Chapter 181: A Terrifying Tip of the Iceberg

[Daniel froze, not understanding why the other party had come to him. After all, ever since the organization disbanded, they had hardly kept in contact.]

[Rorschach put down the can in his hand and casually tossed out the thing he had been holding in his palm.]

[It was a smiley-face badge stained with red liquid.]

[Daniel took it in his hand and looked at it, then casually said:]

["Is this bean juice?"]

["Human bean juice."]

[Rorschach replied coldly, then continued:]

["This is the Comedian's badge. The blood too. He's dead."]

[He believed that since the Comedian had worked for the government, he definitely had no shortage of enemies, foreign agents, and even people inside the government who wanted him dead. It would not be strange for him to be killed one day.]

[Daniel fell silent for a moment, then the two came to the basement.]

[Rorschach shook his head. His instincts told him that someone was hunting the Watchmen. The Comedian was definitely not the last.]

[Daniel felt that Rorschach was somewhat obsessed.]

[Within the organization, the other party had been the only one who had never taken off the mask on his face. Rather than continuing to hide everywhere, it would be better for him to live a normal life.]

[The two parted on bad terms.]

Marvel World.

As a hero who had publicly revealed his identity from the very beginning, Tony saw something different.

He felt that the one living beneath a mask was not Rorschach, but Daniel.

This seemingly weak man was hiding behind his glasses, hiding behind the mask of the masses, concealing the fact that he was still Nite Owl.

Otherwise... why had he not destroyed the armor and so many weapons in the basement?

That enormous owl airship looked ready to take off again at any moment!

All of this was nothing but unwillingness.

[The image darkened, and Rorschach's somewhat hoarse, weathered voice rang out once more.]

["Rorschach's Journal. Tonight's first visit was fruitless. Feeling depressed."]

["War will soon begin. Millions will die in disease and misery. Why does one death matter against so many?"]

These words, which seemed to be asking himself and also questioning everyone, caused countless viewers to fall silent.

At this moment, whether it was Dr. Banner and Thor in the Marvel World...

Or Blue Beetle, Atom, and Firestorm in the DC World...

Or Starlight and Queen Maeve in The Boys World...

Heroes from countless worlds all fell into hesitation because of these words.

Because they discovered that they truly could not answer immediately.

It should clearly have been very simple, yet it also seemed extremely complicated.

But in the next second, they heard a firm voice.

["Because there is good and there is evil."]

["And evil must be punished. Even in the face of Armageddon, I shall not compromise."]

Although this voice was calm, it seemed like a ray of light dispersing the fog.

Gotham!

A certain Batman revealed a faint smile.

There was good and evil... this was the answer, and also the ultimate essence!

[When the image lit up again, it was already daylight.]

[Rorschach had taken off his mask. Holding a sign that read "The End Is Nigh," he stood on the street dressed like a homeless man.]

Inside the airship, Nite Owl suddenly froze, and a trace of realization appeared in his heart.

Perhaps Rorschach was the homeless man.

That was his true "mask."

[The scene changed. The dirty, damp street corner had already disappeared.]

[In its place was a bright, warm, luxurious reception room.]

[As the most successful retired hero, Adrian Veidt Veidt, whose intellect was nearly demonic, had built a vast business empire and was currently being interviewed by the media.]

[He stated that for the sake of humanity's fate, he had already invested a massive sum of money to build a clean-energy laboratory in Antarctica.]

[Once low-cost, clean energy was developed, the dark clouds of nuclear war would inevitably disperse.]

[Because the essence of the Cold War was the struggle over energy.]

Tony looked down at Stark Tower beneath his feet, which was powered by clean energy, then shook his head.

Industrialist thinking.

Perhaps in the past, he would also have thought this way.

But now, he already understood.

The essence of war was plunder, persecution, and power!

But even more than that, it was desire. It was human nature.

However, he still thought highly of this Ozymandias.

At the very least, he was doing something good. It was beneficial to humanity.

Sanctuary II.

Thanos sneered.

For intelligent life, energy would never be enough.

The use of all resources would only make the universe move toward extinction faster.

In his view, this was not someone who truly possessed wisdom. In the end, he was still too shallow.

[After the press conference ended, Daniel had already been waiting below the stage for a long time.]

[After six years without meeting, he first exchanged a few polite greetings with Ozymandias, then spoke of Rorschach's concerns.]

The Boys World.

The corner of Billy's mouth curled into a smile.

This man's heart still had a Nite Owl living inside it after all. Otherwise, he would not have come.

In the next second, he glanced at Hughie without leaving a trace.

These two people were actually somewhat similar. It was just that the latter still did not understand his own heart.

[Adrian Veidt did not care.]

[In his words, he likewise did not think this was true. At the same time, he spoke of the problem he was more worried about.]

[It was a number.]

[The Soviets possessed 51,000 nuclear warheads.]

[Daniel revealed a shocked expression and instinctively asked:]

["If the Russians launch their nukes, can Jon really stop them?"]

[Adrian stated a cruel fact:]

["Even if Doctor Manhattan intervenes and intercepts and destroys ninety-nine percent of the nuclear missiles, the rest will still be enough to kill all of humanity."]

DCEU World!

Bruce keenly noticed the terrifying information contained in those words!

Intercept!

"Ninety-nine percent"!

That blue-skinned man could actually destroy 50,490 nuclear missiles flying in different directions within just a few minutes!!!

This was an incomparably frightening and terrifying figure!

He was certain that the current Superman, Clark, absolutely could not do that!

That blue human...

Could he really still be called a living being!?
