A huge crisis that destroyed the world ended like this.
Doomsday Clock At the moment when it was close to the zero point, it seemed as if it was being held down hard by a big hand and stopped turning.
The nuclear bomb that took off disappeared and did not detonate, which plunged the U. S. and Russian authorities into panic.
It was like a sudden supernatural event, which seemed particularly unusual.
Where are my nuclear bombs? It was clearly launched, but why is it missing?
The intelligence agencies of various countries continued to slow down the video footage captured by the satellite, looking for clues frame by frame, and finally discovered a blurry figure.
Could it be Dr. Manhattan?
After the presidents of the two countries received the news, they couldn't help but have the same association.
That "God" left the earth and disappeared for a long time!
Is he back?
The heads of state, who were blinded by war fanaticism, interests and greed, seemed to have a basin of cold water poured on their heads and calmed down instantly.
"Humanity has stopped. They are standing on the edge of a precipice and will not take that final step for a while."
Luke returned to the secret base, and all the nuclear bombs that were launched were put into Netherworld.
He obtained nearly one-third of the nuclear weapons reserves of the United States and Russia Thaddeus Ross out of thin air, which was an unexpected gain.
If you have the opportunity in the future, you can use it to wash the floor.
Throwing out thousands of cores Negasonic Teenage Warhead at once, the effect must be outstanding.
"Did you really do it?"
Pharaoh couldn't believe it, but the information conveyed on the screens of the monitor array forced him to accept this fact.
"Just preventing a nuclear war, no big deal."
Luke looked calm, as if he had just done a trivial thing.
If he intends to show off his record, he once helped Avengers defeat Thanos, used a the Snap Days of Future Past to defeat Mephisto in hell, won the first place of Sorcerer Supreme Tournament, then saved Nine Realms, and killed Serpent...
Compared with what has been done above, a mere world war between the Eastern and Western camps is nothing.
"This is not permanent, Mr. Adrian-Veidt."
Luke smiled in a low voice and said softly, "For complex creatures like humans, don't think about eliminating their bad qualities. That is something that even God can't do."
"He once sent down the world-destroying flood to cleanse the unjust people, but what happened in the end? Greed, ambition, selfish desires... are still growing wantonly on this land."
Adrian's eyes flashed but he said nothing.
He is a combination of Lex-Luthor+Batman, with excessive narcissism and arrogance, as well as matching brains and execution ability.
Coupled with the savior plot that is deeply rooted in the bones, it is impossible to shake your inner thoughts with a few words.
"Back to the topic, Owlship, and the coordinate data for tracking Dr. Manhattan, I want these."
Luke spread his hands, indicating that it was time to ask for reward.
Dr. Manhattan underestimated Pharaoh's wisdom and action, thinking that everything would be fine if he exiled himself to Watchmen Universe.
"If I'm not wrong, Mr. Anonymous, you probably didn't come here voluntarily, right?"
Pharaoh made no move. As a smart person, he was keenly aware of some useful information through the previous conversation.
"That's right."
Luke admitted frankly that being tricked by Dr. Manhattan was not a shameful thing.
Even though Metron, who was as powerful as New Gods, was sitting on Mobius Chair built by Anti-Monitor, he was still directly obliterated by the blue man.
If it weren't for the fact that the body of Superman is integrated with Tenth Metal, possessing a trace of the original power of the universe.
Perhaps, Dr. Manhattan will take a more brutal and direct solution to his biggest variable.
"Then even if you return to Main Universe where Joe is, you may not be able to fight against him."
Adrian pointed out the key point, which is how Superman should defeat Dr. Manhattan at this stage.
Unless you draw the top template of Thought Robot or Golden Superman.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to pose a fatal threat to the blue man.
"I have my own plan."
The corners of Luke's mouth curled up, and he could understand the meaning of Pharaoh's words.
Smart people are always unwilling to be lonely. When they know that there is a broader space beyond Watchmen Universe.
The world is so big, Adrian naturally wants to see it.
Unfortunately, I cannot satisfy the other party's idea for the time being.
"If you want to get in on the game, you're probably going to be disappointed."
Luke looked at the huge array of monitors behind Pharaoh. The news from various countries showed a turbulent and chaotic situation.
Although the war has been temporarily stopped, the growing flames of violence are burning and destroying everything.
The world needs a leader to find the right direction.
"First of all, I have no intention of facing Dr. Manhattan directly."
Luke stretched out a finger and said with a smile.
The blue man is observing the fully restarted New 52. No matter which parallel universe or timeline he appears in, he will be noticed immediately by the other party.
Dr. Manhattan is based on the upper reaches of time and space. As long as he is willing, he can easily delete his own existence by rewriting the timeline.
Even if Luke has a way to escape, he will always be in a passive position.
It is unwise to use your own shortcomings to compete with your opponent's strengths.
Therefore, Luke's plan is to determine the coordinates of Main Universe by tracking the traces of Dr. Manhattan, and then descend to the restart time and space before the flash point occurred.
His appearance will create a new branch in the originally fixed timeline.
"It's like two forks in the road, both leading to the same destination."
Luke said calmly with a relaxed smile, "I am on the downstream side of time and space, and he is standing on the upstream side. After a long journey, we will meet sooner or later."
"To be honest, I'm looking forward to Dr. Manhattan's expression when he discovers that everything he observed has become an illusion."
Pharaoh was shocked in his heart and put away his original idea of continuing to negotiate terms.
His intuition told him that pushing too far could lead to disastrous consequences.
This anonymous Mr. Doe will not tolerate his various behaviors out of rational and calm thinking like Dr. Manhattan.
"However, Mr. Adrian-Veidt, do you want to consider joining my camp?"
Luke changed the topic and threw out the second chip.
He opened his palm, and a sparkling Willpower Lantern Ring appeared.
That bright green light illuminated the interior of the secret base, like beautiful emerald.
"The world will need a second 'God', but I have no interest in playing such a role."
At this time, Luke is like a devil who confuses people's hearts and follows the path of kindness.
"Who else is more suitable than you? A natural villain who can sacrifice the 'small part' to save the 'majority' without any psychological burden. A cold-blooded king who has no mercy in his heart, let alone weakness."
"This ring can transform you from a mortal into a 'god'."
"It doesn't cost you much, Mr. Veidt."
Adrian's eyes were firmly fixed on that Willpower Lantern Ring.
It is like a top-grade emerald gem that makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Luke smiled, even the smartest person in the world might not be able to resist the strong temptation brought by the new power.
This is like Lex-Luke, various research Superman, trying to steal the other party's power.
Wisdom and force cannot have both.
The smarter a person is, the more he wants to become stronger.
He let go of his hand, and the Lantern Ring that originally belonged to Sinestro floated gently in the air.
Then, a dazzling light burst out, illuminating Pharaoh's handsome face.
"Intelligent life is locked."
"Adrian-Veidt from... the universe."
"You have a strong will to overcome your fears."
"Welcome to Green Lantern Corps!"
