Chapter 306 Goodbye, Reverse Flash!
Reverse Flash knew that Batman was manipulating his thoughts.
He's not stupid, okay. Batman's instigation was so obvious, how could a smart person like him not be able to tell it?
But...
"Oh my God, that's the Flash..."
"Associated Press reports... the battle situation on Apokolips, the Flash is now..."
"This is Perry White from the Daily Planet, the Flash seems to be..."
"Is the Flash the only one on the battlefield on Apokolips? We can't help but ask, where is Batman? Who is that guy with an s on his chest? How could he be with Darkseid..."
"Expert analysis believes that first we rule out that it was Superman who flew with Darkseid, and then we rule out that Batman defected to Darkseid..."
In the field of vision of Reverse Flash, countless news reports popped up one after another. This should be Batman deliberately broadcasting these news media images to his retina.
This is both a moral incentive and a threat to arrange enough back-up plans for him.
"S-Wan!"
Barry's voice came into his ears: "Wait, there must be other ways."
No, even if there is, it will lose its meaning forever.
Reverse Flash Swan knew that this was intentional by Batman. He deliberately let Barry Allen talk to him. He had already calculated Barry's hopeless saintly heart. Even in the face of a heinous person like him, Flash would still choose to sacrifice himself first.
Yes, Barry Allen is a fool, and Batman's subtext is also very obvious:
You...
Don't give up the opportunity to be a hero!
And coincidentally...
I, Reverse Flash Albert Swan——
That's what I mean!!!
Endless heavy burdens are continuously imposed on Reverse Flash by Batman through various channels.
The magic circles left on him, the hands and feet made by the metal spirit in his body, the connection imposed on him by the positive and negative speed force...
The burden shared by each channel even has a tendency to be saturated.
Yes, just like pulling a boat.
The 10,000-ton ship has set sail, wantonly violating the laws of nature in the turbulent river.
And the thickest rope named "Alberd Swan" was thrown high by the giant ship named Batman and gently placed on the shoulder of the boatman whose face could not be seen on the shore.
Creaky--
The giant ship is singing loudly, and the rope is humming.
Although the rope will eventually fall apart under the huge force of 10,000 tons, what does it matter?
At least at this moment, the huge warship has set sail, and the goal is...
Riding thousands of miles, sailing against the current!
"Barry Allen. I hate you, and I still hate you."
Far away on the other side of Apokolips, trapped in the barrier, Barry Allen, the Flash, heard the whisper of Reverse Flash, and the voice seemed to ring in his ears.
Although he said something like "I hate you", the tone of Reverse Flash was gentle and clear, and indescribably peaceful and harmonious.
And the Speed Force is probably the same, just like a mother who smiles at you after you return home.
"But I'm still sorry, I'm sorry for what I did. But I'm still your biggest opponent, I made you, and therefore I never need your forgiveness."
"But...but I just want to tell you."
"About everything I did. Those things I did...the reasons why I did them."
"They are certainly based on hatred, but there is another reason, a reason I never admit and never tell you."
"I did it because...that's the only time you will spend with me, so I can never stop."
(Note: This sentence is very perverted, outrageous and heavy, but it comes from the original text of the comic "Flash v5" said by Reverse Flash himself, and a picture will be posted here↓)
Reverse Flash cut off the communication. He didn't know what Barry would think after hearing what he said, and he didn't care.
As he said to Barry, he never thought he was a good person, and he never needed Barry's forgiveness.
He was bad to the end, even if it seemed to be sacrificed for this so-called righteous cause, but it was still completely out of the evil plan to seize Barry Allen's title of Flash in history.
He is a villain.
But the villain's evil plan succeeded... right?
Now the whole world will think he is a hero!
In front of the whole world, Reverse Flash tore off his mask.
He laughed crazily, knowing that at this moment, anyone in the world of 7 billion people who were watching the news would see his face.
He came from an era where the real names of the heroes of the entire Justice League had long been lost in the long river of history, but he still knew that at this moment, history had been changed.
Barry Allen!
You remember it!!!
You remember it!!!
10,000 years from now!!! When those people mention you, when those people mention your great achievements, when they mention your heroic deeds that will go down in history...
Before your name Flash, there will always be a description, a specific designation that you can never remove, a mark that I left for you that you can never get rid of-
The second generation Flash, Barry Allen!
And whenever they mention you, there will always be someone who mentions me, they will say that name, they will say my name.
And my name is-
"Albert Swan! The whole world! The whole world remembers me, I am Albert Swan!"
"I am the Flash!"
The Reverse Flash shouted loudly, the voice was deafening and shocking.
And as he roared, his body began to shine little by little, as bright as the first ray of morning light at dawn, and as bright as the brightest midnight with a bright moon and sparse stars.
Every speedster will have a destiny.
A secret that can be escaped but can never be avoided:
Every Speed Force user will eventually embrace the Speed Force.
The Speed Force is the source of power for the speedsters, but also their grave, their eternal resting place, and the home they will eventually return to.
And I...
It's time for me to go home.
I am Albert Swan.
I am about to disappear in the Speed Force.
So warm.
I will become a part of speed itself, and live forever in the Speed Force with countless predecessors in history who have danced with this golden lightning.
"Ah... ha."
Reverse Flash raised his head.
He no longer needed to run. He opened his arms and legs and let the golden Speed Force immerse his whole body, just like diving from the deck, submerging his entire body into the water and melting.
He never thought that the Speed Force would be so gentle, reminding him of the smiling face of the world he saw in his cradle.
I'm leaving.
I'm leaving, and the Speed Force is by my side.
I'm leaving.
Remember, I hate all of you. But it doesn't matter, we'll be fine.
I really have to go.
I.
Left.
Wish me good luck.
Boom!
"So, that's all the stories."
In a trance, Reverse Flash seemed to hear the sound of someone opening a book.
He heard a voice speaking.
He heard the other party say:
"Everything started when he ran through these streets again."
"A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a series of thunderous footsteps. With his leap, a new era began."
"This era belongs to such people, whose speed exceeds sound, light, and even time."
"They followed in his footsteps, following the ancient justice, and he believed that the boundary between good and evil was so clear, just like the bright red and gold on his body. To Barry Allen #¥ x-on:$%…”
The voice suddenly became blurred, and then “Barry Allen” was corrected to another name:
“For Albert Swan, the Flash, everything is that simple.”
“Oh, oh, is the Flash’s name Albert Swan, Grandpa?”
“Yes, that’s right, baby. That’s the name in the storybook. I was old and blurry just now, so I read it wrong.”
“The Flash’s name is Albert Swan.”
…
…
…
“Hah!!!”
Chen Tao was also roaring, and he was also running.
At this time, he maintained the state of the Red Death, and the positive and negative speed forces formed a circuit on the red-gold half-red body. Every time it swirled, the burden on the Reverse Flash became heavier.
As the Reverse Flash completely died, the silver-white particles on his body also trembled, and various transformations continued to reappear.
The Reverse Flash did not die, he just embraced the speed force and merged with the speed force. Maybe one day he will return from the Speed Force, just like Barry Allen in the comics left the Speed Force and returned to reality.
(Note: For Barry Allen's return from the Speed Force, please refer to the comic "The Flash: Rebirth". The Reverse Flash Albert Swan was unwilling to see Barry Allen sacrifice himself to save the earth, so he sent a subconscious pulse to Barry and successfully helped Barry Allen escape from the Speed Force.)
One after another, the thorns of Doomsday stretched out from Batman's body. They were no longer just a few bone spurs, but the whole person's figure was also raised.
Broken Bat, Bat Master, Bane Bat, Speed Bullet, Green Lantern Bat, Bizarro Bat...
The characteristics of various transformations emerged on him little by little, and then merged back into that hideous body.
Not only did his body not continue to grow bigger, but it became thinner.
"Not enough... Not enough!"
Blood was gushing out of Chen Tao's mouth and nose, and the gorilla Grodd and the turtle man thousands of miles away also wailed with him.
The bat-like form given to him by the human-faced bat serum appeared first, and the faint blue color of the Speed Bullet uniform replaced the pair of originally black pointed ears on his head.
A pair of flesh wings stretched out from his ribs, and the rough, sick, pale skin of the Bizarro Bat combined with the spur-filled body of the Ravager made his body look like a stalactite hanging down in a cave.
The physical characteristics of a dinosaur emerged from his face, and he stretched out his two hands or claws, with two red and green lantern rings on them.
Blood condensed into flames spurted out of his mouth uncontrollably, which was the effect of the red lantern ring draining blood from the host's body, but in an instant, the blood turned into majestic black nanorobots, surrounding the white-gray dragon.
Then...
Three pink dots of light from Brainiac appeared on his forehead, and his telepathic ability, which was almost the same as Brainiac's, swept the whole place.
The ability of the chemical waste bat appeared in his tail, so that the tip of his tail had a transparent can surrounded by black metal, which kept spraying corrosive venom.
"Really... really surprising... really impressive."
Darkseid said, and he changed his words at the last moment.
The Dark Lord raised his head and looked at Batman in front of him:
"Do you think you can fight me with just this? Fight my Superboy Prime? You are just-hum."
The Dark Lord suddenly snorted, and the mental shock from Brainiac swept through his brain in an instant, making him unable to say a word, but then the flames of the Omega effect appeared in Darkseid's eyes.
"You angered me."
The Dark Lord could obviously drive Superboy Prime to attack the opponent right now, but he still chose to put his hands behind his back and fly upright to the top of Superboy Prime.
After making his behavior look like a real super boss, Darkseid gave the order to Superboy Prime:
"Kill Batman!"
Instantly, Superboy Prime moved.
Although his cheeks were abnormally pale due to excessive blood loss, the Omega effect mixed with the anti-life equation and the Blood Slaughter Bull still made him faithfully execute the order of the Lord of Apokolips.
He raised his fist and punched the open space next to Chen Tao.
Tens of thousands of pounds of soil were blown up by the shock wave brought by his radial fist wind, as if a mud rain fell behind Chen Tao.
But Chen Tao was unscathed.
"..."
This was the Blood Slaughter Bull deflecting Superboy Prime's attack. He didn't care who won or lost, as long as Superboy Prime kept getting angry.
Hitting left and right, as if he had drunk fake wine and couldn't hit anyone, was obviously a good way to anger others.
Darkseid was not worried.
Although Superboy-Prime has become weaker now, he is still Superboy-Prime, even if he is weaker.
Darkseid did not intend to reach out and rub his cheek, which was still aching.
No one knows what kind of freak Superboy-Prime is better than him.
And he is very confident in his control of the anti-life equation...
Hey, some strange changes suddenly appeared on Batman's dinosaur face.
The dragon's mouth suddenly began to open, from the mouth to the back of the ears, and the whole dragon face turned pale.
What is this new trick?
What is Batman doing?
Just when Darkseid did not quite understand the situation...
Then, he suddenly heard Superboy-Prime laugh like the previous Reverse Flash, which made him almost think he had heard it wrong.
"Hahahaha...hahahaha, hehehehaha..."
