Chapter 186
The Flashpoint in this universe can't happen. Better to die than lose a friend. Let's go cause trouble in the Arrowverse. Anyway, the Arrowverse will reboot in the end!
Of course, one must take things one step at a time. Planning for Doctor Manhattan's abilities is only a mid-term goal. The current goals are still [Doomsday's abilities], [other current abilities], [Anti-Life Equation], and [the Seven Lantern Corps' abilities].
However, some things can be verified first, or it's better to plan ahead.
With a thought, Su Quan activated the Dimensional Teleportation abilities of the Impossible Man, the Magik, and the Night Shadow.
In an instant, he disappeared.
He reappeared a few seconds later.
Then, it disappeared again.
Then, it appeared again.
The intervals kept changing, sometimes lasting only a few seconds, sometimes more than ten minutes, and even the longest one lasted two hours.
This was repeated countless times until, finally, exhausted and visibly weakened, Su Quan stopped and let out a long sigh with a strange expression.
"You were indeed avoiding me!"
Su Quan traversed back and forth between the Justice League Universe and the Watchmen Universe countless times, trying out countless possibilities.
For example, he time-traveled at the exact 'plot time' when Doctor Manhattan should exist. Everything was fine when he traveled, but once he arrived in the Watchmen Universe, it was guaranteed to be a point in time before Doctor Manhattan was even born!
Or perhaps it's the time when Doctor Manhattan had already left!
He wanted to travel precisely through the Watchmen Universe at a specific point in time, but he would be interfered with and altered after traveling through time, but he would be unaffected when traveling back.
On one occasion, Su Quan, in a fit of rage, killed Jonathan Osterman before he became the Doctor Manhattan!
Then travel through time again!
Jonathan Osterman is indeed dead, and under normal circumstances, Doctor Manhattan would not have been born.
However, time-related interference still exists!
Because Doctor Manhattan has transcended the timeline and is immune to causality, even if Jonathan Osterman in this timeline dies, it will not affect Doctor Manhattan. He has jumped out of the timeline and is no longer subject to the Five Elements, so he cannot be affected in any way!
This test proves two things.
First, when I went to take away the Silk II last time, Doctor Manhattan was indeed deliberately avoiding me and directly changed the time point of my time travel. However, at that time, I was not able to accurately travel to the time point and thought that the time point was random!
Second, Doctor Manhattan already knows that he is looking for him. He should also know that his spying on him has been discovered and his identity has been confirmed, but he still has not shown up.
"This is a bit tricky—it seems like the only option is to follow the big events." Su Quan muttered regretfully.
The current situation is that I can't find him, and he doesn't dare or want to show himself in front of me.
He can't see him, but he can see him, but that's all he can see; he can't see anything specific.
Tsk, compared to this, I'm at a bit of a disadvantage. But don't worry, I'll catch you sooner or later. When that happens, your abilities will be mine, and my abilities will still be mine!
P. S.: My previous impression of Doctor Manhattan was based on the movies. He is strong, but the world of American comics is full of strong characters, so I didn't think he was the top-tier kind of awesome.
I've been researching these past few days, and through events like DC Rebirth, Doomsday Clock, and Death Metal, I've gained a deeper understanding. It's truly amazing! (Voice cracks)
The next day, early morning.
Gotham City, Arkham Asylum.
Su Quan sipped the coffee prepared by June Moone, thinking about Lois Lane, who was fast asleep in the bedroom.
Clark Kent and the Birds of Prey's battle against General Zod and other Kryptonians has been compiled and posted on the Daily Planet.
This is absolutely headline news!
Although the Pentagon announced early on that it had defeated the aliens and protected the Earth, the lack of inside information meant that while it was something to be happy about for ordinary people, it didn't resonate with them deeply.
All they knew was that the alien was General Zod, who had come to find a member of their alien race hiding on Earth; they knew nothing else!
Only after the news about Lois Lane broke did the public realize what had really happened!
The news report not only features both text and images but also includes detailed descriptions, generally divided into three parts.
The first part introduces General Zod's identity, Krypton, and their purpose in coming to Earth.
For example, General Zod and the person he was looking for both came from a planet called Krypton in the Andromeda Galaxy. However, Krypton has now been destroyed. General Zod was originally a criminal from Krypton and came to Earth with the intention of turning Earth into a second Krypton!
The second part introduces Clark Kent, who has always lived on Earth; of course, his true identity is kept secret.
Moreover, he is Su Quan's person. Although he is also Kryptonians, he is Kryptonians living on Earth and calls her "aunt." Lois Lane's inclination is self-evident.
General Zod is a bad Kryptonians, and Clark Kent is a good Kryptonians!
The third part introduces Arkham Asylum and the Birds of Prey). The number of news images showing the Birds of Prey battling and defeating the Kryptonians is no less than that of General Zod and Clark Kent.
After finishing her news work, Lois Lane finally found Su Quan to fulfill her promise, or rather, to get a chance to interview the Kryptonians later.
Clark Kent was his man, and they followed his lead. The few surviving Kryptonians were also imprisoned in Arkham Asylum.
If Su Quan doesn't speak, it's difficult to even see them, let alone interview them.
Then, Su Quan brought Lois Lane to Arkham Asylum, and then—weeds grew around the house outside the gate, while a clear spring nourished the dragon inside.
Those who know, know!
The only thing that surprised Su Quan was that Lois Lane said no, but her body was perfectly normal.
Yeah, a typical United States girl!
In this respect, June Moone and Poison Ivy are the same!
In addition, it is worth mentioning that, perhaps due to the unequal status of their status, or perhaps due to social norms and perceptions, as long as Su Quan has not officially confirmed his romantic partner, such as formally dating someone and confirming a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, no one will accuse him of being unfaithful in his relationship!
To put it bluntly, as long as there is no official partner, no one will accuse Aquaman of being unfaithful in relationships. No matter how many men he keeps, at most he will be accused of having bad character.
However, if the person being accused is strong and wealthy enough, the accusation of being a bad person may not even be valid!
So Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and June Moone were in the same team but didn't have any conflicts because of this. In fact, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy were very close!
The concept of a "battleground" simply doesn't exist!
At least for Su Quan, it doesn't exist!
As for what will happen when Su Quan really wants to define the relationship? Haha, don't joke around. His motto in life is to love everything in the world, with no favorite and no exceptions!
To put it bluntly, he likes all pretty girls, but he has no intention of staying with one person until death!
To put it bluntly, when you're in a position where the universe and the Multiverse can be frequently restarted, it's really hard to value those romantic relationships anymore.
Even if you love each other deeply, if the universe restarts, she might not even remember who you are.
Only strength is fundamental. When you are strong enough, you can get what you want and pursue what you desire.
There's a saying, isn't there?
With no woman in my heart, my sword moves with divine grace; the first page of the sword manual tells me to forget my beloved!
Like the masses, many people are so busy every day that they can't even support themselves. How many would give up their jobs for a relationship?
Feelings can be rekindled, but a good job is gone forever – that's the truth of life!
After finishing his coffee, Su Quan instructed June Moone to arrange for Lois Lane to interview Faora once she woke up.
Then, he went to the Central City!
He wanted to meet with Barry Allen, the Flash, partly to obtain the Speed Force, and partly to completely eliminate the possibility of him triggering the Flashpoint!
If it weren't for the Doctor Manhattan incident, Su Quan wouldn't care whether he went back in time to save his mother or whether he triggered the Flashpoint. As long as he made some preparations, he wouldn't be affected!
That won't work now.
The Flashpoint in this universe absolutely cannot happen, at least not before Doctor Manhattan's event!
Central City, Police Department Evidence Technology Division.
Barry Allen, with his square, youthful face, was engrossed in his work, his head buried in his desk.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he raised his head.
"You—" Barry Allen was startled and stared blankly at the man who had suddenly appeared after getting up.
"I know you!"
"It's in the newspapers, there's a report about you in the newspapers. You were there during the Kryptonians war. You're the owner of Arkham Asylum and Birds of Prey!"
Barry Allen was gesturing wildly, a little excited and a little goofy.
Su Quan nodded. "It's me!"
Barry Allen asked excitedly and curiously, "The Birds of Prey all have superpowers, you must have one too, right? What's your superpower?"
Su Quan thought for a moment, then chuckled, "Rich!"
Is your superpower being money?
Barry Allen chuckled awkwardly, assuming Su Quan was just being sarcastic and didn't want to talk about it.
That's normal. Superpowers are something you have to keep hidden. Even if you openly display them, you can't just tell everyone if they ask.
You don't believe me?
