Chapter 349 The Justice League Is Laughing Wildly

Let me start with the conclusion:

First, Chen Tao believes that the magic control of the Eclipse is actually a kind of enhancement.

That's right...

In front of Chen Tao, the Flash, whose half of his face was covered with blue-purple scale-like wrinkles, roared to the sky like a zombie. He was controlled by Maxwell Lord, and half of his body was shaking at a high frequency. Then he performed a high-frequency shaking hand knife with both hands in front of Chen Tao.

This is also one of the classic skills of the speedster. The constantly shaking palm can cut the material like tofu at the molecular level.

Chen Tao will use it when synchronizing with the Red Death. He has seen the Reverse Flash use this trick more than once. The Flash didn't know how to do it at first, but later he gradually learned it.

But Chen Tao has never seen the Flash use both hands so skillfully at the same time, at least he didn't remember it.

"Hah! Hah! Ha! Hah!"

Under the control of Maxwell Lord, the Flash kept shouting, wrapping his shaking hands around his head and brain, and swung them into a group of afterimages.

He touched the wall next to him lightly, and then a small piece of the wall was completely swallowed by the two arms of the Flash, which kept spinning and swinging, and a smooth round pit appeared.

Good! Too strong!

The indestructible high-frequency hand knife plus the arm rotation speed accelerated by the speed force, this is a complete meat grinder, killing people without blinking, and the victim died without even saying "what a fast knife".

Chen Tao's eyes lit up.

In addition, more importantly, Chen Tao, who synchronized with a part of the bat wizard, could clearly feel that after being completely eroded by the magic energy of the Eclipse, the Flash felt that his physical fitness had taken a small step forward, and even his movements seemed to have become a little faster.

Ah, don't get me wrong, Chen Tao didn't intend to use the Eclipse to control his teammates when needed and then do something, because there are two main difficulties in doing so:

First, the super evil magician like the Eclipse will not obey obediently, and second, the dark power of the Eclipse may distort the Flash's mind and cause psychological shadows to his teammates.

So, as long as we solve these two...

Pfft, pfft, I didn't plan to do that, so there's no need to solve these two problems!

Chen Tao shook his head slightly, and retracted his divergent thoughts.

However, he really thought so only in this matter.

He always believed that the potential of Barry the Flash was far more than this. A long time ago, he realized that he had taken away too many villains from Barry during his growth:

The loss of gorilla Grodd made Barry not good at dealing with telepaths; the loss of the turtle made Barry confused when he saw someone who could slow him down; without the Rogues, a villain group with excellent cooperation, Barry is now gradually losing his skills in dealing with group enemies;

Oh, yes, there is also Reverse Flash, whose status among the Flash villains is equivalent to Luthor to Superman and Bane to Batman, and Chen Tao directly sent him into the Speed ​​Force.

The main villains of the entire Flash series were either treated as consumables by him or turned into salaried security guards, and what else is left?

Steel beams? Tar Pit? These two are the remaining villains of the Flash who are still a bit strong. Oh, according to their account, they worked for the Outsiders of the Crime Syndicate before, and ended up fighting with the Reverse Flash. The steel beams were blown up, and the Tar Pit sank into the sea. It took a long time for them to be resurrected and come back. It has been a long time since they fought with the Flash.

Remove these two, what villains are left for the Flash?

Rainbow Bandit? Monocle? Or the Condiment King?

Should the Flash practice with the Condiment King? Practice what? Hide ketchup?

It's not that the Flash can't be thrown into the training ground. There is still a difference between sparring in the training ground and real fights with villains.

Even for opponents like the Rogues and the Flash who are not very hostile, the intensity of their real confrontation is several times stronger than training.

You know, in the comics, because Bart Allen's speed was stolen by the super villain's inertia, the Rogues even accidentally killed him in a regular confrontation with him.

(Note: Bart Allen, the grandson of the Flash Barry Allen from the future, codenamed Pulse, was once the fourth generation Flash. Later, he was ambushed by his clone Inertia and died tragically at the hands of the Rogues. Later, the Rogues realized that they were being used by Inertia to become a sharp blade to kill Bart, so they killed Inertia to avenge Bart Allen. This is also one of the famous records of the Rogues killing the speedster.)

Captain Cold's original words were "His speed could have avoided such an attack, but because he slowed down, we didn't know, which led to this tragedy."

Even the milder villains like the Rogues may accidentally kill the speedster, not to mention those superheroes and villains who are more confrontational.

So Chen Tao has always understood why the Flash's performance is so bad. Because as far as the Flash alone is concerned, Chen Tao has accidentally turned him into the situation of Earth 51.

That Earth is a parallel universe that existed during the countdown to the final crisis. Basically, when Jason Todd, the second-generation Robin, was beaten to death by the Joker with a crowbar, Batman did not choose to continue to stick to the iron rule of not killing like in the main universe, but went on a killing spree and directly slaughtered all the villains on the entire Earth.

——Batman was originally very strong, and when he decided to give up his bottom line, he was at the level of cheating. Arkham Asylum was a river of blood, and not a single chicken was left. Even Superman's villains, Luthor, Parasite, and whatnot were all killed by the Batman of that universe.

Batman wielded the butcher knife without blinking an eye. He killed so easily that he even didn't let go of his old lover Catwoman.

He kept killing, and no one could stop him. In the end, all the villains on the entire Earth were killed by him.

Such a mad behavior led to...

The Justice League of that universe and all the superheroes on the entire Earth retired early, and went home to get married, have children and nurse their children...

Of course, the end of that universe was not good. Since the villains were gone, the superheroes had been comfortable for too long, and their strength did not improve but declined, and they all degenerated into rookies.

Therefore, when the super villain [Emperor] invaded, they were killed before they even reacted. And this universe was finally destroyed by Superboy Prime.

And now the Flash is in this state. Without a fighting target, he is just like the group of superheroes on Earth 51 who were raised and wasted because all the villains were killed.

In fact, he has the ability to do many things, and he has this potential, but Barry has not been able to release this potential, but has become weaker and weaker. Even the state of him being controlled by the Eclipse at this time is stronger than his normal state.

This is simply a joke. As we all know, all control over superheroes will only make them weaker. No matter how perfect the control is, it is impossible to fully exert the full strength of superheroes. But now the Flash under the control of Eclipse is stronger than usual. What does this mean?

It means that Barry under the control of Eclipse can only exert about 60~70% of the strength of this body, but when he controls himself, he can't reach this value!

And one of the important reasons for this is probably that Barry doesn't think he can do that "60~70%" from the bottom of his heart, such as using high-frequency hand knives with both hands at the same time.

So Chen Tao was thinking, if he could prove to Barry that he could do it, would he be able to make the other party regain confidence, improve himself little by little, and then find him some opponents...

But these are all things to be solved in the future. Chen Tao's favorite successor is still Green Lantern Hal, but making Flash stronger is also one of his goals, and the two are not contradictory.

As for Wonder Woman...

Chen Tao observed and felt that Diana in the eclipse state was not much different from his usual state, with basically no fluctuation in strength, which was much better than the Flash's situation.

After all, when she left Paradise Island, Wonder Woman was already a well-trained and powerful warrior. Although Wonder Woman missed some training due to Chen Tao's interference after coming to the "man's society", the missing part was very small and did not affect the overall situation.

Chen Tao just stood there thinking about it, and Amanda Waller beside him saw that he didn't speak, so she chose to speak first:

"Maxwell Lord, that diamond will infect you and make you misunderstand that everything is what you think."

"We are all chosen people, Amanda."

Maxwell Lord, whose face was also covered with blue and purple scales, said:

"We all understand that for the sake of the overall situation, someone must sacrifice. I need the Justice League to help me build a utopian world that everyone yearns for, even if I need to force them."

Chen Tao didn't say anything. He looked at Maxwell Lord and snapped his fingers, and then several purple magic portals appeared beside him.

Soon, with a zombie-like roar, the Martian Hunter, whose green face turned completely blue, appeared first, followed by Aquaman with an orange face and blue, and finally Shazam, who was wrapped in lightning.

The entire Justice League now has several of the most capable main players except Batman, and now all of them are here except Green Lantern Hal Jordan who is far away in OA.

"Roar..."

Maxiwell Lord said: "Come on, Amanda... please."

His eyes, which had turned red, jumped to Chen Tao:

"And you Batman, do you really think I won't take any protective measures?"

He opened his shirt, and Chen Tao saw that he was engraved with one inscription after another, and there was a symbol of the sun and the moon intertwined on his chest.

"I forced the high priest of Devil's Island to brand me with the holy symbol so that I would not be controlled by the Heart of Darkness. For many years, I have been reluctantly using my ability to control others, but now that I have the Heart of Darkness, I can make others do anything."

"Maxiwell, throughout history, the Heart of Darkness has been recorded in the darkest moments in human history."

Amanda Waller kept talking to Maxiwell Lord, and Chen Tao saw her making Morse code gestures to him from behind, which meant...

How is it? Is there a solution?

Chen Tao did not reply to her.

"The Black Death, witch trials, religious inquisition..."

Amanda Waller said earnestly: "Our researchers even found that the Heart of Darkness was recorded in the Thessalonica Massacre..."

During the whole time she was talking, Maxivil Lord did not answer him a word, but only when talking about the massacre...

Maxivil Lord's mouth corners uncontrollably outlined a smile.

"Yes, their screams are like a requiem..."

"You... what? What did you just say?"

Amanda Waller was startled.

"What...what did I just say? Oh, that's right...hehehehehe..."

Maxiwell Lord said: "Why are you so worried, Amanda? For the safety of the United States, you sent your men to die, and you sacrificed so many people, but I can achieve the results you have always desired with the least bloodshed. You can finally sleep peacefully, and you have seen that the world is in the hands of good people. Hahahahaha..."

Maxiwell Lord laughed, and the beautiful world and the beautiful future were waving to him.

Then he heard another laugh in his ears:

"Puff, hehe..."

Maxiwell turned his head suddenly, and he saw that the Flash suddenly covered his mouth and laughed softly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Maxiwell Lord frowned. Even though he was eroded by the eclipse, he still retained his consciousness, and so did the Flash and the others. The eclipse can evoke the darkest evil thoughts in human hearts, instead of simply turning them into puppets.

"Nothing, I think of something happy." Flash said, "I feel happy from the bottom of my heart when I think that we are finally doing the right thing."

"Hahahahahahaha..."

Maxiwell Lord frowned again. He still chose to force himself to continue: "America is just the beginning, Amanda."

"Puff!" Maxiwell Lord turned his head again, and this time it was Wonder Woman's turn to laugh.

Her face, half covered with blue and purple, showed a twisted smile, which looked a little scary.

"You continue." She said.

Maxiwell Lord confirmed again that his telepathic ability was not invalid.

That's right, his ability was strengthened by the Heart of Darkness, and the mental control ability of "super persuasion" was further improved. At this time, Wonder Woman's mental state was completely under his persuasion, and there was no problem, right?

Every mentally normal person can be persuaded, and the entire Justice League has completely agreed with their own ideas through the mental connection established by the Eclipse.

They believe from the bottom of their hearts that he, Maxiwell Lord's idea is correct. Lord confirmed again that Wonder Woman still thought he was right.

So he continued.

"I want to share these gifts with the world, and in the end, all human beings will see something they never thought possible."

He continued to give a speech to Amanda Waller and others:

"But I know that if I can get what I want, I can bring peace to the world!"

"Puff!"

"Hehehehe..."

"Wow, hahahahahahahaha..."

But Maxwell Lord hadn't finished speaking, and the entire Justice League couldn't stop laughing. They laughed hysterically, and everyone's mouth corners were stretched to their ears, and then they laughed loudly, and tears flowed out of their laughter.

"Hahaha, hahaha, hahahaha——"
