Recalling it carefully, West remembered that the first time he saw Ms. Death, he didn't say "Are you into rock and roll?"

Rather, "Does death die?"

He didn't ask this question out of his mouth, he asked it with his eyes when he looked at Lady Death.

"Are you going to die?"

"I will, but death won't." When Ms. Death said this to him, he half understood.

"Supreme consciousness is eternal, but life is not, and neither is the world, West."

"The world dies, and a new world is born, but the world that is born will never be the world we once loved."

"So, we are willing, willing to sacrifice for him."

West closed his eyes, floating in the empty space.

His eyes see both far and near.

He can see every living being in the universe, and he can also see the power flowing in the empty space at his hand.

He becomes the eye, the eye of the world.

No, no, he is the eyes, always the eyes chosen by the world.

The world has been everywhere, and he listens to West's voice.

So why give up when facing Namonroth?West asked the world softly.

[Because you have to accept your fate. 】

But I did not accept fate, world, I saved you.

[Yes, my child, you saved me, you saved me.I will give you a chance, when everything is about to be reorganized, what kind of wish do you want to make. 】

what do i wantWest remembered what he owed them.

I want people who died in the war to be brought back to life, and I want Clark and Tony to have their bodies back.

I want...the world to return to normal.

[I accept your wish, my child. 】

What about after accepting the wish?

[Come back to me. 】

Well, if you can fulfill my wish, I would like to go back.

I am part of the world.

The world separated me out of kindness, and it is duty to take me back.

He should have done it in the first place.

Without the endless family, there would be no subsequent stories, and there would be no Namonos.

There would be no West, and none of this.

[I'm sorry, West. 】

Why apologize?I have learned to think, none of this is what you force me to do, but what I choose to do.

I am willing.

[Do you know where the "real world" you once lived in is? 】

West shook his head.

[That is another possibility of development of "now". In human terms, it is my twin brother—the lady of death in that world died with the endless family, so you did not appear. After Namonros woke up , superheroes accepted the faith and became new gods, and then filled the gap that Namonros created in the world, creating a world without superpowers, and they became ordinary people in their respective worlds. 】

It sounds pretty good.

[But the demise is still unstoppable. In the following time, he will have a big crisis, because without superheroes, no one can save that world anymore. 】

I want to cry, world.

【Don't cry, everything is just a part of development,】

The world showed him other worlds, some that haven't changed much, superheroes are still superheroes, and they're going to die in some war—maybe an alien invasion, maybe an AI takeover of Earth.

Some of them have also changed a lot. The superheroes have become ordinary people and live ordinary lives.

West went to see Tony - he saw some worlds where Tony and Bruce went through a lot of difficulties and then got together, and some worlds where Bruce blackened and killed Tony, and then tried to revive him...

He also saw Murphys in a certain world.

All worlds are just possibilities in the long run.

He saw the world with him.

He didn't draw Tony in the first game, but he drew Rocky-then he embarked on a path of blackening.

In some worlds, he didn't meet Peter, couldn't even complete the first recruiting task, and then everything ended before it even started.

Then he looked at Clark.

In some worlds, Clark doesn't die, Superman saves the world, he's his haunted house boss, and they're not together.

In some worlds, Clark died, but was not summoned by him.

All these possibilities are part of the development of the world.

West is unstoppable, and the world is unstoppable.

【Do you understand it? 】

understand what?He does not understand that this world is but one of all parallel worlds, and of no importance to the Supreme Will.

【Do you understand it? 】

He doesn't understand.

And that supreme will has been indifferently watching different development trajectories, watching these parallel worlds develop different endings.

His gaze fixed on these worlds, so indifferently.

He has given humanity to these laws, but in the end he has no emotion himself.

【Do you understand it? 】

He didn't understand, never understood.

He didn't understand why he could feel the love that belonged to him from the eyes of the supreme consciousness looking at them so indifferently...

... They love the world, just as this indifferent world loves them.

and so……

"I understand." West said softly.

He understood, always understood.

He understands why the world seems so cruel, so indifferent.

He understands why, the world is so cruel and indifferent, but they still love him.

Because all worlds lead to the same goal.

He will eventually perish, and finally meet his destiny.

Earth, with Vest, is but a part of these parallels.

So the world must be indifferent, and must treat them aloofly.

But they love life so much.

[After seeing such an ending, will you regret sacrificing for me today?West. 】

No, at least we fought for it. If death is the end of everything, we worked hard to make that end come later.

[What's the point of that?I will still die. 】

Yes, meaningful, at least we have worked hard to save our family. If the end result is death, at least we can choose to die with our family.

So I never regret it, even if I have never really lived in this life.

Even in this lifetime, I am just a living puppet, and I will be that puppet in the future.

I am willing.

Willing to become the ruthless eyes of the world looking at human beings.

The only one who only asks the world to delete the traces of my past, please let those who love me, those who hate me, and those who are entangled with me forget me.

Let my presence not disturb anyone's life, owe it to no one.

Then I am willing.

Willing to accept your destiny, for the world will always be here.

[I'm sorry, West. 】

Why should I apologize?You gave me a chance to exist, you created me out of nothing, you gave me a name, and you gave me meaning.

I thank you, world, from the bottom of my heart.

If it weren't for this, I would never have felt so much love and hate.

【But you cry, West, eyes don't cry. 】

I cry because you cry, world, I am your eyes, why are you crying?

[For...for my beloved child. 】

Am I your favorite child?I'm so happy, really, world, I'm so happy, I'm... really happy.

[However, I am so unfair to my favorite child. 】

Not unfair, just a necessary part of paying the price.

I am just the price you pay, the world, and I am willing to be that price.

He closed his eyes and heard the world sigh.

The world sighs for him.

He felt extraordinarily calm, but he couldn't be calm.

He wanted to say something more, but the world stopped talking and communicating with him, and everything around him became nothingness.

Nothingness is terrifying, especially if such nothingness is to accompany almost his entire future, that nothingness becomes even more terrifying.

The world is born in nothingness, and as the eyes of the world, he will also accompany the world in nothingness.

【My child, do you miss those people? 】

Ask yourself, does West miss those people?

He thought, very much.

He wants to live on the ground, he wants to be an ordinary person.

He misses his haunted house, Tony, Hall, Clark...

But he answered the world—

No, I don't want to.

He can't think that he still has to accompany the world, and he still has to spend this long time of nothingness.

He can slowly wear away such miss.

Ten years, a hundred years, human life is short, and Kryptonians also have the end of their lives. He can watch them in such longing until he forgets them.

If he could forget.

[Let's go. ] The world suddenly said to him, [Go away, my child, go away from me. 】

No, world, you'd be too alone.

I am the eye, the eye that watches all life for you.

【However, the world is also reluctant to sacrifice his favorite child for him like this. 】

[So, let's go. 】

[Let's go, my child. 】

The world separated his eyes again, and as before, his eyes fell on the earth and became his children.

[Wait until one day when you have nothing to worry about, come back. 】

……

After order was re-established, time seemed to go backwards.

Everything destroyed by Namonos was restored, including the humans he killed or controlled.

People forget what happened and who paid what price to restore the world to the way it was.

West stood on the streets of New York, staring at the familiar and unfamiliar cities in front of him.

The world is saved, but the traces he once left are erased.

His body had been wiped out in that sacrifice, and the body he was using now was newly bestowed on him by the world.

He went to the place where the haunted house was built before, but now there is nothing there.

As the most implicated existence in the battle with Namonros, his traces were erased together with Namonros. No one remembered him, nor would he remember what kind of haunted house opened in New York.

It's just... his superhero friends, they should forget about him too.

West took out his mobile phone and looked at the news about superheroes, who was saved again, which villain was going to destroy the world, and so on. He thought it was very good.

Whether they remember him or not, at least they are alive now.

It's just that West didn't plan to contact them this time.

He's going to open an ordinary coffee shop anywhere, watching these former friends of his every day, watching them save the world.

Although compared to the previous days, this will be much more boring, but he is already satisfied.

West turned around and was about to leave here when he suddenly heard a sharp cracking sound from the sky.

Then he saw the man in the red cloak descending from the sky with his back to the sun, like a god.

He looked up and saw those blue eyes staring at him tenderly.

"You..." He opened his mouth, trying to say something.

Clark interrupted him, smiling at him: "I remember you, West, I've been waiting for you to come home."

West stared at Superman, he couldn't think of anything at this moment.

He comforted himself, it's fine if these guys don't remember him, he doesn't care, as long as they live well.

But now when I saw Clark, I suddenly felt so wronged.

He is not reconciled, still not reconciled, no matter how many times he has said that he is reconciled, from the bottom of his heart, he is not willing.

Tears fell in an instant.

"I still want to open a haunted house." West bent down and squatted on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

"Then let's open in Metropolis this time." Clark forced back the tears in his eyes and said to him with a smile.
