Chapter 528: Cycle of Fate
It's black lightning.
At this moment, Shen You and Barry, who had experienced a similar battle firsthand, recognized it.
It's black lightning, the power of the god of death with speed power. I don't know how, the reverse lightning channeled that power to himself, so that he gained the characteristics of the god of death.
It's not impossible. Although the Shinkai in the original book said that the Grim Reaper is impossible to tame, in fact Barry in the comics did it. He used his will to control the black lightning attached to him, and briefly became the god of death, obtaining the god position of the god of death.
"So many years of research, so many years of hard work."
Reverse Lightning's voice also changed at this time, and his voice seemed to become hoarse and heavy under the influence of the surging black air, and it sounded like there were many echoes.
"I finally caught up with the Grim Reaper and managed to control the force. Now, I am the speed force, I am death! I'm the fastest thing since time existed, and you guys dare anything against me!? ”
"I see, that's your hole card." Shen You muttered.
It is only revealed at this step, and this trick must not be without a price, of course, and it is also a matter of course. No one can control death and then retreat with their whole body, and it is inevitable that they will be attacked by the power of death with a human body, even if it is a big player like Reverse Lightning.
And making this choice means that the reverse lightning has no cards to play.
This is his last resort, his last counterattack.
"You seemed to think that your loss of control was the power of death, and you were very wrong. You don't know anything about death."
The reverse lightning suddenly flew forward, and the five fingers were wrapped around with dead breath and pressed straight towards them.
Feel it with your body!"
It seems to be faster than before, and it clearly has the power of death in its hands. Shen You didn't have time to analyze that power for the time being, and he couldn't be sure what would happen if he made direct contact, so he still dodged and avoided it for the time being.
However, the reverse lightning only made a false move, forcing his evasive action to immediately withdraw and turn sharply, turning into a dark red lightning flash and rushing straight into the vortex of electricity.
"He's leaving again!" Barry Road.
"That's not going to work."
At the same time as Shen You spoke, they had already chased after them, and with a golden lightning vortex, they also rushed into the speed of time and space again.
In the end, it is still necessary to decide the winner with the confrontation at the level of the law of divine speed. As long as one of the parties can suppress the speed of the opponent through the energy created by galloping, the speed can achieve a suppressive position, and then the victory or defeat is self-evident.
They staggered across the continent, changing their backgrounds countless times every second. The place where the reverse lightning passes is like a transit of death, and the plant withers when life fails. But the white light and shadow chased after it, and life bloomed, and the corroded earth was revived in an instant.
Death and life, chasing on the earth.
The world was no longer wide in the eyes of these two beings, and the sonic boom followed them all the way to Nagasaki. In the blink of an eye, they broke through the barrier of time together, and no one even took a breath during that time. The two sides continued to sprint tacitly one after the other.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, the twenty-first century has been left behind.
"Soon, Barry, it's amazing. You've finally caught up. Albeit with the help of a little alien, right? But I guess we're on equal terms now. ”
Running ahead against the lightning, the voice came with a surging speed of energy, as if echoing in their ears.
"You've got your alien god to help, and I've got a Grim Reaper."
In a way, it's not wrong. Barry is now Shen You's human body, and the state of the reverse lightning is also similar to the human body of Black Lightning.
It's just that the steering wheel is in the hands of Reverse Lightning.
"Instead of talking nonsense, let's recognize the reality." Barry yells, "Your plot is bankrupt!" ”
"The second step plan? Perhaps. But the first step? Barry is done. Reverse Lightning laughed, "I've already succeeded, and I've become an inseparable part of your storied history. ”
Barry was stunned: "What are you talking about?" ”
"I'm talking about you, Barry." Reverse Lightning said coldly, "Do you remember when you broke your arm in sixth grade? You run down the stairs with your textbook in your hand and feel someone pushing you from behind.
You tumble and fall, breaking your arm. But when I turned my head, there was not a shadow behind me.
You tell everyone, but no one believes it. Everybody just thinks you've fallen."
Barry's pupils shrank, and his face suddenly became ugly.
"And the fire that burned down your first house? Impressive, huh? In the end, no one was able to find out the cause of the fire.
Or maybe it's a little Ke, do you remember it? The first dog you've ever had? You took it with you the day you moved, and you didn't close the back door that day. As a result, Xiao Ke ran out, and a car happened to run it to death? ”
"You mean."
"Yes Barry, haven't you ever suspected it once," Reverse Lightning sneered, "all of this is the work of one person?"
Maybe it's an enemy from the future that you didn't know at the time? ”
"Are you you?" Barry's heart shook.
"Yes, Barry. It was I who opened the back door, and Xiao Ke ran out because he smelled me. It wants to protect you. Reverse Lightning generously admitted, "And that house too, I set the fire."
There wasn't even a concept of speedsters in those days, right? No one could see me, and naturally it was impossible to discover the cause of the fire.
Of course, it was I who pushed you down the stairs. ”
"If you did it, if you did it all, if it's all you, then that's it."
Barry began to feel frightened. For the first time in his life, he felt that the answer he had been seeking for a lifetime was close at hand, but he was a little afraid to touch it.
"That. Did you do that, too? ”
The corners of Reverse Lightning's mouth twitched, and a grim smile appeared on his face, which had begun to be corrupted by the breath of death.
"Yes, Barry. I was the one who killed your mother. ”
Barry was stunned.
He had imagined all kinds of possibilities and suspected murderers in all forms, but he never expected such a thing.
The murderer, the speedster from the future, dressed in his uniform with the mark of the opposite of him, is right in front of him, confessing the truth he has pursued all his life.
"I watched her struggle for breath. You could have watched your parents die, but that's no longer possible, never again. ”
Reverse Lightning laughed.
"This is the tallest masterpiece of my life, Barry. I didn't realize it until I was done, but by the time I was done, I was inadvertently part of the cycle.
If I hadn't done that, you wouldn't have been down the path you are down now, you wouldn't have stepped into the criminology department's labs, and you wouldn't have been behind that particular chemical shelf at that exact time."
Barry: "! ”
"So yes."
Reverse Lightning smiled even more, and said proudly.
"I created the Flash."
