God's Seven Days of Creation
"Kino, we've stayed long enough."
Venom warned.
"Okay, let's go pick up Damian."
Kino grabbed Kara and Venom and disappeared from the spot.
A short while later, the Flash returned with Chinese food, but when he looked around, he couldn't find a trace of Kino.
He already knew in his heart that, just like last time, the other party had once again chosen to leave this world after the crisis was over.
It was always the same; once the crisis subsided, Kino would quietly depart, like a fleeting shooting star in the night sky, leaving only a brief but brilliant glimmer.
He arrived in front of Damian, who was receiving training from Bruce at that moment.
"You're really alright."
Bruce breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kino appear, after all, it was only his guess that Kino was alright before.
"I almost didn't make it back, and I might have been exposed. I'm here to get Damian out of here as soon as possible."
"Kino said."
Bruce nodded, gave Damian a few instructions, and then watched them leave.
Just before leaving, Kino stopped and said softly, "No wonder Lucifer wanted to leave this world so much; he wanted to leave your side more than anything else."
As soon as he finished speaking, Venom, Kara, and Damian's figures slowly dissipated like a dream bubble, eventually disappearing without a trace.
Only Kino remained in place, silently gazing at Bruce across from him.
Bruce looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Kino, what did you just mean?"
Kino shook his head slightly, not answering directly, but instead posing a question, "Bruce never asks questions lightly; he only relies on his own abilities to investigate thoroughly."
I've been thinking about this for a while now: God, as the supreme being, transcends time, space, and the multiverse, and whose essence doesn't depend on any universe, does He really need Lucifer?
The numerous reboots of the DC Universe have proven that any changes to a character can be incorporated into a larger story framework. God, as the embodiment of the "Author's Will," always transcends plot fluctuations. So, would the author allow himself to have weaknesses?
Bruce's puzzled expression vanished, and he walked towards Kino.
The once dark Batcave began to undergo strange changes; the stone walls gradually faded away, replaced by a pure white courtyard.
Bruce appeared before the wonder, now transformed into a blond boy in a white robe.
"Indeed, it is necessary. Lucifer's rebellion and Free Will are proof of God's omniscience and omnipotence, and also a living chess piece created by God, but it is not irreplaceable."
Michael, Sandman, the Great Dark Hand, I could even create a new Lucifer."
God gazed at Kino with his usual gentle eyes, a gaze like that of someone looking at an ant trying to challenge authority. Instead of anger, one would feel curiosity and anticipation for what amazing things Kino might do next.
"So, the one you truly value isn't Lucifer, but me, isn't that right?"
Kino keenly grasped the key point and asked directly.
"I noticed your presence after you took Lucifer away, but I couldn't find you until you appeared before me, which surprised and delighted me—a being from another dimension."
God circled Kino a few times, his gaze softening with affection, much like humanity's love for gold.
Kino clenched his fist, wanting to throw a punch.
"What happened to Venom, Kara, Damian, and the others?"
"They're fine, or rather, they know nothing."
God waved his hand and opened a screen.
The screen displays a scene: another Kino is celebrating a grand feast with the Justice League members, reminiscing about the disaster that has just ended.
Kara and Venom were whispering intimately to each other, their faces beaming with relaxed and joyful smiles.
Damian, however, remained in the same world, continuing his life.
"What exactly do you want to do? Imprison me, kill me, or study me?"
Kino then asked.
Upon hearing this, God shook his head, seemingly somewhat saddened, and said, "Kino, I have never been your enemy. You think too badly of me. Perhaps Lucifer said something bad about me to you."
I mean no harm, and I won't kill you. I just want you to stay in this world. In this world, I won't stop you from doing whatever you want."
His words were sincere.
"Why? Even if I'm from another dimension, it shouldn't be unusual for you. You created the whole world."
You are different.
God continued.
"The Fourth Dimension is the world you lived in before."
The Fifth Dimension is the dimension of imagination.
The Sixth Dimension is the control room of the multiverse.
Seventh to Ninth Dimension are used for buffering.
The Tenth Dimension is where we are now. I am intimately connected to the Tenth Dimension; I am the ultimate First Cause. You can understand this as meaning that before I created the DC Universe, I was the only life form in this world."
As God spoke, the pure white scene around him vanished, Kino stood in the void, unable to perceive time or space.
Until a beam of light appeared in this void.
First Day: God used this nothingness as a template to begin creating the ninth to first dimensions. At this time, it was still a barren wasteland, devoid of any life.
Second Day: The Creation Goddess, Perpetua, was born. Her appearance was to create the Main Multiverse for this world, including the Realm of Gods.
Life appeared in that dimension, along with a strange energy—emotional energy.
Third Day: The Source decomposes emotional energy into a seven-color Spectrum, and the Lantern Entity are born: Ion Shark, Parallax, Spirit of Existence, etc. become Spectrum entities.
Fourth Day: Perpetua planted life on Earth, endowing humans with unique Connection Gene that enabled them to defy the laws of physics (explaining the origin of superpowers).
At the same time, Lucifer rebelled against Heaven, established the Hell Dimension, and the "Good vs. Evil Game" of Free Will officially began.
Fifth Day: The Creation Goddess has completed her mission. The Watchers disobeyed Perpetua's orders and created Parallel Universe on their own, causing the multiverse to proliferate out of control.
Perpetua was sealed outside the Outside the Wall.
Sixth Day: God foresaw an endless crisis in the future and wrote Reboot Protocol into the bottom layer of the universe.
The Flashpoint Paradox becomes an emergency button; when reality collapses, the Flash can trigger Timeline reshaping using the Speed Force.
Seventh Day: The DC Universe becomes a self-evolving story matrix, with gods observing as "authors," and heroes and villains writing their legends in an infinite loop.
This is the story of God creating the world in seven days, but this is not the end, but the beginning.
The Deep Logic of DC Genesis
The DC Universe was designed as a "story machine that can be rebooted indefinitely".
The struggles of heroes and the ambitions of villains provide emotional energy to the universe, maintaining the operation of the Emotional Spectrum (see the concept of the black light consuming emotions in "Blackest Night").
God is not omnipotent; His creation was full of trial and error and compromise, and even required mortals (such as the Flash and Batman) to correct his mistakes.
