Chapter 1126 Dr. Manhattan's Defeat
When a cat is not being observed, it exists in a superposition of presence and non-presence.
But this balance was disrupted when someone began to observe it.
If Dr. Manhattan is unaware of the existence of the Doomsday Bell event, then the event is considered non-existent.
But once he found out, the cat was placed under observation.
In an instant, knowledge flooded into Dr. Manhattan's mind like a tidal wave, surging and drawing a timeline in his mind that was completely different from what he was seeing now.
No.
This doesn't seem to be a completely different timeline.
Dr. Manhattan travels back in time along this timeline and then extends it to the present.
Countless Dr. Manhattans are constantly being regenerated in the hypertime stream; they exist at any point in time, observing the occurrence of every event.
He could see the angry expressions on the faces of the Justice League members when he faced them, down to the last detail;
He saw how the Pharaoh summoned him to that timeline known as the Doomsday Bell:
He saw how powerless the world was at his feet;
He saw how the world was plunged into conflict because of him and the Pharaoh;
He witnessed how the firestorm inadvertently killed countless people;
He saw how Superman moved;
He saw how people misunderstood superheroes;
He saw how he waited for Superman to throw a punch at him and forced the other man to do so.
He confessed his actions to Superman, telling him what he had done and how he had changed Superman's life. He saw Superman raise his fist at him but then stop.
But none of that is the point; Dr. Manhattan continues to extend the timeline forward.
He saw how he gave up on destroying the DC multiverse, he saw how he died, his gaze traversing infinite space and time, beyond those unformed histories, and in a few seconds or even centuries later, he met the eyes of a little boy with a quantum symbol on his forehead many years into the Watchmen universe.
That boy is the core of the Watchmen universe, the newest core. He doesn't exist yet, just as the Quantum Batman didn't exist at one point.
But as a quantum being, that quantum boy existed from the moment of his birth, prior to the fact that he did not exist.
The so-called "one proof is eternal proof" means that when Dr. Manhattan observed the little boy who also possessed quantum powers, everything was already a fait accompli.
This is an operation that can only be accomplished after embracing quantum power, and Batman Dragon has been planning it for a long time.
His elaborate scheme to merge with the Batman Who Laughs was to use the Batman Who Laughs to usurp Dr. Manhattan's quantum divine power.
If you don't possess the same power as Dr. Manhattan, then Dr. Manhattan is almost an invincible opponent. But if you share the same origin as him, then that seemingly powerful enemy will collapse like a sandcastle being washed away by the sea.
So that's the whole truth. Doctor Manhattan wasn't defeated by Superman's words.
Instead, Superman created a future for him with a quantum boy, a future where the Watchmen universe also has a cosmic core.
For this future, Dr. Manhattan was willing to give up his life—it was the ultimate answer he sought, a direct manifestation of an ascended universe, and the destiny of a transcendent being.
Dedicate everything to your own universe.
A detached individual like Papetua, who abandoned his own world and escaped his responsibilities, could never understand this behavior.
Papetua was only influenced by the biological instinct to fear death, making choices that mortals would make. The moment he gave up his dedication, he forever lost the power and qualification to become a transcendent being.
"so."
Chen Tao heard Dr. Manhattan say, "We have reached a consensus now."
He told Chen Tao, "I need to see the core of the DC multiverse."
"And after Superman's death, I took over this role," Chen Tao said. "He's standing right in front of you now."
Finally, we've arrived at this point. Once Dr. Manhattan sees the core of the world, he will disintegrate himself, and no one is more suitable than Chen Tao to become the master of those powerless forces.
After destroying Dr. Manhattan, Chen Tao will surpass Perpetua and the former Darkest Knight, the Laughing Bat.
He can orchestrate the ending Doctor Manhattan desires; he can create a history that paves a bright future for the Watchmen universe. It's not difficult for him; he can replicate all the history before the Doomsday Bell in the history of the DC multiverse, but in return, the history after the Doomsday Bell will be painted over by him.
It's almost there, almost there.
He will become the second transcendent being to walk in the present world, and he will accomplish a great feat that none of the monitors, anti-monitors, and world-builders have ever achieved.
He will trample death over his head, seize fate by the throat, and no one will be able to stop him, no one will be his match.
He can understand all things in the world with a single thought, and he will become an omnipotent god except for being unable to create a stone that he cannot even lift.
All of this is now within reach.
He could defeat Dr. Manhattan, whom Papetua could not. From the very beginning, he had an understanding of Dr. Manhattan, and from the very beginning, he held the key to victory.
Those fools have all crashed and burned against Dr. Manhattan's iron gate, while he only needs to take out the key to win.
Dr. Manhattan has been defeated! He's about to hand over his power to himself!
Chen Tao couldn't help but burst into wild laughter. Even the suppression of his personal emotions by the Quantum Divine Power could not stop his heartfelt ecstasy at this moment. Unlike Dr. Manhattan, he had not mastered the Quantum Divine Power for a long time. He let out an evil laugh, a vicious sound that made the DC multiverse tremble.
Then he heard Dr. Manhattan's reply: "No."
The laughter abruptly stopped.
"What did you say?"
"No."
"What the hell does 'again' mean?"
"What I mean is, I will indeed relinquish my power completely after seeing the core of the world and lead history to the ending that should have been."
"Then am I not at the core of the world?!"
"Obviously not."
Dr. Manhattan stared indifferently at Chen Tao, who interpreted a hint of mockery in his gaze, but the truth was that Dr. Manhattan had completely lost his human emotions.
He was simply stating the facts.
"You are not at the core of the world."
"Then who is it?"
Then, immediately after asking the question, through his connection with the Quantum Divine Power and the DC Multiverse, he and Doctor Manhattan simultaneously uttered the answer: "Holy crap, The Bat Who Laughs!"
