I want to have a date with Superman

"What, you don't remember?" Superman shouted in shock: "How can you forget such an important thing? And it just happened, is there time to forget?"

At this time, half an hour had passed since the end of the "Second Revelation Destruction" battle. In order to resolve the "natural disaster" of Earth-23 and rescue the citizens of Metropolis in the ruins, Harley was delayed for more than ten minutes.

When Diana was brought back to the Vault, the main universe superheroes and the "Incarnation of Justice" on the Vault all surrounded her at the first time.

Diana, who was defeated by Palmer, had fainted.

It took another while for Diana to wake up. They immediately surrounded her and talked about the doubts that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time.

And Diana's first sentence shocked them.

She said: I don't remember.

It was a very simple and earth-shattering sentence.

Diana looked very pitiful. She put her hands in her hair, scratching her scalp and pulling her hair hard. Her thick black hair was messed up, and her face half covered by her hair was full of confusion and pain.

"I know I shouldn't forget the battle of will and thought that just passed, but I really can't remember the details. It's not that I have completely forgotten it. I still remember some fragments."

The confusion on Diana's face turned into pain and self-blame, "But I know I failed. I failed everyone, failed the Essence Society and the Eagle Judge. The second life ended on me, and my power of creation disappeared."

"Except for your expectations of yourself, you haven't failed anyone. Don't think too much now. Maybe you can remember it after a few days of rest." Harley comforted.

"Harley, what did Papetua do to Diana? Why did she lose her memory?" Hal Jordan asked.

Harry pondered and said, "It's not that Papetua took the initiative to erase her memory.

Diana's amnesia is just a side effect of the battle of thoughts.

In the spiritual space, Diana's beliefs were completely destroyed.

Beliefs and memories are contained in the mind. When beliefs are destroyed, part of Diana's mind is also destroyed, and the part of memory contained in the mind happens to be related to the battle of thoughts."

Hal frowned and said, "The 'mind' you mentioned is simply used to describe mental power, or to emphasize Diana's mental consciousness after gaining transcendent power?

If it is a normal competition of mental power, Diana has the best time, place and people, and should have won. Why did she lose? So miserable?

The fact that Diana was defeated miserably in her own mind space can only mean that this is not an ordinary battle of mental will.

Papetua must have used the mental skills of a thinking life form. "

Diana covered her forehead with a slightly painful expression and said, "I still remember this memory. After Papetua pulled me into the mind space, she did smugly mock me.

She said that the battle of minds of the transcendents is not won by quantity, and is completely different from the ordinary mental power competition.

Belief is the key to the battle of minds of the transcendents.

It is obvious that the mental power she used to enter my mind space is definitely the mental power of thinking. "

"How much do you remember?" Dina asked.

"I don't know. From the first time I sensed Papetua's gaze, I realized that she was just an illusory projection, to her saying that she wanted to start a battle of minds with me, that is, the memory before the battle of minds officially began.

But I don't know what is missing.

The memories after the battle of minds began are fragmented. I don't know what is missing, and I am even a little confused about the order of the fragmented memories. "Diana said, slapping her head hard.

She slapped her head, making a "slap" sound, as if she was not slapping her own head, but the unripe watermelons on the fruit stall.

Harley said: "You should rest quietly now. I have seen the memories in your mind, and you don't need to force yourself to recall them."

Diana was stunned, "You have checked my memory? When?"

"You have lost the power of the Judge's connection and the anti-crisis power, so I can harvest your soul directly.

When you were unconscious, I rescued the city buildings on Earth 23 and harvested 99% of you by the way.

I collected all the memory fragments about the battle of thoughts and sorted them out again." Harley explained.

"Are the memories I lost really lost? Even harvesting my soul can't find those lost memories?" Diana said with a sense of loss.

"Just because I can't search it now doesn't mean you can't recall it in the future." Harley said.

"Harley, since you have sorted out Diana's memory fragments, have you found the reason why Diana lost her power of creation?" asked Superman.

"Diana lost the battle of thoughts, and her faith was shattered. Faith is the foundation for her to absorb and utilize anti-crisis power. Without faith, she will lose anti-crisis power." Harley hesitated.

"How could Diana's faith be shattered? I don't believe that a battle of thoughts can break Diana's faith."

Superman stared at Diana's eyes, "I can see that Diana just lost her memory, but she didn't lose her persistence in the concept of justice."

The heroes looked at Diana carefully, and could see a lot of confusion and regret on her face, but it was not the way she should look when her faith was broken.

If her faith in justice was broken, she should be soulless and look like a zombie.

"My persistence in the concept of justice will never change!" Diana herself also made a firm statement.

There was no confusion in her eyes when she spoke, her tone was sonorous and powerful, and her face seemed to be shining with the brilliance of faith, and she looked much "brighter".

Harley said: "But you have serious doubts about the anti-crisis force and the Eagle Judge, and you even resist!

Although the direct reason why you can extract the anti-crisis power is the belief of sentient beings, the reason why you were selected must also be due to your belief in the anti-crisis power itself.

Now that you doubt and resist the anti-crisis force, it no longer fits you perfectly, you lose control of it, and it simply disappears.

Just like after Kendra lost her destiny, the judge's origin immediately disappeared from her body. "

Dachao wondered: "Why would Diana question or even resist the anti-crisis force? We already know that the anti-crisis force comes from the belief in justice of all living beings. It is the opposite of the crisis force, and it is also the key to fighting Papetua and saving the multiverse." The only formal way. At least, it is the only way prepared for us by the Giant Hand Clan.”

"We don't understand the anti-crisis power." Louise reminded her husband: "We just distinguish it from the power of the judge's connection. Currently, Harley and the three Creator brothers are studying it.

Harley also speculated that using the anti-crisis power, like using other powers, would leave a magic mark, impregnate the body and soul, and may have other side effects. "

She turned to Diana and guessed: "Perhaps during the battle of thoughts, Pappetua took the initiative to reveal the evil nature of the anti-crisis force, causing Diana to resist the anti-crisis force, thus losing her faith and being defeated by Pappetua. Defeated and abandoned by the judge’s creation power.”

Diana frowned and said nothing.

Dachao said in confusion: "The anti-crisis power is the divine power of creation. It may have shortcomings, it may not be perfect, and you need to pay a price.

But compared to the crisis power, it's not so evil that Diana would resist, right? "

"I seem to be really afraid of using the anti-crisis force," Diana muttered.

"Why?" the heroes shouted in surprise.

"Because it—uh."

Diana felt as if a knife had been inserted into her head and stirred several times, and the pain made her body tremble, "I can't remember clearly, Papetua told me about the nature of anti-crisis power.

I have personally verified that Papetua did not lie to me, the anti-crisis power is real. I only know that the anti-crisis power scares me.

Even if I am still the second revelation, I don't want to use the anti-crisis power anymore. "

Dachao opened his mouth, and when he saw Diana's pale face, he couldn't bear it. He turned to Harley and asked, "What is the nature of the anti-crisis force? Have you discovered it?"

"Combining the memory fragments in Diana's mind, I have a guess in my mind, but the guess is also very incomplete." Harley frowned.

"Say whatever comes to your mind." Dachao said.

"Anti-crisis power and crisis power seem to be related to the 'story' of the multiverse."

Before the crisis of destruction officially started, Harley asked the King Michael for advice. He asked her to observe more and as long as she grasped the "key", she would win even if she lost; if she did not grasp the key, she would win even if she failed. Will also lose.

Michael finally said meaningfully that she was lucky.

He asked her to do her best to develop the ability to tell stories.

In addition, the Giant Hand clan regards the stories of the DC multiverse as their main harvest target. Now Harley has determined that the key to what Michael said is the story.

It's not the "false story" she passed on to the outside world, but the deeds they all experienced in the DC multiverse, the story of them and the world.

Since the key to victory or defeat lies in stories, the Giant Hand clan must still harvest stories. The "story of the world" must contain secrets that she doesn't know.

Combined with the few words of Pam in Diana's memory, the secret of the "story of the world" seems to be related to the divine power of creation.

All power has its source. Where is the source of the giant hand family's power?

Even if Harley hadn't heard Pam tell the story of the "Creation God Training Course", she still knew that the Giant Hand Clan was frantically expanding their sphere of influence.

If the number of creation gods of the Giant Hand Clan keeps increasing, where does the power of those creation gods come from?

God King Zeus has lived for billions of years, and the Olympian pantheon has also existed for billions of years.

Only in the early stages of development did the Olympus pantheon grow in size. In the longer years, the huge pantheon of gods has hardly added a single god.

The gods of Olympus are not without desires, their desires are stronger than those of mortals, but they only have illegitimate children, and it is rare for the sons of gods to be accepted into Olympus.

Like Hercules, his soul ascends to Olympus after death. He is essentially a grass-headed god, no different from the heroic grass-headed god on Harley's Paradise Mountain.

Why does his Olympus pantheon no longer expand the scale of the pantheon like Zeus did when he gave birth to Apollo and Athena?

Because divine power is limited and the power is not enough.

Even Diana's supernatural power was created by "co-workers" from the major gods of Olympus.

This is not only true for the Olympus pantheon, but also for all the established pantheons in the Heaven Realm.

Don’t they want to expand?

If they had enough divine power, they would definitely expand the size of the pantheon.

So where does the capital for the expansion of the Jushou family come from?

"I suspect the Giant Hands can extract anti-crisis power from our stories, like wine.

Our story is grain, brewed into ‘pure grain wine’ through the special craftsmanship of the Jushou family.

The Jushou clan regards pure grain wine as the 'wine base' and distributes it to the gods of creation.

The God of Creation blends pure grain wine into various types of commercial wine based on his own attributes, which is the power of connection. "Harry said with a serious expression.

This conjecture is also in line with her previous guess about the anti-crisis power: the anti-crisis power is more "original" than the power of the judge's connection.

At this time, there may be four kinds of connecting forces in the multiverse, the connecting force of the Judge, the two connecting forces of the fallen Pamu and the normal Pamu, and the connecting force of Dr. Manhattan.

Regardless of the brand and flavor, commercial wine contains alcohol.

The "alcohol" extracted from the four connecting forces is the anti-crisis force and the crisis force. Or is the crisis force "water"?

Harley was very curious about what theory Papetua had to completely destroy Diana's belief in the anti-crisis force.

At present, she can only guess that the origin of the creation of the giant hand family is related to the world story, and the nature of the anti-crisis force and the crisis force is still unclear.

"Are you saying that the anti-crisis force brought to Diana by the belief of all beings is not the creation power that was integrated into the multiverse when the Eagle Judge reshaped the world, but the "story power" that our world naturally possesses?

If creating the multiverse requires investing a creation power, now that our multiverse is completely harvested, can we get two or even more powers?

In addition to the power invested at the beginning of creation, there is also the power extracted from the story." Hal was surprised.

Harley nodded gently, "As the saying goes, if you plant a grain of millet in spring, you will harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn. If you invest one portion of the power of creation and gain more than one portion, the Giant Hand Clan will make a profit.

Before, we only thought that the profits sought by the Giant Hand Clan were related to civilization and wisdom, and those with transcendent potential. It seems that we are still naive. Creating the multiverse may be a lucrative industry beyond our imagination."

Batman looked thoughtful and said, "When you analyzed the difference between the anti-crisis power and the power of the Judge's connection for us before, you used the current situation of the multiverse as an example.

Even if Diana extracted the anti-crisis power from the multiverse, the multiverse did not change significantly.

The structure of the multiverse did not accelerate its collapse.

This is completely different from the model's active destruction of the multiverse to facilitate the creation of the people of destiny from the ruins of the world.

At that time, you only explained the difference between anti-crisis power and connection power through this phenomenon, but you didn't know the reason.

If the anti-crisis power comes from the world story, let's not talk about the specific principle, at least the result perfectly explains the origin of the above phenomenon.

The anti-crisis power comes from the story, which is a newly created power.

The Judge's connection power comes from the investment at the beginning of creation, which is the old power before.

The two powers come from different sources, so extracting the anti-crisis power based on the beliefs of all living beings will not directly damage the structure of the multiverse. "

Superman looked puzzled and said: "Although this theory can explain the difference between anti-crisis power and connection power, why can we extract the power of creation from our world story?

Isn't the story just a story? How can we extract power from the story? "

Batman, Diana and other heroes all looked at Harley.

Harley said: "Of course there is power hidden in the story.

For example, by spreading the stories of the heroes of the Justice League, ordinary people are inspired and motivated.

How many great men were influenced by historical legends and set up great ambitions and embarked on the road to greatness.

If the content of the story promotes justice and criticizes evil, people will abandon evil after reading the story and restrain themselves with morality.

These are all direct manifestations of the power of the story!

In classical mechanics, if there is no external force, the uniform motion of an object will not be changed.

If there is no power in the story, why do people change their "uniform speed" state?"

Da Chao was entangled and said: "This kind of story power is not the power of the story itself.

It is the characters and deeds in the story that change people.

The power of creation is a real power that can be transferred and utilized."

"Can you really use the power of creation of the judge?" Harley asked.

"I can't, and you can't, but Diana can, and the giant hand family can, which shows that the power of creation is real." Da Chao said.

"When you judge that the power of story is not real enough, the standard you use is your own feelings.

You cannot understand or extract the power of story, so you think it is false.

But you also cannot use or understand the power of Judge's connection.

Just because you see others can use it, you recognize it as real.

Isn't this double standard?"

She glanced at Dachao, and he was stunned and speechless.

Harley continued, "You can't understand the power of the story, nor can you extract the power of the story. This is your feeling, but it may not be the same for others.

At least I now understand that there is indeed power in the story.

I can't extract power from the story now, but I guess the giant hand family can.

My guess is also reasonable. The crisis power and the anti-crisis power may be the power extracted from the story.

Papetua revealed the truth about the anti-crisis power to Diana.

It is possible that using the anti-crisis power will change the story, and the change of the story will really affect the reality.

Diana was terrified and shrank back. She lost her faith in the anti-crisis power. The anti-crisis power abandoned her and returned to the universe story."

The more she talked, the more she felt that her guess was right.

Because her own "thick skin experience" is also a kind of energy that others cannot perceive or understand but is real.

A special energy will be generated in a life form with self-will.

This energy can be absorbed by the evolution treasure deep in her soul through substantial damage with hatred.

The absorbed energy is very similar to experience points, allowing her to evolve infinitely in the direction of defense.

Harley gains experience while being beaten, and the experience value is equal to the malice multiplied by the damage.

To have malice, the enemy must have self-will and emotions; the damage cannot be zero. If Harley blocks all the enemy's attacks with the thorny black vortex, she will not be hurt at all and will not gain experience.

The total experience value that each enemy can provide per unit time is limited.

Harley cannot let an ordinary person hold a knife and keep slashing at her, and her experience continues to grow.

Ordinary people have limited special energy. Their malicious damage is not the reason for generating energy, but only the reason for stripping and transferring energy to Harley.

The total amount of energy is related to the strength and influence of the person who maliciously hurt Harley.

The speed of energy recovery is related to the number and scale of the things he has done during this period.

The more he can do things, the bigger the things he has done, and the faster the experience recovery.

So in the early days, Harley would regularly harvest super villains in prison.

The power of stories is very similar to the experience of thick skin evolution. They are both conceptualized and suspected to be related to thinking. They are both related to "people" with thinking ability: the experience of thick skin is directly related to people, and stories come from people; the experience of thick skin comes from the person involved, that is, creating new stories, and the power of stories comes from stories; the experience of thick skin provided by a single person is limited, and the power of stories is not endless. The more crisis power Pamu extracts, the less anti-crisis power Diana can extract.

Superman thought again and again, but still couldn't figure it out. He frowned and asked, "Suppose Harley, you are right, there is energy in the story of our universe.

Just extracting energy from the story, how can it affect reality and make Diana afraid?"

"I don't know, but now we understand why the giant hand family must harvest our "story".

No matter what they want to do with our story, we can't let them succeed.

Every miracle has a price.

We must not become the price of their full harvest. I will make them pay the price for having such an idea!" Harley said.

"Suppose the Hand Clan catches Dr. Manhattan who escaped, and gets the stories of the multiverse in recent decades from his mind, does that count as successfully stealing our stories?"

Superman deliberately glanced at his wife, "Louise's series of special programs is simply a 'story collection', will the Hand Clan like it very much?"

"I don't know, Diana's memory is incomplete. If you let me guess, I think the power of story should not be so easy to extract." Harley said.

Diana patted her head again, annoyed: "It's okay to lose the second revelation, and even the related memories are lost. I'm useless."

Harley's eyes flickered, "Remembering too clearly may not be a good thing.

Papetua's goal is to destroy your beliefs, not to answer our doubts.

In order to achieve the goal of collapsing your beliefs, she certainly doesn't mind lying.

She must have lied.

As the saying goes, it's better to have no books than to believe in them.

It's better not to listen to her at all than to take her words as the golden rule."

What shattered Diana's memory may not be the battle of Pamu's thoughts, but the origin of the judge itself.

If half of her guess was true, the Giant Hand Clan would not want them to understand the secrets of crisis power and anti-crisis power.

Even if Papetua did not lie, the Judge Origin would not allow Diana to remember the truth.

"What should I do now? I have lost the Judge's power, and the second revelation has become a joke. All the audience have seen it." Diana said bitterly.

Louise hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, I just checked the comments of TV viewers on this live broadcast.

Everyone was a little shocked and disappointed, but the emotions were basically stable, and the Legion of Destruction did not get what they wanted."

"What do you mean?"

"The live broadcast signal of the Sky Pole was hijacked by the Legion of Destruction.

I don't know how they did it, but their technology is very advanced, more advanced than the technology of the Creator's Blood Domain Mothership.

Papetua not only wants to break the second revelation, but also broadcast it live to make all beings believe in destruction.

Obviously, this battle of your thoughts with her is not an accident, but a conspiracy carefully planned by the Legion of Destruction." Louise said.

"Papetua also said so. Why are the audiences so calm? Have they never expected anything from me?" Diana was entangled.

No expectations mean no disappointment.

"No, everyone should have been very excited, but after Harley arrived, the Blood Domain mothership that hijacked the live broadcast signal immediately fled.

The Sky Pole regained control of the New 52 TV station, and I quickly replayed the scene of the last Blood Domain Battle.

Hehehe, seeing Harley slap Papetua's real body to death from a distance, everyone immediately calmed down and was not shocked.

Last time, Harley could easily kill the real body of the Mother of Destruction; this time, Papetua didn't even dare to show up after Harley arrived.

I commented that Papetua was a coward and a cowardly bandit, and the audience agreed very much.

Facts speak louder than words!" Louise said proudly.

"Well, you react quickly and are very smart," Diana hesitated, "How do the audience evaluate me?"

"Everyone says that you were ambushed and are very worried about you." Louise said with a twinkling eye.

"Just worried?"

"If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

Louise opened the tablet and showed Diana the comments of the Earth audience.

The Earth audience was very familiar with the Justice League. Even though Diana was a big disappointment this time, they comforted her more and ridiculed her less.

"Justice League" and "Wonder Woman" have no filters in the eyes of alien audiences. All kinds of unpleasant words are filled in the comment area, such as "a poor Wonder Woman", "the second piece of garbage from the Judge's family", " "The insect of destiny who was instantly killed by the illusory projection" and "not as good as the fingernail on the finger of the Galaxy Admiral".

Even if sane critics remind the audience that in previous operations to rescue the parallel universe, the "Second Apocalypse" was invincible, invincible, and extremely efficient, so the problem was not the "Second Apocalypse" but the Mother of Destruction's attack on the universe. She resorted to intrigue—and not many viewers were willing to buy into it.

It is true that "Second Apocalypse" failed too simply, too abruptly, and too shockingly, and everyone's expectations for her were very high before.

In order to help Diana win the trust of all sentient beings, Harley even personally stood up for her and called on the people of the universe to believe in Wonder Woman.

Halle did not participate in the live interview, but filmed a vlog.

The overwhelming publicity and the live broadcast of the battle for several days in a row raised everyone's expectations for the "Second Revelation" to the limit. This was also Pam's purpose. She could have taken action against Diana on the same day, but after waiting for these days, Just waiting for Diana to ascend to the altar of public opinion.

"Diana, you lost your faith, so you lost your divine power. If you regain your faith, can you regain your divine power?" Bateman asked, looking at Diana who was writing comments.

"Can I?" Diana turned her questioning eyes to Harley.

Harley doesn't know.

"I don't think the judge's second revelation will be broken so easily." Bateman explained: "Both the anti-crisis power and the crisis power are a hidden mechanism possessed by the multiverse itself, not a privilege given to you by destiny. .

You have the strongest transcendent talent besides Harley, so the judge chooses you.

The belief in sentient beings touches the hidden mechanism of the universe, so you can gain anti-crisis power.

Now you just broke your belief, you didn't lose your talent, and you didn't change the mechanism of the universe.

Why can't you restore your divine power? "

Diana said: "But I don't really want to restore my divine power. I feel that using anti-crisis power will bring bad results.

If there is no other choice, we cannot defeat Papetua without using anti-crisis force. Even if there are side effects, we can only grit our teeth and endure it.

But we have Harley, we have a better choice! "

Bateman sighed silently and asked, "Harry, what should we do next?"

"Continue to study the anti-crisis power. If possible, it would be better for Diana to regain her faith and restore her divine power.

No matter what side effects of using the anti-crisis power, it is better than having the story power extracted by Papetua and converted into crisis power. "

Harley looked at Diana who was thoughtful, "Even if you only extract the anti-crisis power without using it, it will be a major blow to the Legion of Destruction."

Diana nodded and hesitated: "How do I restore my faith? Faith cannot be restored just by recovering it."

"Let the experts help you."

"Who is the expert?" Diana just asked, then her heart moved, "Essence Club?"

"By the way, does the Essence Club know now that its fate will be broken the next day?" she asked nervously.

"Well, it seems no one went to the Tianya Haijiao Meteor Planet to inform them. Harley was on Earth before and arrived at the scene earlier than us." Dachao said.

"They're going to curse me to death," Diana lamented.

"If they get excited and yell, that's a good thing." Harley laughed.

A moment later, a meteorite appeared at the end of the world.

"What? This waste has lost the destiny of the second revelation? It has only been a few days, and Papetua has not even used his true form. Diana, your performance is too clumsy and rubbish."

Sure enough, after learning about the "War of Minds on Earth 23," everyone in the Essence Club changed their expressions on the spot, gnashing their teeth and yelling curses at the dejected Diana.

When they first met, they were full of enthusiasm and greeted each other with greetings, calling them "Eagle's Daughters".

The enthusiasm between Hera and old Shazam is even vaguely flattering.

Once it was confirmed that the Second Revelation was abolished, the "Eagle Daughter" immediately became "trash" and "idiot".

"You are so excited, obviously you haven't received any enlightenment from the judge, right?" Harley said.

"What revelation? This useless piece of wood has already destroyed the second revelation and embarrassed the Eagle Judge in public!" Hera shouted.

Harley said: "You have been praying to Judge Eagle, and your prayers did not stop before we came over.

But at that time, Diana had lost her original nature as a judge.

Do you understand what this means? "

"It means that the Eagle Judge is completely disgusted with us! The first and second revelations failed one after another, and they all failed miserably in public. Anyone else would be furious.

We are finished, we will face the angry judge.

None of us can bear the judge's wrath. "Old Shazam said in despair.

Harley shook her head and said: "You are wrong, this means that Diana has not lost her destiny, she can still rebuild her faith and regain her anti-crisis power.

If the fate of the next day fails completely, the judge will of course be furious.

With his position, there is no need to endure at all, and he can convey his angry will to you who are praying to him on the spot.

Perhaps he will order you to commit suicide and apologize.

But you haven't received any enlightenment, and the judge has not contacted you.

Because the second revelation is not over yet. "

"It's not over yet, there is still hope." Everyone in the Essence Club looked at each other and their expressions became more relaxed, "Harry, we are willing to do our best to help Diana rebuild her faith."

Harley smiled and nodded, "To help Diana rebuild her faith, the most important thing is to help her resolve her misunderstanding of the anti-crisis force."

"But we don't know the truth about the anti-crisis force either." Stranger said.

"But you have a connection with the Eagle Judge, don't you know, and he still doesn't understand?" Harley smiled.
