Chapter 3594

A golden light flashed, and Barry appeared in Shiler's office. He let out a long breath and then collapsed on the sofa beside him.

Shiler walked to the water dispenser, poured him a glass of water and placed it in front of him, saying, "Exhausted, right?"

"It's okay," Barry drank the glass of water in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "This time it wasn't just me, there was also Clark's brother, that is, H'El, he helped a lot."

"Where did you learn the technology to restart the universe?"

"Just from that Flash—uh, let me think—it's the Flash who created Thomas Wayne. Their universe had restarted before."

"How did you think of learning this?"

"Always have to do some insurance," Barry spread his hands and said, "That crossing was quite dangerous. If it hadn't succeeded, we wouldn't be able to deal with H'El, and then Earth would be destroyed. I had to learn the restart technology just in case, otherwise how would I dare to take action?"

"But I feel this is not quite the same as restarting, more like time reversal. Did you make any innovations yourself?"

"Not really, mainly H'El is more powerful," Barry smiled and said, "If I were to restart, I could only hard restart, and I wouldn't know which time point I would return to. But he can control time, as long as he intercepts a period of time and plays it backward, he can achieve the effect of time backtracking."

"Sounds very complicated, but the effect is indeed very good."

"That's right, actually the difficulty here lies in how to retain the memories of specific people. I ran all over the Earth these past few days and marked everyone who needed to retain memories. I was very careful when backtracking, for fear of hurting their brains."

"Then you came to find me that day also to mark me?"

"You could say that, but mainly to let you know what we were doing. You should have guessed it, right, Professor?"

"I had some ideas when I saw you," Shiler nodded and said, "After all, you have been in contact with the Battleworld for so long, you must know many other Flashes. You couldn't not learn universe restart technology. But I didn't expect you to choose time backtracking. Does this ability have any limitations?"

"Only the first time will be more strenuous," Barry said, "Because you have to mark the people who retain memories one by one, and it will be very simple afterward."

"How many times can it backtrack?"

"We don't know either. This backtracking looks like the universe is quite sturdy, I guess backtracking thousands or tens of thousands of times won't have any problems. But I still hope Brainiac is smarter and doesn't always make me work hard."

"I think it's enough," Shiler also went to pour himself a glass of water, and then said, "What if he just runs away in this week?"

"His underlying protocol is with me, where can he run? Although this thing can't directly destroy him, it will bring him many restrictions. If he doesn't honestly clear the level, don't even think about me returning this thing to him."

"Brainiac met you guys, it's really meeting a ghost," Shiler sighed.

"I guess he should have contacted the Justice League by now. But he won't get anything, the Justice League still won't help him. Either he does it himself, or he finds the human government."

"You retained the memories of the human government high-level?"

"That's right," Barry nodded and said, "Fear is the best teacher for humans. If once is not enough, do it a few more times. The fear of death will always teach them unity."

"I think your Justice League should change its name," Shiler said, "Maybe it can be called the Tomorrow League—whoever doesn't listen to you, don't even think about seeing tomorrow's sun."

Barry laughed. His phone rang, and after looking down at it, he stood up and said, "Oliver called me to hold a review meeting. I'm leaving, Professor."

"Go, be careful on the way."

Shiler looked at the TV again. It was no longer Brainiac inside, his TV speech stopped abruptly, and he didn't cite examples of the wealth gap to brag about himself like before.

Clearly this super artificial intelligence already knew what had just happened, and even more knew who was making trouble. But as Barry said, the Justice League wouldn't help him.

Brainiac possesses the highest 12th-level intelligence, and in some aspects, he is almost omnipotent. But he has one biggest weakness, which is that he is not immune to the rules of the universe.

He is never a character who can jump out of the rules of the universe. Whether it is the laws of space or time, they are iron laws to him, and he cannot change these things.

Of course, he can also build a big machine based on his intelligence—it mainly depends on how the editor writes it. But Shiler is very sure that with the Justice League's first-mover advantage, the Brainiac of their universe will not have this opportunity.

Now, it's week two time. Shiler also really wants to know how many weeks this self-proclaimed smart artificial intelligence needs to clear this hell-difficulty level.

No matter how powerful Brainiacs in other universes are, they didn't fight the Justice League, the Yellow Lantern Corps, and Apokolips at the same time. This is equivalent to putting Valkyrie, the Burning Legion, and the Emperor into the same BOSS room, which game designer designs like this?

And Shiler suspects that the Yellow Lantern Corps is just a lead, and the third-party force is the Guardians of the Universe and all the emotional spectrum Lantern Corps under them. If this were really made into a game, the difficulty curve would be sprayed to death.

Actually, according to Shiler's feeling, the Brainiac of their universe seems to be still very young. It may be because the Justice League is generally young and moved on Krypton too early, Brainiac hadn't had time to harm the universe before being forcibly pulled over, showing a kind of clear stupidity.

Brainiacs in other universes just want to put planets and civilizations into bottles for collection, but now this Brainiac doesn't seem to have clicked this skill yet.

Otherwise, if he wanted to find the Mother Box on Earth, he would just put it in a bottle and look for it slowly. But it's hard to say whether the Justice League would have other crooked tricks.

Even if Brainiac collected Earth into a bottle, they could still leave through the Battleworld after all. By then, pulling villains from other universes over, maybe the BOSS list could be even richer, and Brainiac would still have a headache.

Shiler sat back behind his desk, looking at a pile of unread emails in a daze. He should have let Barry mark his students just now, so if Brainiac came for a few hundred weeks, this group of people would graduate no matter how stupid they were, right?

Just at this time, the door was knocked. Pamela pushed the door and walked in, showing a smile to Shiler and saying, "Good evening, Professor. Are you okay?"

"Not bad," Shiler nodded and said, "How about you?"

"I'm exhausted," Pamela sat on the sofa and said, "Retaining memories also has the disadvantages of retaining memories. I just ran around for a few days, and now I have to continue with research."

"Who all retained memories?" Shiler asked.

"Everyone who has worked for the Justice League retained them," Pamela said, "Of course there are also human government high-level, and some relatively important existences, such as you. And those we can't influence, such as Lucifer."

Just after speaking, Shiler's phone rang.

"What happened?!!!!!" Lucifer's roar came from the other end of the phone, "Why did the universe restart?!!"

"How would I know?" Shiler countered, "How did you guys build the universe? Why is the time structure so unstable? Do you know that my students could have graduated if it weren't for this?"

"Uh..." Lucifer choked. He paused for a long time, clearly checking the timeline, "Good guy, so it turns out... why is the Justice League of your universe so unreliable?! There are aliens invading, and instead of thinking about beating them away, you restart the universe and use him as free labor?!"

"Then you call and scold them, why find me?"

"I thought you restarted it," Lucifer said, "Besides you, who else can do this?"

Shiler heard a different meaning from his words, so he said, "Let's not talk about that for now, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Shall we go eat?"

"I'm coming." The next second, Lucifer appeared in the office. He straightened his tie, coughed twice, and then said, "Let's go, what shall we eat?"

Shiler turned off the computer and stood up, saying, "Good restaurants all need reservations, so we don't have many choices. Let's eat at the school cafeteria."

Lucifer sighed, but still left the office with Shiler. Walking on the way to the cafeteria, he said, "You should persuade them to take it easy. The structure of the universe is very delicate, which also means it is very fragile. If you guys break it yourselves, then you can only restart it completely."

"I know you won't let it break," Shiler said, "In a way, he can also be considered a relic of your old friend. No... saying it like this is unlucky, after all, he hasn't died yet."

The two came to the cafeteria and found a seat to sit down. After ordering, Lucifer looked at Shiler and said, "You almost scared me to death."

Shiler picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, smiling and saying, "Why? You thought I blew myself up again?"

"It's not like you can't do that, you guys are simply of the same lineage," Lucifer snorted coldly and said, "If you blew yourself up again and ran back, who do you plan to bring over?"

"I don't have any good candidates," Shiler said, "But I'm a bit strange, you know he hasn't died, why don't you go find him?"

"Uh..." Lucifer shifted his gaze with a guilty conscience.

"Because you two quarreled? How long has it been."

"For you humans, it's quite long, but for me, it's equivalent to yesterday. Can't you let us have a cold war for a few days?"

Shiler suddenly realized. No wonder—from Lucifer's time perspective, things from more than ten years ago can't even be called yesterday, it should be said that they just finished quarreling in the last second.

"Alright, as you wish," Shiler said, "How many times do you think our universe can experience such time backtracking?"

"I'm not sure," Lucifer said, "The method you guys adopted is very clever. This doesn't belong to a universe restart, it just interfered with the timeline, equivalent to creating another timeline. As long as you handle the abandoned timeline well, there shouldn't be any problems. But can you guys handle it well?"

"I'm not too sure about this, I'll send a message to ask Barry later."

Just after speaking, Lucifer was stunned for a moment, and then said somewhat laughably: "They just handled that abandoned timeline. Guess how they did it?"

Shiler looked at him.

"They threw it to Doomsday to eat."

"Doomsday can still eat this thing?"

"I just found out too."

The two stared at each other with big eyes. Lucifer clicked his tongue and said, "It seems it should have been digested, but it doesn't exclude the possibility of having a stomachache in the middle of the night... Wait a minute. Why did Bruce take her to Heaven? They wouldn't be thinking of taking a shit in the Lake of Eden, would they?!!!"

?? "Edge of Tomorrow" is a movie about time loops, another mystery in the mystery, hahaha!
