27. A little news from the future
"So, you tell me, you're a futurist from the 7th century onwards?"
Cybermore rubbed his chin and looked at Barry Allen in front of him with a peculiar, exotic look at the animal, well, the stronger one.
This guy is indeed a little more mature than the current Barry after taking off his armor, and his mood is more straightforward and cheerful, but judging by the way he sits and the way he observes everywhere, this is definitely a seasoned fighter, completely different from the current fledgling Barry Allen.
In the face of Cyber's inquiry, the future Barry shrugged:
"Yes, if it is fake, in the 27th century, the interstellar era, we have stepped into the centaur system, I am the chief sheriff of the third galaxy cantilever central star, a public official, the best employee of 21 years, right!"
The future Barry lifted his arm, revealing the cartoon black devil tattoo on his arm, and he said with a grin:
"I told you, I'm actually a fan of the Devil's Empire, of course, on the surface, we are enemies, but the star field you control is too far away from us, so it's hard for me to see you, to be precise, in the past 21 years, I've only seen you 3 times, I have to say, at that time, you were much more domineering and powerful. ”
This sentence was a bit informative, so that Cyber couldn't help but scratch his head, and he breathed a sigh of relief:
"Saying all this, aren't you afraid of affecting the future world? Can time and space travelers change the direction of history so casually? Also, when do you plan to repair the big hole hanging in the sky behind you? You have a way to repair it, right?"
The future Barry shrugged:
"Trust me, that's a minor issue, the collapse of the world caused by the collapse of the timeline takes at least 3 hours to brew, we have enough time, by the way, can you tell me, are you married now?"
"Huh?"
Cyber paused for a moment: "What's the problem?"
Barry clutched his stomach and laughed, and then said seriously: "In the 27th century, the love life of Lord Overlord has always been a big gossip that we are very concerned about, it is said that you met too many beautiful women in the first half of your life, but in the end you chose to spend the rest of your life with one of them, but until I came, we fans didn't know who your wife was..."
"Well, you're going to be idle in the future..."
Cyber picked up the cigar a little speechlessly, threw one to Barry, and the future Flash lit it without care, and then let out a satisfied moan in the smoke:
"Whew, the taste of a pure old-world cigar, oh my God, it's like being in heaven... Speaking of which, don't you have anything to ask about someone who knows the future?"
Faced with this question, Cyber hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head:
"If you know the answer in advance, then this game is very boring, unknown... The unknown is the most fascinating, but if you have to ask, I would say, are you really sure I'll live to be seven centuries from now? You know, I'm not an immortal..."
"Just not now. ”
Barry looked at the calendar on the table, snapped his fingers, and looked at Cyber with a prophetic and mysterious gaze: "You will soon enter one of the most splendid journeys of your first half of your life, until then, you were only a mortal hero, but after that, you will become a true great, although some people call you a butcher, but... Everything you will do in the future is really desirable. ”
"Are you sure you're saying this won't disrupt the timeline?"
Cyber pointed to the sky mysteriously, "I don't think a certain lady would think so. ”
"Lady Ancient One?"
A flash of sadness flashed in the future Barry's eyes, but it was also a flash, and he smiled and pointed to his head:
"It's okay, because tomorrow you'll forget everything I said today... Time is a river, it is not as fragile as you think, and the self-healing of time will eliminate all unstable factors, otherwise with the nonsense of a bastard like Reverse Lightning, the time network of the parallel world would have collapsed long ago. ”
"Actually, it's Barry Allen in 2024 who came to me for help when he was seriously injured, and I came here. ”
Cyber nodded silently, and after a moment, he looked at Barry Allen in front of him, and asked in a low voice:
"So the last question I care about... Barry, how long can I trust you? Will we be enemies?"
Hearing this, Barry Allen's expression became serious, he stood up, pressed one hand to his chest, and solemnly said to Cyber:
"You can trust me, but don't get too close to me, it's dangerous to enter the circle of a time traveler's life, Mr. Cyber, especially now, when I'm not that mature. ”
"Okay. ”
Cyber pulled two bottles from under the table and waved them at Barry:
"Since I'm going to forget tomorrow, let's just say a little bit more about what I'm going to do in the future, and make me happy, you know, it's hard to have that kind of opportunity alone, and I'm happy to share that joy with my future friends. ”
"Oh, of course!"
Barry rubbed his hands excitedly, he glanced back at the timeline collapse vortex in the sky, and he shrugged: "We still have 2 hours, which is amazing! It is amazing to be able to drink with Mr. Overlord from his youth! ”
"Speaking of which..."
As he poured Barry a drink, Cyber asked, "Why do you keep calling me Overlord?" ”
"Because you're the overlord..."
Barry took a sip of his wine and said cheerfully, "Although this name may sound silly, it is a title given to you by your opponent, and it is an honor, well... Let me think about it, it shouldn't be far from you getting it now, just..."
In short, all kinds of secrets, all kinds of stories came out of Barry Allen's mouth, and the whole conversation was full of laughter, but unfortunately, these joys could only be shared by two people.
According to Barry, it is true that time travelers can't reveal too much information when they encounter their past or future selves, which will cause a lot of trouble, but it is okay to say it to others, and those who are present, frankly, only Cyber Hawk can make people from the future of the 27th century look differently, and others are not enough to listen to this kind of secret from the future.
However, even the best banquet had its time, and when the last glass of wine was divided into two, the drunken Seber Hawke picked up a cigar and took a gentle puff, his sleepy eyes suddenly brightened, and on the other side, Barry Allen shrugged his shoulders and his eyes returned to normal.
"One last glass of wine, and I won't have a chance to meet again. ”
Barry whispered, "I'll be waiting for you in the 27th century, Great Overlord, and until then, don't die..."
"So, is that what your blessings have there?"
A smile tugged at the corner of Cyber's mouth, "Or is it important that you have something to tell me?"
"Your life has been legendary. ”
Barry stood up and straightened his clothes: "But no matter how legendary people are, there will be lows that you don't want to remember, you will soon usher in the most difficult and greatest choice in your life, I can't tell you the specifics of this choice, because this matter is too important, I can't let any factors get mixed in, it is almost a turning point in the history of this planet..."
There was a hint of caution on the Flash's face:
"Time is a river that never stops, but there will still be diversions in some important links, and when you really enter the event, you are completely free, and no one knows what choices you will make... This is the greatest gift that fate has given a person. ”
He raised his glass and whispered:
"Overlord, I wish you to continue to be great! I wish you to continue to fight! Completely fall into the abyss. ”
"I accept your blessing..."
Seber picked up his glass and drank it down: "Although the name is really ugly. ”
"Phew, it's time to get down to business. ”
Barry picked up his hood from the table and buckled it to his face:
"I'll take it away from the reverse lightning, the Central Star of the 27th century has prepared a cage for him that he will never escape, by the way, some of the things he left behind are very helpful to you, don't forget to take them, now, are you ready to forget all this?"
Seber leaned back in his chair, tilted his head, spat out a smoke ring, reached out and took a box of high-end cigars from Coulson's cabinet, tossed it to Barry, and waved at him, the chair slowly turned back:
"Go back to your 27th century... See you next time, you're in for a treat!"
"Hahaha, Overlord Covenant, I'm really honored!"
Barry's hearty laughter rang out over the entire villa, and Coulson and the others saw a dark red lightning rush into the sky, speeding around the entire Central City, which was definitely faster than the speed of light, but still visible to them.
"Every speeder has a different name for this trick..."
The voice of Barry Allen in the 27th century resounded in a sky entwined with a purple-black lightning rift, and the purple-black sky with red accents made the scene seem so beautiful and fantastical.
"I'm used to calling this a trick..."
"Yesterday... Reproduction!"
"Buzz"
With his eyes closed, Cyber felt a special light in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the cigar that had disappeared into a point of light in his fingers, and he whispered:
"Oh... The future, the past... Time, you're such a marvelous thing..."
The next moment, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the living room of the Coulson family came into view, and Cyber sat up from the sofa with some confusion, looking out the window at the orange-red twilight light, he walked to the window, took out a cigar but did not light it, and put it in his hand to play.
He felt like he was having a strange dream... But the content was completely forgotten, instinctively telling him that it was a very important thing, but not even a single fragment was left.
Central City outside the window is very quiet, it seems that the city has fallen into hibernation, but in fact it is not like this, just this morning, the big boss of Central City Reverse Lightning and the people of the Devil Gang had a fight, if it wasn't for Cyber to find Quicksilver, Flash rejoined them, in the face of a desperate speeder, I really don't know who killed the deer.
You know, if that super-large particle accelerator had exploded at that time, the entire city would have been flattened, and that wasn't what Cyber wanted to see.
"Ding Dong"
Coulson, who was tired, pushed open the door and walked in, and he sat down on the table behind Cyber, stretched his shoulders, and then whispered:
"The Flash and Quicksilver are still fighting, but the matter of Reverse Lightning has been resolved, speaking of which, that scene this morning is really terrifying, if it weren't for Flash and Quicksilver teaming up to kill Reverse Lightning, Central City would probably be over. ”
The former agent turned his head to look at the silent Cyber, and he asked in a low voice:
"The people have been assembled, when are we going to New York?" Fury just shared the information of the Ten Rings, and he also said that he could provide the right of way, and I think we could launch a surprise attack. ”
"Don't worry, the Ten Rings are there, and they won't run away with long legs, you know? Coulson, it occurred to me that..."
Cyber turned back to Coulson and smiled: "The loot of the reverse lightning, we haven't counted it yet, I have a vague hunch, that sudden premonition, there is something in there, it will be useful to me, yes, I can be sure of that!"
He rubbed his hands:
"Frankly, I can't wait... By the way, what do you think of the name Overlord?"
Coulson paused for a moment and shook his head:
"It's a blast!"
Sebo snorted, he turned his head to look at the picturesque dusk scenery outside the window, looked at the fire cloud covering the sky like blood, and whispered, "Actually, I feel that this name is quite good." ”
