Chapter 1716: S: The Apocalypse Event (19)

~11 min read 2,189 words

"You want to directly rob the fleet? Is this feasible?" Spider-Man said somewhat doubtfully. He raised a few points of questioning: "Not to mention so many guards on this ship, how are we going to head to the main control room? The main control room of the spaceship must be the place with the strictest security in the entire fleet. Isn't it throwing ourselves into the net to go there to rob the spaceship's control rights?"

But Helen, Harley, and little Bruce didn't speak. Spider-Man was a bit unconfident. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Is there any problem with what I said?"

Harley pointed at her own head with her finger and said: "You think about it carefully again. Don't you feel that this group of aliens invading Earth is revealing a kind of, how to say... out of touch with the times?"

"They are aliens in the first place, how could they be in the same era as humans?"

Helen looked up at the environment in the spaceship cabin and then said: "Don't you feel that this place and all these people are filled with a kind of lack of imagination?"

"But they are still very powerful. They have so many fleets, and everyone wears that kind of armor with super high defense."

"We don't mean this." Harley shook her head. She sat down cross-legged on the spot and said: "We mean, they are like that kind of villain in cartoons from decades ago without any characteristics, not stylish at all."

"So what?"

"So we can completely infer where their weaknesses are through the logic of villains in cartoons."

Helen also knelt down halfway and began to explain to the others.

Schiller heard their conversation through the Necronomicon in Harley's hand. After flipping through the memory bank in his own Hall of Thought, he found the reason for this abnormal existence.

Simply put, after the New 52 reboot, Darkseid's origin story was changed.

Before, Darkseid was the second prince of Apokolips. At that time, the emperor of Apokolips was his father, and his brother was the heir. One day his brother said he discovered a powerful Omega Effect in the universe. This matter reached Darkseid's ears, so Darkseid plotted against his brother and obtained powerful power.

Later, Darkseid's father, who ruled Apokolips, had an accident. This planet was temporarily ruled by his mother. And at this time, Darkseid fell in love with a female scientist. Darkseid's mother firmly disagreed with this marriage, so she sent someone to assassinate the female scientist.

Darkseid, who lost his beloved, sealed his heart and abandoned his emotions from then on, directed Desaad to poison the Empress, usurped the throne of Apokolips, and became a veritable cold-blooded tyrant.

But after the Flashpoint event universe reboot, Darkseid's background story was changed to that he was just an ordinary farmer on Apokolips. Because he hated a group of ancient god giants on the planet, he came to the cave used by the giants to rest, used words to sow discord and let them kill each other, and finally killed them all with his own sickle. Then Darkseid absorbed their power and transformed the planet into the current Apokolips.

This is also why the Darkseid of this universe would be interested in the equation in Batman's hands, because he didn't obtain the power of Omega from his brother at all. He is now using the power of the ancient gods on Apokolips.

Although this origin was soon changed again and restored to the previous version, Helen and the others clearly came at a very coincidental time. Now Darkseid is still the one who absorbed the power of the ancient gods as a farmer.

And even without careful comparison, it can be seen that after the origin story was changed, Darkseid's stylish value as a villain probably plummeted by two thousand percent overnight.

Once, Darkseid's background story stitched together royal struggle, fratricide, loss of beloved, matricide and revenge, and ruthless usurpation. It would be a ghost if this wasn't strong. It was clearly the kind of villain who would have to be forcibly resurrected in the third season to tell his tragic background story even if he died in the first season.

But the second version, using high emotional intelligence to say it, is that it fully borrowed the style of ancient myths such as the Bible, and it is not inconsistent for a villain to appear in Grimm's Fairy Tales as a story about a runaway bear child.

Although it cannot be said that stylish value equals strength, clearly, who is better at competing for hegemony in the universe between a second prince who has been living in a high-pressure environment for a long time and an irritable farmer can also be judged from common sense.

Even if Darkseid encountered many setbacks later, his force didn't drop too much. It can be said that the period of time when his origin story hasn't been changed back is his weakest period.

The big boss's force is not high enough, and it even makes the style of the entire team look like a typical villain in the early comics. This is the reason why Helen and the others feel old-fashioned everywhere.

Once thinking of this, Schiller discovered that now is the best time for the main universe to deal with Darkseid, because after another period of time, Darkseid's background story will be changed back, his force will go up, and then I am afraid the strength of the entire Female Furies will be greatly improved, and it will be more difficult to play tricks.

Schiller didn't even think for another second and directly controlled the gray mist to send a message to Harley, starting to prepare to leak the questions. After all, judging from the current situation, guessing the behavioral patterns of this group of villains doesn't have any difficulty. It is the kind of question that Bruce could answer ninety points if he came, and it doesn't play any exercise role. It's better to take a shortcut and pass the level directly.

"Tell Viman directly that you have figured it out." Harley read out the text that appeared on the Necronomicon. She frowned, appearing somewhat confused.

The other few people all leaned over, although Helen had already seen through Schiller's true identity, she didn't intend to expose it, just that this time she also didn't keep up with the train of thought, so she asked: "Why tell Viman that we have figured it out? Is it to relax his vigilance and take the opportunity to sneak attack?"

"But there should be many guards beside him, right?" Spider-Man questioned: "Even if we can catch him off guard and knock him down, it's very troublesome for so many guards to pounce on us."

"The key is if we really have a big battle with them, then this spaceship definitely can't be wanted." Helen covered her chest and felt very heartbroken, saying: "These are all precious ancient heritages of our Earth!"

"You guys will know when you go." Schiller wrote again.

Several people discussed for a while and found that this is indeed the best method now. Wanting to take down the main culprit without destroying the spaceship, rushing out directly from here definitely won't work, so it's still necessary to let the guards take them to see Viman.

After a while, Harley patted the glass desperately and shouted: "Come here! Come here! We have figured it out, take us to see your boss, come here quickly!!!"

Not half a minute later, a strong guard walked in. He frowned and looked at the few children with a fierce expression, saying: "What are you shouting about?!"

"Take us to see Viman." Little Bruce crossed his arms, raised his head, and said with an overbearing expression: "We have important clues about Batman to provide to him. If you delay for a while, your General Steppenwolf will be beaten to death by Batman!"

"What did you say?!" This guard immediately glared at little Bruce with wide eyes.

Helen touched Harley with her elbow and said: "Very good, it seems many guards are Steppenwolf's people, the conflict between security personnel and research personnel, um?"

Little Bruce said some family matters about Batman half-truthfully. After all, he himself is Batman, what is there that he doesn't understand?

The guard saw that he spoke truthfully, and he was just a small minion who couldn't learn any important information. If that damn Batman really prepared some trap waiting for General Steppenwolf, and General Steppenwolf accidentally stepped into the trap and had an accident, could it be that they would have to listen to that Viman in the future?

The guard walked out and called a few people. One of the researchers walked up, took an instrument after passing through the glass, gave a few children energy shackles, removed the glass, and let them out.

Little Bruce gave Helen a look, meaning whether to do it now. He could also see that this kind of seemingly magical energy shackle should not be able to stop Helen and Aisha at all, and it might not be able to stop Spider-Man either. The three of them getting out of trouble is equivalent to completely getting out of trouble, so directly killing their way out is not a kind of choice.

Helen shook her head. She knew the true identity of the Necronomicon, so she trusted Schiller's choice very much. Mainly, she felt that if she performed well, she could play games for a while longer next time she was thrown to Schiller's clinic by Stark to do homework.

Thus, several people didn't choose to do it. When following the guard through the spaceship cabin corridor and walking in the corridor, Helen suddenly heard Harley's voice in her ear: "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?"

Helen turned her head to look at Harley. Harley's voice sounded again, but her mouth didn't move. Seeing the slightly confused expression on little Bruce's face who also turned his head, Helen understood that he also heard the voice.

"Now we have the same dark energy in our bodies, so we can communicate by changing the wave frequency of the energy. When dealing with that strange guy later, we can't let them hear our plan."

"Is it like this?" Little Bruce's voice sounded. Clearly, he also quickly mastered this method of sound transmission.

Helen adjusted the power in her body and replied: "This is not bad, but I guess you guys will soon feel that I am wordy."

Several people soon came to the main control room. Although it was the main control room, it was actually a comprehensive operation and office place. The front of the semi-elliptical shape was the control center for the spaceship to receive and send instructions, and the back half was a normal office. The two were separated by a non-enclosed wall.

But as soon as they entered the room, the most eye-catching thing was that a whole wall on the ship's hull of the office was glass, or rather, a highly transparent material similar to glass.

Helen widened her eyes and looked closely, discovering the difference in this transparent material.

They also saw the portholes of the spaceship when passing through the corridor, but most of them were relatively small. The light transmission of transparent materials similar to glass was insufficient. Clearly, the special treatment to improve strength weakened the clarity.

But in fact, the windows of a spaceship are unnecessary, and there is no such thing as a cockpit, because most spaceships don't rely on the pilot's eyesight to operate. Various radars and detection devices are the eyes of the spaceship. The captain of the spaceship relies on reading various data to judge the state of the environment around the spaceship. Making windows is mostly for decorative needs or to reduce the pressure of the crew in a closed space.

It's really rare to make such a large floor-to-ceiling window, Helen thought. She could clearly see that the clarity of this large window behind Viman was quite high, and it seemed to be only one layer.

Suddenly, Helen widened her eyes. She understood Schiller's train of thought and then said: "This guy wouldn't be the kind of person who specially added a luxury floor-to-ceiling window to the spaceship, just to stand in front of the window with a wine glass and appreciate the destruction of the planet and sigh 'such tiny creatures are also struggling to survive, how pathetic'!"

Viman, who was holding a wine glass in front of the window, turned around.

"I often stand here and watch Lord Darkseid's powerful fleet destroy one planet after another, watch all the tiny lives on it struggling constantly, how pathetic..."

Helen slapped her forehead with one hand. ===== CHAPTER 1717 =====

Viman, holding a wine glass by the window, turned around.

"I often stand here watching Lord Darkseid's powerful fleet destroy one planet after another, watching all the lives as weak as you on them struggle endlessly. How pathetic..."

Helen slapped her forehead with a palm.
