Chapter 946 Watchmen and Dr. Manhattan
Watchmen, a strange world.
If we distinguish between low magic, medium magic, and high magic, then the world of Watchers is completely close to a super-low magic world without magic, because although there are "superheroes" in this plane in the 1980s, , but they are just ordinary people with strong bodies, who will also die under the fire of firearms.
The good news is that there is only one superhero with real superpowers in this dimension; the bad news is that this superhero, known as "Dr. Manhattan" by others, is so powerful that he is not in the same dimension as the others at all. .
"Although Jon Osterman is just an ordinary physicist, after the experiment on November 9, 1959, if God really exists, then he must be an American."
Yang Yun rubbed his temples and introduced the Watcher's world view to everyone in the Central Continent team. In other words, the only strong man in the world worthy of the attention of the Central Continent team, Dr. Manhattan: "A man who was born as a result of an erroneous experiment and walks in the world." God among men...this is Dr. Manhattan."
"How strong?"
Although "Watchmen" is a Hugo Award-winning comic book that has been written since the 1980s and is famous around the world, it was not until 2009 that it was actually made into a movie nearly twenty-five years later. Years ago, it was natural that Zheng Zha and others did not know much about it.
However, even though he didn’t know much about the story background of Watchmen and was fully confident in his own strength, he heard Yang Yun speak so solemnly, especially when he used adjectives like “god” and “god” to describe Manhattan. Doctor, Zheng Zha couldn't help but become serious: "Describe it roughly?"
"...If we really want to make an analogy, then Dr. Manhattan's strength is probably that of at least a junior saint."
Thinking of Dr. Manhattan's performance in the movie of observing time, modifying reality, reorganizing the body, creating life, teleporting to Mars, etc., Yang Yun, who has experienced many battles, can't help but feel that it is quite difficult: "It doesn't work anymore." , and will be stronger than Fei Mian, who is an immortal."
"Hiss... I just beat an immortal, and now I'm beating a saint?" Zheng Zha took a breath of air.
Do I fight a saint? real or fake?
"Otherwise? Dr. Manhattan's ability is to 'manipulate quantum'. You must have a rough understanding of how powerful this ability is."
Yang Yun spread his hands and said helplessly: "And based on our current strength and the main god's consistent style, the only person in this world who can pose a threat to us is Dr. Manhattan."
"Wait a minute, although I haven't seen too many movies, but according to normal logic, since Dr. Manhattan is a superhero, there should also be super villains, right?"
On the other side, Cheng Xiao raised his hand and expressed a different opinion: "Why do we have to fight against Dr. Manhattan? According to our Central Continent team's behavior and predetermined stance, shouldn't we go fight super villains with Dr. Manhattan under normal circumstances? …”
"Because in the world of Watchmen, there are no super villains at all."
Yang Yun sighed and answered Cheng Xiao's question: "In other words, the villain 'Pharaoh' is just an ordinary BOSS, and the real BOSS is Dr. Manhattan."
——A world without super villains?
As soon as Yang Yun said these words, some people in the Zhongzhou team were stunned, while others were thoughtful. After a while, Qi Teng opened his mouth and asked: "So, is it not black and white, but a gray world..."
"Yes, that's right, Watchmen has such a contradictory world view."
Yang Yun spread his hands and said helplessly: "Except for Dr. Manhattan, the other superheroes in the group of six are ordinary people without special powers. Perhaps they have undergone genetic modification experiments and the Pharaoh who can catch bullets with his bare hands has Equivalent to the strength of the first level, but nothing more... In addition, a superhero was even shot to death when his cape was caught in the automatic door when he was preventing a bank robber from robbing. "
"But this is too strange. Adding a character like Dr. Manhattan to such an ordinary world is different from putting a tiger into an ant nest."
Zheng Zha scratched his head crazily. He had just created his own "Axe Cutting the Universe, Xi Huang Painting". He firmly believed that the power gained from down-to-earth was the most correct path. It was difficult for him to understand the reason: "And how did Dr. Manhattan become So powerful? If according to Yang Yun's statement, he only gained such a powerful power due to a wrong experiment, it would be too casual..."
"There are many casual characters like this in American comics. As a saying goes, rich people rely on technology, while poor people rely on mutation. That's it."
Yang Yun spread his hands and said helplessly: "Superheroes like Spider-Man who gained superpowers after being bitten by a mutated spider are okay, but more American comic characters are completely unreasonable."
"After being exposed to gamma ray radiation, the Hulk can increase his strength infinitely as long as he becomes angry; after drinking a bottle of potion, the anti-hero Sentinel gains the energy equivalent to the explosion of a million stars... In comparison, Dr. Manhattan, who annihilated his body in the quantum conversion experiment and returned to the real world after his mind wandered to the antimatter realm, is already a reasonable person. "
"After all, it's 'indecision, quantum mechanics'."
——Quantum mechanics is a universal excuse for being indecisive, but it is so appropriate when used on Dr. Manhattan.
"...With such a huge gap in strength, how did they form a superhero team?"
Even though he had ten thousand questions in his mind, Zheng Zha, who understood the meaning of this sentence, could only accept this "argument that is not an explanation."
Just pressing down on the gourd made the gourd rise. One question was suppressed, and a second question immediately emerged. Compared with the powerful strength of Dr. Manhattan, it is more difficult for Zheng Zha to understand the process of forming this superhero team: "Although the Justice League is often called 'Superman and his pendants,' at least Batman has the intellectual responsibility. People are all superheroes who can stand alone, perform their own duties, and possess great strength. A strong man like this who can change the world with a single thought and is comparable to a god is doing some things like playing house..."
Zheng Zha organized his words, as if trying to find a suitable word to describe Dr. Manhattan's thoughts, but in the end he could only give up and muttered: "...it's too weird."
"Either that, it's the game world."
While Yang Yun answered Zheng Zha's question, he turned his attention to Chu Xuan, who had said nothing so far: "Either it is a god who no longer has feelings and was once a 'human' and wants to retain his past self - —”
"Thus, limit your bonds and memories as anchors and anchor your own humanity." (End of Chapter)
