"Knights of the DC House ()" Find the latest chapter!

When Ke Wen took Lena and the members of the watchmen back to the earth again, all they saw was devastation. Civilization ceased to exist, including those he cared about. This year of killing each other, no superhero was spared, not even escaping from the earth. Because this zombie crisis of the anti-life equation clown poison caused by the Laughing Bat planted mines and Dakseid covered not only the earth.

The earth is an infected area, and Apocalypse located in the universe is another infected area. The rapid expansion of the two infected areas has brought the entire universe to the brink of destruction. Even Ke Wen entered the Phantom Zone with Lena and the members of the watchmen again, and survived by relying on the particularity of this zone.

Looking at the image projected by Ke Wen through the cosmic memory, Dr. Manhattan also fell silent. He suddenly felt that he had been holding on to Superman before, and it seemed too extreme. Compared with Superman, who has a similar fate to himself, who can give him an explanation, why the blackening of Batman as a mortal will directly lead to the great crisis of destroying the universe. There are seven fucking blackened Batmans, Directly changed a wave of extreme one-for-one.

Everyone is dead, and the legacy left behind will directly let the entire bright multiverse be buried with him. Compared with his operation of creating the world with one thought, and destroying the universe with one thought, this trick of blackening Batman has more connotations than him. Well, even Dr. Manhattan had to call himself an expert in this area. Give him a hundred tests, and he can't even guess that seven blackened Batmen can destroy the world. Is this reasonable!

But whether it made sense or not, he just happened. When Ke Wen returned to Earth with his comrades who came to DC Universe to find him, there was nothing he could do.

Rarely, Dr. Manhattan was also silent for a long time because of the act of blackening Batman and destroying the world, trying to slow down from the reality that has already happened, and confirm that he is not dreaming.

"So, how do you do, I mean, how do you bring two universes together."

After adjusting his emotions and breaking away from this unbearable memory, Ke Wen also replied there: "How to merge together? I didn't have this idea at first, even if they have told me that their universe is at stake , but in that timeline, you didn't exist, and I didn't know where to find you, so I just sat in front of the graves of my friends, lovers, and parents in a daze for a whole year, neither eating nor eating. drink like a stone.

Because I was thinking all the time, what should I do to bring them back to life, so that these dead people can come back to me again, so that I can make up for the missing regrets. Only at this time can I understand how ridiculous my rhetoric was. "

Speaking of this, the savior Ke Wen also laughed at himself. Regarding the self-deprecating self-deprecation of the savior Ke Wen, Dr. Manhattan did not accuse Ke Wen of being sanctimonious in this regard. The needle was not stuck in his body, and he didn't know what the pain felt like, especially now that his humanity had partially returned, looking back on everything he had experienced in the Watcher universe, he felt the same.

The so-called Cold War, the nuclear war of the Third World War, could actually be prevented from the very beginning, under the circumstances that he knew a long time ago, and he has this ability. The reason why he didn't do this was because he didn't want to. He didn't think that the emotions of these people had anything to do with him, but just felt that the ants were fighting each other, because even if the earth was destroyed, he would not be hurt.

But the moment he killed Rorschach, he understood that it was impossible for him to return to the previous state, unable to look at everything in front of him from a human perspective. There is only one choice left for him, and that is to leave. Until now, Dr. Manhattan once again put himself in a human perspective to look at the past. If he returns to the Watcher universe and sees a wasteland earth after a nuclear war, When everything he cares about and cares about is gone, in order to save it all, he can give everything!

And the savior Ke Wen was also rambling there.

"I have met Wally of the old 52 universe who was locked in the Speed ​​Force because of your intervention before. He was what I am now. He lost everything that the old universe had, and was born after your intervention. In the universe, he is like a lonely ghost, so in order to go back to the past time, he is also trying to restart again, until he is defeated by me, and chooses to sacrifice himself to fulfill me. That's what I told him at the time, Said that if I stood in his position, I would definitely stick to it.

But it turns out that I was wrong. I sat in front of their graves for a whole year. All gone. I was angry and desperate until I thought of a solution that wasn't the solution. "

"Fusion universe?"

Regarding the words of the savior Ke Wen, Dr. Manhattan also mentioned one of the most critical points. It is also everything on this timeline that he is in now. He is also curious about how Ke Wen managed to merge the universe.

"Don't be so curious, you can think of it yourself, this method is also the method you have seen. Remember the real universe you went to? You learned everything about Kamen Rider in that universe, Kamen Rider build The last few episodes of , my method is from these few episodes."

"Pandora's Box?"

When Ke Wenyi talked about the Kamen Rider build, Dr. Manhattan also realized that, after all, he also went to the real universe to chase after him, and watched the nineteen Heisei Kamen Rider dramas and one The derivative works of the series naturally know what Ke Wen means by this sentence. The inspiration for merging the universe also comes from the work of Kamen Rider build.

Because in the next ten years, starting from Kamen Rider W, the next ten years until Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, these eight knights have the same view of the universe, but different events happened in different cities. . But Kamen Rider build is not, it is a separate universe view, and only Kamen Rider build is derived, which is also the origin of the knight stalk, Sizai you lied to me · jpg.

Because in the theatrical version of "Heisei Generations", Kamen Rider Fourze said to Kamen Rider build from another parallel universe, no matter what kind of crisis happens, we will come from another universe to help you.

As a result, the build was hammered by the villain, the villainous knight Kamen Rider Evolt (Evolt), and became autistic. He was left alone, and he didn't see a knight partner to help. How can this make him not feel sad and indignant? He obviously went across the universe to help, but it turned out to be your turn, and the **** is not in the service area. This is a fucking human thing?

The joke is a joke, but Dr. Manhattan also understood how Ke Wen achieved the fusion of two different universes. Because in the work of Kamen Rider build, the biggest artifact is the object called Pandora's box. In the Kamen Rider build universe, this object comes from the extinct civilization, the hometown of extraterrestrial life Kamen Rider Evolt, and it is a real artifact in the build universe.

Whether it is the transformation of the energy bottle of the build, the transformation system of the knight, or the transformation of the various stages of the villainous knight Evolt, they all come from this artifact. It has only one function. By extracting the elements of the target planet to generate a transformation energy bottle, the huge power not only endows the user with the ability to transform, but also creates outer layers with different abilities and colors according to the characteristics of the extracted elements. Panels, some of these panels can generate new equipment, and some have huge energy themselves.

In the main drama, the white panel created by the protagonist group after experiencing the Heisei generation theater version and knowing that there is another parallel time and space is the key factor for them to finally defeat the big boss evil knight Evolt. Just to achieve this goal, all members of the protagonist group stopped cooking, but fortunately, everyone had a happy ending in the end, except the protagonist (angry)! It is also because of chasing and watching the drama that Dr. Manhattan also understands how Ke Wen operates.

Ke Wen also used his own knight system to redeem Pandora's Box, created a white panel with his own energy, and then locked the watcher universe born by Dr. Manhattan, and through the injection and activation of energy, the two universes were reintegrated got together.

"Yes, Pandora's Box, it seems that you understand, you are indeed a person who has been chased in the real world." When Dr. Manhattan mentioned Pandora's Box, the savior Ke Wen also joked there.

But Dr. Manhattan still shook his head.

"No, I don't understand. I understand the characteristics of this Pandora's Box, but it's not enough to explain that you can merge two universes. In other words, the fusion is just the result, but your process is not that simple."

"Yeah, it's not that simple. Fusing two universes with the earth as the main body, Pandora's box can do it, but merging a broken multiverse of light and a normal universe on the verge of nuclear war is to put the outer surface of Pandora's box. It’s impossible to make a skyscraper out of laminated panels, the quality and quantity of which are not at the same level. So, there is me.”

Regarding Dr. Manhattan's words, the savior Ke Wen nodded deeply, and said there, and at the same time pointed to himself, who exists as the savior of this future branch timeline.

"you?"

"Yeah, I know the boundaries of Pandora's Box very well. If I just rely on Pandora's Box, the box may have been blown up in the main universe. But at that time, I had lost all hope, and only this hope was left, so no matter what , I want to succeed. I kept oppressing myself and motivating my potential, which is ridiculous to say. When everything was over, I finally understood the source of my powerful strength, but it was too late.

So I poured all this power into the Pandora's Box, using the characteristics of the box, I took your friends, Lena, and traveled all over the 52 universes in the Bright Multiverse. In this 52 universes , by extracting the characteristics of the universe, 52 Pandora's boxes were created. Then use the power I poured in to combine these 52 Pandora's boxes into one. Of course, with the combination of these 52 boxes, naturally, the 52 broken multiverses of light will become one. "

The savior Ke Wen downplayed what he had done there, but Dr. Manhattan understood the helplessness and despair when Ke Wen took Lena through 52 universes and saw only ruins. What kind of mentality does he maintain in order to integrate these 52 universes into one.

"Why do you do that?"

"Because after the detonation of the Laughing Bat, the entire multiverse of light can be said to be abolished, but didn't I tell you before that where there is light, there is darkness. The dilapidated multiverse of light cannot maintain balance The inclination of the dark multiverse will put the entire universe in crisis, so the 52 universes merge into one to form a larger and stronger universe to maintain balance.

But this is not enough, even if I gather the remaining lives of 52 universes together, none of them have 1% of the vitality of a single universe before. Therefore, I need more life, more vitality, especially the earth. Before, your friend was also because of the universe you were born in, and the earth was on the brink of destruction at any time. Since I can’t find you, then It's just me. "

Speaking of which, Dr. Manhattan can also imagine that picture, and there is no need for Dr. Manhattan to imagine it. The savior Ke Wen directly appeared in the microcosm created by Dr. Manhattan, when the universe merged.

First, the 52 universes of the Bright Multiverse collide together under the pull of 52 Pandora's Boxes to form a new universe. Because of the relationship of belonging to the Bright Multiverse, there is not much difference between universes and universes. After the merger, fine-tuning was carried out, and there is basically no major problem. And because of the withering of life, the merger between the universes did not cause the same life forms of the universes to meet each other.

This is also the reason why the savior Ke Wen dared to do this, because the life of the bright multiverse poisoned by the legacy of the Laughing Bat has withered too badly. In the entire universe, this level of rarity cannot be divided even if a life is a galaxy lord. Under such circumstances, the dilapidated Bright Multiverse also gave birth to the first new universe, the No. 0 main universe, a main universe born from the combination of 52 dilapidated universes.

Immediately afterwards, Ke Wen also reproduced his operation of merging 52 universes again, relying on the advantages of this newborn Guangming No. 0 main universe, and strongly connected to the Watcher universe. The Watcher universe of Dr. Manhattan, at best, is more like the real universe, because in the Watcher universe, except for the birth of Dr. Manhattan, an existence that should not have been born, there is no difference from the official history of the real universe.

If there are so-called superheroes, they're nothing more than a bunch of vigilantes in uniform. Only after the birth of Dr. Manhattan, his super character and the country he lived in changed the historical trend of the 20th century. Because of the presence of Dr. Manhattan, the country he lives in is unscrupulous, because they can win everything. Because of Dr. Manhattan, the country that was supposed to disintegrate at the end of the 20th century also abandoned its previous revisionism and became a superpower again.

Because they know that once disintegrated, facing their opponents, they have no room to turn around. The existence of Dr. Manhattan can make their so-called efforts come to naught. Maybe there are extraterrestrial civilizations in the watcher universe, but no extraterrestrial civilization can resist Dr. Manhattan as a quantum god, but this is enough. A universe full of vitality is what Ke Wen needs most at this time.

Especially the earth as the center of the universe, everyone on it is a precious resource. The next thing is very simple. Originally, the war broke out at any time, and the watcher of the wasteland world, the universe earth, just watched another earth in the sky hit him. What a world war, what? Nuclear war, it became shit in an instant.

The merger has begun, because of the strength of the main universe of the new Guangming 0, the watcher universe has no ability to resist, including the people of the watcher universe earth, their nutrients from this earth are absorbed by the earth of the main universe of Guangming 0, even human beings The belt planet also sucked in the past together. At the same time, relying on the strength of the earth in the No. 0 main universe, it also reset the world history of the earth in the watcher universe.

The world history of the 20th century, which was revised due to the birth of Dr. Manhattan, has been revised, and naturally there will be no World War III that will break out at any time. In order to prevent this nuclear war, the pharaoh blamed Dr. Manhattan and created The Manhattan tragedy in New York no longer exists, and naturally the scene that Dr. Manhattan saw before appeared.

The newsstand owner and the prostitute who should have died in the tragedy survived and lived in the 21st century. Because of the main universe Earth of Newborn Bright 0 as the main body, there are naturally cities like Metropolis and Gotham, but because of the population and vitality absorbed from the Watcher universe, in addition to resetting the memory, and In addition to making up for some of the missing parts, the environment of the newborn No. 0 main universe earth is similar to that of the watcher universe earth.

Except for the known Doctor Manhattan, there are no real superheroes. The so-called superpowers are still urban legends that exist among cities and cannot be true.

That’s why Ke Wen, the savior, said that everyone is dead. This energetic new No. 0 main universe earth, even if the two earths merged, restored the once-disappeared Atlantis civilization and Paradise Island civilization. But on the earth of the watcher universe, both Paradise Island and Atlantis civilizations exist, but they belong to civilizations that have been extinct in official history and are myths and legends.

In the newly born No. 0 main universe Earth, Atlantis and Paradise Island civilization are known to the world, so it is only to make up for the lost population, and there are not many changes. The names are still those names, and the people are still those people, but they will never know Ke Wen and Lena, including the members of the watchmen. They saved the two universes, but they will disappear forever in people's memory.

People in the Watcher universe only know that in the early to mid-twentieth century, there was an active civil organization called the Watcher, who wore uniforms and upheld the concept of justice and was active in the streets and alleys. However, with the outbreak and end of World War II, it gradually disappeared. As for the real identities of these people in the watchman, no one knows, and over time, it has become a folklore.

As for Ke Wen, who saved the two universes, it is even simpler. People don’t remember the big collision of the universe before. Ke Wen, Lena, and his two children, just like most people in this world , just ordinary people. So Ke Wen, the savior, is just a joke between Ke Wen and several Watchmen members. Even his son doesn't bother to call himself father, even if he knows that his father really saved the entire universe.

Dr. Manhattan, who understands all the causes and consequences, also knows why Ke Wen said that those people are dead, because Krypton and Apocalypse do not exist in the watcher universe. Even if the universe merges, they only see similar people, not deja vu the origin.

Dr. Manhattan, who wanted to understand this, also looked at the savior Ke Wen and asked, "Do you regret it?"

"I regret it, but after staying in this new world for so long, I also understand my state at that time. I have no choice but to fight, even if I know that I can't do anything in the end. But it's good, at least I saved your place. The universe, too, sees another group of people who, even though they no longer have the identity I know, are doing well, so for now, I have no regrets."
