Chapter 301 Gods Are Busy
Don't look at Alien X speaking spiritedly, but in Doctor Manhattan's view, the former's words were inexplicable. Although Doctor Manhattan possessed all of Osterman's memories, after that experiment, the two could no longer be mentioned in the same breath.
Transcending Karma can be said to be the first Ability Doctor Manhattan obtained. After his Physical Body transformed into a Quantum body, he became unaffected by any Karma. Even if someone traveled through Space-time to kill Osterman before that experiment happened, it would not have any impact on Doctor Manhattan.
Honestly, based on the Ability Yang Le had previously displayed, Doctor Manhattan really couldn't imagine how the other party would take back his Superpower. He estimated that only God, who was elusive and rarely seen, could take back his Ability.
Indeed, if it were Yang Le, he would at most be evenly matched with Doctor Manhattan. However, the one standing in front of the latter now was not Yang Le, but Alien X, with three Thoughts working together.
Aiming his Palm at Doctor Manhattan, a transparent Ripple was emitted from Alien X's Palm. The vast and boundless Outer Space was like a lake into which a Stone had been thrown.
Then, a sudden change occurred. Outer Space began to distort, and Alien X's Palm was like a Black Hole, absorbing everything around it. Nearby Planets were pulled closer.
Even Doctor Manhattan could not resist. When he wanted to manipulate Space to escape, he discovered that even Space and Time were being sucked into Alien X's Palm.
"You cannot escape," three voices sounded in unison. At this moment, Alien X's words had no inflection or emotional fluctuation.
"Whether it's Space, Time, Reality, or Virtual, nothing in this world can escape. Osterman, you have no chance of escape."
As if to confirm Alien X's words, countless Doctor Manhattans were pulled out from his Body, all approaching Alien X.
This was because of Doctor Manhattan's characteristic: he existed in all Timelines and Time points, whether past, present, or future. What Alien X was doing was pulling all of him to this place.
"Snap!"
With a crisp Sound, Alien X's Hand finally grabbed Doctor Manhattan's Head, just covering the Symbol on the latter's Forehead. In fact, Doctor Manhattan finally realized how ridiculous his previous estimate of the opponent's Strength had been.
Grabbing the opponent's Arm with both Hands, this was the first time since he became Doctor Manhattan that he had gone all out. In this instant, he used all the Abilities he possessed, but still could not shake the opponent in the slightest.
Quantum Analysis, Body Replication, Space-Time Manipulation, Particle Manipulation, Reality Modification, Decomposition and Reassembly—none of them worked. Alien X had turned him into a dud with just one Hand.
Even his last Means, the Anti-Crisis Force that he had placed high Hope on, representing Hope, the Force of Connection capable of creating Laws, gave him no Response at this moment.
Doctor Manhattan was actually very clear about what this represented. It meant there was no Hope, and he had no chance of escaping.
"Osterman," Alien X's unique multiple voices sounded, his Eyes emitting White Light without sorrow or joy, staring directly at the opponent.
"Because of your various misdeeds, I, on behalf of everything you have toyed with, retract your Superpower."
Saying this, Alien X released his Right Hand that was grabbing Doctor Manhattan. The latter knelt weakly on the Ground. In Alien X's Right Hand Palm, which he had not yet retracted, a marble-sized Blue Orb was floating, with a three-dimensional Doctor Manhattan Symbol imprinted in the center of the Light Orb.
Looking at Doctor Manhattan again, his original blue Quantum Body was gradually dissipating, slowly turning into the Flesh of an Ordinary Person. Osterman could clearly feel that only a small portion of Energy remained in his Body, and it was still rapidly losing.
"No! No! No!" Osterman shouted in panic. "You can't do this! I still need to maintain the Peace of the Universe and the stability of the Timeline. Give it back to me!"
After Osterman finished speaking, he pounced towards Alien X. At this Time, he had lost his Reason and did not consider the Distance between them at all. To say they were from different Dimensions was already being generous to Osterman.
Before Osterman could pounce in front of Alien X, he was Teleported away. Facing a disheveled Man pouncing towards him, the three Thoughts made the fastest decision in history.
Alien X Teleported Osterman to DC Universe Earth, where Yang Le had lived for several months. Alien X intended to let the other party experience the Feeling of surviving in an unfamiliar Environment without an Identity.
At the same Time, he didn't give the other party Clothes. Of course, this was a little bit of Yang Le's Selfishness, just as Revenge for the other party's sneak attack. As for why he didn't Murder Osterman, it was naturally because of an old saying.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Osterman had become accustomed to Doctor Manhattan's omnipotent Strength. At this Time, making Osterman an Ordinary Person was no different from killing him, or even more painful. Strike a snake at its seven inches; to Murder a Man, strike at his Heart.
Having done all of this, Alien X slowly turned around. He still had Guests to receive.
At some point, a Person appeared not far from Alien X. It was an old Man with a thick mustache, wearing a well-tailored black suit, a straight tie, and a black bowler hat on his Head, covering his neat Hair. He also held a cane in his Hand, looking like an old-fashioned London gentleman.
"The Presence? When did you arrive?" Yang Le asked, Opening his mouth.
"Yes, I love you too," the old Man was taken aback for a moment, then responded to Yang Le's Words with a smile.
God, who was omniscient and omnipotent like Alien X, naturally knew the Knowledge of Other Universe. Abstract Memes like these were just a drop in the bucket.
"I thought you were like those relatively rigid Guys from the Celestial Race," God said helplessly. "I didn't expect you to be a kid who likes abstract things."
"Why so serious?" Yang Le tilted his Head, imitating another well-known Character.
"You dare to use the lines of a Character I created to deal with me? How dare you!" Although God glared, there was an uncontrollable smile in his Eyes.
"Stop, stop, stop." Seeing that Yang Le was still going to play with Memes, God immediately stopped him. "Alright, I came to you not to talk about abstract things."
"Then what is it for?" Yang Le asked in Puzzlement, because he could feel that the other party had no malice. Seeing the other party catching his Memes, he thought the other party was here to play with him.
"I am God," God proudly twirled the cane in his Hand, his Face full of pride. "I have many important Businesses to do, of course, unlike that exhibitionist."
"So, what is it?"
"Uh? Watching various derivative dramas of the DC Universe."
