The first half is completely incomprehensible, but the second half is enough to make people stunned. Inheriting the mantle of a dimensional lord?Become a watchman?

"I do not quite understand."

Bruce, who was sitting on the ground, frowned.

"The Lord of the Dark Universe originated from me."

Dr. Manhattan said calmly.

"I can differentiate myself into another independent self by copying myself. He can even have abilities comparable to mine. I wanted to use this power to conduct experiments to expand the universe, but something unexpected happened."

He stretched out his hand and waved forward, and the scenery suddenly shifted and transformed into a deep cosmic starry sky.

The two of them looked towards where Dr. Manhattan was looking, and saw a black shadow facing away from them at the end of the limit of the universe, in the indescribable eternal unknown. Head lowered.

what is that?

Even Di Xin frowned.

His body is infinitely tall, as if covering half of the universe, and his aura is as deep as the sea, as if there is no bottom line at all. He can make people feel the most terrifying fear, just by looking at this virtual shadow, It almost makes people feel an unsustainable collapse of their will... Fortunately, this scene only lasted for a moment. Dr. Manhattan withdrew his magical power, countless stars rotated, and the scene quickly switched to a desolate planet.

"here is..."

The three of them seemed to have just emerged from drowning. Even Di Xin's soul became a little blurry. It was obvious that he also felt the same kind of extreme fear when facing the cosmic shadow just now. .This feeling has transcended the biological level and directly affects the soul.

Another terrifying super-cosmic level?Di Xin had only one thought in his mind.

On the side, while panting, Bruce and Constantine looked at their surroundings, with some doubts in their eyes.

"This is Earth."

Dr. Manhattan could easily tell what the two of them were thinking, and explained their doubts before they could guess.

"But it's not the Earth in the universe you were originally in. This is another Earth in the infinite universe, which is the parallel world you call it."

He paused, then continued.

"What happened here?"

Bruce asked.

"This place has been invaded by darkness."

Dr. Manhattan still replied calmly.

"The Lord of the Dark Universe has eroded this universe, causing cause and effect to collapse, and all things have also returned to chaos and destruction..."

Bruce's eyes suddenly shrank. At the far end of the earth, he saw a huge piece of steel debris plunged into a large underground pit. Although it was damaged beyond appearance and was completely dark, it seemed that it had been here for a long time, but Bruce Still recognizable, this is the Justice League's watchtower.

?The construction drawings of the watchtower include a design plan made by himself. As long as it doesn't turn into ashes, Bruce will definitely recognize it.

But...what happened?Why? Did the watchtower fall to the surface?The environment here...what happened again?Is there also a Gaia here, and the Justice League has been completely wiped out, and human civilization has been wiped out?

"This world has no earth consciousness. Only the magic lamp in your world gave birth to Gaia, which affected the original cause and effect of your universe, so everything that happened happened."

Dr. Manhattan glanced at Bruce.

"And this world was destroyed by you."

"what?"

Not only Bruce was stunned on the spot, but Constantine also had a look of astonishment.It's like I feel like I have a hearing problem.

Batman...destroyed the world?

"To be precise, it was destroyed by this world, this Batman on this earth."

"How could such a thing happen? How could I destroy the world? Isn't the Batman you are talking about me?"

Bruce still wouldn't believe this ridiculous thing.

"No, he is still Bruce Wayne, nothing wrong with that."

Dr. Manhattan waved his hand, and the whole world seemed to go back in time and reverse quickly. Then, Bruce saw a scene that he would never forget.

That's the same Dark Knight.

The same cloak, the same armor, the same mask, and even the same voice.

It's just that in terms of body shape, he seems to be older.

One dark night, he was driving his stylish Batmobile, chasing the Joker.

He was taken into an alley, and as a last resort, he had to get out of the car and get into the alley vigilantly, trying to pull the clown out and send him to where he should go.

But he soon discovered that this time, it was not a simple 'hide and seek escape incident'.

The clown, with premeditation, caused a brutal massacre.

Robin sent news that some elderly people, women and children were missing in Gotham, suspected to have been kidnapped by the Joker.

But the sudden feeling of uneasiness made Batman think that this might not be a simple kidnapping incident.

His intuition soon came true.

By the time he found out, it was already too late.

Passing through the alley, he found the kidnapped person in an abandoned warehouse at the end, but...the dozen old people, women, and even children all turned into horrible monsters who could only laugh.They are killing each other.Even biting each other.

Just when Batman was shocked by all this, the city's alarm suddenly sounded in the dark night - most of Gotham was hit by a terrorist attack. Everyone was attacked by a burst of strange poisonous gas, and the poisoned people had the same change, a huge change. It spread rapidly, and the whole world was in chaos for a while.

He knew that this was all done by the clown.

After a furious pursuit, Batman finally caught up with the Joker.

This time, he was so angry that he couldn't control himself, and he made a fatal move - while grabbing the opponent, Batman lost control and killed the Joker.

But when Batman came back to his senses, he discovered that a strange gaseous substance was flowing from the corpse of the Joker, who was still smiling until he died. This is a strange virus that has never been discovered by anyone. .And he was also infected.

Then, in just three days...

The nightmare began.

The former Batman has become a demon even more terrifying than the Joker.

He seemed to have tried every means to prevent the spread of this inexplicable infection, and even thought of committing suicide, but he didn't know, or maybe he knew, that from the beginning, from the moment he was infected, He has changed.

He asked all his Bat-family members to come to the Batcave, including Robin, members that young Bruce didn't know, and even a child who looked a bit like himself.

This Batman seemed ready to train them one last time, and then staged a tearful 'let them kill him' scene.And his sadness was indeed passed on to these juniors who had taught him first-hand, but just when these young members relaxed their vigilance because of sadness, just when they were cheering for him, he suddenly jumped into the trap. , he showed an extremely cruel but crazy smile, and amidst the blood-curdling laughter, he took out the thermal weapon that he had prepared and shot them all.Not even the young man was spared.

What's more...he later infected them and turned them into evil zombies who came back from the dead.

Then, the following week, he used the same sympathy tactics to raid the Justice League Watchtower.

He used his original wisdom against criminals, and the trust of the alliance members in him, and used restraint methods targeting the weaknesses of all members, and actually killed all these former partners and comrades-in-arms to death. He even laughed wildly in front of Superman and raped them. * Lois Lane, who had become his wife at this time, watched Superman Clark die in pain after being injected with a large amount of kryptonite liquid. The last kryptonite bomb turned the couple into ashes.

He did all this and smiled, and that smile is eternal.

He became [laughing wildly].

An extremely evil devil.

The laughter that destroyed the Justice League and ultimately massacred the entire human civilization.

The last image he left to the young Bruce Wayne was a sinister figure wearing a long black trench coat and a barbed black helmet.And on his pale and deformed face, only the horrific appearance of the corners of his mouth split to the base of his ears remained.It wasn't so much that he was smiling, but that he had lost all other human emotions and expressions.

When the flow of time once again returned to the appearance of the desolate land at the beginning, Bruce Wayne almost fell to his knees on the ground, his face extremely pale.

Here is the earth five years from now.

What did that 'him' do? ? ?

"......"

Di Xin, who was in a trance state, also watched all this. He was silent for a while and asked Dr. Manhattan.

"Is this what you're after?"

He suddenly vaguely understood why Dr. Manhattan set a trap on him, and then finally showed him this scene today.

"I need you to become a stronger being, help me save the infinite universe, and become the watcher of this world."

As expected, Dr. Manhattan opened his mouth and said these words.

"...Why can't you just tell me and ask me to help instead of going through so much trouble?"

Di Xin's face was very ugly.

As the master of the entire dimension, Dr. Manhattan is a supreme being beyond the level of the universe. If he saves his life and speaks out, he might consider helping.

"Yes, you just think about it, but you won't risk your life for this universe that is foreign to you, right?"

Dr. Manhattan easily saw through Dixin's thoughts.

"Time means nothing to me."

he said calmly.

"You think it took me 3 years to lay out this situation, but time is just a plane that I can move around at will. It has no meaning to me. But to you, I can, in these 3 years, Let you be completely contaminated by the cause and effect of this cosmic dimension, and eventually become Bruce Wayne, become Batman, and become a member of this world. If you want to break through to further realms, or even become an existence comparable to me, you can You must fulfill your mission in this universe and help me save your current 'hometown' and save the infinite universe, otherwise you will leave your inner demons forever. After watching such a scene, you will always remember Live, you are a being destined to become a [Watcher]."

If Di Xin has another physical body.

He must be gritting his teeth now.

Dr. Manhattan, after all.

That's right, it's even impossible for him to refuse now, because Bruce Wayne is the true form of his soul, and he is just a doppelgänger with all the memories of the original Emperor Xin.It can be said that Dr. Manhattan has left no stone unturned. He separated the two of them into priorities, separated his memories, and allowed the body to completely grow on its own.Become a new life again.

But once the source is traced, the two of them are closely connected, both prosperous and destructive, because their souls are originally one and cannot be truly separated.

As for this side of Bruce Wayne, it is impossible to remain indifferent after seeing such a scene, because he is Batman, the most aware one in the Justice League, and his highest mission is always, Just because he wants to correct all the mistakes, he will definitely use everything he can to stop the spread of this so-called dark universe.

"You don't need to be too sad. This is not what you did."

Dr. Manhattan looked at Bruce, who was looking absent-minded.

"Bruce Wayne in this universe is just a mortal, and you are different. You are not them. You are different from any of them."

Because this Bruce Wayne was shaped and 'cultivated' by him.

"...Are there many such things?"

After a long silence, Bruce took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"In the infinite universe, there are many things that have happened, are happening, or have not happened yet."

Dr. Manhattan did not answer his question directly.

"This earth is not the first, nor will it be the last."

With a wave of his hand, countless spaces rotated and twisted, and they returned to Constantine's original mysterious house again.

"Dark Universe, what exactly is it?"

"It's my clone. He took a wrong path. He used countless universes as a testing ground. These universes were eroded by darkness and became part of the dark universe. As you can see, they were eroded by darkness. The universe will collapse due to various mutations, which will make everything lose control, and he will eventually become the master of that universe dimension. He will continue to erode the remaining universe until the entire infinite universe is his. .”

Dr. Manhattan replied.

"Why didn't you stop him?"

Bruce seemed to have finally regained some composure, and he asked questioningly.

"I can't stop him. He is another me, just like the relationship between 'you' and 'him'. Although on the surface, they are equal to a different individual, the most essential thing is that you can never change that you are one." Existence, one can give rise to all things, but all things can also retroactively become one.”

"If I want to destroy him, the entire universe will be completely destroyed because of our struggle and will never exist again."

"So, you think I can defeat him? That demonic figure?"

"That's right. I can see some of the tracks of your destiny."

There seemed to be a transparent and pure light oozing out of Dr. Manhattan's eyes.

"But I can't see everything, but this is enough. Your identity and your fate are destined to take a completely different path. I have no way of knowing whether you can become an existence comparable to mine, but It is precisely because of the unknown that you can create a miracle that can reverse all this."

"create a miracle."

Bruce murmured, as if he suddenly thought of something.

"The magic lamp. By the way, why not try using the magic lamp? For you, the magic lamp is at your fingertips, why don't you use it to deal with the dark universe?"

"The magic lamp. It is indeed a magical object, even I can't see through it."

Dr. Manhattan's answer was a bit surprising.

"But the magic lamp is not as simple as you think. Making a wish involves a huge power of cause and effect, as well as the established operation of the universe itself. If it is just a small thing, such as wishing for endless Wealth, or immortal life, things that only affect a single cause and effect in the universe, or even only a small area, are nothing. But if you make a wish, you want to clear out my clone and the darkness. The universe, that will come at an unpredictable price, and if it is really implemented, even I don’t know what will happen.”

His voice unexpectedly became more solemn than expected.

"But that can't be a good thing."
