Chapter 949 Life is an illusion, Mother

Creators like Perpetua, or the three sixth-dimensional gods, and their offspring, could never truly empathize with someone like the first Lantern.

For Perpetua, the first Genie wanted his home to return, but he couldn't abandon the false home created by the World Builders. This was understandable for Perpetua, but if someone were to weigh his home and the false home on a scale, Perpetua would have no way of knowing what choice he would make.

Yes, Genie 1 might refuse Batman Dragon's request because of the perfect world promised by Perpetual, but what if he didn't?

She couldn't empathize with the first Lantern, nor could she understand what his final choice would be. So, Papetua could only make the choice that was most beneficial and safest for him.

He briefly escaped his entanglement with Batman Dragon, then opened his palm to the first Lantern.

He wasn't worried that his mind control over the first Lantern would give Dr. Manhattan these abnormal thoughts.

During the identity crisis, Zatanna, a user of irony magic, controlled Doctor Light and erased Batman's memories. During the Rogues War, the Peak Man was also mind-controlled and reformed.

Identity crisis, the death of a family member, and Emerald Twilight—these three events are almost the major triggers for the Infinite Crisis.

Manipulating others to achieve one's own goals has happened far too many times in the DC multiverse. Since Dr. Manhattan has seen the entire history of the DC multiverse, he must be used to it.

As long as things don't escalate to the point where Papetua uses brute force to subdue everything, Dr. Manhattan will view it as a normal evolution of the DC multiverse on a grander scale.

Think about it: if during the Zero Hour Crisis, when Parallax Hal proposed creating a perfect world to all the superheroes, it wasn't just a few superheroes like Batgirl who supported him, but everyone agreed with Hal's decision and praised him, would Hal still be considered a villain today?

The idea of ​​Perpetua ruling the DC multiverse may sound absurd, but what if it were based on the premise that the Origin Hands were about to arrive in the DC multiverse and destroy it?

If Papetua is the last hope of the DC multiverse, the only pillar of strength, and the only high-level combatant capable of fighting against the Origin Hands, then the story has changed again.

Papetua wasn't really clear on what Dr. Manhattan was going to do, but at least he was a competent observer. If the other party could maintain the status quo, he should never provoke him.

However, although Papetua did not know...

But Chen Tao knew what Dr. Manhattan wanted to do, or rather, he had such an idea, but at the same time, out of curiosity and many other factors.

But in conclusion—

He conducted so many experiments and observed for so long, one of his purposes being nothing more than wanting to change his own universe.

He wanted to create a cosmic core in his own Watchers universe as well. Oh, this wasn't like the World Maker's. The Infant Multiverse created by the World Maker was at best a clone of the DC Multiverse, like an ignorant child copying homework. It not only copied the advantages but also the disadvantages, or rather, the characteristics that Perpetua created to generate crisis energy.

Dr. Manhattan wanted to create an eternal protagonist in his own universe, and he did just that after the Doomsday Bell event.

Unfortunately, he had no idea under what conditions Dr. Manhattan would trigger the event "Good, I've learned it now, I'm going back to the Watchmen universe".

Dr. Manhattan is like an insatiable succubus, constantly grabbing at the DC multiverse to absorb knowledge, but there's no progress bar to see how much knowledge he's absorbed.

While Chen Tao and Papetua were each harboring their own thoughts, Evolutionary Lantern also saw his mother from the Replica Universe once again.

"So everything is just nothingness, and all my memories are just illusions created by humans?"

The first Lantern turned his head away, unable to look into his mother's empty eyes.

He remembered the day of creation heroes he had once witnessed in another world, where everything was meaningless and empty.

"You mean a person named Papetua created a universe called the DC Multiverse, and you come from that universe, while a person called the World Forger created another universe, the one I exist in. My life is all fake; I live a life created by someone else?"

The mother of the first Genie, or rather, a clone of her mother, suddenly turned to look at the first Genie: "And what about you?"

"I am also a creation of Papetua, Mother. This is the essence of science. Everything is created by a near-omnipotent God. When we observe bacteria with a microscope, observing inferior beings from the perspective of a superior, we do not feel cruel. But when we become inferior beings, I know that we are far more vulnerable than we imagine."

"I'm sorry, Mother, I'm so sorry. Life and effort are all fake, useless, meaningless. We are not free, we never have free will. Those in power can interfere with our beloved family and friends, and even scientific research at will, arbitrarily erase and modify the entire world, and arbitrarily create timelines."

And we don't even know what happened, and anything we create that doesn't align with their interests can be easily erased. Sometimes I act as the eraser for others, and sometimes I am what gets erased. Physics has never existed, and the spectrum of emotions was merely a creation of Papetua.

The first Lantern said, "So... so I had no choice but to help Papetu, to help him achieve her goal, and then grovel and beg her to give me back the real me, and then continue living a meaningless life. That's the bare minimum. I'm sorry for being so cruel, Mother."

"Even if Batman Dragon kills you now, it won't threaten me, because as long as Tua controls the entire DC multiverse, she can seize your existence from the timeline at any time, and you'll both be fine. Death and failure are meaningless."

As the first Lantern was speaking, before he could finish, his mother pounced on him.

His clone mother's hands became like sharp roots, piercing into his body and attempting to control his consciousness.

Papetua took action, cruelly using his mother's body.
