Chapter 3: The Apocalypse War (Part II)

When he heard Conan say that 25 years had passed since the all-out war between the Earth and the Apocalypse and spread to the entire universe, Dr. Manhattan was also stunned, which meant that he could not see the future direction at all from the moment the main universe returned. The child in front of Ke Wen, a young man named Conan, died at the age of 23 or 4, counting the time before he was born, which means that the entire Apocalypse Star War has lasted for almost 30 to 35 years.

The spread from the Earth and the Apocalypse to the entire universe in such a short period of time is something that Dr. Manhattan did not expect, and it also means that in the near future of the main universe, something big must have happened that led to the start of this war. But what the specific big thing is, Dr. Manhattan is not clear at all, the timeline has been completely disrupted, and even the future of quantum observation has become obscure, otherwise he would not have come to these three branches of the future to find the truth.

"Okay, I've answered your question, so shouldn't you answer my question, Dr. Manhattan!"

Conan didn't let his guard down because of Dr. Manhattan's current non-aggressiveness, he grew up listening to his father's stories about the past, and in his father's story, he was pressed and kneaded by one hand several times, and he didn't have a temper at all. How can such a guy read his mental activity through his expressions?

"If I answered yes, what would you do, son of Corvin, or would you call you Kamen Rider Kurame?"

"I'll stop you here, even if it's risking my life!" In the face of Manhattan's questioning, Conan also made a battle stance, and the Armadam Spirit Stone began to shine, ready to transform into battle at any time.

It's just that in front of Dr. Manhattan, Conan's high starting point didn't play a role, just a simple wave of his hand, and the Amadam Spirit Stone that was originally flashing on Conan's waist calmed down, and his transformation was forcibly interrupted. At this time, Conan realized how powerful this Manhattan doctor who pulled him back and forth with one hand in his father's words was, even so, Conan did not give up the fighting spirit in his heart, and was still working hard.

"Don't look at me like that, son of Kewen, at least for now, I don't want to go to your father for a decisive battle, I want to know what this so-called Apocalypse War is all about, and what is happening in this future that I have not observed."

After that, Dr. Manhattan also disguised himself as a human in front of Conan again, and Conan could also feel the connection between the Armadam Spirit Stone and him, who was one with him. In the rear, Shanna Todd also greeted him, signaling that the ship had been repaired and was ready to take off. Looking at Dr. Manhattan, who had already released his kindness, Conan had no choice but to let him follow him and board the spaceship together.

"Shanna Todd, whose child is she?"

"Robin, the daughter of Jason Todd and Batgirl Barbara Gordon." Upon hearing Dr. Manhattan's inquiry, Conan responded.

"What about them."

"Dead."

In two simple and clear words, Dr. Manhattan suddenly understood that this was a future full of despair, but constantly struggling in this quagmire. As the second son adopted by Batman, Barbara Gordon of Batgirl died in this war, leaving only one daughter, and the fate of other superheroes can be imagined.

"Tell me about everything here, then."

"I said it, I don't know how the war started, I only heard my father, my mother told me something, but they didn't say anything specific at the time, if you want to know everything about this era, I will tell you, but not here."

"Are you afraid of me?"

"Yes, I'm afraid of you, so I have to be in a place where I feel safe to tell you all this, and you can choose to find the truth yourself."

"It's okay, I'll go with you, besides, your mother is..."

"Kara Zo Eyre, Supergirl."

The conversation comes to an abrupt end, and the second-generation Robin and Batgirl's daughter, Shanna Todd, also pilots the repaired spaceship, carrying the human survivors rescued by Conan, and follows the designated route to the human survival point. The speed of the spaceship was very fast, and it only took half an hour to reach its destination, and before the spaceship reached its destination and opened the gate of the base by special means, Dr. Manhattan did not notice it, but the moment it opened, he also understood the reason.

For Dr. Manhattan, this is equivalent to finding a secret door in the secret room, and he can directly dismantle the secret room by violent means, so that he can also get out. But as long as he finds a way, opening the secret door is the easiest thing to do, and now, this base of human survival has no secrets in front of him.

"Is this your survival point, it's just another world, I can feel a powerful force contained in it, who created this place."

"My father, Kamen Rider Liqi, the Kewen you want to fight with."

In the middle of the words, Shanna Todd had already piloted the spaceship into this human survival site, which was a space that existed independently of the earth, compared to the devastation and ruins of the earth outside, although the buildings that could be seen here were a little old, but at least they could feel a sense of life. Vendors along the street are also selling daily necessities, and children are playing in the streets. And Shanna Todd also drove the spaceship towards the airport to dock, and after docking, there was also a special team in charge to divert the survivors.

At the same time, two figures also appeared in front of Conan and Shanna at the fastest speed, a man and a woman, both with a somewhat similar face, either brother and sister or brother and sister. After seeing that Shanna was safe and sound, the two also hugged her tightly.

"Great, we thought you wouldn't come back."

"Phew! Good luck, I can come back no matter what, and there is a Grim Reaper elementary school student next to me, and no one will kill me as a friend~ You say yes, Conan. ”

Conan, who was ridiculed for the stalk of the same name again, also had a black face, but he could only have a black face, after all, the name was given by his father, and he couldn't beat his father, and his mother was still on the same front as his father, what else could he do if his parents couldn't beat him, accept his fate.

"We're still good friends without mentioning this meme, Don, Dorne!" Saying the names of the two, Conan also said with an unhappy face.

"It's like we're not good friends when you mention this stalk, okay, you pack up here and come to the hall, Shanna told Kemi and Iason, she got an important piece of information from Apocalypse, and you can be there too." After all, the two of Don, who are called Don, also carry Shanna and disappear in front of everyone as a whirlwind.

"Got it... Forehead. Before Conan could finish his words, he couldn't see anyone.

"Donn, Dorne?" Behind Conan, Dr. Manhattan also raised his own questions at the right time.

"Don Allen, Dorne Allen, the dragon and phoenix fetal daughter of the second generation of Flash Barry Allen, brother and sister, inherited the physique brought by the speed force, also known as the Whirlwind Twins."

Conan also gave an answer to Dr. Manhattan's question, the son and daughter of the Flash, and Dr. Manhattan did not continue to ask how the situation of the first-generation Zhenglian giant was in this war that lasted for many years. Since Conan promised to tell him everything he knew where he felt at ease, Dr. Manhattan had enough patience to wait for Conan to tell him everything, and all he had to do was follow Conan and wait for him to tell him.

Conan didn't let Dr. Manhattan wait any longer, and after handing over the survivors to the other responsible persons to guide him, he led Dr. Manhattan to walk around the survivorship site at will. This is a base that is different from the devastated environment of the outside world, with mountains and rivers, full of life, and more importantly, Dr. Manhattan can feel that there is a force that oppresses him, and his abilities are limited.

"You said before that this is the survival point created by your father, that is, Kewen?"

"Yes, the Apocalypse War started before I was born, and this war has caused too much damage to Earth and humanity. My father believed that if the war continued like this, whether it was won or lost in the end, humanity would be left with nothing. So he opened up an independent space, connected to the water source and light source of the outside world, and migrated the remaining human beings to it, leaving a dilapidated earth that had no value in the eyes of the Apocalypse, at least in this way, it could reduce the damage of the Apocalypse Star to the Earth. ”

"There is a problem with what you said, I don't doubt that Ke Wen can open up space, but if you just open up an independent space, there should be no particularity to counteract my strength, this is where you think you can tell me everything in the past with peace of mind, right, did you say that you missed something, son of Ke Wen."

"I just said what I knew, this space is connected to my father, which means that my father is not dead, and even if Darkseid is there, he can't break this space. The reason why I feel at ease here is because here, as my father's son, I have some powers, these powers are not very strong, but I can mobilize the energy that exists in this space. Conan shook his head, didn't hide this from Dr. Manhattan, and said truthfully.

"That makes sense, your father grew up in the subsequent war and reached a terrifying height, so here you can rest assured about the causes and consequences of this Apocalypse Star War."

Nodding, Conan did not refuse, and at the same time said; "First of all, I remember that the war before I basically listened to my parents and other fathers, and even they didn't fully understand the reason for the outbreak of the war, so after I finished speaking, don't ask me if you think it's unreasonable, I don't know, and I don't know the reason."

Dr. Manhattan nodded, indicating that he understood. And Conan, that is, in this branch future, as a descendant of Kewen, he also began to tell everything that happened in the future of this branch.

'When did this Apocalypse War start, I don't know, but my father, Kewen, the first Kamen Rider Liqi, only told me that it all started because they were too underestimated and how terrible it was to explore the future that they didn't know anything about, a small butterfly effect would form a huge storm, not to mention that what he created was not just something as simple as a butterfly effect. ’

"Huh? Did your father do something wrong? After hearing Conan's opening remarks, Dr. Manhattan also asked directly from Conan's words.

"You're really unqualified as a listener, Dr. Manhattan, I don't know the specifics of the beginning of the war, naturally I don't know what happened to my father back then, what he did wrong, I'm just saying what they told me, what you think is wrong, check it yourself!"

Touching his forehead, Conan was really speechless about Dr. Manhattan's interruption, but he couldn't beat others, so he could only use this tone to let Dr. Manhattan understand what he was wrong. Obviously, Dr. Manhattan's curiosity prevailed at this time, and he didn't feel the slightest sense of Conan's offense, and nodded his head, indicating that he understood.

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Conan continued his story.

I don't know what happened to my father, but what I can only learn from my father's story is that as the first superman, after President Clark Kent took office. With his own personality and wisdom, he began to promote a higher level of strategic cooperation between countries, instead of the rude and uninteresting practice of economic sanctions and even military expansion in order to maintain the status of the superpower of his own country.

In the beginning, there were many difficulties, after all, what he did moved most of the old pie, and it can be said that when this initiative was first launched, under the inducement of well-intentioned people, anti-presidential demonstrations also appeared everywhere, calling for his resignation. But my father knew very well that these people were instigated, including the old faction, and they were only affected because their own interests were affected, so it was useless to simply use violence to counter violence.

They are waiting for a suitable opportunity, waiting for a collaborator. Soon, when China was the first to stand up and said that it would cooperate with the program promoted by President Kent, everything changed, and the two major international enterprises led by Wayne Group and Lex Enterprises stood up, and the team trained before went online, and promoted and implemented one policy after another, and the earth also ushered in a new turning point, with the cooperation between the two major powers in the east and the west as the arrow, and began a new era, a new era of win-win strategic cooperation between countries. ’

"It sounds like everything is good, and even if there are old-fashioned people inside the planet, I don't think they can do anything to turn the world upside down."

This time Manhattan's interruption was fine, and he voiced his doubts at the right time, and did not question Conan's narrative. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Conan continued there.

Yes, everything is beautiful, and you are right, the old school doesn't make a big deal, they just make a little fuss, as long as the cake is bigger, their share will not change, and they will be much more honest." But the changes do not come from within, but from outside the world, and my father told me a lot, including that the universe has been restarted, and also told me that even if the universe is restarted, some major events that have happened in the past universe will also be staged in the new universe, and the intensity will not exceed too much from the past. ’

Speaking of which, Dr. Manhattan understands that there has been a big event that is the same as the one in the universe before the restart, but it is beyond the scale of the big event before the restart, and the whole future collapses with that big event that goes beyond the scale.

"Is there something big going on that he didn't figure out, I mean your father." Dr. Manhattan asked directly.

"Yes, to be precise, something that no one had figured out at the time. Before I talk about that, I have to tell you how powerful my father's teenage titan was at the time, my father, mother, Lena Luthor, Zatana Zatara, Nightwing, Superboy, Lightning Kid, the son of President Kent, Jonathan Kent Jr., who was destined to be the next superman, Robin, Raven, Starfire, Shazam, Martian Maiden... And on the Justice League side, except for the return of President Kent to human identity, the other members are also online. ”

Dr. Manhattan listened to Conan talking these familiar names, and when he returned to the Main Universe, he had already learned about the power of the son of Superman, that is, Jonathan Jr., through obtaining information. also understands that Conan's foreshadowing is definitely related to what he said, the big event that appeared in the old universe, but got out of control in the main universe where Kewen is located, has a great connection.

"What a powerful force, but they still didn't deal with that big incident that got out of control, right?" Regarding the lineup that Conan said, Dr. Manhattan affirmed it and also made inferences.

Conan nodded, and when Dr. Manhattan deduced this result, he also recalled his father's eyes when he looked at the Titan's group photo on the table when he told him what had happened in the past, pain, reluctance, nostalgia, all kinds of emotions were revealed in his father's face and eyes, and at that time Conan felt that his father was just an ordinary person, not a god who turned the tide in the Apocalypse War.

"Yes, as you say, such a powerful force that even Darkseid would have to retreat from his face. But the enemy at that time was more terrible and crazy than Darkseid, Darkseid was the conqueror, but these monsters that robbed my father of their lives had no purpose but to destroy all that existed! ”

Dr. Manhattan looked at the anger in Conan's eyes, the change in his tone and the content of his words were also stunned, he already knew what the big incident was that out of control. There is only one monster that destroys everything, and can make hatred for it above Darkseid, the immortal monster called Superman's eternal enemy, called Doom Day!

"Doom Day is coming, a Doom Day beyond your imagination?"

Conan nodded, but shook his head again, and corrected Dr. Manhattan: "Yes, Doom Day is coming, this father and they all know very well that Doom Day will come to Earth one day, but what is beyond their imagination is not the combat power of Doom Day, but the scale!" What has come to Earth is not a single Day of Destruction, but an army, an army of Day of Destruction! ”
