Chapter 299 Some regrets can never be made up

Albert Swan sat in his cage. His name was Reverse Flash. He had been chasing the reflection of the Flash for many years.

And at this moment, the person standing in front of him was Batman.

"A set of Flash uniforms?"

Reverse Flash looked down at what Batman threw to him and sneered.

His hood had been taken off by Batman at this time, and Reverse Flash lowered his head, letting his messy brown hair hang down on his forehead:

"What tricks are you playing again, Batman?"

"Oh, wait. Let me guess first."

He suddenly waved his hand to stop Chen Tao from speaking, and then said: "You want me to help you do this and that?"

"Don't even think about it."

He said: "It's ridiculous."

He almost didn't give Chen Tao a chance to speak: "Come on, how are you going to convince me? Threaten? Or use the bargaining chip to let me return to the future?"

He looked at the other party: "You can mention it. But you know it's all in vain."

"If you don't help me, then I can only go to the Flash."

Then he heard Batman's voice sounded calmly:

"Think about it, this is an opportunity. An opportunity to become a hero completely."

Reverse Flash said nothing.

"Isn't this what you wanted? To be a hero. You will have a place in history, starring in a chapter of the great epic. You have wanted to replace the Flash countless times, and now this opportunity is in front of you." Reverse Flash responded with silence. Seeing that Swan was not moved, Chen Tao's voice became a little gloomy again: "Don't think of yourself as so important, Swan. I will never use you as the last trump card. You know I have the turtle and the gorilla Grodd." "So you go and use them, why do you look for me?" Reverse Flash said. He looked at Batman: "Your behavior is very strange, very strange. Why must I be the one?" Then he saw Batman's body flashing green light, strands of green entangled around his body, and finally condensed into the appearance of Green Lantern, the green lantern symbol from Oa Star and the batarang on Batman's chest merged together. The other party stretched out his hand, and soon the ring on his hand began to tremble slightly, and then a green lantern ring was copied. This is one of the many functions of the Green Lantern Ring. By creating temporary replicas, other people can also have the ability of Green Lantern.

Sinestro has used this trick many times in the history of comics, and even helped Hal Jordan continue to use the power of Green Lantern after being expelled from the Green Lantern Corps.

"This is a Green Lantern Ring. You can control it with willpower. It can provide you with a certain degree of protection by materializing armor."

Chen Tao told Reverse Flash: "You can choose to rot here, or you can choose to do something else."

"In short... I leave the things to you."

He threw the ring in front of Reverse Flash, along with the Flash's uniform.

Then he didn't say anything more, and disappeared behind the golden vortex portal in front of Reverse Flash.

Only Reverse Flash was left alone, staring blankly at the things in front of him.

...

...

...

I am Superboy Prime.

I feel like I am flowing.

The world has changed in my eyes, gentle and familiar.

That is my world...

The golden age of many heroes. Every hero's soul is as bright as gold.

Then I saw the broken things.

I know what people say about me. I am a great devil who wants to destroy the world. I try to destroy reality and reshape a new world. I am a murderer who wants to murder hundreds of millions of people. I crushed the Justice League and killed the heroes who were admired and loved by people.

I let their warm blood splash on my face. I am a butcher with blood on my hands.

I know, I know everything.

But... I did those things for a reason.

Everything I did was to bring them back... her back.

I was born in the Origin Universe, where all superheroes are characters in comic books.

My girlfriend Laurie was my world until the end of the world.

I will always remember that bonfire party at the beach, but it was the first time I discovered my superpowers.

That night, I looked up at the sky all night, and I heard some strange sounds, as if someone was calling my name in the sky, as if someone needed my help.

So I jumped and fell.

I'll never forget that first fall.

Laurie lifted me off the ground, she chuckled and said to me "Nice try, Superboy."

Yes...I think that's what she said at the time.

Her eyes held all the beauty of the starry sky. Her kiss smelled good and felt like an electric shock, no matter how many times.

That night we walked along the beach together, we talked for hours, about our fears, our hopes, the future we shared, we talked about getting married, getting a dog, having children, even though I felt something was pulling me, calling me.

Then I saw the meteorite.

I flew, I had super powers.

I flew into the night sky, where I met Superman, Clark Kent, who was also flying. He was from another Earth. I had read in comics that there were an infinite number of parallel Earths in the multiverse, I just didn't know that it was all true.

I was happy to join him to save the universe.

Everything I had read about, everyone I had read about, I had seen in person, and Superman told me that I had the power to help them save all realities from the threats I had been reading about for months.

And as we fought, the multiverse collapsed into a single universe, I was not there, but I knew that Laurie died, and my parents, my friends...

All gone.

I never had the chance to say goodbye to Laurie.

I tried hard to accept this fact... but when a few years later, I had the opportunity to revive Laurie, and everyone else...

I had to try.

I suffered a lot of pain, and I vented it.

Then I was forced to kill many heroes, and I became a monster.

This has brought me to where I am now.

But you know what's the funniest thing?

I didn't care a long time ago.

I've seen many people die and come back to life.

Superman (the big event of "The Death of Superman"), Batman (Batman "died" in "Final Crisis", but it was just an illusion), Green Lantern (Hal once died with the Sun Eater in "End of Night"), the second generation of Robin (Jason Todd, also known as Red Hood, died in "Death of the Family", and was resurrected by Superboy Prime who smashed reality with one fist)...

Some people were even killed by me, but the timeline was restarted and they were all resurrected.

So...what's the big deal?

Is there really anything important?

I mean, the timeline will always restart, every few years, and even faster and faster in the past two years. No one's choice has any meaning, because as long as time restarts, everything before will be overturned, and those things that really happened will be covered by new history and become "things that never happened".

So what's the meaning of this history?

I don't know.

There is no point for those heroes to fight against me. Since the timeline and history will always be rewritten, why can't I write a better ending?

When Chen Tao and Darkseid returned to Apokolips, they saw Superboy Prime sitting quietly on top of a ruin, with the corpses of demons everywhere under his feet.

Corpses piled up, blood flowed like a river, and countless green blood gathered into a pool of blood under Chen Tao's feet, dripping endlessly. Chen Tao tiptoed and stepped over a demon that was still alive.

He could even feel the opponent's muscles trembling under his feet.

He raised his head and looked at Superboy Prime standing on the top. He showed his god-like indifference and arrogance, looking down at his opponent.

The Blood Slaughter Bull, who should have completely controlled the opponent's mind, had now turned into a half-real and half-virtual shadow, constantly condensing not far behind Superboy Prime, circling and circling in the air like a snake, but dared not approach the opponent's body.

The Superboy Prime in front of him had already forced the Blood Slaughter Bull out of his body by himself.

"No! Please! Don't drive me away, you need me!"

The angry emotional energy of the lamp beast is like a drug addict who is addicted to flour.

It can't stop eating Superboy Prime, but some huge deterrence still makes it afraid. It looks at Superboy Prime from a distance and dares not go beyond the line.

This may be because Superboy Prime has clenched his fist, or it may be because of the huge canyon next to him that has appeared on Apocalypse and was blasted out by the fist.

Chen Tao guessed that the blood slaughter bull must have eaten a few punches from Superboy Prime just now. Even if the lamp beast is difficult to destroy, it will definitely not be a fun experience to be hit by Superboy Prime's fist.

In the multiverse, any god who can change reality, whether it is Perpetua or Dr. Manhattan, their changes to reality are based on various strange powers, such as crisis energy, anti-crisis energy, and so on...

But Superboy Prime is different.

He changes the universe purely by brute force, pure power.

Therefore, even if he had not returned to his prime, his attack was no small matter.

Prime's eyes were focused on Darkseid's rock face.

The Lord of Apokolips originally intended to continue to maintain his signature expressionless face, but soon gave up.

He subconsciously raised his fist and raised it flat above his chest.

The Prime Superboy who regained his sanity was more terrifying than him in his manic state. If the former was just a crazy beast, furiously attacking everything around him, now he was a willful child who broke the universe with a temper, a child with his own hatred and joys and sorrows, which was far more terrifying than a beast that attacked everyone indiscriminately.

"Darkseid."

Prime Superboy said, his eyes swept over the Lord of Apokolips and stopped on Chen Tao:

"Batman."

Then he said concisely:

"I'm going to kill you all."

"Use whatever method you have, Batman."

Darkseid whispered to Chen Tao: "He is now in extreme danger."

He looked at the calm face of Superboy-Prime with fear. Darkseid, who always liked to act expressionless to intimidate others, finally met a calm face that was more creepy than his.

Then he turned his head and saw Batman looking at him with a smile, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

"You still want me to make the first move? Do you think I have reservations?"

Darkseid said:

"Don't joke, if I have the ability to deal with Superboy-Prime, I won't cooperate with you."

"You actually have an idea in your mind, don't you, Darkseid? The first moment you see me."

Black and red lightning wrapped around Chen Tao's body, and the turtle man and gorilla Grodd in countless distant spaces almost groaned at the same time.

As the red and gold figures appeared on the battlefield, Chen Tao stood in front of Darkseid.

And Darkseid also cooperated very well and summoned the black runner again. He cooperated so tacitly, as if it was not him who said that I couldn't deal with Superboy-Prime.

Chen Tao carefully looked at the black runner standing quietly beside him.

It represents the inevitable death of life. It is the specific side of the rule of death. Just as the second sister of the Endless Family represents the death free from pity and sympathy, the Black Death Emperor represents the inevitable end of the universe and the ultimate opponent of living things.

But in the previous battle, he still had difficulty breaking through the defense of Superboy Prime. But Superboy Prime was still going crazy at that time, but now he has regained his composure. If Darkseid summons it again, even with the cooperation of Batman Chen Tao, can it still cause any harm to Superboy Prime?

Chen Tao let out a long breath.

He raised his head and looked into the deep red eyes of Superboy Prime.

"Prime Superboy." He called the other person by name, and then said: "I know what you want to do." He said sincerely: "I know how you feel. The ability to tamper with history and change the past at will is so fascinating, but once used, it is like opening Pandora's box. When you change it for the first time, you want to change it for the second time, and the second time, you want to change it for the third time." "However..." "There are too many things in life worth regretting, and they cannot be changed one by one." He said: "Stop it, while it's not too late, this is my last advice to you." "I..." But before Prime Superboy could speak, he saw the other person's face turned into his own.
