Chapter 1068 Reign of Supermen: Deterioration

On May 5th, this was the fifth day that mechanical superman Hank Henshaw got the mother box from Ke Wen and others and was on the run.

Leticia Luthor has become a member of the mechanical superman family under the transformation of the mother box, and the two are lurking on the Lex Enterprise satellite in space, constantly releasing smoke bombs through the network, making Ke Wen and the others exhausted. There isn't a good way to find it out.A wave of dark operations under the lights made Ke Wen and the others at a loss. Similarly, on Earth, the fallen Batman member who came with the mission of destroying Batman and the main universe-the twin undead finally completed their own layout.

In Nasino City, Ke Wen and Dick also decided on the next action charter after a night of discussion.

"All of this is really weird," Ke Wen also complained after thoroughly sorting out a series of things after he returned from the universe.

"Yes, whether it's the Mechanical Superman or the Apocalypse, including the arrival of the Wayne couple, when we jump out to see what happened during this period, it feels like someone is behind the scenes, making these things all happen. Exploding in a certain period of time, is it the opponent you are worried about?"

Dick looked at Ke Wen, and said there, everyone knew about Dr. Manhattan, the existence that Ke Wen had been avoiding, after experiencing the memory rebirth incident caused by the old 52 Wally.After all, how to restart in the past is the story of my own group of people back and forth. Only this time, there is an extra Ke Wen, and there are various strange events corresponding to it, plus the previous Darkside Godhead During the war, they suddenly lost their memory of Ke Wen.

They who have restarted the memory of the universe naturally know that this must be an existence of a higher plane, and it is an existence they do not know.It was precisely because of this that although Dick and the others would not take the initiative to ask, they couldn't care less about the situation now.

"I think it's him, but what does he say? I've fought against him a few times. Of course, it's a collision of words and will. Although he can make trouble, it triggers a series of omens of events that have never happened before. , it's not his style, and he doesn't have to do it, it's a big deal."

As far as Dr. Manhattan's understanding is concerned, if you die, you will bring the Wayne couple here, but Dick's words also make Ke Wen doubtful about this. If only the Wayne couple came, who would they contact through the sonic boom channel?But if it wasn't Dr. Manhattan, which high-dimensional existence would have led the Waynes to appear on the main universe timeline.

"Do you want to notify the rest of the alliance? You all said that this time the matter is serious."

"But the problem is that we don't know who the enemy is. Even if we are notified, how can we counteract it? What's more, Clark is no longer Superman, and Batman is also missing. It can be said that in the universe restart event we have experienced, our power this time can Said to be the weakest, because of me, the Justice League, which should have many members, basically has only a few members except for the seven giants. The others, under a series of chain reactions, are still living the lives of ordinary people. Are we really going to drag them into this reboot quagmire again?"

Hearing this, Dick didn't know how to answer.He really wanted to say that if it doesn't work out this time, everyone has to repeat the cycle again, so don't think about influencing these people at this time.But he also knew that Ke Wen's concern was not that those people would experience accidents and become heroes again, but that even if they repeated the accidents that could make them heroes, they would not necessarily follow the same trajectory as before. , into heroes, they have changed so many things.

"I'll go to the Capital District to tell Clark about this. You will cooperate with the steel frame for me and continue to monitor the movements of the mechanical superman and the others."

"Didn't you just say that Clark is no longer Superman, why are you still looking for him? Also, is it really okay for you to go to Gotham City?"

"He's no longer a Superman just because he doesn't have superhuman strength, but in terms of intelligence, I don't think he's any worse than the world's number one detective. Playing with individual heroism at this time is prone to big problems. As for Gotham, I have to go, no matter whether it is the existence I have been guarding against that led the Waynes to our universe, I have to go there, after all, there may be potential allies in Gotham, here I'm counting on you."

With a wave of his hand, Ke Wen left the office and left Nasino City directly through the portal. Dick also looked at the empty office, speechless for a while, and he became the gatekeeper.

In the Capital District, Clark, the new president, is having a video call with Rex of the Metropolis about the launch of a satellite to the free trade island in the Pacific Ocean, which symbolizes the cooperation between humans on land and humans under the sea represented by Atlantis. , They are also further negotiating the details. Of course, these negotiations also informed Atlantis in advance.

Just out of trust in Clark, an old comrade-in-arms, Aquaman didn't interfere too much in this regard.The main reason is that although Atlantis has overwhelmed land humans in terms of technology, they really have no say in space. They have been underwater for thousands of years, even if the level of technology can catch up. At this time, their eyes are also smeared. It's better to be simpler and hand it over to the land humans to deal with it.

After all, if they can't handle it well, once the responsibility comes down, it won't be a simple bow and apology that can be perfunctory.

While Clark and Lex were discussing related matters, Ke Wen also opened the portal to his office. General Zod and Fiora, who were temporarily in charge of Clark's safety, put it down after seeing that it was Ke Wen who appeared. alert.

"Do you have time? We need to talk about what happened recently."

"You really know how to find time, private or business?"

"All."

Clark was taken aback, and motioned to General Zod, and the two guards left the office to prevent irrelevant personnel from entering.As for Ke Wen, after making simple preparations for eavesdropping, he also explained to Clark what happened during this period, including his and Dick's suspicions about the Waynes. More importantly, Ke Wen also had a question he wanted to ask. Clark.

"Do you know something about Batman's disappearance?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You acted too calmly. Yes, you are no longer Superman, but how long has Batman been missing? As his best friend, even if you have confidence in him, you can't just ignore him like this?"

Hearing Ke Wen say this, Clark also showed Batman's signature evil smile, which made Ke Wen a little uncomfortable.And Clark thought for a while, and replied there.

"If you mean that before he disappeared, he went to investigate the invasion of the fallen Batman from the dark multiverse, yes, I do understand, but not much, just a little."

When Clark said about the dark multiverse, about the big metal event that he had been worried that might come, Ke Wen's expression was very exciting.And Clark was also very interested in taking pictures of Ke Wen's out-of-control expression management with his mobile phone, so he sat on the table and continued talking.

"Why do you have this expression? Don't forget who went with you to the multiverse. Besides, I'm not an idiot. It's one thing not to know, but another thing to know and not be able to figure it out. Including yourself , isn’t it from a so-called real world where everything becomes a comic book, readers, and screenwriters? Don’t worry, we have restarted the universe so many times before, and it’s not that we haven’t come into contact with such a parallel universe, but you have become special It’s not coming here, but living here directly.”

"Since you know it all, why don't you do something? If that's the case, it's very likely that Batman's disappearance is caused by the Dark Multiverse!" Hearing this, Ke Wen couldn't calm down anymore. You really don't know how to laugh wildly How disgusting is Zhibat, right? If it wasn't for the fear that the content would be too horrifying, Ke Wen would have wanted to directly share the information he had learned about major metal events with Clark.

Even if it doesn't develop like the big metal event, at least there is a reference to it.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do this. Since you became active as Kamen Rider, everything you have done has changed the operation of this universe, which is why there have been so many unexpected big events before. This looks bad, but it's not a bad thing. For us, the information you can provide can only be used as a reference, but for the fallen Batman who will inevitably invade our multiverse in the future, they It is our advantage to face the same unpredictable changes as us!"

"So you just let Batman go missing like this?" Ke Wen was puzzled.

"Meals have to be eaten bite by bite, and things have to be resolved one by one. For now, the world is focusing on your new generation. Haven't you seen that we, former members of the Justice League, are fading out of people's sight? This is a handover, but it doesn't mean that we who are slowly leaving the front line have done nothing, you do your business in Gotham, leave the rest to me, and I will take care of it."

Playing with the mobile phone, Clark's calm expression made it impossible for Ke Wen to connect with the previous Superman who punched vigorously when he disagreed with him, or Ke Wen knew that Clark would use his brain, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous. Is a soldier so brave after being changed to a wise man?
"Are you sure you can handle the mechanical superman? He really hates you."

"Yeah, I only figured it out during this period of time. He is not an AI. No matter how powerful he is in the online world, he is still a person with his own emotions. And he hates me. Because he hates me, he must Destroy everything I want to build now, this is my weakness, and it is also his weakness, do what you want to do, everything is under my control~”

After speaking, Clark returned to his office chair and began to process other documents there.And looking at Clark's indifferent appearance, Ke Wen always felt that he was crushed by his IQ, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.He could only leave the president's office with confusion in his head.

After Ke Wen left the office, Clark also turned on the computer, and looked at Lex on the other side of the computer with a strange expression, and was also taken aback.

"What are you doing, you haven't talked for a few minutes, and your whole face has turned so bad?"

"So you were playing tricks on me before?" Lex didn't accept Clark's concern, and asked back, which stunned Clark.

And Lex pointed to the lower right corner of the screen, and Clark realized that the chat with Lex just now was not interrupted, but was shrunk down by him.So Lex listened the whole time he was talking to Cowen about the Fallen Batman event in the dark multiverse that could invade at any moment.It was precisely because of this that Lex had a bad expression.

Co-author When Clark was still Superman, his mind was always online, just to take care of his own face.Only then did he use his muscles to play with him all the time. Just like this, he lost more than he won against Clark. For Lex, who claims to be the smartest person in the world, this is a living murderous death!

"Ah? You heard it just now. Oh, that's not what I said. You should also understand me as a superman. As long as the sun is still there, I will become stronger every day. Even I don't know where my limit is. Under such innate conditions, it is very troublesome for you to let me use my brain, after all, plain and simple crushes all the bells and whistles~ Don't you see that I am starting to use my brain now?"

It was obviously a simple and unpretentious piece of truth, but Lex, who was opposite the computer, had a few more veins on his forehead. At this time, he really wanted to follow the network cable directly to beat Clark.But he found that even if Clark didn't have superhuman strength, he couldn't beat him. For a while, Lex also became suspicious of life from being furious.

"Okay, don't put on such a face, it's enough to do what we do now." Looking at Lex's appearance, Clark also comforted there.

"But are you really worried about him going to Gotham? If you say, a group of depraved Batmen, I think it's scary."

"But things have to be resolved one by one, right? I didn't leave any hole cards. More importantly, you have to understand that we are no longer the protagonists, and we have to leave the stage to them."

"Understood, but I still have to say, you really deserve to be beaten in this way."

"But you can't beat me either."

Your friend Lex has disconnected. Outside the house, General Zod and Fiora listened to Clark's cheap speech inside, and wondered whether it was right for him to put the future of Krypton on the son of his former friend choose.

Newborn Gotham City, Ke Wen also rushed here non-stop after getting through with Clark.If the situation of the Wayne couple is not investigated clearly, if it is really related to the dark multiverse, he can't even imagine what kind of chaos it will cause.And Ke Wen's arrival was immediately sensed by Thomas in Wayne Manor and Martha in the Batcave.

Similarly, there are Conan and Ke Xue brothers who came to the freshman Gotham City a few days earlier to investigate.

"I sensed my father's aura. I didn't expect the aura of your son of the world to be so effective. Work harder and find Batman quickly."

"Brother, can you not regard my halo as invincible, I almost scared me to death last time. But if it is about Batman, I am not sure if I can find it, but I can feel that there is something that makes me hate it." It’s just that it’s not easy to locate.” Thinking of the last time he wanted to use the halo of the Son of the World to find the truth about Ke Wen’s disappearance that led to his branch future, Ke Xue was also afraid for a while.

"You just need to sense it and leave it to me to determine the location. Of course, there is Dad, but when Dad comes over, we have to keep a low profile. God knows what the hell will happen to the three of us who confess our identities."

And Thomas Wayne in Wayne Manor was not surprised by Ke Wen's arrival, he just played with his cell coins there, and said softly: "Do you still have doubts about me? Well, the stage has been set up , let’s start the first act~”

PS: At this time, I should be working as a codewriter, but this day, the epidemic seems to have started again, and my mentality has collapsed!
