Superman of the American Comics

Chapter 486 Infinite Earth, Save Everything

"What about people?"

Batman looked around, but Doctor Manhattan and the tall man were no longer in his eyes.

"What happened?"

Shazam rubbed his head, and the terrible shock wave directly sent him flying.

That blue man is terrible!

Even recognized as the most powerful superhero on the planet.

The lighthouse on earth, the son of Krypton.

He also has weaknesses.

Like kryptonite, like magic, like... kindness.

But the strength shown by Dr. Manhattan almost makes people despair.

The Justice League has never faced an enemy like him.

No flaws, no loopholes, almost invincible.

"Was that Carl just now?"

Supergirl asked hesitantly.

She saw a raised dark red cloak, and the fiery rays from the eyes.

It reminded Kara of Superman.

"The Superman I know is not so violent."

Batman shook his head.

Just now that person appeared, the wave of killing intent swept across Mars.

That's not something Superman can do.

"Hal, are you alright?"

Barry, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw that the battle was over, he quickly helped his good friend up, and said:
"Luke, his name is Luke Cavill, and he's also a Kryptonian."

"Maybe you don't know him, but Luke once helped me to prevent the crisis of the destruction of the universe!"

"He is likely to be deleted from the timeline by that blue man just like Wally!"

"Only me, and Diana might remember something!"

Hearing what Flash said, Batman's eyes suddenly became sharp.

As always, he keenly captured the key words.

Kryptonians!
Another mighty Kryptonian!
How many Kryptonians are there in this universe?

Batman feels that the destruction of Krypton is simply a lie.

From General Zod to Supergirl Kara.

There's also Hale, the super Kryptonian, and Brainiac's Kandor, the city in a bottle.

It seems that every once in a while a Kryptonian, or a group of Kryptonians pops up!

Batman has a headache and even a little bit of blood pressure rising.

The increase in Kryptonians means that there are also more targets to be monitored and those to be vigilant about.

It's a tiring job!
"Flash, can you say a little more about... Luke?"

Batman sighed deeply, then asked in a hoarse voice.

"Luke? He..."

Facing the brain of the Justice League, Barry behaved very well, like a student who was called to the office by the dean.

He told everything he had seen and heard about the Marvel studio.

It's not a secret to hide either.

"Another multiverse?"

Batman finally couldn't keep his indifferent tone, showing a trace of surprise.

He looked at the empty battlefield, worry appeared in his deep eyes.

……

……

If you turn the hour hand back to 3 minutes ago.

Superheroes on Mars will be able to see such a scene.

The tall man looked like a volcanic eruption, and his fiery eyes burst out with light.

The dark red cloak was raised high, and the hard fist waved, instantly breaking through the dimension of time and space.

Time is like a complex line curled backwards, while space becomes a thin sheet of folded and twisted paper.

The matter is annihilated, shattered, and then a vacuum of nothingness is formed!

The only thing that can remain intact is the quantum body of the blue man.

The waves of blue light energy roared like waves, but they all disappeared in front of Superman's iron fist.

Boom!
Silent bang!
The entire multiverse shook!

The seemingly slow process actually does not exceed the Planck time.

Superman's fist hit Dr. Manhattan's head hard.

The non-material and non-energy quantum body is like a watermelon pierced by a bullet.

It burst into pieces and turned into nothing!
Thick darkness enveloped Dr. Manhattan.

This is the future he saw, the ending he saw.

I died!
"I see."

Dr. Manhattan suddenly realized.

For the first time since possessing a quantum body, he felt the threat of death so clearly.

Superman's iron fist seemed to contain some kind of power, stubbornly preventing the body from reorganizing.

die?

Dr. Manhattan sensed an aura similar to divine power.

If a more appropriate term is used, it may be "rules", "authority".

His consciousness drifted in the sea of ​​quantum, trying hard to control matter, control particles, and restore that body.

After becoming Dr. Manhattan, he will not age and will not die.

Pain, weakness, fear...these most basic human feelings have been forgotten.

Even Pharaoh Adrian tried to kill himself with the energy of the intrinsic field generator that time.

Dr. Manhattan felt no danger either.

But this time is different.

The opponent is a superman who also comes from another universe.

The strength is so strong that it is somewhat beyond common sense.

"If you can't reorganize your body from the current timeline, then go to another..."

Dr. Manhattan decides to follow the twisted timeline to avoid Superman's next attack.

His mind is beyond time and space, the possibility of infinite quantum changes.

So it exists on all timelines, at all points in time.

"You think so well, Doctor!"

Luke took a step forward and rushed into the curled, broken space-time first.

The biological force field is fully expanded, with a silver superman template capable of dragging a galaxy, he easily enveloped this piece of time and space, and brought it to another timeline.

The Justice League world changed by Superman's cousin!
……

……

Another timeline.

After Luke left, Superman stepped out of small town Kansas to become the hopeful child of Metropolis.

Lex Luthor took over Wharton.

Everyone has a bright future.

Subsequently, Superman met Batman, fell in love with each other and killed each other.

And Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Cyborg, Aquaman...

Form a team together and form a group.

The Justice League followed, and a bigger villain followed.

The Dark Lord from Apocalypse, Darkseid looked at this blue planet.

Everyone goes through crises, some heroes sacrifice themselves, and some heroes save the world.

Many villains and the Justice League staged the story of the police catching the thief.

Such a cyclical routine is constantly being staged.

Until the arrival of Crisis on Infinite Earths!
……

……

In less than a second, Dr. Manhattan's quantum body reorganization was completed.

But when he opened his eyes, what he saw was darkness.

The multiverse keeps crumbling, falling apart.

Like a furnace that is burning out and about to go out.

Earth after planet was engulfed, destroyed, and trillions of lives died.

"This is?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Dr. Manhattan's indifferent eyes.

What time did you come to?

Before he could figure it out, Superman's fist had traveled across time and space.

Accompanying it was Luke's deep voice——

"This is Crisis on Infinite Earths! This is the day of the restart of the multiverse, the day of the demise of the parallel world!"

Boom!
The hard fist shattered Dr. Manhattan's quantum body again, turning his consciousness into darkness.

Luke stands firmly in this time and space, and he can feel that the multiverse is gradually collapsing and is about to be swallowed by an extremely terrifying force.

The stars trembled, and all things wailed.

It's like the end of the universe.

"Crisis on Infinite Earths has begun."

Luke thought to himself.

The source of all this happened tens of billions of years ago.

The immortals of the Martus planet formed an extremely high-level ultra-ancient civilization.

Among them is Calona, ​​a scientist with twisted desires.

Despite the opposition of his compatriots, this person insisted on exploring the forbidden secrets-the origin of life and the universe.

Kalonna's pursuit of knowledge led to a cataclysm affecting the multiverse.

Thus was born the antimatter universe—a complex world that is the polar opposite of the matter universe.

Its existence also caused the positive material universe to begin to split, creating the concept of "parallel universes".

In order to deal with the crisis, the immortals of the Martus planet researched and utilized the power of the emotional spectrum and established the Green Lantern Corps.

Then, other Lantern Corps were born.

This is an ancient legend recorded in the Book of Oa.

Luke not only knows this secret, he also knows the guardian in the positive material universe, named "Monitor".

The guardian of the antimatter universe is called the "Anti-Monitor".

The Anti-Monitor has always wanted to devour the positive matter universe, thereby weakening the power of the Monitor and making itself the only existence.

Now, his wish is about to come true.

Millions of parallel universes are being swallowed and destroyed.

The power of the Anti-Monitor has reached its peak, standing at the apex of the multiverse.

As long as he uses the anti-matter cannon again, he will destroy all parallel universes in one fell swoop and devour this unimaginable terrifying energy.

The Anti-Monitor, then, is likely to open the door to the Omniverse.

You know, after the outbreak of the crisis on infinite earth.

Even the Apocalypse Lord Darkseid, under the pressure of survival, cooperates with the Justice League.

It can be seen how powerful the anti-surveillance is at this time.

Luke uses super vision to have a panoramic view of the destruction of the entire multiverse.

He saw superheroes from various parallel universes trying to resist, but facing the extremely powerful Anti-Monitor, they couldn't do any harm at all.

"Solve the trouble for my little cousin, and get the anti-life equation by the way."

Luke thought lightly.

The reason the Anti-Monitor is so powerful is mostly because of that horrible equation.

Loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth ÷ ridicule ÷ condemnation ÷ misunderstanding x guilt x shame x failure x judgment = hope = stupidity, love = lie, life = death, self = dark side

It is said that this anti-life equation is a very high-level power of rules.

It can swallow any matter and manipulate any life.

It is the most dangerous weapon in the multiverse, and once in possession, it can manipulate others at will, influence their minds, and subjugate them to the user of the equation.

Even multiverse-level existences cannot be defied.

Darkseid has always wanted to be the Dark Lord of Apocalypse.

The Anti-Monitor holding the Anti-Life Equation is the most powerful stage in his life.

Not even the specter who incarnates the wrath of God can judge.

Of course, the scenery is limited to this story.

In several major events since then, the anti-monitor who lost the anti-life equation was captured by the Black Death Emperor and made into the total energy of the Black Lantern Corps.

The force dropped again and again, and even Dr. Manhattan could easily headshot him.

The dark red cloak fluttered slightly.

next moment.

Luke's figure appeared in the antimatter universe.

at this time.

Superheroes are exhausted.

The voice of the Anti-Monitor shakes the universe—

"Today is the day of the end of the physical universe! Your world will die, just like those who tried to stop me! Hear the death knell? That will be the last sound you will hear!"

Superman clutched his head in pain. He heard the pleadings, prayers and panics of the multiverse, and saw the terrible sight of planets burning, releasing light and heat, and finally returning to nothingness.

"I want to save..."

The majestic heat sight hit the anti-monitor's armor, but it didn't even leave a scar.

"You can't save anything, Superman."

The huge figure standing in the antimatter universe stepped down, and the terrifying force shattered the celestial body.

The energy shields propped up by many superheroes burst instantly.

"I will let you witness with your own eyes how your own world is destroyed!"

The Anti-Monitor roared, ready to fire the anti-matter cannon.

The Flash struggled to his feet. He wanted to sacrifice himself to destroy this terrible weapon that destroyed the cannon of positive matter.

As long as you use the speed force, you can do it!

"This time, you don't need to sacrifice to heaven."

Luke appeared before the Justice League.

Exhausted and exhausted, Superman saw the dark red cape.

The memory hidden in my heart was awakened immediately, and various pictures came like a flood.

"Big cousin..."

In the end, all memories turned into a call.

"give it to me."

Luke didn't look back, but took a step forward.

The fluttering cloak seems to cover the entire multiverse.

The tall and straight figure is like a huge celestial body, lying in the sight of everyone.

"You are……"

The Anti-Monitor didn't even finish his sentence, and he punched him.

The former is at the most satisfying and peak moment in his life, how can he endure such a provocation.

The power of the anti-life equation turned into a dazzling light shining on the multiverse, shrouding it, intending to corrupt and control Luke.

But the tenth metal in the latter's body erupted into a bright silver light, which belonged to the original power of the universe, and stubbornly resisted the severe erosion of the anti-life equation.

Luke squeezed his palm hard, and a star-like celestial body shrunk into a ball. He pinched it and smashed it hard on the anti-monitor's armor.

The matter-anti-matter universe that is about to collide seems to be run over by a thunderbolt.

Every creature in the parallel universe can feel a terrible breath sweeping over.

The Anti-Monitor is down!

The anti-life energy that devours many parallel universes, facing that tall man with an indifferent face, doesn't seem to be enough to give him a sense of security.

The anti-surveillance has fear in its heart, which has never been experienced in tens of billions of years.

"It's not just the end of the multiverse, it's your end."

Luke said calmly.

He looked down at the fallen Anti-Monitor and stomped down hard.

……

……

"The timeline of the past has actually been occupied by Superman."

Dr. Manhattan's consciousness is still there, and he witnessed how Luke killed the creature in the armor.

The anti-life energy spilled out and was directly absorbed by Superman.

"The future! Go to the future, and Superman won't be able to find me!"

Dr. Manhattan forced himself to break away from this time point and go to a more distant future time and space.

After his body reorganized, he opened his eyes.

This time, there is no Superman's iron fist strike.

But Dr. Manhattan heard bursts of horrific, maniacal laughter.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--

That laughter was as sharp as a night owl, and as crazy as a lunatic.

Just listening to it makes people feel chills and faintly tremble.

"Which timeline is this?"

Dr. Manhattan is walking on a desolate planet, his sight can only see the result clearly, but he cannot understand the process.

However, the blue man soon knew the answer.

A slender black shadow like a bat envelopes the multiverse.

Confronting him was another woman.

That is the mother of the multiverse, Papetua.

She is the omnipotent god standing in the sixth dimension, and the existence that creates everything.

The "World Founder" who created the Dark Multiverse, the "Monitor" and the "Anti-Monitor" killed by Luke are the three sons of Papetua.

This almighty cosmic goddess of creation was originally sealed in the wall of origin by her son.

But later, the wall of origin shattered.

Under the design of the Laughing Bat, Papetua was successfully unsealed.

The Laughing Bat comes from Earth 22 in the dark multiverse, and he is also one of the many Batmen.

One day, he was infected with the virus because he killed a clown.

Batman and the Joker, two sides of the same coin, merged into one.

Transformed into the Bat Who Laughs, he plots to kill Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, and Batgirl, and wipe out his Bat-family.

And transformed his son Damian into a beast-like Laughing Robin with the clown virus.

After committing all these insane and criminal acts, the Laughing Bat took the Justice League to his knees.

It was a bloody and brutal story.

In the end, after killing all the objects that can be violent, the Laughing Bat is ready to destroy his own world.

Unexpectedly, Barbatos happened to be spotted by Barbatos, recruited to join the Dark Knights, and became one of the seven Nightmare Batmen.

Today's Laughing Bat has become the most powerful existence in the multiverse through countless conspiracies and plans, as well as the "everything is within my expectations" cheat.

Only to defeat the power has not yet recovered, deep in the weakened creation goddess Papetua.

The Laughing Bat can take over the multiverse, creating and destroying worlds as he pleases.

"Soon the Laughing Bat will kill Papetua, and when she's dead, he'll use our fears to create a Nightmare Multiverse — where we have no place."

The discussion of the Justice League came to Dr. Manhattan's ears from a long distance away.

"Another multiverse that is about to fall into extinction, waiting to be restarted again! The future is like this!"

Quantum life has no emotions, but Dr. Manhattan still feels sad.

It turns out that it is neither the past nor the future.

The fate of the multiverse is so dark.

"Perhaps, the countless changes of Superman are part of the restart of the multiverse."

Dr. Manhattan suddenly raised his head and looked at the two illusory projections standing in a higher dimension and filling the multiverse.

The Laughing Bat, Papetua.

"It's like a story that's been edited and edited, and we're all characters in the book, so we can't get out of the box."

Doctor Manhattan seems to have figured out where the mysterious force that makes Superman's stories different each time comes from.

That is the world above the Goddess of Creation.

The greatest secret hidden in the depths of the omnipotent universe.

"You already knew that, didn't you?"

Dr. Manhattan turned his head and looked at the tall man who crossed time and space and chased him again.

"Yes."

Luke, who has the template of the Supreme Superman, has fixed eyes, looking at a place of nothingness.

It's like a host facing the camera, or an actor filming a movie.

"Every restart of the multiverse is the end of a story."

Luke seemed to be explaining, but also seemed to be reading some kind of narration.

"The popular superheroes and villains are retained, and more details and settings are added to start a new life."

"Unpopular characters are gradually marginalized, reduced to background boards, and no longer appear."

"Doctor, this is the truth of the multiverse."

"Everyone is a puppet on a thread, and they don't even have the memory of being deleted or restarted every time."

Dr. Manhattan is silent. He calls himself a quantum observer.

From the perspective of overlooking, observe the changes of all things and the world.

As everyone knows, there are other creatures at higher latitudes that are also doing similar things in a similar way to themselves.

"how do you want to do it?"

Dr. Manhattan asked.

All the grievances seem so insignificant in the face of the big event of the demise and restart of the multiverse.

Since the end of fate is dark, then Superman must do something to prevent this bad ending.

"Shut up that guy who's laughing so badly, and... take over the multiverse instead of Papetua."

Luke said lightly.

"Where did you get your confidence?"

Dr. Manhattan was puzzled.

Luke is at best multiverse level, facing the equally powerful Laughing Bat, and Papetua who was once an almighty universe level, he has no chance of winning at all.

The original power of the tenth metal, part of the power of death, the "fourth wall" ability of the Supreme Superman, the powerful body of the Silver Superman...

Even if everything is combined, it is impossible to defeat the two powerful enemies of the Laughing Bat and Papetua.

"I may almost mean it by myself, but with you, it may be different."

Luke said with a smile.

"Aren't we enemies?"

Dr. Manhattan was even more puzzled.

He seems unable to use the logic of human behavior to analyze the other party.

"You exile me once, I kill you twice, it's even."

Luke waved his hand very grandly, and said in a bewitching tone: "Don't you want to see this multiverse perish? Then you can only go back to the Watcher universe, face Pharaoh Adrian, and That peaceful and dull life."

"Staying here, you can witness all kinds of wonderful stories."

For the first time, Dr. Manhattan showed a human look, with a gleam in his eyes.

He was moved.

"Apart from these, what else can you give me?"

Dr. Manhattan asked directly.

"a job."

Luke snapped his fingers.

He didn't pay attention to the Laughing Bat and Papetua who were fighting fiercely.

Even without the help of Dr. Manhattan, through the influence of downstream time, I will definitely be able to unite superheroes to defeat each other in the end.

This is the destined ending of the story.

And what Luke wants is to adjust it a little bit and add his own role.

Lost existences such as the World Forger, the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor, and Papetua, the Goddess of Creation.

This multiverse is effectively without a manager, leaving many positions waiting to be filled.

"I have a way to ignite the melting pot of the world. If I can defeat those two guys, then I need a caster, an observer, and a maintainer of order."

Looking at Dr. Manhattan, Luke gives his reward.

"Which one do you want to be? Or, are you interested in all three jobs?"

Dr. Manhattan did not speak, thinking quietly.

Above the higher dimension, the battle between the Laughing Bat and Papetua became more intense.

So far, the former has the upper hand.

Hahahahaha-

That horrifying, crazy laughter echoed in every corner of the multiverse.

"Which one are you going to let me deal with?"

A moment later, Dr. Manhattan asked.

For a quantum life without normal biological emotional needs, there is indeed nothing more tempting than observing the multiverse in all directions.

Besides, he is also very curious, what is behind the Almighty Universe?
"How is Papetua?"

Luke looked up at the slender shadow.

"I hate that guy's laughter. It's too harsh and ugly. I want to beat him up myself."

Dr. Manhattan nodded, and a burst of blue light dissipated, moving to the sixth dimension.

And Luke also disappeared, appearing in front of the Laughing Bat.

"A new face? Kryptonian? Superman? Need I tell you the story of me slaughtering everyone in Metropolis?"

The Laughing Bat, who has reached the apex of the multiverse, is not surprised to see Luke.

After all, everything was within his expectations.

He instantly learned everything about this new face from the past timeline.

Cousin Superman?
Ever built a Wharton company?
Lex Luthor's godfather?
All kinds of information poured into the head of the Laughing Bat, and he mocked and laughed in a tone that sees through everything: "No matter where you come from, no matter how strong you are, Kryptonians will never be able to defeat 'Batman', this is the iron law .”

"Hahahahahaha, being able to kill another Superman is too satisfying for my evil taste!"

Luke just listened quietly, waiting until the Laughing Bat let out that horrifying and crazy laugh again.

He clenched his fist, strode forward, and swung it vigorously!
This is a blow with all its might!
Many superman templates are integrated into one, bursting out unparalleled horror power!
The barrier of the sixth dimension was directly penetrated by Luke's fist.

The multiverse, which is turning into nothingness and darkness, seems to have a strong light blasting past, illuminating everything.

The slender figure of the Laughing Bat distorted like a melting candle.

Slamming hard on the shattered wall of origin.

Then, he heard an indifferent voice from above——

"Keep laughing!"
