Chapter 214 Cosmic Treadmill, Speed ​​Force Cannon

"After my previous discussions and research with Barry, we found that there are countless relatively independent multiverses outside our universe."

In the watchtower of another universe, Cyborg slowly explained to everyone what the multiverse theory is.

"In principle, our various multiverses will not affect each other, and it is even difficult for them to intersect."

"However, under certain circumstances, channels for interconnection and shuttle between multiverses can be created."

"Just like the Speed ​​Force possessed by Barry, it is the main key to connecting the multiverse."

With the establishment of the Justice League, the wealthy Batman funded it, and various research facilities were relatively complete.

Cyborg has also studied the multiverse, and the Flash itself has the speed force to travel through time and the universe, so they are no stranger to the existence of the multiverse.

"Damn it, Barry was kidnapped by them and sent to another universe?"

It was a bit unbelievable for everyone to learn that the Flash was kidnapped by those people and sent to another multiverse.

"I think we need to first figure out why they invaded our universe and specifically kidnapped the Flash?"

Wonder Woman also raises a very important question. Most criminals have some kind of criminal motive, and why do these people from another universe want to kidnap the Flash?

"This is what I've always wondered, why they kidnapped Barry alone."

"And I noticed that they seemed to have made a very complete plan when they came this time. They should have come specifically for Barry and created a bank robbery just to lure Barry out."

Batman agrees with Wonder Woman's question. He thinks about it carefully, because their motivation may be the key to seeing the problem clearly.

"In fact, Barry once told me that in most universes, there are speedsters like the Flash. They control the Speed ​​Force and guard the universe in which they live."

"Because in a crisis that could destroy the entire universe, only The Flash has the power to reverse time and save the universe."

Cyborg slowly told what he knew.

"Could it be that their universe has encountered some kind of special crisis, so the Flash needs to reverse time and save the universe?"

At this moment, everyone remembered that not long ago, the Flash from their universe traveled from the future and summoned all of them to defeat Steppenwolf in advance.

It is precisely because of the existence of The Flash that they did not let their universe fall into a hellish doomsday.

"But, if this is really the case, then where did the Flash who protects their universe go?"

Neptune spoke slowly and asked the question in his heart.

"Maybe the Flash in their universe has disappeared for some special reason..."

"As a last resort, they can only come to kidnap our Flash to save their universe."

Cyborg guessed, but he didn't expect that his guess was actually very close to the answer to the question.

……

"Unfortunately, these are just our guesses."

"And the most important issue we face at this moment is that Barry has been kidnapped by them into their universe, and he doesn't know what kind of terrible experience he is facing alone."

"And we can only waste time on these unimportant things instead of going to help Barry!"

This was the first time that Superman felt so powerless as at this moment. He clenched his fist and slammed it on the conference table, which instantly caused the others to stop discussing this issue.

"Yes, no matter what the reason is, we must try our best to save Barry!"

Batman also said seriously, even without considering that the Flash had saved them all not long ago.

Just because they and Barry are fighting side by side, they absolutely cannot sit idly by while Barry is kidnapped.

"So, what exactly do we do now to save Barry from those people?"

Neptune stood up slowly and asked everyone. He also agreed in his heart to rescue Barry as soon as possible.

"Maybe we don't have no chance at all!"

"Although my research on the multiverse is still very shallow, I cannot use the power of technology to create a space channel connecting the multiverse."

Cyborg also slowly stood up, with a mysterious expression on his face.

"However, when I just cracked the device they left behind that can open the portal, I found that the device was not damaged and could still be used. It just lacked a special energy to open the portal. "

Cyborg looked at the device that could open the portal.

When he studied this device carefully, he felt a very familiar feeling in it, as if this special device had been created by him.

It's just that it was created by him in the future.

"Victor, are you sure you can restore it and successfully open the space-time channel?"

Clark's eyes were instantly attracted to Cyborg, and he asked him expectantly.

"Unfortunately, I can't find the special energy that can activate this transmission device at the moment. If Barry is still there, his Speed ​​Force should be the best energy to activate this device..."

However, there was a trace of regret on Victor's face. The person who made this device was obviously technologically superior to him today, and he had some kind of special energy to turn on the device instead of the Speed ​​Force.

"Farke, isn't this another deadlock?"

At this moment, Neptune clenched his fist and slammed it on the table with a look of anger and helplessness.

Fortunately, this conference table was made by Batman using some kind of special metal, otherwise it would have been smashed by the extremely powerful Superman and Aquaman at this moment.

"Do you need Speed ​​Force energy?"

However, compared to the disappointed expressions on the others' faces, Batman seemed thoughtful.

"Actually, there is a guy who controls the Speed ​​Force in our universe right now!"

Batman suddenly spoke, making everyone's eyes light up in disappointment.

……

At the same time, in another universe.

The Flash, Superman and others who kidnapped him looked at the huge black eyes outside the space station and above the earth, and did not speak for a long time.

"What exactly is this thing?"

After a long time, the Flash finally spoke and asked the most puzzling question in his mind.

"In fact, we still don't fully understand what this is!"

"Although it can be seen with the naked eye, it is not a material that can be touched. Humans once thought of using nuclear bombs to attack it, but it had no effect."

"The nuclear bomb passed through its surface without any impact and exploded inside it. The huge shock wave had no impact on it at all, as if the two were no longer in the same dimension."

At this moment, Superman, standing next to Barry, slowly opened his mouth to answer the Flash's inner questions.

"Only humans have thought about resisting, haven't you..."

"Of course we have taken action, I even flew into that darkness myself!"

Superman seems to know what the Flash wants to say. As heroes who protect the earth, they naturally cannot watch this huge black eye disrupt the harmony of the earth.

However, Superman seemed to recall an extremely bad memory, and there was even a hint of fear in his extremely determined eyes.

"However, the result was that I was almost completely lost there. I was bewitched by those weird eyes, which completely inspired the dark side in my heart and became a puppet controlled by the dark side!"

I don't know what kind of terrifying experience, even Superman almost lost himself in it, and almost became the opponent's puppet.

"How is this possible? You are a superman. How can you have..."

The Flash felt unbelievable. In his impression, Superman was the most sacred existence and should not have such a terrifying dark side.

However, as if he thought of something, the Flash suddenly stopped, because in their universe, he had personally experienced the horror of Superman's darkening.

"Yes, I am just a superman, not a god. My heart is full of complex emotions like a human being!"

Clark shook his head. He had never considered himself nobler than humans. He also had various emotions and desires in his heart.

However, he was able to suppress all kinds of desires and anger in his heart, and showed his kindness and protection for human beings.

Over time, humans even regarded him as a god-like existence.

"Barry, we have studied this special dark breath. It does not seem to be any kind of matter or energy that we know."

"But it can trigger the deepest dark side in the human heart. Anyone who has come into contact with this dark aura will find it difficult to escape its control and become a crazy puppet that is inspired by the dark side of the heart and controlled by it."

Cyborg slowly opened his mouth and explained.

"Some people call it the source of all evil in the world, and some people call it the opposite of light, the ultimate darkness."

"There are also some scientists who think it is just a special energy that we humans have not explored yet, such as dark matter and dark energy..."

"There are even some religious believers who regard him as a god, the supreme god who guides the evolution of all humans and leads to eternal life."

"Believers revel in its arrival, rushing to dedicate themselves to their gods to welcome the arrival of the great darkness!"

Cyborg spoke slowly about the extreme chaos caused by the appearance of this black eye, but his face seemed to have been numb.

"And this black eye has gradually grown with the dedication of countless people. In less than a month, it has spread from a diameter of only a few kilometers to nearly 10,000 kilometers, occupying the entire Nearly one-fifth the diameter of the Earth.”

"The earth even gradually stopped rotating under its shroud, and the side shrouded by it was forever plunged into extreme darkness!"

At this moment, just listening to their words, The Flash could feel the despair in their hearts.

Such a terrifying existence cannot be defeated and expelled by oneself at all.

"So, you kidnapped me, what exactly do you need me to do?"

At this moment, the Flash seems to have understood why they went to his own universe and kidnapped himself here.

Facing a crisis on the scale of universe destruction, it is not surprising to make any decision that has the chance to save the world.

Just like the last time, he forcibly reversed the time of the universe and saved the earth ruled by Darkseid.

"We have a plan, a plan that risks everything, but we don't know if it will succeed!"

Superman withdrew his gaze from those strange dark eyes, stared at The Flash closely, and then said in a very serious voice.

<divclass="contentadv">"And this plan needs your help!"

……

Soon after, they took the Flash into a special laboratory in the space station.

In the center of the laboratory, stands a device that looks very special.

The overall look is like a huge treadmill that has been expanded several times.

"What is this?"

The Flash walked around the giant "treadmill" and finally discovered that it seemed to be just a giant treadmill.

Of course, after all, The Flash himself has relatively little research on technology. In the Justice League organization, Cyborg is the researcher of all technologies.

"As you can see, it's a treadmill!"

Cyborg spoke slowly, finally confirming that this device was indeed just what it looked like, a treadmill.

"Of course, it is not a simple treadmill, but a cosmic treadmill specially created for speedsters!"

Then Cyborg added again.

"Cosmic treadmill? Created specifically for speedsters?"

At this moment, the Flash seems to know why they need his help.

"Yes, the cosmic treadmill can help speedsters establish a connection with the Speed ​​Force, concentrate the huge Speed ​​Force energy in their bodies, and cause them to burst out with unparalleled power. In some cases, the burst of power is enough to destroy The whole universe!”

Cyborg explains to The Flash how the cosmic treadmill works.

The Speed ​​Force itself is one of the fundamental forces that make up the existence of the universe.

If used properly, it can not only reverse the time and reality of the universe, but can even explode with power that destroys the entire universe.

"And our plan is for the speedster to run fast on the cosmic treadmill, condense a large enough speed force, and then use the amplification of this watchtower to gather it into a speed force cannon, and then attack the weird dark eye eye!"

"The speed force cannon has the ability to ignore time and space, and destroy everything from the source!"

"Perhaps only the Speed ​​Force cannon can attack the dark energy that is not in the same dimension and completely defeat the strange dark energy."

This is the special plan they made to eliminate that weird dark energy.

Use the treadmill to gather Speed ​​Force energy to recharge the Speed ​​Force cannon.

Then completely defeat the dark energy and return the earth to normal.

Of course, this is just the general direction of the plan, and there are many more detailed plans.

For example, after successfully eliminating the threat of that weird dark energy, how to restore the rotation of the earth, as well as the continents and oceans that may be polluted, and how to deal with those humans who actively or passively dedicate themselves to that dark energy.

If they cannot recover as the source of darkness disappears, cruel means may have to be used to wipe them all out in order to completely eliminate all threats.

And this will be a very painful and difficult decision for them.

As for restoring the earth's operation, it is naturally up to Superman to complete it.

At that time, he will venture into the core of the sun and absorb sufficient energy.

Then it exploded with its most powerful force, thus pushing the stopped earth to continue to rotate slowly.

"You guys are so crazy!"

At this moment, even the Flash, after hearing their entire plan, couldn't help but feel strongly shocked by their crazy plan.

"I'm sorry, we don't have any other options!"

It's not that Superman and others want to make such a crazy plan.

The dark energy is really too weird.

It's so weird that they have tried countless methods and plans, but they can't dispel it, or even have any impact on it, or even cause it to cause a trace of chaos.

At the beginning, after they tried countless methods and failed to make any progress, Superman ignored the advice of others and insisted on entering it himself.

Finally, under the influence of the dark aura, the dark side in his heart exploded.

The Flash who once sacrificed because of them has become a lingering regret and nightmare in Superman's heart.

He blamed everything on Batman, believing that it was Batman's actions that led to the Flash's sacrifice.

He almost became a puppet of that strange energy. In the end, with Batman dying in front of it, he finally awakened the bewitched Superman.

At that moment, even though Superman felt extremely regretful, it was already too late.

……

"No wonder I haven't seen the Batman in your universe yet!"

It was only at this moment that the Flash finally understood why there was no Flash or Batman in the Justice League of this universe.

It turns out that they have all sacrificed themselves for the sake of this universe.

The Flash understands that when they formed the Justice League and dedicated themselves to protecting the safety of the entire universe, they were already destined to protect the safety of the universe at any cost.

Even if they unfortunately died in the process, they had no regrets.

But he was equally sad and sad for their sacrifice.

I also understand the situation of the remaining people.

In addition to watching the earth being engulfed by the strange dark energy, they have no choice but to give it a try and formulate a plan to save their world at any cost.

"Okay, I now understand your situation and the entire plan."

The Flash's eyes were fixed on the huge cosmic treadmill, seeming to be deep in thought.

"Barry, in order to complete our plan, we have no choice but to kidnap you from another universe!"

"However, this does not mean that we will force you to help us complete this plan that we don't know whether it will succeed."

"We just wanted a chance."

"An opportunity to complete the plan and save this place!"

"In fact, we cannot deny that this approach is somewhat selfish and has a sense of moral kidnapping!"

"And you don't need to care about this, just follow your heart and decide whether to help us complete this plan!"

"If you refuse, then you can completely return to the universe where you are and forget everything that happened before. We will never stop you from leaving."

Superman looked at the meditating Flash and spoke slowly and firmly.

Later, he directly asked Cyborg to open a space portal, leading to the universe where The Flash once lived.

The rest of the people didn't stop this, because this was the decision they made before heading to another universe.

They can give up their moral bottom line and be selfish for the sake of their own universe.

However, you cannot force anyone to make a choice they don't want to make.

What's more, it's unclear whether this plan will succeed.

If it fails, it may lead to a worse situation, and even all of them may die because of the failure of the plan.

Therefore, they decided to leave all choices to The Flash himself.

If their universe is lucky, the Flash will stick around to help them complete their plan.

And if they are unlucky, then there is no need to continue.

……

There is no doubt that this is a critical moment that determines the fate of all of them.

Everyone present looked closely at the Flash, waiting for his final decision.

Although their faces were expressionless, they did not want to put too much pressure on the Flash.

But their hearts were completely opposite to their plain expressions, they were very nervous.

After all, the Flash's choice determines their fate and that of the entire Earth.

Time passed by second by second.

The Flash was still deep in thought and didn't make his choice quickly.

For everyone, every second at this moment is as long as days and years.

The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!

No one made a sound, interrupting Flash's thinking and choice.

There is only a portal that shines with blue light and makes a "buzzing" sound from time to time, which seems to remind the Flash that he can choose to return to his universe at any time.

"Unfortunately, I reject your plan!"

Suddenly, the silent scene was broken by a voice. The moment the Flash's words rang out, although everyone tried their best to hide it, they still couldn't hide the disappointment in their hearts.

"I'm sorry, Barry, it was us who caused unnecessary trouble to you. You can now return to your universe..."

Superman looked calm, as if he didn't care about Flash's rejection, pointed at the portal in front, and apologized to Flash.

"You may have misunderstood. What I reject is just the plan you made!"

However, the Flash did not walk directly into the space portal. Instead, he turned around and looked at everyone and said slowly.

"Actually, I think I have a better plan than you!"
