At this time, the news that Cyborg had encountered Dr. Manhattan disguised by Law Firm Chen on the Apocalypse Star also spread to Earth through an undamaged black box, and spread on Earth through unknown channels. Most of the people who had just ended the Darkseid War had witnessed the sight of the steel bones being killed by Chen Lu, who was projected by the quantum body on the Apocalypse. The overwhelming disparity in strength and the signature move that exploded from their bodies made them have no doubt that it was the work of Dr. Manhattan.

For a while, the people began to talk about this powerful figure who "suddenly" appeared. Many Americans of the older generation who have heard the story of the previous generation of superhero watchmen groups can't help but recall that under the threat of Dr. Manhattan, people had to put aside all prejudices, and even the United States and the Soviet Union had to end the Cold War and resist together.

The next day's newspaper headline was "The Monster That Threatens All of Humanity Strikes Again!" 》

Although most people don't know that Dr. Manhattan's strength is far superior to Darkseid's due to Chen Lu's news blockade, as long as they hear that his power can easily cause millions of deaths, and even more so that the two sides of the Cold War have to join forces to confront each other, they understand that the comer is by no means an ordinary person, at least no less than a threat from Darkseid.

However, the earth that has just experienced the invasion of the Apocalypse Star has almost no energy left to deal with this monster whose strength is still bottomless, as the main force to resist the Apocalypse Star, the Amazons and the Atlantean army have suffered heavy losses, the two leaders Wonder Woman and Aquaman have been wounded and have not returned, and the Batman coalition has broken a steel bone general. As a result, no one in the Justice League is confident that they can solve this crisis.

Therefore, whether to negotiate or to arrest firmly has become the focus of the debate.

"Unlike Darkseid, he was at least once an earthling." Atom Ray Palmer appealed his opinion at the Justice League meeting, "So I don't think at least he can't communicate and helped us defeat Darkseid before, right?" So as long as you can talk to him, you may be able to solve some misunderstandings. ”

Immediately, Captain Fantastic stood up and objected: "Please don't ignore the fact that he once took a million lives and left, I can't let a wicked person like this go unpunished." As you can see, Cyborg didn't do anything aggressive at him at first, but he was brutally murdered immediately. Dr. Manhattan is a heinous villain, an enemy we should fight with all our might! ”

"But I have to say, we can only defeat Darkseid with him. To put it bluntly, Darkseid was dealt with by him. ”

"That doesn't mean he has good intentions for us, and who knows what he's doing it for?"

"I think if he had malicious intentions, he would have killed us all."

"How do you explain his ruthless treatment of Cyborg?"

······

Chen Lu, the only one who knew the answers to all these questions, sat in the center of the conference room without saying a word, knowing that in this case, his words would completely determine the direction of the Justice League's actions, which was the result of his efforts along the way. But Chen Lu is not in a hurry to let the Justice League take a stand, because he still has to wait for the attitude of Batman's side.

The point of this plan is not what attitude the Justice League takes, but that the course decided by the Justice League must be different from what Batman decides, so that Dr. Manhattan can see the level of malice that humanity has towards him.

It can't just be as simple as when the United States and the Soviet Union joined forces to deal with him, and it is too simple for mankind to work together for a while.

On Batman's side, they naturally also received the bad news that the steel bone was torn apart on the Apocalypse. The black box that can still be brought back may mean that there is still a possibility of recovery for the steel bones, but this possibility is still theoretical, and no one can guarantee that the steel bones will still appear intact.

After losing Cyborg, Batman is left with only two students, Nightwing and Robin, and a group of new superhumans who have just joined the gang. Under Chen Lu's deliberate manipulation, they were portrayed by the media as real heroes who contributed more to the Darkseid War than the Justice League, but Batman himself knew that most of these people were still far from superheroes, let alone comrades who could satisfy him.

In their boardroom, the arguments were much more intense than those of the Justice League, and the excited young men almost got into a fight. It's just that compared to the Justice League, who are worried about assessing Dr. Manhattan's strength, most of these young people who are extremely inflated by the high praise of the media are calling for revenge for Cyborg. No matter how strong Dr. Manhattan has shown and how much of a threat he will be, he will not be taken seriously by this group of newborn calves.

Thankfully, Batman still has undisputed authority in this camp, so with a simple wave of his hand, the crowd temporarily quiets down. Unlike this group of young people who can be easily blinded, Batman quickly discovers the problem.

"This Dr. Manhattan in the black box video is a little different from the information I got on Earth before."

Batman pressed the remote control, and the scene of the steel skeleton being shattered with a wave of his hand continued to play on the screen repeatedly.

"Dr. Manhattan's ability should be to break people down into a pile of elementary particles from the inside, and muscles, bones, and internal organs will all be shattered in an instant, leaving only a puddle of plasma at most, not even a trace of broken bones."

Then he lifted the steel-boned black box that he had brought back from the Apocalypse, a mechanical structure that was the size of Batman's palm: "And this ability that appears in the video is more like tearing the steel-bones from the body, and then scattering them and crushing them part by part, so that the black box will be sent back." The two look very similar, but they are fundamentally different in terms of abilities. ”

Nightwing immediately reacted: "That is, that isn't the real Manhattan doctor?" ”

Robin Damian also muttered, "But no matter how you look at it, this guy is also the blue bald head." There is absolutely no other person in the world who has such an appearance. ”

"It's true that Dr. Manhattan's quantum body is almost impossible to imitate, but it's also true that he doesn't show full quantum decomposition capabilities in the video." Batman tried his best to maintain objectivity, and being able to analyze so calmly in the face of the death of his former comrades also made the new superhumans who followed him feel a little chill.

"So now we have to figure out the situation before we decide whether we should be against Dr. Manhattan."
