Chapter 286 84. I am the Flash, the fastest man in the world, but I can’t run now
"What's the matter with your ring?"
Ten minutes later, in the secret room of the Ark of Doom, Barry Allen, who had run hundreds of times around the world at full speed, returned the ring in his hand to Mason feeling unwell.
Xiao Shen complained:
"When I ran with it, it felt like it was draining my blood. I could feel part of my speed force being absorbed by it.
This situation reminds me of the battle of wits I had with Reverse-Flash for a while. Mason, you won't use it to do bad things, right? ”
"It depends on how you define 'bad thing'."
Mason shrugged, took his Speed Force Ring and put it in front of his eyes to look at it. The irregular crystal stone that was originally gray now glowed beautifully as if it had been carved.
It doesn't emit dazzling light, but there is indeed a yellow glimmer emerging in the darkness, just like a small luminous pearl.
He put the ring on his left little finger.
Before he could say anything, the Black Death Sword suit ring that was originally fixed on his ring finger moved its shape in disgust and reattached itself to Mason's left wrist, turning into a tattoo-like black bracelet.
It seemed to hate the aura of power exuded by its "new neighbor."
This also fully shows that although the Speed Force has "god" in its name, it does not have divinity.
"Buzz"
Mason briefly activated the ring, and his hand immediately began to vibrate at a high speed just like when Barry activated the light-speed hand knife, but it did not last for a second before he was forced to stop.
It's not that the ring can't hold up.
But because he couldn't hold it on, the evil alchemist felt the severe pain in his wrist speechlessly, and the one blow just now shattered his hand bones.
Well, it seems that the special reminder on this ring makes sense. With his current rookie physique, which makes him weak even if he drinks Superman medicine, he is completely unable to control the even more unreasonable Speed Force.
"Wait a minute."
Mason took out the Bone Spirit and gave himself a sip. He grimaced in pain and almost cried. Barry's teeth ached when he saw it, as if Mason had made himself a suicide device instead of a speed ring.
"Take it easy."
Xiao Shen complained in a low voice:
"There is a circle of people outside waiting for you to show off your power. If you play to death here, they will probably rush in and hack me to death."
"It doesn't matter, we can look forward to tomorrow."
Mason, who looked pale, joked:
"Put this thing here first. When I get better, you can see that I use the Speed Force to go to the toilet. Okay, no kidding, I just found something in my collection.
You might be able to use it. ”
He took out a small box and opened it in his hand. Inside was a stone spear with a very rough and primitive craftsmanship. It only had a spear tip that looked like a small toy made by children.
It was still stained with blood and looked very ominous.
This thing was a trophy that Mason got when he killed the great wizard Igor. It was a treasure that that guy got from the Asa Protoss in an unknown world.
At this moment, he picked up the stone spear and handed it to Xiao Shen. Light patterns appeared on it, and Mason also saw the information label of this thing again:

Item description: There are countless Odins in countless worlds, but don't be afraid, the one you are facing is not strong, it can kill you with one finger.
Tip:
After coming into contact with the orthodox divine inscription "Rune Rune", the [Photographic Memory] talent is activated, and the collection of runes such as [Thunder], [Must Hit], [Piercing], and [Bleeding] are completed.
The branch of inscription literature "Inscription of Divine Power" is opened.
"What is this?"
Flash had no information tag to read, so he had no idea why Mason gave him the toy-like stone spear tip.
But when his fingers came into contact with the ordinary-looking spear tip, a bolt of lightning gathered by the speed force suddenly shot up from the spear tip, as if the divine item was activated and it floated in front of Barry's eyes with a whoosh.
Now all Barry needs to do is set a target to summon the projection of the Spear of Judgment.
"Hey! Don't face people! It's very dangerous!"
Mason was so frightened that the tip of the spear was aimed at him. He grabbed the tip of the spear and stuffed it back into Barry's palm, and suppressed the Black Death Sword suit on his left wrist that was restless due to the smell of divinity.
"You speedsters have so little skill in fighting each other."
Mason explained to Barry:
"You can throw lightning, but when you are moving at high speed, the speed of lightning cannot keep up with your dodge frequency, and this little cutie can perfectly solve this problem.
As long as you use it to lock and aim at Reverse Flash, he will never be able to escape in this world where time cannot travel, but don't miss it, this thing can only be used again.
Either leave this last bullet for him, or it can only be left for you. ”
He patted Barry on the shoulder and warned him. Xiao Flash looked at the stone spear in his hand and suddenly felt a little silent. His character was too kind, and it was difficult to make up his mind to kill even when facing the enemy.
Batman once commented that the Flash's biggest weakness is his kindness, but this is also Barry's biggest advantage. Even the villains like to "play" with him.
After all, no matter what happens, there will be no worries about life.
Mason, who was standing at the door, seemed to be aware of Barry Allen's hesitation. He turned back to Xiao Shen and said:
"That thing doesn't have to pierce the heart. In fact, as long as your aim is accurate enough, you can cut off Reverse Flash's little brother without killing him.
But you know, he is destined not to leave this world unharmed. ”
"I didn't mean that!"
Barry immediately retorted and explained:
"I'm not afraid of getting blood on my hands, I'm just"
"You are not afraid, but I am."
Mason put his hand on the door lock and looked back at him, saying:
“I don’t want to see the ‘Red Death’ born in front of my eyes. I know exactly what you will fall into once you cross that line, and I don’t want to cause any more trouble for myself.
I mean, Barry.
It's not your fault to be kind, it's not anyone's fault to be kind! So when you know you have to do something but can’t do it, learn to ask others for help.
This is what friends exist for. ”
"Ka"
The sealed door was opened, and a bunch of people outside the door looked at Mason and the Flash in the shadow behind him. The old man glanced at Damian beside him, and said dumbly:
"How about I go? Tell me exactly what to do, and I will definitely do it!"
"If I go to kill a god next time, I will definitely ask you to do it for me, Thomas, but let's forget it this time."
Mason waved his hand, took something out of his pocket and put it into the old man's hand. Then he winked at Catwoman and the two walked aside and whispered a few words.
The old man glanced at the thing in his hand.
It was a silver-gray data key like a small metal bolt. He suddenly remembered that he had just seen Mason parking a majestic power armor in the hangar of the doomsday ship for maintenance.
Now the old man knew what task he had to undertake.
He glanced at The Flash, who had a complex expression, and reached out to pat the young man on the shoulder. Although they didn't get along for long, an experienced person like Thomas could already distinguish Barry Allen's character.
This kid is the kind of young man who can put anyone at ease at any time, a "good guy" in the true sense of the word.
"Drive out that bad guy who runs very fast, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
The old man whispered:
"You can't do this kind of thing like killing someone."
The words that only two people could hear made Barry look up suddenly, and then he saw the old man showing a fleeting smile on his chin that was almost identical to Bruce's under the bat mask.
He and Mason obviously didn't say anything, but the old man actually guessed it.
He is worthy of being the Batman of a parallel world.
No one is easy to deal with.
"Hey, are we sure we want to bet our lives on these two people?"
Deadshot, who was outside the crowd, was carrying his beloved cat Matata on his back, folding his arms and complaining to the death knell next to him:
"This one is the conscience of the Justice League, and the other is unclear to Batman. Where is our bottom line as villains? Where is our persistence?
I think you still have to rely on yourself to survive. ”
"I want you to die."
Deathstroke yawned, waved his hand and said:
"I don't want to conflict with Mason. I'm still waiting for him to offer me a new job. It's not a good habit to mess with the big boss before joining the job."
"Yo, you've got a way, man."
Deadshot suddenly became energetic when he heard this.
He bumped the death knell with his arm and whispered:
"Take me with you. Originally, I thought this woman Talia had a lot of tricks up her sleeve, but when I came here and saw her being crushed by that young man Mason, I knew that this guy was the one with the ability. If you follow him, you can get ahead. ”
"Boss, take me with you too."
The huge King Shark was wearing his own cool underwater battle helmet, and he was chewing a bag of snacks that someone gave him.
The bastard also followed Death Shooter's words and said something flattering to Deathstroke, and even handed over the snack bag in an attempt to bribe the mercenary leader.
"You?"
Deathstroke glanced at his two bad fish pond brothers, rolled his eyes and said:
"Okay, come back and do some hard work with me, and I'll give you a nice word in front of Mason. We can't be righteous partners, but being righteous black gloves shouldn't be a big problem.
< br>
I guess even with absolute justice, there are things that are inconvenient for me to do. ”
While they were discussing, Thalia also gathered with Lady Martha to bite their ears. The focus of their discussion was how to keep Damian safe, which Damian was completely uninterested in.
The little lunatic just wants to continue the killing spree!
"Open the door, Barry!"
Mason told Catwoman a few things, then took off his Hell Eye pin and handed it to Selina, and then shouted something to Little Flash who was making preparations.
Barry Allen took a deep breath, and his figure flashed at the end of the Doomsday Ark. Everyone around him took the initiative to move to both sides to make way for him.
And Lex Luthor is now setting up a special instrument with the help of Old Deathstroke to record what will happen next.
Regardless of whether Mason and Flash's actions succeed or fail, this will be the biggest event that will happen in this world before the end of the world, and it must be recorded.
"唰"
The Flash started running in a standard posture and instantly broke through the speed of light.
In a tenth of the blink of an eye, he ran across the top of the several-kilometer-long ark, and exploded in front of Mason with the speed force and crashed into the special space under time.
There was a bang.
A crack filled with yellow fine lightning appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the impact of its special energy blew the Catwoman next to Mason away.
While the big sister threw out the mantra lasso painted black and pulled herself back to the deck, Mason also activated the tail ring on his little finger. The flowing light wrapped around his whole body and caused Mason to vibrate rapidly in place to the same frequency as Little Flash at this time. , and then he jumped up with great pain, and his whole body disappeared into the crack leading to the speed force space.
What comes into view is a rapidly rotating illusion, and the surrounding area looks like a winding passage filled with broken light, forming an extremely complex "time maze" in this unknown area.
Reflected on the light curtains on both sides are images of the world at various points in time that happened before.
Lex Luthor is right. Just looking at the completely different backgrounds and completely different disasters in these scattered images, you can tell that this is definitely not the normal scene of the timeline flowing forward.
Just like a "doomsday bad movie marathon", the entire world is entering the same doomsday in an evolving disaster.
Mason climbed up in this time maze and felt pain all over his body, but he clearly saw Flash and Reverse Flash chasing and fighting back and forth in front of him. In this area composed entirely of the Speed Force, the speed between the two people seemed to be blocked. It was limited to a point where it was fast but not so fast, red and yellow lights intertwined.
They are running and attacking each other. They look very cool, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the fight between these two guys is just straight-up punches.
They even occasionally pushed and shoved each other like they were fighting with naughty children.
no way.
Einstein once said that the square of the speed of light multiplied by the mass equals explosive energy, so the best way for a speedster to fight is to aim at the target and strike hard.
After all, in the time it took for Little Flash to finish a set of military punches, Reverse Flash could stab him tens of thousands of times.
"Reverse-Flash has destabilized this place, Mason! Look at those holes in the walls! This place is falling apart and this selfish bastard wants to destroy it so he can escape."
Flash's angry shouts echoed in the time maze, and he shouted to Mason:
"I'll hold him back! Go to the depths of the maze quickly and follow the hole he made. We can't even get close there. The thing protected by the Speed Force is waiting for you!
You are its most distinguished guest!
quick!
Mason, run!
Run! ”
At this moment, Mason suddenly flashed to the side.
At the same time, the yellow figure used a light-speed hand knife to smash into Mason's speed clone that was left in place.
The miss of the light speed knife stunned Reverse Flash for a moment, and then he was kicked into the sky by Barry Allen who rushed forward and kicked him several hundred meters away, even breaking several walls of the time maze.
The simple but brutal fighting methods of these speedsters really opened Mason's eyes. While cursing the unskilled rough work, he activated the speed force ring and rushed into the depths of the maze with a whoosh.
A lightning matrix woven almost entirely from the Speed Force protects the place.
Whenever Reverse Flash or Barry tried to get close, they would be pushed back by it, but as Mason approached, this dangerous Speed Force matrix strangely seemed to open a door, welcoming Mason's arrival.
Mason was inexperienced in using the Speed Force for the first time. His mind wanted to stop, but his legs were flying too fast, and his thinking could not keep up with the action, causing him to fall out in an instant.
He hit the wall which was not very strong with a bang, and then he got up in embarrassment, rubbing his dizzy head.
Then, he saw what existed before him.
Barry Allen.
The Barry Allen of this world, of course.
A decrepit old man with only skin and bones left, an old man with a white beard who was even more miserable than the Kryptonian Zod who was rescued from the laboratory by Mason before, was running continuously in the space above his head.
Every step he took was laborious.
And his poor appearance means that he must have not rested for a long time. Only the wrinkled red suit on his body represents his identity.
Every time he takes a step, a dazzling golden stream of light will be born and fly to the outside world, just like the core of a running engine transmitting endless energy to a running instrument.
Although it is not clear where the speed force generated by Barry in front of him has gone, looking at him panting and running so hard, it is as if he is trekking with the whole world on his back.
And that may indeed be the case.
Mason looked at Barry Allen above him who might fall down at any time. He moved his lips and looked at the scene in front of him with a miraculous look.
He said:
"Barry, this world is actually dead, right?" (End of Chapter)
