Chapter 227: Thinking Superman
"It's finally the last moment."
In the main control room of the Dome, Hirovara's face was complicated as she looked at the universe that was gradually covered in blood red, a sign that Mandrak was preparing to devour it.
"Not in the end, for me – for all of us, Mandrak is just a part of life or adventure."
Red walked around the corner, and Superman remained asleep as before, alive but showing no signs of waking up.
It seems that in this crisis, we can't count on Superman's help.
To be honest, Red was still a little apprehensive about this battle.
Unlike the doppelgangers who materialize in the universe, Mandrak in the realm of thinking is close to being invincible, and the only way to compete with it is to think superhuman robots.
But now, Red actually failed to meet any of the conditions for activating Thinking Superman......
The enormous amount of energy required to activate the thinking superman can only be compensated for by the number of "supermen";
Controlling the firm will required by Superman, Red can only bet that he can replace Clark Kent;
But the final piece of the puzzle transforms them into quantum superhuman power that transmits pure energy to the realm of the mind -
"The last piece of the puzzle is up to me."
Just then, Red heard a familiar voice behind him.
Red was stunned for a moment when he turned around, but he immediately smiled knowingly when he saw the figure in front of him.
It turns out that everything has already been arranged.
——
A few minutes ago.
"If this continues, the world will be destroyed, Witt, is this the end of your plan?"
Rorschach looked up at the blood-red canopy, and although it was almost impossible for him to see Red and them fighting Mandrak in his physical mortal form, he could even feel the end coming.
Jonathan ...... Dr. Manhattan: He's going to make a move, right? ”
The second generation of the silk ghost shouted towards the open space around him.
"Jonathan! I know you can hear us now, please, the world needs your help-"
"No, Dr. Manhattan may not strike again, he will only observe now, observe the results of the universe, and I don't think he will interfere in this battle."
Although the bloody hole in Pharaoh Adrian Witt's chest had not yet healed, he still looked as usual, and methodically operated on the keyboard in front of him.
"In that case...... That is, the Dome and Red were wrong to make this the end goal? In the end we just did useless work? ”
Hearing Eve's unwilling words, Werther stopped, and he turned to look at Eve meaningfully.
"No, everything is predestined, the adventures you have experienced, everyone who has boarded the Dome, is prepared for this moment, no one is a bystander."
"Everybody...... That is, even I-"
"I've collected all the data on what Dr. Manhattan has created, and I've tried to reproduce that experiment — but it has undoubtedly failed, and according to my analysis, a being like Dr. Manhattan is an accidental product that can never be reproduced, unique and impossible to replicate."
Adrian stared at the primordial heroine Eve, whose pupils were constricted, and she quickly understood what the Pharaoh meant.
"There is only one Manhattan doctor in this universe, who transcends all concepts of time, probability, etc., as long as he is born, he will no longer be affected by timeline changes, and any other experiments will reduce the probability of success of the subject to zero because of his existence. Unless—"
"Unless, the subject is an existence similar to Dr. Manhattan's, and has the power of the quantum realm that will not be affected by him......"
Eve took a deep breath, looked determined, and looked up at the Pharaoh.
"Let's get started—"
"I'll make the final piece of the puzzle."
——
Red looked at the purple-pink skin figure in front of him, she was once a weakened version of Dr. Manhattan, but now through the same experiments as Dr. Manhattan, she had gained abilities comparable to those of Dr. Manhattan.
"In fact, my power is only temporary—maybe only once."
Eve's body was now enveloped in pink light, her eyes seemed to be ethereal and beautiful as if she could see through everything, and her forehead was marked by a quantum observer made up of circles and dots.
Just like Captain Adam and Dr. Manhattan.
"Can you read my mind?"
"It's not something I actively want to do, but our consciousness has been linked many times and has created a strong bond that cannot be broken...... Whether I want to or not, I can sense your inner thoughts, just like you think right now, why am I still clothed, right-huh, little pervert. ”
Eve's cheeks puffed up slightly, and her originally goddess-like face was a little more shy and angry.
However, after seeing this scene, Red secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that Eve has only gained the power of Dr. Manhattan, but he has not lost his humanity and leaned towards divinity because of this.
"I don't think of myself as a god – and I don't intend to be one, and neither do you, Red, and remember to keep to your heart as a human being, whether it's desires, impulses, emotions, weaknesses...... These are all testaments to who you are as a human being, and once you abandon these, there is no going back. ”
Eve gently stroked Red's cheek, who hesitated and nodded.
He knew that Eve could see more than he could now, and it wouldn't be for nothing that she reminded him of this.
"I see, Eve, I make a pact with you."
Eve smiled with a breathless smile as her body slowly floated into the air, a dazzling light beginning to envelop the crowd around her.
"Are you ready, if you participate in this battle, maybe the end will be more desperate than death."
Red's gaze scanned the crowd, and after seeing their expressions, Red knew that his question was too much.
They come from different worlds, have different abilities, and have different ideals in their hearts – but the people who are still standing here all have one thing in common.
They are both supermen and heroes.
The only exception is himself, and Red relies on absorbing the superhuman ability obtained by absorbing the Supreme Little Superman, and he doesn't know if the charm is .....
But when Red looked up and saw Eve's meaningful smile, he knew the answer was clear.
"Very good guys, let's ...... Let's fit together! ”
Overlord, Almighty, Captain Marvel, Captain Fantastic, Bald Cloak, Urbanist, Mr. Super, Tian Xiaoban, and finally Red raised their hands at the same time, and a ray of light connected from their hearts to Eve's chest.
The primordial heroine's palms were facing each other in front of her chest, and the energy emitted from the crowd swirled and merged in her palms, as if it were a small universe.
"I'll make the head!"
——
I opened my rusty eyes, and the dust slid down.
It is a body made of mind, created by the main watcher, a veritable body of steel endowed with power above all else, with red and green heterochromatic eyes that can see through dimension, time, space, and distance.
And here is the wilderness under the blood-colored sunset - if you look closely, you will see that the yellow sand everywhere is actually an endless universe.
It's time to complete "my" task.
Who is "I"? It doesn't matter, it's the mission imprinted on this body to save the whole physical world from the most dangerous enemies.
The thinking superhuman robot took a step, and in the next moment, he was already in front of his target.
After all, this is the realm of thought, and size and distance are meaningless.
"It's time to finish, Mandrak, and we need to bring an end to this story."
Seeing the parasite of the universe, the fallen watcher Mandrak was about to devour the universe in his hands, and after hearing the deafening heavy sound of the thinking superman, his body froze instantly, and then turned his head with a sneer.
"You ended up showing up, Superman...... No, you're not Superman at all. ”
As if convincing himself, Mandrak roared in a hoarse voice.
"You're just a shoddy product, with a superhuman appearance, but it's all stinky fish and shrimp, and you want to beat me too?"
I saw Mandrak smiling and condensing dazzling energy in his hands, bombarding the thinking superman.
Airplanes!
Thinking Superman used his Thermal Gaze, colliding with Mandrorak's energy attack and negating-
But by this moment, Mandrak had already swooped down on Superman.
"Your movements are too slow, and sure enough, you don't fit this body at all, hahahaha!!"
Thinking Superman tries to raise his hand and punch Mandrak, but the latter grabs Thinking Superman's arm and throws him hard.
Bang!
Thinking Superman fell heavily to the "ground", and at this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of countless universes being shaken, and perhaps hundreds of millions of lives were wiped out because of this trick.
But for Thinking Superman, he doesn't have the time and energy to pay attention to this, because he finds that Mandrak is right, and he can't fully use the power of Thinking Superman now.
It stands to reason that the strength of the thinking superman will continue to escalate and evolve, and no matter how strong the enemy is, he can suppress the enemy with a stronger force.
Now, however, there is a clear gap in strength between him and Mandrak.
Maybe it's because Mandrak has already sucked the worlds outside of the DC multiverse, and Superman, who is set as the guardian of the DC universe, can't cope with his growth rate;
Maybe it's because the energy of the Activating Thinking Superman Robot is not pure and sufficient enough, after all, the energy created by the annihilation of Superman and Supermaster is calculated by multiplication, but the power added by the superhuman isotopes of each universe is far from enough;
Maybe it's the consciousness of the superman who controls the mind, but it's not superhuman at all, and it can't fit into this machine......
However, for Thinking Superman, he has no option to throw in the towel.
Thinking Superman rose from the ground, but Mandrak had already rushed in front of him again, not intending to attack like he did not intend to give him a respite.
"Come closer, Superman, don't you want to chase me, don't you want to defeat me? Hahahaha-"
Determined that Superman was no match for him, Mandrak let out an unearing, shrill grin, slicing through Superman's steel body with his razor-sharp claws, tearing at his metal skin and revealing the intricate parts within.
"Do you feel it? This is not just the blood of 52 universes, but 500 universes! Hundreds of billions of solar heat! I am stronger than I have ever been, I have transcended the story, I have transcended fate—behold, not even you can judge me! ”
The vampire emitted a dazzling thunderbolt, and he unleashed his devastating energy to the fullest, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in huge pillars of thunder, and the thinking superman had nowhere to hide.
In the never-ending afterglow of the sunset, Mandrak tears and damages the body of the superhuman who thinks superhumanly, he is the embodiment of pure malice in the void, and the trampling of hope is the meaning of his existence.
Finally, the thinking superhuman robot was half-kneeling on the ground, and there was barely an inch of intact skin on his body.
"It's over, Superman, it's time for me to cross my fate—"
At the moment when Mandrak was about to use his claws to pierce the chest of the thinking superman......
"Establish your faith, Red Douglas! You have the power to change the story, who will save the world, and the ending of the story can be up to you! ”
Gilovara's voice reached the ears of Superman, his eyes had been gouged out by Mandrak, but even then he could still feel the presence of the female watcher.
The Watchers are inhabitants of the realm of consciousness, and they certainly have the ability to return to this world.
"Get out of the way!!"
Mandrak raised his hand, and a wave of energy struck at Kirovala, and if he hit, the female watcher would be wiped out—
It's just like the ending in the original story.
However, at this moment, the destroyed eyes of Thinking Superman suddenly lit up with red light.
"The ...... who went to step on the horse Original! This is my story!! ”
Bang!
Thinking Superman appeared in front of Kirovara, teleporting, and used his body to block Mandrorak's devastating lightning.
At that moment, Mandrak seemed to sense something, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Hurry up and bury me! Stop dying and struggling! ”
Mandrorak rushed at Superman with all his might, and the devastating lightning struck the latter's chest, and the S-shaped symbol of hope had been blown apart, and Mandrorak pierced the mark with his claws, pulling out Superman's heart.
"It's over, this time, it's finally over - what?!"
Mandrak felt that what he was holding in his hand did not seem to be the mechanical heart of the superhuman, but the core of a star that was generally extremely hot.
And what made him even more uneasy was that the serious face of Thinking Superman, which was originally unsmiling, was now revealed-
Grin.
Crazy smile.
"I see...... It won't be until the time of the remnants of blood that it will be fully compatible with me...... Do you play to your full strength? ”
Instinctively, Mandrak took a few steps back, looking incredulously at the figure that had broken a large hole in his chest, but still stood proudly in front of him.
"......Who the hell are you?"
"I'm sorry, but it's not Superman who saves the world in this story—"
"The main character is my berserker!"
