After having Athena handle the Olympian Pantheon and prepare to bring the Olympian Pantheon into the He-El Universe, He-El left the DC Universe, returned to the He-El Universe, and summoned Doctor Manhattan.
"Your Majesty." Doctor Manhattan appeared amid the starry sky before He-El, placing a hand over his chest and bowing.
"Doctor Manhattan, do you recognize these scanning fluctuations?" He-El lightly raised his palm, sending out the shallow-logic scanning method that had appeared after the parallel universes of the DC Universe fused into the New Krypton Universe.
He recreated it within the He-El Universe.
This was not a scanning method that could exist in any ordinary universe. It transcended normal universes, using shallow logic to scan a universe. Even He-El, despite being quite familiar with the underlying operational logic of universes, had never considered that it could be used this way.
Doctor Manhattan carefully sensed the fluctuations emanating from He-El's hand, sensing the specific realities that could be scanned by using the shallow operational logic of the universe. He could not help constructing a computational universe in his mind, calculating the extent to which this method of scanning through the universe's shallow logic could reach.
The final result was that all matter and energy within a universe could be clearly calculated and totaled, except for matters involving the souls of living beings and the emotional energy tied to their soul-wills, which could not be accurately quantified.
It could be said that once this scan covered a universe, it could easily scan the universe's matter and energy, revealing its true state.
Only in the areas of soul-will and emotional energy was it somewhat lacking.
"I do not recognize it, Your Majesty, but I have calculated that this scan pushes the use of a universe's shallow logic to the limit. The being
