Chapter 1068 The God the Old Superman Had Never Seen Before, Chen Tao
One interesting aspect of the timeline split is that...
The moment you begin making a decision, your actions will create ripples on the timeline.
Welcome to the main world upstream of the Hypertime Stream.
This place existed before any thought.
Imagine a single history, unfolding along a linear path. But with the emergence of humankind, the fantasy of free will also arose, and with this fantasy came chaos.
When the idea of splitting the timeline of the DC multiverse to fight Doctor Manhattan enters the minds of Ozymandias and Lex Luthor, the DC multiverse will begin to presuppose this reality.
Whether this presupposed reality can be solidified depends on whether Odysseus and his companion succeed, but if the DC multiverse deems this reality to be in its favor—
It will then provide assistance to Pharaoh and Lex Luthor.
This is the so-called manifest destiny of the DC multiverse.
Chen Tao waited for the right opportunity.
This isn't the beginning of Crisis on Infinite Earths, when many heroes faced the Anti-Monitor. Nor is it many years after the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths, when the two old Supermen of Earth fell into villainy during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
At these times, the two old Supermen on Earth were either burdened by the weight of the entire world, or they were disheartened, or they were contemplating suicide, making them unsuitable as saviors of the DC multiverse.
Only when the crisis of Infinite Earth has just been resolved and we have entered the Heavenly dimension.
At that time, the two old superheroes on Earth believed that everything they had done was meaningful, that they had saved the world, and that they had created a wonderful new era.
Chen Tao was looking for the most experienced and greatest Superman, so that the old Superman from Earth-2 could once again become the center of the source universe.
The ending of Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Alexander Luthor Jr., Earth-2's Superman, and Superman Super-Prime joined forces to kill the Anti-Monitor, but they too were about to die in the Anti-Monitor's final explosion.
According to the original history, Alexander the Great would find a way to open a passage to the Heavenly Dimension, where they would then live in seclusion until they witnessed the imperfections of the new world's superheroes and became so angry that they left the Heavenly Dimension, triggering an infinite crisis.
But this time, history is changing.
"Don't worry, Superboy, the place we're going to has no fear, only peace, eternal peace."
The old Superman said that standing next to him was Superboy, who at that time did not yet have the title of Superboy, but was called Superboy.
(Note: This translation is used here to distinguish it from Superboy Connor.)
"It's better to venture into the unknown than to die alone."
At this moment, Old Lois from Earth 2, Old Superman from Earth 4, Superman Superman, and Alexander Luthor Jr. were all ready.
They were about to enter the Heavenly Dimension when, at that moment, the old Superman from Earth 2 suddenly heard a familiar sound, though he had never heard it before.
The sound was like the wind blowing through the pages of a huge book.
Everything vanished: Alexander Luther Jr., his wife, and the future Superman Supreme.
He sat up abruptly and found himself in a lush, fragrant forest. He stood up in astonishment.
"What happened?"
The old Superman looked around blankly.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"
He thought he had entered the heavenly dimension, but he clearly remembered that he had not yet taken a step inside.
He didn't know how he got there. He stumbled to his feet, and all his superpowers seemed to have vanished into thin air.
He wandered around aimlessly, then turned around the boulder—
"oh!"
Under the warm and gentle sunlight, Superman saw a melancholy dragon lying among the flowers, the sunlight shining on the outstretched wings on its back.
With his wings slightly outstretched and his arms outstretched, the shadow cast on the ground was as dark as a cascading galaxy.
"Hello there."
The old Superman heard the dragon say in a sorrowful tone, "I am Batman Dragon, and today is another day when I can't retire."
The old Superman stared at the face of the monster before him.
That long, narrow, dinosaur-like snout... it looks like some kind of transformation effect, like Beast Boy's transformation using the Crimson of All Beings.
But that's not the point.
Superman's intuition warned him that just seconds before, he had killed the sixth-dimensional god of the DC multiverse, the Anti-Monitor, who was on par with the Monitor, and saved the DC multiverse from being completely devoured by the Anti-Monitor.
Only a few minutes had passed.
Even with his superhuman vision, he wasn't so oblivious as to miss the antimatter cosmic energy surrounding the dragon before him, as well as a few other forces he didn't recognize.
The old Superman comes from a time before the World Forgers appeared. He has never seen dark matter energy, but that does not affect his judgment.
The old Superman realized who he had met.
He felt a little shaky.
Because he encountered another sixth-dimensional deity, in the most unexpected and sudden way.
"No," said the old Superman from Earth 2.
"Damn it."
He subconsciously assumed a fighting stance, as if it were just another battle. He took a step forward, then realized something was wrong. He turned his head and saw a copy of himself still standing there. He was like a character in a dropped video, watching his previous self remain in the same spot, perfectly balanced like a statue.
Batman Dragon remained silent.
"Whatever this place is, it is definitely not the Heaven dimension," said the old Superman.
"I have to leave here; my wife Louise is waiting for me."
He slowly backed away, and then heard the other person say, "We're outside of time, Clark. I'm waiting for you to rush up and fight me without asking any questions, and then we'll start after we've calmed down."
Then he heard the dragon pause, and then continue: "Or perhaps I'm waiting for your opinion, and then sniff around, asking what my intentions are in taking away the power of the Anti-Monitor."
"Okay, what if I asked you this question?"
The old Superman said.
"Okay, the DC multiverse needs your salvation, and I don't mean now, I mean in the future."
The old Superman was silent for a while.
Then he asked, "What will the world be like in the future?"
Before Chen Tao could answer, he quickly asked, "Are there no more bad people? Is everyone able to find a job if they want one? Have we created a perfect world without supervillains after defeating the anti-surveillance agents?"
Chen Tao didn't know how to answer him.
