The Death Knell

The smartest man in the Watchmen universe, Pharaoh, is here.

The lost ten years of Earth 0 were when Dr. Manhattan transferred old friends from the Watcher universe to Multiverse 1 and rewrote the story and the next ten years.

And now, if we want to find the 'dead' but 'omnipresent' Dr. Manhattan and ask how to solve Darkseid's trick, if we can't find the blue man, of course we have to find the person who knows him best. .

The Watchmen universe collapsed, destroyed in all-out nuclear war, and Doctor Manhattan merged its remains with Earth-0.

As for the second-generation Rorschach and the second-generation Silk Spirit, these people have always been hiding in some places on Earth 0.

But no matter what happened before, they did not take any action to participate in the story anymore, as if they chose to forget themselves.

But Su Ming knew that just because he couldn't see it didn't mean he didn't exist. Manhattan might have deliberately separated them from the Justice League, but Quantum was not omnipotent. At least he didn't understand people's hearts, and he couldn't be compared to the Pharaoh in this regard.

The blond man wearing golden armor and purple linen cloth walked into the moonlight. He calmly clasped his hands behind his back, just like before.

However, he also read a poem in response to the question before the death knell, but he chose Shelley's work of the same name:

"I am Ochmantis, the King of Pharaohs. My unparalleled achievements make you despair."

Before he finished reading, he sneered, then as if he couldn't stand himself, he shook his head repeatedly, and said to the death knell:

"You remind me of when I was young. Yes, I am that Ochmantis. I once saved our earth, but reality and time finally defeated me. At the same time, I also proved several truths. First of all, Yes, human beings have a tendency to self-destruct; secondly, lies cannot always cover up the truth. Rorschach is right."

Speaking of his old teammates, Pharaoh raised his head and looked at the sky. The moonlight shone on his face, and a trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of this smart man.

After so many calculations, he could not buy eternal peace for mankind. Now, he is just a retired old man on Earth 0, just like the remaining statue's calf in the desert.

"Retirement doesn't mean you don't care about anything anymore. That's why I can stop you here today. After all, this disaster site is too close to Egypt where you live in seclusion."

Su Mingcai didn't care whether it was a thigh or a calf, he could only tell where Dr. Manhattan was, and that was the good leg:

"Do you want to smoke? Let's talk."

"Thank you, I don't smoke. This is a bad living habit, just like that person." Pharaoh walked to his side, but while answering, his eyes fell on the black and yellow chest: "I have always I’m curious, what’s your relationship with the comedian?”

"It doesn't matter. What we probably have in common is that we are both villains and we all like to laugh. Even if the world is dark and ugly, a smile can at least provide a good mood when looking in the mirror."

Su Ming lit a cigarette by himself, looked at the desert under the moonlight, and took out a bottle of red wine:

"Are you drinking? Let's find a place to chat."

"Then let's stay on top of this wreckage." The Pharaoh raised his hand, and a small claw hook shot out from his golden wrist guard, pulling him up to the platform on the statue's calf section. After he sat down, he took pictures Patting beside him: "Come on, I can probably guess why you are looking for me, but this matter is hard to explain."

As one of the top smart people, Pharaoh always tilts his chin slightly, but he is not as narcissistic as Luther. In other words, he is much more mature after experiencing so many stories and living in Earth Zero.

Compared to him, Su Ming's flight was silent. It was like a black cloud rising from the ground and slowly landing next to the other party. Two glasses filled with red wine were in his hands, shaking gently and exuding a charming atmosphere. of red light.

"I need to know where Dr. Manhattan is. I have a lot of things to ask him. I have seen him a few times, but when I looked for him later, he was gone."

The Pharaoh who took the wine glass took a sip of the liquid inside and showed a satisfied expression, as if he admired Wilson's red wine very much.

Immediately, he put his hands on his knees, looked at the bonfire in the distance for people to keep warm, and replied:

"He died within ten years that you don't know, because he lost the definition of 'living'. You may have seen him and touched him, but in essence, you just came into contact with the quantum itself. "

"Whether it's the quantum or the person." Su Ming took a sip of wine and rubbed his stubble: "Now I just need to know how to see him again, because lately, people always tell me about Darkseid. Yes, so I would inevitably want to hear about quantum immortality.”

Hearing Darkseid's name, the Pharaoh was in a daze for a moment, as if he was searching for a target to deal with in his memory.

Soon, he showed a puzzled look: "That person, I remember that Kexade is not the opponent of the Justice League at all, let alone your opponent. What happened?"

"Times have changed."

Su Ming just said this with a smile, then turned out another wine bottle and added it to the two of them.

"I see, I have been observing the differences between this place and our previous world, such as the Origin Wall, magic, real alien monsters, and many superheroes."

Hearing this statement, the man in purple robe nodded. He seemed to be thinking about how to describe the death knell:

"Since arriving here, I have seen a lot of things, and I have also seen the hope and despair of this world, but I did not interfere, because this is probably what he wanted me to learn. Look at how a real hero would choose."

The moonlight was leisurely, and occasionally the gravel flying in the wind could be seen sparkling beneath it. Su Ming shook his head:

"I'm not interested in what superheroes do. I just want to destroy my enemies. Can you call that blue bald head for me now?"

"Oh? Why do you think there is a connection between me and him?"

The Pharaoh showed a curious expression. He raised the wine glass in his hand and touched the death knell lightly.

"Because you are different to him, especially you. You beat him once." Su Ming raised a finger and waved it in front of their eyes: "So according to his calculation method, you are the best among all super heroes." The person who poses the greatest threat to him in the world of time flow. It will definitely be countless times easier for him to come to you than for you to go to him."

"As expected of you, very good."

The Pharaoh put down the empty wine glass, put his hands on the top of his head, and moved them towards the back of his head:

"Please give me the metal Do you think you still know us'."

Yes, the Pharaoh had a way, or in other words, he always had a way.

Although he dresses brightly, he is essentially a dark person who likes backup plans, even in a new world.
