What the entire first volume plot devices mean:
Davian's truth.
(??? P.O.V)
Doctor Manhattan's perception stretches across the vast expanse of the DC multiverse, his vision piercing the boundaries of known existence.
As his gaze falls upon the newly discovered cluster of universes, an unsettling realization begins to take hold.
These universes, unlike any he has encountered before, lie beyond his ability to foresee.
They are a dark enigma in the tapestry of creation. Driven by curiosity and an innate desire to understand, he delves deeper, seeking to discern the distinguishing factor that sets this cluster apart.
What he witnesses sent shivers through his quantum consciousness.
*********
In one of these universes lying at the center of the cluster, a ball of endless mortal potential, an iteration of Desire, one of the Endless, had committed an act unthinkable even to divine beings.
Desire had fallen in love with God himself, a deity revered and worshipped by its inhabitants with a fervor unmatched.
Their worship was extreme.
Their love was infinite.
Their devotion was boundless, their adoration absolute.
They carried forth God's Will. They lived for him and obeyed his teachings and commandments. They died for him in missions to bring others into the fold.
They taught their children one way and one way alone. It was God or nothing. And they obeyed.
They obeyed for centuries. The devotion grew...for centuries.
The teachings evolved over the centuries. It was now, God.
Ah era of pureness. And era of prosperity. An era of all things righteous. All things good.
All things exist as they should and nothing can change that because all is Good and God is good. And its all him.
Kill for him.
Die for him.
Speak to him.

Speak FOR him.
Love him.
Imagine Him.
Simulate him.
Be With Him.
The Desire in their hearts had grown into an insatiable hunger, consuming them entirely.
The collective entity of Desire of the Endless had been corrupted, its love for God taking a grotesque form, seeking to meld into the Almighty.
In its pursuit, Desire devised a sinister plot.
Desire manipulated its sister, Death, compelling her to fall in love with an entity she should never have loved.
The details remained shrouded in mystery, but the outcome was clear.
Death, an eternal being responsible for ushering souls into the afterlife, had become smitten, feeling emotions she had never known in her countless existences. She felt alive in a way she had never imagined.
From this forbidden union, Death conceived, a cosmic event with profound consequences. Across the cluster of universes, iterations of Mistress Death found themselves with child.
However, tragedy befell most of them as they miscarried, their divine pregnancies ending in sorrow.
Yet, two universes stood out among the cluster. In these realms, the children were born and became the epicenter of a cosmic convergence.
The first child was named Davian Mabuz, possessing boundless potential but trapped in an inert universe.
The second child, named Davian Mabuzz, held boundless power but lacked control, resulting in a fractured existence.
The first child's life was marked by adversity, abandoned by foster parents mired in addiction.
The second child fared no better, confined to an orphanage overseen by the enigmatic Hugo Strange, who subjected him to cruel experiments.
Eventually, his uncontrollable power led to a catastrophic fire that burnt the orphanage down, destroying his records and closing the orphanage for repairs before Bruce Wayne took over its renovation.
Two destinies intertwined by fate, burdened by the essence of who they were.
Death, a silent observer, could do nothing to alleviate their suffering, bound by her purpose to interfere only when a life ended, never meant to intervene in the lives of her children.
The time of reckoning arrived as the two Davians met their destined ends. One, Davian Mabuz, perished as he lived—selfishly, with a gun in his hand.
The other, Davian Mabuzz, embraced selflessness in his final act, sacrificing himself to grant his counterpart a chance at life.
The Act was incredible. Indelible.
The two universes collided, producing an intense shockwave that stretched out across the entire cluster.
It was unprecedented. Unexpected. The shockwaves were felt for thousands of quadrillion space ticks, resulting in the two universes collapsing into each other as a counter-balance from the Omniverse bounced back to the center of the explosion.
The New 52 became the new 51.
And the fusion of the two universes became the center of the cluster.
Everything became connected to Davian Mabuz.
*******
An entire section of the Multiverse, it's existence tied to one. Single. Man.
Fascinating.
In that moment, Doctor Manhattan comprehended Destiny's intricate plan—to forge a perfect being, a being embodying dualities that complemented each other, much like the cosmic balance between dark and light, right and wrong, the Presence and the Great Darkness.
By employing this being, Destiny aimed to diminish the station of God, ultimately seeking to devour the Almighty and ascend to godhood.
It was a perfect plan, an ancient scheme, and Doctor Manhattan, with his omniscient gaze, could foresee the unfolding of events.
And what he saw left him with a foreboding sense that this path held nothing but turmoil and cataclysmic consequences for not only the Manipulative entity, Desire but the Multiverse as well.
For unknowingly, Desire had created the Destroyer of reality.
A being that would cleanse away it's selfish Uncle's/Aunt's sins. A being that was meant to be Villain but became something much worse, Death Itself.
And death was Fair.
Death was Equal.
Death...did not discriminate.
All were fair...Game.
