"Mobius, Anti-Monitor?" Pharaoh frowned and said, "With all due respect, this name confuses me."
The armored man said calmly: "My name is Mobius, and I am the anti-monitor of the multiverse."
“Are you a god or a demon? What is the vocation of the Anti-Monitor?” the Pharaoh asked curiously.
“How much do you know about this universe?” Mobius asked.
Pharaoh smiled bitterly and said: "I used to think that the universe was just a combination of numbers and formulas, and it had already been incorporated into my mind.
But now, angels, wizards, demons, gods, Kryptonians, Superman...and you appear one after another, and I suddenly find that I know nothing about the universe."
“Actually, this is not the first time we have met.” Mobius sighed: “He is really cruel to you.”
“What does it mean? Who does he refer to?” The Pharaoh had a question in his head.
“There were once two independent universes, your universe and my universe.
One day, a blue giant with the power of creation came to my universe."
“Joan?”
Mobius nodded slightly and explained the fusion of the universe in detail.
In order to make it more vivid, he also brought the Pharaoh to the main control room, first used the master brain to simulate the process of universe fusion, and then fully introduced the current multiverse on the monitor to the Pharaoh.
Well, the anti-monitor can monitor the entire DC multiverse just like community security guards monitor the public areas of the community. They cannot see the details, but they can know every major event that has a material impact on the universe.
“There are six dimensions in the multiverse, and I don’t need to say much about the four-dimensional material world. You have lived there all your life.
There are eight divine realms in the five-dimensional Limbo Hell, which are the dimensions of thinking and imagination.
In the past, most gods and demons were based on the beliefs of all living beings.
As long as all living beings believe they exist, they exist.
If forgotten by all living beings, they will become weak and eventually die completely.
These creatures are the Old Gods.
Of course, some old gods were born and grew up in the four-dimensional material world, such as Zeus in Greek mythology, or there are higher powers that provide them with the foundation of existence, such as angels, hell demons...
These divine creatures are not bound by belief.
There are also gods who have their existence rooted in the rules of the universe. They are called "new gods", and they also only regard faith as a kind of food, not a necessity.
The sixth dimension above the five dimensions is divided into three areas: two large and one small. It is the world of the multiverse manager.
For example, the place you are standing on right now is my antimatter realm.”
The Pharaoh pondered and said: "You mean, there are three multiverse managers in the sixth dimension, who are higher than the gods and are higher beings?"
“If the multiverse is an ecological park, it has three administrators. Some are responsible for construction, some are responsible for daily management, and some are responsible for dismantling, destroying garbage, and ensuring the recycling of energy and materials.
They are respectively the Forger, the Monitor and the Counter-Monitor.”
Mobius stared at him, "Now you understand who I am?"
Pharaoh looked complicated and said, "But I don't understand why I am favored by you."
Mobius put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I thought that with your wisdom, you could figure it out in an instant."
“I just heard too much information that subverts common sense, and my head is a little confused,” Pharaoh patted his head and approached the giant three-dimensional projection map suspended in mid-air—a complete map of the multiverse.
“If I guess correctly, your target is Joan, or the universe that Joan left behind?
Damn it, thanks to me keeping him as a friend, he actually restarted my life without saying a word."
His expression became ferocious, "Joan definitely knows that Laurie, Daniel and I have completely different needs.
Laurie longs for peace in the rest of his life, but I hate having my fate manipulated.
He knows, he knows why I invented the tachyon accelerator for him - because I don't want him to affect my future."
Mobius smiled and said: "This is one of the reasons why I chose you. We can reach consensus on certain aspects.
Presumably you are not averse to destroying the new world established by Big Blue at the cost of destroying your life and dignity."
Pharaoh’s face was gloomy, and various emotions flashed rapidly in his eyes.
After a long time, he sighed and said: "None of the watchers are good, they are all bastards.
Joan’s universe, the world of ‘Second Pharaoh’ Harley Quinn...I have too many reasons to help you.”
“Very good, I saw you right!”
Pharaoh lowered his head and looked at himself, frowned and said: "You should have come to me earlier, maybe half an hour earlier. Now I have been poisoned by the little bastard, and only a ghost is left. What can I do?"
“Resurrecting you is just a small program in the multiverse machine.”
Morbius actually entered a code on the console, and a scarlet beam enveloped the Pharaoh.
“Uh-huh~~~” The Pharaoh intuitively felt a powerful force pouring into his body like pumping up an inflatable doll. He changed from illusory to solid, from soft to strong.
He clenched his fist, and a powerful force crackled between his finger bones.
He has a new body.
“This is the first reward I give you. A new body is rebuilt with the purest anti-matter energy. Now that you have the power of a god and can fight with Tearman, are you still satisfied?” Mobius smiled proudly.
Pharaoh frowned, shook his head and said, "I'm very grateful for your kindness, but I still like my original body."
Mobius wondered: "Why? In addition to being stronger, more energetic, and full of endless energy, your current body is no different from your original body. Even the genes are exactly the same."
“Unearned power makes me look like a fool,” said the Pharaoh.
Mobius said: "But you have been practicing the martial arts of the Celestial Dynasty for decades, in the cold and heat, practicing day and night. Isn't it for the sake of strength?"
Pharaoh shook his head and said: "I go to learn martial arts, more to temper my will, transcend my spirit, and enlighten my wisdom by beating my body, not just for the strength of my fists and feet.
The strength that I have now like a bull is of no use to my spiritual practice. It can only turn me into a dull-minded man who is used to relying on strength to solve problems.
If I really needed strength, I would have smoked Joan decades ago and made Manhattan myself.
If I need power to achieve my goals, it would be easy to clone an army of giant octopuses and rule the earth and even the galaxy."
Those who are anti-monitors are actually unable to refute at this time.
“I can’t take you away while you are alive.” Mobius said.
“Because of Joan?” Pharaoh asked.
“Not only the blue giant, but also the monitor. Wirt, you are not an ordinary person.” Mobius looked at him deeply, “You are the third outsider since the birth of the multiverse.
Think about it, if the administrator has been supervising a garden for countless millions of years, and suddenly sees a wild boar breaking through the fence and running wild in the garden, can he not be impressed and pay more attention to it?"
“Alas, I don’t remember anything.” Pharaoh said helplessly.
"Not long after Big Blue arrived in this multiverse, you followed him in a small airship, and then..." Mobius paused, frowned and said, "I don't understand too many details.
, after we destroy the 'alien universe' and after I recover all the matter, energy and information, I can return that period of life to you."
Pharaoh nodded and asked again: "Now that I am being taken away by you, won't Joan and the watchers know that I am being taken away by you?"
Mobius said: "When you are in the material world, you are in the sight of the blue giant. When you arrive in the Abi Hell in the underworld and become a Buddha there, you will be enveloped by the power of the gods in the heaven.
The gap between Limbo and Wantianyi belongs to the third-noise zone and is out of sight of everyone.
Unless someone happened to be there at the time to see the whole process, no one would know your whereabouts.”
The Pharaoh was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "I have joined the gang, tell me our ultimate goal.
If it is just to bring destruction to the world, please forgive me, it is too untechnical, too unstyled, and not worthy of your status."
“Revenge can’t be the motivation for your actions?” Mobius asked curiously.
"Revenge is a low-level desire, just like sex, it is very interesting, but it does not need to be the goal of life." Pharaoh puffed up his chest and said proudly: "As long as I live, as long as you give me time, revenge will be as simple as casual.
Turn the steering wheel and crush the stinky dog poop on the roadside until the juice splashes.
But I can’t stop my car or change the direction of my life for the stinky shit on the side of the road.”
“Adrian, you are so interesting.” Mobius said with interest: “What is your goal in life?”
"When I was 25 years old, I was wearing the uniform of the Pharaoh, standing on the top floor of the building, overlooking the bustling city below, and my heart was filled with pride..." The Pharaoh showed a look of memory, and suddenly sang loudly at the top of his voice: "
I am Osmandis, the King of Pharaohs, and my unparalleled achievements make even the mighty ones in the heavens despair! (ps)"
The Pharaoh is not going crazy... Well, it does seem like he is going crazy.
The following paragraph, which looks like a declaration, is actually quoted from the British poet Shelley's sonnet "Ousmandias (Pharaoh)".
The title "Pharaoh" also comes from this.
“Unparalleled achievement...” Mobius had a complicated expression and asked softly: “Has your ambition not changed yet?”
“I have changed and I am no longer the ‘Pharaoh’.” Pharaoh sighed.
Mobius said: "I will destroy all positive matter universes, and then use antimatter energy to reconstruct a new multiverse. At that time, I will be the sole master of the multiverse.
You can choose a single universe or a single universe as your private domain and practice your great achievements at will."
“Well, this ideal is barely passable.” Pharaoh said reluctantly.
Mobius said blankly: "Only 'barely'?"
Pharaoh smacked his lips and said: "To be honest, dominating the world and destroying the world are not very classy goals.
Replace the world with the universe, and then expand the universe into the multiverse. At best, it will be an enlarged version of Genghis Khan and Alexander.
Obviously, even if I succeed, I will only be on an equal footing with them, and I will not be able to make the mighty gods despair of my unparalleled achievements."
Mobius clenched his fists and suppressed the urge to destroy him with one punch, saying: "It seems that your achievements in life cannot even compare to ruling the world."
Pharaoh raised his eyebrows, "I want to rule the earth, will it be difficult?
At that time, I did not use force at all. I only relied on strategy to make the countries in the world operate according to my will.
If you want to destroy the world, it’s easier. I can come up with countless strategies in the time it takes me to sit on the toilet and take a shit.”
“Then tell me, what is the unparalleled achievement that even the God of Heaven can’t achieve?” Mobius gritted his teeth.
“Of course they are doing what they cannot do—making something inevitable impossible, making the impossible a reality.
For example, let a world destined to be destroyed by war due to human greed and depravity turn into a peaceful and prosperous age of harmony, tranquility, and friendly exchanges between people." Pharaoh said with a serious face.
