Superman of the American Comics

Chapter 419 Omniscient, Omnipotent
Decompose matter...

The Rorschach II vividly remembers watching a TV show where Dr. Manhattan reduced a tank to atomic dust.

At that time, the military vigorously promoted this human being who became a god because of an accident, and even uttered the classic saying——

"God exists, and he's American!"

But soon, he realized that something was wrong.

No soft blue light, no bald head, and clothed...

This doesn't fit Dr. Manhattan's image at all.

"I'm sorry, but you got the wrong person."

Luke shook his head. He was not the exhibitionist who liked to walk the birds.

After he gathered enough information, he began to search for the pharaoh's whereabouts.

From the second generation of Rorschach entering the cell of the police station, rescuing the marionette and the mime, and then entering the secret base of the sewer.

Luke took it all into his eyes and followed him all the way here.

After Dr. Manhattan left the Watcher universe, the only person in the world worth meeting in person is probably Adrian Witter.

If it's up to Luke to pick a suitable sidekick, it's to deal with a hot blue guy walking a bird on Mars.

Pharaoh is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

He knew Dr. Manhattan so well that he even discovered something that could be used from a "god" who had no weaknesses at all.

The increasingly disappearing humanity, the increasingly indifferent feelings... Adrian was the first person to notice this besides the comedian.

Dr. Manhattan once witnessed the comedian shoot a pregnant woman, he could stop it, but couldn't.

President Nixon offered him to go to war, he could have said no, but he didn't.

Because Dr. Manhattan can foresee the future, the time interval has no effect on him.

His thoughts can appear in the past and the future at the same time, like walking freely in an empty room.

Therefore, in Dr. Manhattan's view, everything that happened is a preordained trajectory.

He just observes, but doesn't take the initiative to intervene.

Pharaoh took advantage of this and accomplished his plan.

Even if Dr. Manhattan knew everything in the end, his absolutely calm and rational mind told him that Adrian was right.

Therefore, he chose to kill Rorschach who might lead to the outbreak of war and increase the variables.

But he let go of the pharaoh who caused a massacre and let himself be blamed.

Because in Dr. Manhattan's thinking, human anger, hatred, and contempt have no effect on themselves.

He just felt that the earth was too complicated and wanted to leave, and this was exactly what Adrian expected to see.

"who are you?"

The pharaoh's face was slightly dignified.

Luke showed a terrifying ability that was different from ordinary people.

This reminded him of Dr. Manhattan just like Rorschach II.

"Can't the smartest person in the world figure it out?"

Luke smiled. He used space teleportation to appear suddenly, and then disassembled the attacking screwdriver.

Through the performance ability, the pharaoh was initially shocked.

In this world, apart from Dr. Manhattan, there are no real superpowers.

The first batch of cross-dressing heroes consisted of a group of police officers with a strong sense of justice.

They found that the law alone cannot give those criminals the punishment they deserve, and the other party can still get away with it by hiring a lawyer or other methods.

As a result, the police put on masks and strange costumes after get off work, and punished the villains by themselves.

As the newspapers published the exposure, the gang of drag heroes aroused interest.

People like to talk about their behavior and clothing, and the police and government also give praise and encouragement.

In that era when law and order were relatively chaotic and weak, the appearance of heroes in disguise was what everyone wanted to see.

This group of people later formed a group called "Militia", and its members included "Captain of the Metropolis", "The First Night Owl", "Laughing Craftsman", "The First Silk Soul", "Black Silhouette", "One Hundred Dollar Bill" and so on. .

But their later fate was not so good.

Some were sent to nursing homes for drinking; some were shot by homophobic conservative groups; some became government agents and did dirty work; some retired and opened auto repair shops...

Of course, the most unlucky thing is the "hundred-dollar bill" that was caught by the revolving door and died under the gun of the gangster.

He once caused heated discussions among the group of cross-dressing heroes such as "whether the uniform should have a cape" and "whether the cape will affect the battle".

Later, after the disbandment of the militia, a new generation of characters appeared one after another, including Dr. Manhattan, Rorschach, Pharaoh, the second generation of Night Owl and the second generation of Silk Soul.

That's the evolution of the Overwatch universe's drag heroes, except for the blue guy, who's essentially a bunch of vigilantes with no superpowers.

The opponents he faced were only gang leaders, vicious gangsters, and murderers.

Unlike the superheroes in the studio next door, who can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, they are omnipotent.

"I don't know how to predict the future, how can I guess it."

Adrian kept smiling on the surface, but his brain was running at high speed, making various guesses.

Smart people always think a lot, the more they don't give an answer, the more they will make up their minds.

"Okay, who am I, where do I come from...these questions are not really important."

Luke held out his hands in a friendly gesture.

The criminal couple, the marionette and the mime took two steps back.

From this man, they felt a dangerous aura similar to that of Dr. Manhattan.

Anyway, they are all existences that cannot be provoked!
"The important thing is that I can help you and provide information about Dr. Manhattan."

Luke said with a smile.

This made the Pharaoh's pupils shrink, and he got some useful information from it.

"Have you met Joe?"

Adrian asked tentatively.

"I have seen."

Luke answered truthfully.

"where is it?"

Pharaoh asked next.

"Mars. Mars from another universe."

Luke said in a friendly tone, "Frankly speaking, I have a bit of a personal grudge with Dr. Manhattan."

"He gave me a one-way ticket to vacation, a gift I had to return."

Adrian's mouth twitched, sounding like an enemy.

To become an opponent with Dr. Manhattan and still be alive is a manifestation of strength.

At least as far as Pharaoh saw it, those guys who tried to attack and resist when Dr. Manhattan was fighting crime, they had only one end in the end.

That is, the flesh and blood exploded suddenly, turning into puddles of sticky tomato sauce.

Before Adrian designed the other party, he also made such preparations.

But Dr. Manhattan agreed with his point of view, did not do anything, but chose to leave alone.

"So, what are you going to do?"

The pharaoh restrained his thoughts and emotional fluctuations very well, and he understood the way to deal with such a strong person.

In one word, honesty.

The reason why he was able to secretly set up the next step plan without telling Dr. Manhattan.

It is because, in the usual chats or questions, he never lies.

Dr. Manhattan could detect abnormalities in the pharaoh's heartbeat, subtle changes in expression, or read thoughts at any time-even though the other party never did it.

But Adrian has to take this into consideration.

Every time he faced Dr. Manhattan, he used the honesty he showed, the art of language, and even hypnotized himself constantly, so that the other party did not notice the problem.

"I want to leave this universe."

Luke looked at Pharaoh, who claimed to be the smartest man in the world. His heartbeat was steady, his breathing was smooth, and he had a cautious expression on his face, but it was just a disguise.

In the head of the other party, there must be a plan of his own.

"Leave... the universe?"

Adrian hesitated for a moment.

"That's right, isn't this modified Night Owl airship the tool you prepared to track down Dr. Manhattan?"

Swish!
Lu Ke pulled off the dustproof cloth with his hands, and immediately created a choking cloud of dust, causing everyone else to cover their faces and cough.

"Am I wrong?"

Pharaoh shook his head. He had indeed made full preparations to find the "God" of the Watcher universe.

But these, why would the other party know?

For a moment, Adrian's thoughts were confused and he thought a lot.

"But before we leave, we still have some time to chat."

Luke, who was completely dominant, snapped his fingers lightly, and the marionettes and pantomime inside the base, as well as the second generation of Rorschach, were teleported out instantly.

In the messy space, only he and the Pharaoh were left.

"What are you talking about?"

Adrian held his breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Let's start with your non-existent cancer."

Luke flung the first chip lightly.

"...you know this too?"

The pharaoh's face finally changed, and he once again experienced the feeling of facing Dr. Manhattan.

Omniscient, Omnipotent!

There are no secrets at all!

Could it be said that the departure of one "God" made another "God" appear?
