Chapter 1004 The future of the savior

After coming into contact with the first branch of the future and finding some answers, Dr. Manhattan finally came to the second future after leaving the future branch of King Kewen.Doctor Manhattan, who was greeted as soon as he stepped in, couldn't control his expression when he saw this person who came to greet him.Because this person, like him, comes from the watcher universe where he is, and is a member of the superhero organization watchman.

"Why are you here, Adrian."

Yes, standing in front of Dr. Manhattan at this time is the organization he once belonged to, the superhero Adrian Vidit named Pharaoh, who is also the first human being to deflate himself through calculation.Although there are too many factors in this calculation, politics, people's hearts, and oneself, but being calculated is being calculated, and it is precisely because of the pharaoh's calculation that Dr. Manhattan is disheartened by human beings and left the watcher universe.

So I came to the DC universe, and saw Superman in the past universe era, this god on earth who had the same experience as himself, in order to verify whether he was correct or not, he did a lot of shit.So if you really want to throw the pot away, the pharaoh is the root cause of everything.But for Dr. Manhattan, this kind of in-depth research is meaningless. Compared with this, he is more surprised why the pharaoh appeared in this branch line of the distant future.

Even if the flow rate between the universes is different, the pharaoh should have died of old age after he left the watcher universe for many years, after all, he is just a mortal.But the pharaoh in front of him now, although he is old, is still a few points away from an old man who is about to decay.

"It's not just Adrian here, Joe."

Familiar voices came one after another, and in the garden where Dr. Manhattan arrived, familiar faces appeared one by one, the second-generation night owl (not the same person as the night owl in the three universes of the earth), the second-generation silk soul, and Two people who are even more unlikely to exist, the laugher and Rorschach, needless to say, the laugher, were killed as pawns in the pharaoh's layout against himself, and Rorschach insisted on exposing the false justice created by the pharaoh , and was killed by Dr. Manhattan on the ice field.

These are all things that have happened, but at this time, the two people who have died also appeared here and in this garden with other people.All of this makes Dr. Manhattan, who has lost the ability to observe the future, very puzzled. Even if he loses the ability to observe the future, he can't talk like that. If his feeling is not wrong, Dr. Manhattan feels that he is in the middle Lost, and ran back to his own universe.

But it's not right, the laughing craftsman and Rorschach are still alive, although they are also full of old age, which means that he did not come to the past of the watcher universe.Everything made Dr. Manhattan stupid there. He would not have been like this. If he was still completely rational and divine, he would understand the reason immediately.But the answer he got from Ke Wen, the king, brought back his humanity, and the memories and emotions brought about by the returned humanity made him come alive.

The reappearance of the old man and the memory of working together made Dr. Manhattan deeply moved. If he could still shed tears at this time, then the Watchmen members would see a tearful Dr. Manhattan.But it's not bad now, because Dr. Manhattan's mouth is wide open, and the expression of surprise can be seen on Dr. Manhattan's face.Regarding Dr. Manhattan's emotional changes, everyone in the Watcher universe who appeared here was talking about it as if they were watching a good show.

"It seems that guy is right. If Joe comes here, he can be sure that his humanity has returned. It's really rare. We haven't seen Joe show this expression for a long time."

"No, no, it's not been a long time. I haven't seen it at all. This is the first time. It turns out that God will be surprised."

The chattering discussions among the Watchmen members also made Dr. Manhattan understand one thing, that is, his arrival was predicted, and the person who predicted it was sure that he must have been to another branch of the future, and part of his humanity returned, so he came He arranged for the members of the watchmen to wait for him here, because he just wanted to see his expression, this expression of being surprised because the old acquaintance was alive and all the members existed, and lost thinking.

It has to be said that this forecaster has a lot of bad taste, and this kind of bad taste, in the impression of Dr. Manhattan, is only satisfied by such a guy, because he is the only one who understands himself, and that is Ke Wen.Obviously, Ke Wen, who exists in this future branch line, is no worse than Ke Wen, the king of the future branch line of the Apocalypse Star Wars. He can predict that he has already met another Ke Wen, and at the same time, he can accurately predict his landing. location, including the people brought in.

This is not something that can be predicted casually. Even if he regains part of his humanity, in essence, he is still the omnipotent quantum god, but he has changed from a god to a human being. Such an existence can be predicted When it comes to every move, how strong do you think Ke Wen is in this future branch line?
Of course, the members of the watchmen who appeared here were not just to see Dr. Manhattan jokes. They were here to pick up Dr. Manhattan, and there was naturally a reason for them.As the pharaoh who once calculated Dr. Manhattan, he also spoke first, breaking Dr. Manhattan's astonishment.

"I know what you are thinking now, Joe, it is indeed the savior named Ke Wen who asked us to wait for you here, but there is no need to rush to see him. Since we are here, let us catch up on the old days, presumably you I also really want to know what happened, such as how we did this, why the joker and Rorschach are still alive."

Leaning forward, the Pharaoh tried to wrap his arms around Dr. Manhattan's neck to draw closer to each other, but Dr. Manhattan took a step back subconsciously.Obviously, the return of humanity made Dr. Manhattan very mindful of the pharaoh's calculation of him, even though he didn't care about himself.When Dr. Manhattan took a step back, the members of the watchmen behind the pharaoh uttered oh in unison.

"Damn it, the savior's calculations are so accurate. Joe will really not stand with Adrian because of the previous incident. The ten dollars are yours, Rorschach."

The grizzled joker cursed, and took out ten yuan from his pocket to Rorschach, who was dressed as a homeless man, and the other two did the same.

"I told you earlier that he was absolutely sure that he let us come. After all, after Joe left our universe, he was the one he dealt with the most."

Luo Xia accepted the 30 yuan without saying a word, and responded there, well, this tone doesn't sound so cynical anymore.But what surprised Dr. Manhattan was the words of their conversation. It sounded like Ke Wen of this timeline had counted him even taking a step back. Such a predictive ability made Dr. Manhattan gasp. Ke Wen is so terrifying!
On the contrary, Pharaoh was not surprised that Dr. Manhattan took a step back with his narrow mind, which also shows that Pharaoh also believed in Ke Wen's prediction of this timeline.He just stood there and said: "Okay, if you don't mind, change your outfit, we haven't got together like this for a long time, don't let the fun go."

Dr. Manhattan, as before, transformed himself into the human form he used to be. Accompanied by several old acquaintances, he left the garden and strolled on the empty streets.Looking at this branch future that is different from the timeline of the Apocalypse War, Dr. Manhattan also felt a lot of emotion.

In the future of the branch we arrived at, the surface of the earth has become a wasteland, and small wars between human survivors and free Apocalyptic demons will occur from time to time. This is still a relatively peaceful rear.Although the human beings in the survival point had a hard life, they still had an upward momentum.But this branch of the future is different, well, it's a future that's intact.

Familiar modern buildings, familiar streets, a city that never sleeps, feasting and feasting, full of the atmosphere of modern technology.It's not just modern technology, Dr. Manhattan also saw something different, unlike the public facilities of civilian technology in the early 21st century, which means that the future that happened in the timeline of the Apocalypse War did not happen in this future , or not so much intensity.

"Do you think that all this is quite new? In this future, everything seems to be developing in a good direction, right?" Pharaoh also said there when he noticed Dr. Manhattan's strangeness.

"Yes, if Ke Wen in this timeline did not make a mistake, he should know that the future branch I went to is not good, so when I came to this branch future, I also prepared the mentality that this is a broken future. Prepare, but all this is different from what I imagined, but it shouldn’t be, even if this future does not have the tragedy that another future should have, but there will be another tragedy to supplement it, everything is different now.”

"I knew you would be curious about this, and haven't you noticed yet?" Pharaoh was not surprised by Dr. Manhattan's words, on the contrary, he asked Dr. Manhattan back.

"what?"

"Why do you appear in the garden instead of the universe? For you, accurate positioning is not a problem. Also, haven't you noticed until now, what is the difference between this city and New York?"

In the words of the pharaoh, Dr. Manhattan began to extend his perception, covering the entire New York, and soon, he also noticed something was wrong.Well, to be precise, a newsstand.The key is not this newsstand, but the reading materials on the newsstand. In the reading materials on the newsstand, he saw the serialization of Justice League comics, the serialization of Superman's personal issue, and the serialization of Supergirl's personal issue. These are projected into another real universe comic books.

Next came the newsstand owner and the boy, whom Dr. Manhattan knew, or who had appeared in his memory.

That happened in the watcher universe. Because of the unilateral imbalance of combat power between the two poles of the world, that is, with the powerful presence of Dr. Manhattan, the atmosphere of the Cold War is growing day by day, and a third world war may break out at any time, because Manhattan He helped his country win many battles that his country should not have won after World War II.

With the victory of the war, the tilt of the balance, and the aggressiveness of the country in the international arena, the whole world is on a powder keg, which can explode at any time.In order to prevent the coming of this war, the pharaoh, that is, the one beside him planned a conspiracy, using his partner when he was a human to stimulate the only trace of humanity that Dr. Manhattan had at that time, causing him to go berserk.

At the same time, a nuclear explosion was triggered on the island of Manhattan in New York, a nuclear explosion operating in his then energy mode, which claimed the lives of millions of people.Afterwards, Dr. Manhattan, who regained his composure, also came to the center of the explosion. Through restoration, he confirmed how many people died and how many buildings were destroyed.Among them, the owner of the newsstand and the boy who came to buy the serialized books of heroes were also among the victims.

But at this time they are still alive, living in this future timeline, not a phantom, nor a memory, but a real life.Therefore, Dr. Manhattan also had a guess, a guess he couldn't think of.

"This is our universe? No, this is not our universe, and it's not right, they are not parallel universe peers, they are people I know, what is going on, Adrian."

Dr. Manhattan can't figure it out anymore. Since he entered this future timeline, he found that everything about himself is in the prediction of Ke Wen in this timeline, which is very bad.It is true that part of his returning humanity is playing tricks, but even if it wasn't, what happened here is still inexplicable.

"This is our universe. Similarly, this is not our universe. It will be difficult to explain the situation for a while, but you can understand that this belongs to our universe. It collided with his universe and merged together. New Universe."

Surprised emotions appeared on Dr. Manhattan's face again, because it didn't make sense. The fusion of the universe and the universe is understandable, but it doesn't mean the fusion of the universe and the universe. Those who have died can be resurrected, which is unreasonable.Even if things are indecisive, quantum mechanics can't explain all this, it doesn't make sense at all!

"Yes, this is unreasonable, and it does not conform to the interpretation of quantum mechanics, but it is very consistent with Kamen Rider, and Kamen Rider's matter does not need to be so serious. Well, this is what he asked me to tell Your words, when you show this expression because of my words."

Regarding Dr. Manhattan's surprise and his thoughts, Pharaoh replied again.

But Dr. Manhattan, who was in a state of being blinded by the quantum three views, couldn't listen to anything at this time, and only one sentence echoed in his mind: Don't take the matter of Kamen Rider so seriously.

After a long time, Dr. Manhattan said: "Ke Wen in this future timeline, who the hell is he?"

"Didn't we tell you just now? The savior, the savior Ke Wen, this is his title on this earth, to be precise, it is his title in this universe." Look up, there are more exciting things waiting And you.

Looking up, Dr. Manhattan's perception extended infinitely, and soon he understood what the Pharaoh was talking about, the earth, a broken earth, a lifeless earth floating above the solar system!
