Samuel leaned back in his chair, his legs resting on the desk, his eyes slightly narrowed as he recalled major events related to Superman.
Various Multiverse reboots have resulted in many versions of Superman, and there are also many major events about Superman.
However, considering various factors, Superman's major events are somewhat less popular, well-known, and influential than those of Batman and Flash.
Batman's Metal and Flash and Flashpoint are very high in influence and popularity.
In contrast, Superman's major event, from Samuel's perspective alone, is The Death of Superman.
But this major event doesn't seem to fit the current situation, so --
Wait!
Samuel suddenly sat up straight.
He suddenly thought of a major event related to Superman that fit the current situation very well!
Doomsday Clock!
Why did Samuel think of this major event?
Because in this major event, Superman is the core of the Multiverse, and his changes will greatly affect the Universe, and even the Multiverse!
This is one aspect!
There is also a more important reason: the 'villain' of this major event is Dr. Manhattan.
That's right, it's Dr. Manhattan from the Watchmen Universe.
With Dr. Manhattan's ability, if he were prying on him, his methods would likely be just as he had previously guessed!
It is a higher level method!
Quantum Observer Dr. Manhattan, definitely a Multiverse-level big shot.
This Multiverse level doesn't refer to one Multiverse, but multiple, even all Multiverses!
If the watcher, anti-monitor, and World Forgers, these top-tier figures at the creation level, are considered innate Gods, and the most top-tier innate Gods in the first echelon, then Dr. Manhattan is a top-tier acquired God who can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
The innate and acquired here refer to origin, not strength.
If Superman is the God of man, then Dr. Manhattan is the God of man!
God is the supreme being of the DC Universe, a proper omniversal level. Dr. Manhattan being called the God of man still refers to his origin, not his strength. Therefore, the title God of man is almost the ceiling except for the creation-origin level figures!
New Gods, Old Gods, and Gods of various systems, even if you include them all, should be inferior to him.
Dr. Manhattan exists in all timelines, at all points in time, and is a collection of his infinite self.
If the person peeking at him is truly Dr. Manhattan, he should be observing from the timeline!
Dr. Manhattan is the real top-tier gift package. Putting aside the powerful abilities he is known for, his true core ability, or rather his strongest power, is called the Power of Connection.
The Power of Connection is also known as Anti-Crisis Power, possessing powerful Anti-Crisis energy!
Speaking of Anti-Crisis energy, we have to talk about the composition of the Multiverse. The Multiverse is created by seven Cosmic Energies. The seven Cosmic Energies are the dominant energies of the Multiverse, gathered at two poles, one positive and one negative.
This positive and negative can also be called Anti-Crisis energy and Crisis energy.
Among them, the positive pole is the seven Cosmic Energies that build the Universe, while the negative pole is called the seven hidden energies.
The seven hidden energies are energies corresponding to the seven Cosmic Energies.
On the active and positive polarity is Anti-Crisis energy. Anti-Crisis energy is the basic energy that maintains the normal operation of every Multiverse, ensuring the harmonious operation of all elements in the Multiverse.
Although Dr. Manhattan's Power of Connection is not among the seven Cosmic Energies, it belongs to a type of Anti-Crisis energy!
Crisis energy is the dark counterpart to Anti-Crisis energy, coming from the fear and anger of all sentient beings.
The anti-life equation and Chaos Magic are not among the seven hidden energies, but they belong to Crisis energy.
The seven Cosmic Energies and the seven hidden energies are respectively:
Speed Force / Still Force
Speed Force is one of the seven Cosmic Energies, the energy field that gives the Multiverse its operation. Speed Force is based on speed and motion, it is the manifestation of reality in motion, and it is the Cosmic Energy that pushes time and space forward.
Still Force is the opposite of Speed Force, it is a Cosmic Energy based on entropy and inertia, capable of counteracting motion and having the ability to induce and accelerate entropy.
Emotional Spectrum / Invisible Spectrum
The Emotional Spectrum is one of the seven Cosmic Energies, it is the energy field that gives the Universe emotion.
The Invisible Spectrum is the opposite of the Emotional Spectrum, feeding on primal emotions, especially hatred.
Life Force / Tears of Extinction
Life Force is one of the seven Cosmic Energies, allowing life to flourish and connecting every life to their soul. Those with Life Force are able to maintain communication with other life through objects or energy itself.
(Aquaman's abilities come from the Life Force)
The Tears of Extinction are the opposite of the Life Force, bringing Death to people and existences, even immortal Gods, and sending them to the Graveyard of the Gods.
Divine Realm / Void Wind
The Divine Realm is one of the seven Cosmic Energies, the root of magic power in the Universe, granting power to Gods and those with divine abilities. The abilities of all Gods, Evil Demons, Angels, etc., all come from the Divine Realm.
The Void Wind corresponds to the Divine Realm, it is a Cosmic Energy that suppresses all magic and divine power. It comes from the Graveyard of the Gods.
Collective Unconscious / Black Apple
The Collective Unconscious is one of the seven Cosmic Energies, granting knowledge and wisdom to life. The power of Mind Control users all comes from the Collective Unconscious.
The Black Apple is the opposite of the Collective Unconscious, it is a power of forbidden knowledge.
Dimensional Hyperstructure / Sixth Annotation
The Hyperdimensional Structure is one of the seven Cosmic Energies, governing everything imaginable and unimaginable. The watcher, anti-monitor, and World Forgers control the power of the Dimensional Hyperstructure.
The Sixth Annotation is the opposite of the Dimensional Hyperstructure, it is a Cosmic Energy beyond imagination, released when an impossible glimpse occurs.
Loyalty / Disloyalty
Loyalty is the seventh Cosmic Energy, closely related to the essence of faith, coming from the kindness and courage in people's hearts.
Disloyalty is the dark counterpart to Loyalty, also coming from the heart, relying on the evil, selfish, and cruel nature in people's hearts. It is unlocked when people lose faith.
The DC Universe is very fond of this kind of setting where there is a positive and a negative, opposite to each other, such as God and the Great Evil Beast, the watcher and the anti-monitor, the regular Multiverse and the Dark Multiverse, and so on.
The same goes for Anti-Crisis energy and Crisis energy, and Dr. Manhattan's Power of Connection is Anti-Crisis energy, which shows how strong it is!
To explain the Power of Connection in a concrete way, simply put, it can truly kill God-level characters.
Self-healing and regeneration are just child's play. True God-level characters are virtually immortal and possess a material existence field. If the existence field is not shattered, it is impossible to truly harm or kill these top-tier God-level characters.
In layman's terms, it's somewhat similar to laws or concepts. Without these, conventional power and means are useless.
The Power of Connection can break the existence field and truly annihilate these God-level characters.
For example, Lucifer, the King of Hell!
If you kill him in the human World, it only counts as sending him back to Hell, and he is immortal in Hell, simply unkillable, and even if Hell is destroyed, he will be fine!
But the Power of Connection can!
As long as the Power of Connection is strong enough, even in Hell, even in his territory or domain, he will still die!
That kind of complete Death!
So Samuel guessed that it might be Dr. Manhattan observing him. He wasn't flustered at all, but rather a little excited, because Dr. Manhattan's ability was too strong!
If he obtained his ability, he would truly be omniscient and omnipotent, a truly top-tier figure!
It's just—Dr. Manhattan can peek at him, but he can't observe him, which makes things a bit difficult!
Samuel wasn't worried that Dr. Manhattan would truly peek at anything, after all, his observation is not absolute, and he also has the ability to negate time. He should not gain anything from observing him from the timeline.
But it is somewhat difficult to scheme for Dr. Manhattan's ability. Samuel suspects that he might have been watching him for a long time, or rather, knows of his existence, after all, he has been to the Watchmen Universe and even took Second Generation Silk to the Void to participate in the Brawl Arena.
At that time, he just felt that the time he went was a bit early and he didn't meet him. Now that he thinks about it, time has no meaning to Dr. Manhattan. Past, present, future, what happens that he doesn't know?
So it is very likely that he doesn't want to see him? Deliberately avoiding him? And the reason is that he can't see his past, but he should be able to see the future, right? Maybe he saw in the future that he possessed his ability, so he avoided him?
