Parallel world.
Gotham, Wayne Manor.
On the roof, long-haired Barry handed the uniform to Kara-El, the superwoman who had been rescued not long ago. He turned around on his own initiative. Bathed in the sun, Kara's weakness was gone. Shredded, revealing a perfect body with graceful curves and eight-pack abs.
Buzz!
There was a stir in the void, and Cheng Long walked out holding a head.
Kara's movement of lifting her pants stopped abruptly, and she looked at the handsome and elegant man in front of her with a dull expression.
“Nice figure!”
Cheng Long opened his eyes wide, looked up and down, and gave the most honest evaluation.
"Who? Who's talking?" Barry, who had long hair with his back to Kara, heard the voice. He wanted to turn but stopped. He was curious about the sudden voice, but he was also afraid of turning his head and seeing Kara's body.
Susu!
Kara quickly put on her uniform and stared sharply at Cheng Long and the head in his hand.
There was blood still flowing under his neck.
This man looked like an executioner.
"Whose head is this?"
"Darkseid, the dark lord of Apokolips, the notorious ruler."
Cheng Long replied truthfully.
After Darkseid was beheaded by his sword, this guy's head and body had actually lost their vitality. Unexpectedly, the head floating in the control, after being quiet for a period of time, could actually emit Omega rays, killing him. Send yourself to another parallel universe of DC.
Supergirl and the long-haired Barry with his back turned to them are obviously a branch caused by the Flash using the speed force to travel to the past and change the established facts in order to clear his father's crime.
The Speed Force is a strange extra-dimensional space located in a higher dimension that contains all possible knowledge of time and space. At the same time, the Speed Force is the source of the Flash’s speed and was created by Barry Allen. It exists in every dimension and every time. Between the electrical energy and every part of entity in the universe and throughout the ages.
Specific abilities of the Speed Force include exceeding the speed of light, penetrating objects, and traveling through time and space.
When the Flash is in the state of the Speed Force, he can control time and space, and even enter a time loop. This ability allows The Flash to change history at critical moments and avoid disasters.
But it will also create different timelines, thus promoting the birth of the multiverse.
The DC universe that Cheng Long currently lives in is a parallel universe that should not exist. There are no regular members such as Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Superman. Even before Barry appeared, even the Flash no longer existed. exist.
In this world, Gotham is known as one of the safest cities in the world. As a result, Batman loses his job of fighting criminals and has to stay in Wayne Manor, living in a daze from day to day.
"Is he Darkseid?"
Kara's pupils suddenly tightened, and it was obvious that she had heard of this name.
But that's normal. Darkseid himself is the ruler of Apokolips, the most terrifying planet in the DC worldview, and one of the most terrifying and powerful new gods in the DC multiverse.
"Yes, he wanted to invade my woman's home, so I killed him!"
Cheng Longfeng replied calmly.
At this time, the long-haired Barry, who had his back to the two of them, couldn't help but turn his head.
"My dear, you, you are actually holding a human head?"
"Hey, Barry, look carefully. This is not a human head, it is the head of a new alien race of gods..." Cheng Long threw Darkseid's head at Barry's feet like a prank, and the long-haired Barry was so frightened that he disappeared in a flash. In place.
Kara smiled and asked curiously: "How do you know his name?"
"Because I know the short-haired Barry below. They are actually the same person, but they come from different time and space..." At this point, Cheng Long changed the topic and asked knowingly: "Where is your cousin? I don't have one on this earth. Feel his breath.”
"It seems you are indeed from the same place."
Kara thought of what short-haired Barry said before going upstairs, and her guard lowered a little. Then she looked up at the sky and said: "Before those Kryptonians in the sky arrived on Earth, I always thought that I was the last son of Krypton. I didn't expect this. The exiled criminals actually survived because they were exiled to the Phantom Zone.”
"So Superman has never been to Earth? He either died on Krypton or wandered to an alien planet, right?"
In the movie "The Flash", it is not clear that Superman died, but it is said that the dormant cabins of Kara and Superman were separated. Although Superman was still a baby at the time, it was not impossible to survive.
"Not bad."
Kara nodded.
Just then, short-haired Barry ran up from downstairs. The first time he saw Cheng Long, his eyes immediately lit up, and he stepped forward with excitement on his face and said, "Oh my god, Mr. Long, are you really still alive?"
"Why, isn't it surprising that I'm alive?"
Cheng Long raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Knowing his Barry meant that he was from the same DC universe as him, not the Flash from a parallel universe.
"No, no, I'm just very happy to meet you here."
Barry, who was still looking sad down there just now, immediately calmed down when he saw Cheng Long.
When he stepped forward, he found the head on the ground and said in shock: "No, Darkseid's head, why is it so fresh? Mr. Long, when did you come?"
"Just now."
Cheng Long knew very well why Barry asked these questions.
Because when Barry disrupted the normal timeline, created a new timeline, and formed a parallel universe, the Justice League had been established for some time and had a stable job.
"But when I came to this parallel universe, more than a year had passed since you blocked the Apokolips space fleet in the starry sky. At that time, Diana was very sad and wanted to find you like crazy. If Long Yi hadn't been there all the time, Say you're fine, she's probably crazy."
Barry was very envious of the relationship between Cheng Long and Diana. After the dragon was hit by Darkseid's head and the ray shot from his head disappeared, Diana seemed to have lost her soul and was in a state of confusion.
Even though Long Yi repeatedly emphasized that Cheng Long was not dead, Diana was still worried that she couldn't eat or sleep well.
If the other party was not a demigod, he would definitely become thinner and thinner.
"In this case, I must go back as soon as possible."
Cheng Long originally wanted to wander around the parallel universe, but now that he knew that Diana missed him very much, he no longer had the need to wander around. Although the superwoman Kara in front of him was good-looking and had a great figure.
But considering that after Kara landed on Earth, she was imprisoned by mercenaries in a base in Siberia, tortured for a long time, and studied by others, the thoughts in her heart were extinguished.
It is self-evident what will happen to a woman when she is imprisoned for a long period of time.
"Mr. Long, do you have a way to go back?"
Barry's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his face flushed with excitement. "Of course, there is a special energy in this head, a power containing the Omega effect. As long as you master this power, you can travel through time and space." When Cheng Long was sent away by the Omega ray, he controlled it with his mind. Darkseid's head came to this parallel universe with him.
Studying omega rays is indeed a way back.
However, without Omega rays, he still has some methods. For example, the clone Long Yi is a very good plane coordinate. Cheng Long can completely sense the existence of the clone, and then use great magic to tear the void and shuttle back.
It's just that this behavior is too rough and may cause unnecessary trouble.
God exists in the DC universe and is an omnipotent being, similar to the saints in the world.
Even if he summons Yuanshi Tianzun over, Yuanshi Tianzun may not be able to protect him on someone else's main battlefield.
So you have to keep a low profile.
"Great, this way I can hitch a ride back to my original world." Barry almost jumped with excitement when he learned that Cheng Long had a way to go back.
From the time he lost the Speed Power to now, he has been thinking about going back all the time. However, losing the Speed Power is equivalent to losing the return ticket.
We can only place our hopes on peers in parallel universes.
However, the long-haired Barry beside him has been happy and carefree since he was a child. His behavior is very unconventional, and he doesn't understand his heart at all.
It's quite sad.
"Barry, if you leave, what will we do?" Long-haired Barry asked worriedly.
"..." Barry's expression froze.
Yes, if we all leave, the Zods of this world will capture the earth and use the world engine to transform the earth into New Krypton. Billions of people on the earth will face life threats.
"Dragon, you should know Zod, he is already here and we need to solve this crisis."
Cheng Long did not reply immediately, but turned to look at the superwoman Kara with a strong figure, and asked: "You are also a Kryptonian. I need your position now."
"..."
Kara was silent. What she had experienced in the past few years had made her hate the people on Earth. But not long ago, Barry sneaked into the Siberian base and found that he had found the wrong person. He still took her out regardless of the danger, which moved her heart.
"Kara, if it is Clark, he will definitely choose to fight for the earth. I am not saying this to make you a traitor to the race, but there are many unowned planets out there. Since your Kryptonian has the technology to transform the planet into a habitable planet, There is no need to kill billions of people to snatch the little broken ball at our feet.”
Barry persuaded with a solemn expression.
When Zod invaded the earth, he had just obtained the Speed Force and was not very proficient in his own power. In that disaster that affected thousands of people, Barry had the ability to save a child and the child's father, but he failed Because he was not familiar with the power, he could only save the child and watch the child's father die.
This incident was like a thorn, deeply rooted in Barry's heart.
It is inevitable that the disaster will happen again, and they must repel Zod. It would be best if they could persuade Zod to leave and go outside to find a new home in the unclaimed land.
"Kara, what Barry said is right. There are not only bad people on the earth, but also students, waiters, chefs... thousands of ordinary people." Long-haired Barry followed up and persuaded.
"You saved me. I can help persuade Zod to leave, but I won't help you fight."
boom!
The words just fell.
Supergirl then jumped into the air, flew high into the sky, and disappeared into the clouds.
……
After a few minutes.
Cheng Long followed the two Barrys into the Batcave, and met the old Batman in the parallel world in the cave, who looked somewhat similar to the villain Vulture in the Marvel world.
"This head looks like an alien. Is it your trophy?"
The elderly Wayne looked at the head placed on the workbench and acted quite calmly. Darkseid's head, with rock-like skin, looked more like a rock than a head from a distance.
"So be it!"
Cheng Long smiled slightly, and then wisps of black air emerged from his palm, wrapping Darkseid's head.
Then, the elderly Wayne, Barry and long-haired Barry saw a breathtaking scene. The indestructible head melted quickly as if someone had poured acid on it.
It only took less than ten seconds to transform from skin to flesh and then to skull.
boom!
A surging red energy burst out from Darkseid's brain, transforming into a blazing flame.
The combination of the crystal skull, the enchanting red flames, and the dissipating black demonic energy is so weird no matter how you look at it.
Cheng Long, however, held the refined skull in his hand, as if he couldn't feel a trace of warmth or chilling aura.
"Bruce, I need a quiet room to completely refine this power." It will take some time for Cheng Long to tame this energy. If he wants to refine it instantly, he will need at least the perfection of Da Luo Jinxian, or even the cultivation of Hunyuan Jinxian.
"No problem, come with me."
After Wayne took Cheng Long away.
Barry lay on his desk writing and drawing, trying to recreate the various opportunities he had to obtain superpowers in the past and reconnect with the Speed Force.
"Barry, you already have hope of going back, why do you want to risk being struck by lightning?" Long-haired Barry showed great resistance when he first learned that acquiring abilities would result in being struck by lightning.
Because he didn't want to die, he felt that Barry shouldn't take the risk. After all, this process was particularly dangerous.
"I can't put all my hopes on the dragon, and..." Barry stopped abruptly and did not continue. There were some things he didn't know how to say to the long-haired Barry.
Long-haired Barry frowned and said, "You want to hide it from me again?"
"It's not to hide it, but it has never happened in your world, so there is no need to say it."
"Okay, no matter what you say, you are right. When you want to say it, you must tell me. I am very curious about your personality and why it is so different from mine..."
After a while, Wayne returned with a cup of coffee, picked up the drawings that Barry had written on, and said, "You want to cause an accident and become Speedy again?"
"It's dozens or even a hundred times more difficult to lead people through time and space than it is for an individual. I can't place all my hopes on others." Although Barry has the speed force and can go to any timeline and dimension, he can only I can walk alone, but I can't bring anyone with me.
Therefore, he must find the Speed Force and take his destiny into his own hands.
"After regaining your abilities, you can leave at any time. Why do you insist on solving the threats on our side before leaving?" Old Wayne wanted to know the answer.
Barry looked around and saw that long-haired Barry was not around, and then said: "Because my mother is still alive in this world, and I traveled through time to save her..." (End of Chapter)
