American comics: Praising the sun, starting from Gotham!

Chapter 365 Xiu En? Where are you?

Is this what it feels like to be erased?

Xiu En felt a little bored.

He tried to think about his fingers, then his arms, then his body.

The next second, a humanoid silhouette made of golden light appeared.

This state of being banished from existence was not entirely unfamiliar to him. When he began practicing the Great Sun Projection Technique, some of his consciousnesses often drifted in the gaps between different lights, just like this.

Loki's doomsday clock-like device did indeed temporarily kick him out of the American comic book server and block all his account information.

But coincidentally, this triggered a life-saving clause in the Great Sun Projection Technique: the Golden Crow's feigned death.

When the physical body is determined to be logically dead or causally disappeared, its soul will automatically enter a deep-sea diving mode, taking the form of light consciousness, and escape into the higher-dimensional sea of ​​light, waiting to be reawakened.

He had previously developed a forbidden technique similar to nothingness, which allowed him to keep his soul undisturbed.

"Alright, it's time to go home."

Xiu En mobilized his divine power, preparing to lock onto the Xi Mu Realm as before, and then project a shadow directly to A Fu to see if there was any afternoon tea to eat.

However----

He failed.

His connection with the Ximu Realm was severed.

No matter how he called out or how he sensed, the other side was full of rejection towards him, and then Xiu En was thrown to a strange place.

"What's going on?"

Xiu En began to observe his surroundings.

He was floating on a boundless ocean.

And in this ocean, hundreds of millions of bubbles of all sizes and colors float.

Each bubble is a complete world!

He saw a bubble containing a boy wearing a red hat excitedly throwing a red and white Poké Ball, shouting, "Go! Pikachu!"

He saw in another bubble that countless Space Marines clad in massive power armor were roaring for the Emperor, fighting alongside a group of green-skinned Orks.

He also saw a white-clad swordsman with a gourd of wine hanging from his waist flying on his sword, shuttling between the clouds, with pavilions and towers full of oriental charm behind him.

Pokémon, Warhammer 40K, and even fantasy and martial arts games?

"Have I been redirected to the backend editing page?"

Xiu En instinctively flew toward a bubble he recognized.

In that bubble, he saw the spires of Gotham City.

He reached out his hand, touching the barrier of that world with hope.

"Bang!"

A force filled with rejection and oblivion repelled his consciousness back!

That world, like the Ximu Realm, was rejecting him.

It's as if his existence is an unrecognizable jumble of characters to that world.

Undeterred, Xiu En flew towards another equally familiar bubble.

Marvel Universe.

The result was exactly the same.

He was shut out by everything he knew.

"Depend on!"

Xiu En cursed.

Can not go back.

That fraudster Loki, the price he paid for exploiting the bug was having his account permanently banned on two servers?!

Just as Xiu En was about to unleash his divine fire and burn a hole in this damned world barrier, the old man's voice rang out in his mind.

[You brat, calm down.]

Xiu En was both surprised and delighted.

"Grandpa? You're watching! Quick! Think of something! I want to go home! Ivy must be frantic! Ah Fu's cookies are getting cold!"

There's nothing I can do about this.

Your existence has been temporarily erased from the records of the Heavenly Dao of those two universes by the laws of the End of the Road Bell. Returning is not possible by brute force; you must wait for the power of those laws to dissipate on its own, or find a new anchor point, before you can reconnect.

"Do we have to wait? How long?"

I don't know either.

Xiu En almost choked.

This place is the sea of ​​heavens, the source of all realms, and also the ruins of all realms.

Since you have arrived here, it is by chance. Why not choose a realm to reside in temporarily and await the opportune moment?

"Temporary stay?"

Xiu En looked around at the billions of shimmering world bubbles and became somewhat interested.

"Where to? That world where you can catch babies? Or that world with the decent-looking canned food?"

He turned his gaze to that world of fantasy and chivalry, brimming with Eastern charm.

"Or maybe we could go check out that area? It feels quite familiar."

No!

[In that realm where Eastern Taoism flourishes, the Heavenly Laws are of the same origin as ours! Many projections and avatars of deities from the Heavenly Court reside there!]

Although your previous act of saving the world was temporarily concealed by that minor deity's deceptive methods, the karmic consequences have not been eliminated; they have merely been delayed in being realized!

[If you were to step into that world now, it would be tantamount to walking into a trap! At that time, the golden light of merit and the aura of the Heavenly Court would work together from the inside out, tsk!]

"6

After hearing this, Xiu En silently withdrew his hand that had been reaching into the world of immortals and heroes.

If you don't want to go, then you don't want to go.

He tried to explore other world bubbles nearby, but quickly lost interest.

Without that noisy yet caring little flower on my shoulder to complain, even the most fun world becomes dull and tasteless.

Without Afu's cookies with all sorts of strange ingredients, even the most delicious planet would smell like a plate of sand.

He eventually drifted back to the outside of the Ximu Realm, which he knew best.

Xiu En carefully pressed himself against the crystal wall of the Xi Mu Realm, which was filled with a sense of rejection towards him, and silently observed everything inside.

The party was lively.

Everyone was happy.

Although Bruce still had a bitter and resentful expression, the fatigue in his eyes had obviously dissipated a lot. He was standing with Clark, discussing some post-war reconstruction plan.

Tony was loudly boasting about how he almost wiped out Kang's fleet with a snap of his fingers, which drew a good-natured laugh from Thor beside him.

Diana was smiling as she watched Barry and the other Flash kids engage in a pointless but hilarious food-grabbing frenzy around a huge buffet table piled high with all sorts of delicacies.

pretty good.

A relieved smile appeared on Xiu En's face.

"It seems the ending was pretty good."

He said to the old man.

"Although the process was a bit complicated, at least they are all alive and happy."

Yes, I'm happy.

He was very happy.

I was so happy that my eyes, which were filled with light, started to sting.

Do you really think that way?

"Otherwise what? I went through all this trouble, I couldn't have just gone to see them all frowning, could I? The celebration banquet was great, and Ah Fu's cooking is still as good as ever. It's just a pity about that roast lamb leg, I bet Saul ate it all."

As he spoke, his gaze passed through the jubilant crowd, past the smiling faces clinking glasses, and finally landed on the golden sunflower that floated alone in mid-air.

Ivy's clone.

A bewildered little fellow who has lost all his memories.

She looked very lonely.

She flew around the party again and again, as if searching for something.

The flowerpot sometimes looked up at the sky, sometimes down at the crowd, filled with unease and confusion.

Then, it seemed she gave up.

She turned around, dejected, and flew away alone into the distance.

Xiu En's golden hand of light instinctively reached out towards the world's crystal wall, only to be relentlessly bounced back by that resolute repulsive force.

He opened his mouth, wanting to call her name.

But he couldn't get any message through.

They are separated by a world.

A world of victory won by his own hands.

[Foolish child.]

"Old man, is there really no other way?"

The ways of Heaven are constant, and its laws are as firm as iron. Your predicament is the backlash against your deceitful methods, something beyond human control.

That's not what I was asking!

"I'm asking, besides just waiting, what else can I do?!"

【————】

The old man remained silent for a moment.

【treat.】

In the end, he uttered the word that Xiu En least wanted to hear.

The laws of this world reject you because they stem from oblivion. Your existence has been completely erased, therefore this world sees you as nothingness and naturally cannot tolerate you.

The only way to break this deadlock is to wait for him to remember you.

[When within this realm, there is a being who, at a moment when billions of beings have forgotten, can recall your name, your appearance, and your existence.]

At that time, with memories as the boat and longing as the oars, perhaps a bridge to heaven can be built on this sea of ​​oblivion, leading you home.

Xiu En gave a wry smile.

"But nobody remembers me. Who would remember me? Do you expect Bruce, with his data-driven mind, to analyze me from a bunch of gibberish?"

He turned his gaze once more to the figure that was about to disappear at the edge of the forest.

Even she doesn't remember anymore.

Who will remember?

Xiu En's light consciousness, like an idle ghost, floated around the incredibly solid crystal wall of the Xi Mu Realm, circling it again and again.

He tried to count the bubbles floating in the ocean of the world, but gave up after counting 3,681.

He then tried to give those bizarre worlds nicknames, such as the Baby Cup World, the Canned Food Quarrel World, and the Sword-wielding Slashing World.

But I soon got bored.

Without Ivy's nagging and without Afu's cookies to chew on, even the most bizarre and wonderful scenery loses all its flavor.

"Old man."

Xiu En once again harassed the entity behind the system, and the old man seemed to be very patient this time, not leaving.

"Do you think if I threw a punch at the world barrier of the Ximu Realm right now, would it be possible to loosen it a little?"

I advise you to conserve your energy.

[The crystal barrier of this realm has been blessed by the ancient tree named Yggdrasil, and it shares the same origin as your divine power. Its resilience is something that cannot be shaken by your current rootless and adrift state.]

"So, it's over?"

Xiu En sighed and listlessly drew one shapeless little turtle after another on the world's crystal wall with his finger.

He even felt a little nostalgic for the old Gotham.

At least there, he could find a few clueless people to stretch his muscles.

Just when he was so bored that he was about to start studying the composition of his Light Toes.

He saw it!

In the quiet forest of Ximu Realm, Lucifer actually found the little flower that had been troubling him!

They are speaking!

"Xi?"

The little sunflower tilted its flower head, repeating the words the man in black had just uttered in bewilderment.

She tried hard to analyze the word.

Dawn —

The first rays of sunlight in the morning?

She instinctively looked up and glanced at the warm sun of this world.

Sunlight----

So warm.

She likes the taste.

But she always felt that she also preferred another kind of sunlight that was closer and more within reach.

That sunlight would fall on her leaves, would shelter her on its shoulders, and would call to her in a helpless yet indulgent voice—

What did I call her again?

"You are a sunflower, aren't you?"

Lucifer's smile deepened as he looked at her adorable, pensive expression, and he continued to guide her in a seductive tone.

"And sunflowers always chase the sun."

"So, have you ever considered that perhaps the sun you're chasing isn't even in the sky?"

"Perhaps he's somewhere, waiting for you?"

Guided by Lucifer.

A blurry yet incredibly familiar golden figure flashed through her blank memory!

A name, a name she had recited a thousand times in her heart, struggled to rise to the surface like a bubble that had sunk to the bottom of the water.

Dawn —

----build.

"Repair? Hmm?"

She pronounced the name uncertainly.

"Um?"

On the other side of the World Sea, Shun noticed Lucifer's unusual behavior. Lucifer seemed not to have forgotten him, and even seemed to be reminding Ivy of something.

"Old man, why hasn't this guy named Lucifer forgotten me? Didn't he also attend that party?"

How could you remember me!

Xiu En asked the old man curiously.

"Hmm, this demon is no ordinary being."

The law known as the End of the Road erases the records within the causal lines of the DC and Marvel multiverses. This demon, like you, possesses an innate divine imprint that does not reside in either of these realms.

Your origin lies far beyond the Heavenly Dao of this world. And he is also a shadow cast by divine information from another dimension.

As the saying goes, "stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade," therefore, the laws of this world are like scratching an itch through a boot—of little effect on him.

The old man was explaining something, but Xiu En couldn't hear a single word anymore.

Because, in that very instant!

The very moment Ivy uttered that name!

A faint mental connection request, almost drowned out by the background noise of the Ocean of Worlds, yet carrying a hint of a sob, miraculously pierced through the repulsive world crystal wall and connected to his consciousness!

Xiu En's Light Consciousness erupted with a dazzling golden light!

All his attention and all his senses were drawn to that call!

He finally heard her voice!

"Fool----"

"Shu En————"

Where are you?
