The Knights of the DC House

When Ke Wen brought Lena and the members of the Watch back to Earth, all they saw was devastation. Civilization no longer existed, including the people he cared about. In this year of killing each other, no superhero could be spared.

It is impossible to even escape from the earth. Because this zombie crisis caused by the mines laid by the Laughing Bat, the anti-life equation clown toxin caused by Darkseid, covers not only the earth.

The earth is an infected area, and the Apokolips in the universe is another infected area. The rapid expansion of the two infected areas has brought the entire universe to the brink of destruction. Even Ke Wen, along with Lena and the members of the Watchers

Entering the phantom zone again, I was able to survive with the help of the special nature of this zone.

Looking at the image projected by Ke Wen through the memory of the universe, Dr. Manhattan also fell into silence. He suddenly felt that he had been too extreme to hold on to Superman before. Compared with Superman, a being who has a similar fate to himself, who can give him

He explains why Batman, as a mortal, turns black, which directly leads to a great crisis that destroys the universe. There are just seven damn Batmans who turn black, and they directly exchange their extremes one by one.

Everyone died, and the poison left behind directly buried the entire multiverse of light with them. Compared with his operation of creating the world with one thought, and destroying the universe with one thought, this method of blackening Batman has more connotations.

Well, even Dr. Manhattan has to call himself an expert in this regard. Give him a hundred tests, and he can't guess that seven blackened Batmans can destroy the world. Is this reasonable?

But no matter whether it was reasonable or not, it just happened. By the time Ke Wen brought these things with him to find his comrades in the DC Universe and returned to Earth, there was nothing he could do.

Rarely, Dr. Manhattan was silent for a long time because of the action of blackmailing Batman to destroy the world, trying to recover from the reality that had happened and confirm that he was not dreaming.

"So, how did you do it, I mean, how did you make the two universes merge together."

After adjusting his emotions and breaking away from this unbearable memory, Ke Wen also replied: "How to merge together? I didn't have this idea at the beginning, even though they had told me that their universe was in danger.

, but you didn’t exist in that timeline, and I didn’t know where to find you, so I just sat in a daze in front of the graves of my friends, lovers, and parents. I stayed in daze for a whole year, without eating or eating.

Drink like a stone.

Because I have been thinking about what I should do to bring them back to life, so that these dead people can come back to me again and let me make up for the missing regrets. Only at this time can I understand those heroic words I had said.

How ridiculous.”

When he said this, the savior Ke Wen also laughed at himself. Regarding the self-deprecation of the savior Ke Wen, Dr. Manhattan did not accuse Ke Wen of being sanctimonious in this regard. The needle was not stuck in his body, so he did not know what pain felt like.

Especially now that part of his humanity has returned, looking back on everything he has experienced in the Watchmen universe, he feels the same way.

The so-called Cold War and the nuclear war of World War III could have been prevented from the beginning if he had known about it for a long time. He had the ability. The reason why he did not do so was because he did not want to.

He does not think that the joys, sorrows and joys of these people have anything to do with him, he just thinks that the fight between ants is nothing more, because even if the earth is destroyed, he will not be hurt.

But the moment he killed Rorschach, he understood that he could no longer return to the previous state and could not view everything in front of him from a human perspective. There was only one choice left for him, and that was

After leaving, until now, Dr. Manhattan once again puts himself in a human perspective to look at the past. If he returns to the Watcher universe and sees a wasteland earth after a nuclear war, everything he cares about will be gone.

time, in order to save it all, he would give anything!

And the savior Ke Wen was also chattering there.

"I have previously met Wally from the old 52 universe who was locked in the Speed ​​Force due to your intervention. He was exactly what I am now, having lost everything he had in the old universe. After your intervention, he was born into a new one.

In the universe, he is like a lonely ghost, so in order to go back to the past time, he is also trying to restart it again, until he is defeated by me, and he chooses to sacrifice himself to fulfill me. This is what I told him at the time,

Said that if I were in his position, I would definitely stick to it.

But it turned out that I was wrong. I sat in front of their graves for a whole year, and there was nothing I could do. The only thing I am luckier than him is that I still have Lena's company, and we still have each other, but what about him?

There was nothing left. I was very angry and desperate, until I thought of a solution that was not a solution."

"Fusion universe?"

Regarding the words of the savior Ke Wen, Dr. Manhattan also mentioned one of the most critical points. It is exactly everything on the timeline where he is now. He is also very curious about how Ke Wen managed to merge the universe.

"Don't be so curious. You can think of it yourself. This method is also a method you have seen. Do you remember the real universe you went to? You learned everything about Kamen Rider in that universe. Kamen Rider build

The last few episodes of , my method comes from these episodes."

"Pandora's Box?"

When Ke Wen mentioned the Kamen Rider build, Dr. Manhattan also reacted. After all, he had also gone to the real universe to pursue it at that time, and had watched the nineteen Heisei Kamen Rider dramas and Ichi-O except Tokioh.

As a series of derivative works, we naturally know what Ke Wen means by this sentence. The inspiration for the fusion universe also came from the work Kamen Rider Build.

Because in the next ten years, that is, starting from Kamen Rider W, and ending with Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, the universe view of these eight knights is the same, but different events happened in different cities.

.But Kamen Rider Build is not. It is a separate and independent universe view, and only Kamen Rider Build is a derivative. This is also the origin of the knight joke, Four boys, you lied to me·jpg.

Because in the theatrical version of "Heisei Generations", Kamen Rider Fourze said to Kamen Rider Build from another parallel universe, no matter what kind of crisis occurs, we will come from another universe to help you.

As a result, Build was beaten to the point of being autistic by the villain, the evil knight Kamen Rider Evolt, and he was left alone. He didn't see any of his fellow knights to help him. How could this make him not feel sad and angry?

You went across the universe to help, but when it was your turn, you were no longer in the service area. Is this a fucking human thing?

Just kidding, Dr. Manhattan also understands how Ke Wen achieved the fusion of two different universes. Because in the work of Kamen Rider Build, the biggest artifact is the object called Pandora's Box. This

The object in the Kamen Rider Build universe comes from an extinct civilization, the hometown of extraterrestrial life Kamen Rider Evolt, and is a true artifact in the Build universe.

Whether it is the energy bottle transformation of the build, the knight transformation system, or the various stages of transformation of the evil knight Evolt, they all come from this artifact. It has only one function, which is to generate a transformation energy bottle by extracting elements from the target planet.

The huge power not only gives the user the ability to transform, but also creates outer panels with different abilities and colors based on the extracted element characteristics. Some of these panels can generate new equipment, and some themselves are

Has huge energy.

In the main drama, the white panel created by the protagonist team after experiencing the Heisei Generations Movie and knowing that there is another parallel time and space is the key factor for them to finally defeat the big boss, the evil knight Evolt. Just to achieve

For this purpose, all members of the protagonist group stopped eating. Fortunately, everyone had a happy ending in the end, except for the protagonist (angry)! It is precisely because of chasing and watching the show that Dr. Manhattan also understands how Ke Wen operates.

Ke Wen also used his knight system to exchange for Pandora's Box, used his own energy to create a white panel, and then locked the Watchmen universe where Doctor Manhattan was born, and activated it through the injection of energy, allowing the two universes to reintegrate.

Got together.

"Yes, Pandora's Box, it seems you understand. You are worthy of being a person who has gone to the real world to chase after it." When Dr. Manhattan mentioned Pandora's Box, the savior Ke Wen also joked there.

But Dr. Manhattan still shook his head.

"No, I don't understand. I understand the characteristics of this Pandora's Box, but it's not enough to explain that you can merge the two universes. In other words, fusion is just the result, but your process is not that simple."

"Yeah, it's not that simple. Pandora's Box can do it by fusing two universes with the Earth as the main body. But fusing a broken multiverse of light with an ordinary universe on the verge of nuclear war means taking the outside of Pandora's Box.

It’s impossible to make a skyscraper out of layers of panels. The quality and quantity are not on the same level. So, here comes me.”

Regarding Dr. Manhattan's words, the savior Ke Wen nodded with deep understanding and said there, while also pointing to himself, who exists as the savior of this future branch timeline.

"you?"

"Yes, I know the limits of Pandora's Box very well. If I relied solely on Pandora's Box, the box might have exploded in the main universe. But at that time, I had lost all hope and only had this hope, so no matter what

, I want to succeed. I kept pushing myself to stimulate my potential, which is ridiculous to say. When everything was over, I finally understood the source of the powerful power in myself, but it was too late.

So I poured all this power into Pandora's Box. Using the properties of the box, I took your friends, Lena, to travel through the 52 universes in the multiverse of light. In these 52 universes

, by extracting the characteristics of the universe, I created 52 Pandora's Boxes. Then I used the power I poured into them to merge these 52 Pandora's Boxes into one. Of course, as these 52 magic boxes merged into one,

Naturally, 52 broken multiverses of light have become one."

The savior Ke Wen talked about what he had done in an understatement, but Dr. Manhattan understood the feeling of helplessness and despair when Ke Wen took Lena through 52 universes and all he saw were ruins.

What kind of mentality did he maintain to integrate these 52 universes into one?

"Why do you do that?"

"Because after the detonation of the Laughing Bat, the entire multiverse of light can be said to have been destroyed. But haven't I told you before, where there is light, there is darkness. The broken multiverse of light cannot maintain balance.

.The tilt of the dark multiverse will put the entire universe into crisis, so 52 universes merge into one to form a larger and stronger universe to maintain balance.

But this is not enough. Even if I gather the remnant lives of 52 universes together, they will not have one percent of the vitality of a single universe. Therefore, I need more lives and more vitality, especially the earth, and

Before, wasn't your friend also because of the universe you were born in? The earth is on the verge of destruction at any time. Since I can't find you, I have to go."

Speaking of which, Dr. Manhattan can also imagine that scene. It doesn't take Dr. Manhattan's imagination. The savior Ke Wen directly appeared in the microcosm created by Dr. Manhattan during the process of merging the universe.

First, the 52 universes as the Light Multiverse collided together under the traction of the 52 Pandora's Boxes to form a new universe. Because they belong to the Light Multiverse, there is not much difference between the universes. After the merger,

, fine-tuning was carried out, and there were basically no major problems. And because of the withering of life, the merger between the universe and the universe did not cause the life forms of the universe and the universe to meet each other.

This is also the reason why the savior Ke Wen dared to do this, because in the bright multiverse that has been poisoned by the legacy of the Laughing Bat, life has withered so miserably. To use a simple metaphor, it means that the number of 7 billion on the earth has been spread to

In the entire universe, this level of scarcity cannot be shared by even one life form or a galaxy lord. Under such circumstances, the dilapidated multiverse of light also gave birth to the first new universe, Main Universe No. 0, which combined

The main universe was born from 52 dilapidated universes.

Immediately afterwards, Ke Wen once again replicated his operation of merging 52 universes, relying on the advantages of this newly born Light 0 main universe to strongly connect to the Watcher universe. And Dr. Manhattan's Watcher universe, at best, is more

Like the real universe, because in the Watchmen universe, except for the birth of Dr. Manhattan, an existence that should not have been born, the rest is no different from the official history of the real universe.

Even if there are so-called superheroes, they are just a group of uniformed vigilantes. It was only because of the birth of Doctor Manhattan, his super character, and the country he was in that the history of the 20th century changed. Because of Manhattan

With the Doctor here, his country is unscrupulous because they can win everything. Because with Doctor Manhattan, the country that was supposed to disintegrate at the end of the 20th century abandoned its previous revisionism and became a superpower again.

Because they know that once they disintegrate and face their opponents, they have no room to make a comeback. The existence of Dr. Manhattan can make their so-called efforts come to naught. Maybe there are extraterrestrial civilizations in the Watcher universe, but

No extraterrestrial civilization can resist Dr. Manhattan as the Quantum God, but this is enough. A universe full of vitality is what Ke Wen needs most at this time.

Especially the earth, which is the center of the universe, everyone on it is a precious resource. What happens next is very simple. War breaks out at any time and turns into a wasteland world at any time. Watching the Earth with my own eyes.

Another earth collided with me in the sky. What a world war or a nuclear war, it all turned into bullshit in an instant.

The merger has begun. Because of the power of the new Guangming 0 main universe, the Watcher universe has no ability to resist, including the people of the Earth in the Watcher universe. The nutrients of their earth are absorbed by the Earth of the Guangming 0 main universe, and even humans

The planets were also sucked in together. At the same time, relying on the strength of the Earth in the Main Universe 0, the world history was also reset for the Earth in the Watcher Universe.

The world history of the 20th century that was modified because of the birth of Dr. Manhattan has been corrected. Naturally, there will be no World War III that could break out at any time. In order to prevent this nuclear war, the Pharaoh blamed Dr. Manhattan and created

The tragedy in Manhattan, New York, ceased to exist, and naturally the scene that Dr. Manhattan saw before appeared.

The newsstand owner and the prostitute boy who were supposed to die in the tragedy survived and are living in the 21st century. Because the new light 0 is the main universe of the earth, there are naturally cities such as Metropolis and Gotham.

City, but due to the population and vitality absorbed from the Watcher universe, apart from resetting the memory and making up for some of the missing parts, the overall environment of the entire New 0 Main Universe and Earth is similar to that of the Watcher Universe Earth.

Except for the known Dr. Manhattan, there are no real superheroes. The so-called superpowers are still urban legends that exist in cities and cannot be true.

That is why the savior Ke Wen said that everyone is dead. This vibrant new No. 0 main universe Earth, even because of the merger of the two earths, has restored the once-disappeared Atlantis civilization and Paradise Island civilization.

But on Earth in the Watcher universe, Paradise Island and the civilization of Atlantis both exist, but they are civilizations that have been extinct in official history and are regarded as myths and legends.

In the new Main Universe Earth of No. 0, Atlantis and the Paradise Island civilization are known to the world, so they are just making up for the lost population, and there are not many changes. The names are still the same, and the people are still the same.

People, but they will never know Ke Wen and Lena, including the members of the Watchers. They saved two universes, but they will disappear from people's memory forever.

People in the Watcher universe only know that in the early to mid-20th century, there was an active civil society organization called the Watchers, who wore uniforms and upheld the concept of justice and were active in the streets. However, with the outbreak and end of World War II, they gradually disappeared. As for the Watchers,

No one knows the true identities of these people inside, and over time, it has become folklore.

As for Ke Wen, who saved two universes, it’s even simpler. People simply don’t remember the previous collision of universes. Ke Wen, Lena, and his two children are just like most people in this world.

, just ordinary people. Therefore, the savior Ke Wen only exists in the mutual ridicule between Ke Wen and several members of the Watchmen. Even his son is too lazy to call him father, even if he knows that his father really saves people.

the entire universe.

Dr. Manhattan, who understands all the causes and consequences, also knows why Ke Wen said those people are dead, because there is no Krypton or Apokolips in the Watcher universe. Even if the universe merges, what he sees are only similar people, not deja vu.

The origin of.

Dr. Manhattan, who wanted to understand this, also looked at the savior Ke Wen and asked: "Do you regret it?"

"I regret it, but after staying in this new world for so long, I also understood the state I was in at that time. I had no choice but to give it a try, even if I knew that nothing could be done in the end. But it's okay, at least I saved the place where you are.

The universe, too, has also seen another group of people. Even though they no longer have the identity that I am familiar with, they are living a good life, so for now, I have no regrets."
