[But for some reason, no matter how hard Manhattan tries, he can’t see through… Experiment with what happened before the accident. 】

[In the end, Dr. Manhattan, driven by curiosity, decided to use his consciousness to travel through time and space, go back in time, and witness the moment with his own eyes! ] 】

[“Ugh! “】

[Manhattan allowed his consciousness to condense and swim upstream in the timeline.] 】

[He came to the outside of the experimental base and saw himself who had not undergone “transformation”! ] 】

[However, this “Jonathan” can’t see Manhattan in front of him.] 】

[Because… Dr. Manhattan crossed through only one consciousness. 】

[Dr. Manhattan watched with his own eyes that his past self walked into the fateful experimental module, and he even had a smile on his face. 】

[But the next moment, something incredible happened.] 】

[This himself was in front of Dr. Manhattan, picked up the clothes he forgot in the experimental cabin, and slowly walked out. 】

[The accident did not happen. 】

[How is this possible?] 】

[Even Manhattan, who is almost omniscient and all-powerful, has an incredulous look on his face. 】

[In quantum mechanics, there is the so-called Schrödinger’s cat. 】

[Put a cat in a box, and before opening the box, the cat may be dead or alive.] 】

[If the scene in front of you is a Schrödinger’s box, then the box has been opened, but “he” is not in the box.] 】

[Why?] Why wasn’t this “Jonathan” converted into a bunch of atoms? 】

Dr. Manhattan couldn’t figure it out. 】

[“Yourself”… Why wasn’t it born? 】

[What is the problem?] 】

[Dr. Manhattan’s consciousness did not leave, but quietly observed this… “Himself”, who escaped a catastrophe, watched his life move on. 】

[One night, Jonathan, still a scholar, invited his colleagues to his home for dinner. 】

[During the chat between meals, they mentioned Schrödinger’s cat. 】

“The observer himself influences what is observed. “】

“It’s as if a particle is a particle only when it’s observed, and if no one observes it, it becomes a wave.” “】

“And these two possibilities will collapse into a reality the moment the box is opened.” “】

“Live cats, or dead cats. “】

[At the end of the discussion, Jonathan asked a question while drinking:]

[“Since the cat in the box is dead or alive, it is determined by the observation itself. “】

“So what if you don’t open the box and don’t observe?” “】

[“Huh…”]

[Gray-haired colleague said with a smile:]

“The longer an observer does not observe, the intertwined factors will affect the final result. “】

“The impact will continue to amplify, creating more quantum possibilities and parallel universes. “】

“It’s all true. “】

“But only when the box is opened does all the parallel universes collapse into a reality, perceived by the observer.” “】

[After “observing” all this on the side, Dr. Manhattan suddenly realized. 】

[The world he is in now is no longer his “original” world. 】

[He travels his consciousness back in time, trying to spy on the “past” itself… A new multiverse has been created. 】

[Moreover, the more he does similar attempts, the more multiverses he creates.] 】

[In these universes that did not give birth to “Manhattan”, all the human beings on Earth were destroyed by terrible wars. 】

Although Manhattan discovered the problem, he was still at a loss. 】

[I have inadvertently created multiple chaotic multiverses. 】

[How to make up for this situation?] 】

Sitting on the empty moon, Manhattan suddenly remembered what happened in his memory. 】

[At a young age, his family began to flee to avoid war. 】

[But in the process of fleeing, they were discovered by enemy patrols.] 】

[Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, in order to protect little Jonathan hidden in the box, his mother suddenly made a difficult decision. 】

[She jumped out of the car and rushed to the forest next to her!] 】

[“Bang! “】

[The patrol shot her, but Jonathan’s father also took the opportunity to take out a pistol and knocked out the two patrolmen in front of him.] 】

[Little Jonathan’s mother died, but her heroic actions bought him and his father to survive. 】

[After successfully escaping, Jonathan and his son went to Manhattan, where his father was… Got a job as a watchmaker. 】

[When he thought about this, Dr. Manhattan understood one more thing. 】

[In the snowy forest, my mother made a choice. 】

She gave up all her future choices, leaving the choice to herself and her father. 】

[In order to protect their father and son, Jonathan’s mother gave up everything. 】

“Maybe… That’s what I’m supposed to do. “】

Dr. Manhattan sighed silently. 】

[When he becomes a quantum observer, any choice he makes may split into a new reality and create a new multiverse.] 】

[But in all these multiverses, there will be no other Manhattan doctors.] 】

“He is unique. 】

In order to eliminate these doomsday worlds born of Dr. Manhattan’s choices, or “thoughts,” Dr. Manhattan must sacrifice his choices. 】

[Only in this way can other humans have a choice.] 】

[After realizing the reason, Dr. Manhattan began to go back to the timeline, erasing all “choices” that might have diverged.] 】

[Simply put, he eliminated it… Because of those parallel universes born of wrong “choices”! 】

[All this is to ensure the existence of the timeline of the “birth of Dr. Manhattan”! ] 】

[Eventually, when Dr. Manhattan eliminated all superfluous parallel universes, it all came to that day in 1958.] 】

Jonathan went to the lab to retrieve his coat, but the door closed and he was locked inside. 】

[Then, the super energy in the experimental cabin burst out! ] Disintegrates Jonathan into atoms. 】

[Dr. Manhattan’s consciousness attended “own” funeral. 】

[Seeing his coffin buried in the soil, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. 】

[At this moment, all of Jonathan’s choices were cleared. 】

[Next, his life is only left with the path of “incarnating as Dr. Manhattan”.] 】

[All other realities have finally collapsed into one. 】

[Seeing that everything was about to be completed, Dr. Manhattan suddenly noticed something strange again. 】

[Something is wrong! 】

[There is still something wrong!] 】

[This time, he can’t see where the mistake is!] 】

[Moreover, after all the previous events, Dr. Manhattan no longer dares to travel freely in the flow of time. ] 】

After pondering for a long time, he finally came to a conclusion. 】

[Since I can’t solve this problem, I have to ask the smartest person in human beings.] 】

[Pharaoh Adrian. 】

[Dr. Manhattan traveled back to the modern day and told the Pharaoh everything.] 】

[How did he become a quantum observer, and how he led to the birth of countless worlds that were “doomed to destruction” because of his unintentional choice! ] 】

“Those worlds that were not born in Manhattan are all peaceful. 】

[When I hear that Manhattan… When all these parallel universes were destroyed, even Adrian’s face changed slightly. 】

[If an ordinary human heard this, he would either collapse completely crazy now, or directly faint to the ground. ] 】

[Tarzan did not change color before the collapse, worthy of being a pharaoh. ] 】

[But no matter what, Adrian was still nervous, and Manhattan, who noticed this… It’s also a little proud. 】

[Manhattan told Pharaoh that someone interfered with his observation and that he now had no future in sight.] 】

[But even those fragmentary images make Manhattan sure that in the future… Or a terrible catastrophe! 】

[Manhattan is worried, although in theory, the world is the perfect “only timeline”, but what if he goes wrong?] 】

[What if the world… And because of his wrong choice, he was “peaceful” like the rest of the world? 】

Dr. Manhattan had given up his choice, so he wanted Pharaoh to tell him what to do.] 】

[And Pharaoh comforted him and told Manhattan… The two of them can work together to create new energy sources to ensure that there is no apocalypse in the future. 】

Dr. Manhattan agreed. 】

[Although he can observe everything in the world, it seems… Still can’t see through people’s hearts. 】

[In the end, everything went according to Pharaoh’s calculation, and Dr. Manhattan killed Rorschach and hid the secret.] 】

After the dust settled, Dr. Manhattan met with Pharaoh for the last time. 】

“Adrian, I decided to leave this galaxy and go to a less complicated place. “】

[Dr. Manhattan said slowly:]

[“Goodbye…”]

[At this time, the pharaoh suddenly stopped him:]

“I made the final choice, and everything was solved?” “】

[Looking at the Pharaoh’s eyes, he finally showed a look of gain and loss, and Dr. Manhattan said indifferently:]

“Eventually? Adrian, nothing ends up. “】

[“Everything never ends…”】

[Pharaoh still wanted to ask, but the figure of Manhattan had completely disappeared from his face. 】

[In the next instant, Dr. Manhattan left the galaxy and came to a strange planet. 】

[Here, he put his palms together, and a ray of light came out of his palms.] 】

“Every box is a mystery, containing infinite universes. “】

[In Manhattan’s eyes, a flash of expectation:]

[“Now, I can’t wait to see… What’s in this box. “】

[At this point, the screen gradually dimmed.] 】

[“Watchmen Prequel Manhattan” ends playing.] 】

The chat group is also lively again.

Stephen Strange: Everything never ends! That’s exactly what happened.

Loki Oddinson: Heck! This big blue eagle, he created a sacred timeline!

Loki Odinson: For this, he also destroyed countless multiverses. (▼皿▼;)
