Chapter 455: Dazzling Finale (Part 3)
An ordinary person who hadn't slept for two hours in a night, after being woken up again by the violent noise made by several people and the agents' battle, emitted deep resentment, to the point that he needed to borrow wine to drown his sorrows.
Of course, drinking alone wasn't Schiller's style, so he went to find his previous drinking buddy, the Joker Jack. Schiller, who was quite bitter because of insomnia, inadvertently revealed to Jack the situation he saw at the mayor's mansion in Metropolis.
And because Jack was forced to be unemployed at home due to Gotham traffic accidents and snow disasters, he was bored at this time. After hearing such an interesting thing, he couldn't wait to participate in it.
But there was a very practical problem in this, which was how to get Jack to Metropolis.
Of course, there is a very strange law in DC, called the "Batman-Joker Aggregation" law.
Where there is Batman, there is the Joker; where there is the Joker, there is Batman. If the two of them are separated, the other will ignore any physical rules, then suddenly appear where the other is, and give the other's smoothly progressing plan a head-on blow.
Simply put, Batman lives at the head of the Yangtze River, and the Joker lives at the tail of the Yangtze River. The next day, the Yangtze River will become a highway, belonging to a national heavy weapon.
But Schiller discovered that this seemed to follow the observer effect. He stared at Batman on this side, and watched the Joker in the dream, so they couldn't ignore physical rules and bump into each other.
So, the simplest method was actually to return through the path Schiller came, which was to go down from the Joker's dream, all the way to the Dream God's kingdom, borrow the way from the Dream God's kingdom, and then return to Schiller's dream.
Setting aside the Dream God's somewhat shocked and somewhat admiring look when hearing Schiller wanted the Joker to go into his dream, this passage was indeed much faster. In order not to let the Joker stay in the dream kingdom for too long, the Dream God opened the door directly to their faces. Almost in an instant, the Joker was in place.
After the Joker was in place, the next step was to arrange important actors. Schiller chose to deal with Lex, who was the easiest to deal with, first.
Although Lex had a high IQ, his physical condition was really too poor. Schiller found a random reason to enter his room and knocked him unconscious, then used the fragrance of the madness wine to make him enter the dream.
What was more difficult was Bruce. When Constantine was hit last time, he already knew the principle of madness wine. If Schiller directly brought a bottle of wine to find Bruce, he definitely wouldn't get close.
So, Schiller used Selina's characteristic of liking to steal, guided her to the manor's wine cellar, and then let her take a bottle of red wine that had been replaced with madness wine back to the guest room she shared with Bruce.
Bruce didn't drink, but Selina didn't care, and Bruce wouldn't require Selina not to drink. So, the moment Selina opened the wine bottle stopper, Bruce had no defense, and the two were hit by the trick together.
However, Schiller didn't let Selina enter that dream. He just arranged a single room for Selina, letting her go to a playground full of gems to play.
Afterward, to prevent Bruce from waking up midway, he transferred Bruce to another single room, and poured a little madness wine into the wine glass, letting this smell continue to volatilize, keeping the dream stable.
And the most difficult one to handle was Clark. Before taking action, Schiller couldn't even determine whether Clark could absorb this thing.
But fortunately, Clark's vigilance was the lowest, so Schiller just carried the wine bottle that still had more than half a bottle of wine and went to Clark's room.
Clark also didn't drink, but he didn't drink not because he didn't want to, but because the environment he grew up in was relatively simple, his parents didn't let him drink, and after arriving at college, because his interpersonal relationships weren't very good, no one took him to parties, so he hadn't drunk yet.
But he was also a bit curious about wine, so after hearing that Schiller brought a bottle of wine, he couldn't wait to open it and taste it.
This taste was more than half a bottle.
It wasn't until he drank more than half a bottle of the madness wine that Clark finally had a sign of being slightly drunk. He didn't know that if he hadn't been drunk by then, Schiller would have given up on this plan; he really couldn't afford it.
Fortunately, after drinking all the remaining madness wine in the bottle, Clark finally got drunk, but this was just the beginning.
After Clark got drunk, Schiller discovered that he couldn't connect to Clark's dream.
The worst situation happened. The brain waves of Kryptonians might not be compatible with humans. Simply put, it was a Type-C plug that couldn't be plugged into an Android interface.
But fortunately, just like the conversion between two plugs, Schiller could think of some ways to manufacture a converter. After spending quite a bit of effort and finally making a converter, Schiller discovered that the data stored on the opposite side was too large.
As everyone knows, Superman possesses a super brain. Although he doesn't use it much most of the time, half of his super brain is used to control his super strength, but the remaining half is completely not something humans can possess.
Kryptonians only look similar to humans; in fact, they are two completely different species. Therefore, the structure of Kryptonian brains is also completely different from humans. Under the same size, the amount of data that can be stored is completely different.
The reason humans forget is actually that the brain instinctively filters out some unimportant information. The reason humans can't remember certain details of certain environments is also because the brain is processing received information more efficiently.
But Kryptonians don't have this function, because the capacity of their brains is almost infinite, which means they will record every detail of the environment they are in, and all their memories will not be forgotten.
What's even more fatal is that this youth version of Superman hasn't realized he is a
And it wasn't the genius human usage method like Bruce's; Clark used the method of an ordinary human. However, the difference was that the memories and details he thought he had forgotten were actually all stored in his brain.
Since this portion of information was completely beyond his control, and Clark wouldn't restrict its output, the moment Shiler connected to Clark's consciousness, he was flooded by a massive amount of junk information.
For this reason, Shiler had to restrict the output of Clark's consciousness, but this encountered another problem: Clark needed his consciousness to limit his superpowers. If the consciousness connected wasn't enough, but he wanted to feign having normal superpowers, then Clark would definitely discover the anomaly.
A Kryptonian's superpowers are different from the acquired mutations of Peter's; a Kryptonian's superpowers are innate, and the control and application of such abilities are carved into their genes.
Therefore, Shiler couldn't make Clark believe he was a completely ordinary person; this would make Clark feel very awkward. The connection was already unstable to begin with, and once he felt this anomaly, the dream would wake up.
The consciousness couldn't be connected too much, yet the superpowers had to be retained, so the only way was to weaken the superpowers.
But there are techniques to weakening strength. First, Shiler utilized the known setting of radiation to weaken Clark's ability ceiling, making him believe he had become weak due to some unknown radiation. Although your character is strong now, we didn't guarantee he would be just as strong in the future.
Next, in the connected consciousness, he made the part processing emotions account for a larger share. A more emotional way of thinking would weaken his focus on the precision of controlling his abilities. Although your character is strong now, we didn't guarantee which part of him was strong.
Finally, in the latter part, he used Kryptonite to limit the exertion of Clark's superpowers, reducing the computational load used on him. Although your character is strong now, we didn't guarantee there wouldn't be other characters to counter him.
In short, after several major nerfs, the original version's son, Superman Clark, had basically become a version cast-off. At least, at the point when things had progressed to this stage, Shiler still thought so.
But Superman is far from being that simple.
Originally, Clark's role should have ended when he was thrown back into the banquet hall, but what Shiler didn't expect was that his butler, Merkel, chose exactly this moment to search his manor, and happened to come into contact with the bottle of wine that had previously trapped Constantine.
Originally, Shiler could decide who could connect to the dream, but at that time, the performance was at its most exciting part, and Shiler was next door scrubbing a wall while watching the fun, not noticing at all that a very small volume of thought had connected into that room.
The result was that Superman, who should have had no more role, suddenly erupted.
And clearly, Superman specializes in curing all fancy tricks.
Things like light curtains descending, consciousness isolation, consciousness extraction, and even Jormungandr's mental defenses were all useless.
The titles of God of the World and Son of the Sun aren't called that for nothing; even in Shiler's dream, he could still perform a divine descent that ignores physics and logic.
Generally speaking, even if Superman regained his weakened power, it wouldn't cause such severe consequences, but the problem was that Clark at the time had experienced a very great stimulus, and he didn't have good control over his power, so he exploded.
156n.
The consequences of this explosion don't need to be mentioned; Jormungandr, who had been coiled atop the Tower of Thought, was blown away directly. When it landed, the entire snake was dazed.
The two rooms Shiler had previously built had completely disappeared, and also gone were more than twenty floors within the explosion's radius.
But this wasn't the most severe consequence.
On the eve of the explosion, Shiler, realizing that the situation was beyond saving, kicked the other consciousnesses out of the dream, aiming to free up more memory space to cope with the potential impact.
The result was that only three people were left to face this explosion: DC Shiler, Joker Shiler, and Joker Jack.
Not to mention Joker Jack, who basically ran back crying, both DC Shiler and Joker Shiler were at the very center of the nuclear blast.
Although this was Shiler's dream and he had some defensive measures, these two were still blown flat.
Located in the hospital on the 200th floor, Shiler, wearing a white lab coat, looked at the black-suited Shiler lying on the bed with a look of schadenfreude.
At this moment, DC Shiler had a cast on one arm, bandages wrapped around his forehead, and was lying on the bed with a look of hopelessness.
The white-coated Marvel Shiler put away his stethoscope, stood up, and said with slight excitement:
"I've long wanted to go to the DC world to play for a few days. Believe me, I won't mess anything up."
DC Shiler, lying on the left hospital bed, and Joker Shiler, lying on the right hospital bed, exchanged a glance, then sighed deeply at the same time.
