Chapter 730
Eternity never felt that there was any question in this world that he couldn't answer. A truly omniscient and omnipotent existence, an incarnation of the eternal universe, should of course know any truth in this world and be able to give the answer to any question.
But now, he found that he couldn't answer Spider-Man. More importantly, after Spider-Man finished speaking, faint white light was emitted in the entire Eternity Temple.
Peter and Deadpool were both shrouded in this light, and Eternity, who was irradiated by this light, found that his omnipotence and domain could not penetrate into the light. That was a world unknown to him.
Who in this world has the right to interpret the Gospel? Perhaps many people have it, but Eternity certainly doesn't.
Fundamentally speaking, whether it is OAA or Eternity, they are functional gods. Simply put, their existence is necessary, a necessary condition for the universe to run smoothly, and the foundation of the whole world.
Their omniscience and omnipotence come from their way of existence. They are the universe itself and above the universe. Their entire scope of responsibility is to let the universe run smoothly.
God loves the world is not within their scope of responsibility.
Of course, in the official setting of Marvel, OAA's weapon is love. Whether this is influenced by the content of the Gospel is unknown, but the expression of God loves the world certainly does not include killing your beloved relatives in every universe.
Of course, the doctrine also includes the theory of atonement and the theory of trial. However, if Spider-Man is a believer, why would he get a more tragic fate than those non-believers in every universe?
Could it be that God can love everyone, but cannot love Spider-Man? If this is true, then how can we talk about God loves the world and universal values?
Eternity couldn't give an answer to this question, and he didn't dare to give an answer to this question.
Marvel comics have a characteristic, that is, they are not very willing to explore issues related to reality. Marvel is more inclined to commercialization and is not willing to discuss sensitive topics, which affects commercial value. Occasional discussions are also superficial.
On the contrary, DC comics always like to touch on topics related to human nature and society, and even published comics specifically exploring social issues such as *Hard Traveling Heroes*.
This is also the source of fighting between fans of both sides. DC fans always mock Marvel for having no depth, and Marvel fans always mock DC for moaning without illness. Both sides have fought until today, and there is no result. On the contrary, the editorial departments of both sides have a good friendship.
If it were in DC, Spider-Man asked this question, then there must be a series of comics specifically exploring this issue: trial theory, atonement theory, universal theory. Is it justification by works, or justification by faith? Is it man who loves God first, or God who loves man first? These are all worth exploring.
However, Eternity, running under the Marvel system, chose to remain silent.
However, he couldn't give an answer, and this matter couldn't be solved. If one day Deadpool wanted to vent his anger for his good friend again, wouldn't the Eternity Temple have to guard against "shit-flooding-the-golden-mountain" every day?
He couldn't answer, and he couldn't send them away. If he sent them away, he would worry about them coming back. For the current plan, Eternity only had one method left, which was to report to the top.
I can't answer this question. Boss, you figure it out.
Eternity sighed and said to Peter, "Wait here for a while. I have to go out. When I come back, perhaps there will be an answer."
Peter was a bit confused. He didn't understand why Eternity was leaving.
Actually, he didn't expect Eternity to give an answer either, but Shiler asked him to ask this, and he happened to have a fire in his heart, so he just did as Shiler said.
Peter really felt it was a bit unfair. Even if it didn't involve faith, all the Spider-Men in the multiverse and their families didn't do anything bad. Why did they have to encounter all this?
To talk about the content of the Spider-Man comic, it can really be called a history of blood and tears behind laughter.
As the pillar of sales for the Marvel editorial department, Spider-Man's status as the number one brother didn't bring him any good luck. On the contrary, basically every Spider-Man had a bitter story.
At least one loved one died, the girlfriend designed by the previous editor was written to death by the next editor, in order to maintain Spider-Man's approachable image, he often had to do odd jobs because of lack of money, those who made a name for themselves were killed by the Inheritors family, and those who didn't make a name for themselves were scolded for only knowing how to throw punches and not knowing how to use their brains.
If it were only one or two universes, it could be called a coincidence, but every universe was about the same. The status of a biological father, the treatment of a picked-up child, Spider-Man can be said to be Marvel's number one unlucky guy.
Peter felt that even if Spider-Man wasn't perfect, he didn't deserve this, right?
If there were no gods, it could only be said that they were unlucky themselves. But there was clearly an omniscient and omnipotent god who could arrange everything in the universe at will. Then why did he target Spider-Man so much?
After saying those words, he already felt that his mood was much better. Essentially, Peter didn't do good deeds for rewards. He didn't feel that he was a good person, so he deserved to enjoy everything. He asked this question, on the one hand, Shiler instigated it, and on the other hand, it was just to vent his anger.
It can even be said that this performance among all Spider-Men can be said to be tough. Others didn't even think about questioning a god. Peter can only be said to be a soft-hearted person who is slightly more normal.
In the temple, Peter had already pulled Deadpool and prepared to leave, but Eternity was still going over mountains and ridges on the way to the company.
Wanting to cross the barrier of the world is not that simple. Even Eternity has to spend a lot of effort. Moreover, having been sent to such a remote place, and still running to the headquarters every day to trouble the big boss, Eternity felt that he was really not far from resigning.
At this time, OAA, who was in the Marvel main universe, looked at the clean and tidy main universe and felt very relieved. Fortunately, his actions were clean and neat, and didn't cause greater losses.
And just at this time, the Living Tribunal sent a message to him that the Eternity of a universe he had just kicked out had come to find trouble again.
Of course, compared to the five great cosmic entities, OAA's emotional thinking is weaker, or rather, his function requires his logic to be stronger and more rational, so he pays more attention to Eternity's purpose.
Eternity only brought Peter's last sentence to OAA, but it choked OAA so much that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Although they were superior and subordinate, OAA couldn't answer the question that Eternity couldn't answer either.
How could he answer? Answer that God doesn't love the world? That would be too easy to be physically transcended. But if he answered that God loves the world, just doesn't love Spider-Man, and said Spider-Man is an outcast and an unrighteous person, then would the comic still need to be sold?
Even if it is said that this is a trial or atonement, once discussed, this issue will be finished.
OAA always felt that this two-headed problem sounded a bit familiar, not quite like Spider-Man's style, but rather like...
OAA and Eternity had a dark exchange, and then they summarized a rule: as long as there is a problem in this multiverse, it must be inseparable from a certain person.
Just when OAA and Eternity were exchanging views, near the Source Wall of the DC world, Lucifer was looking around.
Just now, he suddenly felt that the feather he existed in Shiler's soul was plucked, but Shiler plucked the feather without saying what to do, making Lucifer both angry and curious.
Is this a distress signal? Or did something go wrong with Shiler's soul? Or is the universe from which the harassing phone call came suffering some disaster? Or something more mysterious?
Lucifer, who was idle, had endless time to practice his curiosity, and because he was powerful, he basically wouldn't encounter any danger.
He, who was second only to God, could leave the Source Wall. However, outside the Source Wall, it was not a peaceful place. After leaving the Source Wall, many of Lucifer's abilities would be discounted. If he crossed it with his physical body, the most important thing was that it was slow.
However, Lucifer had other ways.
The architecture of the DC universe is different from Marvel's. The DC multiverse is limited, generally speaking, there are 52.
These 52 multiverses are like the filling in a bun, wrapped in the Source Wall. Generally speaking, they have fixed positions, with darkness and light occupying half each. But besides that, there are the existence of the Hypertime multiverse and the unstable multiverse.
This was not Lucifer's first time going outside the Source Wall. After all, he was so strong and so idle that he had basically tried all extreme sports, and he had naturally done exploring unknown mysterious places long ago.
However, the world outside the Source Wall was not as wonderful as he imagined. Besides a pile of monsters sealed outside the Source Wall, it was endless silence.
Although Lucifer was always on the road to pursuing fun, he wasn't stupid. Long ago, he knew that if he left home, there might be danger. Therefore, his way of leaving home was not to put on clothes and leave, but to go to his garage and drive a car.
This car is a DC universe.
Of course, after all, it was his own property. He couldn't bear to mess with the 52 main universes, so he went to the unstable multiverse or the Hypertime multiverse to find one that was about the same and easy to drive, and then he could go outside the Source Wall to drag race.
This time to find Shiler, Lucifer still intended to do so. Since he was going to find Shiler, he would drive the universe where Shiler was located.
Lucifer integrated his will into the universe, turned the car key, found that he could start the fire, and then stepped on the gas pedal, driving the universe to the vicinity of the Source Wall.
The next step was to drive the car out of the garage, and then he could roam the world outside the Source Wall.
Just like humans can't feel the Earth's rotation, most creatures in the universe actually can't feel Lucifer driving them to drag race, and they are all living their lives steadily.
Moving the universe out of the Source Wall is a bit difficult. First of all, he must ensure that his father didn't see it. Lucifer looked around and found that God didn't mean to come out, so he stepped on the gas pedal again, and the universe rushed out of the Source Wall.
Outside the Source Wall, there were many monsters sealed in ancient times, but under the protection of Lucifer's power, this shining little car, with 0-100 acceleration of 3.6, disappeared into the boundless darkness with a "whoosh."
When Lucifer, who had enjoyed drag racing, finally chased Shiler's GPS signal and arrived near the target point, he saw that in a small cube, Shiler was hugging his arms with a face of resentment.
If Lucifer wasn't mistaken, judging from the shape of the clothes, Shiler should have just been thrown out by someone grabbing his collar.
