The Death Knell

The character Deathstroke was actually named the Terminator at the earliest. Because it was similar to those robots that traveled through time, the editors changed the name to Deathstroke in order to avoid confusing readers.

Facts have proved that this is also correct, because in his previous life, when Su Ming mentioned the Terminator to others, everyone's first reaction was the robot played by Schwarzenegger. Most people would not have thought that this was the original code name of Deathstroke. .

Leaving aside the digression for the moment, let’s talk about the outline of the Terminator’s story. It is essentially a story about a future blacksmith who wants to travel back in time and repair the broken pots in history.

But the result? Does the future really develop as humans expect?

No, terminators continue to appear from generation to generation, but instead change the original timeline to pieces. The future is still a mess, and there are always newer and bigger troubles emerging.

According to the old Chinese saying, this should be called pressing the gourd and raising the ladle, and problems will always arise.

Anyway, in "Terminator: Genisys" that Su Ming saw before traveling through time, he was stunned when he saw John Connor turned into a robot, and the future story on the timeline became a wild horse. This is all What are you doing?

Therefore, as the Supreme Mage, Su Ming rarely interferes with the historical timeline, because changing a little thing may trigger a series of butterfly effects, even the kind that is difficult to predict and predict.

I would like to ask if there is any example of successfully changing history by going back to the past?

Yes, there are actually some. For example, the X-Men's Days of Future Past was a pretty good move. Although the changes were not very thorough. By the time of "The Return of the Wolf", the X-Men were still dead, but at least there were more You've lived for decades, haven't you?

Anyway, for Su Ming, when he wants to change something, he usually prefers to choose the 'current' time point. This is like managing a river. Deciding which direction to dig a river channel is better than modifying a river that has already been filled with water. The existing river channels are easier.

Of course, Deathstroke had no evidence for what the Speed ​​Force was doing, and it was all speculation based on the existing information. But what he said seemed like he already knew all the plans, and he spoke with confidence and confidence. .

For a moment, the incarnation of the Speed ​​Force froze on the spot. She frowned and thought, maybe watching the Terminator movie.

But soon, she reacted and agreed with Deathstroke's statement:

"You're right, I seem to have ignored the issue of balance, so there is some kind of balance between the four of us, right?"

"I don't know that. Your four origin powers were born far earlier than the history of mankind. You shouldn't ask me, but ask yourself."

Su Ming on the bench opened a bottle of wine, poured some into his mouth, and yawned:

"However, everything in this universe often maintains a dynamic balance, such as darkness and light, chaos and order, which ebb and flow and promote each other. Once the balance is out of balance, a crisis will occur."

"Well, it's just like what the Laughing Bat wanted to do before."

The incarnation of the Speed ​​Force also sat down on the bench. The spherical street lamp beside her was like a small moon, emitting soft white light, which made the electric light on her body look less dazzling.

"Absolutely. The four forces between you restrain each other, which may be considered a kind of balance." Deathstroke clinked the wine bottles with her and said with a smile: "It's like fighting beasts. I'm too lazy to play this kind of game." thing."

The incarnation of the Speed ​​Force, who was thinking, took a sip of wine. She smacked her lips, as if feeling the taste, with a blank look on her face.

In this small hill park, she leaned on the back of a bench and looked at the dimly lit city below the mountain. It took her a long time to speak:

"Then what should I do in the future? If humanity perishes, the four of us will lose support, because we all exist because of humanity."
