"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."
