Chapter 410

If you count top-tier creation-level big shots like The Monitors, The Anti-Monitor, and The World Forger as innate gods, and the most top-tier innate gods in the first echelon, then Doctor Manhattan is a top-tier acquired god who can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

The "innate" and "acquired" here refer to their origins, not their strength.

If Superman is a god among men, then Doctor Manhattan is a god among men!

The Presence is the supreme being of the DC universe, a proper omnipotent universe-level being. Doctor Manhattan is called the "God among men," which still refers to his origin, not his strength. Therefore, the title "God among men" is almost the ceiling, except for the big shots at the creation origin level!

New gods, old gods, and gods of various systems—none of them should be as good as him.

Doctor Manhattan exists in all timelines, all time points, and is a collection of infinite selves.

If the person peeping at him is really Doctor Manhattan, he should be observing from the timeline!

Doctor Manhattan is the true top-tier ability gift package. Aside from the well-known powerful abilities, his true core ability, or rather his strongest power, is called the "Connection Power."

The Connection Power is also known as the 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 was created by seven cosmic forces. The seven cosmic forces are the dominant energies of the multiverse, gathered at the two poles, one positive and one negative.

This positive and negative can also be called anti-crisis energy and crisis energy.

The positive pole is the seven cosmic forces 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 forces.

On the positive polarity is anti-crisis energy. Anti-crisis energy is the basic energy that every multiverse preserves for normal operation, ensuring the harmonious operation of all elements in the multiverse.

Although Doctor Manhattan's Connection Power is not among the seven cosmic forces, it belongs to a type of anti-crisis energy!

Crisis energy is the dark counterpart of anti-crisis energy, coming from the fear and anger of all living beings.

The Anti-Life Equation and Chaos Magic are not among the seven hidden energies, but they belong to crisis energy.

The seven cosmic forces and the seven hidden energies are:

Speed Force / Still Force

The Speed Force is one of the seven cosmic energies, an energy field that gives the multiverse its operation. The Speed Force is based on speed and movement, is the manifestation of reality in motion, and is the cosmic force that pushes space-time forward.

The Still Force is the opposite of the Speed Force. It is a cosmic force based on entropy and inertia, capable of canceling out movement and having the ability to induce and accelerate entropy.

Emotional Spectrum / Invisible Spectrum

The Emotional Spectrum is one of the seven cosmic forces, an energy field that gives the universe emotion.

The Invisible Spectrum is the opposite of the Emotional Spectrum, feeding on primitive emotions, especially hatred.

Life Force / Tear of Extinction

The Life Force is one of the seven cosmic forces, allowing life to flourish and connecting every life to their soul. Those who possess the Life Force can communicate with other lives through objects or the energy itself.

(Aquaman's abilities come from the Life Force)

The Tear of Extinction is the opposite of the Life Force, bringing death to people and existences, even immortal gods, and sending them to the Graveyard of Gods.

Godwave / Void Wind

The Godwave is one of the seven cosmic forces, the root of magical power in the universe, granting power to gods and those with god-like abilities. All powers of gods, demons, angels, etc., come from the Godwave.

The Void Wind corresponds to the Godwave and is a cosmic force that stifles all magic and divine power. It comes from the Graveyard of Gods.

Collective Unconscious / Black Apple

The Collective Unconscious is one of the seven cosmic forces, giving life knowledge and wisdom. The powers of telepaths all come from the Collective Unconscious.

The Black Apple is the opposite of the Collective Unconscious and is a power of forbidden knowledge.

Dimensional Superstructure / The Sixth Note

The Dimensional Superstructure is one of the seven cosmic forces, dominating everything imaginable and unimaginable. The Monitors, the Anti-Monitor, and the World Forger master the power of the Dimensional Superstructure.

The Sixth Note is the opposite of the Dimensional Superstructure and is a cosmic force beyond imagination, released when an impossibility occurs.

Loyalty / Betrayal

Loyalty is the seventh cosmic force, closely related to the essence of faith, coming from the kindness and courage in people's hearts.

Betrayal is the dark counterpart of 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 likes this setting of one positive and one negative, opposing each other, such as The Presence and The Great Evil Beast, The Monitors and The Anti-Monitor, the conventional multiverse and the Dark Multiverse, etc.

Anti-crisis energy and crisis energy are the same, and Doctor Manhattan's Connection Power is anti-crisis energy. From this, you can see how strong it is!

If the Connection Power is manifested, simply put, it can truly kill god-level figures.

Self-healing and regeneration are just child's play. True god-level figures can be called immortal, possessing a material existence field. If you don't blast the existence field, you can't truly hurt or kill these top god-level figures.

In layman's terms, it's somewhat similar to laws or concepts. Without these, conventional power and means are useless.

The Connection Power can break the existence field and truly annihilate these god-level figures.

For example, Lucifer, the King of Hell!

If you kill him in the human world, it can only be considered driving him back to Hell, and he is immortal in Hell. He can't be killed at all, and even if Hell is destroyed, he's fine!

But the Connection Power can!

As long as the Connection Power is strong enough, even in Hell, even in his territory or domain, he will still die!

The kind of death that is thorough and complete!

So Su Quan guessed that it might be Doctor Manhattan observing him. He wasn't panicked at all, but a little excited, because Doctor Manhattan's ability was too strong!

If he gets his ability, he will be omniscient and omnipotent in the truest sense, a top-tier big shot in the truest sense!

It's just—Doctor Manhattan can peep at him, but he can't observe him. This is a bit difficult!

Su Quan isn't worried about Doctor Manhattan really peeping at anything. After all, his observation isn't absolute, and he also has the ability to negate time. If he observes him from the timeline, he shouldn't gain anything.

But wanting to plot Doctor Manhattan's ability is a bit difficult. Su Quan suspects that he might have targeted him a long time ago, or knows of his existence. After all, he has been to the *Watchmen* universe and took away the second-generation Silk Spectre to participate in the Void Arena.

At that time, he only 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 for Doctor Manhattan. Past, present, future—what happens that he doesn't know?

So it is highly likely that he doesn't want to see him? Avoiding him on purpose? And the reason—he can't see his past, but he should be able to see the future, right? Maybe he saw that he would possess his ability in the future, so he avoided him?
