章節 677: Chapter 462: Secrets of the Past (Part 2) _1

"Doomsday, what a strange name."

"It means exactly what it says, the day it emerges is the day the entire Earth, even the entire Universe, is doomed."

Bruce and Lex felt their hearts stop for a moment, especially Bruce. He approached Shiller, looked him straight in the eye, and said, "Can't you do anything about it?"

"I'm not sure." Shiller provided a vague answer, which clearly didn't satisfy Bruce. However, he didn't push further, he's not the type to lay his hopes on others.

"What is its weakness?"

"I'm not sure, or perhaps it doesn't have one." Shiller gave another hopeless answer. But then, Clark spoke up in a calm and firm voice:

"That's impossible. Everything in this world must have a weak spot, maybe I can handle him..."

"Maybe you could kill him once, but when he reappears, that weakness will no longer exist."

"It evolves?" Bruce instinctively discerned the key part of Shiller's statement.

"Yes, but...." Shiller deliberately dragged out his answer. All eyes were on him as he said, "It appears that someone has come up with a solution."

As he spoke, he moved slightly closer and gazed at the egg.

The egg's shell was opaque, so it was impossible to see what was inside, but they could see the egg trembling ever so slightly, almost as if it had a heartbeat, although it was incredibly slow.

"Will Kryptonite affect it?" Shiller mused aloud, and then looked up at those strange devices emitting Kryptonite light, saying "....What is that formation?"

"It appears that someone has managed to seal this egg?" Lex walked over, his brain working incessantly. Bruce followed suit, his gaze contemplative, but also tinged with curiosity.

"The situation isn't as dire as I made it out to be since this creature hasn't hatched yet. Furthermore, someone has found a way to suppress this egg."

"But it will ultimately hatch, right?"

Shiller scrutinized Bruce with an assessing gaze, recalling a law of the DC Universe.

In every universe in DC, there is light and darkness. In the dark universe, everything slides downward irreversibly, meaning, anything bad that can happen, will happen.

If this is a dark universe, then it's likely that this egg will hatch before long. However, the Laughing Egg inside Bruce hadn't hatched, and Shiller was able to defeat it with a good beat-down, before it was launched as a Parallax.

Which indicates that this universe might not be part of the dark ones, but that doesn't mean a powerful antagonist can't emerge in a bright universe.

Doomsday is essentially Superman's nemesis. In the famous comic, "The Death of Superman," it was he who killed Superman.

The comic "The Death of Superman" had a complex historical background. At the time, DC company wasn't doing well. It needed something to draw more fans to purchase their comics, hence they decided to create havoc for their most famous superhero, Superman.

To create enough buzz, the comic was named "The Death of Superman." To achieve the goal of killing Superman, Doomsday was made incredibly powerful. With one hand, he defeated the Justice League, excluding Superman, even plucking The Flash right out from his Divine Speed.

After arriving on Apocalypse Star, he survived being blasted by Darkseid's Omega beam. Later on, he developed the ability to produce Doomsday spores, eventually infecting Superman and creating Doomsday Superman.

In summary, he was an absurdly powerful antagonist, and like all villains rushed into creation, his powers and background didn't seem reasonable.

From what Shiller could tell, the origin story of Doomsday in this universe was quite complex, and he wasn't exactly a careless creation of Kryptonian scientists.

In the comics, when Doomsday made his appearance, he was already in his complete form. Although the complete Doomsday wasn't entirely invincible, Shiller had some ways to defeat him or seal him away. But given that in the comics Doomsday often revived and never seemed to die once and for all, Shiller had no confidence in being able to fully eliminate him.

However, the Doomsday that appeared here was an egg, which gave Shiller some other ideas.

Meanwhile, Bruce noticed some details. He walked over to the wall of the underground cave and felt the slightly moist rock. He said, "Judging from the state of the rock, this place should have been excavated decades ago, at least twenty or thirty years ago..."

He muttered to himself, "What the hell happened then?"

"So what happened next?" Kira asked Alfred in the manor's hallway.

"When I learned that the organization called the Court of Owls was possibly trying to create a terrorizing monster to rule over all of Gotham, I had to consider the potential danger of this monster."

"If an uncontrolled super monster is created, it wouldn't just threaten America, but all of humanity living on Earth. Those lunatics may not care, but I can't ignore it."

"So, I approached Falcone and explained my intentions. Initially, he didn't trust me, but he had no other choice..."

"Why is that?"

"Because, in Gotham, those who can solve equations are rare, and moreover, I graduated from the Mathematics Department of Cambridge University..."

Kira was speechless, thinking back to what she had seen and heard in Gotham, she felt Alfred's statement did not exaggerate.

"Of course, there's another reason. Despite suspecting, Falcone and Daniel had little intelligence since they weren't professional agents and couldn't obtain much information. Back then, they didn't even know the name 'Court of Owls'."

"But I was a professional agent. I could investigate this matter for them. Thus, we three agreed and started cooperating. In the end, we caused a bit of chaos, but we got our hands on the egg."

"Ah, I remember, the files mentioned that during that period, Gotham seemed to have encountered numerous vicious events. The Federal Bureau of Investigation visited to investigate, but they also suffered many losses. Some people even glimpsed some mysterious phenomena, which made this case seem more mysterious as it spread..."

"Yes, those people were not easy to deal with. We also paid a significant price. Because of this, Falcone insisted on not sealing this egg in Gotham, since Gotham is his territory."

"So, you chose Metropolis?"

"The egg stayed with us for a long time because we couldn't find a proper way to handle it."

At that time, things had died down. I could have returned to Moscow, but just then, I received news from Moscow. Kim Philby made his escape. He was already back in Moscow."

"Even though I had some understanding of the MI6 style, this matter still exceeded my expectations. Obviously, since Philby had successfully escaped, this list became less important for Moscow. It was no longer necessary to bring it home."

"However, this list was still incredibly important to other nations. If the Soviets had it, they needed it too; otherwise, they would always be one step behind. So, the news of Philby's escape didn't lessen the list's importance in the eyes of other nations. On the contrary, they became more desperate, like mad people trying to find the list's whereabouts, to gain information on par with the Soviets."

"The Soviets no longer needed it, but other countries did. So, the best way was to hide it somewhere. So, I hid it in Gotham. After things cooled down, I returned to Moscow first, seeking a solution for the egg, but..."

"Eventually, I returned to England."

"About a decade later, my father wanted me to inherit the family profession of being a butler and serve the Wayne family. At that time, I informed Moscow. They felt it was a great opportunity, after all, the Wayne family is the richest family on the East Coast of America..."

"So, initially, you were an undercover operator in the Wayne family?"

"Yes, but then something happened. Mr. and Mrs. Wayne died." Alfred's expression became sorrowful. He said, "Only the young master was left. I had to raise him."

"At that time, I was thinking about giving up my career as an agent."

Kira nodded, expressing her understanding. She said, "Many believe that agents should always be loyal to their goals, but we are also humans, with feelings. We are not machines built to fulfill tasks..."

Alfred shook his head and said, "My affection for the young master wasn't the only reason why I wanted to give up my career as an agent..."

"What else was there?"

Alfred fell silent, his expression showing a hint of hesitation as if unsure whether he should reveal more, but in the end, he said, "You're still young, you haven't experienced much, so you may not perceive her changes..."

"Her?"

"The Soviet Union."

Kira wanted to inquire further, but Alfred chose not to continue. After a moment of silence, Alfred began speaking again, his voice no longer as robust as before, revealing his age.

"Perhaps, I'm a disgraceful deserter, or maybe, I was unwilling to face certain cruel realities."

"Or, perhaps, I realized that when faced with the degeneration of those grand ideals and glorious days, I wouldn't be able to remain rational..."

"But eventually, I chose to bid farewell to the past."

"When I returned to Gotham to serve as the Wayne family butler, Falcone informed me that they had properly handled the egg. I'm not entirely clear on the process, but in the end, the egg was placed in the underground of Metropolis Manor."

"Falcone informed me that initially, they simply found a place outside of Gotham to place the egg, but later, they discovered a fallen alien mineral that seemed capable of suppressing the egg's vital activities. So, they transformed that place into a massive seal."

Kira frowned and asked, "Is the seal secure?"

"All it can do is delay the nesting period of the monster. We still have no idea how to kill the monster."

Alfred placed his shotgun down, leaning on the ground with its barrel. He looked out the window and said, "This is one of the reasons why I wanted Bruce to come here."

"In the guest list you gave me, I saw the name of that professor. I knew he was no ordinary person and capable of ensuring everyone's safety. Bruce is someone I personally raised. I know the astonishing wisdom he possesses..."

"If there is only one method in this world capable of unraveling the secret of this mysterious monster and eliminating it, I believe, the combined efforts of these two people would be the best solution."

Meanwhile, Shiller, who was deep in thought underground, heard Gray Mist's voice in his mind.

"Food! Lots of food! Eat!"

"Food? Where's food?" Shiller asked uncertainly.

"Green stone, smells good! Let me bite it!"

"Green stone..." Shiller looked at the nearest Kryptonite device and asked in surprise,

"You eat Kryptonite???"

"Hmm! Smells delicious!"

"Why didn't you say anything when we were outside?"

"That didn't taste good, only this one does!"

"But the Kryptonite here is used to seal the egg..."

"I'm hungry! I've been hungry for ages! I want to eat, eat, eat, eat, eat!"

Bruce, who was studying the rock layer by the side, noticed that Shiller's gaze towards the egg had slightly changed.
