Chapter 156: The Danger of the First Prophet, the Metropolitan Mission
"We have no time!" The prophet began to pack the necessary items, and she turned to Spider and said, "Now we must go to the Metropolis right away... It's no longer worth wasting time on this bat. We need Superman's help now!"
The little spider said in surprise, "Hey! We have all convinced him to get to this point! If we don't continue, why are we here for?"
The prophet glanced at Batman, "He will convince himself about what he will do next, and he will naturally come to us at that time. It is not completely meaningless... and I said that the Second Prophet is stronger than me, so he will create many unexpected surprises that are not what I expected... Just like now."
"I thought he would wait until the committee formally requested it."
"But now it seems that he has taken action to get the committee's request ahead of time!"
Spider-Man said solemnly, "I am very familiar with the name Chen Ang..."
But the prophet turned around and said, "What?"
"He is the leader of the Holy Shield. The Holy Shield is the superhero organization of our world, just like the Justice League in your world, but it is more official. The Holy Shield is divided into East and West. It was originally an organization with a long history in the East and West regions and originated from the same source, the Divine Spear and the Divine Spear. In order to cope with the world crisis under the new situation, Chen Ang is the leader of the Divine Spear Bureau of the East."
"But this is my previous memory... After coming to this world, I discovered a blind spot in the original world that I had never noticed... I know a doctor named ang hen, six years ago when Chen Ang appeared in the Divine Spear Bureau. His name is pronounced as Chen Ang's Chinese phonetic symbol. He is one of the scientists organized by the government to deal with the Skynet crisis."
"I suspect they are alone...but the strange thing is that such an obvious clue has never been thought of."
"Maybe it's just a coincidence?" the prophet shrugged.
Spider-Man then said horrified, "But they look exactly the same!"
The prophet started to doodle. This time she drew very realistically, using sketching techniques. Soon Chen Ang's image became vivid in her pen. The little spider looked at the familiar figure on the drawing paper and felt more and more afraid, "It's him..."
The prophet said solemnly, "I originally thought the Second Prophet was a simple person. Now it seems that the secrets in him are quite large. The Three Prophet System and Organization... The First Prophet who saved the world without anyone knowing it; the Second Prophet who also exists in other universes... Now it seems that I am the only one who is simple and flawless, and there is no secret."
The little spider hesitated, "But it may not be...I have seen other people in this world who look exactly the same as ours, and he himself does not know about it. So... it may be some mechanism in the universe that we do not know, or the universe you are in is our parallel world, so there are homosexual bodies."
The prophet looked up and said, "Is it true? There is such a coincidence? Is there me in your world? Who is that person?"
The little spider shook his head and said, "I haven't seen you... but maybe I know fewer people. The person who looks very much like the person I know..." He turned to look at Batman who was standing aside without saying a word. He took a deep breath and said, "In our world, his name is Black Bat King. He was originally the leader of an alien super-powered race on the moon. Later, the moon perished in the war, so he came to Earth and tried to reunite the tribesmen who were lying on Earth."
"After he joined the Holy Shield, Chen Ang created a pair of armor for him... exactly the same as his!" Spider pointed to Batman's armor and said, "I just looked at it very carefully, and the details were missing, but it was generally not bad."
Batman's expression changed a bit, but his face was hidden in the shadows and no one else could see it.
"Maybe it is parallel world observation..." The prophet changed the statement and said, "The second prophet may exist in all parallel worlds, and his consciousness can be transferred in these worlds."
"If this is the case, we all underestimated the ability of the Second Prophet, and he may not be worse than the First Prophet."
The third prophet shook his head and said, "He has never revealed his relevant abilities. The committee has greatly errored his intelligence. The organization is becoming more and more mysterious. I thought I had seen through most of the secrets inside. Only the first prophet is something I cannot know. Now it seems that I am too arrogant. The water of a second prophet is so deep."
"No wonder he is the second prophet, and I can only be third."
"I couldn't find the committee meeting an hour earlier, and I couldn't tell whether there were any signs of prophet's intervention. Anyway, I didn't find evidence of the second prophet's interference. But I did not observe the sudden increase in the probability of this possibility. I thought it was just a sudden low-probability event."
"But now it seems that the second prophet may choose the timeline... As long as something has a probability of happening, he does not need to interfere directly, he just needs to choose that timeline, and it will happen naturally. And I can only do it myself and induce the future to approach the direction I want. I use the law of causality to influence the future... but he may be able to decide the future."
"I suspect... his way of existence is a forward fan. At our current time point, there is a source of his existence. The origin radiates countless uncertain dotted lines towards the future, which is the world line of his existence. That world is uncertain. The world that exists in a wave function is like a fan radiated from our world, representing countless possibilities in the future."
"Wait... I'm dizzy when you said it!" The little spider hugged his head and said, "Can you explain it more simply?"
"Number of time travelers who exist at the same time... You can imagine that he is the overlap of countless time travelers. He can go back to the past and change the world at will... because his past is our present. You can imagine that I am the combination of a limited number of time travelers. Once I encounter a bad ending I want to change, I must go back to the present and change the future I know."
"Do you know what's the most complicated thing like this?" asked the Prophet.
"Butterfly effect!" Batman finally spoke, "Your weakness is the butterfly effect... You go back to the past from the future and change the direction of the future, but just like the movie Butterfly effect, you cannot be sure whether what you do will lead to other variables, but your ability can make you go back to the past countless times. So every move you make will lead to changes in the future you observe."
"You can only observe the changes after you interfere, but not the changes after you will interfere, and you can't predict the changes after you change your future behavior in advance. You are a time traveler who can go back to the past countless times."
"Yes!" The prophet's face turned cold, "You have discovered it! You should be preparing a plan for how to destroy me! I would like to advise you, don't plan the future in front of the prophet... The only one who can defeat the prophet is the prophet!"
Batman continued without comment, "And the Second Prophet, he doesn't need to change the future by himself, he just needs to determine one of the countless futures. In other words... he doesn't need to do it. If he doesn't do it, it won't become a variable. The future will only develop in the direction he sees, and there will be no accidents and butterfly effects."
"So if the third prophet wants to change the future, he needs to keep correcting himself. The second prophet just needs to wait!"
"If the third prophet is still likely to be defeated, such as taking advantage of her weakness of being unable to see through the butterfly effect and setting up traps in advance, then the second prophet is almost impossible to defeat... unless there is another prophet."
The bat glanced at the third prophet and said, "So I will not plan to destroy you, because the only weakness of the other two prophets... is you. You have weaknesses. They don't! So your existence is the only key to control them. If you die, then their only weakness is the other person and each other."
The prophet said with a dark face and stubborn mouth, "You don't need to emphasize, I know that I am the most useless of the three prophets."
"Your existence is the biggest variable that will not happen in the future determined by the Second Prophet. There is more variable of yours in the future he observes, just like there is suddenly an unknown number in the solution he wants... It's very uncomfortable!" The little spider suddenly realized, "No wonder it is necessary to establish a three-prophet system. If you don't check and balance each other, any person has the ability to control the entire world."
"So, if you can kill you, the Second Prophet will lose one of his only two weaknesses."
The third prophet suddenly said in a shady face, "No...it may all disappear!"
"The First Prophet may be dead! The ongoing mission of the Commissioner in the Metropolis is related to the life of the First Prophet. They thought I didn't know, but in fact I knew, I just didn't know!"
"If the Metropolitan mission fails, the First Prophet may never wake up!"
"I didn't want to tell you before, because I was afraid that someone would take this opportunity to kill the First Prophet. Now it seems... this person is by my side!"
