In an instant, countless people stared in stunned silence.

How could a clock tower capable of flying, landing, and embedding itself into the surface of Mars be so fragile that an ordinary human could smash it apart?

This was even more absurd than Superman instantly killing Doomsday!

But in the next second, something even more shocking occurred!

For the first time, Doctor Manhattan's expression, which had remained calm from beginning to end, changed!

He looked at the crying Silk Spectre with astonishment, as though he were gazing upon a priceless treasure.

"A miracle!"

"An event with odds as small as an astronomical anomaly, like oxygen suddenly turning into gold."

"I have always wanted to witness such a moment, yet I overlooked the fact that whenever humans come together, millions of cells compete to create a single life!"

"Your mother fell in love with a man—Edward Blake, the Comedian—a man she should have hated with every fiber of her being."

"And from that contradiction, after overcoming countless impossibilities, you were born."

"Only you appeared..."

"From all that chaos, one specific form was selected."

"A miracle!"

In the next second, under Silk Spectre's disbelieving gaze, Doctor Manhattan nodded.

"I was wrong..."

"Now dry your tears. Let's go home."

At that moment, countless viewers across All Worlds were filled with confusion.

How did this count as a miracle?

Was it not merely the birth of life, one of the most ordinary things in the world?

Why would Doctor Manhattan be so astonished by it?

Had the clock tower collapsed because of this realization?

They could not understand it!

Nor could they agree!

However, in the Marvel Universe, Tony Stark's eyes were filled with emotion.

He did not believe Doctor Manhattan had regained his humanity.

Rather, through his supremely rational way of thinking, he had finally discovered the true nature of life!

He was not praising the complexity and precision of the human body as a miracle.

He was marveling at the miracle of fate itself!

Among countless encounters and possibilities, another one-in-a-million probability had been born!

If even the smallest detail in that process had changed, the person standing before Doctor Manhattan would no longer have been Silk Spectre!

And the same was true for every human being!

That world itself was an aggregation of countless miracles!

Inside the Batcave!

Bruce did not feel moved in the slightest.

Instead, a sudden chill ran through him!

Had Doctor Manhattan truly regained his humanity?

Had he not already seen this "future" in the past?

Then why had he not changed before now?

Did the course of events have to reach this precise moment before he could regain his humanity?

And was this so-called humanity truly humanity at all?

Bruce had walked this path for far too long. He had always believed in the darkness within human nature!

Yet he could sense no evil from Doctor Manhattan.

That made him even more terrifying!

Watchmen World.

The people who had been cursing Silk Spectre moments earlier changed their attitudes instantly and began cheering for her, completely forgetting their previous behavior!

Doctor Manhattan on Mars could presumably see this scene as well.

Yet he still made the same decision.

Humanity was saved!

Somewhere among the countless universes of Marvel.

Inside a palace, a man dressed in a dark green fur-lined coat and wearing an exquisite horned helmet revealed a sinister smile.

He had suddenly discovered a secret!

Doctor Manhattan of the DC Universe appeared omnipotent, but because he was excessively rational, he possessed a weakness!

He could not understand the true nature of humanity!

More importantly...

He could not understand the human heart.

At that moment, the man seemed to glimpse Doctor Manhattan's death.

Antarctica!

Nite Owl and Rorschach arrived at the pyramid aboard the Owlship.

There, they found Ozymandias standing before an enormous wall composed of thousands of monitors, observing the entire world!

The two attempted to launch a surprise attack, but just as Rorschach had written in his journal, Adrian's physical abilities represented the absolute peak of ordinary humanity!

Ten seconds!

In less than ten seconds, Ozymandias knocked both of them down!

Nite Owl raised his head from the floor. Since force had failed, he decided to use words instead!

Activating his talk ability, he pleaded sincerely:

"Adrian, we know everything. It isn't too late to stop."

Outside the screen, Deadpool stuffed his big toes back into his shoes and shook his head in disappointment.

Nite Owl's talk ability was far inferior to the Flash from the Prime Universe!

Hearing those words, Ozymandias sneered.

"If that is true, then what is left to discuss, Dan?"

"There's plenty. You killed the Comedian!"

Rorschach was the one who spoke, his voice filled with fury!

Ozymandias replied calmly:

"Blake was the first to discover the truth. Nixon had ordered him to monitor us and ensure that we did not interfere with his plans."

"But after he uncovered the secret of this place, he went to see Moloch in a mentally unstable state. Even I failed to anticipate that change."

"So I had no choice but to kill him."

He calmly explained the reason for the Comedian's death without showing the slightest trace of guilt.

Rorschach's fury intensified, and he immediately attacked once again.

Not far away, Nite Owl struggled back to his feet and joined the battle!

But it was completely futile. Ozymandias easily knocked them down once more with only a few movements, then looked down at them.

"After that, I dealt with Jon. That part was far more difficult."

"I invested two billion dollars in tachyon research to block his ability to observe the future."

"Then I used his psychological profile to force him to leave Earth."

"As for the assassin who attacked me..."

"Mr. Chess gave his life for a greater cause. I was the one who placed the cyanide capsule in his mouth."

"At that point, only one final matter remained."

He looked at Rorschach and smiled calmly.

"You were far too easy to predict, Rorschach."

"I knew you would inevitably investigate the assassin. All I needed to do was leak a small amount of information to the police, and they would send you to prison."

"After that, nothing stood in the way of my plan."

Inside the Owlship.

After hearing this, Nite Owl did not know whether he should feel relieved or offended!

He was also a member of the Watchmen!

Did being a middle-aged man make him so completely unthreatening!?

However, after watching himself being mercilessly beaten on the screen, he could not think of any way to argue.

Nite Owl attacked once again!

Nite Owl fell once again!

Nite Owl activated his talk ability yet again and pleaded desperately:

"Adrian, don't continue with this!"

"Have you forgotten our duty as Watchmen?"

"We were supposed to make this world a better place!"

He patiently tried to guide his former companion back onto the right path. It was definitely not because he could not win the fight!

He simply could not bear to watch an old comrade stray any further!

But in the next second, Ozymandias calmly replied:

"That is exactly what I am doing, Dan."

As those words fell, countless viewers were once again plunged into confusion!
