Chapter 383 Blue Superman

 In Harley's view, there are many ways to save the world, but Doctor Manhattan used the most drastic method - merging the universe, integrating the two universes into one, and restarting the world.

"Why?"

"Because this multiverse has torn apart Man." Dr. Manhattan said.

"What?" Harley said with a ridiculous face, "Are you a crazy fan of Superman?"

"When you're hungry, what do you need most?" Dr. Manhattan asked.

"Water and food..." Harley thought thoughtfully, "Can Superman meet your needs?"

"Superman's characteristic is hope, which always gives people hope, and the infinite hope that Superman represents is exactly what my home universe lacks the most," Dr. Manhattan said.

Harley frowned and said, "I don't quite understand. Superman's hope can solve the nuclear bomb crisis?"

"It's not just a nuclear bomb crisis. Human civilization on my planet is destined to be destroyed by internal war, which may be various forms of war.

Nuclear war is the most common.

Because mankind has no time to develop to a higher level of civilization, it will lead to self-destruction.

I stand at the end of time, looking at all possible futures, without hope.

The alien octopus invasion in 1985 was Werther's effort to save the world.

He succeeded and failed.

He successfully solved the nuclear bomb crisis that year, but only postponed the crisis by a few years.

I still don't understand why my world is destined to be destroyed by war.

In order to find the answer, I came to this multiverse and tried to destroy it.

In the process of its collapse, I found the answer." Dr. Manhattan said.

Harley's expression was distorted. In order to verify what she thought, she would destroy the multiverse?

——No one in the Watchers is normal.

However, the world Dr. Manhattan lives in seems to be closer to the real material world.

Not to mention pessimistic doomsdayers, many ordinary people also believe that the earth will be finished sooner or later due to environmental, climate, resource and other issues.

All internal conflicts of human beings may lead to the outbreak of war.

War is the most effective way to destroy those who create conflicts.

Dr. Manhattan continued: "In the process of destroying the multiverse, I discovered that no matter how much despair I bring to this world, Superman never gives up hope.

And his hope is so contagious that heroes and criminals from different countries unite to resist despair that they cannot resist no matter what.

Even in the face of destruction, they fell with the same hope.

Hope is a connector that connects everyone into a whole, so that human beings will no longer have internal disputes about life and death.

Even if human civilization still reaches its end one day, at least it will not be like my world, which is destined to be destroyed by internal war."

Harley looked stunned, her hopes and ideals were indeed very powerful.

Greater China was able to emerge from the shabby old era of warlord rule and be reborn because the Chinese people share a common hope—to make China rise again.

As long as this hope remains, China will never sink.

But can there really be a common hope among the entire human race and between countries?

"Do people in other countries, such as the Middle East and Russia, also love Superman and believe in the hope of Superman?" she asked.

Dr. Manhattan said: "I understand what you are thinking.

They only like Superman who does not participate in any form of politics and never kills people.

Once Superman breaks the rules, he immediately becomes the target of their crusade and curse.

They loved him so much before, but then they hated him a hundred times more.

In this universe, every country has its own superhero group. When I used a strategy to break Superman's halo, causing him to be misunderstood and killed, and the United States came first, Superman was immediately in a desperate situation and was rounded up by superheroes from various countries.

Even in a desperate situation where the universe was destroyed outside and everyone was hostile inside, Superman still did not lose hope and eventually infected everyone with hope."

"Alas, this kind of thing only happens in comics." Harley complained.

"Superman is the key!" Doctor Manhattan said: "When I changed Superman's fate so that he had no chance to become a hero, the universe could easily go to destruction.

From this, I concluded that the world needs hope, and hope is brought by Superman."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, this answer is very reasonable." Dr. Manhattan sighed humanely, "In my world, the Watcher team has the best group of humans.

But not only did I fail to bring hope to the world, but I helped the U.S. military spread fear and death (helping the military fight the Vietnam War).

Rorschach has been immersed in despair his entire life.

He walked around holding a sign saying 'The end is near' all day long, with no hope at all.

Although the comedian had a smiley face on his chest, he died of despair while crying.

The Pharaoh saved the world, but his method was death and deception, and there was no hope at all.

Without good hope, there is only suspicion and hostility between countries. The world will not be normal until it is destroyed."

"If you lack hope, you can cast a representative of hope. There is no need to merge the two universes together." Harley said.

"I tried." Dr. Manhattan said in a complex tone, "There are a couple in my world, the pantomime and the marionette. They are almost the projection of you and the clown in my world.

In 1984, they were robbing a bank in the Rockefeller Building. I received the news and rushed to stop them.

According to my original habit, I would kill any criminal who committed murder.

They killed many people at that time, but I let them go.

Because I saw that the puppet was pregnant and she didn't even know it.

And the son she is about to give birth to will bring great happiness to the woman I care about in the future."

Hallie immediately understood that the woman he cared about was Laurie. In 1984, they had not broken up yet.

"I didn't understand the specific reasons and methods at the time. I saw a blind spot in that child, and it wasn't until later that I discovered that he could represent more meanings.

I gave him almost half of my power and gave him to Laurie and Daniel to raise.

Strong strength, a pair of excellent adoptive parents, a simple growing environment... I am repeating Clark Kent's training process.

I hope that child can also become the Superman of my world, and his name will be ‘Clark’.”

Harley yelled, "That's ridiculous. You asked two crazy kids to become Superman. It's no wonder they succeeded."

"Do you think he's going to go bad?" Dr. Manhattan asked.

"Is not it?"

“He is a well-behaved and sensible boy, well-educated, kind and pure, with an innocent romance, who always maintains hope and firmly believes in the beauty of human nature.

He inherited almost everything good about Superman.

It was my world that destroyed him.

Since my world cannot accommodate beauty and hope, I will destroy it and merge it into this universe." Dr. Manhattan's voice became cold.

"How was he destroyed?" Harley asked softly.

"Just like what you did to me. What they did to him is projected into this newly integrated world, which is the evil deeds that happened in Tulsa last night." Dr. Manhattan said indifferently.

The next moment, Harley's consciousness was blurred, as countless scenes seemed to flash before her eyes.

Blue Manhattan is holding a baby and he calls him Clark...

Blue Manhattan is holding a four- or five-year-old Clark, standing on the desert of Mars, looking up into space. The boy is smiling, and Manhattan's face is also full of tenderness...

When he was seven years old, the little boy had a hydrogen atom symbol on his forehead, and his skin color turned dark blue...

Little Clark, wearing a small suit and carrying his suitcase alone, arrived at the door of a warm and comfortable villa with anxiety and expectation. A cute little girl opened the door for him.

Although she was young, in an instant, Harley recognized her as Laurie and Daniel's daughter Sally, the little bastard who reported her.

Sure enough, it was Laurie's home.

Little Clark only showed the mark on his forehead, but his charm was still mature, and his wife Laurie burst into tears and hugged him.

Laurie and Daniel adopted little Clark.

Little Clark grew up in a better environment than Dachao.

It's hard to compare the couple Laurie Daniel, and Martha Jonathan who are better, but Blue Clark is clearly happier.

Pictures flashed by, showing him and Lisa's childhood sweethearts and their happy growing up experiences.

Perfect adoptive parents, beautiful and lovely partners... He fell in love with Lisa and got married. His life is still imitating Superman. He works as a reporter during the day. When someone needs him, he turns into "Blue Superman"

'...

The screen flashed again, and a black general whispered: "He can give power to a child, which shows that the power of God can be transferred..."

It's actually Admiral Mark!

When the United States fell into the quagmire of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, the military asked Blue Superman to join the war.

Just like when they asked Blue Manhattan to join the Vietnam War.

Blue Superman has a hydrogen atom symbol on his forehead, but there is indeed a huge 'S' on his chest, which represents hope.

Of course he refused.

When the United States was preparing to attack Iran, and even wanted to provoke a conflict in the South China Sea to strangle a rapidly rising power, they repeatedly found Blue Superman - in their hearts, he was never a tear-up man, but a man who should belong to the Pentagon.

The second generation of Dr. Manhattan.

Blue Superman still firmly refused: I have only one mission, to bring hope to the world.

"I hope you are paralyzed!" Admiral Mark was angry and formally proposed the "Cyclops" plan.

"It doesn't matter even if he fails, he is Superman! And we all know that Blue Manhattan has no emotion and kills people like mowing grass, but Superman never kills people, he only gives people hope."

"That's right, we don't dare to attack Blue Manhattan, because if he could massacre ordinary people in Vietnam, he dared to massacre all his colleagues in Washington.

We dare to attack Blue Superman because he won't even hurt the most vicious criminals, so he won't pose any threat to us."

They hid in a dark underground secret room to discuss, and turned on tachyons...

Harry didn't want to see what happened next.

It's so miserable, so infuriating.

But Blue Manhattan just wanted her to see the bad things she did.

"They're already here, right outside, and there's nothing we can do."

It was almost a reenactment of the cavalry regiment's raid on Angela's house with tachyon cannons, Blue Clark said to Lisa in despair.

Outside, a group of heavily armed 'cavalry regiments' - the white gloves of the military.

Three children were crying upstairs, and the couple were saying goodbye downstairs.

"You are Superman, go and deal with them!" Lisa shouted excitedly like Angela.

Blue Clark shook his head gently like Black Manhattan, "I can't do it. At this moment, I have countless choices, and every choice I make will determine the future life of you and your children.

But there is only one choice that can prevent you from any harm, I'm sorry."

Only if he dies can his wife and children be safe, otherwise, they will never have peace.

"Fool, kill them all and make the remaining people terrified!" Harley shouted from the side.

"He can't, he is Superman, not me, nor the second generation Doctor Manhattan.

Moreover, this is indeed the best choice for him." Dr. Manhattan sighed.

"Are you out of your mind? What happy ending can there be for someone who is left with an orphan and a widowed mother?" Harley said.

"You keep looking down."
