Chapter 221 The power of darkness swallows everything
At this moment, Cyborg, who had been extremely excited after seeing that the Speed Force energy could really hit the ball of dark energy, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Because the speed force energy did not dispel the strange darkness as they expected.
Instead, the moment the speed force energy beam hit the ball of dark energy, it seemed to give the ball of dark energy sufficient nutrients and food, causing it to begin to expand rapidly.
In just an instant, it expanded from covering only a small half of the earth to enough to cover the entire earth.
In an instant, the entire earth was enveloped by that dark energy, and the sunlight was blocked.
The originally normal world was completely plunged into absolute darkness at this moment.
It was as if the whole world had completely fallen at this moment.
"No, what is going on? Why did our plan not have any effect, but instead contributed to the growth of dark energy?"
At this moment, everyone felt unbelievable about the situation.
They couldn't figure out why the plan they made not only showed no signs of success, but even made the whole situation more serious.
The power of darkness seemed to be greatly increased, expanding dozens of times in an instant.
In fact, it is still spreading outward at an extremely fast speed, as if swallowing the entire earth is not its real purpose.
Its plan is to devour the Earth and the entire universe beyond.
"Damn it, we gotta stop it!"
Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded by what they saw.
But they quickly came to their senses and knew that they must not continue like this, otherwise not only would they not be able to save their earth, but they would even cause the entire universe to fall completely.
However, even in their hearts they thought of stopping the continued expansion of the dark energy.
But things are not as simple as they imagined.
Previously, in order to prevent this mass of dark energy from swallowing the earth, they even kidnapped the Flash from another universe, used the cosmic treadmill to create powerful Speed Force energy, and activated the Speed Force cannon.
However, there was no doubt at this moment that their plan had failed.
The speed force energy can indeed cross the dimensional space to the extent that they could not attack the dark energy before.
However, that's all.
Not only was the speed force energy unable to dispel the darkness, it even seemed to be the nutrient for the darkness energy, helping it to grow.
……
"Useless struggles and ignorant plans will only lead to greater destruction in the end!"
At this time, in the void that they could not detect, a blue figure was staring at the growing darkness. After swallowing the entire earth, it continued to spread outwards, as if it was about to swallow the entire universe.
All developments did not exceed his original expectations at all.
The course of the universe will not be rewritten due to individual efforts.
This universe is destined not to be saved. It has become a certainty that the universe will fall in endless darkness.
And the plans of those people will not only fail to stop the invasion of darkness, but will intensify the growth of darkness.
"The Speed Force, an important force in the origin of the universe, transcends the dimensions of time and space, connects countless individual universe realities across the entire multiverse, and is the most mysterious and powerful almighty force in the universe..."
"But now, it has become the biggest accomplice in the universe being swallowed by darkness!"
The blue figure looked at the strange darkness that was constantly devouring the energy of the Speed Force and growing rapidly, and knew in his heart the reason why it could grow so quickly.
Just as the nature of that weird dark energy actually transcends the dimensions of the universe, it is completely unaffected by most forces in the universe.
This is also the real reason why it can ignore all attacks and cannot be dispelled.
However, the Speed Force is also an energy that can transcend the dimensions of the universe, so it can come into contact with that weird dark energy.
But it is a pity that the level of dark energy is not weaker than the Speed Force, and it also has the property of swallowing everything.
Therefore, the result is like this now. After swallowing a large amount of the Speed Force, the power of darkness continues to grow.
And more importantly, this also leads to the fact that the dark power can, like the Speed Force, draw more powerful power from countless cosmic dimensions to strengthen itself.
And this will also lead to an extremely terrifying result, that is, the speed at which this mass of dark energy engulfs the universe will accelerate infinitely.
"Perhaps the scene of complete destruction of the multiverse that I saw will actually take place in the near future."
The figure whose whole body shines with blue fluorescence is Dr. Manhattan, who is infinitely close to the existence of a god.
He himself is not a person in this universe.
But it comes from a universe that has been destroyed.
In that universe, there was no hero like Superman, nor was there the famous Justice League.
But in that universe, there are also watchmen who protect justice and villains who disrupt the order of the world.
And Dr. Manhattan is the most powerful existence among them.
His birth was due to an accident.
His body was completely destroyed by an experimental accident, but fortunately, his consciousness and thinking survived and entered another realm, an almost god-like realm.
He gained great power like a god.
Able to manipulate everything in the material world at will, he reshaped his body in the material world.
Later, he discovered that his abilities were infinitely close to those of a god. He could control everything and even predict the future.
He discovered that the universe he was in would eventually be destroyed.
But he himself paid the price of becoming a god and possessing powerful power, and he continued to lose the emotions he had as a human being.
In the end, he was even able to watch his own universe go to destruction without any expression on his face.
But he himself left the destroyed universe and moved towards a broader realm.
Wandering among the endless multiverses, witness the history of countless universes, from decline to prosperity, and from prosperity to destruction.
The history of the universe is just like a dull movie to him.
It was completely unable to stir up the emotional fluctuations in his heart.
Until, he felt a hidden dark power blending into this ordinary universe.
Only then did he arouse a hint of interest in his heart.
Then come to this universe and feel the purpose of that dark energy.
Unexpectedly, the moment he entered the universe, he predicted that the universe was destined to be destroyed and swallowed by darkness.
Even the endless universes other than this one will also be swallowed up by that weird darkness!
……
Just as Dr. Manhattan was watching the darkness engulfing the reality of the universe with a calm face.
Cyborg and others have tried their best to stop the power of darkness that is constantly expanding outwards.
To do this, they even used the sealed Apokolips Mother Box, regardless of the rules previously established by the Justice League.
Mobilize the almost inexhaustible and endless energy in the Apokolips Mother Box to prevent the darkness from expanding outward.
However, they were doomed.
Even after devouring the Speed Force, the dark energy with the same characteristics as the Speed Force has been able to come into contact with the reality of this cosmic dimension.
Completely swallowing the entire Mother Box, it gained even greater power, causing the spread of darkness to accelerate again instantly.
<divclass="contentadv">In less than a few seconds, the watchtower space station in space was swallowed up by eyes that shocked everyone but were filled with unwillingness.
Everything within the entire space station was almost instantly swallowed up by dark energy.
Even though Cyborg and the others did not stop resisting before dying, they still could not stop the general trend of being swallowed by darkness.
Completely engulfed by that extreme darkness in an instant.
"Everything is doomed after all, and the trend is irreversible..."
Looking at the Watchtower Space Station, which represents humanity's last hope, being swallowed up by darkness, Dr. Manhattan has already foreseen the final result of the complete collapse of the universe.
"Huh? There are still people who survived in the darkness?"
However, just as Dr. Manhattan was preparing to leave this universe destined to be swallowed by darkness.
But suddenly I felt that in the reality swallowed by endless darkness, there seemed to be one person surviving.
This made him, who had always been expressionless, show curiosity for the first time.
The next moment, his entire body instantly dissipated and turned into a blue starlight.
Immediately, the starlight disappeared into the endless darkness, heading towards the surviving breath.
"Huh? It's actually him..."
As Dr. Manhattan went deep into the endless dark energy, he finally saw the existence that survived the endless darkness.
And the survivor was the Flash who had had a relationship with Dr. Manhattan before and came from another universe and attempted to modify the timeline.
"It's a pity that he still can't escape the fate of being swallowed by darkness. The Speed Force can only protect him for a while, but it can't let him escape being swallowed by darkness."
But soon, after seeing the situation that The Flash was facing now, Dr. Manhattan could only lament with regret that he could not escape the fate of being swallowed by darkness after all.
At this moment, he could barely maintain his vitality only because the dark energy was tainted with the characteristics of the Speed Force. He was not instantly swallowed up by this weird darkness like other cosmic realities.
However, the power of darkness has penetrated deep into his bones, and he cannot escape the fate of being swallowed by darkness.
Now, maybe it's just a matter of survival.
"Is it you? I feel your breath!"
At this time, the Flash is trying his best to prevent the endless darkness around him from swallowing his body.
But the increasingly weaker Speed Force lightning on his body made him very clear in his heart that he could not hold on much longer.
The power of darkness has even penetrated deep into his Speed Force, competing with him for control of the Speed Force.
This also resulted in him being unable to use the Speed Force to teleport across the universe and escape the fate of being engulfed by dark energy.
Until, before he was about to completely fall into darkness.
He suddenly felt a familiar aura appearing in the endless darkness.
Life is coming to an end, but Barry does not regret his decision.
He has worked hard to save this universe and the endless multiverse.
It's just that he failed, and the price was more serious, his own life.
He just regrets that his power is too weak to stop this dark force from swallowing up the entire multiverse.
And this familiar breath made him feel a sense of hope.
Suddenly, following Barry's words, a blue starlight condensed in front of Barry, who was trying to resist the invasion.
A dazzling blue light dispersed the surrounding darkness, condensing into a figure that felt familiar to him.
"Yes, we meet again, but your situation at the moment does not look optimistic."
Dr. Manhattan, who had regrouped his body, looked calmly at Barry, who was not in a good condition, and said slowly.
"Yes, my situation is not optimistic. Maybe soon, like others, I will be completely swallowed by this darkness!"
Faced with impending death, Barry seemed to be very free and easy.
"Is it really worth it for you to do this? After all, you once had the opportunity to leave this universe..."
Dr. Manhattan looked at Barry, his emotionless eyes fixed on him for a long time, before finally speaking curiously.
After all, he has informed the universe of the crisis it faces and its upcoming future.
If the other party can listen to his advice, even if he leaves this universe, he may still be able to live for a while longer.
Nor would his intervention lead to worse results like today.
"Of course it's worth it!"
Barry nodded firmly.
"At least, when I faced a crisis, I tried my best instead of retreating!"
"On the contrary, you, knowing that all this is going to happen, are just like an outsider, standing by and watching everything that is about to happen..."
Barry sees Dr. Manhattan possessing extremely powerful power.
He can know everything that will happen in the future, and at this moment he shows that he is not afraid of the power of darkness.
But he did not intervene to save this universe threatened by darkness.
Instead, they chose to stand by and watch all the dangers that were about to happen.
"Unfortunately, I chose to stand by and watch because I know that everything you do is meaningless!"
"Just like me before, I also tried to save my universe..."
The expression on Dr. Manhattan's face finally fluctuated, as if he was caught in some kind of bad memory.
"Besides, I actually didn't fight against this dark force..."
Dr. Manhattan knows that his power is like that of a god, but he still has no way to expel this powerful force of darkness.
This dark force has surpassed him and is an existence that he cannot defeat.
"Maybe, but if you don't work hard, how can you be sure that you really can't defeat evil?"
Barry didn't mean to blame Dr. Manhattan, he just sighed.
"I have a request, I wonder if you can..."
After a long time, the endless darkness eroded Barry more and more seriously, and dark lines began to appear on the surface of his body.
Like countless bulging black blood vessels, they spread all over his body. His face also looked extremely ferocious at this moment, as if he would completely fall into darkness the next moment.
Finally, he spoke to Dr. Manhattan, seemingly with a request.
Dr. Manhattan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, indicating to him to state his request.
"I hope that when you go to other universes, you can inform them of this crisis that can destroy the multiverse, so that they can be prepared and find ways to fight against the darkness!"
Barry is indeed an admirable hero. Even if he is about to die, he still does not forget this crisis that can destroy the universe.
At this moment, a space door slowly emerged around them.
