The Knights of the DC House

Distant Branch In the future, outside the earth's atmosphere, the satellite moon that originally surrounded the earth has disappeared. A sonic blast channel as big as the moon just stopped at the original position of the moon, aiming at the earth below. This is Dr. Manhattan

After returning to the main universe, he observed the first New 52 universe future through his own quantum power. When Dr. Manhattan passed through the time channel and entered the first of these three branch futures, he appeared in the earth's space.

The scene that arrived.

Dr. Manhattan has to admit that when he took back his humanity and returned to the main universe with perfect divinity, the information he received gave him the urge to return to humanity again. It has to be said that Ke Wen, who exists as a variable, is really

He gave himself too much uncertainty. Especially one of the three branched futures, which was the future he was currently stepping into. When he saw this sonic blast channel comparable to the moon appearing above the earth, he was really shocked.

was shocked.

"Apocalypse's sonic blast channel? Is it so big? Is this a future where Earth and Apokolips engage in a full-scale war?" When Manhattan saw the text all over the periphery of the sonic blast channel, he understood that it was a sonic blast started by Apokolips.

channel, and it can also be seen that this is not the initial stage of a full-scale war between Apokolips and the Earth.

This sonic blast channel has existed for some time, which means that this is a war that lasts for many years. What Dr. Manhattan is curious about is how the earth survived the long-term attack of Apokolips, even in this way.

Judging from the situation, there is still a tug of war.

This is not that Dr. Manhattan is badmouthing the earth. Apokolips is a powerful civilization that can be compared to the once-destroyed Krypton, or even better. In terms of individual combat power, the Justice League headed by Superman, plus Ke Wen,

To help the new generation, under the command of Batman, adopt decapitation tactics at the beginning of the war and directly attack Darkseid and the new dark gods, it is indeed possible to repel the attack of Apokolips.

This was the case with the previous invasion of Apokolips, but once the war reached a stalemate, the power of Apokolips as a higher civilization became apparent. An organized group of demon-like creatures, also known as the Apocalypse Demons, could defeat the earth.

The coalition of all the countries in the world, whether from space, naval battles or land, the power of the Apocalypse Demon and its fearlessness of death will be a dimensionality-reducing blow to the earth's civilization and army, and will not give you any face at all.

That kind of.

Even in the initial invasion war of Darkseid, due to the power of Darkseid's clone, the Justice League composed of Superman and others defeated Darkseid, and used this clone as a signal to open the sonic blast channel, which would reach Darkseid.

Xaid, the Apocalypse Demon was thrown back to Apokolips. In this war of aggression that lasted less than two hours, half of the earth was basically destroyed, and many cities were directly turned into ruins. As a battlefield,

The metropolis has lost a quarter of its urban area and has completely turned into a wasteland.

With such an example in front of him, Dr. Manhattan was curious about how the Earth remained on the defensive and was not even destroyed despite starting an all-out war with Apokolips.

From the perspective of Dr. Manhattan, beneath the sonic blast channel comparable to the moon, the Earth is still intact. Of course, it cannot be considered intact, but as a naturally weak side in a total war, it is enough to be able to maintain such a state.

It is considered intact. But if it were viewed from the perspective of others who were completely unaware of the situation, it would be difficult for them to connect the devastated planet with the blue planet of life.

The continental plates are covered with wars, and the main color of the blue sea has become lifeless against the flames of war. With Dr. Manhattan's eyesight, he can see the continental plates of Asia, Europe, America, and Australia.

, has long lost the vitality that he saw. No matter which continental plate it is, all he can see is a devastated city. Conspicuous landmark buildings have collapsed together and ruins are everywhere. It doesn’t look like a planet with life.

Planet.

From time to time, there are small teams of Apocalypse demons patrolling the ruins of these ruined cities. From time to time, they capture a human survivor hiding in the ruins and lock him in a container. With the number of humans in the container,

When a certain number is reached, it is sealed and escorted to space, returning to Apokolips through this huge sonic tunnel, and then transformed using biotechnology to become a member of the Apocalypse Demon Army.

Just in space, Dr. Manhattan obtained some information, but he still did not know the whole truth. For example, why the earth launched an all-out war with Apokolips and how long the war lasted. As the superhero of the earth's first line of defense, Justice

Doctor Manhattan has no way of knowing where powerful heroic organizations such as the Alliance, Teen Titans, and China Self-Strengthening Department are now, as if a big hand has erased all information from the past to the present.

It makes it impossible for him to restore the entire process through the information of only scale claws, but this is not difficult for him. He is the quantum god. Even if something unexpected happens to him, as long as he knows it, there is a way to solve it.

All restored. The future scene of this branch greatly increased his interest.

"It's very good. Even I can't fully understand the future. Let me see what happens in this future."

With an interested look on his face, Dr. Manhattan disappeared from space in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already on Capitol Hill, suspended on Capitol Hill, looking at the presidential statue on Capitol Hill.

In the main universe of the past, the statue of Superman, Clark Kent, who is preparing to take office as president in January, is indeed carved on the mountain wall. It is also the only one among the five statues that is well preserved, which means that past history does not exist.

Not much changed; Clark did become president.

After obtaining the information here, he also appeared in New York. As the image building of the Justice League, the Hall of Justice, more accurately, should be the original Hall of Justice. Because what Dr. Manhattan saw was only ruins, and even the words Hall of Justice were

Half-destroyed, whatever once existed inside is no longer there.

When he saw this, Dr. Manhattan frowned and flashed again. This time, he appeared in Nazionale City. Similarly, he also saw something expected but still somewhat unexpected. The Titan Building also became

The ruins fell to the ground, split in two and fell to the ground, like a giant cut in half. On the sea not far from the ruins of the Titan Building, another building was half-soaked in the sea.

That was the watchtower, which was the first line of defense used by the Justice League to resist the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations. It just fell on the sea and became an icy building wreckage. Looking up at the sky, a huge sonic tunnel replaced the moon, shining brightly.

On the earth, Dr. Manhattan could imagine the scene at that time. The huge watchtower was like a meteorite, falling from the sky with flames. Along with the watchtower fell, there was the endless army of Apocalypse Demons.

They used the fall of the watchtower as a signal and began a full-scale invasion of the earth. Then, Dr. Manhattan went to another place in Nazionale City, not far from the Titan Building, which originally belonged to Ke Wen's own cabin. Planet Detective

Office. Of course, this place was also in ruins, and nothing was left. Then, Shanghai, London, Sydney, Tokyo... these cities all have traces of Dr. Manhattan.

But what he saw were still ruins, ruins, ruins! Even the World Tree that was born in the Ginza area of ​​Tokyo due to the great incident of Knight Origin turned into a rotten tree and collapsed there.

Walking on the streets of the city, Dr. Manhattan fell into confusion. He could indeed feel that there was life on the earth, but this life force was not enough to resist the sweep of the Apocalypse Demon army. There was something stopping them from doing whatever they wanted.

Carrying out the last extermination strike on the devastated earth? Moreover, he could not find any information about a superhero. What made him even more curious was that he could not find a single human survival point.

Since there are survivors, there should be survival points, but he can't find them, not even one. This is impossible. As long as he wants to look for it, he will definitely find it, unless someone makes him find it, and this

People's abilities are not inferior to him. But who this person is, Dr. Manhattan can't think of or guess. Just when Dr. Manhattan was confused, he also raised his head and looked at the huge sonic blast channel.

If there is no trace of superheroes on the earth, whether it is Ke Wen or Superman, then there is only one place left, on the other side of the sonic tunnel, the other side that started the total war, Apokolips!

Just as Dr. Manhattan was thinking this and preparing to go to Apokolips through the sonic blast channel, he also noticed the strange changes coming from this huge sonic blast channel. A spaceship was staggering through the sonic blast channel.

With localized flames, it headed towards the earth, and behind the spacecraft, an Apocalypse Demon force that was completely different from the Apocalypse Demons on Earth was chasing after it.

On Earth, the patrolling Apocalypse Demon troops also noticed something unusual in space. With a howl, the Apocalypse Demons, who were like a swarm of mosquitoes, and another Apocalypse Demon troop in pursuit also formed an encirclement, heading towards the ship filled with

The war-torn human spaceships engaged in a pincer attack.

"Maybe you will bring me the answer," Dr. Manhattan looked at the spacecraft with traces of Earth's technology and the people in the spacecraft. He was stunned for a moment and said to himself, while flashing his body.

, appeared inside this spaceship that was filled with flames of war and could be turned into ruins anytime and anywhere due to the attack of two Apocalypse Demonic forces.

His appearance did not alert anyone inside the spacecraft. In order to better find the answer, he disguised himself. His original quantum body disappeared and transformed into the person he once was as a human, named Jonathan Jon.

·Osterman's scientist appearance, no one here was surprised that there was an extra person in the spaceship. The moment Dr. Manhattan appeared inside the spacecraft, these people were implanted in their subconscious minds and regarded him as

A member of his own spaceship.

In the driver's seat, a girl was also using an encrypted channel to call for help. It was not pure technology, but a new technology combined with magic. When seeing this, Dr. Manhattan's doubts were solved a little. It does exist.

There is a huge human survival point, and it is disguised with the power of magic. The level of magic is very high. The magic that acts on the encrypted channel is more like a transfer station, transmitting information to that human survival point.

.

"Help! Help! This is Earth Ark Spaceship No. 12, Captain Shanna Todd. We are being pursued by the Apocalypse Demon Force, as well as these Apocalypse Demons lingering on the earth. Damn it, you can't be diligent.

Come on, sweep away some of these things on the earth! We have just completed a lurking mission and carried important information. If we don’t come to the rescue, just wait and see the fireworks in the sky!"

"...Sorry, Captain Shana, this is our negligence. Please make an emergency landing in Nazionale City. We have sent rescue personnel here."

"Who? Gemini, Feixia or someone else? The one who is chasing us is the Destruction Demon. Don't let the logistics troops come to deliver food rations to others."

In response to the reply from the survival point, Shana Todd also named several names, but Dr. Manhattan had no impression of any of these names. He only understood through words that they were superheroes in the current survival point of mankind.

"No, it's that adult, you know him too."

The answer from the survivor side made Shanna Todd's face light up. It was obvious that she knew who the adult the survivor was talking about was, but she also had doubts.

"Him? Why is he free?"

"It is precisely because he is the Demon of Destruction that that gentleman is free. He hates the Demon of Destruction more than any of you. Moreover, he happens to be on a search and rescue mission in Nazionale City."

"Understood. Now I just hope that this spacecraft can last until it makes an emergency landing in Nanosino City, otherwise he will only be able to watch the fireworks."

After cutting off the communication, Shanna Todd also focused on driving the spacecraft and made an emergency landing towards Nasino City. But facing the Apokolips forces attacking from both sides, the spacecraft driven by Shanna was like a small boat in the storm, and it could change at any time.

They are all in danger of destruction. Fortunately, the Apocalypse Demon troops on the front are large in number, but their minions cannot tear apart the appearance of their spaceship at all. They can only rely on their huge numbers and suicidal attacks to continuously slow down the flight speed of their spacecraft.

So that another force chasing behind, called the Destruction Demons, can catch up with her. Only the pursuit team composed of fifteen Destruction Demons is what Shanna is most worried about. In front of their minions, her spaceship is useless.

, and their powerful bodies, even if one enters the spacecraft, can carry out a one-sided massacre of their team. Even I, with all my strength, can only deal with one.

The boundless Apocalypse Demon troops lay in front of the spacecraft, and their suicide attacks were effective. They continued to explode, and the shock waves generated hindered the speed of the spacecraft. When Shana finally drove the spacecraft to break through the encirclement network formed by the Apocalypse Demon,

The Destruction Demon chasing behind him was already close at hand and could pounce on the spacecraft at any time. Doctor Manhattan, who was watching all this from inside the spacecraft, naturally would not let this happen.

He still needed the people on this spacecraft to lead him to the human survival point. Just when Dr. Manhattan was about to use his ability to move the spacecraft further forward, he stopped. Because he could sense that a

A powerful life form is rapidly approaching here.

"Look! What is that!"

Just as Shana was concentrating on piloting the spaceship to race against time, a person in the team looked at a black spot outside the porthole and suddenly shouted. Everyone also looked at the porthole, including Shana, and started discussing at the same time.

"That's a bird?"

"Is it a plane?"

"No, it's that adult!"

As the team's discussion amplified, Dr. Manhattan also saw a figure wearing a half-covered mask brushing against his spaceship. Behind the spacecraft, the Apocalypse Demonic Forces who had previously formed a net around the spacecraft from the earth were also in this figure.

There was a panic when they appeared. They were supposed to be fearless killing machines that loyally carried out the orders of Apokolips, but when this figure appeared, they began to howl, which was the smell of fear!

They tried to escape, but before they could make any effective evasive action, the Apocalypse Demonic Army that flew from the earth spontaneously ignited in the air without wind, and the howling of fear stopped abruptly.

In less than a second, the huge army of Apocalypse Demons turned into fly ash in the air and slowly dissipated, leaving only the fifteen unaffected, chasing squad called the Destruction Demons.

But Dr. Manhattan could see that it was not that the fifteen Destruction Demons were not affected, but that the flames that effectively killed the Apocalypse Demon had no effect on them. Their body density was enough to withstand the attack of this mysterious man. But it was not uncomfortable either.

, the burning red body slowly faded away, returning to its ugly appearance. The spacecraft also forcibly stopped in the air, and then slowly landed towards the ground.

The Destruction Demons did not launch an attack immediately. Being more advanced than the Apocalypse Demons, they also had some wisdom of their own. They understood how powerful this mysterious man was who was blocking them. Presumptuous attacks would only cause injuries and loss of personnel on their own side.

The spacecraft landed safely, and everyone who survived the disaster breathed a sigh of relief. As the captain, Shanna Todd wiped the sweat from her forehead and complained to the rescuer through the broadcast channel: "You guy, you always

You can catch up at the critical moment, you almost died, you know!"

"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. You know, I'm busy. Okay, you just stay in the boat. I'll have a good chat with you after I take care of them."

On the channel, the mysterious man's teasing words came, giving Dr. Manhattan a familiar feeling. Through the spaceship, he also saw the back of the young man who was confronting the Demon of Destruction. He looked so familiar. At the same time, the young man's back was facing these.

The Demon of Destruction also said: "You guys, you guys chased you all the way from Apokolips to here just because you have some genes similar to mine. Didn't I kill you back then or what, but now you are so arrogant? Although

They have similar genes, but humans and chimpanzees had the same ancestor millions of years ago, and we didn’t see everyone living together peacefully in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". So, have you done your prayers before you die?"

"Hey, hey, surnamed Ke, where did you come from with so many naughty words? Hurry up and get rid of them! I miss the barbecue in the base!" The impatient Shana was also urging this old acquaintance who came to the rescue through the microphone.

Obviously, she has enough confidence in his ability to kill the Demon of Destruction.

"Yes, yes, barbecue, no problem. I will eat barbecue tonight to help you with the wind and dust, so you can just watch it carefully, my transformation!"

As he spoke, Dr. Manhattan also noticed that on his waist, a red gem appeared from his abdomen and was embedded there. At the same time, he made a transformation gesture and shouted: "Transformation (Henshin)!"
