Superman

Adrian was very puzzled. If the other party wanted to leave this universe, then with his strength, he didn't need to negotiate terms with him at all.

"Plus the marks left by Dr. Manhattan, that's the 'coordinates.'"

Luke added.

According to the original plot, the pharaoh traveled to the time and space of the main universe, and first met with Lex Luthor.

It was dubbed "the meeting of the two brightest minds in the world".

Then, Batman was designed, which made Gotham's dark knight severely devastated.

But all of this is meaningless. Dr. Manhattan has become very interested in the changes in the main universe and the existence of Superman.

The blue man was conducting an unprecedented observation, and he would not heed Pharaoh's persuasion at all.

"I need to go back and settle accounts with Dr. Manhattan."

Luke made it clear why he didn't take it by force.

It is because a wise man like Pharaoh would know how to choose.

Besides, why shake your fist when you can accomplish something in the form of a transaction.

As the supreme mage, negotiating conditions is his basic skill.

It's not too late to turn the table until we can't reach an agreement.

Also, Luke needs Adrian Waite, the best pawn against Dr. Manhattan.

"Then I would like to know, Mr. Anonymous, how do you plan to prevent the war? Russia has a total of 3530 nuclear bombs. Even if only one-third of them are fired, it is enough to turn the North American continent into scorched earth."

Pharaoh directly expressed his doubts in his heart, and he hoped that Luke could give a reasonable answer.

"This does not include the Pentagon's custom-made nuclear strike plan. I guess the United States will launch at least a thousand nuclear bombs into Russia... This is a confrontation between the East and West camps, and there is nothing ordinary people can do."

If the situation wasn't so bad, Adrian wouldn't have had the crazy idea of ​​getting Dr. Manhattan back.

The smartest man in the world feels his own powerlessness in the face of the final moments of the Doomsday Clock.

"First, I will intercept all nuclear bombs launched by Russia and the United States within 10 minutes."

Luke used an understatement, talking about tasks that normal people can't accomplish at all.

"Then, fly to the Kremlin, or the White House, and spend 15 minutes convincing the presidents of both countries."

"To tell you the truth, I am a pacifist. I have persuaded many conspiratorialists and careerists who tried to rule the world and set off wars. So those two Mr. Presidents, they will be influenced by me and let go of each other's prejudices."

"Everything is settled satisfactorily. Are you satisfied with this answer, Mr. Witt?"

Even though the city is as deep as a pharaoh, he couldn't help but be shocked by Luke's "perfect" plan.

He opened his mouth slightly, and asked in disbelief: "It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Luke pouted, as if it was just a small problem that he could easily solve.

"Intercept the nuclear bomb, with the president of the country... four 10 minutes?"

Adrian was a little sluggish, unable to turn his head around.

If these words hadn't come from Luke's mouth, I'm afraid he would have taken them as the ravings of a lunatic.

"Please believe me, Mr. Witte, I am definitely experienced in how to play the role of the third pole of the world and demonstrate force."

Faced with Luke's swearing assurance, Pharaoh didn't know how to answer.

This man is either a lunatic without reason, or a god descended on earth.

"It seems that you still can't believe it, and your poor knowledge limits your imagination."

Luke looked up at the time, and the round clock hanging inside the secret base was ticking.

The second hand beats one frame at a time, and time passes slowly.

"As a show of good faith, I don't mind paying a little 'funding' upfront."

Snapped!

Luke snapped his fingers, and the space vibrated slightly, wrapping the secret base where he left the sewer.

The Pharaoh sat there blankly, his hands trembling slightly.

Instead of being frightened by Luke's special abilities such as teleportation and space teleportation, there was an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

"Could it be that human beings have more than one God..."

Adrian stared fixedly at the round clock hanging on the wall, his body motionless, as if he was expecting something.

10 minute later.

Luke returned to the secret base on time.

"It's done."

The young man seems to have gone to a high-end restaurant, ate and drank a lot, showing a lazy feeling.

The pharaoh sitting across from him twitched his nose and smelled a faint smell of gunpowder smoke.

"You intercepted all the nuclear bombs of the United States and Russia? How did you do that?!"

Adrian stood up and quickly turned on the monitor array connected with external TV and radio.

All kinds of information poured into my ears. As Luke said, the nuclear bomb that was lifted into the air disappeared before leaving the country.

Even the strong light and aftermath of the explosion did not appear.

"Just an appetizer."

The corner of Luke's mouth curled up, as if he had just done a trivial and trivial thing.

"Now, let's move on to the negotiation of the deal."

4 Chapter [-] The Game of Time and Space, Upstream and Downstream

A huge crisis that destroyed the world ended like this.

At the moment when the doomsday clock was close to zero, it seemed to be held down by a big hand and stopped turning.

The nuclear bomb that was lifted into the air disappeared and did not detonate, causing the US and Russian authorities to panic.

Like a sudden supernatural event, it seemed extraordinarily unusual.

Where do I have so many nukes?They were all launched, why did they disappear?

The intelligence agencies of various countries kept slowing down the video images captured by the satellites, looking for clues frame by frame, and finally found a blurry figure.

Will it be Doctor Manhattan?

After the two presidents got the news, they couldn't help but have the same association.

The "God" who left the earth and disappeared for a long time!

He is back?

The heads of state, who were blinded by war fanaticism and interests and greed, calmed down instantly as if a basin of cold water had been poured on their heads.

"Humans stopped. They stood on the edge of the cliff, and they will not take the last step for a while."

Luke returned to the secret base, and all the nuclear bombs that were lifted off were taken into the underworld.

He obtained nearly one-third of the nuclear weapons reserves of the United States and Russia out of thin air, which is a windfall.

If there is a chance in the future, it can be used to wash the floor.

Throwing out thousands of nuclear warheads at one time must have an outstanding effect.

"You really did it?"

Pharaoh couldn't believe it, but the information transmitted from the monitor array's screens made him have to accept this fact.

"It's no big deal to prevent a nuclear war."

Luke looked calm, as if he had just done a trivial thing.

If he intends to show off his achievements, he once helped the Avengers defeat Thanos, reversed the future with a snap of his fingers, defeated Mephisto in hell, won the first place in the battle of the Supreme Mage, and then saved the Nine Realms and killed the big snake...

Compared with the above-mentioned things, a mere world war between the Eastern and Western camps is nothing.

"It's not permanent, Mr Adrian Witter."

Luke chuckled softly, and said softly: "For complex creatures like humans, don't try to eliminate their inferiority. That's something even God can't do."

"He once sent down the world-destroying flood to cleanse the unjust, but in the end? Greed, ambition, selfish desires... are still growing wantonly on this land."

Adrian's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

He is a combination of Lex Luthor + Batman, with excessive narcissism and arrogance, as well as matching brains and execution.

Coupled with the savior plot that goes deep into the bones, it is impossible to be shaken by a few words.

"Back to the topic, the night owl airship, and the coordinate data to track Dr. Manhattan, I want these."

Luke spread his hands, indicating that it was time to ask for payment.

Dr. Manhattan underestimated the wisdom and action of the pharaoh, thinking that everything would be fine if he exiled himself to the Watchmen universe.

"If I'm not mistaken, Mister Anonymous, you probably didn't come here voluntarily, right?"

Pharaoh did not move. As a smart man, he was keenly aware of some useful information through the previous conversation.

"Yes."

Luke frankly admitted that it was not something to be ashamed of being put on by Dr. Manhattan.

Even though Metron, who was as strong as the new protoss, sat on the Mobius chair made by the Anti-Monitor, he was still directly obliterated by the blue man.

If it weren't for the fusion of the superman's body and the tenth metal, it would have a trace of the original power of the universe.

Perhaps Dr. Manhattan would take a more brutal and direct approach to his biggest variable.

"Then even if you go back to the main universe where Joe is, you may not be able to fight him."

Adrian pointed out the key point, that is, how Superman at this stage should defeat Dr. Manhattan.

Unless the thinking superman, or the top template of the golden superman is drawn.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to pose a fatal threat to that blue man.

"I have my own plans."

The corners of Luke's mouth curled up, he could understand what the Pharaoh said.

Smart people are always unwilling to be lonely, when they know that there is a wider space outside the watcher universe.

The world is so big, Adrian naturally wants to see it.

Unfortunately, I can't satisfy the other party's idea for the time being.

"If you want to be in the game, you're probably going to be disappointed."

Luke looked at the huge array of monitors behind the pharaoh, and the news from all countries showed a turbulent and chaotic situation.

Although the war is temporarily stopped, the flames of violence that are gradually growing are burning and destroying everything.

The world needs a leader to find the right direction.

"First of all, I have no intention of confronting Dr. Manhattan directly."

Luke held up a finger and said with a smile.

That blue man is observing the fully restarted New 52, ​​no matter which parallel universe or timeline he appears in, he will be noticed by the other party immediately.

Dr. Manhattan is based in the upper reaches of time and space, as long as he wants to, he can easily delete his own existence by rewriting the timeline.

Even if Luke has a way to escape, he will always be in a passive position,

It is very unwise to use your own weaknesses to compete with your opponent's strengths.

So Luke's plan is to determine the coordinates of the main universe by tracking the traces of Dr. Manhattan, and then descend to the restart time and space before the flashpoint occurred.

Due to his appearance, a new branch will be created in the original fixed timeline.

"It's like two forks in the same road, both of which lead to the same end."

With a relaxed smile, Luke calmly said: "I am in the downstream of time and space, and he is standing in the upstream. After a long journey, we will meet sooner or later."
