Chapter 303: The Manifest Destiny, Long Awaited (Part 1) 5000 Words Long Chapter

My name is Barry Allen, and I am now participating in the biggest cosmic war in my superhero career.

I thought that in such a war, the main thing I would do is to fight against powerful enemies with my superhero friends, defeat the villains, be annihilated, or return victorious.

But now... I am just waiting and can't do anything.

"I have to help Diana and the others."

The Flash said to Killer Croc standing beside him:

"I can't just wait here, or I will help Batman."

"Batman's original words were to ask 'Diana and Hal and the others' to ignore the ceasefire agreement with Darkseid and subdue Steppenwolf first. Pay attention to his personnel arrangements, which did not require you to join the battle, but asked you to wait here."

Killer Croc said: "Although he didn't tell me what he wanted you to do, I believe he has a reason for keeping you here."

At this time, they appeared in another building built in the Red of All Living Things. Beside them, Gorilla Grodd and Turtle were tied up in two transparent ball cages as "batteries".

The Flash always felt that the two looked a little dull, as if their thinking reactions were a beat slower-

To be honest, did Batman really not inject them with any drugs to prevent them from having any weird moths?

He turned his eyes to another cage, where the translucent meditation mite lay half dead. Barry Allen thought that the psychological trauma was more serious for the magic worm than the physical injury.

It is worth noting that the outside of the cages of the three villains were connected to the cosmic treadmill not far away. The Flash understood that Batman could extend the time he turned into that "super transformation form" through the gorilla Grodd and the turtle. The intrinsic principle of this operation is to use the speed force and stasis force to slow down the time around the other party, while speeding up the speed of the person, so as to distribute the consumption to the two villains... At least that's what Batman said.

But meditation mites? What does all this have to do with him? How did he get connected to the treadmill?

Well, Batman never tells him anything.

Barry showed a depressed expression like the Flash. He turned his head and looked at the big crocodile with his arms folded.

"But I've been waiting for too long." Flash said, "I think we should contact each other and ask..."

But as soon as he said that, he met the lifelike Batman-like gaze of the big crocodile and was immediately defeated.

"Okay, okay, I know Batman has his own arrangements, but I'm just worried."

As he said this, he ran to the side at the fastest speed on earth, and then poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all.

Poison Ivy, who was waiting nearby, said, "Hey, you know when you drink tea, it looks to me like you're drinking human body parts?"

The Flash paused for a moment, and his first reaction was to apologize, "Ah, sorry, I didn't know..."

His reaction made Poison Ivy laugh out loud, "It's okay, just kidding. I'm long past the age of an extreme plant protectionist."

(Note: In the early comics, Poison Ivy completely regarded plants as humans, and seeing any plant products was like murder remains to her, but she was no longer so extreme in the later comics.)

She said, "I used to regard plants as..."

She was about to talk about her life experience in Gotham City for decades, and then her mental journey from villain to superhero, but she was interrupted by the violent wailing of Gorilla Grodd and Turtle.

She immediately looked at Killer Croc.

"Batman is using the transformation called Red Death." Poison Ivy whispered.

She summoned a vine and controlled the computer next to her: "And he said that he would soon give us orders through the remote communication of the Metal Spirit..."

Ziziziz...

Almost the next second after Poison Ivy turned the computer, the green Batman head composed of countless zeros and ones immediately appeared on the screen.

"Give him the thing I prepared...Ziziziz...Boom boom boom boom..."

The other party's voice seemed very distant and intermittent, and there were violent explosions from time to time.

Killer Croc immediately pressed on the wall, and then a thing made of all metal, like an octopus, was taken out of the wall by him.

The appearance of this thing is like a ring with seven or eight tentacles of metal tentacles growing outside.

"Flash, Barry Allen... sizzle sizzle... take this. It's the technology of Reverse Flash and Gorilla City, which can help you absorb the speed force of others."

Flash heard Batman's voice, and the voice of the communication gradually became clear: "I need you to do something dangerous."

Flash didn't say a word. He took the octopus-like machine from Killer Croc's hand, fixed the ring in the middle in front of the lightning logo on his Flash uniform, and the other metal tentacles were immediately sucked onto his body.

Although it was the first time he saw this machine, he quickly figured out how to wear it with the super speed of the Speed ​​Force.

There was a "+" on one side of the Octopus Machine, and that side was smaller than the other side, which meant that it should be facing outwards. The metal tentacles that automatically attached to his body also showed that he did not wear it wrong.

"What should I do?"

he asked.

"You put the prop on wrongly."

But then he heard Batman say, "Don't worry. Killer Croc, help him wear it correctly."

Killer Croc came over, pulled the Octopus Machine off Barry's body, and then turned it over and put it on him in the same way.

Barry looked down and saw that the "+" that was originally facing outwards had become a "-". It turned out that the narrow side of the ring was facing the human body instead of the wide side.

This design is a bit strange, making people look like they have a small trumpet on their chest.

But Barry didn't care about such details. He asked, "So do you need me to join the battle?"

"Yes."

Then he heard Batman talking, and saw Killer Croc come over and press the octopus machine twice. Soon, the machine turned into countless tiny metal particles with a metallic mechanical sound, and began to attach to his whole body, and finally changed color to look like the Flash uniform. It was equivalent to Barry wearing a uniform, but then he put on a layer of identical clothes outside...

It was exactly the same as the Flash uniform that Chen Tao gave to Reverse Flash before.

"Yes, Flash, Barry Allen."

Barry heard Batman's voice:

"Destiny has been waiting for you for a long time."

……

……

……

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

Blood was spilled in the sky.

The indestructible body of Superboy Prime was cut open, and he screamed at the top of his lungs.

Darkseid's previous continuous punches only made him bleed from the nose, and the previous attacks by the Black Runner only caused cracks in his extremely hard body.

But the Black Runner possessed by Reverse Flash really hurt him.

And Reverse Flash was not much better.

Unlike Superman-Prime who was only injured, the Reverse Flash in the state of Black Runner's possession had half of his body directly smashed into subatomic particles due to the high-speed impact, and the remaining half of his body was exposed. The situation was so tragic that it was comparable to Hughie's girlfriend who was smashed into pulp by a train in the next door "The Boys".

No matter who it was, such an injury would kill them all. Although the speedster has the ability to heal himself, he is not Marvel's Wolverine.

However, the Black Runner soon repaired his body and let him stand there as if nothing had happened.

"It's terrible..."

Reverse Flash looked down at his hands: "There is a voice... There is a voice telling me that they all have to die. They must die."

He staggered and lowered his head, covering his head: "Stop shouting!"

"Die die die die die die die die die..."

"Enough!"

Reverse Flash felt that his self-will was constantly being devoured by the Black Runner, the embodiment of death. At this moment, his heart was calm, as if nothing could arouse his interest.

This is wrong.

It's too wrong.

He can't become like this. If he continues like this, he will completely become a puppet of the Black Runner, no longer have self-awareness, and will simply become a tool to spread death.

He can never accept such an end!

"The things Batman gave me..."

He raised his palm with force. This simple action now weighs a thousand pounds on him.

But he finally did it. In the portable extra-dimensional space that was opened, a handful of green and shiny Lazarus Pond water was poured on his forehead, making him emit some black mist like steam like a tempered sword.

"Not enough, not enough... Leave me now!"

But Reverse Flash still couldn't stop his freedom from being swallowed up. He panicked and angrily grabbed the swamp monster tuber that Batman had prepared for him in advance and put it in his mouth to chew, but the next second even the panic and anger were fading.

"Calm down, calm down... Batman told me that I can fight against the control of the black runner with my will... He even gave me the green lantern ring."

Reverse Flash sat down cross-legged, and the green lantern ring emitted a dazzling green light on his palm, wrapping it up like a cocoon.

"I need to fight the Black Runner with my willpower... Batman said if the Flash can do it, then I can do it too..."

"I have to reawaken my emotions, those most intense emotions..."

Reverse Flash held his head, desperately recalling things that could arouse his emotions.

He first thought about his most famous discovery of the Speed ​​Force, the things he was most proud of, the milestones of his life.

"Speed ​​Equation, Tachyon, Reverse Speed ​​Force, Speed ​​9 Enhancement Potion."

It's useless.

"The Flash's pitiful eyes."

With a bang, a fierce anger attacked Reverse Flash's heart. Just thinking of such a scene made him jump up from the ground. With a deafening roar, Reverse Flash, who had angered himself, roared and tore his body apart. With the blessing of the Green Lantern Ring, he dispelled the power of the black runner with willpower alone.

The black shadow was forced to leave his body and disappeared into the void like a lost dog.

And Reverse Flash also lay on the ground like a faint, only feeling his legs weak, the whole person seemed to be hollowed out, and couldn't say a word.

At this time, the Flash uniform on his body also turned into countless metal particles and faded, falling to the ground like a metal living thing, first turning into a machine like an octopus, and then immediately turning back to the red uniform.

Without Reverse Flash's control, the Green Lantern Ring automatically opened the different-dimensional space, and the Flash uniform crawled in by itself and soon disappeared.

But Reverse Flash didn't care about these.

Although every bone in his body hurt as if it was hit by Superboy Prime, he was still full of joy in his heart, because the fact in front of him was just as Batman said, he was seriously injured.

In this physical condition, he was absolutely unable to participate in the next battle.

"Destiny... Destiny is waiting for me."

Reverse Flash turned over, panting, barely stood up from the ground, and moved little by little to leave the battlefield.

Now things are very clear.

Superboy Prime has been severely injured by him, and the alliance of Darkseid and Batman has won a great victory.

And this probably means that the battle between the two of them is about to begin.

Batman may not be able to defeat Darkseid, so he will definitely summon the entire Justice League to fight alongside him.

And he had taught Flash the trick of exiling the enemy to a parallel universe and then imprisoning him forever in advance.

Destiny is really the greatest director!

Reverse Flash suppressed his inner joy and ecstasy, limping away from the battlefield. He felt that his physical condition was a little better, so he began to run at a very slow speed for him, but even so, he was faster than the train.

He had to hide in a safe place and quietly wait for the outcome of the battle.

On the other side of the battlefield, the situation was similar to what Reverse Flash expected.

Prime Superboy was half-kneeling on the ground.

The black runner incarnated by Reverse Flash pierced through his body and tore his body apart like cardboard.

Regardless of the biological position that was majestic enough for anyone, it was shattered, and Prime Superboy completely lost the power to resist.

He gasped and made a hoarse sound as blood poured back into his lungs.

Darkseid got up from the ground and touched his cheek that had been beaten until now.

Batman stood beside him and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Be careful."

He heard Batman say, "Even the current Superboy-Prime is still dangerous enough."

Of course Darkseid knew, otherwise he would have just taken action.

Although Superboy-Prime looks painful and seriously injured, Darkseid can guarantee that if he really thinks so and then foolishly rushes up to try to kill him, he will die ugly.

Such an attack can only weaken the opponent. Superboy-Prime is injured and weakened...

But it does not mean that he has become stronger.

But at the same time...

Darkseid turned his head and tried desperately to hide the fiery color in his eyes.

Batman snapped his fingers.

Then, beside him, a sonic boom channel connecting the earth and Apokolips opened, and the Flash walked out of it.

Barry didn't say much nonsense, he knew very well that this was not the time to talk nonsense. He glanced at Darkseid, and then came to Batman's side as soon as possible to prepare to receive the task.

Chen Tao also began to use Batman's traditional skill of ordering Flash to do things.

"Run around Apokolips."

Flash heard Batman whisper to him: "Release your extreme speed."

"Why should I run around the entire planet?"

"Just an insurance, Barry. I need you to do this, help. Keep in touch at all times."

Flash nodded and disappeared with a swish.

"I just need Flash to help me charge and use his speed force to speed me up."

Darkseid heard Batman whisper to explain to him, but the perfunctory meaning in it was almost beyond words. The Lord of Apokolips could guess with his toes that Batman was talking nonsense.

But... it doesn't matter.

No matter what Batman is planning, it doesn't matter.

Darkseid's eyes burned with the flames of the Omega Effect, he shot out a curved ray, and Superboy-Prime resisted with heat vision.

"Superboy-Prime has become weaker."

He heard Batman say to him: "Next, I will open the transmission channel and work with you to paste him back to the origin wall. Superboy Prime will stay on the wall again, forever."

Superboy Prime's eyes lit up red, and he also heard the conversation between Batman and Darkseid.

Raging anger filled his heart. Although he was unable to move due to his injury, he still didn't want to say a word, and then his bowl-sized hot eyes sprayed directly at the two of them.

Boom!

As Darkseid used the Omega ray to take the opponent's attack again, a violent explosion occurred.

Bloody Bull, who had been circling outside Apokolips and waiting endlessly, also received the news from Batman at this time, and timely re-possessed Superboy Prime who had lost the power to resist, and took control of the opponent's body again.

"Ugh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Prime Superboy roared in pain, and visions reappeared in front of his eyes. He immediately ignored his injuries and furiously sprayed his heat vision and anger at the empty air next to him.

"Yes, yes, Prime Superboy will climb the wall forever."

Darkseid said.

He looked at Prime Superboy in the distance, spraying heat vision, and hitting the ground that had been cut into pieces again, and it began to rain rocks.

He turned his head to see the panicked expression on Batman's face.

"But don't you think... it's too wasteful?"

Huh...

Time seemed to stop suddenly.

Prime Superboy, who was still destroying in the distance, suddenly stopped his fists, and red flames of the Omega effect appeared in his eyes.

Darkseid put his hands behind his back, turned his head, flew into the air, and looked down at Batman who had just stood with him.

Prime Little Superman, who was completely controlled by the Omega Effect, flew to Darkseid's side.

"Do you think I was just fighting?"

Darkseid was stunned.

He heard Batman seem to be saying his own lines.

"Whatever tricks you have, Batman." He said, "They are as ridiculous as children's games."

"That's really scary."

Chen Tao said.

Darkseid didn't quite understand Batman's attitude at this time. Didn't he have any worries at all?

Then the golden portal opened, and Reverse Flash was pulled over again with a confused look on his face.
