Chapter 494： New agenda

At this time, the news that Steel Bone met Dr. Manhattan disguised by Law Chen on the Apocalypse also spread to the earth through an undamaged black box, and spread on the earth through unknown channels. Most of the people who had just ended the Darkside War witnessed the sight of the steel frame being shot on the Apocalypse by Chen Li, who was projected by the quantum body. The overwhelming power gap and the iconic action exploded from the body made them have no doubt that this was the work of Dr. Manhattan.

For a time, people began to talk about this powerful figure who "suddenly" appeared. Many older generations of Americans who have heard of the stories of the previous generation of superhero watchmen can't help but recall that under the threat of Dr. Manhattan, people had to put aside all their prejudices. Even the United States and the Soviet Union had to end the Cold War and join hands to resist.

The headline of the newspaper the next day was-"Monsters Threatening All Mankind Haunt Again! 》

Although most people don’t know about Dr. Manhattan’s strength that far surpasses Darkside due to Chen Lu’s news blockade, as long as it is heard that his power can easily cause millions of deaths, it is even more dependent on it. The two sides of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union, had to join forces to confront each other with their own strength, knowing that those who came were by no means general, at least as threats as Darkside.

However, the earth that has just experienced the invasion of the Apocalypse has almost no energy left to deal with this bottomless monster. As the main force of the Apocalypse, the Amazons and the Atlantis army have suffered heavy losses. The two leaders Wonder Woman and Aquaman were both injured and yet to return, and the Batman coalition was another general. Therefore, no one in the Justice League still has the confidence to say that they can solve this crisis.

Therefore, whether to find a way to negotiate or firmly arrest has become the focus of the debate.

"Unlike Darkside, he was at least an earthling." Atomic Ray Palmer appealed his opinion at the Justice League meeting. "So I think at least he is not incapable of communicating. He also helped us before. Didn't you beat Darkside? So as long as you can talk to him, you may be able to resolve some misunderstandings."

Immediately, Captain Magic stood up and objected: "Please don’t ignore the fact that he has taken the lives of millions of people and then left. I can’t let go of a wicked person like this. You have seen it too, and Steel Bone didn’t attack him in the first place. Any aggressive behavior was immediately killed by him. Dr. Manhattan is a heinous villain and an enemy we should deal with with all our strength!"

"But I have to say that we can defeat Darkside only if he appears. Even to put it bluntly, Darkside was dealt with by him."

"That doesn't mean that he has good intentions for us. Who knows what his purpose is for doing this?"

"I think if he had malicious intent, he would have killed us all at the time."

"Then how do you explain his merciless treatment of steel bones?"

······

The only Chen Lu who knew the answers to all these questions sat in the middle of the conference room without saying a word. He knew that in this case, his word would completely determine the direction of the Justice League’s actions. This is what he has worked hard all the way. Results. But Chen Lu is not in a hurry to let the Justice League speak out, because he still has to wait for Batman's attitude.

The focus of this plan is not what attitude the Justice League adopts, but rather that the route decided by the Justice League must diverge from the one decided by Batman, so that Dr. Manhattan can see the degree of malice that humans have toward him. .

But it can't just be as simple as the United States and the Soviet Union teaming up to deal with him. It is too simple for mankind to work together for a while.

On Batman's side, they naturally received the bad news of the steel bone being torn apart on the Apocalypse. The black box that can be brought back may mean that the steel frame has the possibility of recovery, but this possibility is still in theory, and no one can guarantee that the steel frame will appear intact.

After losing the steel frame, there are only two students, Nightwing and Robin, and a group of new superhumans who have been recruited to join Batman. Under Chen Lu’s deliberate manipulation, they were portrayed by the media as true heroes who contributed more to the Justice League in the Darkside War, but Batman himself knew that most of these people were far from superheroes. Far away, let alone a comrade-in-arms who can satisfy him.

In their conference room, the quarrel was much more intense than the Justice League, and almost all excited young people started fighting. It's just that compared to the Justice League, they are more worried about the strength of Dr. Manhattan. This group of young people who are extremely swollen because of the high praise of the media are mostly calling for revenge for the steel. No matter how powerful Dr. Manhattan has shown and how threatening it would be, this group of newborn calves will not be in the eye.

Fortunately, Batman still has the authority to speak of one thing in this camp, so he just waved his hand and the crowd temporarily calmed down. Unlike this group of young people who can be easily deceived, Batman quickly discovered the problem.

"The Dr. Manhattan in the black box video is a little different from the information I got on Earth before."

Batman pressed the remote control, and the scene of the steel bone being shattered with a wave of his hand was repeatedly played on the screen.

"Dr. Manhattan's ability should be to decompose a person from the inside into a bunch of elementary particles. Muscles, bones, and internal organs will all be crushed in an instant, leaving at most a pool of plasma, not even a trace of broken bones. "

Then he lifted the steel-bonded black box that had been transported back from the Apocalypse. This mechanical structure was big enough for Batman's palm: "And the ability that appears in the video is more like tearing steel bones from the body. Scattered and crushed part by part, so the black box is left to be sent back. The two look very similar, but there is an essential difference in ability."

Nightwing reacted immediately: "In other words, that is not the real Doctor Manhattan?"

Robin Damian also muttered: "But no matter how you look at this guy, he is also the blue bald head. There is absolutely no other person in the world with this appearance."

"It's true that Dr. Manhattan's quantum body is almost impossible to imitate, but it is also true that he did not show complete quantum decomposition ability in the video." Batman tried his best to remain objective and said that he was able to analyze so calmly in the face of the death of his former comrades. Let the new superhumans who follow him feel a bit of chill.

"So now we have to figure out the situation first, and then decide whether we should be an enemy of Dr. Manhattan.
