Chapter 197: Death of the Flash! A glimpse into the future by the reverse lightning!
"Reasonable, Batman. I don't understand why you stink this face, and you sent Reverse Lightning to help the Flash, and you took me with you. β
Chen Tao and the killer crocodile sat in the stealth plane, and they were hurrying at supersonic speed in the blood-colored sky of the red of all beings.
The big crocodile said a little sullenly:
"Don't we already know by now, that gorilla Grootβ"
"It's Grude." Chen Tao corrected him:
"It's an orangutan, and it's a super psychic person no less than the bald Black who was made a zombie by Bane before, not the tree man next door."
"Yes, Grude." "But I still don't understand. Whether it's the Turtle Man or Grude, we've all known about their existence, oh yes, and the man behind the superman who likes to wear Superman uniforms and bury his face in the shadows and pretend to be Scarfaceβall exposed! β
The crocodile said, "What is there to be afraid of? What are you worried about? Truth be told, I've always been confident in my IQ, but I'll admit that you're a little bit smarter than me. β
With one hand, he activated his ability, grasping the instrument that was fixed on the console and could see the material plane in the red of all beings, and the other scaly arm hooked Chen Tao's seat, and patted Batman's seat with his hand or claw:
"Even I can think of a few ways to make a mess of gorillas and turtles, will you have no idea?"
He said, "Reverse Lightning, Flash, and you who can turn into a Kryptonian with red light in your eyes, plus me and the thugs who can be called at any time." β
"Nightwing is my Robin, not a thug."
The killer crocodile in Robin's uniform glared at the bull's eye.
"I'm your Robin! I'm going to be mad when you say that. β
ββ¦β¦β
Chen Tao was speechless.
"All in all, I don't think there's any suspense in this fight. What are the other key factors that can influence the outcome? Scoundrels? β
Chen Tao sighed.
"Use your brains, Wellen." He assumed the gesture of teaching Robin: "What is being overlooked? β
"What?"
The crocodile stared at its wide, twinkling eyes.
Chen Tao sighed again.
"Who brought us to Elsa's office?"
"Reverse lightning."
"Recall the situation, Willen."
"Oh, okay." The killer crocodile replied honestly: "He said that he found the stronghold of the Marton family, and then we went directly from the Red of All Beings, who originally wanted to save Barry's girlfriend Petty, who knew that she was not locked up there at all, but accidentally found the gorilla Grud and the turtle man and the two of them-"
"That's the problem."
Chen Tao said: "It went so well. β
βοΌβ
"The brave men quietly entered the lair of the Demon King, and happened to hear the plan of the Evil Demon King clearly? Not sooner or later, at this moment, at this moment, even the mastermind behind the scenes was directly discovered by me at one time? β
Chen Tao said: "Everything is too deliberate, this is too clichΓ©, clichΓ© makes me want to laugh." β
"But we've seen it with our own eyes......"
"What you see is the truth, but not the truth, Wellen. All this must be a conspiracy against the lightning, and if I had even believed in him before, I don't trust him at all. β
The killer crocodile opened his mouth, feeling a little difficult to express: "Just because the reverse lightning took us there?" Why, the last time you told me about Reverse Lightning, didn't you already make a partnership with him to have Barry send him back to his own time? Didn't you tell me his purpose was to go home? β
"To be exact, the purpose of Reverse Lightning is to replace the Flash, and when he finds that he can't do it, this purpose becomes to torture the Flash."
"I'm already a little dizzy." Killer crocodile said.
"When he found out again that this goal could not be achieved as well, in the end, he retreated to the next best thing, and turned into leaving the present and returning to his own time."
Chen Tao paused and said:
"So you understand what that means?"
"What does that mean?"
"It means that Reverse Lightning will always act irrationally because of the hatred in his heart."
Chen Tao replied to him.
"No one knows Reverse Lightning better than I do, and all he wants is for Barry to know that he's a mother-killer, gritting his teeth for hating him, and still having to send him back to the future, which makes him orgasm.
Planning to go home safely? Even if he convinced himself to accept it for a while, the darkness and hatred in his heart would still drive him to involuntarily destroy the plan. β
"I had long thought that Swan was not such a stable person, but I didn't expect him to stop even for such a moment."
Chen Tao narrowed his eyes: "Reverse Lightning is an extremely fast person, I don't know what he did behind my back, there is nothing more dangerous than this."
Swan deliberately exposed Gorilla Grove, the Turtle Man, and the mastermind behind them to our sight, presumably to disguise his deeper purpose. I had to give my plan another layer of insurance. β
"Ah, I think ......"
Chen Tao no longer paid attention to the killer crocodile, from the other party's point of view, his inference seemed to be completely suspicious and neurotic conjecture, but only Chen Tao knew that this was by no means groundless.
Reverse Lightning's hand seems to be very confusing, and if he hadn't read the manga, he might have been distracted at the moment, and he was in a hurry to make a plan to deal with gorillas and turtles.
But it's a pity that he has seen it, this is a mistake that Reverse Lightning did not expect, and it will naturally lead to a completely different result, he knows too well who Reverse Lightning is. Human behavior is driven by their character, and they cannot disobey their instincts.
"We're here."
Chen Tao glanced at the instrument, and then steered the plane to land on the red desert.
He and Killer Crocodile jumped out of the driver's seat, and Killer Crocodile opened the door.
"Where is this?"
He asked.
"Midtown Hospital."
Chen Tao replied to him: "Another soul figure in the Rogue Gang, the sister of Captain Cold, the girlfriend of the Mirror Master, the Golden Glider, Lisa Snart." β
Chen Tao said: "Her physical body is here to recuperate. β
"Flesh?"
Chen Tao didn't explain to the killer crocodile, but continued: "No matter what conspiracy Reverse Lightning has, what do you want to do to Flash......"
He and Killer Crocodile stepped out of the portal and stood at the door of Midtown Hospital.
"As the number one fan of The Flash, how can you not come to the rescue of their little red? Of course, I also have the chips that the rogue gang wants, you know......"
Chen Tao said.
"Captain Cold also has to eat. And the Golden Glider apparently wants to. β
He said meaningfully.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Let's turn the clock back to not long after Reverse Lightning and Chen Tao first met, at this time, the Flash, Chen Tao and the killer crocodile were in the Void Bar, looking for the whereabouts of the weather wizard from the mouth of the magician.
And the reverse lightning is alone, ......
Run.
I'm Albert Swan, Reverse Lightning.
No one knows the Flash better than I do.
No one knows exactly how hard I put into becoming the Flash.
Ever since I traveled back in time and was shocked to discover in a 21st-century museum that the Flash's enemy in history [Reverse Lightning] was me, I have never given up trying to replace him.
How I wished The Flash was gone.
I traveled back in time to the night when Barry Allen became the Flash, trying to get in front of him, and instead of being struck by the lightning that gave him speed.
I failed.
When I tried to replace the Flash, I was almost excluded from objective existence.
The lightning bolt passed through me as if I were just a phantom, an insignificant obstacle that was mocking me, mocking my powerlessness.
I finally discovered a paradox.
I became the first element of the reverse lightning: there had to be Barry first, and he had to be the Flash...... Then I will become the reverse lightning!
The person I hate the most!
Someone I'm willing to pay anything to kill!
β¦β¦ Must live, or I will die.
I'm going crazy.
I'm going to get revenge on the Flash, I'm going to make him miserable.
Research tells us that childhood is an important moment in determining one's personality, but it is also the most vulnerable moment. Many personality traits mature during adolescence and affect a person's entire life.
I'm going to ruin the Flash's life, and that's what I did.
I once erased Barry Allen's best friend "Dodge" on the timeline.
It's great, Barry exists, I still exist, but Barry Allen's childhood was alone, and I ruined his childhood, and it was painful for him.
This feeling makes me addicted.
So I murdered Barry's mother, just like the history in the museum. Anyway, it's the same as Dougie, it doesn't affect Barry to become the Flash, I just want to make him miserable.
I was wrong, very wrong.
I just wiped out the Flash, which also caused me to almost wipe myself out.
First, my already imperfect connection to the Speed Force was on the verge of crumbling, and I found myself trapped in this primitive age.
Then, as the future solidified like cement, I once again felt a sense of near-death that was about to be erased from the objective facts.
It scares me.
And then what? Hahahaha! When the thought of "I have to train Barry and train him to be the Flash" came to my mind, the feeling of being erased stopped, and the timeline stabilized again.
How ironic.
God knows how many times I've looked at Barry and wanted to stick a knife in his heart! But countless times I've tried to do it, the feeling of being erased reminds me:
Once you actually do it, you will die too!
How ironic, how ironic!!
I gave up in the most painful way, I couldn't change anything in the end, I could never replace him, I could only be forced to create him with my own hands.
I can only pinch my nose once more, be a part of the Flash saga, and then go back to the future where the Flash still exists.
I had to do it. Or else? Is it possible to continue to live in this primitive age? Every day I live here, every day I see the Flash being loved by everyone, is a great torture for me.
I almost resigned myself to my fate.
Almost.
I thought so before Batman approached me.
Albert Swann held his head and slowly squatted on the ground.
Countless new memories continue to gush out in his mind, and the future, present, and past are undergoing unprecedented drastic changes.
He saw the Flash wailing, his speed and stillness in the air.
He saw "Albert Swan" in the uniform of the Flash, standing in front of a tombstone with the inscription:
Dedicated to the eternal Flash, who died in battle to protect the world at the hands of Darkseid. He lives up to the name of The Flash, he is a true hero, and his name is immortal.
He saw a newspaper that said: Two weeks after the Flash died on the spot in front of the whole world, a new Flash appeared in ...... Is he still the same Flash he used to be? Batman claims......
He saw his 25th-century self looking at the statue of Batman with reverence on his face......
An idea popped into Reverse Lightning's mind, and he knew that this kind of behavior would definitely lead to the death of the Flash, but do you know what the fun is?
"Hahaha, hahaha......" Reverse Lightning's eyes widened, the bruises on his face burst out, countless bloodshots almost burst his eyes, and violent ecstasy washed over his heart like a rushing tsunami.
Because he was ecstatic to find that the moment he came up with the idea and decided to put him into practice, he did not feel the familiar "imminent erasure feeling".
And that means......
Barry Allen is certain to die!!
Reverse Lightning laughed in a low maniac:
And I, Albert Swan, will continue his legend in the clothes of the Flash!!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
And then...... Let's turn the clock back to the present.
Reverse Lightning avoided Batman and Killer Crocodile and walked to a secluded place.
He opened the comms.
A man with half of his body mechanical appeared on the other end of the communication, his chest painted with the El family's exclusive S logo, this logo is so authentic, the S offset angle is so correct, even Superman will feel no different from the clothes he wears.
Only...... It's like a real member of the El family painting for him.
He is the superman of the machine, Hank Henshaw.
After the destruction of the spaceship, a cosmic ray permanently changed him, turning it into some kind of immortal mechanical life.
Darkseid of Apocalypse discovered him and gave him a body, making him a minion of Apocalypse.
"I've done as you say."
The voice of the mechanical superman is as serene as a real machine.
"I betrayed both the Turtle Man and Grud to you, remember your promise, kill the Flash, reverse the Lightning."
"Otherwise, you know the consequences," he said. β
"Of course, Your Excellency." Reverse Lightning said: "But is it really normal for you to directly expose yourself to Batman's field of vision?" β
He said: "I would have thought that you would pretend to be Batman's friend and then fight back against Gore at a critical time, rather than directly telling Batman that you are not a good person. β
Reverse Lightning touched his chin, the other party's behavior was very weird, as if he was hiding something.
"It's none of your business."
Reverse Lightning blinked. It's really not about him, he just needs to make sure the Flash ......
So he simply gave up discussing the issue.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, Batman trusts me and everything is under control."
He said, "The Rogue Gang's civil war will be a prelude to the Flash's death!" β
It's not the time.
Reverse Lightning thought silently in his heart.
"Stupid guys."
