Half a month has passed since the nuclear war that almost dragged the human world into the abyss.

The disappearance of nuclear warheads has become one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the world, and no one knows where they have gone.

And when the armistice between the Eastern and Western camps was announced, a guy who called himself the "Emerald Knight" appeared in the Kremlin and the White House successively, and had a conversation with the presidents of the two countries for several hours.

According to the information provided by the intelligence services, the man's body was covered in emerald green energy armor, and conventional weapons had no effect on him, and he displayed extremely strong combat effectiveness.

The special service team in charge of security work, in front of the Emerald Knight, they didn't even have room to fight back and fell directly.

"Mr. President, I'm here to negotiate conditions."

The Pharaoh, who wore the Cenistto Lamp Ring, opened with Luke's written lines.

Although he didn't know why the other party was emphasizing this sentence.

Is there any profound meaning in it?

As Luke said, the triangle is the most stable structure.

When the third pole of the world appears, he is neither an American nor a Russian.

At this time, some of the contradictions will be transferred, some of the conflicts will be reduced, and then a delicate balance will be entered.

"Why did the militia disband?"

During the conversation with the president, Adrian remembered Luke's question.

The militia is a cross-dressing hero organization, which was once sought after by the public, and was the best helper of the police and the government.

But later, as the number of vigilantes increased, the police department slipped into a weak position, and the New York City government even rejected the policeman's request for a salary increase several times, deeming it unnecessary.

The media and the public also feel that since there are cross-dressing heroes, there is no longer a need for police to maintain law and order.

They will only come late after the problem is solved, and deal with the scene, where is more efficient than the vigilantes who pull the wind to fight criminals.

As a result, the pent-up grievances turned into anger at being treated unequally.

A large number of police officers came together and staged a general strike, which in turn led to a social shutdown and even greater riots.

People took to the streets, holding signs with slogans such as "Who's going to restrain the drag heroes" and "Get out of the vigilantes".

This, coupled with Nixon's successful re-election, prompted Congress to pass the Keene Act.

Drag heroes either work for the government or choose to retire, there are only two paths.

The militia was then disbanded, and the relay watchmen did not work.

And the reason for this situation is precisely because the drag heroes of this world are mortals except for Dr. Manhattan.

They can only be regulated, they cannot resist.

Even the uncompromising Rorschach can only go underground from a vigilante on the surface.

Luke asked this question in order to remind the pharaoh.

Now is different from the past, he is already the "Emerald Knight".

One can ignore the government and act as a vigilante presence.

If you don't have enough strength, you will be restrained.

The world government on the set next door, even if it formed the Sky Eye Society, would not be able to dictate to the Justice League.

Although the Marvel Universe has introduced a superhero registration bill and the Avengers have broken out into a civil war as a result, government control has never really been realized.

In the final analysis, there are still many superheroes, and they have the power to resist.

"I'm the Emerald Knight."

The Pharaoh, who left the White House, flew high into the sky and saw Luke standing in the clouds.

The dark red cloak fluttered like a flag.

The latter smiled and said softly: "Times should have changed, Werther, even if Dr. Manhattan does not come back, you can become the 'God' of this world." ”

He succeeded in seducing the Pharaoh and telling him to sign the devil's contract.

In exchange for a Ring of Will Lamp, he gained the ownership of his soul.

It's like playing a card game, and Luke has a penchant for all sorts of good villains.

Compared to superheroes, they are more capable of doing things.

Pharaoh was just the first S card he got, and there were even better ones to come.

"When are you leaving?"

Adrian's eyes were complicated, and he said in a deep voice.

He is a conceited man who likes to dominate everything.

But in front of Luke, the pharaoh, who often compared himself to Alexander the Great, no longer had that confidence.

"In such a hurry to urge me to go? Yes, there is only one God, so that he can be worshiped by the masses. ”

The corners of Luke's mouth curled, and he quipped.

He didn't think it was a loss-making business to give a Lamp of Will Ring to Adrian Witt.

As the person who knew Dr. Manhattan best, Pharaoh always had his part.

"You'll get tired of it sooner or later, and when the time comes, I don't mind opening that door to the wider universe."

Luke prophesied.

The Pharaoh had already given him the modified Night Stalker airship and the coordinate data to track Dr. Manhattan's energy.

Among them, there is also the red lynx that was genetically modified.

It has Dr. Manhattan's energy left in it, and it has other uses.

"Goodbye, Werther."

Luke waved his hand, he wasn't going to stay in the Wardens universe for long.

It's a devastated and nearly shattered world.

Let the Pharaoh do the great work of putting things right.

"By the way, remember to leave the marionettes and pantomime, as they are useful to you, they are useful to me."

Before leaving, Luke said this.

Adrian's eyes flashed as he was covered in emerald green energy armor, this guy really knew everything.

He looked down at the land, then at the glittering ring on his right.

Pharaoh Adrian Witt, who had died of cancer.

Now only, Emerald Knight!

……

……

A few days later, Luke didn't tell anyone, and rode the Night Stalker airship alone, performing quantum tunneling.

The entire cockpit made a "buzzing" concussion sound, as if it was about to disintegrate at any moment.

The route of the autopilot has been modified by him.

It's no longer about going to the timeline where Dr. Manhattan is, it's about going to a much earlier plane before the flashpoint.

The blinding light engulfed everything, and Luke couldn't help but squint his eyes, and the night owl airship he was riding in seemed to be swept into a whirlpool, constantly spinning and tumbling.

If you were an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will be spit out all the food residues left in your stomach by this violent turbulence.

Boom!

The old-looking Night Stalker airship looks like it's crashing into a hard wall.

It pushed forward with all its might, squeezing through that thick layer of "obstacles".

The metal shell rubbed bright sparks, like a meteorite falling rapidly.

"Meow!"

The red lynx lying on Luke's lap, like a fried cat, wagged its tail restlessly.

"It's okay, it's almost there."

Luke stroked the supple fur with his palm, like a cat, and slowly calmed the manic red lynx.

Like a wrecked plane, the Night Owl Airship brought a conspicuous flash of fire through the atmosphere quickly.

Rumble!

Luke kept slowing down, but the inertia of the fall still caused the Night Stalker airship to slam into the ground with an alarming loud noise.

"When Adrian Witt revamped this airship, didn't he think about adding an emergency landing function?"

Luke coughed twice and hugged the red lynx.

Forcibly pulled open the twisted hatch and walked out unharmed.

Crackling sparks flickered, and choking smoke billowed up.

Luke looked at the not-so-successful landing of the Nightowl airship, which smashed a large crater.

The surrounding soil was charred black, as if it had been burned by fire.

"Someone's coming."

Luke's ears twitched, and he heard footsteps in the distance.

He glanced around and saw large fields of corn and wheat nearby.

Looks like a farm!

"It wasn't a pleasant ride."

Luke opens the world of Hades and takes in the dying Night Stalker airship, then soars into the sky and disappears in place.

Overlooking the land, amplify your senses.

After a few seconds, he finally settled on the location of the arrival.

Here it is—

Kansas!
