Chapter 479： Post-war arrangements

The crisis of Darkside’s invasion was lifted in this way. It’s just that the superheroes who fought **** the earth could only feel astonished. The appearance of Dr. Manhattan completely exceeded everyone’s expectations. No one had ever thought that there would be a return on the earth. There is such a terrible powerhouse guarding.

After Dr. Manhattan wiped out billions of the Apocalypse army and easily killed Darkside, the superheroes couldn’t help wondering what the meaning of their previous efforts were. If this man was willing to make a move, almost There is nothing that can be called a crisis. There is no such thing as a dark night, a lightning paradox, and a crisis of the infinite earth. There is no Dr. Manhattan that cannot be solved by himself.

As long as he personally wishes.

As a world destroyer hidden in this world, Chen Lu has of course been brewing a plan to drive away Dr. Manhattan. The overall idea is naturally the same as before, making this god-level figure realize that humans have nothing to protect, just as the Pharaoh designed to frame him as the greatest threat to mankind in the original Guardian.

So the first thing to do is to prevent Dr. Manhattan from becoming the greatest contributor to saving the world this time. If we let people know what Dr. Manhattan did in this crisis, it would be strange not to regard him as the savior who came to the world.

In fact, several civilians who have witnessed the appearance of Dr. Manhattan have begun to believe in what they believe to be the true **** of the incarnation. After all, they have witnessed such a miraculous power, and they can only express their worship through faith.

So the first thing Chen Lu did was to completely extinguish the mouth of these witnesses.

This is not too difficult. Originally, in this disaster, there were not many civilians who were able to get so close to the fiercest battlefield and survived the disaster. A few people were quickly found under the financial resources of Stark Industries. The silent world evaporated. The hundreds of millions of casualties caused by the invasion of the Apocalypse star to the earth do not care about a few more.

The civilians are quite easy to solve, but the superheroes on the front line fighting against Darkside again are not so easy to deal with. Being able to come back alive in this war is a proof of strength in itself, even Chen Lu There is no way to solve it all so quietly.

However, Darkside’s invasion not only revealed to Chen Lu that Dr. Manhattan is a dangerous enemy, but also severely wounded the two remaining giants of the Justice League Wonder Woman and Aquaman. Each of them was rescued by their own people. In Paradise Island, the other is in the Atlantis training.

For a time, the Justice League was in the dilemma of a group of dragons without a leader, and Chen Lu's outstanding performance against the steppe wolves in the battle naturally made him the most powerful figure in the entire Justice League.

So in the simple conference room after the war, Chen Lu’s first request was to let the superheroes keep the appearance of Dr. Manhattan secret. In the face of the confused crowd, he said this:

"We still cannot be sure whether the return of Dr. Manhattan is a savior or a threat. He has tremendous power, but he has not assisted us in any previous crisis. Not to mention that he has caused 1.5 million casualties in history, even if the time is right. Today, many people still regard his return as the doomsday. In order to avoid unnecessary panic, it is better not to tell the nation about the appearance of Dr. Manhattan."

For Chen Lu who knows the ending of "Watchmen", he naturally knows that the death of 1.5 million people in the past was planted on Dr. Manhattan by the super villain Pharaoh, in order to make mankind share the enemy's plan to end the US-Soviet nuclear war. It's just that Dr. Manhattan himself accepted this plan, and the only hero Rorschach who was willing to tell the masses was also killed by him.

So on this world line, even the Justice League believes that Dr. Manhattan is a dangerous man who has caused the deaths of millions of people. No one realizes that he is essentially a superhero defending the earth.

Using this, Chen Lu can ask others not to tell the truth about Dr. Manhattan's saving the world.

But this naturally brings up another question. If the existence of Dr. Manhattan cannot be exposed, who should be credited for defeating Darkside? The Justice League was vulnerable under the attack of Darkside. This is a fact that many people have seen. Without Chen Lu's help, the news of the Justice League's defeat in the battle has spread throughout the world.

At this time, Chen Lu gave an answer that was very in line with the Justice League principles: "Then we will say nothing, neither tell the public the truth, nor use lies to deceive them. I think silence is better for you. Lies come easy."

The superheroes also recognized this scheme. They are not good liars, but they are definitely experts in keeping secrets, otherwise they cannot hide their true identity for so long. It's just that they didn't expect that under such a simple request, Chen Lu also concealed another purpose.

When the Apocalypse began to invade, the media was already publicizing the deeds of Steel Bone leading a group of new superhumans to battle with the Apocalypse and finally closing the portal This time, it was also under the control of Chen Lu. The disadvantaged situation of the Justice League against Darkside has also been portrayed with added vigour.

Following this opportunity, the image of the justice league’s salvation heroes was completely insecure, and the people actually began to rely more on those new superhumans who had caused them countless troubles, and of course they began to doubt the bats leading this group of new superhumans. Is Xia really sinful as described by the Justice League?

In such an atmosphere, the credit for defeating the Darkside conspiracy was unknowingly worn on the head of Batman who can always perform miracles. Although there is no definite evidence, countless people have tacitly believed that only Batman can do such an incredible thing.

The Justice League did not come forward to make any excuses in accordance with the Chen Lu's designated plan, so the rumors of Batman's salvation spread. The public did not realize the return of Dr. Manhattan, but began to question the Justice League's decision to expel Batman.

As for Batman, of course, they also know the big news about the return of Dr. Manhattan. It is just with Batman’s proactive character. He has long been committed to finding a way to solve this hidden threat that is more numerous and countless times greater than Superman’s loss of control. He didn't care what the ordinary people thought of this incident.

Just as he didn't care about the hatred of the Gotham people at the beginning.

The next step for Chen Lu is to figure out how to make mankind gradually treat Dr. Manhattan as an enemy. After all, not every superhero has the broad mind of Batman. Dr. Manhattan’s thinking has surpassed that of human beings. He is not totally insensitive to hostility and framing.

This is the biggest weakness that Chen Law can take advantage of.
