I want to have a date with Superman

Main universe, 21st century, December 24, 2022.

Metropolis, Hall of Justice.

"Why have you been gone for so long? It's almost Christmas. Superboy is so difficult to deal with?" Harley asked.

As soon as Dachao crossed the river of time and returned to the "present", she noticed something and rushed over immediately.

"Superboy is indeed very powerful. He has become the king of super villains in the 31st century. With more than 5,000 super villains under his command, he dominates the universe and is unstoppable.

However, it was not him who wasted the time.

Buzi invented an instrument to detect the restart of the fifth world"

When the Zhenglian bosses who heard the news arrived, Dachao continued to explain: "If the fifth world is restarted, it will inevitably cause violent turmoil in the river of time.

After all, the Eight Divine Realms also have their own timelines.

The timeline of the gods still has a very high weight in the river of time.

Therefore, when the fifth world is restarted, the river of time will also be reshaped.

By studying the changes in the river of time, Buzi determined that the restart date would be at least the end of January 2023.

Harley, you miscalculated, we still have a month. "

Harley frowned and said, "Is his instrument reliable?"

"Do you sense that the restart changes are coming?" Dachao asked.

Harley shook her head silently.

"So, the scientific and technological observation methods are more accurate. And because he knew that the restart had not started yet, he stayed for a little longer than half a month."

Dachao lowered his eyes and said in a natural tone, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart: "For the reconstruction work."

The extra time you stay has to do with rebuilding points, but mainly for the Miracle Machine.

"Even so, you have stayed in the 31st century for too long. It's the end of the month now." Wonder Woman said.

"I'm back, aren't I?" Dachao said.

Harley glanced at him suspiciously and said, "How is Superboy? Tell me about the battle."

Da Chao recounted what happened in detail, especially the fight between Superboy and Time Trap Old Superman at the end, which he told in detail, vividly and vividly.

"Hahahaha." Harley laughed heartily, "Superboy is so funny, it really makes me laugh to death."

The other heroes also laughed and were very happy.

Bateman said solemnly: "Superboy may be a little dim-witted, but he is 'Superman'. Superman's stupidity is more harmful. In order to quell the turmoil he caused, hundreds of heroes died heroically, and the price was too high."

The heroes stopped laughing, looked solemn, and sighed again and again.

"Superboy should be completely dead now, right? The two supermen came into contact with each other, causing a time paradox, and both were erased." Dinah said.

"Superboy must not be dead." Harley said firmly.

"They screamed so miserably at that time that they turned into nothing and disappeared before our eyes." Dachao said.

Harley looked at Hal Jordan, "You've also eaten time-trappers, what do you think?"

Hal shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. I am the power that plunders the time-trappers, not like Superboy, who replaces the time-trappers.

According to Superboy, Superboy apparently has all the powers of the Time Trap.

When I became the 'Time Demon', I only used the power of time in my own way, using the cracks of entropy to swallow the river of time. I had no authority over the river of time. "

"What authority do time trappers have? What exactly are they? You didn't make it clear last time. I always thought they were a special kind of time being, but now it seems more like a position." Neptune asked doubtfully.

"The Time Trap is the guardian of the end of time, similar to Harley's guardian of the Gate of Hell." Hal said.

"Just a community security guard watching the gate? But the end of time is already the end of the river of time. What are the time trappers protecting?" Wonder Woman asked.

“Ahem, Diana, I’m not the guard watching the gate.

The Guardian has the highest authority over the gates of hell. Without my consent, not even Satan can open or close the door.

Can a mere guard have this kind of authority and prestige? "Harry said displeased.

"Don't mention it. In many communities, there are more property owners than the owners. Their prestige and authority are really no less than yours." Diana said.

"They are exercising their authority, but I am within my authority. How can they compare?"

"Hey, don't argue about this little thing. Listen to Hal." Neptune waved his hand, looked at Hal and said, "What is behind the end of time?"

"Entropy, the crack of entropy that swallows the river of time, was created by me from behind the End. It is equivalent to intercepting a ray of starlight from the vast expanse of space, forming a terrifying crack that swallows the entire mother river of time."

Hal's face showed a look of fear, "Even when the 'Time Demon' was at its strongest, he did not dare to step even half a step into the 'rear'.

Compared with the entropy-filled 'rear', the time mother river of the multiverse is smaller than a hair on a giant's body. "

"Well." Neptune scratched the back of his head and said with an embarrassed look, "I've been dawdling around in high school, I haven't gone to college yet, and I have no idea about 'entropy'.

After searching online, I am even more confused. Can you explain in detail what entropy is in easy-to-understand terms? "

"Me too!" Oliver echoed, "I don't quite understand, isn't entropy a thermodynamic unit? How can it become a 'force'? Is it a force?"

Many heroes have a "me too" look of relief and ease.

"Actually, I don't know much about it. I also never went to college and was drafted into the army after graduating from high school.

I’m just going to tell you my own understanding, and you can just listen to it.”

Hal smiled sarcastically and said: "Entropy is a force that causes things to enter a state of absolute chaos and disorder.

The key is 'absolute chaos'.

Our human body is very sophisticated. Every cell, every organ, and every system in the body has its own function and forms a perfect organic whole with each other.

The entropy value of this state can be calibrated to ‘1’.

When we are sick, the body system is disordered, and the equivalent of a perfect system begins to become chaotic, and the entropy value increases from 1 to 10, or more.

You must have heard of the law of entropy increase in thermodynamics.

The increase in entropy is irreversible, and entropy is always increasing in a closed system.

In other words, the total entropy in the universe is always increasing.

In the process of our human body from being young and healthy to aging and dying, the entropy value is constantly increasing. When we are sick, the body system is disordered and entropy increases; when we get cancer, the disordered expansion of cancer cells also increases entropy.

Eventually, the person dies, the body rots, and the entropy increases to an extreme value. The decaying organic and inorganic matter is absorbed by plant bacteria and becomes part of them, and the entropy begins to decrease.

Well, the entropy of individuals can be reduced, but the overall entropy still increases.

Just like in human society, the rich have a certain future, are in high positions, live a worry-free life, have a stable class, and are reducing entropy.

The future of the poor is confused and chaotic. They may sleep on the street today, rob a bank tomorrow, and be shot the day after tomorrow.

There is too much uncertainty and chaos, and their entropy is very high.

Rich people reduce their entropy value through exploitation, and make the poor have higher entropy value. But generally speaking, the entropy value of human society is expanding, and eventually reaches an extreme value. Bang, human society perishes, new dynasties and new When social order is born, the entropy value returns to zero, and entropy begins to increase again. Finally, there is a 'BOOM', and the entropy value reaches the limit.

Alas, it’s really disappointing to think about it. The actions of our superheroes only slow down the rate of entropy increase. "

"What are you talking about? You're going too far." Dinah frowned.

Harley also complained: "You still say that you don't know anything about entropy? I think you are a complete expert."

"I am just a lucky blind man who has touched an elephant. I am not an expert." Hal shook his head and continued: "I did not change the subject. I just wanted to emphasize that no matter the entropy of personal life and death, or the evolution of society, Entropy, they all have a limit.

At the moment when the human body dies, decomposes, and is absorbed and utilized by plants, its entropy reaches its limit.

From the demise of a dynasty to the dawn of a new era, its entropy reaches its extreme.

Suppose their extreme value is 1 million. Compared with 1 and 10, 1 million is high, right?

But we all know that there is a concept of infinite ∞ in mathematics.

Compared with infinite ∞, there is no difference between 1 million and 1.

The power that makes the entropy of things reach infinite ∞ instantly is the ‘entropy’ behind the end of time.

It represents ultimate chaos.

The entropy of everything in the world has an extreme value. The extreme value for human beings is 1 million, for society is 10 million, and for the universe it is assumed to be one trillion.

But after the advent of infinite 'entropy', the entire multiverse will be no different from ants under a millstone.

Everything in the world breaks through the extreme value of entropy countless times, and then disappears into ashes. "

"This is the theoretical basis for my use of entropy to devour the river of time. The river of time also has an extreme value. After breaking through the extreme value of entropy, the river of time begins to regenerate. The entropy value returns to zero and starts again, which is to restart time. river," Hal concluded.

"Harley seems to have no extreme value. She is not affected by the cracks of entropy." Dachao said.

Hal glanced at Harley and said, "She just used God to come down to earth to block entropy. It does not mean that her body's entropy is unlimited and she is safe."

Harry frowned and said: "I have not intuitively felt the entropy 'behind'. The Entropy Crack of the Time Demon is not really 'entropy'. It also has extreme values ​​and contains rich power of time."

Hal's expression became surprised and he nodded: "Yes, the 'Time Demon' itself cannot directly control entropy. He borrows the power of time."

Harley's eyes flashed and asked: "Are you sure that the entropy 'behind' is a kind of energy, not a solidified state, or a law or something like that?"

"It should be energy, or a special 'substance'. If it is a state and law, I cannot dig out a 'small spoonful' of entropy to create an entropy crack." Hal guessed.

Harry's heart was pounding. The 13th defense specialty was found!

"Since entropy is so dangerous, time trappers still need to worry about people in the universe entering the 'back' along the river of time?" Neptune brought the topic back to the beginning.

"The end of time is the end of the river of time. What the time trappers defend is not for someone to enter the 'behind', but to prevent someone from disrupting the process of the river of time entering the 'behind'," Hal said.

"Oh, he successfully completed the journey while protecting the river of time." Everyone suddenly realized.

"So, the multiverse needs time trappers? That Superman is probably not dead. He has returned to the end of time." Neptune said.

"The Time Demon killed the Time Trap, and then the Time Trap restarted." Hal shook his head and said: "The land at the end of time needs the Time Trap, but the Time Trap does not have to be Superboy."

Neptune asked again: "What is the principle of mutual annihilation between Time Trap and Superboy?"

Hal frowned and said: "When the time demon originally hunted the time trappers, it took thousands of years to devour one time trapper, and another time trapper from a different time point appeared.

After swallowing 145 trillion ten time trappers one after another, the full power of the time trappers was obtained. "

"145 trillion to the tenth power? How much is that? How can you kill it?" Everyone was shocked.

"The age of the universe is 14.5 billion. The Time Trap has existed since the beginning of the universe. He was born within a second of the universe. Well, you can estimate it yourself. The number is too huge for me to calculate.

After devouring his power, the Time Demon also split into countless time clones.

Even so, it took thousands of years to grind him to death. " Hal sighed.

Da Chao said in confusion: "You killed so many time trappers, and the time trappers at other points in time were not affected. But if you scratch Superboy's chest, the time trappers will immediately have the same scar.

The time trapper couldn't help but jump out because Superboy was defeated and his life was threatened.

He was worried that he would die along with him, so he took action to save Superboy. "

Neptune said: "During the Zero Hour Crisis, there was another 'Hal Jordan' from another point in time. He was swallowed by the rift of entropy."

Hal nodded and said: "Yes, that Hal Jordan came from the past, and was me not long after I got the lamp ring.

After the Time Demon gained the power of the Time Trap, he pulled a clone from a point in time in the past.

The purpose is to mislead you.

Harley was so smart that she even guessed that the Time Demon might be me, but I didn't want to be exposed prematurely.

But I said, I am the power that swallows the Time Trap, not the Time Trap.

I understand the power of time, but I don't know the capabilities and limitations of time trappers.

By the way, Time Trap Superman once said that fate and cause and effect are higher than time?

Obviously, there is a causal connection between Superboy and the Time Trap that we don’t know, and they are not simply clones at a certain point in time. "

"Well, it makes sense. Superboy is probably the cause of all the effects. With him, the Time Trap is the only one that can exist. If he changes, the Time Trap will also change.

This explains why the Time Trapper sent Superboy into the 31st century, he wanted to-"

Having said this, Harley was startled, turned to Dachao and asked doubtfully: "What good things are there in the 31st century that are worth worrying about?"

Da Chao's eyes flickered for a few times, then he shook his head and said, "Nothing, Harley. Have you ever opened God to come to earth now?"

"Really?" Harry was surprised at first, and then said angrily: "If I hadn't sent God down to earth, and if someone really peeked in here, if you say that, even a fool would know that you have hidden treasures that cannot be seen."

"Uh, are you open?"

"Which meeting did I miss? Don't worry, no one can peep here." Harley said.

Dachao smiled apologetically to everyone and said: "A remarkable thing has indeed appeared in the 31st century. I have brought it back, but I cannot tell everyone clearly.

I can only say to Harley, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just because that thing is too deadly. "

"Your hands are empty. Where are your things?"

Harry looked him up and down. Except for the bulge in his crotch, the rest of his body was clearly visible under the tight fit of his uniform. There was absolutely no way he could hide anything.

Dachao tapped his temple and said: "It's in my mind, come in and see for yourself."
