Chapter 467: Past Secrets (Part 3)

"Doomsday, this name is too strange, right?"

"It's just the literal meaning. When he appears, that day will be the doomsday for the entire earth and even the entire universe."

Bruce and Lex felt their hearts stop for a moment, especially Bruce. After he walked over, he looked straight into Schiller's eyes and said: "Don't you have any way either?"

"I'm not sure." Schiller gave an ambiguous answer, but Bruce was obviously not satisfied with this answer. However, he didn't ask again, because he was not a person who placed his hope on others.

"What is his weakness?"

"I don't know clearly, perhaps there is no weakness." Schiller gave another desperate answer, but at this time, Clark's steady and firm voice sounded:

"Impossible, things that exist in this world must have weaknesses. Perhaps I can deal with him..."

"Perhaps you can kill him once, but when he appears again, the weakness of the first time will no longer exist."

"He will evolve?" Bruce instinctively grasped the key in Schiller's words.

"Yes, however..." Schiller deliberately dragged a long tone, and everyone's eyes looked at him. He said: "But it seems someone has already given a solution."

As he spoke, he walked a little closer and looked at that egg.

The shell of this egg was opaque, so the situation inside couldn't be seen, but the whole egg could be seen trembling slightly, as if there was a heartbeat, just beating very slowly.

"Will Kryptonite have an impact on it?" Schiller muttered to himself. As he spoke, he looked up at those strange devices emitting Kryptonite light again and said: "... What kind of formation is this again?"

"It seems that someone used a method to seal this egg?" Lex also walked up. His brain was constantly thinking, and then Bruce followed. Although his eyes were heavy, they also contained a trace of curiosity.

"The situation is not as dangerous as I described, because this monster hasn't hatched yet, and someone has already found a way to suppress this egg."

"But he will eventually hatch, right?"

Schiller looked at Bruce with a scrutinizing gaze, because he recalled a law of the DC universe.

All DC universes have light and darkness. In the dark universe, all things are sliding downward unstoppably, that is, all bad things will happen.

If this was the dark universe, then this egg would probably hatch in the near future. But before, the Laughing Egg in Bruce's body not only didn't hatch, but was killed by Schiller using the righteous group fight method, and finally was borrowed by the Parallax Monster.

This shows that the probability of this universe being a dark universe is not very high. However, in the light universe, powerful villains may not necessarily not appear.

Doomsday is actually Superman's nemesis. In the famous comic "The Death of Superman," it was he who killed Superman.

"The Death of Superman" has a relatively complex historical background. At that time, DC company was not operating well, and they needed some gimmicks to attract more fans to buy their comics, so they planned to ruin one of their most famous superheroes, Superman.

In order to create enough gimmicks, this comic was named "The Death of Superman." In order to achieve the goal of killing Superman, Doomsday was set to be very strong, defeating the Justice League except Superman with one hand, and even pulling the Flash out of the Speed Force while running.

After running to Apokolips, he ate a shot of Darkseid's Omega Beam and didn't die. Later, he developed the ability of Doomsday spores, and finally infected Superman, creating Doomsday Superman.

In short, it was a villain who was outrageously strong, and like all villains made in a rush, although the ability setting was unreasonable, the background setting was approximately equal to nothing.

Schiller thought, it seems that in this universe, the origin story of Doomsday is a bit complex, and it is not the product of Kryptonian scientists' hand-slip.

In the comics, when Doomsday appeared, he was already a complete body. A complete Doomsday is not completely invincible either. Schiller has some ways to defeat him or seal him, but because Doomsday often resurrects in the comics and seems not to die completely, Schiller doesn't have the confidence to kill him completely.

However, the Doomsday appearing here is an egg, which gave Schiller some other ideas.

Just at this time, Bruce discovered some details. He walked to the wall of this underground cavity and reached out to touch the slightly damp rock. He said: "Judging from the state of the rock, this should have been excavated decades ago, at least twenty or thirty years ago..."

He muttered to himself: "What happened then?"

"So, what happened later?" On the manor corridor, Kayla looked at Alfred and asked.

"When I learned that the force called the Court of Owls might want to create a terrible monster to rule all of Cat Getan, I had to consider the harm of this monster."

"If an uncontrolled super monster is created, the threat might not just be to the United States, but to all humans living on Earth. That group of madmen can not care, but I can't."

"So, I found Falcone and expressed my intention to him. At first, he was unwilling to believe me, but he had no other choice..."

"Why?"

"Because, in Cat Getan, people who can do equations are considered rare species, and I graduated from the Department of Mathematics at Cambridge University..."

Kayla was silent. She thought of what she had seen and heard in Cat Getan before and felt that Alfred's words were not exaggerated.

"Of course, there is another reason. Falcone and Daniel noticed all this, but their intelligence sources were very few, because they were not professional agents and couldn't get too much information at all. At that time, they didn't even know the name Court of Owls."

"And I am a professional agent who can investigate this matter for them. So, the three of us reached a consensus and launched cooperation, and finally, we made some trouble, but still got that egg."

"Oh, I remember, the file says that Cat Getan seemed to have many vicious incidents during that period, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation went to investigate, but also lost many people, some of whom caught a glimpse of some mysterious phenomena, so this case spread more and more mysteriously..."

"Yes, that group of people is not easy to deal with, and we also paid a considerable price. Because of this, Falcone firmly refused to allow this egg to be sealed in Cat Getan, because Cat Getan is his territory."

【Author's Note: fantuan.】

"So you chose Metropolis?"

"This egg stayed in our hands for a long time, and we couldn't find a reasonable way to deal with it."

"At that time, the limelight had passed. Originally, I could set off to return to Moscow, but just at this time, Moscow sent me news that Harold Kim Philby had escaped, and he himself had already returned to Moscow."

"Although I have some understanding of the style of MI6, this matter still exceeded my expectations. Obviously, since Philby himself had successfully escaped, this list was not so important to Moscow, and there was no need to bring it back across the ocean."

"However, this list is still very important to other countries. Because the Soviet Union has it, they must also have it, otherwise they will always be one step behind. So, the news of Philby's escape not only didn't lower the importance of the list in the eyes of various countries, on the contrary, they were even more crazy to find where the list was, to obtain information equal to the Soviet Union."

"The Soviet Union doesn't need it, but other countries need it very much. That actually the best way is to find a place to hide it, so I hid it in Cat Getan, and after this limelight passed, I returned to Moscow first to seek a way to solve that egg, but..."

"In the end, I still returned to the UK."

"About a dozen years later, my father asked me to inherit the position of hereditary butler and go to the Wei En family to become their butler. At that time, I told Moscow this news. They felt it was a very good opportunity. After all, the Wei En family is the richest family on the East Coast and even in the United States..."

"So, at first, you were performing an undercover mission in the Wei En family?"

"That's right. However, later some things happened, and the Wei En couple passed away." Alfred's expression looked a bit sad. He said: "Only the little young master was left alone, and I had to raise him up."

"At that time, I had already planned to give up the profession of agent."

Kayla nodded to show she could understand. She said: "Many people feel that agents should always be loyal to their goals, but we are also humans and have feelings. We are not machines that complete tasks..."

Alfred shook his head and said: "The feelings for the little young master are not entirely the reason why I wanted to give up the profession of agent..."

"Then what other reasons are there?"

Alfred was silent. His expression revealed a trace of hesitation, as if he didn't know whether he should say

"Who?"

"The Soviets."

Kara still wanted to press for more, but Alfred chose to remain silent. After a moment of silence, Alfred spoke again; his voice was no longer as full of vigor, instead revealing his old age without a doubt.

"Perhaps I am a shameful deserter, or perhaps I am just unwilling to face certain cruel facts again."

"It could also be that I knew I couldn't maintain my sanity when facing the corruption of those great ideals and glorious years..."

"But in the end, I chose to say a complete goodbye to the past."

"When I returned to Cat Getan and became the butler for the Wei En family, Falcone told me that they had properly handled that egg. I don't know the specific process, but in the end, that egg was placed deep underground at the Metropolis estate."

"Falcone told me that initially, they just found a place outside of Cat Getan to put this egg, but later, they discovered a type of fallen alien mineral that seemed capable of suppressing the egg's life activity very well, so they converted that place into a massive seal."

Kara frowned and asked: "Is this seal secure?"

"I can only say that it can delay the time for the monster to hatch; as for how to specifically destroy this monster, we still have no clue."

Alfred put down the shotgun in his hand, propping it against the ground with the muzzle, and looked out the window, saying: "This is also one of the reasons why I wanted Bruce to come here."

"In the guest list you gave me, I saw that professor's name. I know he is not an ordinary person and has the ability to ensure everyone's safety. Bruce was raised by me, and I know what kind of astonishing intelligence he possesses..."

"If there is only one way in this world to crack the secret of this mysterious monster and destroy it, I believe the joint effort of these two will be the best answer."

And at this moment, Schiller, who was deep in thought within the underground cavity, heard the voice of the Gray Fog coming from his mind:

"Food! So much food! Eat!"

"Food? Where is the food coming from?" Schiller asked, puzzled.

"The green stone, it smells so good! Let me take a bite!"

"The green stone..." Schiller turned his head, looked at the Kryptonite device closest to him, and asked in surprise:

"You eat Kryptonite???"

"Yeah! It smells delicious!"

"Then why didn't you say anything when we were outside before?"

"That didn't taste good; only the one here tastes good!"

"But the Kryptonite here is meant to seal this egg..."

"I'm hungry! I've been hungry for so long! I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat!"

Bruce, who was studying the rock layers nearby, discovered that the look in Schiller's eyes as he stared at that egg had suddenly become somewhat strange.
