Chapter 148: The Power of Time
Central City, a suburb.
"Stop!"
With a sudden shout of reverse lightning, Thaddeus Swan, who had already turned into a yellow afterimage, stopped, and could see that the lightning of divine speed on his body seemed to have changed from the original dark green to a red form similar to reverse lightning.
"Feel the time that we've passed by now, Thaddeus, you should be standing on a rolling ball, you can control it, I need you to be as fast as you want to be as fast as you want to be and slow down."
But Inertia pursed his lips with disdain, and then looked at the red lightning released from his hand with a satisfied gaze.
"But I'm a genius, I've learned how you run, and now I'm more connected to the Speed Force than before, and I'm running faster, if I see that bastard again, I'm sure I'll give him some color and dig out all his internal organs!"
"No, no, no, no, no, you need to learn! You can't be connected to the speed force all the time, you have to be like me and me, controlling the flow of time itself, just like walking on a balance beam, in order to fulfill the requirements of the scale! ”
"I don't need to! I don't care about the evil priests of the evil gods, I just want to kill the children of the Flash, let's do it, Dr. Speed, right now! ”
"Wait—"
Just as the inertia and reverse lightning were about to run, a thunderbolt suddenly launched from the rearview mirror of a scrapped car on the side of the road, and slammed into the inertia and reverse lightning.
Bang!
"Hell, he's coming!"
The moment of inertia and the reverse lightning spread out at the same time, and Red emerged from the point where the lightning fell, holding Mjölnir in his hand and holding it flat on his chest.
Draw your sword and slash!
Shout!
A 360-degree circular sword qi with no dead angles spread out towards the surroundings, but this was not a narrow and undodgable basement, and the speed of inertia was a few points faster than before, and he easily ran out of the attack range of the sword drawn.
"Hahahaha, the same move won't work again for me! Alright, now let me tie all your nerves into a dead knot—"
Inertia excitedly burst into red lightning all over his body, and rushed in front of Red at almost 500 times the speed of sound, which is far beyond the neural reaction speed of humans and even most superhumans.
In the eyes of inertia, Red was simply as still as a statue, and he maintained the posture of drawing and slashing the knife motionless.
"Wait, Thaddeus, stop!"
Reverse Lightning, who had been staying away from Red since he appeared, was the first to notice that something was wrong, and he immediately warned about the inertia, but it was too late.
When the inertia touched Red's back, it did not penetrate the heart as smoothly as expected, and just as he was about to use high-frequency vibrations to penetrate Red's skin, Red suddenly slammed back with Thor's hammer at twice the speed of inertia.
"How-"
Reverse counterattack!
Bang!
The inertia was hit in the jaw and flew directly into the air, his jawbone was completely shattered, and just as Red jumped up to give the final blow to the concussive inertia, a red light flashed from the sky, quickly snatching the inertia away from him.
"How...... Yes...... I didn't feel it...... Divine Speed Force ......"
The jaw of inertia slowly recovered under the effect of the speed force, but he looked at Red with a look of horror and disbelief, for he was even more incomprehensible to him than the speed at which Red could catch up with him.
"Idiot! Didn't I already remind you to wake you up, he didn't use the speed force, but the time interval!! ”
It seems that the experienced Reverse Lightning first saw the mystery of Red, the reason why he was able to use the reaction of the Extreme Speed to use the sword soul's move was not to make himself faster, the real secret was to slow down the surroundings.
It was a serendipitous discovery that in the underground showroom of the Flash Museum, after Red used Myornir to catch the lightning of the speed of inertia, he discovered that the Time Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet resonated with him.
Speed Force is an ability that is closely related to time, and some powerful Speed Riders can even use Speed Force to travel through the past and change the timeline.
In this case, it seems that the power of the Divine Speed Force Lightning to activate the Time Stone is not incomprehensible.
However, Red is not able to use the Time Gem unlimitedly, and if he wants to trigger the power of the Time Gem, he must consume the speed force.
That's why he deliberately let the inertia attack him, absorbing his speed power to activate the Time Stone at the moment of contact, and then reversing the counterattack.
Although the hammer just now failed to directly kill the inertia, he looked like he had been stunned by himself, and his brain was messed up. Red didn't miss this opportunity, and at the same time as immediately activating the Time Stone, a Breaking Army Ascending Dragon Strike rushed towards the inertia.
But to Red's surprise, Reverse Lightning did not run away with inertia this time, he kicked the inertia hard with his foot, and instead turned around and rushed towards Red.
"Feel the clock inside you! Tick tick sound, you can change yours, you can also change someone else's, listen well! ”
Reverse Lightning used his fist to shake at high speed and superimpose the power, and met Red's Broken Army Ascending Dragon Attack head-on, Thor's hammer and Reverse Lightning didn't know how many times the mass of the fist collided, and in the huge roar, Reverse Lightning's fist was directly smashed into bone chips and flesh and blood foam.
This is not over, Red immediately used the pick-up Mjölnir to smash down, and the reverse lightning could only be blocked with the other arm, but in the flesh splash, Red's hammer still smashed out a shock wave, blasting the reverse lightning directly out.
Reverse Lightning's arms were smashed directly from below the elbow, revealing gloomy stubble, and he rolled on the ground a few times before hitting the foot of Inertia, but the latter stood in place with a blank gaze and muttered to himself as if he didn't see him.
"Tick, I hear you, speed, I ......"
"This master-apprentice drama is indeed very touching, but it should also end in tragedy."
Red charged forward, ready to deliver the final blow to the two Speedster villains.
However, at this moment, the dazzling red electric light was suddenly released with the center of inertia, and Red originally wanted to use Mjölnir to absorb the lightning directly, but at this moment, a sudden foreboding made him brake urgently and jump backwards to widen the distance.
I saw that as the red lightning raged, the color of the uniform on Inertia's body began to change, and the yellow Lightning Boy uniform was quickly covered with purple, and at the same time, the lightning around his body also turned a strange purple.
What's more, all the injuries that Inertia had just suffered were gone as if they hadn't happened.
Then Inertia raised his hand, but not at Red, but at the reverse lightning on the ground.
"Wait, Thaddeus, what are you doing-"
"You gave me a thread of 'Time Power' so that I could run like you, and now, I'm going to take off my sweater!"
A dazzling purple lightning instantly covered the reverse lightning, which let out a painful wail.
"Tick tick...... I'm going to steal all your time, all your power! ”
