Reality Editing vs. Quantum Probability
Hypertime.
There is no gravity, no air, and not even the concept of "direction" exists here.
Countless rivers, emitting a faint glow, intertwine, collide, and then separate in the boundless void.
Every long river is a timeline. Every drop of river water is a parallel universe in the making.
Two figures stood facing each other above this river that transcended dimensions.
One is Doctor Manhattan, who radiates pure blue light and is like a quantum ghost.
The other is Jiang Li, the [Ultimate Alien X], whose entire body is jet black and whose body is filled with endless dark gold system code!
"You shouldn't exist in any timeline."
Doctor Manhattan's unwavering eyes gazed down at the vast river of time beneath his feet, representing the "current reality."
He saw Jiang Li tear apart the Crystal Wall System, and he saw Jiang Li brutally beat up the Justice League.
"Therefore, I will change that probability to zero."
Buzz--
Doctor Manhattan made no unnecessary movements; he didn't even raise his hand.
He only "thought" about it in his mind for a moment.
Moment!
Below, in the turbulent river of time, the section of water that flowed during Jiang Li suddenly began to dry up and flow backward in an extremely eerie manner!
Reality is being rewritten!
No cracks appeared in the sky above Metropolis. Superman was calmly writing his manuscript. Batman was still fighting crime in Gotham City.
Even Darkseid, far away on Apokolips, had his severed right arm forcibly restored during this reversal of time!
Doctor Manhattan directly modified the past.
He defined Jiang Li's arrival as "never having happened" from the perspective of cause and effect!
Quantum probability has been unilaterally locked down by him. Jiang Li's foundation in this universe is being frantically eroded.
"Erase my past?"
Faced with this conceptual level of annihilation, capable of instantly Oblivion any god to ashes.
Jiang Li, transformed into [Ultimate Alien X], displayed an extremely mocking sneer on his faceless face composed of dark gold code.
"Do you think this universe is your personal server, where you can delete whomever you want?"
Jiang Li slowly raised his right arm.
Countless dark gold codes converged and danced wildly at his fingertips!
His system privileges were instantly elevated to the absolute pinnacle, on par with the Omniverse!
"In Lao Tzu's system."
"All my documents."
Jiang Li pointed his finger heavily at the drying river of time below!
"Set all of them to 'read-only mode'!!!"
"Patch. Overwrite!!!"
Rumble--!!!!!
The dark gold system code, like a high-dimensional tsunami bursting its banks, crashed into the Hypertime below!
The blue water that Doctor Manhattan had originally rewritten as "not yet arrived".
The first Planck Time when encountering Jiang Li's dark gold code.
It immediately emitted an extremely jarring "garbled" error message!
Click! Click!
The blue quantum probability was forcibly shattered!
The dark gold code ruthlessly took over that history and patched it with an irreversible and unalterable system patch!
Reality has been forcibly brought back to the present!
Metropolis was reduced to ruins once more. The Justice League was wiped out again. Darkseid's right arm was severed at the root once more, and he let out a desperate scream amidst the ruins.
The established fact of Jiang Li's arrival was firmly nailed to the timeline of the DC Universe by [Ultimate Alien X] with the absolute violence of making his words law!
"That's impossible."
For the first time, a barely perceptible stiffness appeared on Doctor Manhattan's pure blue face, which had remained unchanged for billions of years while he was suspended in mid-air.
He discovered that his usually infallible quantum probability modification was failing when it came into contact with those dark gold data, all of which resulted in "insufficient permissions" errors!
The other party was not resisting his strength.
The other party is using a more domineering, higher-dimensional logic to forcibly lock down the underlying parameters of this universe!
"What? Stunned?"
Jiang Li's starry face revealed extreme tyranny.
"Now I'll show you what a real 'authority dog' is like!"
At this moment, the battle completely transcended fists, feet, and light waves.
It turned into an extremely crazy clash between gods and overpowered cheaters—a true "Reality Editor" battle!
In their eyes, the entire DC Universe was like a Word document whose control was being frantically seized.
The blue light was intense in Doctor Manhattan's eyes.
"The laws of gravity are reversed. Atomic bonds in matter break. Concept Erasure."
He frantically wrote death commands into the universe's operating code, attempting to turn the entire Hypertime surrounding Jiang Li into an absolute dead zone!
On the other side...
Jiang Li suspended in place, without even making a move to dodge.
He only did one thing.
Words spoken, laws followed!
"Gravity restoration".
"Atomic bonds are locked. Physical laws are solidified."
Every time Jiang Li uttered a word, the dark gold system code would transform into an invisible ripple, instantly forcibly undoing Doctor Manhattan's modifications with "Ctrl+Z"!
Sizzle sizzle--!!!
Within the Hypertime, extremely dazzling mosaic sparks erupted.
That's the dimensional chaos that results from the collision of two logics that transcend the limits!
They were fighting over the setting of a decimal point and a fundamental particle.
The conceptual aftershocks it emitted caused countless parallel universes below to undergo tens of thousands of cycles from birth to destruction in just a few seconds!
The universe is born and dies. Galaxyes are wailing.
You can't delete me.
Jiang Li's voice, like the final judgment of the universe, resounded in Doctor Manhattan's mind.
"Before my system's computing power runs out, if you modify just one word, I can apply ten thousand patches."
"Change the settings? Who do you think you are!"
Absolute suppression!
It wasn't just a physical crushing defeat, but even in the field of quantum manipulation, which Doctor Manhattan was most proud of.
Jiang Li remains the same unreasonable and ultimate tyrant!
They exchanged fire for a full three minutes.
The Hypertime has become riddled with holes, riddled with irreparable dimensional cracks.
finally.
Doctor Manhattan stopped.
The pure blue light in his eyes gradually faded.
He stood in the broken void, looking at the unharmed starry figure opposite him, enveloped in dark gold code.
"Your data level exceeds my observation limit."
Doctor Manhattan's tone remained calm, but the content of his words revealed a sense of powerlessness in the face of reality.
"Conceptually and logically, I truly cannot erase you. You're like a virus with its own top-level firewall."
"Standard antivirus programs are ineffective against you."
"Admitting defeat?" Jiang Li sneered, the dark golden code all over his body pulsating like burning flames.
"No."
Doctor Manhattan slowly raised his head.
For the first time, an extremely resolute divinity appeared on his usually expressionless face.
"Since software-level logic modifications cannot delete you."
"Therefore, as the observer of this dimension, I have no choice but to resort to this last resort."
Doctor Manhattan turned around.
His gaze was not on Jiang Li, but on the deepest part of the Hypertime.
They looked towards that absolute forbidden zone, a place even the river of time could not reach.
"I'm going to use the most primitive 'hardware' in this universe."
"I will suppress you with the purest, most primal quality."
Boom--!!!
As Doctor Manhattan finished speaking...
His body instantly transformed into an extremely dazzling pure blue beam of light, directly piercing through the dimensional end of the Hypertime!
And at the end of that dimension that has been breached.
Through the crack, Jiang Li saw a gigantic, boundless, terrifying wall stretching across the edge of the Multiverse!
Embedded in those walls were countless ancient gods with distorted faces.
It exudes an extreme pressure that is even older and more suffocating than quantum probability.
[Warn!!!]
The system's red alert blared wildly in Jiang Li's mind once again.
[Extremely dangerous! A high-dimensional universe load-bearing structure has been observed!]
[The Source Wall!]
