The Death Knell

"It's a long story, but do you know Krona?"

Su Ming decided to use the simplest words to explain where everyone was going next, but there were risks in entering an unfamiliar area rashly. He needed to use the information from his previous life to describe the current situation as much as possible.

It might be useful if the battlefield doesn't change much.

"This name is a bit familiar, let me think about it." The cat closed its eyes, and its breathing gradually slowed down, as if it was asleep. However, this only lasted for a few seconds, and then it opened its eyes again: "Are you talking about the former guardian, Crona, known as 'Crazy Blue Man'?"

"Yes, that's it, a large blue-skinned Maltus. His compatriots later became the little blue men who led the Lantern Corps. Our friend Gunther is also a Maltus."

For a cat, it is not surprising that it can think of this person, because there is a saying in the DC comics world called the history of the multiverse, which is actually the story of Crona.

Maybe this person's name sounds a bit strange, but this guy is the first person to truly transcend the super-time stream and go to the outside.

But that's not a good thing.

Crona is a mad scientist, crazier than anyone in human cognition, and he is willing to sacrifice everything to achieve his goals, and he does.

His first experiment created a negative universe. The number of planets consumed as energy alone reached hundreds of billions, and countless creatures died, not to mention the monsters born from the negative space. Main Dimension, causing massive destruction afterwards.

That was a long time ago, when the Martus people were still living on their home planet.

This failed experiment led to the basic extinction of their own race. Different Blue Man survivors developed different beliefs and thus created different lamp groups, harnessing the power of the emotional spectrum.

However, the emotional spectrum is also one of Crona's discoveries. According to the information from Su Ming's previous life, Crona discovered something called the 'Cosmic Soul', which seems to be the soul of a single universe, which is relatively abstract. the concept of.

It is suspected that he extracted the souls of these universes and made them into lantern beasts. There is a high probability that he made the ion sharks of the Green Lantern Corps and the inspection monsters of the Yellow Lantern Corps.

After all, there are so many emotions in the world, why do only a few of them form conceptual entities? This must not be natural.

But at this time, Crona's experiments were still continuing. He was frantically pursuing the 'origin', and after realizing that 'there is a sky beyond the sky', he began to want to transcend the flow of time and reach the sky beyond the sky in his imagination.

The second experiment failed as always, but the big explosion in his laboratory triggered a series of chain reactions, cutting the timeline, leading to the birth of a large number of disordered multiverses.

This is also the first time that a creature has bypassed the Hand of Creation and used the power of technology to create a multiverse in a single universe.

It sounds unreasonable, but Crona did it.

But this failure led to an imbalance in the universe. The first generation of Lanterns was born. The crazy man of seven lanterns, Kron, killed everyone. Soon, a series of chain reactions led to the major events of "Zero Hour".

The experiment was unsuccessful, but he was not discouraged, so he started a new round of experiments again, looking for the origin from the path of the hand of creation. This path didn't work, so he changed his path and focused on After Perpetua was imprisoned, the three brothers who stayed behind were the watchers.

At that time, the Forger of the Universe didn't care about anything and lived in seclusion. Crona continued to provoke between the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor, triggering a war between the two sides until "Crisis on Infinite Earths" was triggered and the multiverse was restarted.

After the universe was restarted, Crona, who was in the single universe Earth 1, was also restarted, but his madness went a step further. He even realized how the so-called 'restart' worked on himself, and through science The method used to retrieve his memory before restarting.

In the new main world of Earth 0, his experiments began again.

Major events such as the Blackest Night, Time Window, Lost Green Light, and the Third Law were all due to his repeated experimental failures, until the N52 also fell apart under the influence of the melee from all parties and the growing power of the crisis, and was restarted again.

There were so many things he did behind the scenes that Su Ming couldn't guarantee that he knew them all. He only knew a part of them, and that was enough.

Although Crona's experiments have always failed, and he seemed to have been killed during the N52 period, the experimental products he tossed around in the past still exist to this day.

"Okay, you reminded me of that madman again." The cat stuck out its pink tongue and stretched out: "But he probably hasn't been resurrected, so this time, what is the third channel you mentioned? Which of his experiments was dug out of the trash?"

"It's 'Underworld'. Is this name familiar?" Su Ming didn't give in and gave the answer directly.

"Ah poof." The cat made a blowing motion with its mouth, and its cheeks puffed up: "This is the creation of the Anti-Monitor. Is there Crona's shadow behind this?"

"Yes, the essence of the underworld is a ladder. It is something that Crona borrowed the power of the Anti-Monitor to lay eggs."

Deathstroke was walking along the street, patted the cat's head, and told it and his cousin the story. In fact, there was nothing much to say.

What Crona pursues is the origin at first, but later it becomes ‘transcendence’. This underworld is the ladder leading outside the wall.

Unfortunately, at that time, he was completely blind to the situation outside, so he could only lie on the wall, holding a ladder to the outside as if he was blind, trying to see if he could hit something in the darkness, so as to climb over the wall. Effect.

At that time, he didn't know whether to say he was lucky or unlucky. The Hades universe stretched out from DC Diversity 1 like a tentacle, and it was the Marvel Universe 616 Earth that caught it.

A major event was triggered at that time, which almost caused Earth 1 and Earth 616 to collide and be annihilated. Then Crona was repaired by Eternity. It was also a mixed doubles team from the United Life Tribunal. His people were thrown back, the ladder was broken, and his head The hood was pulled off.

That happened at the end of the P52 era. Many people don't remember it, but there is no doubt that he was the first person to successfully circumvent the firewall, and he did so by relying on pure technology without any mysterious elements.

To put it simply, as long as you obtain this set of technology, you can create new underworlds for sale and get over the wall, which is something that everyone can do.

Compared to Marvel's Reed, Crona was more destructive, but maybe he was always causing chaos, which made some great gods unable to stand it. In the end, he was counted dead and died in the Red Lantern Corps. The hand of Atrocitus.

The way of death was also very funny. He was punched in the chest and penetrated the body, and his heart burst and died.

After all, he is just a scientist. The level he can reach is very high, but his combat effectiveness cannot keep up.

But now, his broken ladder was dug out from the trash heap of history by someone. It was brought directly from the P52 era to this point in time, and it seems that it has actually been used.
