After returning to the headquarters of the watchtower, Batman and the other two looked gloomy. The heroes in the lounge did not feel the approaching darkness. They were chatting and talking about the recent news.
The biggest news recently was that Luther had stirred up trouble again.
He had secretly cloned Superman's genes and created a monster Superman — Bizarro. Other than that, the entire world was in peace. Nothing major had happened. Although he already knew that the Seven Lanterns Corps had been destroyed by Dr. Manhattan three years ago, something big enough to shake the entire Alliance, Batman was not prepared to say it.
It was useless to let these people know. The enemy was still hiding in the dark, and the conspiracy was still going on. Now was not the time to reveal everything to the world. They needed to investigate in secret and figure out what the people in the World Security Council were doing and what the three prophets were thinking.
Batman had convinced Steel Bones and Wonder Woman to control the situation to the core of the Justice League, which was the Seven Titans.
Batman had already thought of the next clue … Whether it was the creation of Seraphic Speed or the massacre of the Seven Lanterns Corps, it was all an attempt to cover up a fact. That's right, Batman had never believed the reason why Dr. Manhattan had massacred the Seven Lanterns Corps. The so-called Darkest Night, the Black Lantern of Death, naturally existed.
But Manhattan had massacred the entire Seven Lanterns Corps — that was impossible.
The real reason for Manhattan's massacre should be the origin of this universe. The origin of the Seven Lanterns Corps definitely hid an unspeakable secret. The key to everything was hidden in the history of the destruction of the world that the committee had tried to cover up. All the clues were gathered at that point in time — from the destruction of the world due to 'death' to the time when the three prophets created the world together.
"I can go back in time, but I can't go beyond the time when I obtained my power. The further I go, the more blurred the time outside of Seraphic Speed becomes. It's as if there's an invisible barrier preventing me from going past that crucial point in time." Barry was always on call. Diana had called him, but before she could put down the phone, he had appeared out of nowhere.
When answering Batman's question, Barry was a little hesitant. He did not know if he should tell Batman his guess.
But Batman had obviously seen through his thoughts. He said directly, "It seems like you already have an answer."
"It's not an answer, it's just a guess. I originally thought that the reason I couldn't cross the time limit to obtain God's Speed was because of the time paradox. Just like if I return to the time when I obtained my power and stop myself from obtaining God's Speed, the grandmother paradox will appear. I can't use the power I don't have to change my past …"
"But this time, after discovering the Lightning Speed Engine in the cutting-edge technology laboratory, I have a feeling. The [Seraphic Speed] is a power that runs through the entire world. The moment it appears in this world, it connects the past and the future. The black hole wrapped in lightning is the 'origin' … "
"What do you mean by origin?" Diana didn't quite understand.
The Flash had no choice but to explain, "Time is four-dimensional, and any matter in time has four-dimensional attributes. But in the middle of that black hole, I saw the collapse of the space dimension layer by layer until it reached the origin." The Flash tried to use scientific language to explain the special point, but Diana was a science illiterate.
She's good at cutting people with a sword, but when it comes to science, her knowledge is limited to using a smartphone.
She's no better than the one billion illiterate people in India …
The Flash had to take out his lunch, a three-layer cheeseburger. He pointed to the first layer of cheese and said, "For example, this is a point in time in the past …" Then he pointed to the top of the burger and said, "This is our current point in time."
"And we …" The Flash scratched at the sesame seeds on the surface of the burger. "We are points that move in different planes of time … points in the same position on the same plane of time can be connected to form a vertical line, and that is the 'history' of our existence."
The Flash suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed down hard on the center of the burger. His fingers sank into the bun, and two fingers pinched through the burger. He showed Diana the hole he had made — all the different times of the surface began to gradually pull in, and then overlapped at one point, finally forming a hole that did not exist on the surface.
"This is the origin … a point in the same position on all the planes of time suddenly coincides, and the four-dimensional time, three-dimensional space, and two-dimensional space all collapse toward one point.
"It's like an anchor, running through the entire timeline."
Diana was only illiterate, but she was not stupid. She quickly understood. "That black hole can take us back to the past!"
Barry hurriedly shook his head and said, "The origin can't take us back to the past. In fact, the origin is very dangerous. There is no concept of time in the origin, so there is no past or future. After we enter the origin, we lose our coordinates in time and space, and we lose the concept of time. In theory, anyone who enters the origin will cease to exist. "
"But the origin is formed by the power of lightning speed, so I can use the power of lightning speed to protect you into the origin, but I don't know where it leads to! I also don't know what dangers there are … Everything is unknown. "
Batman thought for a while and replied, "We'll bring the key in …"
Barry was dumbfounded. He stammered, "Bruce, you can't do this, he's just a child."
"Hey!" The little spider came out of the restaurant and saw Batman and the others gathered together. He came up to greet them excitedly and said, "Batman, your food is really good. Isn't this Allen's Supreme Cheeseburger? Buddy, you disappeared halfway through your meal after receiving a call. I thought something big had happened! Has everyone eaten? "
Seeing the gloomy expressions on their faces, the little spider suddenly realized that something had happened here that he did not understand.
So he could only swallow the rest of his words and prepare to leave after a weak greeting.
Batman said in a low, hoarse voice, "That child is the key to everything. He must come with us. If someone wants to plot against us, then they will restrain themselves. Also, there are some clues about what happened before the world was destroyed that only he knows. None of us know what the previous world was like. "
Batman ignored Barry and Diana, who were silently expressing their opposition, and turned to the little spider. "Boy, we need your help … We found an 'origin' that connects to the past. It may lead to the world you came from, and even if it doesn't, there should be clues about how you came to this world. It's a key point, but it's dangerous. Do you want to go? "
The little spider said excitedly, "Is there really a clue? Do you want me to take back the Eye of Agomodo? "
"You'd better not bring that thing!" Batman said honestly. "We don't trust that thing."
Since the little spider had said that, the others could not object. The five of them returned to the cutting-edge laboratory ruins in Central City, in front of the black hole that was constantly creating lightning speed power and spreading this power through the entire timeline.
The black hole that was enveloped by the golden lightning was still stable. Looking at the lightning that was originally moving at the speed of light crawling slowly in the black hole, spreading out in the black void like a flower branch and releasing golden patterns, one could feel that the closer one got to the black hole, the slower time would pass.
Time had never been so clearly interpreted.
Barry looked at the black hole and whispered, "It should be the origin that's blocking us from going further back in time …"
Batman shook his head and said, "Not necessarily … I think a certain person named Manhattan is more suspicious."
"I thought that the person behind all this was the Second Prophet, but in my investigation, I found that we were not actually affected by the Second Prophet, or else we wouldn't have been able to see many things. If we're getting close to that conspiracy, it shouldn't be going so smoothly. So this smooth sailing makes me very uneasy, "Batman said.
"The closer we get to the truth, the more danger we should be in. But I don't feel this kind of danger … "
"Unless the truth is part of that conspiracy!" The little spider almost blurted out. When he reacted, he realized that everyone was looking at him. The little spider felt a little guilty, but Batman said, "You're right!"
"That's what I'm worried about."
Batman took the lead and began to approach the black hole. Barry hurriedly released lightning speed power to protect them, and they entered the black hole.
The origin ran through the entire timeline, so it was impossible to go back through the origin because the past was included in the origin. If they went forward, they could only go before time, which was the origin, before the Big Bang, before the birth of the fourth dimension, which was where Stark and Rogers had been.
The little spider could not see Messiah because his vision could not go beyond the origin.
He could only see the origin of the Big Bang, and there was a person there. At the moment the Big Bang spread, time was born with the explosion, and he saw a familiar figure in the place known as the origin.
"Captain Steve!" The little spider said in horror.
He saw Captain America's body, the superhuman Steve Rogers. Half of his body went before the origin, into the realm where Messiah was, and the other half … His eyes were bright, firm, and mournful. He stared ahead at the person who killed him.
Because time had stopped at this moment, Steve was forever stuck at the moment before his death.
It was not the fatal wound on his chest that killed him. The superhuman body was easily immune to such a small injury. The person who killed him also knew that this injury was insignificant to Steve, so he lured Steve here and pushed him into Messiah's arms. This was Steve's fatal wound.
The little spider knew very well how powerful Steve's superhuman body was.
However, such a powerful superhuman body had many deep wounds on his body, and the wounds were showing the phenomenon of the Day of Destruction that the little spider was very familiar with. Some of his flesh had obviously mutated, which meant that his enemy had given him a fatal threat, which activated the Day of Destruction virus in Steve's body.
The little spider could not imagine who had given the captain a fatal blow …
Let him die at the origin of time!
In this strange universe, he saw familiar comrades for the first time, but they were already cold corpses …
