I want to have a date with 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 is broken." Dr. Manhattan said.

"What?" Harley's face was full of absurdity, "Are you a crazy fan of Superman?"

"What do you need most when you're horny?" 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. The 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 1985 alien octopus invasion was Veidt'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 never understood why my world was destined to be destroyed by war.

In search of answers, I came to this multiverse and I tried to destroy it.

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

Harley's expression was twisted. 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 contradictions 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 it unites heroes and criminals from different countries to resist despair that they cannot resist no matter what.

Even in the face of destruction, they fell with a common 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 for 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.

How much they loved him once, now they hate him a hundredfold.

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 putting the United States 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 spent his entire life immersed in despair.

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.

There is no good hope, and 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 kid, and it wasn't until later that I discovered that he could represent more meanings.

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

With strong strength, a pair of excellent adoptive parents, and a simple growing environment, I am repeating Clark Kent’s training process.

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

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

"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 destroyed it and merged it into this universe. "Dr. Manhattan's voice turned cold.

"How was he destroyed?" Harley asked softly.

"Just like what you did to me. What they did to him, projected into this newly integrated world, is the evil 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 holds a baby, he calls him Clark

Blue Manhattan is holding a four- or five-year-old little Clark, standing on the Martian desert, 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, Hallie 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, and the charming mature woman 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 is better, but Blue Clark is clearly happier.

Pictures flashed through, of him and Lisa's childhood sweethearts, growing up happily.

A perfect adoptive parent, a beautiful and lovely partner, he fell in love with Lisa and got married. His life is still imitating Superman, working as a reporter during the day, and when someone needs him, he turns into the "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 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the military asked Blue Superman to join the war.

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

Blue Superman has a hydrogen atom symbol on his forehead, but he does have 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 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 emotions 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 naturally won't pose any threat to us. "

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

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."

Almost a reenactment of the cavalry raiding Angela's house with tachyon cannons, Blue Clark said to Lisa in despair.

Outside there is a group of heavily armed 'cavalry' - 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 save 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 kind of happy ending can there be for someone who is left with an orphan and a widowed mother?" Harley said.

"You keep looking down."
