Superman

Decompose matter...

The second generation Rorschach clearly remembered that he had seen Dr. Manhattan turn a tank into atomic dust on a TV show.

At that time, the military vigorously promoted this human being who became a god due to an accident, and even said the classic saying——

"God exists and He is American!"

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

There is no soft blue light, nor is he bald, and he is wearing clothes...

This is completely inconsistent with the external image of Dr. Manhattan.

"I'm sorry, you got the wrong person."

Luke shook his head, he was not that exhibitionist who liked to walk birds.

After he collected enough information, he began to search for the whereabouts of the Pharaoh.

From the second generation Rorschach entering the police cell, rescuing the puppet and the mime, and then entering the secret base in the sewer.

Luke watched them all and followed him all the way here.

After Dr. Manhattan left the Watchmen universe, the only person in the world worth meeting in person was probably Adrian Veidt.

If Luke had to choose a suitable helper to deal with the hot blue man walking the bird on Mars.

Pharaoh is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

He knew Dr. Manhattan so well that he even found something he could exploit in a "god" who had no weaknesses at all.

The humanity is disappearing day by day, the emotions are becoming more and more indifferent...Adrian is the first person besides the comedian to notice this.

Dr. Manhattan once witnessed a comedian shooting a pregnant woman. He could have stopped it, but he didn't.

President Nixon asked him to participate in the war, and he could refuse, but he didn't.

Because Dr. Manhattan can foresee the future, time intervals have no impact on him.

His thoughts can appear in the past and the future at the same time, just like walking freely in an empty room.

Therefore, in Dr. Manhattan's view, everything that happens is a predetermined trajectory.

He just observes but does not actively intervene.

The Pharaoh took advantage of this and completed his plan.

Even though Dr. Manhattan knew everything, his absolutely calm and rational thinking told him that Adrian was right.

Therefore, he chose to kill Rorschach, who might lead to the outbreak of war and increase variables.

But he spared the Pharaoh who caused a massacre and made himself the scapegoat.

Because in Dr. Manhattan's mind, human anger, hatred, and contempt have no impact on him.

He just felt that the earth was too complicated and wanted to leave, which was exactly what Adrian expected to see.

"Who are you?"

The Pharaoh looked slightly solemn.

Luke has demonstrated terrifying abilities that are different from ordinary people.

This reminded him, like Rorschach II, of Dr. Manhattan.

"Can't the smartest man in the world guess it?"

Luke smiled, he used space teleportation to suddenly appear, and then decomposed the screwdriver that attacked.

Through his performance, he initially shocked the Pharaoh.

In this world, except for Dr. Manhattan, there are no real superpowers.

The earliest batch of cross-dressing heroes were composed of a group of police officers with a strong sense of justice.

They found that the law alone could not give those criminals the sanctions they deserved. The other party could still get away with it by hiring a lawyer or other means.

Therefore, the police put on masks and fancy clothes after get off work, and personally punished the villains.

It's because he never lies during normal chats or questions.

Dr. Manhattan could detect abnormalities in the Pharaoh's heartbeat, subtle changes in his expression, or read his thoughts at any time - even though the other party had never done that.

But Adrian needs to take this into consideration.

Every time he faced Dr. Manhattan, he used honesty, the art of language, and even constantly hypnotized himself so that the other party did not notice the problem.

"I want to leave this universe."

Luke looked at Pharaoh, the self-proclaimed smartest man in the world. His heartbeat was steady, his breathing was gentle, and he had a cautious expression on his face, but this was just a disguise.

The other party must be planning his own plan in his head.

"Leave...the universe?"

Adrian hesitated.

"Yes, isn't this modified Night Owl airship the tool you prepared to track Dr. Manhattan?"

Whoosh!

Luke raised his hand and pulled off the dust-proof cloth, immediately creating a choking dust that made everyone else cover their faces and cough.

"Did I say something wrong?"

The Pharaoh shook his head. He had indeed made full preparations to find the "God" of the Watcher universe.

But why would the other party know this?

For a moment, Adrian's thoughts were confused and he thought of many things.

"But before we leave, we still have some time to chat."

Luke, who was completely in the driver's seat, lightly snapped his fingers, and the puppets and pantomimes inside the base, as well as Rorschach II, were instantly teleported out.

In the chaotic space, only he and the Pharaoh were left.

"What to talk about?"

Adrian held his breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Let's start with your non-existent cancer."

Luke tossed the first chip lightly.

"...You also know this?"

Pharaoh's expression finally changed, and he once again experienced the feeling of facing Dr. Manhattan.

Omniscient and omnipotent!

There are no secrets at all!

Could it be said that the departure of one "god" caused the emergence of another "god"?
