I'm Really an Alchemist

From He gained the ability to manipulate elementary particles, to the establishment of the Watcher, designed by the Pharaoh and exiled to Mars.

All of these stories are told by Manhattan in a calm voice, as if it didn't happen to him.

until--

The Wall of Origin is broken.

"The future that originally had no secrets to me has become blurred." Manhattan's voice was a little lower: "I observed the multiverse and saw them - high-level existences from outside the domain, and they worked together to modify the multiverse. world line."

"I keep the memory of the world line before the modification. The world line of the multiverse has been modified a thousand and one times. The only purpose of their modification of the world line is to eliminate Superman."

"Clark Kent." Manhattan's expressionless eyes stared straight at the crowd.

Heard that the world line has been modified over a thousand times just to remove the traces of Superman.

Even Diana and Constantine, who were mentally prepared, couldn't help but turn pale.

but no one spoke,

Manhattan continued: "I left Mars to meet the Pharaoh and tell everything. Under pressure from outside, he cooperated with me, with his wisdom and my strength, to deal with the crisis outside the wall of origin."

Speaking of which, Manhattan paused for a long time.

"None of us think of one thing, our thoughts and memories, the secrets that are kept in the subconscious - knowable in their eyes, which leads to everything we do is nothing more than a hilarious joke."

"Bruce Wayne." Manhattan looked directly at the frowning man: "The infinite multiverse, the infinite Batman, the forks of their lives are all the same thing—you remember being eight years old, in the alley with your parents The gunmen you encountered in the

Bruce was slightly taken aback.

How could he forget such a thing. When he was eight years old, he and his parents met a gunman in Gotham Park. His parents almost died in the hands of the gangster to protect him. Fortunately, a policeman passed by and drove the gangster away. .

"That cop is me."

Manhattan said so.

Bruce took a sharp breath and stared at the blue head in the jar in disbelief.

"I changed your life and made Batman disappear. Only in this way, you will not be targeted by them, and you will not be stuffed into a parallel time and space alone like Barry Allen."

"I'm doing all this for today."

Accompanied by the sound, light and shadow flow in the void, and a dark uniform emerges.

Seeing this dark yet gorgeous uniform, Bruce only felt a sense of familiarity welling up in his heart.

"Batman uniform." Diana was the first to recognize it. She had seen other Batman in parallel time and space, and she also recognized this suit.

"I changed your life and took away everything about Batman, memories, skills, responsibilities, obligations." Manhattan looked at Bruce absentmindedly: "As long as you are willing to accept it, you can return to Batman."

silence.

Bruce was silent, and so was Manhattan.

Diana looked sad, Constantine breathed smoke, and Lex was expressionless.

Take it and go back to Batman... easier said than done.

Let a playboy accept the memory and responsibility of Batman. Batman is not a superhero in the ordinary sense. The pressure on his shoulders, the darkness he has seen, and the cruelty he has experienced are by no means an ordinary person can bear.

Accepting the bat suit is tantamount to accepting a burden that can overwhelm people.

The atmosphere was dull.

Everyone is waiting for Bruce to make his own choice, and the witcher, who has always been rude, does not dare to speak at this time and force the other party to make a choice.

Bruce stared blankly at the bat suit.

At this moment, he thought a lot.

Thinking of his lavish and carefree first half of his life, of his strict father and gentle mother, and of the housekeeper who accompanied him growing up, he has countless reasons to refuse.

I'm just a dude and this kind of crisis facing the planet shouldn't come to me!

Even if Skynet is wanting me, as long as I dodge this catastrophe and watch the hero take out Skynet, I can still go back to Gotham.

Go back to peaceful Gotham and live your old life.

Bruce took a deep breath, stretched out his hand slowly and firmly, and grabbed the bat suit in the void. He knew that he could choose to escape, but he grabbed the bat suit resolutely.

The essence of Batman is Bruce Wayne.

He's Bruce Wayne, and even if he's been happy for half his life, Bruce Wayne, whose parents are still alive -- he still has the responsibilities that Batman deserves.

This is also the reason why he can't tolerate the Penguin's chaos in Gotham. Batman's spirit has been sleeping in his soul until today, at this moment, and finally wakes up.

Touching the bat suit, the blue light suddenly skyrocketed, and in an instant, countless information and countless memories poured into Bruce's brain.

His body, which was hollowed out by the color of wine, became full of inexplicable power, and all the skills from Batman's tempered and tempered became the instinct of the body.

Everyone nervously looked at the man kneeling on the ground in the blue light.

In the wailing of pain, the blue light gradually disappeared. The man kneeling on the ground put on a bat suit and stood up in silence. His eyes were finally no longer confused and weak, but solemn and firm.

"Bruce."

Diana spoke with a little excitement.

Batman nodded lightly, turned to look at the head in the jar, and said in a low voice, "How do I find Clark?"

"Let me explain."

Lex, who had been silent for a long time, showed a sincere smile after Batman returned, as if laying down a heavy burden.

He clapped his hands lightly.

The base roared, the walls flipped, the ground rolled like waves, separated like Moses dividing the sea.

Then a ring-shaped strange device rose from the ground, dozens of meters in size, and the top was only a line away from the dome.

"Trans-universe teleportation device."

Lex said with a slight smile: "It took me three years to build it with the help of Dr. Manhattan."

"Superman is the core and hope of the multiverse. Dr. Manhattan has observed that the multiverse has undergone many restarts, but the origin of Superman has remained the same. What has changed is the time when he came to earth."

"The origin of the universe comes from Krypton's Destruction Day - the spaceship carrying hope flew out from Krypton, and from then on, the multiverse has a past and a future." Lex smiled slowly: "After the wall of origin was broken, Four beings from outside the realm, they modified a thousand and one times to erase Superman from the entire multiverse."

"The Superman of Universe Zero no longer exists, nor the Superman of any other Universe."

"That's why there is no superman in the infinite multiverse."

Lex was silent for a moment, as if recalling the old rival who could only be seen in Manhattan's memory.

"How do you know that Clark is gone, not dead?"

Batman asked.

"Superman is the core of the multiverse. If he dies, the multiverse we are in will deviate from the development of the original world. Except for the supreme existence, the past and the future will all disappear."

Manhattan explained calmly: "I've looked into the infinite multiverse, and I haven't found Superman. There's only one possibility—"

Batman lowered his eyes and said solemnly: "He is in the multiverse outside the wall of origin!"

"That's right!" Lex snapped his fingers and pointed at the ring machine: "This device can lead to other multiverses." He shook his head: "It is thanks to the broken wall of origin that I can create it. Teleporters to other multiverses."

"The Wall of Origination protects us from outsider gods, but it also prevents us from going to outsider worlds."

Lex Luthor sighed in a low voice, not knowing what mood to say these words.

Diana looked at the inter-universe teleportation device and said, "In other multiverses, can we find Clark? It's not that easy!"

"Yes."

Lex also looked at the trans-universe teleportation device.

"We don't know what Superman is like in other multiverses, maybe he's not Clark Kent/Kal-El, has another name and lineage, is no longer Kryptonian, and doesn't have Kryptonian powers."

"But only one thing will not change." Lex strengthened his tone: "He is still hope."

"Justice and hope are the essence of him that will not change. No matter whether his appearance changes, his name changes, or his race changes, he is still a hero who brings hope, courage, and miracles to anyone!"

Lex gave the three of them white bracelets.

The wristband is loaded with a cross-universe teleportation program, as well as an intelligent system programmed by Manhattan himself, which can search for life similar to Superman in the multiverse, so as to determine whether the other party is Superman.

Although no one knows what the other multiverse is like, and whether they have no return, they have no hesitation, even the most greedy witcher, in the face of a real crisis, will also carry duty as a hero.

Batman put on the bracelet, took the equipment Lex prepared, and walked to the circular cross-world portal.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Manhattan.

"If it took us a long time to find Clark, is it too late?"

Manhattan: "When the extraterritorial high invaded our universe, the high existence, headed by God, separated the influence of the other multiverses in a hypertemporal stream, which caused the time rates of different multiverses to be completely different."

"You have enough time to find Superman."

Batman stared at Manhattan for a long time, nodded, and took Diana and Constantine into the cross-world portal.

"Aren't you going to leave together?"

Manhattan looked at Lex.

"After I die, Skynet will discover this place as soon as possible and take over the base. Your group will also be taken over by Skynet, so why not leave with them."

To activate the portal out of the DC multiverse, it takes an extremely terrifying amount of energy, which is the sum of several cosmic energies.

Lex couldn't create such a huge amount of energy.

There is only one way to activate the portal - Dr. Manhattan.

He will use himself as an energy source to support the opening of the portal. If it is Dr. Manhattan in the heyday of the past, it will not cost much, but with only one head left,

There is only one way to sacrifice.

"No, I want to stay." Lex leaned on the cold column and slowly lit his cigarette: "I want to see how this world will change, you didn't tell me that Skynet will not kill people casually, They capture special groups just to experiment."

"I've never done an experiment, so I'm quite interested."

Manhattan said no more and closed his eyes.

The blue head turned into a bunch of condensed energy, flew out of the bottle and rushed into the trans-universe portal. With the buzzing, the huge ring device rotated left and right, and the manic wind pushed Lex back.

Lex looked excited, looking at the spinning portal with intense blue light floating around him.

Bang!

The ring device disappeared into the air.
