The Knights of the DC House

A broken, lifeless earth is floating in the universe. According to Dr. Manhattan's observation, this lifeless earth will not have any celestial impact on the current earth. It can be understood as a relatively large meteorite.

, floating in space, as time passes, this lifeless earth will also leave the solar system, and will slowly break apart on the way out, turning into a small meteorite area.

But all this confused Dr. Manhattan. He couldn't figure out what was going on in the second branch of the future he entered. Why could he see the epitome of the Watcher universe he was in, but it was different from his own Watcher universe?

Completely different. In the mouths of these former comrades, why do they call Ke Wen the savior? The impact of human emotions makes Dr. Manhattan almost confused how to think, especially since he entered this branch of the future, what he said

If so, every move he made was expected by the savior Ke Wen.

"Relax, Joe, you look much different now than the one we know. Do you remember during the Vietnam War? You never acted like this when I did something wrong."

On the side, a member of the Watchers named Comedian, whose real name is Edward Morgan Frank. A guy with a lot of bad records. In the history of the Watchers universe, he committed numerous crimes while participating in the Vietnam War, but he

And because of what he did, he was tortured, that is, when he saw a familiar person again, he was able to speak frankly about the mistakes he had made, and still teased Dr. Manhattan.

"Frank, you..." Seeing the gray-haired comedian teasing himself, Dr. Manhattan, who recovered from his surprise, looked at all this and began to force himself to return to a rational state. He wanted to restore the truth from it.

"Okay, Joe, let me talk directly to save everyone's time." On the side, Pharaoh also interrupted Dr. Manhattan's backtracking and began to explain the ins and outs of all this. "Do you still remember the layout?

Everything was put on your head. Because of your strength, the whole world began to put aside their prejudices and unite against the enemy, just to deal with you. For this reason, you chose to compromise, leave, and kill Rorschach."

"Yes, from that time on, I was completely disappointed with human beings, and I didn't think I was a human being."

This is something that Dr. Manhattan has experienced. He will never forget it, and it is also something that Pharaoh is least likely to forget, because he did scheme against a god and successfully made him compromise. Even if the price is that the god will never be forgotten again.

Being able to believe in humans is something worth bragging about until the day he dies.

But the Pharaoh also smiled bitterly at this moment.

"Yeah, I won at that time, but I also lost. Although the false peace is also peace, it is false after all. Once the veil is penetrated, what will happen is a violent storm. For this truth, you killed

Rorschach, leave the universe we live in. But things are always beyond your imagination. Rorschach died, but before he died, when he and Nite Owl came to the Arctic base to find me, he left a book of dates, Rorschach.

Summer Diary, which describes a series of inferences and clues from when Frank was killed by me in a diary style.

It was stopped until he and Ye Xiao came to the Arctic base, but it was enough. This diary was left by Rorschach in a newspaper office, and it happened to be published. The fat-headed editor only thought about popularity, gimmicks, sales, and traffic.

I never thought what would happen once this matter came to light, or what impact it would have so early."

When he said this, the Pharaoh's expression became ferocious. Even though more than ten years have passed and he has changed from a middle-aged young man to an old man in his sixties, he still cannot forget this matter.

But through Pharaoh's explanation, Dr. Manhattan also understood the subsequent outcome. It was simply that this false peace was exposed. It was exposed too early. As a result, the two superpowers who finally gave up nuclear war because of their powerful threats were finally understanding

After they were tricked, the Cold War started again. Peace was shattered at the first touch, and war could come at any time. Everything was like a prank, a joke played by God on them.

"Yes, as you can imagine, when this Rorschach diary was exposed prematurely, everything I planned became a joke. I had nothing and was wanted all over the world. While they wanted me, they did not forget

We began to prepare for war, and the world at that time was really on the verge of destruction."

At this point, Pharaoh's expression was indescribably wonderful. All his plans were perfect. Whether it was plotting against Manhattan or making the two superpowers cease fire, he did it all. But he was just like Dr. Manhattan.

Everything was calculated accurately, but human nature was not taken into account, and a diary was not taken into account. A truth that came too soon made all these calculations come to naught.

"That's why I left then, but why are you here, Frank, Rorschach, and how did you two survive."

"Hahaha, all this is thanks to this belated doomsday." On the side, the same old comedian also laughed, "Because of this doomsday, they who parted ways came together again

, trying to find you and find a solution. But they were short of manpower and could only take another approach. Adrian built a time shuttle and went back to the past where he killed me to save me.

I took Rorschach away, and then by tracing your energy mark, I came to the universe you went to.

This universe is full of real superheroes, entering the 21st century. But this universe entering the 21st century, hey, it doesn’t look like much, it’s not much different from us, really.”

The comedian's sinister words made Dr. Manhattan instinctively feel that something was wrong. On the other side, Rorschach, who had been killed by him, also gave an explanation.

"We followed your traces and came to this universe, but maybe we came at the wrong time. Everyone on the earth in this universe is crazy. Everyone is killing each other, and wars can be seen everywhere, including those superheroes. They are against

The earth caused the greatest damage. When we arrived, we happened to be involved in a dispute. If we hadn't been rescued, maybe we wouldn't be alive now."

Cannibalism? War? Dr. Manhattan also caught the keyword. Obviously, in this future timeline, there was no incident of the arrival of the Doomsday Legion, nor was there a war on Apokolips, but a major event no worse than the war on Apokolips swept the earth.

, causing the earth to enter a situation of all-out war. But Dr. Manhattan still doesn’t understand what kind of major event will plunge the entire earth, including the superheroes, into a war of killing each other?

But for Dr. Manhattan's questions, the members of the Watchers who appeared here could not answer them, because when they came, the big event had already happened, and they just happened to meet and were saved by Ke Wen. Even if Dr. Manhattan didn't ask,

It can also be guessed that it was Ke Wen who saved them in that dispute. Compared with this, Dr. Manhattan is more curious about how Ke Wen managed to merge the two universes into one, and what happened to the whole world in that dispute.

What is the big event where superheroes are caught in a war.

All of this needs Ke Wen to answer, and just when Dr. Manhattan was curious about it, the person he was waiting for appeared on the still empty street. The Ke Wen of this future timeline was waiting for him at the end of the road.

Next to him was a young man who looked similar to him. Needless to say, Dr. Manhattan could also tell that this was also the child of Ke Wen in this timeline, different from the one he saw in the Apokolips War timeline.

In the timeline of the Apokolips War, the child named Conan is the descendant of Ke Wen and Super Girl Kara. The young man in front of him is definitely not. In him, Dr. Manhattan did not feel that he had absorbed the core of the mother body's Doomsday similar to Conan.

, thus sublimating the innately powerful life fluctuations, looking like an ordinary person. Not only Ke Wen's children, but also Ke Wen in this timeline, in the eyes of Dr. Manhattan, his life level can be clearly felt.

Compared with the king Ke Wen whom I met before, this Ke Wen, who is called the savior by his friends, is too ordinary. He is as ordinary as all the ordinary people he has met.

"Ha, no more, no less, the time is just right. Son, I'll leave it to you to buy supper for your mother tonight. By the way, remember to take care of your sister too, do you know?"

At the end of the road, there was no savior like Ke Wen, the king of the future timeline of the Apokolips War, Ke Wen, who ignored all temperament. He just stood there, looking at the time on his watch, and joking directly to his son.

And in this so-called savior's timeline, Ke Wen's son just rolled his eyes.

"If you want to have late-night snacks with this guy outside, just say so. You have the nerve to make this bet with me, knowing that I will definitely lose. Well, I really accepted your bad taste, dad."

"Hey, here comes the problem again. I've told you more than once that as a Kamen Rider, the so-called guaranteed loss does exist, but..."

"As long as you are idealistic, everything is possible, right? This is not in line with the laws of the universe, but it is very consistent with Kamen Rider. Then you still let me learn so many things." The son of the savior Ke Wen took over his father's words and said

Na said, obviously, the savior of this timeline, Ke Wen, is constantly instilling in his descendants the idea that everything can be idealistic, which makes Dr. Manhattan feel that this is not a savior, but a complete bastard.

"Okay, if you want to chat, you have a lot of time, but I think meeting him is what you need most right now. I won't interrupt your conversation. Let's go have supper with our students first.

"

Behind him, among the members of the Watch, Daniel Dreiberg, the second-generation Night Owl, was also teasing. Instead, it was Dr. Manhattan who asked confusedly because of his friend's words.

"student?"

"Yes, Ke Xue, his son's name, his daughter was also born last year, named Ke Lan."

Listening to these two names, Dr. Manhattan also fell into deep thought. And his friends in the Watcher universe also passed over him and followed the young man named Ke Xue. In this savior timeline, Ke Wen's son left first.

, leaving only Ke Wen and himself in this timeline. Watching his son leave, the savior Ke Wen turned around, looked at Dr. Manhattan, and said hello.

"Oh, looking at your expression, you must have seen me in another timeline. Well, I guess you have even seen my son in another timeline, otherwise I wouldn't be like this."

"...I have to say, you are quite casual about naming your children."

"Ha, whatever you want is fine. After living for so many years, I'm tired, so I want to be comfortable. Tell me about what I experienced in another timeline."

With his hands in his pockets, the savior Ke Wen, who was over fifty years old but did not look old at all, walked up to Dr. Manhattan and asked.

"Actually, I'm more curious about your current status than telling you about things in another timeline. In my perception, you are just an ordinary person, but everything you have done, including predicting my arrival, arranged

The emergence of the earth should not be something you, as an ordinary person, can do. Who do you think you are now, Ke Wen?"

Regarding Dr. Manhattan's curiosity, Ke Wen just spread his hands and said helplessly: "As you can perceive, I am just an ordinary person. It's just that I, an ordinary person, can mobilize the power of the universe, and even through resonance, I can obtain and

Part of the information about my similar universe. Although it is not very specific, it is enough. When you left another timeline and prepared to go to other timelines, I made some moves and asked you to come over to me first, because there are some things that need you.

help."

"You can describe yourself as an ordinary person with hands and feet that I can't even notice. It's so humble."

But through the words of the savior Ke Wen, Dr. Manhattan also understood the state of the savior Ke Wen in front of him at this moment. As Ke Wen said, the savior Ke Wen in front of him is just an ordinary person, but this ordinary person created a new world.

Universe, a new universe that combines the new DC universe and the Watchmen universe. In other words, the savior Ke Wen in front of us can be said to be the creator of the universe, so what if he is an ordinary person.

As long as he is still in this universe, no matter what kind of attack, conspiracy, or even a series of chain traps against Ke Wen, it is within his perception for Ke Wen. He does not even need to take any action on his own.

With just one thought, the power from this universe will arrange all kinds of accidents, so-called conspiracies, or wars, and those who are doing small things behind the scenes don't know what is happening.

In other words, as long as Dr. Manhattan is still in this savior's future branch line, he has no ability to kill Ke Wen in front of him. Of course, Ke Wen can't kill him either.

Dr. Manhattan, who understood the reason, also told the savior Ke Wen the whole story of the future timeline of the branch of the Apokolips war. Listening to Dr. Manhattan's account of several major events in the timeline of the Apokolips war, the savior Ke Wen's expression was sometimes surprised, and sometimes

It was also expected. Even when talking about myself in another timeline, when the son named Conan merged with the core of the Doomsday of the mother body and appeared as a brand new Kuuga, there was not much surprise. On the contrary, after the story was finished,

, also thinking thoughtfully there.

"Well, is that really the case? Then I probably have an idea of ​​what will happen to the third branch in the future."

"So, what exactly happened in this future, what happened to your universe, the Justice League, the Titans, and the people you care about."

When Dr. Manhattan asked the question he was concerned about, the expression on Ke Wen's face was also stagnant, and then he looked at Dr. Manhattan and said: "They, they are all here, but they are all dead. Only me is left.

I have my wife Lena."

The understatement made Dr. Manhattan feel like he was struck by lightning. He couldn't believe the words of the savior Ke Wen. His perception instantly expanded, covering the entire earth. He saw Metropolis, Gotham, Central City, and the underwater world.

Atlantis also saw those people who had died in the words of the savior Ke Wen, but as Ke Wen said, they were all dead!
