The Knights of the DC House

The third update of a belated Christmas~

In the human survivor base on Earth in the branch future, Dr. Manhattan looked at Superman in this branch future and fell silent after saying hello. Speaking of which, this should be considered the first time he met Superman under such circumstances.

, if there was no guy like Ke Wen who was blocking it, then at this time, I should have created a series of conflicts and led the world's malice to Superman before officially appearing in front of Superman.

When Superman was in dire straits, he kept stimulating Superman with the so-called truth. Whether it was the death of his adoptive parents, the malice of the world, or the death of his comrades, it was all because of himself, thus irritating Superman and achieving the ending he wanted, an angry

Superman shook his fist at himself, deciding his future or that of the multiverse.

But this future no longer exists. Since the appearance of Ke Wen, the changes made have disrupted everything he originally set in this new 52 multiverse. Some traces of the old 52 universe have been preserved, and Superman's adoptive parents have not died.

, although Dr. Manhattan later arranged various accidents based on Superman's encounters, it was also because Ke Wen died without a cure. Not only that, Dr. Manhattan also interrupted his experiments on Superman and temporarily left the main universe.

It was not until this return that Dr. Manhattan appeared here after noticing that the future had become unobservable and divided into three branch futures. Under this strange situation, he had a battle with Superman who was supposed to have a fateful battle.

Meet like this.

To be honest, for Dr. Manhattan, such a meeting is quite strange, and it is completely outside of the future he predicted. Ever since Ke Wen, a big flapping moth, flapped his wings blindly, the so-called prediction of the future has basically become a decoration. See you

Doctor Manhattan fell into silence after greeting himself. This branch of future Superman, which represents darkness and doomsday, also laughed, stepped to one side, and made an inviting gesture.

"Come in and sit down. I have also learned about you from Ke Wen over the years, and Bruce also left me a file before disappearing. I know you, Dr. Manhattan, and I know what you have done to me.

, but for now, no matter what you have done to me, it will not affect the conversation between us, will it?"

Hearing this, Dr. Manhattan did not refuse Superman's invitation, and walked in first, and Superman followed. The door closed, and the two gods on earth also sat down on the table. Looking at the hot tea that had been prepared, Superman

After pouring a glass for Dr. Manhattan, he also said: "I think you can drink this, after all, you are omniscient and omnipotent."

Superman did not tease. For Dr. Manhattan, things like taste and smell can exist as long as he wants to. Ignoring the temperature, he drank the hot tea that Superman poured for him, and then looked at Superman to speak.

"I never thought we would meet in this way, and I never thought I would meet a different Superman."

"Of course, in your imagination, we should have the so-called fateful battle on Mars, or on the ruins burning with fire, and I will not be like now, wearing casual clothes, but wearing my

I'm wearing a battle uniform and wielding my iron fist, but speaking of which, my hand is also an iron fist."

Showing off his prosthetic limb, Superman also had an indescribable indifference in his words.

"He didn't lie to me?"

"Little Conan has no problem telling you about the beginning and end of this future. Even now, I still haven't figured out how Darkseid obtained the technology to recreate the Doomsday, nor how he created such an army.

The truth has long been buried in the past. At that time, we were all overwhelmed by sadness and anger. We were as calm as possible without rushing to Apokolips for revenge. Even so, we paid the price."

When Superman said this, Dr. Manhattan also glanced at the building where Superman was located, and his eyes stayed on the photo hanging behind Superman for a few seconds. Lex Luthor, Diana Prince,

Martian Manhunter, Bruce Wayne, Lois Lane... photos of familiar characters are placed here. This is an ancestral hall! The photos placed here also represent the future, on this Apokolips.

People who keep dying during the war!

"A heavy price. Even now, you are still paying such a price, but you still haven't answered my question. The words of Ke Wen's son did not deceive me, and you have no need to deceive me, but he has nothing to do with the people before he was born.

He is not completely aware of the matter, at least he does not know what his speciality is, he is the Doomsday, the original Doomsday mother body, right."

The determined tone made Superman, who was drinking tea there, pause for a moment. He finished his cup of tea before continuing the conversation with Dr. Manhattan.

"How did you figure it out? Only Ke Wen and I know about this matter. Kara and Conan don't know." When asking Dr. Manhattan in this way, Superman confirmed this statement. He was just curious about Ke Wen's words, because

His Butterfly Effect, how did Dr. Manhattan, who had lost the ability to observe the future and look back into the past, discover this?

"Ke Wen has told you about me, so you should know how I was born. I observe the future and look back on the past, including plurality and uniqueness. If I only rely on observing the future and looking back on the past to understand the beginning and end of things, then

It's you and him who are looking down on me."

After talking about this, Superman could also feel that the human side of Dr. Manhattan sitting opposite him was beginning to become more intense, but this was not enough. So since Dr. Manhattan asked, Superman didn't mind answering his questions.

"You are right, Conan, it can be said to be another day of destruction."

"It all started when Batman lost his mind and attacked the Apokolips war, right?"

"Well, Conan told you, we encountered an entire new group of dark elites there, a Darkseid beyond our imagination, and the real Doomsday, the Doomsday Legion that came to the earth before.

He was cloned using him as a template. In that case, I really couldn't see any hope. The power of Doomsday has exceeded the understanding of me, Ke Wen, and Batman. He has grown into a complete body.

The power alone makes me despair, but he also awakened an ability called Doomsday Spores.

Even if you don’t do any damage, just standing there can swallow up all life, including the planet. It can be said that if the Doomsday Sun cannot be controlled and attacks without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy at the critical moment, Ke Wen and I would never be able to come back. Da.

Kesaide was also seriously injured in the battle and temporarily escaped from Apokolips under the protection of the Dark Elite, leaving only Ke Wen and I to fight the Doomsday.

The battle made Ke Wen and I despair. Even I have a hard time getting rid of the Doomsday spores he evolved. These spores can infect other living beings and subtly erode the living beings and transform them. Because I can overcome the problem of death.

One characteristic is that killing him has no use. On the contrary, the being who kills Doomsday will be infected with the spores, corroded by Doomsday, and reborn to become a more powerful Doomsday in the body of an existence that defeated itself!"

Dr. Manhattan was silent. It seemed that the changes made by Ke Wen were more terrifying than his disturbance of the New 52 universe. At least before his disturbance and restart, the Doomsday in the past universe was not so terrifying. This is purely an unsolvable problem.

Monster! But Superman can stand here and remain intact, which means that at that time, Ke Wen killed Doomsday and got rid of the influence of Doomsday's spores.

"How did Ke Wen defeat him?" For such a powerful creature as Doomsday, Doctor Manhattan also changed the title from it to him.

"That's not a defeat, it's just a trick. There are three universes on his body, the homologues of the Doomsday, and the Planet Destroyer Armor. Although it is not as powerful as the Doomsday of the main universe, it still has the same characteristics.

, to overcome death. He sacrificed this armor to limit the invasion of Doomsday spores, and used the momentary gap brought by this restriction to dig out the heart of Doomsday, and use the Doomsday armor and Doomsday spores to

Doom itself is condensed into this heart.

It is still filled with the consciousness of destroying everything, but as a heart, after being restricted in it, and restricted by Ke Wen's destruction armor, he has also lost the ability to corrode other life forms, but cannot be destroyed and erased. Despite this, we

Still paid the price, the lives of Lena Luthor and Zatanna Zatara."

At this point, Dr. Manhattan also understood. He had also been thinking about it before. Conan had said before that he was the reason why he was empty, but in essence there was still a problem. Even as a hybrid Kryptonian, Conan's life level was higher than

On top of the Yamadam Spirit Stone, even if Ke Wen implants the Yamadam Spirit Stone into his son's body, he will use the energy absorption properties of the Yamadam Spirit Stone to repair Kara's injuries, and at the same time, his own

The son can absorb enough nutrients.

But this approach is like filling a sea with a bucket. It's not impossible, but it will take a long, long time. But this Yamadam spirit stone was already passive before it was implanted in Conan's body.

As for the hands and feet, for example, if they have been swallowed by the heart of Doomsday and are disguised as Yamadam spiritual stones, the effect will be different.

"You and he would actually do this, without telling your wife (sister)." Dr. Manhattan still raised questions, because this is not the style of these two people. If they do it at all costs for revenge, even themselves

If relatives can be sacrificed, then Dr. Manhattan has already won. He has proven that Superman will become like him, or even worse, Ke Wen's insistence is wrong.

When Dr. Manhattan said this, Superman also smiled bitterly.

"How is this possible? If we had known that the Doomsday Heart had swallowed up the Yamadamu Spiritual Stone before implantation, we would not have done it at all. We would rather implant it into our own bodies.

Under unavoidable circumstances, he turned into the Doomsday and fought to the death with Darkseid. Ke Wen's idea at the time was to implant the spiritual stone to repair Kara's physical injuries as much as possible while delaying the birth of little Conan so that he would not have to be born in this world.

Bad times.

But contrary to expectations, neither he nor I thought that this heart would devour the most suitable thing for itself in Ke Wen's so-called system space, the Yamadam spirit stone, and disguised itself as it, deceiving Ke Wen and I.

Wen, by the time this heart disguised as the Yamadam spirit stone was integrated with little Conan, it was already too late. But here’s the strange thing. Ke Wen and I were both prepared to pay the price with our lives.

While trying to save Kara, little Conan, whose heart was integrated with Doomsday, did not go berserk.

He did not become a little Doomsday in our perception, he was just himself. Then he was born in a war against Darkseid. While Ke Wen and I were puzzled, we could only

The strange thing that can be attributed to life is that an unconscious child did not go crazy when being corroded by the heart of Doomsday, nor did it tear apart the protection of its mother's body. On the contrary, he was born as a baby. Perhaps this is also an arrangement of fate.

Bar.

Seeing the birth of Conan, Ke Wen and I kept the secret while also observing him and watching him grow up. Ke Wen was qualified as a father. He was worried that his son would one day become a

A monster that destroys everything, but before he turned into a monster, he was still his son, a child born at an inappropriate time. He had to let him have a normal childhood. Although this childhood was accompanied by war, there were many people around him.

At least I have parents, playmates, and a normal education.

Then he continued to grow, receive training, and education until he grew up and became active as Kamen Rider Kuuga. Both Ke Wen and I knew that Conan and his group would be the new hope.

What he has to do is to protect them before they can stand alone. If possible, Ke Wen and I both hope that their generation will rebuild a new earth in the ruins instead of following us and investing in the war against Dakse

In the battle of Germany.”

It was a beautiful and innocent wish. Dr. Manhattan could not blame Ke Wen and Superman for their decisions. If he stood in the perspective of these two people at that time, he would have only one idea, and that would be to merge this

Take out the baby in the heart of Doomsday and banish it to an abandoned universe or a black hole. You won't take any risks. Compared with hundreds of millions of lives and a life that has not been born with self-consciousness, it is simply

Multiple choice questions.

Just like he did in his own Watcher universe, the man named Pharaoh, known as the smartest human being, simulated his energy operation at that time and created a big explosion on Manhattan Island, coupled with the previous target.

My own interrogation. I exchanged the lives of millions of people for the possibility of World War III breaking out at any time and affecting the lives of billions of people around the world.

The two poles of the world cooperate to fight against this powerful enemy of their own. As the saying goes, in the face of an enemy that cannot be resisted by a single force, human beings will abandon their previous thoughts of fighting each other and fight against the enemy together, creating a false peace.

But false peace is also peace. He compromised and therefore left his own Watcher universe.

But in the branched future history restored by Superman, Conan, and others, he seems to understand something, but it seems like he understands nothing.

"Then what is the purpose of your meeting with me, Superman?" Dr. Manhattan, who was once again lost in thought, also looked at Superman and asked directly.

"It's nothing, I just want to let you know more clearly. At the same time, I also want to know what kind of existence the quantum God who once wanted to push me into despair was in Ke Wen's words in the past. Now it seems that, in fact,

You, like me, are both blessed by fate but also cursed. We have all become omniscient and omnipotent gods in an environment that does not belong to us. No one can understand our pain and our troubles.

But the difference between me and you is that even if there are people around me who don’t understand my pain and troubles, when danger comes, they will not give up, and they will not stop their progress because of a god like me.

There is no one by your side. I don’t know the purpose of your coming here from the past. If it is for a decisive battle with me or with Ke Wen, then you don’t need to go to Ke Wen. I can just fight with you. I think, I

I should be able to beat you."

In the end, Superman still had that sunny smile, but his aura also became dangerous, a danger that even Dr. Manhattan, the quantum god, could feel.

"No rush, before that, I also want to ask you a question, and I hope you can answer me, and then I will decide whether to start a decisive battle between us."

"explain."

"Do you hate him? Do you hate him for letting you know the truth about the restart cycle of the universe? Do you hate him for breaking this cycle and causing this dark and doomsday future? Everything you have lost could have been restored through restarting.

Starting from scratch, you will never reach this future."

The person Dr. Manhattan talks about naturally refers to Ke Wen. In Dr. Manhattan's view, from the moment Ke Wen chooses to break and restart, there is nothing wrong with such a doomsday and a dark future.

Superman laughed.

"Hate? Of course I hate him. I hate that he didn't tell me the truth about all this. Instead, with his influence, the butterfly effect step by step made us all at a loss. But why should I hate him? He has been there from beginning to end.

I didn't do anything wrong. I wanted a normal life, and he gave it to me. Bruce always wanted to take off his cape, and he almost did it. With three wives and six children, he should be happier than all of us.

Rather than hating him, it would be better to say that I hate the fickleness of fate. It was hard to get a future that everyone wanted and we could move forward hand in hand, but he made such a big joke on us and made us lose everything.

Because of this, I will not compromise, nor will I regret it, nor will I choose to reverse time and restart again. That is a sign of cowardice. We have to prove to fate that even so, this is not a

A future full of darkness and doomsday.

It is a dark future before the dawn of a new era. As long as this darkness is broken through, a better new era is right in front of us. What's more, when it comes to hate, as someone who has experienced all this and cannot stop it,

He probably hates himself more than I do."

Lowering his head, Superman sighed and calmed down before saying: "Then let's get started. Before this new dawn comes, you'd better not make trouble, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Superman discovered that Dr. Manhattan, who had just been sitting opposite him, had disappeared and left the building. A photo was left where Dr. Manhattan was sitting. He picked it up in confusion.

Looking at the photo, looking at the man holding the woman in his arms and smiling so cheerfully, Superman was also confused.

"What's this?" he muttered.

At the same time, in the confrontation between the Wall of Origin and the fortress made by Apokolips in the Iron Planet Fortress, a blue light flashed, and the figure of Dr. Manhattan appeared in the palace. And in front of him, the middle-aged Ke Wen from the branch future was also standing there,

Welcome the arrival of Dr. Manhattan.

"I'm here to find you, Kamen Rider Ryuki, Ke Wen."

"I'm waiting."

The all-knowing and all-powerful Quantum God has crossed the long river of time, and in this unpredictable branch future, he fights against the Dark Lord with his own power. The Kamen Rider No. 1 of this DC multiverse, named Ke Wen, once again rides.
