"You're not familiar with my situation, and you don't know that I have a rival in another multiverse."
Deathstroke squinted his eyes with a cigarette in his mouth, as if he was reminiscing about the events of the past."
Rivals?
I thought you'd kill all the enemies. ”Lori tugged at the hem of her robe and braided the tassels into a knot: "At least according to the mercenary's style, it should be to avoid trouble in the future, right?"
”"Well, you know a lot, but only if you can actually kill him."
Yes, Su Ming is talking about Kang the Conqueror, that thing is just like a toad lying on the surface of his feet, although it can't hurt anyone, but it's disgusting.After killing two Kang's timelines in a row, later on the 40k timeline, he fought with Kama Taj many times, and he really looked for something every once in a while.However, Su Ming participated in the first two battles, and the latter were all handed over to Mo Du and his subordinates to deal with, and the specific experience was not known, but the results were not bad."
Is this the same situation?"
The girl let go of her hand and put aside the finished soda bottle: "As you said before, Mo Cun and the Emperor will exist in different timelines, and even if we kill one of them, the others will come back sooner or later, endlessly. ”"Alas, I thought that when I became a Supreme Mage, my rival would be a mysterious side existence such as Dormammu or the Eye Demon, but I didn't expect to be a scientist."
Deathstroke handed her a snack and continued to look at the computer and the movement on another timeline: "Anyway, it's pretty much the same, Kang's situation is very similar to them, when I kill a Kang, there will be another Kang substitute, and if I want to go back to the past to erase Kang's origin, then Kang will go back to the previous time and recreate an origin, which will become an infinite nesting doll." ”"What does that have to do with the pi that was sent to us?"
Luo Rui tore open the packaging bag of the spicy strips as if she didn't understand, lowered her head and smelled the smell, her eyes lit up."
Didn't you notice the time on the display just now?"
Deathbell pointed to the lower right corner of the screen again: "Notice that we are now at the point in time, which is the day of the darkest night, nineteen days earlier than the time they are in. ”Lori, who was still holding the spicy strip in her mouth, was stunned for a moment, and she made a confused nasal voice: "Huh?
”If the current point in time is earlier than that, how could something that Barry write down be in this computer?
As if understanding her question, Su Ming calmly continued to look at the news on the Internet, but fortunately, even the boot password of the brother's eye was Martha, otherwise it would not be easy to do.He nodded, swiping his finger on the touchpad as he replied, "This is the ring theory I'm talking about, most of the time, time will be like a river or a big tree, but if someone wants to intercept a period of time and use it as their own collection, then this flow of time, which has no past and no future, will become like an Ouroboros or insects spontaneously connecting end to end, forming a closed loop." ”This is the role of story logic for the timeline, any independent timeline will form an independent story that can be watched repeatedly, and loop again and again in front of different audiences.And that's the basis of the concept of hyper-temporal streams, and when all the different individual stories and concepts come together, it forms a concept similar to that of Marvel's omnipotent universe.Although Lori doesn't understand Kang the Conqueror's gameplay, when it comes to Ouroboros, she should be able to understand it.The Ouroboros symbol represents balance and circulation, and it is also a representation of material exchange in Western alchemy, and can even be used as a spell to summon certain demons.It's one of the most intuitive connections between magic and technology."
In other words, we are now in a closed system of time?"
Lori seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand: "It's like after we entered this timeline, the enemy intercepted this time, let it keep looping on its own, and we were locked up?"
”"Not exactly, our rescue of Gotham would have changed the original flow of time, let's call it Timeline 1, so that the story would have gone in a different direction."
Su Ming couldn't understand when he saw it, so he simply used the lamp ring to project a three-dimensional projection map, showing a large clump of tree branches, and took out a glowing short stick from it: "But there is a little clever ghost in order not to let his plan be destroyed, so he intercepted the future after our change from timeline 1 from timeline 1, and formed a timeline 2 that is based on timeline 1 but keeps circling from end to end as a prison, but this is how to send future information to the present." ”As he spoke, he manipulated the short stick to change, turning it into a Y-shape.One of them is that the death knell has no possibility of saving Gotham; The other is the story of Deathknell saving Gotham.He split the Y in half, and saw that the half that was still attached to the glowing tree was still glowing, though it was faint and dim.The half-stick that was cut off gradually shrank into a ring as if it was dehydrated."
See, the beginning of this story is the night of solstice, and the end is the moment we return to the little bat cave, during which the story of our rescue of Gotham is removed from the main branch, and when the process is over, we will start again from the beginning."
After reading the diagram, it is easy to understand, Lori feels that Knell is indeed a very good teacher, and even a poor student like herself can understand the concept of super-time flow.Probably thanks to the fact that I often raise flowers in the small yard at home, I am very experienced when it comes to pruning branches.In fact, where is this, Su Ming just talked about the setting of time, and the super-temporal role of space and story and origin is not at all something that can be explained in a short time.When viewed from a distance, the circle becomes a dot, and when connected by a series of dots, it becomes a new timeline, resulting in a story and even a parallel world.It's a complicated phenomenon, but in the current situation, Lori knows so much."
That's right, so when he found out that Gotham of Time Flow 1 was not rescued, and thought that I would never fail in a mission, combined with the super time flow setting I once told him, he would know what kind of gameplay it was, and then we would remind each other that they were in the ring, and then verify each other.""
How do you verify it?"
Lori blinked."
It's this new file, you see I'll right-click on it and delete it," Su Ming said while operating, but the file on the desktop was like a computer virus and couldn't be modified: "See, if one side can't do something that affects the other parallel time, then it means that the weaker side is the curly cycle, this is the continuity of the story or the inertia of history, just like when you want to peel off the bark of a tree, you will always tear off an extra paragraph in the direction of force." ”
