Chapter 754 Once upon a time, there was a toy called Buzz Lightyear
Once upon a time, in a story called Toy Story.
There is a toy called Buzz Lightyear.
He was clearly a toy, yet he stubbornly believed he was a Space Ranger, a fact he was always proud of, and he never doubted that there was anything false about his identity.
Until he stumbled into a room during his adventure and saw his penis on the TV.
Buzz Lightyear toys that are mass-produced.
Bass felt a deep sense of nausea and unease. His identity as a Space Ranger, which he had once been so proud of, was also imposed on him by the outside world, a mission given to him by the designers, manufacturers, and GG.
After eliminating all of that, Buzz Lightyear realized that his existence had no purpose, just like playing a wonderful game...
But after you finish the game, suddenly, all the quests disappear. You wander aimlessly through the streets, and you're even different from the NPCs, who at least have planned routes and patterns of movement.
Rockstar even made an animation of them eating steak.
But you have nothing.
This is a freedom forcibly imposed, like a form of punishment; all your identities are false, given to you by others.
This is too cruel.
Buzz Lightyear cannot accept this.
So this toy, who once thought he was a space ranger and was proud of it, chose...
He jumped from the table out the window.
Peng!
Peng!
Chen Tao slapped himself on the head.
He pressed his temples.
"I already know who you are, but you can't be him...he..."
Chen Tao was interrupted halfway through his sentence.
"No, that's right. I am the legendary hero. You may know me too well, but I am the only Doomsday with intelligence in the entire history of the trans-timeline and even the entire multiverse. I am also the hero who took Superman's place to fight against Gog in the history of Superman being trapped."
The toy named Buzz Lightyear loudly proclaims his identity as a space ranger, a role he firmly believes in.
"Listen to me, a creature that has already disappeared into the trans-time flow has reappeared for some reason."
Chen Tao said, "For example, the timeline may be modified, but in games that transcend time, your timeline remains intact."
"A stone buried under a concrete road cannot appear on the surface without damaging the concrete road."
Chen Tao paused for a moment at this point: "Unless there is some kind of external force."
He muttered to himself:
"For example, during Infinite Crisis, Superman the Primal punched the Crystal Wall, causing a distortion of reality and resurrecting the second Robin, Jason Todd. His death history was not changed, but he simply crawled out of his grave."
For example, Reverse-Flash, after creating the Flashpoint, altered his position on the timeline, allowing him to exist in the current timeline even without a past... but these are extremely rare exceptions.
"Yes, it's because of the recent Earth 15 event, you know? That major event in trans-time history!"
When I was resurrected, countless memories flooded my mind. I saw the reason for my resurrection, just as Superman the Younger resurrected Robin II. I was also resurrected because of the mistake on Earth-15!
Oh no, this guy's logic is self-consistent.
Chen Tao's head was throbbing. He had been talking to the guy for a while, but he felt that the guy's logic was so self-consistent that it was practically flawless.
And about Earth-15, not only do I know about the Earth-15 incident, but I was the one who orchestrated it!
But now, Chen Tao couldn't help but have some thoughts and doubts.
Do you think this guy's existence might not actually be some kind of conspiracy, but just a pure coincidence, truly due to the Earth-15 incident...?
Chen Tao banished this weak thought from his mind.
Any wishful thinking or judgment influenced by emotions is unreliable. If both intuition and reason sense something is amiss, then the person on the other end must be a monster.
He was merely trying to prove this point, but he would never draw any conclusions or make any irreversible decisions before he was completely crushed.
But Chen Tao has one major piece of evidence: above the main universe, after the "Gorg War" incident, there still exists a mindless, idiotic Doomsday in the main universe.
Strictly speaking, Heroes' Day is not about "dying," but about "erasing" one's own personality.
He restarted the history of the Gogol Wars, returning the timeline to 200 years ago.
At that time, Doomsday had not gained intelligence, but Superman was not imprisoned either.
He reverted to being a complete idiot in exchange for altering history, and died a truly utter death—
The body of the Doomsday in the main universe is Hero Day, but the heroic personality that appeared by chance disappeared forever from that beast.
If the body is still there but the soul has been destroyed, can it be called death?
The Death of the Endless Family: Hello, sure, I can handle any death, even those in abstract concepts.
Therefore, strictly speaking, it is difficult to find a few characters in the entire history of time travel who died more completely than Heroes Day. Just like at the end of Flashpoint Reboot, the Flash once again traveled through time to stop himself from "trying" to create Flashpoint, thus changing history.
But was the Flash Barry Allen, who tried to create the Flashpoint, also erased by the Flash who tried to stop it after experiencing the Flashpoint?
This question suddenly became a philosophical one, but Chen Tao doesn't talk about philosophy.
We're talking about basic physics.
In the same time and space, an individual cannot be split in two.
The Flash has a famous move called "time remnant"...
Actively travel back two minutes to help yourself, and then those time-residual clones will be erased from the timeline.
Of course, this move is also known as the Time Undead Summoner because it is equivalent to creating clones by exploiting a timeline bug. If you keep doing this, the Time Undead, the guardians of the timeline, will come and kill you.
"...Okay, but whatever you say... the Doomsday in the main universe's timeline still exists, and you are that Doomsday. An individual cannot be split in two, so you cannot be..."
Chen Tao explained the logical relationship directly to Hero Ri, and he observed the other party's reaction.
This was, in his view, a flaw in Hero's Day, and he wanted to see how the other party would react after these flaws were exposed.
In Chen Tao's view, the other party was either terrified, like a puppet realizing that it was a puppet.
Or it's a cunning disguise, like a professional spy.
Alternatively, one could act like an assassin, going all out after their identity has been revealed.
Well, among the opponent's options, it would be even better if they attacked directly. Bane, who has been preparing for a long time, will make them suffer a great loss.
Yes, that's right.
"What?"
Chen Tao was taken aback by the other party's actions.
"Normally speaking, this is indeed impossible," Chen Tao heard Hero's Day say. "But I'm different. Responsibility and duty drive me, making me..."
Chen Tao was inadvertently given a huge dose of motivational rhetoric by Hero Day. He rattled off a long list of moral principles and obligations to Chen Tao, delivering a passionate speech as rousing as a little mustache.
But the core argument is only one: the reason why I am different from others on Hero Day is because it is a blessing I have received after doing good deeds. As long as you are idealistic enough, you can do whatever you want.
"You... never mind."
Chen Tao said.
Chen Tao was somewhat exhausted after meeting someone who was even more eloquent than himself for the first time.
"I'm about to make my move. You can keep his attention occupied for a little longer."
Chen Tao heard Bane's voice on the telepathic channel:
"You're doing a good job. Keep encouraging him to talk; he's very confident now..."
Bain did not receive an immediate reply from Chen Tao.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Bain's sense of smell was still very keen, and he immediately realized the hesitation in Chen Tao's heart.
"You don't think he's our enemy? Explain your reasons."
Chen Tao remained silent in the conference room formed by the consciousness of the communication channel. He thought for a while before speaking, "I think he can be used, but he's a bit too powerful."
Chen Tao temporarily changed his plan: "The situation has changed slightly. I will take the lead in the attack, and you can work from behind the scenes. We need him alive, so let's subdue him first."
The next second, Chen Tao launched an attack on Doomsday, who was still rambling on and on. He couldn't believe how talkative the other party was.
He even began to miss the old Doomsday in the main universe—a simple, simple, and idiotic fool who only knew how to yell and smash the ground.
Hero Day was still talking, seemingly unresponsive to Chen Tao's attack. However, half a second after Chen Tao's attack, Bane, who had been prepared, also struck from behind, striking Hero Day simultaneously.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, perfectly surrounded Heroes' Day.
The fifth-dimensional divine power only interfered with Heroes Day, but did not directly control him.
Chen Tao needs to live. At the same time, Hero Day has now become the dominant force in Chen Tao's corrupt and dark universe, and Chen Tao can sense this.
He worried that fifth-dimensional magic like the Fifth Dimension might provoke the other party, causing him to recklessly unleash the Black Corruption magic and create further trouble. So he also reached out and grasped Hero's Day's hands.
Everything should be perfectly in place. Chen Tao didn't have a very detailed plan for Hero's Day, but some simple...
With a snap, Chen Tao looked down and saw that Hero Ri had shed the bone spurs and skin from his palms as if shedding its skin, immediately freeing one hand, which he then grasped at the air.
The next moment, Bane seemed to have timed it perfectly, leaping out of space and precisely placing his neck in Hero Day's hands.
Immediately afterwards, Hero Ri turned sideways and exerted force, pulling Chen Tao sharply and causing him to lean forward.
The two of them spun around and switched positions, as if they were dancing and circling around the fire pit.
With one hand gripping his neck and the other grabbing Chen Tao's arm, Hero Ri spun Batman 180 degrees in the air before slamming him heavily to the ground.
However, no further severe measures were taken on Hero Day.
He seemed to realize what Chen Tao was thinking, and he simply said calmly:
"Could you stop testing me, detective?"
"I am the doomsday in the timeline that you want."
He pulled Chen Tao up from the ground, and then threw Bain, who was clutching his neck, to the ground.
"Genuine or genuine."
Buzz Lightyear said so.
(I'm really sorry there are only 3000 words. I rode more than 20 kilometers to work today.)
