Chapter 113: Sage Power
On the street, the photon blood vessels on Kewen's body have changed from red to unstable silver, and the mask has also turned dangerously red, which shows that Kewen has turned on the acceleration form at this time, and will not be limited by time and speed, as long as his body can bear it. Similarly, after a memory blocking, Wally, who was also controlled, also changed from the Flash's assistant Lightning Kid to the Flash at this time, and the two speeders confronted each other like this.
In the next second, the two of them disappeared from the street at the same time, and a golden flash and a silver figure appeared in every corner of Canterlot. The acceleration form that is no longer limited, combined with Kewen's explosive physical fitness at this time, even if it is physical acceleration, Kewen can withstand it, and at the same time, it can also ensure that when he is physically accelerating, he will not cause damage to the things around him.
Similarly, as a speedy speeder, Wally himself is the third generation of Flash in the DC world, and inherited his battle uniform after his uncle was sacrificed to the sky. At the same time, the fastest man in the world is himself Wally, who became the third generation of Flashes. It's just that in this new 52 universe, Barry has not yet been sacrificed to the sky, and at the same time he is also the father of the speed force, although he is not as whimsical as Wally in the use of the speed force, but in terms of speed, Barry still maintains the first.
Because in the use of the speed force, Barry, who is materialistic himself, has been gradually brought to the idealistic aspect by his eldest nephew, and the speed force itself is an idealistic thing, it is materialistic, because the user is materialistic. Even the father of the speed force has walked on the path of idealism, so the fastest person in the world is naturally the Flash Barry Allen.
Even so, Kewen still didn't have any advantage in the speed wrestling with Wally, for no other reason, that is, the speed force was too perverted. At first, Ke Wen could still rely on the acceleration form to not limit the speed of the increase and his own physique to fight against Wally for a while, but soon, Ke Wen began to get a little tired.
Not only did he have to deal with Volina's fists that he swung at breakneck speed, but he also had to make sure that as his speed increased, he would still be well protected from Canterlot. After two factors, Kewen has lost the ability to suppress Wally in terms of speed, and the speed of the two has also changed from being equal at the beginning to becoming Cowen always one step slower Wally, every time he attacks, Wally can dodge first, and then dodge and appear behind him, or the dead corner of his own attack, attacking himself.
The fist under the blessing of the speed force was not so pleasant, just one punch, Ke Wen directly broke away from the acceleration state, flew somewhere, and smashed a corner of the building. The speed at which the rubble fell, not as fast as he flew, nor as fast as Wally, the Flash, caught up, kept accelerating in the battle with Wally, and then Wally knocked it out at a speed higher than a head's speed, and for a while, in the quiet and peaceful night of Canterlot, in every corner, there was a muffled thunderous sound at the same time.
It was the result of a battle between Cowen and Wally, their extreme speed, faster than sound. Although in their battle vision, the attack was already a matter of seconds. But in the feedback from the outside world, this happened at the same time, crashing into a corner of the building again, Kewen, who lost his speed advantage, was close to Wally, directly buckled his neck, stepped on a stone that was also flying in the air at will, and with a borrowed force, he smashed down to the ground by pressing Kewen.
On the ground of Canterlot, a huge pothole appeared, and Kewen was directly knocked by Wally, smashing a huge hole on the road. One hand pressed on Ke Wen's chest, and the other hand vibrated at high speed, and the high-frequency molecular vibration hand knife was enough to cut through all objects, even if Ke Wen had an alien Faiz form at this time, it was just a little more waste.
"Man, it's the first time I've been fighting someone at top speed for so long, great, but you're still one step slower than me, don't resist anymore, otherwise, I'll have to take violent measures, see my hand."
Pressing Cowen's chest, Wally said as well. And Ke Wen, who had just recovered from a series of injuries caused by Wally, just looked at the friend in front of him, and also let out a helpless laugh and said.
"Listen, I know you don't know me yet, but I still have to say sorry to you, Wally, for what I'm going to do next."
Wally:???
There was no time for Wally to wonder, and when Curwen said this, a stone that had long been held in his hand bounced out of Curwen's thumb. The stone that blessed Kewen's strength was like an armor-piercing bullet, directly piercing Wally's left knee, and Kewen's sudden attack made Wally directly lose his balance and let out a miserable scream, and his high-frequency vibrating right hand also lost its alignment, cutting a ravine on the ground next to Kewen.
Standing up from the ground, Kewen looked at Wally, who was unable to stand up after being attacked by himself in the left knee at this time, and stepped forward.
"As I said, I'm sorry for what I did next, man, this speedy force thing is too perverted, so..."
Kewen raised his foot and stepped on Wally's right foot directly, with a sound of broken bones, Wally's right foot was also directly deformed under Curwen's feet, and Wally let out a scream again. Ke Wen was helpless about his friend's tragic situation, this was the best solution he could think of, anyway, there was a god speed, and it would take two or three minutes to heal, so he didn't continue to consume time with Wally here, and his figure flashed, and Ke Wen left from this pit.
Barry Allen's home, because Wally appeared as the Flash to take Curvin away, giving the originally chaotic Allen family a breathing space. The Allen family, who had not been harmed in any way, snuggled up to each other, and they were a little afraid of what happened at home just now, but because Ke Wen appeared at home as a different Faiz, the originally harmonious dinner atmosphere also had problems.
At this time, Nora Allen, who was protected by her husband, looked at her husband, still having love for herself, but she was not a little curious about what had just happened, and she was not at all curious about why the strange person was making trouble for herself, and Nora Allen also looked at the mechanical part of her arm that was exposed after the skin was cut open at this time. Obviously it's just a machine, why do you feel pain the same, is this feeling felt by yourself, or is it some kind of operational program feedback?
What the hell are you now?! Nora Allen looked at his arm that exposed the mechanical part, looked at his family, no matter who it was, he didn't react to his abnormality at this time, but simply cared about himself there, except for his son, Barry Allen.
"Barry, what the hell is going on!" Nora Allen looked at her son and questioned as well, because she found that of all the people, only her son was the most concerned about the wound on her hand at this time, while the others were concerned with a commanding care. Nora could feel this strange feeling, and because of this, she didn't understand what was wrong with her, and why the people around her were like this.
"Mom, everything is fine, it's okay, you're just a little injured, I'll take the medicine box to help you bandage it now."
In response to Nora's questioning, Barry was also like his own father, as if he didn't see the abnormality on Nora's arm at this time, and comforted his mother there. It's just that he was just about to turn around and get the medicine box, but Nora grabbed his arm.
"I don't remember teaching you to lie, Barry, and you're not good at lying, so tell me what the hell happened."
Looking at the way his mother looked at him, Barry, who had behaved like a quail when Kewen appeared just now, was like a different person at this time. Some didn't dare to look Nora in the eye, but responded with silence. But at this time, Kewen, who temporarily took care of Wally, also appeared here, and at the same time, he also said out loud.
"Because it's your son, Barry Allen, Lady Nora Allen, who caused all this."
Kewen, who appeared in Allen's house again, said these amazing words directly, and at the same time waved his hand, except for Barry and Nora's mother and son, everyone else passed out like this, leaving Curvin standing there, looking at Nora Allen, who had a mechanical part of the wound on his arm exposed at this time, and Barry Allen, who had a complicated expression. After hearing Nora Allen's questioning of her son, and Barry's eyes looking at his mother.
Coupled with Wally, who replaced the identity of the Flash, everything was connected in Covin's mind. He understood why the citizens of the center were all smiling and not committing crimes, and why Barry Allen's life had been turned upside down. Nora Allen, who was standing there and questioning her son, listened to what Kewen said at this time, and also looked at her son, and from her son's eyes, she knew that the strange person who suddenly appeared in front of her was not lying, but she didn't understand all this.
"Barry caused all this? Who are you! What the hell is going on, me, what's going on! ”
Looking at the wound on her arm, Nora also questioned Curvin, and everything that happened here at this time made her unacceptable. Unable to accept the fact that she is very likely not human, unable to accept the fact that her favorite son has created all this, unable to accept that everything she lives is false, all this, makes her feel that she is living in a lie.
Standing there, Kewen could also feel what Nora Allen was thinking at this time, and he also said there: "Yes, Ms. Nora Allen, you are not wrong, maybe, from the beginning, you lived in a city made up of lies, but this lie is so true that even the people who weave lies have sunk into it, I am not wrong, Barry Allen, The Flash." ”
In the face of Kewen's questioning, standing there, Barry, who was silent, raised his head for the first time, looked at the person in front of him who he should have known but didn't know, and showed a bitter smile.
"It's you, the existence that has been expelled by the modification of reality, can you tell me, how did you, who have been blocked once, find out that I influenced Canterlot."
"You're not bad, to be honest, I didn't associate the memory of the citizens of the Central City with the person who changed the memory of the citizens of the Central City and blocked my memory at the beginning. Because you are the Flash, everything you do is to protect the city, how can you do anything to harm the city, so when I woke up from the coma and realized that I had been blocked from my memory once, I began to lurk near your house, because in the memory I was blocked by you, you have never erased a little, that is, the fact that your mother, Nora Allen, has died. ”
When Curvin said the sentence that Nora Allen was dead, Nora Allen, as the person concerned, was also frightened by Curwen's words. She turned her head to look at Barry, and in her son's eyes, she was indeed dead. And Cowen also continued to explain his discoveries during this time when he observed the Nora Allen couple and Barry Allen's family.
"Yes, that's what makes me wonder. Because the fact that Henry Allen, a university professor, killed his wife is not a trivial matter in Canterlot, Barry. But when I investigated the situation between you and your parents, no matter who it was, they didn't have any impression of what happened back then, and everything that happened after that was basically the same, and I also checked the newspapers from that year to the present, and in the library, nothing has changed except for your parents, which gives me a doubt. ”
"What doubts?" Barry asked there too.
"Why did this guy who changed the memories of the citizens of the center city only change the memories of Barry Allen's parents in the minds of the citizens of the center city. If he can modify the citizens of the central city, why don't he do it with me, he can do it, but why doesn't he do it, is he expecting something from me, a sober person? Following this line of thought, I began to deduce it backwards, and at the same time observed what kind of life you Barry Allen lived under such memory modifications. ”
"Did you see that?"
Regarding Cowen's statement, Barry also helped his emotionally unstable mother to sit down, and then asked Cowen again.
"Yes, I saw that Barry Allen was living happily with his parents by his side, with a wife who loved him and loved him, a decent and fulfilling job, parents who grew up with him, and a city with the best environment, where there was no crime, only happy neighbors. All of this is what Barry Allen wants the most, but the question is, is it someone else, or himself, according to the Barry Allen I know, he won't do this, until, after I heard the conversation between you and your mother just now, I suddenly thought, maybe, it was he who caused all this, maybe it was himself, maybe it's him. ”
With Kewen's explanation, Barry's expression also became a little bitter, because every inference that Kewen said at this time was consistent. And Ke Wen also continued there: "As for what made me completely sure, it was the appearance of the Flash just now, the symbol of the Flash has long been linked to Canterlot, there is no Flash in Canterlot, I always feel that there is something in this city."
So here's the question, Barry Allen is here, who will the Flash be, you gave me the answer, you turned Wally into you, but I still don't understand, what is the point of you doing this, you can't weave this lie for a lifetime, the Justice League will see through it, the absence of the Lightning Kid will also attract the attention of those who care about it, if you want to continue to maintain it, you have to weave another lie, and I still don't understand how you managed to modify the memories of the citizens of the Central City. ”
After talking so much, Cowen still has doubts in his heart, everything that happened in Canterlot, everything he observed, pointed the finger at Barry Allen. But in Kewen's memory, the speed force does not help people modify the memory of this skill, even the gorilla Groot, its powerful telepathic ability, can not do the point of completely changing people's cognition, can do this is the Martian Manhunter, but Barry is not to the point of attacking the Martian Manhunter.
And just when Kewen and Barry confronted him, in the distance, Wally, who was injured by Kewen's yin trick and injured his legs, also recovered from his injuries through the super recovery power of God Speed. With a flash of figure, he appeared in front of Ke Wen at extreme speed, ready to stop Ke Wen's actions. After noticing Wally's actions, Curvin also gave up the idea of continuing to ask, and he still kept accelerating, and rushed towards Nora Allen, who was sitting there.
If you can't find out from Barry how he changed the minds of the citizens of the Central City, you can only use Nora Allen, the deceased, who is ready to leave with Nora Allen in a flash. And at this moment, Barry Allen, the real Flash, stood there, watching all this happen, without the slightest thought of stopping it, because someone had done it for him.
The invisible force field unfolded, whether it was Wally who came from a distance, or Curwen who was about to leave with Nora Allen at this time, under the shroud of this invisible force field, they were all frozen in place, unable to move, and the only thing that could move was Barry who was standing there, and a figure who came from a distance and appeared in front of Kewen. The alien Drive, which is composed of red and black metal all over the body, appeared in front of Ke Wen, and this time, in addition to being unable to move, Ke Wen's thinking and language abilities still exist.
And with the appearance of the alien Drive, Kewen's original blocked memories have also broken through the blockade and connected everything.
"It's worthy of Kamen Rider, the superhero who gave me this power, even if my memory was blocked twice, I was still able to find out the reason for the weirdness of Canterlot, here, I have to give you a thumbs up. Also, as a bonus, I'll answer your question about why Barry Allen was able to alter the memories of the citizens of the Central City. ”
Standing there, the alien Drive transformed by the turtle man did not show his true face, but raised his hand, and a stream of green energy escaped from his hand, floating around Kewen. With this force enveloping, Ke Wen also found that every thought in his mind became slow, and there were a bunch of questions that he wanted to answer, but he couldn't even show the specific content of the questions.
"I think you've felt it, your thinking has slowed down," the energy around Kewen retracted, and the alien Drive also continued: "This is the power I showed you, a force field called the force of rest, I believe you also know that the speed force is the fifth basic force of this universe.
But before ancient times, there were three other powers that were on par with the speed of the gods, namely the static power that stagnated everything, the power of the sages who controlled the mind, the power of infinite wisdom, and the power of infinite power, all of which were sealed by the speed force to a place called the Wall of Origin. Originally, I shouldn't have known about this, but three months ago, yes, after the event of the return of the dead, the knowledge of these powers came to my mind, and it was then that I learned that the power I had in my hands was called the force of stillness. ”
Listening to the narration of the alien Drive, Ke Wen, who had returned to his normal thinking speed, also compared the memory in his mind for the first time, that was when he used the white light infinite soul form to kick the black hand that incarnated as the Black Death Emperor into the origin wall. If it was that time, it would be able to correspond to what the alien Drive said at this time, that is to say, when he put his black hand on the origin wall, the three powers that were said to be equal to the speed force also ran out of the origin wall?!
The static force is on the alien Drive in front of him, and the sage power that can control the mind has come to Barry Allen, the Flash?!
"Yes, as you can imagine, the Speed Force itself can control the other three forces, otherwise it wouldn't have sealed it into the Wall of Origin. So as a user of the Divine Speed Force, how could the fastest person in the world not be able to control one of the Sage Powers? ”
"But he won't do this, even if he has this kind of sage power that controls other people's minds and infinite wisdom, not to mention, he knows better what the consequences of doing this are, what exactly have you done to him!"
Frozen in the air, looking at Barry who was silent behind the alien Drive, Curwen was also there to question the alien Drive, he didn't believe that Barry was taking the initiative to modify other people's memories while staying awake. It must be this alien knight in front of you who has done something!
It's just that in response to Kewen's groundless accusation, the alien Drive shook his head and said, "Tut-tut, kid, you think of him too strongly." I didn't do anything, I just arranged a special meeting at a specific time and a specific place, from beginning to end, he was awake, but people are always like this, we always go to hope for something that we can't get in the first place, especially after seeing hope, okay, answer this is the end, what are you waiting for, Flash, there is still one last step left to make the dream come true, do you really plan to give up? Think about your mother, think about your life now. ”
In the words of the alien Drive, Barry, who had been listening behind him, stood up and moved towards Curwen step by step. The blue energy condensed in Barry's palm, with a little unbearable, and glanced back at Nora Allen, who was still, and his eyes gradually became firm, and he stretched out towards Kewen.
"You're going to ask him to block my memories one more time? Then I can also tell you that I will come again, and I will definitely rip the Flash out of this real dream! ”
"No, you won't," the alien Drive didn't mean any sarcasm at Kewen's rhetoric, but stated a fact there: "I'm sure you've also discovered during this time, you seem to be a little used to the atmosphere of Canterlot, this time blocking, you will forget the memory that you are still a superhero, you are just a nobody with a new profession and a new life, and then, completely become a part of Canterlot, enjoy yourself in this utopia, Kamen Rider, this is my kindness to you." ”
As the alien Drive spoke, Barry's right hand full of sage power pressed on Curvin's head, and the blue sage power activated. Kewen, once again experienced the feeling of being blocked from the original memory, only this time, he felt longer, and at the same time, he lost more things, and everything about what he experienced began to become blurred, which is different from the impact of Dr. Manhattan's modification of reality, but a simple kind of brainwashing, this way, can only be broken by himself.
Removing his hand from Ke Wen's head, Ke Wen, who had been brainwashed by the sage force, also lifted his transformation and fell to the ground, unconscious. Looking at Ke Wen, who had fainted, Barry just whispered there: "I'm sorry, but I'll make amends, soon, I will use this power to shape a new world, your identity, I will help you get it back." ”
"I'm looking forward to it, but before that, I think you should adjust your mother's memory. Well? I forgot, this kid still has a good car, forget it, just give you a face, I'll arrange a better identity for him. With that, Drive, an alien transformed by the Turtle Man, picked up Curwen and walked towards the Settron chariot that appeared on the corner of the street at an unknown time.
After Barry brainwashed Curvin, he also lifted the superposition of the stationary force and the gravitational acceleration field, and time had resumed its flow. The Zetron chariot that appeared on the street corner was naturally regarded as a high-end car with intelligence by the alien Drive, which was not worth mentioning, and he threw Kewen into the car at will, and the alien Drive said: "Good dream tonight, boy." ”
And with Barry, who has mastered the power of the sage, once again shrouded the blue sage power in Canterlot, everything seems to have returned to square one.
