Vol 7 Chapter 6: Goodbye

"The Knights of the DC Family( Find the latest chapter!
The third of the late Christmas~
In the human survivor base on Earth in the branch of the future, Dr. Manhattan looked at the superman in the branch of the future, and was silent after saying hello. Speaking of it, this should be the first time he has met Superman in this situation. If there is no such thing as Ke Wen, then he should be creating a series of conflicts and directing the malice of the world to Superman. Later, he officially appeared in front of Superman.
When Superman was in a state of desperation, he kept stimulating Superman with the so-called truth. Whether it was the death of his adoptive parents, the malice of the world or the death of his comrades, it was all because of himself, which angered Superman and reached the final he wanted, angry. Superman threw a fist at himself, determining the future of him or this multiverse.
But this future no longer exists. After Ke Wen appeared, the modifications he made disrupted everything he had originally moved in this new 52 multiverse. Some traces of the old 52 universe have been preserved, and Superman's adoptive parents did not die. Although Dr. Manhattan later arranged various accidents based on Superman's experience, it also died because of Ke Wen. Not only that, Dr. Manhattan also interrupted his experiments on Superman and temporarily left the main universe.
It was not until this time when I returned, after noticing that the future had become unobservable and dividing into three branches of the future, Dr. Manhattan appeared here. In this weird situation, he had a battle with Superman who was supposed to have a fate. Meet like this.
To be honest, for Dr. Manhattan, such a meeting is quite strange, and it is not in the future that I have predicted. Since Ke Wen, the big flapping moth, has shaken its wings blindly, the so-called predicting the future has basically become a decoration. After seeing Dr. Manhattan greet him, he fell silent. This represents the darkness and the doomsday branch, Superman, also laughed, flashed to the side, and made an inviting gesture.
"Come in and sit down. Over the years I have also learned about you from Ke Wen, and Bruce also left me a file before he disappeared. I know you, Doctor Manhattan, and I know what you did to me. , But for now, no matter what you have done to me, it doesn’t affect our conversation, doesn’t it?"
Hearing that, Dr. Manhattan did not refuse Superman's invitation, and walked in first, and Superman followed, the door closed, and the two gods of the world sat down on the table. Looking at the hot tea that was already prepared, Superman poured a cup for Dr. Manhattan, and said, "I think you should be able to drink this, after all, omniscient and omnipotent."
Superman didn't ridicule. For Dr. Manhattan, taste and smell can exist as long as he wants to. Ignoring the temperature, he finished the hot tea that Superman poured himself, and then watched Superman speak.
"I never thought we would meet in this way, nor did I think I would meet a different Superman."
"Of course, in your expectation, we should be fighting the so-called fateful battle on Mars or the burning ruins, and I will not wear my casual clothes like I am now. The battle uniform, waving my iron fist, but speaking of it, my hand is also an iron fist."
After showing off his prosthetic limbs, there is also indescribable indifferent in Superman's words.
"He didn't lie to me?"
"Little Conan tells you that there is no problem with the beginning and the end of this future. Even if I have not figured out how Darkside obtained the technology of Re-engraving Day of Destruction in the first place, I don’t know how to create such an army. The truth has long been buried in the past. At that time, we were all saddened and anger dazzled. Not a single brain rushed to the Apocalypse for revenge. It was our maximum calmness. Even so, we paid the price."
When Superman said this, Dr. Manhattan also glanced at the building where Superman was located, and his gaze stayed for a few seconds on the photo hanging behind Superman. Photos of familiar people like Lex Luther, Diana Prince, Martian Hunter, Bruce Wayne, and Louise Lane are placed here. This is an ancestral hall! The photos placed here also represent the people who are constantly passing away in this future, during this period of the Apocalypse Star War!
"A heavy price. Even now, you are still paying such a price, but you still did not answer my question. The words of Ke Wen’s son did not deceive me, and you have no need to deceive me, but he treats him before he was born. The matter is not fully informed, at least he is not clear about his particularity, he is the day of destruction, the original matrix of the day of destruction, right."
With a certain tone, the superman who had been drinking tea paused for a while, and he continued the conversation with Dr. Manhattan after drinking his cup of tea.
"How do you see it, only Ke Wen and I know this, neither Kara nor Conan." When asked Dr. Manhattan this way, Superman affirmed this statement. He was just curious in the words of Ke Wen, because His butterfly effect has lost his ability to observe the future. How did Dr. Manhattan, who had the ability to look back to the past, discovered this.
"Ke Wen told you about me, you should know how I was born, observe the future, look back to the past, including multiple uniqueness, this kind of me. If performance only depends on observing the future and looking back to the past to understand what happened, then You and him look down on me, right."
Having talked about this, Superman can also feel that the human aspect of the Manhattan doctor sitting opposite him has also begun to grow stronger, but this is not enough. So now that Dr. Manhattan asked, Superman didn't mind explaining his confusion.
"You are right, Conan, it can be said to be another day of destruction."
"It all started when Batman lost his mind to assault the Apocalypse War, didn't it?"
"Well, Conan told you that we encountered a whole new dark elite group there, a Darkside that was beyond our imagination, and the real Day of Destruction. The Japanese Legion of Destruction that came to the earth before was It was cloned and reproduced using him as a template. In that case, I really didn’t see any hope. The power of Doomsday has exceeded the understanding of Ke Wen and me, and Batman has grown into a complete body. It was his strength alone that made me desperate, and he also awakened the ability called Destroyer Spore.
Even if you don't do any damage, just standing there can devour all life, including the planet. It can be said that if it weren't for the day of destruction that could not be controlled, and at the critical moment, regardless of the enemy's attack, Ke Wen and I would never come back. Darkside was also hit hard in the battle. Under the protection of the dark elites, he temporarily escaped from the Apocalypse, leaving only me and Ke Wen to fight Doomsday.
The battle made Ke Wen and I desperate. The Destruction Day spores he evolved were difficult for me to get rid of. The spores can infect other life forms, erode life forms imperceptibly, and transform them. Because it overcomes the characteristic of death, it is useless to kill him. On the contrary, killing the existence of Doomsday will infect spores, be corroded by Doomsday, and be reborn by this, and become a stronger entity in an existence that defeats itself. Doomsday! "
Dr. Manhattan was silent, seemingly compared to his own disturbance of the New 52 Universe, because the changes made by Ke Wen himself were more terrifying. At least before I disrupted and restarted, the day of destruction in the past was not so terrible. This was a purely unsolvable monster! But Superman was able to stand here and be intact, which shows one thing. At that time, Ke Wen killed the Doomsday and got rid of the influence of Doomsday spores.
"How did Kewen beat him." For the powerful creature like Doom Day, Dr. Manhattan also changed the title from it to him.
"That's not a defeat, it's just a trick. He has the three universes of the Earth, the conglomeration of the Destruction Day, and the Planet Destroyer armor. Although not as powerful as the Destruction Day of the Lord Universe, it has the same characteristics. , To overcome death. He sacrificed this armor to limit the invasion of Doomsday spores, and with the help of the momentary gap brought by this restriction, dug out the heart of Doomsday, destroying the armor, destroying the sun spores, The Day of Doom itself is condensed into this heart.
It is still full of the consciousness of destroying everything, but as a heart, after being restricted in it, it is restricted by Ke Wen’s armor of destruction. He also loses the ability to corrode other life forms, but it cannot be destroyed and erased. Despite this, we Still paid the price, the lives of Lena Luther and Zatana Zatara. "
Having said that, Dr. Manhattan also understands. He was thinking about it before. Before, Conan said why he was empty me, but there was still a problem in essence. Even as a mixed-blood Kryptonian, Conan’s life level is higher than that of the Amadeum spirit stone. Even if Kewen implants the Amadeum spirit stone into his son, he will absorb energy with the aid of the Amadeum spirit stone. Features, to repair Kara’s injury, but also to allow his son to absorb enough nutrients.
But this approach is like filling a sea with a bucket. It is not impossible, but it takes a long, long time. But this Amadeum spirit stone was already passive before it was implanted in Conan. For example, it has been swallowed by the heart of the Destruction Day and disguised as an Amadeum spirit stone, the effect is different.
"You and he would do this without telling your wife (sister)." Dr. Manhattan still questioned, because this is not the style of these two people. If they will do it at all costs for revenge, even themselves If family members can sacrifice, then Dr. Manhattan has won. He has confirmed that Superman will become like him, and even worse, Ke Wen's persistence is also wrong.
When Dr. Manhattan said so, Superman smiled bitterly.
"How is this possible? If we knew that the heart of the Doomsday had swallowed the Amadama spirit stone before the implantation, we would not do anything to say anything. We would rather implant it in our own body, in the matter In the event of inaction, it becomes a decisive battle with Darkside on the Day of Doom. Ke Wen’s idea at the time was to implant spirit stones, as far as possible to repair Kara’s physical injuries, while delaying the birth of Conan, so that he does not have to be born here. Bad times.
But things backfired. Neither he nor I thought that this heart would devour the most suitable thing for them in the so-called system space of Kewen, the Amadama spirit stone, and disguised it like it, fooling me and Ke. Wen, by the time the heart disguised as the Amadama spirit stone merged with Conan, it was too late. But the strange thing is here, Ke Wen and I both did a good job at the time to pay the price of our lives and protect Kara, at the same time, the little Conan who merged with the heart of Destruction Day did not run away.
Nor has it become a small day of destruction in our perception, he is just himself. Then it was born in a war against Darkside. Ke Wen and I were puzzled, but at the same time we could only attribute it to the peculiarity of life. An unconscious child was receiving the erosion of the heart of the Day of Destruction. He didn't go violently, and he didn't tear off his mother's protection. On the contrary, he was born as a baby. Maybe this was also the arrangement of fate.
Seeing the birth of Conan, Ke Wen and I were keeping a secret while observing him and watching him grow up and grow up. Ke Wen is qualified as a father. He is worried that his son will one day become a monster that destroys everything, but before he becomes a monster, he is still his own son, a child born at an inappropriate time, he has to let him have a normal childhood Although this childhood was accompanied by war, at least he has parents, playmates, and normal education.
Then he continued to grow, receive training, and education until he grew up and became active as Kamen Rider Sora. Both Ke Wen and I know that this group of people like Conan will be a new hope. What he and I have to do is to protect them before they can stand alone. If possible, Ke Wen and I both hope that their generation It is to rebuild a new earth in the ruins, not to follow us and throw into the battle against Darkside. "
It’s a beautiful and innocent wish. Dr. Manhattan couldn’t condemn the decision of both Ke Wen and Superman. If he stood from the perspective of the two at the time and had only one idea, it would be to blend this together. The baby at the heart of the Doomsday took it out and exiled it to an abandoned universe, or a black hole. Don't take any risks. Compared with a life without self-consciousness, hundreds of millions of lives are simple multiple choice questions.
Just like when he was in his Watcher universe, the man named Pharaoh, known as the smartest human being, simulated his energy operation at that time, and created a big explosion on Manhattan Island, which was matched with the previous target Own interrogation meeting. The lives of millions of people were exchanged with the lives of billions of people around the world that could break out of World War III at any time.
The two poles of the world work together to fight against their own powerful enemy. As the saying goes, in front of an enemy that cannot be resisted by a single force, human beings will abandon their previous thoughts of fighting each other and confront each other together to create a false peace. But false peace is also peace. He compromised, and therefore left his watcher universe.
But in the future history of the branch restored by Superman and Conan, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.
"Then what is the purpose of your meeting with me, Superman?" Dr. Manhattan, who was once again lost in thought, also looked at Superman and asked directly.
"It's nothing, just to make you understand more clearly. At the same time, I also want to know what kind of existence is the Quantum God who once wanted to push me into desperation in the words of Ke Wen. You, like me, are people who are blessed by fate but also cursed. We have become an all-knowing and omnipotent God in an environment that is not our own. No one can understand our pain and our troubles.
But what makes me different from you is that even if there are people around me who don’t understand my pain and troubles, when danger comes, they will not give up, and they will not stop their progress because of a like me. Not by your side. I don’t know why you came here from the past. If it’s for a decisive battle with me or with Ke Wen, then you don’t need to go to Ke Wen, I can just fight with you. I think I should be able to win the fight. you. "
In the end, Superman still has that sunny smile, but his aura has become dangerous, a danger that Dr. Manhattan, a quantum god, can also feel.
"No hurry. Before that, I also want to ask you a question. I also hope you can answer me. Then I will decide whether to start the decisive battle between us."
"Say."
"Do you hate him? Do you hate him for letting you know the truth of the universe's restart cycle, hate him for the dark, doomsday future caused by breaking this cycle? Everything you have lost could have been restored by restarting, Everything starts from scratch, and you will never reach such a future."
In the words of Dr. Manhattan, he naturally refers to Ke Wen. In Dr. Manhattan's view, from the moment Ke Wen chose to break and restart, there is such a doomsday, and the dark future is understandable.
Superman smiled.
"Hate? Of course I hate him, hate him for not telling me the truth about all this, but with his influence, the step by step butterfly effect makes us all at a loss. But why should I hate him, he from beginning to end There is nothing wrong with me. I want a normal life. He gave it. Bruce always wanted to take off his cloak. He almost did it. With three wives and six children, he should be happier than all of us.
Rather than hate him, it is better to say that I hate the impermanence of destiny. It is hard to get a future that everyone wants ~EbookFREE.me~ and can go hand in hand, but it gives us such a big joke, let us Everything is lost in this way. Because of this, I will neither compromise nor regret, nor choose to restart again by reversing time. That is a cowardly performance. We have to prove it to destiny. Even so, this is not a Full of darkness, a doomsday future.
It is the dark future before the dawn of a new era. As long as this darkness is broken through, a better new era will be in sight. What's more, when it comes to hate, as a person who has experienced all this and can't stop it, he hates himself more than I do. "
Lowered his head, Superman sighed and said after finishing his mind: "Then let's get started. Before this new dawn arrives, you still don't come to make trouble, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Superman discovered that the Doctor Manhattan who was sitting across from him just now disappeared and left the building, while a picture of the doctor in Manhattan was sitting there. Picking up this photo in confusion, looking at the cheerful man holding the woman in his arms and smiling, Superman also fell into doubt.
"What is this?" he muttered.
At the same time, in the confrontation between the wall of origin and the fortress made by Apocalypse, the blue light flashed, and the figure of Dr. Manhattan appeared in the palace. In front of him, the branch of the future, Ke Wen, who has reached middle age, also stood there, welcoming the arrival of Dr. Manhattan.
"I'm looking for you, Kamen Rider Liqi, Ke Wen."
"I'm waiting."
The omniscient and omnipotent Quantum God has crossed the long river of time. In this unpredictable branch of the future, he will fight against the Dark Lord with his own power. It belongs to the Kamen Rider No. 1 of the DC multiverse, named Ke Wen once again. Meet.
