Chapter 303: The Manifest Destiny, Long Awaited (Part 1) 5000 words long chapter

My name is Barry Allen, and I am now participating in the biggest cosmic war in my superhero career.

I thought that in such a war, the main thing I would do is to fight against powerful enemies with my superhero friends, defeat the villains, be annihilated, or return victoriously.

But now... I am just waiting and can't do anything.

"I have to help Diana and the others."

Flash said to Killer Croc standing beside him:

"I can't just wait here, or I will help Batman."

"Batman's original words are to ask 'Diana and Hal and the others' to ignore the ceasefire agreement with Darkseid and subdue Steppenwolf first. Pay attention to his personnel arrangement, which does not require you to participate in the war, but to let you wait here."

Killer Croc said: "Although he didn't tell me what he wanted you to do, I believe he has kept you here for a reason."

At this time, they appeared in another building that had been built in the Red of All Creatures. Beside them, Gorilla Grodd and Turtle were tied in two transparent ball cages as "batteries".

Flash always felt that the two looked a little dull, as if their thinking reactions were a beat slower -

Seriously, did Batman really not inject them with any drugs to prevent them from having any weird moths?

He turned his eyes to another cage, where the translucent meditation mite was lying half dead. Barry Allen thought that the psychological trauma was more serious for this magic worm than the physical injuries.

It is worth noting that the outsides of the cages of the three villains were connected to the cosmic treadmill not far away. Flash understood that Batman could extend the time he turned into that "super transformation form" through Gorilla Grodd and Turtle Man. The essential principle of this operation is to use the speed force and stasis force to slow down the time around the other party, while speeding up the speed of the person himself, so as to distribute the consumption to the two villains... At least that's what Batman said.

But meditation mites? What does all this have to do with him? Why was he also connected to the treadmill?

Well, Batman never tells him anything.

Barry showed a depressed expression like Flash. He turned to look at the big crocodile with his arms folded.

"But I've been waiting for too long." Flash said, "I think we should contact each other and ask..."

But as soon as he said that, he met the big crocodile's lifelike Batman-like gaze and was immediately defeated.

"Okay, okay, I know Batman has his own arrangements, but I'm just worried." As he said this, he ran to the side at the fastest speed on earth, and then poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all.

Poison Ivy, who was waiting nearby, said, "Hey, you know that when you drink tea, it looks to me like you're drinking human body parts?"

The Flash paused for a moment, and his first reaction was to apologize, "Ah, sorry, I didn't know..."

His reaction made Poison Ivy laugh out loud, "It's okay, just kidding. I'm long past the age of an extreme plant protectionist."

(Note: In the early comics, Poison Ivy completely regarded plants as humans, and seeing any plant products was like murder remains to her, but she was no longer so extreme in the later comics.)

She said, "I used to regard plants as..."

She was about to talk about her life experience in Gotham City for decades, and then her mental journey from villain to superhero, but her words were interrupted by the violent wailing of Gorilla Grodd and Turtle Man.

She immediately looked at Killer Croc.

"Batman is using the transformation called Red Death." Poison Ivy whispered.

She summoned a vine and controlled the computer next to her: "And he said that he would soon give us orders through the remote communication of the Metal Spirit..."

Ziziz...

Almost the next second after Poison Ivy turned the computer, a green Batman head composed of countless zeros and ones appeared on the screen.

"Give him the thing I prepared...Ziziz...Boom boom boom boom..."

The other party's voice seemed very distant and intermittent, and there were violent explosions from time to time.

Killer Croc immediately pressed on the wall, and then a thing made of all metal, like an octopus, was taken out of the wall.

The appearance of this thing is like a ring with seven or eight tentacles of metal tentacles.

"Flash, Barry Allen...Ziziz...Take this. It is the technology of Reverse Flash and Gorilla City, which can help you absorb the speed of others."

When the Flash heard Batman's voice, the voice of the communication gradually became clear: "I need you to do something dangerous."

The Flash didn't say a word. He took the octopus-like machine from Killer Croc, fixed the middle ring in front of the lightning symbol on his Flash uniform, and the other metal tentacles immediately attached to his body.

Although it was the first time he saw this machine, with the super speed blessed by the Speed ​​Force, he quickly figured out how to wear it.

There was a "+" on one side of the octopus machine, and that side was smaller than the other side, which meant that this side should be facing outwards. The metal tentacles that automatically attached to his body also showed that he was wearing it correctly.

"What should I do?"

He asked.

"You put the prop on wrong."

But then he heard Batman say: "Don't worry. Killer Croc, help him put it on correctly."

Killer Croc came over, pulled the octopus machine off Barry's body, then turned it over and put it on him in the same way.

Barry looked down and saw that the "+" that was originally facing outwards had become "-". It turned out that the narrow side of the ring was facing the human body instead of the wide side.

This design is a bit strange, making people look like they have a small trumpet on their chest.

But Barry didn't care about such details. He asked, "So do I need to join the battle?"

"Yes."

Then he heard Batman talking, and saw Killer Croc come over and press the octopus machine twice. Soon, the machine turned into countless tiny metal particles with a metallic mechanical sound, and began to attach to his whole body, and finally changed color to look like the Flash uniform. It was equivalent to Barry wearing a uniform, but then he put on a layer of identical clothes on the outside...

It was exactly the same as the Flash uniform that Chen Tao gave to Reverse Flash before.

"Yes, Flash, Barry Allen."

Barry heard Batman's voice:

"Destiny has been waiting for you for a long time."

……

……

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!”

Blood spilled in the sky.

The indestructible body of Superboy Prime was cut open, and he screamed hoarsely.

Darkseid's previous continuous punches only made him bleed from the nose, and the previous attack by the black runner only caused a crack in his extremely hard body.

But the Black Runner possessed by Reverse Flash really hurt him.

And Reverse Flash was not much better.

Unlike Superman Prime who was only injured, the Reverse Flash possessed by the Black Runner had half of his body turned into subatomic particles due to the high-speed impact, and the remaining half of his body was exposed. The situation was so tragic that it was comparable to Hughie's girlfriend who was hit into pieces by a train in the movie "The Boys".

With such an injury, no matter who it was, they would be dead. Although the speedster has the ability to heal himself, he is not Marvel's Wolverine.

However, the Black Runner soon repaired his body and let him stand there as if nothing had happened.

"It's terrible..."

Reverse Flash looked down at his hands: "There is a voice... A voice is telling me that they all have to die. They must die."

He staggered and lowered his head, covering his head: "Stop shouting!"

"Die die die die die die die die die..."

"Enough!"

Reverse Flash felt that his self-will was constantly being devoured by the Black Runner, the embodiment of death. At this moment, his heart was calm, as if nothing could arouse his interest.

This is wrong.

It's too wrong.

He can't become like this. If he continues like this, he will completely become a puppet of the Black Runner, no longer have self-awareness, and will simply become a tool to spread death.

He can't accept such an end!

"The things Batman gave me..."

He raised his palm with force. This simple action now weighs a thousand pounds on him.

But he did it after all. In the portable extra-dimensional space that was opened, a handful of green and shiny Lazarus Pond water was poured on his forehead, making him emit some black mist like steam like a tempered sword.

"Not enough, not enough... Leave me now!"

But Reverse Flash still couldn't stop his freedom from being swallowed up. He panicked and angrily grabbed the swamp monster tuber that Batman had prepared for him in advance and put it in his mouth to chew, but the next second even the panic and anger were fading.

"Calm down, calm down... Batman told me that I can fight the control of the black runner with my will... He even gave me the green lantern ring."

Reverse Flash sat cross-legged, and the green lantern ring emitted a dazzling green light on his palm, wrapping it like a cocoon.

"I need to fight the black runner with my will... Batman said that if Flash can do it, then I can do it..."

"I have to reawaken my emotions, those most intense emotions..."

Reverse Flash held his head and tried hard to recall things that could arouse his emotions.

He first thought about his most famous discovery of the Speed ​​Force, the things he was most proud of, the milestones of his life.

"Speed ​​Equation, Superluminal Particles, Reverse Speed ​​Force, Speed ​​9 Enhancement Potion."

It was useless.

"The pitiful eyes of the Flash."

With a bang, a fierce anger attacked the heart of the Reverse Flash. Just thinking of such a scene made him jump up from the ground. With a deafening roar, the Reverse Flash, who had angered himself, roared and tore his body apart. With the blessing of the Green Lantern Ring, he dispelled the power of the black runner with willpower alone.

The black shadow was forced to leave his body and disappeared into the void like a lost dog.

And the Reverse Flash also lay on the ground exhausted, feeling his legs weak, and the whole person seemed to be hollowed out, unable to speak a word.

The Flash uniform on him also turned into countless metal particles and faded away at this time, falling to the ground like a living metal creature, first turning into an octopus-like machine, and then immediately turning back into the red uniform.

The Green Lantern Ring automatically opened the other-dimensional space without the control of Reverse Flash, and the Flash uniform grew legs and crawled into it, and soon disappeared.

But Reverse Flash didn't care about these.

Although every bone in his body hurt as if it was hit by Superboy Prime, he was still full of joy in his heart, because the fact in front of him was just as Batman said, he was seriously injured.

In this physical condition, he is absolutely unable to participate in the next battle.

"Destiny... Destiny is waiting for me." Reverse Flash turned over, panting, barely stood up from the ground, and moved little by little to leave the battlefield.

Now things are very clear.

Superboy Prime has been severely injured by him, and the alliance of Darkseid and Batman has won a great victory.

And this probably means that the battle between the two of them is about to begin.

Batman might not be able to defeat Darkseid, so he would definitely summon the entire Justice League to fight alongside him.

And he had previously taught Flash the trick of exiling the enemy to a parallel universe and then imprisoning him forever.

Fate is really the greatest director!

Reverse Flash suppressed his inner joy and ecstasy, limping away from the battlefield. He felt that his physical condition was a little better, so he began to run at a very slow speed for him, but even so, he was faster than the train.

He had to hide in a safe place and wait quietly for the outcome of the battle.

On the other side of the battlefield, the situation was similar to what Reverse Flash expected.

Superboy Prime half-knelt on the ground.

The black runner incarnated by Reverse Flash penetrated his body and tore his body apart like cardboard.

No matter how majestic the biological stance was for anyone, it was shattered, and Superboy Prime completely lost the power to resist.

He gasped and made a hoarse sound as blood poured back into his lungs.

Darkseid got up from the ground and touched his cheek, which had been beaten until now.

Batman stood beside him and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Be careful."

He heard Batman say: "Even the current Prime Superboy is still dangerous enough."

Of course Darkseid knew, otherwise he would have just taken action.

Although Prime Superboy looked painful and seriously injured, Darkseid dared to guarantee that if he really thought so and rushed up to try to kill him stupidly, he would definitely die ugly.

Such an attack weakened the opponent at most. Prime Superboy was injured and weakened...

But it does not mean that he became stronger.

But at the same time...

Darkseid turned his head and tried desperately to hide the fiery color in his eyes.

Batman snapped his fingers.

Then, beside him, a sonic boom channel connecting the earth and Apokolips opened, and the Flash walked out of it.

Barry didn't say much nonsense, he knew very well that this was not the time to talk nonsense. He glanced at Darkseid, and then immediately came to Batman to receive the task.

Chen Tao also began to develop Batman's traditional art of instructing Flash to do things.

"Run around Apokolips."

Flash heard Batman whisper to him: "Release your extreme speed."

"Why should I run around the entire planet?"

"It's just an insurance, Barry. I need you to do this, help. Keep in touch at all times."

Flash nodded, and disappeared with a swish.

"I just need Flash to help me charge and use his speed force to speed me up."

Darkseid heard Batman whisper to explain to him, but the perfunctory meaning in it was almost beyond words. The Lord of Apokolips could guess with his toes that Batman was talking nonsense.

But... it doesn't matter.

No matter what Batman is planning, it doesn't matter.

Darkseid's eyes burned with the flames of the Omega effect, he shot out a curved ray, and Superboy Prime resisted with heat vision.

"Prime Superboy has become weaker."

He heard Batman say to him: "Next, I will open the transmission channel and work with you to paste him back to the origin wall. Prime Superboy will stay on the wall again, forever."

Prime Superboy's eyes lit up red, and he also heard the conversation between Batman and Darkseid.

Burning rage filled his heart. Although he was unable to move due to his injury, he still didn't want to say a word, and then his bowl-sized hot eyes sprayed directly at the two of them.

Boom!

As Darkseid used the Omega ray to take the opponent's attack again, a violent explosion occurred.

The Blood Slaughter Bull, who had been circling outside Apokolips and waiting endlessly, also received the news from Batman at this time, and timely re-possessed the Prime Superboy who had lost the power to resist, and took control of the opponent's body again.

"Ugh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Prime Superboy roared in pain, and visions reappeared before his eyes. He immediately ignored his injuries and furiously blasted his hot eyes and anger at the empty air next to him.

"Yes, yes, Prime Superboy will climb up the wall, forever."

Darkseid said.

He looked at the Prime Superboy in the distance, spraying heat vision, and hitting the ground that had been cut into pieces again, and it began to rain rocks.

He turned his head, wanting to see the panic expression on Batman's face.

"But don't you think... it's too wasteful?"

Huh...

Time seemed to stop suddenly.

The Prime Superboy, who was still destroying in the distance, suddenly stopped his fists, and red flames of the Omega Effect appeared in his eyes.

Darkseid put his hands behind his back, turned his head, flew into the air, and looked down at Batman who had just stood with him.

The Prime Superboy, who had been completely controlled by the Omega Effect, flew to the side of Darkseid.

"Do you think I was just fighting just now?"

Darkseid was stunned.

He heard Batman seem to be saying his own lines.

"Whatever tricks you have, Batman," he said, "those are as ridiculous as children's games."

"That's really terrible." Chen Tao said.

Darkseid didn't quite understand Batman's attitude at this time. Didn't he have any concerns at all?

Then the golden portal opened, and Reverse Flash was pulled over again with a confused look on his face.
