Chapter 992 Choice

"It's you..."

After seeing the finger that was offset from the world line, Zheng Zha felt surprised and enlightened.

After hearing Dr. Manhattan read the book titled "Infinite Horror" with him as the protagonist, Zheng Zha had always been curious about why his experience was so different from the original world line.

Not only the partners and enemies encountered, but also the world of Lord God's missions have undergone earth-shaking changes. Harry Potter, Pacific Rim, Red Alert II, Legend of Sword and Fairy... If there really is such a thing as... "World line deviation", then the world line that Zheng Zha is now in has only a name similar to the most primitive infinite horror.

“The universe is splitting into different world lines all the time, emerging one after another like ever-growing branches.”

Dr. Manhattan said calmly: "And I just promoted the possibility of the birth of another world line at the end of the era, which led to the world you live in now, reaching this step."

——Even so, it is simply unimaginable to me...

Zheng Zha shook his head and smiled slightly. Although Dr. Manhattan said it was easy, Zheng Zha just felt that, let alone himself, even if those beings called junior saints or senior saints knew about this matter, they could not imagine how the blue giant in front of him could do it. ... alone intercepted the timeline of ten years and pulled out an independent world line with just a few movements. This is simply something that only "gods" can accomplish.

"But compared to these, there are more important things in front of me now."

Zheng Zha's eyes once again fell on the charred page in Dr. Manhattan's hand. At this moment, the two people who were still confronting each other had begun to fight. Behind Yang Yun stood a majestic tree, facing a demon god with three heads and six arms. Chi You, the Dharma Prime Minister, fought fiercely.

Zheng Zha, who remembered everything, would not sit idly by while his teammates were fighting. A firm light flashed in the man's eyes: "Yang Yun is still fighting... I have to help him."

Unexpectedly, Dr. Manhattan shook his head and gave a negative answer: "You can't do it."

Hearing this sentence, Zheng Zha, who was thinking about how he should get into the book again, suddenly raised his head in shock: "What do you mean I can't do it?"

"Because in that era that is about to be destroyed, your story has ended, and only those who have an undetermined ending when the story unexpectedly ends can end the unfinished cause and effect."

Dr. Manhattan replied: "There should not be any corresponding intersection between 'past' and 'present', and you who meet me now have your own choices to make."

"What choice?"

No matter how slow Zheng Zha was, he understood at this moment that this may be the reason why he entered this blank space, which may not even be within the current multiverse, and met Dr. Manhattan... and after experiencing so many After the conversation, the blue giant in front of him finally got to the point.

“Decide on ‘now’ choices.”

But the next moment, what Dr. Manhattan said made Zheng Zha stunned on the spot: "Similarly, it is also a choice that determines the 'future' fate of the entire multiverse."

"……ha?"

Suddenly, the importance of the topic was raised by Dr. Manhattan to a level that was difficult for Zheng Zha to understand. He was stunned on the spot, with a confused expression of "I don't understand what you are saying" all over his face. .

Fortunately, Dr. Manhattan then slowly floated the blackened pages in his hand, allowing Zheng Zha to see the scene more clearly: "The bell of doomsday has sounded, and the ten-year deadline is about to arrive."

"When all causes and effects are resolved, the previous era will completely come to an end, and the entire multiverse will also be completely reborn."

As he spoke, countless other scenes appeared in the surrounding space. Zheng Zha was surprised to find that whether it was Qi Tengyi, Luo Gandao and others who were still in the world of Rorschach's Diary, or Zhan Lan, Zhang Heng and others in the real world of Watchers, or even Xiao Honglu of the Arctic Team, In addition, Wang Xia and Liu Yu, who had not entered the main god space at all in this era, fell into a deep sleep at this moment...

What surprised Zheng Zha the most was that the bodies of these sleeping Zhongzhou team members were not only translucent, but also had ghost images from time to time. It was as if two identical members of them were superimposed on each other at this moment. Like...

"What's going on?" Zheng Zha looked at everything he couldn't understand, and quickly turned to Dr. Manhattan, seeking answers from this omniscient blue giant: "Doctor, could it be you..."

"I didn't do anything."

Regarding Zheng Zha's question, Dr. Manhattan responded: "This will not endanger their safety, it is just a normal natural phenomenon."

"There is already quantum entanglement between the same characters in the past era and the present era, and their fates will tend to be synchronized until they are completely integrated. And since the battle in the old era has not yet been decided, the outcome of the battle with that battle will not be determined yet. Everyone involved is caught in a superposition of the old and the new.”

——Is this kind of thing really possible?

Zheng Zha subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when he saw Wang Xia and Liu Yu who seemed inexplicably familiar to him even though he had never seen them before, he found that he could definitely name them. At the same time, some memories seemed to be gradually reviving in his mind...

“At the moment when the old and new eras change, when everything is chaotic and different concepts are confused with each other, I can intervene.”

Looking at Zheng Zha who was rubbing his temples, Dr. Manhattan's words contained no emotion or anger at all: "For example, let the relationship between the old era and the new era be interchanged, thereby realizing the rebirth of the old era."

"Then choose, Zheng Zha. If you choose to let the old era continue, then the world line will return to its original track, and your past partners will return, but everything you experience after entering the main god space will be equivalent to Never happened."

"How is this possible? How could I abandon everything now?" Zheng Zha denied without hesitation: "I..."

"And if you choose the continuation of the new era, it means the complete destruction of the old era, and Yang Yun, who is still in the old era, will also lose the chance of resurrection and will be forgotten."

But then, the shocking news made Zheng Zha just stand on the spot, staring blankly at Dr. Manhattan in front of him, listening to him speak those cruel words——

"Now, it's time for you to make your choice."
