Lord God Investigator

"Who can tell the difference between reality and fiction?"

Damian suddenly appeared behind Bat Girl with a flash of golden light, and took over what she subconsciously said when she was unconscious: "Even in the real world, there are ancient philosophers who can't tell whether they are butterflies or the butterflies are themselves. Reality Scientists on the other side have also put forward a hypothesis, that is, the universe is actually a holographic projection of a two-dimensional surface."

"Why did you come here?" Bat Girl said nervously: "I understand, this is your clone, your body is still fighting Barbatos, right?"

"This is my true body." Damian shook his head and said, "I am no longer needed on the front line. The space-time gate has been stabilized. The human reinforcements that are constantly arriving will do everything they should do."

Bat Girl opened her mouth, as if she was accusing Damian of being irresponsible for entrusting such an important matter as defeating Barbatos to a mortal, but she suppressed her words again.

She said thoughtfully: "You have mentioned the 'Fourth Wall' to me before. Is it true that our universe is an illusory world, and you are a person from the real world beyond the 'Fourth Wall'?"

Damian nodded, shook his head, and said slowly: "Actually, I am also sure that the world outside the 'fourth wall' is the real world. Reality and illusion are also relative. The world outside the wall is at least better than yours." This universe is more real, and I only used some of the more real world laws in the world outside the wall to transform your illusory world."

"Is our world really a fantasy?" Bat Girl spread her hands and looked at herself in disbelief, then pinched her cheeks: "But everything I perceive is very real. If this is a dream, I can definitely tell the difference between fantasy and dreams.”

"Hahaha..." Damian laughed and shook his head: "The way to tell whether a dream is reality is not to pinch yourself. In a world where you can travel through dreams, the way to tell is to see if the top will keep spinning. You have to observe the loopholes in the rules of the world to make comparisons in order to truly discover the differences. Just like a top in a dream won't stop, doesn't it violate the laws of physics in reality?"

Bat Girl was smart enough to understand Damian's words and asked, "Is there such a loophole in our world?"

"Yes, the most obvious loophole is that the history of your world was created by superheroes, and major historical events in the multiverse are named after the heroic deeds of superheroes."

Damian said frankly: "In the real world, the people, and only the people, are the creators of history. If you violate this basic law, your world will often not be able to continue, and 'restarts' that overturn the entire timeline will often occur. .The history created by heroes is false history. It is impossible to build high-rise buildings on false bases. The timeline cannot be sustained and continues, so we can only tear it down and start over again. Restarting the world has become the norm. This Isn’t it a very obvious loophole and paradox in the world’s rules?”

After a pause, he continued: "Using whether the top spins without stopping to distinguish between dreams and reality is to use the loopholes in the physical laws of dreams to distinguish. To distinguish whether your universe is an illusion or reality, you must look at the perspective of historical continuity. Distinguish it from the loopholes that appear in the law of time. If you distinguish it like this, do you still think the world you live in is real? A world that is so real that it is difficult to develop a future, and will be completely reset at a certain critical point? "

The bat girl felt as if she had been struck by thunder, her body shook a bit, and her spirit was hit hard. She followed Damian's prompts to think, and she realized that there was a problem, and she suddenly felt that everything around her and herself became different. Yes, it was not as real as she had perceived before.

Looking at the world from another angle, the beautiful girl Bruce woke up from a dream and recalled all the "heroic deeds" she had done. She was no longer proud of them. Instead, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was all black history and just a conspiracy. A chapter of lies woven from a heroic dream.

"I put on this armor made of world metal and gained the power to reset the world. I can repair everything with a snap of my fingers and change it back to the way it was before Barbatos invaded. But I don't intend to do this. Something is wrong with the world. As far as restarting is concerned, for the world manager, the method is as clumsy as a computer novice repairing a faulty computer."

Damian said: "Restarting may eliminate the problem, but it makes the world's timeline unable to operate normally and always spinning in a time ring. The creatures in the universe seem to be free, but in fact they are prisoners in the time ring cage. This Even the Demon King gave in to the mage who trapped him in a time loop."

In the original plot, the superheroes wearing platinum armor joined hands and used the power of metal to restart the world after killing Barbatos. Damian, who also obtained the metal armor, of course also has this ability and can restart the DC universe. .

However, the magical power that metal gives him is only limited to the DC universe. He cannot use it outside this universe.

Raising his arm, Damian reluctantly snapped his fingers, and a white mist rose around the beautiful girl Bruce. After the white mist dissipated, he transformed back into a male form.

"I borrowed your identity to do some things before. Now I will return my identity to you. As the interest for borrowing my identity, I will give you the achievements and status I achieved while pretending to be 'Bruce Wayne'."

Damian said: "Chief of Staff Wayne of the Earth Defense Force commanded mankind to defeat Barbatos. His prestige in the human army is unparalleled. It will not be a problem to be re-elected as the next Secretary-General of the United Earth Government. I hope you can After realizing that we live in an illusory universe, we can lead mankind to create a new history, make mankind live more realistically, and prevent parallel universes from repeating the mistakes of infinite restarts and never being able to progress."

"Are you leaving?" Bruce asked, "Why don't you stay and complete everything you said in person?"

"To be precise, I'm running away."

Damian looked back and looked around in a guilty manner, like a criminal preparing to run away: "The duty of the gods in this universe is to maintain the old order. I have broken the basic rules of the world's restart. Sooner or later, they will join forces to find trouble for me. . I’m not afraid of them. The key is that a war between gods can last forever. It’s too time-consuming and I don’t have time to accompany them.”

"Besides, this is your world, not mine. Although you didn't perform your duties well before, you still have a chance to make amends."

Damian patted Bruce on the shoulder and encouraged: "And I'm just a passerby, just helping you with a small favor. If you rely on me, wouldn't you go back to your old ways? As for whether you will lead mankind in the future? It has nothing to do with me whether to open up a new future or succumb to the existence of higher dimensions and restart and return to that time ring to continue having false dreams."
