[Zhongyingmei] An alien cub fell from the sky

Jonathan was also stunned for a while, and then he sorted out the timeline.

The key point is the Flash. Barry Allen, the Flash, at the beginning wanted to save his dead mother, and inadvertently created the Flashpoint world, a world that could be broken at any time.

Afterwards, Barry realized his mistake, caught up with and stopped his past self in the field of speed force, the flashpoint world disappeared, and a new world was born, which is where Jonathan and the others are now, where the Apocalypse war is about to break out world.

This world is indeed very different from the Flashpoint world. The Flashpoint world is fundamentally unstable, and it will collapse soon if left alone.And the world is very stable, and it can actually go on after the crisis.It's just... no one had the courage to continue on, so they chose to restart The Flash.

In theory, as long as Jonathan and the others can help win the Apocalypse War and kill Darkseid, the world can continue to maintain normality and stability without a tragic fate and a restart.

However, the problem is that the world Jonathan and the others live in is exactly the world after the restart of this world.

For example, if the world is compared to a galgame, then the current situation is that the opening option is wrong, and then the whole game cannot continue, so I go back to the main interface, delete the original save file, and then open a new one.

The archive that was deleted was Flashpoint World.

The newly opened archive was going on normally, but halfway through the game, because a plot kill was not handled well, so BadEnd was played, and the player could not continue playing, so he had to force open the second week.

Act II inherited the world view and characters from the previous archive, but did not retain much data, only one Flash left some memories.The current situation is that the characters of the second week, that is, Jonathan and the others, were suddenly transferred by some force to the key decision-making point of the first week, so they have the opportunity to change "history" and reverse BadEnd into HappyEnd.

Only in this way, the conditions for plot killing and forcing the second-week goal will not be formed, and whether the second-week goal data archive can still exist has become an unknown.

"The grandmother paradox." Bruce stared down at the console. "It's a time travel theory. If a time traveler goes back in time and kills his grandmother, will he still exist? But if he doesn't exist, then No one can kill his grandmother, and he should exist, thus forming a paradox. What we are facing now is not an individual, but the grandmother paradox of the whole world..."

Batman has always had countless backup plans, but these plans cannot surpass his own cognition after all.Before that, Bruce always thought that what they were doing was just a parallel universe travel in the space latitude, and never thought that this would be time travel.

In theory, doing nothing now is the best option for them.After Jonathan retrieves Jason's soul and takes everyone away, the world will be destroyed "normally", and then the Flash restarts the world, and they act as if nothing happened, because that's how it is.Everything is fine, except that The Flash doesn't know if he can go back with them, or if he won't be able to go back until the world is restarted.

If only I'd never known, Bruce couldn't help but start thinking about it.

If they don't know anything, they are completely blameless for doing so.Of course, it's the same now, because it's none of their business.But... it is very difficult for them to pass their own test if they know that the whole world is about to be destroyed.

"Maybe it's not that bad?" Clark raised a possibility, "Perhaps, with different timelines, the time-space continuity of the entire world is inherently parallel, and this world does not constitute a world that is already an established reality." Any connection, that we're still standing here, is good proof?"

Clark's idea comes from another theory of parallel universes. Under this theory, every tiny change will generate endless parallel universes, so each universe is different, and there is no real time at all. Traveling, they just entered a parallel universe very similar to the previous timeline.And without time travel, naturally there would not be any space-time paradoxes.

"None of us are sure," Bruce said irritably.

Jonathan is also having a headache, and the information he has now is not much more than the others. More importantly, among these people, Jonathan has the greatest concerns.

If the world changes and the assumption of the timeline is true, then theoretically speaking, Batman and Superman in this world are exactly the same person as Bruce and Clark, similar to the Flash Barry, two different time points of the same "archive".But Jonathan is very sure that he and the "Jonathan Kent" of this world are definitely not the same person!

Even, due to the existence of Jonathan and the system, Martha and the entire small town of Smallville may be completely different from this world——Jonathan has been to several worlds, and he has never seen the same world as his own. A magical place like the small town of Moville.

When Dick was searching for information on this world, Jonathan had already focused on searching for the Kent family in this world. Like the previous worlds, there was no sign of a traverser at all.

If it's just a parallel universe, then Clark wants to save the world, and Jonathan won't stop it, maybe he will help, at most let Karl forcefully take Clark and Bruce away when nothing can be done.But if the price is that the existence of his whole family and most of his relatives and friends may disappear, Jonathan has to weigh it carefully.

Even if it is to save the world, it is a world that has almost nothing to do with Jonathan.Even though in theory Superman and Clark in this world are likely to be the same person, emotional matters sometimes do not fully conform to the theory. Children who have been fed shit and piss by themselves, and Superman who has never met , that's two different things.

Otherwise, Jonathan directly supported the superman of the unrighteous world to rule the earth, or brought him back to train him himself.If it was Clark who committed the crime, Jonathan would never be able to hand it over to someone else.

And, taking a step back, even if the two worlds are equally important, there are big differences.For example, from the perspective of the earth alone, in the original "history" of this world, there were less than one billion people who survived, while the world where Jonathan and the others lived, the population of the earth had normally exceeded 70 billion.

Of course, this factor didn't have much impact on Bruce and the others.

"The number of lives is never the key to the problem," Bruce shook his head, "No one is qualified to sacrifice a few people to save the so-called majority."

Unless it is the decider himself who is sacrificed.

"Nor do we have any qualifications to make decisions for the whole world, to put the world on a gamble, to bet on the possibility that we don't know whether it exists." Jonathan said with some seriousness, although there were a lot of selfishness in it, but he It is also true.

After all, Jonathan himself was never a superhero, a moral model, just an ordinary person.Even, when it comes to morality, Jonathan's lower limit may exceed many people's expectations.

After all, unlike Bruce, who doesn't care about the company's operations at all, Jonathan himself has accumulated huge wealth by relying on his foresight and foresight. A model of morality can't be a capitalist!Although it seems that Jonathan is a good-tempered and nice man most of the time, it is also because no one has touched Jonathan's core interests-of course not referring to money, but life, safety, family and so on.

As for what happens to people who touch it... The clown is an example.

Clark nodded with some difficulty. He understood what Bruce and Jonathan said.In other words, as the most well-known alien on the entire planet, no one knew better than Clark that they were not qualified to make decisions for anyone.

Life is like this. There are always times when you will be caught in a dilemma. That's why people hope that there are superheroes in this world.

However, in fact, for the superheroes themselves, the dilemma is the daily life in their lives.

Only Karl on the side seemed indifferent. He had no interest in saving the world, time travel or anything like that. The reason why he appeared here was only to protect Jonathan, and at most Clark could be added.

"So, you've made a decision?"

Barry on the other side of the screen smiled wryly, and was not surprised by this result. If he was in the same position, maybe... Forget it, there is no if. If you don’t encounter this kind of thing in person, you can’t do anything. hypothetical.And at the end of the day, Barry is the one with the most complicated feelings.

Unlike others, if Superman and Batman are two worlds as one, Barry is the Flashman of two worlds at the same time, so in terms of standpoint...

No, there is no position at all, because to him it's all the same!

This also means that when Bruce and Clark just chose to give up saving the world and let it develop naturally, no matter what choice Barry makes, it is equivalent to betraying another world.

For example, if Barry chooses to stand on the same side as Jonathan and the others, it is equivalent to actively concealing all information, following the Justice League here to the Apocalypse, and then watching them die again, even if they know that they will die when they wake up. "Rebirth", this is really...

"It hasn't been decided," Bruce gritted his teeth. "Until the last moment, we will do our best to investigate the truth of this world and confirm the relationship between the two worlds..."

If it's the best possible possibility, then they can shoot without any scruples.Even if it may be late by then, there is still hope.

Everyone knows that this is not just a comforting word. Bruce said that they will "do everything they can", and they will really do their best to fight until the end, rather than just perfunctory.

However, everyone also knows that this sentence is probably just a comfort.If it were anything else, having Batman make such a promise would have been reassuring enough.But this matter is different, without any clues, and when time is tight, it is impossible even for Batman to figure out the big topic of the relationship between the two worlds with [-]% certainty. .The point is that not only cannot this matter be proven, it cannot be falsified either.

"So, shall we call Dick back first?" Clark asked, "Wait here while I go and bring Dick back?"

"Let's go directly to Gotham." Jonathan looked at Clark and sighed. This kid has never been reassuring, and he probably hasn't given up. I'm afraid he still wants to go to Apocalypse. "Called Dick Come back? What are you going to tell him? This world is about to end, everyone else, including the red hood, has to die once, oh yes, he himself has to die once in this world, so hurry up and throw away the Jason of this world , go back with us?"

The author has something to say:

Ps: I see that many friends are saying that they still haven't figured out the timeline, so this chapter has been sorted out again, after all, it is the longest foreshadowing in the full text

Pps: Set a flag, and the daily update will end in the new January!
