Superman

"Frankly speaking, I'm looking forward to Dr. Manhattan's expression when he finds out that everything he observed has become an illusion."

Pharaoh's heart trembled, and he put away his original idea of ​​continuing to negotiate terms.

His intuition told him that if he pushes forward, the end may be miserable.

This Mr. Anonymous will not tolerate his various behaviors out of rational and calm thinking like Dr. Manhattan.

"However, Mr. Adrian Witt, do you want to consider joining my camp?"

Luke changed the subject and threw out a second chip.

He spread out his palm, and a gleaming will lamp ring appeared.

That bright green light illuminates the interior of the secret base, like a beautiful emerald.

"The world would need a second 'God', but I'm not interested in playing such a role."

At this time, Luke was like a bewitching devil, following his advice carefully.

"Who else is more suitable than you? A natural villain who can sacrifice 'a small part' and save 'most' without any psychological burden, a ruthless king who has no mercy in his heart, let alone weakness."

"This ring can transform you from a mortal to a 'god'."

"It doesn't cost you much, Mr Witte."

Adrian's eyes were firmly locked on the will lamp ring.

It is like a top-level emerald gem, which makes people unable to move their eyes away.

Luke smiled, even the smartest person in the world may not be able to resist the strong temptation brought by the new power.

It's like Lex-Luke, various research superhumans, trying to steal each other's powers.

Wisdom and force cannot be combined at the same time.

The smarter a person is, the more he wants to become stronger.

He let go of his hand, and the lantern ring that originally belonged to Sinestro floated gently in the air.

Then, a dazzling light burst out, illuminating the handsome face of the Pharaoh.

"Smart life is locked."

"Adrian Witt from... the universe."

"You have a strong will to overcome your fear."

"Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps!"

4 Twenty chapters Kansas farm, a new starting point

Half a month has passed since the nuclear war that almost dragged the human world into the abyss.

The disappearing nuclear warheads have become one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the world. No one knows where they went.

When the Eastern and Western camps declared a truce, a guy who claimed to be the "Emerald Knight" appeared in the Kremlin and the White House successively, and had a conversation with the presidents of the two countries that lasted several hours.

According to the information provided by the intelligence department, this person is covered with emerald green energy armor. Conventional weapons have no effect on him, and he has shown extremely powerful combat effectiveness.

The special service team in charge of security work fell down in front of the Emerald Knight without even a chance to fight back.

"Mr. President, I'm here to negotiate terms."

The Pharaoh, who wears Sinestro's ring of lights, opens with a line Luke has written.

Although he didn't know why the other party emphasized this sentence.

Is there any deep meaning in it?

As Luke said, a triangle is the most stable structure.

When the third pole appears in the world, he is neither American nor Russian.

At this time, some conflicts will be shifted, some conflicts will be reduced, and then enter a delicate balance.

"Why did the militia disband?"

While talking to the president, Adrian remembered Luke's question.

The militia is an organization of heroes in disguise. It was once sought after by the public, and it is the best helper for the police and the government.

But later, with more and more vigilantes, the police department slipped into a weak position. The New York City government even rejected the police’s application for salary increases several times, thinking it was unnecessary.

The media and the general public also feel that since there are heroes in disguise, there is no need for police officers to maintain law and order.

They will only come late after the problem is solved, and deal with the scene, how can it be as efficient as the vigilante fighting criminals.

Ever since, the backlog of dissatisfaction turned into anger at being treated unfairly.

Many policemen united together and held a general strike, which led to a social shutdown and even greater riots.

People took to the streets, holding up placards saying "Who will restrain the drag heroes" and "Get out of the vigilante".

Coupled with Nixon's successful re-election, Congress passed the Keene Act.

A drag hero can either work for the government or choose to retire, there are only two paths.

The militia was subsequently disbanded, and the relay watchman did not function.

The reason for this situation is precisely because the cross-dressing heroes in this world are all mortals except Dr. Manhattan.

They can only be supervised and cannot resist.

Even the uncompromising Rorschach can only go from being a vigilante on the surface to going underground.

Luke asked this question in order to remind the Pharaoh.

Today is different from the past, he is already the "Emerald Knight".

An existence that can ignore the government and act as a vigilante.

If you don't have enough strength, you will be restrained.

Even if the world government on the next studio set up the Sky Eye Society, it would not be able to issue orders to the Justice League.

Although the Marvel Universe has introduced a superhero registration act, the Avengers also broke out in civil war, but the government's control has never really been realized.

In the final analysis, there are still a large number of superheroes and they have the power to resist.

"I am the Emerald Knight."

Pharaoh, who left the White House, flew up to the sky and saw Luke standing on the clouds.

The dark red cloak fluttered like a banner.

The latter smiled and said softly: "The times should have changed, Werther, even if Dr. Manhattan doesn't come back, you can still become the 'God' of this world."

He successfully bewitched the pharaoh and persuaded him to sign the devil's contract.

At the price of a will lamp ring, he obtained ownership of the soul.

It's like playing a card game, and Luke loves a variety of good villains.

Compared with superheroes, they are more capable of doing things.

The Pharaoh is just the first s card he got, and there are better ones to come.

"When are you leaving?"

Adrian said in a deep voice with complicated eyes.

He's an egotistical guy who likes to dominate everything.

But in front of Luke, the pharaoh who often compared himself with Alexander the Great no longer had the confidence.

"So anxious to urge me to leave? That's right, there is only one God, so that he can be worshiped by the public."

The corner of Luke's mouth curled up, and he joked.

He didn't think it was a loss-making business to give Adrian Witter a will lamp ring.

As the man who knows Doctor Manhattan best, Pharaoh always plays his part.

"Sooner or later, you'll get tired of it, and I don't mind opening that door to a wider universe."

Luke predicted.

Pharaoh has given him the remodeled Night Owl airship and the coordinate data to track Dr. Manhattan's energy.

Among them, the red lynx was created through genetic modification technology.

It has Dr. Manhattan's energy left in it, which has other uses.

"Goodbye, Werther."

Luke waved his hand, he didn't plan to stay in the Watcher universe for long.

This is a devastated, nearly broken world.

Let the Pharaoh do the great task of setting things right.

"By the way, remember to keep the marionettes and mimes, for they are as useful to me as they are to you."

Before Luke left, he said this.

Adrian's eyes flashed, covered with emerald green energy armor, this guy really knows everything.

He looked down at the ground, then at the gleaming ring on his right hand.

Pharaoh Adrian Witt has died of cancer.

Only now, the Emerald Knight!

……

……

A few days later, without telling anyone, Luke took the night owl airship alone and carried out quantum tunneling.

The entire cockpit made a "humming" vibration, as if it would disintegrate at any moment.

The automatic navigation route has been modified by him.

It's no longer going to the timeline where Dr. Manhattan is, but an earlier time and space before the flashpoint happened.

The dazzling light engulfed everything, and Luke couldn't help squinting his eyes. The night owl airship he was riding in seemed to be sucked into a whirlpool, turning and tumbling non-stop.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be thrown out of all the food residue left in their stomach by this violent jolt.

Boom!

The night owl airship, which looked quite old on the outside, seemed to have hit a hard wall.

It pushed forward hard, squeezing out the thick "obstacle".

The metal shell rubbed bright sparks, like a meteorite falling fast.

"Meow!"

The red lynx lying on Luke's lap, like a cat with fried fur, wagged its tail uneasily.

"It's okay, we'll be there soon."

Luke stroked the soft fur with his palm, like stroking a cat, slowly calming down the manic red lynx.

Like a crashed plane, the night owl airship quickly passed through the atmosphere with a conspicuous flame.

boom!

After Luke continued to decelerate, the inertia of the fall still caused the night owl airship to hit the ground hard, making an astonishingly loud noise.

"When Adrian Witt remodeled this airship, didn't he consider adding an emergency landing function?"

Luke coughed twice, hugging the red lynx.

He forcibly opened the twisted and deformed hatch, and walked out unharmed.

Crackling sparks flashed, and choking smoke billowed up.

Luke looked at the night owl airship that hadn't landed successfully, it made a big hole.

The surrounding soil was charred and black, as if it had been burned by fire.

"Someone is here."

Luke moved his ears and heard footsteps in the distance.
