Chapter 801 Who is qualified to lift the throne and ascend to the center of the universe?
History... is changing.
This is April 1938 in the main universe timeline.
Dr. Manhattan, emitting a blue fluorescent glow, sat in a café in the metropolis, everything was peaceful...
But this is not the case from Dr. Manhattan's perspective.
The entire timeline is highly unstable, with male and female waiters walking past him, people strolling down the street, and the scorching midday sun...
All of this is very unstable.
boom!
With a loud bang, the criminal Busch, driving a car, struck a pedestrian wearing a white shirt while braking suddenly, then veered diagonally into the sidewalk, directly destroying a fire hydrant.
Chaos erupted on the street as people screamed and ran toward the dead victims, while others dodged the rain that was spraying from the fire hydrants.
But the next moment, everything seemed to restart as if rewinding. The car didn't kill the pedestrian; instead, it flew into the air a second before impact, as if lifted up by some invisible humanoid creature, like Superman...
But there is no Superman.
This image has disappeared.
At this moment, history has once again gone astray.
In an instant, the entire world began to collapse. Countless people and things shattered like broken glass, leaving only a blank space. And then…
Then Dr. Manhattan heard the waitress's voice:
"What would you like to order, sir? We have the best coffee here."
He refocused his attention on what was in front of him.
Dr. Manhattan is able to observe every point in time on the hypertimeline simultaneously.
He waved his hand, both to dismiss the waitress and to rewrite history.
Soon, the green car reappeared in the distance, driving very fast.
The criminal Busch is driving this car; he's a nobody, yet he's setting the stage for the entire DC multiverse.
This is the beginning of history, and the timeline radiates outwards from this central point towards both the future and the past.
Rather than calling it a small car, it's more accurate to describe it as the throne at the very center of the DC multiverse.
If all goes well, Superman should soon make his grand entrance in his red and blue suit and his classic red shorts.
This is a historic moment.
The beginning of everything.
But now, history has no protagonist.
The green car rammed into the pedestrians again.
Dr. Manhattan stared intently.
He witnessed once again that the car was being lifted up by some invisible humanoid creature...
Ok?
Dr. Manhattan saw the transparent silhouette flicker and then transform into Superman Ultra. Instead of wearing his classic energy-absorbing suit, he wore glasses and a plaid shirt, making this move in the most classic nerdy Clark Kent style.
The timeline collapses again in the next second.
The green sedan is here again, and this time it's being lifted up by the first-generation light-up hero, Huo Rong.
His translucent, textured body was completely out of place in the 1938 art style. His appearance was too avant-garde and sci-fi for 1938. Unless he wore red shorts, he didn't look like a 1938 superhero at all.
The timeline has collapsed again.
One figure after another appeared.
They all tried to lift the green car. Some people managed to lift it partially, some managed to lift it halfway, and some couldn't lift it even a little bit.
Dr. Manhattan even saw a Doomsday wearing Superman's shorts, or as Heroes' Day would be called.
In an instant, Dr. Manhattan saw all the changes.
He already knew which figures would appear next, so there was no need for him to keep watching. He shook his head and was just about to look away when he saw another important figure.
An older version of Batman: Dragon.
He appeared in front of the green car, seemingly trying to lift it up with force.
But he failed and was instead pushed off balance by the car.
Enraged, he transformed into a dragon-like creature and devoured the green car in two like a cake, terrifying the criminal so much that he urinated.
Of course, this history also crumbled in an instant.
Soon, the replacement for Superman was also rapidly changing. This time, it was Barbatos who replaced Superman, or rather, Barbatos who was fighting against the Anti-Monitor.
They lifted the green car while tearing at each other. The scene resembled a person biting a dog.
The scene was utterly pointless, and Dr. Manhattan, likewise, lost interest in the counter-surveillance agents. He…
Dr. Manhattan turned his head.
New changes have occurred on the timeline, and he can quickly browse through them all.
The anti-monitor, who was still entangled with Barbatos, suddenly fell silent.
He endured Barbatos's attacks, turned his head with great difficulty, and looked around at the scene.
He did not see Dr. Manhattan.
If he were a counter-surveillance agent at his peak during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, he might be able to see through the surrounding scenery that a conspicuous blue bag was sitting in a coffee shop not far away.
But now the anti-surveillance agent was only a little confused. Then he raised the car again, and the next moment, he and the car disappeared.
Then the world shattered once again, and the timeline was reassembled once more, exhausting endless changes and extending toward a collapsing future.
In an instant, Dr. Manhattan read about a brand new future.
"Because I felt like I had returned to 1938, I realized something."
Dr. Manhattan shook his head and continued to observe the ever-changing history.
It wasn't history that he interfered with; it was the DC multiverse's self-healing process.
He is Dr. Manhattan.
He was conducting an experiment.
……
……
……
The anti-surveillance activists are very eloquent and quick-witted.
After the Foolish Owl told him that this energy was enough to restart history, the Anti-Monitor immediately saw through his sinister intentions.
Is this the Foolish Owl saying, "Is there enough energy?"
No, the subtext of this statement is, you damn anti-surveillance agents, it's time to hand over the energy you've absorbed into the cosmic tuning fork.
Stop talking nonsense and get the energy out of there!
Don't try to be greedy! We all agreed beforehand that all the energy would go to Superman.
But for those who oppose surveillance... what a joke! They swallow it, and there's no reason for them to spit it out.
The Monitor now has virtually no control, or rather, he has voluntarily relinquished control. Barbatos has been suppressed, the Batman Who Laughs has been driven away, and his attempt to steal the timeline has also failed.
The Foolish Owl and Batman Dragon possess a portion of the control the Monitor has given them, but this pitiful control is negligible.
The Cosmic Tuning Fork is almost entirely under the control of the Anti-Monitor, provided that the Monitor does not turn against it. However, the Anti-Monitor has already prepared contingency plans to deal with the potential betrayal of the Monitor.
In this situation, the Anti-Monitor could seemingly hand over the energy to gain everyone's trust, then calmly resume launching Dark Night Metal, and finally run away with all the energy.
But in fact, the anti-surveillance agents have already keenly discerned the thoughts of Superman Supreme and Batman.
Using the foolish owl as a pretext, regardless of whether he relinquishes his power or not, Batman Dragon and Superman Supreme will eliminate him first.
On this point, the two of them reached a conclusion without needing to say a word, damn it.
This is not a multiple-choice question, but a question where you are bound to lose no matter what you choose. So, the first choice for the anti-surveillance agent is naturally to eat the food.
He and the Monitor were the only two sixth-dimensional gods on the field, whether it was Superman or Chen Tao...
Clearly, both of them preferred that it be Barbatos, the severely crippled sixth-dimensional god-dog, who, together with Superman Supreme, completed the Dark Night Metal Descendant in the main universe timeline, thus creating the appropriate crisis force, rather than having the treacherous old devil, the Anti-Monitor, do it.
"Damn it, you two..."
The Anti-Monitor immediately sprang to his feet, and the next moment, Superman's fist grazed Barbatos's body. The Anti-Monitor immediately activated the crisis energy he had collected to protect himself.
"How dare you!"
Before the anti-surveillance agent could even utter a sound, he heard Batman Dragon scream at him, pointing and yelling insults:
"How dare you use our crisis energy to protect yourself?"
What is your crisis energy?
The anti-surveillance agent looked somewhat gloomy; he hadn't expected to suddenly find himself surrounded and attacked by everyone.
"Listen to me, Batman: The Dragon."
"Tell your mother!"
There's simply no way to communicate with them, not even Superman the Primal, nor Batman: Dragon.
The Anti-Monitor controlled Barbatos's body. This time, he didn't use the Crisis Energy. It wasn't because he did whatever Batman told him to do, but because he wasn't like the Evil Powers who could use the Crisis Energy that the Maniac had acquired with him without any burden.
The Anti-Monitor manipulates its clones to collect crisis energy downstream in the hypertime stream in order to liberate its prime during the infinite Earth crisis.
It has a clear goal to be achieved; the more crisis energy it has, the greater the probability that the anti-monitor will come down.
Every bit of crisis energy is the hope for the anti-monitors to escape the infinite Earth crisis period and reach the downstream of the super-time flow.
Rather than burning the crisis energy or Barbatos' dark matter energy, injuring Barbatos in exchange for the Anti-Monitor gaining the crisis energy, it's obviously better to injure Barbatos.
"Don't hurt Barbatos!"
Chen Tao grabbed Supreme Superman's shoulder: "We still need Barbatos to trigger the Dark Night Metal!"
Upstream of the super-time stream.
The Anti-Monitor during the Crisis on Infinite Earths observes this battle downstream in the timeline.
He could never accept losing this body in the Hypertime Flow. He had already fused the Anti-Monitor's body with Barbatos's. If Barbatos truly expelled his will from his body, then the Anti-Monitor would be without even a representative clone in the Hypertime Flow. All his previous efforts would have been in vain.
He could never accept that, so no matter what, he had to…
Ok?
The anti-surveillance agent suddenly felt a kind of suction force pulling it further upstream in history.
What does that mean? Right now, at this very moment?
It's not history before the Infinite Earth Crisis, but an even earlier past, the origin of the Hypertime Stream.
The anti-surveillance agent was momentarily stunned. He saw a green car heading straight for a pedestrian on the road.
No one could trap a sixth-dimensional deity in such an illusion.
Especially since he was the sixth-dimensional deity at his peak during the Infinite Earth Crisis.
The anti-surveillance person's first instinct was to escape the situation, but then they immediately stopped.
He stared blankly at the green car that was heading straight for pedestrians in the distance, then instinctively flew over it, realizing the scene he had entered.
This is the scene where Superman was born.
This is the beginning of the history of the multiverse.
His presence here is not due to anyone's control, but rather a cry for help from history and timeline. History and timeline are pleading with him for help, which is why he has been placed here.
He is, after all, a sixth-dimensional deity, far superior to Batman, Dragon, or Superman Supreme.
That's why the multiverse only sought his help, and by using this plea for help, he was able to...
We've glimpsed the potential future development of time-travel!
This is not just a simple green car; it symbolizes the center of the DC multiverse, the central throne that spans the timeline of history.
Even a brief stay on the throne would be enough to help the anti-surveillance agents.
The next moment, the anti-surveillance agent was out of sight, and he saw that everyone was surrounding him.
The face of the Supreme Superman was filled with compassion, and his eyes glowed red.
A mentally ill lunatic.
Batman Dragon spread his bat wings and, with a broad smile, shielded Superman Supreme in front of him.
That treacherous and cunning bastard, he might be the one who orchestrated this attack on me.
If Chen Tao knew what the anti-surveillance agents were thinking, he would definitely cry foul.
Although he had the same idea, the World Forgers had already accomplished this much faster than him.
Look at Superman, he was the one who wanted to do this first, what does it have to do with me?
Heroes' Day.
Barbatos, who could rebel at any moment, and his good brother, the Watcher, remain hidden.
He's very strong at counter-surveillance.
But this does not mean that he can single-handedly withstand the tacit siege that almost everyone knows about.
"Charge! Rescue Lord Barbatos!!!"
Currently, both the Anti-Monitoring and Supreme Superman Chen Tao are fighting with some hesitation, and Supreme Superman, despite his immense power, cannot fully utilize it.
However, despite this, as the battle continues, the counter-surveillance agents will inevitably lose.
But it doesn't matter, the anti-surveillance person's lips curled up slightly.
He has already seen the future, the future that the multiverse is revealing to him, a future beyond the flow of time.
