Chapter 242 Two Barries

The guy next to Barry is himself in this timeline.

He is also Barry Allen, but because of his completely different past experiences and family environment, he and Barry with super speed are completely different people.

This guy is erratic, unreliable, and laughs all day long without any heart, just like those ordinary college students who mess around in college!

Barry couldn't even imagine that he would become like this!

Of course, these are not the key points.

The real key is that this Barry shouldn't be here at all!

How could there be two identical people in one world?

According to the normal time routine, shouldn't Barry return to the original future, see his still alive mother and his father who has returned from prison, and continue to live his original life?

Perhaps because of the change in time, Barry can't know what his past was in this timeline, but at least he successfully saved his parents, which is enough.

Memories with his family can continue to be created slowly in the future.

But... why did he see another self?

Barry couldn't figure out why this was happening, and what made him even more headache was that the other self in front of him didn't have super speed.

Speed ​​Force, Barry's superpower, a special ability that allows him to run and think quickly, is the capital for him to go back from the future to the past and change everything.

However, Barry here doesn't have it at all!

If he doesn't help in the future, he will never have speed force.

Because in the original timeline, Barry Allen helped in the laboratory.

On that rainy night, Barry Allen, who stayed in the laboratory, was struck by lightning, and then various unknown potions, together with lightning, hit him, so that he could gain speed force.

Barry in this world did not go to the laboratory to work, so naturally he could not gain superpowers at the critical moment.

If Barry Allen in this world did not gain speed force, then Barry Allen in the future would not be able to gain speed force.

Barry without speed force would not be able to go back to the past to save his mother.

Therefore, Barry must let himself in this world gain superpowers.

For this reason, he took himself in this world and broke into the laboratory late at night, trying to restore the scene of that day, so that himself in this world could gain the same ability as him.

As a result, the Flash Barry in this world did gain superpowers.

But it was also because the Flash Barry in the future world was struck by lightning and lost his superpowers.

This is undoubtedly bad news.

If Barry loses his superpowers in the future, he will be completely trapped in this unrecognizable timeline and will never be able to return to the original world.

And the worse news is yet to come!

Atlantis actually started a war against the land! At the same time, it launched a tsunami offensive against multiple cities!

It was also at that time that Barry discovered that Arthur in this world was not the superhero Aquaman, but the king of Atlantis, and he was going to declare war on the land!

Barry originally wanted to come to Metropolis to find Superman and let Superman solve this crisis.

As a result, when he came to Metropolis, he found that there was no Superman in this world.

Not only Superman, but also Wonder Woman and Cyborg, and except for them, Barry couldn't find anyone who could stop Aquaman Arthur.

But fortunately, there is no shortage of heroes in this world. Just when Barry was anxious, he learned through the TV broadcast that a guy known as the "Poseidon" saved everyone.

The world crisis is over, and Poseidon will negotiate with humans as the new king of Atlantis, and the negotiation time is today.

This seems to be a good ending.

But before Barry could breathe a sigh of relief, Zod appeared on the TV and almost made him suffer a cardiac arrest.

Although there is no Superman, no Wonder Woman, no Cyborg in this world, and even Aquaman has become a villain who destroys the world.

But those things that should happen will still happen without being affected by the earth's timeline.

For example, Zod invades!

"Only Superman can stop Zod, but... damn it!"

Leaving the bar with another hippie, Barry covered his head and didn't know what to do.

The original person who stopped Zod was Superman.

Although many people died and injured in the process, and many places in Metropolis became ruins, at least Superman successfully defeated Zod and prevented the earth from being transformed into Krypton.

But now, Superman does not exist in this world at all.

Who can he go to?

The 'Poseidon' who seems to be able to control the sea?

But what can controlling the sea do? Zod's spaceship is in the sky. Once they start the Genesis Engine, they can't destroy the alien technology with the ability to control the sea.

And Barry doesn't know how to find the "Poseidon"!

It's impossible to run to the sea and shout "I'm the Flash, I want to talk to the Poseidon", right?

That would only make people think he's crazy.

"By the way, Batman... maybe there's Batman...!"

At the last moment, Barry thought of the core of the Justice League, Batman Bruce Wayne.

Since Aquaman exists in this world, there is another self.

Then maybe Superman, Wonder Woman and others exist, but because of different experiences, they didn't become superheroes.

In this case, Batman may also exist.

It's just that he may not be Batman, he may be a playboy, or he may be a philanthropist.

But having a goal is better than having no goal.

No matter what kind of person Batman in this world is, as long as he can help Barry find the person he wants to find, he is a good person!

Thinking of this, Barry Allen immediately got up and went to Gotham City with another self.

He wanted to assemble the Justice League of this world before Zod destroyed the world!

...

"Are you sure Atlantis won't help?"

When Barry rushed to Batman's house, Batman Bruce Wayne, who had reorganized his image and returned to the arena, frowned and asked the person sitting opposite him.

The person sitting opposite Bruce was Kevin, who knew Zod was coming.

He brought Arthur and Mera to Bruce's house to discuss Zod's affairs.

Bruce originally thought that Kevin's Atlantis would help, but from Kevin, he heard a negative answer.

"There's no way to help. They're aliens. Their fighters are in the sky, and we're underwater. Unless they're willing to get close to the sea, most of the Atlanteans can't attack."

Kevin told Bruce the truth.

Atlanteans are good at water battles, not air battles.

And many Atlanteans can't breathe the air on land. Without the sea, they're no different from fish out of water. It won't be long before they suffocate to death.

The only ones who can appear on land are the nobles of Atlantis.

There are few who are willing to help humans, and there are even fewer who are willing to sacrifice their lives to help humans.

Kevin came out to help in his personal name, so he was let go by the Atlantis council elders. It's impossible to declare war on Zod in the name of Atlantis.

"But you said you'd help in the future..."

Bruce mentioned Kevin's promise when he invited him to come back.

Kevin spread his hands:

"Yeah, so I'm here, right?"

"Well, at least you brought two helpers."

Bruce sighed.

It seems that it is not possible to rely on the Atlanteans for help, but at least Kevin did keep his promise and came to help, which made Bruce feel relieved.

The news about Zod was still playing on TV, and Mera looked at it and asked:

"He just asked us to hand over his people, so it shouldn't develop into a war, right?"

Regardless of Zod's true purpose, at least his performance on TV now is not as aggressive as imagined.

Compared with Zod, the Atlanteans who launched a war on the land before should be more vigilant.

In Mera's view, as long as the earthlings hand over their people mentioned by Zod, perhaps the war can be avoided.

Kevin and Bruce seemed to be a little too vigilant.

After Mera finished speaking, the three men present did not speak.

Mera's idea is believed to be the common idea of ​​most people on Earth now.

Zod from Krypton did not launch a large-scale attack after entering the earth, but politely asked the earthlings to return their people.

From this point of view, they fit the image of "friendly" aliens in people's minds.

Many people even want to establish communication with them and obtain technology from them.

But Kevin knows who Zod is.

Batman never trusts anyone, let alone Zod from Krypton.

And Arthur... from the perspective of a tribe leader, he doesn't believe that Zod came all the way to Earth just to find someone, so he won't believe Zod.

Therefore, the opinions of the three men present at this moment are surprisingly consistent.

"Zod's purpose is not that simple."

Kevin said meaningfully.

Bruce nodded slightly, and looked at Kevin with a little surprise:

"You seem to know this alien? By the way, I heard you say that you have been to outer space..."

"Not the outer space here, I haven't dealt with Zod, but I do know him, but instead of me explaining it to you, it's better to let someone who knows him better explain it to you."

Kevin said something meaningless at the end.

Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly and subconsciously looked at the computer next to him.

After Kevin broke into the manor last time, Bruce also installed surveillance cameras outside the manor.

So he could see from the surveillance that two men were walking into Bruce's manor together.

One of them looked around, while the other seemed to be very familiar with the place and walked straight to the castle gate behind the manor.

Twins...?

Seeing the two people who looked exactly the same, Bruce suddenly remembered what Kevin mentioned when he came here before.

'If one day a pair of people who look like twins come to you for help, you can come to me. '

Kevin said something similar.

And now, the pair of 'twins' that Kevin mentioned really came to the door.

"They are...?"

"Like I said before, they come to you for help."

"So you knew Zod would come a long time ago, right?"

Bruce figured everything out in an instant.

Kevin knew that one day someone like twins would come to him for help, which proved that he might have seen the existence of this day a long time ago and knew that Zod would come to Earth.

Predict the future?

The first thing Bruce thought of was this superpower. If Kevin had the ability to predict the future, then it would be normal for him to know that this day would come.

But thinking about Kevin's performance, Bruce didn't think so.

If he really could predict the future, he wouldn't come to Bruce to find someone's information.

Bruce had two guesses.

The first one was that Kevin's ability to predict the future was limited, and the details were unclear, only a rough idea.

And the other guess...

"Although it's just my guess, it may not be correct, but I still want to ask..." Bruce squinted and looked at Kevin:

"Are you a time traveler?"

Just like in the movie "Back to the Future".
