Chapter 3605 Edge of Tomorrow (Fifty-one)
A golden light flashed, and Barry appeared in Schiller's office. He let out a long breath, then collapsed on the sofa next to him.
Schiller walked to the water dispenser, poured him a glass of water and placed it in front of him, saying, "Are you exhausted?"
"Not bad." Barry drank the glass of water, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "This time it's not just me, but also Clark's brother, Hale, who helped a lot."
"Where did you learn the technique to restart the universe?"
"It's the same Flash - uh, let me think - the Flash who created Thomas Wayne. Their universe has been restarted before."
"Why do you want to learn this?"
"We have to take some precautions." Barry spread his hands and said, "That time travel was quite dangerous. If it didn't work and we couldn't deal with Hale, the Earth would be destroyed. I have to learn how to restart the technology first just in case. Otherwise, how can I dare to do it?"
“But I feel like this isn’t quite the same as a reboot, it’s more like going back in time. Have you made any innovations yourself?”
"Not really, it's mainly because Hale is more powerful." Barry smiled and said, "If I want to restart, I can only restart it hard, and I don't know which time I will return to. But he can control time. As long as he intercepts a period of time and rewinds it, he can achieve the effect of time travel."
“It sounds complicated, but it works really well.”
"That's right. In fact, the difficulty here lies in how to preserve the memories of specific people. In the past few days, I have traveled all over the world and marked all the people whose memories need to be preserved. I was very careful when tracing back, for fear of damaging their brains."
"So you came to me that day just to mark me?"
"I guess so, but mainly to let you know what we're doing. You should have guessed it, right, Professor?"
"I had some ideas when I saw you." Schiller nodded and said, "After all, you have been in the fighting world for so long, and you must have met many other Flashes. It is impossible for you not to learn the technology of restarting the universe. But I didn't expect you to choose to go back in time. Is there any limit to this ability?"
"It's only the first time that's more difficult," Barry said, "because you have to mark the people who retain their memories one by one. It's very easy afterwards."
“How many times can you go back?”
"We don't know either. From this retracing, it seems that the universe is still quite solid. I guess there won't be any problems if we retrace it thousands of times. But I still hope Brainiac is smarter and doesn't make me work so hard all the time."
"I think it's going to be very bad." Schiller also poured himself a glass of water, and then said, "What if he runs away this round?"
"I have his bottom-level agreement. Where can he go? Although this thing cannot destroy it directly, it will bring many restrictions to it. If he doesn't fight through it honestly, don't even think about letting me return this thing to him."
"Brainiac is really surprised to meet you guys." Schiller sighed.
"I guess he should have contacted the Justice League by now. But he won't get anything, and the Justice League still won't help him. Either he does it himself, or he asks the human government for help."
"You have preserved the memories of the top leaders of the human government?"
"That's right." Barry nodded and said, "Fear is the best teacher for mankind. If it doesn't work once, try a few more times. The fear of impending death will always teach them to unite."
"I think you should change the name of the Justice League," Schiller said. "Maybe it can be called the League of Tomorrow - whoever doesn't listen to you will never see the sun tomorrow."
Barry laughed. His cell phone rang. He looked down and stood up and said, "Oliver asked me to go to a review meeting. I'm leaving now, Professor."
"Go ahead, and be careful on the road."
Schiller looked at the TV again. It was no longer Brainiac. His TV speech came to an abrupt end. He did not brag about the gap between the rich and the poor as he had done before.
Obviously, this super artificial intelligence already knows what just happened and who did it. But as Barry said, the Justice League will not help him.
Brainiac has the highest intelligence level of 12, and he is almost omnipotent in some aspects. But he has a biggest weakness, that is, he is not immune to the rules of the universe.
He is not a character who can escape from the rules of the universe. Whether it is the laws of space or time, they are iron laws to him, and he cannot change these things.
Of course, he could also use his wisdom to build a big machine - it all depends on how the editor writes it. But Schiller is sure that if the Justice League takes the initiative, Brainiac in their universe will not have this opportunity.
Now, it was the second round. Schiller also wanted to know how many rounds this self-proclaimed smart artificial intelligence would need to clear this hellish level.
No matter how powerful Brainiac is in other universes, he never fought the Justice League, the Yellow Lantern Corps, and Apokolips at the same time. This is like putting the Valkyrie, the Burning Legion, and the Emperor in the same boss room. Which game is designed like this?
Moreover, Schiller suspected that the Yellow Lantern Corps was just a lead-in, and the third party was the little blue man who was the guardian of the universe and all the emotional spectrum lanterns under him. If this were really made into a game, the difficulty curve would be criticized to death.
In fact, according to Schiller, the Brainiac of their universe seems to be still very young. It may be because the Justice League is generally young and took action against Krypton too early, so Brainiac was forcibly pulled over before he had time to harm the universe, showing a kind of clear stupidity.
The Brainiacs in other universes just want to put planets and civilizations into bottles for collection, but this Brainiac doesn't seem to have mastered this skill yet.
Otherwise, if he wants to find the Mother Box on Earth, he can just put it in a bottle and look for it slowly. But it's hard to say whether the Justice League will have other tricks.
Even if Brainiac put the Earth in a bottle, they can still leave through the fighting world. At that time, they can bring villains from other universes, and maybe the list of boss battles will be richer, which will still give Brainiac a headache.
Schiller sat back at his desk, looking at the pile of unread emails in a trance. He should have asked Barry to mark his students, so that if Brainiac came back for a few hundred rounds, these people would be able to graduate no matter how stupid they were, right?
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Pamela pushed the door open and walked in. She smiled at Schiller and said, "Good evening, Professor. How are you?"
"Not bad." Schiller nodded and said, "How about you?"
"I'm so exhausted," Pamela said, sitting down on the sofa. "Retaining memories has its disadvantages. I've just been running around for several days, and now I have to continue my research."
"Who has retained the memory?" Schiller asked.
"We've kept everyone who has worked for the Justice League," Pamela said. "Of course, we've also got the top leaders of the human government, and some important people, like you. And people we can't influence, like Lucifer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Schiller's cell phone rang.
"What happened?!!!!!!" Lucifer roared from the other end of the phone, "Why did the universe restart?!!!"
"How should I know?" Schiller counterattacked, "How did you create the universe? Why is the time structure so unstable? Do you know that my students are almost graduating?"
"Uh..." Lucifer choked. He paused for a long time, obviously checking the timeline, "Oh my god, it turns out that... How come the Justice League in your universe is so out of touch?! When there is an alien invasion, instead of trying to drive him away, you actually restart the universe and use him as free labor?!"
"Then why are you looking for me when you call and scold them?"
"I thought you were the one who restarted it." Lucifer said, "Who else could have done this except you?"
Schiller heard something different in his words, so he said, "Forget about that for now. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Shall we go for dinner?"
"I'm here." The next second, Lucifer appeared in the office. He adjusted his tie, coughed twice, and then said, "Let's go, what do you want to eat?"
Schiller turned off his computer, stood up and said, "Good restaurants require reservations, so we don't have many choices. Let's eat at the school cafeteria."
Lucifer sighed, but still left the office with Schiller. On the way to the restaurant, he said, "You should persuade them to take it easy. The structure of the universe is very delicate, which also means it is very fragile. If you break it yourself, you will have to completely restart it."
"I know you won't let it go bad," Schiller said. "In a way, it's also a relic of your old friend. No... it's not auspicious to say that, after all, he's not dead yet."
The two of them found a seat in the restaurant and sat down. After ordering, Lucifer looked at Schiller and said, "You almost scared me to death."
Schiller took a sip of wine from his glass, smiled and said, "Why? You thought I blew myself up again?"
"It's not like you can't do it. You two are of the same lineage." Lucifer snorted coldly, "If you blow yourself up and run back, who are you going to bring over?"
"I don't have any good candidates," Schiller said, "but I'm a little confused. You knew he was alive, so why didn't you go find him?"
"Uh..." Lucifer looked away guiltily.
"Because you two had a fight? It's been a long time."
"It's been a long time for you humans, but it's like yesterday to me. Why don't you let us have the cold war for a few days?"
Schiller suddenly realized. No wonder - according to Lucifer's concept of time, things that happened more than ten years ago cannot be said to be yesterday, but should be said to have ended just last second.
"Okay, whatever," Schiller said. "How many times do you think our universe can go back in time like this?"
"I'm not sure." Lucifer said, "The method you adopted is very clever. This is not a restart of the universe, but an interference with the timeline, which is equivalent to creating another timeline. As long as you deal with the abandoned timeline, there shouldn't be any problems. But can you handle it?"
"I'm not sure about that. I'll send a message to Barry later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lucifer was stunned for a moment, then he said with a smile: "They just dealt with the abandoned timeline. Guess how they did it?"
Schiller looked at him.
"They threw it to Doomsday to eat."
"Doomsday can eat this?"
"I just found out."
The two stared at each other. Lucifer clicked his tongue and said, "It looks like she's digested it, but we can't rule out the possibility that she got a stomachache in the middle of the night... Wait a minute. Why did Bruce take her to heaven? Are they trying to shit in Lake Eden?!!!"
The movie "Edge of Tomorrow" is about time loops, and the answer is on the puzzle itself, hahaha!
