Chapter 188: Deadly Temptation!

At this moment, all worlds fell silent!

No one had expected Doctor Manhattan's birth to have originated from a failed experiment!

In the next instant, an unforgettable blaze appeared in countless people's eyes. The flames of desire seemed capable of burning through the barriers separating the various worlds!

Marvel Universe 616!

Inside Mount Wundagore!

The mountain had long since been hollowed out. Metal walls and exposed pulsing energy conduits could be seen everywhere.

There were also countless reinforced glass-and-metal prisons containing all kinds of humanoid animals.

And within the deepest part of this metallic complex...

Inside the laboratory, the High Evolutionary revealed an unprecedented expression of excitement and madness!

As a super-scientist, he was confident that he could perfectly replicate the experiment before his eyes!

Although he could already control cosmic energy, perhaps it was time for him to evolve to an even higher level.

"Experiments! I need a vast number of experiments!"

"God Emperor Doom... your position will become mine!"

"Hahahaha!"

Dragon Ball World!

After being defeated by Goku and transforming himself into Android 20, Dr. Gero had now fallen into complete madness!

"The power of a god!"

"The power of a god!"

"Hahaha! I'm about to succeed! I'm about to succeed..."

"When that happens, I'll kill all of you! Kill every last one of you!"

Naruto World!

Orochimaru's entire body trembled as desire and fear continuously alternated within his eyes!

The twisted expression on his face made Obito, who was standing not far away, feel his scalp go numb!

Stark Tower.

Tony stared at the miraculous blue radiance, and the desire in his eyes completely cooled.

Could Doctor Manhattan's laboratory and death be replicated?

The answer was yes!

It was far simpler than constructing his miniature arc reactor. This godlike power seemed almost within reach!

But did he dare attempt it himself?

The answer was no!

Lux Nightclub.

Lucifer seemed to think of something, and an amused smile appeared on his face.

He could already imagine countless fools attempting to imitate Doctor Manhattan's birth!

But there was only one possible outcome for them—death, without even the remnants of their souls left behind!

Because this had never been an accident!

During that so-called accidental experiment, Doctor Manhattan...

Had already been there!!

DC Universe!

Within a universe engulfed in darkness!

A face that clearly belonged to Bruce Wayne stretched into a crimson, deranged grin.

"The power of Manhattan..."

"Hahaha! Soon. Very soon..."

Rick and Morty World.

Rick wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and revealed a hint of interest.

"Bombarded by particles, entering the quantum realm, and altering his own existence?"

"Hm. Not a bad research topic. It should be enough to kill some time."

Doctor Manhattan was born. To intimidate the world, those politicians loudly proclaimed that God existed—and that he was American!

Not long afterward, President Nixon requested that he participate in the Vietnam War!

One week later, the war ended!

That same year, he joined the Watchmen, fell in love with Silk Spectre II, and broke up with Janey!

Preacher World!

Jesse's face turned deathly pale.

He had suddenly realized a terrifying fact!

Doctor Manhattan had fallen in love with someone else, meaning that at this point, he still possessed desire and humanity!

However, as the overwhelming power of a higher-dimensional being gradually altered the way he perceived the world, his humanity was slowly disappearing!

Then what about the omnipotent Supreme God?

From what perspective did He view the world?

Did He...

Truly love humanity?

"I'm tired of being caught up in their lives."

The scene suddenly returned to the present. On Mars, Doctor Manhattan discarded the photograph in his hand and sat cross-legged in midair.

Behind him, a colossal tower made entirely of silicon rose from the ground, gleaming brilliantly beneath the sunlight!

Half an hour later!

The United States, which had already fallen into panic, finally discovered this miracle on Mars!

However, no one knew whether their god would ever return!

At the same time, another disastrous development occurred.

The Soviets had clearly learned of Doctor Manhattan's disappearance. Their tanks had already reached the Afghan border, recklessly testing America's limits!

Nuclear war seemed capable of erupting at any moment!

As a result, government agents approached Silk Spectre, accusing her of failing to perform her duty!

They demanded that she find a way to bring Doctor Manhattan back immediately!

The result was that the entire group was viciously beaten and left sprawled across the floor!

She had had enough of being their prisoner!!

Metropolis!

Diana revealed a mocking smile.

In a world without Doctor Manhattan, the threat of nuclear war had gradually faded away!

Yet after America obtained a god, the probability of war had risen to nearly one hundred percent!

And in the end, they expected a woman to clean up the mess!

How utterly ironic!

The humans of that world were even more disappointing.

In the next second, the scene shifted to the rooftop of Ozymandias's skyscraper, where a meeting was underway.

"Without Doctor Manhattan forcing the Soviets to maintain peace..."

"Forgive me, Mr. Veidt, but people will still need to rely on traditional, practical sources of energy. Surely you understand that."

The board members began opposing the continued development of clean energy, because abandoning it was clearly more profitable!

Ozymandias responded with a calm smile.

However, just when everyone thought he would agree, he looked down at them with arrogant eyes and said indifferently:

"This world will survive, and it deserves resources far beyond what you have proposed."

"So allow me to be perfectly clear. My personal assets exceed the combined wealth of every one of you. I could easily purchase your companies and resell them."

"Therefore, before you decide to make our disagreement public, I suggest you remember that."

The dozen or so board members exchanged glances. Their expressions were ugly, but none of them could say a word.

Inside the Batcave.

Alfred looked at Bruce and smiled.

"Master Bruce, you were once just as charming whenever you displayed the power of your fortune."

Bruce smiled.

He had felt nothing special when he had done it himself, but watching someone else repeat the performance was surprisingly entertaining.

At the same time, he rather admired Ozymandias's decision.

He had not acted for profit, but for the sake of human society.

There were not many people left who possessed such a broad view of the greater picture!

"I believe you all know where the exit is."

Adrian issued the order for them to leave without the slightest courtesy.

Seeing that the matter could no longer be reversed, the shameless capitalists immediately decided to pursue another approach.

Several of them began showering him with praise, hoping to secure the greatest possible share of the profits.

But at that moment, the elevator doors suddenly opened, revealing a deliveryman standing inside.

He glanced at Ozymandias, decisively dropped the package in his hands, and reached for the handgun at his waist!

The mastermind's assassination attempt had begun!
