Cosmic dust and planetary debris float in the light like clumps of fireflies.

Tony Stark standing with plaque in museum

Hercule quickly followed and asked inexplicably: "Who made these buildings?"

It won't be him, because Hercule is self-aware. He is not a very imaginative person, and he doesn't like to play infrastructure games. If the game plot lacks a main line like life, he is likely to lose interest in a short period of time.

Tony's answer was not quite what he expected: "The place where I live was designed according to my ideas, and you gave me the authorization. As for this museum, as far as I know, you used to impose Argos on Your memories related to the golden age are stored here, and over time, it automatically evolved into a building like this.”

They walked up the steps, and Tony continued: "Don't touch the things around you and don't look too much. They are memories to you, but they can be elevated into different timelines in the conscious world, and because they are incomplete themselves , and eventually become singular points trapped in the museum. These singular points will affect the surrounding physical laws. The gravity it generates is smaller than the earth's standard gravity in the center of the museum road, and will pull you in. You can come out if you want. Trouble."

Hercule ignored this statement and just moved farther away from the luminous objects placed in the cabinets on both sides like exhibits. He focused his gaze on his feet and asked, "What is the situation in the conscious world now?"

"I think it's like the beginnings of a multiverse."

Tony took him deeper into the building. Sometimes they went up and sometimes down. There was no fixed direction. The people here had confused perceptions of time and space. Sometimes Hercule felt that the path he was going was in the shape of a check mark. The sharp angles sometimes extend to unimaginable distances. Fortunately, there is no shortage of air in the building, and sound can travel normally.

"You know what I mean by the singularity is a form of the universe that existed before the Big Bang. This museum functions like a melting pot of worlds in an extra dimension.

In the outer dimension, the creation goddess Perpetua ordered her eldest son to use the World Forge to forge the multiverse, and the dragon Barbatos was responsible for destroying the unstable dark multiverse in it - this is the origin of the universe as people know it, and you should listen Said. "

"There is no God in the conscious world. You could have taken on this role, but you wisely ignored it, so everything evolved naturally. After enough information and energy are stored in this museum, It has the potential to give birth to a new, vibrant universe at any time.”

"And where I live... you can think of it as a bubble floating in the chaos of ignorance. I designed stars and satellites to imitate the starry sky above people in my memory, so that my living environment is similar to the earth in my impression. It soothes the nerves, but to be honest, it’s bullshit to say how comfortable you can live in such a small space. It only takes me an hour to cross half of the Milky Way and see Cygnus, which is theoretically 3,000 light years away. "It's no different than going to jail."

After mentioning this topic, Tony immediately started to complain. He obviously held it in for a very long time, and he didn't explain the proper names when he mentioned them. He didn't care whether others could understand or not.

How to stop others from being miserable? Just make yourself miserable than them all.

Hercule said: "Sounds about as good as me living in a jar at Apocalypse."

Tony suddenly stopped. He glanced at Hercule and lost interest in expressing his bitterness: "You are right."

"We're almost there. That guy is not like me, and he still has some fun. I think he can't adapt to such a boring and dangerous place."

Hercule could more or less guess who he was talking about.

There is absolutely no suspense about this candidate, because one premise is that if Hercule wants to create a person as vivid as Tony Stark who can act independently, have fun, miss his wife and daughter, and be bored enough to use a pelican The person who made little Morgan cry because of the Pelicans, the data he needs is overwhelming.

Few superheroes meet this requirement. In the late stage of the Yiwen Universe, most of the people involved have died in the battle or escaped from the world. Even Argos is unable to make a living without straw.

For example, Hercule had retrieved the memory of Superman's teenage friend Lana Lang, so when he was walking along the museum just now, he met Superboy, who looked particularly like a living person.

However, there was no conversation between the two. Tony stopped Hercule and asked him to stay away from the handsome young man who was like the rising sun next to the Singularity Point: "It's not a human. Don't blame me for not warning you."

Hercule and 'Superboy' looked at each other. The child had messy black hair on his head and sweat on his forehead. He rolled up one cuff to his muscular forearm as if he had just come back from the fields, and his whole body exuded a steaming feeling. He looked at Hercule with his blue eyes, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and waved to the detective.

There was no communication between the two parties from beginning to end, and Tony didn't say what exactly 'not a human being' meant, but Hercule did intuitively feel that there was something incongruous about Superboy, and the sense of dissonance was looming, almost creepy.

Most of the humanoid creatures living in museums are not human and are not alive. The exception is Tony Stark, who left the strange building from his first day of consciousness, while the other exception chooses to stay.

——It's Batman.

In fact, Hercule thought it would be more dramatic to say names like Riddler or Darkseid at this time.

Unfortunately, life does not become more subtle because of reversals, and neither does logic. From the beginning, the most reliable memory provider Hercule had access to was Argus Brother-Eye, who was created by Batman and later gave birth to self-awareness and established Apocalypse Corporation.

Back then, Argos had a hundred chances to kill Morgan Stark, thus cutting off one of Hercule's most powerful arms - even though he didn't know that Hercule and Morgan had become allies. But he didn't do that. Instead, after Morgan refused to work for him, he said:

"It seems that you care more about personal honor and morality than the future of the universe. I am not murderous and have no reason to do anything to you. As you said, labor can be replaced. I wish you find the life you want. goodbye."

Generally speaking, Argos is not a murderer, nor is he sadistic. He is not the kind of mad scientist who would consume a large number of human lives in scientific research that is destined to be fruitless (this does not mean that he will refuse human experiments and inevitable 'sacrifice' when necessary). When he decided to put the first When people brought the memory of the golden age to Hercule, they must have seen the possibility of success.

Where does his confidence come from?

A case that lives up to expectations.

He gave Hercule his memories of Batman.

Bruce Wayne sits in a high-backed chair in a space station-like room. In front of him was a rectangular transparent glass wall, and on the opposite side of the wall was a huge tree with no edges visible. From this angle, no matter where you look, you can only see the knotted trunks and lush branches. There are stars in the middle of the leaves, and the rainbow light is reflected, which is incomparably beautiful.

In Norse mythology, the branches of a giant tree constitute the entire world, and its name is "Yuktrashir". Its trunk gave rise to nine kingdoms, including the earth where humans live, the Atrium.

Somehow, Bruce Wayne determined that the tree in front of him was the counterpart of "Yuktrasiel" in the conscious world. It is still a seedling, its root system is not deep enough, and its leaves are not strong enough. It was shivering in the hurricane caused by the instigation of the singularity, as if it would die at any time in a severe winter of ice and snow.

Bruce just observed it through a glass wall. He spent 48 real hours and 126 imaginary virtual hours in the room. However, in the museum, according to the general theory of relativity, space and time will form an uneven space-time continuum. This continuum is bent by matter and energy. Therefore, even in a room with relatively stable physical rules, there is no need to record time.

He decided to stay here more based on his physical sensations or to leave for the next observation point.

Usually no one interrupts his plans.

But occasionally, there are exceptions.

——"Hercules is back." A familiar voice came from behind him, originating from the second living person in the conscious world. Tony Stark kicked open the door of the room carelessly and led the detective to the front of the world tree "Yggdrasil".

"The duel between the Lost Universe and the 21st century is about to come to an end. Do you have any remarks you would like to make, Batman?"

The high-backed chair swiveled silently to the other side.

Compared to Tony Stark, who was dressed as if he were hanging out in his own home, Bruce Wayne acted much more formal. He looks ready to go into battle or speak as the Dark Knight at any moment, with the proverbial 'Batman-standard' black mask on his face and body covered in armor.

But the first thing that distinguishes him from the real Batman is that he has not shaved. The short gray stubble covers his chin, giving people a heavy sense of vicissitudes of life. On the other hand, he did not wear a cape, but wore a black stand-up collared robe over a tights, like Count Dracula who had just climbed out of the coffin.

Hercule had no problem with either of their clothes.

He calmly pulled out two chairs from the corner, sat under the light of the World Tree and asked: "Now that we are all here, you two, what are we going to talk about next?"

"Tell me something you don't know." Tony sat down and rocked the swivel chair and said, "For example, let's assume that you are not sure what the game system on your body is."

Batman frowned slightly. He corrected: "We are not sure either. You told us a long time ago and we relayed this information to you. Most of it lacks evidence."

Tony refuted Batman's rebuttal: "But it's all Hercule who you think is correct after sorting out the clues."

"..." Batman shut his mouth.

"Do you still have any opinions? I won't continue without me." Tony said, "Let's start from the beginning, your time travel. You came to the strange universe, and there were two things that followed your soul. One was the system, and the other It is a paradise on earth. The former is a "story" written by a high-dimensional simulator game on the "Taixu" outside the multiverse, and the latter is a new god born through stories. The paradise on earth is in the universe after the end. There is only one God who will never die as long as the story does not end.”

Hercule made a pause gesture: "What exactly is Taixu?":,,.
