The Knights of the DC House

Happy New Year

In the office, Ke Wen, who had just received the information about the giant tree that suddenly grew in Antarctica from Clark, and who had just returned home, saw Brainiac as an uninvited guest. As a person who has not been affected by the restart of the old 52 universe era,

A powerful existence, Ke Wen relied on the remaining traces of the old 52 Justice League in Brainiac's spaceship to successfully defeat the opponent, and also made the opponent give up his obsession with restarting the old 52 universe era. After that, Brainiac

Just wandering in the universe.

His appearance was unexpected by Ke Wen, but looking down at the tablet in his hand, Ke Wen seemed to have guessed the reason why Brainiac came to him.

"You're not here because of this, are you?" He raised the tablet in his hand. With Brainiac's level, he had already figured out the information on the tablet.

"You're right, I need your help. Put down that tablet. I know better than all of you about the giant tree that grew in Antarctica. Your world and mine are in danger, Ke Wen."

Nodding, Brainiac did not play charades with Ke Wen in this regard, but directly explained his purpose there, about the collapse of the Wall of Origin and the giant tree that suddenly grew up in Antarctica. And in Bu

In Leniac's words, Ke Wen finally understood why the World Forger said this was a test of his own.

According to Brainiac, there are four ancient beings in the universe. They are older than civilization. Language is babies to them, and they call themselves Omega Titans. The four Omegas

Tomato Titan represents an important basic element of life in the universe.

They are entropy, knowledge, magic and mystery respectively.

These four Omega Titans all believe that they are the key attributes of intelligent life. In order to prove each other's correctness, the four Omega Titans also planted cosmic seeds on their respective planets, such as the towering giant tree in Antarctica.

It was planted by one of the Omega Titans.

"Wow, this sounds a bit exciting. Hey, why does it feel like Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is about to happen?" Listening to Brainiac's narration, Ke Wen also cooperated with him and praised him, especially when he said

When he buried the cosmic seeds here, he had no reason to think of the second-generation Star-Lord next door who was a demigod and was as good as a mortal.

"Ah, what are you talking about?"

"It's okay, you continue." Regarding Brainiac's doubts, Ke Wen also signaled him to continue to educate him.

After planting the cosmic seeds on their chosen life planets, the four Omega Titans fell into a deep sleep. They would compare who planted the cosmic seeds that grew the strongest and best, and the winner would swallow that life star.

Planets as rewards. According to Brainiac, this comparison can be said to be a period of time that cannot be measured in time. Only when the universe is on the verge of destruction will the cosmic seeds they planted grow.

But what a coincidence, in this new D universe, on the earth, major events have happened one after another in the past few years, from the initial confrontation of civilizations, to the blackest night, to later the will of the universe against the will of the universe.

The major events caused by Corwen, as well as the recent chaos between the light and dark multiverses caused by the Laughing Bat and Barbatos, once brought the multiverse to the brink of destruction.

Such chaos also gave the Titan named Entropy among the four Omega Titans enough nutrition to plant the seeds of the universe, because entropy represents chaos, and these major events are a kind of chaos.

"Then your world...oh, I understand, knowledge, right?" Ke Wen also suddenly reacted and said directly.

Brainiac nodded. As a civilization that gave birth to the only level 10 artificial intelligence like Brainiac, there is nothing more suitable to sow the seeds of the universe than the Titan of Knowledge.

The fuse that allowed the cosmic seeds planted in the Earth and Brainiac's world to grow was the collapse of the Wall of Origin.

Although it is unclear why the origin of the universe suddenly collapsed, the collapse of the origin of the universe made the four sleeping Omega Titans think that the universe was on the verge of destruction. They woke up and began to search for the world where they had buried the seeds of the universe.

, the earth is one, Brainiac’s world is one, and if Ke Wen and Brainiac don’t stop it, well, then it can be sent.

This is the reason why Brainiac came to Ke Wen. After Brainiac told the story about the collapse of the Wall of Origin, the relationship between the Omega Titan and the Cosmic Seed, Ke Wen also fell into deep thought.

Putting aside the collapse of the Wall of Origin, God knows why the Wall of Origin chose to collapse at this time. These four Omega Titans alone made Ke Wen feel a lot of pressure, because they were so powerful that even Brainia

Kedu came to him for help.

What kind of existence is Brainiac? Whether it is in the old 52 universe era or this new 52 universe, he is a ruthless character that even the Justice League dares to defeat. There are not many positive alliances in this new 52 universe era.

As I said, because of my intervention, we still have the original Big Seven plus a few later recruits, which is far inferior to the talented Justice League of the old 52.

Although I said I defeated Brainiac at the time, it would be better to say that it was because of Brainiac's own reasons, plus the time remnants of all the old 52 Justice League members and a microcosm. Combining the power of these three, I

Only then can we defeat them, not kill them. Such a being can't handle these four Omega Titans. Why does Brainiac think he can handle them? There is also the World Forger, how can he do the same?

think?

Is the All-Star Superman dial in his hand really so powerful? At this time, Ke Wen can only think about the props he obtained in this big event. The only thing that can be called a bug is the power of the 52 supermen from the multiverse of light.

The All-Star Superman dial, as well as Batman, who represents the ideal will and the power of the ideal, and Superman's double energy full bottle. But according to Brainiac's description of the four Omega Titans, Ke Wen does not think these can hit

Kill them.

Defeat is no problem, but they already believe that the universe is on the verge of destruction. Will they give up if they don't devour the world where the seeds of the universe are? Ke Wen dare not place his hopes on this level of life, which is not the same as theirs.

existence on.

"Why are you only contacting me instead of me, Clark, Batman, and the Justice League? If these four Omega Titans are really as powerful as you say, the more people the better for this kind of thing."

.”

Thinking of this, Ke Wen also raised his own doubts. As for Brainiac's first meeting with the Justice League?

If they have not experienced the memory restart of the old 52 universe, they may still have to fight, but everyone who already understands that they are in a cycle should be more happy to see an old friend when Brainiac appears.

Especially in the face of this crisis that is very likely to affect the entire universe.

"I know what you want to say. I can distinguish between the past and the present. But this time is different. They can't help me in this crisis. The only one who can help me is you, Ke Wen. In other words, fake

Face Knight Rider!"

"Go on."

"Without you, I think the way I intervened in this new universe would be the same as in the past, but because of you, everything has changed. You are the cause of the awakening of the Titan of Entropy, and this history that did not exist began because of you.

, naturally, it needs to be ended by you, which is why I came to you. Maybe you don’t even know it yourself. You can end these four Omega Titans. We don’t have time to waste time. The earth is facing the danger of being devoured at any time.

It’s dangerous, and so is my world!”

Brainiac's expression was serious, emphasizing the seriousness of the problem.

Although Ke Wen doesn't know why Brainiac is sure that he can solve these four Omega Titans, he also said when he met Clark just now that he will handle this incident by himself. Maybe somehow,

Ke Wen himself also felt that he could handle this incident and find the answer in meeting the World Forger. But before that, he still had something to do.

"I know, it's hard for you to make a trip, but you're here, why don't you accompany me to Gotham?"

"What are you doing in Gotham?"

"Get something."

Gotham City, as the center of the metal event, especially Barbatos' construction of Challenger Mountain, directly expanded Gotham City. Except for the suburbs, the city center was basically demolished in this event.

It's over. Fortunately, apart from the buildings, it didn't cause too many casualties. This can be regarded as saving Gotham's vitality and people. In addition, the Wayne Group, as the invisible owner of Gotham City, took action and activated its money capabilities.

, cooperated with the government, and also hired a group of superpowers from society.

Relying on their strength and the resources mobilized by the Wayne Group, in one month, the outline of Gotham City can be roughly restored.

At the same time, with the background of Gotham City's great destruction, under the instruction of Bruce Wayne, the spokesperson of Wayne Group, some neighborhoods were renovated to give some unemployed people in Gotham City jobs.

Let it stay in peace for a while. During this period, Gotham City was just like any other ordinary city, with only the police, citizens, and government. In such an environment, Batman and Robin, who were supposed to haunt Gotham at night, all lost their

traces.

Only the Bat-Light on the roof of the Gotham Police Station still lights up in the night sky, and people are gradually getting used to the days when there is only the Bat-Light without Batman.

In Wayne Manor, Bruce took off his battle uniform and, as the spokesman for the Wayne Group, was busy rebuilding Gotham. At this time, he was having a meeting with the directors in the study. Whether it was reconstruction or government cooperation projects, these were

This is a big job that Wayne Group has to do at the moment. He doesn't show up to talk about it, and the directors don't know what to do.

It's just that this kind of meeting that they were accustomed to seemed strange after Bruce joined them.

Because in the impression of these Wayne Group directors, although Bruce Wayne is the talker of Wayne Group, he plays the role of a playboy more often. He just has a unique vision and can always be in the spotlight.

Decisions are made at key meetings to benefit the group. Except for those necessary key meetings, the way they meet the group's speakers is usually through gossip and big covers in newspapers.

But now, the playboy has suddenly changed his gender and turned into a responsible leader. He has not missed any meetings related to rebuilding Gotham, so forget it. This guy even told a few rare jokes in the meetings.

, this is outrageous! The last time they heard Bruce Wayne tell a joke was the last time.

The feeling of dissonance that was different from their impression lasted for a month, and they still had not adapted to it. Or in this Gotham City, which is inherently abnormal, as the real controller of Gotham City, he

The sudden behavior was so normal that they couldn't adapt, and they didn't know whether it was good or bad.

But now that it's a done deal, they can't go back in time and space to repair it. Besides, they are slowly getting used to this kind of normal meeting. If there is a sudden change, they have to struggle to adapt to it, so they can just lie down like this. But with the sudden change

After being contacted by the visiting Brainiac, Ke Wen, who knew what he was going to do, set foot on Gotham City again.

Looking at this troubled city, Ke Wen can also feel the vitality and vitality of this city from the earth.

Different from the Gotham I had encountered before, even the new Gotham City after the incident of the alien knight created by Dr. Manhattan, the feeling given to Ke Wen is still that of a turbulent undercurrent under the calm lake. But the current Gotham, well, just

Just like the big city in the real world where I once lived, people were coming and going, filled with the rhythm of pursuing a better life.

In such a city, there is chaos and harmony, but this is real life. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea are the keynotes, instead of thinking about robbing banks or getting into street fights at every turn.

"Um...his, did I go to the wrong place? It's not like that. Although there is an extra windmill tower, it's the Wayne Group."

Scratching his head, Ke Wen also walked in the direction of Wayne Manor. When Ke Wen arrived at Wayne Manor, the strange sense of dissonance made him jump back and forth between comfortable and uncomfortable states.

Because the Wayne Manor in front of me always had only one light on in my eyes, and most of the work was focused underground. It was dull, depressing and stale. Now it is full of life. It is not right to say that, it is like a building with generations of people.

When you stand in front of such a mansion, the smell of human smoke that hits your face will give you the idea that life should be like this.

This is the life everyone wants, except when that life appears in Wayne Manor, the heart of Gotham City.

Ke Wen had two completely different feelings, but when he was standing at the door of Wayne Manor, hesitating whether to go in for a visit, Alfred's figure appeared at the door, looking at Ke Wen with a gentle smile.

"Master Ke Wen, you look so stupid standing at the door like this." After a moment of embarrassment, Ke Wen went to the living room of Wayne Manor. Sitting on the sofa, drinking tea made by the old butler for himself, Ke Wen

Still not quite used to the current scope of Wayne Manor, Alfred also noticed something strange about Ke Wen and explained there.

"You are not the first person to feel this way, Master Kirwan. Maybe we all used to think that wearing the mask of Bruce Wayne during the day and being Batman at night was the norm in this house, but

It seems now that it is normal now, but it is us who are abnormal."

"It's rare for you to go around the corner and scold yourself. Alfred, why are you alone at home? Where are they?" He touched his nose in embarrassment, and Ke Wen quickly changed the subject.

"Dick went to go through the handover procedures, and he will return to work at the Gotham Police Department. Jason went to Gordon's house. As for Tim, he is still in Bluhaven. Damian and Helena have a meeting today.

At the parent-teacher meeting, Mr. Wayne passed by."

After the words fell, Ke Wen felt the hot tea in his mouth was surprisingly hot. He turned his head and looked at Alfred who seemed to be talking about a trivial matter. The message in his eyes was that you are not kidding me?! For Ke Wen

When Wen showed such a performance, Alfred also showed a kind smile and said: "Isn't this what I, Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Thomas expect, and what you have been working hard to accomplish, Master Kewen, why are you looking like this?"

"Yes, this is indeed what I want to see, but how can I put it, when I think about it actually happening in front of me, I still can't believe it, at least in such a short time, he will change so much?

What on earth did he go through in the last battle against the Laughing Bat..."

Just when Ke Wen was shocked by Alfred's news, the sound of a car stalling was also heard outside the door. Hearing the sound, he got up and stood outside the window with the old butler Alfred. Ke Wen also saw such a scene

.

The car door opened, and Bruce Wayne, as his father, held Helena from the back seat. In the passenger seat, Damian, who looked unhappy, was arranging his messy hair and looking at his father in his arms.

The coquettish sister pretended to be cold and aloof the whole time.

The immediate feeling for Ke Wen was that at the parent-teacher meeting, his sister was praised and his brother was criticized. Then his father was happy that his daughter was praised, and at the same time he was pressing the head of his rebellious son and apologizing to the teacher.

Then he drove all the way back, praising his sister and hurting his brother all the way. But when such a scene appeared on the man named Bruce Wayne in front of him, it was so inconsistent, but it made people feel that this was

This is the real Bruce Wayne, the Bruce Wayne who has grown up without experiencing that bad day.

He could feel that what happened in front of him at this time was real, there was no illusion, and it was not something wrong with Bruce Wayne. Looking at the scene in front of him, Ke Wen smiled for no reason, and the man beside him

Only then did Alfred react to such a life scene, and hurriedly opened the door to pick up his family.

Ke Wen looked at Alfred, who was already outside the door chatting with Bruce who had returned from the parent-teacher meeting, as well as Damian and Helena. Then he looked at the teacup on the table behind him. He shook his head.

The cup disappeared and returned to its original place, and Ke Wen's figure also left the living room, as if he had never appeared before.

At night, Ke Wen walked on the streets of Gotham, looking at what the city looked like after night. The sense of disobedience was slowly disappearing from his heart. Yes, this is what cities should look like.

, Bruce’s life that just happened in front of him is what every ordinary person should look like. But Ke Wen couldn’t understand how Batman, who had to be brought out of the real fantasy world by himself a few months ago, could become one so quickly.

Bruce Wayne.

Is it when Batman himself chooses to die with the Laughing Bat? Or when the last clown dies in his arms? Or when he meets his parents again? Maybe both, since everything

The beginning of everything comes from the worst day, and the end of everything comes from the meeting on that worst day.

With the recognition of his parents, they know what their son is doing and what path he will choose. Parents can only sacrifice everything to protect their children so that he can escape from this identity curse.

And the last clown also used his own death to bring an end to the fate between him and Batman.

If Gotham is no longer that crazy city, there will be no need for the Joker, and similarly, there will be no need for Batman. Maybe we can only wait until the order is chaotic again, and then a new Batman and Joker will naturally be born and continue their own

The struggle. But before that, in this metal incident, after surviving the face of the Laughing Bat, the Batman who had an epiphany was now just Bruce Wayne.

A father and husband who is melancholy about his relationship and children. If this is the case, then he, a busybody, should stop disturbing other people's lives. He will not do anything immoral. He looked back with some feeling and looked at the people already in the night sky.

As a city symbol, the bat logo shines on the clouds. Under the bat logo is a windmill tower rotating in the night wind. A gust of wind blows on his face.

"Ha, it's rare to enjoy such a comfortable wind here, let's go."

With a sigh, Ke Wen, who no longer wanted to involve Bruce Wayne in his responsibilities as Batman, was about to turn around and leave. Forget what he wanted from Bruce, just leave it as a gift to them.

It was safe. But as soon as he turned around, he saw that familiar shape, with pointed ears and a black cloak, hidden in the darkness, but giving people an absolute sense of security.

"It's not your style to leave without saying goodbye."

"I didn't learn this from you. You're not the best at this outfit? But you don't need this outfit, right? You haven't put it down yet?" Ke Wen didn't expect that Bruce could accurately calculate the time when he left without saying goodbye.

Being blocked in front of him, he, who was used to complaining, did not miss this opportunity and asked Bruce to change the subject.

"I have figured out a lot, but the matter is not over yet."

"Yeah, so I'm going to get it done right now. I started it, so naturally I'll finish it, so why bother joining in the fun?"

"I can't persuade you, and I can't stop you, but since you're going to the end, it's outrageous to take everything you need to bring and leave it here with me."

With that said, two objects also flew out of the darkness and fell directly into Ke Wen's hands. One of them was taken from Ke Wen when the Laughing Bat led the Dark Fallen Knights in their first sneak attack on Apokolips.

One of the exclusive final transformation props of the Kamen Rider build that has been swallowed, a full energy bottle that extracts the elements of Superman and Batman.

The other one is the anti-life equation that was also obtained by the Laughing Bat. This artifact is engraved on the earth and has played a lot of roles in many events. At this time, it is quietly placed in a specially processed container.

, held in Ke Wen's hand. And these two were the purpose of his coming to Gotham this time to find Bruce. Unexpectedly, he left without saying goodbye. Instead, he was blocked by others and handed these two things into his own hands.

.

But when Ke Wen looked up, Batman was no longer there.

With a chuckle, Ke Wen's figure disappeared into the night.
