In the distant branch of the future, outside the Earth's atmosphere, the moon that originally surrounded the earth has disappeared, and a pop channel the size of the moon stops at the original position of the moon, aiming at the earth below. This is the first new 52-universe future that Dr. Manhattan has observed through his quantum abilities after returning to the main universe. When Dr. Manhattan travels through the time portal and enters the first of the three branches of the future, he appears in space on Earth.

Dr. Manhattan had to admit that when he reclaimed his humanity and returned to the main universe with a perfect divinity, the message he received gave him the urge to return to humanity once again. I have to say that Ke Wen, who exists as a variable, really gives himself too much inaccuracy. In particular, one of the three branches of the future, that is, the future one that he is now stepping on, he was really shocked when he saw this moon-like popping channel appear above the earth.

"Apocalypse's burst channel? So big? Is this a future where Earth is engaged in an all-out war with the Apocalypse? When Manhattan saw the text all over the periphery of this blast channel, he understood that this was a burst channel opened by the Apocalypse, and it could also be seen that this was not the initial stage of the all-out war between the Apocalypse and the Earth.

This burst channel has existed for a while, which means that this is a long-term war, and Dr. Manhattan is curious about what the earth has relied on to survive the long-term attack of the Apocalypse, and even in this case, there is a tug-of-war.

This is not Dr. Manhattan's singing about the Earth, the Apocalypse is a powerful civilization, comparable to the once extinct Krypton, or even surpassed. If in terms of single combat power, the Justice League led by Superman, plus the new generation of Cowen, under the command of Batman, adopted decapitation tactics at the beginning of the war and directly attacked Darkseid and his dark new gods, then it is indeed possible to repel the attack of the Apocalypse.

This was the case with the previous Apocalypse Star invasion, but once the war reached a stalemate, then the strength of the Apocalypse as a higher civilization was revealed. A formed demonoid, also known as the part of the Apocalypse Demon, is enough to defeat the coalition of all countries on the earth, whether it is from space, naval battles or land, the strength of the Apocalypse Demon, the characteristics of not afraid of death, for the civilization of the earth, the army, is a dimensionality reduction blow, and it does not give you any face at all.

Even in the very beginning of the Darkseid invasion war, due to the strength of Darkseid's clone, the Justice League composed of Superman and others defeated Darkseid, and used this clone as a signal to open the burst channel, throwing Darkseid and the Apocalypse Demon back to Apocalypse. In this war of aggression that lasted less than two hours, half of the earth was basically destroyed, and many cities were directly turned into ruins, and the metropolis, which was a battlefield, directly lost a quarter of the urban area, and completely became a wasteland.

With such examples, Dr. Manhattan was curious about how Earth could remain on the defensive, or even destroyed, in the face of an all-out war with the Apocalypse.

From Dr. Manhattan's point of view, beneath the moon-like pop channel, the Earth remains intact. Of course, it can't be considered intact, but as a congenitally weak side in a full-scale war, being able to maintain such a state is already considered intact. But if you look at it from the perspective of someone else, who is completely unaware of the situation, it is difficult for them to connect the current devastated planet with the blue planet of life.

With Dr. Manhattan's vision, he can see that the continental plates of Asia, Europe, America, and Australia have long been free of the vitality they see, no matter which continental plate it is, all you can see is a devastated city, conspicuous landmarks collapsed together, and ruins are everywhere, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a planet with life.

From time to time, there are also teams composed of Apocalypse Demons patrolling the ruins of these dilapidated cities, from time to time to capture a human survivor hiding in the ruins, lock them in containers, and when the number of humans in the containers reaches a certain number, they are closed, escorted to space, and return to Apocalypse Star through this huge blast channel, and then use biotechnology to transform them into a member of the Apocalypse Demon army.

Just in space, Dr. Manhattan has obtained some information, but he still doesn't know the whole truth. For example, why did the earth start a full-scale war with the Apocalypse, how long did this war last, and where the powerful hero organizations that are the superheroes of the earth's frontline defense, the Justice League, the Young Titans, and the Huaxia Self-Improvement Department, are now, Dr. Manhattan has no way of knowing, as if a big hand has erased all the information from the past to the present.

He can't restore the whole process through the information of the scaly claw, but it's not a difficult thing for him, he is a quantum god, even if something happens that he can't predict, but as long as he knows, there is a way to restore it all. The future of this branch made him intrigued.

"It's good, I can't even know the full picture of the future, just let me see what is going on in this future."

With an interested look, Dr. Manhattan disappeared from space in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already here on Capitol Hill, suspended on Capitol Hill, looking at the statue of the president on Capitol Hill, in the main universe of the past where he came, the statue of Superman, who was ready to take office as president in January, was indeed carved on the mountain wall, and it was the only one of the five statues that was well preserved, which meant that the past history had not changed much, and Clark had indeed become president.

After obtaining information here, he also appeared in New York, the Hall of Justice as the image building of the Justice League, which should be more accurate to say the original Hall of Justice. Because all Dr. Manhattan saw was a ruin, and even the words of the Hall of Justice were half destroyed, and whatever once existed in it no longer existed.

When he saw this, Dr. Manhattan's brow furrowed, and he flashed again. This time, he appeared in the city of Nacino, and in the same way, he saw what he had expected, but there were still some surprises. The Titan Mansion was also in ruins, and fell to the ground in two, like a giant beheaded in half. And on the sea not far from the ruins of the Titan Building, another building is half-soaked in the sea.

It was the watchtower, the first line of defense that the Justice League really used to defend against the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations, and it just fell to the surface of the sea, becoming an icy wreckage of a building. Looking up at the sky, a huge blast channel replaced the moon and shone on the earth, Dr. Manhattan could imagine the scene at that time, the huge watchtower was like a meteorite, with flames falling from the sky, and with the watchtower falling, there was also the endless army of apocalypse demons.

Using the fall of the watchtower as a signal, they began a full-scale invasion of the Earth. Later, Dr. Manhattan went to another part of Naxino, not far from the Titan Building, which originally belonged to Curvin's own cabin, the Planetary Detective Agency. Of course, it is also in ruins, and there is nothing left. Immediately afterwards, Shanghai, London, Sydney, Tokyo... These cities all have traces of Dr. Manhattan.

But what he saw was still ruins, ruins, ruins! Even the World Tree, which was born in the Ginza area of Tokyo due to the Knight Origin Event, turned into a rotten tree and collapsed there.

Walking through the streets of the city, Dr. Manhattan was confused, he could indeed feel that there was life on the earth, but such a life force was not enough to resist the sweep of the apocalyptic demon army, what was stopping them, so that they did not dare to carry out the last extermination strike on the devastated earth at will? Also, he couldn't find any information about superheroes, and what made him even more curious was that he couldn't find a single human survival spot.

Since there are survivors, there should be a survival point, but he can't find it, not one. This is impossible, as long as he wants to find it, he will definitely find it, unless someone makes him unable to find it, and this person's ability is no worse than his. But who this person was, Dr. Manhattan couldn't think of, and couldn't guess. Just as Dr. Manhattan was puzzled, he looked up at the huge blast tunnel.

If there is no trace of a superhero on Earth, whether it is Cowen or Superman, then there is only one place left, on the other side of the blast channel, the other side of the all-out war, the Apocalypse!

Just as Dr. Manhattan was thinking this, and was about to make his way to Apocalypse through the blast channel, he noticed a change coming from the huge blast channel. A spaceship was staggering out of the blast channel, accompanied by local flames, stabbing headlong towards the earth, and behind the spaceship, a force of apocalypse demons was chasing after them, which was completely different from the apocalypse demons on the earth.

On the earth, the Apocalypse Demon troops who were patrolling also noticed the abnormality in space, and with a howl, the Apocalypse Demon like a swarm of mosquitoes and the other Apocalypse Demon Force that was chasing also formed an encirclement and attacked the human spaceship full of war.

"Maybe you'll give me the answer," Dr. Manhattan looked at the spaceship with traces of Earth technology, and also saw the people in the spaceship, stunned for a moment, and said to himself, at the same time, his figure flashed, and appeared inside this spaceship full of war, which could be turned into ruins by the two Apocalypse Demon forces at any time.

His presence did not alarm anyone inside the ship, and he disguised himself in order to find the answer. The original insignificant quantum body disappeared into the appearance of a scientist named Jonathan Jon Osterman as a human being, and no one was surprised that there was an extra person in the spaceship, and the moment Dr. Manhattan appeared inside the spaceship, he implanted a subconscious mind in these people, seeing him as a member of his ship.

And in the driver's seat,A girl is also using the encrypted channel to call for help,It's not just technology,But a new type of technology combined with magic,When I saw this,Dr. Manhattan's doubts were solved a little,There is indeed a huge human survival point,And use the power of magic to disguise it,The level of magic is very high,This magic acting on the encrypted channel is more like a transit station,Transmit information to that human survival point。

"Help! Distress! This is the Earth Ark 12 spaceship, Captain Shanna Todd, we are being pursued by the Apocalypse Star Destroyer Force, and these Apocalypse Demons are hovering on Earth, damn it, can't you be diligent and sweep away some of these things on Earth! We've just finished a stealth mission, carrying important information. If you don't come to the rescue, you can wait and see the fireworks go off in the sky! ”

“··· Sorry, Captain Shanna, this was our negligence, please make a forced landing in Naxino, our side has sent rescuers. ”

"Who? Twins, Flying Heroes or someone else, it's the Demon of Destruction who is chasing us, don't come here to send rations to the logistics troops. ”

For the reply from the survival point, Shanna Todd also said several names, but none of these names Dr. Manhattan remembered, but through the words, he also understood that it was the superhero in the current human survival point.

"No, it's the adult, you know it."

Shanna Todd's face was happy with the answer of the survivor point, it was obvious that she knew who the adult in the survivor's mouth was, but she also had doubts.

"He? How is he free? ”

"It's because it's the Demon of Destruction that the Lord is free, and that Lord hates the Demon of Destruction more than any of you, and he happens to be on a search and rescue mission in Nacino City."

"Understood, I only hope that this spaceship can hold out until the time of the forced landing in Naxinnuo City, otherwise he will only have to watch the fireworks."

Communication was disconnected, and Shanna Todd concentrated on piloting the spaceship and making a forced landing towards the city of Naxino. But in the face of the Apocalypse forces attacking from both sides, the spaceship piloted by Shanna is like a boat in a storm, in danger of being destroyed at any time. The Apocalypse Demon troops on the front are okay, although there are many of them, but their minions can't tear through the appearance of their spaceship at all, and they can only rely on a huge number, and the suicide attacks continue to slow down the speed of their spaceship's flight.

So that another unit in pursuit, the Destroyer, could catch up with him. Only the pursuit team of fifteen demons was what Shanna was most worried about. In front of their minions, their own spaceship is nothing, and their powerful bodies, even if they enter the spaceship, can unilaterally slaughter their team, even if they are themselves, they can only deal with one head in the face of all their strength.

The boundless Apocalypse Demon forces were in front of the spaceship, their suicide attacks had an effect, the continuous explosion, the shockwave generated blocked the speed of the spaceship, and by the time Shanna finally drove the spaceship to break through the encirclement formed by the Apocalypse Demon, the Demons of Destruction chasing behind her were already close at hand, and they could pounce on the spaceship at any time. Dr. Manhattan, who was watching all of this from inside the ship, naturally wouldn't let that happen.

He still needed someone from the ship to take him to the human survival point, and just as Dr. Manhattan was about to use his abilities to make the ship move some distance further, he stopped. Because he could sense that a powerful life form was rapidly approaching here.

"Look! What is that! ”

Just as Shanna was concentrating on piloting the spaceship in a race against time, one of the people in the team suddenly shouted as he looked at a black dot outside the porthole. Everyone also looked at the porthole, including Shanna, and discussed it at the same time.

"That's a bird?"

"Is it an airplane?"

"No, it's the sir!"

As the group's discussion amplified, Dr. Manhattan saw a figure wearing a half-covered mask brushing past his ship. And behind the spaceship, the Apocalypse Demon Force, which had previously formed an encirclement network for the spaceship from Earth, also fell into a panic when this figure appeared. They were supposed to be fearless killing machines that faithfully carried out the orders of the Apocalypse, but when this figure appeared, they began to howl, and that was the smell of fear!

They tried to escape, but before they could make any effective evasive moves, the Apocalypse Demon Force that flew up from the earth spontaneously combusted in the air without wind, and the howl of fear also stopped abruptly, and it only took less than a second for the huge Apocalypse Demon Force to turn into ashes in the air, slowly dissipating, leaving only the fifteen untouched pursuit squads known as the Demons of Destruction.

But Dr. Manhattan could see that the fifteen Demons of Destruction were not unaffected, but that the flames that caused effective damage to the Apocalypse Demons had no effect on them, and their bodies were dense enough to resist the attacks of this mysterious man. It's just that it's not comfortable, and the burned red body slowly fades away, returning to its ugly appearance. The spacecraft was forced to stop in the air, and then slowly landed towards the ground.

The Demons of Destruction did not attack at the first time, they were more advanced than the Apocalypse Demons, they also had some of their own wisdom, they understood how powerful this mysterious person who blocked them was, and taking the liberty of attacking would only hurt and reduce the number of people on their side.

The spaceship landed safely, and everyone who survived the disaster also breathed a sigh of relief, as the captain Shanna Todd wiped the sweat from her forehead, and also complained to the rescuer through the external channel: "You guy, you can always catch up at a critical time, you almost died, you know!" ”

"Oh, there's no way around it, you know, I'm busy, okay, you guys just stay in the boat, I'll talk to you about them later."

In the channel, the mysterious man's teasing words came out, giving Dr. Manhattan a familiar feeling. Through the spaceship, he also saw the young back of the confronting the Destroyer, it was so familiar, and at the same time, the young back also said to these Destroyers: "You dogs, relying on your own genes similar to mine, chased all the way from the Apocalypse Star here, did you not kill you back then or how did you drop, but now you are so arrogant?" Although they have similar genes, humans and chimpanzees were still the same ancestor millions of years ago, and I haven't seen everyone live peacefully in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", so is the prayer done before death? ”

"Hey, hey, hey, surnamed Ke, why are you talking so much, hurry up and solve them! I miss the barbecue at the base! Impatient, Shanna also urged the old acquaintance who came to the rescue through the microphone, and it was clear that she was confident that he would be able to kill the Demon Destroyer.

"Yes, yes, barbecue, no problem, I'll eat barbecue tonight for you, so you just watch it there, my, transform!"

As he spoke, Dr. Manhattan noticed that a red gem was emerging from his abdomen at his waist and set there, and he shouted "Henshin!" ”
