Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

One Rick in jacket was painting a picture of a magnificent and beautiful future, while the other Rick listened with his eyelids drooping.

"It sounds so lonely."

"Lonely? Dude, you have an endless ego, an endless party, and the guests are the only people we like!"

"You think it's cool to be the smartest person on Earth, but once I pass this technology on to you, you will become the smartest person in the infinite universe!"

"Infinite Rick".

"You are God!"

Faced with Jacket Rick's impassioned speech, Rick simply shrugged and turned away to continue with his work.

"Not interested."

"What? Bro, Rick isn't uninterested in this. Who do you think you are?"

Jacket Rick couldn't believe it.

“I think I’m a different Rick.”

"Okay, let's see how long this lasts."

Jacket Rick was clearly dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything. He just glared at him and then opened the portal and left.

"I heard some pretty sci-fi sounds. Have you made any progress?"

A blonde woman pushed open the door and entered.

Rick looked down at himself.

"A little. I looked at myself carefully, and I think the path of science might not be a viable one."

"Okay, then why not take Beth along and go get ice cream together?"

"Okay, I'll go get the car."

The crowd didn't understand why such everyday scenes were being shown.

But the next second.

"Come on, girls, the ice cream is melting!"

The blonde woman who had just appeared led her daughter into the garage.

Suddenly, a familiar green portal opened above, and a strangely shaped object fell down, making a continuous "beep beep" sound.

—The World of Rick and Morty—

"Oh……"

Rick covered his eyes in pain, while Morty next to him stared wide-eyed.

He seemed to have guessed what it was.

as predicted.

That was a bomb.

The horrific explosion completely destroyed the garage.

Apart from Rick, none of them survived; even Rick, who was in the car, was injured.

Chapter 44 Central Finite Curve

"wdf!"

Exclamations of surprise came from the living room.

Morty looked at the garage door, and sure enough, the door opened the next second.

"Dad? What the hell is going on?! Why are Mom and I dead?!"

Beth charged ahead, her face filled with shock and anger. Behind her followed a bewildered Jerry and Xia Mo, who was still scrolling through her phone.

“Rick! You need an explanation!” Beth’s voice trembled. “The sky said Mom and I were blown up—then who am I? Am I a fake?”

"Grandpa! Are we all mannequins you made?" Xia Mo finally put down her phone, revealing a rare serious expression—though not a very serious one.

Jerry stood at the back, weakly raising his hand: "Um... although I don't know what happened, if it's Rick's fault, I've already said it, he's always been an irresponsible person—"

"Shut up, Jerry."

The whole family spoke in unison.

"Oh... Fuck, shut up!"

Rick stood up abruptly, swaying slightly from the alcohol, but his eyes remained sharp.

"Xia Mo, you guys really exist! Jerry, talk to me again after you find a job! Beth—"

He looked at his daughter, and his voice suddenly softened.

"Ah...it's just a different universe...never mind, you guys keep watching, Tianmu should know everything."

Faced with the noisy crowd, Rick initially found it too disruptive and angrily lashed out, but finally sighed helplessly and continued sitting in the garage, taking out his treasured wine to drink.

"Everyone, let's come to the living room and continue watching."

Morty noticed that Rick was not in a good mood and immediately urged them to leave.

Seeing this, the others didn't say anything, but just gave Rick a deep look.

"Rick, want to come along?"

"No need, kid, you go ahead, I need to be by myself for a while."

Morty hesitated for a moment, walked to the door, and then looked back one last time.

"Okay, remember to call us if anything happens, we're family."

Rick did not answer.

He simply raised the bottle and offered a distant toast to the void.

…………

Images flashed rapidly across the sky.

With vacant eyes, Rick, as if suffering from dementia, remained expressionless, staring blankly ahead.

Red and blue police lights flashed, paramedics examined Rick's injuries, insurance claims were processed, and the police investigated...

Prime Rick destroyed our protagonist Rick's family; he lost Diane and Beth, and he lost all sense of purpose in life.

The final shot focuses on him, dressed only in a vest, looking disheveled like a homeless person.

He couldn't recognize this person as the young man from before; he looked decades older, more like a middle-aged man.

He was unshaven, with sunken eyes and greasy, matted hair. His vest was covered in stains, clearly worn for ages without being washed.

He sat on the sofa, just sitting there blankly, doing nothing.

The setting sun slowly sank behind him, stretching his shadow long and thin, the shadow twisting and extending.

However, after a brief period of dejection, he rallied and resumed his experiments.

Then, his eyes suddenly hardened, filled with hatred so intense and pure that it seemed capable of igniting the entire universe.

He immediately returned to his workbench and began tinkering with things.

Soon, he created the same teleportation gun as Prime Rick.

Faced with the unknown beyond the door, he did not hesitate at all, immediately shouldered his bag and stepped into the portal.

He travels the world in search of the murderer who killed his lover and daughter.

It's all pizza, the telephone is people, and people are the world of the telephone.

A world of biting wind and blizzard, a blizzard sweeping across the land, snowflakes as sharp as blades cutting into Rick's face.

An interstellar train traversing a wormhole, with various strange alien creatures sitting in its carriages.

An arms dealer was exchanging business cards for favors when he was double-crossed by Rick, who then outmaneuvered him and killed them all.

……

Countless scenes flashed by, all of which were worlds Rick had once set foot in.

People from other worlds, looking at a few of them, couldn't help but marvel at how vast and wondrous the world truly is.

A person can be used as a telephone?!

Running around, killing—all in search of Prime Rick.

His world was filled with hatred; everything he did was for revenge.

Killing, destruction, war... only in these could he find a semblance of life.

In the scene, Rick finds a friend.

A birdman.

They fought side by side, charging into battle. Enemy blood splattered on their faces, mingling with their own.

After the battle, they sat on the ruins and raised their glasses to drink.

Birdman handed Rick a bottle of liquor, which Rick took and gulped down.

Wine dripped down the corner of his mouth, which he casually wiped away with the back of his hand.

In the end, for reasons unknown, the two parted ways.

——Guardians of the Galaxy World——

Rocket Raccoon stared at the birdman in the sky with a complicated expression.

"Hey, look at that guy—he has an animal friend too."

Groot made a puzzled gurgling sound.

"Am I Groot?"

“No, I mean—” Rocket pointed at the screen, “that guy lost everything and found a birdman as his partner. In the end, they still broke up.”

Star-Lord leaned back in his chair, unusually refraining from joking.
