Chapter 727: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility (Part 2)
Eternity never thought that there were any questions in this world that he could not answer. A truly omniscient and omnipotent being, the incarnation of the eternal universe, should of course know any truth in this world and be able to give answers to all questions.
But now, he found that he could not answer Spider-Man. More importantly, after Spider-Man said this, the entire Eternal Temple was emitting a faint white light.
Peter and Deadpool were both shrouded in this light, and Eternity, who was illuminated by this light, found that his omnipotence and domain could not penetrate into the light. It was a world unknown to him.
Who in this world has the right to interpret the gospel? Perhaps many people have, but Eternity certainly does not.
Fundamentally speaking, whether it is OA or Eternity, they are all functional gods. Simply put, their existence is necessary, a necessary condition for the universe to run smoothly, and the foundation of the entire world.
Their omniscience and omnipotence come from their way of existence. They are the universe itself and above the universe. Their entire scope of responsibility is to make the universe run smoothly.
God loves the world, which is not within their scope of responsibility.
Of course, in Marvel's official setting, OA's weapon is love. Whether this is influenced by the content of the Gospel is unknown, but God's love for the world certainly does not include killing your beloved relatives in every universe.
Of course, the doctrine also includes the theory of atonement and trial, but if Spider-Man is a believer, then why does he have a more tragic fate than those unbelievers in each universe?
Could it be that God can love everyone but not Spider-Man? If so, how can we talk about God's love for the world and universal values?
Eternity cannot give an answer to this question, and he dare not give an answer to this question.
Marvel comics have a characteristic, that is, it is not very willing to explore issues related to reality. Marvel is more inclined to commercialization and is unwilling to explore sensitive topics, which affects its commercial value. Occasionally, the discussion is superficial.
On the contrary, DC comics always like to touch on some topics related to human nature and society, and even published comics such as Hard Journey Heroes that specifically explore social issues.
This is also the source of the fight between the fans of the two sides. DC fans always laugh at Marvel for its lack of depth, and Marvel fans always laugh at DC for its whining. The two sides have fought to this day, but there is no result. Instead, the editorial departments of the two sides have a good relationship.
If it was in DC, Spider-Man asked this question, then there would definitely be a series of comics to specifically discuss this issue. Trialism, atonement, universalism, is it justification by man or justification by faith? Is it man who loves God first, or God who loves man first? These are all worth discussing.
However, Eternity, which operates under the Marvel system, chose to keep silent.
However, he could not give an answer, and there was no way to solve this matter. If Deadpool wanted to vent his anger on his good friend one day, wouldn’t the Eternal Temple have to guard against Shit Man Jinshan every day?
He couldn’t answer it, and he couldn’t send them away. If he sent them away, he was worried that they would come back. For now, Eternity has only one way left, that is, to report to the higher authorities.
I can’t answer this question, boss, you can do it.
Yongheng sighed and said to Peter: "Wait here for a while. I'm going out. When I come back, maybe there will be an answer."
Peter was a little confused. He didn't understand why Yongheng was leaving.
In fact, he didn't expect Yongheng to give an answer. It was just that Schiller asked him to ask this question. He was also holding back a rage in his heart. Fortunately, he did what Schiller said.
Peter really felt that it was a bit unfair. Even if it didn't involve faith, all the Spider-Mans in the multiverse and their families didn't do anything bad. Why did they have to suffer all this?
Talking about the content of the Spider-Man comic, it can really be called a blood and tears history behind the laughter.
As the former sales leader of the Marvel editorial department, Spider-Man's status as the top brother did not bring him any good luck. On the contrary, basically every Spider-Man has a story of deep hatred.
At least one of his closest relatives died. The girlfriend designed by the previous editor was killed by the next editor. In order to maintain Spider-Man's friendly image, he often had to do odd jobs because of lack of money. Those who made it were killed by the heir family, and those who didn't make it were scolded for only swinging fists and not using their brains.
If it was only one or two universes like this, it could be said to be a coincidence, but every universe is similar. With the status of his father and the treatment he got, Spider-Man can be said to be Marvel's number one unlucky guy.
Peter felt that even if Spider-Man was not perfect, he could not be so guilty, right?
If there were no gods, it would only be their own bad luck, but there was obviously a full-time and omnipotent god who could arrange everything in the universe at will, so why did he target Spider-Man so much?
After saying that, he felt that he was in a much better mood. In essence, Peter did good things not for rewards. He did not think that he was a good person and should enjoy everything. He asked this question, on the one hand because Schiller instructed him, and on the other hand just to vent his anger.
It can even be said that this kind of performance is the toughest among all Spider-Men. Others have never even thought about questioning a god. Peter can only be said to be a slightly normal good guy.
In the temple, Peter had already pulled Deadpool to leave, but Eternity was still on his way to the company over the mountains.
It was not so easy to cross the barriers of the world. Even Eternity had to spend a lot of effort. Moreover, he was sent to such a remote place and had to go to the headquarters every day to trouble the big boss. Eternity felt that he was really close to resigning.
At this time, OAAA, who was in the Marvel headquarters universe, felt very relieved when he saw the clean and tidy headquarters universe. Fortunately, his actions were clean and neat and did not cause greater losses.
At this time, the Life Tribunal summoned him, and Eternity from a universe that he had just kicked out came to cause trouble again.
Of course, compared with the five gods, OAAA's emotional thinking is weaker, or in other words, his job requires him to be more logical and rational, so he pays more attention to Eternity's purpose.
Eternity only brought Peter's last words to OAAA, but choked OAAA for a long time and couldn't speak.
Although they are superiors and subordinates, OA can't answer the questions that Eternity can't answer.
How can he answer? Answer that God doesn't love the world? That would be easy to be physically saved, but if he answers that God loves the world, but doesn't love Spider-Man, and says Spider-Man is an outcast and an unjust person, then is there any need to sell the comics?
Even if it is a trial or atonement, once the discussion starts, this issue will be ruined.
OA always feels that this problem of blocking both ends sounds a bit familiar, not like Spider-Man's style, but like...
OA and Eternity had a wave of secret exchanges, and then they summed up a rule that as long as there is a problem in this multiverse, it must be related to someone.
Just when OA and Eternity were exchanging views, Lucifer was looking around near the origin wall of the DC world.
Just now, he suddenly felt that the feather that existed in Schiller's soul was plucked, but Schiller just plucked the feather without saying what he was doing, which made Lucifer angry and curious.
Is this a distress signal? Or is there something wrong with Schiller's soul? Or is the universe from which the previous harassing call came, suffering from some disaster? Or is it something more mysterious?
Lucifer, who is too idle, has endless time to practice his curiosity, and because of his strong strength, he will basically not encounter any danger.
He can leave the Origin Wall, which is second only to God. However, outside the Origin Wall is not a peaceful place. If he leaves the Origin Wall, many of Lucifer's abilities will be discounted. If he crosses the Origin Wall in the flesh, the most important thing is slowness.
However, Lucifer has other ways.
The structure of the DC universe is different from that of Marvel. The DC multiverse is limited, generally speaking, there are 52.
These 52 multiverses are like the fillings in the buns, wrapped in the Origin Wall. Generally speaking, they have fixed positions, with darkness and light each occupying half, but in addition, there are also super-time flow multiverses and unstable multiverses.
This was not the first time that Lucifer went outside the Origin Wall. After all, he was so strong and so idle that he had tried almost all extreme sports, and he had naturally gone to unknown places to explore mysterious places.
However, the world outside the Origin Wall was not as exciting as he imagined. In addition to a bunch of monsters sealed outside the Origin Wall, there was endless silence.
Although Lucifer always pursued fun, he was not stupid. He knew a long time ago that if he left home, he might be in danger. Therefore, the way he left home was not to put on clothes and go, but to drive a car in his garage.
This car was a universe of DC.
Of course, after all, it was their own property. If the 52 main universes were reluctant to harm it, they would go to the unstable multiverse or the super-time stream multiverse to find a car that was almost easy to drive, and then they could go to the Origin Wall to race.
This time, Lucifer still planned to do so when he went to find Schiller. Since he was going to find Schiller, he would drive in the universe where Schiller was.
Lucifer integrated his will into the universe, turned the car key, and found that it could start the engine. He stepped on the accelerator and drove the universe to the vicinity of the origin wall.
The next step is to drive the car out of the garage, and then you can roam the world outside the origin wall.
Just like humans cannot feel the rotation of the earth, most creatures in the universe actually cannot feel Lucifer driving them, and they are all living their own lives steadily.
It is a bit difficult to move the universe out of the origin wall. First of all, you have to make sure that your biological father doesn't see it. Lucifer looked around and found that God had no intention of coming out, so he stepped on the accelerator and the universe rushed out of the origin wall.
Outside the origin wall, there are many monsters that were sealed out in ancient times, but under the protection of Lucifer's power, this shining car accelerated to 3.6 per 100 kilometers and disappeared into the endless darkness with a "whoosh".
When Lucifer, who had a great time racing, finally followed Schiller's GPS signal and arrived near the target point, he saw Schiller in a small cube with his arms folded and a look of resentment on his face.
If Lucifer was not mistaken, judging from the shape of his clothes, Schiller should have been thrown out by someone by the collar.
