Chapter 408
"The Comedian probably doesn't know either..." Su Quan grasped Laura's hand in return, thought for a moment, and explained, "He's not as righteous as you think. There are many heroes in that organization, including your mother, but he's definitely not one of them!"
"So, the only reason for this outcome is... your mother did not consent!"
If it wasn't voluntary, then it must be...
Laura's face turned ashen, and she angrily cursed, "That bastard!"
The next day, early morning.
A torrential downpour began, the raindrops cascading down the earth like a torrent, relentlessly falling on rooftops, windows, and pedestrians' umbrellas, creating a variety of sounds, like the collaboration of different musical instruments—novel and beautiful.
It's something to yearn for, something to be captivated by...
Laura propped herself up on her arms, leaning against the wall, and looked at the man beside her who had just woken up.
Su Quan stretched his back, rested his head on his hands, and smiled as he struck a pose like Laura, saying, "Good morning."
"Morning."
Laura smiled and asked with a smile, "Do you remember what you promised me last night?"
When I was 'comforting' you last night, I promised you a lot of things, like prioritizing things...
Which question are you asking?
"You promised me you would bring out my mother... my mother before I was born!" Laura blurted out before Su Quan could answer.
"About this..." Su Quan vaguely remembered that Laura had indeed mentioned it, and he had indeed agreed.
Only...
"You still don't have a clear understanding of me. Are you sure you want me to bring your mother here? Or your ex-wife before you came along?"
"I'm sure!"
Laura said with certainty, "Looking back now, my mother was not happy at all. Every time the Comedian came, my mother was forcing a smile. Every appearance of his, every piece of news about him, would force my mother to think of that incident, making her live in pain forever."
"Although this is an unchangeable past, the world restarts, the past is the future, and everything will repeat itself. I cannot bear to watch her go through that pain again and repeat her tragic life forever!"
Su Quan said noncommittally, "Your world is different from others. Doctor Manhattan is determined to save your world, and it will definitely be restarted in the near future! It was easy for me to bring your mother out, but she will be like you, never to return."
"The outside world is more exciting than her original life. She is my mother, I know her, and I know what she will choose."
"And..."
"From childhood to adulthood, my life has been arranged by her. She has been good to me, and I have been good to her in return. Is it really impossible to accept the same thing just because our roles are different?"
How many parents, in the name of love, control and arrange their children's lives?
Su Quan didn't know how to evaluate Laura's point of view, nor did he intend to.
Do not advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering yourself, for even if you experience their suffering, you may not necessarily do good yourself.
For him, all he needed to know was that Laura was now one of his own.
"Call out--"
The swift and decisive Su Quan sensed the Watchmen Universe, located Laura's mother, and directly Manipulate Space-Time Dimensions to establish a Dimensional Teleportation Portal connecting the two worlds.
On the other side of the door was a room with a vintage feel, which looked like a bedroom. Sally Jupiter, dressed in a uniform, stood in front of the dressing table, looking at them in disbelief.
"Mother... Mother!" Looking at the familiar face, Laura's longing burst forth uncontrollably.
First, another room appeared in my room, with a man and a woman who looked like they had just gotten up. Then, the woman who looked to be about my age called me "mother".
Sally Jupiter on the other side was completely dumbfounded!
"What... what's going on? Who are you people? Why... why are you calling me Mother?" Sally Jupiter asked, bewildered.
Laura glanced meaningfully at Su Quan, and seeing him nod in agreement, she got up, put on her clothes, and walked over.
Sally Jupiter took a few steps back warily, extremely vigilant, but she was soon taken aback by what Laura said.
She... she really is my daughter? So many things happened in the future?
Besides...
Someone can actually travel through time and space? Someone can restart the universe? This is too incredible, too unbelievable!
"That the Comedian, actually did this to me?! I... I'm going to settle the score with him!"
When Sally Jupiter heard that her daughter's father was the Comedian she now idolized, and that he had conceived her daughter in that way, she felt as if her idol had collapsed, followed by boundless anger!
"This world will restart, everything will repeat itself. Are you willing to jump out with me, follow the master, and start a brand new life?"
Laura stepped into the Teleportation Portal, turned around, and looked at her young mother.
Sally Jupiter hesitated for only a few seconds before rushing over...
Nobody likes their fate to be predetermined, endlessly repeating, and endlessly cycling!
Moreover, her ability to transform from a waitress and actress into a superhero is enough to prove that she has a strong adventurous spirit. Now that she has encountered such an adventure, she is naturally willing to take risks and face the unknown!
"Call out--"
As Sally Jupiter stepped forward, the Teleportation Portal behind her abruptly disappeared.
Facing her future daughter, the mysterious Lord of the Void, and all that was unknown, she felt both apprehensive and expectant.
"Your clothes..." Su Quan, who had already washed up and dressed, looked at Sally Jupiter's attire and hesitated before speaking.
Sally Jupiter asked nervously, "Yes, is there a problem? This is my uniform. I'm a member of the Minutemen. The Minutemen is a group of heroes..."
"Mother, the master already knows all of this," Laura reminded her.
Sally Jupiter nodded, without going into further details.
"Every hero should have a distinctive and eye-catching uniform to represent themselves, no problem! It's just that your uniform, apart from being good-looking, is utterly useless!"
"Yours is the same!"
Su Quan brought Laura along as well.
"Do your uniforms offer any protection? Are they bulletproof? Can they withstand attacks?"
"Cannot!"
"Besides being aesthetically pleasing, their only function is to attract the enemy's attention!"
Sally Jupiter admitted she was right, but she disagreed. "Even the latest bulletproof vests are not very effective and are not suitable for use as uniforms in combat against enemies."
This is the limitation of the times. Sally Jupiter lived in the post- World War II era, when the level of technology, social atmosphere, and way of thinking were very different from today!
Su Quan waved his hand, and a string of brand-new Void Battle Bead appeared out of thin air and landed in his palm.
Incidentally, this is a small ability, or rather a trick, that he developed some time ago at the sanatorium based on his ability to Manipulate Space-Time Dimensions.
I won't go into the details of the principle, but simply put, it's a portable space!
He has already packed in things he often uses around him and in other worlds, and the Void Battle Bead is one of them!
PS: The picture shows Sally Jupiter.
Laura put on the Void Battle Bead, which had just been programmed into her suit. With a light tap of her finger, countless nanoparticles surged out, like waves, engulfing her entire body.
"This... this is absolutely incredible!"
Sally was completely stunned by this 'futuristic' way of dressing.
Laura was also amazed, but after all, she had spent a long time in the Void and was no stranger to the Void Battle Bead developed in the Void!
"And there are even more incredible things to come."
Laura approached her mother without making any attempt to defend herself, and said with a sense of pride, "Hit me!"
Sally was stunned. "Are you... are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure."
Where to hit?
"Anywhere is fine, come on!"
"Good!"
Sally threw a punch, using 30% of her strength, at Laura's shoulder.
"Bang!"
The fist landed on a layer of suddenly lit purple light, followed by a surge of immense force. Sally was instantly thrown backward, staggering several steps before regaining her balance.
"What is that?" she asked in surprise.
Laura explained proudly, "This uniform can absorb the kinetic energy generated by an attack and reflect it back. The stronger your attack, the stronger the recoil will be."
"However, this absorption and recoil has its limits. When encountering a truly powerful enemy, the effect will be greatly reduced. Simply put, in most cases, wearing this uniform is equivalent to being invulnerable to swords and bullets!"
"Even if the uniform is damaged, the nanoparticles in the Void Battle Bead will quickly replenish and repair it until all the stored nanoparticles are exhausted."
"Furthermore, although it may appear that the face and legs are unprotected, they are actually protected by invisible nanoparticles. Regardless of the design and presentation of the uniform, the uniform provides comprehensive protection without any gaps!"
"Besides the uniform, or battle suit program, the Void Battle Bead has many other powerful functions, such as cross-time and space communication, medical programs, and so on."
