The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Peter found himself back in the dense fog space.

"What's going on?" he asked, with deep confusion in his tone. "Didn't the universe restart? Then shouldn't I go back to the universe? Or I will disappear," he said. Then a new me comes to take my place.”

"That's how it should be, but you died to keep everyone alive."

Peter tilted his head and tried his best to understand these suggestive words, but failed.

He sighed deeply and said, "You can actually just say that you saved me. I fully accept your kindness and appreciate your kindness. Thank you."

The black sun is silent.

"Listen, I'm definitely not saying that you are the kind of person who must repay others for helping others, but I think..." Peter put his hand on his chest, turned it outwards and said, "It's just my personal opinion. You should be rewarded for doing good deeds, so you have done a good deed, right?"

"I'm still alive, and so are all the lives in the universe. No matter what you did, you made their situation better... So, I mean, is there anything I can do to help?"

Peter looked at the black sun with very sincere eyes.

And if his eyes could be sharper and see through the strange patterns, he would see a man in a white coat patting the table and several others and saying, "Did you see that! What?" It’s called full marks! What is an outstanding graduate!”

Looking at the silent black sun, Peter sighed with some frustration and said, "Well, even if I can't help, where should I go? Even if it's good here, I can't stay here all the time. I should always do it." Want something?"

Suddenly, Peter felt a lot of knowledge appear in his mind, which was probably the explanation for the current situation.

This knowledge first explains the general principles of universe restart. All in all, this is not an ordinary hot update, but more like an iteration from an internal beta version to a public beta version.

In other words, the new configuration file replaces the old configuration file not by changing a few codes, but by completely rewriting it, or even completely changing the coding method.

This leads to the fact that although everyone in the universe still exists in the universe in that way, their way of existence is actually completely different from the original one.

The reason why Peter is still alive is that these characters who contributed to the birth of the new era in the old era have retained their original configuration files and are now stored in a temporary folder, which is this mysterious gray fog space. .

However, due to limited storage space, and in fact this iteration only affects the Earth in the main universe, the temporary files stored in the Mist Realm only affect the Earth in the 616 universe.

So far, Peter can still understand what is going on, but what follows is a bit baffling to him, because it involves an area that most characters in comics cannot understand.

Bruce became Spider-Man because the situation was critical at that time. Peter took the initiative to give Bruce the ability of Spider-Man, and it was Peter who influenced White Can and asked him to blow up the cosmic engine, which led to this big reboot.

Although the cosmic engine is not that powerful, it is just a starting point for arranging the plot, but at this point, the plot of the events before the entire reboot has been anchored, and Spider-Man is already Bruce Wayne.

But Earth-1 still needs a Batman. Bruce Wayne has become Spider-Man, so who will be Batman?

Some people may say, why not let Peter Parker be Batman?

First of all, judging from Peter Parker's mental state, the probability of him dressing up as a bat cannot be said to be impossible, but it is too low.

Of course some people will say that he can dress up as a spider, why can't he dress up as a bat?

Spider-Man was bitten by a spider and became Spider-Man. Was Batman also bitten by a bat and became Batman? Obviously not, Batman dressed up as a bat purely because he is a psychopath.

Peter is a sunny and cheerful boy, and his chances of becoming one of Gotham's best students are greater than his chance of becoming Batman.

Even if he were thrown into Gotham, he wouldn't be able to mysteriously put on a bat suit, have all his equipment printed with bat patterns, and then play games with the lunatics at Arkham Asylum.

The greater possibility is that he would dive into Gotham University to get a second degree for himself and find himself a class after graduate school.

So it would be better to let Bruce Wayne go back to being Batman and Peter Parker to go back to being Spider-Man.

But Bruce is now Spider-Man, and he has all the abilities of Spider-Man. Let’s not talk about whether he is willing to change back. Now that Marvel has changed to a new version, the configuration file of the old version cannot be loaded at all. .

To put it in layman's terms, the old Earth 616 currently stored in the Mist Realm cannot be put back into any Marvel universe, just like you can't use a 64-bit system to run 16-bit programs.

And if you don't put it back, the program will just be a program, and no one can touch the backend, not the administrators at Marvel, nor the ones at DC.

So who can modify the background?

Of course it was Schiller who reserved the configuration file in advance.

Now that Marvel has made such a big move, a series of big events must happen, and hard work must be done to maximize the popularity of this version update.

Just like the first big event after the game is launched, it must be done well, otherwise the freshness of the new game or new version will be wasted for the players.

Adam, the product manager at Marvel, made this request to Schiller, and Schiller, who had just weighed the salary in his hand, thought about it, let’s do a linkage.

He went to Lucifer and talked about the situation here. Lucifer also found it a bit difficult to solve, mainly because the problem of the Earth being stuck in the 616 universe was difficult to solve. Even if you bring Bruce Wayne back, you can't modify the files related to the spider ability in his body. So if you let him go back with the ability, you will have to pay a copyright fee. But if you don't let him come back, then you will lose Batman's 1 Earth No. has to be restarted again. Wouldn’t it be a big loss on our side?

With this thought in mind, Lucifer went to God with Schiller's plan. Once God settled the account, this linkage can be said to be a sure profit.

Think about it, I don't have to be responsible for the planning. The chief planner of this linkage is either Schiller, a group of people in the fighting world, or Adam of the Life Tribunal.

And these people all belong to the Marvel faction, and Marvel pays them wages, and the employee Lucifer he sent there is his son, and they are all family members, so they don't get any salary.

It's like being able to take advantage of the opponent's big restart without having to play a single point. God dialed the abacus and thought this could be done.

God and Lucifer studied it as father and son, and felt that since the matter had come to this, it would be troublesome and uneconomical to create a new universe. Directly linking Earth 1 would make the story line more complete.

Lucifer thinks this is a quite bold decision - Earth 1 is not a nameless background for a major event. It can be seen from the number that this Earth is of great significance to the entire universe.

Earth 1 can be regarded as the DC editorial department's exploration of DC's new era comic style, and the exploration was quite successful. This most badass Batman in history has made many fans understand Batman better.

Even so, the status of this earth so far is still a bit embarrassing. Batman no longer has the ability to make his wishes come true, and the requirements for the screenwriter's level of arrangement are a bit too high.

How on earth is Batman going to deal with the monsters in Gotham when he can't pry open a single chain?

Although this question is interesting to think about, in order to create a reasonable story without destroying Batman's character, either a deus ex machina or a deus ex machina is required.

The editor chose to simultaneously reduce the strength of Gotham's villains, but at most it changed from destroying Gotham alone to blowing up a building or engaging in pistol assassinations, which was not much better.

At the same time, there is not only Batman on Earth 1, but the stories of Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern are also quite well written.

But unfortunately, there are not many characters that can be used to explore the relationship between gods and ordinary people, the concept is troublesome, and it is not liked by readers who like to watch superheroes kill all the way.

Therefore, the story of Earth 1 has been silent for a long time. If there is no hope of restarting an independent publication, then it may be heading for a slow death.

There was an opportunity to breathe new life into the earth, and both God and Lucifer were willing to try it, but they still thought it was a bold step.

But Schiller was bolder than them.

In fact, the method adopted by most of the Marvel and DC crossover publications is that a crisis occurs in one universe, and the superheroes of the other universe appear to participate in the event. This is a classic but easy-to-use formula that has been tried and true.

The linkage plan given by Schiller is to directly merge the two earths.

In other words, let the old Earth of Marvel Main Universe 616 go to DC-1 Earth for fusion, and use the DC universe as the background to create a new fused Earth.

Adam and Lucifer of the Tribunal of Life were shocked when they got this plan. They were really not sure who Schiller wanted to bring bad luck to.

But if you think about it carefully, these two earths are really a dragon and a phoenix, and they are a surprisingly good match.

Let’s talk about the old Earth of 616 in the Marvel Main Universe first. This Earth can be said to have been weathered. After all, before the restart, if there is a big event, the final finger must be pointed at the Main Universe. Either the villains will come to dig holes, or the superheroes will come to ask for help. .

The Earth of Universe 616, especially the people of New York on Earth of Universe 616, have seen the big world. It is even possible that the Zerg invaded the universe when they went to work in the morning, and the superheroes and the zombie army fought together during lunch. When you go home in the evening, you can watch the universe collide, and before going to bed, you can also watch Ragnarok.

Some people always say that DC's style is much darker than Marvel's, but artistic achievements and intensity cannot be generalized. Looking at it rationally and objectively, although Gotham is far ahead in terms of mental state, in terms of the frequency and intensity of disasters, only Metropolis can. Compete with New York.

Let’s talk about DC’s Earth 1. The good thing about this Earth is that most of the villains have been weakened. Although the setting is still classic, it has become a little more normal with Batman becoming normal.

To put it simply, once the feet are off the ground, the virus is shut down and the artistry cannot improve, which makes the styles of the two comics slightly unified.

The people of New York are relatively receptive, and the mental state of Gotham people is relatively stable, which will not lead to the same situation, but rather the possibility of integration.

The more the two parties studied, the more they felt that this was an excellent opportunity to simultaneously expand the influence of both parties, and they hit it off immediately.

In this way, the old Earth of Marvel Main Universe 616 was wrapped in a dense fog and flew like a meteor towards a universe in the vast DC star disk.

The two azure planets gradually overlapped, and New York, originally located at the junction of New Jersey and New York, just landed on Gotham and Metropolis, located on the easternmost side of New Jersey.

Coincidentally, New York happens to be located between two megacities. Queens and the Bronx, a pair of twins with extremely high crime rates, are located in Gotham. The same is true for Brooklyn, which has the highest population density. .

The most prosperous district of Manhattan is located in the metropolis, and Staten Island has become an additional island, floating not far from the mouth of the Gotham River.

Two equally troubled but distinctive earths have successfully merged together.

What follows is "Battle of Two Cities" where you sing and I take the stage.
