guessing his thoughts.

The thoughts of the gods are too changeable. He can decide to help us because of you, or he may choose to destroy us in the future. We have no means to check and balance the gods except prayer, so we should not pray to him from the beginning. Intervene and intervene.

I just have one request right now.

end it!
Bury this doomstar plan that should never have appeared from the beginning. "

He reached out and patted Mason's shoulder, and said with a smile:
"And this is the trouble you have to face, Mr. Mason, you have come here and you are about to meet that Dr. Bluebird, maybe you can pry open his defenses by turning everything around.

I guess he's looking forward to seeing you now too, I've told you all about it, so come on man, do what you gotta do.

Let the entire star sea not have to go through the torment of the hopeless cycle to be truly liberated, and move forward proudly into the next era with the attitude you expect. "

Mason nodded.

He glanced at the instruments around him whose computing speed had been raised to the limit, and the radiance emitted by the entire Star of Doom on the periphery of the star reached its peak, like a ignited star.

After thirteen simulation cycles, the real cosmic cycle plan is about to begin.

The characteristics of the world stored on this planet are about to be sent back to the past time, just like the actors before a performance are in place, performing the last curtain call performance on the reopened curtain and stage.

"Your cancer came from your frequent contact with Dr. Manhattan, right?"

Mason said:
"When you see the magical existence of Dr. Blue Bird's quantum state, you should know not to get so close to him. After the death of the tyrant Tony, I extracted a little biological information and studied it, but this thing can't be cured, sorry .”

"Nothing to be sorry about."

Tony Zero waved his hands very optimistically and said:

"I'm dead anyway, 17 years later, at your hands, which means I don't do anything, and there's no way this cancer can kill me in 17 years.

But I don’t want to waste the last time of my life watching another script that I’m already tired of. I concealed that he made my own resistance, sent the message in seven cycles and waited for you .

Everything I should do, everything I can do is done.

So if you really want to help me, stop him, I don't believe in saviors, but it turns out there are some things that probably only you can do.

We all have our mission, now it's up to you to complete it.

Whether it is persuasion or defeat.

I've been wrestling with God for so long and I'm exhausted and it's time for you to end it all, sorry I leave you with the mess we've made.

But don't worry.

After everything is over, I will die in apology, um, die again after I die, and then embrace true liberation and freedom. "
