Chapter 258: Chapter 258: H'el, The Hope
He is also one of the avatars, and the one before him is an avatar.
H'el looked at the Highfather, and the Highfather overlapped with the Hughfather among the shadows, indistinguishable.
"Yes, my true self is also the Highfather of New Genesis in the Sphere of the Gods." The Highfather lowered his eyelids and continued, "The war between me and Darkseid has never ceased since New Genesis existed in the world."
"You must help me, Kryptonian, if you don't want this universe to be destroyed by Darkseid."
The Highfather's gaze was resolute as he looked at H'el, and his tone was irrefutable.
"Is that so," H'el said lightly. "In my eyes, both you and those shadows, who view the universe as a battleground and a resource ground, are no different."
"At least, I have compassion for all beings in the universe and am willing to save you," the Highfather said.
"Isn't it because you fear being surpassed by Darkseid, afraid that Darkseid will become more powerful and thus destroy you and New Genesis?" H'el cut to the chase.
The Highfather fell silent for a moment and replied, "Indeed, my true self does have such concerns, but that's all the more reason to stop Darkseid. You don't understand what Darkseid is capable of until the end."
H'el nodded and said, "Go on, I want to know more."
The Highfather glanced at him and continued as H'el wished, "There are nearly infinite parallel universes, and the beginning of the multiverse consists of 52 original universes."
The New 52.
H'el lowered his eyelids, quietly sipping his wine, letting the fragrant liquid smoothly flow down his throat, listening to the words.
"52 original universes gave birth to countless multiverses, parallel universes. The 52 original universes are hidden within countless multiverses, parallel universes, and no god can find out which one is the original universe." The Highfather's voice became much heavier.
"But Darkseid found a way. He, using a method unknown to my true self, became the representative of power and darkness in every universe and parallel universe, becoming a part of the universe and starting to destroy it from within.
Every Darkseid is a part of the universe, recognized by the universe as darkness and power. He will find the center of the universe, destroy its structure, and reach the other side of the universe—the antimatter universe.
His ultimate goal is to, in countless universes, reach the antimatter universe, find the Anti-Life Equation, collapse countless parallel universes with the chain reaction of the Anti-Life Equation, and find the original universe to control it."
"What benefit does it bring him to control the original universe?" H'el asked.
Darkseid has put so much effort into finding the original universe, so there must be something he must obtain. These things, H'el can only speculate, are some kind of immense power that Darkseid cannot do without.
"I don't know," the Highfather replied, shaking his head. "The knowledge bestowed upon me by my true self does not record the reasons."
H'el found it strange, glanced suspiciously at the Highfather, and continued to ask, "Aren't you connected to your true self?"
The Highfather looked at H'el, knowing what he was thinking, but he didn't feel there was anything secretive about it. Even the true self had no restrictions. As a avatar, he didn't mind saying, "No, I can feel the true self, but the true self cannot manipulate me beyond the various protections of the multiverse. Since my true self separated me, I have been an independent entity."
"I have independent consciousness and rationality, a personal will. I just inherit the mission bestowed upon me by the true self." H'el nodded, already understanding the situation of the Highfather in front of him.
In simple terms, the Hughfather in front of him is similar to the avatar he placed in the Flash's universe, but it is obvious that their avatar technology is much more sophisticated than his.
The avatar H'el placed in the Flash's universe can be considered as an artificial intelligence avatar, facing various information and combining his own actions to come up with the most suitable course of action. In short, it's not an independent soul but a large-scale data evolution of psychic power.
And these avatars created by the gods have real souls, consciousness, thoughts, independent wills, and even strong desires and wills to survive.
"So you're actually afraid of death, whether it's the mission of your true self or your own will, you'll want to live longer," H'el said.
The inscrutable eyes of the Highfather narrowed slightly, then he said, "You're very clever, Kryptonian."
"The ultimate goal of any divine avatar is to break free from the control of the gods, break free from everything of the gods, and gain true independence and freedom of will."
"Otherwise, when this universe ends, the avatars will carry all will, souls, knowledge, and energy back to nurture the true self.
But no avatar can do it, no avatar can separate from the true self. Ultimately, they will leave the universe at the end of the universe, return to merge with the true self, and completely disappear."
The Highfather continued, "Other gods would forbid avatars from revealing this information, but my true self doesn't care, so I can disclose this kind of information.
I have seen Athena. Since the beginning of this universe, Athena has been seeking a way to become a truly independent entity of free will. She has failed countless times. This time, she found you and placed her hope on you."
H'el suddenly realized Athena's intentions all along. No wonder she was so devoted and loyal, helping him build and manage the magical legion without any resentment.
Compared to the future freedom and independence, not having to return to the true self at the end of the universe and truly becoming a free and independent entity, all the work was just a small matter.
"It's natural. I have compassion and goodwill towards the beings of this universe. I truly don't want them to die, nor do I want myself and my New Genesis to die prematurely. I long to survive in this universe until its end," the Highfather's face and eyes were tinged with a hint of sadness as he said:
"Please help me, H'el."
H'el's expression was somewhat subtle as he said, "Your ability to come to the solar system and settle in the position of Mars is related to the Guardians. Based on their power and influence alone, the Cosmic Guardians can offer you greater assistance. You don't need to ask for my help."
Both the Cosmic Guardians and the Highfather are essentially allies, dedicated to maintaining cosmic order and peace.
Both of them see Darkseid as a formidable threat. H'el didn't quite understand why the Highfather kept insisting on him to help.
Am I being used as cannon fodder?
The Highfather shook his head and said, "You are different. The information left to me by the true self indicates that there will be hope born in the universe, and only by cooperating with the hope born in the universe is it possible to completely defeat Darkseid.
This hope will appear as a Kryptonian."
H'el fell silent, feeling a bit embarrassed internally.
Bro, who you're referring to is my son...
