Decompose the substance......

Rorschach II remembers very well that he once saw on television that Dr. Manhattan reduced a tank to atomic dust.

At that time, the military vigorously promoted this human being who became a god because of an accident, and even said the classic saying-

"God exists, and he's American!"

But soon, he realized that something was wrong.

There is no soft blue light, no bald head, and clothes are worn......

This is completely inconsistent with the outward image of Dr. Manhattan.

"I'm sorry, you recognized the wrong person."

Luke shook his head, he wasn't the exhibitionist who liked to walk birds.

Once he had gathered enough information, he set out to find the whereabouts of the pharaoh.

From Rorschach II entering the cell of the police station, rescuing the marionettes and the pantomime duo, to entering the secret base in the sewers.

Luke took it all in and followed him all the way here.

After Dr. Manhattan left the Warden universe, the only person in the world who deserved to meet him in person was probably Adrian Witt.

If you had to let Luke pick a suitable helper to deal with the spicy blue man who was walking birds on Mars.

The Pharaoh was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

He knew Dr. Manhattan too well, and even found something to exploit in a "god" who had no weaknesses at all.

Disappearing humanity, increasingly indifferent feelings...... Adrian was the first to notice this, except for the laughing man.

Dr. Manhattan once witnessed the Laugher shoot a pregnant woman, and he could have stopped it, but he didn't.

President Nixon asked him to go to war, and he could have refused, but he didn't.

Because Dr. Manhattan could foresee the future, the interval of time had no effect on him.

His mind can appear in the past and the future at the same time, as if he were walking freely in an empty room.

Therefore, in Dr. Manhattan's view, everything that happens is a predetermined trajectory.

He just observes, but doesn't take the initiative to meddle.

It was precisely this that the pharaoh took advantage of and accomplished his plan.

Even if Dr. Manhattan knew everything in the end, his absolutely calm, rational mind told him that Adrian was right.

Therefore, he chose to kill Rorschach, who had the potential to lead to the outbreak of war and increase the variables.

But he spared the Pharaoh who had created a massacre and put himself on the back of the black cauldron.

Because in Dr. Manhattan's thinking, human anger, hatred, and rejection have no effect on themselves.

He only felt that the earth was too complicated and wanted to leave, and that was exactly what Adrian wanted to see.

"Who are you?"

The pharaoh's face was slightly solemn.

Luke has shown terrifying abilities that are unusually human.

This reminded him, like Rorschach II, of Dr. Manhattan.

"Can't you guess the smartest person in the world?"

Luke smiled, using the spatial teleportation to suddenly appear, and then dismantle the screwdriver that attacked.

Through his expressive abilities, he initially shocked the Pharaoh.

In this world, except for Dr. Manhattan, there is no superpower in the true sense.

The first batch of drag heroes consisted of a group of police officers with a strong sense of justice.

They found that the law alone could not give the criminals the punishment they deserved, and that the other side could still get away with it by hiring a lawyer or otherwise.

So, the police put on masks and fancy costumes after work to punish the villains themselves.

With the publication of the newspapers, the gang of drag heroes has aroused people's interest.

People like to talk about their behaviour and clothing, and the police and the government also show praise and encouragement.

In that era when law and order were relatively chaotic and powerless, the emergence of cross-dressing heroes was something that everyone was happy to see.

This group later formed a group called the "Militia", whose members included "Captain Metropolis", "The First Night Stalker", "The Laughing Craftsman", "The First Silk Soul", "Black Silhouette", "Hundred Dollar Bills", and so on.

However, their fate was not so good.

Some were sent to nursing homes because of alcoholism; Some were shot dead by conservative homophobic groups; Some became government agents, doing dirty work; Some retired and opened auto repair shops......

Of course, the most unlucky thing is to be caught in the cloak by the revolving door and die in the "100 yuan bill" snatched by the bandits.

He once set off heated discussions among the cross-dressing heroes such as "whether the uniform should have a cape" and "whether the cape will affect the battle".

Later, after the militia was disbanded, a new generation of characters appeared one after another, including Dr. Manhattan, Rorschach, Pharaoh, the second generation of night owls and the second generation of silk souls.

This is the evolutionary history of the disguised heroes of the Warden universe, except for that blue man, who are essentially a bunch of vigilantes with no superpowers.

The opponents he faced were only gang leaders, vicious bandits, and murderers.

Unlike the superheroes on the set next door, they can fly away and do anything.

"I don't know the prophet, how can I guess."

Adrian is smiling on the surface, but in fact, his brain is running at high speed, making all kinds of guesses.

Smart people will always think a lot, and the more they don't give answers, the more they will make up for it. sweet potato

"Okay, who am I and where do I come from...... These questions don't really matter. ”

Luke spread his hands in a friendly gesture.

The convict couple, marionette and pantomime, took two steps back.

From this man, they felt a dangerous aura similar to that of Dr. Manhattan.

Anyway, it's an existence that can't be provoked!

"It's important that I can help you guys with news about Dr. Manhattan."

Luke said with a smile.

This caused the pharaoh's pupils to shrink, from which he gained some useful information.

"Have you seen Joe?"

Adrian asked tentatively.

"Yes."

Luke replied truthfully.

"Where?"

The Pharaoh then asked.

"Mars."

Luke said in a kind tone, casually, "Frankly, I have a personal vendetta with Dr. Manhattan. ”

"He gave me a one-way ticket to the holiday, a gift that I have to pay back for."

The corners of Adrian's mouth twitched, sounding like an enemy.

To be an opponent of Dr. Manhattan and to be alive is a sign of strength.

At least as far as the Pharaoh could see, those who tried to attack and resist when Dr. Manhattan was fighting crime, they had only one end in the end.

It was the flesh and blood that suddenly exploded into a puddle of sticky ketchup.

Adrian was also prepared for this before designing the other party.

But Dr. Manhattan agreed with him, and instead of doing anything, he chose to leave alone.

"So, what are you going to do?"

The Pharaoh did a good job of reining in his thoughts and emotional fluctuations, and he knew how to deal with such a strong man.

In one word, honesty.

The reason why he was able to hide from Dr. Manhattan and secretly set up a plan for the next step.

It's because he never lies in his usual chats or questions.

Dr. Manhattan could detect an abnormality in the pharaoh's heartbeat, a subtle change in his expression, or read a thought at any time—though he had never done that.

But Adrian had to take that into account.

Every time he confronts Dr. Manhattan, he uses honesty, the art of language, and even constantly hypnotizes himself so that the other party does not notice the problem.

"I want to leave this universe."

Luke looked at the Pharaoh, the man who claimed to be the smartest man in the world, his heart was steady, his breathing was smooth, and he had a cautious expression on his face, but it was only a disguise.

In the other party's head, he must be thinking about his own plan.

"Leave...... Universe? ”

Adrian hesitated.

"That's right, isn't this modified Night Stalker airship exactly what you have prepared to track down Dr. Manhattan?"

Swish!

Luke Young tore off the dust cloth with his hand, and immediately created a choking puff of dust, causing everyone else to hide their faces and cough.

"Am I wrong?"

Pharaoh shook his head, he had indeed made adequate preparations to find the "God" of the Watcher universe.

But why does the other party know about this?

For a moment, Adrian's mind was confused and he thought a lot.

"But before we leave, we have some time to talk."

Luke, who was completely in charge, snapped his fingers lightly, and the marionettes and pantomime inside the base, as well as the second generation of Rorschach, were teleported out in an instant.

In the chaotic space, only him and the Pharaoh were left.

"What are you talking about?"

Adrian held his breath and forced himself to compose.

"Let's start with your cancer that doesn't exist."

Luke fluffed his first chip.

“…… You know that, too? ”

The Pharaoh's face finally changed, and he once again experienced the feeling of facing Dr. Manhattan.

Omniscient, omnipotent!

There are no secrets at all!

Could it be that the departure of one "God" leads to the appearance of another?
