Chapter 578 44. Ha, you didn’t expect it, Brother Black Flash, I predicted your prediction
"Buzz"
Mason, who stood on the main runway, continued to accelerate driven by the Speed Force suit. The readings inside the suit showed that his speed was approaching the speed of light.
The world in my eyes has also undergone quite wonderful changes.
Speed has always been a relative concept, just like size is a relative concept.
When you are fast enough, the whole world will seem extremely slow. Mason still remembers that when he first reached the speed of light driven by the Speed Force, he could see that everything in front of him was almost stationary.
In the discontinuous time, the entire world fell silent, except for the speedsters themselves who were still moving at a relatively "normal" speed.
It was a rather strange experience and a rather boring state. It was not as interesting as when the "time-stop" artifact that some old guys thought about day and night took effect.
When the entire world is slowed down, a normal person seems to have pressed the slowdown button a hundred times when listening to others. The torturous feeling is like living in a world with a group of turtles.
This is probably why all speedsters have quite off-the-wall personalities.
They are almost driven crazy by the slow pace of the world.
To put it simply, if everyone in your life behaved like Brother Lightning, you would go crazy.
In short, Mason does not like this kind of super speed experience, so even after he unlocks the technology of Savitar Armor, he will not abuse the power of speed unless necessary.
But now it has reached a point where we have to take a chance.
"Reaching the speed of light!"
The beep of Savitar's armor brought Mason back to his senses.
At this time, he was already running on the main track at the speed of light. The pressure of energy extraction made Mason feel like he was running with a mountain on his back, and he was even a little out of breath.
But this speed is not fast enough. He must further exceed the speed of light in order to pick up the lagging energy storage speed again.
This also means danger.
Mason, who is not a speedster, has repeatedly forcibly connected to the Speed Force, which has put him on the "blacklist" of a dangerous guy. The elusive Black Lightning has attacked Mason three times before.
This time, as long as Mason dares to exceed the speed of light, the crazy mysterious guy will definitely appear again, and when all the speedsters are very busy, once they are entangled by Black Lightning, Mason will not be so lucky to escape.
But that's his plan!
He always has a backup plan like this, and after Reverse-Flash, a self-destructive fool, died in the Coward Game, Mason had to activate it.
"Keep accelerating!"
Mason gave new orders to the Speed Force suit.
Of course not in a verbal way. After acquiring a lot of black technology from Brainiac, all the armors produced by Mason have been replaced with advanced modes of brainwave manipulation.
"Bang"
A weak vibration represented a breakthrough in the speed of light, and the light around the Speed Force Armor began to emit a brighter blue light.
He "crossed the line."
"Mason, come down here!"
At this moment, an unexpected voice appeared in the communication. The gray-haired lord Superman, with his white cape flying, was rushing into the time chaos zone in the most classic Superman flying posture with fists clenched.
He said in a deep voice:
"I will drive the main runway. Although I am not a speedster, my ultimate speed is not slower than that of the speedsters. Give me a suit of armor and let me connect to the speed force on your behalf.
I just learned from Harley that you have been hunted by the dangerous Black Lightning. Don't take any chances!
We cannot afford to risk losing you right now. ”
"You will die too."
Mason refused:
"Just because you are faster than me doesn't mean it will be safer for you to take on this task. Your understanding of the Speed Force is not as deep as mine. You can't do this job.
Thank you for your help, but I need you to withdraw now without affecting the operation of the entire system.
Wait
It's coming! ”
Hawkeye's time prediction appeared in front of Mason's eyes at this moment, allowing him to see the scene of his heart being dug out by Black Lightning with a knife. Mason, who was speeding on the main runway, instantly jumped and took off, allowing Black Lightning to suddenly appear from behind and deliver a fatal blow. The light speed hand knife hits the air.
The target appears and the capture operation begins.
The blue armor landed, and Mason reached out to grab Black Lightning's shoulder.
As long as it can be touched, the cage armor that previously restrained Reverse Flash can take effect again.
Considering that black lightning is a weird thing that gathers the dark side of the Speed Force, it is unclear whether it has an entity or not. It is definitely impossible for this thing to trap the God of Death with the Speed Force for a long time.
However, the current situation does not require long-term imprisonment. As long as Black Lightning can be charged, it will be a great success.
As for whether using Black Lightning will further anger this guy and make him chase Mason to death, this is not within the scope of Mason's consideration.
He's already offended him anyway, and even if he begs for mercy now, he won't let him go, so he might as well do it all at once.
"Pa"
Mason's gauntlet hit Black Lightning's shoulder, but before the cage armor could activate its coverage, the Black Lightning in front of him turned into a black dot of speed force and dissipated.
This is a time clone created instantly.
He knew that Black Lightning was very fast, but being so fast still made Mason's heart sink. He had been running away when facing Black Lightning before, but now he immediately felt the pressure in his first head-on confrontation.
It's not easy to challenge the Speed Force traffic police.
"Bang"
The light-speed hand knife hit Mason with thousands of blows in an instant. The terrifying speed difference between them made Mason's performance no better than ordinary people who faced the speedster.
The battles between fast men are always so simple and unpretentious. It is an absolute truth that those who are slow will be beaten.
Fortunately, the material of the Speed Force armor is calcified Speed Force crystal, which makes it more effective than vibranium when facing the attacks of the Speedster, allowing Mason to continue to take beatings.
But this is not an option.
Black Lightning can continue to play like this, but half of the Speed Force Cannon's ten-minute charge has passed, and now the energy accumulation is less than 40%. This progress is too slow.
"Don't come here!"
The chase between Mason and Black Lightning immediately attracted the attention of Lord Superman. He rushed over and was about to join the battlefield but was stopped by Mason. The captain yelled:
"It can dig out your heart in an instant. It's no joke. Get out!"
"Find a way to limit it, I can withstand it."
Lord Chao is not afraid of danger and rushes into battle.
He wasn't lying. Even without the addition of the Speed Force, Superman at extreme speed could barely keep up with Black Lightning. The two of them got into a ball in front of Mason's eyes and appeared fighting each other in several places almost at the same time.
Seemingly evenly matched, it is actually extremely dangerous.
No matter how strong Superman's body of steel is, it's not so strong that atoms can stand still, which means that as long as Black Lightning figures out his vibration frequency, it can easily pierce his heart like a non-invasive surgery.
"I need something to slow it down."
Mason kept running on the main runway, his mind spinning rapidly, and multiple combat plans that had been drawn up came to mind.
An absolutely stationary cryogun?
no.
It may disrupt the running state of the Speed Force cannon or other speedsters.
Kevin's slime offensive?
no.
The ooze can't keep up with Black Lightning's super speed.
Bat brand super quick-drying glue?
no.
This guy can dodge ten thousand times when he has his sights set.
"Precognition! Mason, use precognition!"
Sister Ka's cry sounded in the team communication at this moment, and the god-killing hero shouted:
"No matter how fast they are, they are limited by time. Do you remember the tactic I used to kill Savitar last time? Copy it once, and your blood concentration will be enough to use it actively.
Don't be afraid of pain like a girl, just for a moment!
Grit your teeth and push through. ”
"Can you think before you speak? You seem to be a girl too"
Mason blinked and began to rapidly diffuse his senses while running under great pressure while complaining, just like when he first tried to actively activate Eagle Eye Prediction in the pocket factory.
He quickly noticed the flow of time, and a white light began to appear in his eyes, just like the scene where Sister Ka smashed Savitar with a hero's blow.
He caught the Lord Chao being stabbed through the heart by Black Lightning five seconds later, so he rushed to the predetermined location where the two would appear in advance, trying to cover the cage armor before Black Lightning struck the fatal blow.
But at the moment when Mason stretched out his hand like a prophet, engineer Mason suddenly shouted:
"Not that position! Offset 3° to the lower left!"
At this moment, the engineer had an optical calculator placed in front of his eyes, and he was applying a very complicated formula to obtain a specific coordinate.
He screamed:
"This is the landing point I calculated based on my superficial knowledge of the law of cause and effect. It can't be wrong! Don't let time fool you, Mason, don't forget that the speedsters can travel through time.
They can also predict the future!
Time is not our friend in this field, but knowledge! Always trustworthy!
Trust me, that’s right! ”
Mason didn't have time to think about it, and his outstretched hand moved to the lower left. At the same moment, Black Lightning suddenly appeared in front of him and made an obvious bending to avoid it.
Engineer Mason's calculations were right!
This guy saw the future where he was attacked by Mason, so he made the most accurate response based on his prediction. No wonder the other speedsters were scared to death of Black Lightning.
This guy is carrying a precognition device with him!
However, under the constraints of the super rule of causality, Mason completed the prediction, and Black Lightning seemed to take the initiative to send his shoulder to Mason.
There is quite a bit of the secret behind the legendary "random archery".
Hey, shooting accurately is not as good as catching it well, it’s all about the opponent giving face.
"Ka"
The moment Mason clasped his fingers tightly, the nano armor stuck on his gauntlet was immediately covered.
At first, there was only a ball of blue light like "pollution". Black Lightning jumped up and down trying to shake it off, but after a second, the ferocious zombie-like Black Lightning was covered in the Speed Force armor.
The constraint is in place! Capture successful.
The decision is yours!
Go ahead, Black Lightning!
"Poof"
Engineer Mason rolled his eyes and exploded into a ball of water due to over-thinking in a short period of time, while the subject Mason also became sluggish after ending his eagle eye and precognition state.
"Warframe takes over! Navigate to the main runway."
The brainwave command was issued, and the black lightning that pounced on Mason turned its head coquettishly in the air and landed on the main runway. It wanted to break free and accelerated and ran, letting its ominous black light continuously hit the restraints of the Speed Force armor.
But the faster it runs, the higher the charging rate.
The similarly disgraced Lord Superman carried Mason and landed in front of the control panel of the Speed Force cannon. Then the two of them saw that the charging rate, which was already far behind the schedule, increased rapidly like a rocket.
This was obviously caused by Engineer Mason increasing the absorption intensity of the main runway before he overused his brain and "sudden death". Anyway, Black Lightning is a zombie, and as the embodiment of the dark side of the Speed Force, he is not afraid of being drained of energy.
It let out a low, hoarse roar.
Although he didn't understand zombie language, Mason was sure it must be a bad Speed Force swear word.
Hey, are you going to kiss your mother with this stinky mouth?
"Charging progress is 90%! Hurry up, baby."
Mason whistled, inputting the pre-launch command on the main console with his fingers, and glanced back at Black Lightning, who was still screaming and running wildly like a bad hamster on the main runway.
The set of Speed Force armor designed specifically for imprisonment has been overwhelmed by it. Even while running, you can see pieces of the armor constantly falling, and because of its "activity", it has caused the speed of the other seven speedsters on the runway to fall. The pressure I was under was relieved a lot at this moment.
It's a relentless running machine.
Well, it must be very useful for brushing exercise steps.
"Charging progress 105%!"
Half a minute later, Mason saw that the energy reading on the screen in front of him had reached the sky, and the main gun energy connected to the speed force storage devices of the eight runways even began to buzz.
The lord could clearly feel the dangerous energy in the instrument under his feet.
The threat of this thing going out of control makes this powerful Kryptonian man's hair stand on end. Once the restrained energy explodes, even he will be torn apart in an instant.
"That's enough! Mason, don't continue to charge, launch quickly!"
Lord Chao urged:
"Our world cannot withstand such a counterattack. If it continues, time in the entire region will be permanently disrupted."
"Don't worry, I set up five sets of energy redundancy just for this moment, isn't it?"
Mason wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared at the energy reading in front of him, waved his hands and said:
"Theoretically, its upper limit can be up to 500%. We only have one chance to launch it. Naturally, the more traces of the Speed Force we can project to other planes, the better.
These things dissipate, Clark.
The more we shoot now, the more time we have to deal with it later. ”
"I can understand what you mean."
Lord Chao sighed and said:
"But there are kids like little Iris and Wally here, don't say bad words, okay?"
"140%, 170%210%!"
Mason stared at the increasingly outrageous energy readings, and then looked back at the Black Lightning on the main runway, which had torn apart half of the cage armor with the impact of the speed force and was still roaring wildly.
The latter's speed has reached the limit that speedsters can reach, and the black speed force surrounding it has evolved into a weird black-gold color.
This made Mason say with some fear:
"It seems that I really annoyed it this time. In order to avoid it seeking revenge before, I might as well be more cruel."
The commander-in-chief grabbed the joystick that controlled the strength of the main runway, and pulled the joystick to the end while Lord Superman stared at him dumbfounded.
Full strength!
"Bang"
A cluster of sparks shot up from the front of the main runway, Black Lightning's angry roar immediately turned into a terrifying whimper, and the energy reading in front of Mason's eyes suddenly surged to 340%.
The three sets of energy redundancy equipment all issued piercing warnings, and the safety valve of the entire Speed Force cannon had been pushed to the limit. The violent vibrations reminded the lord of his childhood when he was held by his father and rode on a broken tractor on the Kent farm. an unforgettable experience.
At that time, he had vomited all afternoon, but today it was not something that could be solved by vomiting.
"Mason!"
Lord Chao also felt a rare sense of fear.
This energy concentration has reached a level that can tear open a black hole and destroy the solar system. The other speedsters have stopped running, but the energy concentration is still soaring.
Jesse Quick was screaming, but Hermes, the god of speed, had turned around and fled. Only Barry and Wally rushed forward to protect the two children with their bodies in preparation for the possible explosion.
Although they also know that in the face of this energy, the human body is too fragile.
"I know, I know, more!"
The captain took a deep breath, put his finger on the launch button, stared at the energy reading, and pressed the launch button the moment the latter climbed to 498%.
In front of the two people, the four vibranium and urujin-based guide rails with a little X metal added for reinforcement were instantly entangled with golden speed force sparks, and in the next moment, a golden stream of light that tore the sky was shot into the sky.
Just like the wonderful scene of two suns in the sky, the light cannon fired by Mason even blocked the sun's light at this moment.
Countless speed force fragments turned into light rain of different colors and fell from the sky. Amidst the continuous observation reports of the three leaders of the Ultimate K Team, Mason closed his eyes and opened his arms to embrace the scattered light in front of him.
Black Lightning, finally freed from the main runway, pounced on Mason with his claws and teeth bared.
But its body structure could no longer be maintained, and too much energy was extracted, causing it to begin to disintegrate the moment it jumped up, like black ashes falling.
At the moment when the high-speed vibrating fingers of his left hand were about to touch the back of Mason's heart, this terrifying god of death could only let out a cry of regret and anger, and finally turned into flying ashes and fell at Mason's feet.
"Cool, I'm probably the first ordinary person to defeat Black Lightning in history."
Mason turned around and blew away the ashes, turned to Lord Chao who was still looking blankly at the sky and said:
"I think I can be nicknamed the 'Speed Killer' again, huh? What are you looking at?"
"Sky! That thing in the sky, are you sure it is normal?"
"Huh?"
Mason looked back at the sky in surprise. After a few seconds, he expressed his thoughts with a sullen face:
"This level of space-time distortion was not planned, but we are not dead yet, so I guess it should be normal, right?" (End of Chapter)
