Chapter 737 35. Like to roll dice is a disease!
"It's going to explode here! Look at these lights extending from the ground, we are like standing on a sun, maybe we will be melted in the next second."
Halley complained fiercely, while pressing the detonator and blasting open the closed door in front of him.
With a loud bang, Cutie rushed in carrying the X-Metal Warhammer, followed by Rorschach and several other Masons.
They were fully armed and ready to deal with any enemy, but they rushed in aggressively but found no danger, only Mason was waiting for them in the corridor ahead.
The captain was smoking a cigarette in a rather melancholy manner. While the smoke rings were flying, he looked at his companions and found that there were few people missing, so he asked:
"What about the others? Have the other Masons finally made up their minds to abandon me and run away alone?"
"Hey, you think you have a sense of humor, but this joke isn't funny! Masons are always loyal!"
Engineer Mason scolded and said:
"They took antimatter bombs that can blow up the star structure to various places on this star, and it will be installed in a few minutes. When you give an order, we can blow up this ghost place.
Although I don’t know what happened here, I can probably guess from the ever-increasing energy level and chaotic fluctuations at the time level that this star of the end is about to enter a damned activation process. "
"Yes, it has entered the 'Start Sail' procedure."
Mason flicked the cigarette **** in his hand, clapped his hands, and said to the others:
"When the resonance between this place and the sacred timeline is completed, the first cycle of the entire universe will begin. We on this planet will be sent to a moment when everything has not yet happened, and experience the beginning of the end of the era from scratch.
If I'm lucky enough, I might even be able to see myself being put into the biological cultivation chamber of Project Weapon X. "
"What are you waiting for?"
Harry widened her eyes and said:
"Then hurry up, we are going to stop this from happening. I don't want to wait for my little sweetheart to grow up slowly. I will be in my forties when you turn eighteen."
"You hesitated!"
Rorschach next to him understood Mason's hesitation at this time.
An angry expression gathered on the dark fluid mask on his face, he stepped forward and grabbed Mason's collar with both hands, and said in a hoarse voice:
"You think the beginning of this cycle is a good thing? Do you think you can repeat what you did in the outside world when it hasn't happened yet, so as to get a 'happy ending'?
They think so, and you too? "
Rorschach's actions triggered reactions from other people. Seeing that he was going to hurt Mason, Harry and Quinn immediately swung their weapons, but the captain stopped him with his hand.
Mason stared at the shaking dark mask in front of him, and said:
"I don't deny it, I do have this idea.
I came too late.
When I opened my eyes in this era, what I saw was a broken star sea. Many tragedies and disasters had happened before I intervened in this situation.
If we could do it all over again, maybe we could save more people.
It may be a better way to end the crisis to extinguish the fire of the crisis before everything happens. "
"madness!"
Rorschach scolded fiercely:
"That's what they think! They also want to go back in time and fix all the problems and make up for all the regrets before it happens, which is why they created this cycle system, but you have seen the end of them.
The idea of going back to the past is itself a kind of escape, and trying again and again will only make things slide into the abyss of worse.
Neither the past nor the future can be controlled by us!
Only now!
I worked so hard to come here not to change the past, Mason, I never had that kind of arrogant idea, what I want is simple, I just want this **** conspiracy to end before my eyes.
I heard from Harley about what you guys were doing out there.
That is correct, facing the reality and not choosing to escape, and reshaping the future in the bleakness is what we should do.
Those who say they want a happy ending for all took shortcuts, but it has been proven that there are no shortcuts, I tried to stop this and I failed, you must not repeat the same mistakes.
Immersed in the past cannot create the future! Don't make things worse. "
"There is no true 'perfection,' Mason."
The engineer also persuaded:
"If you let the cycle happen, you're putting your fate in someone else's hands, and what we've seen along the way is enough to teach us that.
Relying on the favor of others will never have any good results, and fate must be held in one's own hands.
They've tried thirteen simulations, and I don't think the guy behind the scenes who ran it could really have learned anything from those failures, or the council wouldn't be where it is now. "
"I'm not naive enough to beg him for mercy."
Mason whispered:
"We'll get rid of him and make Dr. Bluebird pay for what he's done, but maybe we can run the cycle this time"
"You mean that you will replace Dr. Blue Bird as the invisible person in the council? You will lead all of this and let the council be born, and the stars will appear?
Are you serious? sweetheart? "
Quinn stepped forward and stared into Mason's eyes, she asked:
"Are you going to make yourself the one behind the guy you've been fighting? You're denying your existence and all your past efforts. Listen to me, honey."
She took Mason's hand and whispered:
"I know that you have always had a lot of regrets. Although you have given everything along the way, you still feel that these are not enough. You want those lives who died in disasters to have a happy ending. Those who you have seen Such tragedies will never happen again.
But right now it's the best we can get, and Doom says he wants to create a future but doesn't want to make the present better.
Do you remember how you refuted old A? Those who always walk with their heads up will stumble, and they are not qualified to talk about the future if they don't care about the present.
Don't let their lofty ideas pollute your mind. "
"Mason, listen to your wife!"
The hat on the chief's forehead protruded a blurred face, and the old hat said:
"Halley is right, you should go to the end of this road instead of changing to a better-looking track, that will not make things better."
"But Hogwarts"
Mason said softly:
"Don't you want to see your world get rid of bad luck? Don't you want to see you who have never been disturbed or affected, the little wizards and their families in that world don't need to experience an unforgettable destruction?
There is also Osborne Tower, the world of Jack and Elizabeth, the world of the old man and Martha, Utopia and my hometown. Old Peter no longer needs to experience life and death, Barbossa can enjoy family happiness with his daughter, and little flash You need to carry the whole world and run until you are exhausted, and mutants don't have to go through more than ten years of hostile killings with clones.
Those losses will be made up, and those regrets will be filled.
We have this opportunity, and it's right in front of us. "
"But that also means we won't meet you again"
The old hat completed the lore with a fluffy sentence.
it says:
"If it never happened, then all your stories and our stories would be gone, and I know that would be great for a lot of people, but it would mean sacrificing everything you have and what we have learned from you. Get it all here.
Mason, no one wants to forget you, don't underestimate your own status in others' hearts.
Listen to your wife, let's defeat Dr. Bluebird, end this cycle once and for all, and let everything we have now be a ladder to the future.
We waited for you for seventeen years in the last days, don’t you understand?
This circulation system is not the key at all.
You are the key.
Whoever punches him, this guy's thinking must be disturbed! The Masons I know don't have the kind of words to give up. "
"Harry, where are you going?"
Quinn turned around and called out, but the furious Halle ignored her at all. He just led his dog, grabbed a baseball bat, and strapped explosives on himself, striding towards the end of the aisle.
She walked, screaming:
"I'm going to kill that bastard! He bewitched my little sweetheart, wanting her to give up his relationship with us and all experiences, just to let those guys we don't know at all get the so-called happy and perfect ending.
I will not give up my own happiness, I will beat anyone who dares to stop me. "
Everyone's eyes were on Mason, the captain curled his lips, reached out and pushed Rorschach's hand away from his collar, and appeared next to Harley in the water reconstruction, and grabbed her wrist.
Little cutie raised her head, stared at him with bright red eyes, and said fiercely:
"What? Are you blocking my happiness too? You **** who wants to leave us! Mason Cooper! You're a big bastard! Don't touch me! I'm pissed."
"I have no intention of abandoning you."
Mason took her into his arms as Harry struggled and screamed.
He comforted the irritable little cutie, kissed her hair, and said:
"Well, I'm just being silly, maybe it's the expectation of perfection that never existed that makes me ignore what I have now."
"You also said you would never abandon us, and it turns out that you are a liar."
Halley hid in Mason's arms and wiped her little tears, coquettishly and complaining:
"You must hate me and Quinn. You want to take this opportunity to get rid of us. I won't trust you in the future. You are not allowed to touch those **** things in a while. I will smash them completely with my own hands."
At this moment, Harley and Quinn took the opportunity to hit Mason's head from behind and from the front at the same time, causing the captain to shake him a few times and then shook his head vigorously.
He wasn't sure if he was really bewitched, but this blow did wake him up a lot.
"Thank you, cuties, I will follow your orders from now on."
Mason rubbed his head, then looked at the engineer, who patted his luggage and gestured an OK gesture, indicating that everything was ready.
"Let's go, everyone."
The captain let go of his fiancée in his arms, and he reached out to hold the pistol at his waist.
The cold handle of this thing made the captain sigh in his heart. Fate should be in his own hands, but he almost gave up the initiative just now.
There is of course Mason's own persistent pursuit of certain things, but it may be certain that this change of thinking should indeed be affected by external factors.
After all, for an omnipotent being, the matter of plucking the strings of the soul is just a casual thing, which undoubtedly made him angry.
Mason looked back at the crowd behind him, he took a deep breath and said:
"Let's end this."
Everyone agreed in unison, and everyone walked to the end of this long corridor.
There is a light blue light shining there, which should be the cyclic core mentioned by No. 0 Tony, the flickering of the energy light of the blue bird doctor that can only be seen after the cyclic process is started.
"Ah! Why doesn't this guy wear pants!"
At the moment of rushing into the core of the circulation, Harry covered his eyes and yelled, which instantly made the aura of common hatred become awkward.
But Halle was right.
The guy who appeared in front of everyone was indeed not wearing pants, not just pants, his whole body was naked, showing his perfect body line in front of everyone, the golden section muscles formed a complete human body in the blue light weaving, full of Suspended in mid-air in the embellishment of energy.
In front of his eyes is an energy model of the end star, and that model is at the center of a more complex energy system.
He should be monitoring the process.
But it is definitely not the first time he has done this kind of thing with his familiarity.
And this cycle core itself is a special device embedded in the star of the end. Countless complex parts and modules are constantly changing and combining in this spherical space like building blocks, like a super-large instrument Attitude when working at full speed.
According to Tony Zero, this is the "energy amplifier" they made for Dr. Bluebird, which strengthens his already exaggerated god-like abilities to the extent that they can directly affect the origin of the universe. The level of the divine timeline completes the fine-tuning of the entire universe.
"Please wait."
A calm and sensible voice resounded in the spherical space, but it was not issued by Dr. Manhattan with the vibration of the vocal cords. Perhaps it was because he no longer needed that backward and extremely inefficient communication method.
He said in that straight-to-heart voice:
"I still need a little adjustment to allow your influence on the entire system to be returned to the original state. Only in this way can we ensure that the first cycle of reality unfolds perfectly.
I have to say, Mason Cooper, you, a foreign individual, have a very deep and rapid influence on the entire system, which makes me have to spend more energy to complete this should be very simple thing.
But thanks to you, I finally made up my mind. "
"Are you rolling the dice?"
Mason looked at the actions of Dr. Manhattan in front of him, and said:
"Rolling the same dice over and over again, hoping to get different results, you know, this kind of behavior is really pathological?"
"Dice? Well, it's a good statement. It not only explains how evil I am in your eyes, but also uses the metaphor of God to complete a ridicule. I appreciate this statement."
Dr. Bluebird turned around.
His white eyes stared at Mason and the people around him, paused on Rorschach for a while, and then turned his attention to the captain's eyes.
This guy has an atomic mark on his forehead, which is about the only embellishment he makes to his existence.
And his undressed posture is really indecent, especially the low-hanging work exuding blue fluorescent light, which is enough to make this scene into a restricted scene.
"I see disgust in your eyes, but I am not evil. Evil cannot be used to summarize my thoughts and actions. I just try to change the past and challenge the future at their invitation."
Dr. Manhattan explained very seriously:
“This is the job the council has given me, I can do it and I’ve done it well.”
"The council didn't ask you to erase their memories after every loop simulation!"
The engineer immediately retorted:
"Their plan is to learn from each failure to bring the next attempt closer to the perfect ending they want to see, but you played a trick.
The experience after each failure will not be accumulated, which causes them to repeat the same mistakes again and again, and you just treat them as your guinea pigs.
Trying different schemes under your control and only getting bad results
In your words, change the past and challenge the future. "
"No, you are using your own thoughts to generalize my behavior, which of course will cause a terrible bias at the cognitive level."
Dr. Bluebird patiently corrected the mistakes in the engineer's words. He raised his hand and projected thirteen flashing pictures in the air. He said:
"I deleted their memories from the eighth cycle. Tony Zero didn't tell you everything. Before the seventh cycle started, he asked me to return all the memories to them.
I did.
That's an observation too, but do you know what's going on in that simulation loop?
The members of the council, having acquired all the circular memories, were not able to learn any lessons from them, instead, their fragile and short-lived union fell apart within a few years.
They did not use the lessons from the first six cycles to better advance their self-rescue plan, but instead used those technological reserves to complete the force upgrade and start the ‘big conquest’ within the universe.
Their footsteps have crossed the Milky Way, and even approached the origin of the universe.
They want to control the power of disaster, but the result is that in the star sea of the origin of the universe, the aftermath of the fleets of various forces attacking each other impacts the already fragile origin of the universe, and the energy that triggers the third impact in advance destroys everything.
I have tried to fulfill the agreement with them.
But the result was more tragic than any cycle, so I made a judgment and hoped that the council could not change this era.
They are not saviors.
Their plan was perfect, but they ignored the chain reaction caused by the superposition of humanity and power. In that cycle simulation, the doomsday of destruction did not come from the will of the universe.
But themselves. "
Dr. Blue Bird paused, he shook his head and said:
"This is the essence of the simulation cycle, because I can see the ending of the universe, and I can simultaneously observe all time branches and all things in parallel planes, their struggle and resistance.
We should all be thankful that the first thirteen cycles were just a simulation and not the real world, and I've seen the results, but nothing but destruction.
This universe was doomed to this result when it was born.
No matter how brilliant the process is, the final outcome cannot be changed. Rather than despair, they may want to enter the final bloom in hopeful cycles.
I repeat this process over and over again not to hurt anyone.
I don't roll the dice either, Mason.
But now, the situation has changed, because your appearance has created new possibilities for the future, so I made up my mind, because someone has already held the key to the future! "
Dr. Manhattan tilted his head and looked at Mason.
He stretched out his hand to the captain and said:
"I decided to help them and give everything I have in exchange for a perfect ending. I invite you to join me, come on, Mason, the savior, let us solve this doomsday from the source."
