Chapter 220: The Power of Darkness Engulfs Everything
At this moment, the steel bones who were originally extremely excited after seeing that the divine speed force energy was really able to hit that dark energy suddenly lost their voices and exclaimed.
Because, the energy of the Divine Speed Force did not dispel the strange darkness as they expected.
On the contrary, the moment the Divine Speed Force Energy Beam hit the dark energy, it seemed to give the dark energy enough nutrients and food, causing it to expand rapidly.
In just a moment, it swelled from a point that could only cover a small half of the earth, to a point where it was enough to cover the entire earth.
In an instant, the entire earth was enveloped in that dark energy, and sunlight was blocked.
The world, which was originally normal, was completely plunged into absolute darkness at this moment.
It was as if the whole world had completely fallen at this moment.
"No, what the hell is going on? Why didn't our plan do anything, but instead fuel the growth of dark energy? ”
At this moment, everyone was in disbelief at the moment.
They couldn't understand why the plan they had devised showed no signs of success, and even made the whole situation worse.
The power of darkness seemed to have been greatly amplified, and it had expanded dozens of times in an instant.
Even, it is still spreading outward at a rapid speed, as if it is devouring an entire earth, which is not its real purpose.
Its plan is to devour the Earth and the entire universe beyond.
"Damn, we have to stop it!"
Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
But they soon came to their senses and knew that they could not continue like this, otherwise they would not only not be able to save their earth, but even the entire universe would fall for it.
However, even their hearts were intent on stopping the expansion of the dark energy.
But things are not as simple as they imagined.
Previously, in order to prevent this dark energy from devouring the earth, they did not hesitate to kidnap the Flash of another universe, create powerful speed force energy through the cosmic treadmill, and activate the speed force cannon.
At this moment, however, there was no doubt that their plan had failed.
The speed force energy could indeed cross the dimensional space, so that they could not attack that dark energy before.
But that's all there is to it.
Not only could the Divine Speed Force energy dispel that darkness, but it even seemed to have turned into nutrients for that dark energy, helping it grow stronger.
……
"Needless struggles, ignorant plans, will only lead to greater destruction in the end!"
At this time, in the void that they could not perceive, a blue figure, staring at the growing darkness, devouring the entire earth, continued to spread outward, as if it was about to devour the entire universe.
Everything has not developed beyond his original expectations.
The course of the universe is not rewritten by individual efforts.
This universe is destined to be unsaved, and the universe has fallen in endless darkness and has become a certainty.
And the plan of those people will not only not stop the invasion of darkness, but will only increase the growth of darkness.
"The speed force, an important force at the origin of the universe, transcends the dimensions of time and space, connects countless single cosmic realities between the entire multiverse, and is the most mysterious and powerful all-powerful force in the universe......"
"Now, however, it has become the greatest accomplice in the universe being swallowed by darkness!"
The blue figure looked at the strange darkness that was constantly devouring the energy of the divine speed force and growing rapidly, and knew in his heart the reason why it could grow extremely quickly.
Just as the essence of that strange dark energy actually transcends the spatial dimension of the universe, it is completely unaffected by the vast majority of forces between the universes.
This is the real reason why it is able to ignore all attacks and cannot be dispelled.
However, the speed force is also an energy that can transcend the cosmic dimension, so it is able to come into contact with that strange dark energy.
But it's a pity that the level of dark energy is not weaker than the speed force, and it also has the characteristic of devouring everything.
Therefore, the result is that it is like this, after devouring a large amount of divine speed power, the power of darkness continues to grow.
And more importantly, this also leads to the fact that the dark power can draw more powerful power from countless cosmic dimensions to strengthen itself like a god speed.
And this will also lead to an extremely terrifying result, that is, the speed at which this dark energy devours the universe will be infinitely accelerated.
"Perhaps, the scenario of the complete destruction of the multiverse that I have seen will be truly staged in the near future."
The figure with a blue fluorescent body is the Manhattan Doctor who is infinitely close to the existence of the gods.
He himself is not a person of this universe.
Rather, it comes from a universe that has fallen.
In that universe, there are no heroes like Superman, and there is no famous Justice League.
However, in that universe, there are also watchmen who guard justice and villains who disrupt the world order.
And Dr. Manhattan is the most powerful existence among them.
He was born out of an accident.
His physical body was accidentally destroyed by an experiment, but fortunately, his consciousness and mind survived and entered another realm, one almost godlike.
He gained the power of a god.
Able to manipulate everything in the material world at will, he reshaped his body in the material world.
After that, he discovers that his abilities are infinitely close to that of a god, and he is able to manipulate everything and even predict the future.
He found that the universe he was in was going to be destroyed.
And he himself has paid the price of becoming a god and possessing great power, and he has constantly lost the emotions that he has as a human being.
In the end, he was even able to watch his universe go to ruin with a blank face.
And he himself, however, left the universe of destruction and went to a wider realm.
Wander through the endless multiverse and witness the history of countless universes, from weakness to prosperity and from prosperity to destruction.
The history of the universe is like a dull movie for him.
I can't set off the mood swings in his heart at all.
Until, he felt a hidden dark force that merged into this ordinary universe.
It aroused a trace of interest in his heart.
Thus coming to this universe and feeling the purpose of that dark energy.
Unexpectedly, when he entered this universe, he predicted that this universe was destined to be destroyed and engulfed in darkness.
Even the endless universe other than this universe will also be swallowed up by that strange darkness!
……
Just as Dr. Manhattan watched with a calm face as darkness engulfed the reality of the universe.
Steelbone and the others have done their best to stop the dark power that is constantly expanding outward.
For this reason, they even ignored the rules set by the Justice League before and used the sealed Apocalypse Star Mother Box.
Mobilize the almost inexhaustible energy in the Apocalypse Star Mother Box, wanting to stop the darkness from expanding outward.
However, they were doomed.
Even after devouring the Divine Speed Force, the dark energy, which has the same characteristics as the Divine Speed Force, has been able to access the reality of this cosmic dimension.
Completely devouring the entire mother box, gaining even greater power, making the spread of darkness faster again in an instant.
In less than a few seconds, the watchtower space station in space was engulfed in the eyes that shocked everyone, but was full of unwillingness.
Everything in the entire space station was almost instantly swallowed by the dark energy.
Even if Steel Bone and the others still did not stop resisting before they died, they still couldn't stop the general trend of being swallowed by darkness after all.
Completely engulfed by that extreme darkness in an instant.
"Everything has been doomed after all, and the general trend is irreversible......"
Looking at the Watchtower Space Station, which represents humanity's last hope, also engulfed in darkness, Dr. Manhattan has foreseen the final result of the complete fall of this universe.
"Huh? Anyone survived the darkness? ”
However, just as Dr. Manhattan prepares to leave this universe destined to be engulfed in darkness.
But I suddenly felt that in the reality of being engulfed in endless darkness, there seemed to be a person who survived.
This couldn't help but make him, who had always been expressionless, show curiosity on his face for the first time.
The next moment, his whole person instantly dissipated, turning into a blue starlight.
Immediately, the starlight sank into the endless darkness, heading towards the surviving breath.
"Huh? It turned out to be him......"
As Dr. Manhattan plunged deep into the endless dark energy, he finally saw the one who had survived the endless darkness.
And the survivor is the Flash who had a relationship with Dr. Manhattan before, from another universe, trying to modify the timeline.
"It's a pity that he still can't escape the fate of being engulfed by darkness after all, and the speed force can only protect him for a while, but it can't let him escape being swallowed by the darkness."
But soon, after seeing the situation that the Flash is facing now, Dr. Manhattan can only sigh with regret that he will not be able to escape the fate of being swallowed by darkness after all.
At this moment, he was only able to barely maintain his vitality because the dark energy was contaminated with the characteristics of the divine speed force, and he was not swallowed by this strange darkness in an instant like other cosmic realities.
However, the power of darkness has penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and he will not escape the fate of being consumed by darkness.
Now, perhaps, it's just a matter of catching by.
"Is that you? I feel your breath! ”
At this time, the Flash is trying his best to prevent the endless darkness around him from engulfing his body.
But the fainter and fainter lightning of divine speed above his body made him know in his heart that he couldn't hold on for long.
The dark power has even penetrated deep into his speed power, competing with him for control of the speed force.
And this also caused him to be unable to use the speed force to teleport the universe and escape the fate of being engulfed by dark energy.
Until, before his whole being was about to be completely plunged into darkness.
He suddenly felt an aura that felt familiar to him in the midst of the endless darkness.
Life is coming to an end, but Barry doesn't regret his decision.
He had worked hard to save this universe, and the endless multiverse.
It's just that he failed, and the price was more serious, his own life.
He just regretted that his power was too weak to stop this dark force from engulfing the entire multiverse.
And this familiar breath made him feel a sense of hope.
Suddenly, with Barry's words, a blue starlight condensed in front of Barry, who was struggling to resist the invasion.
A dazzling blue light dispelled the darkness around him, condensing into a figure that felt familiar to him.
"That's right, we meet again, but your situation at the moment doesn't look optimistic."
Dr. Manhattan, who regrouped his body, looked at Barry, who was not in a very good situation, calmly and said slowly.
"Yes, my situation is not optimistic, and maybe in the near future, I will be completely swallowed up by this darkness like everyone else!"
In the face of his imminent death, Barry seems to be at ease.
"Is it really worth it for you to do this? After all, you've had a chance to leave this universe ......"
Dr. Manhattan looked at Barry, his emotionless eyes fixed on him for a long time, and finally spoke with some curiosity.
After all, he has informed about the crisis facing this universe and the upcoming future.
If the other party can follow his advice, even if he leaves this universe, he may be able to live for a while longer.
It will not be because of his intervention that it will cause such a worse result now.
"Of course it's worth it!"
Barry nodded affirmatively.
"At least, when I faced the crisis, I tried, not chose to back down!"
"On the contrary, you, knowing that all this is going to happen, are like people outside the world, and you are standing by and watching what is about to happen......"
Barry saw Dr. Manhattan, who possessed immense power in his own right.
He was able to know what was going to happen in the future, and at this moment he showed the power to not be afraid of this dark engulfing force.
But he didn't intervene to save the universe threatened by darkness.
Instead, they choose to stand idly by and watch all the dangers that are about to occur.
"Unfortunately, I chose to sit on the sidelines because I know that what you do doesn't mean anything!"
"Just like me used to be, the same universe that is trying to save me......"
The expression on Dr. Manhattan's face finally fluctuated, as if he was caught in some kind of bad memory.
"And I don't really fight against this dark force......"
Dr. Manhattan knew that he was as powerful as a god, but he still couldn't expel this powerful dark force.
This dark force has surpassed him, and it is an existence that he cannot defeat.
"Perhaps, but if you don't work hard, how can you be sure that you really can't defeat evil?"
Barry didn't mean to blame Dr. Manhattan, he just sighed a little.
"I have a request, I don't know if you can ......"
After a long time, the erosion of Barry by the endless darkness has become more and more serious, and dark lines have begun to appear on the surface of his body.
It was like countless bulging black blood vessels, all over his body, and his face also looked extremely hideous at this moment, as if the next moment, he would completely fall into darkness.
Finally, he spoke to Dr. Manhattan, as if he had a request.
Dr. Manhattan hesitated, but finally nodded, motioning for him to make his request.
"I hope that when you travel to other universes, you can inform them of this crisis that is enough to destroy the multiverse, so that they can be prepared and find a way to fight the darkness!"
Barry is an admirable hero, and even when he is about to die, he still does not forget this crisis that can destroy the universe.
At this moment, a spatial door suddenly slowly appeared around them.
