"It's all your damn parasite! Well, now we're completely trapped here and can't get out!! Barry gritted his teeth and said in his head in the most vicious tone he could use.

At this time, he was in the middle of a dark passage, the walls were somewhat broken, the ground was very damp, and every step made a clattering sound, echoing in the quiet labyrinth of air, which was even more terrifying.

Barry walked slowly forward with his arm in his arms, and said, "I said I should take advantage of the opportunity to find a place to climb up, and now that the road above my head is blocked, where should we go?" ”

"Why are you so cowardly?!" Doctor Strange said coldly in his head, "If you want to gain power, how can you not pay the price?" ”

"I'm not here to gain power." "There's a very dangerous power core underneath Gotham City, and I suspect that the darkness of Gotham has something to do with it, and if anyone really wants to do it, I have to know what they're going to do." ”

"Got it, righteous boy, now turn left, I can feel the traces of energy growing stronger at the intersection on the left, I think we're almost there."

After separating from Hallie and Bruce, Barry is not idle, he wants to find the Batman of this universe, and then let Batman find a way to send him back, preferably to expel this strange voice from his head, Barry is almost driven crazy by the evil plans he talks about every day.

But at this moment, Doctor Strange showed Barry the flow of magic in his vision, and for some reason, Doctor Strange, who has the dark god book, is particularly sensitive to the power of concepts such as darkness, even in a different universe, he is like a hound with a keen sense of smell, and immediately sniffs out the unusual traces of power in Gotham City.

However, his thinking is different from the others, everyone else has gone to study the dark power in the metal, and decided to gather less to make more, but this Doctor Strange, who has devoured countless of his kind, wants to directly get the most powerful source of darkness, so he tells Barry that there is a very likely dangerous source of energy hidden under Gotham.

He wasn't lying, Barry knew that what he saw through his perspective was true, he didn't plan to risk his life, he just wanted to tell Batman the news, but he couldn't find Batman after looking in the city for a long time, and more importantly, the dark energy under the ground began to fluctuate.

Barry didn't know when the huge magical energy bomb would explode, and he didn't know if Batman, who was returning late, would be able to defuse the bomb in time, so he felt that he needed to take a look, and even if he couldn't, he could provide enough information for Batman in time.

So, under the guidance of Doctor Strange, Barry found one of the entrances to the owl maze in the cemetery in Gotham, and successfully entered the maze.

This maze can trap Batman, and it is even easier to trap a flash who has not fully awakened, Barry got lost as he walked, and then the ceiling of the maze was lifted, and he wanted to seize the opportunity to climb up, but the walls were too slippery, and his height was not enough, and after missing the opportunity, the maze was recapped, and he was trapped here again.

After going through this series of tribulations, Barry is no longer the ordinary boy who can only shout and scream before, in the extreme practice of the Kama Taj School of Magic, he has already touched a trace of the threshold of divine speed, but because that universe does not have divine speed, he has not been able to continue to develop.

And now back in the DC Universe, when Barry concentrated, he could feel that everything around him seemed to slow down, and this symptom began to get worse and worse, at first it was only for a second or two of shaking time, and then as long as he concentrated a little, the sound of dripping water in the maze was almost slow to a few minutes, obviously it was still a drop per second before.

And Barry found that in this state, the strange voice in his head could not disturb him, he was stunned for ten minutes, and the outside world only a few seconds later, Barry had more time to think.

"It should be this way, keep walking, I seem to see a door in front of me." Doctor Strange's voice continued to ring in Barry's head, but as usual, there was no response, and he had to start shouting again, "Barry! Barry! Wake up! Don't be stunned, boy! ”

Barry came back to his senses and walked forward, and Doctor Strange was surprised and said in his head, "What's the matter with you?" Why is it that the distraction is getting longer and longer? ”

"It's nothing, maybe it's the environment here that makes me a little uncomfortable." Barry reached out and rubbed his arms, exhaled a cold breath, and walked towards the gate at the end of the dark labyrinth corridor.

It was a huge wooden door of great grandeur, which looked like a hanging door for a castle, and two huge knockers were held in the mouth by a dragon's head, and the eyes glittered with strange brilliance.

"I can feel the huge dark power inside, go inside, success or failure is here."

Barry slowly pushed the door open, he thought it would be heavy, but it was obviously not the kind of tomb door that hadn't been pushed open for centuries, but the door of a room that was often moved, so although Barry struggled a little, the door was pushed through a small slit that he could squeeze into.

The moment he squeezed in, Barry felt himself enveloped in a thick darkness, not the darkness of the room without a lamp, but a solid darkness that was substantial like hot spring water.

As the door was pushed open, the darkness poured out like flowing water, and Barry quickly tried to float back and close the door, which seemed to be some kind of sealing device, and when the door was closed, the darkness no longer leaked out.

Barry was like a fish floating in the endless sea of darkness, he didn't feel uncomfortable, he didn't feel swallowed, he just felt a warm feeling like returning to his mother's amniotic fluid.

Barry hadn't forgotten what he was here for, and when he looked closely, he saw a void in the middle of the endless darkness, like a portal, from which the thick darkness poured out.

Barry's Adam's apple moved slightly, and Doctor Strange's excited voice sounded in his head: "Quick! Fast! It's there, I feel the endless dark power there, get on in, you devour all the power there, and you'll be able to rival the gods! ”

"No, I ......"

But Barry still felt an inexplicable attraction coming from the door, he continued to keep his eyes open and try to observe the situation around the portal, and then in the darkness he faintly saw a huge circle carved on the ground below the portal, a hexagonal circle, with a circle on each corner, and some damp footprints left in the middle of the circle, judging from the clarity of the footprints, the person performing the ritual had just left.

"Someone opens a portal under Gotham, teleports this solidified darkness to Gotham's underground, and then contaminates Gotham with this darkness." Barry felt that he had deduced the whole truth, so he turned around and walked away and said, "I have to go back and tell Batman, maybe if I know the truth, Batman can save Gotham." ”

"Hey, wait!" Doctor Strange yelled in his head, "Are you crazy? You've gone through a lot of hardships to get here, and this power is yours! ”

"I don't need much strength." Barry pushed the door hard and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, I have a lot of sympathy for the Gotham people living in chaos, I think they should be better off, Batman is the one who works hardest to save them, as long as he knows the truth, he will definitely find a way to close the portal." ”

"Y-You're incorrigibly stupid!!" Doctor Strange gritted his teeth and scolded, but across a universe, he had no other way but to see, but he really couldn't bear to have such a rich energy.

In short, this Doctor Strange was not much richer in his original universe, and the object he chose to devour was his younger self in another universe, just because these Strange had not been a Supreme Mage for a long time, so it was easier to deal with.

But in the same way, a young Supreme Mage means that he doesn't have much power, what this Doctor Strange is doing is a bit like a beggar licking a disc and a thief stealing a poor ghost, and now such a big ball of energy is placed in front of his eyes, but he can't eat it, so how can he not be in a hurry?

"Hey! Hey! Barry, don't be in such a hurry to make a decision. Doctor Strange slowed down his tone and took out the patience to coax the child, "Maybe you can better help Batman with this energy, he will definitely need your help, right?" The people of Gotham also need your own rescue. ”

"Listen, power is not a sin, as long as you can control this power, then you can do what you want with it, but only if you get it first, what's the harm in taking this energy? You ......"

"As long as there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that someone like you will get energy, that is, no amount of energy, I will not ask for it." Barry said categorically: "It's not that I don't want to take it, I just don't want you to take it!" ”

After saying that, he completely shut up and didn't speak, let's put it this way, paranoia gathers by like, and breeds by groups, The Flash has a good relationship with Batman in the original book, who can expect a friend of a strong seed not to be a strong seed?

At most, Batman is criticized for not knowing how to communicate, and the Flash is strong enough to destroy the universe in minutes.

Without saying a word, Barry pushed the door and was about to leave, but suddenly, he heard a commotion at the other end of the hallway, and through a small crack in the door that had just been pushed open, Barry saw a group of monsters with teeth and claws rushing towards the end of the hallway.

When the roar came, Barry showed a somewhat frightened expression, and he muttered to himself, "What death?" Who is Darkseid? These monsters are ...... again."

"Ahh

Barry pushed the door shut with all his might, pressed his back against the door, and said with wide eyes, "What's the matter with those monsters with mechanical armor?" Where did they rush out? ”

Then, he gritted his teeth and inhaled in a little horror, but soon, his worst fears came true, the monster rushed to the gate and smelled the living inside, and they began to rush in desperately.

Barry turned sideways and blocked the door with one arm on one side, originally his strength could not withstand so many monsters, but this door itself seemed to be a kind of seal, and creatures that did not meet the conditions would not be released, almost relying on the strength of the gate itself to resist the monster's attack.

But there were too many monsters rushing into this corridor, at first they just stood on the ground and scratched the door, but as the number increased, they began to ride one by one, and finally the tall gate was all attached to the monster from bottom to top, and they were all constantly screaming and scratching, trying to tear the door apart with their terrifying power.

With an imperceptible "creak", Barry was horrified to find that the seal of the gate was crumbling.

He pressed his shoulders against the door, but he felt that his meager strength could not even resist the monster for half a second, and anxiety and fear filled his heart.

Is it really necessary to absorb the dark forces?

No! Barry bit his lip hard until he tasted blood, that monster in his head had killed a lot of people, and if he had gained so much power, more would have died, it must not be like this!

The door was squeezed open a crack, and countless spiked arms squeezed in, one of which nearly pierced Barry's head.

In the midst of great anxiety and fear, Barry had no choice but to keep moving his steps and push the door forward.

One step, two steps, three steps, continue to exert force, continue to accelerate, continue to concentrate, faster speed, greater strength, stronger belief -

Suddenly, the light through the crack in the gate changed color, and the whole world was enveloped in lightning-like golden light.
