Chapter 1063 I will be the only one to follow the law!
(Holy crap, I fell asleep with the lights on again last night, and when I opened my eyes it was 5:00 AM, and I jumped up.)
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
dong dong dong dong!
The sound was like a drumbeat, buzzing in his ears.
Chen Tao even felt a slight dizziness. He hadn't expected the Superman in the main universe to fail, and to fail so quickly. Although deep down he had mentally prepared for the possibility of Superman's failure, he still found it difficult to accept emotionally when it became a reality.
If even the last pillar of the DC multiverse has failed, what else can he hope for?
If the original fate of the DC multiverse was destruction, then Chen Tao simply failed to change history, allowing the world crisis to continue and repeating the same mistakes.
The problem is that if Chen Tao hadn't existed in the original history of the DC multiverse, the final ending of the story would have been at the end of Doomsday, with Doctor Manhattan giving up all his power to save both worlds.
The change in the events surrounding Dr. Manhattan's face-to-face encounter with Superman demonstrates that the existence of Chen Tao as a variable is precisely why the ending of Doomsday Bell differs from the comic book Chen Tao read. At this moment, Chen Tao has a sudden realization: he must find a way to salvage this history, and the outcome of salvaging this history—
"Is this the comic book I saw?"
But how?
Chen Tao only had a general outline and ideas. He was very confused. Even when he was making this possible backup plan, Chen Tao did not truly believe that he might actually need it one day.
But no matter what, the first thing to do is to reclaim Superman's body. Whether Superman is still alive or not, Chen Tao cannot abandon the core of this world. But now the opponent appears to have lost his fighting ability—damn it, whatever happened, Chen Tao needs to find a temporary replacement for the DC multiverse, just like he once had Superman Supreme assume the role of Superman in the DC multiverse—
Just like in the comics he read in his previous life, whenever Bruce Wayne was unable to appear for some reason, such as having his spine broken by Bane, Dick Grayson or another substitute would put on the Batman suit, take over the main Detective Comics series, until the well-known Bruce Wayne returned.
And he needs such a person now; he must meet both of Clark Kent's conditions: power.
There are many Clark Kents in the DC multiverse, after all, it's an infinite number of parallel universes, but only a very few can be considered truly powerful.
"Clark, Clark, can you hear me?"
Chen Tao tried to remotely summon Superman, but Superman's eyes were closed and he had no external injuries.
Chen Tao gritted his teeth. No matter what Dr. Manhattan might do, he had to try to save Superman in the main universe.
Regardless, Superman in the main universe remains his last hope.
What Chen Tao didn't notice was that at the moment he made this choice, the reality above the hypertimestream, progressing with its current pace, suddenly emitted an extremely faint—just a tiny——
Click sound.
As you can see, I am Pharaoh.
The so-called rescue of the people from suffering is often just a hypocritical pretext to mask the desire for dominance. My tireless efforts to save my world, even at the cost of slaughtering millions, are driven by either a superhero's sense of responsibility or a terrifying lust for control; even I can no longer tell.
In short, I am now fused with a cat. Boubastis used to be able to act as the faster-than-light particles that I used to block Joan's precognitive abilities. When he was still a cat, this ability was very weak. Dr. Manhattan could only not see Boubastis and the things around him as clearly as he could see other things. The cat was a blind spot in Dr. Manhattan's vision.
That cat had many other uses. It could absorb the faster-than-light particles left behind by Joan. When it absorbed enough, Joan could no longer ignore it and would be drawn to it—just as I had expected. But as I merged with Bubastis, all these abilities were transferred to me and received a further, explosive boost.
Previously, the cat Boubastis was just a blind spot for Dr. Manhattan, but for me, as long as I stand here, Dr. Manhattan becomes blind, no, or rather, as long as I want, everyone becomes blind.
This is an opportunity for me.
When I first came to the DC multiverse, I found traces in the library left by the most intelligent person in this universe, Batman.
And the other one—
Yes, what makes you think there's only one person?
Someone is hiding their shadow behind the scenes, just waiting for me to come to them.
So I came, just as he expected.
At this very moment, in the main universe, Pharaoh stood in Luthor's office in the LexCorp building, looking up at the mural on the wall: a demon descending from the sky—
"I admire your taste, Mr. Luther, and your ambition."
The Pharaoh turned his head and looked into the eyes of Lex Luthor in the secret room behind the office through the camera.
"I'm glad you didn't target my parallel universe counterpart who's obsessed with becoming the leader of the Justice League; he's been brainwashed by Batman Dragon."
Lex Luthor from the main universe said, "It may sound strange, but if a Luthor abandons the Luthor way of solving problems and tries to imitate the Justice League's methods, it's only natural that it will lead to bad results."
"Insightful indeed," the Pharaoh flattered.
"One tall, blue Boy Scout was annoying enough, and now two of them have merged together. And what's with this Batman Dragon thing, this mentally ill Batman cosplayer? Seriously, this is all too much. It's all incredibly annoying."
The Mother Goddess who created the entire DC multiverse only wants to produce boring, superpowered Down syndrome children; the Laughing Bat from a parallel universe is constantly tinkering with his pointless plan; and there's a psychopath from outside the multiverse trying to turn reality into children's books. What kind of monstrous things are in the DC multiverse?
The secret room in the office opened, and Pharaoh saw Lex Luthor emerge, arms outstretched, swaying as he walked out.
"Oh, and there's this huge blue bald guy, dangling his balls, trying to see which head is harder, his or the DC Multiverse. A bunch of mediocre people wield enormous power, subverting the safety of the world, like the most foolish person in the world holding the nuclear button, forcing even the wise to bow down."
Luther walked up to the Pharaoh: "But perhaps we have other options."
He told the other person, looking at them, "I've been watching you ever since you first tried to get into the DC Multiverse Trial — my friend."
He declared, "I want the DC multiverse—a world where I alone reign supreme!"
