Chapter 731 Finally Gained Fat

"I?"

Barry pointed at himself with a face full of surprise, and everyone in the laboratory also focused their attention on him.

"How can I help?"

"I need your speed."

Ethan's words made everyone confused, so he had to explain to everyone what the Speed ​​Force was.

In fact, Ethan doesn't know much about the Speed ​​Force, but the group of people in front of him have never even heard of the Speed ​​Force. It was the first time I heard about it from Ethan today, and Barry finally knew about it. It turned out that he was able to run so fast because of the speed force.

"Not dark matter?"

Everyone, including Barry himself at this time (except the reverse lightning disguised as Harrison Wells), always thought that his special ability was caused by the dark matter released by the explosion of the particle accelerator, but Ethan told him today that the actual It turns out that the source of his power is something called Speed ​​Force, which is completely different from his original guess.

"So... you want this power called the Speed ​​Force?"

"Yes."

Following Ethan's explanation, everyone finally knew Ethan's purpose, which was to obtain this power called Speed ​​Force from Barry.

"How to do it?"

"At present, we can only wait for you to run faster and faster."

"Make me run faster and faster?"

Barry's running movements and strides hardly changed, and his running posture didn't change much, but his speed has been increasing, which is the effect of super speed force.

The closeness of the connection between Barry and the Speed ​​Force, or how much Barry himself "created" the Speed ​​Force directly affects Barry's speed. Conversely, it means that the faster Barry is, the more Speed ​​Force he has. many.

If Ethan wants the Speed ​​Force, he needs a Barry who is fast enough.

"So... run hard, Barry."

It sounded like he was encouraging himself, but Barry always had a weird feeling that he was like a raised livestock that would be slaughtered when it was fat enough.

"You want to get the power called Speed ​​Force, but you don't want to kill me in the end, and then take this power?"

"Huh?" Ethan waved his hand: "No need, the Speed ​​Force can be easily extracted."

Not to mention the existence of Ethan, who has a strong control over energy, even Caitlin and Sisko beside him can extract the speed force from Barry's body through technological means.

"And you don't have to worry, it won't cause any harm or even burden to yourself."

Ethan clarified his purpose and repeatedly emphasized that he would not cause any harm to Barry, and Joe West heaved a sigh of relief.

Of course, it was impossible for him to completely let go of his guard against Ethan and the others, even if Ethan promised repeatedly that he would not believe whatever Ethan said.

In the days that followed, The Flash was still dealing with the transformed criminals in Midtown. Ethan also went to the cutting-edge laboratory to stay from time to time, and would give his own suggestions from time to time. As a result, he found that Barry Allen More headaches than Green Arrow Oliver Queen.

Even if he was deflated again and again, he always ignored Ethan's suggestions, so after saying it a few times, Ethan gradually stopped giving his own suggestions.

He quietly waited for the speed force in Barry's body to reach a certain level, and then extracted the weight he needed from it, and then completed his plan.

During this period of time, Ethan didn't do anything. When he came into contact with Reverse Lightning last time, he 'got' a little bit of Speed ​​Force from Reverse Lightning.

Ethan has specifically studied this small part of the Speed ​​Force, and even conducted some tests with these Speed ​​Forces, and finally came to the conclusion that he only needs to extract a small part of the Speed ​​Force energy from Barry to meet his own needs.

That's a good thing, because it means he doesn't need to touch the Speed ​​Force itself, just Barry Allen.

Compared with Speed ​​Force, which seems to have self-awareness, Barry is undoubtedly much easier to talk to—especially Barry is still a good guy, and under the condition of not hurting others, he will generally not refuse to help when someone asks him .

At this time, Barry met the suspected murderer who killed his mother, and Barry was no match for this person at all.

Whether it's speed or combat experience, Barry, who was at a disadvantage in all aspects, was simply beaten by the opponent at will.

Frustrated, Barry found Ethan when he couldn't think of a way.

"You want me to help you figure out a way to deal with that man?"

Ethan often stayed in the cutting-edge laboratory during this time, he was like a member of the cutting-edge laboratory, and everyone was used to his presence.

Although Ethan is not a scientist, most of the suggestions he made were not adopted when the Flash dealt with all kinds of human-transforming criminals (in fact, none of them were adopted, because in Ethan's view, it is still too much to try to catch those guys. It's better to kill him directly, so his suggestion is: Barry, use a knife!).

In addition, Barry and Ethan will also practice duels in their spare time, and the scene is hard to watch.

Barry, who thought he had super speed and was absolutely impossible to lose, was taught by Ethan to be a man again and again. Ethan seemed to always know what he was going to do in the next second. Fireballs or other magical energies are released in his 'path'.

Even if he could dodge with his powerful reaction and super speed, he would be hit by the indiscriminate attack spell released by Ethan in the next second, and then he would be beaten violently by Ethan who had mastered the initiative.

When the two practiced, they were often visited by people, and they didn't shy away from everyone, so Dr. Harrison Wells also saw how Ethan dealt with the Flash.

Compared with the immature Barry Allen, Harrison discovered more details: Ethan's reaction speed can easily keep up with Barry's speed, even if he doesn't use that kind of large-scale attack magic, Barry only relies on punches Don't even try to please - I have personally experienced the reverse lightning of Ethan's power, and I have enough right to speak about it.

This also means that Ethan's strength is much stronger than he expected before, which makes Reverse Lightning even more afraid to act rashly.

Ethan, who accidentally shocked Reverse Lightning, lived a more comfortable life. At the same time, his relationship with Sisko, Caitlin and others is getting better and better. At least these two now regard him as a good person. I'm a friend, and I often make jokes or something on weekdays.

The relationship with Barry is not as awkward as before, so Barry will ask Ethan for help when he is in trouble.

"Yes, I don't know how to defeat him."

"You said he was faster than you, so you don't know what to do?"

"That's right."

Ethan pondered for a while, and seemed to be thinking about how to deal with it. Sisko and Caitlin next to him looked at Ethan expectantly, wanting to know what kind of solution Ethan would give, or What kind of training plan will you design for Barry?

As a result, the answer Ethan gave almost made the two of them vomit blood.

"It's very simple, as long as you change faster."

"..."

How embarrassing was the expression on Barry's face? He felt that Ethan might not have understood the point. If he could be faster, would he still need to ask Ethan for help? He just felt that he couldn't get faster, so he wanted to find a way in other ways.

But Ethan didn't wait for him to speak, and directly denied his guess.

"Barry...you are a good man, you have a noble character, you have done a lot for this city...but you are not a qualified fighter."

In Ethan's eyes, Barry doesn't even talk about being good, he doesn't even qualify, his combat awareness is almost non-existent, and the rules he set for himself make it impossible to use many effective combat methods-in a strict sense , The Flash is a good citizen who has super powers, abides by laws and regulations, and often does good things. There is no essential difference between ordinary people who help the elderly to cross the road every day.

Such a Barry, even if Ethan made a training plan for him, the final effect would not be very good, and it might even drive Ethan to death.

Since Barry will definitely not do it the way he taught, it is better to let him continue to stride on the road he is 'good at'.

"Even if I teach you all the fighting skills, how much can you use in battle?"

Barry opened his mouth, and suddenly understood the meaning of Ethan's words. Obviously, the fighting skills taught by Ethan will cause harm to the enemy, which is not what Barry wants to do. Even in the face of criminals, he does not want to hurt the opponent, let alone kill the opponent.

"So there is actually only one choice before you."

"I see."

Barry finally realized that he had no choice at all. The only way he wanted to defeat another mysterious speedster was to make himself faster than him.

"Thank you for your advice."

"I didn't tell you anything."

"No, you made me realize what's best for me."

Barry expressed his gratitude very sincerely, and then began to think about how to further improve his speed.

I don't know if it's because of Ethan's words that Barry has strengthened his belief, his speed has indeed improved again, and at this time, Ethan is also ready to start extracting the speed force from Barry.

After Ethan expressed this idea, almost everyone gathered in the cutting-edge laboratory, including Tony who had wandered around for a while, and came back specially to witness this moment.

"I thought you went back early by yourself."

"How is it possible, I have already missed the time when you became smaller, and I don't want to miss the scene when you grow up again."

The conversation between the two was completely incomprehensible to the people around, but no one asked about it at this time. It seemed that Joe West cared more about whether Barry really couldn't be hurt.

"Don't worry, absolutely not!"
