"Knights of the DC House ()" Find the latest chapter!
In the distant branch Future 1, outside the earth's atmosphere, the moon, a satellite that originally surrounded the earth, has disappeared, and a sonic explosion channel comparable to the size of the moon just stopped at the original position of the moon, aiming at the earth below. This is the first future of the New 52 universe observed by Dr. Manhattan through his own quantum ability after returning to the main universe. When Dr. Manhattan passed through the time channel and entered the first of these three branches in the future, the scene he saw appeared in the space of the earth.
Dr. Manhattan has to admit that when he took back his humanity and returned to the main universe with perfect divinity, the information he received gave him the urge to return to humanity again. I have to say that Ke Wen, who exists as a variable, really gave himself too many uncertainties. Especially one of the three branches of the future, which is the future one he is now stepping into, was really shocked when he saw this sonic explosion channel comparable to the moon appearing in the sky above the earth.
"Apocalypse's sonic boom channel? It's so big? Is this a future where the earth and Apocalypse start an all-out war." When Manhattan saw the text all over the periphery of this sonic boom channel, he knew it was a sonic boom opened by Apocalypse channel, and it can also be seen that this is not the initial stage of an all-out war between Apocalypse and Earth.
This sonic boom channel has existed for some time, which means that this is a long-term war. What Dr. Manhattan is curious about is how the earth survived the long-term attack of Apocalypse, even with this kind of Judging from the situation, there is still a tug-of-war.
This is not that Dr. Manhattan bad-mouthed the earth. Apocalypse is a powerful civilization, comparable to the extinct Krypton, or even worse. In terms of individual combat power, the Justice League headed by Superman, together with the new generation of Ke Wen, under the command of Batman, adopted beheading tactics at the beginning of the war, directly assaulting Darkseid and his dark new generation. God, it is indeed possible to repel the attack of Apocalypse.
This was the case with the previous invasion of Apocalypse, but once the war reached a stalemate, the strength of Apocalypse as a higher civilization became apparent. An established demon-like body, also known as the part of the Apocalypse Demon, is enough to defeat the coalition forces of all countries on the earth. Whether it is from space, sea battles or land, the Apocalypse Demon is powerful and fearless. The civilization of the earth, as far as the military is concerned, is a dimensionality reduction attack, the kind that doesn't give you any face at all.
Even in the initial Darkseid invasion war, due to the strength of Darkseid's avatar, the Justice League composed of Superman and others defeated Darkseid, and used this avatar as a signal to open the sonic channel, bringing Daxeid Kesaid, the Apocalypse Demon threw back the Apocalypse Star. In this war of aggression that lasted less than two hours, half of the earth was basically destroyed. Many cities were directly turned into ruins, and a quarter of the urban area of the metropolis, which was the battlefield, was directly lost. , the kind that completely turned into a wasteland.
With such an example before him, Dr. Manhattan wondered how the Earth, in the event of an all-out war with Apocalypse, remained on the defensive, not even destroyed.
From Dr. Manhattan's point of view, beneath the sonic tunnel comparable to the moon, the earth is still intact. Of course, it can't be regarded as intact, but as an inherently weak side in the all-out war, if it can maintain this state, it is already considered intact. But if they look at it from the perspective of others who don't know the situation at all, it's hard for them to connect this devastated planet with that blue planet of life.
The continental plate is full of flames of war, and the azure sea that is the main color has also become lifeless against the background of the flames of war. With Dr. Manhattan's eyesight, he can see the continental plates of Asia, Europe, America, and Australia. , I have long lost the vitality I saw. No matter which continental plate it is, what I can see is a devastated city, and the conspicuous landmark buildings collapsed together.
The ruins are everywhere, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a planet with life.
From time to time, there are teams of Apocalypse Demons patrolling the ruins of these dilapidated cities, capturing a human survivor hidden in the ruins from time to time, locking him in a container, and increasing the number of humans in the container. When it reaches a certain number, it will be closed and escorted to fly into space, and return to Apocalypse through this huge sonic channel, and then transform it with biotechnology to become a member of the army of Apocalypse Demons.
Only in space, Dr. Manhattan obtained part of the information, but he still didn't know the whole truth. For example, why did the earth start a full-scale war with Apocalypse, how long did this war last, and where are the superheroes who are the first line of defense of the earth, the Justice League, the Teen Titans, and the Ministry of Self-improvement of China, where are they now? Dr. Manhattan There is no way to know, just like a big hand has erased all the information from the past to the present.
It made it impossible for him to restore the whole process through the information of only the scales, but it was not difficult for him. He is a quantum god. Even if something unexpected happened to him, as long as he knew it, he would have a way Restore all back. The prospect of the future of this branch greatly increased his interest.
"Very good, even I can't fully understand the future, let me see what happened in this future."
With a look of interest, Dr. Manhattan disappeared from space in a flash. When it reappeared, it was already here on Capitol Hill, suspended on Capitol Hill, looking at the presidential statue on Capitol Hill, in the past main universe he came to, Superman who was ready to take office in January, that is, Clark Kent The statue is indeed carved on the mountain wall, and it is the only one of the five statues that is well preserved, which means that the past history has not changed much, and Clark did become president.
After obtaining the information here, he also appeared in New York, as the Hall of Justice, the image building of the Justice League. More accurately, it should be the original Hall of Justice. Because what Dr. Manhattan saw was only a piece of ruins, and even the words on the Hall of Justice were half destroyed. No matter what used to exist in it, it no longer exists.
When seeing this, Dr. Manhattan frowned and flashed again. This time, he appeared in Nasino City, and similarly, he also saw something that was expected but still somewhat unexpected. The Titan Building also became ruins, and fell to the ground in two, like a giant that was cut in half. And on the sea surface not far from the ruins of the Titan Building, another building is half-soaked in the sea surface.
That was the watchtower, which belonged to the Justice League's first line of defense against the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations. It just fell on the sea and became a cold building wreck. Looking up at the sky, the huge sonic channel replaced the moon and illuminated the earth. Dr. Manhattan could imagine the scene at that time. The huge watchtower was like a meteorite, falling from the sky with flames. The endless army of apocalyptic demons.
Using the fall of the watchtower as a signal, they began a full-scale invasion of the earth. Then, Dr. Manhattan went to another place in Nasino City, not far from the Titan Building, which originally belonged to Ke Wen's own cabin, the Planetary Detective Agency. Of course, this place has also become ruins, and there is nothing left. Next, Shanghai, London, Sydney, Tokyo...these cities all have traces of Dr. Manhattan.
But what he saw were still ruins, ruins, ruins! Even the world tree that was born in the Ginza area of Tokyo because of the knight's original event turned into a rotten tree and collapsed there.
Walking on the streets of the city, Dr. Manhattan fell into confusion. He could indeed feel that there is life on the earth, but such life force is not enough to resist the sweep of the army of apocalypse demons. What is stopping them, so that they dare not do whatever they want? One last extermination strike on a devastated Earth? Also, he couldn't find any information about a superhero, and what made him even more curious was that he couldn't find a human surviving point either.
Since there are survivors, there should be survival points, but he can't find them, not a single one. This is impossible, as long as he wants to look for it, he will definitely find it, unless someone makes him not find it, and the ability of this person is not inferior to him. But who this person was, Dr. Manhattan could not think of, nor could he guess. Just when Dr. Manhattan was puzzled, he also raised his head and looked at the huge sonic boom channel.
If there is no trace of a superhero on Earth, whether it is Ke Wen or Superman, then there is only one place left, on the other side of the sonic tunnel, the other side that started the all-out war, Apocalypse!
Just when Dr. Manhattan was thinking this way, and was about to go to Apocalypse through the sonic boom channel, he also noticed the mutation coming from this huge sonic boom channel. A spaceship is staggering out of the sonic boom channel, accompanied by local flames, heading towards the earth, and behind the spaceship is an army of apocalypse demons that are completely different from the apocalypse demons on the earth in pursuit.
On the earth, the Apocalypse Demon troop that was patrolling also noticed the abnormality in the space. With a howl, the Apocalypse Demon troop that was like a swarm of mosquitoes and another Apocalypse Demon troop that was chasing after them also formed an encirclement trend, heading towards the ship full of The war-torn human spaceships carried out a pincer attack.
"Maybe you guys will bring me the answer," Dr. Manhattan looked at the spaceship with traces of Earth's technology and saw the people in the spaceship, he was stunned for a moment, and said to himself, and at the same time his figure flashed , appeared inside this spaceship that was full of war, and could be turned into ruins anytime, anywhere in the pincer attack of two apocalypse demon troops.
His appearance did not alarm anyone inside the spaceship. In order to better find the answer, he disguised himself. The originally naked quantum body disappeared and turned into the appearance of a scientist named Jonathan Jon Osterman when he was a human being. No one in the space felt that there was an extra person in the spaceship. Surprised, the moment Dr. Manhattan appeared inside the spaceship, he implanted subconsciousness in these people, and regarded him as a member of his own spaceship.
In the driver's seat, a girl is also calling for help through an encrypted channel. It is not a simple technology, but a new technology combined with magic. When seeing this, Dr. Manhattan's doubts were relieved a little. There is a huge human survival point, and the power of magic is used to disguise it. The level of magic is very high. This magic that works on the encrypted channel is more like a transfer station, transmitting information to that human survival point. .
"Help! Help! This is Earth Ark 12, captain Shana Todd, we are being chased by the Apocalypse Destroyer Troops, and these Apocalypse demons lingering on the earth, damn you can't be diligent Come on, sweep away some of these things on the earth! We have just completed a latent mission and carried important information. If you don’t come to the rescue, wait and see the fireworks in the sky!"
"...Sorry, Captain Shana, this is our negligence, please make an emergency landing to Nasino City, we have already sent rescue personnel here."
"Who? Gemini, Fei Xia or someone else, the one chasing us is the Destroyer, don't send some logistics troops who come here to deliver rations."
For the reply from the Survival Point, Shanna Todd also mentioned several names, but Dr. Manhattan didn't remember any of these names, but he also understood through words that he is the superhero in the Human Survival Point.
"No, it's the lord, you know it too."
Shana Todd's face was overjoyed by the answer from the survivor's side. It was obvious that she knew who the adult was, but she also had doubts.
"Him? Why is he free?"
"Because he is the Destroyer, that lord is free. He hates Destroyer more than any of you. Moreover, he happens to be on a search and rescue mission in Nasino City."
"Understood, now I only hope that this spaceship can last until the time of emergency landing in Nasino, otherwise he can only watch the fireworks."
After disconnecting the communication, Shanna Todd also focused on driving the spaceship and made an emergency landing towards Nasino City. But facing the Apocalypse troops attacking from both sides, the spaceship Shana was driving was like a small boat in a storm, in danger of being destroyed at any time. The frontal Apocalypse Demon troops are okay. Although there are a large number of them, their minions can't tear apart the exterior of their spaceships at all. They can only rely on the huge number and suicidal attacks to continuously slow down the speed of their spaceships.
So that another troop that was chasing after him, the troop named Destroyer, could catch up with him. Only the pursuit team composed of fifteen Destroyers was what Shana was most worried about. In front of their minions, my spaceship is useless, and their powerful bodies, even if one of them enters the spaceship, can unilaterally massacre their team. It can only deal with one head.
The boundless army of Apocalypse demons lay in front of the spaceship. Their suicide attacks had an effect. They exploded continuously, and the shock waves produced hindered the speed of the spaceship. The Destroyer, who was chasing after him, was close at hand, and could jump onto the spaceship at any time. Dr. Manhattan, who was watching all this from inside the spaceship, naturally wouldn't let this happen.
He still needs the people of this spaceship to take him to find the human survival point. Just when Dr. Manhattan was about to use his ability to make the spaceship move a certain distance, he stopped. Because he could sense that a powerful life form was rapidly approaching here.
"Look! What's that!"
Just when Shana was concentrating on driving the spaceship to race against time, a person in the team looked at a black spot outside the porthole and suddenly shouted. Everyone also turned their attention to the porthole, including Shana, and discussed it at the same time.
"Is that a bird?"
"Is it an airplane?"
"No, it's that lord!"
As the team's discussion grew louder, Dr. Manhattan also saw a figure wearing a half-mask brush past his spaceship. And behind the spaceship, the Apocalypse Demon Troops that had surrounded the spaceship from the earth before also fell into panic when this figure appeared. They were supposed to be fearless killing machines that faithfully carried out the orders of the Apocalypse, but when this figure appeared, they started howling. It was the smell of fear!
They tried to escape, but before they could make any effective evasive actions, this apocalyptic demon troop flying from the earth spontaneously ignited in the air without any wind, and the howling of fear stopped abruptly. In less than a second, the huge number of Apocalypse Demon troops turned into fly ash in the air, and slowly dissipated, leaving only the fifteen chasing teams called Destroyer Demons that were not affected.
But Dr. Manhattan could see that the fifteen Destroyer Demons were not unaffected, but that the flames that could effectively kill the Apocalypse Demons had no effect on them, and their body density was sufficient to resist the mysterious man's attack. It's just that it's uncomfortable, and the burnt red body slowly fades away, returning to its ugly appearance. The spacecraft also forcibly stopped in the air, and then slowly landed towards the ground.
The Destroyer Demons didn't launch an attack immediately, and they were more advanced than the Apocalypse Demons. They also had some wisdom of their own. They understood how powerful this mysterious person was blocking them, and attacking rashly would only hurt their own side and reduce their staff.
The spaceship landed safely, and everyone who survived the catastrophe also breathed a sigh of relief. As the captain, Shanna Todd wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and complained to the rescuer through the external channel: "You guy, always If you can catch up at the critical moment, you almost die, you know!"
"Oh, there's nothing I can do about it. You know, I'm busy. Well, you guys just stay in the boat honestly. I'll talk to you after I've dealt with them."
In the channel, the mysterious man's teasing words came, which brought a familiar feeling to Dr. Manhattan. Through the spaceship, he also saw the back of the young man confronting the Destroyer, which was so familiar. At the same time, the young man said to the Destroyer: "You dogs, relying on how much you have with me Similar genes have been chased here from Apocalypse all the way. Did you not scare you back then, or something? Now you are so arrogant? Although they have similar genes, humans and chimpanzees still have the same ancestor millions of years ago. I haven’t seen everyone living in peace in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, so, have you prepared your prayer before death?”
"Hey, hey, surnamed Ke, where are you talking so much, hurry up and get rid of them! I miss the barbecue in the base!" Impatient Shanna also urged the old acquaintance who came to the rescue through the microphone, Obviously, she has enough confidence in him being able to kill the Destroyer.
"Yes, yes, barbecue, no problem, tonight I will eat barbecue for you to clean up the dust, so you just stand there and watch carefully, mine, transform!"
During the speech, Dr. Manhattan also noticed that at his waist, a red gem appeared from his abdomen and was inlaid there. At the same time, he was in the transformation posture and shouted: "Transformation (Henshin)!"
